I found a little surprise in the mailbox today.
If there is one thing I don't need, it is love from a Witch Elf. They... hurt. Notice the spelling , 'which' and the question mark. A mystery is afoot.
On the back was '11/13 R'.
Wizards and Wenches has some good thoughts and coverage here.
If those two new classes come out that close to my wife's birthday, I'm going to get in trouble.
I received a note from Mythic in the mail yesterday. I'll scan it tonight when I get home and post it on my site.
Rick: I have a feeling you will be back :) I am having a good time, but the game isn't the only one I play... so I don't really get burned out.
ok so my gues is that the dark elve's holiday "death night" is going to be friday the thirteenth, and that morathi the wich queen will be involved as she is the focal point of the holiday. has nothing to do with valitines day, enless you enjoy bathing in the blood of anyone cought so you can stay young.
Hey Werit, is the R an uppercase or lowercase R?
The holiest time of the year for Dark Elves is Death Night. During this night the Witch Elves rule the streets of the Dark Elf cities, capturing anyone they find (whether they are slaves or Dark Elves) and dragging them back to the temples as sacrifice to Khaine. The Witch Elves will even go so far as to break into houses, which has led to Dark Elf families barricading windows and doors during this night. On Death Night, the Witch Elves will also steal away a number of children. Girls captured like this will be trained to become Witch Elves. Boys are tossed in a cauldron of boiling blood. Those that survive are trained to be true adepts of Khaine: the feared assassins. As dawn breaks after Death Night, it is customary for those who lived through the night to make a sacrifice from their own household (usually a favoured slave or elderly relative) as a thanks to the Lord of Murder for sparing their family.
Wonder if this will have something to do with their event.
It was an upper case R.
Has anyone thought that the numbers are office admin to keep count of how many they've sent out?
Yours was the 11th of a total of 13 letters in total?
Bah ignore me - didn't see the letters heh...!
Well, assuming a lot of letters and assuming the letters are scrambled, I came up with WAR Invitation. Maybe all together it's a massive invitation to the Valentine's Day live event.
Hey, I'm wondering if on the back was a capitalized 'R' or not?
@anon: It is indeed capital.
friday the 13th is death night.
sat the 14th is valentines day.
WAR event -i-t- maybe if read backwards. the A and R are capitalized, not sure about the 'i' though. Also the blank before 'i' may be an 's', making it events.
spamtastic, brew day was totally order holiday, this is epic for destruction.
Do you think that Witch Elves Honestly need a Kill everything buff?!?
Is this what everyone else has or am I incorrect anywhere?
Just got my letter today!
I'm leaning towards a War event starting Monday the 9th of February going thru Friday the 13th (Night of Murder) and all tieing in with Valentines day the 14th explaining the LOVELY valentines you all got.

Malathion supply will not be renewed in Winnipeg after this year | CBC News Loaded
Malathion supply will not be renewed in Winnipeg after this year
The city of Winnipeg currently has just enough malathion to fog for mosquitoes this summer, but thanks to new clause in the agreement with the manufacturer, the city will have to look for alternative adult mosquito control.
The city refuses to sign a clause with malathion supplier which means supply will run out
CBC News · Posted: Jun 04, 2015 11:11 AM CT | Last Updated: June 4, 2015
Once Winnipeg runs out of its malathion supply, it will not renew it because of an indemnification clause the supplier insists the city sign. (CBC)
The city of Winnipeg won't be purchasing any more malathion after this year's supply runs out.
Right now the city has enough of the chemical to fog the city for one normal summer according to Ken Nawolsky, Winnipeg's superintendent of insect control.
Ken Nawolsky said the city's lawyers advised it against signing a clause with a malathion supplier. (Sean Kavanagh/CBC)
Recently the city said it could purchase more if it was needed, but Nawolsky said that changed when the manufacturer insisted the city sign an indemnification clause that would release the manufacturer from any liability for perceived or actual damage from the product.
Malathion 'probably carcinogenic' to humans, WHO agency concludes
Too soon to say if report will affect malathion use in Manitoba
"We got advice from our legal department that we should not sign this kind of an agreement and as a result the city will not be purchasing malathion," Nawolsky said.
So far, Winnipeg's mosquito numbers are low for 2015. ((Canadian Press))
But he said there is no reason to worry about swarms of mosquitoes just yet.
"We do have enough malathion in stock for treating one season and it depends on the season, and so far things look good and we don't require an adult mosquito control program. So if we don't use it this year, it could be possibly used next year," Nawolsky said.
Winnipeg mosquito population should be low this summer, city says
This August, the city will test a new product called DeltaGard, which is considered a more environmentally friendly alternative to malathion, but is also much more expensive.
It has been approved in the United States, but will not be approved in Canada until 2017.
So what happens in 2016 if the malathion supplies run out and the mosquitoes are bad?
Nawolsky said the city does have access to use a product called Pyrocide ULV, which is approved in Canada, but according to materials safety data sheets, it causes cancer in rats and is two to three times as expensive as malathion.
The insect control branch does have a contingency fund it can access if it needs to use the more expensive product before 2017.
Cancer risk from malathion low for Winnipeggers, says Canadian scientist

Q: php array behaving strangely with key value 07 & 08 I have an array for months
$months[01] = 'January';
$months[02] = 'February';
$months[03] = 'March';
$months[04] = 'April';
$months[05] = 'May';
$months[06] = 'June';
$months[07] = 'July';
$months[08] = 'August';
$months[09] = 'September';
$months[10] = 'October';
$months[11] = 'November';
$months[12] = 'December';

Now the array does not output correct value for key 07 & 08.
Try doing print_r($months) you will not get any key value August and zero key index for September.
Though I'm able to solve the problem by removing the leading zero, still I would love to know the reason for same.
Even the PHP editor spots some problem but unable to tell what is the problem.
Thanks

A: Generally, putting a leading 0 on a number tells the compiler that you've giving an octal number (base 8, not base 10).
In octal, 8 and 9 don't exist (8 is 010, 9 is 011), so you're confusing php.
If you really want a leading zero, you can use strings for your indexes

A: PHP will treat numbers with a leading 0 as octal numbers, either drop the leading 0 or put the key values in quotes.

A: The way you form an integer literal is important.
See the structure for decimal literals?  Notice how a preceeding zero is not part of that pattern?
Either you have to remove the zeros, or treat your array keys as strings
$months['01'] = 'January';
$months['02'] = 'February';
// etc...

A: Prepending 0 before a number means PHP parses it as an octal value in the same way that prepending 0x causes it to be parsed as a hexadecimal value. Remove the zero, and it will work fine.
echo 07; // prints 7
echo 010; // prints 8

This is mostly used when specifying unix permissions:
chmod("myfile", 0660);

Except for that it's rarely something that you'd want to do.
This is described in the PHP Manual.

A: I just realized this after precious minutes of debugging and table head banging.
The problem is that PHP doesn't raise an error or even a warning about having malformed the octal literal integer. It just ignores the part from the error until the end of the literal.
Damn.
PS: Who uses octal numbers? never did, never heard of someone using them for a good reason.
Hexadecimal is great, but octal? damn.
Even for permission I usually do chmod ugo+rwx is more straightforward.

Wednesday's have now become Danny's standard check-in days at Hopkins. Each week we go to meet with the transplant team, catch up with necessary specialists, review his medications, and get a report of what to expect at each stage of healing. Following these appointments, I will share an update of Danny's progress, what we have learned, and any changes on recovery here on the blog.
Today's progress report can be summed up in the line Danny said as we drove to Baltimore, "I hate to complain so much when my lungs are doing so well, but I just feel awful." The lungs continue to look really good and we hope that Friday's bronchoscope will show just that – but something is leaving Danny with no energy, extreme tremors, and a consistent feeling of either constipation, nausea, or general blahs (ya know sorta dizzy, weak). And today I loved our team even more because they were just honest: "we don't know what it is, but we will figure it out." There is a possibility it is anti-rejection medication levels, or a lack of pain management, or potentially blood sugars. Any of these could cause a myriad of side effects and chances are each of them are causing a few different contributing factors, so mix them together and you get: blah! As our primary doc listened to Danny's lungs and said " I know it must be annoying to hear this, but the truth is all of the feelings you are having now will go away – in 6 months you are gonna feel great because the lungs are doing awesome" we were reminded just gotta keep going and this too shall pass.
So with Danny's overall report today and what the blood work is saying chances are very likely the med levels are out of whack. It is very challenging because each CF patient is different and they all need different things. The only way to truly know what each particular person needs is trial/error and time. So starting with early morning blood draws that are VERY complicated at our local hospital tomorrow, followed by some additional blood work at Hopkins while we are hanging in Baltimore tomorrow and Friday for the bronchoscope, they will begin to make adjustments. There is reason to believe the right mix will be found quick and Danny will feel better in the next few days….. but it is also very possible that he won't and we may even need to start doing some tweaking while Dan is in patient. All remains to be seen, but I think it is encouraging to imagine that this exact time next week we could have some real solutions on our hands.
During our Wednesday appointment our only specialist was our dietician. Her report was really good in terms of Danny gaining weight (something noted during our appointment two weeks ago that needed to happen) and some helpful adjustments he had made on his food choices (not perfect…..but I was eating a bag of party mix during this segment of our appointment so ya know…. we all try….), but that we needed to keep working on it. The only frustration was the reality that we are still trying to understand the insulin and blood sugars game. It is so much harder than you would ever think and we are absolutely STILL on the learning curve. Thankfully she was patient and we received a new set of instructions to try.
This week we will have the bronchoscope on Friday which will provide insight to what the lungs actually look like, allow the docs to take samples, and help us know where Danny falls on his healing spectrum. The last one of these procedures on December 29 did end up requiring an increase of steroids, with a hospitalization to facilitate it – but the response to those meds was great, so even if we find a little bit of abnormality there is a lot of hope it will be fairly easily remedied.
This is something that is still not really on the table for Danny – and you know what for many at this stage it has already started to happen so we are very blessed. But we are constantly reminded that it can happen at any time, but luckily it often starts at a manageable phase. Friday's procedure will reveal the most details surrounding this topic.
We were told that both the Hopkins team is human and that Danny and I are human. This means there is no way any of us will be able to be 100% perfect during this whole process. For an OCD, a-type that beats herself up on the regular for not doing more, or thinking if I could just get a little more organized maybe Danny would feel better, this was a big moment for me. Even when our coordinator said, "you are doing it all right – in fact I would call us a little more with your complaints, that can only help us work with you more!" I must have still looked a little frazzled because she followed it up with "we won't think you are being ungrateful or wished we had not given you lungs" and at the point I just laughed. They are right – we are doing the best we can…. with caregiving I am doing the best I can…. and even though there were some scary moments in today's report (like blood sugar coma discussion) that reminded me we are talking life and death here….. no one has died. So continuing to do the best we can is all that is required and maybe not be so afraid to ask for a little more help. This was a good transplant AND life lesson!
Danny and I are married…. we are each other's partners… we are each other's friends…. there are things that we know about one another that no one else on this planet will ever know – and yet I still don't always understand how he feels in this moment. I don't know if he is nervous or scared at every juncture…. I don't know if he is tired or over it…. I don't really know what he envisions when they are giving him best and worst case scenarios. And truth be told, we are often too tired or just not able to digest it all enough to then talk about. This is hard – and it rocks your core. This transplant has changed so much in our lives and we are sometimes just too overwhelmed to figure it all out, instead we just have to survive it. This appointment helped me to really say to both Danny and myself – this is hard and we are doing the best we can! Maybe thinking we aren't doing so well because we are still just dealing and not getting back to normal is wrong. Each week we seem to look ahead to guess at how back to normal we can get…. and you know what? I am not sure its gonna happen for awhile – and for some things I don't think they will ever be like they were. Today we both marveled out how odd the outside world appears sometimes – a household that has two jobs to manage, kiddos to manage, a life that they can lead without a lot of help, going on vacations just as a couple, having savings, – we sorta likened it to seeing a unicorn. And yet, I think we have been given a scenario that demands you stop, assess your life, determine what matters the most and just focus there. That isn't something everyone gets a chance to experience – and for us it has been life changing in so many seen and unforeseen ways! So even if we are a bit at a loss sometimes (there is no handbook here), that is OK because maybe the path being built is more than we can comprehend at this time and just deciding to get up and do this together again tomorrow is our most important win.

Q: Caching issue with Javascript Stepcarousel in IE9 I'm using the Stepcarousel Javascript plugin from this link : Stepcarousel
I have 20 separate html pages that contain some html codes : divs and paragraphes that I'm loading using the JQuery.load() method into the stepcarousel as panels so for each forward/backward click I'm  loading the content of an html page into the stepcarousel it's working like a slider that loads and shows html content on each forward/backward click.
The issue I'm facing is that everything is working on Firefox and Chrome but in IE9 it's working too however while I'm at at the panel 15 it is starting to show things like if many html pages are loading at the same time, I think it's about caching in IE9 but I tried everything and that bug is still happening.
This is the html code I'm using:

   .....................................
   .....................................

And this is the function I'm using to load the html content from a separate html page and display it on the stepcarousel :
function fncToPage(vintPage) {/*vintPage is the number of the panel that the carousel goes to when I click on the forward button*/
   $("#panel"+vintPage).load('HTMLContent/page'+vintPage+'.html');
}

Can you please tell me what can I do to make this bug desapear in IE9?
Thanks.

A: If it is caching issue then try adding a random-number or timestamp as a dummy query string to the page url you loading with AJAX to force browser not to use cached copy

This year CARAVAN, the annual high school service and learning trip, went to Tucson, AZ. With the organization BorderLinks, they saw life in the borderlands, heard firsthand stories of migrants' experiences, and talked to groups that are trying to help. The group stepped up into these tough conversations, hearing about difficult topics and being challenged to not just "hear the problem," but to act.
Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he said, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? What do you read there?" He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." And he said to him, "You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live." But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
Read more about the group's experience as they spent an afternoon in the courts observing Operation Streamline.

SCADA Holes Allowed Remote Takedown of Siemens Systems
Author: Paul Roberts
Security researcher Dillon Beresford decided not to present a talk at the TakedownCon in Dallas on Thursday, citing concerns about mayhem that could have resulted. But in an e-mail, he told Threatpost that the vulnerabilities could allow remote attackers to start or stop Siemens Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and harvest information from the devices.
Beresford, who works for security testing firm NSS Labs, told Threatpost that he found "multiple vulnerabilities in the Simatic S7 PLC controllers" and had developed proof of concept code to take advantage of the holes using the Metasploit Framework, a free penetration testing tool. The holes in question could allow remote attackers to "put the PLC CPU into STOP mode," "put the PLC CPU into RUN mode" as well as dump the memory and scrape device information from the PLC, including the model, firmware version, serial number and PLC name.
Beresford said he had already submitted the exploits to Metasploit, and notified both the U.S. Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) and Siemens of the holes on May 8. A Siemens spokeswoman on Thursday said she was unaware of the vulnerabilities or the suspended TakeDownCon controversy. However, a company spokesman told Wired.com that Siemens is aware of the vulnerabilities in its PLCs and appreciates the disclosure by NSS Labs.
Speaking to Wired.com, Beresford said that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had expressed concern about publicizing the holes, but that the decision to pull the talk was his own.
"Based on my own understanding of the seriousness behind this, I decided to refrain from disclosing any information due to safety concerns for the consumers that are affected by the vulnerabilities," Beresford told Threat Level, adding that "DHS in no way tried to censor the presentation," he told Wired.
In a blog post on Wednesday, NSS Labs chief Rick Moy acknowledged that Beresford had discovered "significant, additional vulnerabilities in industrial control systems" and responsibly disclosed those to the affected parties. "Due to the serious physical, financial impact these issues could have on a worldwide basis, further details will be made available at the appropriate time," he wrote.
The Siemens Simatic is a line of programmable logic controllers that are used to provide programmatic access to a wide range of physical devices, including industries such as water distribution and treatment, electricity generation, manufacturing and so on. Simatic PLCs were one of the targets of the Stuxnet worm, which was used to disable Iran's uranium enrichment facilities at Nantaz.
Beresford has been researching the Siemens vulnerabilities since March and finished his work in early May. In recent months, he has published information about holes in other SCADA products at use both here and abroad. In January, he disclosed a critical hole in a SCADA application, KingView, from the Beijing based firm Wellintech. He has also publicized his research on vulnerabilities in Chinese government systems, which he say are woefully underprotected.

After A Less Than Stellar Performance, Twitter #Music Will Soon Be Shut Down
by Aldrin Calimlim
Even as it's celebrating its eighth birthday, Twitter is preparing to kill off one of its services, the less than stellar Twitter #music. Released on iOS and on the Web in April last year, Twitter #music offered a new way of finding new music by using tweets and follows on the popular social networking site. It proved to be a mild success shortly after its launch, as it once held the No. 6 position in the App Store's Top Free Apps chart. But months later, Twitter #music's mobile app downloads and user engagement had significantly dwindled. Indeed, as early as last October, it had been reported that Twitter was already considering shutting down the service. Well, the time has come: today will be remembered (or not) as the day Twitter #music died. Earlier today, the official Twitter account of the Twitter #music team tweeted: "Later this afternoon, we will be removing Twitter #music from the App Store. If you have the app, it will continue to work until April 18." As expected, the app is no longer available in the App Store. But as noted in the tweet, the service itself will continue to operate until April 18, which gives Twitter #music four more weeks to play its part. In a subsequent tweet, the Twitter #music team said that it will "continue to experiment with new ways to bring you great content based on the music activity we see every day on Twitter."

we must first find out where he is now and start from there.
into believing that we can help others.
but most of all, we must understand what he understands.
If we cannot do that, our knowing more will not help.
and our true goal is to be admired, not to help others.
so we must understand that helping is not a wish to dominate but a wish to serve.
If we cannot do this, neither can we help anyone.


The Chihuahua is the smallest breed of dog; it is also one of the most popular dog breeds in the world. They are named after the Mexican state Chihuahua where they were discovered.
Picking a perfect name for Chihuahua is not easy as there are a lot of things to consider such as gender, coat color, size, origin and temperament etc. An easy way to get a Chihuahua name is to consider these personalities one by one.
Since Chihuahua is the smallest dog breed, names that mean little, small, minor, tiny fit the breed well. For example, Lassie means little girl, Mina is an Irish Gaelic name means "smooth, fine, small". Pablo is a Latin dog name which means small. Tina can be used for a little girl Chihuahua and it means tiny.
More Chihuahua names related to little, small, minor or tiny contain: Alan, Amy, Bailey, Berg, Booth, Boris, Brenna, Brier, Brooke, Calvin, Cameo, Carlin, Christina, Cinnamon, Dart, Devi, Dice, Eric, Eva, Gavin, Gore, Hamlin, Jo, Kane, Kipling, Lana, Lassie, Logan, Lottie, Marcel, Mercedes, Merritt, Mina, Minor, Nina, Nova, Oscar, Pablo, Paula, Richard, Rowan, Santos, Sonny, Sterling, Tad, Tina, and Wren.
One of the most predominant features of a Chihuahua is its coat color; it can have any color combination and can be solid or mixed. The most common colors are brown, red, cream, chocolate, white and black.
In fact brown, red, cream and chocolate colors are very close; they are all in the intensity of the red pigmentation. Chihuahua names related to red and above colors are Almond, Apple, Barley, Cherry, Chestnut, Chocolate, Cinnamon, Copper, Hazel, Mango, Peach, Peanut, Penny, Persimmon, Ruby, Rusty, Speckle, Suri, Wine and Woody.
Names for a black Chihuahua are Ant, Blake, Carey, Chocolate, Coffee, Dolan, Jet, Kerry, Lena, Mela, Nigel, Oreo, and Tux.
We seldom see white Chihuahuas, but we have lots of names for them: Alva, Angel, Blanco, Cotton, Elva, Fiona, Ivory, Lily, Luce, Misty, Snow, Snowball, Spark, Yuki, Yukon, and White.
Do not forget Latte and Mocha, I really like them, they are perfect for the red, black and white mixed Chihuahuas.
We know that Chihuahua is originated in Mexican, which is a Spanish speaking country, so we can get the inspiration from the Spanish language.
Our Spanish Chihuahua names include: Alma, Amigo, Bambino, Bario, Belinda, Beso, Chico, Eva, Hola, Hombre, Inez, Mescal, Nina, Nola, Pacco, Pappi, Salsa, Tico, Vargo, and Vena.
If you want a common and popular dog name for your Chihuahua, then try these top 10 Chihuahua puppy names: Daisy, Lola, Bella, Coco, Chico, Rocky, Peanut, Roxy, Princess, and Angel. They have been proved to be perfect for Chihuahua dogs if you do not care naming duplication trouble.
If you are not satisfied with the above dog names, they try out more Chihuahua names here: Ant, Baby, Bambi, Beanie, Bella, Belle, Brownie, Bunny, Candy, Chi Chi, Chili, Chipper, Dinky, Elf, Honey, Jazzy, June, Karma, Kissy, Lucky, Lucy, Mina, Mini, Nacho, Pablo, Pinky, Rambo, Romeo, Snippet, Speck, Tikki, Tina, Tinkerbell, Tiny, Zippy.
Please keep in mind that the dog name you chosen should fit the personality of your puppy, also try Chihuahua dog names at idognames.com here: Chihuahua dog names.

If Donald Trump is the George McGovern of the GOP, what does that make Hillary Clinton?
I've been saying for months that Donald Trump is the George McGovern of the GOP, the fractious leader who so alienated the elders of his party that they deserted him in droves, handing the election to his opponent. We're already seeing the signs. From Talking Points Memo: A former aide to John McCain, who served both as the Arizona senator's chief of staff and a senior advisor on his 2008 presidential campaign, made clear Tuesday that he would vote for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump in the general election. "I'm with her," Mark Salter tweeted, referring to Clinton's campaign slogan, after noting the likely nomination of Trump, "a guy who reads the National Enquirer and thinks it's on the level."

KARACHI- Head of Aman Health Foundation's Emergency Medical Services Athar Jamal has announced that Aman ambulance service would be launched shortly in Sindh's Thatta and Sujawal districts.
He was speaking to newsmen along with Aman Healthcare Services' chief executive officer Dr Saadia Quraishy and Shehryar Ahmed at Aman-Ambulance Headquarters.
According to Athar Jamal, Aman-Ambulance service, under an agreement with Sindh government, would be made operational in Thatta and Sujawal districts while the service will be extended to other parts of the province in different phases in the next five years.
He told newsmen that around 4,000 emergencies take place across Karachi daily and of them 1,000 to 1,200 emergencies are considered life-threatening if these victims failed to get quality treatment within hour.
About Aman Ambulance service, he said that currently 80 ambulances equipped with state-of-the-art treatment facilities to deal emergency cases are operating across the city.
"Qualified doctors, skilled paramedical staff and nurses of Aman Health Foundation always remain alert to provide treatment facilities to emergencies victims by moving them in hospitals through ambulances," he said, adding that Aman Emergency Medical Services has, so far, recorded more than 580,000 interventions of which 80 per cent were for life-saving.
Dr Saadia Quraishy said "Research shows that 15pc severally injured children die en route to medical facilities and Aman-Ambulance is the best equipped services to address extreme emergencies such as cardiac arrest, strokes, accidents and injuries and obstetric emergencies while on way to hospitals".
She said a large number of deaths and diseases in Pakistan are preventable; a fact that has led the Aman Foundation to undertake major health care initiatives such as Aman-Ambulance and its Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
Earlier, Dr Saadia informed media persons that Aman-Amublance got the Asian EMS Council's award for Asia's best institutional emergency medical services in Oct, 2014.

You will find that cooking our poultry is very similar to what you might already be used to doing, except that you don't need to use fancy seasonings or sauces to make our poultry taste good, allowing you the option to add them if you like them or leave them off.
We suggest a 2 step process for roasting our poultry. First, place the bird in a very hot oven of at least 400F. Roast your chicken at that temperature for at least 15 minutes, or your turkey for at least 30 minutes, basting it with butter every 5 minutes or so. Reduce oven to 350F and continue cooking until the thigh registers 175F. You can baste it the whole way through cooking to get a very crispy, brown bird but you don't have to and of course, the more you open the oven, the longer until it is done. Let rest 10 minutes before carving.
Frying in lard or tallow from pasture-raised animals is a highly recommended way of making fried chicken as these fats are heat-stable and nutritious, but a high quality vegetable oil with a high smoke point will do just fine. Fry chicken pieces basted in flour, salt, pepper, and a little sugar (optional) at about 350 until internal temperature reaches 175F.
Brown the chicken in medium hot oil on all sides and set aside. Saute onions and celery in same oil until tender and remove pan from heat. Add some of your favorite root vegetables to the onions and celery and place the chicken on top of the veggies. Add your favorite braising liquid to the pan (we suggest chicken broth, white wine, beer or simply just water), about 3 - 4 cups, cover and cook at 350 degrees about an hour or until chicken is tender. A large roasting pan or dutch oven works best for this type cooking.
A raw chicken can be cooked in the crockpot or on the stove in water to create a healthy yellow broth-based soup or stew. The skin will become mushy and rubbery but the meat will be juicy and tender. Cook with your favorite veggies in it. Cook until the chicken as done or around 170 degree internal temperature.


Someone on the United States' Ryder Cup team has zero patience with Patrick Reed questioning the pairings after this weekend's blowout loss to Europe.
Reed essentially threw captain Jim Furyk under the bus by telling The New York Times on Sunday that he was "blindsided" by not playing with Jordan Spieth after the pair's past success in international competitions.
Reed went 0-2 with Tiger Woods before winning his singles match over Tyrrell Hatton on Sunday. Reed and Woods sat Friday and Saturday afternoon.
"For somebody as successful in the Ryder Cup as I am, I don't think it's smart to sit me twice," Reed had told the Times.
Spieth and Reed had been 4-1-2 in the Ryder Cup and 8-1-3 including the Presidents Cup. They went 2-0-1 four years ago at Gleneagles and were 2-1-1 two years ago at Hazeltine. But there had been rumblings in recent weeks that Spieth wanted out of the pairing. Reed had, on a few occasions, mockingly remarked that he had "carried" Spieth in several of their previous victories.
And earlier this year, at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Reed was dismayed when a rules official did not give him a favorable ruling and was heard to say that "if I were Jordan Spieth," he would have received it.
Spieth did have success being grouped with Justin Thomas, going 3-1.
On Saturday morning in a pairing with Woods, Reed struggled in a loss to Francesco Molinari and Tommy Fleetwood.
"He would have shot 83 on his own ball Saturday,'' the Team USA member said to the Post. "He totally screwed Tiger. He has no clue how to play team golf. I saw firsthand how bad of a team player he was. Eleven players understood the concept of team golf and only one didn't. Unfortunately, that one proved to be too costly for the team to overcome."
Reed, 28, told the Times after the Americans' crushing 17½-10½ defeat that the decision-making process around pairings was a "buddy system" that ignored the input of all but select players -- which would imply Phil Mickelson and Woods, who along with Furyk, are part of a Ryder Cup committee put in place four years ago.


Music video platform Vevo plans to cut its mobile apps and consumer-facing website to focus more on streaming content and selling ads on Google's YouTube, per a blog post. Vevo plans to keep investing in original content, such as its dscvr and LIFT programs that highlight emerging artists.
The company plans to focus on engaging the biggest audiences and pursuing growth opportunities, including the possibility of working with other platforms to distribute its content. Vevo is run by a joint venture of Universal Music Group, Google, Sony Music Entertainment and Abu Dhabi Media.
Viewers who have used Vevo's apps and website will be given access to software tools to import their playlists and other features to YouTube, per TechCrunch.
The escalating war among digital music platforms has drawn blood again, highlighting the challenges that traditional music companies are having gaining a foothold in digital consumption. Vevo had previously tried to forge its own path as a music video platform but will now continue in a much less prominent position that will see it relying on YouTube for the distribution of music videos. Vevo created the apps for mobile and TV-connected devices, and former CEO Erik Huggers even considered starting a paid subscription service for music videos, per Variety. Vevo has seen an exodus of executives after Huggers left the company in December.
Vevo's greater dependence on YouTube comes as the Google-owned video service starts a paid YouTube Music subscription service to compete with Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. YouTube Music last week relaunched its subscription service that's has a free, ad-supported version or an ad-free tier that costs $9.99 a month with various bundle options for other Google services. YouTube Music eventually will replace Google Play Music and the music component of YouTube Red, per Variety.
Meanwhile, there is speculation that Amazon will create a YouTube rival for its video platforms, including the voice-enabled Echo Show that is powered by the Amazon Alexa digital assistant. Amazon filed trademark requests in December for Amazontube and Opentube, per Digital Trends. Amazon that month also registered the AlexaOpenTube.com, AmazonAlexaTube.com, and AmazonOpenTube.com domain names, per Domain Name Wire. Amazon in 2016 also created a self-service platform for video creators called Amazon Video Direct, per Bloomberg.


With the Senate recently passing its version of a tax bill, major year-end tax legislation is a near certainty. Our models indicate that most taxpayers will pay less, but with over 400 pages of detail in each of the House and Senate versions, it is nearly impossible to predict winners and losers without a more detailed analysis. Further, expect additional changes and perhaps a surprise or two before a combined bill is sent to President Trump for signature.

Today is a special day it is a day to remember Michael. Though I can say I am not attracted to Michael anymore, and the feelings I do have for him are too complicated to put into words, I must remember him this day. My feelings for him are nothing like the feelings I have for Timmy, which is really not that complicated! No more than saying I love the guy!!! But I never formally met Michael, so I cannot say I love him in that way or not. Though he did let me kiss him! LOL! He didn't even know I did it though. But by "love" I don't mean like a "lover, boyfriend-girlfriend" type thing. Though I cannot deny in the case of Tim, Jon and Andrew, there is some physical attraction involved. I mean love as in how I love and adore my friends. Since I didn't meet Michael in a formal manner, I never spoke to him nor nothing, I cannot say I love him. I do however love his singing. One doesn't have to formally "meet" singing in order to love it. One just has to listen to it. And I do love his singing.
I've been busy, I finally finished a 160-page book I've been working on. In between that I managed to work on 4 size-charts for my Metazoic site and a herps page. By "herps" I mean vertebrates that are not mammals or birds. Though the phrase really only refers to snakes. A reptile is a reptile to me though. I am still tired but I managed to make up a page for herps. Took all night and all morning, and I haven't even eaten yet!! Not good! But I wanted to punch out that page and wish Michael a Happy Birthday. This is a day to celebrate!! As for the herps page, don't expect it to be spectacular, but it will do for now. If there are any herps fans out there who would like to see one woman's notion about the future evolution of these creatures, you can view the page here: http://www.metazoica.com/herps.html.

Q: Git: Open Git-Bash in specific directory I am able to start git-bash via the Windows command prompt in several ways:
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\mintty.exe"

I would like to start git-bash in a particular directory using such a call.

For context, I am doing this from within the SAS Enhanced Editor.  The actual call is
%sysexec(start "" "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" && exit);

For those unfamiliar with SAS, %sysexec opens an instance of the Windows Command Prompt and issues whatever command is given as an argument.
It works surprisingly well.  However, I would like to be able to start the git-bash in a particular directory, not just home.
To this end, I can create an entry in .bashrc:
cd /c/new/starting/dir

The trouble with doing this, though, is whenever I open a git-bash, such as via the context menu in a particular folder, the default directory is that of .bashrc.
I see that there exist git-bash start options like --cd-to-home or --cd=<path> but I can't get them to work.  For example,
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --cd-to-home
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe --cd-to-home"
"C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe" --cd-to-home
"C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe --cd-to-home"
etc.

Is it possible to start git-bash in a particular directory from Windows Command Prompt?  If so, what's the proper syntax?
BONUS: Bonus points for doing it in 50 characters or less

A: One possible solution is to change the directory before opening git-bash.  By default, git-bash opens in whatever the current directory is.  To do this, put a cd call before the start,
cd C:\specific\dir\to\open && start "" "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe"

Since this is being done in SAS, the specific directory can be stored in a macro variable.  This guarantees the requirement of being within 50 characters (and therefore callable from a hotkey in the KEYS menu).  Somewhere in your code you can assign the Git Working Directory,
%let gwd = C:\specific\dir\to\open;

The %sysexec call then looks like
%sysexec(cd &gwd. && start "" "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" && exit);

This works as follows.  First, SAS will expand &gwd.  It then opens a Windows Command Prompt.  The cd changes directories to whatever &gwd. resolved to.  Git-bash then opens in the current directory (which was changed to &gwd.).  Finally, whenever git-bash closes, the exit command is given, closing the Windows Command Prompt session.
Unfortunately, it seems like the initial cd introduces just enough lag between the call and the opening of the git-bash to be annoying.  I suspect that issuing a cd command within git-bash might be faster, but this approach does work.

A: You can create a script such as this:
cd c:\path\to\particular\directory
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe"

Save that as either whatever.cmd or whatever.bat and double click it.
For convenience, you can add your script to the taskbar with the steps below. Thought I'd include this since it's not quite as easy as you might expect (can't simply drag the script itself to the taskbar):

*

*right click the script and select "Create shortcut"

*right click the shortcut you created and select "Properties"

*Under Shortcut, Target, enter: cmd /c C:\path\to\your\script\whatever.cmd

*Note: you may need to specify the full path to cmd (e.g., C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe...)

Now simply click the command on your taskbar to run your script with one click.

A: "C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe" --cd=c:\path\to\folder


We have a problem. And by we, I mean all of us. Or at least all of us in Modern Western Civilization. Not only do we have a problem, we have a BIG problem; quite possibly the biggest problem of all time. In fact, this problem is so huge it could spell the cataclysmic destruction of life as we know it. Is it disease? Worse. Is it global warming? Worse. Is it the Affordable Care Act website? Worse. Is it nuclear fallout? Much, much worse. I'm pretty sure it's the worst thing ever.

The Complete Guide to Writing Web-Based Advertising Copy to Get the Sale
I was recently interviewed for a book titled, The Complete Guide to Writing Web-Based Advertising Copy to Get the Sale published by Atlantic Publishing Company. The author and interviewer was Vickie Taylor.
I thought I'd post the interview because it tells a little about me and might also prove helpful to other freelance copywriters, especially those just beginning their careers. (Scroll down to bottom for photos.)
Vickie Taylor: What made you want to become a copywriter?
Susan Greene: I decided I wanted to become a writer almost as soon as I learned to read. I loved books, and I always felt a desire to write.
As a child, I kept journals, wrote short stories and kept in touch with dozens of penpals from around the world, most of whom found me via a poem of mine that was published along with my name and address in an Archie comic book.
Even though I didn't know what type of writer I wanted to be until my 20's when I got my first job at an advertising agency, I always knew I'd choose a career that was based on my writing abilities.
Vickie Taylor: What was your first copywriting assignment?
Susan Greene: As I mentioned above, the first thing I ever had published
was a poem I wrote for Archie comics. Each Archie comic book had a couple of pages dedicated to a contest in which they awarded prizes to the top three writers and published their works, usually a short story or poem about the Archie characters. A poem I wrote won second place. I received $5. It might as well have been a million I was so thrilled!
The check I received had a drawing on it of all the Archie' characters, and my dad pleaded with me to save the check for posterity. But I really wanted the $5, so I cashed it. Now I wish I'd listened to him, since it really was the start of my writing career, and it was probably the coolest check in terms of appearance that I've ever received. I think I was about eight years old.
My actual first copywriting "assignment" wasn't nearly as much fun. It was a feature article for a New Hampshire business magazine on a local pasta and cheese shop. I think I was paid $100 and given a couple of free cheese samples.
Vickie Taylor: What do you know now that you wish you had known when you first started?
Susan Greene: Everything! There's so much I've learned over the years. I guess one of the most important things I now know is that not everyone likes to read as much as I do. So I need to be concise and focus on the key points. Long, rambling paragraphs and excessive amounts of detail will overwhelm and bore the reader.
Vickie Taylor: What is the toughest copywriting challenge that you faced?
Susan Greene: Whatever project I'm working on at the moment feels like my toughest copywriting challenge. I just have to remind myself that I've somehow managed to get through every previous assignment, and I can get through this one as well.
Some of the harder projects I've worked on were writing about sophisticated high-tech and industrial products. I can remember composing sentences in which I focused simply on putting the subjects and verbs where I thought they belonged, even though I didn't understand what the words meant.
I wrote on topics like non-ferrous investment castings, ferrofluids, printed circuit boards and integrating spheres used for spectroscopy. Now I'm a pseudo-expert on all kinds of esoteric subjects that hardly anybody knows or cares about!
Vickie Taylor: What copy have you crafted that you really loved?
Susan Greene: One of the most fun assignments I did was write about lizards, yes lizards. It was actually an art project for the City of Orlando in which local companies could sponsor 7-foot statues of lizards designed by area artists — LizArt.
The lizards, each created with a different theme, were to be placed in prominent locations all around the city like in front of City Hall and in city parks. I had to write the promotional literature that explained "Art Gecko" to the sponsors as well as the artists.
Since it was a fun undertaking for the city, I was able to write creative copy and throw in lots of puns. I even had to come up with suggestions for lizard names like The Lizard of Oz and Lizard Minnelli.
The LizArt promotion was one of my favorite writing assignments. Here
I am with my son Ryan posing with an "art gecko" in the city park.
Vickie Taylor: How does web copywriting differ from traditional copywriting?
Susan Greene: Web copywriting is much more conversational and personable than traditional copywriting. It should sound friendly, even casual, like you're talking to a buddy.
My goal is often to make sure the reader likes me (or my client) and trusts me (or my client) after reading my copy. I speak to the reader as though we are chatting one-on-one, even using humor when possible. Most of all, I try to make the reader feel my enthusiasm.
When I write for the web, I make sure to keep my sentences short and simple. My paragraphs are usually no more than five lines in length. I use lots of headings, subheads, bullets and graphic elements. I think big chunks of text on a PC monitor are a turnoff to the reader.
Finally, you can't talk about web copywriting without mentioning search engine optimization (SEO). When I write text for a website, I think about writing for two audiences: 1) the search engines, and 2) the visitor. I make sure to use keywords that will attract the search engines and then persuasive sentences that will nudge the visitor to take action.
Vickie Taylor: Who are some of the clients that you have worked for?
Susan Greene: I currently live in Orlando, so like a lot of the copywriters in this city, I've written various promotional materials for the theme parks like Walt Disney World and SeaWorld, for hotels and resorts, and for guest services like the I-RIDE Trolleys, which travel through the major tourist areas. I've also written for some big-name national companies like FedEx and Rosetta Stone.
For a long time I specialized in business-to-business writing, so much of my work was for business service, high-tech and industrial companies. I could tell you the names of the firms, but you probably wouldn't recognize them unless you'd worked in those industries.
Vickie Taylor: Can you give us am example of a typical month's projects?
Susan Greene: Sure. Here are the projects I've worked on for the past month or so. I wrote sales letters for a company in Canada that manufactures socks, a website for a Malaysian company that sells men's leather briefcases, a brochure for a Pennsylvania insurance company, online ads for a New York City property management firm, a website for a company in South Africa that leads safari tours, and press releases for a video production company in Delaware. I love the diversity.
Vickie Taylor: What is your biggest success?
Susan Greene: The funny thing is that while I've written many ad campaigns, brochures and websites that have been successful for my clients, I'd have to say that my biggest successes – the ones of which I'm most proud and that have made me the most money – are copywriting projects I've done for myself. Let me give you two examples:
One is a book that I co-authored called The Ultimate Job Hunter's Guidebook.
I came up with the idea to create a book that told college students how to prepare their resume, research companies and interview successfully.
This was back in 1991, and the few books that existed on this topic at the time were complex and boring. I teamed up with a college professor to create an easy-to-use manual to job hunting, complete with hands-on exercises, role playing scenarios and practical career advice.
We were able to sell the book to Houghton Mifflin, one of the largest academic publishers in the U.S. Today, more than 20 years later, that book is in its sixth edition and is considered one of the leading career textbooks used in college courses around the country and the world. Best of all, the royalty checks just keep rolling in!
The second major success would have to be a family business that I helped found in 2004. My father and brother, both real estate brokers, said they'd heard of a unique type of real estate product called condo hotels, and they wanted to break into selling these properties. They asked me to help them write a four-page website.
I easily completed that assignment but then had ideas for expanding the website. That four-page website soon grew to be 20 pages, than 50, then 100, then 500, and it's now about 700 pages and still growing! Plus we have five other related websites!
That venture has done very well and continues to grow. We've hired sales and support people. We sell properties throughout the world to buyers from all over the world.
All marketing is done via the web. We use no print media. In fact, other than the officers in the company, our employees don't even have business cards! It is truly a global Internet business, and its success is largely due to the websites I've built.

Vickie Taylor: What's one of the hardest things you find about being a copywriter?
Susan Greene: Of course, there's a learning curve whenever you're writing for a new client or about a new product or service. But beyond that, one of the most challenging aspects of being a freelance copywriter is pricing work.
Since every project really is a custom job, it's hard to work off a set price list. I try to estimate how many hours the project will take and then multiply that number by my hourly rate. As I've become more experienced and confident over the years, I've raised my hourly rate, and naturally, I've become more adept in quoting accurately.
Nonetheless, I find there's still a bit of guesswork in coming up with a price that is fair compensation for my efforts and also allows my clients to feel they've received top value for their money.
Vickie Taylor: Do you think it's possible to make a decent living as a freelance copywriter?
Susan Greene: Yes, but it's hard work. Every project is a custom job. Every client is unique. There's a steep learning curve involved in most things you do, and even though most business is transacted via e-mail and phone, there's still quite a bit of personalized service in all you do. Some days I find myself thinking that it'd be so much easier to sell some sort of manufactured product.
The advice I give freelance copywriters just embarking on their careers is to seek out multiple streams of income. That is, don't just be a writer for others. Find ways to use your writing skills to generate revenue beyond writing for clients.
That may mean that you use your writing talent to sell affiliate products on auction websites like eBay. It may mean that you create e-books or other types of information products that you market online. It could mean going into a partnership with one of your clients in which in lieu of copywriting fees, you get stock in the company or a percentage of sales for your contribution.
In my case, my freelance copywriting revenue is well-supplemented by the royalties I get from the textbook I wrote, The Ultimate Job Hunter's Guidebook. I also am a principal in Condo Hotel Center,www.CondoHotelCenter.com, the internet-based real estate company I started with family members that I alluded to earlier.
Vickie Taylor: Can you offer any other advice to freelance copywriters?
Susan Greene: Yes, one thing I tell most copywriters trying to launch their careers is to try to be more than "just a writer."
If you can also act as a marketing consultant, search engine optimization expert or find some specialty or copywriting niche that makes you unique and adds value to what you can provide to a client, you'll have the ability to 1) differentiate yourself from competitors, and 2) charger higher rates (read: less work, more money!).
Vickie Taylor: What do you like about being a writer?
Susan Greene: From a professional standpoint, I most like learning about different subjects. I love to delve into a new topic, immerse myself in reading about it, and then find a way to compose what I've learned into interesting, informative copy.
The research aspects of my job are as much fun to me as the actual writing. I like to tell people that every day I get a little smarter. At this rate, I expect to be a genius by the time I turn 90!
On a personal level, part of what I like about being a writer is that I can do my job from home. I have two children, and I am here when they get home from school. I'm also involved in their athletics and extracurricular activities.
Also, because I don't spend time commuting or in meetings, I have more hours to do the things I love which include athletics (I'm one hell of a kickboxer!) and reading.
Vickie Taylor: You've been a writing professional for more than 20 years. How would you say things have changed in recent years?
Susan Greene: The Internet has changed EVERYTHING! While in previous years my work primarily consisted of print media—brochures, public relations materials, newsletters and ads—today I spend nearly all of my time creating copy for web sites and e-newsletters.
I've had to develop an understanding of Internet marketing and search engine optimization as well as hone a conversational writing style that converts web site visitors into customers. Lately, I've had to focus on learning about Web 2.0 and social networking online.
From the standpoint of getting work done, the Internet has made my life immeasurably easier. Now I can do most research without even putting on a pair of shoes. No more long days at the library or lengthy meetings or phone conversations with experts or my clients.
And, of course, the pace at which work gets done is so much faster. I'm sure this would apply not just to copywriting but to nearly every business. It sounds trite to say it, but I really don't know how I survived without Google and e-mail.
Vickie Taylor: Did you study copywriting at school?
Susan Greene: I have a BS degree in journalism from Syracuse University and an MBA from Southern New Hampshire University.
Vickie Taylor: Did college help prepare you for your career?
Susan Greene: Yes and no. Yes, in that it gave me confidence, made me a generalist, and gave me a good foundation on which to base all future learning. Also, because I was a journalism major, it did help me hone my writing skills. No, because so much of what I know today didn't even exist back when I was in school. I'm talking about the Internet, SEO and e-commerce.
I'm glad I received the education that I did, and I certainly hope and expect my children to go to college. However, I think the "real learning" comes from actually doing the job.
Vickie Taylor: Can you tell me a bit about your personal life?
Susan Greene: Sure. My husband Jim and I have two terrific children, Ryan and Katelyn. We're a close-knit family. We live in Orlando, Florida, having moved here from New Hampshire about 17 years ago. Like so many Florida transplants, we'd had enough of cold, snowy winters.
Jim worked in television news for WKMG, the Orlando CBS affiliate, for 10 years as a director. He left that position about four years ago to spend more time with our children and also to assist me in my business, particularly the condo hotel real estate venture I referenced earlier.
While he still takes on some television consulting jobs, he loves the freedom he now has to do what he wishes with his time. I love having the help around the house plus all he does to assist me in my work. Our children love having both parents home, although they may change their views as they get older!
We're all into athletics. Ryan runs track and cross country. Katelyn plays lacrosse and soccer. A natural athlete, Jim does a little bit of everything when it comes to sports, including helping to coach Katie's soccer team. I run, bike and do kickboxing. I try to work out in some way at least six days a week.
For vacations we like adventures. We've been to Costa Rica where we rappelled down waterfalls, rode zip lines over the rainforest, climbed a volcano, and took surfing lessons. And we've been to Panama where we explored caves, went white water tubing and spent time in some primitive Indian villages. In the past we've enjoyed visiting the national parks like the Grand Canyon, the Smoky Mountains, Bryce National Park and Yellowstone National Park.
I'll paste some family pictures below.
My husband Jim and me with our children, Ryan and Katelyn, hiking in the Smoky Mountains, North Carolina.
Me and the kids, Ryan and Katelyn.
We loved Costa Rica. Here we're hiking near an active volcano.
Ziplining over the rainforest in Costa Rica was an exhilarating (and frightening) experience.
We're all suited up for rappelling down a 600′ canyon with waterfalls in the Costa Rican jungle.
Katie, Ryan and I ready for tubing down white water rapids in Panama.
Here, along with my father, we're exploring a cave in Panama. At least the hard hats kept the bat poop out of our hair.
I'm holding up the newly-released fifth edition of my book, The Ultimate Job Hunter's Guidebook.
Here's the whole gang, including my 74-year-old father, on Thanksgiving morning, just before the start of the 2007 Orlando Turkey Trot. Running this 5k road race has become a family tradition for us.
This winter we took a family trip to New Hampshire. It was the first time these Florida kids had ever seen snow.

photos by Misty Higgins
"That's just not me," Julie Gaver recalls thinking when her husband suggested she have professional "boudoir" photos taken. The 57-year-old corporate trainer and author from Frederick County, Md., envisioned those "cheesy" glamour shots that just didn't match her professional persona and personal style.
But when Gaver saw the photos that Winchester photographer Misty Higgins took of other women, she was intrigued. Some of these women fit the fashion industry's profile of print-worthy, but many were clearly older and fuller figured than signature Victoria's Secret. Yet all looked beautiful.
Higgins' photography business "Moments by Misty" happened to be offering a special "Glitter" Valentine's package that lined up with the Gavers' 35th anniversary year. And so Julie Gaver took the plunge – literally in neckline and figuratively in life.
"I was very nervous," says Gaver. "I hate getting my photo taken. But she (Misty Higgins) is such a pro. You relax; you laugh. I was so happy with the pictures. The gift was for my husband – and he was thrilled. But in the end, it was wonderful for me." And what about critics who feel that these photos objectify women? "There is nothing wrong with feeling beautiful," says Gaver. "When you acknowledge that, the feeling is actually empowering. I felt liberated by the experience."
"The guys love this," says Higgins, adding that most men are visual beings. "But you definitely don't need to have a significant other to do this – it's absolutely ok to do this for yourself! I have had several single women who did this for the experience to give this gift to themselves. And some of the ladies I have done boudoir sessions with have been teachers, a policewoman, a lawyer, nurses, entrepreneurs, moms, women in their late 50s."
Higgins finds and highlights beauty in every type of woman. "I take pride in my photography for women and believe wholeheartedly that every woman is and deserves to feel beautiful." The experience she creates for women includes an initial consult, hair and makeup styling, the photography session, and then the final editing and creation of products such as photos on canvas, books and prints.
Higgins does not do any extreme Photoshop edits, but she will enhance and improve the images with basic adjustments. She won't take pounds off or make women into something they are not. She simply doesn't think it's necessary. "I believe the most beautiful and sexy thing we can wear is our smile and our warmth and our love for life," she says. "Beauty and sensuality do not come from the lingerie. Though it's pretty to look at, the real component of my images that sets them apart is the essence of each woman's own individual beauty and her own brand of sexy that I am able to coax out." Higgins aims to create a "gentle, open and fun environment."
Shepherdstown resident Tara Sanders Lowe, owner of Tara Sanders Lowe Event Planning and Promotion, recalls the first time she was photographed by Higgins. "On that day, I hadn't slept much and I was grumpy and puffy. I felt awkward being photographed at all that day, but didn't want to miss this great opportunity so decided to grin and bare it. From the start, the thing I noticed most was that Misty Higgins was kind and patient.
As she cocked her head to the side, one side of her mouth curled up into an inquisitive grin. She spoke softly and was infinitely encouraging. She took hundreds of photos that day and made us feel beautiful and comfortable the entire time." Lowe says she was "delighted" by the final product.
"I have had several boudoir sessions taken over the years and as a working mother of two young children with my own business, I can tell you I am normally tired (puffy eyes) and don't get to devote very much time to looking 'pretty' or pampering myself. Although part of the final product is of course enjoyed by my husband and the reason I originally decided to do a session, the experience has so many positive effects."
Higgins does not shoot nude subjects, but she does try to shed the taboo of boudoir photography. "I try to create art," she says. "Women all have an inherently beautiful side within them. I know every woman has it; sometimes it's just about giving them permission to own it. It's ok to enjoy that side. Feeling beautiful doesn't make you vain or a narcissist, and it doesn't change true happiness."
She recalls one particular client who felt and dressed a bit "frumpy," but came to Higgins for a session, clearly stepping out of her comfort zone. Higgins immediately saw this client's beauty, and remembers the great moment during the session when Higgins "saw it click." She saw this client open up and accept the beautiful side of herself.
"I have photographed older women, women with less than perfect bodies, larger women, women who don't consider themselves sexy or sensual and even women who have never had a professional photo done before," says Higgins. She says she has never had a woman who didn't absolutely love the experience and the resulting images.
She emphasizes that this is not just a photo session, this is an entire experience. "You don't just leave with photos, you have yourself captured in pieces of art that celebrate the beauty of being a woman and that you will cherish for a lifetime. Women can be as risqué or as modest as they like, for those not comfortable in lingerie, beautiful slips and dresses are an option for more of a glamour session experience."
Higgins offers exclusive, individual sessions in her private boudoir studio and has a collection of beautiful lingerie and dresses available for clients to borrow if they choose. She also offers funfilled "marathons" several times a year that feature a day of sessions with hair and makeup professionals where as many as ten women enjoy their own individual boudoir session while "loving the camaraderie and nerve-dissolving bonding time with other girls doing the shoot." Higgins also offers gift certificates.
"Every woman has something extraordinary," asserts Higgins, "something fantastically beautiful about her and lots of times a sexiness and sensuality they don't even know they have."

What the heck is a culture of volunteerism and philanthropy? Defining, achieving and succeeding at the very thing that everyone is talking about but few organizations really seem to understand.
When everyone says that they want to build a culture of volunteerism or volunteer engagement, what exactly does that mean and do we all understand it to be the same thing? What does it look like and feel like? How do we know when we have gotten there? What practical steps do we need to take to build this culture? How does this positively impact volunteer and donor stewardship and fundraising? How do we "manage up" when our leaders are not being effective at building this culture? Many of us are asking these questions but are not often getting effective answers. Join in on an engaging and participatory discussion that will cover organizational culture, change management, influencing, building trust, growing emotional intelligence and vital soft skills to bring a true culture of philanthropy to your organization. Delivered by a team with a breadth of volunteer management, fundraising, organizational change and human resource management expertise.

Ethan Matzke and Alex Folz, for the second straight season, received two of the top three district football awards as five Spring Grove gridders were 2018 All-District selections with two others receiving Honorable Mention.
Folz repeats as Back of the Year and is All-District for a third season. Matzke is once again the sub-district Lineman of the Year while garnering a second All-District nod.
They were joined on the All-District Team by fellow seniors Noah Elton (2nd year) and Takoda Boyd along with junior Kyle Hagen. Receiving Honorable Mention were seniors Calvin Sylling and Kai Bjerke.
Head coach Zach Hauser was the choice for Coach of the Year for a sixth time. Back-to-back state and district champion Spring Grove led with six First Team selections with four each for both Houston and Grand Meadow.
Folz, in the eight regular season games, led the eight-team sub-district in quarterback rating, rushing yardage (1,728), rushing touchdowns (28), scoring (216 points), kick scoring (46 points) and punting average (36.9).
The 5-foot-10, 195-pound senior quarterback and safety ranked second in passing completions (100), passing touchdowns (21) and passing yardage (1,469). Folz tied for second with three defensive interceptions.
"Alex is a very smart football player," said head coach Zach Hauser. "He is like having another coach on the field.
Matzke (6-3, 225) was a fearsome force at defensive end. On offense at tight end, the senior was a key blocker for the team that led the sub-district in total offense.
"Ethan has been a dominant force on defense the past couple years," said Hauser. "Ethan's blocking at tight end was a big reason we were successful running the ball this year."
Matzke was versatile enough to line up at tight end or wide receiver and rank third in the sub-district in receiving touchdowns (7) and seventh in reception yardage (325).
"His ability to block and catch passes made him the key to everything we did offensively," said offensive coordinator Kody Moore.
Elton, a 5-11 (180) senior slot receiver and linebacker, had the sub-district's second most receptions (43, one short of the leader) and ranked third in receiving yardage (576 yards, eight games).
With a single-season record 75 catches (13 games), Elton broke the school's career record in receptions (161), receiving yardage (2,198) and receiving touchdowns (27).
"Noah is so reliable in the passing game," said Hauser. "He runs excellent routes and has some of the best hands I've ever seen."
On defense, Elton led the Lions in tackles for loss (13), picked off four passes and broke up three more.
Boyd (6-0, 160), like Matzke played both wide receiver and tight end for the prolific Lion offense. The senior had 44 and 24-yard touchdown receptions in the state semi-final. Boyd was the team's third leading tackler from his cornerback position.
"Takoda is the complete team player," said Hauser. "He will do anything that helps the team. Takoda is one of the best tackling cornerbacks I've ever coached."
Hagen (6-0, 170), at offensive guard, blocked while the Lions gained more than 450 yards per game.
At linebacker, he led the Lions in tackles with 146 (11.2 per game) and sacks (5.5). He returned an interception for a touchdown, blocked three punts and recovered two fumbles.
"Kyle was a tackling machine at middle linebacker this year, noted Hauser. "Kyle has worked hard in the weight room, and that showed on the football field.
Bjerke (6-0, 180) had a remarkable season, playing football for the first time in high school. The senior wide receiver caught 24 passes for 397 yards for 6 touchdowns and 3 two-point conversions.
At linebacker, Bjerke had 2 interceptions and broke up 5 other aerials. He was in on 6 tackles for loss.
"Kai's speed allowed our vertical passing game to flourish," said Moore. "He was a weapon that defenses had a hard time dealing with. He had the catch of the year at the most critical moment to win the state quarterfinal game against RTR."
Sylling (6-2, 215), at offense guard, blocked for the most productive offense in the sub-district. He was a versatile force on defense, playing both end and nose guard. He stepped up with amazing effectiveness as a two-way starter as a senior after playing only on defense as a reserve as a junior.
"This was Calvin's first year playing offensive line and did an amazing job for us," stated Hauser. "Calvin showed toughness after spraining his ankle in the state quarterfinal game by toughing it out and playing through pain the last two games."
