|Io Moth on Forest Pansy Redbud
1) First of all tell us a little about your background... where you grew up, where you live now, any jobs beside botanical art, family... stuff like that...
I am an only child and lived in New Jersey my entir life until this June, I now live in Gainesville Fl. I started collecting insects at the age of 5. I spent my summers outdoors at a YMCA camp which gave me a great appreciation for nature. I have a BFA & MFA in studio arts and art education. My major was actually in handweaving and textile design. I worked on a farm for 5 years where I apprenticed as a hand spinner and natural dyer. After graduation I worked for 15 years as a professional hand weaver making women's clothing and selling it through retail and wholesale venues. In 1990 I travelled to Costa Rica and fell in love with the flora and fauna. I decided to go back to school and study botanical illustration at the New York Botanical Garden. I was mostly interested in insect illustration but couldn't find anything but botanical illustrationa classes. After completing the certificate I started teaching at NYBG. In 1994 I became the coordinator until 2005. In 2000 I designed the certificate at NYBG in Natural Science Illustration. The program is in addition to the BIL certificate and is 250 hours. I started seriously painting in 2003 and began painting the life cycles of plants and insects, mostly butterfly host plants. My love for the tropics guided me towards leading tours for artists and photographers to exotic locations like Costa Rica, Belize, Galapagos, and Italy and France. I retired from NYBG so that I could paint more and pursue writing books. I am one of the 62 featured artists in the Contemporary Botanical Artists book. I wrote and illustrated Mother Monarch and Natures Wisdom Oracle Cards. I had a solo show at the Florida Museum of Natural History in 2010. I am currently exploring my new home and looking at what I want to do next!2) How and when did you become interested in Botanical Art?
I always loved plants and animals. I became very interested in plants when I was growing natural dyes for spinning and weaving. I started more and more being concerned about growing native plants and sustainable gardening in the past 20 years. I joined the ASBA and GNSI in the early 90's. Working at NYBG certainly had a great impact on my life as did travelling to Costa Rica for the past 23 years. Exotic shapes and bold colors in both insects and plants are hard for me to pass up. For me, it is all about color, texture and patterns in both my hand weaving and my painting.3) Tell us a bit about your art training, your education and courses?
I have a BFA, MFA from Kean University and Botanical illustration certificate from NYBG. I have taken classes with Jenny Philips, Margaret Saul, John Cody, Susan Fisher, Trudy Nicolson, and Billy Showell. I work in graphite, gouache, watercolor, pen & ink, scratchboard, colored pencil and pastel. I teach all of these mediums. I worked for a toy company doing animal drawings in pen & ink for 2 years. I have also done spot illustrations for magazines and journals over the years.4) What's the most valuable lesson you ever learned about drawing or painting?
In 2000 I was certified as an instructor by Dr Betty Edwards for "Drawing no the Right Side of the Brain". I learned that drawing was a skill, not a talent. Once the skill is learned it can be applied to any subject matter. I never realized this and thought that you needed a good amount of talent to pursue an art career. I learned that just like reading, driving and any other thing in life that if I was taught properly I could learn it. Talent comes into play after the skill is learned. It is the life experience, genetic disposition and environmental exposure that make up talent. Betty freed me from misconceptions about drawing. It was as if I saw the world with different eyes and there were no longer limitations. I always remember this for myself and teach it to my students.
5) If you could choose a current botanical artist to watch over his/her shoulder when he/she is working.... who would you pick? Why you would choose this artist?
My first response would have to be Jenny Phillips. I have watched her paint a few times and have learned so much. She is wonderful at demos and makes everything clear. An artist whose work I greatly admire is another Aussie, Susannah Blaxill. I paint boldly and so does she,but her eye for detail is amazing. I received the silver medal from the RHS and they commented that I could use more detail in my work. Most of the paintings were delicate and subtle. Mine are not. I like my style and wasn't sure I could obtain the level of detail in my work until I saw Blaxills work. I would love to see her paint.6) Everybody learns all the time but is there something you would love to learn in botanical art more than anything else?
I might possibly like to learn oils. I love to take classes and I have taken so many that it is hard to say. I love to travel and find that I learn so much from going to places I have never been before. Oils are really the only medium I have never really learned that I haven't had an opportunity to study. I am currently studying intaglio printmaking and I love it. I want to keep going.7) Is there any subject or element within painting or drawing that you have difficulties with? Do you avoid these troubles or do you take a deep breath and go for it?
I us to be awkward with foreshortening in drawing. I used to turn the plant or alter the view just to avoid it. Now I realized that this is not a good idea and that I things I were the most difficult was exactly where I needed to focus. I now purposely do things that are difficult for me. I also struggle with backgrounds and tackle them in my non-botanical work. I am still struggling. I love how John Cody combines his realism with his crazy abstract backgrounds. For me they are the very best. They are a challenge and fun to do but I am still working on it.8) What is your best trick for fixing mistakes?
I love Mr Cleans magic eraser sponge to fix painting errors. I have 10 cats and they like to walk through my palette and onto the paper. I try to remember to cover the palette and painting when I leave the studio but one of them gets me every time. Mr Cleans magic eraser works miracles. There is some talk about them ruining the paper, but I have never had a problem with it. It is easy to use and corrects mistakes as well as cat tracks even with staining pigments.9) Beginners are often very frightened of perspective. How did you learn to see and tackle perspective/foreshortening?
I learned perspective by learning the conventional way with 1, 2, & 3 point perspective, a pencil and a ruler. I hated it! I then learned to use plexi-glas as a picture plane to see foreshortening This was taught to me by Betty Edwards. I still use plexi-glas if I am having trouble "seeing" something. I isolate it and trace it on the plexi-glas and then look at it again. The isolation really helps to see the foreshortening and get it onto the paper properly. I also learned to measure and that helps too although I don't like to measure.10) Do you work with different mediums, and, is there one you prefer more than the others?
I work in lots of mediums. Since I learned watercolor about 10 years ago I paint mostly in watercolor. I combine watercolor and gouache when I have something furry, feathery or hairy to paint. Gouache is my medium of choice for animals and birds. I love colored pencil during football season! I can easily watch the games with my husband and keep on working. It is easy to do anywhere. Scratchboard is my preference when I have black & white commercial jobs. It is easily correctable and I like working positive to negative and back again. It is richer than just straight pen and ink. For my books I work in wc, gouache, colored pencil and pastel. PanPastels are my new favorite medium. I have always loved pastels but didn't like the fact that they were so dusty. They seemed too dangerous to work in. The PanPastels have minimal dust and they are vibrant and work great over gouache and watercolor.

11) What are your favourite paints, brushes, paper or any other materials and tools? Why do you prefer these?
Fabriano Soft and Hot Press Watercolor paper 140lb and 300lb. These are my favorite papers to work on. They take a beating and have made painting so much easier than the other brands. I hate Arches. I know most people use it but I struggle so much with it I almost gave up painting! Once I switched to Fabriano it was so much better.12) Every plant has a different kind of green and artists need to be careful not to use the same green every time. Most botanical artists however have a green mix they love more than others. What is your favourite green mix?
Daniel Smith watercolor paints are my favorite. I really love the granulating pigments as they lend themselves to my wet bold painting technique.
I use Turner gouache. It is far superior to Winsor&Newton. I have used a few others like MGraham, but i like Turner the best. It reconstitutes very well and is very cost efficient.
I use CHEAP brushes! I have tried expensive sable brushes and they are too mushy for me. I like Loew Cornell brushes and Robert Simmons White Sable. I also like the short round type brushes that are called detail brushes. Since I love to draw with the brush I like a stiffer point.
I love my kneaded eraser! It is one tool I couldn't live without. I use it all the time for graphite and it helps to get a wonderful range of tones. I also like an electric eraser by Sakura. It is expensive but it works great on all kinds of paper. The cheaper brands are not worth a penny. The rotation is too slow.
I LOVE MY iPAD!!!! I have given up getting pictures developed. I work from my digital pics to see details. I prefer it to my microscope. I take macro pics and then can enlarge them on the iPad. One of my goals was to go as paperless as possible and the iPad is just the most awesome thing I have encountered.
I mix Hansa Yellow Light with Ultramarine Blue and a tint of Cerulean Blue for my basic greens.13) What 6 colours would you choose for a basic botanical art palette?
I use Perylene Green with this mixture to make dark deep greens. These are all Daniel Smith paints.
Ultramarine Blue, Cerulean Blue, Hansa Yellow Light, Permanent Yellow Deep, Quinacridone Magenta, Carmine Red14) Your workspace or studio... what does it look like?
Daniel Smith
I just moved from a huge studio where I gave classes to my new studio. the new house had 3 bedrooms on the second floor and we tore down 2 of them to make one big room for my studio and a guest bedroom. There is a full bath joining the 2 rooms. I use the bathroom for printmaking. This is where I keep my acid solutions etc. I changed out the sink to a stainless steel sink that is very deep to avoid splashing. I have 2 flatfiles and a computer area. The floors are hardwood and there is plenty of natural light. I am working on a folding table because I sold my drafting table when I moved. I have a big closet for supplies and book shelves everywhere. I will probably buy a permanent table soon but haven't found anything I really like so for now it works.15) Do you have a favourite book about botanical art?
I really love Billy Showells books. I have all of them and I think she has a fresh and wonderful approach to botanical art. If I could only have one book I would choose Plant Terminology by James Harris and Melinda Woolf Harris. The reason is this: I am awful with plant morphology and it is the BEST book I have found that not only defines the parts in wonderful written form, but there is a picture for each plant part. I am more a visual learner and have no memory for technical terms! It is the best cheat sheet out there.

Gouache and Graphite
16) How would you describe your own style? What makes it differ from that of other artists?
My work is bold and bright. I have an over the top sense of color at times. The Royal Horticultural Society said that my work had "Great Wall Appeal". I agree with them. It jumps off the wall from a distance. Most botanical artists have a quiet way about their work, more intimate. You have to get up close to appreciate the detail and delicate strokes. I also think that I have so much fun with what I am doing that it shows through. I love to laugh and enjoy things and I think that people can see it when they view my work.17) Do you have any favourite subjects or a plant you love to paint more than any other?
I love to paint orchids and anything that is exotic and flashy. And of course I love to paint INSECTS!!! I am not great with small flowers or weeds.18) Do you have a favourite location to study and paint the local flora?
Hands down- COSTA RICA! I have been travelling there for 23 years and I always discover something fantastic. I started leading tours there so that I could continue to paint. I am never without too many things to paint. I adore it there. Now that I have moved to Florida there are the some of the same subjects here, but Costa Rica still holds for me the best place on earth.19) What is your favourite painting or drawing made by yourself?
I really love my profile picture. It is a red-eyed tree frog and is part of painting I did over 10 years ago. For some reason it holds up for me. I sold it years ago and I scanned it. Just this last week I got new business cards done and decided to use it. This painting was done in gouache before I knew how to paint in watercolor. Here is the entire painting.
My favorite botanical is the one of the Passiflora and Julia Butterfly. I did this after I saw Susannah Blaxill's work and decided that I should try to get to the next level if I could. It slowed me down and I think that I am getting better and being more careful.
|Julia Butterfly- Lifecycle

20) What is your favourite painting or drawing by someone else?
Anything by John Cody. I have several of his prints and I adore his work. I also love the radish that is in Shirley Sherwood's book by Susannah Blaxill. It is soooooo amazing! I got to see it in person at the Shirley Sherwood gallery at Kew.21) It's always interesting to know which old master inspires you, do you have a particular favourite?
I love Henri Rousseau. I love the mystery in his paintings. I read that he had never been to the tropics, but only visited botanical gardens. His work is not realistic but it is mystical. As for traditional botanical artists I admire the freshness of Redoute. His work reads contemporary to me. So many of the other painters had an old appearance. His work looks like it was painted yesterday with the exception of the fugitive pigments.22) Is there a current botanical artist that you admire?
Jenny Phillips, Susannah Blaxill. I recently have grown to love Luca Massenzio Palermo's work. I have been seeing his work on the Botanical Art Forum and it is breathtaking.23) What are you working on now? Or is it a secret?
I am currently in a bit of limbo. Having just moved I am still learning about my surroundings and getting my studio set up. I am teaching a pastel class with watercolor, gouache and silverpointe in November and I think I will start playing around with this. I have also started a series of paintings from my local HomeDepot. The major growers of tropicals are here in my area and they are CHEAP! I have been buying plants like they are going out of style. Can't get enough!!!!
24) What subject is on top of your wish list? The dream-project....
I have a cat in the garden book I am dying to do. It combines everything I love. I just have to get my act together and go for it!25) Any final words?
I am open for questions. I love to share and do not feel that I need to hold what I know close to me. I love to learn from others and I have learned so much from teaching. Beginners ask questions that I take for granted and ask questions I never thought of. I have heard that my passion for what I do is contagious, I hope so.Mindy Lighthipe on Internet:

While The University of North Carolina at Pembroke is expanding its distance education programs, a new generation of librarians is being installed to better serve all students, near and far.
Michael C. Alewine has accepted the newly created job of Outreach/Distance Education Librarian at the Sampson-Livermore Library. Alewine said he does the same things all librarians do, but his customer base may never set foot in the building.
"Whatever our students need for their assignments, papers and projects, I am going to make sure that they get it," Alewine said.
His customers may be in Richmond County taking online classes after work or on the other side of the globe, seeking a Master's of Public Administration degree, which is now offered completely online and in special exchange programs at several Chinese universities.
Alewine will provide both online and in-person services to the students at UNCP's distance education program sites, including Richmond Community College, Sandhills Community College, Fayetteville Technical Community College, and to students enrolled in online courses.
"I will be going out to the colleges involved in our distance education programs and letting students know that they have access to the same high quality library services as students on campus," Alewine said.
Alewine will also help faculty with designing research assignments that are effective and viable, especially when considering time constraints and access to resources.
University Librarian Dr. Elinor Foster said Alewine's position reflects the changing nature of libraries.
"The number of UNC Pembroke's distance education students is growing, and we felt it was time to hire someone qualified to work with those students who are not on campus," Dr. Foster said. "Mr. Alewine has experience and interest in working with distance education students so he will do an excellent job serving students."
Students taking online courses, no matter where they live, will receive help with their course research, including reference assistance, document delivery, and these students can also contact Alewine, and he will guide them to the nearest academic library if they need access to additional resources.
"If I can make students in distance education feel as good as students on campus about research resources and services being provided to them, then I feel like I'm accomplishing what I'm supposed to be doing," Alewine said.
Alewine has a B.A. in English from UNC Wilmington and a Master's of Library Science from N.C. Central. He comes to UNCP from North Carolina Wesleyan College, where he was the reference and electronic resources librarian.
"Wesleyan's library was small with only six staff, so I had many responsibilities including reference, instruction and I was the library's webmaster," Alewine said. "I particularly enjoyed working with the distance education students and providing them with library and research services."
At UNCP, Alewine will be able to focus on online services. He is also a self-taught web page designer.
"I want to use the library's web pages to make the library more accessible to students, and to faculty also," he said. "I will work with faculty to help them design better research assignment and to make sure students know where to find sources."
Libraries have been transformed during the information age with on-line references and catalogs, and universities migration to online courses.
"The library is committed to making sure all of our students, no matter where they are, get the most out of the technology and resources that are available to them," Alewine said. "Sampson-Livermore Library is constantly adding electronic databases and we offer a virtual reference desk where students can get help from the reference desk through email. I hope one day we can include a live chat room as part of our reference services.
Sheri Sides is a senior Mass Communications major from Laurinburg.

Day 8-9 of the Style Cure calls for decisions on paint and and a decor pairing, and Day 10 calls for decision on budget. This one was easy, $0!! Though I would love to go spend $$$ on some new items, I have plenty of things on hand that I want to put to use. I am a huge fan of "making it work" as Tim Gunn would say, and I love taking found or existing items I have on hand and making them work in a different way in a room.
Since I am doing the Style Cure on a $0 budget, so any paint will have to come from my current inventory. I cannot do any painting of walls since I am renting, but I am happy with the ivory walls/white trim in the room. I want it to feel light with color accents throughout. I have a light green desk with antique gold handles, which I have always loved the color of and I would not want to paint it anyway. I have thought long and hard about it, but it is just one of those things I think would be ruined if I tried to paint. I also have a purple velour headboard and matching cushion which my mom and I made a few years ago. These are also staying. They are so comfortable, functional and cute! I don't want to get stuck in the green and purple look though. These are just a few accent pieces. I want the overall feel to be light and airy and not rely heavily on color. Projects that I want to complete:
- Painting my divider screen white with gold accents, I will be keeping the white sheer fabric. (I actually completed this today!! I love it and can't wait to see it with the rest of the room completed!)
- Hanging curtains. I am leaning towards some black sheers that I have. A lot of my inspiration photos showed white, but I don't have any white fabric on hand. I also think the black will look nice on the painted brass curtain rod & rings that I have.
- Hang photos of family & friends/make wall art/gallery wall. I have been in my apartment for almost a year and still have no pictures up! This is the perfect space to do so and I have a great mix of frames I have collected from various stores and thrift shops.
- Paint and hang red shelves. I bought these at a thrift shop probably 5 years ago and STILL have yet to do anything with them! I am thinking something like this…
- Make a gold polka dot vase. Saw this on Pinterest and I want! I also want to incorporate this vignette into this room, and I think the polka dot vase will coordinate nicely with it.
- Choose accent pillows. I've had a few bouncing back and forth from bedroom to living room, and would like to have some "set" ones, because I love coming home at the end of the day to a nicely made bed 🙂
- Create a workable office "nook".
- Come up with different floor plan.
Lots to accomplish, but I am confident I will make it happen! Meanwhile the rest of my apartment is in a little dis-array as I have been moving furniture and accessories in and out, but it will be worth it once the room is completed 🙂 Here are some lovely inspiration photos I have collected, and view my full Style Cure Pinterest Board.
Almost there! Thanks for following!

SHOWCASE: Tyranid Carnifexes
A quick showcase of the carnifexes I completed in May.
I finished the carnifex brood kit earlier this spring, and finally got around to shooting a showcase for the models. While the kit was a bit of a mess technically, I'm still happy with the way they turned out.

The optimism of delegates at the politically successful communist Party congress here is receding rapidly as the stark realities of Polish life come crowding in on an economically pressed leadership.
Such essential basic items as soap, toothpaste, stockings, and matches are missing from store shelves.
All but the lowest paid workers and pensioners have money to spend. But there is nothing to buy.
From the factories come fewer refrigerators, washing machines, and television sets.
But the most urgent need is food. The situation has been serious for some time. In the past month shortages have become even more acute.
No single fact, however, illustrates the severity of the country's economic troubles as much as the decline in coal production. Output of coal, one of Poland's two major hard currency earners, was down almost 22 percent in the first half of the year compared with the same period in 1980.
Polish Premier Wojciench Jaruzelski drove the hard economic facts home at the congress here when he said the price of food, coal, natural gas, and housing would have to be increased 110 percent. HE also said wage increases would have to end. The prime minister indicated that only "superhuman force" and "profound economic reform" could correct Poland's chronic economic problems.
The critical question facing the leadership is whether the country will respond.
The government faces new tensions that range from demands for hefty bonuses in the ports to the threat of "hunger marches" in several industrial cities.
The latter seem justified enough if -- as just reported from Lodz -- people are standing in line for 24 hours in hopes of finding meat.
Any day could bring fresh clashes between government and unions. But the regime cannot meet many of the demands now being made on it. General Jaruzelski has not only called for a halt to wage increases, but has also elaborated on the law-and-order theme stressed by other leaders. The government, he said, would exercise all its constitutional means under law to save the country from economic disaster. There were "certain limits which must not be passed."
He spoke of early action to raise food prices, thus to start phasing out subsidies that are swallowing nearly one-third of the nation's budget.
Most Poles realize that action like this, however painful, has finally become unavoidable.
There are other areas of potential conflict:
* The government has no alternative but to persuade the unions to accept some adjustment of the "free Saturdays" instituted earlier in the year, through some rotating overtime scheme that will keep vital production going on weekends.
one problem here is Solidarity's exaggerated ideas of egalitarianism and militant opposition to even voluntary overtime (albeit it with overtime rates and other incentives).
"The miners certainly deserve a five- day week," says party chief Stanislaw Kania, "but we cannot apply it to the mine." There is wide public agreement with his argument. Many miners obviously are willing.
* The government is pledged to self- management in the factories. But Solidarity's demands (as in the current case of the state airline) that workers be allowed to choose their managers themselves. It wants recognition that they specifically are the ownersm of their respective enterprises.
For the regime, the factories are socially owned and the union demand is a challenge to one of the nonnegotiable elements in the "socialist state."
* Only in agriculture has the government yet formulated precise plans for economic reform.
The party program now admits that the private farmer is the "core" of agriculture. Besides increased investment, considerable industrial capacity is being switched over to producing machinery and fertilizer for the private farmer.
In other areas of economic reform what seems to hold the government back is fear of the unmentionable -- unemployment. Economists estimate that as many as a million people could be unemployed over the next few years.
Increasingly, it seems inevitable that more foreign aid is crucial.
But the Russians -- like the Western creditors to whom $27 billion are owed and repayment overdue -- are chary, as the recent COMECON meeting showed, of providing more until a clear-cut, comprehensive plan for recovery is forthcoming.

Formed in Knoxville in 1999, this band has trucked with bands like Korn and Deftones, but doesn't adhere to the sonic violence and mosh pit mayhem quite as much. 10 Years opts more for a thick, minor-keyed guitar churn that supports a lyrical agenda centered around global concern and human rights. Just a few clicks shy of being a hardcore band, but you'll still feel it in your guts.

The brand-new Nintendo DSi is now on sale in the UK. The new bigger-screened, download store-equipped version of the fastest-selling games system of all time is on sale for around £149.
After our super-early initial hands-on photo story with the system, Rory painted it with a respectable 8.3 out of 10 in our frankly brilliant review. He felt, however, that it was "a slight improvement on the DS Lite, but the new features don't warrant an upgrade at this point."
New features include two cameras, larger displays, an SD card for playing back AAC music files (MP3 is not supported, but iTunes Plus downloads are), and an integrated store for downloading content to the system.

"Rising IT infrastructure and growing number of compliances are driving the managed services market."
The managed services market size is expected to grow from USD 152.45 billion in 2017 to USD 257.84 billion by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The rising complexity of IT operations has forced enterprises to optimize their current infrastructure with the help of managed services. Managed services allow firms to focus on their core business by managing their non-core activities. With increasing complexities of technology solutions, most of the companies are looking for better solutions to automate or outsource the non-core parameters of a product life cycle. Managed service providers empower enterprises by managing their infrastructure effectively to improve efficiency and productivity. To manage the growing number of compliances, companies are partnering with the relevant managed service providers to remove regulatory compliance overheads. The managed service providers implement dynamic monitoring and reporting tools that reduce risks and prepare organizations for compliance audits and assessments.
Enterprises across the globe are facing challenges to effectively manage the exponentially increasing data volume. The increasing data volume has facilitated the growth of data centers across the world. This has further encouraged enterprises to adopt managed services to effectively manage their data center operations; further accounting managed data center services for the largest market share in the market. The managed data center services offered by managed service providers comprises services for server management and data storage and backup. Managed data center service providers take responsibility to proactively manage on-premise or cloud data center infrastructures.
The cloud-based technology is the fastest-growing deployment type in the managed services market and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period from 2017 to 2022. IT budget constraints for installation and implementation of required hardware and software, limited IT support to manage and support managed services, and need for greater scalability are major factors that are likely to drive the adoption of cloud managed services in the coming years. The cloud-based deployment model offers higher agility than the on-premises deployment model.
The APAC region is expected to experience extensive growth opportunities in the next few years in the area of managed services, following which, the region is expected to grow at the highest growth rate. Increased adoption of IT infrastructure by the enterprises in the developing countries is one of the driving factor facilitating the managed service market growth rate.

The team of Johnny Horan and Alastair Lindsey achieved the hugely impressive figures in a 1.3l petrol Mazda2 on a 106.2 Kilometre route between Kill in Co Kildare and Templeogue in Dublin. The route was designed to reflect real world driving conditions with a mixture motorway, urban and rural roads. The Mazda/Topaz Drive Safe, Drive Smart initiative is aimed at encouraging drivers to drive safely at moderate speeds and to adopt smarter driving techniques which make a dramatic impact on a vehicle's fuel economy. Seven teams competed against the eventual winners of Johnny and Alastair. The successful pair deployed 'Smart Driving' Techniques such as changing up early through the gears, keeping a smooth style of driving of easing into acceleration and looking ahead to avoid any sudden breaking. Achieving the phenomenal 82 mpg, a delighted Johnny Horan explained: "Thanks to the lightweight strategy used during this car's development, the Mazda2 is designed to deliver excellent fuel economy and reduced C02 emissions. We simply adopted the practical smart driving techniques to exploit the Mazda2's attributes as highly fuel efficient car. All motorists can lower their fuel bills and drive safer by adopting these common sense techniques." "The Drive Safe, Drive Smart initiative demonstrates running costs for the Mazda2 drivers are kept to a minimum", enthuses David McGonigle, MD Mazda Motor Ireland. "The excellent fuel economy and yearly road tax of €150 is a reflection of a new focus at Mazda on offering cars that have less impact on the environment." Top 'Smart' Tips for Increasing Fuel Economy • Change up early through the gears. Shift up between 1.700 and 2.000 revolutions (depending on vehicle)• Ensure you adopt a smooth style of driving - ease into acceleration• Avoid tailgating. Keep your distance between vehicles to ensure you brake smoothly• Reduce your speed, driving at 110 KPH uses 15% more fuel than at 80 KPH• Use Cruise Control for Motorway driving to maintain a constant speed, as it can prove 7% average fuel savings• If you have stopped for more than 40 seconds (e.g. level crossing), save fuel by switching off the engine• Use the Air Conditioning sparingly as it can reduce fuel consumption by as much as 20%• Check tire pressure regularly• Ensure your vehicle is serviced regularly

La Donation Haracourt / Île de Bréhat, Brittany, France
no residency for artists… but for students living at the Cité Universitaire in Paris
'Partir, c'est mourir un peu'
(Rondelet de l'Adieu, Edmond Haracourt)
Surrendered to the strong winds and the intense tidal, the natural stone house surely has seen better days from the inside, but this doesn't detract from its charms. Always in sight the lighthouse, a stroll of about half an hour away.
No cars are allowed on the isle, except
some farming vehicles, so everyone uses a bicycle. Biking at least to reach the only little supermarket during the two opening hours in the morning or those two in the afternoon as there , having to get off when passing through the central village. How wonderfully this slows you down and reactivates all senses. During long walks from the north island, over the little bridge connecting both island parts, down to the most southern point and the harbor welcoming the mainland ferry twice a day, I always had one song in mind: Henri Salvador's 'Chambre Avec Vue'. Listen, if you like.
That time I was living at the German house 'Maison Heinrich Heine' at the Cité Universitaire for two semesters, also assisting with their events as 'tutrice culturelle'.
I remember well that after the residency at the Fondation Haracourt I wanted to travel on to Avignon to attend the biggest theatre festival in Europe. But it was exactly the season when there was a big strike and all official performances were cancelled. What a pity… for the performers as well as for the audience.
See all info regarding this residency and the former house of Edmond Haracourt on the homepage of the Cité Universitaire, Paris XVI (in Frensh only).

Let's Continue to Celebrate ColumbusPosted: October 17, 2017 Filed under: Civil Rights, Slavery | Tags: Catholic, Christian, Christopher Columbus, Columbus Day, Indigenous Peoples' Day 1 Comment
Let's Continue to Celebrate Columbus
by JBS President Emeritus John F. McManus
More than 50 of our nation's local governments cancelled Columbus Day celebrations. This is obviously part of the ongoing war against our nation's culture, an insult directed at the memory of Christopher Columbus that strongly indicates which side is winning this war. It isn't the side that brought Christian values and practices to the Western Hemisphere.
In place of celebrating – or at least acknowledging Columbus and his contribution to the Americas – the cultural iconoclasts have convinced some authorities to celebrate "Indigenous Peoples' Day." Therefore, we should take a hard look at what Columbus and his men found when they landed in the new world. The courageous Italian sailor and navigator never set foot on what became the United States. In each of his four voyages to the West, he landed in areas south of what became our nation, mostly in what is now known as the West Indies.
Throughout the area populated by the "indigenous people" in the late 15th century could be found headhunting, torture, cannibalism, human sacrifice to false gods, barbarous treatment accorded to war prisoners, mutilation of fellow man, sacrificing infants, and more. Is all or even some of this what today's culture warriors seek to celebrate?
Columbus wasn't a perfect individual and he never claimed perfection for himself. One of his goals in making four dangerous voyages across the Atlantic sought to bring Christian civilization to whomever he encountered. He succeeded in that pursuit though only partially. Other like-minded explorers, emboldened by his findings, piled up numerous successes as they spread Christianity throughout the West. Yes, there were instances of criminal activity perpetrated on natives, but these were not the norm. Further, some common practices in the Columbian era such as slavery were practiced by Columbus.
Today, there is the state capital of Columbus, Ohio. The state of Georgia has a city named after Columbus. South Carolina's capital Columbia is named after the Genoese sailor. There is a Columbia University in New York City. And there are numerous other places and institutions whose names can be traced to the man whose voyages proved there was a whole new world west of Europe. Do the culture warriors intend to change or remove them?
Columbus persuaded Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain to finance his voyages. It was they who encouraged him to spread Catholicism in the lands he discovered. Being militant Catholics, Isabella and Ferdinand would never tolerate the practices commonly found among the indigenous peoples encountered by Columbus. That the two Spanish leaders would provide the ambitious navigator with funding for his several voyages meant that they found him to be neither a scoundrel nor a hopeless dreamer.
It was never a mistake for our country to honor Columbus. Tearing into his name and reputation causes this writer to ask what will come next. What Columbus and successor explorers generally found was customarily condemnable. It deserved to be replaced. Darkness began to give way to light. Reverting back to the darkness practiced by many of the indigenous peoples would certainly be a terrible mistake. Americans of today should keep such a travesty from occurring, or even from being celebrated.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (C)
Gene expression of the neurotrophic factors and their receptors and related molecules was analyzed in the human, rat and mouse peripheral nervous system, particularly in the process of the peripheral nerve degeneration and regeneration. The molecules analyzed in this study included NGF, BDNF, LNGFR, trk,trkB, laminin A, B_1, B_2 chains and collagen type I, III, IV. Expression levels of mRNA for these molecules in the tissues were determined by Northern blot analysis. The findings obtained are as follows :NGF, BDNF, LNGFR, laminin B_1, B_2, collagen type I, III, IV were synthesized in cultured Schwann cells inculture, and their mRNA levels were up- or down-regulated by exogenously administered cAMP analogues or by the contact with sensory neurons.Human DRG neurons and sympathetic neurons express LNGFR, trk, trkBmRNAs, and which were likely down-regulated in the cases with neuropathy particularly in axonal type.LNGFR were up- regulated and laminin B_1, B_2 were down-reglated in the axonal nerve lesions of humans as well as mouse and rats, but which were reversely reglated in associated with nerve regenerationNeurite arborization (sprouting) was significantly enhanced by NGF on the post-matured DRG neurons, and this ability was well retained in the aging process, which may have corresponded to the well preserved functional NGF receptor (trk) expression on the aged these neurous. Those finding confirmed that these neurotrophic molecules and their receptors are up-or down-regulated in association with peripheral nerve de-and regeneration suggesting their significant roles in the neuropathies. Further study on the signal mechanism for these gene expressions is now required.

KENSINGTON (WPVI) --Kids are out for the summer, but there's a group in the Kensington section of Philadelphia that says their streets are hardly safe for the little ones to play.
To prove that point, they delivered hundreds of needles in glass jars to officials at City Hall.
The campaign is called "Need A Little Help."
The group behind it includes families, clergy members, neighbors and people recovering from drug addiction.
They say Kensington is bearing the brunt of our city's opioid epidemic and something needs to be done. The kids joined in to voice that concern as well.
"When I am outside trying to play with my friends, I see needles all around and I don't like needles when I am around friends," said Tymeka Perkins.
"We need help to do something about this the kids in our zip code are as valuable as the kids in any zip code," said Shane Claiborne, Community Organizer.
They also put the faces of neighborhood kids on those jars to drive home the impact on our kids.
City officials also joined in the conversation today, saying they will work together with the community on the urgency of this situation.

This is my second shopmade marking knife. The first one http://lumberjocks.com/projects/82354 works great except when you need to park in a small space (i.e. marking dovetails etc..) and I have been putting off making a new one for some time now.
Well, this morning the blade separated it's self from the handle and that was the push I needed to get on with making that new knife I needed.
The blade was cut with a hacksaw from a block plane blade that was beyond useful for a black plane but works for other blades.
Bevel was made freehand (no clue what angle it is) on my new DMT's.
Handle is walnut shaped with a spokeshave, rasps and sandpaper. Finished up with a brass tube.
Finish is 3.2.1 and paste wax.
Thanks for looking!

New Blackburn Rovers first team coach Archie Knox says he'll be available to Paul Ince for any advice the rookie manager needs.
"He'll make mistakes like everyone else. I still make mistakes even at my age!
"But so far he's coped with that side of management very well. This is a bigger task, of course, but he's ready for it and he's really confident about it.
"He's got a terrific way with the players - I can see that already - so I'm sure he'll do really well, and we will try to help him in every way we possibly can.
"Mark Hughes did an excellent job during his time at the club and he's left some big shoes to fill.
"But Paul Ince is a lad with a big reputation as well, and I think he can fulfil everyone's expectations here."

Shari from My Charmed Life emailed me a while ago and introduced me to their unique products. As you all know, I'm a knock-out fan for charmbracelets, so browsing through the site was such a pleasure for me. What I like about My Charmed Life is that they offer you a huge selection of charms. You can basically get all themes from fashion, to beads to animals. Made of high quality sterling silver, these charms will definitely bring more meaning.
The charm itself starts at the price as low as US$12 which I think is not bad at all considering the meticulous design and high quality material they use.
Besides charms, they also have pins, keyrings and of course, the bracelet. So, everything about charm or the world revolving around them can be found here.
And here's the best part; you will also find My Charmed Life diary, where you can catalogue your charms and write your precious memories. Their latest item includes Luggage Charm that works well as your tag. With colorful and beautiful prints plus pretty ribbons, you are free to choose your initial.
Shari was very kind to send me the diary and tag and I love showing them off to my friends =)
Thank you My Charmed Life and I hope you all enjoy their stuff as much as I do!

Buzz Bits: Dow and Nasdaq End Higher
Your daily Buzz & Banter highlights...
Spin Cycle, USA - Todd Harrison - 3:14 PM
Alrightee then, as I break from one meeting, prep for another and eyeball a nutty post-bell strut, I'm trying against trying to focus on the tape. Thing is, ever since T-Woo blasted Mandy, I haven't been able to get her out of my head.
Gimme bamboo under my fingernails, water-board torture, death by Shmoopie... anything except Barry Manilow! Some deep breath vibes:
- As if there was any doubt, the Fed is officially all over the place. The statement that they see growth "accelerating somewhat" in 2009 and 2010 is, well, misplaced. They didn't see the subprime contagion while it was staring them in the face and to this day, resist the notion of recession. How the heck are we supposed to trust 'em out a few years?
- I just said to Pep "I've got a funky feeling in my stomach about this tape. Either that or I ate a bad anchovy." I'm not sure what it means but I thought I would share. Between that and my inability to sleep last night (up at 2, 3, 4, and 5 for good...), something feels like it's coming down the pipe.
- Not that I'm huge here, triceps aside. I've got a few 'situations' on the long side and I nibbled on a handful of financial puts against them. If the last few weeks have demonstrated anything it's that patience and pure eyes allow for some strong jabs and safe sleeps.
- Bada Bing, Bada Boom. Crude $100. Gold $1000. What does it say that equities aren't lifting in kind? Perhaps a decoupling of a different sort? Not sure, but I know this--it's getting interesting and interestinger.
- Oh my, time for my 3pm. Fare ye well into the dwell and hit 'em where they ain't.
Anatomy of a Good Chart - Cody Tafel - 2:41 PM
For those of you who have followed me, you know I have been bullish on the Japanese yen for a while. I think this would be a good time to look at what is starting to be a great chart, and also a good near term buying opportunity.
First, take notice of the clear "lower left to upper right" trend that has emerged since the beginning of the credit crisis last summer. We are seeing higher highs and higher lows forming a solid uptrend. Trendline support comes in around the 0.90 level, which happens to coincide with the high of last August (0.8965, to be exact).
Second, notice how the pullback in December of 2007 found support in the 0.88-0.90 range which validates this level as good support. From the December lows near 0.88 the Yen has rocketed higher before finding resistance at the 0.95 level.
Finally, check out the nice bullish pennant we have forming back into the 50 day moving average and previous November highs which should offer solid support near the 0.92 level. If we do start to hold in here at these levels the pennant continuation pattern would project to 1.00 for the Japanese Yen Futures. Breaking 0.92 could lead to a test of the trendline near 0.90, but all of that weakness would still be in the context of a larger uptrend. Keep a close eye on the Yen as it has proved to be a great hedge for a continuing credit crisis, which should prove to be one of the major themes for 2008.

Dazed and Confused - Jeff Macke - 1:05 PM
Hello from New York where I'm going Einstein-Looney trying to develop a unifying theory between the bankruptcies, beats and misses and what they all mean to the consumer. What do I mean? This:
- Sharper Image (SHRP) goes Chapter 11, marking a mercy-killing for Harry and Sally's favorite retailer. As I've long said, the chain should simply become a spa and charge customers rental fees for sitting in the massage chairs. On the other hand...
- Jack In the Box (JBX) is popping higher like some... um... imaginary toy of some sort that pops up in a surprising manner at unexpected moments. There's a razor thin line between casual dining (dead stocks) and fast food (not terrible).
- Nutrisystems (NTRI) continues to gap down in fitful spasms as the mail-order food fad goes the way of no-carbs, and nothing-but-shakes. As it turns out "not eating" is a cheaper diet plan. But that doesn't explain...
- Hormel (HRL) which is defying slow-down logic by doing well selling spam and stew.
- Garmin (GRM) gapping lower on the realization that we all know where we are (here) and where we're going (into a recession).
I'm baffled, Minyans, but at least I have flat-rate cell phone billing on the horizon (an inevitability currently crushing the stocks of Verizon (VZ), AT&T (T) and anyone else who sells cell dialtones).
Tradable Low in Place for Financials - Michael Paulenoff - 12:04 PM
Judging by the improving technical condition of some of the members of the Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF), such as Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), AIG (AIG), Goldman Sachs (GS), and Morgan Stanley (MS), perhaps this morning's low at 26.20 will suffice as the third such low of a near-term triple bottom completion of the pullback off of the Feb 1 high at 30.00?
If that proves to be accurate, then confirmation that a significant corrective low has been established will come only upon a hurdle of the key Feb down trendline resistance now at 27.00. Until then, I only have indications that a tradable low is in place.

Sid Blumenthal, a former journalist, and now a close adviser to Hillary Clinton and the man whose email account led hacker Guccifer into Hillary's private email server, has spent much of the past 35 years acting as a political hit man for Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Even when he was banned from working at the State Department by President Obama, Blumenthal did his best to advise Hillary about Libya where he had financial interests and to send the Secretary of State the latest musings about Israel from his anti-Semitic son Max.
On Wednesday morning Blumenthal was interviewed on CNN's New Day and gave the impression he had inside knowledge about the FBI's investigation into the former secretary of state's private email server:
take our poll - story continues belowCompleting this poll grants you access to The Constitution updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to this site's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Trending: Science is Settled
CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day" told Blumenthal that many Democrats she has talked to fear there is "bombshell" in the wings that could wreck Clinton's campaign.
"I'm very confident that that will not happen," Blumenthal said. "My understanding is that this is a security review. It's certainly not a criminal investigation. It's an inquiry into whether anyone intentionally put classified information where it shouldn't be."
Blumenthal, who this week on MSNBC would not say if federal investigators have talked to him about the emails, said he believes that the Justice Department will soon release a statement saying that no intentional harm was done by Clinton's use of the private server during her tenure as secretary of state.
Examine his words "My Understanding…" For Blumenthal to have an "understanding," either someone is leaking information to him, the results were determined before the investigation ever started, or Blumenthal is lying.
Either way, perhaps the House Oversight Committee needs to look into it.

Chinese Documents Detail Crackdown on Religion
Seven top-secret Chinese documents detailing government plans to crack down on religion were smuggled out of China and published on Feb. 11. The government documents, issued between April 1999 and October 2001, detail the goals and actions of China's national, provincial and local security officials in repressing religion. According to an analysis of the documents by Freedom House, they provide irrefutable evidence that China's government, at the highest levels, aims to repress religious expression outside its control and is using more determined, systematic and harsher criminal penalties in this effort. Fourteen religious groups are listed as evil cults.
The documents are available online at: www.freedomhouse.org/religion. These documents provide irrefutable evidence that China remains determined to eradicate all religion it cannot control, using extreme tactics, said Nina Shea, of Freedom House. Normal religious activity is criminalized, she said. President Bush, who has repeatedly voiced concern for religious oppression in China, must speak out forcefully and publicly in support of religious freedom during his state visit to China next week (Feb. 24-22).
The documents express concern about public unrest over China's entry into the W.T.O. and tie this unrest to Western support of democracy movements, and religious groups. They accuse the Vatican of still waiting for any opportunity to...draw the patriotic religious believers up to them and incite them to rebel.
Measures to be taken against the banned religious groups include surveillance, the deployment of special undercover agents, the gathering of criminal evidence, complete demolition of a group's organizational system, interrogation and arrest, as well as the confiscation of church property. One document repeatedly refers to the use of secret agents to infiltrate cults, underground Catholics, businesses, joint ventures, people with complicated political backgrounds, prestigious colleges and universities and other organizations.
Catholic Charities USA Allocates $20 Million for Sept. 11 Efforts
Catholic Charities USA has allocated more than $20 million to 16 agencies that are responding to the immediate and long-term needs of families affected by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Some of the programs supported by the latest round of grants include: counseling for post-traumatic stress disorder; emergency financial assistance to help with rent or mortgages, utilities and medical bills; job placement for those who have lost their jobs as a result of the terrorist attacks; legal aid; and outreach to immigrant populations.
Renovated Milwaukee Cathedral Is Dedicated and Reopened
Presiding over what he called one of the church's biggest ceremonies, Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland, O.S.B., of Milwaukee dedicated the renovated Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist on Feb. 9. The congregation of 950 gave a standing ovation to the archbishop at the start of the two-and-a-half-hour liturgy. The only dissonant note came from a small group of local Catholics who had bitterly fought the $4.5 million renovation, even taking their case to the Vatican. About 20 of them demonstrated with protest signs outside the cathedral before and after the dedication.
Zimbabwe's Jesuits Offer Sanctuary From Violence
Jesuits working in Zimbabwe promised to turn their churches into safe havens to offer sanctuary to anyone trying to escape the mounting political violence in the country. They also approved a statement condemning the state-sponsored violence in the run-up to Zimbabwe's presidential elections in March, reported a London-based newspaper, The Catholic Herald. The statement attacks the government's political indoctrination and manipulation of Zimbabwe's youth and warns of civil war. In the March 9-10 election, Robert Mugabe, a Catholic who has ruled Zimbabwe since it won independence from Britain in 1980, is running for re-election.
Meanwhile, the Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference, at the request of Zimbabwe's bishops, is keeping silent amid calls for Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe to step aside in the March elections. The S.A.C.B.C., which includes bishops of Swaziland, Botswana and South Africa, will not comment on a situation in another country against the wishes of that country's bishops, said Auxiliary Bishop Reginald Cawcutt of Cape Town, conference spokesman.
Russian Orthodox Ask Vatican Official to Cancel Moscow Visit
Protesting the Vatican's establishment of four dioceses in Russia, the Russian Orthodox Church has asked the Vatican's top ecumenist to cancel his scheduled visit to Moscow. Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, was scheduled to travel to Moscow Feb. 21-22 for meetings with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexei II and other top officials. The Vatican defended the creation of the dioceses as a normal administrative act and answered Orthodox criticism in a bluntly worded statement, saying the church has the right to care for all its memberseven in mostly Orthodox countries.
President's Budget Includes Tuition Tax Credit Option
President Bush's 2003 budget proposes that parents with children in failing schools receive a refundable education tax credits to pay their child's tuition at a private school or for costs of transferring their child to a public school in another district. Under the proposal, $2,500 would be available for parents to use for either tuition or other educational costs such as tutoring, books, home computers and special-needs services. Because the tax credit would be refundable, low-income parents who do not pay taxes would still receive the full benefit.
The U.S. Department of Education estimates that about 4.5 million students are currently enrolled in schools that fail to meet state standards. If approved by Congress, parents whose children attend schools that are not making adequate yearly progress under the recently signed No Child Left Behind Act would be able to take a tax credit for expenses incurred during the 2002-03 school year. The Bush administration estimates the education tax credit will cost $3.5 billion over the next five years. Last year, Mr. Bush dropped vouchers from his education plan when it experienced strong opposition from public school teachers' unions and Democrats in Congress.
Indian Students Monitor Atrocities Against Women
A convention on violence against women that a Jesuit college in southern India organized has spurred students to set up a program to monitor atrocities against women. More than 180 students from 15 colleges in Bangalore city attended the convention organized by St. Joseph's Evening College in collaboration with the Women's Development Corporation of Karnataka state and some women's groups, reported UCA News. The meeting made us bolder in voicing our disgust against offenders even if they are our own family members or relatives, said a college student named Priya, a participant in the mid-January convention on Violence on Women.
Ambrose Pinto, S.J., said the gathering not only helped educate students about increasing incidents of violence against women, but also encouraged them to assume responsibility to work out preventive measures. After the convention, a core group set up a women-watch program that plans to monitor cases of violence against women in Bangalore.
Number of Seminarians Up 73 Percent Worldwide
The number of seminarians worldwide has grown 73 percent under Pope John Paul II's pontificate, the Vatican said. The number of seminarians increased from about 64,000 in 1978 to more than 110,500 in 2000. The greatest increase came in Africa, where the number of seminarians more than tripled; Asia followed with an increase of 125 percent; the Americas showed an increase of 65 percent; and Europe's increase was 12 percent. The Vatican said the global Catholic population grew in 2000 to 1.05 billion, equivalent to 17.3 percent of the world population. Almost half the Catholic population49.4 percentnow lives in the Americas, while 26.7 percent live in Europe, 12.4 percent in Africa, 10.7 percent in Asia and 0.8 percent in Oceania.
Ukrainian Bishops Say Church to Help Facilitate Free Elections
The Ukrainian Catholic bishops said the church would help create an atmosphere for honest elections in March. They also said Ukraine should follow democratic principles in building a new country. The church's goal, said the bishops, was to help facilitate the creation of an atmosphere under which the elections would serve the purpose of our own good, and at the same time be honest and clear. The bishops said Ukraine, which became an independent nation in 1991 after decades of Soviet rule, was only learning about democracy.
Bolivian Bishops Leave Talks with Government, Coca Farmers
The Bolivian bishops' conference has pulled out of a dialogue between the government and coca growers because of the farmers' unwillingness to compromise, said Archbishop Tito Solari of Cochabamba. The archbishop announced the decision after meeting with the farmers' lead negotiator, Evo Morales, a former congressman who demanded the government's commitment to stop coca eradication as a precondition to keep talking. Any preconditions to the dialogue must be respectful to the Bolivian law and the fight against drug trafficking, Archbishop Solari said.

"Iran nuke deal"
Why is that even a thing? How did we get to a place in this world where anyone could string together those three words with a straight face?
Iran Nuke Deal
Think about that. It is absolutely crazy! Iran supports terror. Ayatollah Khomeini shouts "death to America!" And, we are negotiating with him?
Is this an alternate universe? Is this bizarro world? There is no such thing as "negotiating with Iran." Likewise, there is no such thing as an Iran nuke deal in the real world.
Iran needs sanctions. Period. They need sanctions until they stop insisting that Israel be wiped off the map. They need sanctions until they stop harboring, aiding and abetting terrorists. They need sanctions until, oh, maybe they stop shouting "death to America!"
As this ridiculous "negotiation" has been going on, I have heard the president called a lot of things.
Here is one – he is an idiot.

How To Lower-Electric Bills
With the rising cost of home energy and our current economy, many of us are trying to find out how to lower our bills, especially lowering our electric bills.
There are many ways we can lower electric bills, these are simple, tried and trues ways that when you implement can lower your electric and heating bills.
Imagine how you would feel opening your new lower electric bill!!!
Turn Off The Lights
OK, so we all know this is a no brainer, right?
Then why do we leave the lights on when we leave a room. Probably the easiest of all and keeps you in the mindset of conserving energy. It's a flip of a switch and it's all in the wrist!
Use Energy Saving Light Bulbs
Use decreased wattage of bulbs and decrease the lights you use inside and outside your home. Use dimmers, if possible inside and motion sensors outside.
Use compact fluorescent bulbs as well to lower wattage. We use these bulbs in my home and the light that they give off is amazing and we are saving on our energy bill.
Unplug It!!!
Unplug appliances, lights and any electrical item you don't use consistently.
All those pretty blue and red lights that glow at night use electricity.
Phone chargers that are plugged in and are not in use STILL use electricity.
You can use a power strip and unplug the power strip at night. All your computer plugs that are plugged into a power strip still use electricity, unplug that power strip!
Unplug that coffee machine after morning coffee!
These are big hows in lowering electric bills.
Saving Energy With Your Dishwasher
When using your dishwasher, make sure you fill the dishwasher with a full load before running.
Use the energy saving or short cycle. By not using the heat dry you will also reduce electrical usage with your dishwasher.
If you only have a few dishes wash by hand and let those babies air dry.
Saving Energy With Your Washer
Make sure you are washing a full load. Use the Energy Saving setting or short cycle.
By using cold water you can save up to 8 cents on every load, and your clothes will still come out clean.
If you are in the market to buy a new washing machine, top loading machines may be the most popular model of washing machines because of their lower purchase cost, but they are not the most economical choice. Front loading washers may cost a bit more at the store, but they are more energy efficient since they have a larger capacity meaning fewer loads need to be done, less water is used so there is less water to heat, and the higher speed spin cycle removes more water from the clean clothes easing the dryer's work load.
Saving Energy With Your Dryer
When using your dryer, make sure you are drying a full load.
Use the dryer's moisture sensor. This detects when clothes in the dryer are dry and automatically shuts itself off. Not over-drying clothes can save tremendously. Another tip is to switch to the cool-down cycle halfway through the drying process. There is usually enough residual heat left in the dryer to finsh drying your clothes. If you hang up or fold clothes as soon as they are dry, your clothes will be wrinkle free and you won't have to iron your clothes.
You can even opt to line dry your clothes instead of using the dryer.
Lower The Thermostat
Use an electric thermostat and set it for evenings and days and adjust according to the season.
In the spring and fall, turn off the heat unless the temperature outside gets below freezing. Temperature variations near the thermostat will affect the whole house. Be sure your thermostat is located in an area that is not too cold or hot. Install an automatic timer to keep the thermostat at 68 degrees during the day and 55 degrees at night. If it seems chilly - put on a sweater. Wear warm layered clothing indoors during cold weather. Some of the new synthetics are the best for thermal layering.
Consider Solar Energy
Consider heating your home with the sun's help. Energy from solar panels or using solar heat to supplement your normal heating source is cost effective in most parts of the world. The initial cost may seem higher, but over the long run it costs the least and many energy hungry areas provide generous tax rebates for installing solar panels.

Anonymous Content vets Dave Morrison and director David Fincher only officially opened Reset in July, but the company very quickly asserted itself on the scene with a pair of high profile spots, Activision's "Call of Duty Black Ops II Surprise," out of 72andSunny and Halo 4 "Scanned" via Twofifteen McCann. The former was directed by Guy Ritchie and showcased the game's various new weapons at the hands celebrities like weapons vlogger FPS Russia and Robert Downey Jr., while the latter, exec produced by David Fincher and directed by Tim Miller, the director behind the sultry "Girl with a Dragon Tattoo" titles, uncovered the origins of Master Chief. There, we saw his emergence from the young boy John-117 to Spartan and then the superhuman warrior gamers know him to be.
The company has kept up the excitement going into 2013, with Guy Ritchie's H&M's cheeky actioner starring David Beckham, Fincher's "Suit and Tie" promo for Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z and Nabil's Bud Platinum spot that extends the JT cool.
The company is home to a solid lineup of other exciting talents, including Johnny Green, Pes, Johan Renck, Andre Stringer, Garth Davis, Vesa Manninen, Nabil, Andre Stringer and Markus Walter and Martin Werner, and also has a tie up with Academy and Iconoclast.

- Wedding: March 2015
I just can't stay motivated to lose weight. I'm the heaviest I've ever been and I'm only 25. I will be married next year and I hate the way my body looks, I can't imagine walking down the isle looking like this. I'm about 40lbs over weight. I get motivated for about a day, then lose it. I know what to do- I've read all there is to read about nutrition and fitness. I'm in grad school full time, work full time, broke, and I just can't keep motivated.
For all you amazing bees who have lost big, how do you keep going? What tricks do you use?
