Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the Zodiac calendar and includes all those Born in between 20th January and 19th February. These people are marked by an open-minded and enquiring intellect – qualities which you are likely to find and appreciate in your Aquarius boss as well.
Believer in the unconventional
The Aquarius is reputed as the original rebel of the zodiac. These people pore deep over what makes the world tick and can be trusted to come up ideas and hypotheses which seem to be way ahead of their time. This is why they are attracted to the new and different. So the best way to get the attention of your Aquarius boss would be to stand out from the crowd not so much in terms of dress and appearance but in your approach to life. Show them that your thoughts and ideas do not take their counter from mere tradition but spring up from your own mind. If this seems too complicated, just be sure to avoid the trite and the conventional. Don't for instance root for a political candidate or an advertising campaign just because everybody else seems to think they're great. Reveal your individuality in opinions and actions and you can be sure of attracting the attention of your Aquarius boss.

An enthusiast of the new
In keeping with the spirit of innovation, Aquarius men and women are attracted to the highly advanced, whether in case of ideas, knowledge or technology. This is evident from the fact that they can be found using the latest smart-phone at work and toying with the most complicated gadgets in their leisure time. So when you are working for an Aquarius boss, don't take pride in being technologically challenged and crib about how modern science is destroying the world. Try to keep yourself updated with the latest developments in the world of arts and sciences. In fact it is not even necessary for you to share your boss's enthusiasm for gadgets that look like tablets and cost the earth, but be sure to adopt a more balanced view about how new thoughts and knowledge should be used for the betterment of mankind.
Humane outlook
The previous point actually brings one to an important aspect of the Aquarius personality – their genuine altruistic natures. And this coupled with a keen, probing mind makes Aquarians the visionaries of the zodiac. They are drawn to what will make the world a better place to live in and as a result many famous reformers and progressive thinkers have come from their ranks. Like the symbol of the Water Bearer which marks this zodiac sign, Aquarians believe in carrying the gifts of knowledge and thought and pouring it out for humanity. In your boss you may find evidence of this trait in his/her interest in adopting the latest energy conservation measures at the workplace or volunteering to update catalogues at the community library. If you want to impress your boss, it would be a good idea to share some of their goals for the betterment of society. However even if you don't fully subscribe to an Aquarius' humanistic code, make sure that you don't come off as mean and petty-minded in your dealings with co-workers.
Uncomfortable with regimen
The curious thing about Aquarius bosses is that despite having people working for them, many are uncomfortable with strict nine-to-five schedules. They would much rather be away on field trips or in libraries researching on subjects that interest them rather than attending board meetings or being compelled to take policy decisions. In fact some zodiac experts would go so far as to suggest that Aquarians are cagey about giving orders and have no particular desire to direct others. The Aquarius president of the school where you teach would much rather let disciplinary issues be handled by the vice-president while he/she organizes brain-storming sessions on how to invite students from developing nations to international students' exchange programs. This however doesn't mean that Aquarians do not make competent bosses. Despite being forgetful, eccentric and thus apparently unsuitable for executive positions, you can trust your Aquarius boss to win over people and projects with their uncanny powers of perception and their razor-sharp mental acuity. Add to this their broad, liberal Uranus philosophy which sees miles into tomorrow and catches the big picture in all its scope while others are still floundering over non-essential details and you know why your boss is where he/she is right now.
Their quirky natures
The Aquarius sign is ruled by two planets, Saturn and Uranus and perhaps this is why you may be puzzled by a curious duality in your boss. While he/she has a lively social life, they might appear to shun emotional intimacy. Similarly, they may be motivated by liberal humanitarian ideals but also impatient and headstrong when faced with resistance to his course of action. Sometimes this quirkiness of personality can get too much to handle; your boss for instance can be maddening when he/she plans complicated programs behind your back and springs them on you at the last minute. And there will rarely be an employee at your workplace who hasn't chafed under your chief's frustrating habit of handing over a completely new and unexpected job to do, blithely neglecting to explain the reason behind the change. However once you have learnt to take their unpredictable and erratic natures in stride, you will secretly come to find your boss a lovable old dear, who just minds the company's business and never interferes into yours.
Finally always be prepared for change when working for an Aquarius. It is perfectly possible when you arrive for work one Monday morning to find that your office has been moved to another floor and your boss simply forgot to tell you about it. Or perhaps he/she will announce one fine day that guys from the IT department are coming into to overhaul your entire computer system. While working for an Aquarius you need to adjust quickly and be flexible since this is a personality always on the lookout for newer ideas which will finally make things better for everyone.

A collection of amazing etchings made by Lee Walton's Etching I class will be on display in the Art Truck. The show is titled "I Am For An Art" and is inspired by the statement from artist Claes Oldenburg. The students curated and organized the show.
"I am for an art that is political-erotical-mystical, that does something other than sit on its ass in a museum.
I am for an art that grows up not knowing it is art at all, an art given the chance of having a starting point of zero.
I am for an art that embroils itself with the everyday crap and still comes out on top.
I am for an art that imitates the human, that is comic, if necessary, or violent, or whatever is necessary.
I am for all art that takes its form from the lines of life itself, that twists and extends and accumulates and spits and drips, and is heavy and coarse and blunt and sweet and stupid as life itself."
(excerpt from "I Am For…" [Statement, 1961] by Claes Oldenburg)

Maybe you jumped on the bob bandwagon and now regret it. Or maybe you're over never being able to grow your hair longer than a lob. Or maybe you just clocked Amber Heard's achingly pretty, modern take on Hollywood waves and decided you're done with anything less than Rapunzel-esque lengths.
Whatever you're reason, here is how to grow long and luscious hair faster than nature intended.
1 Your hair is what you eat
Here's the thing, your hair obviously isn't as essential for your body to function as say your heart, liver or lungs, so when your body is divvying out nutrients, it's way down on the priority list. Supplements and a diet rich in hair-feeding foods are your best bet at giving your scalp the nutirients it needs.
Super supplement Viviscal was once the secret weapon for models trying to revive their ravaged hair post-fashion week or A-listers recovering from an Oscar-winning hair cropped performance. Now it's hugely popular in the real world too. Loaded with marine proteins and hair-loving vitamins, the results make it definitely worth the commitment.
Also try looking at your diet. Andrew Wilson, Hair Loss Expert and Director of Transitions Hair says to give your hair the best shot of shooting down, you should be having a diet rich in the following.
Eggs **–** Rich in Biotin, a B vitamin that is essential for hair growth and an overall healthy scalp.
Spinach** –** Spinach is a great source of folate and iron, it's essential for internal health and better yet it can lead to hair growth.
Capsicum – Yellow, red, and green capsicums are an excellent source of vitamin C, vital for maintaining healthy hair.
Lentils – Iron-rich sources of protein such as lentils are crucial for cell growth including hair cells - Particularly critical if you are experiencing hair loss or thinning hair.
Sweet Potato – Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, which is excellent for people with thinning hair as it boosts the scalps natural oils to prevent dry and lifeless hair and also promotes cell growth.
2 Start in the shower
It's a catch 22 - Excess shampooing strips your scalp of natural oils, while going days without and compensating with dry shampoo can irritate and aggravate your scalp. Once you've developed a balance that works for you, stick to shampooing your roots only, as lathering your ends willdry them out.
3 Keep up the conditioning
Your best bet at protecting the hair you do have is regular conditioning and weekly protein treatments. Not only do they replace the lipids and keratin within the hair shaft, but they help seal the cuticle and prevent breakage.
4 Happy scalp, happy hair
Layering your lengths with conditioner stops them snapping but growing incredible hair starts at the roots. Just like your face, your scalp needs a regular routine of gentle, but thorough cleaning, treating and moisturising to function properly. If your head gets dry, itchy, or stings, try switching to a sulphate free shampoo or step it up with a totally scalp-friendly hair care line.
5 Small things, big difference
Swap out your pillowcase – Cotton causes more friction, resulting in more tangles leading to breakage. Try a satin one instead.
Switch to a snag-free hair tie – Your go-to ponytail is a sneaky strand snapper.
Ease off the styling – It's simple: Styling causes stress to the hair, so backing off the tools gives it the best chance of growing.

Thanks for the Trouble
by Tommy Wallach
288 pages
Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers (February 23, 2016)
This is one of those books where the synopsis sounds generic, but there is good reason for it. Saying anymore would give everything away. So stick with me.
Synopsis from book cover:
"Parker Sante hasn't spoken a word in five years. While his classmates plan for bright futures, he drifts along, hanging out in hotels, watching the guests. But when he meets a silver-haired girl named Zelda Toth, a girl who claims to be quite a bit older than she looks, he'll discover there might be a few things left worth living for."
This book felt like someone took a bunch of familiar story lines, threw them into a blender, and produced an old favorite with a dollop of Tommy Wallach. (Wallach is the author, people) Did that make any sense to you? (It means that between this book and "We All Looked Up" I saw some similarities in the style and way life topics were addressed, in a way that can only mean those places are where we see the author shining through.)
I admit that "We All Looked Up", Wallach's debut novel wasn't really my jam for a lot of reasons. But he's still a great writer, and I listened to one of his songs and liked that too. Both good reasons to give "Thanks for the Trouble" a go, in my opinion.
"Thanks for the Trouble" was random, full of tangents, weird, extremely thought-provoking, funny, honest, and the plot was very much like stories I've read before, but not quite like anything I've read before. Like I said, it's the Wallach touch that makes this.
So what am I trying to say? I enjoyed this immensely. It's a fast read and it's a really weird read, but it made me laugh unexpectedly many times and it was just what I needed. I thought Zelda and Parker were totally authentic characters and I thought this story traveled an honest path.
Wallach is 1 for 1 with me now. Very much looking forward to his next work.
Check the link below to win a "Thanks for the Trouble" prize pack, including: hardcover edition of TFTT, a journal, pair of sunglass (as seen on Zelda on the cover) Open to US only, closes March 15.

WEB/FTP Speed Maxing Out for every client connecting
Whether its a user downloading via FTP or one downloading via WEB(HTTP) they all report that it stabilizes at 4.5Mb.
To me that speed is awesome, if i download files from my fav file sharing sites i maybe get 1-1.6Mbps.
I checked the CONF for my FTP server and the line for limit bandwidth is fully commented out by default.
Havent checked WEB Service CONF yet, but if both are stabilizing at the same speed i am pointing toward PFSense or ISP
Any help or ideas will be def appreciated.
I take you mean MBytes not Mbits?
What what is your isp connection?
25 Down
So did you mean MBytes or Mbits in remark of speed..
When you say you have only 20 up - it seems impossible that its 4.5MBps
So can you please clarify if your talking bits or Bytes in your 4.5 number – you do understand that 4.5MBps would exceed your stated 20 ?? Up ;) I have to assume bits..
See screen shots
i used a lower case b in my OP not an upper case B
Seems like either of my FTP give the same MAX download speed which stablizes at 4.5Mbps
And who says your upload is 20? Maybe its only 5 ;)
Can you show a speedtest where your doing 20Mbps?
And who says your upload is 20? Maybe its only 5 ;)
Can you show a speedtest where your doing 20Mbps?
See the previous post with the screen shot of the speedtest.net results and the screen shot of the download speed from one of my clients
It's reply #4
Dude from a box behind pfsense - be it your webserver or ftp server or just your PC you use to manage pfsense go to say
etc.. etc.. And what do you show?
So you see my ISP is comcast, and get 28 or so down but only 5+ up.. Where is your ISP details that your suppose to have 25 down and 20 up.. From your testing seems like you only have about 5 up. So lets see just a speed test from something behind pfsense to a speedtest site.. If this shows you can push 20 up… then we can look into why you can not serve more than that up.
Also -- where are they downloading, maybe they only have 5 down? Does not matter how many downloads they try to do at once, etc. Do you want me to try and download something from your ftp, once you show you actually have 20 up?
Why the arghhhhh…........
The test results posted are from my laptop behind my pfsense box. Ill run them again, im not a residential user, i pay for a business connection.
everything i am doing is behind my pfsense firewall, that graph from the client was done by the client, every bit of info i have provided is from my server behind pfsense or from a computer behind pfsense, but the graph the client sent me which is actually as well from behind a pfsense box. Me and the client both run pfsense. I only have one connection and everything goes through the pfsense box.
I pay as a business account for certain speeds. Yes my speeds are high, but i pay for that and it is not cheap.
Here are the results as of this post.
I am also while running this test, have Netflix playing, clients uploading source code to their directories, people hitting web sites i host, and uploading 2 350MB files to a file sharing site.
43 ms ouch!!! Pick a server on the other side of the country?
I am also while running this test, have Netflix playing, clients uploading source code to their directories, people hitting web sites i host, and uploading 2 350MB files to a file sharing site.
That might explain the 43ms ping.. Ok so you clearly have ability to to upload more than 4.5mbps – so again, maybe that is as fast as other end could pull it?
The client reporting the 4.5 speed does pay for a strict 8 down 1 up
i had tuned installed on my Linux server and ran the command to put the throughput performance profile into effect and also irqbalance

Chances are, you've tried to go on a diet before. Maybe even more than once. Perhaps you've joined a gym… or were too intimidated to even think about it. Starvation, hunger, exhaustion—even when you've "succeeded," the weight gradually comes back on and the vicious cycle of yo-yo dieting begins again. Whatever weight-loss efforts you've made in the past, you're here now, and if you're reading this, those methods have failed you for one reason or another.
To succeed in any area of life, it takes a clear-cut plan and surrounding yourself with the right people. Weight loss is no different. At 7Company, we won't just put you on another diet. We'll create a focused, comprehensive eating and muscle-toning plan that will reprogram your metabolism.
We'll work with you to figure out which one of our medically supervised programs is the right fit for your life—and then we'll go one step further and truly customize it to perfectly meet your needs so that you never find yourself looking for a new diet again. Then we'll give you one-on-one coaching and a level of personalized service you never thought possible so the weight comes off and stays off.

A storyboard, the visual representation of a planned room, lays out the style and finish of the room's elements: furniture, paint colors, trims and accessories. The storyboard becomes the inspiration and the road map for achieving the finished room. An interior designer uses a storyboard to show the client all the components of a proposed room scheme. If you are the designer, your storyboard will solidify the plan as you see it and help in the conversation you have with your "client" -- who may be a precocious 13-year-old.
Floor Plan
Your plan should be based on the room's function. List the activities that happen in the room, and plan furniture and lighting accordingly. For example, in a family or play room, you might need a card table, four chairs and an overhead light; a place for watching the large-screen TV with lots of seating; a dartboard; a computer table; and an entertainment unit. And don't forget lots of storage for games and DVDs. Use one of the many free online furniture-placement programs and create a scale plan of your room. Print it on card stock and place it in the center of your blank storyboard poster. White poster board or foam core work well for storyboards.
Inspiration Piece
Attach a sizable photo of your inspiration piece, which suggests the color scheme and mood of the room. For example, if this is a young girl's room, perhaps the inspiration piece is the cover of her favorite princess storybook. For a young boy, it may be the jersey of his favorite basketball player; for you, it may be a floral bouquet.
Furniture and Lighting
Next, gather pictures of the type of furniture, accessories, lamps, rugs, storage units -- and any other furniture -- you would like to include in the room. Cut the pictures out of magazines and catalogs, and print them out from online sources. Take pictures of existing furniture that will stay in the room. If possible, try to keep the pictures in scale. For example, the sofa picture should be considerably larger than the table lamp, but if a small photo loses detail, opt for a larger photo. Arrange the furniture pictures on the poster board. Situate the larger pieces of furniture on the lower portion of the storyboard to create a visual anchor. Keep pieces together on the board if they are together in a room. For example, if you choose a side table and table lamp, position them close together on the story board.
Fabric and Paint
The next layer should consist of fabric samples, trim samples, and paint and finish samples. If you can't get a sample of the flooring, use a photograph of it, or a cutout from a brochure. The 60-30-10 rule of color states that the main color of your room should be on 60 percent of the surfaces, the secondary color on 30 percent and the remaining 10 percent should be the accent colors or metal finishes. With this in mind, plan your colors and the size of your paint chips accordingly. For example, use a 10-by-12-inch piece of fabric as your drapery sample. Fold it into pleats to replicate the look of the drapes; attach it to the board. If you are adding trim to the drapes, fasten the trim close to the fabric sample.
Notes and Labels
It may help to label the pieces on the storyboard. You can label the pieces with a letter and run a legend down one side, describing each piece, or adding fabric names and colors or manufacturer's information. Spray removable adhesive, available in fabric stores, allows you to move the pieces around on the board or replace discarded pieces with new pieces without damaging the board.

Corvette Racing's Oliver Gavin has agreed a deal with leading Belgian FIA GT sportscar entrant, Selleslagh Racing Team (SRT), to be part of its driver line-up for the Spa 24 Hours on 26/27th July.
For his second outing at the Spa classic, round four of the 2009 FIA GT Championship, the 36-year-old from Yardley Hastings, Northamptonshire will be taking to the wheel of the SRT Corvette C6.R with highly experienced Belgian Bert Longin, the reigning FIA GT3 Champion, James Ruffier of France, and former Belgian GT Champion, Maxime Soulet.
As a four-time Le Mans GT1 Champion and three-time ALMS Drivers Champion, Oliver brings to SRT an enormous bank of technical and racing knowledge which, combined with his team mates' experience at Spa and with the Corvette C6.R, offers the team an extremely strong chance for success.
Oliver said today: "I'm delighted to be driving for SRT in the Spa 24 hours this year. It's quite a late deal because everyone's been working hard to try and get their plans together, but I'm very happy to be returning to Spa for the first time since 2007 [when Oliver competed in the 24 Hours with Luc Alphand Aventures' Corvette]. Spa is a fantastic race track to compete at and, of course, the 24 Hours is a special event.
"We've got a line up of drivers with a huge amount of knowledge at Spa and in the Corvette, which I think gives us a really solid foundation to go into the race. SRT is a strong Belgian team with a great heritage at Spa and it's their home race and that gives me a lot of confidence.
"I remember meeting Patrick Selleslagh in 2003 at Pratt & Miller's race shop in the States when he was one of the very first Corvette C5R customers. He's been an extremely loyal and hard working privateer ever since that time and it's a testament to his determination that his team has continued racing and with good results, especially in the very competitive FIA GT Championship."

Lesson Info
Obstacles That Come Up During a Class
We're going to talk about things that are going to come up during your class, okay? Because I want to make sure that everybody is fully prepared for these potential things that are going to come up both with the sort of inner workings of your class in terms of materials, but also interactions with students and sort of difficult questions and comments that might might come up because I know that's something that on our minds is where as we're teaching is, oh, my gosh, I just got stumped by this question, what do I say? Okay? And your workbook, you're going to find a lot of really valuable resource is around this to take with you. So I want to talk a little bit about these these obstacles, and I want you guys to feel prepared for these, okay? And I've given kind of three main categories for these, andi obviously there's other things that might come up with these air, the big ones so difficult students, technical difficulties, right? Because some of us use electricity and lots of differen...
t machinery or equipment, you might have some technical difficulties, and then, of course, what happens when we run out of time or when we go to quickly, okay, which isn't in that category, but I'll discuss that as well, and what I want to go not sure why that popped a party I'm going to talk about difficult students briefly and then we're going to come back to difficult students and things when we talk about question but we're going to call them answers to difficult questions okay, so a difficult student could be somebody who dominates the class okay a difficult student could be a know it all a difficult student could be somebody who is is very sensitive or is kind of an emotional, more emotional student and a difficult student could be an introvert and I want to make sure I'm very clear that I'm not saying that an introverted personality is difficult it just falls under the category of a more of a challenge for the teacher okay, so I want to make sure I'm not saying that a shy student is a difficult student it's just that we I want you guys to think about this type of student in a particular way the rebel who goes totally off script and kind of is doing their own thing during the class and I mentioned this a little earlier you have the russia header as I like to call them and my advice is I've already given it to you but I want you guys to make sure that you are being humble and that you are killing the difficult difficult student with kindness right? So that's going to be the place we're going to approach that situation from first and foremost is try toe approach that situation with kindness first and foremost, okay, and then I'm going to come back to this a little bit later. Are there any questions that come up so far as I'm introducing this? This sort of maybe scary group of students? And I'm not saying that you're going to get every one of these in every class to teach, but you will encounter some somewhat of a variety of these at some point, I almost guarantee can guarantee it. So any questions or comments as we as before we move on, we're going to come back to this. So it's something if something is on your mind, make sure you you you bring it up in a little bit, okay? So I wanted to give very quickly one thing for each of these, just before we move on for the dominator, I would say to kindly cut them off, right if they're dominating during demo time or if they're dominating during question time, you want to kindly cut them off you like, you know, thank you so much for your question I'm just going to stop you right there, I would love it if you would would. You know raise your hand during work time and I'll come over to you you can feel free to cut people off I'm going to stop you right there it's not it's not an offensive thing to do for the know it all I would kindly reiterate that there are many ways to do things right thank you so much bill I love hearing hearing your perspective on what you would do there's so many ways to do this and this in our class we're going to I'm going to show you my way so okay so you're always going to get a little bit of a know it all the sensitive person needs some encouragement right especially the one that's lacking confidence maybe on that day or for a particular reason they need kind encouragement check in on your introverts right if they have if you have a student who hasn't said anything besides their introduction or if you notice that they're not maybe not engaging with other students just checking on them to see how things are going I'm going to give you some more tips later the rebel I would say like wow this is so cool I love what you're doing with this but I want to make sure that you finish our project so why don't you make sure you're doing you know what we're what we're focusing on today just kindly remind them to stay on track and then for the russia header I would kindly remind them that they're part of a class that it's not a one on one, so just, you know, we're going to stay on pace with everybody else. I love how enthusiastic you were, tio be it finished early, but if you could just hold off for the next step, we would all really appreciate that. Are there any anything else that comes to your mind for any of these students were goingto here's some examples in a minute, too. But if there's anything feel free to just jump in and lily too, if there's anything from online? Um okay, so technical oh, difficulties, machinery problems a c heater malfunctions running out of materials, injuries. I'm putting in this category spoiled products. So let's say you on ly brought a certain number of kits and your student destroys their kid and you don't have any more supplies for them, right? Like that? That could happen. Okay, so be patient. Kill the difficult situation with kindness, right? What happens if you walk into the room? You're you're sewing machines were working when you got in there, your class starts and the power goes out. What do you d'oh? Yeah, like let's hope it goes back on, see if you could give them a task while there while you're figuring out exactly that's a really good idea, keep everybody occupied, this especially goes for kids and teens, right? Give them something to do if if there's a bit of a snafu going on, what about this happened to me recently? What if it's freezing cold in your classroom? What could you d'oh could do a warm up exercise you came or yeah, you could do in a jumping jack exercise every ten minutes like they don't know um, I would say I would either myself or sending a helper if there's if you're out of then you figure out if there's a way to turn the a c down slash turn the heating up one of those things right? I would see if you could modify it, knowing that you're not going to please everybody on the temperature in the temperature department, but if it's so overwhelmingly coal or so our own, well, overwhelmingly hot see if there's something you can d'oh running out of materials let's try to avoid that at all costs by bringing extra materials so that we hopefully won't run out of materials, right? But what do you what could you do if you just really you really don't have anything you might have you might have had live it, right? You might have to for me, I would take maybe the one good piece that they did that they do have and try to just work with that so for the rest of the demos they have to use the same piece so they just have to do a smaller demo okay it's not a deal but you can deal with it injuries I would make sure that you know with the venue that you're at kind of understand what the policy is there right so they probably have a first aid kit or you know etcetera or feel free to bring your own band aids or something in case you know and for spoiled products like I said try to avoid spoiling it trying to avoid having not having a backup by bringing an extra kit or two extra kids or three extra kids um and again be patient be patient be patient okay running out of time not finishing project project not getting to a demo I promise this gets easier with with time okay with practice you just have to be humble you really just have to you just have to say look this is oh my gosh could you believe it I did not get to my last demo oh ok if you have your lesson plan you prop this probably won't happen tio ok and you've got your timing down but if I know you have a little bit of a brain melt it happens just be the be humble kill the running out of time with kindness, consensus theme with how I like to deal with these situations. What what is it behind? Above all, we can't be kind to yourself, okay, trying to beat yourself up over messing up, right? We're all human if it happens.

Claude Aimée Villeneuve
This was a very good class, well prepared and packed with such useful information! I've been teaching various arts and craft classes for over 10 years now and did it sort of instinctively. Ashley gave me the tools I needed to refine my classes and prepare really good classes outlines and how to find venues to teach and pitch my classes. That was awesome and I plan to watch it again and again because there is so much in it! This was a first class presentation! Thank you Ashley! Claude Aimée Villeneuve, Visual artist and teacher
a Creativelive Student
I'm not even half way thru the online videos and want to recommend this class to anyone who just needs that extra boost to start their own classes! I like the fact that Ashley suggests that we think from a student perspective to help us to better plan. This class covers many things I have heard before BUT in greater detail. When I hear the 'WHY' of doing things, I'm more likely to follow thru. These videos explain many 'WHYs' (There are many informative sites/classes for this topic but not many people give you 'this is WHY' it should be done this way) Ashley gives the "WHY' and the 'HOW to'. If you want to teach and are mostly ready to teach, take this class and all the gaps will be filled in and you will be ready to go forth and teach your craft!
Barbara Schiffman
Great class -- watched live (most of it) and purchased for ongoing review. I've taught many things, including some crafts (decorating gourds, collage, making your own tarot-collages) but I gained new insights, ideas and confidence from Ashley's advice, the students questions and input, and the panel! I recommend this for anyone who wants to teach a class -- craft oriented, personal development, or anything else!

Images are an important part of a website, you must take care to balance the textual content of your website with some visual elements. Besides, a page with pictures or images is also very appealing to the eye of the viewer.
With the cPanel Image Manager you can view and modify images in your account as well as change the size of the images and convert their file type.
To access the Image Manager
You can now access the Thumbnailer, Image Scaler and Convert Image Format tools:
This tool allows users to create smaller, thumbnail-sized versions of all images in a defined directory of a website. Why exactly would you want small images? The bigger and image is, the more bandwidth it uses. You really should not have high-res or ultra high-res images on your website unless your website is about high-res photos.
The Thumbnailer application can only be applied to an entire directory and cannot be used on individual images.
How to convert images to thumbnails
5. Once you are done, click Thumbnail Images
After the Image Manager has finished resizing the images, a thumbnails directory will be created in the selected folder with the prefix tn_.
Image Scaler
This tool will let users change the size of an individual image in degrees of percentage either up or down.
Rescaling an Image
6. Once you have finished, click Scale Image
The next screen should provide you with a link to view the newly scaled image.
Convert Image Format (jpg,gif,bmp,etc)
Sometimes you have to convert the format of some images to another so they can be viewable with certain programs. Like the Thumbnailer, this tool cannot work on individual images, only directories.
How to convert an image:
The new files should be found in the same directory as the original by default once the process is complete.

The former Conservative leadership contender David Davis put himself at the helm of a growing Tory rebellion today over Liberal-Conservative coalition plans to require a 55% majority before a five-year fixed-term parliament can be dissolved.
Davis said the government was making "a very serious mistake", putting pressure on the deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, to drop the idea when he makes his first major speech on political reform on Wednesday.
Speaking on the BBC, Davis said: "The consequence in the extreme is you could have a government in parliament which could command 45%, or 45% plus one, of parliamentary votes but no more and therefore couldn't deliver a budget, couldn't deliver its manifesto, couldn't deliver its normal legislation and yet couldn't be thrown out either, because you can't force a dissolution."
"That is frankly a terrible formula for government, it could end up with a sort of crippled government."
Davis has been privately opposing the 55% threshold for the last four or five days, but has decided to break cover in face of evidence that the government does not seem willing to backtrack.
The prime minister's spokesman said the legislation was due to be one of the early bills on the statute book.
Davis's intervention also suggests he plans to be an independent-minded senior voice on the backbenches, even though he refused to criticise the coalition as a concept, describing it as "an inspired amalgam" of the two party's policies.Davis said he understood how the 55% threshold had been agreed in very high pressure negotiations, but said it was bizarre that the coalition was going to give the electorate the power to get rid of MPs, but the MPs were not in turn being given power to move the government.
The idea evolved from the Liberal Democrat demand that a fixed-term parliament should be central to the coalition deal – essentially to prevent the Conservatives suddenly calling an election on their terms.
The Conservatives then proposed a 55% threshold for the fixed-term parliament to be dissolved to lock the Liberal Democrats into the coalition and make it impossible for Clegg's party to call an early general election.
He said the issue was central to parliament's ability to dismiss failing governments, adding: "We can dismiss failing MPs now, but ironically, MPs can't dismiss failing governments."
Lord Falconer, the former lord chancellor and a supporter of fixed-term parliaments, has also spoken out against the idea saying it is a formula for "a zombie government" in that it would be unable to enact any legislation or budget, but could not be dissolved
David Cameron has defended the plan saying: "I'm the first prime minister in British history to give up the right unilaterally to ask the Queen for a dissolution of parliament. This is a huge change in our system, it is a big giving-up of power. Clearly, if you want a fixed-term parliament you have to have a mechanism to deliver it."
The Constitution Unit, at University College London has suggested the fixed-term should be four years, not five, but said the 55% threshold was acceptable since governments could still fall on a simple majority, but the parliament itself would not be dissolved.
Liberal Democrats have agreed that the 55% figure is specific for this parliament, and a product of the specific balance of the parties in the parliament.

The Women's version of the Dynafit TLT6 Mountain boot is no less robust than the men's. Although it has a Custom Ready liner with a women's specific fit and slightly lower profile, the TLT6 Mountain Women's CR uses the same shell mold, cuff, and sole. A slightly softer tongues gives a more progressive flex for women and a Grilamid lower shell lightens it up. It has the same impressive combination of agility and performance that evolved from the renowned TLT5. Its ease of use and adjustability make it one of the most complete ski mountaineering boots on the market. And if you haven't used a TLT boot before you will quickly come to love the one-motion Ultra-Lock System that combines closing the top buckle with locking into ski mode, a big time saver during transitions.
Update 2015/16: Hot new colors and power strap make the latest iteration of the TLT6 the best yet. The Ultra Lock strap can be tightened by pulling on the webbing (no Velcro). Then pull the cord for a quick-release and be ready for the next uphill. Otherwise unchanged. Please note the sizes listed at a lower price are the 2014/15 white model.
Note the TLT6 uses the same sizing as the TLT5 in the size chart.

Camping brings out the hungries in kids. They spend their days outside, burning energy, and will be swinging by the campsite quite often for something to eat. It helps to plan ahead and bring along extra snacks to keep your little hungry hippos satisfied.
Trail mix tastes delicious and you can make your own before you arrive. The beauty of it is that you can customize it to the preferences of your family. Basically, you mix together a batch of whole grain cereals, dried berries, nuts, and seeds for snacking. You can sweeten it with honey or maple syrup and it will keep for a long time – though probably won't last long around the kids.
It's an especially good snack for the kids because it provides them the energy they need without a lot of sugar. Trail mix actually contains fiber and nutrients so you can feel good about giving it to your kids. Making it with walnuts, almonds, coconut, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and dark chocolate will make it just about as healthy a snack as you can get.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are a good snack because they are full of vitamins and nutrients but they also help to re-hydrate your little running machine. Kids play all day when they are camping and getting them to drink enough water can be a challenge. They will be more likely to grab and go if the fruits & veggies are cut up and portable. Cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, apple wedges, orange sections, celery stalks with peanut butter…these will all be suitable for a snack when your young ones get hungry and dinner isn't ready yet.
You can add some cheese and yogurt to the list which will provide them some protein and hold them over until it is time to eat. Just watch for added sugars in the yogurt.
Your kids will be little eating machines while you are camping. Of course, they can have some ice cream and S'mores but you can integrate these healthier snacks for balance. Then you can both feel good about what they are eating.

SKI Rules of Behaviour
Ski tracks and lifts
Respect of others
- All slope-users must always behave in such a way that they do not endanger others nor harm them by their behaviour or their equipment.
Control of speed and behaviour
- All slope-users must adapt their speed and behaviour to their personal capacities as well as to the general conditions of the slope, weather, snow conditions and density of other slope-users existing at the time.
Choice of the direction by the slope-user above
- The slope-users who are higher up the slope are in a position which enables them to choose their trajectory. They must always make this choice in such a way that they do not endanger the slope-users below.
- Overtaking may take place above or below, to the left or to the right, but must always be undertaken with sufficient space to take into account the evolution of movement of the slope-user being overtaken.
Entering, starting off from and crossing slopes
- When ever entering, starting off from or crossing slopes, all slope-users must check visually up-hill and down to ensure that they can do so without endangering themselves or other slope-users.
- All slope-users must avoid stopping in narrow places or areas of restricted visibility. In the event of a fall, they should remove themselves from the slope as quickly as possible.
Walking up or downhill
- Any slope-user who is obliged to move up or downhill on foot must keep to the side of the slope and ensure that neither he nor his equipment endangers other slope-users.
Respect for information, signs and sign-posting
- All slope-users must respect information, concerning weather conditions, the condition of the slopes and of the snow. They must respect signs and signposting at all times.
- Any person who is a witness or instigator of an accident must give assistance. In particular, by giving the-alert. Should the need arise, and at the request of the mountain rescuers, he must place himself at their disposal.
- Any person who is involved in, or witness to, an accident must identify themselves to the Piste Patrol (or Emergency Service) (and to any others involved in the accident).

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Shelby County District Attorney's Office shut down a Southwest Memphis home Monday morning and declared it a public nuisance.
The home is located at 477 Delta Road near Shelby Drive and Ford Road.
[googlemaps https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1490029170666!6m8!1m7!1s5s9rY0sbTr_ZHc42MIyUbA!2m2!1d35.01808480901477!2d-90.08001660474353!3f179.75669009117107!4f-7.752534580493233!5f2.1144968897237937&w=600&h=450]
During a press conference Monday afternoon, officials revealed that the home was ordered shut down by Environmental Court Judge Larry Potter on Friday.
When the Multi-Agency Gang Unit served the order at the home Monday morning, Charlie Miller was arrested on federal drug charges.
The homeowner was also ordered to appear before Judge Potter in the next few days.
During the investigation, agents seized drug paraphernalia and other items.
"This home has negatively impacted the public health, safety or welfare of this community," said District Attorney Amy Weirich.
Weirich says MPD has responded to 3 calls to the Delta Road home and more than 3,000 complaints in the surrounding neighborhood.
The crimes include 2 homicides, 11 aggravated assaults, 16 home burglaries and 3 forcible rapes.

Isocolon is a type of communication that includes separate parts that complement each other with similar lengths, styles, or meanings. Words or phrases in isocolon may have the same numbers of syllables, be based on the same root words, or otherwise provide what's called parallelism. Parallelism and other rhetorical methods give a longer phrase or sentence more of a defined and comprehensive pattern. This can help to enhance the ways that a speaker or writer delivers a message to an audience.
One of the best classic examples of isocolon is the Latin phrase attributed to Julius Caesar: veni, vidi, vici, or in English, "I came, I saw, I conquered." Although the English version of the phrase contains elements of parallelism, the Latin form provides a concrete example of this technique on various levels. The three words are not only similar parts of speech, but contain the same numbers of letters and the same numbers of syllables. This example is just one demonstration of how isocolon helps to showcase what is being said in a particular way.
The use of isocolon and similar kinds of parallelism goes back to the earliest recorded written documents of human civilizations. For example, historians have presented significant elements of parallelism in the Hebrew Scriptures as some of the earliest recorded uses of this rhetorical style to appeal to an audience. One way that isocolon works toward enhanced rhetoric or speech and written presentations is that an audience tends to follow the parallel phrases more easily than dissimilar ones. This kind of parallelism also sets up more distinct or stark contrasts between two or more phrases, or, in other cases, provides a more tightly knit and understandable narrative.
The kinds of repetition in isocolon and similar forms of parallelism are often used in persuasive speech. Throughout various ages, listeners in courtrooms have heard lawyers and others involved in criminal justice use this technique to lead an audience. Famous politicians have also made extensive use of this technique from the time of Julius Caesar, or in fact the ancient Hebrews, through the modern era and the rise of modern societies like England and America. The technique is generally useful in laying out complementary or contrasting ideas in ways that appeal to the ear, and knowledgable speakers and writers have included them in many instances of communications delivered for a particular political, social, or religious effect.

The Revival of Vintage Marketplace is THIS WEEKEND!! Yes, I know it's going to be 106', so please do not tell me this. That's like telling a bride it's gonna rain on her day. She knows it, but doesn't need to hear it! Yep. Nothing is going to stop us from all setting up our amazing wares and selling our hearts out this weekend! I've got a new fan. And my battery fan. I'll share it with ya if you come by.
Anyhoo, I've got a little sneaky peeky at what I 've been up to in the studio. You are going to be very surprised at some of the stuff. Really. Because it's new. And I've not told you about it yet. I know I sound like a freakin' broken record about this, but going back to work has changed our lives in many ways. Some great, some not so great. I love working....BUT.....I realized when an artsy friend emailed me a photo of a new product she'd made, I found myself jealous. Jealous...is a bad word in my book. Let me clarify the jealousy though. It wasn't what she'd made. I infact intend to buy one of what she made. It was that she was making new stuff, expanding her horizons and being creative. And I was painting...and painting...and teaching...and painting. I am a painter. BUT, I also love to explore new creative venues. I have so MANY ideas. And this year I had zero time to do any of the ideas. Which quite frankly pisses me off. And her little bunting put me over the edge. So, instead of sulking that I have no time to be this insane creative soul, I took the ideas out of my sketchbook and started making. And in two weeks I have made:
18 Pillows with my art custom printed onto the front. $40 each. (I can't sew a straight line to save my life, so they are truly folk artsy!)
Graham Cracker cuteness.....just saying.
8 Market totes with custom printed art onto fabric fronts. $14 each.

We know that physical activity, good nutrition and maintaining a healthy weight are important factors for good health. However, complex lifestyle factors can get in the way of good health. They can also be difficult for people to change.
Information from national and state population surveys can help us better understand these challenges. They also guide the development of sound policies, programs and practices to improve their health of our communities.
Over time these surveys also help us track whether the rates of childhood obesity and overweight children are growing, along with some of the factors that contribute to these changes.
Each of these surveys has a special purpose and uses different methods. However, the combined results paint a useful picture of children's weight patterns and the behavioural risk factors that can lead to children being overweight and obese.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today Rep. Gene Taylor (D-MS), Chairman of the Seapower and Expeditionary Forces Subcommittee released the following statement on the future of Navy shipbuilding.
"For far too many years I have watched as the size of the Navy fleet has decreased. Each year the Navy changes its plan on how many ships will be built and delays the procurement of ships to future years. The Bush administration's failed strategy of trying to build 'transformational' ships, such as the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and the DDG 1000 destroyer, has crippled the Navy shipbuilding budget and forced years of delays in providing needed capability to the Fleet.
"In particular, the failure of the LCS program to deliver on the promise of an affordable, capable, and reconfigurable warship only puts the exclamation point on a Bush administration's strategy that was neither well envisioned nor properly executed. As for the DDG 1000, we will not know the true cost of that program for a number of years but significant cost growth on that vessel will require diverting funding from other new construction projects to pay the over-run.
"Lacking the expectation of increased funding available for ship procurement, it is more important than ever to set the Navy on an affordable strategy for ship procurement. Continuing resistance from outgoing Bush administration officials to the common sense strategy of restarting the DDG 51 destroyer class is not helpful to the Navy and the nation. The shipbuilding plan needs less meddling, not more. In my opinion there is absolutely no value in spending even more precious shipbuilding funds to re-design the DDG 1000 as a ballistic missile capable platform when the affordable vessel already exists in the DDG 51 destroyer.
"I hope that the new officials within the Obama administration will reach out to the Congress for ideas and suggestions on shipbuilding programs before creating even more imbalance and uncertainty in the shipbuilding master plan. To achieve an affordable, stable shipbuilding plan I recommend the following to the new administration:
• Restructure the LCS program with common combat and propulsion systems between the two variants of ships. Divorce from the use of the defense firms as Lead Systems Integrators and bid a fixed price contract directly on a "build to print" basis with any shipyard that possesses the industrial capability to build the vessels.
• Truncate the DDG 1000 program. The ship is unaffordable.
• Restart the DDG 51 program. Not only is it the finest destroyer in the world but it possesses the capability for strategic missile defense, area air defense, and highly capable anti-submarine defense. Build these ships in quantity. If it improves efficiency to computerize the ship's design into a 3-D modern ship design tool, then Navy should request that non-recurring engineering funding.
• Build combatant amphibious assault vessels, vice the non-combatant versions of the proposed Maritime Pre-Positioning Force (Future) or MPF(F). Use the basic LPD or LHD hull form for any other future large ship, including the next generation cruiser, instead of designing a new hull.
• Build a frigate on the common hull of the Coast Guard National Security Cutter. This is an affordable ship (without Navy making wholesale changes in the design) which is exactly the type of vessel necessary for 80% of the Navy's core missions, including anti-piracy and homeland defense.
"I look forward to working with the administration and the Department of the Navy in discussing these issues and implementing the ones that provide the best capability for the Navy. In my opinion, the worst thing that the Department can do is continue the policy of the previous administration and not seek any guidance from the Congress prior to submitting shipbuilding plans that were unacceptable in cost and quantity."

George Brecht gestorben
È morto George Brecht, genio di Fluxus
Fluxus Conceptual Artist George Brecht Dies at Age 82
L'artiste américain George Brecht, un des membres du groupe Fluxus, est mort à Cologne (Allemagne) …
… the breadth of publications reporting on the demise of this artist is an indication of how influential – and appreciated – his art is. Brecht was a key figure in Fluxus, a 60s movement whose art has been a focus of the Walker in its acquisitions, and his work was featured in the museum's 1993 Fluxus survey. It will also play a prominent role in the upcoming Walker exhibition, The Quick and the Dead, opening in April – that is, to the extent that "prominent" means anything, given that Brecht sought to create "an art verging on the non-existent, dissolving into other dimensions."
Peter Eleey, The Quick and the Dead's curator, has selected several of the artist's "event scores" for placement throughout the exhibition, where they will act in concert as a "larger score." These are simple instructions for performances or "events" that anyone can enact – or in some cases, they simply happen. There's Sink, for example, which is "on (or near) a white sink," and Winter Event, which is simply "snow." And every Thursday is the performance of Brecht's Thursday.
While death means the end of Brecht's career (though you never know, given the morbid preoccupations of many Conceptualists), that of another artist featured at the Walker has been coming into a full flowering. Mark Bradford, a self-described "beauty operator" whose work was included in Brave New Worlds at the Walker in 2007-08, will return to speak here in April (actual date to be confirmed – check back for details).
In the meantime, his Ark – built from the shell of a destroyed house and assorted flotsam from Hurricane Katrina – has become perhaps the emblematic piece at the sprawling Prospect.1 New Orleans biennial. (The image here comes from the exhibition's homepage.) In his review, the New Yorker's Peter Schjeldahl declared it perhaps the single artwork most liked by the locals. Prospect.1 is on view through January 18 should you have plans to be in New Orleans (warmth-seeking Minnesotans, take note!).

Far from the formalities of religious bonds, civil weddings offer greater freedom to the couple. However, they also follow a previously marked program or script. We discover it to you next. In this article, we are going to discuss the development of civil wedding ceremony.
Civil wedding ceremony
Do not you know what the civil wedding ceremony consists of or what parts it is composed of? What characterizes mainly this type of ceremony is that they are less formal than religious, which does not mean that the bride can wear a mermaid wedding dress if she so wishes or chooses a traditional bridal bouquet with beautiful coves. Continue reading: Tips for organizing an original wedding.
The sober character is another distinctive note of this type of celebration, which is usually shorter than the links celebrated in the church -between 10 and 15 minutes- and which can also count on songs for weddings that are much more varied. It will depend exclusively on your choice.
A civil wedding can be held in a town hall or courthouse in the presence of a counselor/notary, and has the advantage that it is also open to being officiated in a beautiful space, such as a garden or a beach, with the help of a master of ceremonies.
Entry and presentation
It is customary to make the entry separately if you prefer you can also get to the ceremony together. In the first case, as in the religious ceremony, the bridegroom waits next to the altar for the arrival of the bride on her father's arm, wearing an incredible natural bridal bouquet. And in the case of equal marriages, in which both partners are of the same sex, it is usually the oldest person who enters first and waits for the arrival of their partner. After the entrance, the officiant of the ceremony greets the attendees and introduces the bride and groom.
First words of the guests
The guests you choose, a relative or a close friend, can say a few words. It will be beautiful if you remember your love story with personal emotional anecdotes. Of course, tell them to be brief so that the act does not prolong too much.
Reading of civil articles
The civil ceremony is very short and simple since it only consists of two parts: the reading of articles 66 to 68 of the Civil Code concerning the rights and obligations of the parties, and the mutual consent of the couple before the mayor, lieutenant mayor or notary and the designated witnesses.
Second speech of an assistant
To end the first part of the ceremony, before giving the "yes, I want," another assistant can again dedicate a few words to the couple. In the background, you can play the music for civil weddings that you like the most.
Acceptance of marriage and exchange to rings
At last the most anticipated moment arrives the "yes, I want" moment. It is the moment in which you can dedicate some personalized votes before exchanging alliances. This jewel is the symbol par excellence of marriage because it represents the union, the commitment and the promise of eternal love between the contracting parties.
A movie kiss!
There comes the moment of the traditional words: "you can kiss the bride (or the groom, if the marriage is between two men)." This passionate kiss is one of the tremendous moments and expected by all. An unforgettable moment in which you will look like that collected for 2018 that you have chosen. Entertain your guests: http://ledmain.com/2017/12/20/9-memorable-ideas-to-entertain-your-guests/
Signature, farewell and departure music
The ceremony concludes with the signature of the registry by the parties and witnesses (at least two), and with the delivery of the family book. It's time to say goodbye and, on the way out, you can again use your playlist and romantic songs for weddings.
After this habitual development of civil wedding ceremony, you can celebrate some symbolic ceremony. Like the one of the light, with candles or the ritual of the sand. In this way, you will give a more emotional and personalized touch to the civil ceremony. In general, is brief and quite simple. By the way, if you want your sobriety to reign on your B-day. Let the guests know so that your party dresses do not turn out to be very ostentatious and opt for nice but simple wedding invitations.

Going on a solo trip with only yourself for company may seem daunting, but can turn out to be one of the happiest times of your life. When you manage everything yourself, from planning the trip to actually going on the trip, it can be overwhelming, but deeply rewarding.
That's why we think everyone should travel solo at least once in their lifetime. Unconvinced? Here are just some of the reasons why you should give yourself a chance to travel solo, and maybe discover yourself in the process:
Be King Of The Castle
Planning a trip can be tricky when you have to coordinate between groups of people, or even with one other person. A plan made weeks ahead of time can change at the drop of a hat, depending on people's whims and fancies. But going solo means you have more freedom. Just ask yourself what you want to do, and then go ahead and do it.
Adventure Time
When travelling alone you can tick more items off your bucket list. Go hiking, trekking, bir billing, cycling or swimming — anything is possible, and at your own pace, since no one's waiting around for you to catch up.
Push Yourself
To travel alone forces you to confront who you are. You are forced to ask strangers for help in sign language because you don't know the local language, or to find your way back to your hotel. Your safety nets are pulled off, and you'll only emerge stronger and more capable.
Stay In Control
Feel like staying in your room rather than going out exploring? Or you want to go to the beach for a lazy stroll rather than trying out that fancy restaurant like you planned? Guess what? You can change your plans at any second; really, the best part about traveling solo is the freedom that comes with it.
Money Control
Deciding how much you want to spend on what is entirely up to you. You can decide to walk back to your hotel rather than spending on conveyance or go hunt for street food rather than ordering room service; the decision is entirely yours.
Finding Yourself
It may sound cliche, but we often lose a sense of who we are while traversing through our busy lives. Going on a solo trip can help you re-discover yourself. When you are true to yourself, making a simple choice between going to a club or hitting the beach in Goa says a lot about who you are.
Confidence Boost
Facing your fears alone builds your self-confidence. When you're pushed out of your comfort zone and you figure your way out yourself, you feel a sense of accomplishment. If shyness has held you back so far, then travelling alone is a must.
Local Flavour
If you're on a solo trip you have better chances of having a good conversation with locals. You can ask for directions to places, or can even try local cuisine at someone's house. You'd be surprised by how welcoming people can be. But bear in mind, you will need to have good listening skills to know people and talk to them about their experiences. Believe us, these stories can have a surprisingly positive effect on you.
So, stop with the excuse that there's no one to accompany you — just start packing. You won't regret it. Go solo!
