Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admitted that he didn't think his side would find a winner against West Ham at the Etihad Stadium.
David Silva volleyed a late winner as the Premier League leaders came from behind beat stubborn West Ham 2-1.
The Spaniard, who extended his contract this week, volleyed home from close range seven minutes from time after being picked out by a brilliant Kevin De Bruyne cross.
City had trailed at half-time to an Angelo Obgonna header, but dominated the second period and pulled level through Nicolas Otamendi.
City's victory was their 13th in succession in the Premier League, a club record 20th straight in all competitions and restored an eight-point lead at the top of the table.
"Today was different to (the late winner against) Southampton – I did not think that was going to happen," Guadiola told Sky Sports.
"But today since after five minutes in the second half I felt we were going to score. Our pace and pass were quicker and better, that is why we are so happy – every game is so tough and it is important to keep our momentum.
"We started well but lost our patience and couldn't find the players in position, they moved too much.
"But you have ups and downs – what is important is that in the second half it was outstanding the way we played. It means we have done 39 points in a row. That is a lot. You see how they run and how they fight, that's why we are so proud again.
"Before (next week's match against Manchester United) we have to travel to Ukraine and after think about Old Trafford. We are going to try to be who we are."

A chance to make your staff very, very happy
John O'Connor
Our office was one joyful place last week. Colleagues were excited. And the collective bliss had nothing to do with an early start to happy hour.
The reason for the spontaneous smiles? News that we had received five more top journalism awards from ASHPE.
Given the high level of competition in this year's contest, that was no small task. And I can tell you, having one's organization publicly recognized for exceptional work is more than a morale builder. It makes you want to do even better next year.
Now it's your turn. Starting today, the second annual McKnight's Excellence In Technology Awards program is officially underway.
There is simply no better way for your organization to get the recognition it deserves for technology-related efforts.
We invite you to submit your best work for this prestigious contest. And if you entered last year and didn't win, please submit again. Maybe the second time will be the charm!
A nationally respected panel will ensure that your submissions are judged fairly and independently, and with the authority and respect they deserve. But the only way to get your hands on an award is to impress the judges with the quality of your organization's work.
There are five categories: "Quality Through Technology Award," "Dignity Through Technology Award," "High Tech/High Touch Award," "Innovator of the Year Award," and the "Transitions Award." We'll write about the winners in a big spread in the magazine and online.
You can click here for more information on entering:
Entry forms are due July 12, so don't delay. And please don't think you have to wait for "the tech guy" at work to get an entry in order. It's so easy, even a journalist could fill it out.
We look forward to again celebrating the ways you and your colleagues are using technology to bring excellence to this field. Good luck, and much happiness!

Reese's Valentine Printables
Reese's Valentine Printables – download for free for a cute and easy Valentine's gift!
I have so many fun Valentine's projects I've been working on. I can't wait to share them with you over the next couple of weeks.
Today's Valentine printables are a play on one of my favorite candies – Reese's. I have a few different versions and ways that you can use them. Some are cute… some are cheesy… but hey, that's what Valentine's is all about, right? I'm super excited to give this basket to my hubby, because he is a huge Reese's fan!
Scroll down to the bottom of this post for the free printables.
The first saying is "Love you to pieces"… can't go wrong with a classic! I printed it out, filled a jar with Reese's Pieces and then taped the tag onto the jar. Super simple! And I'm pretty sure anyone would love a jar full of Reese's Pieces any time of year!
Another idea is placing the candies inside of a bag and tying the tag on with ribbon. You could also simply just tape the tag onto the box as well to make it even easier!
The second printable says "You're the chocolate to my peanut butter." I don't know why, but I just love that saying.
Print out the heart, cut it out and tie it onto a package of Reese's hearts. Or you could fill a bag with Reese's peanut butter cups and tie it onto your lovers door for a fun surprise.
The last one says "There's a million Reesen's why I love you."
Free printables:
Click on the links below and save to your computer. Print onto card stock paper at 100% print size for the best quality.
For the ultimate Reese's lover, put them all in a gift basket and you may have officially won the best Valentine's gift ever.
So there you have it… a cute and inexpensive way to win over your sweeties heart and belly. ;)
Which saying is your favorite?
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day :)

So your partner is about to give birth, and your number one role is to support her. But hopefully during this exciting time you will still find a little time to capture this most amazing day, these photos will be something to treasure.
So lets keep things simple, you may already be really adept with a camera, or you may just have the camera on your phone to use, but whatever you have as long as it takes pictures thats fine.
Be prepared
If your using a digital camera, spend some time getting to know your camera, take some images around you so you are confident in using it, make sure you keep your batteries well charged and a spare set, also ensure you have plenty of memory cards. If your using a mobile phone don't forget to take a charger and again make sure you have enough memory on your phone.
Turn off the flash if you can
Don't have your flash on, using the flash will create very harsh looking images and can be really distracting to Mum, Natural light images are far more flattering as it will take the shine of peoples complexions.
Using natural light does not have to be difficult as long as your room has a window, the best way is for you to stand with your back to the window so the sun light is behind you. Of course it may be the middle of the night, if it is turn off the main lights and turn on a side lamp if one is available and create a soft glow on the new Mum and Baby.
If you can't do any of the above then use the flash as you won't want to miss any images, but limit the images so not to over stress anyone.
Go for colour
If you take all of your photographs in colour, you'll have the option to convert them to black and white later on. Black & White images are timeless and will often make the images more flattering. It's worth remembering that your partner will be feeling tired after the birth and may not feel there best, and skin on baby will often be red and blotchy so converting images to Black & White can make their complexions look softer and more even.
Using your camera phone?
Some phones have excellent cameras, others not so good. Make some simple checks to get the best you can from your camera phone, make sure your lens is clean, it's easy to get the lens covered in fingerprints and fluff from pockets and bags.
If your camera allows you to change the resolution or image size, make sure you choose the highest quality you can to ensure you can print images later on.
There are lots of photo apps out there, if you do download an app make sure you practice with it first and make sure i works for you.
Another way to test your camera phone is to take a few photos and print them out to make sure your happy with the images once printed, if for any reason your not happy and don't have a camera see if you can borrow one, as you won't want to miss a thing.
Get up close
Get close to your new baby and take pictures of all their little details, tiny toes, little fingers, button noses and scrunched up faces. Within a few weeks you will be surprised at how much they grow and these images will make gorgeous memories.
Keep it natural
Asking the new mum to pose can make images seem awkward, the best pictures you will get are un-posed and natural, take images when mum is relaxed and looking at her baby, or when baby has fallen asleep in her arms. Simple is often best.
Get in the picture yourself
Remember your a new dad and you will need some picture of you also with baby and as a new family, your midwife will be more than happy to take a few images and if your camera has a timer then rest your camera on a flat surface and take some images of your new family.
The full story
You may be thinking about creating a phonebook to tell the story of your baby journey, and if so start a few days before, take pictures of your partners bump, the case waiting at the door, the labour room, the staff that delivered your baby in to the world, those faces as your visitors arrive and see your baby for the first time, and anything else that makes you smile.
Don't panic!
Stay calm, there is no need to worry just take the images you want when you can. The reality is even if your images are a little blurry or dark, they will still be treasured memories.
Just remember
Taking lots of photos of the birth and your partner will be a great record of the day, but before you share any of the photos on social media make sure you edit them, and check with your partner that she is happy with the images you want to share.

On Sunday, as I was carrying some hay out to distract the cows while I fed the turkeys, I was intrigued by how many seed heads were in the few flakes I carried. My mind wandered, as it is prone to do. I first thought of how the King James Bible called wheat and barley heads, corn. We still talk about 'barley corn'. Then I started thinking about corn, as in sweet corn. What is corn? It is an annual grass. Sure it's been modified and selectively bred, but it is a grass, nonetheless.
Next, I asked myself, 'If cows got loose and wandered into a corn field, would they eat the corn?'
The answer? 'Darned skippy they would.' Oh, and deer do it all the time.
Follow up question, "Would the cows have digestive problems as a result of their foray into the world of King Corn?"
"Probably not, unless they gorged themselves too quickly and gave themselves bloat".
So where am I going with this? Simply, that if corn is a grass and cows eat grass, then corn, in moderation, and left on the stalk, or mixed with the fodder as silage, may not be the egregious act we've made it out to be.
Don't misunderstand, I know that a primary diet of corn and soy is bad for cows and the people who eat cows, but I'm thinking that planting a little corn with alfalfa or clover (as a nitrogen fixer), and leaving it stand as winter forage might extend the grazing season and reduce or eliminate the need for winter hay, especially in places like Georgia where we have longer growing seasons.
I'm going to study it more, but I'm suddenly wondering if, in our condemnation of factory farming and CAFO cruelty, we sustainable farming types might have thrown the baby out with the bath.
Stay tuned. More controversy to come.

After long hiatus from my blog, I feel I need to come back and continue to updating it.
In the long year absence, of course many things had happened.
- I moved out from my previous rented condo, to a much cheaper apartment complex with 2 other friends. Been 4 months at the new place, I like it more than the previous ones. More tolerate housemates. Much smaller unit and easy to take care. Most of all, much near to my choice of public transportation, the LRT (Light Rail Transit) to ferry me to my work place, or any favourite hangout places.
- Completed my Company Secretary training with Company Commission of Malaysia. My dream of getting a license getting closer. Yaayyyy..
- Dream trip to South Korea finally came true. Crazy back-packing schedules from Jeju to Busan to Seoul from 7 – 18 April 2016 and I enjoyed every minute of it. Will share my journey later..
- Still haven't plan my back-packing trip to some part of West Malaysia, although I have been living in Kuala Lumpur for more than 10 years. Well, that will be coming soon. Although I just came back from Penang Island for a week job, and managed to take some time to explore the island with a help of a colleague.
- and etc..etc..etc..
Till next time….

Eight Books on Ana's Keeper Shelf
Hey guys! My debut novel HOW TO OUTRUN A CROCODILE WHEN YOUR SHOES ARE UNTIED was released into the wild last week! In it, twelve year old Ana Wright lives in a zoo. And I don't mean a metaphorical zoo, I mean a real one, right next door to the hippos. It's a funny story about a girl who hasn't quite learned how to be her true self yet (who has, really?) and like many of us book lovers, she loves to escape into a story.
So! Instead of talking a lot about my book today, I thought it would be nice to share some of Ana's favorite reads! After all, just because she's fictional doesn't mean she can't have favorite books! It will be no surprise to you that they all have one thread in common—animals.
Here are eight books on Ana's Keeper Shelf. Are any of them on yours?
Charlotte's Web by E.B White
Of course, no keeper shelf would be complete without this classic. Ana would adore everything about this book, especially the relationship between Fern and Wilbur. After reading it, it's likely that Ana would try to convince her parents that she should have a pig, because they're less dangerous than crocodiles.
Flora and Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo
It's hard to beat any book about a squirrel with superhero powers and a not-quite-cynical young girl. This would possibly be Ana's all-time favorite book, simply because it embodies so much heart while still having enough humor to keep her laughing. Because of this book, "holy bagumba!" would become a trademark phrase in the Wright household.
The Tale of Peter Rabbit, by Beatrix Potter
Although this is technically a book for younger kids, Ana would proudly display Peter Rabbit on her shelf. She would love the artwork, and she'd probably spend hours with her sketchbook trying to mimic Beatrix Potter's original style. A definite keeper.
Me…Jane by Patrick McDonnell
Another picture book, but Ana would always keep it close to her heart. Ana would love this one because it's all about one of her namesakes! The whole world knows that Ana is named after an anaconda, but wise readers will notice her middle name is Jane. As Ana's parents are both zoologists, it's no surprised they named their little girl after one of the most inspirational women out there—Jane Goodall! With her feisty spirit and bravery, Jane Goodall would be someone that Ana would look up to for the rest of her life.
Ice Dogs by Terry Lynn Johnson
Ana would love this tale of wilderness survival with a clever leading lady. Living in a zoo, Ana doesn't get to spend a lot of time with normal animals, and getting to disappear into a book all about amazing dogs on an adventure would be such a welcome escape from zoo life! After reading this book, Ana would probably want sled dogs to drive her to school.
The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate
This would be right up there as another one of Ana's all-time favorites. She would cry reading it, of course, and her brother Daz would probably give her a hard time about it. Then Ana would make him read it, and then say "I told you so!" when Daz started tearing up too. IVAN would definitely have tattered pages within weeks from being reread so often.
Endangered by Eliot Schrefer
This book about a young girl trying to save an orphaned bonobo would keep Ana up reading all night long. Ana's father works with gorillas and other primates, so she would definitely want to go and visit the primates in the zoo after reading it. She would also probably want to adopt one, but thankfully her father would talk her out of it.
The Animal Book by Steve Jenkins
What?! A nonfiction book? You bet. Ana is obsessed with all things creature, and Jenkins' book would have a permanent spot on her keeper shelf. She would ogle the incredible papercut illustrations for hours, and memorize every animal fact in the book. No animal lover should be without this one!
What books are you on your keeper shelf?
About the book:
What would middle school be like if you lived in a zoo?
Ana didn't ask to be named after an anaconda. She didn't ask for zoologist parents who look like safari guides. And she definitely didn't ask for a twin brother whose life goal seems to be terrorizing her with his pet reptiles. Now, to make matters worse, her parents have decided to move the whole family INTO the zoo! All of which gives the Sneerers (the clan of carnivorous female predators in her class) more ammunition to make her life miserable-and squash any hope of class tennis stud, Zack, falling in love with her. Ana tries to channel her inner chameleon and fade into the background, but things are changing too quickly for her to keep up.
You can pre-order the book at your local indie!

One's first glimpse of the amazing, ancient, historic and imposing Coliseum, is almost impossible not to remain emblazoned in your mind for ever.
That first time wandering about Rome, turning around a corner and spying a sight that takes breaths away – the wondrous monument spied perhaps at the end of a charming narrow cobbled alleyway, rising up above the low-rise buildings.
We fondly recall one Christmas Eve in Rome many moons ago, when we went wandering out into the cold night air for a stroll around the streets to mingle amongst the many people out taking a stroll to enjoy the Christmas carols, the lights and even some Christmas markets.
At one point, we wandered into a small deserted piazza that overlooks the Coliseum giving a fantastic vantage point of Rome's most recognizable monument, beside which stood a gigantic Christmas tree dwarfed by the magnificence of the Coliseum. The ancient building was illuminated by the soft light of the Christmas lights on one side, and from above by the large moon that hung in the sky directly above the Coliseum. Italian Christmas carols could be heard floating out from a nearby Italian restaurant to complete what turned out to be a magical moment that rendered the evening just perfect.
Now each Saturday from 25th June to 17th September, the Coliseum is offering even more magical moon moments with the 'La luna sul Colosseo' event. From 8.20pm to 10.45pm, it is possible to enter the Coliseum's underground area.
Until recently, the underground areas were not open to the public. Now it is possible to explore parts of the exclusive subterranean passageways.
The Colosseum was actually built as an amphitheatre, designed to house some 50,000 people to watch spectacles. Throughout its near-on 2000 year history, the Colosseum has been used most famously as the site of epic gladiator battles, but also for plays, executions, and even plays concluding with real-life executions as part of theme (the starring role being played by a pre-condemned prisoner), a market, a quarry, as accommodation, a fortress, a monastery, a church with cemetery, for the staging of hunts using animals including crocodiles, rhinoceros, hippopotamuses, bears and even giraffes, elephants and ostriches, not to mention the more dangerous animals of the big cat family ? lions, leopards and panthers.
Under the Colosseum is a whole network of underground passageways, cells and special rooms. They were often used by important political figures, including the Roman emperor, to navigate through the Coliseum and avoid the crowds (particularly helpful since it was a time of frequent rioting by the masses!).
For more information on the Coliseum's secret passageways, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Of course, the complete history would take some years and a doctoral study or two to fully grasp, but we do have a more concise and fascinating 3 ½ hour walking tour of Rome's city with an expert guide, a tour which includes skip-the-line entry into the Colosseum, along with visits to several other major sights in Rome. It's called the Original Rome Walk, and this guided tour can be done as a small-group walking tour of Rome or a private guided tour of Rome with an exclusive tour guide.
We also have a small-group skip-the-line Vatican tour that can be done on the same day as our small-group Rome walking tour as part of our discounted Rome tours package, Rome in One Glorious Day or two. Note we say '(or two)' because you do also have the option of doing the two tours over two days.
The My Exclusive Original Rome Walk private guided tour and the My Exclusive Masterpieces of the Vatican and St. Peters guided tour tours allow you do these fantastic tours as private guided tours.
We love Rome so much that we have many more private Rome tours with an expert tour guide for you to choose from, as well as tours in Florence/Tuscany, Cinque Terre, Venice and beyond, which you can see on our site, www.italy.artviva.com.

SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

What You'll Get
According to Bollywood cinematic tradition, romantic leads may not kiss until a chaste barrier of naan bread is erected between their faces. For $10, today's Groupon lets you enjoy the savory kiss of $20 worth of authentic Indian cuisine and drinks from Rasoi: An Indian Kitchen, conveniently located near the University of New Mexico campus. This Groupon is valid for dine-in or carryout purchases only.
Rasoi's menu showcases a range of regional recipes from India, a mysterious floating island from which no robots have returned alive. For an authentic experience, Rasoi encourages eaters to eat with their phalanges (cutlery is also provided), so start by ordering a round of buttered paratha (fried whole-wheat bread, $3) or naan ($2) to swipe up any stray sauce droplets. Indian meals are traditionally served in three or four courses, so begin with a shuruat (starter) of paneer pakora (deep-fried slices of homemade cheese stuffed with mint and spices, $5), vegetarian sabzi samose ($3), and a steaming cup of dal shorba (yellow lentil soup, $3). Next, take traveling taste buds on a tour of the Punjab region with any of the tandoori specialties; the tandoori khubiyan ($18)—a sampling of the dishes—gathers spicy, roasted chicken, prawns, and lamb on a sizzling plate. Gut-grumbling gamers can enjoy the fruits of real-life FarmVille with the rogan josh lamb ($14) and murg mirch masala (boneless chicken in a spicy sauce with potatoes and chili, $12), or the herbivore-friendly chana masala (chick peas sautéed with onions and spices, $8) and aloo gobi (spicy sautéed cauliflower and potatoes, $8). Perspiring palates, meanwhile, can sop the heat off their figurative brows with two kinds of raita, a soothing house-made yogurt ($3), and mutter pulao, saffron-perfumed rice with green peas and onions ($5).
After your first-class flavor cruise has docked and disembarked, swab your mouth-deck with a mango lassi ($2.95), an imported Indian Thums Up cola ($1.95), or a peppery masala chai ($2.95). Rasoi's bright, bold décor and delightful dining room's lingering aromas go especially well with a dish of house-made pistachio ice cream ($4) or a mango custard ($4) shared with your long-lost twin's optometrist. Give yourself something to sing about with today's Groupon to Rasoi: An Indian Kitchen.
An entree must be purchased before ordering drinks.

(Le Fay Series)
By Realm Lovejoy
Genre: YA Fantasy
Inspired by one of the greatest legends of all time…
Modern-day Camelot. Where knights no longer carry swords. Magic is dangerous. And those who seek control are not to be trusted.
Sixteen-year-old Morgan le Fay is a fire user. An ordinary girl with an extraordinary skill, she has the ability to create and command fire at will. Her dream is to become the Maven—the right hand of the future King Arthur. In the chance of a lifetime, Morgan is selected to join Arthur's Round, an elite group of young magic users from which the new Maven will be chosen.
Along with the other fire, water, and wind users in Arthur's Round, Morgan is rigorously trained and tested. The handsome Merlin, a brilliant water user, takes a particular interest in her. Is his friendship to be trusted, or is Merlin simply trying to win the position of Maven for himself? Among the many rivals Morgan faces is the current Maven, Mordred, who seems determined to see her fail.
But Morgan has a secret—years ago, her mother was executed for using fire magic, and Morgan's desire for justice makes her more than ready to take on the challenge before her. Can she prevail in Camelot's tests of survival and magic? Only time—and Morgan's powerful fire—will tell.
Realm Lovejoy's modern Arthurian series features one of literature's most complicated and powerful female figures. Henge is the first book in the LE FAY series, and—like Morgan le Fay's magic—it is sure to dazzle and amaze.
The water is at my waist. My heart thunders in my ears. This is fast-moving—definitely magic-caused. How is it possible for a magic user to produce this much water? It's icy, violent—it wants me dead.
Panting, I drop my book and start swimming. I have to reach the stairs. With each stroke, the water rises a foot higher. Light fixtures flash, then strobe for a second before fizzling out completely, darkening the room. Quickly, I swim over a bookshelf. I am getting closer and closer to the ceiling. As I swim past a chandelier, I hit into the crystals. Panic seizes me, and my body becomes heavier as my muscles tighten. The water user is flooding the library up to the ceiling so that I can't make it out. There's nothing I can do with fire magic when there's this much water. Soon the water will reach the ceiling, and I won't be able to breathe.
I've got to take a deep breath while I can and swim to the stairs.
There are only several centimeters of space between the ceiling and me. Fear takes hold of me, making my whole body taut and harder to stay afloat, but the instinct to live kicks into gear, and I focus on my goal: getting to safety. I have swum in the icy, rough waters of the Celtic Sea. The water user will have to work much harder to drown me. I exhale and inhale to oxygenate my bloodstream and then take my final gulp of air just before the water rises past my head. I plunge beneath the cold water.

"Kindness isn't gaged by how old or young you are but by the contribution you have made. When you are seven years old you can participate in the same kindness movement as a seventy year old. Kindness acts are easy for kids to complete because you don't need to be a certain age. I hope that more people participate in acts of kindness at young ages."

3 years ago, Jaden Winn was given a 3rd grade writing assignment where he was asked to consider what he might like to do when he grew up. He asked his mom, "What's it called when you find money for people who need it and get it to them?" His mom responded, "Go look up the word, 'philanthropist'. Jaden returned enthusiastically informing his mom, "I'm going to be a philanthropist when I grow up."
Since Jaden's mighty declaration, he assisted in raising funding to help preserve his teacher's job, danced in a Flash mob right along-side his mom to bring awareness to ending violence against women and launched his own giving program to raise money for the ONE Campaign.
When Jaden's not involved with community service programs, he's a pretty normal 12 year old boy and has a variety of interests. He has a love for dance, is a competitive soccer player, is crazy for the drums, and enjoys the outdoors, especially sailing and hiking. Jaden is also an enthusiastic student, loves to cook and enjoys learning about what being a caring and effective leader really means. Above all, Jaden is a big-spirited boy, full of light and life whose smile you can't help but return.
Jaden is thrilled to be setting out on this Kindness Journey, which he sees in three parts: one, the physical journey and adventure of traveling throughout the United States, two, the experience of contributing to an organization that he thinks is cool #kindnessiscool and three, the personal spiritual journey for himself and what he imagines will happen for him by giving to others – and how that will likely help him to be even more conscious of his actions. Jaden is also looking forward to experiencing more joy in his already close relationship with his mother, Amanda.
Jaden believes "kindness is a whole other language"; that you can speak through kind actions. Receiving kindness makes him want to give back to others because "it feels so good". He is beyond excited to be making this journey in honor of Life Vest Inside and hopes his work will help replenish the big pool of kindness that we all create with our actions.
"Kindness isn't always comfortable. Often times it's not our first inclination. Sometimes it can even be a real stretch for us, but what's profound to me is that any act of kindness we choose to initiate or participate in, we are changed for the better. Even through our smallest gestures, "we" as in you + me can leave love and goodness in our wake. Kindness ripples and boomerangs."

In her professional life, she is the founder of Wholehearted Business Development: a boutique agency of dedicated marketing, PR, design and operations professionals who care about holding the space for businesses to become all they are meant to be. WBD specializes in people using their life and their work for good.
In her free time, you might find her dancing in a flash mob she organized to raise awareness for a cause she believes in, cooking up a storm with Jaden or enjoying an evening of deep connection with her closest friends. What she most loves to do is share the goodness, build enduring bridges, connect people to resources that open doors wide open, and hold a quiet space in her heart for the path of healing to love.
She is honored to be a part of Life Vest Inside and beyond grateful to be providing her son with this amazing experience to follow his instincts of bringing kindness everywhere he goes. She is so proud to be Jaden's mom and learns from him every day. She hopes to meet you in one of their stops along the way and is overwhelmingly happy to be part of The Kindness Journey.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][mk_page_section layout_structure="full" bg_image="http://thekindnessjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/amanda-and-jaden-screened21.jpg" attachment="fixed" bg_position="center center" bg_repeat="repeat" bg_stretch="true" enable_3d="true" speed_factor="0.3″ bg_video="no" video_mask="false" video_opacity="0.6″ top_shadow="false" section_layout="full" sidebar="sidebar-1″ min_height="100″ full_width="false" full_height="false" intro_effect="false" padding_top="10″ padding_bottom="10″ margin_bottom="0″ first_page="true" last_page="true"][vc_column width="1/1″][mk_padding_divider size="29″][vc_column_text disable_pattern="true" align="left" margin_bottom="0″]

It's a good choice. I found The Book Thief at Target, today. It may have been a great choice, too.

Longer essays may also contain an introductory page that defines words and phrases of the essay's topic. Most academic institutions require that all substantial facts, quotations, and other supporting material in an essay be referenced in a bibliography or works cited page at the end of the text. This scholarly convention helps others (whether teachers or fellow scholars) to understand the basis of facts and quotations the author uses to support the essay's argument and helps readers evaluate to what extent the argument is supported by evidence, and to evaluate the quality of that evidence. The academic essay tests the student's ability to present their thoughts in an organized way and is designed to test their intellectual capabilities.

There is a small county park near our house that Roland and I usually visit about once a week. There is something there for both of us to enjoy: a playground for Roland and a walking path through the woods for me. We have a routine: Roland gets some of his crazy energy out at the playground first and then we head down the path into the woods. It has become a good lesson in taking turns and being willing to participate in an activity that somebody else enjoys. I also have found that taking a nice walk is a calming transition from the high- energy activity at the playground to the getting loaded up in the car for the drive home.
Is there anything more cheery than yellow aspen leaves against a bright blue sky? You have to take time to enjoy those rare sunny autumn days.
Running through the fallen leaves, a quintessential autumn experience.
One of my favorite things is admiring the way sunlight gently filters through the leaves, especially when the leaves are showcasing their autumn glory.
7 Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun.
8 So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity.
9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
Ecclesiastes 11:7-9

"I have put off getting my dental care for so long, I feel embarrassed and ashamed of what I have done. I have let my teeth and dental health go because I am afraid of the dentist and, quite honestly, dentistry is expensive and I don't think we can afford to get my teeth fixed right now with everything else that we have going on."
We hear this type of story over and over here at Sterling Dental Center. If this is your story, or the story of a loved one, you know the shame and embarrassment that burdens someone with poor dental health.
Fortunately, with advancements in today's dental technology and improvements in dental diagnostics, dentistry is more predictable and comfortable than ever before. While we cannot change your past dental experiences or neglect, we can create a new positive experience and give you the smile of you deserve. Dental implants are just one option we offer at your Sterling dentist.
Patients have A LOT of questions about dental implants and rightly so; they are a popular dental procedure that has been around for decades, but in the past 10 years have grown in popularity and reliability thanks to recent advances.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium screws that are designed to adhere to the bone in your jaw and act to replace your natural tooth root system. They are used to replace one tooth, multiple teeth or a whole arch of teeth. The reason you would need a dental implant would be:
- Tooth Decay
- Root canal that failed and now the tooth needs to be extracted.
- Gum disease has caused the supporting bone to erode.
- Excessive wear from grinding or use
- Trauma to the mouth or jaw.
- Open spaces because teeth never grew in.
- Infected or cracked tooth that needs to be extracted.
Once a person knows that they need a dental implant, the very next question is "How much do they cost?". I will cover that in detail in my next post.
Who needs dental implants?
Dear Dr. Bursich. I am so glad that I found your office. Before I came to your office I was very frustrated with my teeth. I have spent countless hours looking for a dentist I can trust and feel comfortable trusting with my dental care. When I was searching online I found your website. I watched your short video and you seemed genuine so I figured I would give you a try. When I met you and your staff I knew right away I was in the right place.
Missing a single tooth.
If you are missing a tooth you are a candidate for a dental implant. Your other options are as follows, doing nothing, a removable partial denture, a fix bridge or a dental implant.
I will give you the pros and cons of all of your treatment options.
Doing nothing to replace your missing tooth.
Pros, costs you nothing. Cons, bone will recess and other teeth may shift over time. Not ideal function or aesthetics.
Removable Partial Denture.
The pros are it is the least costly tooth replacement method, takes 3 visits has moderate function and good aesthetics. The cons are your partial denture needs to be removed at night for cleaning, not very sexy.
They can be uncomfortable and they do not prevent bone atrophy (a wasting or decreasing in size of your jaw bone).
Fixed Bridge
A bridge is a false tooth that is supported by two health teeth. A bridge can replace one or multiple teeth.
The pros of a fixed bridge is that it is fixed and not removable. If well cared for and done properly it can last 5-15 years. It is quick, can be done in two appointments over 2-3 weeks. It is it can be made to match aesthetics of your existing teeth and functions like your natural teeth.
The biggest con is that it grinds down two healthy teeth to be used as support. This is not necessary with an implant. The cost is around $3000 depending on insurance coverage and other factors.
Dental Implant
A dental implant is a fixed titanium screw used to replace the tooth root system. A prosthetic tooth is placed on top of the implant. The pros of an implant are that bone loss is comparable to your natural teeth. Aesthetics and function is virtually the same as your natural teeth. The main benefit over a bridge is there is no need to destroy two healthy teeth for support. There are many benefits over a partial denture and doing nothing if cost is not the main concern.
The con is that dental implant process can be 3 appointments over a period f 4-6 months. The cost is 3-4k and will take more time and money if bone loss has already occurred. So the sooner the less costly.
The Truth about Dental Implants Part 3
Dental Implants are truly the most desirable solution for replacing one or many teeth. Dental implants can function, look and feel like your natural teeth.
Dental implants, because of cost of dental implants, custom abutments, extra dental lab fees to attach the prosthesis to the crown, the procedure can be a little more costly than bridges or dentures.
Once a patient knows they are a candidate for dental implants, the very next question is: How much do they cost?
So I will give you the breakdown of what you can expect to pay for a dental implant and related procedures.
Single implant only $1000-$3000
Abutment and Crown $500-$3000
Average total Cost $4250.00
2-6 Implants with Dental Bridge $3500-$30000 for each arch.
Top and Bottom Implant Supported Dentures
$5000-$35000 each arch.
The biggest variable in cost has to do with the amount of bone that a patient has to place the implants. The only way this can be determined is by having a dentist look at a panoramic x-ray, a 3D scan of your jaw and a physical examination would be best.
The other variable is the experience and geographic location of the dentist. A dentist that has been placing implants for many years, located in Manhattan could charge more than a dentist that just graduated 3 years ago in rural Kentucky.
Since making the decision about whether or not to get dental implants, it would be best to choose a dentist that you trust and has a good reputation.
This is why I offer a complimentary dental implant consultation to all existing or new patients. We now have a Digital 3D CT machine in the office as well to get the highest accuracy for placing implants. Please feel free to call or stop by if you have any questions.
- Failing bridges.
- Replacing all your teeth.
- Floppy or loose dentures.
- How does the process work?
- What are the benefits of dental implants over other procedures?
- What are the downside of getting dental implants?
- How long does the process take?
- Is it painful?
- How much does it cost?
- Do I need to see a specialist?

I'm flexible to so many styles, but at the end of the day, I want to ensure that you like what is done for you. If you like the simple beauty of a bouquet of peonies, or organic materials tastefully incorporated into designs, I can do it! I only take on one project at a time, so I put a lot of heart into what I do. It allows me to stay focused on you and your event.
If I am brought on as your floral designer, the first step is for me to make a trip to your venue, to start planning ideas for the space. For larger weddings and events, we'll even walk the site together with examples of your proposed direction, so you can experience the work in the setting and context it will be used. On the day of the event, I allow plenty of extra time for setup, staging, and getting all the little details in order. By the event start time, everything is well in order and ready to go!

The list gets even shorter.
From the original list of 34 titles, only two contenders remain: "Orphan Train," a work of historical and contemporary fiction by Christina Baker Kline; and the memoir "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed.
"Our Book Selection Committee has considered many heartfelt and compelling speeches during our selection process," said Barb McDonald, outreach coordinator. "Each year, we face the difficult task of narrowing down our list of nominees to just one finalist. All 34 original candidates offered our community diverse themes that had the potential for initiating interesting discussions. The committee is looking forward to reaching consensus to reveal the 2015 One Book and invite its author to visit Sarasota."
The One Book One Community is also unveiling a new logo in recognition of the 12th year of promoting this program.
"Similar read-together programs are popular in many places around the country. The Sarasota County One Book One Community logo is special and unique among these reading programs. The new icon represents reading one book as one community. It is our hope that readers will make a connection with the new icon. Sarasota County's One Book logo advertises a way to find out how to become involved in a shared reading experience locally," said McDonald.

There are many instances when people are not in the mood to cook - when they're tired, hungry, or short on time, for example. This is when they are in the 'monkey mode'. Everyone can get in the monkey mode, and their need is to get food fast, in a simple and effortless way.
This concept kitchen is designed specifically for the monkey mode. Witricity enables a movable fridge to be at your side. The cooker automatically cooks when food is poured in. When you're done eating, you just wash off your plate and it's instantly clean.

text: I have created a comedy website and I have a few facebook pages with altogether 1,000,000 likes. My comedy site page only has 350 likes and getting the fans to like the page takes a long time. I was wondering is it possible to get a script to get my fans to click which will force them to like my website app page and get them to do something else which will help the website or make a lot of money? The reason I ask is to help speed up the progress of my site and it's nice to try other methods. If anyone has any information PM me or comment advice if you have any. I will consider JV's too. Thanks.

On 04-30 04, I took my 02 Silverado with 26,000 miles in for an oil change during inspection of my vehicle. Dealer discovered dirt in front and rear brake pads had damaged the brake rotors. Dealer was able to fix the damage to front rotors, but had to replace the rear rotors. When I questioned the service manger why this would happen he advised they have seen it on a number of trucks and there was nothing I could do to prevent it.

To Kalon has been the source of some of California's most famous wines for a century. It is one of the greatest homes of Cabernet Sauvignon "grapes" in the New World. This is the site that started the California cult cab mania and has produced many legendary wines including 99 point scores. In Wine Spectator's Great California Cabernets (annual report dated November 15, 2006) 5 of their top 30 great California Cabs were from Tokalon. Located in the Oakville at the base of the Mayacamas Mountain range, ToKalon experiences warm daytime temperatures tempered by the morning and evening fog influence from the Pacific Ocean. Our fruit is sourced from a block of the To Kalon that was planted with clone 4 in the mid 90's. Consisting mostly of clay loam, it drains well and doesn't retain nutrients. The effect is natural devigoration that results in smaller, more concentrated clusters of fruit and wines produced from here typically have a phenomenal combination of power and silkiness.

Though slipping from last season's premiere, the 'Housewives' put away the competition on Sunday night, leading ABC to a win in HH and A18-49.
ABC finished first for the evening with a 10.2/16 HH rating and a 6.4 A18-49 rating.
- Last season, Desperate Housewives opened with 28.36M viewers and a 12.3/26 A18-49 rating. This season; 23.86M viewers and a 9.5/21 A18-49 rating.
- The premiere of Brothers & Sisters did well, averaging 16.10M viewers with a 6.2/15 A18-49 rating. This is lower than the time period holder debut last season; Grey's Anatomy (18.98M), but in terms of viewers, almost on par with the launch of Grey's Anatomy two years ago, which also led out of Desperate Housewives. That show premiered with 16.25M viewers.
CBS followed in a very close second place with a 8.9/14 HH rating, though The Eye finished a distant fourth in the key A18-49 demo, delivering a 3.6 rating in that demo.
- Though it finished closely in second place in total viewers, CBS finished pretty low in the key A18-49 demo.
- "Without a Trace" finished first in the 10 PM time period, ahead of NBC Sunday Night Football and Brothers & Sisters, despite losing a good amount of viewers from its plush post-CSI opener last season (20.98M to 17.16M)
NBC finished in third place with a 8.4/14 HH rating, but it finished second place in A18-49, with a 5.0 rating.
- NBC Sunday Night Football did well still, but it was hurt a little by increased competition on the night, and fell to third place in both A18-49 and total viewers.
FOX followed in fourth for the evening delivering a 5.8/9 HH rating and third place in A18-49, with a 4.4 rating in that demo.
- The War at Home is turning out to be the weak link in an otherwise strong line-up of half-hour comedies. An average of 9.25M viewers watch up to The War at Home. That show averaged 6.66M viewers.
The CW finished in fifth for the evening delivering a 1.7/3 HH rating and a 1.1 A18-49 rating.
- Repeats of Everybody Hates Chris and America's Next Top Model mean there isn't much to discuss just yet.

We adhere to a disciplined investment selection, or due diligence, process that includes a thorough analysis of each manager that covers many important quantitative and qualitative factors.
- The quantitative factors focus on performance and risk as measured against an appropriate benchmark and their peer group.
- The qualitative factors focus on each manager's investment process, philosophy, and their history with the funds they manage.
We also consider the reputation and stability of each firm as well as their disciplinary history with the SEC. Once selected, we monitor each manager on an ongoing basis to make sure their performance meets our expectations.
