Marriage in the Middle: Embracing Midlife Surprises, Challenges, and Joys by Dorothy Greco
"Midlife is a season of challenge and change―professionally, relationally, physically, and spiritually. On our better days, we experience a sense of growing clarity and satisfaction about who we are. We might even be coming to terms with our limitations and vulnerabilities, letting go of some dreams and creating new ones. But many days, we are overwhelmed and exhausted by the intense transitions of this season, leaving us feeling off-balance and insecure. And these challenges reverberate through our marriages, making us wonder how we're going to survive.
Though many assume that "midlife" is synonymous with "crisis," Dorothy Littell Greco reminds us that it doesn't have to be that way. The demands of midlife actually force us to adjust and adapt, providing new opportunities for discovery and growth within our marriages. With vulnerability and insight, Marriage in the Middle will inspire and encourage you to invest in your relationship with your spouse, enabling you both to thrive as you face the challenges and changes of this era together."

Making Marriage Beautiful: Lifelong Love, Joy, and Intimacy Start With You By Dorothy Greco
"What makes a marriage beautiful? Honesty? Compatibility? Physical and emotional intimacy? All of these are important, but there's one component that determines the quality and longevity of a marriage more than anything else: a willingness to grow.
Because a wedding joins together two imperfect people, all couples experience disappointment, conflict, and pain. How husbands and wives respond to these challenges determines the kind of people they will become and the kind of marriage they will have.
Making Marriage Beautiful reveals how the pursuit of Christ results in profound transformation for both the individual and the marriage. Rather than offering clichés and formulas, Greco relies on candor, humor, and real life stories to bring encouragement and wisdom to all couples, regardless of whether they have been married four weeks or forty years."

The Way Up is Down: Recovering Yourself by Forgetting Yourself by Marlena Graves
"Now, with God's help, I shall become myself." "These words from Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard resonate deeply with Marlena Graves, a Puerto Rican writer, professor, and activist. In these pages she describes the process of emptying herself that allows her to move upward toward God and become the true self that God calls her to be. Drawing on the rich traditions of Eastern and Western Christian saints, she shares stories and insights that have enlivened her transformation. For Marlena, formation and justice always intertwine on the path to a balanced life of both action and contemplation. If you long for more of God, this book offers a time-honored path to a deeper life." (Amazon)
The God Who Saves: Immigrants, the Bible, and the Journey to Belong by Karen Gonzalez
"Here is a riveting story of seeking safety in another land. Here is a gripping journey of loss, alienation, and belonging. In The God Who Sees, immigration advocate Karen Gonzalez recounts her family's migration from the instability of Guatemala to making a new life in Los Angeles and the suburbs of South Florida. In the midst of language barriers, cultural misunderstandings, and the tremendous pressure to assimilate, Gonzalez encounters Christ through a campus ministry program and begins to follow him.
Here, too, is the sweeping epic of immigrants and refugees in Scripture. Abraham, Hagar, Joseph, Ruth: these intrepid heroes of the faith cross borders and seek refuge. As witnesses to God's liberating power, they name the God they see at work, and they become grafted onto God's family tree." (Amazon)
The Color of Life: A Journey Toward Love and Social Justice by Cara Meredith
"In this spiritual memoir, a white woman in an interracial marriage and mixed-race family paints a beautiful path from white privilege toward racial healing, from ignorance toward seeing the image of God in everyone she meets.
Author and speaker Cara Meredith grew up in a colorless world. From childhood, she didn't think issues of race had anything to do with her, and she was ignorant of many of the racial realities (including individual and systemic racism) in America today. A colorblind rhetoric had been stamped across her education, world view, and Christian theology." (Amazon)
BecomingCoztōtōtl: Poems by Carolina Hinojosa-Cisneros
"'Becoming Coztōtōtl is composed of eighteen poems that celebrate the forces that have made claims on us since the beginning of time: our bodies, our land, our families. Throughout these pages, Carolina Hinojosa-Cisneros honors our children, our mothers, and our antepasados with a subtle lyricism that demands our attention. Read these poems. They are timely in their defiance of injustice, timely in their unfeigned compassion.'"—Octavio Quintanilla, San Antonio Poet Laureate and author of If I Go Missing
Glorious Weakness: Discovering God in All We Lack by Alia Joy
"The vulnerability and beauty found in these pages will leave you breathless, as Alia wisely leads the weary on journey into God's goodness and grace, even in the midst of our deepest weakness, heartbreak, and loss. Her exquisite words are a tender touch that resurrect us in our brokenness to the knowledge that we are deeply seen—and even in our weakness, there can be life-giving glory and reviving grace. These are healing pages for hurting hearts, and ones I will return to again and again." (Amazon)

A Spacious Life: Trading Hustle and Hurry for the Goodness of Limits by Ashley Hales
"We're told that freedom and opportunity are our tickets to the good life. Get out there and follow your dreams! Be the hero of your own story! Find your happiness! Live your best life! It seems that limitless possibilities await anyone with vision and willingness to hustle their way through life. The thing is, instead of resulting in a sense of accomplishment, this limitlessness merely has us doing more and trying harder―leaving us depleted and dissatisfied. With life and faith. Ashley Hales invites us to a better way: a more spacious life.
Contrary to what we've believed, the spacious life is not found in unfettered options or accomplished by our hustle and hurry. The life we crave is found within the confines of God's loving limits. Ashley helps us recognize that when we live within these boundaries, we discover a life filled with purpose, joy, and rest. This is the spacious life―finding true freedom within the good limits given to us by our good God.
Finding Holy in the Suburbs: Living Faithfully in the Land of Too Much by Ashley Hales
"Suburban life—including tract homes, strip malls, commuter culture—shapes our desires.
More than half of Americans live in the suburbs. Ashley Hales writes that for many Christians, however: "The suburbs are ignored ('Your place doesn't matter, we're all going to heaven anyway'), denigrated and demeaned ('You're selfish if you live in a suburb; you only care about your own safety and advancement'), or seen as a cop-out from a faithful Christian life ('If you really loved God, you'd move to Africa or work in an impoverished area'). In everything from books to Hollywood jokes, the suburbs aren't supposed to be good for our souls."
What does it look like to live a full Christian life in the suburbs? Suburbs reflect our good, God-given desire for a place to call home. And suburbs also reflect our own brokenness. This book is an invitation to look deeply into your soul as a suburbanite and discover what it means to live holy there." (Amazon)

Eichstätt the old university town is definitely worth to visit and pause. In the city you can stop in the market square in one of the many cafes or you just sit in the shade and watch the market go by.The city is located on the Altmühl near the geographical center of Bavaria and in the triangle of the largest Bavarian centers of Munich, Nuremberg and Augsburg. Eichstätt is the capital of Altmühltal. The northern valley slope above the city forms an extension of the Franconian Jura. The highest point in the city is the so-called Matterhorn, a former waste dump near the district of Lüften, 574 meters high. At the lowest point at 384 meters, the Altmühl leaves the urban area. The city center is at an altitude of 393 meters. The city is the eponymous place of Eichstätt Alb.
Great closed cityscape (Baroque and Rococo city). Cathedral, cathedral treasure, cloister. Place of work of St. Willibald. Jurassic Museum Willibaldsburg.
In Eichstätt there is more to see than just the Willibaldsburg (most photos). Resting comfortably on one of the many places and enjoying the old town facades is also very nice.
Eichstätt offers many attractions and is worth a visit!

I'm quite excited about this tutorial. It's more about body retouching techniques than manipulation because I will show you how to smoothen skin, add hair, makeup and of course how to get to the result you see on the preview. Enjoy.
I'll skip this step pretty quick because I want to focus on the important stuff. If you don't know how to extract an image use Google to find out how you can do that.
I used a 2800×3200 pixels canvas. I opened the foreground stock (the balcony with the bench) and I masked the background. Then I opened the background image (the sky and landscape) and placed it on a new layer below. Resize as needed depending on your canvas size. You can use another background image if you want, I was kinda lazy os I used a simple premade one. I applied 4px Gaussian Blur to to the background image. See image below.
I used 3 adjustment layers as clipping mask on the foreground layer in order to make it match the blue background. I first desaturated the image with Hue/Saturation at -65, then I made it darker with Curves and lastly I made it blue like the background using a Solid Color fill layer with the color #21507f on Softlight and layer Opacity 100%.
This is where the fun part starts. Extract the woman from the background and add it to your canvas on the bench as shown below. Now you have to smoothen her skin. You have several options here. You can use Surface Blur and a layer mask, the smudge tool or the Mixer Brush Tool.
I used the Mixer Brush Tool because I really like how it works. I know it's a pretty unknown tool but I recently discovered it and I love it for smoothening skin. On the settings of this tool I used Custom and all parameters to 12% and started painting. This tool works almost like the smudge tool so you will have to follow the lines and shadow directions of whatever you're painting over, otherwise you will create a big mess because you will destroy the structure of the woman's face and body.
You can work with this tool non-destructively by creating a new clipping mask and checking Sample All Layers on the tool's settings. See image 3 for before and after.
I used clipping mask adjustment layers to change the contrast and color of the woman and match the color of the background. I also used a Hue/Saturation and set the Saturation to -27. In order to match the blue color I used a Color Fill layer as clipping mask with the following settings: color #17496f Softlight at 100%.
I wanted to do something with the hair because I didn't really like it. I found some really awesome painted hair stock images so I used them. Deezan (http://dezzan.deviantart.com) has several packs for free so make sure you visit her DA gallery and download them.
Position the hair as you like and use Hue Saturation to reduce Lightness and give a blue tone to it, Levels, Curves to make it darker and any adjustment layers that you want in order to make the hair black. Blend using a layer mask and a soft brush. I placed some hair above the woman layer (in front of her) as well as some longer hair on the back.
You can merge the wings or convert them into a smart object, that way you will only have to make adjustments to one layer rather than two. Use a low opacity soft brush to paint some shadows where the wings unite at the back of the woman.
Just like I did with the woman I made some adjustments to the wings layer. I used a Levels adjustment to make them darker and a Gradient Map on Softlight at 80%. The colors for the gradient map are #183855 for the shadows and #558fcb for the highlights.
The wings almost wrap around the woman's body so I also created some shadows over her shoulders and arms. I painted these shadows on a new clipping mask layer on the woman. Use a low opacity soft brush and paint with black some soft shadows.
I enhanced the makeup of the woman by using a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to increase the saturation. Then I used the layer mask of this adjustment layer to only reveal the effect over the eyes and the lips. On another layer set on Overlay at 50% and which I named eyes shadow I painted some makeup on the eyes.
Extract the statue from the background, place it on your canvas and make some adjustments to make it fit the background. I used Curves to make it brighter and a color fill layer with Color blend mode to make it blue as the background.
The surface of the statue was too rough for my liking so I spent a few minutes cleaning it with the Spot Healing Brush. After that I used the Mixer Brush Tool to make it smooth as well. As I mentioned before, this tool can be a bit tricky to use so you can use the Surface Blur to smoothen the statue.
As always on my manipulation tutorials, a step is dedicated to dodge and burn. I used this technique to enhance the shadows and highlights on specific areas of the artwork. I always use this tool non-destructively by creating a new layer fill it with 50% gray and change the blend mode to Overlay.
Then I dodge and burn on this layer. On the image below you can see how I enhanced the lips and make the eyes stand out a lot more. I also dodged the statue to enhance the shapes of the monster's body.
The final color and contrast effect was created with a Photo Filter adjustment layer using the color #029cff, Density at 80%, Softlight and Opacity at 30%.

Having become the first team in Serie A history to win their opening 10 matches, AS Roma headed for Torino looking to equal the 11 straight wins achieved by the Tottenham Hotspur side of 1960/61 - the best-ever start to a campaign in any of Europe's 'big five' leagues.
In overcoming a stubborn Chievo on Thursday evening thanks to a single goal from Marco Borriello, Rudi Garcia's pace-setters also improved on their impressive stats in the goals for and against column, to 24 goals scored and just one conceded.
Until Borriello replaced the injured Francesco Totti in the early stages of the 2-0 victory against Napoli in round eight, the Giallorossi had not played with an out-and-out striker. Totti had led the line, but from a deeper position, leaving Gervinho and Alessandro Florenzi to attack from wide positions.
When Gervinho also picked up an injury in the Napoli game, Adem Ljajic took over the former Arsenal man's role on the left of the attack, leaving Borriello to battle on through the middle.
His physical qualities came to the fore when he headed home against Chievo, but who needs strikers when you have the likes of Kevin Strootman and Miralem Pjanic breaking from midfield to arrive in goalscoring positions? This was how the former scored the opening goal midway through the first half of Sunday evening's match in Turin.
However, Alessio Cerci became the first player to beat Morgan De Sanctis in 774 Serie A minutes when he equalised early in the second period, a goal that would ultimately end the Giallorossi's hopes of continuing their remarkable run.
That certainly wasn't for want of trying on Roma's part. Garcia's side continued to enjoy most of the possession and their quick passing - not to mention the sparkling footwork of Pjanic and substitute Ljajic - had the home side hanging on for dear life towards the end.
Much has been made of Roma's solid defending, but it is the fluency of the midfield, where Daniele De Rossi is back to his dominating best, that has really been the foundation for Roma's early-season success.
It has certainly been midfielders who have most caught the eye this season, with both Juventus and Napoli relying on their men in the middle to overcome their own tricky weekend opponents.
Napoli coach Rafa Benitez claimed he was far from happy with his side's win over Catania, despite peppering the away goal for most of the match. The Azzurri maintained their excellent form at the San Paolo with a 2-1 success against the Sicilians - they're now unbeaten on their own patch since January - but the coach felt that the match should have been closed out after his side ran into an early 2-0 lead.
Instead, they allowed the visitors back into the game. The Spaniard admitted that there was room for improvement and that he had only seen his team operate at 75 per cent of their potential so far.
The hosts did get off to a blistering start and Jose Maria Callejon gave Napoli the lead in the 15th minute with a stunning strike, curling the ball into the top corner from 20 yards. The winger had also scored a wonderful goal in midweek at Fiorentina and the former Real Madrid man is beginning to find his feet in Serie A. Napoli doubled their lead five minutes later when Lorenzo Insigne rolled the ball across the edge of the penalty area for Marek Hamsik to hit first time into the top left corner.
The moment that left Benitez angry, however, was a piece of tame defending which enabled Lucas Castro to score and get the visitors back into the game, thus forcing Napoli to start all over again when they should have been conserving energy for their Champions League tie with Marseille on Tuesday.
When it comes to ruthlessly finishing off sides, one need look no further than Juventus. Antonio Conte must be confident that, over the long haul, Juventus have the strength and depth to retain their Serie A crown. The coach made a number of changes for the game at Parma but still managed to come away with a 1-0 victory.
Paul Pogba scored the only goal of the game with 13 minutes remaining, but it was substitute Fabio Quagliarella who set it up with a stunning shot that came back off the bar for the midfielder to tuck home.
The result more than satisfied Conte, not least as it was achieved without the rested Leonardo Bonucci, and Andrea Pirlo, who only came on after the hour mark. Of course, when the midfield maestro was introduced, his very presence gave the Bianconeri the lift they needed and at the same time enabled Pogba to get further forward.
Up until then, Carlos Tevez and Sebastian Giovinco had toiled away to no great avail against much more physical opponents, and if Pirlo's introduction had tipped the balance of power, then Quagliarella's arrival swung it completely in Juventus' favour as he took less than a minute to crash the crossbar for Pogba's winner.
Fiorentina also had their midfield to thank for the 2-0 win at crisis-hit Milan. Juan Vargas opened the scoring, albeit with a deflected free-kick, and the ultra-impressive Borja Valero sealed the victory with a well-timed run into the area to head home unimpeded.
Inter only had one fit striker for their trip to Udinese, so Walter Mazzarri pushed Fredy Guarin forward to support Rodrigo Palacio to great effect. The Colombian was a constant threat as the Nerazzurri ran out 3-0 winners, although it was the genuine frontman Palacio who grabbed the first and set up Ricky Alvarez to round off the scoring in between a close-range volley from defender Andrea Ranocchia.
In total, Roma and Inter have now found the net with 11 different scorers, Juventus and Fiorentina 10, and Napoli eight. The title race is starting to take shape and the midfield masters are providing the class and goals which could make the difference.


Futuri Project is an automotive project that aims at building innovative vehicles with newly-designed mechanical and technological features. Futuri Project has been trying to guarantee the highest performance levels for the last thirty years, making sure to keep up with a steady trend of development to meet the modern needs of Gran Turismo, sports cars and racing.
This enduring effort has led to the idea of working on a new kind of wheel balancing and steering system: these will operate directly on the vehicle barycenter through a central axle oriented by two guiding wheels at the front and back of the longitudinal center axle.
Such a radical solution has made it possible to almost fully eliminate the factors that have limited the performances of a traditional four-wheel vehicle. As a matter of fact, when the vehicle is in motion the two guiding wheels will work in perfect trajectory with the barycenter, allowing a smooth and steady movement forward and the greatest amount of speed through the bend, eliminating the slip angle and understeer and oversteer dynamics. This way the vehicle will benefit from a direct and parallel force on the trajectory axle unlike traditional vehicles, where the two front guiding wheels actually lead the movement of the rear axle in different trajectories while taking a curve, generating lateral acceleration effects.
The hard work of Futuri project has led to great results. During the construction phases radio-controlled models have been created and tested so to allow mechanical and dynamic tests. These tests have yielded interesting results in terms of vehicle acceleration, lateral acceleration, braking and aerodynamics.
As described above the vehicle of Futuri Project strongly reduces lateral acceleration impact thanks to a direct and parallel force on the trajectory axle. In particular, lateral acceleration is highly reduced because the vehicle always proceeds on external backing on three wheels while bending; this way three holding points for acceleration take place, a central one on the outer edge on axle with the barycenter, and two more on the longitudinal center far end which goes through the barycenter. These features allow a lateral setup that enables a balanced and compact bending radius. Another crucial feature for lateral acceleration reduction is the stepsize and the juxtaposed synchronism of the two guiding wheels with a steering and stabilizing effect. These features free the vehicle from thrusts and frictions, and make it increasingly powerful during steering and trajectory fixes, both when accelerating and decelerating, improving fluidity and speed when the vehicle gets in and out of turns.
The vehicle of Futuri Project speeds up through a well-balanced driving force on all four wheels: two differentials are mounted, one on the transverse central axle, the other one between the transverse central and the longitudinal center axle working on the guiding wheels.
Because the guiding wheels exert a driving and guiding force they can orient all thrusts during the acceleration and braking phases, giving directional stability thanks to the juxtaposed synchronized steering system and the stepsize. A determining factor for high performance is the conformation of the rear balance: having an only steering wheel at the farthest back end, sided with two advanced lateral wheels on the central axle, allows the vehicle to release high forces on the ground while accelerating and taking a curve, highly reducing the risk of wobbling and sliding.
Test results have shown that the accelerating and braking functions undergo a well- balanced and compact translative force while the vehicle speeds up and brakes; the rear and front stressed areas of the vehicle share the same mechanical and technical features. This way weight transfer is spread across the three longitudinal and the three tranversal axles, of which the central axles go through the barycenter. This ensures that any straining force exerted on any external front will be backed by three wheels, unlike any traditional vehicle with two wheels only. The advantage is wider contact surface and higher grip.
Due to its particular technical and mechanical features, the vehicle of Futuri Project allows more enhanced aerodynamic shapes and profiles which are not possible for a traditional vehicle. These unique features guarantee a stronger aerodynamic penetration, a well-balanced load distribution and release flows as well as a remarkable reduction of air resistance when in motion.

Citing the desire to focus more on her own health and family, Twinkle has resigned after 10 years of service on our School Board. It is difficult to adequately express our appreciation for all of the time and energy she has given to our district.
Twinkle was appointed as a school board member in 2008 and elected to position 1 in 2009. She has been a tireless advocate, serving as vice-chair three times and board chair four times. After a career in education, she brought a unique perspective to our school board including a deep understanding of the challenges that educators in the classroom face. She was constantly looking for new and innovative ways the Board could make a positive difference for staff, students and their families.
Thank you Twinkle for bringing your skills to work for our district, for challenging the status quo and for almost always including an "other." You will be missed!

Bargaining / District Goals
In the coming months the Fern Ridge School District will begin the process of bargaining a successor agreement with the Fern Ridge Education Association (FREA), to the one that is currently in place for our certified staff (teachers.) The current agreement expires June 30, 2018.
The District looks forward to working together with our teaching staff through this process. The Superintendent and School Board have identified 3 goals to help guide the District. They are:
The District will participate as a partner with the Fern Ridge Education Association (FREA) in these complex negotiations.
Given the importance of this new labor contract and the overall impact of labor costs to the District's budget, the District will devote the time and resources necessary to secure a labor contract which is responsive to the public's immediate and long-term interest.
The District will negotiate a labor contract which addresses legitimate employee concerns and seeks to continue to maintain good labor relations.

A night of rich food and flowing wine sounds like a great night—unless you have heartburn, that is. The number of people suffering from the condition—which causes uncomfortable pain beneath your chest—has nearly doubled in the past decade. If this sounds all too familiar, we have some tips to help prevent and sooth the burn.
Did you know too much of it—decaf or caffeinated—can cause heartburn? It's not just the acidity that causes discomfort, says Gary W. Falk, M.D., and Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Researchers have found that coffee's combined ingredients can lead to an increased production of acid in the stomach. While one or two cups a day most likely won't cause you pain, a pot a day certainly can, Falk adds. Cut down, and most likely your symptoms will fade.
Heartburn can make you just want to hit the sack, but that can aggravate symptoms, says Falk. Why? When you're standing, gravity helps keep food down, and as you swallow saliva acts as a natural antacid, clearing the esophagus. "When you sleep, you no longer have gravity working with you, and you no longer make salvia," says Falk. Tip: Avoid eating 2 to 3 hours before calling it a night. A recent study found that when people ate dinner either 2 hours or 6 hours before bed, the early eaters had significantly less reflux throughout the night.
Tight belts can raise pressure in the abdomen, says Prediman Krishan Shah, M.D., and Director of Cardiology at Cedars Sinai Heart Institute. This can cause your stomach contents to push harder against the valve that keeps food in the stomach.
"One of the biggest risks of reflux is obesity," says Falk. The more pounds you pack on, the more abdominal pressure you'll have, and the easier it is for food to get pushed the wrong direction. For an effective weight-loss plan, check out Men's Health Belly Off!
Antacids: These neutralize acids that cause you pain, and are your best bet for mild symptoms (ie: you rarely get heartburn, but that Mexican meal took you for a tailspin). Falk recommends Gelusil, an OTC, chewable pill that acts quickly.
H2 Blockers: Think Zantac and Pepcid—they reduce the amount of acid the stomach produces by blocking histamine2, an important producer. H2 Blockers are a good option for recurring heartburn discomfort.
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI's): These are prescription medications—pills or liquid—used by doctors to treat recurrent heartburn, and more serious issues like ulcers (Prilosec and Nexium are PPI's). They reduce the production of acid by blocking an enzyme in the wall of the stomach that produces it. If your heartburn symptoms are extreme—if you're having difficulty swallowing, or have lost weight, you should make an appointment with your gastroenterologist.

In this month's episode, host Justin Soeder covers the latest flood of Bergoglian errors, heresies, and impieties, with his guests Bp. Donald Sanborn and Fr. Anthony Cekada, who provide razor-sharp analysis and commentary from the perspective of the traditional and true Roman Catholic religion, the Faith as it was known and proclaimed by all Catholics until the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958.
The show begins with a discussion of a couple of late breaking news stories that came out on October 28, 2014, including Francis saying that God is not "some magician with a wand able to do everything," as he reconciled the evolutionary "big bang theory" with that of Divine Creation – saying the two are not incompatible. The host and guests also cover Francis' October 10 meeting at Casa Santa Marta, where Francis conducted an ecumenical love fest with the Communion of Episcopal Evangelical churches.

Bordering on Insanity
The United States Senate is mulling over the idea of building a 700 mile fence on our southern border. Long before there was such a thing as "chain link," China built a wall that stretched over 4,000 miles. Perhaps they could give us a few tips about holding back the Mongolian (I mean Mexican) hordes. However, we realize that it is easier to hold back warriors on horseback than hungry workers. Hungry people will do anything to eat. They will pluck a chicken in a heartbeat for pennies on the feather, plant tobacco in the broiling sun, and even pick e-coli laced lettuce to stave off starvation. Go figure.
China built its fence back in the days of cheap labor, those good old days are gone, unless we can trick Mexicans into building a wall around their own country. We could hire them in droves and put them up in FEMA trailers left over from Hurricane Katrina. We would fool them with talk of 401K's, stock options and the promise of a living wage. After they built the wall, we would tell them that they have been outsourced, laid off, and sold out, or "up the river" by FORD. No, not even Mexicans are stupid enough to work for an American Automobile company these days. We could tell them they are working for Toyota.
Wait, here's a better idea. Perhaps we could use giant laser beams like the "bug zappers" rich people have in their backyards. Except for the annoying "sizzling" sounds and a little smoke in the air, it would, as Charles Dickens wrote, rid the world of its "surplus population." Gardeners and chicken-pluckers, of course, would be exempt. They would be issued excess body armor left over from the Iraq war (which is an incentive to end that mess quickly) allowing them to go to work undocumented and unscathed. The Republican mega-farmers and e-coli growers would still have cheap labor, Democrats would have a steady supply of constituents, bigots would feel better, and everyone else could get back to business as usual, like buying stuff at Wall-Mart or standing in line for American Idol try-outs.
Hey, how about this? What if we park all those unsold SUV's, FORD Explorers and humongous Suburbans along a thousand mile curb to curb illegal immigration? We could pay for it by putting a parking meter next to each vehicle and American taxpayers would feed it quarters for about a hundred years instead of feeding a do nothing congress forever. Well, it's just an idea.

How Great Organizations Do Ordinary Things in Extraordinary Ways
By William Taylor (2017)
Everyone assumes that to be part of a great success story today, you have to be involved in a technology-driven start-up that is part of the "new economy" and which is doing something highly disruptive. That's not really the case.
The future is open to everyone – even those who are working in very mundane fields. It's not just the start-ups which can apply radical creativity. Breakthroughs can be achieved in any industry where leaders are willing to reimagine what's possible and turn their product or service into something which is simply brilliant. To excel today, find a way to refresh your product or experience. Don't settle for average, work to make what you offer simply brilliant. It can be done.
There is no such thing as an average or old-fashioned business, just average or old-fashioned ways to do business. In fact, the opportunity to reach for extraordinary may be most pronounced in settings that have been far too ordinary for far too long. If how you think shapes how you compete, then it should be easier to compete in fields locked in to old ways of thinking.
Today, average is officially over. Being average just won't earn you what it used to. It can't when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more [above-average] cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation, and cheap genius. Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra—their unique value contribution that makes them stand out.
Thomas Friedman, New York Times columnist
William Taylor is a speaker and entrepreneur. He was a cofounder and founding editor of Fast Company which sold for
$340 million six years after it commenced publication. Since starting Fast Company, Bill Taylor has written three books on leadership and change including Practically Radical and Mavericks at Work. He currently blogs and writes feature articles for the Harvard Business Review and writes a column for the Sunday Business section of The New York Times titled Under New Management. He is a graduate of Princeton University and the MIT School of Management.

The Republic Advisory Committee was a committee established by the then Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating in April 1993 to examine the constitutional and legal issues that would arise were Australia to become a republic. The committee's mandate was to "prepare an options paper describing 'the minimum constitutional changes necessary to achieve a viable Federal Republic of Australia, maintaining the effect of our current conventions and principles of government'." The committee was asked to consider issues such as

 a name for a new elected head of state;
 the method of selection for the head of state;
 what powers he or she should possess;
 the constitutional amendments and legal changes required to replace the Queen of Australia and Her Representative, the Governor-General of Australia by an elected head of state.

Republic Advisory Committee membership

The Republic Advisory Committee submitted two Volumes (Volume I - The Options and Volume II - the Appendices) to the Australian prime minister in late 1993. Part of Volume II was concerned with the international experience in moving from monarchical to republican headships of state. Six international reports were commissioned from local experts; four of the countries were former Commonwealth monarchies, while two had experienced their own regime change when their own monarchies (the Hohenzollerns in Germany, the Habsburgs in Austria) were replaced by republics.

Reports commissioned by the Republic Advisory Committee

The recommendations made by the committee were never voted on by the Australian people. A Constitutional Convention was held in 1998, resulting in a slightly different proposal which was rejected by the Australian electorate in the 1999 referendum.

Bill Text - AB-1157 Property taxation: certificated aircraft assessment.
An act to amend Sections 401.17, 441, and 1153.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to taxation.
AB 1157, Nazarian. Property taxation: certificated aircraft assessment.
Existing property tax law requires the personal property of an air carrier to be taxed at its fair market value, and the California Constitution requires property subject to ad valorem property taxation to be assessed in the county in which it is situated. Existing law, for the 2005–06 fiscal year to the 2015–16 fiscal year, inclusive, specifies a formula to determine the fair market value of certificated aircraft of a commercial air carrier, and rebuttably presumes that the amount determined pursuant to this formula is the fair market value of the certificated aircraft. Existing law further requires, until December 31, 2015, the Aircraft Advisory Subcommittee of the California Assessors' Association to designate, after soliciting input from commercial air carriers operating in the state, a lead county assessor's office for each commercial air carrier operating certificated aircraft in this state in an assessment year, and requires the lead county assessor to calculate the value of the air carrier's personal property and to transmit these calculations to other county assessors, but specifies that each county assessor is responsible for assessing and enrolling the taxable value of the property in his or her county, as provided. Existing law also requires, until December 31, 2015, the lead county assessor's office to lead a team to audit the books and records of commercial air carriers and authorizes these air carriers to file a property statement solely with the lead county assessor's office, as provided.
This bill would extend the 2015–16 fiscal year termination date to the 2016–17 fiscal year and the December 31, 2015, inoperative or repeal date to December 31, 2016, for the above-described provisions relating to the determination of the fair market value and taxation of certificated aircraft.
By extending the application of the aforementioned valuation process for certificated aircraft beyond the 2015–16 fiscal year, thereby imposing new duties upon a lead county assessor's office, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(a) For the 2005–06 fiscal year to the 2016–17 fiscal year, inclusive, it shall be rebuttably presumed that the preallocated fair market value of each make, model, and series of mainline jets, production freighters, and regional aircraft that has attained situs within this state is the lesser of the sum total of the amounts determined under paragraph (1) or the sum total of the amounts determined under paragraph (2). The value of an individual aircraft assessed to the original owner of that aircraft shall not exceed its original cost from the manufacturer. The preallocated fair market value of an aircraft may be rebutted by evidence including, but not limited to, appraisals, invoices, and expert testimony.
(aa) Net revenue per available seat mile shall be weighted 35 percent.
(ab) Net load factor shall be weighted 35 percent.
(ac) Yield shall be weighted 30 percent.
(3) Receive the property statement, as described in subdivision (l) of Section 441, of each commercial air carrier to which he or she is designated.
(e) This section shall remain in effect only until December 31, 2016, and as of that date is repealed.


If you could do a Mighty The Armadillo SSF2 sprite, that would be neat. Tip for the sprite: Make Mighty in his modern appearance.
About Geno, I find that, while the overall sprite looks good, his coat is pillowshaded. You should work on that for future sprites, but, as I said, his sprite still looks great. Keep it up!
Here's the Geno Roster, made 100% by me!
Mighty The Armadillo SSF2 Sprite!
Thank you! I love these sprites so much I am actually going have it saved on my computer! I like both sprites of Mighty, but I like the Archie one so much.

Sammi is amazing. She always does a wonderful job.
i noticed that all of the stations did not have cushioned floor mats to stand on, and for their safety and back and foot safety prevent injury.I noticed in any other of the salons they have mats,it makes for a good look when clients walk in it makes it look finished. the hair dressers will feel the difference and appreciate your good will,and thank you for your generosity and though-fullness..M.J.
My stylist, Stephanie Pietrzak, is the best!
I love my stylist Megan and all the girls and guys that work there. They are all very nice!
Katlin is the best! She is not afraid to cut my hair the way I like it. She is fast, which I love. I have had her cut my hair 3 times, and every time I like it even more.
The stylist did not notify me at ALL that blow drying is an upcharge. And I find it rediculous that the wash is free, (which was also dissatisfying, my scalp was not washed it felt),however blowdrying is extra. Give an option for dry cut. You will lose out to greatclips once again. I will drive all the way to the Plymouth location. Your prices are too high, and staff seemed trained improperly. I was worried as soon as I saw the hiring sign. My hair is uneven, not on my natural part, so my blunt cut was too blunt. If my hair moved the slightest, large chunks would show. I had to correct it myself.
Amy M always does my hair awesome!
Finally a hair stylist that cuts my hair correctly - Katie did a great job last time which is why I returned to her again !!
