Loss is always hard, no matter how often it happens or what form it takes. We experienced the hurt of loss again today as one of our teenagers, Julio, drowned during a swimming trip at a local river in Mateo with our Breaking Chains teens.
Julio with Caitlin, one of our summer interns.
The teenagers have been so great this past week, so the BC team took them for a little excursion to a local watering hole that the teens enjoy. During late afternoon, after a day of swimming, it was discovered that Julio was missing. The other teenagers searched and later found him underwater, unconscious in a deep part of the river. He was 19 years old.
No one witnessed the occurrence, but Julio was a good swimmer so what exactly happened to cause the accident is a mystery. It is believed that he was caught in a current and pulled into an underwater cave. By the time the teens and team realized he was missing, nothing could be done.
Julio was an intelligent young man with a sweet spirit who had lived at the Breaking Chains building since early this year. Julio loved to please and was always willing to help with tasks around the Breaking Chains building. He had a desire to learn and was constantly fighting the battle between his vices and his yearning to improve his life.
Julio loved practicing his English and working with all of our U.S. visitors. We are thankful to all of our summer interns and groups who were able to interact with and have an impact on Julio. Your love, kindness and Christ-like imitation were a greater reflection of godliness for him than you will ever know.
Please be in prayer for everyone at Breaking Chains during this difficult time. Be in prayer for our teens as they cope with the loss of a dear friend, and be in prayer for our Breaking Chains team and interns as we try let go of our desire for logic and give the situation over to God. We will miss Julio dearly, but we rest in the fact that we have a Father full of grace and a Christian family to lift us up. Thank you for your prayers.

As gay and lesbian travel go, New Mexico tends to be popular among couples seeking romance, not singles on the make. Upscale, artsy towns like Santa Fe and Taos have little in the way of gay nightlife, and even the largest city, Albuquerque, has only a handful of gay bars and clubs, and a couple of longtime favorites have closed in recent years. For several years now, the city's best gay club has been Effex (more on that below), which continues to improve with renovations and expanded bar areas. So if you are visiting, and you're looking for some lively places to dance, mingle, and cruise, you'll find a few very inviting hangouts in Albuquerque.
Effex, the First "Big City" Gay Nightclub
Most of the city's gay or gay-friendly bars are in the Nob Hill section of town, which is also home to several restaurants and coffeehouses with a gay following. Just a few miles west of downtown, however, you'll find what's quickly become the city's most popular gay hangout, Effex Nightclub. This attractive space could fairly be called the city's first genuine "big city" gay nightclub. It's a spacious, two-level venue just off downtown's main drag, Central Avenue, Schlotzsky's Deli, and it comprises a large ground-floor dance floor with bars, a big stage, and a state-of-the-art sound system. Head upstairs and you'll find a similarly huge roof deck bar that's ideal for chatting (and gazing up at those New Mexico twinkling stars). The owners have further plans to create a VIP lounge and add plenty of other great new features, and the crowds (both men and women) have been flocking here.
Apothecary Lounge, a Swanky Hotel Bar
Downtown is also home to the swanky and fairly new Apothecary Lounge, a beautiful tapas bar and lounge with an expansive roof deck that affords panoramic views of downtown and the Sandia Mountains. The mixed gay-straight venue at the elegant Hotel Parq Central is part of a renaissance that continues throughout downtown.
Albuquerque Social Club
Historic Nob Hill, which is bisected by famous Route 66, lies just east of the University of New Mexico and a couple of miles east of downtown. The main hangout here is the Albuquerque Social Club, a private club for gay and lesbians, and it's become the neighborhood's -- and one of the city's -- most popular gay venues. You must be a member to enter "the Soch," but all are welcome (as long as they have a valid photo ID). The cost is $30 for an annual membership if you live in-state, and $5 if you live out of state. This had been mostly a locals' hangout, but it's enjoyed a big resurgence of late and now draws sizable crowds, especially on weekends, and has a friendly staff. The one drawback for late-night owls is that the club is only open until midnight most evenings, although on Fridays and Saturdays the doors stay open until 2 am.
Drive a bit farther east of Nob Hill along Central Avenue, and you'll come to one of the most venerable gay nightclubs in town, Sidewinders, which has the hottest club tunes, and always a great mix of people.
More Options to Have Some Fun
The city also has some less traditional gay nightlife options, including the highly inviting local coffeehouse-restaurant chain, Flying Star (Note: Flying Star is undergoing renovations and will reopen in September of 2019). These hip, smartly furnished hangouts are spacious and attractively decorated, several of them with fireplaces and most with large patios. There are six of them throughout Albuquerque. The one in Nob Hill along Central Avenue has the gayest crowd and is downright cruise-central some evenings. The downtown Flying Star, as well as the Corrales location, also draw plenty of "family", but you'll feel quite welcome at any of them (others are found in the North Valley, Uptown, Northeast Heights, off of Paseo del Norte. The latest branches opened in Bernalillo, just north of Albuquerque en route to Santa Fe (and home of the fab Hyatt Tamaya resort), and in Santa Fe at the Santa Fe Railyards District. Would that every city had a hangout as festive as this one. All of the Flying Star locations serve three meals a day, a wide range of coffees, wine and beer, and fresh-baked goods, and they also have free Wi-Fi.
LGBTQ Nightlife Outside of ABQ
For more on where to go in the Santa Fe, check out nightlife options in gay Santa Fe, and also be sure to consider the fabulous and festive Mine Shaft Tavern, a lesbian-owned roadhouse just an hour north of Albuquerque in the funky town of Madrid.

Southland returns to TNT for its third season premiere tonight. The show has made a name for itself as a hard, no-compromise cop drama that doesn't shy away from brutal crimes and honest characters. In stark contrast to lighter fare on both network and cable TV, Southland aims to bring the audience on a ride-along with the beat cops and detectives of the LAPD, showing every tense moment and hard choice. (which may be why it made the jump to cable last year.) The season 3 premiere of Southland delivers on the points that made the previous two seasons excel: showing the monotony, frustration and occasional terror that police experience in a city rife with gang violence and apathy.
The synopsis, courtesy of TNT:
SOUTHLAND Season 3 Episode 1 "Let It Snow" – Detective Lydia Adams (Regina King) endures a stressful adjustment period with her new partner, Josie Ochoa (Jenny Gago), as they investigate the disappearance of an illegal immigrant. Detective Russell Clarke (Tom Everett Scott), Lydia's former partner, adjusts to a new desk job on the force. Meanwhile, Detectives Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy) and Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro) look for the killer of two gangbangers and Officer Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie) catches the eye of an attractive woman during a traffic stop, while his partner, John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz), struggles with increasing pain.
The show treads familiar ground as the story follows the disconnected story lines. Those who tune in for the unflinching looks at street-level violence won't be disappointed, though those looking for more development after season 2's finale may find the first new episode a little lacking.
Cooper's continuing injury is the most prevalent theme of the beat cops' plot, and his developing addiction to his pain meds becomes problematic. The show follows along as he and Sherman start a typical day of traffic control. When Cooper needs a moment to try and augment his medication supply, he assigns the junior officer a trivial traffic stop. Sherman pulls the speeding Porche over, but in a predictable move lets the attractive and showy female driver off with a warning. The scene feels forced and more than a little stereotypical - how many times have we seen a hot woman talk her way out of a ticket? - but serves to show Sherman's own moral failings as he tries to convince Cooper to seek help.
From here the two are called to a shooting and we're treated to an excellent action set piece. There isn't a lot of set up; bad guys have automatic rifles, a cop is down and Cooper and Sherman are under fire. Southland manages to show off an impressive bit of screenwriting as the cops pull out some unconventional tricks to rescue the fallen officer and take down the suspects. The scene is tense and tight, with exactly the right amount of action and restraint, making for the best part of the episode by far. After the crescendo, the two accompany the downed man to the hospital where Cooper tries to convince his estranged wife to grant him more medications and Sherman (rather inexplicably) comes across the woman in the Porche again.
Detective Adams remains the upright and uncompromising investigator, but her new partner puts her off balance. Southland newcomer Jenny Gago delivers a sympathetic and believable performance as detective Ochoa. The two are a microcosm of the tense relationship between Latinos and African-Americans in the city, a contrast that the show isn't shy about showing off as the pair investigate the disappearance of an illegal immigrant who is raped and murdered at her workplace. There's an excellent scene as the two are driving to a suspect's home that tells you everything you need to know about the new detective in a few short moments. The dialogue in this exchange shines. The animosity between the two is palpable while being subtle, even as their contrasting skills allow them to close in on the suspect. The women's storyline proves to be the most compelling of the episode, as both are dealing with stressful home life while following the viscous deeds of their quarry.
The third sub-plot, following detectives Hatosy and Moretta, is dry and relatively uninteresting. Two gang members found murdered under a bridge are found to have raped the daughter of another powerful gang member. Aside from some tense moments while apprehending the suspect, this storyline left a lot of potential on the editing room floor. There's no sympathy for the murder victims, there's no sympathy for the violated girl - everything here is disappointingly procedural. Even the normally solid cinematography seems to take a dive, as several shots cross the line from cinema verite to downright bad camerawork. All in all, this one should have bee nleft alone to give the audience more time with the other two teams.
It's worth noting that series regulars Arija Bareikis and Tom Everett Scott barely make an appearance in the premiere. They aren't really missed; there's enough solid action and dialogue going on that their absence goes largely unnoticed. But this could be an indication that there characters will be taking a backseat this season. If that means more screen time for Cooper and Ochoa, the third season is shaping up to be a memorable one.
All in all, "Let it Snow" is a solid return for Southland. It delivers on the points that make it a favorite for those who want more gritty realism than the likes of Law and Order can provide. Excellent pacing and storytelling allow the show to clip along, with only a couple of sore spots. The police drama isn't always completely accurate, but seems to nail the feel of LAPD life down pat. Characters develop on a slow burn that doesn't get in the way of the action. If this episode is an indication of things to come, viewers will be delighted with the new season.

Petroleum Exploration and Production Association of New Zealand (PEPANZ) Chief Executive Cameron Madgwick said, "landfarming is nothing more than taking the ground-up rocks, mud and minerals left over from drilling activities and recycling them by placing them underneath the topsoil."
Unfortunately, the facts tell a different story. As Climate Justice Taranaki Inc. (CJT) pointed out at the public hearings on the Proposed South Taranaki District Plan, the euphemistically termed 'landfarming' is actually the spreading of contaminated oil/gas wastes on farmland, and mostly on the coast in South Taranaki.

Harvest Time at Camp Sweeney
On October 6th 2015, Planting Justice joined the boys at Camp Sweeney where we have partnered to work on the garden that we all built there together. We got the chance to spend three fun hours in the sun with participants watering, weeding, pulling out summer plants and planting fall and winter crops and bundling harvest. The boys have really taken ownership of the garden and were excited to share news of how they harvested and distributed produce to their families on visitation days throughout the summer. They also flexed their knowledge of how they take care of the garden everyday, some boys coming out in the wee hours of the morning to water...everyday :-)
A full Planting Justice crew came out, including Transform Your Yard superstars Alejandra and Julio. Also in attendance were Haleh, Anthony and Kelly. The boys report that working in the garden, growing the food, eating it and sharing it with community gave them a sense of peace and tranquility that they hadn't experienced before. A few even talked about considering going into business growing their own food. Of course that made us feel great and contributed to the vibes of positivity and light.
We also had a chance to join in the community room for freshly made smoothies with kale harvested from the McClymonds and Fremont gardens. The recipe of the day was mango, kale, pineapple sage (also harvested from McClymonds High School garden) and banana. Some of our smoothie chat included information about how to pick good, sweet bananas that have not been sprayed (sprayed bananas tend to develop stripes as opposed to spots when they ripen) as well as why the kale is necessary...a popular conversation with most of our youth, who would rather leave the kale out of the picture. When we explain all of the benefits of organic kale (nutritional powerhouse and superfood) and other life sustaining benefits (like healthy strong nails and hair) they usually have a change of heart. This is especially the case when mango is involved. Anthony played his smoothie guessing game with the boys, challenging their palettes to locate the source of each flavor on their tongues. The day was rewarding and fun!
We will keep you posted about the work of the boys at Sweeney Camp and their garden. They are seriously considering working with us to build out another area, a much larger area that will produce crazy amounts of veggies. Hopefully some of the boys will take us up on our offer of coming to work with us in one of our several interesting departments at Planting Justice.
More to come on Camp Sweeney next month!

Revenue officers have the primary responsibility for the prevention, detection, interception and seizure of controlled drugs being smuggled into or out of Ireland. They are based at strategic points of entry to the State and report to their managers. These managers in turn report and receive drug related intelligence from Investigations and Prosecutions Division.
All of the strategic management functions relating to drugs issues are based in the Investigations and Prosecutions Division.
These functions include:
The majority of drug related cash seizures are made when attempts are made to export money from the State. Seizures are also made at import and inland. Cash seizures continue to have a major impact on the activities of both national and international drug traffickers. Investigations are carried out through out the European Union and worldwide following a drug related cash seizure. Seized cash is transferred to the Exchequer for the benefit of the State.

Russia Frees Mikhail Khodorkovsky
Move Comes Eight Months Before Former Oil Tycoon Was Due to Be Released
Russian oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky walked out of a Russian penal colony Friday and boarded a private jet to Germany, ending a decade of incarceration for the country's most famous prisoner after at least two years of stealthy negotiations.
The tycoon's release and subsequent airlift—eight months ahead of his sentence's end—unfolded with the same secrecy and drama of his 2003 arrest, when government agents took control of his private plane on a Siberian tarmac and hauled him off at gunpoint. At the prison in the Russian...

Inspired by my friend Kazu Haga, I've been sitting and listening alot in the past day to my heart, my mind and my body, and want to share from all those intelligences.
Part 1: I'm heartbroken. I'm staring into the face of the very real possibility that the most vulnerable people I love, the most vulnerable places I love, could now experience even more suffering and loss. That the path towards the restoration of a life sustaining, thriving and just world for all just got a whole lot steeper, a whole lot harder. My life my not change very much, considering what I look like, but many other people's will. I am afraid. I went to aikido, and let myself fall to the ground, over and over.
And, I read what is being written here on facebook and know my heart is broken alongside other incredible hearts. I'm bouyed by the writing here by people I know and respect - each speaking with an incredible wideness, a whole-hearted clarity, a commitment of fierce love, and kindness on how to be with each-other today, tomorrow, onward. We are calling each other. We are talking to strangers. We are listening. We are, as Rebecca Solnit says, falling together.
To me this is a huge clarification of something I remembered over dinner on election night. When the Dali Lama was asked by a reporter who his greatest spiritual teacher was, his response was Chairman Mao - "He shows me what I most love." When I fully accept the results of this election, it offers an incredible clarity, and incredible taking stock. These people and these places are what I love, and I will not, under any circumstances, cease to stand with them. I will put my body in the way.
Absolutely, I want to organize more efficiently, and get to work, but I don't want to too quickly pole-vault over the vast emotions of sadness, confusion and fear, because they are simply the other side of my love. I believe they hold the very compass that guide me as I take action, and sustain me. I want to follow the direction of nearly every great spiritual tradition and merge with that, get curious about it, listen to what is there. In my opinion, the activism of the last forty years has been deeply stunted from clipping civic action from grief, confusion, exhaustion and dark. If I clip this again, I'm likely to just create the same type of change that has been going for the last eight years. Which obviously hasn't been working well enough to prevent this.

Once in a while I write a small article under the name "CASUAL THOUGHTS". I just write down the ideas and thoughts, which flow through me and offer them to you, my friends like FOOD. You can reject it or taste it. If you like it, you can eat it, but even then, you can choose to keep and use what is beneficial for you at the moment and simply release the rest, because the shortest way to your destiny is your own path.
Some people have told me that that "being happy" is just a matter of taking the decision to be happy. In a certain way I agree, but it seems a little bit too simple for me. Although I can understand that a decision must be made, I wonder what kind of decision that would be. Everybody probably has experienced "being happy" on a few occasions in his/her life, so when we can recall and relive the feeling of "being happy", we are happy again.
However, I am still missing something. It is as if I have to travel every time to the feeling of "happiness", instead of "being happy" all the time. Maybe we need another approach. For instance: Why are people "unhappy"? You might say, that they made the wrong decision, but nobody consciously makes the decision to be "unhappy".
So there must be something else. It occurred to me that people might be "unhappy" because they don't live the life of the being that they truly are, because they don't live an authentic life. Maybe people have decided at some point to play the roles that other people wanted or expected them to play. When you are a hammer, and you play the role of a saw for your father, the role of a screw driver for your teacher, and the role of a wrench for your employer, you cannot be happy, of course. And yet, this is what a lot of people do. They play the role that their parents, their teachers, and their employers want them to play. Apart from being "unhappy", because they don't live the life of their Real Self, they become stressed and maybe sick because of all the different roles they have to play. The different roles tear them apart.
The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that true and lasting "happiness" is the result of being what we really are. So, the decision to be "happy", can be replaced by the decision to be who and what we really are.

What goes around comes around: After college, I worked at The Huntington Library in San Marino, CA. I loved that job but left to go to Notre Dame. Who knew that 25 years later my former boss would invite me to work at her and her husband's company, eHarmony! I'm helping people connect to love through selling a personal matchmaking service. I am thrilled as my mission is to facilitate personal growth and self awareness, radiate Divine love, and live in harmony with Nature. Very happy to find a company in alignment with my mission.

I just wanted to post this delicious recipe that I tried tonight. I've made Butternut Squash Risotto before, and it was good, but we thought it was missing something. After doing some research, I found this recipe and it is so good. The sage & nutmeg really bring the recipe home.
A few tweaks on my part: I didn't use white wine, because we didn't have any (and I don't even know if cooking with it is good if you are pregnant anyway). Instead I added a dash of cream at the end, which helped make it super creamy and yummy. I also used fresh roasted Butternut Squash, which is so easy to do: Cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds, place face down on a cookie sheet lined with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
The butternut squash helps make the dish very buttery without a lot of butter. Also: I didn't use a whole onion. I used maybe 3/4 of one, and it was perfect for us.
Olivia loved it also, so it is a good dish for little ones. The creamy consistency probably helps.
On a side note: I promise to post more, I'm just still really sick. Today was a bit better, but I live in a constant nauseous state. I keep telling myself "2 1/2 more weeks" until I am out of the 1st trimester. HOPEFULLY the nausea will subside. But, in all honesty, if being sick is something I have to be in order to produce a healthy baby, I won't complain. :o)

Men's and women's Henley's and Hoodies; Kid's long sleeves, infant shirts...Oatmeal, smoke, onyx, organic heaven (that's the blue)...organic materials, made in the USA...all blank canvases...what ever can we do with these???!!!
Very excited to have received this order of assorted apparel test pieces. The initial reaction is SWEEEEETTT! The pieces appear to live up to the quality craftsmanship promised by the manufacture...and we are blown away by the feel of the fabrics - exceptionally soft to the touch! (Had to fight Kelsey off from wearing them already)
From here we will get a feel for how the sizing runs and begin testing our in-house printing process and designs.
Coming to a shop near you? Probably not at this early stage. But who knows, maybe there will be a few limited editions available for that special Christmas present you are looking for this year.
Stay tuned!

Below, you see on the front page that we had taken out our boat out into the Ocean from the small town harbor, to explore the coast line and beaches, around the end of this big California Baja Peninsula.
Two Oceans meet at this rocky point and this beach is called Lover's Beach. We had so much fun exploring and touring around the bay.
At night we went out to a famous 'Chicken' diner, where each meal was only $3 per person. The boys LOVED the chicken. Look at Jacob sucking on a yummy chicken bone. Who would have known that only 3 months later our whole family would go 'Vegan' for the next 7 years.
The bottom photo is of Jordan, Austin and myself leaving the harbor in a small boat to take me to the Parasailing boat.

His many skills add up to one impressive package
Scholar-performer: Michael Silberblatt
Pursuits: Theater, science, math
Favored genres: Shakespeare, contemporary comedy
Notable roles: Aaron in "Titus Andronicus" (award-winning monologue); Cornelius Hackl in "Hello, Dolly!" (upcoming at Coronado School of the Arts).
Accomplishments: Silver award, national YoungArts program; first runner-up, English-Speaking Union's Shakespeare competition.
Key quote: "There's two parts of me, like a right brain and a left brain. I really like using both, and if I delve too much into one, I kind of miss the other."
Talk about well-rounded. You might need pi to measure the breadth of Michael Silberblatt's talents.
Better yet, let Michael do the measuring. The senior at the Coronado School of the Arts is a math phenom who earned a perfect score on the SAT Level 1 math test (and nearly aced Level 2). He's also a physics wiz who plans to make that subject one of his college majors.
So, naturally, right now the 17-year-old's life is all about ... acting?
Turns out there's a good reason for that. Michael, who first got the urge to perform around fifth grade, has been taking the stage in a range of productions pretty much ever since, from Shakespeare to "Zombie Prom."
His acting skills earned him a spot as one of some 140 finalists (out of about 4,000 hopefuls nationwide) in the annual YoungArts program run by the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. That meant a weeklong trip to Miami in January for workshops with such stage luminaries as the Norwegian actress and director Liv Ullmann.
The intensive event also served as a kind of extended audition — and, apparently, Michael nailed it. Earlier this month, he learned he had been selected as the winner of a YoungArts Silver Award. He also was nominated as a Presidential Scholar in the Arts, a separate program. (Only 30 other students received both honors.)
The Silver Award means Michael earns $5,000 and an all-expenses-paid trip to New York in late April for more workshops. That might prove a useful preview to the next few years of his life; among the 10 colleges Michael has applied to are Yale, Princeton and New York University.
He's still not ready to leave science completely behind, but Michael, who lives in the Coronado Cays, says acting gives him a buzz that's hard to beat.
"I think I get sort of two different types of charges (out of performing)," he says. "One is a personal, internal thing: I think if I can attack a piece I've never really done before, and I know I've done a good job internally — that I'm improving myself — it's kind of a reconfirmation that what I'm doing really matters.
"The other type of charge, I suppose, is the audience reaction. Which is the other great thing in theater, because it's immediate. It's nice to know that other people are enjoying what I do. Just getting that instant feedback."
Michael did have one opportunity in school to pair his two passions: For a pre-calculus honors project, he created and starred in a rap video about math equations, set to Justin Timberlake's "Sexyback" and a couple of other contemporary songs. (Naturally, it earned a perfect score.)
Though he doesn't come from a performing family — his parents are both in the medical field — Michael remembers finding his muse during read-alouds in elementary school, when he discovered a talent for putting voices to characters.
Roles in children's theater eventually led him to the Coronado arts academy, as well as such experiences as playing the male lead in "Romeo and Juliet" during the Old Globe Theatre's summer intensive program. He also has done at least a play a year at school — next up is "Hello, Dolly!," in which he'll play Cornelius Hackl.
A major inspiration has been Kim Strassburger, who performs regularly at San Diego Rep, Diversionary Theatre and other local companies and is an instructor at Michael's school.
"She's an incredible teacher," he says. "She's actually the person who got me into Shakespeare. Before that, I was the average high schooler, thinking Shakespeare was something not so entertaining."
(Speaking of the Bard: In his spare time, Michael was named first runner-up in last year's annual, countywide Shakespeare competition sponsored by the English-Speaking Union.)
While he awaits the results of the Presidential Scholars nomination (winners get to spend time with the chief exec) and readies for the New York visit, Michael also is contemplating life after high school. Wherever he ends up for college, his plan is to pursue a double major: theater, and something more left-brained, whether it be math, physics or some other science.
As Michael points out (and doubt his calculations if you dare): "There's art in that, too."

In honor of our monthly theme celebrating the power of women, and with summer officially here (evidenced by the scorching hot temps and the house full of excited kiddos + rambunctious pups!), it's about time we talk about a couple of summer staples: swimsuits and shorts. But not just the fashion side—although that's in here too! 😉 YOU, yes you, can rock a swimsuit.
We put so much value on perfection, but true perfection is embracing our imperfect selves just the way we are. And while swimsuit shopping can be something that we absolutely dread—trust me, I know—instead of thinking about what you dislike, think about all of the pieces that make you YOU.
Our kids will remember the fun times in the pool, and not what we looked like in a swimsuit. I want my daughters to grow up loving themselves and creating incredible memories, and the best way to share that with them isn't by telling them, but by showing them how to have fun and embrace their imperfections because that's what I try to do myself!
Now let's savor those moments and focus on what's really important this summer—having some FUN!
Outfit Details: Vitamin A Swimsuit (similar here), Rag & Bone Jean Shorts (budget-friendly here under $30), Soludos Slides, Hat, and Towel
While it might be tempting to endlessly peruse—both on social media and in the store— the hot new trends like cut outs or a super deep V, simplicity and comfort are key to feeling great and having fun…and being realistic. If you're anything like me, I don't plan on chasing my kids around the pool in a swimsuit that's not covering much…of…anything!
Keeping it cozy and cute this summer (both in and out of the pool), my favorite trend this season: one piece swimsuits like the one I'm wearing. Let's be honest, I haven't worn a one piece since 5th grade but I am definitely a one piece lifer now! They are legit so cute that it's hard NOT to love them!
If a one piece isn't your thing, this suit also comes in an adorable scoop neck bikini top paired perfectly with high waisted shorts! Super cute and full coverage (always a bonus).
Speaking of full coverage, wearing one pieces give me a break from sucking in and/or flexing. 🙂 Plus, with my self-proclaimed love of bodysuits, adding shorts to this suit gives it a bodysuit look! Love that!
TIP: Regardless of your height, weight, or shape, I promise you there is a swimsuit out there that will make you feel like a million bucks. It's all about what you want to highlight and show off!
- A high cut swimsuit will make your legs look longer!
- Adding a contrasting stripe or deeper cut neckline will slim–I will never say no to that!
- A one piece with ruching or a high waisted accent, like this cute one from Target (Bonus: it's under $30) or this super cute palm print suit, are some other great figure-flattering swimsuits sure to get you poolside ready.
In terms of shorts, I don't know about you, but I'm always on the hunt for good cut off shorts! Sometimes cut offs can be TOO short, though, and I like to find something that is in the middle is best for grab-and-go running around. Some of my go-to brands for shorts are Madewell, Rag & Bone, and Joe's Jeans.
For that longer look, I go with a rolled hem. You get both the look in terms of length AND total comfort. Alternatively, a distressed denim keeps it super cute (like the ones I'm wearing here) but not too youthful (we can't all be in our 20s anymore :)). If you're going for a bodysuit look, rocking a high waisted short (LOVE these blush shorts by Madewell) is a must-have in your summer jean short rotation.
Beat the heat this summer and show off your best asset—YOU!!—by treating yourself to a swimsuit that makes you feel comfortable, and most importantly, confident this summer. Jump in that pool (make sure that lady toupee is secured if you're like me!) and have a blast this summer, I know I will!

There are dozens of ways that members of River Garden Senior Services staff make a difference in the lives of our residents, clients and families, and Coves members. We hear about them every day – through letters, phone calls and surveys.
Many residents, members, clients and families have asked how one can say "Thank You" for the care and attention during an individual's stay at River Garden or while living at The Coves.
The Staff Appreciation Fund allows individuals and / or families to formally recognize the exceptional care and attention received.
If you have been touched by the River Garden family then we would encourage you to pass your gratitude along with an honorary donation to our agency. A message of appreciation will be shared with your caregiver(s), the supervisor and his / her professional colleagues.
Families may also acknowledge a care unit with a basket of fruit, a box of kosher cookies, or candy, which would be available to all on the care unit. If you have any questions concerning permissible foods please talk with your social worker. In addition, handmade craft items (ex: beaded necklaces, handmade pottery, painting, etc.) crafted at River Garden from River Garden materials are permitted to be given to staff. River Garden's policy does not permit staff to solicit or accept tips or gifts in any form.
We very much appreciate that you may want to honor our staff for all they do for your loved ones, and hope that you will take advantage of the many ways you can do so while helping us maintain this policy.

Our Story:
Nick Ferraro ran South Hills Pet Resort, a boarding and training facility, and purchased it in 2012. Ashley Rittle was having a hard time with her dog, and called Nick to request his training services. Little did they know the adventure ahead; they were married in June 2013, and that August, they were asked to help a local animal rescue that had been overwhelmed with dogs pulled from high-kill shelters set to be euthanized for behavioral issues. They agreed to take 13 dogs, but 62 dogs were dropped off at their door filling all of the Resort's boarding kennels. Nick and Ashley cared for all 62 of these dogs in need, rehabilitating them before finding each dog a forever home. Ashley will tell you this is the moment they knew what they had to do. The plan was to dedicate ten of the Resort's boarding kennels to dog rescue, but as we all know, plans often change.
Today, South Hills Pet Rescue (SHPR), an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, houses an average of 50 rescue dogs at all times. Apart from three part-time staff members who care for the dogs onsite, SHPR is run by volunteers. Your support of SHPR directly helps dogs in need!
Thank you so much for visiting our page! Please also visit our website at www.southhillspetrescue.org!
Did You Know?
Once a South Hills Pet Rescue dog, always a South Hills Pet Rescue dog: if an adoption doesn't work out, the adopter is required to return the dog to SHPR per the adoption contract so that SHPR can work to find him or her a new home.

USGS scientists took high-tech sensors typically found in devices such as smart phones and embedded them into a new method to monitor riverbed movements that can help protect spawning habitat for endangered salmon. Developed in cooperation with Seattle Public Utilities for the Cedar River, the new method is published in the Journal of Hydrology.
Seattle Public Utilities manages the Cedar River for about 70 percent of Seattle's drinking water, limited flood control, and to provide beneficial conditions for instream resources including spawning habitat for several species of salmon and trout. During spawning, female fish dig depressions in the gravel, called "redds," where they lay their eggs to incubate and hatch.
Several species lay eggs around the fall-winter flood season. To protect the water supply, endangered Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, bull trout and 80 other species, the City of Seattle is implementing the 50-year, Cedar River Watershed Habitat Conservation Plan. As part of the plan, Seattle works with the interagency Cedar River Instream Flow Commission to provide beneficial stream flows in the 35 miles of river downstream of Chester Morse Reservoir.
High-tech sensors called "accelerometers" are used in smart phones, for example, to detect a change in phone movement, such as turning it to get a wider view. Scientists took accelerometers, coupled with data-logging circuits, and placed them in tubes that were then buried in the Cedar River's gravel in 26 salmon-spawning locations, at about the same depth in the gravel as salmon bury their eggs. During the 2010-11 flood season, when Cedar River high flows began moving gravel, the accelerometers tilted as the river moved them, too. The accelerometers automatically recorded the time of tilt, which scientists could relate to how much flow was in the river then, based on recorded USGS streamflow data.
"This is a great method to capture hard-to-get data that is so important to river management," said Andy Gendaszek, USGS hydrologist and lead author of the journal article. "From this study, we learned at what flow the river begins to scour, or move gravel. We found that most scour occurs at or before the peak of a flood."
The journal article, "The timing of scour and fill in a gravel-bedded river measured with buried accelerometers," by Andrew S. Gendaszek, Christopher S. Magirl, Christiana R. Czuba, and Christopher P. Konrad, is published in the Journal of Hydrology, and available online. It is available as a PDF file and printed copies will be available in July 2013.

Enterprises and users continue to be concerned about mobile apps and mobile malware because they have been trained by legacy antivirus software packages. Look for a known malware file and remove it. The issue with this logic on mobile devices is the mobile operating systems evolve and add features very rapidly. The mobile operating systems add millions of lines of code in a year and therefore introduce unintended consequences, bugs and vulnerabilities. In 2017, there were more CVEs registered for Android and iOS than all of 2016 and 2015 combined. In 2017 there were 1229 CVEs awarded. Over half of these CVEs that received scores of 7 or greater indicated that the vulnerabilities are severe and exploitable. This trend is expected to continue as the mobile operating systems mature and more features are added.

Batteries: Care of batteries
Care of batteries
Batteries discharge by creating a flow of electrons from one material to another. As one material oxidises it releases electrons, while the second material, covered in an electrolyte, gains the electrons. When plugged into the mains, a rechargeable battery is able to reverse this process. The electricity from the mains causes the material that gained electrons during discharge to release them again as it oxidises. The free electrons then alter the electrolyte, so the material that lost its electrons in discharge gains them back again and the battery is recharged ready for use.
Prolonging battery life
Most batteries in film cameras are disposable and quite expensive, so there is good reason to keep battery consumption to a minimum. And although all EOS digital cameras use rechargeable batteries, there might be times when you need to conserve power – for example, when your battery power is getting dangerously low during a shoot and you don't have a spare available.
EOS cameras use battery power for a whole variety of functions – from moving the shutter itself, to metering and autofocus (see table). This means that in order to prolong the battery's life you need to address the way you actually use your camera; the more economical you can be with the battery, the more pictures you will be able to shoot per battery/charge.
There are a few practical things you can do to maximise the number of pictures you can shoot from one battery/charge:
- Try not to activate the metering until you are ready to shoot. If you are photographing a moving subject, this technique is not practical, but when you are shooting a stationary subject – for landscapes, for example, it is possible to leave the camera turned off until you have composed and manually focused the shot, and are ready to shoot.
- When you have finished shooting, turn your camera off; when you are walking around with the camera hanging from your neck it is possible to knock a button and activate the camera. Turning the camera off will avoid this risk.
- If you are using an image stabilised (IS) lens, turn it off whenever your shutter speed is fast enough to avoid camera shake (a speed of 1/60sec is approximately the minimum shutter speed necessary when hand-holding your camera, but this varies from person to person, and depends on the focal length of the lens you are using). The image stabiliser draws power from the camera and leaving IS switched on will reduce your battery life considerably, particularly if you are using a super-telephoto lens.
- When using autofocus in low light or low contrast situations, the camera may struggle to lock on to the subject. In these circumstances, the lens might start to 'hunt' through the focusing range as it tries to find focus. The camera is consuming battery power all the time it is trying to focus. To conserve battery power, turn off autofocus and focus manually instead.
Battery check
All EOS cameras allow you to check the charge status of the loaded battery.
On early film models (EOS 600, 620, 650), pressing the battery check button inside the flap on the back of the camera brings up a display on the LCD panel. Three bars indicates full battery power; two bars shows the battery at half charge; one bar means that the battery is almost exhausted.
On cameras without an LCD (EOS 750, 850), turning the command dial to the battery symbol provides sound signal of up to eight beeps a second from a fresh battery. When this slows to about two beeps a second, the battery is almost exhausted.
On later film cameras and all digital models, a symbol of a battery is displayed on the active LCD. If the symbol is filled with black, the battery is fully charged. When only half the symbol is black, the battery is half-charged. When the symbol is open (no black in-fill), the battery is exhausted.
Battery cover
Do you still have the plastic cover for your battery? You should use it whenever the battery is not being recharged or in the camera. It keeps the contacts clean, and also removes the risk of the battery shorting against other metal when it is packed in your camera bag.
Back-up battery
You might not be aware of this, but there are actually two batteries in your EOS digital camera. The second – a back-up battery – is used to maintain the camera's date and time settings when you remove the main battery for recharging. The quoted life of the back-up battery is around five years, but it can last much longer than this.
When the battery runs down, you will need to replace it and then reset the date and time. If when you remove the main battery, the correct date and time is lost, you know it is also time to replace the back-up battery.
The back-up battery is a small, flat, watch-type cell, either CR2016 or CR2025, depending on the camera (see earlier table for details). Turn the camera off before changing the back-up battery.
EOS film cameras
Back-up batteries are not exclusive to digital EOS cameras. Many EOS film cameras use them, as well. This is because there are quite a few film models available in QD or Date versions. These cameras can imprint the date in the bottom right corner of the film. As with the digital cameras, a back-up battery is needed to retain the date information when the main camera battery is removed.
Not just the date
It is not just the date that a camera needs to remember when the main battery is removed. On film cameras, it is important that you don't lose the frame number and ISO speed – and there are other settings that are is useful for the camera to remember.
Film cameras can do this, even if they are not QD or Date models and do not have a back-up battery. Instead, they use EEPROM. This is short for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. The camera continually writes data to the EEPROM. Power is not needed to retain this data (in the same way that there is no power source in a CompactFlash card to retain image file data). So if the battery is removed, the camera reads the EEPROM to restore the settings as soon as the battery is replaced.
EEPROM cannot be used for date and time data, as this information will have changed when a replacement battery is inserted into the camera. You need a back-up battery to keep track of date and time.
