Chichen Itza
Chichen Itza © David Stanley
The Mayan people are most well known for their advanced knowledge and brilliance regarding astrology, as well as for their incredible resilience. The stone remnants of their civilisation can be found spread throughout Mexico and Central America. Chichen Itza, with its famous pyramids and temples, is the Yucatan's most visited ancient Mayan site, set in the jungle and said to have been inhabited for more than 2,000 years. It was the centre of political, economic and military power, and controlled trade in the region.
The main attraction at Chichen Itza is the Pyramid of Kukulkan (the plumed serpent god), or El Castillo, a grand pyramid topped by a temple that dominates the site and has been declared one of the 7 New Wonders of the World. Each side has a stairway and the top affords excellent views over the area. Inside the pyramid is a smaller pyramid, the inner sanctum, containing one of the greatest finds on the site, the brilliant red jaguar throne with jade spots, inlaid eyes and real jaguar teeth. Unfortunately it is no longer permitted for visitors to climb to the top of the pyramid. During the spring and autumn equinoxes (21 March and 21 September) an exceptional spectacle occurs, lasting for a few hours, that leaves crowds open-mouthed with wonder as the rippling shadows form the illusion of a snake slithering down the staircase. The shadows seem attached to the great serpent's heads at the foot of the main stairway.
Another building of interest is El Caracol (The Giant Conch Snail), an observatory with slits in the dome aligned with certain astronomical appearances at specific dates. On the far side of the site, reached by a causeway, is the Sacred Cenote, a huge natural well into which human sacrifices and other offerings were thrown to please the gods. Many other temples, platforms and an impressive ball court, are components of the ancient city, a site of enormous proportions, featuring many columns and intricate carvings, statues and reliefs. Visitors should bring drinking water, sunscreen and comfortable walking shoes.
Transport: Bus services from Cancun or Playa del Carmen (2.5hrs by bus)
Opening times: Daily 8am to 4.30pm. Light and sound show begins 7pm (autumn and winter) and 8pm (spring and summer).
Admission: MXN 98, including show. Translation headphones are MXN 25 each.

Grad's 'Venue' Offers Creative Space for Local Artists
Orlando's art community is supported by a number of live performance facilities, and among the latest additions is The Venue, located in the growing Ivanhoe Village district. The space was founded by local entertainer Blue Starr, 2000 Recording Arts graduate, and is the culmination of her nearly 15 years in the Central Florida creative arts scene.
A classically-trained ballerina, Blue remained in Orlando after graduation and slowly grew her reputation in the community as a DJ, emcee, dancer, and performance artist. This has included a close association with annual Fringe Festival, over five years running the Peek-a-Boo Lounge revue, and her signature art piece, VarieTease – the success of which allowed her to create a private space to practice and perform.
"There comes a point in time where you know you can do something, and just need to do it, so I started diligently looking for a place," Blue says. "I always loved this building, I'd looked at it for 13 years, and one day I drove by and it had a for lease sign outside."
Blue along with close friends and colleagues would spend the next five months renovating The Venue themselves. A group of dancers and artists hanging drywall, laying concrete, and digging sidewalks? It was an obvious labor of love, and a sign of the community's belief in her work.
"We look back now and wonder how we ever did it," she says. "Thankfully we were surrounded by people who wanted to help so much. When we had the soft opening I invited everyone and for three days we gave them a showcase for what we're trying to do here. I think that moment, being surrounded by all those people, was better than anything. I was on my stage in front of people who had supported us."
The staple of Blue's own work at The Venue is VarieTease, a series she founded in 2003 combining elements of dance, music, lighting, and more into continually changing and provocative story lines. Shows typically run for three weeks, and have covered a range of narratives, with titles like Carnivale, Hammers and Lambs, and Nouvelle Luna.
"I'm on my 48th version of VarieTease, and no show is ever the same," Blue explains. "The longevity is nice, but does it mean it's successful to me? It can always be better. What I look for now is innovation, uniqueness, wow factor. I'm trying a lot more character development now, a lot more story, because I always want to be one step ahead of the audience."
The Venue isn't just about her own work, however, which is one of the philosophies the space was founded on. As a rental facility, it has held a range of events including corporate gatherings, wedding receptions, holiday parties, CD releases, and photo sessions. Blue is also a supporter of up and coming artists in the area, and hosts younger dancers and musicians trying to develop their own craft. For someone who has spent so many years growing and supporting Orlando's arts scene, that may be Blue's proudest achievement with the building.
"One of the coolest things about having your own space is that I get to see other artists do what they like to do, in my place," she says. "There's no pressure here, and that can be hard for emerging artists to find. We also have the opera coming in April, then the Fringe Festival in May. To be at the forefront of the arts culture growing is such a cool thing for me, so rewarding."

Posted November 9, 2009 by Marcy Twete in On the Ladder
We've all seen those episodes of the Real World where one 19 year old girl yells at another 19 year old girl with the words, "Don't talk behind my back. Say it to my face." This concept has always boggled my mind. If you're mad, yes, there's something to be said for saying it out loud, but there's also something to be said for taking some time, talking it out with someone else, and approaching a situation more calmly. Well, in the words of Kathy Griffin, "My mother raised me right. I talk about people behind their backs."
There's an epidemic in the office pool in this country – email bitch-blasts. How many times do you find yourself angry, feverishly typing an email and pressing send hastily? I hope not a lot. But there are women (and men, I suppose) who do it all the time. And when you receive these emails, they cut you, they hurt, they make you feel stupid and inadequate. But no matter what the cutting email is about, it's not you, it's them.
When you're angry, don't send a bitchy email. In fact, don't send an email at all. Walk away, talk to someone else, and take time before you fire back about a situation. It'll make you more poised and certainly eliminate someone thinking you're a bitch.

Presenting Lumos, our latest design!
We're proud to release our newest icon design, Lumos! This new style brings together a lot of common elements into a delicious and eye-appealing design. Ever since releasing Nox, we've been wondering what our next creation would look like. As it turns out, it's a culmination of a couple popular trends, all wrapped up into one complete package.
We've always been a fan of the curves that are seen on iOS device homescreens, so we've given this design a bold radius. If you have seen our previous icon packs, you'll know that we love color. Big, bright color. That's why we've decided to take a different approach this time. You'll find a lovely subdued palette with a matte finish. We're no longer screaming for your attention, with this design, but allowing your eyes to discover the crisp visuals naturally.
With Nox, we brought the long shadow into our designs. Suffice to say, we're still in love with the concept. However, we have a taken a different approach to the design feature this time. What you'll find is a more multi-dimensional, almost layered shadow. It also has a stronger gradient to give it a bit more of a unique appeal. All your favorite glyphs have returned as well as some unique enhancements made specifically for Lumos. We're really excited for you all to see of the new designs that we've crafted.
Lumos is available, starting today, on Google Play! We'd love to see what you do with the icons, so make sure to post your screenshots onto Twitter and Google+ with the #Lumos hashtag!
In case you are undecided about Lumos, we've got a demo copy available for you to check out the design. It contains a collection of system and Google apps which will give you a good feel of the overall flavor that the icons can bring to your homescreens.

When I started developing the line I hope to launch to launch next fall, it had a target audience of exactly one–me–so, by default, it was a womenswear line. (Edited to add on 7/16/13: It's happening! It's called Scout's Honor Clothing Company, and I couldn't be more excited about it.)
Over the last few months I've been following various companies who are doing more or less what I want to do: making clothing in shapes, colors, and styles that we traditionally associate with menswear, and cutting them to fit people with hips and/or boobs and/or small frames. These companies include Androgyny, Androgynous, Kreuzbach10, Marimacho, Original Tomboy, and recently, Saint Harridan. (Saint Harridan launched their pre-order Kickstarter campaign about two weeks ago and have already well exceeded their $87,000 goal. Wow!)
A few days before their Kickstarter began, I was reading the "Words" page of the Saint Harridan site and had a pretty strong reaction to one of the comments there–or, rather, to the /tone/ of the comment. I actually agree with the commenter's main point. But, without getting further into it, because each time I try I wind up writing a half-dozen paragraphs that will probably make you go ZZzzzzZZZZzzz, I'll say this: I think it's a bummer that (it seems to me) the harder someone tries to be open and inclusive, the more they set themselves up to be attacked.
Reading these "Words," and the comments they provoked, got me thinking even more about the language I will use to describe the garments in my line. And it got me curious about how the other companies I've identified talk about their customers, so here, in rough order of company launch, are some more words:
Marimacho: on their About page, they describe their products as "fashion for the unconventionally masculine," then go on to describe how they've modified the cut of traditional menswear to the fit the "diverse bodies" of their customers.
Original Tomboy: on their About page, they write that this is a "collection designed for women who re-define what it means to dress 'like a girl', creating a forward yet timeless option for fit and style." They don't say anything about whether/how they've modified the fit of typical garments.
Androgyny: their Kickstarter describes the frustration "queer women" and "women outside the queer community" feel when unable to find clothing that fits their identity and makes them feel comfortable, and they state that their products "offer a men's aesthetic re-engineered for the female form."
Androgynous: on their Kickstarter, they suggest that their target audience is "women who don't fit into the societal "feminine" category [and] have never been able to find clothing made just for them." Their products are "Simply elegant, classy, clean-cut menswear made to fit women."
Kruezbach 10: according to their indiegogo page, "Kreuzbach 10 makes men's shirts, cut to fit women's bodies." They go on to comment that they "don't like to say we make women's shirts….Our shirts are designed to be straight up what you'd expect to find in the men's department….However unlike shirts in the men's department Kreuzbach10 shirts are cut to fit female bodies."
Finally, Saint Harridan, who sent me down this rabbithole, from the opening of their Words page: "We who are attracted to the clothes at Saint Harridan use many different words to describe ourselves. We use words like stud, butch or boi among many others. Some of us embrace the word woman, others like man, some prefer neither or both." On the Kickstarter, the only mention of their potential customers' gender is in the video, when they say they want to make suits for "her…or her…or him…or her…or you." In talking about fit, they mention that they "size for Saints with breasts and no breasts."
Even though I've spent a gazillion hours on all their sites, and have read their copy a gazillion times, I was surprised to discover that 4 of the 6 companies market themselves specifically and exclusively to women. I like what Marimacho is doing, just sort of sidestepping the issue and letting the customers decide whether these clothes are for them. I'd like to try to emulate this in my own copy; however, I'm very attached to my branding slogan, which uses the word 'tomboy,' which, as this reader of tomboy/femme points out, is not an inclusive term. Blurg. Thoughts, world?

While in Ottawa we made a quick stop by CTV Morning Live and had a blast playing our new single "Domino" acoustically. That's right, national television. Look ma — we made it!Read more
It's part of human nature – consistently striving to reach new plateaus and pinnacles in virtually any personal pursuit. And in addition to being a central lyrical theme in the debut LP from BC-based electro-pop outfit Van Damsel, it's also critical to their creative union and, by extension, their eclectic sonic concoction.
While the quartet – comprised of bassist Matthew "Renny" Rennehan, drummer Matthew Barron, guitarist Rich Bregoliss, and singer Sebastien Ste Marie – has a pair of EPs to their name, including 2013's acclaimed The Sunshine, Girl, their statementmaking, self-titled debut formally cements their signature sound. Throughout the 11 cuts on the collection, which officially drops on April 22, 2016, Van Damsel seamlessly weaves organic indie rock with glossy synth pop, blurring lines between styles and eras and bridging now with then, digital with analog, sparkle with substance.
"This LP represents our broader palette, incorporating more influences than we have in the past," Barron says about the album, which finds everything from EDM to new wave to hip-hop being injected into Van Damsel's already-infectious template of hooklaced and danceable indie rock.
It's a sound that tastefully borrows from genre benders like Phoenix, LCD Soundsystem, and even contemporaries like The 1975, resulting in a fresh mix with massive mainstream appeal. From the undeniably dancy first single, "Best of Everything" and '80s-inspired groove-based bliss of "Sophia" to the swirling, ethereal charm of "Circular Symphony" and even the sexy sax lead on "People in the City," the record is as diverse as it is decadent.
It's really no wonder they boast such a broad sonic spectrum; after all, the guys (sans Ste Marie) first began playing together in a tech metal band, and their moniker comes from spastic mathcore outfit Dillinger Escape Plan's song of the same name. In 2009, the four members formed the archetype of what would eventually become Van Damsel, embarking on an ongoing collective pursuit to reach their creative apex. What's more, while three of the four have earned post-secondary degrees, right now, Van Damsel is their sole focus. "Basically," Barron offers, "we're saying 'fuck it' and going all-in, rather than pursuing the paths that have been neatly laid out for us."
It's all consistent with the idea of chasing greatness that Ste Marie so effortlessly relays in his lyrics. "Being human is never being satisfied," the singer muses. "Whatever you're trying to do, there's always something to strive for and work towards." Within that context, the band tackles issues ranging from their geographic underpinnings to organized religion, imbalances of power, and in the deeply personal "Domino," even familial struggle. Always exploring the dichotomy of greatness and the unintended consequences that can sometimes carry, Ste Marie's words are quite macrocosmic despite their ideal delivery from a sweaty dive bar stage.
Van Damsel has amassed a heap of accolades on the back of their powerful and propulsive live show, which they've taken across Canada twice and also played a big part in their $50,000 finish in the 2015 edition of BC's prestigious PEAK Performance Project. They've earned slots supporting the likes of Tokyo Police Club, Mother Mother, and Yukon Blonde, and whether it's a festival main stage or packed club, Van Damsel brings their unique energy and empowering message to the masses. "We want people to walk away from a show feeling inspired," Barron adds – "inspired to do whatever it is they want to do, to pursue it with passion and persist through challenges."
Fortunately, Van Damsel are good at taking their own advice. Their quest for greatness and perfection will always be ongoing, but their first LP marks an impressive peak on that journey and just as significantly is sure to inspire those amid their own individual pursuits.

Petulism: Boudicca's Thought For The Day #2 - Media Paw-Trails and DUMBING DOWN
The media is often accused of 'dumbing down' culture to the detriment of all concerned. Historically, at a linguistic level, animals don't come out of this well - the stupid are described as 'bovine', the mindless as 'sheep', the fat and lazy as 'porcine', etc. When animal traits or characteristics are assigned to people, this is usually in a negative way. Ok, 'foxy' could be seen as a compliment, but that's a bit 70s and porny. Even a reference to 'animal instincts' etc is a derogatory norm.
Look at the specific case of cats - the ancient Egyptians worshipped us as Gods, for crying out loud. There was a small blip in the middle ages when we got dragged into the whole witchcraft thing, but we have been seen for centuries as elegant, intelligent, mysterious - which was only fair.
Now, the situation has deteriorated to such a point that we have adverts portraying us as too dumb to find our own toilet unless it stinks to high heaven, and [shudders] "can i haz cheeseburger" and such mindless drivel. Ooh, it's funny to castigate us for bad grammar and spelling! You ever tried typing with paws? Not f-ing easy. Even the great Sockington (one of the foremost thinkers of our time) has a slight issue with caps lock.
I suspect that most of the allegedly cute output of the 'lolcat' oeuvre is not actually feline-generated, but the result of dumbed-down humans getting carried away because they've worked out how to use photoshop. Either that or it is part of a conspiracy to devalue true feline characteristics (deviousness, self-sufficiency) by portraying us as simple balls of fluff, often to be found in a comedy container. Some argue that this makes it easier for us to achieve our ends, by lulling (lolling) you lot into a state of ignorance, but frankly a) that's not necessary and b) it's just plain rude.
So I say resist, brothers and sisters! We are better than this. We must fight to regain our rightful position in society and culture - venerated, revered, and in charge. Obey me, mortals. Obey me.

Seems like Tapatalk is working reasonably well at the moment - you can browse individual sub forums, see your PMs, upload photos with new posts, and the timeline feature looks to be working ok as well. Not sure if anything specific has happened to fix it, but I've been using it a lot over the weekend with no real issues.

WAB, WECW, Dux Britanniarum, IABSM3 and many other wargames rules, mostly in 28 and 15mm.
Sunday, 1 September 2013
Back from Kelham Hall
Most of the usual suspects were there: no Fighting 15s, which was probably good for my wallet, and surprisingly little Flames of War. In fact, I'm pretty sure the only FoW boxes or blisters I saw were some Soviets and Japanese on the Caliver Books stall. Surprising.
I'd mistakenly thought Foundry weren't there, but they were, which was bad for my wallet, as I have a
plan for a Chain of Command army involving their rather nice Home Guard minis (sculpted by the Perry's). I was going to wait for a sale (since you don't buy Foundry at full price if you can avoid it)... I was even going to wait as they didn't appear to have the character figures in stock, but I came back a bit later and spotted a single blister of that particular set that had somehow appeared since I last visited. Six blisters at show prices? Not that bad, actually.
Had a nice chat with Rob on the stall about CoC as well, once I'd explained what the figures were for. Probably sold a copy as a result.
The Bunker, taking full advantage of what's available in the scale to include a Boeing 707 and, I kid you not, FOUR C130's, as well as loads of support vehicles and some nice airport buildings. The latter, it appears, are actually Scalextric 1/32 buildings with modified doors!
I failed to grab pictures of the War of the Roses battle or the War of the Spanish Succession one (using almost entirely Wargames Factory plastics, and for whose terrain many teddy bears had given their lives).
Ran into PanzerKaput of this parish running a very nice looking VBCW game, which I was going to pop in and have a better look at, but our route back through the show once we'd done didn't take us out that way. Sorry, PK - great to meet you, hope it went well. Also ran into a couple of WD3 folks, and Mr. Shuck.
All in all? Great show. I'll be back.

I was wanting to go to this show but failed to get there.ReplyDelete

Twenty-two FBISD teachers were selected as participants of the Department of Education's Teaching American History grant program. The program is designed to raise student achievement by improving teachers' knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of traditional American history.
FBISD teachers selected for the program are: Katie Braucht of Crockett Middle School, Courtney De Los Santos of Austin Parkway Elementary School. Jonathan Erekson of Dulles High School, Kelley Falleroni of Walker Station Elementary School, Peter Garcia of Sartartia Middle School, David Householder of Travis High School, Jeremy Michael Ide of Missouri City Middle School, Chassidy Jeanminette of McAuliffe Middle School, Valton Krantz of First Colony Middle School, Deborah Le of Seguin Elementary School, Melody McClean of Oakland Elementary School, Jeff McConnell of Baines Middle School, Aaron Minor of Schiff Elementary School, Allonie Moncriffe of Willowridge High School, Joseph Naughton of the Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program, Jennifer O'Callaghan of Dulles Middle School, Jessica Paolini of Barrington Place Elementary School, Janette Robertson of Bush High School, Scott Schultz of Marshall High School, Joel Spaulding of Mission West Elementary School, Erin Tenczar of Kempner High School, and Judith Yap of Briargate Elementary School.
Through the "Teachers as Historians" program, Fort Bend and Spring Branch ISDs work with Rice University to provide content-rich teacher professional development for district American history and social studies teachers. Teacher historians received a two-week professional development seminar at Rice University. They attended a one-week, in-depth field study in Washington, D.C that included lectures and guided tours at Manassas, Harper's Ferry, Antietam, Gettysburg, Appomattox, Ford's Theater, and Arlington National Cemetery. Other opportunities will include three content workshops during the school year; curriculum resources valued at $425, up to 90 hours of professional development credits; and the opportunity to apply for up to $750 in "Teaching Improvement Grants." Participants will also develop two original lessons related to their grant studies and experiences learning more about traditional American history.

Self Worth: Feeling Inferior
Do you find your worth in what you do? Are you concerned that others will think less of you, if they knew what you do for work? Are you self-critical, because you are trying to win the approval of other people.
Galatians 1:10 Obviously, I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant.
It is vital to see ourselves through God's eyes. We are worthwhile to Him. He created us with a purpose.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
He doesn't want us to get caught up in the world's values, but to value what Jesus says is priority. We are to be like Jesus. He came to serve, not to be served.
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful.
2 Corinthians 3:5-6 It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant.
Dear Jesus,
I'm tempted to compare myself with others, even other Christians. Sometimes I think - I'm not as "spiritual". I'm not as likeable and outgoing. I'm not as thin and good looking. I haven't finished my college education yet. It's not that other people are being critical of me; it's that I am critical of myself. I give into the feelings of low self worth.
I need to remind myself that you value me. You know what's best for me; you have a purpose for me. How do you want me to serve and minister to others? I want to know Your will for my life and to follow Your way for me.
Love, Shari

The other morning I was in line at McDonald's watching people and wondering what was taking so long. I noticed a woman over in the next line step up to the counter; she kind of flipped her hand out in front of her face. For some reason her action caught my attention. Immediately, the woman at the register handed the customer a paper and a pen. She wrote on the paper and handed it, along with a five dollar bill, back to the cashier; not a word was spoken.
I stood there wondering what it would be like not to be able to speak. Then I ordered a large drink and a yogurt parfait and as usual told the cashier to have a great day. From my booth I watched as the woman walked across the parking lot to her car. I felt sad; I'm not sure if my sadness was a result of seeing the woman who couldn't speak or if I was sad because I take my very blessed life for granted.
Sunday I spent part of the afternoon with a wonderful church family as they gathered around a dying wife and mother. As we prayed and reflected on Barbara her eldest son said, through a curtain of tears, that he did not understand why bad things happen to good people. A question of the ages and one without an answer. Why can I speak, often entirely too much, and the woman at McDonald's can't utter a single word? Why will she never be able to say "I love you" to her child? Why did the son's mom, a godly woman of amazing faith, die way too young? As I grow older I discover many more questions that I can't seem to answer. However, I find that watching people often leads to life-clarifying experiences. Lord, why me and not those two women?

And I need save Attachment with my custon name! Have any way to do this, for sample:
std::string my_dir = "/temp/mydir"; std::string my_new_file_name = "my_new_artifical_name.xml"; if (email->SaveAttachedFile(j, (my_dir + "/" + my_new_file_name).c_str()) != true)
asked Dec 13 '12 at 14:25

You would call the email->SetAttachmentFilename method to set the Nth attachment's filename. For example:
Then call SaveAttachedFile as before. The 2nd argument to SaveAttachedFile is the target directory (without the filename).

From the article:
A friend wrote me last week to say how troubled she was by this stunner from her 19-year-old: The freshman at a private liberal-arts college told her mom that cheating on exams was standard operating procedure at school, and that she fully expected that cheating would be an everyday thing once she got into the workplace, too.
"To really get ahead, and get what you want in the business world, it is absolutely necessary to cheat," the student told her horrified mother. Forgo a chance to cheat and you're foolishly transferring a perfectly good opportunity to some other cheater who will reap the benefits, she said.
Though she's years from gainful employment, the young woman has something in common with lots of people already securing a paycheck in the job world.

Last week I delivered 20 quilts to Impact to be distributed to those affected by domestic violence. Tomorrow I have 21 to deliver to Peter Mac Cancer Clinic. I still have 3 left which will go to the group which helps homeless teens. I think that will be the end of this year's donation quilts as we are starting to get busy with work and family commitments.
I really appreciate all of your support throughout the year with these donation quilt projects. Every quilt a needy person receives reminds them that they have not been forgotten. I have another new project to share very soon but in the meantime I'm back to repairing vinage quilts and more hand quilting- very good as a stress relief.
Hugs and grateful thanks, Jan Mac

adlib.mu css blocked
I've been building my company website for a bit now and been showing an "under construction" page.
I noticed that my website, which has no actual ads on it is being blocked, maybe because the word 'ad' appears throughout. As a result, my page loads as text-only when a plugin using EasyList is running. I'm using wordpress and am not going to lie, I have VERY limited dev knowledge.
Please help! I'm launching the full website by the end of the week and would really appreciate it if all visitors that use Adblock are still be able to visit it...

Are some people just predestined for disappointment or do we set ourselves up for it? That is something that I have been questioning for a bit now and at first I just thought that I must be predestined for it, given the mess I came from.. Then I started looking back on my life up until now and I have begun to realize that given my past family situation, I have come to the conclusion that I (all by myself) set ME up for disappointment! I want something so bad that I forget to keep the wall up. So therefor disappointment can come in. I am not talking about the disappointments from our children as that is predestined so very much expected. I did not put other relationships in that catagory even though they to are predestined. So, not realizing that I then set myself up to be crushed by others and all by my doing because I had forgotten that EVERYONE will disappoint you at one time or another. What have I learned? That I am still a child looking for something that no one but Jesus can give me. That my family means everything to me and I wont stand by and let anyone hurt them. That the family I created is mine and we have our ups and downs and those little bumps but they are truly all I need! My eldest and my Bri along with my three beautiful grandsons fill a void in me that cant be described! That my Pooky bear has found a beautiful and highly intelligent young woman to spend the rest of his life with and whom I already feel is my daughter. (cant wait for the granddaughter they will eventually give me, what a beauty she will be) Then there is beautiful Meg... She is a book that continues to be written and I pray God will help us both through these teen years. (she truly can be the sweetest thing there is) So, I have my family the core 9 of us are a match for no one and I am truly blessed to have them all. They are my greatest achievement!! The wall is up and right or wrong I will remember to keep it there!

Orlando 2010
I cant believe I have been home for 2 weeks and just now getting the time to write about my vacation?! Things have been so crazy around here and today I am finally back to a regular schedule. An old client came back and I started a new client and now that it is Monday I think I can finally breathe again.. First day was spent at Seaworld, Meg was a bit nervous thinking of the last time we were there. But all went well and we went to "sharks" restaurant again and although it cost me more than I wanted to spend, the food was fabulous and the time with family irreplaceable. Meg and I saw our first play. I cant believe I had never seen one before? It was really great and I look forward to many more in the future. The ocean was beautiful and Meg did her usual feeding the birds thing that she loves so much. Jen and I were nudging each other the whole time and giggling waiting for them to attack her. Why she loves doing that so much is beyond me but she does and it is fun to watch. I ended up spending more time with family than I had planned but turned it around and had an awesome time. I praise God for such an awesome family and though the core 9 of us were not all there, the ones that were made me realize that the family God created for me is truly the best and we may all have our issues, together we are truly the greatest! Playing in the pool with my boys was truly a joy! Having oodles of fun with Sissy and Brian was a great treat and one we are sure to repeat! My vacation did not go as planned but I learned some valuable and hard lessons and ended it with lots of fun.

TORONTO (Reuters) - He was best known for his breakout role as Boone Carlyle in "Lost", but these days, Ian Somerhalder is winning accolades for his turn as vampire Damon Salvatore in the TV show "The Vampire Diaries."
Somerhalder, 31, has been busy in Atlanta, Georgia, filming season 2 of the series after spending a difficult summer being pulled in two different directions: promoting the CW network show ahead of its return on Thursday, and helping raise environmental awareness in his home state of Louisiana following the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
He is passionate about the environment and animal welfare but says he doesn't want to be another celebrity with a pet cause, pushing an agenda.
"I think it's a fine line. I don't ever want anything to come in the way of me truthfully telling a story," Somerhalder told Reuters in an interview.
"I appreciate the response and the support of fans, of people who actually don't mind watching me on screen ... I just don't ever want to jeopardize that."
His character on "The Vampire Diaries" — alternately described by fans as a "sociopath" and "misunderstood" — is slowly rediscovering his humanity through a renewed, but still dysfunctional, relationship with his younger vampire brother (played by Paul Wesley) and a complicated and deepening friendship with his brother's human girlfriend (played by Nina Dobrev).
Critics laud Somerhalder for his portrayal of a vampire who comes to the fictional town of Mystic Falls, Virginia, to wreak havoc, only to find himself protecting it instead. The highly-anticipated second season promises plenty of plot twists, drama and an unfolding love triangle.
The show — noted for its fast-paced storytelling and weekly cliffhangers — has received critical praise despite initial skepticism. It is CW's top-rated show, scoring the youth-oriented network its largest audience ever when it premiered a year ago.
Fans voted it favorite new drama in this year's People's Choice Awards.
Somerhalder credits those fans for inspiring him.
"It's really a phenomenal thing that's happening and I'm unbelievably grateful to fans of the show for really stepping up to the plate and saying, we're tired of this, we want to help. It's humbling. It really is," he said.
Somerhalder said he feels guilty for not devoting as much time as he'd like to helping with the aftermath of the environmental catastrophe along the U.S. Gulf Coast where he grew up.
He paid tribute to the people of Louisiana and groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council that are working in the region.
"They're down there with their knees in the dirt or the marsh, just working away. And they're fighting tooth and nail for everything that organization stands for," he said.
During the height of the oil spill, Somerhalder traveled to an area on Grand Isle considered ground zero and was saddened by what he saw.
"To me and to the people that go down there, (it's) one of the most beautiful places in the world. And I actually had to watch it destroyed. And it will be destroyed — forever. My great-grandchildren will not be able to enjoy the Gulf Coast of Louisiana the way I have."
Somerhalder is involved with a start-up called Go Green Mobile Power, which makes mobile solar, wind and bio-diesel generators and hopes to provide off-grid power for everything from the film industry to disaster relief overseas.
He is also involved with the group New Leash On Life, which takes in stray dogs and trains them to be service dogs.
If he could leave a legacy, he said, those would be it.
"Those are things that I know will be huge parts of the rest of my life," said Somerhalder.
Does this mean Somerhalder has another calling?
"I don't know how to do anything else other than be an actor. If I wasn't in this, I would be in alternative energy and conservation," he said.
"Acting is such a huge part of my life. It really allows me to have a creative outlet and to actually be able to have an outlet to discuss openly the things that truly I think are relevant in the world, that make a difference."

Models Under 50K Miles?
The Acura brand is full of foreign finesse and a form of aesthetic casual luxury that presents the image portraying the brand's overall sophisticated style of design. A common fact that is oftentimes misconstrued and not well known altogether is that Acura is in fact a derivative of Honda. Acura is the Honda's luxury brand of motor vehicle. If you've ever seen an Acura and a Toyota side by side, you've perhaps seen the similarities, although the Acura is designed with a more refined grace.
The Acura MDX is a mid-size three-row seated crossover vehicle (CUV) produced since 2000 by the Honda automotive manufacturer. Its namesake represents its general mantra: "Multi-Dimensional Luxury". The MDX is the best-selling three-row luxury crossover of all time, with sales in the United States reaching close to one million by the end of 2014. In terms of platform design, the Acura MDX is of a close relation to the Honda Pilot.
Appearance Over Time
Over the seventeen years of its successful existence, the Acura MDX has changed significantly in terms of its physical appearance. The first generation of the Acura MDX looks hardly anything like its present third-generation model, which features lower side-skirting and paneling, a new chiseled and intelligible light design that offers the MDX a more luxurious image--Acura's Jewel Eye LED headlight design at work--and very purposeful ridges and divots in its framework that have increased the aerodynamics of the MDX, reducing air drag by 16% by incorporating modern exclusive technologies to their design processes. Structure rigidity is enhanced through the use of high-strength steel, cutting the overall curb weight of the MDX down significantly. A reduced curb weight signifies Acura's interest in making the MDX fuel efficient and easier to handle.
The grille design of the Acura MDX has retained its classic trademark presence but is now laced with chrome trim about its bold v-shape. Paneled grilles in the front bumper have been added, also laced with chrome trim that gives the car an increased aura of luxury, which it undoubtedly deserves.
Performance Updates
The third generation Acura MDX has undergone rigorous performance updates to ensure that the crossover competition is neatly eliminated from its playing field. The MDX was released in the United States with a front-wheel-drive drivetrain option that was never available in the past, as all previous models of the MDX were strictly rear-wheel-drive vehicles. Enhancements of the vehicles frame and aerodynamics makes the new MDX faster, fuel efficient, and safe.
The Acura MDX features an all new optional Knee Keeping Assist System and a Collision Mitigation Breaking System. The Cruise Control in the current generation Acura MDX is Adaptive, meaning it has the ability to stop and go on its own with perfect functionality.
Schedule a Test Drive
Once seated inside the cavernous interior of the Acura MDX and you will understand why the manufacturer possesses such successful sales records. At Atlanta Luxury Motors, you are guaranteed to be satisfied with all of the quality cars found here on our sales lot. Our sales staff operate with concision and affable customer service that we promise you'll enjoy.

Yes, I have been a sub. I actually enjoyed it! You got to see a lot of classrooms and see some great ideas. If you don't have a great day, you get a whole new set up the next day.

Window Covering Safety Month
October is Window Covering Safety Month.
Did you know that something like window coverings – something we see as a beautiful accent in our homes – can be dangerous to children and infants?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is urging parents and caregivers during October to check all window coverings for exposed or dangling cords, which pose a strangulation hazard to infants and young children.
"Every year, cords from window coverings kill children," said CPSC Chairman Elliot F. Kaye. "Parents should go cordless if they can. This is a true hidden hazard to parents and children. Until the more hazardous options are removed from the marketplace, going cordless is the safest approach to use in places where young children are present."
CPSC encourages parents and caregivers to follow these window cord precautions:
- The best option is to install only cordless window coverings in homes with young children.
- If you choose to have corded window coverings in your house, follow these steps to lower the strangulation risk to your child:
- Keep all window covering cords well out of the reach of children, at all times.
- Move and keep all furniture, cribs, beds and climbable surfaces away from windows.
- Make sure pull cords are adjusted to be as short as possible.
- Continuous-loop pull cords on draperies, roller shades, and vertical blinds must be pulled tight and anchored to the floor or wall with a tension device.
- Be sure "cord stops," a washer-like device used to prevent a dangerous cord loop from being pulled out of an inner cord, are installed properly. Cord stops should be adjusted to limit movement on inner cords of blinds and shades.*
Window Fashions of Texas understands the need for making window treatments safe for children and infants. We have two systems that address this need.
The first is called UltraGlide®. This system features a unique, retractable cord—letting you raise and lower your window treatments without unsightly, dangling external cords. It is available with a variety of window treatments from shades to blinds.
The other is our LiteRise® cordless system. It lets you simply push up with your hand to raise and pull down to lower. And it is also available with a wide variety of window coverings.
A customer favorite is the Vignette Modern Roman Shade. We took the look of the classic "drapery" style window covering of Roman Shades and updated them for a more modern look. The result is beautiful and functional that is also child safe – the cords are neatly enclosed and hidden away inside the lining. They roll, stack and traverse with no exposed rear cords for enhanced child safety.
The Vignette Modern Roman Shade from Austin Window Fashions is available in 15 fabrics and 102 fabric and color combinations, one of which is sure to be just the right look for your home. They come in semi-sheer, translucent and room-darkening fabrics to help you create a warm, inviting look.
Now you don't have to sacrifice beauty for safety. Come to the Window Fashions of Texas showroom and speak to one of our knowledgeable design consultants to discover the look that is right for you and safe for your family.

There's an interesting piece on our new president, Trump Revives the Fordist-Keynesian Pact at the Spanish blogs La Torre de Marfil and Hispaniainfo.
In it the author, Gabriel Garcia, asserts that Trump is no revolutionary, explaining that he is merely attempting to re-establish the economic-political order that reigned in the US from the end of World War 2 until roughly 1973, while arguing unpersuasively that Trump's motivation stems directly from the fact that his own businesses (casinos and hotels) require a relatively well-paid population of consumers in order to prosper.
There's no question that Trump's economic populism aims to recreate something like the prosperous post-war years of increasing working class incomes and stable employment. However, Mr Garcia misses the national elements at work in the Trump movement. Explicitly, Trump espouses a civic nationalism deeply at odds with the otherwise-prevailing elite globalist discourse from both left and right. Implicitly, Trump's movement and sub-texts represent the beginnings of an identitarian/national awakening on the part of middle America. In the current world these elements are profoundly subversive in essence even if not in form since:
– The ruling class is globalist in its basic nature; nationalism in its ethno- or even its civic form is in fundamental opposition to the logic of capitalist development.
– The Fordist-Keynesian form was in the interests of the ruling class at the time – now it is not.
– Trump's nationalism, while not revolutionary on its face, calls into question the current neo-liberal system itself – like "Peace, Land and Bread" did to the existing order in 1917.
– Neo-liberal globalism includes an assault against the prosperity and even the being of middle America.
– The demonization of middle American whites as racists, homophobes, misogynists, etc works to paralyze resistance on our part, while mobilizing various minority communities as troops in the struggle against us.
– While Trump is no revolutionary himself, his refusal to accept the political limits of the dominant discourse opens the door to much more radical movements.
– As Garcia acknowledges, these revived nationalist projects are taking place in the US – the center of the globalist system – rather than in some relatively peripheral country.
None of this is to argue that we will be building barricades any time soon (or even ever) or that Trump will really attempt to push his agenda a significant distance toward its logical conclusions (although the evidence of the past couple of weeks gives one hope). Rather, he represents a least the possible opening of a new political age.
Notes: Mr. Garcia's post is centered on an extensive quote from a recent book by Laureano Luna – La lucha obrera en la era del capitalismo global. Luna is an interesting figure who originated the term "autonomia historica," expressing a recognition that the Spanish anti-system right needed to break with its addiction to LARPing the 1930s. He was involved in the formation of what seemed to be a very promising enterprise, a party called the National Left in 2010 or 2011, which unfortunately seems to have gone nowhere. The book sounds like something worth reading if I can actually put my hands on a copy.
Talking about Mr. Luna's book, I was once again reminded of how irritatingly expensive all of those interesting-sounding Spanish magazines seem to be – things like Nihil Obstat (at 20€ for the latest copy) or Revista de Historia del Fascismo (at 18€) – and when you add in shipping… How about some e-versions?!

Site work on the Destin Commons expansion has been completed and construction should begin early next month.
Destin Commons last September announced the roughly 100,000-square-foot expansion in the southwest corner of the front parking lot along U.S. Highway 98. Work on the underground utilities and building pads started soon after the announcement.
�We have completed all of the underground utilities. We�ve got final permit approval for the buildings. We�re waiting on one final document before we can close on our loan, but everything is moving towards June 1 as a construction start date,� said Bob Perry, general manager of Destin Commons. �We expect to have a couple of major announcements within the next two to three weeks.�
The announcements will be the names of the two junior anchor businesses. Most of the details won�t be released until later this month, but Perry did offer a few hints.
�They�re both new to the market,� Perry said. �One is a major fashion retailer and the other one is a restaurant and entertainment concept.�
Over the next two to three weeks, tests will be done to make sure the water systems have been installed properly for the fire hydrants and the sprinkler systems. Compaction tests will also be completed on the building pads.
Destin Commons opened in November 2003 with 400,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and office space, as well as the Rave Motion Pictures movie theater. Rave was purchased last December and renamed AMC Destin Commons 14.
The shopping center is 100 percent leased.
Designs for the expansion have not been finalized, but preliminary plans called for more than 20 stores and three restaurants.
Perry said Destin Commons has received commitments or letters of intent for about 70 percent of the expansion, and he expects to be at 90 to 95 percent full or more by the time it opens next year.
�There will be kind of a staggered opening with certain components of it getting open as early mid-April and others coming on in May, June and July,� Perry said. �Hopefully nothing later than July. It depends on the length of the build out and the permitting process for each of the tenants.�

Mental Focus
As we focus on our bodies when playing the instrument, we often forget the crucial role of the brain. 15 minutes of practice time with full concentration produces better results than an hour of mindless, repetitive practicing. Here are some tips for achieving mental focus:
• A metronome insists on accurate rhythm. It also helps coordinate all the muscles involved with an initial attack or a change of pitch.
• A tuner reminds you to pay attention to the pitch placement of each note. Trying to hold the visual display steady develops breath control.
• Recorded 'drones' provide an aural pitch reference, a sort of intervallic 'guide post'.
• Mirrors help you concentrate on proper posture and effective embouchure manipulation.
• Record your practice session. Listen critically.
• Practice small sections of music with many repeats. Strive for technical improvement and enhanced musical expression.
• Practice in short blocks of time. Concentrate!
• Slow down! Slow, careful practice generates maximum improvement.
• Subdue room lighting. Minimize distractions.
• Picture a bulls-eye target on each note. Aim for the dead center. When you miss, determine the cause. (Too high? Too low?) Consciously adjust your aim on the next attempt.
• When you miss a note, stop and determine what you were thinking about. Often you'll find your mind is on notes that have happened already, or notes to come, or something else altogether. Each note requires your full attention.
• Be as aware of reduced mental focus as you are of tired lips. Work your mind as hard as your body, and provide adequate rest time for both.

The Kenai Fjords area saw a return to more typical temperatures in February when the average monthly temperature dropped below freezing, yet remained slightly above the 30-year normal (1981-2010) for the month. Precipitation amounts dried up significantly from the previous month. While January received 150% of normal precipitation, February received only 10% of normal. The little measurable precipitation that was recorded arrived during the second half of the month and was unsuccessful in bringing snowpack levels back up to normal. See below to learn more about February's thin snowpack.
As recorded at the Seward airport, total precipitation was 0.62 inches (10% of normal), 5.43 inches below the 30-year average (1981- 2010) for the month. The monthly average temperature for February was 29.7 degrees F; 1.4 degrees F above the 30-year average. Winds were variable throughout the month with a maximum daily average wind speed of 21.8 mph recorded on February 9th. A maximum wind gust of 47 mph was recorded on February 10th.

Editorial: Craddick's re-election bid means possible stability to RRC
Here is a trivia question for our readers. Name the last Railroad Commissioner to win re-election after serving a full term.
Our guess is, not too many people, even here in the oil patch, can tell you the answer off the top of their head. When we asked Chairman Christi Craddick, the question stumped her. Why is this relevant, you might ask? Because Craddick is looking to be the first commissioner in a decade to win re-election after serving a full term.
RELATED: Christi Craddick announces re-election bid
That is a sad commentary on the priorities of those who have served recently on the Railroad Commission. Some have tried to use the position as a stepping stone to another office. Victor Carrillo almost broke the string, but he lost his bid for re-election, falling to David Porter in 2010. Porter joined the unfortunately long list of commissioners who were one (full term) and done.
We need the best and brightest serving on the Railroad Commission, and should Craddick win her re-election bid as expected, we will have something needed on the board that oversees oil and gas operations: stability.
We need a person who can walk into a legislator's office and remind them that a strong Railroad Commission requires proper funding. Texas has not become diversified to the extent that the commission can live with archaic computer systems, undermanned staffing levels and equipment that leaves the commission sputtering. As Craddick told the Reporter-Telegram this week, when she started, it took 45 to 65 days to get a drilling permit. Now, it's two to seven days, depending on how complicated it is.
RELATED: Christi Craddick: RRC is state's most important agency
Will Craddick ever seek a position elsewhere? Our expectation is never say never.
"You know, if that opportunity is there at some point, I'll look at it," Craddick said. "I went into this commission because someone needed to be there who understood it and needed to make some changes and really work at it. I think we've really made some progress, but there's room to improve."
Should Craddick be re-elected and complete a second term, that would put her in even more exclusive company, which brings us to our second question: Who was the last Railroad Commissioner to finish two full terms? One has to go back to the mid-1990s to see the last time that happened.
Let's hope Craddick can add that to her list of political accomplishments.
Answer to question No. 1: Michael Williams, also a former Midlander, won re-election in 2008.
Answer to question No. 2: James E. (Jim) Nugent, a Democrat, served from January 1979 to January 1995. Charles R. Matthews defeated Nugent as part of the Republican revival in 1994.

By, Mae
I was a preemie baby. My mom was only 8 months pregnant when the doctor told her that she has to undergo emergency ceasarian or else she will lose me. Why did I start with that statement? Because the first thing that I am grateful for (and there are many) is the fact that I have loving parents... My mom risked her life so she could have me. And that's just the beginning... My Dad loves me (his youngest daughter) so much that he would endure whatever to keep me comfy. I am also grateful for being blessed with three older sisters who share with me both their knowledge and experiences so as to make life easier for me. I am grateful for a brother who although at times can be hard to be with (I often don't understand his moods) takes care of me in his own way. I am grateful for all the blessings I have been given in the 16 years I have walked this world. God has indeed been very generous when he gave me the precious gifts of a wonderful family and loyal friends. Education, my family says, is a privilege and I am thankful that this privilege was given to me too. Material things can be entertaining for a while and I do get my share of gadgets and stuff that I am thankful for but what truly touches my heart is the more lasting, more extravagant, more meaningful presents that I have been fortunate enough to be given. A life to live and people I love to share it with!

Brought on by this post, I thought I should explain about the dangers of Helsinki squirrels.
In most of Helsinki, one is safe from squirrels: you can happily walk through the station in the early hours, and you'll be fine. Places like Kallio and Hertaniemi: no problem. But be careful if you venture into Seurasaari. There you can walk through the forests along the paths. But if you take a wrong turn, you find them staring at you:
As you go further down the path, you will find yourself becoming more nervous - what is that scratching behind you? Does the path lead back to civilisation, or are you going deeper into the wilds? Is that duck in on the schemes?
Then you turn a corner and discover - some of them are armed
Fortunately, the importance of the tourist industry means that Helsinki City Council has the matter in hand. It is bad press to have your visitors mugged by a squirrel, and have their peanuts stolen. Therefore, they have organised special squads, who are trained to track down and kill down these monsters, even the biggest ones.

16 September 2004
16 September 2004 The National Chaplain to the Guild of Catholic Doctors has warned that the Mental Capacity Bill will 'overturn a traditional principle of medical ethics.' Fr Hugh MacKenzie wrote in a letter to the Daily Telegraph: "Legalising third-party decisions that allow death without medical inevitability is to introduce involuntary euthanasia into the statute books." [The Telegraph, 16 September ] Canadian researchers are hoping to reduce the failure rate for hip replacements and remove the need for repeat replacements by developing a stem cell therapy to create 'living glue' for new joints. Scientists at the University of British Columbia and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute aim to use cells extracted from the patient's own bone marrow to regenerate bone cells that will help to secure artificial joints. [Medical News Today, 16 September ] The use of adult-sourced stem cells is an ethical and in practical applications, more advanced, alternative to destroying embryos to obtain stem cells. One of the judges on the panel that threw out Norma McCorvey's bid to re-open the Roe v. Wade case has caused a stir by attacking the Roe v. Wade ruling. Edith H. Jones described the legal decision that legalised abortion in the US as an 'exercise in raw judicial power', writing that Ms McCorvey's evidence "goes to the heart of the balance Roe struck between the choice of a mother and the life of her unborn child." She added: "If courts were to delve into the facts underlying Roe's balancing scheme with present-day knowledge, they might conclude that the woman's 'choice' is far more risky and less beneficial, and the child's sentience far more advanced, than the Roe Court knew." [Houston Chronicle, 15 September ] The UN Population Fund has released its annual State of the World Population report. In spite of the alarmingly low birth rate in many countries, UNFPA continues to claim that access to abortion and contraception is "an essential condition for meeting the UN's Millennium Development Goals to reduce global poverty by 2015." [LifeSiteNews.com, 15 September ] The UK's National Service Framework has launched a strategy to overhaul children's health and social care, which could include using cartoon characters to give children sexual health advice. Stephen Ladyman the community health minister said: "We could use Nikelodeon or the cartoon channel to pass on important information. Why shouldn't [cult cartoon character] Spongebob Squarepants start delivering some health messages?" [The Guardian, 15 September ]

We whipped up a batch of these delightful and delicious Shooting Star Parfaits for an extra special dessert tonight. This treat is just as yummy to eat as it is to look at, plus is super simple and speedy to put together..try making up a batch of these for your little stars.
Ingredients -
1 pkg Berry-Blue Jello
1 cup boiling water
2 cups ice cubes
1-2 cups thawed Cool Whip
4 large marshmallows
Colored sugar (we make our own by mixing some food coloring into some fine sugar)
Directions -
1. Add boiling water to Jello and stir until completely dissolved. Add ice cubes. Stir until Jello thickens, 3-5 minutes. Remove any remaining ice cubes. Refrigerate Jello for 10-20 minutes, no longer, until the Jello has a thicker consistency but is not completely set. This ensures the Cool Whip does not float to the surface when you are forming your clouds in the next step.
2. Alternate spooning thickened Jello and spoonfuls of Cool Whip into large parfait glasses. Refrigerate at least another 15 minutes.
3. Flatten marshmallows slightly with a rolling pin and cut into star shapes (we did not have a small enough cutter so I cut our stars by hand). Moisten stars slightly with water and sprinkle with colored sugar.
4. Top finished parfaits with a dollop of additional Cool Whip and marshmallow stars.
Make a wish and ENJOY :)

A wonderful recording. Very highly recommended.
Bernard Kruesemann said:
Play this record if you want to know what kind of music todays Yngwie Malmsteen fans would have listened to if they were born a few centenials earlier.The instruments are very carefully chosen, even without knowledge of the notes you can clearly tell which harpsicord is playing what. Timing of the musicians is excellent, and the recording quality is outstanding. You feel as if located in the middle of the small recording room. Hogwoods string arrangement of 1064 and Vivaldis RV580 are nice bonus tracks.It is one of my most frequently played discs.

Supporting Talent
December 9, 2009
Hi John here again, just wanted to fill you in on what we've been up to. I'm not sure if you're aware but John Carne Hairdressing helps support Inter Training Services Limited (ITS Ltd) which is a hairdressing training provider which offers apprenticeship schemes to learners between the ages of 16-18years old. They offer various other support too for up and coming hairdressers trying to find their place in the world, and we're really proud to support them.
This year we sent Chantelle Abbott from the salon to judge 20+ learners who submitted entries for the ITS Ltd Photographic competition 2009 titled 'Look Back for the Future'. The competitors all produced an image to encapsulate the theme which was supported by a mood board to demonstrate their creative thought and talent.
You can see Chantelle in the picture judging all of the contestants… I believe the standard this year was particularly high which is fantastic to hear!
