Do you have ideas for warm-ups, seating arrangments, organization, repertoire, etc.? This is the place to share them!
I love this compilation. Songs include "Built My Lady a Fine Brick House", "Goodbye, Old Paint", "Fed My Horse", "John Kanaka", "The Cat Came Back", "Never Sleep Late!", "The Old Sow's Hide", "Shoo My Love", and "Fourth Day of July". Most songs are in 2 parts, with orff instrument accompaniments. My favourites are "The Cat Came Back" and "Fourth Day of July".
These songs are beautiful! They are also written for 1 to 3 parts and are accompanied by orff instruments. Songs include: "Nouvelles Agreable", "The Holly and the Ivy", "Sing Lullaby on This Christmas Night", "Silent Night", "Holiday Round", and "Noel Nouvelet". Great for grades 3 to 6.
This tiny book is awesome! It has 55 canons - and they are beautiful - they work really well. This book is available at Empire Music.

Retinol is often used to treat severe wrinkles and sun damage.
If juicing is the trend health fanatics can't seem to let go, retinol is the ingredient youth-obsessed individuals won't stop slathering onto their faces.
Retinol is a synthetic derivative of vitamin A commonly used in topical skincare products that reduce fine lines, target stretch marks and fade dark spots from sun damage. The prescription version, Retin-A, is a much stronger and more powerful alternative for treating severe acne, scarring and wrinkles.
"The reason so many people use retinol is because it is a keratolytic treatment that dissolves dead skin layers. By doing that, you're allowing new skin layers to come through smoother and softer," says Tabasum Mir, a skincare physician in cosmetic dermatology and cosmetic laser surgery.
While traditional exfoliators (i.e. St. Ive's Apricot Scrub or Clarisonic facial brush) scrub away dead skin cells at the surface, Mir is quick to note that retinol works on a much deeper level.
People who use treatments containing retinol often experience drastic skin peeling and redness. "This is absolutely normal," says Mir. "It does taper over time but that doesn't mean it won't happen again at any point."
The dermatologist believes there is very little you can do about the peeling besides cleansing with a gentle face wash and maintaining hydration with moisturizer. However, there are a few things you should absolutely not do.
Mir strongly cautions against using retinol during the day. Why? "During the daytime, your skin needs to be protected and you do that with antioxidants and sunblock," she says. Otherwise, you're causing more damage because your skin is extremely sensitive and porous. When exposed to environmental elements it can lead to sun and wind burn.
If you have really oily skin, enlarged pores and frequent breakouts, Mir says you're perfect for retinol treatment.
If you are someone who is fair-skinned or has really sensitive skin, you would need to be extra diligent about retinol use. Got any form of skin lesions? You should definitely ask your doctor before incorporating retinol into your skincare regimen.
If you're in your 20s and/or have very little to no physical signs of aging, Mir recommends using glycolic creams instead of retinol to maintain the "youthful" look and feel of your skin.

Watering lawns and landscape plants can account for up to 50% of an average homeowner's total water use. Watering a typical 5,000 square-foot yard with an in-ground sprinkler system could cost more than $10 per application.
By properly creating and maintaining a water-efficient sprinkler system, you can reduce water usage while maintaining an attractive landscape.
Normal wear and tear of your sprinkler system can lead to malfunctions and water waste. Efficient water use requires simple but ongoing maintenance.
The first step is to perform a routine visual inspection of your sprinkler system. Frequency should depend on property usage. For instance, inspections should be performed more frequently on property heavily used by children or pets.
During the visual inspection, you should ensure that the system functions properly. Look for broken, missing or worn parts. Also check for any leaks and obstructed sprinkler heads. Be sure to properly fix any problems.
Periodically inspect plants for the signs of overwatering or underwatering. Applying the right amount of water to your landscape can yield substantial water savings and better plant growth.
Prolonged periods of standing water can harm and possibly kill plants.
Leaves may yellow, brown or drop prematurely.
Individual branches may die back.
Leaves turn yellow or light green.
Leaves may droop, even when water is applied.
Roots are wet, mushy, and dark brown to black.
Soil around roots is moist to the touch, yet plant still droops.
Dry plants suffer stresses that cause damage to roots, leaves and stems.
Leaves turn pale or light green.
Leaves may turn brown, starting on the edges.
Stems have a wrinkled look and turn yellow or brown.
Soil around roots feels dry.

We are well in the midst of festival season, and maybe you’ve already had your fill of partying until sunrise, dancing while lights flash, and eating from food trucks. If, however, you’re still gearing up for the festival of the year, this one’s for you.
It can be tricky to plan for a festival. If you’re getting together a group of friends, everyone has to pitch in to make the whole thing go off without a hitch. Whether you’re the group organizer or just the fun-loving friend along for the ride, it’s good to know what you can do to help the group before the big event.
People can be quite tricky to pin down, especially when it comes down to a big event that requires plunking down a large amount of money. But you don’t want to wait for everyone to be on board before buying tickets, for fear they might sell out. There are a few ways you could do it. Everyone could buy their own ticket in their own time, ensuring that no one can blame another person if they don’t get to go. Or one person can buy a block of tickets, then acting as the group leader. That means everyone has to either be responsible to pay the group leader back in a timely manner or find another person to take their spot. You can also make it easy on yourself and use WeTravel to create your group trip to a festival, ensuring that everyone who wants to go puts in the right amount of money.
Once you know who’s in your group, you can make a list of things to buy. Make sure you get enough supplies for everyone who’s coming. If the festival you’re going to will have food there, maybe you’ll want to bring less than at a festival where food is a BYO affair. Also considering food, you’ll want to have a way to cook it, store it, and make sure it doesn’t go bad. Also you should get enough trash bags to keep garbage together for easier removal at the end of the festival. Consider where you’ll be sleeping. Do you need to buy or rent a tent? Will you be renting a recreational vehicle specifically for the festival? What will you be sleeping on? Sleeping bags? Air mattresses? Make sure you have everything you might need.
After you make your list of supplies, divide the list by how many people there are in the group. Everyone can be responsible for buying or bringing some things from the list. That way no one feels too put out. When you make your list, keep in mind things that people in the group may have already.
No one wants to feel like they’ve contributed more than someone else in the group. Keep accurate records of what was spent by whom. You can either have everyone chip in an equal amount in the beginning and then add as necessary, or one person can buy everything and get reimbursed afterwards. If you organize your trip using WeTravel, our platform will take care of all of that for you.
Festivals can be inherently wasteful. What is supposed to be a celebration ends with loads of garbage strewn about the festival site. That leaves workers to clean up your mess. To say nothing of the single use items you may be consuming during the festival. There are ways to make your festival experience as eco-friendly as possible, though. Instead of buying lots of smaller water bottles, buy a few large jugs and reusable water bottles to keep refilling. Try to buy the recycled version of disposable eating supplies. And speaking of recycling, make sure you separate out your recyclables from your garbage so you can make sure to send them to the right facility after the festival is over.
Will you be coming from near or far? Will you be meeting in one spot to travel to the festival together or all meeting there? You might want to have a set meeting spot to ensure that everyone comes together at the right time and eliminate confusion. Everyone likes to experience a festival in different ways. Some people like to sleep all day and party all night. Some people like to get everything they can out of the daylight hours. Some people don’t like to miss even one moment! Just because you’re traveling to the festival and staying together as a group doesn’t mean you all need to do the exact same thing at the same time. Or maybe that’s exactly what you’d like to do! Just make sure that everyone in the group has a say in how their festival experience goes. It doesn’t hurt to have a conversation before the festival about everyone’s expectations. That way you can respect one another’s independence to have their own agenda.
There are a lot of moving parts to figure out when you get a group together to attend a festival. To make your job easier, you should consider using WeTravel’s planning platform to plan for a festival group trip. WeTravel will take care of everything from counting how many people are coming to ensuring everyone pays their fair share. It takes away a lot of the stress of planning a group trip to a festival, so that you can just show up and enjoy the experience with your friends!

With extremely expensive Sony-fit 85mm lenses in abundance and beyond my (economically sensible) reach, I’ve done good commercial work last year on the Canon 85mm f/1.8 USM and later the Sony 85mm f/2.8 SAM on A7RII. Some of my work relies on showing close-up details with strong differential focus, and hardly any lenses are free from ‘colour bokeh’ issues, so it’s needed some care to process the files and avoid that typical magenta tinge to the background and greenish hue to foreground blur.
This is a typical example. It’s on the Canon 85mm f/1.8, and although this is a fairly clean lens, the background at f/4 needed some post-process work to avoid a magenta colour shift.
In contrast, absolutely no work is ever needed on my Sigma 70mm f/2.8 macro. It shows no chromatic effects in defocused areas. But this is a studio shot at f/10 – and, like many commercial shots, the extreme f/1.4 or f/2 apertures which are so highly valued by the bloggerati simply don’t enter the equation. Differential focus here is precisely balanced against the legibility of the bottle wording at web size (these shots are for a 1440 pixel wide template).
I like to have a choice of wider aperture and macro lenses for this kind of work as they all produce different effects. My 70-210mm f/4 Minolta AF classic, for example, has about the cleanest foreground blur wide open on 0.25X scale 210mm close ups. My 85mm SAM is ‘dirty’ by comparison (but its 60cm 0.20X minimum focus distance still makes it the best 85mm for close work unless you use a macro or a zoom with good close range). Then, we get the Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 popping up followed now by the costly Sony G-Master 85mm f/1.4 FE. In both cases you get 80cm minimum focus and around 0.12X image scale (rather like the 70-200mm f/4 Sony G FE lens used at 190mm and 1m focus).
I really like, on a full-frame camera, to reach one quarter life size on the sensor. One-eighth, the 0.12-0.125X type of scale, means a full A4 magazine page fills the frame. One-quarter, 0.25X, means a quarter of that page or a postcard size fills the frame. There are so many things in the world, from a kitten’s face to a lily in bloom or a perfect cup cake, which are about this size. When I photograph food I often want to avoid including the edges of the plate completely. Those lenses which push me back too far prevent that. I know many users will be puzzled by my preference and see no reason to want to get any closer. Well, that’s just me. I have always done well creatively and commercially from surprisingly tightly cropped, close-up work.
And, being more critical of these new hyper-expensive lenses, we’ve had 80cm focus 85mm lenses for SLR focusing for 70 years now. Really, any new lens in this focal length should focus to 60cm or ideally 50cm without calling itself a macro. That suits the way we live, in our cars, at desks, at home, at tables, in small spaces, giving other people space. I really like to be able to place an item in front of me, or even hold it in my hand, and focus on it. I can’t do that at all with 1m minimum focus (the old rangefinder Leica standard!) and only just with 60cm.
Then I started seeing some work taken on an interesting old lens. It’s small, taking 49mm filters. It is fast, at f/2. It was originally designed by Carl Zeiss and if you were really lucky you might find an 85mm f/2 Sonnar. But for around £100/$150 or a little more for guaranteed condition you can buy the Russian Jupiter 9 85mm f/2 manual preset lens in M42 screw (Pentax/Praktica). And since it’s a screw mount SLR lens, you can add an extra layer of focus extension for very low cost between the E-mount body and the lens.
Above: my Jupiter-9 with Camdiox helical Pentax screw E-mount adaptor fully extended and with a vital lens hood fitted; top, the mount and lens set for infinity focus, lens hood removed.
So last week I assembled a relatively low-cost eBay rig to enable even closer focus than the 60cm of the SAM . This is partly just experimental, our of curiosity to see how well a 1930s Sonnar type design made in 1980s Russia with 1950s technology and coatings can peform. The 85mm f/2 Jupiter-9 is often used to get an attractive f/2 soft-focus with core sharpness, gradually cleaning up until around f/3.5 the softness is gone. It is also used to get neat circular bubbles from strongly out of focus light sources beyond the subject, or a generally very attractive focus transition at any aperture since the 19-blade mechanical iris forms an almost perfect circle at all settings. It focuses slightly closer than 80cm.
With the well-made Camdiox helical adaptor costing under £28 delivered, this is extended in a continuous range to 35cm from the film plane and 0.51X. Obvously, it takes up no more space than my plain M42 adaptor as it is exactly the same thickness at infinity setting – and it does allow true infinity focus. Being solid metal, the combination is not all that light, a dense 490g in its 88mm long by 63mm maximum diameter, 20g more than the Batis. But it feels good. The aperture mechanism is crude and difficult to see and use, but would normally be set first to a chosen aperture such as f/2.8 for the best sharpness with a shallow depth of field, or f/8 for landscapes. It would not be much fun for anyone who likes taking a range of shots from f/2 to f/16, or for anyone wanting accurate half or third stops.
This was never intended to be seen, just a casual target. These pictures open out to Facebook size, by the way, when clicked – 2048 pixels. Here’s a 100% pixel friendly section from this. I was surprised. The lens was at f/4 and focus was done at max magnification, at the taking aperture.
You need to check this JPEG out by clicking to open/view at 100%. It’s like this right across the frame, corner to corner. There’s a pleasant dimensional quality to the rendering this old lens gives, but it has one massive failing – it flares up dramatically if any light at all reaches the front glass. The only solution is a very deep lens hood indeed.
Making more considered tests, I headed for a target I had set up to explore colour bokeh, that unpleasant magenta to green shift in defocused areas. With this set-up, my 85mm SAM is not bad at all and does benefit from a proper lens profile. As you can see, the music doesn’t seem to change much in colour from front to back though in the full size 42 megapixel file, especially without lens CA corrections, some funky colours do appear.
The colour shifts are different, with a bit of a rainbow including red and cyan fringes as well as magenta and green, and the contrast is lower. However, the detail in the very limited f/2.8 focus zone is very fine and over a range of tests the blurring (from the circular aperture) just looks better. No doubt I need to take many more shots with this lens (once the deep 200mm lens hood I’ve found arrives…) but it seems like a worthwhile creative option alongside a number of older manual lenses.
What really interests me is that this same design, with a few refinements of modern manufacture, would surely be worth having. Tamron’s forthcoming 85mm f/1.8 will focus close – it is the special feature of this new lens series – and maybe along with the 35mm and 45mm f/1.8 designs will one day appear in native E-mount. I’d love to see a half-price Batis, a Sonnar f/2 variant instead of f/1.8, with a decent close focus limit around 50cm. Until then I’ll use the SAM on LA-EA3 or LA-EA4 (works well with either) and my assortment of manual set-ups including this Jupiter-9.
Here’s a revision to the post, got some sunshine this morning (day after writing the original post) and with focus peaking and f/5.6 even a little moving target comes out whisker-sharp!

i really like, on a full-frame camera, to reach one quarter life size on the sensor. one-eighth, the 0.12-0.125x type of scale, means a full a4 magazine page fills the frame. one-quarter, 0.25x, means a quarter of that page or a postcard size fills the frame. there are so many things in the world, from a kitten’s face to a lily in bloom or a perfect cup cake, which are about this size. when i photograph food i often want to avoid including the edges of the plate completely. those lenses which push me back too far prevent that. i know many users will be puzzled by my preference and see no reason to want to get any closer. well, that’s just me. i have always done well creatively and commercially from surprisingly tightly cropped, close-up work.
and, being more critical of these new hyper-expensive lenses, we’ve had 80cm focus 85mm lenses for slr focusing for 70 years now. really, any new lens in this focal length should focus to 60cm or ideally 50cm without calling itself a macro. that suits the way we live, in our cars, at desks, at home, at tables, in small spaces, giving other people space. i really like to be able to place an item in front of me, or even hold it in my hand, and focus on it. i can’t do that at all with 1m minimum focus (the old rangefinder leica standard!) and only just with 60cm.
then i started seeing some work taken on an interesting old lens. it’s small, taking 49mm filters. it is fast, at f/2. it was originally designed by carl zeiss and if you were really lucky you might find an 85mm f/2 sonnar. but for around £100/$150 or a little more for guaranteed condition you can buy the russian jupiter 9 85mm f/2 manual preset lens in m42 screw (pentax/praktica). and since it’s a screw mount slr lens, you can add an extra layer of focus extension for very low cost between the e-mount body and the lens.
above: my jupiter-9 with camdiox helical pentax screw e-mount adaptor fully extended and with a vital lens hood fitted; top, the mount and lens set for infinity focus, lens hood removed.
so last week i assembled a relatively low-cost ebay rig to enable even closer focus than the 60cm of the sam . this is partly just experimental, our of curiosity to see how well a 1930s sonnar type design made in 1980s russia with 1950s technology and coatings can peform. the 85mm f/2 jupiter-9 is often used to get an attractive f/2 soft-focus with core sharpness, gradually cleaning up until around f/3.5 the softness is gone. it is also used to get neat circular bubbles from strongly out of focus light sources beyond the subject, or a generally very attractive focus transition at any aperture since the 19-blade mechanical iris forms an almost perfect circle at all settings. it focuses slightly closer than 80cm.
with the well-made camdiox helical adaptor costing under £28 delivered, this is extended in a continuous range to 35cm from the film plane and 0.51x. obvously, it takes up no more space than my plain m42 adaptor as it is exactly the same thickness at infinity setting – and it does allow true infinity focus. being solid metal, the combination is not all that light, a dense 490g in its 88mm long by 63mm maximum diameter, 20g more than the batis. but it feels good. the aperture mechanism is crude and difficult to see and use, but would normally be set first to a chosen aperture such as f/2.8 for the best sharpness with a shallow depth of field, or f/8 for landscapes. it would not be much fun for anyone who likes taking a range of shots from f/2 to f/16, or for anyone wanting accurate half or third stops.
this was never intended to be seen, just a casual target. these pictures open out to facebook size, by the way, when clicked – 2048 pixels. here’s a 100% pixel friendly section from this. i was surprised. the lens was at f/4 and focus was done at max magnification, at the taking aperture.
you need to check this jpeg out by clicking to open/view at 100%. it’s like this right across the frame, corner to corner. there’s a pleasant dimensional quality to the rendering this old lens gives, but it has one massive failing – it flares up dramatically if any light at all reaches the front glass. the only solution is a very deep lens hood indeed.
making more considered tests, i headed for a target i had set up to explore colour bokeh, that unpleasant magenta to green shift in defocused areas. with this set-up, my 85mm sam is not bad at all and does benefit from a proper lens profile. as you can see, the music doesn’t seem to change much in colour from front to back though in the full size 42 megapixel file, especially without lens ca corrections, some funky colours do appear.
the colour shifts are different, with a bit of a rainbow including red and cyan fringes as well as magenta and green, and the contrast is lower. however, the detail in the very limited f/2.8 focus zone is very fine and over a range of tests the blurring (from the circular aperture) just looks better. no doubt i need to take many more shots with this lens (once the deep 200mm lens hood i’ve found arrives…) but it seems like a worthwhile creative option alongside a number of older manual lenses.
what really interests me is that this same design, with a few refinements of modern manufacture, would surely be worth having. tamron’s forthcoming 85mm f/1.8 will focus close – it is the special feature of this new lens series – and maybe along with the 35mm and 45mm f/1.8 designs will one day appear in native e-mount. i’d love to see a half-price batis, a sonnar f/2 variant instead of f/1.8, with a decent close focus limit around 50cm. until then i’ll use the sam on la-ea3 or la-ea4 (works well with either) and my assortment of manual set-ups including this jupiter-9.
here’s a revision to the post, got some sunshine this morning (day after writing the original post) and with focus peaking and f/5.6 even a little moving target comes out whisker-sharp!

Today is the day to call your U.S. representative and ask them to stand up against assault on Customer Service Agents at U.S. airports.
Across the country, an increasing number of Airline Customer Service Representatives are being physically assaulted on a daily basis. Some of these injuries have been life-altering.
Tell your representatives to support Rep. John Garamendi’s (CA) amendment to the 21st Century Aviation Innovation, Reform, and Reauthorization Act (H.R. 2997). This amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Bill would require all commercial airlines to adopt an “Employee Assault Prevention and Response Plan so Customer Service Agents get much-needed protection from physical and verbal abuse.
Tell Congress we need to protect Airline Customer Service Representatives now!

Are you tired of looking at those flabby arms? Do you wish you had the supple and firm skin that would make people compare you to Charlize Theron or Angelina Jolie? If you do, then you’ve come to the right place!
People who have undergone dramatic weight loss or a gastric bypass, will often observe the skin on their upper arms sags loosely to give the arms a flaccid appearance. Of course, this sagging can also happen with aging. The surgical procedure used as a treatment for this condition is known as an upper arm lift. An upper arm lift, technically known as a brachioplasty, is used to shape the skin beneath the upper arm to create it a healthy and tightened appearance.
Do I Need an Arm Lift?
Although few people actually ‘need’ to get an arm lift, most people who exhibit classic skin laxity may want to get one. It all eventually comes down to your personal preference and how you perceive yourself.
If you live in the South West of the United States, and you have decided that an El Paso arm lift is the procedure you want, then board certified, award winning Dr. Frank Agullo of Southwest Plastic Surgery, is the person who can make it happen. When it comes to plastic surgery, he possesses expertise in El Paso, Texas, and you will be pleased to learn that he was trained at the prestigious and highly competitive Mayo Clinic in Rochester, and is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery.
They exhibit laxity in their upper arms which could be due to old age, in which case the loose skin can be quite bothersome for some people.
They have excess fatty tissue in the upper arms, that with time seems to hang lower and lower. They often see these features in family members.
They have undergone weight loss, which may be due to a gastric bypass and has left an excess of skin and fat on their upper arms, giving them a characteristic ‘bat-wing’ appearance.
They are generally healthy, non-smoking individuals with no serious medical conditions who just want to look better.
Current statistics by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery recorded an astonishing 22,969 arm lift surgeries in 2012! Fifteen years ago, in 1997, the same figure was 2,516. Furthermore, almost all procedures were performed on females. What do you say, ladies? Has your interest been piqued, yet?
At Southwest Plastic Surgery, Dr Agullo offers full consultations on the procedure and will explain everything you need to know about getting an arm lift. You can ask any questions you may have and due to the geographics of the region, Southwest Surgery Plastic understands that not all patients would be comfortable communicating in English. That is why Dr. Agullo speaks Spanish and English fluently.
You will be told how to prepare for the surgery, what the actual procedure entails, what the recovery period is like and what the possible risks associated with such a procedure are. Rest assured, however, with Southwest Plastic Surgery, you will be in more than capable hands. In preparation for the surgery we will determine whether it is recommended that you consult your primary physician for preoperative evaluation.
You should also inform the doctor prior to the surgery of any drugs and medication you might be taking such as vitamins, herbal medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs, which make post surgery healing difficult, and discontinue their use. If you smoke, then you will have to stop before undergoing surgery. Once you are satisfied that you meet the criteria for a good candidate for an arm lift, you will be given a date on which the surgery is scheduled.
Dr. Agullo has special interests in body contouring, breast enhancement and facial rejuvenation. He has published many internationally acclaimed papers and presentations in this area, and has also received several awards from his peers for the quality of his work, as well as the individualized care he provides patients.
Based on his general assessment, you may have to undergo either a liposuction, removal of extra skin or removal of tissue, or a combination of liposuction of the arms and removal of the excess sagging skin. These are arranged according to the severity of your condition.
Mini arm lift – If you have a minimal amount of excess skin, good skin quality and no fatty tissue, then a small incision will be made at the axillary fold. Liposuction may also be used in this case, which leaves very small scars.
Short arm lift – If you have a mild amount of excess skin and tissue, then a T-shaped scar will be left. A transverse incision will be at the axillary fold, and a longitudinal incision from the axilla to the mid-arm.
Standard arm lift – This is the most widespread arm lift procedure and treats moderate to excessive skin or fatty tissue on the upper arm. The scar extends from the axilla to the elbow.
Extended arm lift – This is for the most severe cases, where the accumulation of skin or fatty tissue is excessive, such as is typically seen in patients who have had a gastric bypass. In this case, the scar extends from the elbow to the lateral chest.
After that, the incisions will be brought together to give the arm a more taught, supple and smoother appearance. The full procedure takes nearly 2 hours. Absorbable sutures will be used on the incision in such a way as to minimize scarring, and a sterile dressing will be placed.
Needless to say, most patients do not experience these symptoms, as Dr. Agullo takes the utmost care to ensure that all procedures are performed with the highest standards of safety.
The Southwest Plastic Surgery doctor says that the scars will take almost a year to completely heal, but the results are almost immediately visible after the surgery. As long as your weight does not drastically drop, no excessive skin will accumulate and your arms will maintain their healthy look for years. Upper arm skin may tend to loosen again due to aging, but you will not see the pre-surgery laxity. You can go home the same day and you will be given a compression garment, antibiotics to avoid the risk of any infection, and pain medication.
The general recovery period is one to three weeks, but swelling and bruising will persist even with the compression garment, for up to four weeks. At home, you are encouraged to use pillows to keep your arm elevated above your heart to reduce swelling.
Eating appropriately is also very important at this point. It is recommended that you eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and foods rich in lean protein, but low in sodium. This is because sodium increases swelling. You may also experience slight pain, swelling and tingling in the hands and arms, but this will subside over time. If however, any of these conditions persist or become more severe, then it is advisable to immediately consult a doctor and consider further treatment.
The surgeon at Southwest Plastic Surgery is always willing to help his patients, especially during the recovery phase, and so Southwest Plastic Surgery serves a wide area of the American South West. It serves cities in West Texas including Amarillo, Horizon City, Midland and Odessa. In the state of New Mexico, the cities include, Las Cruces, Alamogordo, Albuquerque, Silver City and Ruidoso. As a completely bilingual practice, it also caters to the cities of Chihuahua and Ciudad Juarez in Northern Mexico.
The technique used by the surgeon will vary depending on the extent to which the excess skin and fatty tissue is spread and is causing laxity. This will determine the price, but generally, the arm lift will cost you between $6,000 – $9,000. Some people choose to have other procedures combined with their arm lift such as liposuction, mastopexy, and lower body lift, which may increase the total cost.

The Ellis-Beauregard Fellowship awards $25,000 to a Maine artist working in the visual arts and is paired with a solo exhibition at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, a scholarly publication and a gallery talk.
Artist, educator, and activist Erin Johnson received a $25,000.00 fellowship award paired with a solo exhibition at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art. Johnson is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Digital Media with a joint appointment in the Visual Arts Department and the Digital and Computational Studies Program at Bowdoin College. In 2013, she earned an MFA in Art Practice and Certificate in New Media from U.C. Berkeley. She makes interdisciplinary, collaborative projects that blend documentary, experimental, and narrative practices to explore social, political, and geographical imaginaries.
“Erin is not only a fine individual; gregarious, with a sparkling intelligence, she is diligent and passionate regarding her work,” states Donna McNeil, Executive Director of the Ellis-Beauregard Foundation. “She is one of the burgeoning number of artists addressing, through the language of art, the hard issues of the day. She spent her holiday volunteering at the US-Mexico border, she is researching species loss for her next big project, and more. I believe curators are responding strongly to artists who present through a compelling thesis without compromising beauty. We are enormously proud of the work she does and we are not alone."
The 2018 jurors were Michelle White, Senior Curator at the Menil Collection in Houston, TX ; Marshall Price, PhD, Nancy A. Nasher and David J. Haemisegger Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University; and Marcela Guerrero, Assistant Curator, Whitney Museum, N.Y.
Marcela Guerrero, curator at the Whitney Museum, NY states, "I feel fortunate to have encountered the work of Erin Johnson through the jurying of the 2019 Ellis-Beauregard Fellowship in the Visual Arts competition. Johnson's work stood out from the other applicants in her innovative approach to video art. Her works demonstrate a meticulous process of research combined with smart narrative lines. I was particularly impressed as well by her eye for the installation and display of her video works, often placing the screens on the floor or at unconventional levels, which further emphasize the landscapes and stories told in her works. I'm excited for the future of Johnson's art practice and look forward to seeing her exhibition at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art."

The recipient of our annual inaugural $25,000.00 unrestricted Ellis-Beauregard Fellowship award in the visual arts for a Maine artist; artist team, Wade Kavanaugh of Bethel, Maine and Stephen B. Nguyen of Portland, Maine, were selected through a blind jury process from of pool of more than two hundred applicants by two thoughtful and esteemed curators: Jeffrey Peabody, Vice President and Director, Matthew Marks Gallery in New York City and Alison de Lima Greene, Isabel Brown Wilson Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The award reflects the vision of it's founders David Ellis and Joan Beauregard put forth to support artists with the precious gift of time and to encourage, expand and sustain the courageous and imaginative dialogue that is fundamental to the arts. The Ellis-Beauregard Foundation celebrates the value of art to transcend cultures and engage with diverse communities.
“The award is truly a defining moment for the Foundation," noted Ellen Golden, President of the Ellis Beauregard Foundation Board, "consistent with our goal of supporting artists and communities."
Juror Alison de Lima Greene states “I am profoundly grateful to the Ellis-Beauregard Foundation for creating this opportunity to review the work of so many talented Maine artists. As always, the jury process was a voyage of discovery, one which encompassed an array of media across all disciplines in the visual arts. "The work of Wade Kavanaugh and Stephen B. Nguyen stood out among that of their peers for its sophisticated use of materials, its thoughtful evolution, and essential beauty. At the same time, the artists’ dramatic evocation of the power and fragility this planet’s biosphere is both timely and urgent."

It’s immediately clear that Parquet Courts aren’t done now, not by a long chalk. Based in Brooklyn, Savage and his bandmates – guitarist and fellow songwriter Austin Brown, bassist Sean Yeaton and Savage’s younger brother Max on drums – have been releasing excellent punk-rock records defined by venom, groove and lyrics that make you wish you read more books since their 2011 debut ‘American Specialties’.
If 2012’s ‘Light Up Gold’ woke the world up to a group that many touted as the latest answer to The Strokes, ‘Wide Awake!’ is an indelible underlining of their status as one of the most important bands in the world right now. Before we continue, a mildly surprising fact: this record was produced by 19-time Grammy nominee Danger Mouse, whose CV includes The Black Keys, A$AP Rocky, Norah Jones. Far from softening Parquet Courts’ edges, he has enhanced everything that makes the quartet great – sound, imagination, style. The Beastie Boys, Black Flag and Talking Heads are all here in spirit.
‘Violence’ is the first standout, a mazy, bassy call to arms. Like many of Parquet Courts’ best songs, it functions as an alarm clock, a cattle prod. “Violence is daily life,” they chant, Savage considering the “pornographic spectacle of black death” that is the human condition. But the frontman is there for the listener too, offering us his hand as he spits, “Savage is my name because Savage is how I feel… My name belongs to us all… My name is a threat”.
This band have long articulated the inertia of acclimatising to adult life, and ‘In And Out Of Patience’ – a classic Parquet number – does so almost flippantly. “I’m neither here nor there,” muses Savage. It’s there again on the breakneck ‘Extinction’, Savage poking fun at his daily existence (“I’m trying not to turn into a psychopath”) over impatient guitars.
Austin Brown’s contributions (‘Mardi Gras Beads’’ dreamy textures, the spacey, desperate ‘Back To Earth’, maudlin jam ‘Death Will Bring Change’) take their time with their introspection, but cut just as hard. By the time the record spins through the pepped-up ‘Freebird II’, the irresistible carnival feel of the title-track and the piano-driven stomp of closer ‘Tenderness’, you’re left winded by its brilliance.
Parquet Courts are a magical band that make you feel everything all at once: youth, nostalgia, happiness, desolation, flying high, running low. The record’s last line, then, is fitting, Savage calling for “the fix of a little tenderness”. But where would the thrill be in that?
