What is the waiting time to see a RelationSpace practitioner?
The admin team at RelationSpace try, wherever possible to meet your appointment expectations in a timely and respectful way. The high demand for psychological services provided by skilled professionals means that our therapists must balance the intake of new individuals or families with the important role of taking care of their existing clients. This may mean approximately 4 weeks notice will be required before we can schedule a series of appointments for you, your ex-partner and your children to attend therapy.
What is evidence based therapy?
Clinicians use techniques in therapy which have scientific evidence that they are effective, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). CBT is a type of therapy that helps you understand the way your thoughts, behaviours and moods interact. It is a well established treatment that improves anxiety, depression, relationship problems and stress. There are many other effective therapies to assist separating parents and their children.
What can I expect from a consultation?
A 50-60 minute consultation aims to provide you wish a greater understanding of your emotions, behaviours and actions in order to improve your life. Consultations are designed to give you knowledge in order for you to take control of your emotions, behaviours and actions.
Who can benefit from consultations?
Therapy is often viewed only as treatment for people with psychological disorders. However, therapuetic consultations can also be effective for those who do not suffer from psychological disorders. Therapeutic consultations can assist anyone who wants to make changes to their lives by improving their performance, wellbeing or quality of life. This may include improving parent-child relationships, managing anxiety or anger, or improving confidence.
How long does psychological treatment / therapy take to work?
This varies depending on the situation. Simple issues might take just a few sessions, although most clients attend 6-10 sessions. It all depends on the goals you set and the time frame that you would like to work in.
Can I claim from Medicare immediately for the consultation?
Yes. Consultations at RelationSpace are set at $260 per session and are GST exempt. The session cost is claimable through Medicare provided the therapist has a Medicare Provider number and the client is on a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP). A MHTP is provided by a General Practitioner (GP) and you bring the plan with you to your first appointment at RelationSpace. There is a Medicare easy claim terminal on-site, meaning you do not need to visit a Medicare office to claim the rebate. The Medicare prescribed refund amount will go into your cheque or savings account within minutes of the full account being settled.
What is Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) and how does it work at RelationSpace?
Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners are accredited by the Attorney General's Department to mediate or resolve disputes between parents. At RelationSpace, our FDRP's are experts in parenting matters and helping separated parents develop a Parenting Plan or way that they can peacefully get on with the task of co-parenting in a situation of separation or divorce. The majority of families that go through a mediation process at RelationSpace reach an agreement. There is then support for helping the parents met the agreement that has been made in the short, medium and long-term. Sometimes when parents can't reach an agreement together, or when mediation is not suitable, the FDRP can issue a Section 60I certificate. This allows you to file an application in a court. Each adult will attend a 1.5 hour "pre-mediation" which is an individual and private session with the practitioner. If suitable, the adults will then proceed to a 3 hour joint mediation. This may not require the adults to be present in the same room at the same time, this is called a 'shuttle mediation'. The adults, together with the FDRP work together to come to a workable agreement on the parenting goals that matter to them.
What is Family Therapy and how does it work at RelationSpace?
Dealing with separation is hard for everyone in the family - and because RelationSpace is a children's practice too, therapists will always require an individual consultation with each adult before meeting the children. Sometimes therapists work with the adults in separate (or joint) appointments for some weeks before involving the child. Therapists work to repair separated relationships between a parent/s and a child/ren or difficulties between siblings that may arise from the parental conflict. Therapists at RelationSpace have special interest knowledge in attachment, alienation, step-parenting, same-sex parenting, surrogacy, complex family dynamics and family violence.
What is Parenting Coordination and how does it work at RelationSpace?
Parenting Coordination is a term commonly used in the United States but is relatively unknown in Australia. It describes a method or a system where families are supported once they have an Order, a parenting plan or a direction from a Judge on their parenting matter. If you are in a Family Court process in Australia, you may have Interim Orders or Final Orders. It is possible you and your ex-partner have an agreement that you came to together or with the assistance from an FDRP or family therapist. An experienced professional at RelationSpace can help you manage ongoing issues with a ex-partner and the parenting agreement you have reached. You can get support and help in how to implement, follow, comply or re-look at a parenting arrangement, or help to manage Court Orders. With the right support you can protect, sustain and adapt the agreement that you have so that you can provide the best support to your children at the time they need it most. Engaging with a professional at RelationSpace could help keep things on track and be a place to come back to if things start to go wrong.
What is RelationSpace Online?
RelationSpace Online is a new, interactive program for high conflict separating parents and provides an access anywhere/anytime online learning experience aimed at reducing the conflict of separation. RelationSpace Online distills the best parts of the RelationSpace clinical practice that has helped thousands of families in similar situations.
Do I need a referral to come to RelationSpace or to enrol in RelationSpace Online?
The Courts, your family lawyer or legal practitioner, physician or other professional may suggest you look into getting some help from the services offered at RelationSpace. They may suggest you enrol in RelationSpace Online to find some immediate, targeted support, or to book an appointment.
You do not need any referral for appointments or to enrol in RelationSpace Online.
Program enrolment to RelationSpace Online is immediate, offers content and material that is usually provided in the first 4 to 6 sessions with a clinical psychologist or therapist and offers a comprehensive program transcript and certificate on completion. You may use this certificate and transcript to show that you have completed and engaged in the program learning.
How long is RelationSpace Online and how much does it cost?
Most users take between 8 and 10 hours to complete the material presented in the program. However, you can spend as much time as you like reviewing lessons and material, downloading resources and practising the skills. You can go back and review the videos and the lessons as often as you wish over your 12 week personal access period.
There are several options on enrolment pricing:
An introductory "launch" price of $550 (inc GST) is on offer until the next release of the program planned for late 2018.
You may wish to package a your first practitioner consultation with your enrolment at $660 (inc GST) or;
Or a 2 enrolment package may suit you if you and your ex-partner wish to split the program cost at $770 (inc GST) for both enrolments.
The benefit to you and your children that you will gain from RelationSpace Online will be invaluable:

All I've listened to in the car over the last few months is this
David Guetta album:
David Guetta album:
I just love the vocals of the two songs I'm sharing today. Watch right to the end of both clips, because they have very cool endings.
This first one features Usher, who I first saw in The Bold and the Beautiful many years ago, and now he's mega famous. Such a catchy toon! And a good one to go with these hot summer days we're having.
I've been waiting for AGES for them to release a video for Titanium and I think it's brilliant. Sia is the featuring vocalist. Gotta love those high notes!
I'm linking up with Thea at Do I Really Wanna Blog for her Sunday Session.
Well, it's nearly Sunday anyway. Head on over to hear some more great songs. xx

Stalemate Flesh Interview
SLUG: How would you best describe the sound of your band to someone who has never heard it before?
Stalemate Flesh: We would classify it as extreme metal, really. It combines elements of thrash, death, and black metal with elements of punk, and some classic riffing. With influences ranging from groups like Strapping Young Lad, Six Feet Under, Slayer, Dead Kennedys, etc. We try to cover the gamut of all the elements from these bands to make a "metal potpourri." Lyrically we center around the things that are affecting everyone on all facets of life: religion and politics. Mostly, they are angry, hate-filled diatribes about the problems we view in the world.
SLUG: Do you have any recorded material available to buy or listen to? If so, where can people pick it up/hear it? Do you have any recording plans?
Stalemate Flesh: We have already finished our first album, titled "Freedom 2020". At the time of this interview, it is being manufactured and should be complete in about 3-4 weeks. If we were to have an official release date, I would speculate Feb 20th. If you want to reserve a copy, e-mail me at email@example.com. We will also try to get it released at the Heavy Metal Shop and other local record stores. We do have all of our music available online to stream at www.soundcloud.com/stalemateflesh. The thing that's great about having the physical copy is the artwork. You can view the cover on my Facebook page (search for Christus Black and you'll find me, our band page specifically on Facebook is being built at this time). It's zombie children in school doing what I call the "Hitler wave" while pledging allegiance to the US flag in which the stars have been replaced by the symbol of fascism. Although we loathe Hitler, bigotry, racism, etc. we have a feeling that with the way the politicians in the country, along with the Supreme Court, have neutered what this country was founded upon, we see that the future of freedom, and this country, is going to be nothing more than a long-ago thought while our children will be raised in a black and white world of key fears and phrases (like socialism, fascism) that will do nothing but remove our liberties for the price of safety and convenience. That and the nuclear blast behind it is really the only way things will be taken back to the lowest denominator.
SLUG: What is the mental mindset of your band? Basically, what is your band trying to convey to listeners?
Stalemate Flesh: We are pissed. We think the world, and specifically our country, has been razed, politically anyway, to where people are nothing more than a liability to the gears of greed and "progress." The Supreme Court ruled that companies are people, thereby overturning the laws and rules of this country that had been in place for decades, which prevented the lobbying system from going crazy and made sure dollar bills will ensure a specific vote on an issue as opposed to constituents and their voices. Although I think it was a terrible idea initially, I do think it's at least a more honest approach to how this country works. I mean, lobbyists have been ensuring special interests groups get their way for years in lawmaking. At least now they don't have to hide behind fundraisers and things like that. Their monetary motivations are at the fore-front for all to see. I'm just waiting now for 2013 to roll around and see how the super-pacs have directly affected the lawmaking process when congress goes into session.
SLUG: How do you feel about being part of the metal scene of Utah? If there's anything you'd like to see change in the local scene, what would it be?
Stalemate Flesh: I like the metal scene in Utah. I think there are some very creative bands and some bands that are making a statement. My two favorites are probably IX Zealot and SubRosa. I think they both have a lot of emotion in their music and the talent/musicianship is pretty top notch. Although we're just starting out, we plan on being the number one spoken about band in the metal music scene as soon as possible. The only change I think is necessary is that more people in bands go support local music. It's like you hear people say, "I'm in a band, come see us." But they don't make the time themselves to go out and watch local shows themselves. I think the community should come together more and support each other more. Not just in words, but in actions.
SLUG: What do you think makes your band unique not just to locals, but the metal scene entirely?
Stalemate Flesh: It's not necessarily that we're unique, we're just more extreme. We do have a stage show which involves a lot of blood, my death, jenkem eating and other surprises. It's not like we're trying to reinvent the wheel, we're just trying to make it more extreme and more entertaining. Musically we have the chops. Most "shock-rock" bands have been more about the show and not necessarily the musicianship. With us we see both as being integral and necessary to being successful. Not only that, but outside of Slipknot, there really aren't any bands out there with a real stage show that plays music at a really high level, and I think that helps separate us as well.
SLUG: If there is anything else you'd like to add, consider this question a free-for-all, soapbox or whatever else you'd like to say.
Stalemate Flesh: Yeah. We're debuting at Burt's Tiki Lounge on Monday, March 5th at 8:30. We encourage anyone and everyone to come out who want to see some serious metal with a seriously violent and entertaining stage show. Our mission, our goal as a band, is to be the ones who drive a stake in the heart of the terrible music that is thought to be so heavy and edgy. Nickelback, Black Veil Brides....they have nothing to offer anyone who likes music with any kind of thought behind it. We find it impossible to live in a world where Lady Gaga is the most controversial artist out there. Metal needs a villain, metal needs to reclaim its right as the form of music that upsets the establishment, that provokes thought, and that kicks the world square in the ass. This is our mission, our goal, and we hope all of you will join us.
Exclusive CD Reviews
Cirith Ungol
Servants of Chaos
Metal Blade
Street: 01.31
Cirith Ungol = Deep Purple + Witchfinder General + Rush + Dianno-era Maiden + Hawkwind - all the awesome space rock druggery
Metal nerds likely recognize the name Cirith Ungol from their astringent appearance on the seminal Metal Massacre compilation in 1982. Nerdier nerds likely know them for their swords and sorcery schtick and their Tolkien-ese moniker (apparently it means "Spider Pass" or "infinite virginity" in some Elvish language). Regardless, Cirith Ungol's began their spotty career in the early seventies, tinkering with hard rock before catching a tip on the nascent New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene in the early 1980s. Fusing Tim Baker's bird squawk vocals, a rudimentary rocka-roll edge and a smattering of synth wash, the group set out to establish themselves as key players in the burgeoning American metal re-awakening. So it's in this spirit of obsessive heavy metal nerdery that Servants of Chaos, thirty tracks of material spanning the group's career, must be taken. For starters, Cirith really toes the "hard rock" edge more than the "metal" one, so expect plenty of bluesy caterwauling, especially in early tracks. "I'm Alive" gushes in a stew of its own bravado, hyper-masculine lyrics and a speed freak solo, while "Frost and Fire" and "Eyes" mark themselves definitive Ungol, perfectly straddling squashy-synths and rollicking riffs. "Obsidian" scraps, high on proto-metal mania, "Obsidian" elegantly fuses arcane digital manipulation with ragged analog soul and "Master of the Pit" is a proto-mosher, heavy and plodding, a spiritual predecessor to the mighty Manowar. So Servants of Chaos is certainly not without its gems. The problem here is with saturation and such volume for digestion, it's really hard to enjoy it. The inclusion of various instrumentals ("Darkness Weaves" begs the audial question "why in the Hell did we record this?"), sluggish demos and oddball B-sides ("Secret Agent Man"? Hmmm) dilute the potency and squeeze all the focus out of Servants, rendering large portions of it a flaccid garage jam-session—I know it's a comp, but still. Even so, its primitive charm prevails, a raucous testament to the band's enthusiasm, chops and ability (bravery) to step into occasionally goofball prog territory while keeping a ham-fisted grip on a traditional hard rock blueprint. With all the fluff and chaff, Servants of Chaos is not an essential listen all the way through, but it's a damn good historical document with real bangers. Casual fans need not apply, but nerds and purists are heartily welcome. -Dylan Chadwick
Implicit Obedience
Street: 01.24
Desecravity = Origin + Krisiun + Nile
Do you look for groundbreaking, game-changing music in your death metal? If you do, you better stop. Most of the bands trying to do anything groundbreaking these days sound like a sideshow with a wet spot for prog metal or jazz or whatever other non-metallic style they're trying to toss in with their wank-fest of an album. Yes, Veil of Maya, Born of Osiris, The Faceless and the like, I'm talking to you. What's my point in all this? Check out this debut from Tokyo Japan's Desecravity—it's a great, pure, thoughtful effort towards a cohesive brutal/tech death metal approach. At its core Implicit Obedience is a brutal death metal album more fitting in the modern approach - Origin comes to mind many times while spinning this record but so do many other bands - Hour of Penance, Suffocation, Nile, so on and so forth. Desecravity put forth a good mix of groove with pure speed in mind. There's also a plethora of tempo changes and "techie" math type guitar leads and soloing, which this record would actually be just fine without—they're not bad efforts, just feel out of place and like Desecravity are trying to hard to "stand out." In the end you're going to remember the core brutal death metal of this album, not the off kilt, mathy leads and time stops and all that other technical mumbo jumbo. "Demonize the Old Enemy," is a killer of a cut and the bands best success with the tech styles. The debut here shows some promise, on a good day it's a nice short burst of great guitar playing and a good n' produced brutal death record - on a bad day it's annoying and a tad redundant. Overall Desecravity are worth a look for the modern death metal types. - Bryer Wharton
The Inherited Repression
Nuclear Blast
Street: 2.7.12
Psycroptic = Necrophagist + The Faceless + Spawn of Possession
Coming from the badass land of Tasmania (seriously, that's so fucking metal), the newest effort from Psycroptic is a truly infernal ride of grinding, technical death metal with just the right smattering of melody. This album is incredibly complex and unique. As a listener, you are practically helpless against its drawing power, and this is thanks to the serious dedication of the musicians in their writing process; every last note and beat is in its place. Their sound is technically superior to a huge chunk of their genre, given how many more creative stretches they fit so seamlessly into their songs, every one of which feels like dark and sickness, as if you were sleeping under a blanket you borrowed from the Middle Ages. Vocalist Jason Peppiatt has a confident strength in his gravely monotone, a vocal choice that normally disinterests me, but that fits here like tailored suit. Drummer Dave Haley has some serious speed, as he demonstrates in places like the bridge of "Carries of the Plague". "Becoming The Cult" shows how the band isn't afraid to travel to groovier places. The echoing vocals in "The Sleepers Have Awoken" are one of many unique theatrical-ish touches that contribute to an overall powerful atmosphere on the album. After being assaulted by the two first tracks, "Euphorinasia" is like a breather on the battlefield with its softly building acoustic guitar intro and thrashy drum accents. I'm calling it now: this is bound to be one of the top metal albums of –Megan Kennedy

Boon A burglar can open a trapped item for PCs or search a building for traps. She might break into a house to recover an item for the PCs or break a PC out of jail.
Burglars are prowlers of cities and towns, dancing catlike along rooftops and slipping quietly into homes and shops by night.
Changing Skill Focus (Perception) to Skill Focus (Disable Device) turns a burglar into an expert safecracker, while replacing Deft Hands and Skill Focus (Perception) with Point Blank Shot and Weapon Focus (shortbow) makes a skulking sniper. Replacing Skill Focus (Perception) with Skill Focus (Acrobatics), and changing the quick disable rogue talent to ledge walker or stand up creates a thief-acrobat. Changing a burglar's rogue talent is a good way to customize further.
Burglars usually work alone but will sometimes hire a pickpocket as a lookout (CR 3). A trio of burglars might cooperate to rob a large house or bank, with three street thugs for muscle and a pickpocket lookout (CR 7). A burglar may also work in concert with a barkeep and barmaid (CR 5) to rob patrons' rooms of valuables.

1. Reasons to go see Cirque Du Soleil Guy Laliberte, founder of Cirque du Soleil, has decided to donate $100 million to the One Drop organization over 25 years. This will allow One Drop to continue expanding water projects (Haiti next stop).
2. Prince Albert II of Monaco has also donated to One Drop's project in Honduras as well as many other projects focused on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Water. Some other projects the Prince has focused on are with a $1.5 million grant to the Earth Institute's work on Mali's agriculture techniques to increase crop yields and combat land degradation to helping farmers and their families secure a more stable livelihood while protecting the ecosystems where they live. Mali is one of the Millennium Villages; a Millennium Village is a village that is now below the Millennium Development Goals and is receiving aid to improve their current living situation.
3. Water Watch: Low-Cost Satellite Data for Monthly Irrigation Performance Monitoring in Nilo Coelho, Brazil. Water Watch uses satellite results to monitor performance indicators to evaluate irrigation and drainage projects. They can determine monthly values for real evapotranspiration, biomass production, and soil moisture using the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land. This in combination with other flow data this model can give extensive information on the status of water usage and efficiency of regions. Water Watch also has done this for Idaho and the data is being used by the Idaho's Department of Water. This could be extremely valuable for California's agriculturally efficient development.
4. Leading to my next point SEAL is quantitative, spatially discrete water management information derived from remotely sensed satellite data. They have done some pretty interesting reports on many locations in the US, and one that was completed in 2007 was on Sacramento-san Joaquin Delta in California. The data was used by the California Department of Water Resources to more adequately understand water withdrawal and usage.
5. Interested in Dam's? The WWF released a report titled "Dam Right! An Investors Guide to Dams" which explains the role of dams within communities as well as the politics and economics of constructing dams. Truly interesting report that takes apart the role of investors in dams and how their political agendas influence the total impact of the dam Worth checking out

I believe in journalism. I'm thankful for its truth-telling, spot-lighting potential (see last year's Oscar-winning film Spotlight, for example). But I sometimes fear for its future. As the media landscape continues to morph, what role can real journalism play? Donald Trump becoming president is certainly huge "news," but it's a headline that signals something foreboding rather than electrifying about the state of the news industry. Here's my attempt to make sense of how we got here. 1960s: In 1964, 58% of Americans said that they "got most of their news" from television. The novelty of live televised news, combined with tumultuous global events (especially in 1968) launched the "breaking news" phenomenon, which set the stage for blurred lines between information and entertainment. The agenda-setting power of TV became apparent when the news coverage of the Tet Offensive in 1968 helped turn public opinion against the Vietnam War.
1970s-80s: The commercial reality of broadcast news, in which ratings were crucial and 30 minutes (multiple times a day) had to be filled with "news" (even when nothing of import was happening) inspired all manner of gimmicky segments and the disorienting assemblage of murder + weather + traffic + celebrity news + sports + cute animals with Jack Hannah. See Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985).
1990s: 24-hour news channels gain momentum, and the need to manufacture "news" further inspires infotainment as well as the rise of commentary-as-news and partisan talking head punditry. See also: O.J. Simpson Trial, Court TV, Greta Van Susteren, Fox News, etc.
2000s: The Internet infinitely expands the "channels" and platforms on which "content" is published. This leads to decline in paid newspaper/magazine subscriptions and rise in assumption that news/information should be free. Everyone (from the New York Times to your neighborhood mommy blogger) now competes in the same space for a limited number of eyeballs and clicks in order to survive.
2010s: Most people now receive their news primarily through curated social media newsfeeds and mostly just scan headlines quickly as they scroll the feed. Headlines are thus more important than ever, and yet... To attract clicks and compete in the flattened "feed" space, news outlets must bait readers by purging headlines of nuance, prioritizing only the most extreme, FIRST and hottest take on any timely topic. If all we know of the news is from the headlines we scan, we'll naturally perceive the world to be a deranged place on the path to catastrophe. Furthermore, in the "feed" world, news outlets know they are competing not for everyone but for only those who have opted in and are predisposed to a certain perspective. Thus the headlines that work are the ones that preach loudest to the choir and confirm biases most amusingly.
2016: Now everyone gets different news and different facts and different truth, to the point that all is suspicious and nothing is trustworthy, including the meta/satire/fake news "journalists" who for a time were heralded as Peabody-quality truth-to-power prophets. All of which now gives us Trump. America has just finished a reality TV election and elected a reality TV star as president, a man who has already described picking his cabinet staff in Apprentice gameshow terms ("finalists"). NBC may have lost Billy Bush on account of the Access Hollywood tapes scandal but their alum Trump is taking his "You're Fired!" one-liners all the way to the White House! Surely that bodes well for Saturday Night Live ratings.
The "serious" media were horribly wrong on Trump's odds of winning and painfully unable to understand the who, why, whither and whence of how this happened. Humbled and embarrassed by how out of touch they were, the New York Times publisher repented to readers and said the paper would "rededicate" itself "to report America and the world honestly, without fear or favor, striving always to understand and reflect all political perspectives and life experiences."
The agenda-setting power of media may still exist, but it is weakened by the hyper-fragmented reality of today's narrowcast media landscape. Scores of articles declaring the clear and present danger of a Trump presidency didn't matter in the end because they only set the "agenda" of a small group, already predisposed to dislike Trump. There are thousands of media channels that each set agendas for different audiences, so it's no wonder national public opinion is harder and harder to accurately gauge.
Perhaps sheer exposure and celebrity are the real agenda-setters today. In the end, Trump didn't have to do much more than be famous, talk tough and tweet (He has 4 million more Twitter followers than Hillary Clinton) in order to win. He knows the unfortunate truth that the only bad press today is boring press, as in stories about policy (snooze!) and other low-energy topics (sorry Jeb Bush). While journalists are scandalized that he won't tell them where he is going to eat a steak dinner (UGH, presidents are supposed to keep the press corps in the loop!), Trump has moved on into the ominous new media world, with or without the old guard.

PAst Kemples:
As parents it is very important for us to nurture core values in our children which will guide them through their lives and help them grow into caring, responsible and compassionate human beings. Children learn values mainly by observing their parents' actions and behaviours. At the same time, the world's greatest religions explicitly impart principles and values such as compassion, interconnectedness, responsibility, faithfulness, kindness, generosity, gratefulness, humility, respect, mercy and self-control. Nevertheless a great majority of families does not agree with the religious institutions or does not want to follow one particular religion. For this reason, we created the Kids Temple: Kemple.
The Kemple aims to create a space to transmit core values to our children

For the past year, lawyers from Central Minnesota Regional Legal Services (CMLS) have provided free legal advice and representation to those seeking orders for protection on three days each week at the Hennepin County Family Justice Center. By meeting with domestic violence victims on the day of their court hearing, CMLS attorneys are able to provide vital support that can make a profound difference.
Beginning in March, funding for a full-time attorney position will allow CMLS and the county attorney's office to provide wrap-around services to victims and their families on an expanded basis from the current project. With a lawyer based in the Domestic Abuse Service Center, much more time can be spent at the beginning of the legal process, which according to Lilo Schluender, supervising attorney with CMLS, "…can have a huge impact on whether a victim is going to be believed and get the protection they need."

PODGORICA, Montenegro — A stray bullet struck a passenger jet while it was landing in Montenegro, slightly damaging the aircraft, the state airline said Wednesday.
No one was hurt as the bullet, apparently fired into the air during a traditional Orthodox Christmas Eve celebration, hit the tail stabilizer on the Montenegro Airlines Fokker 100, company spokesman Nenad Markovic said. Police were investigating who fired the shot.
The jet carrying 32 passengers and five crew members on a flight from Ljubljana, Slovenia, landed safely, Markovic said. The bullet hole was discovered during the post-flight inspection.
Montenegrins — who often marking festivities by firing guns into the air — celebrate Christmas on Jan. 7, as do Orthodox Christians in Russia, Serbia, Romania and elsewhere.

Forgive us, O God,

Forgive us, O God,
when we forget what grace looks like.

Take pictures, write a blog, etc. of how you are bringing Jesus to the communities outside the walls of EBPC. Then upload them to Doug in the office (firstname.lastname@example.com) to be included in our weekly e-blast or the EBPC Facebook page with a short description so that we can all have a glimpse of the adventures of your own "Flat Jesus."
EBPC is partnering with First Presbyterian Church of Franklin for Vacation Bible School this summer. It will run Monday, June 20th until Thursday, June 23rd from 9:00 a.m. to noon.

My victory garden is really starting to produce despite the dry, hot weather we've had for the past month or so. And with the recent and predicted continuing daily rainshowers and cooler weather I figure it will really kick up production. I have been picking a hatful of jalapenos every day as well as anchos and banana and bell peppers. I've gotten a few squash and a few tomatoes. And I have eggplant on the way. Today I concocted a southern feast in celebration of the beginning of the harvest.
Roasted yellow squash sandwich:
Cut one large yellow straightneck squash into 1/4 inch thick planks. Spray both sides with butter-flavored cooking spray. Dust the top with dried basil, garlic powder, and black pepper and toast in the oven for about 5-10 minutes. While that is toasting, prepare...
Cherry tomato, Ancho, and Jalapeno Salsa Fresca
Drop a double handful of mostly-ripe cherry tomatoes into a food processor, add 2 whole jalapenos and 2 whole anchos. Sprinkle liberally with garlic, black pepper, dried basil, and dried onion flakes. Add a pinch of salt and a squirt of lime juice. Chop into salsa.
To complete the sandwich, lightly spread mayo on dark toasted multi-grain bread. Layer the squash planks on the toast, top with the salsa fresca, and serve open-faced with two Michelob Ultra Lime Cactus beers.
Yeah baybee!

Life is filled with opportunities, open doors... choices. The keys are in your hands. You decide what is best for you when these opportunities, open doors and choices are presented to you. I know that this is not easy when you have friends, family and life's voices in your head. But, taking the time to listen and ask yourself the hard questions is a show of wisdom. "What do I want?" What will fill me with joy and a since of accomplishment?" "Where do I want to go from here?"
I am not advocating that you do not seek council. However you should the advice that you receive, keep what feel right and toss the rest. When all is said and done, "Your Choices". are yours to make. They will lead you to the next phase in your journey.
The Challenge: Set aside time alone to listen, ponder and explore your vision of where you want to go. Then, make a plan (how will you attain your vision), write the plan in your journal, work your plan one step at a time.

HOME fulfills its mission to make sure equal access to housing for all persons by addressing the nonetheless glaring person instances of housing discrimination. Anderson Shelters which have been mainly used in the suburbs rather than in the city, due to the fact city homes hardly ever had gardens, had been sectional corrugated iron shelters intended for use in the back garden of the home, the shelters have been built into holes in the ground at least one particular meter deep and the earth from the hole was then spread on best of the shelter for extra protection.
Many find out that roommates leave suddenly, which suggests they are left with footing more of the rent bill than they can afford. Other folks have speculated that it is uneconomical to construct heavily insulated houses in Japan due to earthquakes, which require frequent rebuilding. The patients and the vulnerable old age people look out for the ultimate salvation in the type of nursing homes exactly where they can assure that they will be take care of. HOME also requires direct action to aid first-time homebuyers and households with houses below the threat of foreclosure.
Shortly just before the outbreak of WW2 leaflets had been sent out to each household and organization around Britain, informing the population to prepare their houses for enemy bombing raids, the leaflets details on blackout protection, covering windows and doors with either thick black curtains or even painting windows black to avert light from housing getting observed from the air.
Particularly the extra costly camping residences here are normally offered for rent and thus could be attempted out before creating a massive expenditure for a thing like a motorhome or camp trailer. She was receiving three hours of Physical Therapy just about every day to prepare her to go back to her home following she fractured her vertibrae in a fall.
I operate for Scholastic Book Clubs and we are hunting for a compact group of people today to test a new notion in operating on the net book sales to their network of friends and family earning commission on every sale they make. A couple of years just after producing this discovery, I identified a genuine antique foot warming stone at a garage sale and identified that it worked even much better.
To inform you the truth, they are my favorite source of key heat, and (in my opinion) really should be considered as the main heating technique for some new construction, such as trip residences, older homes with no existing central heating technique, mobile residences, or houses in a warm climate. For these of us as well young for nursing properties this must remind us that we ought to program ahead and make positive that we have suitable arrangements created for our care in our later years.

Living without child support can take a financial and emotional toll on Illinois parents. Fortunately, such parents have legal recourse available. For example, a female attorney has filed a lawsuit seeking child support against a judge she says fathered her two children. She claims the two were involved in a relationship for almost two decades, but says that although she has asked him to provide for their children, he has never done so at a reasonable level.
The lawsuit states that over a period of 16 years, the man has given her less than $5,000 to take care of the two children. He also fails to participate in their lives in a meaningful way. The woman is seeking a total of $4.1 million in her lawsuit, including child support, money for neglect and abandonment, and also money for each year she spent in a relationship with him.
The judge accused of fathering her children acknowledges a professional relationship and close friendship with the woman, but claims he only acknowledged paternity of her children in order to ensure that the children could qualify for medical benefits within their county of residence. The Michigan judge's reputation is now in the spotlight because he is a proponent of strong father figures in the home, and has stated publicly that when fathers are absent, it could make young men more likely to commit violence or crime. Should the upcoming hearings determine that he has fathered two children out of wedlock, and subsequently failed to provide for them or participate in their upbringing, he may have a difficult time reconciling that behavior with his frequently uttered and public stance in support of the importance of fathers in raising children.
The woman agonized over the decision, but has finally come forward to seek child support against the man she claims fathered her two children. Illinois parents in a similar situation should know that when children are conceived outside of a traditional family structure, those children have the same rights to support as any others. While the parents can certainly come to an agreement between themselves as to how the children will be supported, in the absence of such a decision the custodial parent has the right to approach the courts and ask for a child support order. Pursuing child support can allow parents the financial means to provide the care and shelter that every child deserves. It can also serve to hold an absent parent at least financially accountable for their decisions in regard to supporting their children.

Call to order: President Johnn Molburg called the meeting to order at 3:10 PM.
Secretary's Report: A motion was made to accept the Secretary's Report from the May 13, 2017 meeting in Denver, Pa., by LuWanna Krause. The Report was sent out through a mass email to all club members. George Chianese seconded the motion. Motion passed.
Treasurer's Report: A motion was made to accept the Treasurer's Report as presented. The checking account balance at this time is $1131.82 and the savings account balance at this time is $6883.48. The motion was made by Mary Wolf and seconded by Chris Jacobs. Motion passed.
A. Constant Contact Fee: Dan Rehak reported that he researched different avenues to find the most cost-effective way to do our online services such as registration for races and events. Constant Contact seems to be in line with other service providers online. He feels we do not need to change to another provider now. He did note that event organizers need to consider these fees in their budgets to help offset the cost.
4. Committee Reports:
A. ISDRA Reports: Johnn Molburg reported for Jessicia Borman that there was not much new on ISDRA. A discussion was held on the new rig requirements for IFSS. IFSS rules stipulate that all carts must be four wheel carts. If ISDRA would adopt this rule it would affect how we run our dryland events. At this time ISDRA has not adopted this rule.
B. Merchandise: Meredith Michner has been working to set up an online PSDC Merchandise Store. When Meredith is finished setting up the store it will be located on our web page. Insa Robinson will be managing the online store and you will be able to place your order electronically.
C. Social Media Coordinator: Dan Rehak is currently working on a job description for this position. Liz Stanaitis volunteered to take on this position. The club will touch base with Liz to see if she is still interested in the position.
D. Website: Jessica Kizmann is doing a great job on our web page. We need to keep in mind that if we want something added to the web page we need to get the information to her, so she can update the web page. All updates are done in a very quick manner.
E. Audit Committee: Donna Quante & Heather Walls volunteered to be on the Audit Committee. Over this past summer they did an Audit of the PSDC Finances. They presented to PSDC General Membership an Audit Report. A copy of the Audit Report has been forwarded to our Treasure, Jessica Borman so she can make the necessary corrections. They reported that all records and documentation are in good order. The Club would like to Thank Heather and Donna for doing a thorough Audit for the club.
5. Old Business:
A. Upcoming PSDC Events
Fair Hill – Ed Schreckner and Lynda Ninos reported December 2-3, 2017 as the race date with an alternate date of December 9-10, 2017. They gave a lineup of classes and Officials and are still working on the purse.
Mount Misery – Jessica Borman and Chris Jacobs reported December 16-17, 2017 as the race date with an alternates dates of January 6-7, 2018 & March 3-4, 2018. They gave a lineup of classes and Officials and along with the $750 from the club they were working on increasing the purse.
Tug Hill- Jan Haring and Jessica Borman reported that the date for this event is February 17-18, 2018. With no alternate date. They pretty much have all the Officials lined up and are working on increasing the purse.
Canyon Sled Dog Challenge- Mary Beth Logue reported she is working on getting all the Officials lined up for this event. This is an 18-mile mini mid distance race. There will be 6 & 8 dog classes with Registered Breed classes for both. There is no alternate date and she also wanted to note there is no access along this trail, any drop dogs will have to be carried in the sled bag. The Wellsboro Chamber of Commerce are helping organize this event. This trails traverses through the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon with beautiful scenery along the way.
Betty Carhart Race- Jessica Borman & Chris Jacobs reported this will no longer be a PSDC event. It was co run with JSSDRA, they will continue to have this race as a fun event.
Spring Meeting- Jessica Borman & Chris Jacobs reported the Spring Meeting is set up for the weekend of May 12, 2018. They are planning on Samoyed dog driver Walt Herrmann as the guest speaker and planning on using the same location as last year. The Comfort Inn in Denver, Pa.
B. Club Equipment – Dan Rehak has set up the new lap top with the software Race works, so that we have a reliable source for timing races and events. Also, the club is looking into getting helmets to use at Tug Hill as the snowmobile laws of NY require helmets to ride snowmobiles out to do trail help.
C. Updates to PSDC bylaws- Dan Rehak and Nancy Molburg will get together to draw up the upgrades to our bylaws. Since we no longer have a newsletter and are using social media for our information sources we need to eliminate the newsletter in our bylaws. This is one of the jobs the Social Media Coordinator will be doing. We may even discuss at some point to change when the election committee will be appointed.
D. Registered Breed Class Review- Dan Rehak currently handles the Registered Breed Class, reviewing dogs listed on musher reports. He reports that all PSDC Races for all classes are offering a Registered Breed Class.
6. New Business:
A. Possible Mt. Laurel Race- Carmen Rose Sent the club information on inquiring about a race location in the Laurel Highlands. The club suggested she put a team together and do a demo type event. He also suggested laying out a 2-4-mile trail to get the feel of what would be needed to support a race. A good time for this to take place woul be in the early spring.
B. Election Committee: Johnn Molburg ask the General Membership for two volunteers to be on the election committee. Offices up for election will be: President, Treasurer, & two Board of Directors. Those Board positions are currently held by Dan Rehak, and Chris Jacobs. The Election Committee would help solicited nominations for those positions and ask those interested to forward a statement to the Secretary, Carolyn McKenrick to post on the web page. They also would help count ballets at the Spring Meeting and Elections. Laurie Stone and George Chianese volunteered for the election committee.
C. For the Good of the Club: Mary Wolf suggested having mileage of more than 2 miles in the canicross class at dryland events. Johnn Molburg suggested contacting event organizers to see if their races could support longer distances in this class. He also suggested putting an article on the facebook page to see how much interest it would draw. Also, Donna Quante said she was contacted by Cordorus State Park about having a race or demo at their winter festival. She will be meeting this coming week with those officials to discuss the needs of the club involving insurance and what type of course they could offer.
8. Adjournment: A motion was made by Mary Wolf to adjourn the meeting at 5:01 PM. Chris Jacobs seconded the motion. Motion passed.

Accessible events for everyone
How to create inclusive meetings and conferences - 10 practical tips
Meetings and conferences are platforms where all kinds of very different people come together to network and exchange know-how. This is only possible if everyone who is interested in taking part is actually also enabled to do so. It is as important for people with physical or cognitive impairments to attend a conference or visit a trade fair as it is for everyone else. However, inclusion is much more than a ramp for wheelchair users at the entrance or disabled toilets.
Inclusive thinking
In fact, inclusion starts earlier with a specific way of thinking: Inclusion means that everyone can be a part of what is happening and benefit from attending, no matter their gender, age, physical or mental abilities, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, education or cultural and religious beliefs. As a company or event planner, you need to be sensitive to the needs of all attendees, including those of people with restricted mobility or sensory impairments. Often little things are enough to enable people to jointly visit an event.
Considering the needs of attendees with disabilities starts as early as in the planning phase when choosing your venue: Are all visitors able to use the same entrance? Do I have an accessible website so that also visually impaired people can independently get information about meeting and conference offers? Can attendees using wheelchairs help themselves from the buffet and sit at tables without any problems?
Ten top inclusivity tips
We have put together ten practical tips of what you should consider when planning inclusive events:
- Let attendees know what you're doing before, during and after the event to achieve more inclusivity so that people with restricted mobility or visual impairments know that they can take part in your event.
- Make sure that your website and invitations are accessible (for more information and tips, please click here).
- Establish beforehand how visitors with physical impairments can get barrier-free access to your event. If necessary, you could organise a shuttle service that is suitable for wheelchair users or a service that accompanies attendees on the way to the train station or bus stop and back. Plus, provide directions for visitors arriving by car, including information about suitable parking spaces and disabled parking close to the entrance.
- Make sure that every attendee can, where ever possible, independently find their way round the event and get the information they need. In this context, pay particular attention to stairs that can create access issues. Also, ensure that the registration counter is accessible.
- When furnishing the catering area, keep an eye on different table heights and make sure to leave at least 1.20 metre between tables with occupied seats.
- It is important for people who are visually impaired that the catering staff can explain what is offered on the buffet. If they have special dietary requirements or diabetes, they also need information on ingredients and additives.
- Did you think of visual as well as acoustic signage for providing important information on site? For example, you need to make sure that every visitor can receive and understand safety and emergency information.
- Reserve space for people with mobility issues at the end of the rows of seats so that they can easily follow talks and presentations.
- Similarly, you should reserve a few places close to the speakers for people with hearing and visual impairments so that they can use their alternative senses to take in what's being said.
- Offer transcribed talks or videos after your event to make information available to everyone.

In Shaun Morey's Incredible Fishing Stories, he recounts the tale of Captain Jim Lewis. While snorkeling in the Bahamas, Captain Lewis noticed the tail section of a small plane peeking out of the water's surface. Or was it? Motoring quickly forward to catch the mysterious landmark, Lewis became enthralled by the sight of a massive hammerhead shark.
Lewis immediately grabbed his mask and jumped into the crystal blue to study this intriguing creature. Longing to bring the shark ashore, Lewis ended up hooking the tiger shark and returning to land. Eventually measured to be 15'6″, the shark was certainly a massive predator atop the food chain (It's even rumored that this shark had nineteen remoras clinging to its striped body!).
While Captain Lewis and most fishermen of his day ultimately fished sharks out of the water, nowadays scientists are examining new ways to manage shark populations carefully while still appreciating old traditions.
One major movement is toward catch-and-release fishing and the use of circle hooks to prevent cartilaginous damage. In 2010, NOAA began partnering with shark fishing tournaments to collect data for different shark populations. When caught, the sharks are often tagged and analyzed by NOAA scientists. Some tournaments, like the Shark's Eye Tournament in Montauk, NY, are even designed as fishing tournaments devoted to saving sharks. Data collected can give NOAA insight into population changes, migrations and critical habitats–all information crucial in determining the most effective method for protecting a species. In this win-win situation, sharks, fishermen, scientists and legislators can coexist happily.

The Upside of Indie Writing
There are serious reasons to be an indie writer, and not so serious ones.
This is a look at a few of both.
1. No Alarm Clocks. I live on a small farm so I still get up early, but almost never to the blare of an alarm clock. Usually I get up to the morning sun coming in the bedroom window or the sound of chickens clucking to be fed. On those rare occasions when I must get up early for a flight or other trip, I struggle to remember how to set the fancy alarm clock by my bed.
2. My Three-Step Commute. Auto insurance agents always ask, "How long is your commute?" I love explaining my morning trip to them. The door-to-door commute from my bedroom to my office is three steps. However, I usually take a fourteen-step detour to the dining room for breakfast.
3. Casual Days. I wear slippers to the office because every day is casual Friday. If I wake with a great story idea I might start the day working in my robe. No one complains about my beard and I can go days without trimming it or shaving.
4. The Daily Schedule. I still have busy days and enough appointments that I keep a synched schedule on all my electronic devices, but it is MY schedule. If an old friend calls or my wife wants to go out for lunch, things get moved around. My time is my time, and the schedule is always clear for Seattle Seahawk games.
5. It's My Company. I probably work more hours than I ever did for an employer and I still have deadlines, but now every book I write, every promotion, conference or blogpost is part of building my company and my future.
There are downsides to being a writer, and even more so to being an indie writer. We'll talk about those in future posts but, for me, I can't imagine doing anything else.

U.S. stocks are closing mixed after flitting all day between tiny gains and losses. The Dow Jones industrial average is closing down 10 points to 13,165, a move of just 0.08 percent.
Moves in other indexes were also incremental. The Standard & Poor's 500 rose about half a point to close at 1,403. The Nasdaq composite rose seven to 3,019.
Volume was 3 billion shares, well below the recent average. On the New York Stock Exchange, slightly more stocks rose than fell.
The U.S. reported that its trade deficit fell to the lowest level in 18 months. But China, which has been a major driver of the world economy, showed its own signs of slowing down. It reported lower growth in auto sales and factory output.

Plateau Pediatrics Achieves Medical Home Certification/
Plateau Pediatrics has been recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a Patient Centered Medical Home. This program measures a practice's ability to provide systematic, comprehensive, patient-centered quality care for its community. We were delighted to achieve the highest level of recognition, making us the second pediatric practice in Tennessee to be recognized, and the first Level 3 practice in Tennessee.
The American Academy of Pediatrics believes that the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents ideally should be accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective. It should be delivered or directed by well-trained physicians who provide primary care and help to manage and facilitate essentially all aspects of pediatric care. These characteristics define the "medical home."
