COPING WITH CHANGE: Part 2
We can adapt to change by employing a few skills. First of all, we can do ourselves a favor by acknowledging it's okay, even normal, to have mixed feelings over change.
Secondly, we do ourselves a favour by granting ourselves adequate time to deal with the change. That is, not rushing ahead of our feelings. For instance, when a loved one has passed away, there is no need to rush to pack up their belongings until we choose to. A mom who has trouble parting with baby items, will eventually know when it is time to do so and hopefully find a fulfilling way to do it. There is nothing wrong with being methodical about adjusting to change.
We can choose to have an open attitude to change, to be an adaptable person. We can choose to put our pride down and be willing to learn lessons from the process. When we go through change and come out the other side and maybe even find that we enjoyed ourselves, our resilience muscles are exercised. We will become even more resilient when we try more and more new things and not only survive, but thrive.
The woman who doesn't want her Christmas routine to change would serve everyone better by becoming flexible, positive-minded, and focused on finding a new solution. She could plan to have a celebration on a different day or plan to spend her time with a completely different group of people. She might even decide to start some new traditions that work well for everyone. And everyone will be grateful.
The person who likes to eat at the same restaurant at every celebration, would benefit from considering other's feelings and interests. When they open themselves up to new experiences, and survive them, they will find they have something new to talk about and look forward to.
When facing change alone is difficult, finding a support group or peers going through similar circumstances can be helpful. Divorce recovery groups, new mom's groups, retirement clubs and so on help you realize you aren't the only one feeling the things you are. People give each other hope, that is the way life works.
It goes without saying that finding someone who is a good listener to talk to is very therapeutic. If you don't want to bog your friends or family down, or if you don't have a trusted friend, don't hesitate to enlist the services of a trained counselor or life coach.
Some people use journaling to record their experiences, struggles, feelings and insights in stressful situations. Writing in a journal helps them to keep things in perspective and has been shown to be therapeutic. It can help them identify the issues bothering them and help them to plan steps they need to take. Looking back on journal entries and seeing how things worked out, provides faith that the new struggle will work out too.
One of the last stages of grief is acceptance. In order to be able to move on, we need some type of acceptance or closure. How we find that varies according to the situation. Here are a few considerations:
Finding closure may mean tackling the issue in as many ways as possible until we have exhausted all avenues and have reached a point of being ready to move on.
Closure can be marked with celebrations, certificates, parties, ceremonies or gifts.
Change open new vistas. Life becomes richer when we continue to learn and grow. Old perspectives are refreshed and renewed when we are open to change. Old memories aren't tossed away, but will continue to be foundational and cherished. Making new memories will be fun. It does no one any good to live in the past while the rest of the world is moving on.
Change happens to us all. We are not alone in the mixed feelings it brings. When you successfully weather change and come through to the other side, use your experience to help others. Then you will see there is purpose in change.

The Vietnamese people in France consists of people of Vietnamese ancestry who were born in or immigrated to France. The population is about 300,000 as of 2012.
Unlike other overseas Vietnamese communities in the West, the Vietnamese population in France had already been well-established before the Fall of Saigon and diaspora that resulted from it.
France was the first Western country to where Vietnamese migrants settled due to the colonization of Vietnam by France.[2] The French assistance to Nguyễn Ánh in 1777 was one of earliest formal political relations between the two nations. Despite continued French Catholic missions, trade and military assistance to Vietnam throughout the rest of the 18th century and 19th century, Vietnam did not become a colony of France until the Cochinchina Campaign in the late 1850s.
During the colonial period, there was a significant representation of Vietnamese students in France, which largely consisted of members from the elite class and royal household. Professional and blue-collar workers also migrated from Vietnam during this period, with some settling permanently. The onset of World War I and World War II saw the French Empire recruit soldiers and locals of its colonies to volunteer with the war effort in Metropolitan France. Roughly 50,000 and 20,000 Vietnamese migrated to France during these periods respectively. The wave of migrants who came during World War I was the first major presence of Vietnamese people in France. While many migrants returned to Vietnam following the war, a significant number resettled in France to work as factory workers, railroad builders, artists, and service workers, primarily in Paris and the surrounding Île-de-France region.[3] One of the few monuments dating back to these earliest waves of Vietnamese arriving in France is the Temple du Souvenir Indochinois, originally erected in 1907 and subsequently relocated to the Jardin tropical de Paris in the Bois de Vincennes.[4][5]
Following the Geneva Accords, which granted Vietnam its independence from France, a number of Vietnamese loyal to the colonial government and Vietnamese married to French colonists emigrated to France. During the Vietnam War, a number of students from South Vietnam continued to arrive in France, as well as members of the middle class involved in commerce. Although many initially returned home, as the war situation worsened, a majority decided to resettle permanently in France and brought their families along.[3]
The largest influx of Vietnamese people arrived in France as refugees after the Fall of Saigon and end of the Vietnam War in 1975.[3] Early Vietnamese refugees who settled in France largely consisted of professionals who made up the middle class and elite in South Vietnam, along with those with high levels of education and those with family already present in the country. Larger waves of refugees later included South Vietnamese from different social standings, although their average level of education and affluence was still higher than their peers who settled in North America, Australia, and the rest of Europe.[3] Furthermore, Vietnamese refugees who arrived in France largely had the intent to request asylum in the country, unlike their counterparts who migrated to other Western countries, who made desperate attempts to be permitted resettlement anywhere possible, especially in the United States.[3] The last of Vietnamese refugees arrived in the mid-1990s, when the remaining refugee camps closed.[3]
Culture and demographics[edit]
Most Vietnamese in France live in Paris (especially in the 13th, 18th and 19th arrondissements) and the surrounding Île-de-France area, but a sizeable number also reside in the major urban centers in the south-east of the country, primarily Marseille and Lyon, as well as in Toulouse. Earlier Vietnamese migrants also settled in the cities of Lille and Bordeaux.[3]
Unlike their counterparts in North America or Australia, the Vietnamese have not formed distinct enclaves within the major cities of France (although many Vietnamese-based shops and cultural institutions can be found in the Quartier Asiatique neighborhood of Paris' 13th arrondissement) and the degree of assimilation is higher than in the United States, Canada, or Australia, due to better cultural, historical, and linguistic knowledge of the host country.
The community is still strongly attached to its homeland while being well-integrated in the French society. Unlike Canada, the United States or other European countries, the educational system in France does not emphasise a multicultural society. As a result, even though the generation of Vietnamese immigrants to France continues to hold onto traditional culture and values, later generations of French-born Vietnamese strongly identify with the French culture rather than the Vietnamese one. Those belonging to the first or second generations born in France know very little about the country of their ancestors and often do not use Vietnamese, although cultural organizations and institutions are present to serve these groups of French Vietnamese.[6] Members of the third or later generations of Vietnamese born in France have largely blended into French society culturally, and have high rates of intermarriage with the ethnic French population.[3]
Vietnamese is the eighth most spoken language of immigrant origin and most spoken Asian language in France.[7] However, a large number of French-born Vietnamese are unable to speak and/or understand it. Nevertheless, there has been an increase in Vietnamese-language schools serving both the community and local French in recent years.[8]
A majority of Vietnamese in France observe Mahayana Buddhism, with influences from Taoism and Confucian thought also present. Buddhist temples have played important roles in the community, helping to serve immigrant needs as well as forming a base for cultural and youth organizations for the generations of French-born Vietnamese. Slightly over a quarter of Vietnamese in France profess to Roman Catholicism, often attending church services in French, rather than forming ethnic specific churches.[9][10]
Holidays observed by the Vietnamese in France include Tết, Vu Lan, and the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition, those who support the Hanoi government also commemorate International Women's Day, the Fall of Saigon, and Vietnamese National Day.[11]
The level of integration among immigrants and their place in French society have become prominent issues in France in the past decade. French media and politicians generally view the Vietnamese community as a model minority, in part because they are represented as having a high degree of integration within the French society as well as economic and academic success. A survey in 1988 among French citizens placed the Vietnamese in fourth place as the most integrated immigrant group in the country, behind the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese communities.[12]
Furthermore, Vietnamese in France on average have a high level of education attainment, a legacy dating back to the colonial era when privileged families and those with connections to the colonial government sent their children to France for studies. French students of Vietnamese descent are also more successful than students of Vietnamese descent among other Overseas Vietnamese communities, having had a longer establishment and higher rates of success at the secondary and higher levels, while students in the latter group have only recently began being represented as successful in the education system of their community's host nation.[12] However, despite this model minority image, demeaning racial stereotypes about Asians (lumping Chinese and Vietnamese people together) are far from uncommon in France.[13]
In the early 1980s, the rate of naturalization of Vietnamese in France was 5%, among the highest rates for immigrants in France (compared with about 0.25% for Algerians, the largest immigrant community).[6] The 1999 census showed that about 75% of those who held Vietnamese nationality received French citizenship.[6]
Despite having high rates of naturalization, the Vietnamese rarely follow French politics, having low participation rates in local and national elections.[14] The generation of refugees from the Vietnam War usually become French citizens for economic rather than political reasons.[15] While they don't follow French politics, they follow Vietnamese politics closely and in the past played pivotal roles in the Vietnamese political landscape in the early 20th century.
The Vietnamese community in France is divided into two opposing camps: those supporting the communist Hanoi government and those who are anticommunists.[9][16] Almost all organisations in the community, including religious and commercial entities, fall in one of the two camps.[17] This division in the community has been present since the 1950s, when Vietnamese students and workers in France supported and praised the Vietminh's policies back home, while Vietnamese loyal to the colonial government and fled to France were largely anti-communist.[18] This political rift remained minor until the Fall of Saigon in 1975, when staunchly anti-communist refugees from South Vietnam arrived and established community networks and institutions. Today, Vietnamese in France are divided between those who support the Hanoi government, who self-identify as "immigrants", and those who are anticommunists, who self-identify as "refugees".[19] The two camps have contradictory political goals and members of one group rarely interact with members of the other group. Such political divisions, especially the presence of a pro-Hanoi faction, have prevented the Vietnamese in France from forming a strong, unified community in their host nation as their counterparts have in North America and Australia.[20]
Supporters of the Vietnamese government[edit]
Those who support the Vietnamese government coalesce under the umbrella group Union Général des Vietnamiens de France (UGVF). UGVF is well-organised and is recognised by the government of Vietnam.[21] A majority of the group's members consist of those who arrived in France prior to 1975 and their descendants, and they tend to have more stable economic conditions. Many UGVF members are also members of the French Communist Party, while some are members of the Communist Party of Vietnam.[22]
Prior to 1975, the goal of UGVF was to advocate for an end to the Vietnam War and to provide support to the Hanoi government. After the communist victory in 1975, many UGVF members planned to repatriate to help rebuild the country, but they were viewed as a threat by the government due to their Western background.[23] Those who were trained in the Soviet Union were viewed more favorably because they were considered to have more palatable political views. Upon their return to Vietnam, the Vietnamese from France could not find jobs comparable to those they held in France.[23] From then on, they have advocated for the formation of a permanent expatriate community in France. Their goals have also changed to maintaining Vietnamese culture among the later generations.[24] The French government considers UGVF a communist organization and their political activities were clandestine until 1981, when they were recognised by the Socialist government.[25]
UGVF organises many festivals for major Vietnamese holidays such as Tết and the Mid-Autumn Festival. These events always include the presence of the Vietnamese ambassador to France.[26] UGVF members have also created many other organisations to compete with the anti-communist groups for the support of the post-1975 refugees within the community. However, these organisations do not clearly state their affiliation with UGVF because many refugees will stop supporting them if they learn about the connections.[27]
While UGVF is not a front for Vietnamese communists in France, its political outlook is closely aligned with the Vietnamese government.[28] Some French-born UGVF members have seen it as being too dependent on Hanoi and have started domestic activist movements, such as fighting against discrimination.[29]
Unlike the Hanoi supporters, the anticommunists don't unite under any single group, but they share the same view of opposing the communist regime in Vietnam.[30] Prior to 1975, there were very few anticommunist groups operating in France, with members largely consisting of those loyal to the colonial government who fled to France following Vietnam's independence led by the Vietminh. After 1975, with the arrival of boat people refugees in large numbers, their activities dramatically increased.[31] These groups consist of refugees arriving in France after 1975 and their descendants, so the economic situation of the first generations is less stable, and they are not as organised as UGVF.
While UGVF seeks to portray the Vietnamese community in France as a united community supportive of the government, the anticommunist groups seek to inform mainstream French that there are fundamental differences in political views among the community.[32] They often stage protests against the Vietnamese government, often advocating boycotts against businesses with ties to UGVF.[33]
Vietnamese in other French territories[edit]
There are official reports of much smaller populations of Vietnamese in other territories of the French Republic. Most notable are the Chân Dăng of New Caledonia, descendants of Vietnamese contract laborers and prisoners recruited to work the nickel mines of the Pacific island during 1890s to early 1950s. Many laborers returned to Vietnam after their contract expired, while prisoners were repatriated back to their homeland as free citizens. However, a significant number of workers decided to remain on the island after their contracts expired. By the time Vietnam gained its independence from France in 1954, Vietnamese had formed about 6% of New Caledonia's population.[34]
Following Vietnam's independence, most Chân Dăng were stateless people while France negotiated with the governments of North and South Vietnam to repatriate back laborers.[34] Although the vast majority of Vietnamese in New Caledonia originated from northern Vietnam, in 1957 the French government agreed to return ethnic Vietnamese who did not have permanent residency in New Caledonia (a French territory) to South Vietnam, which it had a better political relationship with. This created protests among the Vietnamese, who desired to return to their native region and petitioned to the Hanoi government to send delegates to New Caledonia for negotiation.[34] After two and a half years of talks with the North Vietnamese government, France eventually agreed to send back Chân Dăng to northern Vietnam. Over 4,000 laborers returned during the mid-1960s, while about 2,000 Vietnamese remained in New Caledonia.[35] As of 2009, the Vietnamese population in New Caledonia was about 3,000, with members being heavily involved in commerce and the service industry.[36]
In French Guiana, a small Vietnamese community originating from the refugee waves of the Vietnam War is found alongside a much larger Hmong population, of which some members originate from Vietnam. In French Polynesia, a small Vietnamese community forms part of the East Asian community that is 4.7% of the population, largely consisting of descendants of laborers from the early 20th century or refugees from the Vietnam War.

About Shelley Grisley
I live with my husband and two teenage children in a small village near Guildford in the Surrey Hills. I very much enjoy walking in the beautiful countryside surrounding us, practising Yoga and spending as much time as I can with my family and close friends. We decided to buy property in the South of France as we wanted somewhere we could get to easily and quickly, with a great location, in a traditional apartment building, close to all the restaurants and amenities there are to offer and with a general guarantee of warm weather and wanted a sound investment. This is exactly what we have in Cannes now with our beautiful apartments and always look forward to our next trip there.
Shelley Grisley purchased this apartment in 2010
Why Shelley Grisley chose Centre-ville - Croisette
The apartments are very comfortable and give the feeling of 'home' but the best thing is the beautiful large Terrace which each apartment has. We have made the terraces to look like small gardens, with Cypress trees, Jasmine climbing up trellaces and bamboo plants which all help to give a sense of calm and make the areas very pretty and appealing. The large pergolas provide essential shade from the midday sun and it is so lovely to be able to spend a great deal of time outside in the privacy of our own apartment - right in the middle of a lively town! We enjoy sitting out in the evenings and having dinner and relaxing on the terrace without having the need to book up restaurants or eat inside the apartment. It is hard to imagine sometimes that the apartment is right in the centre of such a lively town when we are relaxing outside on our beautiful Terrace! It is a truly private haven for us as a family and we very much enjoy staying with our friends and using both apartments - thereby allowing us all to have our own privacy, yet to be next door to each other and have our own Terraces to use -it is just perfect.
What makes this apartment unique
The location of the apartments being situated on rue Freres Casanova, which is a small pedestrian street off the busy rue d'Antibes and also running parallel with rue d'Antibes is the lovely pedestrian street of rue Hoches, which is lined with coffee shops and restaurants. The restriction of vehicles is wonderful and so makes the atmosphere at the apartment calm and peaceful. The greatest asset are the large terraces. We spend many hours relaxing and having meals around our dining tables or just lazing in the sunshine reading a book and enjoying the beautiful sunshine in private. We then choose our times to go down to the beach for a swim, usually early in the morning or late afternoon. It is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy and is our real 'home away from home'!

"Dear Jerry and Jean,
Got your letter today Jean. We sure were glad to hear from you. This was the first letter in two months so it really was time you wrote to us.
So Jack is in Great Lakes. He sure is not far from home. I should think he would be glad hes so close to home. He maybe could come home some weekends and your folks could go and see him to. I sure wish my boys were so close to me.
I hope you got the pkge we sent you. We got a big kick out of sending this. Jerry and his cocoa.
Milly is to a music doings this p.m. Mrs Bob Miller asked her this morning. Its for her pupils. She gives them lessons. Its in the officers club. I was asked to but I stayed home with Susan. She is going to start school again tomorrow morning. She has such a good appetite now.
I got a letter from Cliff yesterday written Feb. 9th and Beany's Jan 31. I hope we hear soon what is the trouble with his stomach. I sure hope he can come home if he should have ulcers. No wonder they get sick in their stomach eating what they have to on battlefields out of cans. Lorne said its terrible. We expect Lorne home today. Then when he comes home he goes to Texas for 5 days.
I got 1/2 dozen corners for Cliff's album. He asked me to send him some and I got him a book of cards- views of Benning and Columbus and we put in his box 4 pkges of gum. All that come to 8 oz. so I can send him something else now on his request.
You should see the buses that go by full of soldiers. I'm sitting writing in my window upstairs so I see everything going by.
Last Sun nite I went all alone and played Bingo but no luck. I won 2 times. Got 95¢ and $1.15 but I played it back. A Col. and his wife took me home. I met them at the club a couple of weeks ago. When I come in Milly said, 'Mom who took you home!'. I sure laughed at her. Pretty excited I guess.
I got a check from the income tax for $8.87 in Dads name but I cant cash it so maybe I'll keep it till I get back and go and see them. Its from Mpls. I'm going to ask Lorne what I shall do when he gets home.
Well must close and hope you are fine. Write me all news.
Love Mom"

One of the ways to promote a club or campus event on campus is to have a table in Decker. Decker is the heart of the college, the center that every student walks through whether it be a short cut to class, on the way to getting a meal at one of three dining options, or picking up their mail. Along the halls there are tables stationed to give out information about events or promote awareness for certain clubs or activities. So how do people get attracted to a table?
One key in attraction is handing out things for free. The free candy has always been popular with students to entice them to visit your table, but also is overdone. For a campus group I am promoting, Global Initiatives, we wanted to be creative in getting people to come to our table. So what did we do?
We did three things. The first was free candy, and the second free pens. While the free thing was great our club schemed up an idea of having something interactive. This idea turned out to be buttons! Global Initiatives is allowing students to create and design their own button, which we will then deliver to them. It turns out students love the idea of creating something for themselves, especially because there are stickers involved. Almost every college student loves a good blast from the past, and stickers are a great reminder of the blissful innocent days of our youth. The table sitting has also become a lot more fun now that it has some variety.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Jan & Tey! They photographed our wedding in October 2012 and I could not have been happier to hire them to shoot our wedding. I had very high standards for my wedding photographer. I didn't want just want wedding pictures, I wanted AMAZING wedding pictures! Something that looks like it comes from a magazine and something that I can hang up in our house as art, not just some cheesy posed stare-at-the-camera-and-smile wedding portrait. (No offense to anyone that has those types of wedding pics....just not mine and my husband's style). Jan & Tey absolutely delivered and our photos turned out better than we could have imagined! Jan & Tey will capture amazing shots and you will never know they were there and that you were capable of looking that good in your photos. Haha. They capture the candid moments of your wedding day so beautifully, you can really feel the emotion in their photos. The day flew by and was such a blur, but whenever I look at my wedding pictures, I can remember how I felt at that moment. Jan & Tey are that good at what they do.
They not only do amazing candid shots but do fantastic posed portraits! They will NOT look cheesy and they make you look like models! My husband and I are kind of awkward when it comes to getting our pictures taken, but you would have never guessed from our pictures because Jan & Tey did such a great job with the poses so that they looked natural. In our engagement shoot w/ Jan, it was a little weird at first because it was our first time getting photos taken of us and being posed for pictures but Jan made us feel comfortable and we soon loosened up and our pictures turned out great! Their photos are so creative, unique, dramatic, and beautiful. You won't be disappointed!
Their prices aren't cheap but we were surprised to find that they were willing to work with us since we were on a budget! In the end, we still ended up splurging a bit because we wanted their amazing photos!

My husband and I found Jan Garcia through wedding websites. We loved his style and the postive feedback. Tey, his wife, was very helpful with providing us information. We met Jan for the first time at our engagement session. My husband and I felt so much at ease since Jan really guided us through our entire 3 hour engagement session. We had 3 different locations (in close proximity) with 3 different wardrobe changes. Jan really takes his time and has such a great eye for what will look good. We trusted him completely!
We cannot wait for our wedding photos to arrive. We barely realized he and the associate photographer were there but upon seeing family personal pictures, they were everywhere catching all the special moments.
E-mail contact is sufficient with Jan. Just let him know what you want. Even if you don't hear back immediately, Jan will give you what you want!

Jan & Tey Garcia Photography was the best decision I could ever make for my wedding photographer. They do such awesome work & the most important was that they made me feel so comfortable with them! The minute I walked in their studio I knew right away they were the ones! They are very warm welcoming people & I loved every minute working with them! I feel comfort is the most important part in taking pictures and Tey knew right away how to make us feel that way! The quality of the pictures are perfect! They have very perfect timing & are very very organized! I think it was such a privilege to work with them and I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you Jan & Tey!

Jan and his wife/assistant Tey could not have been nicer! They were so great about inconspicuously capturing our wedding day. One of my friends said they were like ninjas, because you barely noticed they were there. But when we got the pictures back, they had captured everything perfectly! The photos are beautiful, and they were so great to work with. I recommend them to everyone!

We LOVED Jan Garcia! He is probably one of the best decisions we have made in regards to our wedding and I would definitely recommend him to family and friends of ours. He and his wife, Tey, truly are passionate about what they do and genuinely care about their clients needs. The day of our engagement shoot I was so upset about the bad weather so Jan was nice enough to reschedule for us. And on the day of the wedding, he & Tey stayed with us longer than needed just so we could get as much photos as we could and capture every single moment. We cannot say enough about Jan Garcia - he is a true talent and absolutely AMAZING. Thanks Jan & Tey for capturing our wedding day and giving us beautiful memories to last for a lifetime!

Jan and Tey's photography is so beautiful. We could not be happier with all of our photos from the wedding. Despite the fact that we have over 650 pictures, we want more! They are so professional to work with and even put up with my husband's annoying groomsmen. Thanks Jan and Tey!

Jan Garcia is a fantastic photographer. It was a wonderful experience working with him. He is calm, patient and very professional. Our wedding photos are amazing. My husband and I highly recommend Jan Garcia. My best friend got married 3 months after us and he was their photographer as well. Their experience was as positive as ours.

My wife and I were married in 2009 at the Newport Beach Marriot. We wanted our wedding to be perfect in every way, so we took an inordinate amount of time to research and interview all of our vendors and the people we would be working with. We evaluated about 10 different photographers. When we met with Jan and Tey, they were the clear choice. Their photo journalistic style, creativity, and ability to truly capture the moment trumped all of the others we looked at, which included one award-wining, highly respected photographer that we met with.
From our engagement pictures to our engagement party and onto our wedding day, Jan Garcia captured the essence of us, our personalities, and our special day. The results were everything we had hoped they would be and then some. Jan Garcia was by far our best and most important vendor (second ONLY, of course, to the bartender --- J/K!).
Also notable is that Jan and Tey work very well as a team. They were synchronized and on top of things every step of the way and did an excellent job in managing the overall process. I just attended a wedding where I was a groomsman and the photographer was rather disorganized and did not seem to have much of a creative twist. When I saw the pictures, it they were nothing to get excited about. They were just pictures. Jan Garcia's work is next level.
We've heard nothing but good things about Jan Garcia and we refer friends to them without hesitation. One of my wife's co-workers saw our wedding pictures and wanted to use Jan Garcia for her wedding, but they were unfortunately booked. For a moment, she actually contemplated moving her wedding date to secure them.
Lastly, I will say this: when friends of ours who are already married look at our wedding pictures, they experience what I term "wedding photo envy," as their wedding photos are not as nearly as nice and artistic as our special moments that we get to enjoy forever. Jan Garcia is not only creative and amazingly talented, but they are also a pleasure to be around. You can tell instantly that they truly love what they do and that passion resonates when you meet them.

Jan and Tey were great to work with. The engagement pictures came out GREAT! We are still waiting for our wedding pictures, but I am sure they will turn out beautiful as well. They both are so nice and wonderful people to work with. Their prices are a little on the high side, but they are worth it, as their style and quality are great. I would recommend them instantly! They are so unique from other photographers I have seen, so I booked them right away.

N.Y. Scene August 2010: Astoria, Queens and Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn
Check My Grill @ Sweet Revenge in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn
While the Queens lesbian scene is just taking off, Brooklyn's lesbian scene is perceived by many to be the center of all things lesbian in New York City. The neighborhood of Park Slope is affectionately known as "Dyke Slope," and there is a lively artsy queer scene extending from the western part of Williamsburg all the way to Bushwick. The Gowanus-based monthly party That's My Jam, never fails to bring in a sizeable crowd, and for better or for worse, Ilene Chaiken has reportedly been eyeing the borough for the next installment of The Real L Word should it be renewed for a second season.
Whereas Park Slope/Gowanus and Williamsburg/Bushwick have inserted themselves in the public consciousness as being high profile queer social centers, the neighborhood of Bed-Stuy has stayed under the radar, despite having a rich history of queer activity, especially among gay people of color. Parties such as Sweat! and the Audre Lorde Project's Sunday night party The Lab – and gay bars such as Langston's are all testaments to a culturally rich population of queer people of color in Bed-Stuy. And That's My Jam, mentioned earlier, which has been written up by Time Out New York and New York Magazine, had its beginnings in Bed-Stuy in 2008 at the now-defunct Sputnik before moving to its new location at The Bell House in Gowanus.
One of the founders of That's My Jam, professionally known as DJ Tikka Masala (www.djtikka.com), is a resident of Bed-Stuy and a staple in the Brooklyn queer scene. After gaining notoriety for turning That's My Jam into a success, drawing hundreds of revelers per event, Tikka landed gigs opening for MC Lyte, Talib Kweli, The Gossip, DJ Premier of Gangstarr and Meshell N'Degeocello, among others. In May of this year, Tikka teamed up with DJ Whitney Day (www.whitneyday.com), another Bed-Stuy resident and fixture in the Manhattan lesbian DJ circuit, and the pair launched Check My Grill at Sweet Revenge, a queer-friendly bar owned by two women in Bed-Stuy. The concept is simple: throw some frankfurters and other barbecue staples on a huge grill in the outdoor garden area and punctuate the air with beats to create the quintessential summer dance party.
L to R: DJ Tikka Masala and DJ Whitney Day
Whitney Day, a regular on the decks at high profile Manhattan parties Proposition, Q-Girls, Stiletto and Snapshot and several queer parties in Boston, said that Check My Grill sprang out of her and Tikka's mutual love of food and music. "We wanted to create a fun, queer party in our neighborhood that involved two of our favorite things: food and music," she said. Tikka added, "For me, the concept of food and music linked up has been part of my M.O. since day one – hence the name DJ Tikka Masala. Last summer I got inspired by going to an event with a chef friend in Berlin for an art show I went to after a gig in Amsterdam. It involved firing up an amazing grill and then getting the community out to enjoy art, food and music together – it was super casual, laid back, outdoors – the antithesis of a chic club night."
Whitney Day on grill duty
The crowd is a racially diverse mix of old guard Bed-Stuy queers, hipsters in skinny jeans, recent college grads, and a smattering of young professionals. Said Whitney Day, "Although it is mainly a queer party, all are welcome! Anything goes."
I asked Tikka to characterize Bed-Stuy's queer scene in 2010, and she replied,
"[T]he queer people who live nearby come from a lot of different backgrounds and have different histories in this neighborhood, and they appreciate a breadth of musical styles. They love their dancehall here, they love their hip hop too, there are riot girl influenced kids who are really into the dancey punk stuff as well, and then there are folks who need their house music fix on the regular – they all chill together here because it's not a designated area for a certain type of queer person. Bed Stuy is eclectic and really laid back, and it's got some old queer landmarks, a history of queer activism – especially in the people of color communities – plus some young queer kids who don't feel like hauling their lazy asses into the city to spend a paycheck for a fun night. Music really brings it together in the best possible way."
Said Whitney Day, "The area of Brooklyn where Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy are located is a very LGBTQ-friendly area. I definitely see more and more lesbians moving here."
The next Check My Grill is Thursday, September 2, at Sweet Revenge.
Sweet Revenge is also home to BBQueer, an event produced by Tikka and her That's My Jam business partner Trent Brooks, that will be held every Friday in September. That's My Jam's second year anniversary party will be held September 18 at the Bell House in Gowanus, and Tikka also hinted at a new monthly party to launch in Manhattan "on the biggest baddest sound system in town. It literally has the lowest, clearest bass in the city. The turntables are on shocks because the bass shakes that hard." Also, check out Whitney Day's DJ/Artist feature and DJ mix currently running at No Labelz Magazine. Wow, these girls are busy. We learned from the Beastie Boys that there is no sleep 'til Brooklyn, but it looks like there's no sleep for these ladies in Brooklyn either.
So a while back I made a map of the world according to Brooklyn lesbians, and I concede that there is a glaring omission. Allow me to amend the map.
That's better.

Healthy Living is a monthly special section published in all 18 Anton Community Newspapers focusing on a wide range of health topics and highlighting the extensive health services available in our area. A sampling of current stories appears here.
If you are a gardener, around this time of year, your tomato and pepper plants are getting taller, basil is filling out, you might even be getting fast-growing stuff like lettuce and spinach already. As you think about how you garden at home - hopefully with an organic soil and certainly without the many hazardous pesticides used in commercial farming – it is a good time to think about all the foods you cannot grow and how they could affect your health. If you don't garden at all, the same question applies: are traces of dangerous chemicals left on the fruits and veggies you and your family are making the effort to eat in order to stay healthy?
One gardening guru says that through his own research he found that there is a significant amount of "pesticide residue" on the fruits and vegetables we most commonly eat. George Pisegna, director of Horticulture and Public Programs at the Horticultural Society of New York works at the largest gardening library, offering consulting and education on everything related to growing plants. He told Anton Community Newspapers that looking at reports coming from the USDA confirmed his instinct to eat organic foods.
Over the past decade, hookahs have become a growing phenomenon and a new ritual of teenage culture. The word "hookah" originated in India, and was first put into English speech by the British. The hookah is a pipe that works by burning tobacco in a bowl with a screen over it, and then sending it through water before delivering it to the user's mouth through a hose. The use of water in the device is inaccurately believed to make hookahs safer than other forms of smoking, such as cigars, cigarettes and chewing tobacco.
To the outrage and frustration of health groups, the exotic device is now becoming commonly seen at parties on college campuses and newly-constructed "hookah bars" throughout the country. Their use has also been the subject of a growing public health debate, centering on whether or not it legally qualifies as indoor smoking.
Leading up to Father's Day every year, Men's Health Week is used as a time to bring a focus to the males in your life who might not give their physical well-being enough attention. This year it is June 13-19.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, men need a push in the right direction:

Living Together Before Marriage Statistics
Many people consider living together before marriage to be more stressful than being married. But recent evidence appear to say that this is untrue. The idea of problems with unmarried couples living together turns out to be based on hearsay and religious thoughts, not based on actual evidence. A new report from the National Center for Health Statistics brings new data to the question. The science was created from the National Survey of Family Growth conducted in 2002.
The study surveyed 13,000 men and women between the ages of 15 to 44 to gather its data. It reports that 71% of men who were engaged when they moved in with their future first wife made it to their 10th anniversary. For men who did not live together before getting married, the success rate dropped slightly to 69%. This slight improvement flies in the face of critics who think livign together before marriage is a bad idea. The statistics were similarly close for women, with 65% of cohabiting engaged couples standing the test of time. This is compared to 66% of women who waited until the marriage was official to shack up. This slight drop in women verifies the data in men.
Meanwhile, the likelihood of an unmarried couple living together lasting the decade after marriage was 55%. While somewhat lower than the other statistics, the results indicate that living together before serious commitment is not a recipe for disaster. The differences between pre-marital cohabitors and only-after-marriage couples "are there, but they are not huge," say statistician Bill Mosher, who was the report's co-author. He argues the couples who do not work to create a vision of their household are going to have problems when they finally live together.
Therefore couples living together unmarried is not a bad thing and may be good for some. The answer to a happy marriage may depends on many other things, rather than living together itself. The simple solution of limiting people from living together turns out to be a bad idea. If it better to consider where you live, if you have premarital education, and if you marry the first and only person you live with. These issues turn out to be much more important in the long run for people who end up getting married. If the above three issues of living together fit your profile, you will not increase your chances of being divorced.
As the living together before marriage statistics show, the cohabitation is not necessarily a problem, but it is not a solution either. The real issues stem from people's ability to relate to one another and develop a significant bond. Bonding with another person is not an easy task and usually requires some adjustment of expectations and reality for it to happen. Marriage is a learning process and sometimes people require counseling and other interventions in order to begin to have a happy marriage. So people need to really think about their issues with living together before marriage and figure out if it is right for them.
