Care Homes Reading Project
The Care Homes Reading Project began in the English Department at the University of Exeter and quickly became one of the University's most successful student volunteer initiatives. In 2015 the project was named a Point of Light by Prime Minister David Cameron. Students who volunteer with the project are trained and sent out to a large number of care homes across Exeter, visiting residents regularly, reading poetry, plays and short stories, and simply spending time chatting. This enables students to develop excellent interpersonal and communication skills, as well as an understanding of how their studies can be applied outside of University.
You can find out more about this project on the official website.

Great game for occasional playing. Well implemented with nice graphics and smooth animations. Would be more interesting with online opponents. Default language seems to be Arabic which was slightly confusing at first.

Sesame Street Lied To Me
I'm not sure what is happening in the mainstream news media but I'm treating it like the mentally ill psychotic neighbor that people avoid making eye contact with when they check the mailbox. Oh, you don't have one of those? Yeah you do. Everyone does. That's the scary part.
Do you ever catch yourself doing that thing where you disassociate from your surroundings and just kind of look at everything and think, "I gotta get out of here." If you are reading MY blog, this has happened to you. If you are reading a blog about the going's on of "The Bachelor," you have no idea what I'm talking about.
This feeling has happened to me countless times. I'd wager at least 100,000 times I've thought, "oh my GAWD this is real. I gotta find a way out of this place."
Quick/not quick story...
Do you remember your first memory? I do. I remember looking down at myself before I could talk and thinking, "Are you kidding me? I'm a human? A girl too? No! Why can't I fly?!! I take it back, I take it back. I don't want to do this mission. You guys were right, this isn't going to be easy at all."
The other memory I have was standing at the top of the stairs and seeing my Grandmother's sister down below. She had come to visit us from San Fran. I remember my Grandma saying, "Melodee Lei, you better be careful. Wait there. I'm going to come up and bring you down." I looked at her and thought, "Um... I'm pretty sure I can fly." Nope. Crash. Boom. Bang. Next thing I know, my Grandmother had convinced my Mom that we needed to move out of that house before I, "kill myself on those stairs."
I remember watching television shows like "Sesame Street," and thinking, "okay, I need to learn how to do things in this body." The episode was the famous one where the little African American girl is in Brooklyn or wherever, and she had a grocery list that her mother gave her to fetch certain items from the store down the block. (side note: this was perfectly normal in the 1970's and 80's)
The little girl made a rhythmic kind of mantra as she walked to the store, "A loaf of bread, eggs, and a jug of milk." (repeat with some drums in the back)
The kid gets to the crosswalk and looks both ways and then crosses the street... Resumes her chant of the grocery list and arrives at the store to purchase the items on the list.
In retrospect, I'm wondering why she spoke the list if she had it in her hand the whole time? I don't know. These are questions for scholars, not me.
There was a corner store close to my Grandma's house which was kind of the Barrio area of Dallas County. The store was next to the laundry mat where my Grandmother washed clothes. I loved that place for some reason. Weird. I digress...
One day my Grandmother went to pick up one of her many grandkids from school or to take my cousin to work which was just about a mile away. I was about 4 years oldish. I was VERY small for my age. I looked like a 2 year old when I was 4.
I watched the episode of Sesame Street I mentioned above. I consciously thought, "okay, let's try this out. Can't be hard. I have some money in my bag, I'll go to the store and buy those things." (I had a fist full of pennies in my Snoopy coin purse)
I walked outside and headed to 5th Street. (a major thoroughfare) Looked both ways. Clear. Proceed.
Repeating the mantra, "Eggs, bread, a jug of milk," I can remember being very impressed with myself. Cars were passing me and looking concerned. I made it all the way to the store. NOT the store by the house, but a store that was at least 3 streets over. I crossed A LOT of streets. I remember looking up and seeing my cousin's boyfriend on his motorcycle. He stopped and said, "Melodee? What are you doing? Your Grandmother is going to have a heart attack! I'm taking you home."
I was like, "I'm getting a jug of milk, eggs, and a loaf of bread." He completely ignored me and just frantically put me on his MOTORCYCLE and took me home. My entire family was out on the lawn FREAKING OUT. Luckily my Dad wasn't there because I wouldn't be alive to tell the tale.
My Grandmother never hit anyone, but that day... I was smacked pretty hard. I had no idea what I had done wrong. I remember thinking, "if they let kids watch something that demonstrates going to the store alone, then there's a bigger problem with the society I'm living in."
I really thought that. I couldn't say that in English but I thought that in my mind and couldn't effectively communicate it. All I could say really was, "Sesame Street did it," and "I helping with milk, bread and egg store."
This was HIGHLY upsetting to everyone.
It was the first feeling of failure I had in my life. Little did I know that similar thoughts would happen for the next 34 years.
So... the point of this blog, if there is one, which there rarely is...
This human thing is not for the weak. I think the term, "I'm only human," might be the most honest statement ever made in history. We all had clarity when we were kids. All of us.
Even the person who is watching, "The Bachelor," and is deeply concerned with the outcome... that person was once a super tuned-in soul.
So where did we go wrong?
I believe we came into this world very clear and then the water became muddied and murky and slightly stinky. It's mixed messages, don't do this, do that, be this way, think like I think, that's not real, that's real... that's silly, that's acceptable. It's no wonder kids hate school. It is completely counter to the natural learning process.
At the age of 5, ( or sometimes younger if you are one of those over achiever kids that was pushed academically by your lunatic parents) you are told to forgo anything you think you know, and accept what "WE" know.
This is why everyone is so bat shit crazy deep down. I can only imagine if other civilizations in outer space are observing this tiny blue planet, how they must scratch their heads in total amazement. I've often thought of these magnificent people that have come into our civilization out of seemingly nowhere, (ex. Christ, Nikola Tesla, Einstein, Buddha, Mohammed, Mother Theresa, Elijah, Moses, MLKjr., Gandhi) were sent because it was just flat out impossible for the Creator Realm and other Solar system civilizations to know how to help?
Humor me...
Imagine an infinitely huge network of extremely loving and high intelligence cultures in the universe calling one another on their space phones and saying,
"So... the Earth thing... crazy huh? I'm not sure why God is so stuck on that place? I mean, we did alright? What's their flippin' problem? No, it kind of pisses me off too. I mean, God is all obsessed over helping them, but what did we get? I know, I know Steven, I'm being really negative, I know... it's these Earth stories... I'm reading the reports and it's just unbelievable. I'm not sure I want to do that mission anymore. What if I get stuck there? I mean, Steven.. can you imagine being stuck there?
Oh my God. I know...horrible. Well, I've got a bunch of really great stuff I'm bringing down there but the Big Guy is telling me that I have to forget what I know and truly embrace being a human.... I'm like, God, "what is all the training for if I just have to forget it and learn how to poop or whatever... it sounds kind of sketchy to me...
well, if the Big Guy ordered it, I guess He knows what's up.... I don't know Steven. Pray for me. M'kay... bye. Oh, and make sure to feed my Guinea pig while I'm gone. Do they have Guinea pigs there? Oh no way... Who left one there? Never mind... I don't want to know. Okay I'll see you on the other side."
And then your born and you scream, crap all over the place, and realize you are STARVING.
And so it begins.
When it's over, and you've mashed enough transient crap into your mind, you return for debriefing.
And that might go something like this....
"Welcome back! So, let's hear all about it. What did you find out?"
And your like vomiting and crying... barely able to speak...
"Oh God. No, really God... I need to speak to God. Steven, piss off dude, I have to talk to the Big Guy. Seriously. You. Have. No. Idea!"
"I don't know what I learned because it was just so confusing the whole time. They have things called Allergies. Their biological organic beings attack their breathing apparatus... They have this green paper stuff that you get things with- instead of just getting what you need- which is what Everyone needs... but you have to do something you really hate doing for like... oh my God... for like- Years!
And and and... then you finally get a few things that you thought you needed, only to find out that you didn't need them at all...They lie all the time.
They lie about what they like, what they don't like, and even who they are? But you can't really remember what you are, it's freakin weird man... Anyway... then you love other people and their contract ends super fast and you cry and feel like your heart organ is going to explode with grief... Then for some stupid reason you wake up and continue living?
Animals that are your friends are contracted for like hardly any time at all... they leave... and then you cry more and then you want to end your contract but you go back to sleep, wake up and continue living again? It's so bizarre. It's like running into a fire over and over again because you need warmth but you know it will kill you, but you REALLY hate to be cold.
It's so hard. Listen to me.... listen.... they need help.
They are starting to figure out that it shouldn't be the way it is there, and some of them are really trying to make a difference but there are these horrible evil people that wear suits or carry weapons n' stuff, and those people are holding everyone hostage because they are contracted by the Big Guy's super shitty ex-best friend.
These humans are totally caught in the middle of that whole thing! They do have really great books there, beautiful art and this thing called Jazz... it would blow your mind. Did you know you can't fly? No. You can't. I mean, you can, but it's like in this weird metallic clunky thing that is super slow, horrible design, just stupid frankly. Look, we gotta help them.
Here's what Steven, I saw some of OUR craft in the sky and you know what the suits do? You won't believe it. They tell the humans that they are crazy if they talk about what they actually saw! I know. I know. But here's the thing Steven, the humans actually do what they are told? They are totally ready to break out of there but there are like a handful of these evil assholes that are tricking them all into thinking there's nothing else out there. I know it's ridiculous but I'm just telling you what I know...
What do you mean do I want to go back for another mission? Are you crazy? Look, I don't know... I'll think about it. Okay fine. Okay, okay, okay... yeah, I guess I will. But this time, I'm going to make sure I remember some things so that I don't completely lose my mind. Hey... will you guys check in with me once in a while through the Dream Machine? Cool. Hey... pull me out if it looks like I might get stuck there."
....then you watch Sesame Street and go to the store to buy a loaf of bread, some eggs and a jug of milk.

This is the shortest post ever. We dropped off the boxes at Cargo Zone in Montreal today, and they will be shipped tomorrow by Air Labrador to Labrador, then to Goose Bay and Natuashish respectively. Turns out we had 82 pounds, not the original 60 we had planned, and Air Labrador and the groovy Morris agreed to up our weight quota.
Here's a picture of me and The Boy weighing the shipment in Montreal, and a shot of the warehouse with the boxed items wayyy up high.
So we've still got Mongolia to work on - thanks for everything and keep on knitting!

Sustainability is considered one of the main challenges for todays manufacturing industry, and to face this challenge demands both new technology and bold investements. But is it reasonable to assume that business managers will make these investments if they are not profitable? And does it pay off at all, to invest in sustainability?
Two recent studies within SISVI gives a clear yes to that question. The studies are based on a representative selection of norwegian manufacturing industry businesses, and show that adopting a sustainability strategy, where the companies takes on a bigger environmental and social responsibility than imposed by regulations, is a profitable strategy which results in higher sales growth and higher returns in the long term.
Professor Arild Aspelund and Dr. Nicolai S. Løvdal presents their findings in this article, published in Dagens Næringsliv lørdag 07. Mai 2016.
You can also read more about the findings on this blog.
The underlying studies can be accessed by request, by contacting author Arild Aspelund. Mail: email@example.com

How to Get the Greatest Marketing Return on Investment Available
In real estate, it's ALL about the numbers. After repair value (ARV), renovation budget, purchase price, days on market, cost of money, Realtor commission, and the list goes on. You get the point.

Besides your "deal analyzer" numbers, you also have your "marketing" numbers. Particularly, what kind of return are you getting by spending money on the various forms of marketing?
Although I have no statistical data to back up my claim, I would argue that for cost/effectiveness ratio, sending a simple card is a great way to get a big bang for your buck! For clarification's sake, I'm not referring to this method in regards to finding deals, but rather to build relationships with existing customers.
In my model, I have a portfolio of land contract homes (owner financing, contract for deed, installment sale – all other names used for the type of transaction). It is essentially a rental portfolio; however, it is much more hands off since they are responsible for repairs and any other issues with the home. On this same note though, I "am" still involved in the sense that I am the bank holding the debt, so I do care about my asset (the property).
Whether you're "the bank" (owner financed home) or "the landlord", in my opinion, you can save yourself lots of headaches and hassles by building a relationship with your customers (remember, that is what they are!!!). In the event something goes bad (loss of job, divorce, unexpected medical bills, etc.), the "process" to gaining back your property can go much smoother depending on their "view" towards you.
Think about it. What do people's mindset default to when they hear "banks". Nothing good from what I've seen on the news or through simple observations. They're greedy. They only care about themselves. It's all about the money to them! With that sort of mindset, is it that surprising that when times get rough, people really don't care if they're making the bank's life difficult? Is it surprising that you see homes get trashed out of pure spite? I'm not saying it is right, but when people feel like just a "number" instead of a "customer", I can see how it happens.
What is a simple yet effective way to show people that you do care about them and that they're NOT just a "number" to you?
Here's a method I use…
Disclaimer: You can't be "fake" about it. Meaning, you do 'actually' have to sincerely care about your customers and learn a few things about them. If you do this stuff just for the sake of doing it, it won't come off very well.
The Card
I had these made at VistaPrint.com for a very cheap price (bought 100 of them for bulk pricing), but there are numerous places on the web that create these marketing pieces. You can see it is very simple. My logo, company name and slogan.
Do I think you need 'official' cards like this to be effective? I do!
Why? Because remember, while you are trying to build a relationship, you also want to come across as professional at the same time. It's a delicate balance, but you don't want to come across as a friend they can walk all over. You want them to know you care about them as a customer, but at the end of the day, you are still a professional business.
The Message
(click picture to make larger)
The first thing to point out is it is HAND WRITTEN. Sending anything with printing just takes away from the 'personal touch'.
I always use blue pen. Not sure this makes any difference, but that's what I go with.
That's not my had writing either. It's my wife's. If you have terrible hand writing (like me), find someone who can write coherent words!
Keep the message short and to the point. In this case, it was the customer's one year anniversary since buying her home from us on land contract.
The "P.S." is probably the most important part. As I mentioned above, "this" is why you have to actually care about the customer in the first place in order to learn some things about them. In this case, during the purchasing process the buyer had noted how much she enjoyed landscaping and couldn't wait to get the yard all fixed up. With that in mind, as you can see, our "P.S." was simply, Hope you're enjoying the landscaping 🙂 By doing this, it shows that she is NOT just a "number" but rather someone who we remember in particular.
The Envelope
I didn't want to include a picture of this as I figured it probably isn't in our customer's favor to have her name and address published on the internet, ya know? Like the message, make sure you HAND WRITE the person's address. I also include a professional looking return address label (again, we need to be mindful of that delicate balance). No prepaid things either! Use a good ol' fashioned stamp! Show them that you took the time to peel and stick that stamp yourself. The envelope is nothing fancy, but it does let the customer know it wasn't simply printed out in bulk with a thousand other people's letter.

What is Included in a Go to Market Strategy
Go to Market Strategy centers around how a company will go to market. Specifically, there are key questions that need to be addressed:
Who Will We Sell To?
This question is rather complex, but in a nutshell, the go to market strategy needs to document the target markets and who (roles and titles) in those markets will we target. It is important to size the market opportunity and to develop a Target Account Profile (detailed description that sales and marketing craft, together, that serves to identify that target audience.
What Will We Sell?
This question is raised in any go to market strategy planning process and is best addressed from a product management and product marketing perspective. A product, at least a minimum viable product should exist. Ideally, a market backgrounder (MB), market requirements document (MRD), product requirements document (PRD), feature requirements document (FRD) and product introduction plan (PIP) should exist. This content needs to be incorporated into the product roadmap and the time horizon typically spans 4 – 8 quarters.
What Will We Charge For the Product?
Again, there should be existing information from the market backgrounder and product introduction plan as to the value, competitive environment and internal financial requirements. The go-to-market strategy is dependent upon real, accurate and compelling use cases that have be updated throughout the product development process and serve as a framework for establishing a pricing framework.
How Will We Promote Our Products?
A lynchpin in any go to market strategy will be the demand generation and lead management plan. The market penetration strategy will be dependent upon understanding the buyer behavior model, building an accurate target account profile, creating meaningful content to support the journey board, employing the correct demand creation strategy and a comprehensive, methodical and timely lead management process will be critical for successful promotion.
Leverage a proven go to market strategy template to build your go to market plan.

Dental Bridge An Overview
Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth. A bridge can be successfully used to replace a single missing tooth but is commonly used to replace consecutively missing teeth. Also known as a partial fixed denture, the dental bridge is one treatment option Oakton Dental Center offers for lost or missing teeth.
Replacing missing teeth is necessary to prevent further deterioration of the jaw, gums and surrounding teeth. Missing teeth can lead to bone recession, gum disease, and further tooth loss.
A dental bridge can be used to help support a stable oral foundation and to restore the aesthetics of the smile.
A dental bridge will require healthy adjacent teeth to act as supporting anchors. A substantial amount of tooth material will be removed from the neighboring teeth to make room for the bridge.
Oakton, VA dentist Dr. Ahrabi will often recommend combining dental implant technology with the traditional dental bridge to avoid using otherwise healthy teeth to secure a bridge.

|Em takes a driving selfie
I spent most of my summer traveling, so the easiest way to describe my literary garden adventures is to give a state-by-state breakdown.
In July, I was invited to speak at the Teaching Vonnegut Workshop at the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library in Indianapolis. Dr. Melissa Talhelm of Southern Connecticut State University was able to join me, and together we discussed the ways that the Literary Garden enhances the content of Vonnegut's works, connects strongly to his family history, and is providing interdisciplinary opportunities with colleagues in art, science, drama, and the iCenter. I met authors Tim O'Brien and Dan Wakefield, both of whom agreed to provide plants for the garden. I also met Dr. Jon Eller of the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies; he is working with me to provide a plant from Bradbury's childhood home in Illinois. Finally, Melissa and I even managed to snag a plant from the home where John Green wrote The Fault in Our Stars. Talk about a windfall! Many thanks to Julia Whitehead, Max Goller, and the rest of the folks at the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library for their generosity, goodwill, kindness, and inspiration. I'm proud to be a member of their karass.

In Rochester, New York, we were delighted to meet librarian site supervisor Erin Clarke at the newly named Frederick Douglass Library. Justin Murphy of the Democrat & Chronicle writes:
More than 140 years after Frederick Douglass' South Avenue house burned to the ground in an apparent arson, the distinguished Rochesterian has been honored with a new home on the same spot.The former Highland Branch Library at 971 South Ave. was formally renamed the Frederick Douglass Community Library Monday morning at a ceremony led by Mayor Lovely Warren.The plot where the library now stands was mostly farmland in 1852, when Douglass and his family moved there from their home on Alexander Street. Douglass was one of the most prominent abolitionists in the country, so it was fitting that his house was a well known stop on the Underground Railroad.
Erin explained that the site, which connects to a community center and a school, were all part of a parcel of land that Douglass and his family owned. It's difficult to pinpoint the exact spot where his house stood, and a survey of the grounds for a suitable plant proved to be fruitless given the plethora of poison ivy that snaked along the grounds. However, the beautiful old trees that line the lot may need to be looked at by a specialist to determine their age; their size alone convinced me some of them could have dated back to Douglass's time.
In any case, Erin was a font of information and an enthusiastic supporter of our garden. The library would also like to create a Victorian garden that would feature plants that Douglass and his family would have grown, and they would also like to work with us to connect our students to their younger patrons. It's so exciting to have the potential for these kinds of collaborations around the country.
We are also working with Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester. The cemetery has important links to American literary history, as Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony are both buried there. And, in a nod to Vonnegut, Joe Crone, his fellow soldier who inspired the character of Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse-Five, is also interred there. It is only fitting that we work with the cemetery to obtain plants or flowers to place in our literary garden to honor these significant literary and historical figures.
We headed to Walden Pond, of course! Emily had never seen it!
We are working with American Heritage Trees to purchase a red maple tree from Walden, as they work with The Walden Woods Project to sustainably propagate historic trees of national importance. I cannot praise both of these fine organizations enough, and if you are looking for a literary tree of your own, I would urge you to contact and support American Heritage Trees and the work they are doing.
We visited the site of Thoreau's original cabin, which is now marked with a pile of rocks,
a sign bearing some of his most famous words from Walden, and site markers that clearly delineate the size of the cabin. It's clear Thoreau would be a big fan of today's tiny house movement!
We also stopped in Concord to visit my friend Tom Beardsley at The Old Manse. Last fall, Tom and Susan Adam donated at least a dozen plants from the Old Manse to our Literary Garden. I wanted to stop by and let him know how well the plants were doing.
Tom was delighted by our surprise visit and even more impressed by my picture of the corn. If you scroll below, you'll see the bloody butcher corn in the Literary Garden and the same corn at the Old Manse taken just days apart:
Tom's generous donations - which are tied to three key American Transcendentalists: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau - formed the foundation of the Literary Garden and are absolutely integral to the teaching of the garden in American literature classes. Thank you, Tom, for recognizing the importance of bringing a sense of the authors' landscape to the students of West Bloomfield High School! I know the garden started to make sense for my students this past year when they read Hawthorne's "Buds and Bird-Voices" on Tom's recommendation and were able to see, touch, and smell the very same lilac bush that had inspired Hawthorne himself.
Here's to you, Tom, and to all of the wonderful partnerships that I have made through my work on the Literary Garden in the last year!
Please stay tuned for Part II of "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" for more news on Mark Twain, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Walt Whitman, and Ernest Hemingway!

As you all know we have Monster High
mania in The Dollhouse.
It is not only the girls either.
Daddy and Mighty M
are getting into the ghoul groove.
My hubby called me one night from target.
Letting me know that he saw Monster High
photo cards and he wanted to know if he should
get some for Miss Blue.
Of course I said "YES!"
I was expecting him to come home with a pack or two.
He came home with a box only missing a few packs.
That was only the start though.
Soon Daddy was driving from Target
to Target on the hunt for more
Monster High photo cards.
All 4 of our local Targets.
It is his mission to get as many as he can!
Nana even joined in the hunt.
All 4 of our local Targets.
It is his mission to get as many as he can!
Nana even joined in the hunt.
Watch Teh Dollhouse Girls review.
Now the goal is to get the whole set of 108.
Keeping doubles of the ones we really like.
Cause yes there are a few that I want to have.
I am a little bummed though that
the photo album and starter packs
were not released in the US.
And it is almost impossible to get your hands on one now.
I spent a few hours looking all over
the cyberworld trying to find one.
Sold out everywhere and the one
place I did find that had them only
ships to England.
Anyone in England want to send us one?
If it only were that easy.
Now that Miss Blue has about 80 of the cards.
She has been getting doubles more and more.
We decided to put them on Listia.
Then the credits she makes with them,
she can use to get whatever she wants.
I am doing them in sets of two.
And will continue to put the doubles up.
This is a way to get them for free!
Not a Listia member yet, go join!
I also scored Mighty M his first
Monster High doll yesterday on Listia.
It is a original Deuce Gordon rag doll plush.
Since he is too young for a regular
Monster High doll this is going to be perfect for him.
But shhhhhhh don't tell him it is a surprise.
We also have a Monster high item not sold
in the states coming in for next weeks

The largest city situated on the largest bay in the state of Victoria, Melbourne is a gem of a destination. Sometimes referred to as an inland sea, this thriving city offers watercraft fun for everyone no matter his or her vessel. Nearby destinations include Queenscliff, Portarlington, Geelong, Williamstown, and Martha Cove for those with the intent of a longer cruise. Numerous rivers and estuaries that meet Port Phillip provide alternatives to open water and make great day trips. The innumerable docks, piers, beaches, marinas, and inlets allow every boater to find a perfect place to anchor and relax.

Though the sand bars must be navigated with care and paper charts are recommended, the Great Sandy Straight is a wonderful body of water to explore with an infinite amount of caves, inlets, and anchorages from which to launch an adventure.
The Whitsunday Islands, Queensland
Made up of 150 islands located off the coast of Queensland, the Whitsundays make for a great secluded vacation spot. Most of the islands are national parks and remain uninhabited while the amenities and necessities of small towns and resorts can be found on only seven of the islands. Whitehaven Beach offers miles of white, sand and pristine water perfect for relaxation. The neighboring Airlie Beach on the mainland will keep vacationers entertained with numerous clubs, bars, shopping centers, cafés, and affordable restaurants.

Work on this theme is more or less complete.
With the nice collapsable sidebar scripts I have added few groups showing links and static pages. The sidebar is still of reasonable length because only 1 group is open at any one time.
I don't know how many themes I have used since I moved to WordPress last September I hope to keep this one longer. The only thing I would probably do is add a header image or do a few other color schemes when I have the time.

"I want our kids to compete in everything they do – both in the classroom and on the field – and to embrace the idea that the pursuit of excellence requires an everyday commitment in all that they do."
The Quakers were one of three Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) programs to earn the ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award for 2017-18. Earlham was joined on the list by Anderson University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
Earlham Baseball finished its 2018 campaign with a 23-14 overall mark, posting 20-or-more wins for the fifth-straight season. The Quakers, who went 7-10 in their HCAC slate, placed four on the All-HCAC teams: Second Team honorees Walter Talcott (P), Danny Dopp (1B), and Addison Robertson (DH), along with Honorable Mention selection Dre Davis (IF).

April 10, 2013
A wildfire in southern Albemarle County has been completely contained, but the Virginia Department of Forestry is continuing to monitor some hot spots and is prepared to tackle anything else that may pop up.
The fire on Spring Valley Road scored 50 acres on Tuesday.
"We saw fairly extreme fire activity, especially when the wind got behind it, and it was climbing the hills," said David Powell, a senior area forester with the forestry department. "So at times, the fire was advancing very rapidly."
Conditions are prime for brush and wildfires in central Virginia, which is why the forestry department is continuing to watch key areas.
"There's extreme burning conditions like we're seeing today and tomorrow, I guess, until the storm front gets here," Powell said.
The high temperatures, wind and humidity all contributed to the spread of Tuesday's fire. Crews had to trek through steep and rocky terrain to keep the fire from hitting any nearby houses. The next day, the work continues so the fire lines hold up.
"We're mainly cutting down trees that have dead branches in them that have caught fire, putting those on the ground so we don't have aerial ignitions that could potentially blow a spark and cross the fire line and create an uncontained part of the fire," Powell said.
The cause of this particular fire is likely a tree that fell on a power line. Forestry officials say trees that have recently fallen down, like those after recent snowstorms, could serve as fuel for future fires -- all depending on the weather conditions.
"This afternoon could be another good chance for fires to ignite and spread rapidly," Powell said.
Despite how charred and dark the grass on Spring Valley Road became Tuesday, it should only take a good rainfall or two to restore the charred land.

I feel so, so sad and sick to my stomach over the story of the Kim family. James Kim was found deceased a couple of hours ago, and it is a tragic ending to the search to find him. His family was rescued from the car they were stranded in, found by helicopter two days ago, but James had already left to search for help.
It is sad, and heartbreaking, and I can't help putting myself there, being in the car saying goodbye to my husband. How tragic.
I am praying for his family today, breathing sad prayers that God would sustain them.

Golden Gate Bridge tests new toll system
GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE Tests begin that will end era of handing cash to humans
The future will arrive, under the cover of darkness, at the Golden Gate Bridge on Wednesday morning, though drivers probably won't notice anything unusual other than a preponderance of TV trucks.
At about 5 a.m., the bridge district plans to switch on its new all-electronic toll-collection system, which will eliminate toll collectors when it's fully implemented in March. For now, though, toll takers will coexist with the high-tech equipment as the Golden Gate tests the state's first human-free, cash-free toll-taking operation on a bridge.
"This is getting real," said Mary Currie, spokeswoman for the bridge district. "This is a big milestone in the bridge's history, and we're 60 days away from it becoming reality."
Drivers shouldn't notice anything different for the next couple of months, Currie said, except that motorists who blow through the FasTrak lane without a transponder will receive a toll invoice instead of a citation. But toll collectors will still staff the toll booths during the test period.
When the toll collectors vanish in March, tolls will be collected via FasTrak transponders or a video system that captures the license plates of cars that pass through the toll plaza. Drivers will then have the option of setting up license plate accounts or making one-time payments online or at kiosks in retail stores around the Bay Area. Those who don't take advantage of any of those options - confused tourists, for instance - will be mailed invoices instead of citations and fines.
"So when they return home to Texas or Kansas, they'll have an invoice," Currie said. "It's a gentler approach to collecting tolls."
Except, of course, for the 28 toll collectors who will be replaced by technology. About half of them have either been placed in other jobs at the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, or voluntarily resigned. The district is still trying to find places for the remaining 14, who will be given severance packages if they're not placed in other jobs, Currie said.
"The downside is that this is the end of their careers for the toll collectors," she said.
The upside, and the reason the district's directors voted for the automated system in 2011, is to save money. Although the system will cost $3.2 million to install and test, it is expected to save $19 million over the next eight years and help chip away at the district's projected $89 million five-year budget shortfall.
During the next two months, bridge employees and tolling technicians will help test the system by driving through the toll plaza with different types of accounts. The cash-payment network isn't expected to begin operation until late February, when the district will begin the final push toward going all electronic.
"We've got to test all these things in a live environment and make sure it's all working," said Currie. "We're anticipating that it's going to go well."
Toll options
Drivers don't need to make any changes yet, but anyone who wants to open a license plate account or try the new one-time payment system can get instructions at goldengate.org/tolls.

With an attention-getting sound that's equal parts electro-funk and yacht rock, Patrick Gemayel and David Macklovitch are fulfilling a destiny that was set in motion when they were just 15.
The masterminds behind the Montreal-based Chromeo subsequently began making a name for themselves in 2004, remixing singles for Australia's Cut Copy and later fellow Canadian Feist, back before most of us had even heard of those artists.
But the duo — whose bio jokingly refers to Chromeo as "the only successful Arab/Jewish partnership since the dawn of human culture" — really started making waves with their 2007 sophomore album, Fancy Footwork. Employing the less unwieldy stage names P-Thugg and Dave 1, they indulged their love for '80s music with an unabashed enthusiasm that's become increasingly contagious.
Revering the "blue-eyed soul" artists who dominated the decade's charts, Chromeo recently got a chance to work with the blonder half of Hall & Oates, jamming with the singer on his Daryl's House webcast and then performing with him again at this summer's Bonnaroo Festival.
Old school ties
Gemayel is quick to rattle off a nonstop laundry list of the Hall & Oates hits he first heard on his father's car radio: "Kiss on My List," "Family Man," "Method of Modern Love," "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)," "Rich Girl," "Maneater." But it was actually through hip-hop that he was introduced to most of his other yacht-rock heroes.
"I grew up with hip-hop during the first part of my life, and that's really where you learn about older music," he says. "You get curious at some point, and you want to know where all the samples come from. Like Warren G coming out with a Michael McDonald sample in the mid-'90s, and you're wondering, 'Who really wrote that song?' And then you find out about Michael McDonald's 'I Keep Forgetting,' and you're like, 'Whoa, this is heavy stuff!'"
Of course, not everyone may think of the soft-rock icon's music as heavy stuff, but Gemayel did have the benefit of hearing it outside the context of the more regrettable easy-listening exercises of Kenny Loggins and Christopher Cross.
"I was born in Lebanon and I moved here in the mid-'80s, so I kind of missed all of it," says Gemayel, who has gone on to amass a collection of 6,000 meticulously alphabetized vinyl records. "You know, nobody was listening to Michael McDonald in Lebanon."
Chromeo's third album, Business Casual, is scheduled for mid-September release. If its two pre-release tracks are any indication — and Gemayel says they are — the group's talent for creating melodic hooks and infectious rhythms has become all the more sophisticated. The videos are also pretty brilliant, from the roving eyeballs that float through "Don't Turn the Lights On" to Macklovitch's surprisingly smooth Flashdance moves on "Night By Night."
But beneath the polished aesthetic veneer, keyboardist Gemayel and guitarist-vocalist Macklovitch are still the same music geeks they were as teens. "You need to have a partner in crime," says Gemayel of his high school days. "People just think you're weird, like, 'Why do you like this old music so much? Black Eyed Peas are great!' So you need someone to be in your little delirium with you."
Super freakazoids
Not all of the duo's musical references are of the blue-eyed variety. Gemayel is obsessed with bands like Cameo (which is reflected in their name and logo), Midnight Starr, SOS Band, Shalamar and Rick James.
"We started adoring Rick James," recalls Gemayel, "before Dave Chappelle started his Rick James skits and people started making fun of him. And we're like, 'No, just listen to Rick James' music, it's amazing. Do NOT make fun of Rick James!'"
Like their musical tastes, Chromeo's studio gear is decidedly old-school.
"At home, I will never use anything other than analog synths," vows Gemayel, who also employs the kind of talkbox that Roger Troutman used in Zapp. "I have a collection of 30 synthesizers: Moogs, Oberheims, Korgs — the old series MS-20 Mono/Poly — Sequential Circuits. Sonically, analog's much better, more warm. You know, it sounds full. You can never achieve that with a plug-in or computer-processed sound."
Gemayel is especially enamored with the Oberheim OB-X he found eight months ago for $6,000. "Yeah, it's not a steal, but it's worth it," he insists. "That's the sound we're going for, so you need the original stuff."
As our interview draws to a close, I ask Gemayel how this whole "Arab/Jewish partnership" thing is going.
"We grew up in a very diverse city — it was a big melting pot — and we've never had any problem with that, ever," says the musician, who's surprised at how often the subject comes up. "It's so insignificant to us that we took the luxury of putting a little joke in the bio. But I think it really struck a chord with people, and it just stuck for some reason."

Food & Shelter
Rocío (Natalia de Molina in her award-winning performance) is a young single mother who has been without work for three and a half years in the Andalucian town of Jerez de la Frontera. She is on the edge of a precipice, living day-to-day off the small allowance of odd jobs and the generosity of her neighbours. As she fights to keep her apartment (with several months of rental debt accrued) she struggles to provide for her eight-year-old son Adrián. When Rocío's gas canister runs out or when her water is turned off, she is faced with an impossible decision: if she replaces them, there is no money to feed her son. There is an understated naturalism to the performances in this perfect storm of misfortune, reflected by documentary-style photography. In the central role, the striking de Molina's haunting performance is painfully expressive and combined with Castillo's absorbing script, gives a somber, unsentimental but completely compelling X-ray of a southern Europe in crisis.

I have a much longer version of this recipe that requires way more work than I was willing to put into a cake last night after supper. A supper I didn't have to cook. But being under the weather I was looking for something quick, easy and yummy. This was all three of those things! The hardest part is waiting until it is cool enough to eat.
I know it may not look like much. But trust me. It is to die for! Rich, gooey (as the recipe indicates), buttery (again…good call!) and easy peasy! I usually have a cake mix or two on hand for a bundt cake recipe we LOVE that is sooo easy. And honestly, I don't know where I saw this recipe or what made me think of it last night. Maybe the fever talking?? Whatever the reason, I am so glad I did. And after I went and crawled back in the bed after supper, Hannah came to my door and said "Mommy??? You awake? THANK YOU for making this cake…nom nom nom!" So here you go. Give it a stir!
1 pkg. yellow cake mix
1/2 c. butter
1 egg
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 lb. box confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix together cake mix (just the mix, not the other ingredients called for on the box) with butter and 1 egg. Pat into an ungreased 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Cream together cream cheese, 2 eggs, powdered sugar and vanilla. Pour over bottom crust. Spreading to the edges. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

What Our Clients Say
After a small kitchen fire, were I over-cooked some stew, my Insurance company recommended 'RestoreUnow.' My condo was filled with smoke & the odor was thru-out my home. Everything needed to be cleaned, furniture, rugs, clothes, walls needed to be washed down, the vents needed to be vacuumed. The project took a day/half to complete-I couldn't believe it, thought it would be a week. 10 days. When completed I defy anyone would have know that I had a previous smoke problem.

AP European History was, and is, by far some of the troublesome classes I've ever taken (right up there with honors biology, chemistry, and physics). Though too many decisions are nonetheless unsatisfactory, and too many youngsters nonetheless haven't got entry to enough good ones, we're a really long way from the training system of 1981, which principally took with no consideration that children would attend the usual-problem, district-operated public faculty in their neighborhood except, maybe, they had been Catholic (or very rich).
But I assume ( and remember that is only My opinion) but one mistake that Welfare makes is the counting of income into the family it was my understanding that they determine what a shopper might need in assistance by their gross revenue would it not not make more sense to figure on the web which they really must pay their bills with I would assume that would make more individuals prepared to take the minimum wage jobs with the correct complement revenue.

The drawback with this method, however, is that it builds a kind of ideology into the gene pool of public education: that there are two sorts of people: good people and non-smart folks: Academic and non-educational, and that these standardized assessments are the most effective tools potential to measure the academic capacity of scholars in the meanwhile.
Whether your state has an current Lost or Stolen Gun Law, is contemplating one, or remains to be with out one in consideration, hold forth and let everybody know what you think about it. These laws require gun house owners to instantly report if a weapon is misplaced or stolen, in hopes that it's going to help regulation-enforcement find the weapon before it's used in a crime.

Going Forward With Fear
Posted March 1, 2012on:
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." (2 Timothy 1:7 NLT)
I hate being afraid. It makes me feel vulnerable and unstable. What am I afraid of? After all, it's not like I'm going to die by stepping out the door into the real world and interacting with people, am I? The Bible tells us that if our God if for us, than what can be against us? It's all in my head. The body's reaction to what we think and how we feel go hand in hand. I still don't understand why my heart jumps a beat whenever I open my eyes in the morning. I don't even have a thought in my head yet and fear has set in.
I remember when I was like this in years past, before I rededicated my life to the Lord. I went to secular recovery programs and did my best to face the unknown. Many people in these rooms were full of fear and scared to death to venture into a life without a chemical courage to keep them strong. I was one of them. I was never able to stop shaking though. People made fun of me, even though I guess they were trying to be kind in their own way (at least I took it as poking fun). They'd say, "look at her! you're shaking like a leaf Michele. Are you scared of me?" And then they'd laugh. Actually, I was afraid. I was clean and sober and very raw. I mimicked a Chihuahua whose whole little body would shake for no reason, even my head and face would tremble. It was VERY difficult to go through that without using something to calm me down. Eventually, I was prescribed a benzo and it was a miracle drug! At first I didn't abuse it. I was living in a halfway house and the house "mom" would only give me my daily dose one day at a time. It was prescribed from a licensed psychiatrist from a well known rehab facility who helps recovering addicts. Yah, figure that one out, right? I managed well on them and I didn't shake. Then I started saving them, and taking two at a time, then three at a time—–you get the picture. Turns out, other girls in the house found out about them and stole a whole bunch of my pills. I was in a panic! Now what do I do?
Those pills sent me back out on the streets over and over again going back to the heavy stuff that was killing me. I didn't know how to cope with it. I didn't KNOW I could cope without it if I just called out to Jesus for help. I was a Christian but I rebelled and backslid right out of high school. I was stubborn as a bull and just didn't want to go back to the whole church thing. I was soooo wrong.
I know now that Jesus and God's grace and healing is the ONLY way to overcome my fear and shaking. I am able to do this without narcotic drugs prescribed legally or not. It's taken me many years to learn this. But it DOES happen and it DID happen for me. My recent relapse put me right back where I was 10 years ago, shaking like a leaf and afraid to leave the house. But I had a good taste of what the Lord can do in my life. I stayed clean for 2 years and I experienced what TRUE JOY really was!! I found a sense of peace I never felt before. I remember waking up with a smile on my face, not a skipped heartbeat and a sense of fear. I use to look forward to what the Lord had for me that day and was ready to overcome and plow through whatever was put in front of me because I had the Almighty God on my side.
So today, I am facing my fears and moving forward no matter what the world wants to throw at me. I have a lot on my plate right now, but I will not falter today. Today I remain strong in spite of myself. I still have the shakes but it will subside, it will pass! I just have to hang on and not put ANY chemicals in my system. If I have even one drink to calm my nerves, I know it will erase all my hard work these past two weeks. Just gotta hold on to the Truth that is written in His Word and trust in God to keep me safe and to help me along. I will keep it simple, not overwhelm myself and TRUST, TRUST, TRUST!!

For 22 years, Ahwatukee has come together for one night a year, albeit on opposite sides of a stadium, for what has become one of the best high school football rivalries in Arizona.
The annual battle between Mountain Pointe and Desert Vista, separated by just four miles, creates a friendly rivalry in the community, as well, in the game that has become known as the Ahwatukee Bowl.
"Anytime you have two schools right down the street from each other it adds to the intrigue of the game," said David Hines, executive director of the Arizona Interscholastic Association, the governing body of Arizona high school sports. "Especially in this day in age, this is one of the rivalries that is a very great game to be able to go see."
The 22nd installment of the Ahwatukee Bowl between the Pride and Thunder is Friday, Oct. 5, at 7 p.m. at Mountain Pointe's Karl Kiefer Stadium. The game will be telecast live by YurView Arizona on Cox channels 4 and 1004, and then replayed immediately following the live telecast.
The Ahwatukee Bowl dates to 1997, the first year Desert Vista fielded a varsity football team.
Having already established a tradition under legendary coach Karl Kiefer, Mountain Pointe was victorious in the first-ever meeting.
But Desert Vista, led by yet another legendary prep football coach, Jim Rattay, quickly found success of its own.
As of late, it's been Mountain Pointe that has dominated the series. The Pride have defeated the Thunder in six straight games and eight of the past nine to regain the series lead, 11-10.
"People in the community will talk across the nail salon or when they enter restaurants and see the schools' colors," said Dr. Anna Battle, the chief leadership development officer at ASU Prep. "But ultimately, it reminds them why there was a purpose to live in the community in which they live. It has created a new energy within Ahwatukee. People get really excited about it."
Before joining the staff at ASU Prep, Battle was an integral part of the rivalry. She was assistant principal and athletic director at Desert Vista for five years and then, after a four-year stint at Tempe High, she returned to DV as principal until 2014.
Battle has seen the rivalry grow to heights she couldn't imagine back in 1997, especially given the success both programs have had since.
Desert Vista won its first state championship in 1998, just two years after the school opened. In 2011, under current coach Dan Hinds, the Thunder again won the state title.
Two years later, it was Mountain Pointe at the top of prep football in Arizona, as then-coach Norris Vaughan led the Pride to a perfect 14-0 record, the state title and No. 5 national ranking.
The successes of the programs fueled the quest for Ahwatukee bragging rights.
"It's like two brothers going at it," said Bruce Kipper, athletic director of the Tempe Union High School District. "It's about school pride and not letting your brother get the best of you, so to speak."
Having spent 20 years at Mountain Pointe in various positions, including the last 10 as principal before joining the district staff this year, Kipper often compares the Ahwatukee Bowl to one in his home town in northern Idaho. Kipper spent his high school career playing against a rival just across a river, drawing large crowds similar to the Ahwatukee Bowl.
"You have two large schools in a small community," Kipper said. "This game draws out people in the community that don't normally come to the games. They aren't loyal to either school, but it's the community aspect that interests them."
Despite the dominance of Desert Vista in the early years and Mountain Pointe's dominance in recent years, the intensity and interest in the game remains high across the state, perhaps even more so this season given what has transpired since the two schools last met.
For the first time since 2009, Mountain Pointe has a new coach. Rich Wellbrock was hired to take over for Vaughan in January. The transition for Pride players to the new staff and system has had its challenges, especially given a tough schedule to start the season.
The Pride enter Friday's contest with Desert Vista at 3-3, but are coming off a dominating performance over previously unbeaten Highland.
Desert Vista is 5-1, its only loss coming against Highland two weeks ago. The Thunder have benefited from a lighter schedule to start the season, but have key victories over Carlsbad (Calif.) and Desert Ridge.
"Desert Vista has some dudes and Mountain Pointe has some dudes," Kipper said. "I think this has potential to be one of the best games we have ever had in this rivalry."
If there is one thing that has remained consistent throughout the rivalry, it's that all expectations go out the window.
"Both programs during the rivalry at times have been very strong," Battle said. "But with this game, it doesn't matter what the record of each team is. They are coming to play."

January 8, 2018—Mount St. Mary's senior guard Junior Robinson (Mebane, N.C.) and freshman guard Jonah Antonio (Perth, Australia) have been recognized with Northeast Conference Weekly honors. Robinson was named the NEC Player of the Week while Antonio earned NEC Co-Rookie of the Week honors.
Robinson averaged 26.0 points and 6.5 assists in helping lead the Mountaineers to a pair of NEC victories. He opened the week with a 25-point, nine-assist effort in the Mount's 96-80 victory over Bryant. Robinson finished the game 7-of-8 from the field, 2-of-3 from three-point range, and 9-of-10 at the foul line in a near-perfect shooting performance. He followed by scoring 23 of his game-high 27 points in the second half to lead Mount St. Mary's past Central Connecticut, 78-51, on Saturday. The 5-5 guard was 9-of-16 from the field and 5-of-9 from three-point range in the win.
Robinson leads the Northeast Conference in scoring at 21.9 points per game while he is second in the circuit with 5.2 assists per game.
Antonio had it going from long distance last week, averaging 18.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in the Mount's two wins. He opened the week with 18 points in the Mount's victory over Bryant, hitting 4-of-12 from three-point range in the game. Against Central Connecticut, the freshman was 6-of-11 from beyond the arc to finish with 18 points while adding five rebounds in the win. For the week, Antonio shot 50.0 percent from the field and 43.5 percent (10-of-23) from three-point range.
Antonio is averaging 11.8 points per game this season, and he is fourth in the nation with 153 three-point field goal attempts this season.
Mount St. Mary's is back in action on Thursday, January 11, when Sacred Heart visits Knott Arena for a 7:00 p.m. matchup.

A Tokyo court has ordered the administrator of the failed bitcoin exchange MtGox to start liquidating the company's assets to pay back its creditors.
In a statement posted on the company's website, the appointed bankruptcy trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi said the Tokyo District Court issued an order of commencement of the bankruptcy proceedings for MtGox on 24 April.
"The power and authority to administer and dispose of the assets of the Company is vested exclusively in the bankruptcy trustee, and the bankruptcy trustee will implement the bankruptcy proceedings, such as the administration and realization of the Company's assets and the investigation of the claims," he said.
The bankruptcy trustee will manage the assets of the exchange and convert them into cash. He will also investigate the claims against the company and distribute funds to creditors once they are secured.
A creditors' meeting in connection with the liquidation will be held on 23 July.
Japan-based MtGox, which at one point hosted 80% of the world's bitcoin trades, collapsed after reporting that 850,000 bitcoins were stolen in what it claims was the result of a two-year long cyber attack. The company filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan on 28 February and subsequently in the US.
The exchange later filed for liquidating its assets following its failure to restructure its business under the country's bankruptcy protection scheme.
Subsequently, it was placed into provisional administration.
The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that the exchange had asked a Tokyo court to allow it to be liquidated. WSJ's sources cited reasons including the "difficulty of holding meetings with creditors spread around the world" and "the lack of realistic rehabilitation plans" for the exchange for the move.
The liquidation filing comes after the company's lawyers in the US told a court that MtGox's CEO Mark Karpeles would not be able to attend a trial in the country over the bankruptcy of the exchange.
