text: Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2005 14:05:21 -0800 (PST) From: Rj Gilmore Subject: True Love with Justin Timberlake - 9 - 10 Ok, here is the long awaited Chapter Nine. After about four long years. I think it is best for me to finish a project that was unfinished. (Smile) This story is in by no means implying that Justin Timberlake or any of the other memebers of NSync are gay. This is just a story. Not real. Ok, on with the story. CHAPTER NINE 'It all seems like a dream now. When I think about him. When I see him on TV, or find him in a magazine. So many years since I had actually seen him in person. Holding him. Kissing him... NO. NO. I won't. I refuse to think about him. You have been so good. You haven't thought about him for months. Hes found... (sigh)... hes found another.' "RJ?" I was instantly torn out of my thoughts as I heard someone ask my name. Looking up, I found myself face to face with one of my roommates Lana. "Yes Lana," I replied glancing around. We were standing in my living room. It took me a minute to realise why I was standing there. "Sweetie, are you alright?" She asked me. "I was talking to you and it looked like you had kind of zoned out. Just making sure you were okay." I forced a smile. "Y-..yea. I am alright.Sorry. I didn't mean to break focus. I guess it was something you had said that made me think of something else." She frowned. "Well what I was asking you was if you wanted to go ahead and pack the breakable things or wait until we had everything else packed." 'Justin, I don't want to pack! I don't want to leave you! Just because of some threatening phone call?!' I shook the memories out of my head. "Um,... lets pack everything else first then we will work on the breakable things." Lana shook her head okay, and walked into the bedroom to finish putting our things in boxes. I let out a moan, and set down on the couch. Looking around my almost empty apartment, I smiled to myself. Four years. It took me four years to actually get somewhere with my life. * * * * * * * * After the incident of the phone call, Justin, the boys, and including Britney had all felt that I should leave. Not that they had wanted me to. They just felt that the extreme purpose of a phone call like that might put us all in danger. They had told me that they would see if they recieved another phone call and let me know from there. I never heard from any of them. I didn't recieve a phone call from them or from the anonymous threatening voice. I let it slide for a week, thinking they must all be busy. But being Justin's boyfriend made it hard to let things go. After another week I had become worried. Three weeks went by and worried became anxious. Anxious became furious by the fifth week. Why hasn't he called?! Whats going on?! Of course I had not told my mother at all about Justin and I. I knew that would be a mistake. He would have no career. So I lived life normally as if he were never a part of my life. We moved in with my mother's boyfriend as planned at the end of the summer. That was a changing experience. It had always been just my mother and I. To see her with another man was kind of depressing. I felt left out. Like I wasn't a part of her life anymore. Then came depression for me. I had lost Justin apparantley. Now I had lost my mother. What was next? I did not want to know. But I found out soon enough. We had gotten a call from a doctor in Florida telling us that Kim was sick and was dying of cancer. That was when I think the old me died. I cried for weeks on end. I didn't even go to the funeral. I got a job with the insistence from my mothers boyfriend. I did not want a job but later on I was happy I did so. I started saving up money. High school started for me. I felt out of place as soon as I had stepped through the doors. I had made it a point to not talk to anyone. I remembered it had worked that way in junior high. Though I did have some friends; ignoring those that ignored you was the best way to get by. I took classes that gave me the credits I needed to get in the grade level I belonged in. That was where I met Carla. Carla was considered a "Freak"; Freak in a good way. It was just another word for the gothic type of people. Freaks mostly were considered the kids in the baggy jeans that wore the band T-Shirts like Marilyn Manson, Tool, Slipknot; things of that nature. They had also listened to these bands. Apparantley, the bands they supported were their lives. They were misfits. Like me. So I was happy to relate with these teenagers. I quickly joined these kids. They all knew I was gay but they did not seem to have a problem with it. I began to blow all the money I had saved up from work on the clothes, CD's, magazines. It was all so new for me, but Carla had walked me through it all. Down went my posters of pop music. I silently cried to myself realising that if Justin had seen the way I was becoming the he would probably definately not approve. I had just ripped him down from my wall! NSync no longer played in my CD player. All the videos I had of them - gone. It was hard at first. But the longer I did not hear from them, the more I was accepting this. Then came the tabloids and on television that him and Britney were together. Feeling backstabbed, hurt, and betrayed I tried to kill my feelings for him. Over the next two years, I managed to ignore the magazines, Television shows, and anything dealing with him. Replacing him with minor crushes like Ginger Fish from Marilyn Manson or Jay Gordon from Orgy. At 17, I began lashing out. Skipping school, fighting with my mother. Finally after fighting the feelings of getting away, I told my mother I was moving out. She accepted this. I moved from place to place to place. Living with friends, distant family; even strangers. I wasn't applying myself to get a job, and wouldn't force myself to finish high school or get my GED. Around 18, after many places later, I met Jonah. Jonah and I became friends and hit it off really well. He let me stay with him and gave me the inspiration to find a job and get my own place. I finally did so near the end of 2004. I was 19 by this time. With a full time job and my own place I began living life... I even started going to school again. Then Justin began to come back into my mind. Trying to force him out; angry at him for not calling me and dating other people. But for some reason this time it was becoming impossible to do. I did everything I could once more to push him out. Hanging out with Carla, working overtime, cleaning and already spotless house. Nothing was working. Then Lana and her sister Gabby came into my life. They were two girls that had had so much strife and struggle in their lives. I had met Lana at the mall of all places and we thought each other unique and decided to keep in touch and be friends. It wasn't until later that I find they had been living in a hotel they could hardly afford. Lana's sister had worked as a waitress in a restaurant nearby my home - working as much as she could to survive. Though I only had one bedroom, my heart called out to them and told them to come and stay with me to save money and get their own place. After many hours of convincing they did so. **** **** So here I was. My life had changed so much. But it felt empty. Justin. So many things that I want to say to you. So many things I am dying to ask you. My heart is broken. I have been in denial of loving you for a long time. CHAPTER TEN "Here is a toast," Gabby said holding up her glass of Kool-Aid. "To us. And may this new chapter in our lives be a good one." We held up our glasses and clinked them against one another. Me, Lana, Carla, and Gabby were sitting on the floor of the apartment drinking Kool-Aid and eating pizza. We had been packing all day, getting ready to move to another state. California. Lana was a photographer and had gotten a contract deal to do photo shoots of famous celebrities. This job required her to move to Los Angeles. Gabby being her sister, was not letting her go alone. And I, wanting to get out of Texas and just go somewhere new, figured this would be the perfect oppurtunity.So we all decided that we would still be living with one anothe- only this time in Los Angeles. Our apartment was almost empty. We only had a few more things to pack before we left for our new home the next day. Carla was not going. She had only come to help us pack. I had to spend thiry minutes consoling her and promising her that I would see her again. "Lets all say a toast," Lana implied, taking a bite of her pizza and then picking up her glass again. "May this be a new adventure for all of us and.. that I can actually keep this job." We clinked glasses. I picked up my glass of the liquid drink."Yes may you keep this job, and... and may we all be wealthy in our new adventure." "Money is good." Gabby said nodding her head. "May we be very wealthy!" Carla picked up her glass. "May I see you all once more, and..." She stopped and looked at me. "May whatever troubles RJ has been dealing with all the time that I have known him, cease to exist and may we get to see a happier RJ." I stared at her, shocked. "What do you mean, troubles that I have been dealing with?" Carla smiled a reassuring smile as to let me know she did not mean to offend me. "Something bothers you RJ. I can see that. Everyone can see it. Now, I am not going to pry you of what it could be, but it seems you are hiding something. And whatever it is, its hurting you." I didn't say anything. Lana, who was always good at easing the tension in a room, noticed that I was getting uncomfortable with the conversation. "Hey, how about a movie?" Lana asked. No one said anything. "It's our last night in this house," Lana continued. "Let alone our last night with all four of us being together. Lets go see a movie or something." Happy that the conversation was over before it even began, we all got up and headed out for a night out on the town. A WEEK LATER I pulled up to the building where Lana was doing her photo shoot. Turning off the car, I glanced at my watch. I was on time. Hopping out of the car, I made my way to the building and took a breath. I was nervous. Lana had called my cell phone earlier that morning and asked me if I would care to have lunch with her and a client that was modeling for her pictures later on that day. I of course said yes. She had told me that this was someone very famous and that she was excited that she was chosen to do his photos for an upcoming magazine. Once she started talking to him, they seemed to be instant friends right away. So she had invited him to lunch. Opening the door of the building I stepped out of the heat, and into a nice cool lobby. Off to my right sat a lady behind a desk. "May I help you?" She asked as soon as she saw me. "Uh, yea. "I responded. "I am here to see Lana. We were supposed to do lunch." The lady glared at me for a moment and then picked up the phone. Punching some buttons she sat with the phone to her hear. "Mr. Beaudrow?" She finally said into the phone. "There is a young gentlemen here for Miss Lana... Uh huh.. yes... alright Mr. Beaudrow. Your Welcome." She hung up. "If you go down that hallway there," the lady told me pointing to some doors behind her. "You will see a door marked STUDIO off to your left. Miss Lana is in there finishing up her shoot." I thanked her and made my way through the double doors and into a dim lighted hallway. Walking a little ways I saw STUDIO marked on a door and made my way to it. Taking another deep breath, I opened the door and walked in. I entered a huge room that looked more like a warehouse. The floors were concrete, as were the walls. Photo equipment was everywhere. In the center there was a green screen hanging from the ceiling and placed in the front of it on the floor sat, what I took, were some props and things. "RJ!" I heard Lana call. Looking over I saw her coming over to me. "Man, I love this job!" She said excitedly. "I got to take pictures of some cool people." I smiled. "Well I am happy to hear that." She gave me a hug. When she let go she said "As soon as my client is done changing and everything, we will be off to lunch." "Oh, okay." I told her. "So is this client an upcoming star, a singer, an actor? What?" "Not an upcoming star. He has been around for a long time. But he does sing and act. " "Neat." I told her. "So why did you want me to come to lunch with you?" She smiled a big smile. "Well my client is coming out with a new album. But he needs some ideas for his layout on his CD. You know? Pictures; the way the CD and its case is going to look." "Okay." I said. "Go on." "Well you have helped me with ideas for pictures before, back at home when I would take pictures of my clients and everything. So I figured I could use your input of things that I could do. Like throw my ideas out there and you and my client can let me know what you think." "Lana," I smirked. "You are an adult now. Working for a business. Not like working from the apartment back at home. It is time you think for yourself." She slugged me in the arm. "RJ, just do this for me alright?" I sighed. "Ok. I'll do it for you. If it makes you happy." "Thank you!" Lana said, grinning. "Now if we could only make you happy." I started to open my mouth to say something but the door that I had come in, opened. Turning around to see who had come in, my heart stopped. No! This could not be happening! He came in through the doorway and stopped when he saw me, like a deer caught in headlights. "RJ," I heard Lana say. "This is my client, Justin. Justin Timberlake." Ok sorry that it all seemed too fast to take in but I was just trying to update this story as much as possible. Please email me with your comments if you can. The story is now picking up and won't be as fast as this one. Look for Chapter 11- coming soon

Buffalo spoils Senior Day for women’s tennis

NIU women's tennisThe Northern Illinois women’s tennis team fell to the Buffalo Bulls (7-11, 3-5 MAC) on senior day Sunday by a score of 5-2. The loss ended the regular season for the Huskies (11-11, 2-6 MAC) while dropping them to .500 on the season and earned them the seventh seed in the Mid-American Conference Women’s Tennis Tournament.

“For as well as we played in doubles,” said head coach Ryun Ferrell, “Buffalo played that well in singles. We battled well. We just could not overcome our obstacles. We had chances all over the map, but when it came time to execute, we just couldn’t. Now we will focus on the MAC tournament and get ready for Akron.”

Doubles, a strong suit for the Huskies all season, were once again the focal point for the team. All three duos earned victories for NIU. Especially sweet was the win by the senior tandem of Sara McLaughlin (Moline, Ill./Moline) and Emily Rogers (Rochester, Minn./Century) as it came on senior day. The two defeated Buffalo’s Kira Golenko and Miranda Podlas 8-5.

Picking up their 11th doubles victory of the season were sophomore Haley Dekkinga (Allegan, Mich./Allegan) and freshman Stephanie McDonald (Harare, Zimbabwe/St. Anne’s Diocesan C0llege). Freshmen Nelle Youel (Crystal Lake, Ill./Crystal Lake Central) and Arantza De La Torre (San Luis Potosi, Mexico/Motolinia) grabbed their ninth W on the year.

Freshman Mary Malkin (Tel Aviv, Israel/Alliance) picked up the lone singles win for the Huskies over Kira Golenko, 6-0, 4-6, 7-6.

The Huskies will next play at 2 p.m. Friday, April 27, on the West Tennis Courts. They will take on the No. 2 seed Akron Zips who defeated the Huskies 7-0 on Saturday. The match will take place during the quarterfinals of the MAC Women’s Tennis Tournament.

NIU will play host to the MAC tournament festivities with the first match to be played Thursday, April 26 at 1:00 p.m. Two matches will also take place at the DeKalb High School Tennis Courts on Friday.

NIU staff lauded for online teaching support

Stephanie Richter and Jason Rhode
Stephanie Richter and Jason Rhode

NIU’s Faculty Development and Instructional Design Center has been recognized yet again for being a leader in online teaching support.

Jason Rhode and Stephanie Richter were two of only six recipients of Blackboard’s inaugural Key to the Community Award.

This prestigious award recognizes Blackboard clients who go above and beyond the call of duty to support, share and contribute to the success of their peers and colleagues in their online teaching endeavors. Rhode and Richter were among 23 institutional online teaching support leaders from universities around the world nominated for the award.

Nominees were selected based on their involvement in Blackboard community programs and their willingness to share successes that benefited teaching and learning initiatives at other institutions. The final recipients of the awards were determined by popular vote from the worldwide community of Blackboard users.

Award winners were recognized at BbWorld®, Blackboard’s annual user conference held last July in Las Vegas.

Many NIU faculty and staff who have sought out online instructional assistance in the past have benefited from the assistance received by Rhode and Richter.

Jason Rhode

Since arriving at NIU in 2004, Rhode has served in a number of roles within the Faculty Development and Instructional Design Center, overseeing the development and offering of training programs and support for NIU faculty and teaching staff on teaching with technology and related topics, including teaching online with Blackboard.

Richter joined the center in 2008 and has become a trusted voice in the Blackboard support community, offering numerous programs and consultations for NIU faculty, staff and teaching assistants.

They both are active members of SLATE – Supporting Learning And Technology in Education, the Midwest Blackboard Users Group, Blackboard’s “Idea Exchange” and product advisory groups, and they enjoy sharing online instructional best practices with others.

“I was humbled to accept this new Blackboard support award, especially as it represents the value that both NIU faculty as well as those at other institutions place on the teaching with technology support our center offers” said Rhode, director of Distributed Learning. “It’s rewarding to know that NIU is recognized as a respected leader among those who support teaching using Blackboard.”

“We participate in the Blackboard community because of the value we gain here at NIU, not out of a desire for personal recognition,” added Richter, assistant director of the center. “I see the Key to the Community Award as validation of those efforts.”

Both Rhode and Richter stressed the benefits the community programs have for NIU.

The center collaborates with other Chicago and Midwest institutions through SLATE, and learns about best practices for online teaching and technology use from the other members. Through the Product Development Partnership, Rhode and Richter discuss feedback they receive from NIU faculty with Blackboard product developers to impact the evolution of Blackboard.

In addition to accepting the Blackboard Key to the Community Awards, Rhode and Richter gave two presentations at BbWorld® to share NIU’s award-winning online teaching and support initiatives, for which the Faculty Development and Instructional Design Center was recognized with two Blackboard Catalyst Awards for Teaching and Learning and Staff Development.

Murali Krishnamurthi, associate provost for Academic Technologies and Faculty Development, said he was gratified by the recognitions but not surprised.

“Our center is committed to serving NIU and the broader higher education community. NIU has a long history of being recognized as a leader in teaching and technology support. The individual recognitions that Jason and Stephanie have received is also recognition for all those involved in supporting teaching and technology activities at NIU. ”

Each year, the Faculty Development and Instructional Design Center offers more than 150 programs, many of which share tips and best practices in teaching using the Blackboard web course management system. In addition, the center maintains an extensive online support website for teaching with Blackboard and responds to faculty support requests involving online teaching approaches.

NNAAC Fellow Manel Sentouhi: Every moment is a learning experience

NNAAC’s Transformative Fellowship Program (formerly the Youth Fellowship Program) develops crucial leadership skills in select university students across the country through an ongoing partnership with our various member organizations. These aspiring young adults learn more about the issues facing Arab American communities, see how nonprofits are managed and work toward creating a personal professional growth plan.

Meet Manel Sentouhi, one of the inspiring 2014-15 fellows, in our interview with her below.

"My favorite part about the program is knowing that the clients and youth I work with at my organization are not only learning from me, but I am learning from them."

Manel Sentouhi

21 years old
Brooklyn, New York
New York University

Q: Why did you join NNAAC’s Transformative Fellowship Program?

A: I joined NNAAC’s Transformative Fellowship Program because I was attracted to the tremendous guidance and exposure the program would give me into better understanding the non-profit world. I really wanted to learn more about how nonprofits function while also working with and serving an urban immigrant community.

Q: With which organization are you placed and what are you learning about the organization?

A: My placement is at the Arab American Association of New York (AAANY). I work within both the Immigration and Advocacy Departments, while also facilitating various youth programs. When working in the Immigration Department, I work closely with our immigration caseworker and together we meet with clients to assist them in filing appropriate immigration forms. The work I do in the Advocacy Department is centered around bringing issues faced by the Arab-American community, and oftentimes the general community, to the forefront and making sure awareness is raised about these issues in hopes of then moving towards positive solutions. Awareness takes form in campaign support, petitioning, and social media exposure. Aside from doing this great work, I am also given the freedom to develop and facilitate programs at AAANY and I’ve surely taken advantage of this. I run a Youth Leadership Program, while also coordinating our organization's SAT Prep Program.

Through doing this work, I am learning exactly how vital the services and programs are which we provide for the community. I am also learning that AAANY is not only an organization which provides these services, but it provides a space for people to be active members within the community.

Q: What kinds of projects are you working on?

A: Currently, I’ve been working on restructuring the SAT Prep Program. I am also working on creating workshops as part of the Youth Leadership Program to facilitate for our incoming spring youth interns.

Q: What are you learning about the Arab American community?

A: During my time working at AAANY, I’ve witnessed immense gratitude from the Arab American community. Whether it be towards our staff, our interns, our volunteers, or to each other, the Arab American community is more than grateful for the assistance and guidance provided. This willingness to help one another within the Arab American community at our organization provides for a very supportive environment; something many of our immigrant clients look for.

Q: How is the program making you a leader?

A: This program is giving me the opportunity to gain and strengthen various leadership skills while working at AAANY. Public speaking, program facilitation, and effective communication are all some of the skills I’ve been able to exercise and build.

Q: What are at least three skills you are gaining from the program so far?

A: Being able to facilitate programs is a skill I’ve gained. You certainly cannot master facilitation skills from reading books or articles; it truly takes practice, and I have been fortunate to be able to exercise these skills through this program.

Communication, through facilitating youth workshops, speaking with clients during immigration appointments, and through group projects, is a skill I’ve been able to better strengthen.

In addition to facilitation and communication skills, managing and prioritizing my work tasks is a skill I’ve gained. When working at a non-profit which offers numerous services and programs, daily tasks can certainly pile-up. To address this, I’ve learned the skills to best manage my work.

Q: How is the program affecting your future plans (i.e. school or career path)?

A: As a double major in Political Science and Metropolitan Studies, I have great interest in learning and understanding the functionality, growth, and structures of urban communities. Being able to work with an urban immigrant community has certainly furthered my interest in these area.

Much of my work constitutes direct services and the joy I receive from being able to assist clients has only further strengthened my want of having a career, which, directly or indirectly, is benefiting the community.

Q: What is your favorite part of the program so far?

A: My favorite part about the program is knowing that the clients and youth I work with at my organization are not only learning from me, but I am learning from them. From me, the clients gain assistance and guidance, and from them, I am learning essential skills needed when working with the community. Every moment is a learning experience and this is certainly my favorite part of the program!

Q: Would you recommend the program to others?

A: I would definitely recommend the program! For those looking to gain experience working in a non-profit, while also looking to strengthen leadership skills; this program is a perfect match.

Toxins In Your Life

reduce toxins raw foods

So you think because you’ve quit smoking and you enjoy a mostly vegetarian and totally organic diet that you don’t need to detox? If that is the case, you would be wrong. Toxins are everywhere in our daily lives. Toxins come in primary methods which are those that you ingest or absorb directly due to your own actions, and secondary methods which are environmental and occur without any action on your part.

But before we get too deep into where toxins exist in your life, we need to talk about the word ‘toxin’ or ‘toxic’. When we talk about toxins we don’t necessarily mean something that will instantly make you deathly ill or send you straight to your grave. Toxins are unhealthy substances that get into the body through any one of the elimination systems. What makes these toxins, toxic is that they make the elimination systems work inefficiently, which means these toxins seep into the blood stream and that is how we end up with short term or chronic illnesses.

Now that you understand toxins it is time to talk about how they get into your body so you can start cutting them off before they get close to you!

Not Just Dietary Toxins

If you have ever done a detox then you know that the focus is often on what we eat and drink and it should be because ingested toxins occur with more frequency and get inside the body most efficiently. But it isn’t just our favorite sugary drinks and fluorescent orange puffs of cheese dust that our bodies need to get rid of; it is the toxins which we cannot control that can do the most damage.

We’ll talk more later about just how many toxins are lying in wait inside your favorite supermarket or restaurant but you need to know that toxins in your life extend far beyond the dinner table.

5 Elimination Systems

The body has its own filtration system that helps kick toxins out of the body. You should know these systems because they are also the ports of entry for these toxins to enter the body as well. Too many toxins can make these systems run inefficiently, which means the toxins sit in the body and often times seep into the blood. That is where the real trouble starts.

  1. Bowels. This is the breeding ground for the majority of toxins since most of us consume a large amount of toxins every day. The bowel is the starting point for many toxins—Dr. Bernard Jensen calls the bowels the “king of all elimination organs”—because it is here that they can seep out of the bowel walls and into the rest of the body, causing illness and disease. The more toxins you ingest, the fewer the bowels can get rid of and the MORE toxins that have the chance to attack your body.
  2. Skin. The skin is the largest organ in the human body, which makes it a crucial port of entry and exit for toxins. Your skin is absorbing an untold number of toxins on a daily basis, but if you enjoy regular physical activity, the simple act of sweating can help you get rid of plenty of toxins naturally. Those with an abundance of skin toxins are advised to use skin brushing (3 to 5 times per week according to Dr. Jensen) to help get rid of dead skin cells and toxins excreted through the skin.
  3. Kidneys. The kidneys are so important to the human body that it was equipped with two of them, but can function naturally with just one. The job of the kidneys is to filter the blood of toxins and excess water. As effective as the kidneys are however, they cannot work as well if the other elimination systems are not functioning at maximum capacity. For example if the skin isn’t doing its job properly, the kidneys will have to work overtime to take up the slack. The kidneys are why water is such a crucial element to a successful detox diet.
  4. Lymphatic System. This is where the body can pick up what Dr. Jensen calls ‘intracellular’ waste and dumps it in the bloodstream so it can be process and filtered by the liver and kidneys. Are you starting to see how this filtration system is like a well-oiled machine? If the lymphatic system doesn’t pick up all of the waste that has made its way in—which can be inevitable to a certain extent—then the liver and kidneys cannot possibly eliminate it all. In fact this system requires regular physical activity because unlike the kidneys or liver, it has no pump action to force it along. Most of our lymph nodes are located in places that are the source of human movement: extremities and large muscles. The more active you are, the more you are encouraging the lymphatic system to work as efficiently as possible.
  5. Lungs. The lungs play a role in helping us get rid of toxic waste that generates in the body due to ineffective bowels or the inefficiency of another elimination system. But these toxins are passed through the lungs in small portions, as gas during exhalation. We trade carbon dioxide for oxygen during breathing, which is (yet again) why exercise is such an integral part of any detox diet. The more rigorous you are breathing during exercise, the more of those toxins you are kicking out of your body.

If each of these systems is working properly, then they are all working together to help your body get and stay healthy. If one system isn’t functioning properly the others will have to work harder to do the same work, and that overexertion will cause them to work less efficiently than they would if they were healthy.

Self-Inflicted Toxins

So how are these toxins in your life getting into your body and compromising your health? First there are the toxins you encounter regularly that attack your body through the skin. The main culprits here are cleaning and cosmetic products that are a necessary evil to modern life. You have to clean the home, the office, the yard and even the car. Unfortunately the products that help us perform these tasks are packed with chemicals, which we absorb through our skin and inhale into our lungs.

Then there are the cosmetic treatments we use from make up to lotion to facial and body cleansers and hair products. These are all filled with chemicals that our skin absorbs into the body, the bloodstream and other elimination systems. The best way to at least reduce the amount of environmental toxins is to make the switch to all natural or organic cleaning and cosmetic products. This way your body will be able to quickly and effectively rid itself of these substances.

Second-Hand Toxins

toxins in your life smokeThen there are the toxins over which you have very little control like second-hand cigarette or cigar smoke. Although many cities have banned smoking in public venues one only needs step just outside the doors of a restaurant or office building to be assaulted by large plumes of smoke. This is another double-whammy that gets into the body through the skin and the lungs.

There are other similar toxins that include car fumes and other external pollutants that have become part of our lives. If you live near an industrial area, large farms or any other big production facility, toxins in the air from these products will also affect your health.

Foods & Drink

Then there really is food and drinks. As much as we think we “eat healthy” the truth is that the great majority of food products on the market are filled with toxins. Let’s take so-called healthy foods like low calorie and fat free snack foods and prepared meals. These foods are not made with natural ingredients starting with the sugar. Artificial sweeteners are used to reduce the calorie and fat content of these foods, including your favorite diet sodas. These artificially sweetened food products have been linked to brain tumors, cancer and weight gain.

There are also the serious toxins that go in food to make it taste like food, last longer on the supermarket shelf and produce a greater yield. These toxins come in the form of chemicals injected into beef and poultry to keep them free of disease; antibiotics. Then there are the pesticides and herbicides that allow fruits and vegetables to grow even in less than ideal conditions. You ingest the apple but your body is also absorbing the chemicals sprayed on that apple to keep the bugs and rodents away.

Finally there are the chemicals added to junk food that include food coloring, flavor chemicals to make a burger taste like a burger or a lollipop taste like a green apple or a blue raspberry.

You ingest these things every day, forcing your body to work harder than necessary to get rid of these toxins. But the good news is that there is something you can do!

Getting Started

Some of these toxins are unavoidable unless you can construct a bubble to carry you out into the world. So the plan should always be to eliminate harmful toxins where you can so that your body is able to properly get rid of those you can’t avoid such as air pollution and secondhand smoke.

In the next week, reduce the toxins in your life by doing the following:

  1. Replace primary cleaning products with natural, organic cleansers.
  2. Add 20 minutes of mild exercise to your day. When that is no longer a challenge increase the time and intensity of your workout.
  3. Get rid of 5 processed foods and replace them with fresh, organic foods.
  4. Add 2 cups of water to your diet each day.
  5. Look for all natural organic replacements for your cosmetic products, starting with soap or body wash and lotions.
  6. Reduce your intake of artificially flavored and colored foods & drinks.

Good luck and good health!

« Atlantic Yards | Main | Time Out Rally in the News »

April 29, 2008

Congestion pricing failure may delay BRT; Flatbush route not yet on the agenda

Atlantic Yards Report

The failure of congestion pricing threw a bit of a wrench in the city's plans for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), suggested as one solution to congestion on Flatbush Avenue, but now apparently several years away.

Though Flatbush is an obvious candidate for such service--which would have a dedicated express lane, fewer stops, offsite payment and "honor system" entrance (subject to random check), staggered stoplights, and back boarding, according to the city's pilot in the Bronx--another obvious candidate, Nostrand Avenue, was selected in 2006 for one-per-borough pilot project. It looks to be about four years away, however.
A PlaNYC "scorecard" clarifies that the other four SBS services are planned to be introduced by 2011. That's likely too late to start up a Flatbush Avenue version by 2010, the unreliable official target date for opening the Atlantic Yards arena, or even 2011, which I consider the likely best-case scenario.

In fact, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority contradicts the PlaNYC document, estimating on its SBS FAQ page that the Nostrand Avenue route would be implemented in 2012. Though that's subject to change, it's a good bet that a Flatbush Avenue route would be at least a year after that.

Would that be in time for an AY arena? Then again, developer Forest City Ratner has six years--after the close of litigation and the transfer of property via eminent domain--to build the arena without penalty.

I Wish The Day Had 25 Hours

Do you ever feel so busy that you actually wish the day was longer so you could do it all and still get some sleep? Agreed. I look at my planner and Google calendar and come near a panic attack sometimes, but staying organized is essential to make the day not have to be longer in order for you to cross off all the items on that to-do list. First step: make a to-do list. Write it in your planner, on a post-it, on your wall, wherever. But write it down. It will help you realize all the little things you have to do and it allows you to pick a starting point. Maybe you want to do a few smaller tasks just to diminish the list a bit or start tackling a larger project to get some headwind on it. Whatever it might be that you choose to start, having it written down on paper or electronically lets you visualize all of the little (and big) tasks you might have that day.

Next, figure out what actually has to get done today. Many times, a few of the jobs can wait a day or three. And it is totally okay if they do. For me, these usually include: cleaning/laundry, printing out documents, and other smaller jobs. It helps prioritize what is important.

Finally, just do it! Sit down and get a head start on your day. If you know what is truly important and what has to get done, you can do it. You have the tools to make that priority list and all it takes is 5 minutes to do so. I guarantee it is 5 minutes you will want to spend time on.

It’s been 3 hours… and I’ve been on Pinterest

You know the feeling, you have so much work to do (at work or for class) and yet you find yourself staring at the computer.  The Pinterest sirens call to you and you can’t get away, or you just keep refreshing that Twitter feed and before you know it you’re reading about Grumpy Cat’s latest adventure.  You look at the clock and somehow 3 hours went by and you’ve made no progress. You’re thinking (or whining) to yourself, “Why is my midterm tomorrow? I just need one more day.”

You: I can't escape Pinterest Grumpy Cat: Good. Source: grumpycats.com

Joel Stein recently released a video for Time where he tried to be a Millennial for a day. HeJoel Stein Millennial was pretty much an epic fail, but it was definitely entertaining to watch and further proved how easily it is to get distracted. The distraction, however, doesn’t always come from the social media addiction, but rather because you’re paralyzed with so much work, completely overwhelmed and not really sure where or how to start. The result: you procrastinate on social media or analyze your fantasy team line up for the next 2 hours. I’m sure you can relate.

Many of the clients I meet with feel similarly when they’re searching for jobs.  They end up spending hours on social media or on sites like Indeed and SimplyHired, but often don’t feel like they made any progress.

Here are my 5 tips to help kick it into gear and only check Facebook 5 times in an hour as opposed to 15.

1. Make a plan.  Whether it be job searching, homework or whatever, have a schedule and a to-do list.  This will give you something concrete to follow so you don’t loose track of what you’re doing or get distracted.  Plus it’s super satisfying to check stuff off when you’re done.

2. When you turn on the computer, DO NOT OPEN GCHAT, otherwise it’s over.

3. As a matter of fact, just stay off the internet all together if you don’t need to use the internet.

4. If you have to do “research” open minimal tabs and write down the sites you want to use to help do research.  For some reason, writing things down seems more permanent, like you’re more obligated to stick to it.  It’s like when you tell somebody you’re running a 10K or going on a diet, if you don’t do what you said you would, you feel bad about yourself.  If you need to find scholarly articles, no need for Google, don’t get tempted, just go straight to http://library.northeastern.edu/

5. Give yourself a timeline, I found this to be extremely effective.  It feels like a race against time.  As a competitive person who likes to win and works well under pressure, completing something by a certain deadline feels satisfying.  If you’re super daring, tell somebody when your deadline is so they hold you accountable.  I’m a sucker for the guilt trip I guess.

For more advice, check out this great Freelance Switch article, and hopefully your next daunting project only takes you a few hours instead of a few days.

How do you stay productive?  What is the biggest distraction you encounter?

Yesterday my book, “Discovering Sourdough” was launched on Amazon as a Kindle version. See here: Discovering Sourdough

So I have decided to have a giveaway contest.

There are four books altogether:

It is really one book, but four volumes. It is so large that I had to divide it into sections. To celebrate the launch of this new version I will be giving away a complete set (all four volumes) to three lucky people who comment on this post. If you win you can select a Kindle version or a Pdf version of the book( I also have the ePub version for the ipad available).

For anyone who has read Discovering Sourdough, it would help the book’s ratings if you were to do a short review on Amazon for each volume of the Kindle version. Anyone who gives a review will have an additional chance to win a complete book as there will be a separate drawing of the names of people who have given a review (four reviews, four chances). That will be a total of four free books given away in this contest.

The contest will run until Sunday, April 22. The drawings will be on Monday April 23.

If you wish to own a Kindle version of the book but you do not own a Kindle, there is a free Kindle viewer download here: Free Kindle Reading Apps

I wish to thank Dion Houston Sr for helping me with the conversion and the support to get this project finished. Thanks Dion!

    Hi! I was given a starter from a dear friend, a Tlingít elder in Southeast Alaska who has had it for 40 years and got it from a Yupik woman from Western Alaska.

    I’m trying many different recipes and am eager to try yours.

Once again “Thank You” Mike

    It’s good to see that you have found new ways to share all the things you know about baking good bread even if once upon a time nobody has ever wanted to publish it because it was too detailed. It seems as one good person with a strong willing to do what she or he believes is enough for the rest of all the boring narrow minded people.

    Please go on doing what you believe. This world needs more people like you and I am sure that there are more people who needs more detailed books like your’s in every aspect of life.

    Sincere thanks for all you have done so far for good bread and your efforts to share the knowledge you know about it with the rest of the world.

    I have been following Teresa’s wonderful Sourdough recipes and instructions for several years. These books are sure to be unbelievable – I have not read them all… I have made WONDERFUL sourdough bread thanks to Teresa! The information about the sourdough itself, how different starters from different origins ‘work’ differently, should be used differently…. that is incredible information that is not found in plain ol’ bread recipes.

    This is great news. Sourdough – even in Hawaii. What more could you want? Best of luck with this. BTW, How come the advanced loaf picture looks like the beginning loaf?

  18. April 21, 2012

    The taste of good sourdough is a wonderful pleasure, but I never believed that I could bake a loaf at home in my kitchen oven.

    Initially I thought the original sourdough starter was some potion which had been carried west by early Pioneers and that all sourdough today was a relative of that first starter. I called a friend who lives IN SF and asked her to check with her local bakery shop to see if they would sell me some sourdough starter so that I might use it bake a loaf of Sourdough bread at home. Boy, did I have a lot to learn.

    After receiving this gooey glob in the mail, without any directions, I mixed in the entire starter, using a general recipe from a cookbook and thought it would make my dream of baking real sourdough a reality. Things didn’t exactly work out the way I thought they would. That first loaf turned out more like flatbread crackers. There was no rise but I baked it anyway. The good part was that I had caught the bread baking fever. I looked and experimented and learned that you didn’t need to go back in time to the Pioneers to find sourdough starter, but instead learned that I could create a variety of sourdough starters from scratch.

    There were a lot of things happening online and many kind people who knew a lot and were willing to share, answer dumb questions with infinite patience and then there were some like Teresa Greenway who wrote this all down and published. After a second and third and fourth attempt I learned that you didn’t need SF for good sourdough starter and you can bake a respectable sourdough loaf at home.

    I’m always looking for ways to become a better baker and would treasure a set of books by Teresa Greenway which would become the jewel of my collection and instill more variety in my baking.

    I’m really happy to see the book out on Amazon.com I left my comments there giving the series a 5 star rating.
    I’m grateful that I found this site when I did. I had been trying to make sourdough bread that I felt was as good as any I could get in the store. What I learned here and later in your book has taught me to make bread that is BETTER than I can get in any store or bakery. In my area at least. Everyone I let try it raves about it. What a great feeling that is. Thanks for that and best wishes on the book.

    I’m just starting with sourdough. A few days before I mixed rye and water. Now I’m stearing twice a day and waiting…… Hope it will become something usable. I think your books can help me a lot. Here in the Netherlands there is not much to read about it. So I’m looking for English books to learn from.

    Beautiful cover; the book looks to be labor of love. I actually won the Lane County bread baking contest in 2010 with some help from your writings in getting the most flavor out of the bread. My stiffest competition was a gorgeous loaf raised in a banneton that it gave it a unique shape. Not having a banneton, I scored my bread for maximum grignes and managed a decent blister on the crust. Not quite the blister on your cover loaf, though. Good luck with the launch, and thanks for sharing the knowledge you have so carefully grown. Dohn

    I’m a dedicated fan of your Salt Fermented Sourdough since discovering your recipe last year. It’s SO juicy! Thanks to your luscious photos and mouth watering descriptions I felt compelled to try it out. It’s now my favourite bread of all and I bake it every week. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience so generously and enthusiastically. Long live sourdough!

    Hi Theresa,

    It was just a shot, a desperate move to get around getting burned. Due to years of very high work overload, together with small kids and other family problems I thought that life sucked. Indeed I thought that.
    I found your webpages, and began reading them and felt good about it, as a relief. You have furthermore this investigational technical touch on your discoveries and bread researches that resemble the basic methodology I am working with (Research and development of telecom systems).

    I never thought that your webpages could bring me stability in mind and could be such a recharging opportunity. I am amazed that whenever the mind is at its limits, I begin thinking in “that recipe”, “in that process”, “in how to get a better starter” etc etc and suddenly feeling myself kind of recharged.

    Then it came the day that, reading your web pages, I was lucky and made the first sourdough bread and turned out to be good … no return. This was the thing.

    And all that thanks to your website.
    Certainly that you, through your passion for bread, helped me in being able to not get burned.

    A big big big Thank Therese for you kind effort in showing your discoveries and contagious passion for the making of bread.

    Thank you

    I have read through the first pdf edition of the book several times and it is by far the best sourdough resource. The information is complete and the recipes are delicious. I don’t own a kindle but I am thrilled that the book will be offered in this format so it’s available to more bakers. Excellent work, Teresa!

    This book is a great idea and looks helpful. I stumbled on your site today looking for information on sourdough. I began my starter last week after hearing so many great things about sourdough; suddenly I realized that it might be ready to use and I have very little idea what to do with it! This subject is a lot deeper than I though at first, but your book series looks like a great help. Thank you for putting all this knowledge in one place!

Love Elimination - Sarah Gates

Anna Hobbs dragged herself back to the tiny inner-city apartment she shared with her sister. She worked two jobs—at Stressed, a popular dessert café, and at the worst supermarket in the city—and after two shifts that day, her feet were about to fall off. Both shops had been crowded. She hadn’t even been able to fantasise about the reason she was there: her dream to own a dessert café; a dream that was close to coming true.

Anna was brainstorming names for the café when she walked into the apartment, kicking off her shoes at the door and dropping her keys into the bowl. It was only when she went to flop down on the couch that she noticed something strange. Kate, who never cooked, had set the table with their best wine glasses and a plate of cheeses cut into perfect cubes. Anna approached the table warily.

‘Why is there a cheese platter?’

‘I wanted to celebrate.’ Kate pulled her long blonde hair into a bun. She leaned across the counter and stabbed at the food. ‘I overheard you making that appointment with the bank this week. I’m so proud of you!’

A smile stretched across Anna’s face and her heart swelled at the show of sisterly support. After six years of hard work and even stricter saving, she’d earned enough money for a deposit, so she could finally find a property and start her own business. Not only that, but she had the perfect place: a beautiful old brick building not far from her apartment and close to a busy shopping strip. The building was in desperate need of renovation, which meant it was cheap.

‘Kate … thank you.’ Even now she was twenty-four years old, receiving a compliment from her older sister was like the first taste of an Adriano Zumbo dish.

‘Why didn’t you tell me?’ Kate asked.

‘I didn’t want to get carried away until everything was signed and official. It’s not quite there yet.’

‘Well, that’s stupid. You’re going to get it and you’re allowed to be excited.’

‘Thanks.’ Anna took a seat at the counter. ‘If my loan is approved on Wednesday, the first thing I’m going to do is tell Mr Jhadav that I quit. You would not believe the abuse I got today for not chasing after some hundred-mile-a-minute woman who left without her five cents in change.’ It was pension day, which always brought a mass of elderly customers into the supermarket, and Anna had been rushed off her feet. Stressed wasn’t as bad; at least there were no cockroaches and the customers were usually nicer. But it wasn’t her café—the one she’d dreamed about since she was three years old.

Instead of laughing, Kate started tapping her ring on the counter. Anna took a sip from her wine, waiting for her sister to spit out whatever it was she wanted to say.

‘Do you think you’ll have the loan and lease contracts sorted by next week?’ Kate finally asked.

‘Maybe. If all goes well, the bank said I could be the proud occupier of 12 Marlborough Avenue by Wednesday,’ Anna said. Talking about her dream now that it was so close was tying her stomach into knots. ‘Will you be around to celebrate? Or will you have started filming Love Elimination by then?’ Anna smiled wryly. No matter how many times she said the cheesy title, she couldn’t keep herself from scoffing. Kate was a producer and even she couldn’t keep a straight face when explaining the show to strangers.

Her sister rolled her eyes. ‘We start filming the Monday after. I’ll fly out on the Sunday.’

‘And will it be better than the last dating show?’

‘I’m just hoping our Prince Charming doesn’t get any of the contestants pregnant this time.’

‘He got someone pregnant? That’s so sleazy! But at least he got his happy ending …’

‘Geez. Don’t you read the internet, Anna?’

Anna ignored the dig. ‘Are you sure you want to work on this show? Wouldn’t you prefer a cooking or renovation competition?’

‘Clearly they need me to keep the suitor squeaky clean.’ Kate took another bite, unfazed by her own lack of modesty. ‘Love Elimination is going to be nothing but fun romance and addictive drama. There will be no scandals beyond the life of the season.’

‘I’ll miss you,’ Anna said, thinking of how the highlights of her weeks were their movie nights and early-morning runs. With her saving plan stricter than military regimes the world over, Anna’s social life was non-existent. But Kate deserved to fly to a tropical paradise and oversee the

This article describes the experiences of a mature dyslexic university art student in a predominantly word-based education system. An autobiographical form is used, placing the writer’s personal experience into broader contexts where comm-entary is made on typical as opposed to good practice. The paper concludes by offering some recommendations which would be beneficial for all art students, but are absolutely vital for dyslexic students.

DMBA chemical structure similar to other banned stimulants DMAA and Ephedrine

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Researchers from global public health organization NSF International, Harvard Medical School and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment in the Netherlands (RIVM) have found an unapproved synthetic stimulant - 1,3-Dimethylbutylamine or DMBA – in 12 over-the-counter dietary supplements. The findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal Drug Testing and Analysis.

This is an important finding, as DMBA is chemically similar to other harmful stimulants such as DMAA, which was banned by regulatory agencies in the US, UK, The Netherlands, Brazil and elsewhere because of its links to negative health events such as strokes, heart failure and sudden death. There are no known safety studies on DMBA and its health effects are entirely unknown.

“While regulatory authorities work to remove harmful stimulants such as ephedrine and DMAA from supplements, new synthetic stimulants such as DMBA continue to crop up to take their place,” said NSF International Senior Research Scientist John Travis. “Without proper studies, the health impact of this new stimulant is entirely unknown. We urge manufacturers, distributors, retailers and regulators to work together to remove this unapproved stimulant from the marketplace to help protect consumers from potentially harmful health effects.”

“The literature states that this new drug has been tested on dogs and cats with severed spinal cords. It’s never been tested in humans. It is absurd that consumers are being exposed to adulterated over-the-counter workout and weight loss supplements sold at some of the largest supplement retailers in America. The risks are entirely unknown,” explains Dr. Pieter Cohen, an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. “The possibility to cause harm is real. It’s a close cousin of DMAA, which is currently being investigated as the cause of bleeding strokes, heart failure and sudden death,” said Dr. Cohen, who is also an Internist at Cambridge Health Alliance. “It is essential to steer clear of this new drug.”

Consumers are urged to avoid products containing this substance, which may be listed on product labels as “4-amino-2-methylpentane citrate,” “AMP citrate,” “1,3-dimethylbutylamine citrate,” “4-amino-2-pentanamine,” “Pentergy,” “4-AMP” or “extracted from pouchong tea.”

A recent independent survey conducted on behalf of NSF International indicated that 51 percent of consumers are concerned about the safety and quality of dietary supplements. Consumers are encouraged to look for NSF certified dietary supplement and sports nutrition products, which have been tested against the American National Standard for dietary supplements (NSF/ANSI Standard 173). Third party certification to this standard, which consists of regular facility audits and product testing, helps protect consumers by verifying that dietary supplements are manufactured in a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices)-compliant facility, are free of adulterants and unapproved compounds, have accurate labels and do not contain harmful levels of specific contaminants.

The NSF Certified for Sport® certification program goes a step further by additionally screening dietary supplements for more than 200 athletic banned substances. The Certified for Sport® program is used by the MLB, NFL, NHL, PGA, LPGA Canadian Center for Ethics in Sport (CCES) and the New York City Police Department.

“NSF International’s Dietary Supplement and NSF Certified for Sport® certification programs help retailers protect their customers by allowing consumers and athletes to make more informed decisions, knowing that what is on the label matches what is in the bottle, and they are not consuming any unintended and potentially harmful substances like DMBA,” said Travis.

Background on the research paper: Using ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), NSF International and RIVM scientists found DMBA in 12 of the 14 dietary supplement products analyzed (85.7%) with DMBA content ranging from 13 to 120 mg per serving. According to the recommended daily intake on product labels, consumers of these products would ingest 26 to 320 mg of DMBA per day. Additionally, DMBA was listed on product labels as “4-amino-2-methylpentane citrate,” “AMP citrate,” “1,3-dimethylbutylamine citrate,” “4-amino-2-pentanamine,” “Pentergy,” “4-AMP” or “extracted from pouchong tea.” The full research is published in the journal, Drug Testing and Analysis.

Signs The Newcastle Ship Finally Being Turned Around

9:21 am, Monday, November 9th, 2015 by Dr. Ed Harrison · 1 Comment

We’ve had a lot of game this season where we have played very well yet not got what we deserved from the games – and one very good example is the last home game against Stoke when we did everything expect score to get all 3 points.

Last Saturday was the polar opposite of that and we had a really off day at Bournemouth and that was not good since Bournemouth are a team we should be beating.

newcastle fans celebrate win at Bournemouth

Newcastle fans at Bournemouth
Got what their loyalty deserved – a win!

But hey, even though we played badly and were dominated by the newly promoted side we held out and Rob Elliot gave a fantastic display of goalkeeping and we got all 3 points in the 1-0 win.

The rumor is that the squad left very quickly for the airport in case the local  police came after us with a charge of daylight robbery.

Alan Shearer got it right when he said it’s not about the stats it’s about winning and we will not apologize for Bournemouth missing all those chances they had to win the game.

The best way to think of it is that luck tends to level out over the season and those 3 points make up (a little bit) for all the points we deserved in those previous games.

Think Sunderland and the 3 points we should have had there but for the mistakes of the referee.

We didn’t play well on Saturday and Steve McClaren said all the right things after the game – we were lucky but we hung on and never gave up – and it was simply a massive 3 points for us.

The result was more important than the performance on Saturday – let’s face it – and be happy about it.

With 7 of our 10 points this season coming in the last four games it could be that things are indeed getting better.

This is some of what McClaren said after the game:

“Slowly, like a big ship, we’re trying to turn that around and results will help that.” “The first eight games were so difficult and you could see the hangover that the team was experiencing.”

“I’m always consistent in saying we can get better and be better and we’re making progress but the turnaround is slow.”

Steve said the season began against Norwich after those first difficult 8 games – and in the last four games we have had two wins and 7 points and that spell even included the disaster at Sunderland – which was out of our control.

We hope things are picking up at Newcastle – it’s already been a hard and difficult season and we are only just into November!

    Yeah, that is my thoughts as well. A top central midfielder and a top centre back should be the priorities I think. Isco would be an interesting one, but I think you would be hard pushed to persuade him to join a club that will almost certainly still be lower mid table at best come the transfer window.

    I think the poor start so far could put a few of the potentially eyed players off unfortunately, and I said this when the window closed and I felt we hadn’t done enough. Overpaying is the obvious solution to remedy their fears about our position, but that is something the club (rightly) refuse to do.

New York Numismatic Club Celebrates Centennial!
December 16, 2008

The New York Numismatic Club celebrated its centennial last friday, December 12, 2008 with a dinner meeting at Keen's Chop House in New York City.

It is the same location where the club was founded 1200 monthly meetings ago.

Although a club member since 1981, I was not in attendance. I have been trying to keep active although I only not get to fewer than one meeting a year since moving out to Wisconsin in 1993. However, I do keep active by sheparding along their bi-annual presidential portrait medal series.

Although I will also miss the January meeting this year as I have a short visit to NYC during the NY International, I'll get to see many members of the club at the show.

It will also be my opportunity to visit the NYNC Club Member's display at the new ANS location.
