Give a bunch of academics long enough, and they'll come up with a study that can suggest just about anything—including an upside to this terrible job market.
According to an article in The Week, researchers at Emory University's Goizueta Business School have found that there may be a correlation between job satisfaction over the course of a career and the economic climate that you graduated into. Put simply: if you graduate into a tough market, you're more likely to feel happy in your career than if you graduate in prosperous times.
As the piece says "Even though graduates who enter the workforce during recession years typically take lower quality jobs, advance more slowly, and make less money years into their career, they also tend to have higher levels of job satisfaction."
The reason? There appear to be a couple:
No choices = no regrets
Candidates who graduate into a booming job market may well find themselves weighing several competing job offers—sometimes in different fields, or locations. According to the research cited in the article, that can lead to second-guessing further down the career path: "Much like the negotiator who can more easily imagine different ways events might have progressed, these graduates are more likely to wonder whether unchosen paths might have yielded greater outcomes."
Rejoice, then, if you happen to have graduated into a situation where simply finding any job is a challenge—you might not be as successful, but at least you can't second-guess a decision when it was the only option on the table. And, as a special bonus, you're also much more likely to experience…
The hardest-won achievements in our lives tend to be the ones that we recall most vividly. When asked during interviews for examples of problems we've overcome, those are the experiences that spring to mind most readily, their lessons most likely to affect our future actions and perceptions of the world around us. It's no surprise, then, to find that people who land their first job in tough markets carry the memory of that experience with them more vividly than their boom-era colleagues. During subsequent difficult times—like that meeting where you just got denied a raise or a promotion you felt you were due—you still have that positive memory to fall back on as consolation. After all, if the job was difficult to get, the simple act of holding on to it even in times of adversity is likely to seem more rewarding than it would to someone who didn't have to struggle—or perhaps turned down other opportunities—to find it.
How much of a silver lining you consider the above points to be depends on your own circumstances; personally, I'm not sure that being freed from looking backwards, coupled with a lasting sense of gratitude for being rescued from unemployment are worth the tradeoff for the diminished opportunities and earning potential a poor job market brings. But a more interesting question is surely how lasting such mindsets will be and what, if any effect they will bring to bear on the workforce and the wider economy in coming years. Will that "gratitude" manifest itself as a willingness to accept poorer working conditions or lower pay even as the economy recovers? Will it have an effect on labor mobility? Or will it simply evaporate at the first sign of an upswing, as employees find themselves in the position—for the first time—to make decisions that they may later come to regret?

Suggestion boxes in Tel Aviv.
Dana Shai
Do you want to make a suggestion? This is the simple question the New York-based public-art collective Illegal Art has been posing to people on city streets since the spring of 2002, when, following the Sept. 11 attacks, the artists first deployed their clipboards, pens, and cardboard boxes in parks and sidewalks across New York City. The premise is straightforward: Write down and submit your suggestion—any suggestion—about anything you like. Since then, Suggestion Box has traveled to Florida, California, Brazil, South Africa, England, Spain, and Italy and will soon be traveling to China, gathering suggestions on things mundane, profound, irreverent, and goofy.
Last January, the group brought the project to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem with the assistance of Eran Zaharoni, the founder and director of Haifa-based ArchiBlender, a local public art and architecture group. The results—in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, and English—provide a snapshot of contemporary thinking in the Holy Land. Flip through them. Your suggestions are welcome.
"Build a space station by the Western Wall."
"We should make Jerusalem warmer and Eilat colder."
"Deport the mosquitoes! Enough with the biting!"
"The most important thing: spend the most time talking about the things that are the least pleasant to talk about."
"1. I suggest the government should go to another planet and take the Rabbis and the Mullahs and the priests with them. 2. I suggest all the policemen go to the zoo to relax by taking pictures of apes."
"More love, less war."
"There's no peace with colonization in the land of Palestine and its holy capital Jerusalem."
"Shut down the Facebook immediately."
"Look each other in the eye when you're having sex."
"Move Israel to Thailand."
"I propose quiet."

Ashley Archambeau (COPA 2009) on a visit to Pittsburgh's South Side in December 2010. Photo by Martha Rial.
"Ashley has that magical thing called 'charisma,'" says Lynn Fero (COPA 1981) of Ashley Archambeau (COPA 2009).
Fero, a CBS television distribution executive, recently helped to arrange a movie audition for the young alumna, and less than a week later Archambeau was on her way to Portugal to play a lead role in the independent film Femena.
The story provides a lesson in the importance of networking, both say.
Fero became reacquainted with Archambeau at an alumni dinner held after the 2010 Showcase in Los Angeles, when the young actress made a point of reconnecting. Just days later, when Fero's husband, director and writer Matt Cimber, said he needed to replace the lead actress in his new film, Fero immediately thought of Archambeau.
"I hadn't seen Ashley perform, but I knew the training she received at Point Park and I knew the quality of the talent at the University," says Fero. "Add in her charisma, and I sensed that she might be able to carry the film."
Femena tells the story of a young woman who faces questions of love and loss while dealing with an unexpected pregnancy. Cimber wrote the screenplay based on the novel Letter to a Child Never Born, by (now deceased) Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci.Cimber auditioned Archambeau for the lead (via Skype), checked out her references (including Point Park faculty), and arranged for her to meet the film's producers in Los Angeles. Pleased with the results, the director decided he was "willing to roll the dice" on Archambeau, in part because of Fero's recommendation and his knowledge of the extensive training at the Conservatory of Performing Arts.
Associate Professor Zeva Barzell says Archambeau made the most of her time at Point Park. Her "zest for life" and "strong work ethic" was evident from her earliest days on campus, says Barzell.
While earning a bachelor's degree in musical theater, Archambeau served as assistant director for Playhouse Jr.'s production of Alice in Wonderland and appeared in Conservatory Theatre Company's production of Ragtime, among a variety of other roles on stage and behind the scenes. She also worked at Pittsburgh's City Theatre. On campus, she helped found an experimental theater group to enable students to explore their own projects.
The actress credits Barzell, and theater department chair John Shepard, with helping her grow in all aspects of her life. "They inspired me to be a better artist and a better person," says Archambeau.
"Students earn relationships with coaches and find mentors here," says Barzell. "It's part of their Point Park training. We encourage them to share their victories and career challenges throughout their lives."
Archambeau says she considered leaving acting to pursue stage directing, but Barzell encouraged her to live in the moment and see what happened. "She often told us to 'be in the struggle because beautiful things will result from the work,'" Archambeau remembers.
Her professor was right. As a result of her performance in Point Park's 2009 L.A. Showcase, Archambeau secured an agent and began to pursue multiple opportunities.
The actress says she's learned that you should "try to do it all," so in addition to auditioning and participating in workshops, she's tried her hand at stand-up comedy, Vaudeville burlesque and creat- ing a cabaret. She's danced with John Quale (better known as Prince Poppycock of America's Got Talent television fame), and had a recurring role in Get Thee Behind Me, for Time Warner On Demand. And she recently shot a trailer for City of the Dead, a pilot being pitched to Showtime.
In 2011 the Ohio native will return to the Portimao region of Portugal to complete filming of Femena, which also features well-known Brazilian actress Sonia Braga, a Golden Globe nominee for such films as Kiss of the Spider Woman. Archambeau hopes that Femena will have a screening in Pittsburgh in 2012.In addition to being a successful actor and director, Archambeau says that one day she wants to have her own production company. And she wants to become a philanthropist.
According to Fero, there's no doubt this young alum is going places.

I'm trying to find out.

Sustainable Biodiesel...
Thanks Graydon, this is an excellent summary.
Never having to worry about checking your oil at the filling station, and then having to dig around the back of the pickup for another quart of oil to add.
In this case, always fill the sump to the low mark on the stick... or you could probably get away with filling it to a quart or so below the low mark. The oil really only needs to cover the oil pickup 100% of the time, and have a little extra to absorb heat and impurities.
As mentioned, high oil can be far worse on an engine than low oil. Check your oil levels regularly, and drain if too high. Too bad you can't have a drain on the side of the sump like a transmission... just pop out the side drain and let the level drop back to "normal". I'm not sure how much oil you're talking about... but if you start at 20% below the low mark.. and then the high mark is an additional 20% higher, then by the time the sump is full, you'd have about 40 or 50% BD, and it would be time to change it out.
Now to the root of the problem.
I'm still leaning towards redesigning the lubrication system to include a "dry sump", then using the fuel as lube. This would, however, limit a person to running only SVO or B100, and essentially NEVER run straight #2 Diesel.
And, then the DPF Post Injection would be a mute point, and may even add to the cylinder lube (assuming there wasn't a coking issue).
This article may come in handy...
How To Remove A DPF Filter
(I also threw this in the first post under additional resources & will add more as I run across them or as people pose).
Leave it to Diesel Power Magazine to show us how it can be done!
Man I love that magazine!
-GraydonThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Graydon Blair,
Why not just use an Oil Mate system with CJ-4 lube oil?
Now that's a cool idea!
But would that engine oil combust properly or would it just cause more problems in the DPF?
Still a neat idea though.
That's a great article! And it answers one question that keeps coming up: how often does the regen happen, or what triggers it?
But it also implies that this is not the ONLY signal that triggers a regen, probably happens at set intervals, too. Otherwise the easy fix would just be to knock out all the filter media in that can, and bolt it back on. The 2 back-pressure sensors would always show no plugging, and regen would never happen.
I wonder if there's also a "default regen mode" in the systems too (kind of like water softeners that automatically cycle at a set interval whether they need it or not).
I'm betting each manufacturer may implement that slightly different, but yep, sounds like if you could disable those censors in the ECU you'd be set (oh yeah, and knock out the DPF media).
I would say this is on my wishlist, but I'm actively working to make it happen:
A federal regulation that all diesel technology from the OEM be tested and proven as 100% biodiesel compatible. AND, that for any that ISN'T, going back 5 years, the OEM's service center will either modify it to make it so for the consumer who requests it, free-of-charge, or offer the consumer a buy-back.
At some point, I expect to turn this into a campaign, so y'all better be ready to spread the word!!!

Sustainable Biodiesel...
I'm part of a forum dedicated to the Jeep Liberty CRD since I own two of them. These puppies are problematic to say the least - mostly because emissions controls were slapped onto them as a last minute afterthought. Part of the system routes nasty crap into the turbo, the EGR valves are notorious for failing every 20K miles and there are several sensors that need frequent cleaning or the engine simply won't run.
Many of the folks on the forum are diesel mechanics or serious hobbyists and they have figured out a fix for nearly every single problem. One of the guys even created a small circuit board that taps into the ECM and shuts off the EGR (it is NOT needed on the CRD) and then fools the engine into thinking it is on in order to prevent it from throwing a CEL. He has put together a circuit board kit and sold it to hundreds of forum members.
It is truly remarkable what some of the people in these forums can come up with. Think of our own resident genius Graham Laming! Graham, Girl Mark and many others in here have advanced the science and art of brewing significantly in the past 5 years. I guarantee there will be a list of options for dealing with these obnoxious injection oversights within the next few years - probably even kits you can buy. At this point I would side with Legal Eagle: Gut the system & disable it. (I think it is actually a combination of things but as a manufacturing engineer I lean toward thinking these were oversights. Most of them are not familiar with BD so they just designed to what they knew.)
And I'd add that "they designed to what they knew using AS LITTLE new parts as they could"
In otherwords, "Well, we've already got a fuel injector in the system, let's not complicate it, let's just squirt an extra blast of fuel into the piston, vaporize the fuel, & blow it out with an exhaust stroke! Whoala Problem solved! Man, aren't we smart? (as they all pat themselves on the back on the way to the boss man to tell him their plans)"
It was easy to implement, only required a tweak to a software program (the ECU), the addition of two sensors (one fore & one aft of the DPF), and the DPF and catalyst tank.
Problem solved! (or so they thought).
Also, check out how fine of material is in that DPF!
Or shall we call it the Fuel Mileage Robber!
This is what it looks like on a Dodge when you remove it...
Ah, beautiful, ain't it?
OMG! What a fiasco.
I forgot to add, I had breakfast this morning with two dodge mechanics, when I brought up this subject it got very interesting, these guys
HATE those Fing things, they have several trucks a week come in with plugged dpf's or malfunctioning dpf's or trucks not running right because of plugged dpf's, turbo diesels need huge volumes of air and they also need to get rid of huge volumes of air, so what do the geniuses do? Slap on a big old powerful blower up front then plug up the tail pipe with this garbage.
They have actually had new truck owners screaming, eye bulging, spitting mad because their brand new truck gets 2mpg less than the old one because of these things, according to these guys they have service managers at lots of dealerships complaining up the ladder about these things, they knew of two new truck owners who are starting lemon law procedings.
I still don't understand why the EPA had to go from such lax emission standards to the new Tier II Bin 5 Standards. It's a joke!
Don't ya love that DPF material?
Fuel Mileage Power Robbing thing that it is!
And the sad thing, all of the Big 3 did it too!
(And Mercedes, and VW!)
Is it me or does it seem like the EPA just has it out for diesels in the US?
Suffice it to say, I bet the performance shops are doing REALLY WELL right now pulling those DPF's off of new trucks...This message has been edited. Last edited by: Graydon Blair,
If they are, they better not get caught! Stiff fines and penalties for removing and/or disabling emission control equipment in this country. You are not even supposed to do it your self, but ther are few who abide by this law. HTH

You could do the same with an old gas guzzler. But what you would not get is the power and mileage improvements that have come with the advancements in engine controls. Also, you would not get niceities like ABS, Traction control, On Star, or other creature comforts. Personally, I REALLY want to take a nice old big sedan and put a HO diesel in it!

I'm with you Kumar. the question I placed on Obama's site raises just that issue. It has been getting favorable responses as have yours.
The smell of my exhaust makes me hungry!
You might want to correct your thread title to show its 2007 and newer vehicles that have this DPF problem.
YVORMV - Your veg. oil results may vary, see www.burnveg.com/forum
95 Dodge Cummins 4x4
Zero fossil house- 100% solar power and heat.
That is similar to what I had in mind.
Except that 100% of the fuel would be from the lubrication system.
And, I think a "dry sump" as used in race cars would be easier to manage the oil than pulling it out of the oil pan.
Then either veggie oil or biodiesel could be used for lube.
The main problem that people have run into with using veggie as lube seems a relatively short lifespan for the oil with catastrophic results if not renewed.
bullfudge... My '89 Toyota diesel gets 26-28 MPG with NO computer controls, AND meets current emission standards. Don't believe what the marketing mavens con you into thinking.
Gimmicks for the most part, which won't outlive the warranty.
The important features are all available pre 2000 without all the mileage robbing crap controls that this discussion is about.

Birkenstock shoes
Birkenstock footwear prides itself in minimalist designs constructed from premium materials for shoes that promote healthy feet and well-being. The Birkenstock Footbed is fashioned from cork and natural latex to create a contoured foot surface that supports the natural shape of the foot. The result is shoes that naturally mold to each foot's shape for optimal weight distribution, support, and balance. With Birks, feet are revitalized and energized.
A Proud Heritage
How many footwear manufacturers can trace their heritage back four centuries? The basis for Birkenstock shoes goes back to 1774. That was the year Johann Adam Birkenstock offered the first of what would become one of the world's most popular brands. Passing his commitment to excellence on to the generations that followed proved to be a wise move. His great-great-grandson Konrad Birkenstock came up with what was a novel idea at the time. Beginning in 1896, Birkenstock offered the first in a line of footbed inserts.
The innovation didn't stop there. One of Birkenstock's enduring design elements is the footbed itself. That design was created using a simple but effective approach. Using the cast of a food captured in sand, the company created a footbed capable of offering superior support to every inch of the foot from the heel to the toes. Along with providing additional comfort, the footbed design that is still part of Birkenstock sandals also eases stress that causes pain in the ankles and lower legs.
Birkenstock Accessories Carry On the Tradition
Shopping for Birkenstock shoes online means also coming across acessories that go well with the sandals. One of the most popular is the range of slubs made using the finest cotton. Available in a variety of colors, the slubs keep the feet warm during cooler seasons. Pair a set of slubs with shoe designs like the Bartlett Black or Arran Bronze for a look that's attractive and a fit that is truly comfortable for hours.
Designs for All Occasions
While many people think of Birkenstock as appropriate for casual occasions only, the design range is wider than ever. Customers can still have their choice of basic sandals that are ideal for warmer weather. They can also purchase designs like the Arizona Shear Mink or the Boston Shear Mink if they like the look of suede paired with soft fur.
For walking or light exercise, the high top Bartlett design is excellent. Along with the high level of arch support, the shoe design helps to keep the ankle aligned properly even when traveling across rocky terrain.
Looking for something in fun colors for warm weather? The Gizeh and Madrid lines come in everything from soft pinks to neon greens. Walking along the sand or the river bank never felt so good.
Often Emulated But Never Surpassed
Many companies have attempted to replicate the beauty and comfort offered by Birkenstock. While some have come close, no one has equaled or surpassed them yet. Take the time today to shop with us and find a couple of pairs that are right for you. The price for Birkenstock shoes, sandals, and accessories are reasonable, and the quality allows you to enjoy your purchases for many years to come.
Amazing product. It really is very easy to get things ordered here. I'm truly content. Well done walkingonacloud.Anna Q. 4.8 5.0

Online advertising payment model in which payment is based solely based on qualifying sales.
In a pay per sale agreement, the advertiser only pays for sales generated by the destination site based on an agreed upon commission rate.
Paying per sale is often seen as the payment model most favorable to advertisers and least favorable to publishers. In such an agreement, the publisher must not only be concerned with the quality and quantity of his or her audience, but also the quality of the advertiser's creative units and destination site.
If possible, many publishers avoid sales-based agreements, preferring to stick to the CPM model. However, some publishers, facing weak ad sales, have little choice but to accept sales-based agreements to utilize remnant space.
For advertisers, pay per sale has some unique advantages compared to pay per click and pay per lead. There are fewer concerns about whether conversions are legitimate, and whether traffic is incentivized or of low quality.

"How Do You Get from Here to There?" is a Sesame Street song about three common ways of transportation: walking, taking a bus, and flying a plane. It was performed on the show by three Anything Muppets (voiced by Jim Henson, Marilyn Sokol, and Jerry Nelson).
The song was rerecorded for the album What Time Is It on Sesame Street?, with Jerry Nelson, Fran Brill, and Richard Hunt as the Anything Muppets.
Another version of the song was sung by Big Bird on the StoryMagic audio tape for Big Bird's Day on the Farm. This version was later featured on Sing-Along Travel Songs, with added sound effects and additional dialogue from Zoe.

To celebrate its grand opening at its new 8517 Germantown Ave. location, pet boutique Bone Appetit (formerly located at 8505 Germantown Ave.) is exhibiting the pet photography of long-time photographer, teacher and mixed-media artist Lynn Rae Fenimore.
Her portraits of various dogs will run as a seasonally rotating cast in a permanent art installation at the store. Fenimore, 60, a Wynnewood resident, brings decades of photographic experience and stylistic development to a perhaps rather otherwise everyday photographic opportunity. Her finer shots reveal images of pets that almost tell a narrative. There is a longing there, and a delight.
For this series of photographs Fenimore shot close to her subjects using large lenses captured on black and white film. She later used an advanced scanner to transfer and ultimately print the images on large 48-inch by 36-inch canvases.
Fenimore, raised about 30 miles outside of New York City in Scotch Plains, N.J., came to Philadelphia to escape New York and studied printmaking at Moore College of Art. She earned her bachelor's of fine arts in 1974 and four years later earned a second bachelor's degree, this time an art teacher's certification, also from Moore. Her career has been that of a teacher and single mother of two balancing her time off to work on her art, photography and otherwise.
"My main objective when I shoot an animal is to get their spirit," said Fenimore, who has taught various workshops at Woodmere Art Museum and has been the art teacher at Chester County Community School for the past five years, during a recent interview.
The pet photos she has taken demonstrate the eye of a photographer with an intimate relationship with the domesticated. She developed her affinity for pet shots after the Blizzard of 1996, when, stuck in her house for two days she took to photographing Sydney, her Bloodhound. A few years later the same dog attacked her and bit off a part of her nose.
"It actually made me closer to them," said Fenimore.
That closeness has been translated with her shots. Fenimore sometimes coaxes camera-shy dogs with toys and treats the same way young children sometimes require inspiration to sit still and perk up for the camera. But cats, once they become comfortable, are divas.
Once married, later divorced, Fenimore raised her two children, a boy and a girl, on her own. Once her parental responsibilities proved less consuming, she developed more of her art. A decade ago she started Lynn Rae Photography, found a niche and began taking photographs of friends and other clients' pets and grew her business.
Throughout her career her photography has appeared in Black and White Magazine, and over the years her catalogue has grown to include shots of subjects from buildings to shots for the 2008 Obama campaign when the candidate made his trip to Independence Mall in Old City.
Her mixed media artwork can be viewed on Facebook and in her upcoming exhibition at Fleisher Art Memorial, located at 719 Catherine St. in the Italian Market. Lynn also does volunteer work for Main Line Animal Rescue. (And she is also a distant relative of famed 19th century writer James Fenimore Cooper, whose most famous novel was "The Last of the Mohicans.")

Well, we earned a passing grade. Professor David Allan White's critique of our list of great American novels is up at Radioblogger. Professor White largely approves of our list, though he finds that we should have added two books and subtracted another. And John will be pleased to note that Professor White only grudgingly approves of our inclusion of Henry James on the list.
Professor White finds that we erred in omitting The Moviegoer by Walker Percy and Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole — two books that were on the original list that I emailed to John for consideration but forgot about when we sat down to deliberate with Paul over the weekend. I'm not saying the dog ate my homework. Professor White, please believe me. You can ask John.
Although The Moviegoer is most famous as a novel of existential dread and religious yearning, I reread it in connection with Hurricane Katrina because of its setting in New Orleans. The first section takes place in the course of a single day — on Mardi Gras — and by itself is a phantasmagoric narrative masterpiece.
The author of Confederacy of Dunces is John Kennedy Toole. The book coincidentally saw the light of day — over ten years after the author committed suicide — through the efforts of the author's mother and of Walker Percy. Like Percy's The Moviegoer, it is a novel of New Orleans. It is also a comic masterpiece.
As to the novels that we remembered to include on our final list of candidates over at Power Line News for designation as the Great American Novel, Professor White says: "It's a damn good list." And yet: "There are a couple of egregious exceptions."
Thanks to Hugh Hewitt and Professor White.
JOHN adds: The omission of Confederacy of Dunces and Moviegoer may have something to do with the fact that I haven't read either one. Professor White thinks the poll is a "slam dunk" for Moby-Dick:
[Melville] created the one American book of such magnitude, it stands with Homer and Virgil and Dante and Shakespeare.
I'm pleased to see Moby-Dick doing well in our poll; our email traffic suggests that it isn't as widely read as it once was.
UPDATE: Bill Bennett weighs in:
Sure Moviegoer is fine, but it's not Percy's best, it's Percy-lite….how about Love in the Ruins, Lancelot, and Last Gentleman.

Celestial Seasonings (the herb company) and the Citizens Exchange Corps (a non-profit people-to-people program) recently sponsored a three-week, 3,000-mile study-tour of health and nutrition through the Soviet Union. The tour—in between airline travel to and from Russia itself—began in Moscow's Red Square and ended in the northern "white nights" of Leningrad. Most of the trip, however, was spent exploring "the garden of the centenarians" in the Transcaucasian republics of Azerbaijan and Georgia —the ancient, exotic region of the U.S.S.R. between the Caspian and Black Seas where so many people are rumored to live to such ripe old ages.
Sara Pacher, one of MOTHER EARTH NEWS' helpers, went along on the excursion. She reports that, "In search of the ways of the 'long dwellers' of this beautiful, healthful section of the Soviet Union, we met with gerontologists, sociologists, physical therapists, nutritionists, and health spa and farm personnel. Finally, in the small, autonomous republic of Abkhazia on the Black Sea, we even spent some time with a handsome, active 114-year-old tea farm worker who still rides horses and dances in an internationally acclaimed folk group that is mostly made up of centenarians.
"We also discovered, along with modern Russian medicine, a marvelous reliance on the natural cures and techniques found in old Russian folk medicine. 'We first test to see if something works, and then we try to find out why it works,' we were told."
Sara further reports that in the U.S.S.R.—where health care is considered "the property of the people" and is free of charge—an ounce of prevention really is considered to be less expensive than a pound of cure.
"There is a strong emphasis on preventing a disease entirely or arresting it in its early stages," Sara says. "This might involve a four-week 'rest cure' in one of the country's garden-like health spas with a scientifically prescribed regimen of mineral and mud baths. Or electric, sonar, and light therapy. Or inhalation treatments of mineral waters and herbs. Or simply diet, exercise, and climate. The trade unions have found that a sanitarium set up in one of the health resorts can pay for itself in four years with increased worker production and lessened sick leave."
Sara's group also visited a city-run Zona Zdorovia (Health Zone) in Baku on the Caspian Sea. "It was particularly popular with retired people," she notes, "and featured early morning, outdoor exercises accompanied by accordion music, short sea voyages, hiking, and breathing the negatively charged ions of such 'curative' plants as rosemary, geraniums, and laurel. Massages and self-massages, music therapy (singing, to teach proper breathing techniques ... and listening to carefully selected music, to relieve depression and effect cures), and games—volleyball, table tennis, basketball, etc.—were also on the Health Zone program. 'Coordination,' we were told, 'is not lost through old age but through disuse.' "
Still another highlight of the journey through Russia (one that Celestial Seasonings' Mo Siegel probably had a lot to do with) was the spontaneous "herb walks" that took place almost everywhere the group went in the Soviet Union. "Since the region between the Caspian and Black Seas contains over 4,500 species of plants, including 550 wild herbs, these walks occurred at almost any time and in almost any place: within the ruined walls of a pagan temple; above timberline in the majestic Caucasus mountains; on a Black Sea citrus farm; or at any unscheduled bus stop along any country road. These impromptu inspections of the native flora—like so many other spur-of-the-moment things we did—were easy to work into our schedule because, as nearly as I could tell, no 'secret police' followed us around and we were free to come and go as we pleased."
Sara closed her report to the rest of MOTHER EARTH NEWS' staff by noting that, as much as everyone on the trip enjoyed seeing the sights of Russia, the "best part of all" was getting to meet and know some of the multi-racial, multilingual people of the Soviet Union. "They were surprisingly gracious, friendly, generous, and affectionate. And as interested in our manners, clothes, and customs as we were in theirs."
Now we bring this trip up here because, for some time, readers of this magazine have been asking if we have any plans to organize and sponsor tours of this nature.
Well, yes, we do. Which is why we sent Sara (who has both magazine and travel experience) on the trip mentioned here in the first place. It might very well be both interesting and educational if a group of MOTHER EARTH NEWS readers could get together for, say, a journey through the Amazon Basin (to see the environmental damage described by Anne and Paul Ehrlich). Or a visit to the best biodynamic and other "organic" gardens of Europe. Or a tour of Alaska's North Slope to see exactly what changes the oil wells have wrought on the ecology of the area. Or—as outlined here—a firsthand inspection of the health and nutrition of the Soviet Union.
So how about it? Are you interested? If you are, MOTHER EARTH NEWS (and Sara) are all ready to start the ball rolling by setting up another tour of Russia (very much like the one described here) running—tentatively—from May 27 through June 16, 1979.
The cost of this three-week adventure to the U.S.S.R. will be $1,900 per individual. That price includes all air fares and transportation from New York and on return, transfers, double occupancy in first-class hotels, meals, Russian tourist registration fees, and scheduled professional and sightseeing services. MOTHER EARTH NEWS (Sara) will make all the necessary arrangements and she (Sara) guarantees a good time for all. She (Sara) also intends to arrange more visits with those fabled Soviet centenarians the next time around.
If this appeals to you, we'd like to know about it. Send your name and address and a $50 deposit for each member of your party who'd like to join the 1979 Health and Nutrition Tour of the Soviet Union. Although the number of seats for this trip is strictly limited, the $50 deposit per seat will be enough to hold a spot for you. And if, for some reason, you have to change your plans between now and the time the tour leaves, your deposit will be cheerfully refunded, in full.
OK! That's it. Your chance to take an exceptionally, interesting trip with some of the finest people (our other readers) in the world. You've got the ball. Don't drop it!

Kennedy cousin Skakel granted request to relocate GPS device to fit ski boot
Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel, who was released from prison last year after he was granted a new trial in the 1975 slaying of a neighbor, has received approval to have a GPS tracking device temporarily relocated from his ankle while he attends his son's ski competition.
During an earlier ski competition this month, Skakel was unable to accompany his son up the mountain with other parents because his ankle couldn't fit in the ski boot with the bracelet, his attorneys said in court papers. As a result, they said he was required to hike up the mountain alone, which took two to three hours and induced an asthma attack.
"Thankfully, the defendant had his inhaler, otherwise very serious consequences could have resulted while he was alone on a mountain," Skakel's attorneys wrote.
When he reached the peak, Skakel received a message from the GPS monitoring company that the charge on his anklet was low and that he would need to return to the lodge to charge it.
"As a result, the defendant spent the vast majority of his time away from his son, rather than supporting and coaching him, even after having charged the device for the entire previous night and for one hour prior to scaling the mountain," his attorneys wrote.
Skakel received approval to have probation officials relocate the bracelet on his body later this month so he can ski alongside his son, who is competing in state championships at Lake Placid and high school championships.
"The defendant would like to be able to provide his son with the proper parental support and coaching during these competitions without inducing another asthma attack or a more serious condition,'" Skakel's attorneys wrote.
Skakel, the 53-year-old nephew of Robert F. Kennedy's widow, Ethel, had been in prison more than 11 years on a sentence of 20 years to life. A judge ruled in October that Skakel's trial attorney failed to adequately represent him in 2002 when he was convicted in Martha Moxley's bludgeoning with a golf club in wealthy Greenwich when they were both 15.
Prosecutors are appealing the ruling granting him a new trial.

The Philadelphia-based blues band, The Dukes of Destiny, will continue the Pastorius Park Concert Series on Wednesday, July 3. The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the park, Lincoln Drive and W. Abington Avenue
The Dukes of Destiny was formed in 1984 and has built a reputation as a reliable force in local music. The band started out performing at house parties in Germantown before getting a career-making gig at the old Taker's Café in Germantown. The performance at Taker's sparked the group's popularity, and they have been a staple in the Philadelphia music community ever since.
The group's success eventually led to the release of four CDs. Its first CD, titled "The Dukes of Destiny," was released in 1991. It released a second album in 1998, titled "Window Shopping in the House of Forbidden Love." Its third album, "3," came out in 2004, and its most recent CD, "Higher," was released in December of 2012. All four CDs were well-received by critics and fans alike.
The band plays a mix of both traditional Chicago-style blues and RnB and count Muddy Waters, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Chuck Berry among their influences. Covers of songs by each artist are staples in the band's repertoire.
The band is led by singer Arlyn Walters, and harmonica-playing singer John Colgan-Davis. Rich Curtis is the bassist, CC Crabtree plays the saxophone, Bob Holden is the drummer, Richard Adler is the guitarist, and "Chicago" Carl Snyder backs up the band with his keyboard. Although Walters is the main vocalist, other members of the band, such as Colgan-Davis, also sing at times.
This will not be the band's first time playing in Chestnut Hill. It has been part of the Pastorius Park Concert Series for the past few years. The band has also played at the Chestnut Hill Garden Festival and Fall for the Arts. Similar to other bands in the Pastorius Park Concert Series, they frequently play at World Café Live in Philadelphia. They also perform regularly at the Mermaid Inn in Chestnut Hill.
The Dukes of Destiny will be sure to please when they take the stage on July 3, having been gracing the Philadelphia area with their bluesy music for nearly 30 years, and they will surely give their best for the Chestnut Hill faithful.
The rain location for each concert will be at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy's Lower School Auditorium, Cherokee Campus, 8000 Cherokee St. Rain statuses will be posted on chestnuthill.org by 6 p.m. the day of the show.
The concert series is organized and produced by the Chestnut Hill Community Association and made possible by donations from the Chestnut Hill Community Fund and Chestnut Hill Hospital. Further sponsorship is provided by WXPN-FM and the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Department. Be sure to check back with the Local for previews of each band act the week before each concert.

Washington D.C., Nov 8, 2013 / 02:38 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Legislation that would prohibit abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, at which point science indicates that unborn babies are able to feel pain, has been presented in the U.S. Senate.
"At twenty weeks, mothers are encouraged to speak and sing as the baby can recognize the voice of the mother," said Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who introduced the bill at a Nov. 7 press conference.
"The question for the American people is, 'Should we be silent when it comes to protecting these unborn children entering the sixth month of pregnancy? Or is it incumbent on us to speak up and act on their behalf?' I say we must speak up and act."
The House of Representatives passed a pain-capable abortion ban in June by a vote of 228-196. As of its introduction, the Senate legislation was co-sponsored by 33 members of the Senate, including Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), and Marco Rubio (R-Fl.).
Similar fetal pain abortion bans have been enacted at the state level in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma and most recently, Texas.
Graham explained that abortion practices should be reconsidered in light of advances in scientific technology since the Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade, which declared abortion to be protected by the constitution.
"Science and technology have advanced tremendously since 1973," he observed.
"We now know that an unborn child at the twentieth week of pregnancy can feel pain," Graham stated, pointing to the fact that anesthesia has been given to unborn patients during surgery.
"Given these facts and my continued strong support for life," he continued, "I believe there is a compelling interest in protecting these unborn children who are among the most vulnerable in our society. I'm confident that over time the American people and their elected representatives will say yes as well."
Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) joined Graham at the press conference, saying that while public opinion on the legality of abortion is divided, "on one point there is a growing consensus: we must all work together to reduce the number of abortions."
"With all of the innovative medical treatments now available, more Americans are realizing that we are talking about children that deserve protection and overwhelmingly believe that we need a law like this," he added.
"The unborn are the most vulnerable members of our society, and I am committed to ongoing efforts to protect innocent life."
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life legislation group Susan B. Anthony List, also spoke at the Nov. 7 press conference, calling the bill the organization's "top priority."
"What we propose today is simple and foundational: the child in the womb is a member of the human family," she said. "At six months and even earlier that child suffers excruciating pain from the cruel dismemberment of its body or the piercing of its heart."
"Whether we as a nation should continue to authorize and practice the killing of these innocent members of our families is a great civilizational question," Dannenfelser continued. "Anything less is unworthy of us as a free and generous people who wish that resounding phrase 'Equal Justice Under Law' to be something more than an echo of some lost dream."

There are short and sweet proofs of various forms of Stirling's approximation. But even the sweetest among them don't instill the same conviction in the reader as a direct bijective proof.
Computer scientists can often get away with a very weak form of Stirling's approximation:
$$(n/2)^{n/2} \leq n! \leq n^n$$
From this follows
$$(n/2)\ log(n) - (n/2)\ log(2) \leq log(n!) \leq n\ log(n)$$
and therefore $log(n!) = \Theta(n\ log(n))$. This is sufficient to establish the lower bound on comparison-based sorting algorithms and many other asymptotic bounds.
Does anyone know a natural bijective proof of $(n/2)^{n/2} \leq n! \leq n^n$?

North Star Academy High School
North Star Academy is a high- performing, urban charter school located in Newark, NJ that aims to close the achievement gap and prepares students to succeed in college. Our students are primarily low-income and students of color. The school is a Blue Ribbon School, as awarded by the U.S. Department of Education and has been in existence since 1997. More information about the school can be found at the following website (http://www.uncommonschools.org/nsa/…index.html).
The school has identified attachment #3 as an image that provides some context for the type of image they would like to have. This is NOT an image that currently belongs to the school and should not be copied. Rather, it reflects the type of image that has already generated interest among the students and faculty of the school.
The logo should only include the head of a knight only, and should not be an image of a full body of a knight
The school's current logo (attachment #2), can be, but does not need to be included somewhere within the mascot. One idea is that school logo could be included in a marginal way somewhere within the mascot graphic. For example, the logo could be used as a flag held on a pole behind/in front of the knight. This is not a requirement but an idea about how it might be used. The school is also open to other ideas.
If the school's logo is used or included, it cannot be modified in any way. The font, color, proportionality, etc. cannot be adjusted. The font is called Knockout_HTF29-JuniorLiteweight. The navy color is called Pantone 281 U.
Target demographic for mascot – urban middle and high school students, low-income, male, and female students of color, east coast demographic.
The school is a nationally respected and high academic achieving school where 100% of students are admitted to 4 year colleges.
The students at the school live by a set of values that include honor, respect, integrity, dignity, and community service. The knight should not be depicted graphically to be "violent" or "aggressive."
While the school has used the Knight as a type of mascot in the past, the school has never had a graphic image that formally represents or depicts the Knight. Given that the school represents a demographic that is urban, low-income, students of color, the school prefers that the knight NOT reflect traditional European images of knights and knighthood (e.g. Don Quixote, King Arthur).
North Star Academy is a college preparatory high school and so the logo of the knight should simultaneously be sensitive to the school's urban context AND to the school's mission of preparing ALL students for college. Aesthetically, the logo should reflect the school's urban context while imparting a sense of understated refinement associated with a college preparatory school.
Proportionality/Size of Graphic Image – The selected graphic image will be used in multiple contexts but one major use will be for display on the center court of a new basketball gymnasium. The size/proportionality of the image must be able to fit well with the dimensions of the center court space. A layout of the basketball court is attached (attachment #1) for further context.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The UMKC men's soccer team (5-9-3, 3-6 WAC) will host nationally-ranked opponent and conference foe Air Force (13-1-3, 7-0-2 WAC) on Saturday at 1 p.m. CT for the Western Athletic Conference regular-season finale.
At halftime of the match, UMKC's four seniors – Chris Betancourt (Weston, Fla.), Nick Cramer (Wichita, Kan.), Eddie Howe (St. Louis, Mo.) and Eric McWoods (St. Louis, Mo.) – will be recognized for their contributions to the program.
Live stats will be available for fans to follow during UMKC's match, while in-game updates will also be provided for fans through the team's Twitter account. Fans can stream live video of each game for free through the WAC Digital Network.
About the Roos
The 2017 season marks the 20th under the direction of Rick Benben. UMKC boasts a 37-27-6 (.571) record at its home facility and will play the most home matches in a single season at Durwood Soccer Stadium, hosting 11 opponents this season.
As a team, UMKC currently ranks in the top five in the WAC in shots taken (197), goals (25) and shutouts (4). The Roos are third in saves (79), as starting goalkeeper Filippo Errico (Verona, Italy) has tabulated the fourth-most saves per game (4.41) in the league.
The Roos have tacked on at least one goal on the board in 10-consecutive games, which matches the longest streak of its kind since UMKC scored in 10-straight contests during the 2008 season.
In UMKC's 2-1 victory over Grand Canyon (Oct. 20), Errico collected a season and career high nine saves in the net for the Roos. Despite falling 3-1 to UNLV (Oct. 22), the match marked the eighth straight that UMKC has tacked at least one goal on the board, which is the longest stream of its kind since the Roos scored in 10-consecutive contests during the 2008 season.
Junior forward Pandelis Popgeorgiev (Budapest, Hungary) led the offensive charge for the Roos in UMKC's 3-1 loss at Houston Baptist (Oct. 5), as his nine shots fell one shot shy of the program record and tied for second-most in a single game in school history. A total of nine Roos combined for a season-high 29 shots in the game – just four shy of a conference match record in the WAC.
Senior captain Eric McWoods (St. Louis, Mo.) was named WAC Offensive Player of the Week on Oct. 2 for his outstanding performances against UT Rio Grande Valley (Sept. 29) and Incarnate Word (Oct. 1) to help the Roos to a 2-0 start in league play for the first time since the 2012 season. McWoods' hat trick against the Vaqueros is the first for a Roo since the 2010 campaign and the fourth in the WAC this season. His 17 points and seven goals overall ranks second in the conference.
The Roos battled to a 2-2 double overtime draw at Milwaukee (Sept. 12) to notch their third draw in three games. UMKC's three draws so far this year is just one shy of tying the most in a single season by the program.
Errico earned WAC Defensive Player of the Week honors on Sept. 4 after making a season-high seven saves en route to his third consecutive shutout against Rutgers (Sept. 3).
McWoods earned his first career WAC Offensive Player of the Week nod on Aug. 28 after finishing the two game series against Central Arkansas and Northwestern with eight shots, two goals, two assists and six points.
About the Falcons
Air Force currently boasts the top win-loss-tie percentage in the conference (0.853); a mark that ranks the squad fourth-best in the nation. The Falcons are ranked ninth in the Soccer America Top 25, 14th in both the College Soccer News Top 30 and United Soccer Coaches Top 25 and 18th in the Top Drawer Soccer Top 25. Air Force is 20th in the latest RPI rankings released by the NCAA. Senior goalkeeper John Wendt remains one of the nation's best, as he leads the WAC with a 0.631 goals against average.
Up Next
To earn a spot in the WAC Tournament, the Roos must secure a result against the Falcons this weekend. With a win, Utah Valley and UT Rio Grande Valley must lose or draw to keep UMKC's postseason hopes alive. The Roos hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over both Incarnate Word and UT Rio Grande Valley.

30 Day Ride Out Guarantee With this Surfboard - Don't like it? swap it
Firewire FST Potato-Nator 6ft 8 surfboard - White
Product Details
If you regularly charge overhead hollow waves you're still gonna need a performance shortboard, but if your local break generally serves up waist to head high surf then the Potatonator just might be that 'magic stick' we all dream about..
More than happy to perform in waist high slop and perfectly equipped to be snapped around in head high conditions..
The Potatonator has been unbelievably well received, with pretty much across the board rave reviews.
The rapid response flex memory in the Future Shapes Technology used in these boards yields great speed through the turns whilst the parabolic rail configuration guarantees 100% return memory for years.
Firewire surfboards feature some very distinct construction traits that set them aside from other boards currently available:
1) parabolic balsa rails
2) dual density EPS and advanced composite core
The parabolic balsa rails flex at the start of a turn storing energy and rebound through the turn releasing built up energy in the form of speed. The spring back of the parabolic rails to the original rocker triggers rapid acceleration, like an arrow shot from a bow. The construction materials, a unique formulation of hi-tech epoxy resins and advanced composites mean that these boards maintain the lively feel you get with brand new polyurethane boards, but are up to 20% lighter and will last 5+ times longer.
Boardshop is stoked to be a key partner for Firewire surfboards across Europe and beyond, we've been with them since the very start.
Firewire surfboards are more durable than other surfboard manufacturing processes, and for 90% of surfers they will improve your surfing. Firewire is pushing the limits of applying new technology and innovation to surfboard design and always has an eye on the environmental impact of what they do, they truly are different to the other board companies out there.
Firewire have come a long way since the early boards and the range of shapes and tech just gets better and better. A big chunk of the boards in the range are perfectly suited to the waves that 90% of us surf on a regular basis so if you haven't already, give them a try. The staff here have surfed pretty much every board in the Firewire range at some time or another and we speak to surfers from all over the world and get their feedback on how the boards perform in all sorts of conditions so we're well placed to talk about all aspects of Firewire surfboards.

In summer 2010, ultra distance runners Sarah Edson and Molly Fitzpatrick starred in the TV program Amazing Race: China Rush, where they competed with and befriended Maasai warriors Paul Lebeneyio and Francis Merinyi. From that friendship sparked an idea: to host the first-ever ultramarathon in Kenya, the land of distance running, with the intent of promoting girls' education. Thus was born the Amazing Maasai Ultra.One year later, on June 23rd, 2011, 13 international distance runners from eight countries around the globe joined with more than 90 Kenyan runners to compete in the Amazing Maasai Ultra's inaugural half (21km), full (42km), and ultra (75km) marathons. Through race fee proceeds, sponsorships, and donations, the Amazing Maasai Girls Project raised more than US$25,000 to fund scholarships to send 15 local Maasai girls who lack the financial means to attend high school, thus averting a life of arranged marriage and limited economic opportunity.Through race co-founders Sarah and Molly's personal vignettes and race photographer Paul Ark's dynamic marathon images and intimate portraits, the Amazing Maasai Ultra 2011 chronicles the race from inception to the finish line to the awards ceremony, and highlights the cause of girls' education in Kenya. The book is also a travelogue of Paul's safari though Lake Nakuru National Park and Maasai Mara National Reserve, showcasing all the splendor Kenya has to offer.This book is being sold at cost plus a US$10.00 mark-up (including the ebook format). This mark-up is contributed directly to the Amazing Maasai Girls Project in your name and is fully tax deductable as a charitable contribution. In turn, all contributions are earmarked to fund scholarships for highly-qualified but financially-challenged girls to attend the St. Francis Girls' Secondary School in Kenya's Rift Valley. As part of the Blurb For Good program, publisher Blurb will contribute an additional $1 to the Amazing Maasai Girls Project for every book sold!The stunning success and critical praise of 2011's race has paved the way for The Amazing Maasai Ultra 2012's half, full and ultramarathons, scheduled for July 21, 2012. For more information: www.amazingmaasaiultra.org
EXCITING NEWS: The Amazing Maasai Ultra Marathon 2011 raised enough money to send TWENTY GIRLS to school for 4 YEARS. Now, following a detailed selection and interview process, lead by @Solomon Kimani, the girls are buying their new school uniforms this weekend and getting ready to start high school. HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS ACHIEVEMENT!!

Photographer urges North Carolina to 'Let Love Reign' with stunning portraits
March 11, 2014
On May 9, 2012, Catalina Kulczar-Marin watched through social media as old friends and loved ones posted disheartened Facebook statuses about the midterm elections in North Carolina, sharing their grief over the previous day's passage of Amendment 1, a draconian constitutional amendment that banned same-sex couples in North Carolina from marrying and outlawed any other form of family status, including civil union and domestic partnership.
On the day of the election, Catalina was living in New York, where she still lives today with her husband Juan and works as a portrait photographer. But for twelve years, until 2011, North Carolina was her home, and it was disappointing for her to see so many of her friends and family members be disrespected by the Amendment 1 campaign.
Catalina knew the real impact that a law like Amendment 1 would have on same-sex couples and their families - for several years, she worked with couples intimately as she realized her dream photography project: "Let Love Reign," which captures visual representations of love and commitment between same-sex couples and declares a simple statement: No one should be denied dignity because of who they are or who they love.
Through Let Love Reign, Catalina photographed stunning portraits of seven same-sex couples from North Carolina - and since then, she has moved the project to New York City.
Here, Freedom to Marry caught up with Catalina to talk about Let Love Reign, learn more about how images of the love that same-sex couples share can move public opinion forward, and what she hopes for couples in North Carolina and beyond:
What motivated you to start Let Love Reign?
It was summer of 2009, and at that point we already knew that we were moving to New York to pursue our dreams - photography for me and music for my husband Juan. At that point, Proposition 8 was hot and heavy, and I was reading up a lot about it, and I was very upset about it. I strongly feel that two people, regardless of gender, should be able to be married.
I thought of this amazing couple in Charlotte, Tim and Ron (above), and I had this very quick flash where I saw a portrait of Tim and Ron in black and white - like, a billboard. I said to Juan, 'Oh my god, I have this idea...what do you think?' And he told me to go for it.
"I want to scream out loud through my photography and their words and stories. My fire is being fed just by the sheer unfairness of the subject, and I want to do something about it."
Soon thereafter, I went to see Tim and Ron, who own the store in Charlotte to get the coolest gifts. They represent love, they are the ultimate committed couple - at that point they had been together for 26 years and they had owned the store for 21. I asked if they would be willing to sit for me for a portrait, and I explained that I didn't know where this was going, but that they were my inspiration: They represented what I wanted to show.
I get this passion from Tim and Ron - and the entire issue of marriage inequality. It upsets me that Tim and Ron - since it's not legal in North Carolina and many other states - cannot have the same rights in marriage as Juan and I do - social security, inheritance, hospital visitation, and so many other legal aspects. It infuriates me and it makes me sad, and I want to scream out loud through my photography and their words and stories. My fire is being fed just by the sheer unfairness of the subject, and I want to do something about it.
What was the process like in getting the project in front of people?
Tim and Ron helped me find a few other couples, and everyone volunteered: My fairy godmother and project mentor, Crystal helped me through social media to find a filmmaker, the copywriter, who came up with the name for the project, and the couples. A photographer loaned me his studio, his gear, we had a makeup artist, it was incredible. I photographed seven couples in Charlotte.
By the time the site went up, it was summer of 2010, and we had moved to New York. I applied to a grant, because I wanted this billboard to get out of my head. I applied to the Sappi Fine Papers Grant, asking for $10,000, which allowed me enough for a billboard and a photo exhibit.
The day I got the email notification telling me I got the grant was the day that the Let Love Reign website launched. It was within the hour - and that allowed me to have my first exhibit of Let Love Reign in Charlotte, North Carolina, October 2010.
On opening night of the Let Love Reign photography show, All of the couples were there, and it was one of the best nights of my life. My mom was there - she flew up from Florida - and it was just incredible.
One week before that show, my billboard went up for 30 days - on a heavily trafficked highway, and stayed up for three more weeks. That was my goal, and it happened!
How has your personal story - and your own marriage - impacted your work with Let Love Reign?
Juan and I met when we were seniors in college. In my school, it was a very small private college, Queens College, and there were three Latinas, so we made a beeline for each other. One of them was a friend of Juan Miguel's, and they grew up together, so she introduced us. We became great, great friends and hung out for almost two years. One day, we were looking at some of my first rolls of film from a photography class, and something happened. It was a crazy week leading up to falling in love over looking at photographs.
We've been married for eight years now.
We had a very small civil service in one of Juan's aunt's houses, in their living room. My parents and grandparents came up from South Florida.
It was perfect to have the chance to declare that commitment in front of my friends and family. I would love to relive that day - my dad had just beaten cancer for the first time that summer. That Christmas, it was my parents' turn to drive up from South Florida, and since my dad was starting to feel better, Juan and I just looked at each other and said we had to seize the moment. He proposed to me on November 17, and on December 23, we were married. It was perfect.
How has the project changed since you've moved to New York, and what are your plans for the future?
When we moved here, I wanted to continue doing Let Love Reign. So in 2011, that summer, we had another LLR photo shoot. Life happens, so I didn't have another photo shoot until December 2013. But now, I am reinspired and reenergized, and I want to do at least six sessions in 2014- one every other month.
"I want to show that we're all the same: We all love, we all bleed, and we should all have the same rights."
My ultimate goal is to do something like what Andrew Zuckerman did with his book Wisdom - in essence, it's the portrait of the family, along with their story.
With each LLR session, I audio record the couple so that one day, I can transcribe them, and I want to travel the country to each of the 50 states and do this. In my dream world, I earn a grant, rent an airstream camper, and take with me a producer, and a photo assistant, and we drive across country and do portraits in cities across each state.
I want to open people's eyes who might be unwilling to accept this. I want to show that we're all the same: We all love, we all bleed, and we should all have the same rights. I want to make an impression and educate people.


text: Top of Mind: Information at Top Speed September 1, 2010 04:14 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jeanne Bernick Top Producer Editor Email Funding for high-speed Internet in rural America received a boost when USDA announced grants for broadband services nationwide. Telecommunications companies servicing rural towns will receive $1.2 billion from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act this year. That's good news. It means more producers will have access to our new AgWeb.com and TopProducer-Online.com. We talk a lot about the value of our Web sites, including depth of content and user-friendly design. Go online and take a peek. Our navigation is intuitive; you don't have to think about where you're going or what you'll get once you arrive. It's easy, it's concise and it's dummyproof. That's valuable in this age of information overload. Even if you don't have broadband or you're on a slower connection, you can get the same great information, just with fewer pictures and faster load times, using our new AgWeb.com/mobile. Farmers under 35 are invited to stop by TopProducer-Online.com and click on the Young Producers tab. There is news geared toward young growers and their families, including features on beginning farmers and links to the Farm Journal Legacy Project, which offers succession planning resources for transitioning the family farm. You'll find a list of the best ag business colleges in the nation and an exclusive roundup of ag scholarships. There are young farmer discussion boards and blogs. Check out the Tomorrow's Top Producer Seminar page, where we provide articles and speaker summaries, and mark your calendars for next year's seminar, Jan. 25, 2011. Cool Tools. Farmers sometimes tell me that magazines don't deliver timely market information. I argue that we deliver profit-bearing market analysis you can't find anywhere else, but now you can also go online for time-sensitive news. I challenge you to find a better free-market resource than AgWeb.com. E-mail me if you find one. Betcha can't. An example of where we extend beyond the pages is the Hot Links & Cool Tools section of TopProducer-Online.com. Here you'll find the Corn Margins Calculator, which allows you to type in your input costs, acres and yield to determine margins. You can see how your margin shifts if you make a 5% improvement in costs, yield or price. Another tool is The Farm CPA, where you can ask longtime CPA Paul Neiffer a tax question—and get a straight answer. I could go on and on about our beefed-up Web sites, but the important points to remember are that they are screaming fast, they offer one-stop shopping for news and markets and there are plenty of great tools for producers young and old. I encourage you to stop by and take a look for yourself. Jeanne Bernick Editor of Top Producer email@example.com Top Producer, September 2010 Back to news

In 2008 I founded POPOMOMO to solve problems I saw in the fashion industry.
Popomomo believed that sustainability is an important function and purpose of design.
All pieces were designed & made of sustainable materials in Los Angeles. Popomomo was at the forefront of working with new sustainable fabrics and techniques.
Popomomo saw fast-fashion as being wasteful & non- productive: speeding up the fashion cycle for profit, not innovation.
Popomomo stands for post-postmodern movement, the idea that newly created objects should strive to be truly new and unique. Popomomo's line plans were tight and without excess: the line was the antithesis of disposable fashion.
Popomomo loved women and women that love themselves.
Popomomo silhouettes juxtaposed relaxed silhouettes with fitted areas or cutouts, Popomomo shapes created a tension that every wearer controlled. I'm really proud that Popomomo fit and flattered a variety of body types and sizes.
Popomomo knew creative inspiration didn't have to come with a luxury label price tag.
Popomomo drew varied inspiration from the world around us, but came to be very inspired by my adopted hometown of Los Angeles. The line's directional inspirations resulted in beautiful prints and forward looking silhouettes.
In early 2013 I decided to end my experiment, for a variety of reasons both personal and professional.
Since then, I've been working primarily as a Creative Director for fashion lines. I also have been lucky to get to try my hand at two things I've always wanted to do: re-designing a restaurant (Sqirl, in Silverlake), and designing costumes for an upcoming feature film (Grey House). I still live in LA.
Thanks for stopping by the site.
