This means that I can get into the Actors Union Lounge and then I can go early in the morning to an audition and I can sign up and I can actually get a time, a slot.


Now, if I'm in EMC, that's one step down from being in the Union, it means that I've done a certain number of weeks but not--less than 50 weeks of work in the theater.


And what that means is I have--I can get up there early and I get on an EMC list and after all the Equity people who've come have auditioned, then I need get to go.


So, a lot of times as EMC, it's pretty tough.


You go there, you show up and you might not get seen.


So here is a kit that you could do all on your own, that we sell as a complete kit.


Now, this straight edge is not to measure with, remember.


It's so that you can cut your own mats with the Alco mat razor.


We have a clamp that will clamp this to your table.


You want to use a good quality pencil and keep it very sharp.


Then we give you tracing paper; a whole book of tracing paper.


Remember, you could trace that little duck on the actual picture and then cut it into the matting.


Then we are going to give you different templates that you can cut in your matting; all different kinds (feathers, leaves...).


Then, remember when we put the two mats together?


When you get this kit, you can start cutting mats the moment you unwrap it.


This is your double stick tape that is going to connect your double mat together.


We have a razor blade that once you cut your opening, if it doesn't fall out, you are going to need a little razor blade to cut that corner.


So, we wanted to provide every single thing that you need to cut your mats.


We give you twenty eleven by fourteen mat boards that you can use to remember your favorite eight by ten picture of your cat or your kids or a landscape.


You can use these and cut for your own pictures, right there on the very first day that you get it.


So, this kit will help you to design and cut your own special mats.


The tape measure, remember you want to use a good tape measure to measure for your mats.


We are going to show you how to use this Alco straight cutter to cut all of your mats.


You can cut the opening and you can cut those designs (like little ducks and balloons) in the matting.


When you want to cut your mat down to size, we have a Stanley knife; the best that you want to use.


First of all, when you're at work don't send personal emails.


That's a bad idea because anyone at any time can have access to these emails.


Personal information in writing via email will always come back to haunt you.


That's just bad news all the way around.


If you have to send a personal email I would certainly make sure that the boss knew that you were going to send a personal email.


I'm pretty sure that people have been fired for doing way too much personal business via the Internet or emails when they're at work.


All you want to talk about in your emails at work is work.


You want to plan your message carefully.


You want to talk about goals, you want to talk about schedules, you want to talk about research, you want to talk about meetings, you want to talk about company news.


When I talk about personal messages, you don't want to send personal messages to your friends but you don't want personal information in your business emails like you're sending an email to a co-worker but you're busy talking in your email about what a jerk the boss is.


I would like to talk now about the meaning of a bedroom and the purpose of the bedroom.


So the meaning of a bedroom is that bedroom represents our inner self.


And when I go to people's homes and I see that public spaces downstairs are very nice and neat and beautiful and designed and when I go to the bedroom, their bedroom and see that it is cluttered, it is dark, it is not attended.


So it tells me something about the person.


It tells me that they probably are not confident enough in themselves.


Or perhaps they do not take good care of themselves.


Or perhaps they do not take good care of their relationship.


So their purpose of the bedroom is to have a good night sleep of course.


And another purpose is to make love, to have relationship, to honor your relationship in a bedroom.


I'm going to cut open this little pouch here.


I kind of like the shirt I'm wearing, I probably shouldn't even be wearing it while I do this.


I am wearing gloves, and you want to be sure you're in a well ventilated area. So, the next part I'm going to make is Part B. I'm going to show you how to make that part next.


Now, I'm probably one of the only dark room people that actually, I really like using old cooking implements.


I make sure that all my chemistry is mixed up.


I don't want to see any browns in there.


It's like bleach, it gets on anything, it's going to stain it.


One thing that you have to understand about the game of rebounding especially if you're playing a zone if who to box out on the zone.


You find the opposite colored jersey and you put a body on it.


It's very very important not only man to man but especially in the zone to box somebody out.


Now obviously if you're in a man to man situation, you're on the guy that you're guarding.


You know who you're guarding, you know how they shoot, you know how they box out so it's much much easier.


But when your team plays a lot of zone like we do, you've got to learn how to box out and the most important thing is you have to understand the players that are in your area.


So, as Zach right here is playing the top of our zone he has to realize who is out here.


He has to know not only where the offensive guys are and the positions that they are on the floor, he also has to know where his fellow defenders are.


He knows if there's somebody else that is up here then they have to communicate and when the shot goes up, Zach will say I've got the wing you get the top and then I would box out here and Zach would box out there.


One thing you cannot do in the zone which we see a lot is when the shot goes up, if Zach just turns around to get the rebound, you're going to have this man from the top blitzing in and you're going to have the man from the wing coming in to rebound.


So you have to understand who's in your area and who's going to box out who.


Pose one of the twelve Yoga poses in Shivananda Yoga is Headstand, Sirsasana.


And, I'm going to have Jim here demonstrating the Headstand.


As long as you practice Headstand, always measure off.


Now, without moving the elbows you bring the arms forward.


Make sure you don't let them come out and apart.


Because this is your base for your Headstand.


Now placing your spot on your head where you would balance a book onto the floor.


Now, notice his fingers aren't clinched.


They're nicely relaxed and the thumbs are kind of braced on the back of the head.


Slowly walk a little bit forward until you have a nice long spine.


Ok. First and most important thing about Headstand is you start and you end in Child Pose. The last thing you want to do is kind of throw the blood up to the brain and then just kind of throw it back out.


Now if he is going to be pressing equally into his tripod pulling in through the belly giving yourself a nice base.


Headstand is a very healthy pose to do for yourself.


Think about all that little blood that takes longer to get to the heart.


This way it's just slowly flowing down gently.


So, I'm going to have him come into Child Pose first.


The most important part about Headstand is your base, your tripod.


So I'm going to have him go ahead and push up to the elbows measuring off.


In this clip you are going to see how to repair a combination.


At that point, you can either use your lamp, your ultraviolet lamp to cure it, which I will do right now.


Otherwise if you are outside and most repairs can be done outside on nice days, you can just let the sun cure this.


Okay we are going to start with repairing a combination break.


With all breaks you always want to start off with drilling in and opening that up so that you can do the repair.


After drilling in, you want to tie into any of the fingers that are going every different way by tapping into it.


Notice how that I am not tapping too hard, just light taps that I loop around that break.


Then the final part of the process is taking the bridge and injecting into the piston with this resin so that we can place this over the break, suction it to the glass and apply our piston to the glass.


Now the piston is the part that is going to most of the work.


After everything has gotten set up, you want to make sure that the sunlight isn't curing it and we are actually in a garage so we will be using an ultraviolet light, a lamp.


What you will do is siphon the air out with a siphon process and go back to injection and you will do this process a couple of times until you have the break completely filled with resin.


Hi there, I'm Tracy Goodwin and I'm the red sweater lady and today we're going to be talking about how to build a character.


And, this is primarily for actors, but possibly for directors or anyone involved in humorous interpretation, dramatic interpretation, any UIL events, or maybe you're just having to learn some material for an acting class or a speech class.


And that's what we're doing when we're taking on a character, whether it's in a play or even for a grade in a classroom, is we want to recreate, or be, a real character, or just like a real person.


So, I want to talk to you today about all the things that you need to consider so that your character can be perceived as real and your character can be fully developed.


There are some definite things that you want to do when you develop a character, some very specific questions that you want to answer and some very specific things that you want to know about your character.


And I'm going to talk about those today and tell you exactly what you need to do to build a strong lifelike character because that's what we're really trying to do.


In this clip we are going to be talking about how to pick a topic for an interview.


That's what I mean by critique you have to have a topic ready to interview the subject about so that everything can move quickly.


If you're at a live sporting event and you are watching the game it's great to be there but you are working so you have to bring a note pad and take notes.


For instance if you're watching a professional football game you just don't want to say the score is 15 to 16, which is a weird score for a football game, I know, but you want to say "Wow, Tom Brady thrown 3 interceptions so far and the Patriots are still playing well."


You want to be able to critique the game as you watch it so when you pick a topic you go into the locker room or where ever the interview session is you will pick your topic and follow that topic, that's what you will be interviewing on.


So will kind of have your things planned out, that way you don't get into the locker room or the interview area and you're bumbling around and you don't know what you are talking about.


A lot of times reporters who are unprepared allow all the other reporters at the interview session to ask questions and then they'll just hold the mic.


You can always tell who's prepared by who asks the most questions and who asks the fastest questions.


Because like I said, if you listen to the interviewee you know what he's talking about but if you come prepared to say well in the 3rd quarter you threw an interception what were you trying to do.


OK, so now in this clip we're going to talk about idling.


I go back to your pole, your friend, whatever is going to hold you up while you're trying to do this.


It just keeps you, it keeps you up straight, you can't just, and you can't just stay on your unicycle stationary.


You have to be rocking back and forth to stay up.


And this is after you practice idling for awhile, holding onto something and then just keep all your weight on this foot, and just let go, and see how many you can do.


As we said before, you're going to start with the unicycle in front of you and the pedal, at a kind of forty-five degree angle, rock up on to it, holding on.


I'm putting all my weight on to this pedal.


Now, when you have all the weight on this foot, what you're going to do is just start rocking back and forth with your other foot.


So, I'm leaning all my weight here, and I'm just pushing forward and backward with this foot. And, I don't really; I have the pedals coming up, probably around a forty-five degree angle.


I don't really have them, I don't, when I'm rocking on the idle, I'm having it from here to here, pretty much.


I'm not coming up too high, when I'm idling.


Our super hero's starting to really shape up.


But we have some additional effects you want to make sure we do before we're done with this initial black and white pencil drawing.


Now we also have the other web sling fluid which he's just letting go of.


The skin is letting go of something so we have to make sure we draw that in here.


So now we basically go back through there and we just kind of scraggle around the edges.


See how I'm kind of like going around like in little spirals all the way around it, all the way to the top?


Now come down in some thick lines, thick tapering lines.


Because this is supposed to be more of a rope like substance.


And that is first off, there's some of the other things going on in this.


And there you go, now you have your web slinging fluid back behind there.


The last thing is kind of a bit of a background.


And let's draw in some other lines back in here.


And down around here diagonally kind of show a little more, a little more dynamic, a little more action, just right in here going all across the page.


So a couple of circles randomly placed, different shapes and sizes all flaking our hero.


And at this point you've completed your friendly neighborhood Spiderman slinging home on a very very cold winter afternoon, perhaps on his way to a family gathering or hopefully someplace else nice and warm and give him a break from fighting all that crime.


First off, Spiderman, he's suspended in the air.


Where's he's going? He is web slinging which means you have to make sure you have the web sling out. Two lines, drawn straight out, and then basically draw a bunch of spirals the first time through.


Now draw more lines coming out, just like so.


And then I go back here and I draw one more line of spirals at a slightly different angle.


So, we are on section three, and as you can see, when I go back I actually may start to do this over.


With that under one, I'm going to add some more hair, and switch hands.


Bring the top one under, and what am I going to do with it?


Switch the sides, so grab it with your hand.


It's the one that just went under, top, then under.


Okay, grab some more hair, add it to the bottom one, switch sides, put that one in your hand.


It goes right here and then this one goes on the bottom.


I told you earlier that it was a little loose, as you can see that hair's a little bit loose.


Grab some more hair, and that process just goes over, if you'll see, and over and over again, okay?


The next one, and then the next one, just like that.


So, depending upon how long you want the hair to last, you may want to redo that if it look loose like that.


Okay, so I have, I'm still doing the same technique, I'm doing a crossover like that but while you were away I kind of switched my hands a little bit, there's other techniques that I won't show you right now, but, alright, so my hand is holding my middle finger, my pointer finger is holding the bottom one.


I've got my pointer finger and my thumb holding another, and I've got basically my fingers back here holding on to, with my hand, the third tuft.


So in one hand I've got three tufts of hair right here.


Now with my other hand, what am I going to do?


I'm going to grab some more hair and I'm going to put it underneath on the lower one, and then cross over, bring this under.


That's that difference between a cornrow and French braid, is you bring it under.


So, let's talk abut pest management in the hoophouse. Thankfully there aren't as many pest pressures or disease pressures in the hoophouse and that's largely because of the nice dry environment, the diseases, the plagues, the lights, the fungal infection, they just don't attack plants when their nice and hygienic and dry on top.


So, we really don't have to resort to some noxious poison or chemicals product.


The other goal with integrated pest management is to interrupt the cycle of the pest so, sometimes in the middle of the winter, I'll open up in here and let some nice cold air in, because the plants can handle it but some of the pests will be killed and sometimes we will also, introduce beneficial organisms.


For instance, by growing alliums and onions and leeks, when they go to seed in the next couple of weeks, their flowers attract many beneficial organisms which actually come into the hoophouse and dispense with the pest.


So, that's the first good news, the bad news is you still do get pest.


We get aphids, we will get some different kinds of worms that make their way in here, but the flee beatle's , the potato beatle's, the kinds of pest that ravage the outdoor crops, they seem to be inhibited by the, by the barrier even with the windows open and the doors open they seem to not get so well into the hoophouse.


So, as far as our pest management policy we generally use something called integrated pest management.


And that's jargon for whatever works without using poison .


We don't resort to poisons, and occasionally we will lose some crops to various pest, but generally if food crops are kept healthy, if they're robust and growing strongly, they resist almost all diseases and pest.


So, that's the first goal is prevention.


Once, we have pests, you can see, here is a perfect example, we have a little aphid infestation on the leaves of this heirloom broccoli, now that's an ugly site there, but, I know that it's not going to take down this broccoli it's only going to inhibit it's growth a little bit.


If we can get this broccoli this big, then it will laugh at those aphids.


I'm with the Kelly White Team, and today we're going to tell you how to buy a house.


I'm spending my dollars, I'm spending my hours finding you your perfect home.


All this is saying is that you're going to be respectful of our relationship and not stray.


Don't you stray, that's all it's saying.


It is legally binding, but it's all spelled out.


All it's saying its just a loyalty agreement.


It's saying you're going to respect me as a real estate professional, sign it.


Okay, now I'm going to talk about the exclusive buyer/broker agreement.


That's a big fancy word for loyalty agreement.


What's going to happen sometimes in most cases your realtor is going to ask you to sign this.


All it's saying is saying that you are going to be loyal to me.


I'm going to show you these houses, you're going to use me, you're not going to call other realtors.


If you're interested in another property, you're going to call me to show it to you.


All it is it's saying I as a realtor, am trusting you.


The base line for my compost starts in the compost pile.


Where I finish it up as here in my compost crumblier.


This allows me to turn compost over a lot quicker then it would take if I just left things in the pile.


Now the things to look for when you make your compost is that nice dark black color that lets you know that you are really breaking things down in to good organic matter.


Don't worry if things don't finish off completely.


The worms and the microbes in the soil would help finish that off for you.


Some great ways to use this compost in the garden is to actually till it as a amendment and work into your soil, but what I have done over the years and part of the reason I have such a nice loose soil is simply to use this in the garden as a mulch, and as I plant new plants I simply come in mulch around it with a little bit of compost.


This helps preserve moisture in the soil, it helps add the microbe organism that are necessary to release the natural food sources in the soil and in the compost that I just added and it is the base line for good organic gardening.


If you don't have a compost heap in your yard a compost tumbler is a great place to start but certainly there is room in everybody's yard to make your own compost.


I like to talk for a little while about compost in the garden.


I'm a organic gardener so compost in my garden is probably the most important key for behaving good soil structure, humus in the soil that is later going to turn in to the food to my plants.


Now compost could come in any number of different ways you could get it bagged, pelleted from a commercial sources, but my favorite way is to make a my own compost.


Now my compost doesn't finish up quiet as nice as some of those commercial products but it uses things on hand in my yard and it turns them onto the soil and you could see here that I have in my soil well there is little bits of leaves, twigs, pine needles, and over the years of adding these to my soil it helps really build up nice.


You could see I could just dig in my soil with my hands.


I could dig down almost a foot bare handed.


It is nice loose soil but my plants really appreciate.


Now, in this segment, we're going to learn the ten second and five second countdown cues for a news anchor.


Now, generally, when you give your cues, you're going to want to be pretty close to the front of the prompter.


Then, when they come, and then when four comes, you go four, and then three, and then two, and one.


Now, you don't say that, if they're talking.


If you say that and they're talking, of course, you're going to go over air. You're going to sound kind of stupid.


They're going to be a little mad at you.


Your director's going to be a little mad at you.


Now, when you're coming out of the sound byte or commercial, it is ok to give a verbal countdown. So, say you're coming down from five seconds, you want to say, "Five," and also do the hand movements.


So, you go, "Five, four, three," but you don't say, "Two" or "One." And then, of course, you always give your cue at the end, that way they know, ok, they're coming on, they're going to be there, they're going to be talking.


This one's a little bit different than other ones because, as in your thirty second cue, you want to be on the side of it.


But, of course, you don't say, "Two" or "One," just in case something happens, to where you come back early from it or a mic gets turned on, something like that.


You never, ever want to get caught on air talking or moving your hands in front of the camera or hitting the camera, anything like that.


You don't want people to even know that you're there.


And your fifteen, you kind of want to be on the side of it.


But your ten second cue, you can also be on the side of it.


Some anchors usually, you know, this is pretty much the universal sign--ten seconds, two hands, all five fingers up.


So, you usually want to have it like that.


Hold it up there for about two or three seconds.


Now, when you get to five seconds, you want to have your hand up, all five fingers.


So, what do you wear for performing for belly dancing?


Hi, I'm Johanna Kryntyzky from Hip Expressions Belly Dance Studio in St. Petersburg, Florida.


It's very traditional to have lots of fringe in the Turkish style costumes.


So we're looking at seeing a stream lined look, and we're also seeing a bit more of these cut outs that you'll find.


So they'll be cut outs down the side of the leg.


Now, always in belly dance costuming, you want to consider your audience, and you want it to be appropriate for your audience.


So you want something that's fashionable and tasteful, and looks great on you.


I'm Johanna Krynytzky with Hip Expressions Belly Dance Studio, helping you with the latest fashions in belly dance.


Let's talk about the latest fashions in belly dancing costuming.


Now you may be familiar with the traditional bra a and belt, which usually goes on over a big, full skirt.


This style of costuming was very popular in the 1970's when belly dancing first came to America and became very, very popular in some of the Greek and Turkish night clubs.


Lately, you're going to find some fashions coming out of Egypt, such as this.


I got this from Joe Hurrah, who's a fashion designer in Miami.


And what we have now is we're seeing more of these one skirt, where there's no separate belt attached, the bead work is actually on the skirt.


So you'll find that in the bras, again, very similar, a little more clean cut.


So we're going to focus on another area that compensates for this tense area in your back where the S curve is and it's in your shoulders so again we don't want to apply too much pressure so again what I'm going to do is kind of put my finger on a cubital and kind of push away from the top of the shoulder blades.


I can count a lot of knots and tension in the shoulder blades.


We just want to push that part out, just push it out.


Get a nice reference point and base it in there and then push out from the shoulder.


It will feel really really good to stretch.


You are actually pressing on the knot but the pressure feels good and then the opposite side with a lot of pressure.


You really really want to put a lot of pressure on this side to take away from the tension.


We're going to stretch the actual scapula and stretch this all out so there is more movement in that area.


We have washed, trimmed and are boiling our asparagus.


Our rice has been covered and reduced and so we're going to start preparing for our rice here.


We're going to cut our cilantro. So we're going to go through our cilantro and find any pieces like this and just move them off to the side, and then once we've done that and try and bunch them up like we did the asparagus with the leaves up at the top and the stems down on the bottom and then we can take that and simply cut the stems off and discard those.


With the middle of our knife we're just going to go along and chop our cilantro and once the leaves have more or less been broken up we're going to put our hand - not at the end of the knife but close to it to hold it steady - and we're going to use the back part of our knife because this is generally the sharpest part of the knife.


And whenever you want to cut herbs this is the quickest and quietest way to do so.


So go ahead and cut this until all of the big leaves have been cut.


Okay, in this clip, we're going to, I'm going to show you how to portion the fish.


So what usually happens is they're going to take a relatively smaller section off the tail.


And you're going to get about a six to eight ounce portion maybe is a good serving for someone.


And that?s a pretty, pretty uniform thickness.


A little tapered off in the tail, but it's a pretty uniform thickness.


What I always like to do is cut down the middle of the fish to basically split the rest of the filet in half.


You can see it's pretty thick, there's about a good inch and a half thick.


A lot of chefs are going to butterfly this open in some direction where you can still have a thinner piece of fish and they can get more out of their servings that way.


Now, you basically have twice as much fish, half as thick.


This filet probably weighs about three pounds.


And you know could cut that in half and these would be two more portions.


And this is not by any means exactly accurate the way you're going to get it.


A thicker filet, once again, I'm going to cut it straight down.


We're going to try to, just cut this butterfly this open to get two filets out of this.


And you don't really want to waste anything because this fish is not cheap.


Natural resources getting harder and harder to come by.


So, we are going to leave as much fish on here and throw as little away as we can.


So out of one side, I believe I got six filets, six portions.


One person won't be served this much fish.


So we're going to take the fish and we're going to cut it into, what I would consider equal portions.


Maybe what a chef would do in a restaurant and that's how they would serve it to you.


Okay, the fish is not even as far as thickness.


You have got the tail portion, the head portion and you have the thickness mainly in the middle.


We're back we are going to be steaming broccoli today and before I do that I'm going to give you some tips on buying vegetables.


The first tip you want to get is get friends with your produce guy cause he is your buddy.


He is going to teach you how to pick the right ones.


In looking for vegetables you want to look for the greenest possible, a little yellow is okay and then I have a certain test that I like to do it is called the finger test.


A like the florescences because it is already done the work is all taking away for you.


You may have to trim off a little bit of brown on there but that is about it.


The reason I chose broccoli today is because broccoli is very good for antioxidants, it has a lot of calcium, and there is just a lot of flavor in it.


The next step we will move onto is cleaning you vegetables.


This upper body tubing exercise is called the shoulder front raise.


Take your tubing which should be about light to medium resistance, place it down on the floor and step one foot into the tubing.


Always make sure that you have your abdominal muscle engaged and that will protect your back.


We are going to have great looking shoulders out there as we put those tank tops on; getting ready for the beach that's for sure.


And that is the shoulder front raise exercise using the tubing.


And the tubing should be right underneath the arch of your foot.


Start off by simply raising one arm at a time.


As you're doing the shoulder raise, make sure that you just lift your arm right to shoulder height.


We don't want any problems with those shoulder joints.


And exhale as you lift, inhale as you lower.


Now if you want to make it a little more challenging, go both arms at the same time.


Standing side flexions with the weights by side.


An exercise for an area right here in the middle section of your body.


And you see that this alignment right here.


So you want to keep the line going up all the way to the crown of the head.


Do a few, make sure you do same number on one side and the other, and you'll have good looking core before you know it.


You're going to stand up tall, and I want to show you from the side that your hips are going to be tucked in, and your belly is going to be in.


Without letting the shoulders hump like this.


So you really want to keep it tall and just like if you're looking into your zipper right here you're going to tuck those hips.


Okay, your knees are going to be slightly bent as you do that.


So when you keep your weights by the side make sure that you're also keeping your chest tall by squeezing your back muscles, bringing the shoulders down by using the back.


Keeping your feet under your hips, parallel, bending the knees a little bit with the tuck in vacuuming your tummy.


You're going to take an inhale and reach with the weight, exhale coming up.


Make sure that your head follows the line of the spine, meaning the head is going to want to do this.


In this segment, we're going to talk about how to do gum massage on your dog.


The younger the dog is, the easier it is to get them used to having your fingers into their mouths.


If you do five seconds today, maybe tomorrow you can get ten seconds.


And every day that you get your fingers into your dog's mouth, they're going to tolerate it a little more.


And, if you start as puppies, they're really going to be used to it and not push you out.


And it's very important to massage their gums, as important as it to brush their teeth.


And by massaging their gums, you're moving the circulation, keeping their gums healthy.


So you can just start on one side and do small circles all the way around their gums.


And they will lick and they may try and get your fingers out of there and you just have to keep at it and get them used to it.


Sometimes you can use a little bit of doggy toothpaste in a flavor that they like and that'll help them get used to licking your fingers and liking your fingers in their mouth.


And small circles are the best and all the way around, making sure to get both the top and the bottom.


And you don't have to spend a lot of time doing this.


This intermediate Pilates exercise is called the double straight leg stretch, and this is the fourth exercise; part of the five ab series in Pilates, so we really are going to focus really on those abdominal muscles.


So, some on down, lengthen your legs straight up.


If you have back issues and you want to modify this exercise, you can place your hands right up up up underneath your hips, and lower your legs down and lift up.


And you want to think about placing the lower part of your head onto the mat. And you want to perform that exercise anywhere between eight to ten reps. That is the double straight leg stretch.


Your head and shoulders are lifted off the mat.


Place your hands gently behind your head.


And your legs are in a Pilates stance, meaning that your heels are together, and your toes are out like a V; pointing your toes.


As you lower your legs down, inhale, and then exhale as you lift your legs back up.


Now, your focus here is to keep the lower back pressing to the mat.


Inhale as you lower, and exhale as you come up.


I'm JK Dooley and we're talking today about giclee reproductions and we're going to touch a little bit now about selecting what you want to print on.


Paper is obviously a choice and there's a lot of different kinds of paper that you can choose from, and some are really good depending on what you're printing.


So as an example, a really slick type of paper like this would be appropriate to print a photograph on if you were going to do photographic reproduction.


It picks the, picks the image up really nicely, and then you have paper like this that's a little rougher that would be really appropriate say for a pastel image or even, obviously a watercolor.


Some papers are really very good for a canvas piece, and if you don't want to print on canvas, but you have a canvas piece that you'd like to reproduce you can obviously do that on paper and there's papers that are more suitable for that too.


There's a lot of different kinds to choose from so I would suggest going out there and looking around and just seeing what's available.


So next, we're going to add some lip color to Sherry.


So, rather than using a full lipstick, especially for Spring makeup, I don't really think that you need it so I'm actually going to use a stain on Sherry.


So I'm just going to use my ring finger and I'm just going to start to kind of dab this, right on her lip and you can see it automatically gives color, but because it's a stain, it's going to stay all day.


And this is more of like, this kind of Hot Pink-Red and it sort of gives that Bee Stung look.


It's really, really pretty and you can see how pretty it is with that purple that we have on her lids.


So, I'm just going to blend this in really lightly.


I'm not going to do a ton, 'cause she really doesn't need it.


You definitely can use a lip brush if you want to but you don't have to.


You can also use a lip liner if you feel like you need a little bit more definition, I definitely understand that.


Sherry doesn't necessarily need it, so we're going to skip the liner with this today but, and using a brush to put on this stain is going to give you a lot more color, but I just sort of want to give the Bee Sting look, so I'm just going to pat it right on her lip and leave it at that.


Okay, so the last exercise I'm going to show you is for the lower back.


Really important place to work and a lot of people forget to do it or just don't feel like doing it because it's not one of those things that they're always looking at in the mirror, but it's so important.


I would do 10 times on each side and then you're going to make it a little bit tougher, you're going lift, hold and then try without moving your body, pull the elbow into the knee without moving the rest of your body, you can move the elbow and knee and then bring it right back out again and then switch.


This just adds a little dimension to it.


Pulling in, makes it just a tiny bit tougher, out, and drop and again.


I try to get my clients to do about 5 to 10 reps on each side, hold it 5-10 seconds and down.


Which I'm sure you've seen, but you want to make sure you do right.


So you're just going to drop and then just like a cat when it gets scared, you just round out your back.


I see a lot of people who kind of do stuff with their upper body, that's not how it is, you want to keep your shoulders nice and low, straighten out, round out, exhale, get it all out and then drop and flatten it out again like you're a table and then pull in.


That should be a really relaxing exercise and really relaxing way to kind of finish off your workout.


Especially as you get older and you kind of start to hunch over, if your abdominals and lower back are not strong.


Make sure that you keep that breathing going and just let it go and then just give yourself a hand for doing such a good job.


We've did a whole bunch of exercises that don't require anything but your body and you can do them anywhere.


I hope that you had a good time and remember you want to keep good form, keep the abdominals working at all time and you can always email me at heatherrider.com, if you have any questions.


Nothing should hurt, your knees shouldn't hurt, your back shouldn't hurt, you should just feel good and worked out after this workout.


So, I'm going to show you some exercises that you may already know, but in progression.


Making sure that your body is nice and straight and that your shoulders, watch out for the tent shoulders dropping.


So all you're going to do is extend that right arm and if you're able to extend the left leg or just the opposite leg and arm and just hold it for about 5 to 10 seconds and then slowly come down and switch.


The big mistake I see people make here is they kind of wiggle around and they kind of lift too high and then they drop it down.


Everything needs to be done very slowly and deliberately.


This is a Spanish Oak tree that grows well in Texas. They can get quite large up to 80 feet and get quite big enough where it takes couple of men to get around.


They are native in the creek bottoms and areas where you can get a little water not so much anymore in the areas of Texas.


The tree is quite well adapted and it makes a good shade tree as you can see from this one.


It makes a high shade canopy and it is not susceptible to a lot of diseases that the other Oaks are susceptible to.


They are well known in Texas as a yard shaped tree.


Hi my name's Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I'm going to explain to you on how to gargle with mouth rinse.


Pretty much what you want to do initially is get the mouth rinse, read the directions on the back to figure out as far as the measurements on how much you should rinse with.


And then pretty much follow the directions.


So in this case we are going to pour half a cap full of the rinse.


Swiss it around to get it started and then tilt your head back and force air through your throat which in return will cause the gargling effect.


And once again my name's Michelle and I just showed you how to use mouth rinse to gargle.


With your damp book up on edge, with all of the pages fanned out, it?s just as important now, as with your saturated book to have good air flow.


So once again, I'm going to turn the air filter on.


So you always want to have your book up on end, spread out for it to dry.


One thing to remember though is that once you have it out on end, you don't need to check nearly as frequently with your damp book, as you do with your saturated or partially wet book.


Because for the most part is fairly dry.


However, you do need to come and flip the book once in a while.


This is to ensure that the pages, because they will be pulling just a little away from the spine.


Are not going to pull away entirely in one direction.


So as long as you keep flipping the book, then you are going to have much more even drying.


And this way it also ensures that the tops and bottoms of the pages aren't drying at a much slower pace than the rest of it.


Because they are against the bottom of your table.


Of course you can use an oscillating fan.


It's important for you to have, if it?s a fan, for the air to be moving constantly and not just blowing directly on the book.


Because otherwise you could end up damaging the pages by bending them, perhaps, with the flow of air if it?s too strong.


So like the air filter, it?s a much lower speed of air, that coming through.


One thing that's very important to remember is you never ever want to have your book on its covers like this.


This is not going to do any good for your book, its going to pull it away from the spine here.


And it?s also going to damage the pages, because they are going to be flattened on the edges where they've been presses against the table.


A really great way to get a good back stretch as well as to get a chest opener is with an easy seated pose with a fish pose so Gina and I are just going to come back to back and we are just going to sit in an easy seated pose.


That means your feet are just comfortable and your knees are comfortable and out to the side.


Inhaling coming back up and then it is always nice to end your session with a sun moon breath body length so inhale draw the arms up and exhale draw the energy into heart center.


We are going to press our shoulders together.


As we inhale Gina is going to fold forward and just get a nice back stretch and lengthen through her spine and I'm going to open my spine up, opening my heart up to the sky and ready to receive energy.


We're going to inhale, I'm going to lift up and come forward and Gina is going to open her chest now as I release through my spine good.


This feels really good and really nice to come into a rocking back and forth motion.


Inhaling up and exhaling I am going to lean back as Gina stretches through her spine.


Make sure that you talk to your partner so it is not too much weight.


Good and exhale come forward or lean back whatever is the case, depending on which side you are on.


So the next step is, we're going to come to the ironing board and we're going to mark our side seams.


So we're going to roll this direction, towards me so on the finished product you don't have one seam in and one seam out.


And so the sides are the short pieces here.


We're going to do a nice half inch roll and steaming it so it stays nice and firm because we don't want to have to come back and do that.


The steam is going to help set the crease in the fabric so when you sew it you don't have to use pins as much.


Okay, once you get the first half inch crease in, you're going to go back to the top, you should always press in the same direction.


And when we're pressing, we're actually pressing with the iron not sliding it.


Now we're going to do a second crease and it's going to be a three quarter inch crease.


So you're actually wanting to pick the iron up and press down on it, not slide it, and go to the other side and do same thing making sure that you have the rolls going both in the same side.


Today I would be talking about how to tack up a horse.


Once again it is important that the Velcro is pulling towards the back.


Place the cup behind the horses leg, come to the front and then the Velcro pulls towards the back.


So boots are important when you are going to jump your horse or just for basic protection of support.


I especially like to use boots on my horse when they have horse shoes on cause the metal of the shoes can be damaging if they trip or hit themselves on accident.


So we just have 2 basic examples of boots for horses.


These are basic splint boots and you want to make sure that putting the boot on the padded area protects the inside of the horses leg where there are there ligaments are most like to be compromise.


The way that you put the boot on is that the Velcro always comes towards the back and that is how you know you have it on the right leg.


It just comes down to the bottom of the fetlock not pasted the joint where it might interfere.


The second kind of boot is a open front boot.


This protects not only the sides but the back of the horses leg and the fitting is very similar.


My name's Larry Omaha and I'm a professional stand up comedian.


But that's the only way you can become a comic and then grow in to becoming a full time professional comedian.


There might be one person in a million who is born to be a comic and just got up on stage one day and was funny and never had to sweat, never had to pay dues.


There's real no set education to become a comedian.


The education most comics have is street.


You certainly don't need a college education to become a good comic.


Some of the greatest comedians that we've had never made it past high school.


On the other hand, there are many great comics who did have a college education.


You don't have to go to a comedy school.


You don't have to get any kind of technical specific certificate or anything like that.


It is really a learn on the job type of profession.


The way most of us do it is by going out every night to clubs and wait to get on that stage.


That stage time is really the most crucial thing to becoming a comic.


Without stage time, you'll never achieve, you will never grow, you'll never become a really good professional stand up comedian.


Memorizes that material, rehearses it, refines it, performs it in front of strangers, every night sometimes and becomes so good that people want to pay to see them.


There is a lot more that goes on and involved with that.


It takes years to develop this material.


It takes years to develop what they call your persona, to develop the kind of material that works for your persona.


Going to audition nights, going to audition nights, going to coffee houses, going to comedy clubs on their off nights and getting up in front of small crowds, sometimes two or three people and trying out that material.


Now I'll show you how to make the snout of our bear.


I've chosen a few pieces of the larger pieces of cake that we've cut out and you want to just chose a few that when you put them together, will make a big enough piece for a snout and these are the pieces I've chose and I put them together like this and then you just want to trim and shape until you get sort of a snout shape.


Now it doesn't have to be a perfect shape because the frosting will fill it out and give you the roundness that you want and then when you have it set, you can put a little bit of icing in between as glue and then we'll set that aside until we're ready to use it.


Before frosting the cake, you want to take your snout piece and just try it on your teddy bear; make sure that it's a good size.


It is going to end up being slightly larger because when you ice it over, it will give it a little more thickness.


But that looks, that looks about right, okay.


And if you want, you can frost it ahead of time and then leave it on the plate until it's ready.


So this is what I would do, is just take some frosting and just frost that snout all around and then will set that aside and then when the rest of the cake is frosted, we can just lay it on and then we'll trim it; we'll just go over it one more time once it's on the cake.


It's a little bit easier to frost the snout before it's placed on the cake and then we'll just touch it up once it's on the cake.


OK, so that's the artistic form, and now kind of an extension of that would be ornate, very ornate kind of person.


And that's someone who, they might be a little affected, or they might be someone who really likes to show themselves as somewhat more than they are.


I'm sure you know someone who writes like that.


And also lots of embellishments and stuff, and they might also be putting lines under their writing.


As you can see we have seven distinct forms of writing and that's probably the first thing you'll going to be looking at when you're looking at someone's writing is the overall form of it.


OK. And now here's a writing which is someone who maybe is a little confused. And again, I'm going to try and do it, but this is someone who is kind of disorderly.


As you can see, it's kind of all over the place.


There's lots of different types of form within it, indicates maybe a lack of balance.


Now there's another type of form which we refer to as natural and simplified, and this might be someone who tends to keep the letters separate, keeps the letters separate, and as you can see, it's just very simple.


And that again, is someone who, they're not pretentious, they don't have lots of flowery things, they're just a very natural, simple sort of person.


OK, and now we have a form that we call artistic or creative, and this is where they tend to kind of throw in little curly q's, like if they were saying, I am trying, they might go a little circle for the dot, as you can see this g, which looks a bit like an eight, that's a sign of artistic also.


Next we want to talk a little bit about worms and puppies.


When your puppy was first born it might have actually been born with some worms because the mother passes them in the placenta and in the milk, but it also could pick up some worms afterwards, and so I wanted to go ahead and go over some of these different types of worms.


The one that we like is called Sentinel, and Sentinel is a really great product because it takes care of fleas, intestinal parasites, and also heartworm, and so if you give to your puppy this once a month, it'll prevent your dog from having all of these parasites.


Now this particular product doesn't do anything for ticks, and so you may have to do some other thing for ticks if you're finding ticks in your neighborhood, or if you take your puppy out on a hike and you come back with ticks.


Ticks are more common in the wintertime in this area because they need a little bit of moisture, and so if you're starting to pick up some ticks with your dog, you can use a topical product that we can recommend, or we have a really good tick collar that might help your dog from having these attached to him.


If you get roundworms, these are hookworms, these are whipworms, these are some actually flea eggs that your puppy can get, we're going to talk about that as well.


And these are actually heartworms, and heartworms are another problem that we get with dogs.


That's transmitted by a mosquito and your puppy would not be born with that, but we're going to talk a little bit about products that we might want to use to keep your dog from getting these worms.


And again roundworms are real common, that they can get passed from their mother.


In Southern California we don't have a real problem with roundworms after they become adults because they have to pass out of the dog and embryonate for three or four days before they go onto another dog.


And it's so dry in Southern California that we don't have a big problem with those.


We're seeing more and more problems with heartworm, however, and it's spreading all over the nation.


And so it's one of those ones that you really want to prevent and to prevent it we have lots of different types of medications but it's an oral medication you're going to have to give your puppy every month.


In this video clip, I will be showing you how to make a bevel or a radius.


On some projects you might want a bevel or a radius to give the edge a nice finished look.


Using our planer to create a bevel, we are going to hold our planer at an angle whatever angle we desire and we are going to make about 4 or 5 passes just bringing down that edge.


As you can see, that has taken that down and it will have a nice finished appearance on that edge.


For a rounded edge, we are going to make a series of cuts turning the planer as we go.


This is going to start to create that radius.


Now you will probably want to come back and clean this up with a little bit of sandpaper.


Okay, in this clip we're going to be drawing hair on our queen, and what we'll do is we'll start kind of like right along the edges here, and she, her hair is going to be very interesting.


We're going to make it very, very full, and very poofy.


As you can see, the huge feather coming out of her head.


I come down the sides like this; draw the stem, a clearly defined stem coming up, and that will be the top portion of our good queen's hair.


Now what you want to do also, is make sure there's a clear line defining where the feather begins, and where the hair ends, cause' you don't want people confusing the two.


You want people to clearly see that that is a feather on top of our good queen's head.


Don't draw too much detail in there, because you don't want to, you know, you don't want to call too much attention to it, even though it is like hard to ignore really.


It is sticking out of her head, after all.


But yeah, I'd say we have a good start here, and what we'll do now is we'll move on to the next portion, and draw her shoulders.


So, if you got the hair and the feather all set, go ahead and move onto....


Back then, the the styles were that if you, the richer you were, and the more royal you were, the more detailing got put into your, your face and your hair, and you knew that that woman was definitely royal if she had a very high, high hairdo; had it all up.


None of it down here, nothing below the ears really, just all up.


I mean, if she wore her hair down, that was either a sign that she was like so lower class type peasant, or she was maybe a, you know, just younger; like a princess or something like that, but that once you reached a certain age, you were never caught dead with your hair down, and you can sort of have a little fun with her.


Like make her, at this point, look like she's got like a big old afro.


And then what we'll do is we're going to really have some fun here.


We're going to draw a huge, huge feather coming off the top of her head there; a big, big, big thing, and this will be sort of her little headdress.


So, just kind of start by drawing the lower edges of it; just lightly kind of come down; draw the, lightly, the edges.


Now come down like this; come up and draw a definite shape though.


Some of the common mistakes you may experience while learning how to do a nollie lipslide is basically getting into it and making sure that your back wheels clear the obstacle because they have to get all the way above it before you can lipslide.


So remember you are going to want to nollie and get over the obstacle and come down into it.


You don't want to hit it on the way up so you want to make sure that your nollie is high enough to get into lipslide.


The other common mistake people make is that once you are sliding on the bar, the bar is just a small obstacle so it is really slick against your board, So a lot of times people find that they land on the lipslide and it shoots out.


This can end up with you with both of your feet on different sides of the bar, in the middle of the bar or with your feet running into the bar, which is pretty bad.


So what you want to do is stay directly over the board and make sure you know how far the thing is going to slide and how fast it is going to slide so you are ready when you end up doing it.


In this clip I'm going to talk about another skin type that needs to exfoliate a lot.


If you are someone who had pustules and infected acne, you'd want to go for something more like the microfoliant which is the rice bran exfoliant which is going to be gentle because if you came on this skin with a rough scrub, you can break the skin and spread infection and bacteria and you'll get the opposite result that you desire.


You want to use something that also contains salicylic acid which is an antibacterial agent.


Acneic skin meaning breakouts, blackheads, pimples.


It is so important to exfoliate but it's important to have you exfoliate when you have acneic skin.


You're going to want to use, if you're oily with blackheads, you're going to want to use a more granular scrub like the Skin Prep Scrub that has the cornmeal that we used earlier.


You certainly wouldn't want to use this on the sensitive skin.


The reason why we want to be more aggressive is really want to loosen those dead skin cells and allow the blackheads to release.


Let's talk now about how to select a jig rod.


There's many different varieties out there.


It's very sensitive because the pan fish are very light biters so you want a sensitive rod tip, to feel that bite and also to cushion that fish as it comes up.


Typically, with pan fish, you're fishing with very light line, maybe two or four pound test monofilament.


That rod, again, is working to your advantage.


They all come down, at their most basic, to having a handle and a reel seat, so you can attach your reel to it.


Then simply, the more sensitive end of the rod, along with rod eyelets.


It's a combination that come with both the rod and the reel or you can buy the rod and the reel separately.


Ultimately, what you want to do is match the size rod and the action of the rod, to the fish species that you're fishing for.


For example, if I were fishing for lake trout or bass or larger fish, such as that, I would want a rod that wasn't very flexible.


I would want one even stiffer than this, that didn't have this give, because when you need to set that hook on a bigger fish or at greater depths, you want stoutness of that rod to work in your advantage.


However, when you're fishing for perch or sunfish, you want a rod with lighter action that bends, almost at the drop of a hat.


Hey guys, today we'll be talking about setting up DJ lighting.


In most cases DJs at clubs are not really responsible for setting up and maintaining the lighting.


Lighting technicians are usually brought in, but we'll talk about it a little bit anyway.


In most cases nowadays, lighting are set up on intelligent lighting controllers.


These are computers with dedicated programs that run all the series of different lights throughout the club.


At any given time throughout the club, the engineer who is working the lights can just go over to the computer, select a different setting, boom, all the lights in the club change.


And there's different things between strobe lights, cyber lights, par cans, LED lighting to change colors around the club, black lights and things that make things glow, and even CO2 and nitrogen and things that come down that look like smoke and fog and cold air and whatnot.


It really helps the DJ because if the lighting guy and the lighting is set up correctly, it really just emphasizes the party and makes everybody's energy go a step further.


So a good DJ with a good lighting setup and a good lighting technician can make a great party.


And now we're going to discuss landing on the lava field from the expansion, Volcarren Wasteland in Heroscape.


Now, here we have our orc guy and he has a move of five and he's going to move through the volcanic field.


Now that he has landed on or ended his turn or ended his moves on a lava field, he is going to roll for lava field damage.


Now, to roll for lava field damage, you are going to take one attack die which is a die with a skull on two sides and the blank on four and you're going to roll and there is a skull.


Now, since there is a skull, you will put a wound counter on the card that is the orc's card and that will signify one damage that has been dealt to this creature.


Now, this damage will take the creature to zero life then this creature will be destroyed and will be removed from the game.


Once again, lava fields are very dangerous and if you move through a lava field, you will have to roll for every time you end your turn on a lava field square.


One of the biggest issues that come up in many non profits is the dynamic between the board of directors and those who we call operations the staff.


And what happens is the board wants to get involved in staff issues or the staff wants to cross over to the board operations.


It's a mediate way to cause friction and that's what you really don't need to have, it's a good idea if the board frankly goes through board training and learn how to be a board of directors.


How to be responsible for the vision of the organization keep your eye on the finances but primarily set overall policy that has been carried out by the staff.


When the board starts crossing into the staff area there is going to be conflict, there's no need for it, there's always a way around that sort of thing.


What the staff needs to remember that they're trying to further the organization, they're taking a day to day needy greedy work of the group and making it happen.


They should consult the board absolutely they should let the board now what's going on at all times, have open lines of communication at all times.


But it's a good idea from the get go to have a slight line from the board and those folks from the operations, cause it makes everybody happy and makes things move a lot smoother.


In the next segment I'm going to cover the publicity and the out rage of capacity of the building if you will for your organization, stay with me.


AMANDA CLAIRE: So here's a little volt meter.


This one has different kind of levels of sensitivity here, right?


I'll set this on 20, which means it will measure up to 20 volts on that setting.


And so, you know, I'll take this battery and I'll put you know, 1 on one side and 1 on the other.


Actually I need to look at this so let's see.


So, I put 1 on one side and 1 on the other and aha!


It measures 1.53 and so you don't think I'm making it up.


Here's the battery and then we'll go like this and aha!


It is measuring 1.5 something. Okay? 1.5 something, which is you know, through no small coincidence, the voltage of a AA battery.


There are a lot of functions that this particular one can measure.


So, because this is measuring 1.5, that means this battery is still okay and it will still work for a little while.


And so, you can use this to kinda test a bunch of batteries and as long as they're kinda measure up at about 1.5 volts, give or take of a few millivolts, you can still use that battery.


Basically, what it is, is it's a little gadget that measures how much voltage is flowing between 2 contacts and you use these little kinda contact points, these little wires to make that measurement.


So, you know, I wouldn't get too scared about a tool like this.


Some circuit vendors work on project where it maybe is necessary to know how much voltage is flowing across the circuit board so that you might need to put a resistor in there or install a capacitor in.


I'm not going to be talking about that much during this series because we're kind of talking about introduction of circuit bending but that is something that you may need a volt meter for in the future to be able to really make a good measurements of you know, the amount of voltage that's flowing across different parts of the circuit so you can calculate whether you need a resistor or a capacitor there but all that aside, a volt meter is also really helpful for testing your batteries.


You ought to see if they're any good anymore.


One like this, basically, there's different kinds of volt meters.


We're going to do a nice little peck stretch for Keri here.


So I'm going to come up, first starting in kneeling diamond.


And ask your client to intertwine their fingers.


Now slightly have them lean back just a few inches.


Take your hands on the outside and just gently start opening up.


I'm going to place a pillow on her back, and that's the reason is, is I'm going to be putting my knee into her back and I don't want to crunch bones against bones.


Sweep the arms down, have a hand on your shoulders, steady yourself as you come down.


I'm going to slightly slide my opposite leg back so I have some nice steadiness there.


I'm going to sweep down, grab a hold of this hand place it behind the head.


So now I've completed my scoring on the top ring and the bottom ring.


The next thing I'm going to do is take a paint brush, you could do this with your finger or sponge, and simply go all the way around and put slip all over my scored area, like this.


I like to just simply use a wet a wooden spoon like this, wet it down and put it on the inside.


And I'm going to use this as a support to push down the top part onto the bottom part.


I'm going to stick my spoon inside and then move the wheel around and apply quite a lot of force onto the base there.


Again, holding this on the underside there, you can see that edge is being used, and pushing it up underneath, and pushing my finger down on the top to ensure a nice connection.


I'm actually applying more pressure than what it may look like.


Straight down you can actually see the clay working down into the body of the other part.


Okay so now I've pushed the top part down onto the bottom part, the slip is there, I might want to take some extra slip afterwards and just simply go around the edge there.


Then I can go over and take out any grooves that I might have put into the clay, like so.


Perhaps take a sponge just to wipe everything down at the end, like that.


I'm going to repeat the same process here, working my way all the way around giving lots of slip on there, like that.


Any slur that might have gotten on there, take it off.


Okay, so as you can see we have now completed the throwing and assembly of our two part vase.


In the next section I will just be talking briefly about tips on finishing this up, and getting it ready for the kiln.


Okay, so now I've completed slipping my pot and as you can see I have a nice thick layer on the top and the bottom.


When doing a two part vase like this you might want to then turn the wheel and simply make some circular marks to let you know where to put it on.


We can get rid of these afterwards, these marks.


So now we have an idea of where we want to stick the top.


Now we're going to take this top, turn it over, simply place it on to one of our rings, like so, maybe turn the wheel see how centered it is.


You could repeat the centering process with a needle tool to get this absolutely and correctly in place, however that looks pretty good.


So now what I'm going to want to do, they make a variety of tools to go inside.


In this section we're going to be discussing a model known as 123s of customer service.


The three solve or identify your customers issue within three minutes now is that a hard and fast rule, no but it is a very good guideline.


When you put together the 123s of customer service you will be providing great customer service for him or her.


In this section we're going to discuss the model known as the 123s of customer service.


Now it is just a model meant to help you remember the different types of customer service and what is important as far as following those steps.


The one in customer service is to remember to deal with only one customer at a time.


It doesn't matter what customer just came before or what customer your anticipating will come next or whatever distractions maybe going around you.


It's most important to remember that when you're dealing with a customer that is only your customer at that time.


The two customer service is a two way exchange.


Now it's not always just all about the customer wants but you have some input or to make any of that experience great for the customer as well.


So remember two way exchange we will discuss all of these a little bit more detail.


Another great Restorative for releasing back tension is placing your legs up the wall.


And you could do this with or without support, depends how high you want to lift your pelvis up.


This helps get circulation, the blood flowing down from the feet.


If you spend a lot of time on your feet standing, anything like this, this is an excellent posture for relieving leg tension, helping get the blood out if you've got varicose veins problem and things like that, this also helps.


Set your timer, grab your eye pillow and just rest your hand on your stomach.


I place a chair here instead of; I don't have a wall nearby.


So what you'll do is you'll scoot your bolster down, towards the wall.


You have your single folded blanket in the back.


With the wall it's a little bit easier to do this, but what you'll do is you bring your behind up, so you probably want to scoot the bolster even closer.


Then slowly scoot, if the wall was right here, so I'm going to scoot my wall closer, but you'll put your legs to the side and press your toes into the wall and then let yourself, legs go up the wall.


Now my blanket, I need to scoot down, make sure it's nice and flat, any kinks within the blankets will make it quite uncomfortable.


And then slowly bring your legs up the wall.


And with an actual wall here, you'll have support on your behind, all the way up your legs.


In this video clip we'll be calculating the area of a circle.


On this end table we're going to be putting a custom covering on the top and we need to figure out how much area this circle is.


The first thing we need to do is find the diameter of the circle, here we have the diameter of about 16" and we're actually looking for the radius.


So we're going to take 8" which is half of the diameter.


What we're going to do from here is take a pie times the radius square so it'll be 3.1416 X 8 X 8 and that's going to give us a total area of 201.05 square inches of that circular top.


This is Anthony and we are going to talk today about tabletop photography, lighting tips.


Now one of the best types of strobe lighting I like to use for tabletop photography is a nice couple of big soft boxes.


Soft boxes are strobe units that have big white cloth box around them and I point them at 90 degree angles at my tabletop or some kind of angle and make the lighting interesting so that is one of the first lighting elements I like to use for tabletop photography.


Also Iike to use natural light when I can if I have a diffused window pointed at my tabletop.


Now that is not always possible in the studio so I really enjoy using the soft boxes.


The other type of lighting that I like to use is an underlight I call it and that is a tabletop that I can see through and I have a light that will come up from the bottom and again it really depends on what I am photographing.


Sometimes I will be photographing different types of scientific things that really need to look almost translucent where I c an almost build a layer of different types of whatever I am photographing so that back light or bottom light as I like to call it is very helpful.


The other type of lighting or part of my lighting set up that I like to use is a monitor. When I am shooting digitally which is almost 90% of the time in my tabletop photography the image that I shoot transfers right away to my monitor and I have a very big monitor so I can instantly see what my lighting looks like and it helps me adjusting and tweak and make my product or whatever I am photographing on the tabletop look the way I want it to look and those are some great tips on how to light tabletop photography.


Another technique that competitors like to use to intimidate their opponents is slamming their elbows on the table.


So he's got me like this, the best I can do is just hold on until he loses his momentum and then I can start gaining mine back because that's when he's weak.


Otherwise I end up straining my wrist and it's a sure thing that I'll end up losing the match.


The shock of your elbow from the table simply takes away from your advantage.


Remember that we're only flesh and blood.


We don't want to smack our elbows onto the table.


What we don't want to do is....if Richie gains his advantage as he's coming down on me like this and bends my wrist, I don't want to try and reflex my wrist as far as I can because I'm a hook wrestler.


So now that we have a nice done we are going to need to smooth this out and make it look a little prettier and we are also going to want to torch this so that the clay will be firm enough that we can make the cuts that we need to make into it.


It also helps make the dome smoother when you torch it.


Now you want to undercut this, poke a hole for that air that builds up to escape and the water that is in there and we are ready to cut the holes.


The reason for this, first you want to get your propane torch and it helps to have a tool, a pliers, to help open this up because your hands are going to be wet and you are not going to be able to turn that knob and then you need either a sparker or a lighter.


So you want to turn this kind of slowly and hold the torch against the pot.


This is going to serve a couple of purposes.


The first is it is going to dry this out a little bit for us which we need in order to do the next step.


The other thing it is going to do is the heat is going to expand the air on the inside of this dome and it is going to cause a little bit of pressure that is going to push against the walls of the dome so when we go back with our rib to smooth it that will actually help us out a lot to keep the dome from collapsing.


Now you don't want to keep the torch in one place for too very long.


It is important to keep it moving so that you don't get any of the clay too hard, you can make it crack.


And now that you have got it just a little bit firmer and drier turn off your torch, take your rib and smooth the dome out a little bit more.


We're going to add one more element to our Egyptian Walk, circling with it.


So as we travel, we're going to think about angling our body.


And again here, it will be angled slightly, step and here, step.


Let's try it again, with just plain Ibis arms, you can always vary, vary, put variations on the arms.


Turning the left; step, up, shoulders are square to the wall, step, and step.


So we still want to be square on with whoever we're facing, but we're going to angle the lower body, upper body stays square.


So, it's going to be; step, twist, a little bit of twist with the lower body.


But the hip is still going straight up into the rib cage.


Step and twist, again, step, and step, twist, step, lower body.


So what that means is that your feet aren't going to be square on to the wall.


So then as you turn, you're going to angle slightly from the direct line here.


Now I'm going to show you some things about bent water keys.


This one here is bent and it is hitting the slide tube which is not a good thing, because you can about imagine, over time it's going to make a little dent in your slide which will make the slide not properly work.


So we'll take our little round nose pliers and, this one doesn't need to be moved too much, and if you feel a little squeamish about doing this, go ahead and just take it to your local repair facility.


I'm using my thumb as well as the pliers for a little bit of leverage, and we just want to move that over just a little bit to get it into the proper position.


And if this is not, if this is bent, the key part that covers your water key hole, if that is bent then your slide will leak, you won't play properly.


So it's very imperative that your water key works properly on your trombone.


And that is how to properly repair a bent water key.


So once we're in our split position it's very beneficial to try and bend forward with that, which will then stretch all of the muscles along the front of the leg.


Now, it's very challenging to do this sometimes, so all we're going to try and do to begin with, is to walk the hands slightly forward, and extend them out as far as they can go.


And from this position, just hold that position and breathe.


Whatever position we get our bodies into, if we can hold the position and breathe, we give the muscles a chance to relax.


We allow them to fill with oxygen; we allow them to get the fibrous tissue to be much more flexible.


So, holding positions and breathing is very important.


And now we're going to make a, it's called a, it's a free form teapot.


So you want to start with a nice wedged piece of clay.


And you want to remember once you get that wedged that that's the part that's going on the wheel head.


And that's the part with the dimple that's going to go up.


So other wise, this little dimple will give you problems all the way up.


Now we got that, want to bring it to the wheel.


I'm going to make it to where this teapot looks like it's dancing, or I'm going to try.


So it's going to look like it's dancing or it's going to look like it's drunk.


And, throwing these pieces, throwing slabs, all of it, it's real fun.


My name is Abby Jones, and I am talking about the process of moving into a new apartment or a new space, and making that process easy and efficient.


And right now I'm talking specifically about organizing and moving into a new home office.


So one thing that I noticed when I accessed this space was that there's no built in storage, and my furniture doesn't have any built in storage either.


So something that I am going to use to create storage are these baskets which you can get at any kind of craft store or that kind of thing, and they kind of create faux drawers.


So I'll place them on the shelves, put my things in them, and then I can just pull them out as I need it, but they help keep things contained, I can separate different kinds of supplies, different projects in each basket so it can all be contained in one space.


As good of a tool as water-color pencil is, it's not always the obvious choice to use.


Some of the detail that I get involved with, as an example, on ...with horsehair, you would think that a water-color pencil would work really well, and I could just go and make these fine lines and use a water-color pencil to do that.


Typically, that doesn't work all that well, because what happens, almost every line that you make with a water-color pencil, you can only....you can't get as thin, you can't get as fine a detail, and about every third or fourth line that you make, you have to resharpen.


So what would happen is, what you might obviously think a pencil would work great, chances are it won't.


So you need to again, you need to experiment with your equipment, find out, okay, can I use a pencil on this, or do I just need a really, really fine brush?


And you'll see, as an example in this piece, the only place I used water-color pencil here was on some of the leather, and, all the rest of the pieces is used a really fine brush to get the horsehair.


So, again, it just comes with experimenting and knowing your tools, and you can have a lot of fun with it.


So as versatile as these pencils are, and as...really...they really work well for a lot of things, but remember, this is water color.


So don't rely too much on the extra tools, and always go back to your original good-old fashioned paint and water and brushes, and you'll be happy.


I'm the director of the Austin Tennis Center here in Austin, Texas.


Not extra feet, but a couple extra inches worth of cut off.


But that's pretty much the length of the string on your tennis racket.


Today we're going to talk about how long the string is on your tennis racket.


You'd be surprised that this, this little frame holds almost, or over thirty-six feet of string.


These, the, the mains, which run up and down on your racket, use about eighteen feet worth of string.


These cross sections use about sixteen feet of string.


However; the string, the exact amount of string you're going to use on your racket will also depend on the size of your, the head of your racket.


As this, this head is much smaller than this head, it's going to use a considerable amount less of string.


But any time you string your racket, you want to set aside about thirty-six feet, linear feet of string for your racket.


The, the tie-offs will, will also add a couple of extra feet, and you have to cut off.


In the age of technology that we are in today, you need a lot more than just the demo to get signed.


The labels have been hurting to the point where they are being a lot more fussy about who they sign.


You therefore need to have something going with your demo.


It's not just good enough today to have music.


All the labels do research and they are looking to find out if your act is playing out anywhere, can you sell tickets, do you have a song on the radio, do you have a big e-mail list, do you have any sort of a following.


You need something more than just the music today to solidify and give a label to be a reason to be excited about you.


Because the cost of doing business today is so excessive and so expensive, that they are looking to limit their risk any way possible.


Today I would be talking about how to clip a horse.


So for this if you want to make sure we would cross over to the other side make sure that it is even.


That you have not missed any of these long hairs and you can see how ready he is getting a nicer profile.


The next thing that we would do is clip the underside of his jaw.


This is going to get his face just a nicer profile less of this shaggy look.


Make sure that your horse is comfortable with it.


I like to start right underneath his chin where the muzzle, where we are going to be working in the muzzle before and just slowly work my way up.


That could be hard when you horse is really hairy as he is to get a nice even look because the rest of his hair is so long.


We would get this really long stuff off.


It is important to make sure that we get both sides evenly.


And, this is how you perform Kung Fu sparing technique hook block side kick versus side kick.


They slide up and kick, you're going to block hooking with the palm.


Pick the foot up and drive the kick into the solar plexus.


Now, the hook block is used dropping the arm just like this.


Now, again this technique takes a little bit of timing.


You don't want to dodge too far to the left and you don't want to dodge too far forward.


So, it takes a little bit of practice to get what your natural distance will be.


And, that is how you perform the hook block side kick versus side kick.


As you do this technique, you're going to actually step to the side to get out of the way.


You're going to hook block and lift the leg up and then drive the technique into the solar plexus.


The way it looks with an opponent, they're going to do a left leg side kick and you're actually going to parry to the inside of their body.


Part of choosing what drug test is going to be right for you and your use in the home is of course the reason for which you are going to be using it.


A common reason for people to purchase a drug test is when a parent or parents have concerns about their child using drugs, or when a spouse has concern about another spouse using drugs.


One of the major differences between using a test that requires a urine sample and using a home test that only requires a cheek swab is that the chain of custody, as we would say in the medical or law enforcement field, needs to be preserved with the urine sample.


It's possible for somebody to adulter or treat a urine sample after the fact to possibly skew the test results or to trigger a false positive, a false negative in the test.


Or even prior to that it is possible for someone to take a number of over the counter purchasable products that are designed to clean the urine of drug residue or mask any drug residue that might be in the urine.


This can be an issue for a parent who may not be to terribly comfortable with watching their child pee in front of them to make sure that they're not swapping out the urine or using another persons urine or adding an adulterant.


So for somebody who is looking to test a child or spouse to see whether or not they're using drugs a cheek swab may be more advisable.


But in this case I'm testing myself and if you're testing yourself out of your own concern, a urine test should be just fine.


And if you just tour around our work place you'll see computers lying everywhere.


All the instruments are run by computers.


We have people working on super computers to do modeling.


And I think if you don't like typing or computers or even kind of mathematical concepts you wont do well in this because that's a lot of what we do.


And then there are tools that are really more about re-agents.


So they're liquids or powders or chemicals or proteins.


And we'll have a hundred little bottles all labeled with things and we're mixing them.


We can get down to fractions of a micro liter.


And it's actually very abstract intellectually because we're mixing in with a pipetter a drop of this and a drop of that and following the protocol and in our mind we see them all interacting and building things that we know are in there.


And then we'll using an instrument to report out that everything is assembled correctly but there's nothing to see.


And so those liquid or powdery agents are also tools that we use.


The instruments and the computing and the re-agents into experiments.


With the information sort of explosion in the last 10 years there are thousands of journals about scientific experiments in medicine.


There are so many we really can't just thumb through and read the journals.


So there's a transition right now from print journals, and I have a stack of them on my desk across here where I get two or three a day and they stack up.


Very tiny volumes but do it very accurately.


And people used to thumb through them but more and more this is all being done virtually so publications are being put online and then we're doing automated searches around the virus that the work on or the cell that we work on.


And any article that's relevant to us comes, it doesn't matter what journal it's in.


So journals are still fighting for their survival and they're maintaining and there's some very high, the high end journals, sort of the best journals in our field would be Science or Nature.


So those are probably the three top journals where you'd see the very best discoveries being published.


But on the other hand most lay people picking that up would not understand the first word of those articles.


They're not good journals just to thumb through if you're not a scientist.


I think for a lay person Scientific American translates those kind of discoveries into language that you can understand.


So Scientific American is very good about writing things in a way that regular people can understand.


But we're all trying to push our discoveries in to Cell, Science, Nature and these sorts of journals.


I would say there's two types of tools or maybe three really.


Some of the instruments that we use might easily be half a million or a million dollars.


And they have very intricate parts that are typically driven by computers and software.


So that's another set of things that we do a lot of work on is computers.


COSTA WAEZ: I was going to talk to you today about how we do maintenance.


The bottle, also, the same thing, water and soap, clean, dry, and be ready to use again.


Just to tell you, every time you're going to smoke hookah, you're going to change the water.


When you're going to clean the hookah after you finish smoking, you be careful when taking this one because this one preserves heat and make sure don't touch it and burn your hand.


Just move it carefully and place it in the sink or on some place that you don't burn anything, and take this one apart, you wash it.


And if you wash it in the dishwashing machine, that's fine if it's dishwashing machine safe.


And also, you can wash it with a hand, and you can soak it with hand, hot so--with hot water and soap, and the bottle, the same thing.


When you take it apart, make sure the pipe always will be dry.


Don't touch it with water and don't get it cleaned with anything.


In this segment we are going to be talking about how to find a used car online.


There are a lot of web sites now days dedicated strictly to used cars.


In fact every single dealership out there should have an online web page that will take you directly to their used car inventory.


There are also other companies, newspapers; online automobile services that should allow you to shop for your next new used car right online from the comfort of your home.


So donât forget that online is a really good way to shop for another used car.


Jewelry can be another one of the most fun things you can do with crocheting.


Now a lot of times you may see people making yarn into chokers and things.


In these particular cases we have three chains in between each bead.


And I've used magnetic clasps to close the necklaces.


As well as toggle clasps for the bracelets.


The ring is made with stretchy elastic thread.


And you can wear it on any finger and impress your friends with your huge rock.


However, what you may not realize is that you can use wire to crochet.


It comes in a silver tone, a gold tone and you can even get it in a copper tone.


And it's very simple and easy to do because its simply chaining.


What you do is you string your beads on your chain in the order you want them to be.


Hi, this is Rachael Richardson, with Nutrolution, in South Beach, Miami, Florida.


In this clip, we're going to talk about how to pack a fresh, nutritious lunch, for your children, and it's very important.


I've worked with so many adults, and adults who have been raised on healthy foods.


They at least know how to revert back to doing that, so it may be the biggest gift that you can literally give to your children, is to teach them how to eat healthy, and there's lots of healthy food, that kids actually really, really like.


It's just a matter of doing a little experimentation, finding those foods that your kids like, and taking a little extra time to pack them up, so always start with a healthy protein, and a couple of things that your kids might like, are some good, antibiotic free ham, or some of the same type of turkey, or maybe some tuna salad, or salmon salad that you make up.


Always include some vegetables, where you can, so a lot of kids like baby carrots, chopped celery, chopped broccoli, even grape tomatoes, or sliced cucumbers, and you can pack a little bit of a healthy sort of ranch dressing, or dressing that they like, in the little Tupperware next to them, and then think about adding some sort of nuts, that are crunchy, that they'll like, and perhaps, a piece of fruit.


This is Rachael Richardson, and this has been how to pack a fresh nutritious lunch for your kids.


You know there are so many people that have gifts out there and I believe astrology is one way of getting into this and understanding it and really really reading up on it.


I'm talking to Bobby and every other word out of my mouth was "Bobby be careful what you eat, Bobby watch your diet."


Well, he and his wife and all the kids left for Germany and I'm sitting here, right over there, one afternoon and the phone rings.


He said "on the phone with me is Casper Weinberg, Strom Thurman, and William Buckley.


Bobby's had a colostomy" and I gave such a scream.


[He said] "..and he won't do anything unless you tell".


And I said " Mr. Buckely my mother loves your accent" and he was telling me about Bobby.


I said "put him on a plan immediately and get him out of there, get him to that place in Washington.


I forgot the name. Walter Reed and put him through the PET machine." And they said " are you sure?" I said "I am very sure".


They put him the plan, they him through it, and he's fine.


But, that day Lebanon was bombed and all the soldiers that were in that terrible war ended up in Bobby's hospital.


If you relax, take a little glass of wine, I mean it, and relax at a party.


Take someone's ring like I use to do or something and you'd be surprised what you feel. Biggest challenge and most alarming challenge is when I ..I am very friendly with the Coffins and they were in South Carolina, Columbia and they started ETV which is Educational Network and also Ceka and we were very close friends.


Mrs. Coffins' brother was being sent to Germany in the Army to become a Colonial or something.


She said "would you mind talking to Bobby?"


Hi my name is Lauren and I'm here to discuss how to make an afro with straight hair.


For your temporary afro in order to go with an outfit it is easier if your hair is basically short to medium length.


Back combing is done in a three step process, I am turning this that way so that you may see.


You are going to take your comb and you are going to hold it about mid shaft.


You are going to go down three times, one, two three, one, two, three, one, two, three.


That way you start to get a little bit more of matted hair which will hold your style up.


Now since we are doing an afro you would want to do a good amount of that hair where so that way it will stand up the way that an afro would.


So you are going to continue teasing those sections kind of matting them so that way you have more of an afro look.


As you see if I am working up the hair shaft how it kind of begins to form more of your afro look.


Once you curl everything you are going to smooth it a little bit but you don't want to smooth it too much because then you are going to fall, spray it, and then if you need to at any given point you may want to go over and reinforce that bit of a tighter curl.


If you work around with this method throughout your entire head you will get more of what the afro look is.


Again if your hair is longer you are going to want to pin it up in order to make your job a little easier and that is how to get an afro with straight hair.


Once your hair is a little bit longer it makes it a little bit more difficult to get the actual afro style.


If your hair is longer one thing that you can do in order to help you achieve that style is you can actually take your hair in sections and clip them up in order to shorten the length of your hair so if I bring this up, if I just kind of clip this.


Now what you want to do is an X using two bobby pins in order to clip their hair up.


The X will help secure the hair up there so that way you can get started.


After you have put your hair up or if your hair is shorter you don't need to go through with this step.


You are going to take a small curling iron.


You want a small barrel because afros tend to have a very tight tight curl and you are going to curl very tiny sections at a time all throughout the entire head.


After you have curled those sections, I have already curled a few here on the top, you are going to use a comb and actually back comb the hair up.


This exercise is called standing twist, and we're going to use a towel for this exercise.


And what we're going to do is utilize a bath towel, or a hand towel, so that you can keep your posture nice and upright.


So with your feet about hip width apart, soften your knees, extend your arms, and simply twist from your torso.


Now as you're twisting, think about pulling on the ends of the towel, and that will pull your shoulder blades into place.


And we're really improving the posture all at the same time.


This is a great exercise for the core, while you're strengthening your upper back muscles.


So when you breathe, you want to inhale to prepare, exhale as you twist.


Inhale as you bring the towel back to the front, exhale as you twist.


And if you really focus on blowing out you'll really get a great abdominal workout, and then you'll begin to really feel it in your upper body at the same time.


So perform this exercise for about a minute, and then just lower your arms down and rest.


It's important when you pick your board size to choose something that's going to really work for you in your life.


If you have a goal and you want to have a vision board that you're going to carry with you.


They're kind of fun, because the mailing envelopes, you can get, they're usually in really varied sizes.


Sometimes you get big things, sometimes you get little things.


You can always use cardboard if you want to use that.


You can make a round vision board if you want to cut it.


Then, I really like bright, bright colors.


You can go and you can get construction paper from someplace.


You can either, I like folding things in half so I can put things in, but you can buy these at any kind of, you know, supply place or something.


You can have it folded in half and then you're able to use a vision board.


You may want to pick up a little index card.


The most important thing when you're choosing your size is to make sure you know what you want to be able to do.


Do you want to keep it at home by your bedroom?


Depending on the goal that you've chosen and the topic that you're doing.


You may want to have a smaller board if you want something that you're going to see when you're taking a shower.


You may put it in something where it's water proof.


Really kind of think about where do you want this to be in your life and how do you want to keep it with you so that you can make sure that you've got the right size for your vision.


You don't have to make a vision board big in order for it to be effective.


You just have to have it in a place where you're going to be able to see it.


One of my favorite things to do is recycle.


Sometimes, I take envelopes that people have sent me and I use the front part for the vision board because I cover it with a lot of things.


Then thing I love is that you can put stuff inside and hide it.


I'm a fine art photographer in Austin, Texas.


It keeps the negatives flat, inexpensive and very important.


In setting up your dry workstation in your darkroom, you want to have a workbench set away from your wet area.


You are going to house your enlarger here, timer, your safe light and any other printing supplies that you're going to need.


You're also going to house your paper in this area.


You're definitely going to want one of these, your dry station; it's a perfect tool for context sheets.


All you need is a piece of glass or Plexiglass and a piece of foam board.


You use these to make your context sheets.


A lot of people have a fear of falling backwards.


We're going to show you how to do a roll, that will let you overcome that fear, so if you do fall on the ground, you won't hurt yourself in this manner.


See, as he rounds out his body, it makes a complete roll, and it doesn't really hurt any of his body parts.
