after following the Evelyn Evelyn controversy for a while, and venting to The Husband about it, he suggested that I write a blog. my argument was that my blog is pretty much solely about children, culture, politics and general domestic pursuits. however, after thinking about it, the fact that this controversy has even arisen says something about our culture, and the culture that our children will be growing up in. so I felt I had to stand up, in defense of story.
I've been a Jason Webley ( www.jasonwebley.com ) fan for about 8 years now. I've been a Dresden Dolls ( http://www.dresdendolls.com/main1.htm ) fan since he started touring with them and I checked them out on the theory that anyone that Jason Webley works with is badass (including the Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band {http://www.bigdamnband.com/}).
so, when I heard Jason Webley and Amanda Palmer were involved in a project together, Evelyn Evelyn, I was immediately curious. after doing some research on myspace ( www.myspace.com/evelynevelyn ) and youtube, I was incredibly entertained. also, as a long-time Webley fan, I was cynical. this is, after all, the man who faked his own death annually, and I witnessed it several times. I was never emotionally distressed, though I did get emotionally involved in those shows. however, it was always through appreciating the value of story. he was telling an incredible story. I never saw it as a mockery of people who had actually died, or even as insensitive. it's always been art, and story.
Story: "a narrative, either true or fictitious, in prose or verse, designed to interest, amuse, or instruct the hearer or reader; tale."
is Jason Webley the first person to tell a story without mentioning that it was fictitious? hell no! telling stories this way is an age-old tradition. C.S. Lewis' space trilogy is a fabulous example. so is JT LeRoy. sometimes, that is the way to tell a story. through a character.
Jason Webley's tales, as painful as they have ever been, have always been lighthearted, joyful and inspirational. so when I learned that Evelyn Evelyn had become incredibly controversial, and had offended many people, I was taken aback. many people had become emotionally invested in Evelyn Evelyn, the tragic story of two conjoined twin girls, who had led a painful, exploited life, and started making music together. the songs are lighthearted and humorous (in a somewhat dark sense), and The Wizard has been running around yelling "Elephant! Elephant!" since he first heard it. if you listen to the songs, you might notice that one of the girls does have a startlingly deep voice (a fact that Jason mentions in his blog http://www.jasonwebley.com/weblog/ , which was made solely for the purpose of confronting the drama surrounding Evelyn Evelyn). if you watch any of the videos of Webley and Palmer discussing the project, you notice them giggling and exchanging secretive grins. I will not say here if my opinion is whether or not I believe that Webley and Palmer ARE Evelyn and Evelyn Neville, because I have far too much respect for Story.
I've spoken before about the folly of excessive politically correct-ness.
all of us have pretended, as children, to be someone who we were not. and many of the stories and games that were most empowering were the ones where we were dealing with incredible odds. I remember after I saw "The Jewel of the Nile", I told everyone for YEARS that I had consumption, and would be dead before the year was out. I dare anyone to say that they did not, at some point, climb into a piece of oversized clothing with a friend or sibling and claim to be conjoined. was this because we were heartless, insensitive children? NO. it's because we knew and respected the value of story, something I feel like we are losing in this culture.
the risk of being excessively PC is the risk that we will feel the desire to compare ourselves to others. the desire to be "more PC than thou", is dangerous, because then we start looking for things to judge and criticize. instead of appreciation, inspiration and awe, we feel the urge to be the critic, and start looking for problems and fallacies in the things that we see and hear.
storytelling is arguably the most ancient form of art, and often becomes the most intricate. in the form that Webley and Palmer are working, their project involves not just storytelling, but song-writing, character development and performance. try and find any performer who is not developing a character, or stage presence. do we criticize them for this, or do we appreciate the entertainment and thought-provocation that they've gifted us with?
I told The Wizard the child-appropriate parts of the Evelyn Evelyn story, and watched him become emotionally invested in it. and then I played a video of an Evelyn Evelyn performance for him, and watched the dawning of realization on his face. the result? a smile. as we age, we must not lose our understanding of the value of story. Einstein said "The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He who knows it not, who can no longer wonder, who can no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle."
We should appreciate that Evelyn Evelyn gives us the gift of the mysterious. Their story makes us feel and imagine, and, heaven forbid, even makes us laugh.
there are many people who disagree with me. I'm not trying to accuse them of having a drive to find fallacies in the world around them, or of being a snuffed out candle. their views are valid, in their own right. I'm just urging people to try to see things in a different light. if you like, you can find an opposing view at http://disabledfeminists.com/2010/02/09/evelyn-evelyn-ableism-ableism/ it's a well-stated blog by a woman who is offended by Evelyn Evelyn.
In closing though, I would like to say, respect story. respect the artists who continue to give it to us in it's truest sense. also, go and listen to Evelyn Evelyn ( www.myspace.com/evelynevelyn ) and, if you are so inclined, buy the album. it's coming out March 30th, and I'm all over it, because good lord. it's some good shit.

Most people are naturally curious, and they actively explore and engage when their curiosity is piqued. As consumers interact with the world around them, location-based beacons are making it easier to bridge the physical world with the digital.
One of the challenges of out-of-home media is that it is still seen as a broadcast medium—going from one to many. Advertisers today want one-to-one conversation with consumers in the same way online and mobile channels currently offer it, and beacons are one way to provide brands with that opportunity. The ability to have a more relevant conversation with consumers using targeted, dynamic creative triggered by real-time data has brought the out-of-home space closer to that desired one-to-one conversation.
Combining location-based beacons with placed-based out-of-home enables brands to convert a one-way impression into a two-way engagement, providing immediacy for consumers, while at the same time, making them more comfortable interacting with the technology going forward. In the near future, these interactions will be able to use a consumer's mobile history and interaction to deliver even more relevant messages with advertising that is not only contextually correct–delivered at the right place and time–but also to the right consumer. Beacons allow brands to encourage immediate engagement.
For example, placing beacons within a retail environment enables brands to collect more detailed data to support creative messaging, particularly once the beacon has been able to track where the consumer has been and what they have potentially seen in-store.
It is often assumed that consumers want to engage with technology, but there is still some consumer reticence slowing the adoption of beacons. Making engagement easier is the key to success, and it will provide a major catalyst for out-of-home industry growth.
Capturing behavioral data enables the out-of-home space to provide campaign measurement and accountability, which brands and agencies require to increase OOH campaign budgets including mobile engagement. So it's little wonder that more brands are asking for this type of justification to support advertising investments. Agency education is key to implement beacon-based campaigns, and it will be a major driver for business going forward. Lamar Advertising began selling mobile interactive campaigns pairing out-of-home with beacons more than two years ago, and it's been exciting to see more agencies pair out-of-home with mobile technology.
Lamar has been testing multiple beacon platforms, but one that we believe is most promising is our partnership with Blue Bite and Esca. Esca was the first dual-mode beacon to take advantage of both Apple's iBeacon and Google's Eddystone protocols, providing compatibility across the widest spectrum of apps as well as mobile web through Physical Web, which provides access to the broadest audience. Additionally, Esca has been released both as a battery powered unit as well as in two USB powered versions, reducing long-term maintenance and increasing range for media that is located at a further distance from consumers. The Esca beacon is plugged into an enhanced reporting platform that provides our brand partners real-time visibility into campaign performance.
One of my favorite beacon-based campaigns was for Puma's Ignite XT sneaker. Puma collaborated with Blue Bite, Blue 449, Zenith Media and Austria-based mobile agency Loop to create a one-of-a-kind outdoor campaign featuring its brand ambassadors, Usain Bolt and Rihanna. Users tapped or scanned Blue Bite's mTAGs to launch a mobile experience triggered by beacons and geofences. Once the mobile experience was launched, users were able to discover Ignite XT's features and have the ability to purchase it directly.
We've proven that combining mobile engagement with out-of-home significantly increases consumer interactions. Whether you represent a brand, agency, vendor or a technology company, I encourage you to educate your company about location-based beacon technology. The only way the out-of-home industry will continue is to test and learn what best fits our medium.
Ian Dallimore began work with Lamar Advertising in 2004 as part of the marketing department. A year later, he transitioned to national sales where he worked directly with out-of-home buyers and strategic teams for national agencies. Dallimore soon became Lamar's first digital OOH strategist and developed what the company has become today. As director of digital innovation and sales strategy, he interacts with national clients, brands and agencies to devise strategic plans. He also serves on the Digital Signage Expo Advisory Board with a focus on driving the industry to stay relevant in the advertising world. Dallimore is a graduate of Louisiana State University with a bachelor's degree in business marketing and communications.
Ian Dallimore and Jonathan Brawn of Brawn Consulting, will jointly lead a webinar discussion entitled, The Role Beacon Technology Will Play in the Future when DigitalSignageConnection.com presents its 30-minute webinar on Thursday, September 29 from 2:00-2:30 p.m. EDT. Ian and Jonathan are members of the Digital Signage Expo Advisory Board's Advertising Council.

Josh Speyer is the CEO of Aerserv. And I love a CEO that is focused on the culture of the company he captains. Yes, revenue is an important indicator of the health of a company. But more importantly, the cultural health of an organization is a key indicator of its continued progress.
And Speyer makes it a priority in making sure that the culture at Aerserv is one that promotes happy, humble and hardworking team members.
Let's kick off this interview with Josh's story.
So, Josh, what is your story?
I am an entrepreneur of twenty years; my life has always been about seeking out new challenges. I love the thrill of embarking on a new venture. I'm also a former athlete and that competitive drive is core to my personal and professional identities; I'm always looking for new challenges.
I started with domains in 1995 and jumped online fulltime 1998, when it became clear that it was going to be something big, and it has been a fun, constantly challenging journey.
What kind of person do you like to work with?
I am always looking for happy, humble and hardworking people. People who want to be part of a team and contribute, who want to share in the wins and fight through the setbacks. At AerServ, we look for folks that have a team-first, not "me-first" attitude. Good teammates want to help the team in any way they can.
We are always looking to draw from each person his or her unique perspective, intrinsic talent or hard-won skill. I love to see people live up to my expectations of them and exceed their expectations for themselves.
And that only happens when each person knows that he or she can find individual success, however they define it, within that team concept. I love to see everyone contributing in their own way - and it is those that are happy, humble and consistently hard-working that get there. And I might be happier for them than they are for themselves when they do.
Tell me about a project or accomplishment that you consider to be the most significant in your career?
Bob Dylan sang, "There's no success like failure, and failure is no success at all." I don't have a particular accomplishment or even failure that is more significant than the fun I have had working through challenges to succeed (or sometimes fail) with teams of people I liked and respected.
Whether that was athletics as a young man or operating a business today - just getting the opportunity to play is a win.
Solving complex problems often requires a re-framing the problem. So what is your process of re-framing the problem so it can be resolved?
This is a recurring theme in technology; as problems or issues arise, we must troubleshoot the source and often, create new solutions or technologies to solve them. I start my process by identifying everyone involved and trying to
understand the problem through each party's point of view.
It's easy to become myopic in any industry, but ad-tech in particular requires you to look outside your own universe to understand literally dozens of businesses that must work in unison, and to approach problems in the broader context of that collaboration.
Not every business determines success in the same way. What trophy do you want on your mantle?
I am not sure by the time I retire that we will have mantles anymore!
But if any trophies were up there I hope they would be pictures of my family, friends and teammates doing fun things, going fun places and enjoying the journey.
I am proud and grateful that I get to work with great people everyday.
How do you make sure that AerServ will be relevant five years from now? Ten?
I think part of finding success is listening and part of it is leading.
We first need to listen to our customers, our partners and our team here.
And then we need to lead - leveraging what we have heard, our experience, our creativity, our entrepreneurial agility - we must anticipate the market and anticipate what will please our customers and all constituents - so that by the time the marketplace realizes it wants or likes or needs something - we are already there to provide it.
This business seems complex but like all businesses, it is actually quite simple. Give the people what they expect from you, do it well and you will win and keep
their business.
Reader Question: As a solopreneur or entrepreneur, how do you make sure that the company you are building will be relevant five years from now?

CHICAGO (thefutoncritic.com) -- One week after taking home the Emmy for outstanding reality/competition series, CBS has picked up "The Amazing Race" for a fifth season. In addition, the network also announced an early pickup of "Big Brother," which will return for a fifth installment next summer.
The news doesn't come as much of a surprise for both series. The Eye had previously given the producers of "Race" the go-ahead to begin casting another season of the series, which averaged 8.32 million viewers this summer. "Big Brother," which wasn't expected to hear about its fate until February, got the early pickup thanks to its stellar numbers this summer. Between its three editions (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays), the series averaged 8.8 million viewers.


text: nairda 8 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'll be teaching a 2-hr clay class for high school students. The goal is to incorporate art into a science/math/engineering focus. An expectation is that they'll make a simple hand-built clay piece during the 2 hrs as well. 10 kids per session. I've put together a number of concepts to cover. One is that with raw, non-commercial glazes, what you see in the bucket is not what you get on the finished piece. I'll give them the recipes for 4 glazes and simply name the recipes Blue, Burgundy, Green & Brown. They'll also have cups of the raw glazes for a visual reference. The goal is to see if they can determine which recipe will produce which final color based on the colorant minerals in the recipes. Which got me to thinking...why is cobalt oxide black in color and cobalt carbonate pink? I checked DigitalFire and found the following, but still had a question. From DigitalFire - "The carbonate is produced from a liquid reaction between cobalt II acetate and sodium carbonate to produce red violet crystals that are recovered by filtration. The material is insoluble in cold water but will decompose in hot water.†So, am I correct in understanding that Cobalt Carbonate is not a material that is mined (or ever occurs naturally), but instead one that is always man-made using Cobalt Oxide? I understand that chemically, each has a different number of oxygen molecules and that the oxide form is much, much stronger in color than the carbonate (true for oxides vs. carbonates in general). Thanks. Who knows, there may be a future ceramic engineer or scientist who loves ceramic art in this group of kids! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Winterbottom's "The Trip" Triptych
The largely improvised 2010 BBC series The Trip, directed by Michael Winterbottom, features six half-hour episodes in which British comic actors Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon go on a road trip and restaurant tour through northern England for the Observer. The two men play fictionalized versions of themselves: longtime friends and occasional rivals who flirt with the same women, argue over trivialities, and frequently engage in dueling impressions of famous movie stars such as Michael Caine and Al Pacino. Coogan's character is an insecure, egotistical actor trying to manage both his tenuous film career and floundering love life. The laid-back Brydon is a happily married family man with a more modest TV celebrity, and Coogan's perfect foil.
Their verbal jousting, supplemented by striking scenery and shots of delectable food and drink, delighted viewers. So, a few years later, the BBC sent Coogan, Brydon, and Winterbottom on culinary tours in two other countries. The Trip to Italy and The Trip to Spain debuted in 2014 and 2017, respectively. Winterbottom condensed each three-hour TV series into an acclaimed feature film, and we show all three in July and August. Now even stay-at-home Ohioans can escape to Europe this summer, if only for a few hours.
John Ewing
Curator of Film
All three films shown in Morley Lecture Hall and admission to each is $10, CMA members $7.
British actor and comedian Steve Coogan is hired by the Observer to travel around northern England to review some of the country's best restaurants. When his gourmet girlfriend bows out, Coogan asks fellow comic, old friend, and sometimes-rival Rob Brydon to accompany him. The results are deliciously funny.
Four years after their first gastronomic odyssey, comics Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon reunite for a grand foodie tour of Italy, exchanging barbs and impressions when not feeding their faces.
Aging frenemies Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon embark on a culinary tour of the Iberian Peninsula, riffing on show business, love, marriage, family, and mortality between bites of delectable dishes.

From Goodreads:
Beat the game. Save the world.
Pandora's just your average teen, glued to her cell phone and laptop, surfing Facebook and e-mailing with her friends, until the day her long-lost father sends her a link to a mysterious site featuring twelve photos of her as a child. Unable to contain her curiosity, Pandora enters the site, where she is prompted to play her favorite virtual-reality game, Zero Day. This unleashes a global computer virus that plunges the whole world into panic: suddenly, there is no Internet. No cell phones. No utilities, traffic lights, hospitals, law enforcement. Pandora teams up with handsome stepbrothers Eli and Theo to enter the virtual world of Zero Day. Simultaneously, she continues to follow the photographs from her childhood in an attempt to beat the game and track down her father, her one key to saving the world as we know it. Part The Matrix, part retelling of the Pandora myth, Doomed has something for gaming fans, dystopian fans, and romance fans alike.**This is the synopsis provided by Goodreads, though I do believe it needs to be updated due to the name of the game being changed to Pandora's Box instead of Zero Day.
Danger, intrigue and full of action, Doomed captivated me with it's clever plot and amazing characters! This book is just one giant roller coaster of fun and I did not want to get off the ride!
Doomed begins with a girl named Pandora unknowingly releasing a cyber worm on the world when she opens an email from her long lost father. A world with no Internet, computers, phones, etc… well, you wouldn't think we would all succumb to chaos so fast, but everything is quickly turned upside down for Pandora and the world. Can you imagine car accidents with no way to call for help and no way for people to pay without cash? It really puts things in perspective with how much the world relies on technology. What would we do if it all fell apart? It's scary to think how bad it would be. Doomed gives you a taste of what could happen and it is truly terrifying how people can change and will do anything they can for food, batteries, and other necessities. I almost got a Revolution vibe for a bit, if you are familiar with the tv show, which I thought was super cool!
To 'save the world' Pandora, with the help of her new neighbors, takes on the video game, Pandora's Box. She must travel to real life locations to find clues her father has left to help her pass each level in the game. The way the author intertwined the two worlds was really awesome. I was honestly expecting to be more inside the game but was pleasantly surprised that was not the case. It was like one exciting scavenger hunt, and I love me a good scavenger hunt! This was absolutely my favorite part of the novel. I would be on the edge of my seat, full of anticipation for what obstacles the characters would face and what pieces they would need to solve and how it all came together.
Pandora is the main character who has been given this unfortunate task to beat the game and save the world. Knowing her estranged father was responsible was hard on her and left her a bit vulnerable, but she was so incredibly brave and strong. She had these two huge strong guys willing to protect her and she was adamant that she was no damsel in distress and maintained a take charge attitude. She is exactly the type of female character I love to read.
Now the two boys… they are Pandora's new neighbors that happen to be step-brothers. From the beginning, Pandora seemed to have a thing for Eli. He seemed more her type, charming. Theo came off as the dark, tormented and brooding brother. As the story progresses, we learn that the roles are almost reverse when you look deeper. Theo is so genuine and selfless. Eli is also great, and it's not that he is unlikable, because he truly is. Eli just lacks the sincerity of his brother. And also can make some really stupid decisions in a crisis.
Just a few things gave me pause as I was reading that I should mention. My main issue was how convenient it was that the boys were so knowledgeable in things like picking locks, knowing coordinates, flying planes, computer hacking, and of course had a ton of money handy. Did it bother me enough to take away from the story? Not really. I also wish the end didn't feel so rushed. It was excitement and build, build, build… and then everything came to a close so fast and with much less production than I expected. Overall though, a great action-packed read!
If you love excitement and adventure, than I think this would be a great novel for you to pick up!

Artist's Aerial Photos Of L.A. Showcase Inequality
The stark divide between rich and poor is no more evident than in the metropolis of Los Angeles, California. On one side, the impoverished and displaced of the city have attempted to carve out a living for themselves, whether it's on the streets, in temporary public housing, or moving around as their financial and health situations ebb and flow. On the other side of the fence (sometimes almost literally) is an entirely modernized world of glittering billboards, high-priced boutiques, and far too much food waste. It can be hard to comprehend just how closely the two worlds buttress one another sometimes. But luckily, one photographer has taken the initiative. Jeffrey Milstein's latest aerial photos of Los Angeles aren't just beautiful and geometric — they speak to the real-life disparities of the average American metropolis.
"There are sort of two extremes in how we end up living based on our affluence," said Milstein in a recent interview with Fast Company. "It's very readily apparent from the air, because you suddenly are seeing the differences in the patterns."
Milstein's right: As the magazine pointed out, the top five percent of income earners in Los Angeles make 12.5 times more than the remainder of the population combined. And with a population of around 10 million, that means that a lot of people have been left in the dust.
Milstein's latest project has blindingly exposed that fact. Depicting a palette of Easter-egg-colored mansions on one hand and the leftover remnants of lower-income neighborhoods on the other, the new aerial images, which 71-year-old Milstein snapped from a helicopter hovering above the city, have perfectly summarized the ground-level, dystopian feel of the urban sprawl. He explains to Bustle, "At an altitude of one to two thousand feet, a view unavailable from the ground opens up ... The socio-economics of neighborhoods are evident in the color hue and patterns of the aerial images. The hue shifts from browns toward greens and blues in the increasingly wealthy neighborhoods, which have more trees, pools, and tennis courts, and the roads become more curved."
In the blink of an eye, Milstein says, you're in a completely new world, where hunger is a myth and you can ger anything that you want.
At the waterfront, the ostentatious display of wealth is disparate. A marina full of private yachts and smaller sailboats gleams brightly in the sun. Set next to public sandy beaches, simple and uncluttered, the income gap seems almost tangible.
Photos of the Downtown regions tell a similarly black-and-white story. Thanks in part to the crackdown on homelessness in the mid 1990s by Los Angeles Police Commissioner William Bratton — a bold, brash leader with plenty of thoughts on the plague of homelessness, particularly on the notoriously impoverished Skid Row — and the gentrification of the low-income regions, which brought in a wealth of real estate investors who bought up affordable housing, thereby kicking up rent prices and flushing out those minimum wage earners who could no longer pay, the divide between the tax brackets has climbed higher and higher.
Milstein's stunning images capture the glassy shine of towering skyscrapers and manicured landscapes. In opposition, concrete infrastructure and hobbled-together buildings of an era long gone remark in their own language on the crushing burdens of life in the most polarized cities. If ever there were a project to showcase income inequality at its most oppressive, this is it.
"When I was young I had a love of planes and flying," Milstein says. "My earliest aerial photographs were taken while flying a rented Cessna 150 around Los Angeles as a teenager ... I was fascinated by how everything looked from above."
Later in life, however, he became even more intrigued by the apparent economic differences of those same neighborhoods below, telling Fast Company on Monday that he was especially "struck by the differences in housing." In his artist's statement, he added:
I was interested in documenting the patterns, layering, and complexity of cities, highlighting airports, container ports, recreational facilities, and residential and commercial developments, all of which grow organically over time and are connected by roads and arterial highways like a living organism. ... The American dream of owning ones own single family home can be seen at one extreme in the most affluent LA neighborhoods, where nearly every house has its own pool and tennis court, often just feet from the neighbors.
With his most recent projects, and his two current shows at New York's Benrubi Gallery and Los Angeles' Kopeikin Gallery (which both run through August 22), Milstein is putting that passion to good use in an attempt to dig up and expose the oft-hidden canyon between those with too much and those with too little. By the looks of his latest aerial photos, he found it.

Marvel VP clarifies disheartening diversity statements
Being a comic book fan in 2017 is an emotional rollercoaster. Your favorite properties keep getting repackaged and rebooted for television and film, and sometimes your favorite hero turns out to be a Nazi.
On the page, though, Marvel was making strides, with heroes diverse in gender, race and sexuality. But according to the company's VP of sales, David Gabriel, those rare and valued qualities don't fly in sales.
"What we heard was that people didn't want any more diversity," Gabriel told ICv2 regarding the company's 2016 sales at the Marvel Retail Summit. "They didn't want female characters out there. That's what we heard, whether we believe that or not. I don't know that that's really true, but that's what we saw in sales."
"We saw the sales of any character that was diverse, any character that was new, our female characters, anything that was not a core Marvel character, people were turning their nose up against," Gabriel added. "That was difficult for us because we had a lot of fresh, new, exciting ideas that we were trying to get out and nothing new really worked."

Gabriel did note in the interview that the decline in sales was "difficult" for the Marvel team, who put a lot of time and thought into their new heroes and "new, exciting ideas."
Following immediate backlash to his comments, Gabriel responded with a statement:
Discussed candidly by some of the retailers at the summit, we heard that some were not happy with the false abandonment of the core Marvel heroes and, contrary to what some said about characters "not working," the sticking factor and popularity for a majority of these new titles and characters like Squirrel Girl, Ms. Marvel, The Mighty Thor, Spider-Gwen, Miles Morales, and Moon Girl, continue to prove that our fans and retailers ARE excited about these new heroes. And let me be clear, our new heroes are not going anywhere! We are proud and excited to keep introducing unique characters that reflect new voices and new experiences into the Marvel Universe and pair them with our iconic heroes."We have also been hearing from stores that welcome and champion our new characters and titles and want more! They've invigorated their own customer base and helped them grow their stores because of it. So we're getting both sides of the story and the only upcoming change we're making is to ensure we don't lose focus of our core heroes."]

Well, I made it through Day 3. It was a crazy day. I am the SS and Nursery Coordinator at my church, and so I had to get some curriculum up into North Austin at some point today.
For breakfast I grabbed 2 eggs nests, a cup of strawberries and made a homemade coconut milk latte with gloria jeans butter toffee coffee and vanillia stevia.
My morning started with lots of traffic. Last week, some dude didn't pay attention to the height of his load and hit our main bridge over the highway causing it to be shut down for 7 hours. Well, it's been nearly a week and the bridge is still not 100% open causing major traffic delays. And someone decided it would be a good idea to try and run across Hwy 71 this morning and got hit by two cars (and died ) but also caused the highway to be shut down during rush hour. This caused me to have to take an alternate route out of my neighborhood and after 40 minutes of sitting in traffic, I finally got across the highway and was able to get my kids to VBS (15 minutes late).
Once they were dropped off, I had to go to the dentist. Now I admit, I haven't been to the dentist in 4 years. I actually thought it had been more than that, but I knew this appointment wasn't going to be fun. I knew there wasn't going to be a cleaning and just a lot of X-Rays and a bunch of other evaluations of my mouth. I'm told that I have great gums and teeth but that I have a few cavities on a few teeth (okay 2 cavities) and that my old fillings need to be replaced. The estimate when I get through? On top of my $46 copay for a $156 appointment? $3,000. THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. I immediately get on the phone and call my childhood dentist and ask if they will give me a 2nd opinion. They even let me fax the estimate to them. And they are SHOCKED. Tons of work that appears to be unnecessary. I'm thankful that #1. I have insurance, and #2. I have someone from whom to seek a second opinion. I'm going to my childhood dentist (SHOUT OUT TO DR. TENNISON) and will happily receive the treatment he feels I need.
That being said, I got done with the dentist and had to pick up the kids and head north. We went up to the Arboretum and ate at 5 Guys. I had a bunless burger all the way. It was good – and Whole 30.
We visited the cows, and then headed home. The kids were disappointed because Amy's Ice Creams in the Arboretum doesn't take Credit Cards. I was not. LOL
We got home and had quiet time for 1 1/2 hours. And then I decided I should do my civic duty and go vote. Its 100+ degrees outside, but I load the kids on their bikes and we make the 1/2 mile walk to the voting place. Only to be told it's closed. By the time we got home we were all hot, and there was NO WAY I was cooking dinner. So we waited for Stephen to get home, and we headed to Jason's Deli – where I had a Chicken Club Salad – no cheese with Olive Oil and Vinegar Dressing.
All in all I had a great day.
Oh – and I had a peach today for a snack.
I'm feeling great. I'm tired, but not exhausted like the first time. I am ready to stop taking Benadryl at night. I am down to one pill a day instead of two.
Oh and Kalyn, she is ROCKIN' her Whole 30. XOXOXO

Thank you to our sponsors!
What is a Read-A-Thon? Students commit to read every day for 14 days, from Fri. Sept. 8 – Thurs. Sept 21. Reading minutes are recorded using the reading log. In addition to reading, the student contacts friends and family to ask for pledges to support their reading.
How do pledges work? Pledges can be either for the minutes read or a flat donation. If you get pledges per minutes read, you will need to follow up with your sponsors after the Read-A-Thon to proudly report how much you read and collect donations. You can collect pledges online using PledgeStar or in person using the pledge sheet.
What is PledgeStar? Each person you email received a unique link to your page, it's completely private and secure. It is an online tool that makes it easy for you to share the Read-a-Thon with family and friends. Each family creates a completely secure and private page that can only be shared via email from within their system (no social media posting). Each person you email receives a unique link to your page. Payments can be made online with credit card or a check can be mailed to the school. A thank you note from your child will automatically be sent to those who donate online. To set up your page, visit https://pledgestar.com/coyotehills/
The really great thing about PledgeStar is you only have to set up one page if you have multiple kids. The email you send your friends and family come for all your children and donations are split evening among them. If they make a pledge based donation, each child is given the pledge amount based on how much they read.
How much time should a student read during this program? We suggest a goal of 30 minutes a day for 14 days, but the sky is the limit!

Don't ever forget
Come, listen, sit close to me.
I would have loved so much to tell you stories. To make you forget or to remind you. Stories of women and men who are searching, who are wounded, who are lost. Who find their quest.
I'm asking you, come sit down.
Look in the distance, in my direction. Over there, far away. Do you see the sun ? Could you guess the rain of its rays offering up so much warmth without ever drying up the tears ? Teach me. Teach me to teach you .
I am asking you.
Don't say anything. You don't need to say anything. Say to me. Your silence, your glance, your light. Is it true ? He speaks to you ? Do you hear Him ? Do you see His signs ? Do you understand them ? Always ? You see, my questions speak for you. I like your answers. I like your presence. You speak of me to Him, don't you ? You pray ? For me ?
Come close, please.
I am learning, you know. Appearances can be misleading. Really. Really, really ! Do you remember the hermit who came back to the source of his quest ? Am I already on my way ? Are you on my road ? Tell me…do you have a way, a path, a road, a track ? Do you hear me ?
There, come very very close.
You are a gift. So beautiful a gift. A sign. On my path. Look over there, look at me. Are we two ? We are two, we are to God. I told you a story; I spoke to you about the sun, of its warmth. I spoke to you about love. I am learning. It is difficult. You are there, I like your presence. Please, look over there, in the distance. Come close, listen to me.
I love you.
Don't ever forget.

Other Payments or Benefits Do Not Affect Vacation Rights - Act Part 7, Section 59
Text of Legislation
Policy Interpretation
Related Information
This section prohibits an employer from reducing vacation entitlement because of other payments or benefits.
Text of Legislation
59. (1) An employer must not reduce an employee's annual vacation or vacation pay because the employee
(a) was paid a bonus or sick pay, or
(b) was previously given a longer annual vacation than the minimum required under section 57.
(2) Despite subsection (1) (b), an employer may reduce an employee's annual vacation or vacation pay because at the written request of the employee the employer allowed the employee to take an annual vacation in advance.
Policy Interpretation
The right to a vacation with pay is a minimum standard that cannot be waived. Other benefits cannot be used to reduce an employee's entitlement to minimum annual vacations.
Subsection (1)(a)
Other Benefits Cannot Offset Vacations
If an employer authorizes time off for an employee, whether paid or otherwise, for a reason not related to vacation, they cannot treat this time as vacation at a later date
Subsection (1)(b)
If an employer grants an entitlement greater than the minimum requirements under the Act, this additional vacation entitlement is considered to be over and above the requirements of the Act and cannot be used to reduce, or offset, an employee's later vacation entitlements. Where an employee requests, in writing, to be allowed to take annual vacation in advance, this is permitted under subsection (2) below.
Subsection (2)
Vacations granted in advance
Vacations granted in advance of entitlement should be recorded in payroll records in accordance with s.28 of the Act. If vacation is granted in the first 12 months of employment, in advance of entitlement under s.57 of the Act, payroll records should indicate that the vacation time taken was in advance of the actual entitlement, or in addition to, statutory minimums.
Similarly, if a vacation entitlement is "borrowed" from a future employment year, this should be reflected in the payroll records.
Marcia, an employee in her second year of employment receives 2 weeks annual vacation and, in response to her written request, the employer, Amber's Snowboarding Co., provides an additional week vacation in advance of entitlement. Amber's Snowboarding Co. keeps a record of the written request and indicates in the payroll records that Marcia has received 1-week annual vacation in advance of entitlement.
In the third year of employment the Amber's Snowboarding Co. reduces the 2-week vacation entitlement by one week because Marcia had received a vacation in advance as noted in the payroll records.
Employees covered by a collective agreement
Under s.3 of the Act, where a collective agreement contains any provision respecting Part 7, the provisions of this section do not apply. If a collective agreement does not contain any provision respecting annual vacation, Part 7 is deemed by s.3 to be incorporated in the collective agreement as part of its terms.
Under s.3(7) where there is a collective agreement, the enforcement of matters relating to Part 7 is through the grievance procedure, not through the enforcement provisions of the Act.

Editors' Notes
A Hard Day's Night was both a soundtrack to the dazzling Richard Lester-directed film and a triumphant album unto itself. It was the first album to contain only music written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney as well as the band's first foray into four-track recording. A Hard Day's Night offers up a multitude of different sounds (bongos, harmonica, double-tracked vocals, cowbells) included on vibrant tracks such as the title tune and "Can't Buy Me Love" as well as thoughtful melodies like "I Should Have Known Better." A Hard Day's Night is full of youthful optimism, but The Beatles show a remarkable maturity in their songwriting and arranging on tracks like "If I Fell" and "And I Love Her."

twice-baked potatoes
I obviously cook (and bake) a lot and my family has all had the chance to sample the results. They each have their favorites dishes, but their lists are shorter than you might imagine. While it inspires me to always step up my game, I think the reason favorites don't always come to mind for them is largely because I overwhelm them with choices. Case in point: my dad went really simple with his father's day meal request of steaks and salad. But when he added on "baked potatoes, with bacon and cheese," I knew I'd have a chance to experiment. These twice-baked potatoes (bake them once until soft, twice to crisp up a seasoned filling) were addictively good, if not a touch rich. Save them for a special occasion or weeknight indulgence and you won't regret it!
- 6 large baking potatoes
- olive oil, for rubbing
- 1½ tablespoons milk
- 1½ tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1¼ cups sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
- 3 slices bacon, chopped and cooked (or crumbled)
- ¼ cup fresh chives, snipped or finely chopped
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash the potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and place them on a lined, rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake the potatoes for about hour, or until soft. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Reduce the temperature of the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the cooled potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the potato flesh into a large bowl. Add the milk, butter or oil, sour cream, cheese, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until creamy.
- Divide the mixture evenly and spoon it back into the potato shells. Return the potatoes to the oven for 15 minutes or until browned. Remove from the oven and garnish with bacon and chives.
