Home About Distinctions Awards Patronage Congress Biennials Clubs' World Cup

The Photographic Alliance of America (PAA) provides specific services for PSA-member clubs, and the members of those clubs who are individual PSA members, in the United States of America (USA).

These services are of two types:

1) those services leading to PSA members of the USA receiving photographic distinctions from the Federation Internationale de L’Art Photographique (FIAP), and

2) those services that lead to PSA-member clubs and councils of the USA as well as PSA chapters obtaining patronage from the Federation Internationale de L’Art Photographique for an international exhibition (salon) of photography that the club, council, or chapter will sponsor.

The services of PAA are benefits of PSA membership for PSA members and PSA-member clubs of the USA.

The Photographic Alliance of America member clubs, through their club representatives, elect the PAA Officers who are the PAA Executive Committee. The PAA executive committee elects the PAA FIAP Liaison Officer. The PAA manages its own activities and services, and conducts an annual general meeting (AGM) during the annual PSA conference.

Home About Distinctions Awards Patronage Congress Biennials Clubs' World Cup

There are ten FIAP Distinctions for photographic merit: nine in ascending grades, and the separate Master (MFIAP) distinction.

FIAP is organized to support club photography, and only members of PAA clubs whose membership is established through their membership in PSA, may apply for FIAP distinctions. Except for MFIAP, each distinction must be obtained in sequence and, at a minimum, on an annual basis.

Each FIAP distinction has three fees involved: the registration fee, the application fee, and a processing fee.
The registration fee is $25 and paid as registration is completed.
The fee for each of the first nine FIAP distinctions is $85 plus the $60 processing fee = $145 total which is paid at the end of March, if the application is ready to be submitted to FIAP.
The MFIAP distinction is $145 plus the $65 processing fee = $210 total which is paid at the end of January, if the application is ready to be submitted.

The Process
Anyone interested in the FIAP distinctions needs to study the information on this page and the separate pages describing the distinctions, the application schedule, and the FIAP Photographer’s Card/Platform Number. Several reference documents regarding the FIAP distinctions are linked, below:

We need better and earlier public health education

View from Totnes

Totnes, the Devon town that I grew up in, is in the papers. The last few times it has hit the news it has been for refusing to allow chain cafes to join the High Street, or for painting a pedestrian crossing in rainbow colours for Pride. Sadly this time the news is not about the fantastic local cafes, or even the weird Elizabethan market on Tuesdays, but the high proportion of people who are anti-vaxx and think covid is a conspiracy theory.

Advanced Method for Calculations of Core Burn-Up, Activation of Structural Materials, and Spallation Products Accumulation in Accelerator-Driven Systems

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Documents & links

The ALEPH2 Monte Carlo depletion code has two principal features that make it a flexible and powerful tool for reactor analysis. First of all, it uses a nuclear data library covering neutron- and proton-induced reactions, neutron and proton fission product yields, spontaneous fission product yields, radioactive decay data, and total recoverable energies per fission. Secondly, it uses a state-of-the-art numerical solver for the first-order ordinary differential equations describing the isotope balances, namely, a Radau IIA implicit Runge-Kuttamethod. The versatility of the code allows using it for time behavior simulation of various systems ranging from single pin model to full-scale reactor model, including such specific facilities as accelerator-driven systems. The core burn-up, activation of the structural materials, irradiation of samples, and, in addition, accumulation of spallation products in accelerator-driven systems can be calculated in a single ALEPH2 run. The code is extensively used for the neutronics design of the MYRRHA research facility which will operate in both critical and subcritical modes.

The nuclear pregnane X receptor: a key regulator of xenobiotic metabolism

Endocr Rev. 2002 Oct;23(5):687-702. doi: 10.1210/er.2001-0038.

The nuclear pregnane X receptor (PXR; NR1I2) is an important component of the body's adaptive defense mechanism against toxic substances including foreign chemicals (xenobiotics). PXR is activated by a large number of endogenous and exogenous chemicals including steroids, antibiotics, antimycotics, bile acids, and the herbal antidepressant St. John's wort. Elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of the PXR ligand binding domain revealed that it has a large, spherical ligand binding cavity that allows it to interact with a wide range of hydrophobic chemicals. Thus, unlike other nuclear receptors that interact selectively with their physiological ligands, PXR serves as a generalized sensor of hydrophobic toxins. PXR binds as a heterodimer with the 9-cis retinoic acid receptor (NR2B) to DNA response elements in the regulatory regions of cytochrome P450 3A monooxygenase genes and a number of other genes involved in the metabolism and elimination of xenobiotics from the body. Although PXR evolved to protect the body, its activation by a variety of prescription drugs represents the molecular basis for an important class of harmful drug-drug interactions. Thus, assays that detect PXR activity will be useful in developing safer prescription drugs.

Serologic evidence of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus in northern sea otters

Emerging Infectious Diseases
By: , and

Sporadic epizootics of pneumonia among marine mammals have been associated with multiple animal-origin influenza A virus subtypes (1–6); seals are the only known nonhuman host for influenza B viruses (7). Recently, we reported serologic evidence of influenza A virus infection in free-ranging northern sea otters (Enhydra lutris kenyoni) captured off the coast of Washington, USA, in August 2011 (8). To investigate further which influenza A virus subtype infected these otters, we tested serum samples from these otters by ELISA for antibody-binding activity against 12 recombinant hemagglutinins (rHAs) from 7 influenza A hemagglutinin (HA) subtypes and 2 lineages of influenza B virus (Technical Appendix Table 1). Estimated ages for the otters were 2–19 years (Technical Appendix Table 2); we also tested archived serum samples from sea otters of similar ages collected from a study conducted during 2001–2002 along the Washington coast (9).

Ghana: Can the Country Survive an Oil Spill?

Only a few months into the oil business and Ghana already has its Oil City. Takoradi, capital of the...

Media file: ghanashot.jpg

On Dec. 15, 2010, Ghana became the latest African nation to join the oil producers' club. During a ceremony broadcast live across the nation, President John Atta Mills opened the valves on the country's first offshore drilling platform, the "Kwame Nkrumah," named after the nation's first president.

Journalist Christiane Badgley looks to see how the fledgling oil industry is changing life in Ghana and investigates the significant environmental concerns related to Ghana's fast-track development of deep-water offshore drilling.

MacroMovers, Inc.

I own a small moving company that does local moves in Albuquerque, NM and the surrounding areas.
We are approaching the end of our first year, and will soon be one year old 🙂
I run this business on the side with two friends and we have successfully grown it from the ground up.
When we first started it was just the three of us, trying to get a few extra bucks and have some fun.
We started out just doing jobs on the weekend, and over the holidays.
We soon realized how much work it really was and decided that the first order of business would be to hire a couple of guys to do the work for us :). We hired people rather quickly, all through the paper and craigslist. Over this year we have hired, fired, and promoted over 40 people in the Albuquerque area, believe it or not, there is a huge turn around rate.
We have one scheduler, they have been with us since day one, I think the first or second guy we hired. He is awesome and has brought a lot of success our way. He handles the customers, the workers, and tracks all of our day to day, he has taken over EVERYTHING, well except for sending out paychecks, we continue to meet and pay our workers every couple weeks, or in some cases when necessary.

If you are looking to move to, from or within Albuquerque, go to MacroMovers.com.

Emover Help

I have spent a few hours throwing together this application to allow emovers to track their moves a little easier.
Everytime an emover logs in, the system collects their latest moves and updates their older moves with any changes in status. The system tracks all dates, revisions, notes and many other things.
If you are an emover then go ahead and try it out here.

Some of my future plans involve the following:

  • Letting the emover store their password with the system (encrypted) to allow the system to periodically check for new moves.
  • With every new move that is found the user can receive emails and/or text pages.
  • Anything else that comes up, let me know.

Prostate cancer and the impact on couples: a qualitative metasynthesis

N. Collaco, C. Rivas, L. Matheson, J Nayoan, R. Wagland, O. Alexis, Anna Gavin, A. Glaser, E. Watson

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstractpeer-review

7 Citations (Scopus)

To review and interpret existing qualitative literature on the experiences of couples affected by prostate cancer (PCa).

A metasynthesis was carried out which included a systematic search of seven databases between 2000 and 2016. A modified version of Noblit and Hare's meta-ethnographic approach was used to synthesise qualitative study findings and inform overarching interpretations.

Thirty-seven studies focusing on the experiences of men with PCa and their partner dyad were included producing seven interconnected constructs. The construct accepting change vs seeking continuity reflects the range of ways individuals within the dyad and couples adjust to the diagnosis. Cultivating connection vs disengaging illustrates how couples seek to manage the impact of PCa and its treatment on their relationship, which may lead to a threatened identity, including sexual insecurities. Shielding me, you and us reflects the ways in which couples strive to protect themselves as individuals and/or each other from the impact of PCa. Being a partner and its challenges highlights the responsibilities partners assume and the impact of their supporting role. Yet, partners sometimes report feeling unsupported and side-lined both by the man they are caring for and by healthcare professionals. Couples often recognise the value of facing PCa together.

PCa affects both members of the dyad as individuals, as well as the couple's relationship. How best to support couples and how to overcome difficulties in expressing their concerns to one another requires further consideration. Healthcare professionals should endeavour to employ a couple-focused approach where appropriate.

avant Reading Marathon

Although as rare an occasion as a major soccer event, the Erlangen International Comic Salon sure enough returns in 2014, from June 19 to 22! The avant reading marathon definitely constitutes one of the program’s various highlights. In five short and sweet, witty and funny, yet enthralling readings, German comic artists present their literary projects with the Berlin-based avant publishing house.

Among the already published comic highlights Simon Schwartz’s “Vita Obscura” is featured, just as “Lauter Leben!” by Mikael Ross, a publication so recent the ink will barely be dry when it premieres at this 16th International Comic Salon. Future projects such as Jan Soeken’s provincial farce “Friends” are being presented, whereas Jan Bauer reads from his widely reviewed comic “Der salzige Fluss”. Salon visitors might recall Felix Pestemer’s much acclaimed debut “The Dust of the Ancestors” from the exhibition the year before last. During the avant reading marathon, Pestemer delivers an audio performance – in both word and noise – of the peyote trip from the book’s finale. Subsequently, and along with co-author Robin Jahnke, Pestemer allows a peek at their 2015-project “Hertha Hindenburg – Too Big to Fail”.

08-15-12: Student artists recognized at Dan Vesey-Deb Munson Art Show
08-15-12: Student artists recognized at Dan Vesey-Deb Munson Art Show

More than 100 students, teachers, family members, and friends filled the Karshner Museum in late May for the annual Dan Vesey-Deb Munson Art Show artist reception and awards program.

The event recognized student artists in kindergarten through grade 12.

Top winners received cash awards from the school district’s co-sponsor, Valley Arts United, and each student artist received a certificate of recognition. Artwork is judged based on creativity and originality, as well as overall quality.

The Dan Vesey-Deb Munson Art Show is held each year in honor of the late Dan Vesey, a local artist who taught art in the district for 30 years, and Debbie Munson, an art teacher in the district for 35 years.

This year’s exhibit recognized 102 student artists in kindergarten through grade 12 whose work was selected to hang in the gallery after a review of more than 240 entries.

The remaining artwork was displayed at the district’s administrative offices throughout the month of May in honor of Arts Education Month statewide.

In addition to announcing the judges’ top pick in the two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and photography categories, the evening reception revealed the winners of the Superintendent’s Choice award.

The winning pieces are on permanent display at the school district’s administrative offices, 302 Second St. S.E. in Puyallup.

This year’s top four winning artists are:

Two-dimensional art
Jennifer Garcia-Herrada
Rogers High School

Jennifer Garcia-Herrada won first place for a painting of a Native American dancer that features a combination of both tempura paints and black Indian ink.

Garcia- Herrada, who is a senior at Rogers High this year, created her painting based on a photograph of a Native American dancer in full regalia.

The 17-year-old used brightly-colored tempura paints for all areas but those she wanted black, which she left blank. She then covered the entire painting with black Indian ink, ran the painting immediately under cold water, and ended up with black paint remaining in only those areas of the painting she had left blank.

Garcia-Herrada said she was inspired by the culture behind her piece. She moved to Washington from Guadalajara, Mexico six years ago and had seen Native American dancers in her native country.

She began taking painting classes in tenth grade under the direction of teacher Susan Templeton and plans to continue taking art classes in college.

Three-dimensional art
Tanner Shula
Rogers High School

Tanner Shula, who graduated in June, took the top prize in three-dimensional ceramics for a white vase he created featuring a carved relief (raised) design.

Shula began his project by throwing clay on a pottery wheel. When the clay was leather-hard, he used a tool to etch a wavy design on the outside, carving away pieces to create the relief design.

He fired the project in the school kiln and used a white matte glaze to cover the vase with a thin silver edge along the top.

Shula took his first two ceramics classes in his junior year and his final two in his senior year while also helping as a teacher’s assistant for ceramics teacher Cynthia Fabulich-Tate.

The 18-year-old plans to play basketball this fall for Olympic Community College in Bremerton and plans to purchase a pottery wheel so that he can continue to make ceramics as a hobby at home.

Emma Scherer
Rogers High School

Emma Scherer won the top photography prize with a portrait she took in natural lighting in her home.

Scherer’s finished work is a close-up of one of her friend’s faces, which is painted in vibrant acrylics.

Scherer, who graduated in June, studied photography under the direction of teacher John Tylzak.

In this project, she said she wanted to do a portrait-style piece with a studio appearance. The winning piece is one of many painted faces she photographed over a six-week period and included in her art portfolio.

The 18-year-old will enter Seattle University this fall and plans to major in International Studies.

Superintendent’s Choice
Jeff Woods
Rogers High School

Jeff Woods is the winner of the “Superintendent’s Choice” award with his chalk drawing of an old motorcycle shop in Tacoma.

Woods, who graduated in June, used a white chalk pastel fine-line pencil to draw most of his design, which he recreated from a photograph provided by the Ezra Meeker Historical Society.

His drawing, selected by former Superintendent Tony Apostle for the award, features a man standing in front of two café racer-style motorcycles in front of a motorcycle shop. Woods guesses the photo is likely set in the 1940s.

The 18-year-old, who took design and studio art classes at Rogers High, said he was excited to focus on the heritage of Puyallup in his piece.

He plans to study fine arts this fall at Seattle Central Community College and eventually major in creative or industrial design at a four-year university.

Anger But No Action After Equifax Breach

Martin Matishak, Politico:

Some industry leaders and lawmakers thought September’s revelation of the massive intrusion — which took place months after the credit reporting agency failed to act on a warning from the Homeland Security Department — might be the long-envisioned incident that prompted Congress to finally fix the country’s confusing and ineffectual data security laws.

Instead, the aftermath of the breach played out like a familiar script: white-hot, bipartisan outrage, followed by hearings and a flurry of proposals that went nowhere. As is often the case, Congress gradually shifted to other priorities — this time the most sweeping tax code overhaul in a generation, and another mad scramble to fund the federal government.

If you think those invested in Equifax’s trustworthiness and reputability would have punished the company, there’s bad news there, too: the stock has regained over 50% of the value it lost in the days after Equifax announced that they had been breached, and it’s basically flat compared to the same time last year.

The mountain of lawsuits directed at Equifax is, sadly, the biggest chance consumers have at getting the company to pay for their incompetence — “sad” because these lawsuits are very expensive and, had proactive legislation been in place already, completely unnecessary.

House of Lilies

The House of Lilies is a Family Farm with a Sustainable Outlook. An agritourism project for the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide wholesome farming products of outstanding quality. Their mission is to be a year-round local source for high quality food, plants and seeds grown at their farm using holistic principles that foster life supporting nourishing food and healthy environment.

House of Lilies grows indigenous and exotic crops while promoting healthy lifestyles, partnerships with the land, and strengthening the local economy. House of Lilies are natural water ponds experts growing a large collection of water lilies, aquatic plants and ornamental fish. The ponds are part of the farm’s sustainable virtuous cycle as these constitute havens of biodiversity, a source of water for bees and wildlife, and a place to fertilize their irrigation water.

House of Lilies produces a variety of Hydrosols. Their latest addition is the Lemongrass hydrosol that has a lively, bright, uplifting, refreshing lemony aroma. Besides its absolutely delicious mouth watering aroma, Lemongrass hydrosol is emotionally refreshing and acts as a digestive aid. Moreover, the Lemongrass Anti-inflammatory, Antibacterial and Anti-fungal properties are of great use for farmers for pest control.

House of Lilies aims to enliven indigenous traditional crops alongside new exotic ones, producing ancient traditional preparations with a twist of innovation and creativity, using locally developed processes, practices a business modality that follows the natural rhythms of nature, while being holistic and life oriented.

House of Lilies’ strives for innovation fall within the global goal of sustainability. They want their farm to gradually become self sufficient by creating a life supporting virtuous cycle. As a long as a farm needs external additions to operate it lacks in resilience and cannot be sustainable. Achieving this goal requires a broad spectrum of actions that converge together over a long range of time. The use of renewable energy, rain water collection, recycling of wastes in the farm, growth of indigenous crops, inter-copping, companion planting, water and energy saving measures, raising of animals, producing our own seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, are all single initiatives that need to be elaborated, refined and harmonized to raise the challenge of producing diversified wholesome food for society in a sustainable way.

Each innovation is a candle on the pathway of bringing the light in. When they started their journey, they faced skepticism and finding innovative sustainable solutions has been much easier than changing the mindset of people in the sector. This is precisely why they must keep on innovating because year after year all the pieces of the sustainable virtuous cycle come together and people will realize the importance of creating eco-friendly farms that are fit for purpose … to feed people with wholesome food that is produced locally.

House of Lilies guests community is getting good food and a genuine experience at their farms. When more and more people will see the benefit of their offerings, consumers will lead a shift in the market towards wholesome products.

    PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: Quantico Facilities division is responsible for cutting the grass aboard the installation. Currently it is taking work crew three weeks to cycle around the base with priorities going to the ranges and landing zones. Within that cutting cycle are the recreational fields which are utilized by Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS) sports programs. Due to this spring's unseasonably cool weather and significant rainfall, the three-week cycle is not conducive to the needs of the various MCCS sports programs held on Barnett Field. To mitigate the high grass, MCCS will begin cutting the fields on the off-cycle cutting weeks. This will allow for the grass levels at Barnett Field to be more playable for the sports programs.

Infants Parenting Safety

Will Standing Hurt a Baby’s Feet or Legs?

“Will standing hurt my baby’s legs?”

I’m surprised how often I’m asked if having a baby “stand” on a parent’s lap will make them bow-legged or otherwise hurt them. Standing and jumping while being held and supported is a natural thing babies do, so why do so many parents worry if standing will cause bow legs or other problems?

Old Wives Tales are ingrained in our societies and because they are shared by people we trust, they are often never questioned.

Bowed legs from allowing babies to stand with support is one of those tales.

If an adult holds a baby under the arms and supports the trunk to allow the baby to bear weight on his legs, it will not harm the baby.

Many babies love this position and will bounce on your leg. It allows them to be upright and see the room around them.

Supported standing can help build strong trunk muscles.

Other ways to build strong muscles in infants:

Tummy time

tummy time, prevent flat heads
Supervise tummy time when Baby’s awake!

This is a simple as it sounds. Place your baby on his or her tummy. Be sure s/he’s on a flat surface that is not too soft.

I think the earlier you start this, the better it’s tolerated. You can even do it before your newborn’s umbilical cord stump falls off!

Initially babies will not lift their head well, so be sure they don’t spend too much time face down. This can cause problems with their breathing. A brief time doing this is safe though as long as they aren’t laying on fluffy stuff. This is a major reason to never leave your baby alone on his stomach.

Use this as a play time.

Move brightly colored or noisy objects in front of your baby’s head to encourage your baby to look up at it. Older siblings love to lay on the floor and play with “their” baby this way!

Many babies will look like they’re taking off trying to fly. Others will put their hands down and look like they’re doing push ups. Around  4 months they can support their upper body weight on their elbows. All of these are good for building muscles.

Parents often avoid tummy time because their babies hate it. It’s hard to hear babies cry, I know. You can progressively make it harder for your baby without being a mean drill sergeant! Increase the time on their tummy as they gain strength. Start with just a minute or two several times a day. If you never do it, they’ll never get better.

Bonus: Tummy time helps to prevent flat heads!

Chest to chest:

From day one babies held upright against a parent’s chest will start to lift their heads briefly. You will most likely go to this position to burp your baby sometimes.

The more babies hold their head up, the stronger the neck muscles get. Chest to chest isn’t as effective as floor tummy time for muscle strength development, but it’s a great cuddle activity!

The more reclined you are, the more they work. Think of yourself doing push ups. If you do push ups against the wall, it’s pretty easy. If you put your hands on a chair, they get a little harder. Then if you put hands and feet on the floor, they’re even harder. Lift your feet onto a higher surface and it’s even harder.

Chest to chest time can be an easy version of tummy time, but I don’t want it to replace tummy time completely. Make time for both each day!

Lifting gently:

When your baby is able to grasp your fingers with both hands from a laying position, gently lift baby’s head and back off the surface. This can usually start around 6 weeks of age.

Babies will get stronger neck muscles by lifting their head and strong abdominal muscles by tightening their abs even though you’re doing most of the lifting. You could call these baby sit ups!

Be careful to not make sudden jerks and to not allow the baby to fall back too fast.

Place your baby on his back with things to kick near his or her feet.

Things that make a noise or light up when kicked make kicking fun!

You can also give gentle resistance to baby’s kicks with your hand to build leg muscles.

When you ride a bike, you get exercise, You can help your newborn stretch and strengthen leg muscles by making the bicycle motion with his or her legs.

When babies are first born they are often stiff from being in the womb. They will learn to stretch their legs, but you can help by moving them in a bicycle pattern. They usually find this to be great fun!

I also suggest doing this after they get their first few vaccines to help with muscle soreness, much like you move your arm around after getting shots. Generally by 4 months, babies kick enough that they can do this on their own.

Allow your baby to sit on your lap or on the floor with less and less support from you.

You can start this when your baby has enough head and trunk control to not bop around constantly when you hold him or her upright for burping. Don’t wait until 6 months to start – by this age some babies can already sit for brief periods alone if they were given the opportunity to practice when younger.

A safe easy position is with the parent on the floor with legs in a “V” and baby at the bottom of the “V” – this offers protection from falling right, left, and back.

When your baby is fairly stable, you can put pillows behind him or her and supervise independent sitting. Never leave babies unattended sitting at this stage.

Big benefits

“Will standing hurt my baby’s legs?” is the wrong question.

Parents should ask more about what you can do to help your baby develop strong muscles. Standing with proper support is not only safe, but also beneficial!

What are your favorite activities to help your baby grow and develop strong muscles?
Will standing hurt a baby's feet and legs? What about hips?

I am a pediatrician and mother of two teens. I have a passion for sharing health related information.

I did the activities by assuming they may help them to develop massless strength, her mother argued quiet often. Thank you for your coherent information i finally won the battle.
I will keep it up !

About Me

Rachael_Hartman.jpgGod drew me in and I surrendered my life to Him when I was a child. He’s carried me through many heartaches and challenges and continues to guide my life. I don’t know where I would be without the love and grace of Jesus in my life.

I first acknowledged a call from God when I was 10 years old. He put a love in my heart for people and a passion for studying the Bible and teaching others what I’d learned. I began teaching Bible studies when I was in 8th grade and continue to do so today.

In 2008, I experienced an undeniable call from God to write and publish for the Kingdom. I had just started my Master’s degree and had no idea when I would find the time to write a book! But God found the time. In July 2012, I began writing my first book, the true story of Angel Cortello whom I met when I lived in Alexandria, Louisiana. Angel had an amazing testimony of deliverance, and I desired to write a book for the Lord. Eleven months later, June 2013, we had the book in hand and I had officially established Our Written Lives.

Through the next year, I began working with independent authors to publish their books. I wanted to offer a financially feasible opportunity for authors to get access to professional publishing services and full distribution options. Our Written Lives now works with over 18 authors and continues to grow each month.

In November of 2015, I published my second book Called to Write, Chosen to Publish: 20 Inspirational Thoughts for Christian Writers. I published my third book, Facing Myself: An Introspective Look at Cosmetic Surgery the summer of 2016.

As I look back over my life, I can see the wonderful plan God has had all along. I give God all the glory for Our Written Lives and all the wonderful things He has yet to carry out.

Why Do We Need to Know About the Sign of the Zodiac?

The Zodiac signs are en excellent tool to use to help us understand the relationships in our lives. The signs are guides to help us know what qualities come naturally. Libras, for example, tend to be indecisive. No matter if you fully believe in astrology or not, learning the signs of the people in your life will help you.

Your Zodiac Sign or “Star Sign” is a reflection of the position of the sun when you were born. Each one of the signs in the Zodiac has something we can learn, and something that can help us understand the other people so we know how to be with them and what comes naturally to them.

We can also use the Zodiac sign to understand the month and the season we are in. For example, we are now entering Virgo Season. Below is a recap on the Virgo energy coming our way, and a brief reminder of a trait each sign carries below. It is great to understand the Zodiac and use it as a way to deeper understand each relationship in our lives and where we are throughout the year.

Pisces Virgo Season Recap:

* Virgos tend to be attentive and caring, and determined to work hard, which can also cause them to be critical of situations, of other people, and of themselves.

One major pattern for Virgos is therefore, to learn to accept, respect and embrace things and people as they are, instead of judging and criticizing them for what they are not.

This month can give us the motivation to do the things we know will move us forward spiritually, even if we may find it difficult, knowing that no matter how far we have fallen or how far we have gone, we can always find our way back to our source and embrace what is.

How do we find out what we must change? A good place to start is to look at the areas where we have had the most difficulty. This may be the way we communicate, what we say or do not say, what we do or do not do. So take a closer look. The answers will surely expose themselves. There is no need to worry about this month’s discovery process – we can happily take it upon ourselves, knowing that our work really does affect the big picture.

When we build or renovate a house, we make a list of all the things that need to be done and saved and all the things that need to be taken out. This week, I suggest we make a similar list of our lives so we can take advantage of the cosmic opportunity before us.

Archives For Syracuse Orange

I don’t even know where to start with this past weekend, so let’s try the beginning. Here are five things I was thankful for.

– My go-to when booking hotels is Hotwire. Most of the time if I’m traveling for work the hotel is booked for me; but when I’m on my own I use that website for hotel deals. Hotwire has never led me astray and so when I decided late Friday night that I was going to travel to Detroit this past Sunday, I knew how to book my hotel. I ended up at The Westin Downtown and when I told some friends in The D my rate, they were stunned at how inexpensive it was.

– I wrapped up what felt like a month of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day by partaking in a beverage at Blarney Stone, followed by a few more beverages and some food at Mustang Harry’s. A big thanks to Marzi, Sarah and the crew at Mustang’s for the hospitality. It was a beautiful day weather-wise and a lot of fun to hang with some old and new friends while watching the tournament games.

– To say I’m thankful for Syracuse Orange basketball would be an understatement. To quickly rewind: I had a thought in the back of my mind heading in to Friday night’s game that if we won, I might try to fly to Detroit for Sunday’s Round-of-32 match. Once we completed the victory against TCU, I started looking at flights. Less than an hour later, my plans were set. To see that game, from those seats, amongst that squad was a memory I will tell my grandkids about (carriage before the horse there but you get the idea). I get to experience a lot of “once-in-a-lifetime” moments and I never take them for granted. On to the Sweet 16!

– I received a few odd looks like I was some-type-of-crazy when I told people this weekend that I was heading to Detroit. I think part of that was they couldn’t believe I booked a trip on Friday night for Sunday. But surely the other part was that they were skeptical of why I’d be so eager to travel to the Motor City. After Sunday’s initial visit, I’m already planning a return trip. Downtown Detroit is beautiful, the new Little Caesars Arena is gorgeous, there is plenty to experience and perhaps most importantly – the people are amazing. I was in dive bars and hotel bars, pizzerias and Coney shops, Ubers and shuttle buses. And I need to return because I only visited one spot in Greektown, I need to catch a game at Comerica and I never made it to a single casino. Thank you, Detroit.

– Last but certainly not least… I am beyond thankful for my friends. I got to day-drink with my roommate Rafael on Saturday. Marzi came through clutch with the invite to Mustang Harry’s. JAG scooped me from the airport in Detroit Sunday, showed me around and grabbed brunch. My buddy Ed snagged me that amazing seat for Sunday’s game. I had the chance to see Matt and meet his wife. My colleague Robby picked up a nice dinner on Sunday evening. And countless others checked in via text and social media throughout the weekend. I love you all.

To be honest, it took my body a few days to recover from one of the more hectic weekends in recent memory. Nonetheless, my busy schedule offered me plenty of reasons to be thankful throughout my travels. Here are five of them.

– I’m thankful for Daylight Saving Time. Like pretty much everything these days, it’s become a bit of a lightening rod as to whether we should participate in it or not. Naturally, the state of Florida has its own idea on this as well. But regardless, I enjoy the extra hour of daylight, especially considering I now live on the east side amongst high rises and the sun isn’t as plentiful as my old neighborhood.

– Wow, Morristown, New Jersey – I am thankful for you! My colleagues at 95.5 PLJ and I had a great time at the Morris County St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday. The hospitality was as fantastic as the company. I still have no idea why Vegas-style showgirls were dancing at Horseshoe Tavern but perhaps some things in life just shouldn’t be questioned. Our dinner at Urban Table was pretty fantastic and I really enjoyed hanging with my buddy Kerry, who I hadn’t seen in a while. She took me to a neighborhood spot in Bayonne for a quick nightcap before I Uber’d back to the city. Hopefully I’ll be in Morristown sooner rather than later (I keep hearing rave reviews of Jockey Hollow).

– I was awake super-early on Sunday morning so I could rent a car and drive to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. A big thank you to everyone in NEPA who showed love, along with my co-workers at 97.1/95.7 BHT, during the city’s St. Patty’s Parade. The 570 is probably best-known for Scranton’s parade but I always enjoyed WB’s more (I also hear Pittston’s the weekend prior has become quite the scene).

– By the way, the parade didn’t start until 2 pm, but I had a 5K to run in Wilkes-Barre at 10 am, thus the early alarm. A longtime colleague of mine in Pennsylvania, Barry Brown, is battling kidney cancer. The 5K was The Renal Race, which aims to raise funds and awareness for kidney disease. I really loved seeing everyone at Cumulus Wilkes-Barre rally around one of our own.

– The weekend ended with a drive down 80 that I’m all-too-familiar with… that is, until I took a detour to Wegmans in Hanover, New Jersey. It was the perfect pit-stop to not only stock-up on groceries but also celebrate my Syracuse Orange getting in to the NCAA Tournament. ‘Cuse!

A post shared by Ralphie Aversa (@ralphieaversa) on

It was another weekend filled with friends, travels and a few cocktails so let me tell you five things that I was thankful for during it.

– For the second time in three weekends I made it back to Syracuse: this time for the annual WJPZ Alumni Banquet/Reunion. Some of the highlights included watching the Orange beat Clemson in the Carrier Dome, seeing my old professor Dr. Rick Wright and his son Rubin and hanging with both alumni and students at the after party.

I always leave the banquet thankful and motivated; this year was no different.

– I flew back and forth to Syracuse and between the flights, Uber rides and hotel check-in I had zero interruptions. That is always a welcome footnote for a weekend.

– Despite going one stretch where I slept about six hours over a two day period, I still managed to run 4 miles this weekend. If I didn’t take good care of my body, minding both how I use it and what I put in it, I wouldn’t have been able to pull that off.

– It was so great to stop by MetroPCS with Team PLJ on Sunday afternoon. Thankfully with my lack of travel disruptions I had no issues landing at LaGuardia, getting back to my apartment to drop off my bags and making the trek to the Midwood neighborhood. Thanks for having us!

– Speaking of neighborhoods, Sunday night I ended up back in my old stomping grounds on the Upper West Side. I grabbed dinner with Ryan and watched The Oscars at Fred’s, then continued to e’s for a night cap before shopping at Fairway and heading back to the Financial District. Any weekend that can end with a trip to one of my favorite bars and a grocery store is usually a good weekend in my book.

The holidays went well, thanks, but they were different. For the first time in a few years, I decided to spend an entire week at home around Christmas. This wasn’t my first option but it ended up as the most practical for a couple of reasons.

First off, I was heading in to the first of the year with a bunch of vacation days. Use ‘em or lose ‘em! I didn’t want to lose them so regardless of where I was going to spend the week, it definitely wasn’t going to be in the studio.

Second, the weather this time of year can be dicey-at-best in the northeast, and so the idea of flying to multiple locations can not only become pricey, but simply impossible thanks to Mother Nature.

And that leads me to point number three: I needed to be home for not only Christmas but the following Saturday, when my cousin Anthony would be sworn in as Town Justice for the Town of Niagara. Anthony is my best friend and he won in such convincing fashion during the primary that by the general election, he was the only candidate on the ballot. I’m extremely proud of him and wouldn’t have missed the day for anything.

The idea of flying back-and-forth twice between Buffalo and New York around the two weekends crossed my mind. I eventually decided against it due to reason number two and it worked out because it afforded me a chance mid-week to return to my alma mater and see family there as well (in addition to watching my Syracuse Orange win against Eastern Michigan).

A post shared by Ralphie Aversa (@ralphieaversa) on

That was the other nice part of staying back in Western New York for an entire week – I had the opportunity to visit with a lot of family and friends while still taking a few days to do absolutely nothing. I needed it more than I knew.

A post shared by Ralphie Aversa (@ralphieaversa) on

Do I wish I wouldn’t have packed on a few extra pounds and would’ve been able to run outside a little more? Of course, but my Mom’s home-cooked meals were worth it.

A post shared by Ralphie Aversa (@ralphieaversa) on

Yes, I have been taking what seems to be a lot of time off lately. Maybe I’m the only one who feels like it’s a lot because I can’t remember a stretch in my career when I went so many consecutive weeks without working a full one. But the perfect storm of my “American Music Awards” trip followed by Thanksgiving and combined with 10 vacation days created a rather unusual situation for me.

Hey, use ‘em or lose ‘em right? And I’m not in the business of losing… certainly not to the extent of two weeks’ worth of vacation.

So last weekend was another of the long variety, but what I found interesting about it is that I ended up at the studio every single day. On Friday I met colleagues in midtown before joining them at Kelsea Ballerini’s Irving Plaza show. I had to buy Syracuse/UConn tickets from the Madison Square Garden box office on Saturday, so eventually I went upstairs to use the restroom and check something on my computer.

Then on Sunday I was asked by our sister station NASH FM 94.7 if I could fill-in from 3-7 pm. Sure!

I had a lot of fun over the four hours and to be honest, didn’t realize how much I would enjoy the music. That Luke Bryan sings a catchy tune.

Then Monday I was back at the studio before heading downstairs to watch my Syracuse Orange lose… again… this time to former arch rival UConn.

Some other weekend highlights: family made their now annual trip to the city. I took them to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring The Rockettes. The show, as usual, was fantastic.

We followed up our trip to Radio City Music Hall with a trek up to my neighborhood for grab dinner at Carmine’s – the first time I had visited that particular location. The carbs were both plentiful and delicious.

Sunday night after my show on NASH FM I brought the fam to Snack Taverna in the West Village. I wanted them to experience what a typical New York City dining experience is like: dim lighting, close tables, small and large plates you order for everyone to share.

I enjoyed it but I don’t think that will be making the family’s annual itinerary. It was a rather unusual experience for them… and not the kind that leaves you with 10 vacation days to burn before the end of the year.

Wow, what a run.

My alma mater, Syracuse University, gave us fans quite a March to remember. Entering “Selection Sunday,” me and other members of Orange Nation weren’t quite sure if the team would make the field of 64 or not. Would we play in a “First Four” game? Would we be one of the first four out of the tourney, relegated to the NIT?

The NCAA Selection Committee gifted Syracuse a 10-seed and a first round match-up against a team that had beat us in tournament a few years ago, Dayton. That game took place in 2014 at Buffalo’s First Niagara Center. Coincidentally this year, due to circumstances beyond my control, I would be watching the game with my friends back in Western New York.

SU took care of Dayton with ease and hung around for a second game in St. Louis, against 15-seed Middle Tennessee State. This team had for sure busted brackets across the country with its upset of Michigan State, a two-seed.

Lighting did not strike twice. The ‘Cuse manhandled the Blue Raiders and moved on to the Sweet 16. I caught the game with my buddy Ryan on the Upper West Side. In the process, I found out that there is a Syracuse-supporters bar blocks away from my apartment!

This was the beauty of the run for me. I had little to no expectations for the Orange this March. The team’s march to the Final Four served not only a pleasant surprise but also as a wonderful opportunity to create memories with family and friends.

And for that matter, former March legends who continued on to have successful NBA careers. Syracuse’s Sweet 16 matchup pitted the Orange against Gonzaga in Chicago. The game was on a Friday night and tipped around 9:40 pm, meaning I would have to watch the first-half in studio and then hustle to that neighborhood bar for the second.

I arrived at Firehouse to a room full of ‘Cuse faithful, an empty spot at the bar and former UNLV and Knicks standout Larry Johnson… cheering on SU.

Of course, we overcame a second-half deficit to beat the Bulldogs and move on to the Elite 8. I was elated… and as I write this, I still can’t believe I was telling “L.J.” that yes, Trevor Cooney was in-bounds and that the ref blew the call. After he saw the replay, Johnson agreed with me.

Start spreading the news. #Elite8 #OrangeNation #CuseMode #BeatEveryone #BeatGonzaga

Syracuse’s victory over Gonzaga meant that we would play top-seeded Virginia on Easter Sunday. I had 6:30 reservations for Easter Dinner with my family… in Hollywood, Florida. I immediately alerted my Mom that we’d have to eat early or I would probably not be at the restaurant.

Our 4:30 dinner was excellent and afterwards, my Mom and sister dropped me and my Dad off at a sports bar in Fort Lauderdale to watch the game. At first, it wasn’t fun; Syracuse trailed by double-digits at the half and at one point after halftime, the lead swelled to 16. My Dad, who for the record didn’t give us a chance from the tip, was ready to call it an evening and move along.

And for the record, my Dad as a witness, I can state that I never lost faith. I knew Syracuse had one more big run in them and figured that a number of players the team relied on were due for a hot streak. Thank goodness I was right, and the game turned in to an instant classic. Down went the number-one seed Cavaliers and off went the Orange to another Final Four.

Fittingly, I watched the semifinal game against North Carolina back at Syracuse. The trip was pre-planned; our annual WJPZ Alumni Birthday Banquet was pushed back a month this year to April. So I sat (stood) in the Sheraton on campus with classmates and other alumni, along with my professor Dr. Rick Wright, and watched SU’s season end.

What a time to be on campus. What a time to #BeatUNC. What a time to be alive. #FinalFour #BeatEveryone #CuseMode

For the record, I expected Syracuse to upend the Tar Heels and had requested Monday off from work to fly to Houston for the National Championship. But as Saturday night wound down, instead of sulking over a change of plans, I grabbed Pita Pit on Marshall Street and reflected back on all of the great times the Orange gave me this March.

All I could think was simply, “Wow. What a run.”

What You May Need to Know About Me: A Vlog

by Ginger on August 2, 2011

in Blogging & Social Media

Ok, this whole stepping outside my comfort zone is getting out of control if I am willingly putting a video of myself online. GAH.

Ok, whatever, it’s my first vlog. Nice to meet you. (be kind!)

(P.S. The sound is really low. I can’t fix it. Sorry about that! Edited to add: Ok, so it’s practically silent. I fail at vlogging. )

(P.P.S. It’s all echo-y because I did it in a hallway during my lunchbreak. The things I do for this blog…)

(P.P.P.S. I blink a lot when I’m nervous apparently. I should have mentioned that too)

(P.P.P.P.S. Wow, I make some strange faces sometimes. I really should just take this thing down.)

shasta August 2, 2011 at 4:53 pm

Yay, I got to see it before you (possibly) take it down!

Katherine August 2, 2011 at 5:13 pm

As I recall, not only when you are nervous.

Brooke August 2, 2011 at 5:36 pm

I was totally just holding my laptop up to my hear to try to hear. I wasn’t very successful, so you can give me the live demo on Thursday 🙂

Laura Lohr | My Beautiful Life August 2, 2011 at 10:52 pm

I couldn’t hear it either, but maybe because SHARK WEEK is so loud on the television. (Thanks, Hubby)

Have fun and I’ll see you there! 🙂

Megan August 3, 2011 at 12:10 am

It was hard to hear , for sure, but I think I got most of it. It’s funny because I already met you (obviously,) so I wonder if I would have noticed these things more if I had seen this first? You seemed perfectly wonderful to me!

Erin August 3, 2011 at 10:22 am

Yeahhhhhhhhh! Pre-BlogHer Vloghers!! Loved it! You’re adorable and if I see you doing anything with your nose I’m taking you to the hospital. 😉

Kim August 3, 2011 at 12:12 pm

I thought this was good! I could hear it okay, haha. It is nice to put a voice with the face/blog. Have fun at BlogHer!

Hannah August 10, 2011 at 7:01 am

Awesome for being so brave! I also love the end part about drinking 🙂

Save It

I wrote and co-directed a film this weekend for the Go Green 48 hour film challenge. Our theme was “Save The Planet”. Inspiring!

You can see our entry here, and maybe rate it five stars so that I can go to Las Vegas, thus giving the film a massive carbon footprint. I think that would be good.

Of course, to view it you have to sign up to the 48 Go Green website, so I’d understand if you couldn’t be bothered. It’s only about saving the planet after all. Why not kill a polar bear while you’re not rating my film five stars? You might as well. God.

Big L: The Greatest Rapper We Barely Knew

Lamont Coleman aka “Big L”
May 30, 1974 – February 15, 199
By Mic Cool

This is the story of Lamont Coleman better known to hip hop heads as “Big L”.  Born in Harlem, New York in 1974, his father left when he was a child. At the tender age of 12, “Little L” as he was then known, started free-styling against people in his neighborhood. Then he founded a group “3 The Hard Way” which he quickly disbanded. By the summer of 1990 he had changed his name to “Big L” to impress one of his female friends and would go on to meet Lord Finesse at an autograph session. The 16 year old L kicked a rhyme and they exchanged numbers. All Coleman wanted to originally do was battle wether on a street corner, in the hallways, beating on a wall, or simply chilling with his friends at a house party.

In ‘91 he recorded various demos while forming another click “Children of the Corn” consisting of Harlem rappers Bloodshed, McGruff, a young Ma$e(then Murda Mase), and Cam’ron (then Killa Cam). In 1991 Lord Finesse takes Big L under his wing as he promotes his upcoming album, leading to Big L’s first television appearance on YO! MTV Raps. Next in 1992 he won an amateur freestyle battle where he beat out 2,000 contestants to be crowned champion. Big L was vicious with the battles. This is how he earned money, battling anyone who wanted to test his lyrical prowess.

He signs his first deal to Columbia Records and joined DJ Finesses “Digging in The Crates Crew”, consisting of; Diamond D, O.C., Fat Joe, Buckwild, Showbiz, and AG. All of which are New York natives, although he was the lone representative from Harlem. In 1993 he penned the first so called horror core single “Devils Son”. He said he wrote the song because he was a fan of horror flicks plus the things he had seen in his neighborhood were truly scary. By 1995 he drops his debut LP  Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous which spawned the singles “ Put it On”, “MVP”, and “No Endz, No Skinz”. The album is a critical success but has trouble selling units.

Come 1996 he was then released from Columbia over creative differences. While working on his sophomore album The Big Picture, one of his boys Bloodshed from “COTC” died in a car accident. In 1998 he formed his own independent label “Flamboyant Ent” which was planned to distribute the kind of hip hop that sold without top 40 samples or r&b hooks. Next he put out his biggest single “Ebonics” using lingo or slang the African American community invented. At this time he caught the eye of Dame Dash the CEO of one of the biggest rap labels Roc-A-Fella Records, and a childhood friend from his Harlem days. At this time Dame Dash and Jay-Z were trying to sign Big L to Roc-A-Fella but were caught up on minor disagreements that they working out.

What happened on the cusp of this huge deal would be devastating. On February 15th, 1999 Big L was killed. He was shot 9 times to the body and face during a drive by shooting. Since his death he’s been regarded as one of the most auspicious story tellers in hip hop history, and one of the most under rated lyricist ever notable for using a rhyme style called “compounding”. He was a master of the punchline. With raps deadlier than a snakebite, yet cooler than a uptown pimp, he is larger than life.

Big L lives on!

Community leaders hope funding continues for this important initiative

Whether you’re a business looking for ways to promote safer streets or you’re a resident wanting to start a seniors group, there are City staff dedicated to your community to help you. These resource people are professionals in policing, social services, and economic development.

And Ian Robertson, the new revitalization coordinator for the Avenue Initiative, has a voice with all of them.

“I have one foot in the City offices and the other foot in the community,” he says.

Robertson’s mandate is to lend support to the various initiatives that have sprung from Alberta Avenue’s revitalization, and to the people who are still bringing them to life.

“The revitalization coordinator plays an integral role, liaising with a variety of objectives and programs in the revitalization zone,” explains Robertson.

City council launched the Avenue Initiative in 2005, and since then City resources have augmented policing, streetscape and infrastructure, storefront beautification, and a host of grassroots community events, to name just a few enhancements.

Last year, the eight neighbourhoods in the Avenue revitalization zone learned the allotted time frame for revitalization was coming to an end, along with the dollars that came with it. Community leaders called for the city to keep funds flowing. The concern was that progress already made toward meaningful and sustainable social gains was at risk of falling away without continued resources and dollars.

On April 16, city council will be making a decision on continued funding and hiring a resource staff member. | Kate Wilson

Meanwhile, Robertson has stepped in to fill the position left vacant when Judy Allan, the Avenue Initiative coordinator for several years, retired last summer. He started his new role in January 2019.

Robertson works directly with community leaders via the Alberta Avenue District Council, which includes the seven community leagues in the Avenue revitalization zone, the Alberta Avenue Business Association, Arts on the Ave, and the Rat Creek Press.

He also works with the other resource people, including Neighbourhood Resource Coordinators, the Community Development Social Worker, Abundant Community staff, and others. He makes sure the City hears the community’s voice.

“Requests that come from the community, I link them with the services of the City,” explains Robertson.

Robertson comes to his new position with a strong background in administration and recreation. He has worked for the City for 12 years in a number of roles, but his passion is building relationships in the community.

“I love to work with people, it’s why I sought out this role,” he says. “It is such a rewarding opportunity because I get to work with people for tangible results.”

For this next phase of revitalization, known as Revitalization 2.0, he would like to see better ways to quantify the outcomes of revitalization. A sense-of-community index is just one example.

“This can be measured,” says Robertson. “How the neighbourhoods at ground level are feeling about what they see and how they understand the results.”

These measurements demonstrate how the Avenue Initiative is making strides in supporting the City’s principle of connectedness, he explains.

A decision by city council on continued support for Avenue revitalization is happening April 16. Council will be considering two components: funding and hiring a resource person to coordinate the next phase of revitalization. The funding formula translates to about $200,000 over the next four years.

Community members with questions about the Avenue revitalization program and funding supports can connect with Ian Robertson or Karen Mykietka, Alberta Avenue District Council Chair, or your community league (Alberta Avenue, Delton, Eastwood, Elmwood Park, Parkdale/Cromdale, Spruce Avenue, or Westwood).

Collagen is what provides your skin with its structure, tone and youthful appearance. Over 70% of your collagen is found in the lower layer of your skin. As we get older, our collagen begins to deplete. A lack of collagen in the lower layer is how wrinkles first begin to form.
