Though it's not quite spring, I'm ready to pull out the salads. This salad is delicious, healthy, and a lot of fun to put together, with very attractive results! Enjoy!
Pink and Green Salad
(Spinach and Avocado Salad with Shrimp and Pink Grapefruit)
For each salad you will need:
6-7 cooked medium shrimp, peeled
1/2 avocado, cut in half and the flesh removed in small slices
1 small pink grapefruit (or 1/2 large)
handful fresh spinach, chopped
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
Using peeled shrimp and slices of avocado, construct a layered tower (an idea taken from a little appetizer that my French host father made the summer before last) in the middle of the plate; a layer of shrimp, topped with a layer of avocado, then more shrimp, then more avocado, and finally a few shrimp to top. Sometimes the French will use a little mayonnaise for additional flavor and to help the tower stick together, but I prefer to do without it. Then at the base of the tower, place chopped spinach and individual pieces of grapefruit (without the pith is better for the aesthetic, but apparently the pith is very healthy for you, so your call. My grandmother was an expert pith-remover, but I find this tedious, though worth it!). Sprinkle with a little olive oil and vinegar and enjoy!

New sourdough bread sheets
Foodservice supplier Coup de Pates has launched Sourdough Bread Sheets into the UK foodservice market.
The new Sourdough Bread Sheets are supplied frozen and come in white and rye variants. Coup de Pates said in a statement: "They make it easy to produce bespoke speciality breads in shapes, sizes and varieties."
The sheets need to be defrosted, cut, shaped, topped with your chosen ingredients, proved and baked.
Warren Wells, commercial director at Aryzta Food Solutions UK, parent company of Coup de Pates, said: "Innovation is a word often used to describe new products, but these bread sheets really do hit the mark. Just one box of product gives caterers hundreds of options, opening up potential new revenue streams into the bargain and cutting wastage.
The white and rye sourdough sheets come in 1,400g units (five per case) and hold for 72 hours in their sleeves after defrosting.
Last month Coup de Pates announced that Fabrice Prochasson has joined the company as its new director of creation and innovation.

Hello friends,
If you haven't joined the third Ultraworking Pentathlon, it's starting this Saturday -- so jump on now if you'd like to get 16 days of peak performance + permanent lessons and levelups in your productivity and workflow.
Details are all here:
Always honored and thrilled to work with you, regards,
Hello old friends,
It's my favorite month: March. I like the name of the month, the concept of the month, and I love that spring is here.
We've got a few big things at Ultraworking coming.
The first is that Pentathlon III is up --
Some things you do make you feel light.
Other things make you feel heavy.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to do what makes you feel light and not do what makes you feel heavy.
And, really, that is all you need to do. And say thank you to no one in particular, often.

Here is what we have to look forward to...and here is the crazy we have been dealing with. So Myles and I have been trying to rent our house out right, well done. We have a great little family that will be moving in on the 25th of this month!!!! So... we have been moving all all weekend. Oh ya and that awesome truck we had....sold, oh, and all our other belongings, sold or given away as well. We are down to a desk, our bed 2 couches, and our car. Well that is exaggerating a little, but we have gotten rid of a good portion of our things, over half I would say. It is freeing in a way, you remember that they are jsut things and really I have not noticed much of what is gone yet. I should have taken a picture of the yard sale we held all weekend, it would have been hard to beat that weather....Ha ha ha, but we were sucessfull in getting rid of more things than we thought. So Just for Drew and Nat, Sorry I did not make the game this week, I didn't get your text untill about two on sat when I found my phone under a pile of stuff we had moved to my in-law's house, which is where we will be spending most of our time the next few months....

Awww...I love the little shout out to us! Sounds like life to me. We understand. There were two games this week and it has just gotten crazy with everyones schedules. We understand. I really am getting sad that you're leaving though. Really. Is there anyway you'll reconsider?ReplyDelete
no worries, I'll be back and you will be a teacher by then and drew a nurse, so we you can teach my kids and my husband and I will work with drew :) it will be good timesReplyDelete
I remember my endless trips to DI when we were faux 'moving'. It is quite liberating to get rid of all the excess stuff that you can really live without quite easily. I wish you both nothing but the best of luck. I might have to put on my big girl pants and work a little more now (probably not) though. You will truly be missed at work.ReplyDelete

To Counterprotest or Not To Counterprotest: Courage, Integrity, Tact, and Cowardice
In many conversations and writings lately, I've heard myself emphasizing the need for the LGBT movement to be more proactive. We do a whole lot better when we're trying to get people to say "Yes!" (like in DC or Washington state) than when we are trying to get them not say "No" (like in Maine and California). At first, when I started making this point, I framed it as "more proactive and less reactive," but the more I've thought about it, I really just mean more proactive.
You see, I think there is incredible importance in reacting. We need to stand up for ourselves. We need to create visibility for ourselves. We need to counter our opponents and their lie-riddled fear-mongering rhetoric at every turn. It's a matter of integrity—a demonstration of our courage and our stamina. Alone, it's not a winning strategy; you don't win a game of chess if you only defend your own pieces. Still, it's a vital part of our movement and our social well-being.
That's why I am incredibly disappointed in Equality Pennsylvania's cowardice in deciding not to counterprotest the NOM tour stop this Friday in Harrisburg.
The National Organization for Marriage has been driving around the US, rallying tens of people at their events, and then creating "breaking news" propaganda videos about how aggressive the counterprotesters are. It's a devious tactic. Freedom to Marry and the Prop 8 Trial Tracker ("NOM Tour Tracker"), as well as bloggers like Jeremy Hooper at Good As You have been countering them at every turn, revealing the truths of their claims. They only have a few stops left, and on Friday they will be here in little ol' Harrisburg, PA (it's the capital!).
Equality PA released a statement explaining why they were not counterprotesting (emphasis in original):
The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) kicked off their "One Man, One Woman" tour on July 14th. At each stop where there have been counter protests or attendance by pro-equality supporters, they have disrespected or mocked them and attempted to provoke them into screaming or yelling. Their goal in doing this is to make our side look foolish and hostile. We have also seen that they like to play a numbers game where if we have even a few less attendees than at their event, they will claim that the momentum is moving in their direction. We know from the recent polling numbers and the pathetic turnout their rallies have been recording, that this simply isn't the case.
We are working hard to advance equality and will continue to do so long after they leave town. While we may be upset by their rhetoric, we can't get caught up in retaliation when we need to remain focused on what needs to get done to win! Putting our energy into showing up at their event does not help to move us forward. What will help to advance equality in Pennsylvania is if we use them coming to town as an excuse to mobilize local activists and build our network.
So after NOM finishes their ranting and heads to the next town, we will be out there getting it done! We are holding a terrific event in Harrisburg on August 12, the night before they arrive, around a special showing of the movie "Stonewall Uprising" with a panel on youth activism afterward. We encourage everyone who can, to attend.
Click here for more information!
Not only is this a great movie, but this public conversation will increase our network and identify new volunteers and supporters. Please do what you can…attend, make a donation or just plain follow our activities. But please, ignore NOM when they come to town and don't interact. Attention is exactly what they want, and why should honest people who hold equality close to their hearts be tricked into supporting their sad little charade.
This is an expression of cowardice. It buys into a "fight or flight" dichotomy that doesn't reflect the reality of potential responses. The assumption is that we cannot respond to NOM's rally without looking "foolish," "hostile," or retaliatory, ignoring the notion and potential of tact.
Is it possible to counterprotest NOM in a peaceful way? A way that creates visibility and builds unity for our community and our families? A way that makes sure that any media coverage includes stories of our experiences and our truths? A way that overshadows NOM's message of discrimination without fueling their propaganda machine? It's not easy to pull off, but such a way exists.
That's why EQPA's decision amounts to cowardice. Rather than take a risk, they'd rather not try at all. Maybe they should be ashamed, but maybe not. If they don't think they have the resources or capacity to pull it off, I can totally understand why they wouldn't want their stamp of approval on it. However, I resent the smugness with which they claim to rise above, ignoring the important catharsis achieved when our community rejects its own condemnation.
That's not to say that EQPA doesn't make some good points in their statement. It is true that NOM has been using their tour to paint a negative picture of activists, but it's NOM. They'll find a way to spin it their way regardless. Given that Harrisburg is the only stop that hasn't had a major organization planning a counter response, I'd hate to see Central Pennsylvania spun as a bastion of anti-gay hate. I think EQPA is onto something with using NOM to mobilize local activists, and I think the film screening is a great idea. Educating about the movement's history and raising the voices of queer youth is amazing, but it doesn't undo the hurt NOM causes many by rolling into town to spout their incendiary drivel.
We have a serious problem if our movement isn't willing to stand up to our opponents. I don't think anything has been more compelling than the media appearances Olson and Boies have been making since last week's Prop 8 ruling, unabashedly defending the truths of our lives and obliterating our opponents. That sort of visibility and education is exactly what many of the counterprotests have accomplished with their truth squads. It's the kind of work an organization like Equality Pennsylvania should be prepared to handle without compromising their other proactive work.
Standing up for equality means standing up for equality whether it's convenient or not. Even if it's not on our playing field, we have to show.
That's why I will be participating in a counterprotest on Friday at noon being organized by a group called Justice League – Activate. I will stand against NOM with my family, document their efforts, and speak on behalf of Pennsylvania gays and lesbians who still are subject to state-sponsored discrimination. If none of my friends will stand with me out of solidarity with Equality Pennsylvania, that's their choice. However, I will not let preachers of discrimination control the media for the day without some visibility from the people they unflinchingly discriminate against.
While I still argue that proactive activism demands greater priority, reactive activism is important for our community's maintenance. We have to be strong enough to rebuff our opponents AND push forward in spite of them. To ignore them is forfeit and I'm already tired of feeling like I"m on a losing team.
I hope you'll join me Friday to show Central Pennsylvania that we are here, we are queer, and we care about marriage too. We want the same safety and security that marriage provides. We are proudly standing up for all families who just want to live their lives as happy members of their Pennsylvania communities.

Daniel Hardwick was the newly appointed Night Sister at a local Aged Care Facility. His carer was Claire Chadwick. They hit it off straight away, in fact Daniel had to stop himself from staring at Claire. Little did he know that Claire felt the same way.
Within 3 shifts they knew every secret that they had within them. They were as close as 2 people could be & told each other so. There was also sexual innuendos flying around.
Daniel had an alcohol problem but never drank before work through respect for Claire. He lived in a city 40 minutes away. Claire lived 5 minutes away. One morning the inevitable happened. They had a fling. It went pear-shaped. Claires husband Gary forgot some work tools & had to return to get them. He passed Daniel on the way out of the driveway.
When Daniel arrived home the phone rang. It was an angry Gary. He must have got his number from Claire as Daniel had a silent number. Dan took the phone off the hook & switched his mobile off.
That night at work, Daniel asked what Gary had said. Claire said he was heartbroken but she told him that Daniel was only there for a coffee & had been there before. Gary didn't believe her so he rang Daniels parents who rang Daniel. Daniel stuck to Claires story. Both Gary & Daniels Mum remained suspicious.
After 9 months, Daniel was sacked for non-attendance. He would 'go missing' by not answering the phone. Claire continued to support him until he got sober 7 months later via phone calls, texts and emails. He was then diagnosed with bipolar & medicated..
2 months later Daniel answered the phone & was surprised to hear a calm voice saying,, "It's Gary Chadwick here. Claire & I were wondering if you'd like to come for a BBQ on Saturday afternoon?" Daniel was taken aback and asked for directions. He wrote them down.
Saturday arrived & Daniel rang the Chadwicks to see if 3pm was alright. Gary said, "That'd be fine. I've got this new BBQ that I want to try out. Oh! Bring overnight gear. We'd like you to stay the night." Daniel replied "Sure." He packed a t-shirt and his medications.
Daniel made his way to the Chadwicks & was warmly greeted by Gary. "I'm just about to mess about with this new BBQ. Come grab a drink on the veranda. On the large veranda was the BBQ & a large table, sitting at which was Claire & their 19 yeaar old son Mitchell who promptly stood up, introduced himself & shook Daniels hand. "Go grab Daniel a drink, Mitchell."
Mitchell returned & sat a can of beer in front of Daniel. Claire sternly said, "Daniel doesn't drink, Mitchell. I told you, remember?" Mitchell apologised. "No need to apologise, Mitchell. I'm the one with the problem not you." This lightened the atmosphere again. Mitchell returned with a can of Pepsi,
Daniel & Claire spent their time telling funny work stories. Mitchell was all ears & laughing. He was seeing a side of his Mum that he hadn't seen before. Meanwhile Gary was wrestling with his new BBQ, almost setting himself alight, further adding to the hilarity. The group spent the rest of the evening getting to know each other and generally laughing. Gary was an electrician & Mitchell was studying to be a Pharmacist.
On dark, they moved inside & continued their conversation when, at 9pm, Daniel stood up & grabbed his medications and sat the boxes on the kitchen bench. He asked Gary & Claire if it was okay to show & explain his medications to Mitchell . "Sure," said Claire. "It'll be a good learning experience for him."
Daniel pulled a strip of each medication from the box & took varying amounts of each tablet from the strip. Mitchell was standing on the opposite side of the bench. "You know I've got bipolar, right?" Mitchell looked surprised and said, "No. No I didn't." Daniel replied, "All of these medications are for bipolar or anxiety." Again, Mitchell looked surprised & said, "You? Anxiety?"
Daniel replied "Yup. So we'll start with that medication. Here it is." He pulled out a strip of Valium. "This is Valium. We all know what that does. If you took one of these you'd be out cold in an hour. When I have an anxiety attack it takes 4 to hold me….& that only takes the edge off things. I only take it when necessary as it's addictive and you get tolerant to it. I take it as a last resort," explained Daniel.
Daniel then pointed to a long white tablet. "This is Lithium. It's a mood stabiliser & takes weeks to build up in your system. You could take one now & nothing would happen. The same applies to this purple one, Valpro. It's mainly used as an anti-epileptic but serves as a mood stabiliser. The last one is Zeldox, an anti-manic medication. It stops me from staying awake for days on end, "Daniel explained. Most people take 2 a day. I take 4 a day." Mitchell asked why Daniel needed such high doses. "Body chemistry," said Daniel. "I just happen to have a high tolerance to medications,
Mitchell then asked if he could make some notes. "Sure," said Daniel. Mitchell went to his room & returned with a notepad. Daniel went through each medication in more depth & including possible side effects.
The following morning Daniel woke up & walked to the end of the driveway for a cigarette. He hears, "Oi!" from behind him. It was Gary wielding an ashtray. "I didn't know you smoked, Daniel. You should have said." Daniel replied, "It's no big deal." Gary summoned Daniel to the table on the veranda where he finished his first cigarette. Gary made a coffee and brought one out. Daniel proceeded to have another 3 cigarettes where he & Gary spoke about life in general.
Gary told Daniel that they were having a family gathering in a fortnight & he would like to invite Daniel. "I couldn't possibly," Daniel. Gary said, "I insist. It would be my pleasure. You'd go down a treat." Daniel agreed before Gary added,"….and you're welcome to stay the night." The deal was done.
2 weeks later Daniel was preparing for the Chadwicks BBQ. He felt an an anxiety attack coming on so took 4 Valium. When he arrived his angst raised when he saw the veranda was full of people, all of whom had turned around to look at him. Mitchell came running down & grabbed his bag and rushed it inside. Claire introduced Daniel to everyone, "So you're this Daniel we've all been hearing about?" Daniel was never going to remember all of their names. Mitchell returned with an ashtray & can of Pepsi for Daniel. He complimented Daniel on his Bob Dylan t-shirt.
Somebody stood & gave Daniel a chair. He was seated by Gary & Claires mother who proceeded to tell him of their ailments. He gave what advice he could but his charm had them around his little finger in no time.
Everybody had a great night & Daniel ended up driving them home, arriving back at the Chadwicks at 1am. Although late Daniel took his medication late anyway. He uncharacteristically until 9am & decided to leave immediately. He wasn't in the mood for hungover strangers.
Later that afternoon Claire rang and asked if he was alright. He told her the truth. "I'd just as soon keep it to small gatherings in future."
Small gatherings is how it stayed, as did their affair.


text: If you're a Southsider, there's a good chance you've never been to this end of Johnson St. That's because there really hasn't been much reason to go, unless you're an old school Collingwood fan or a junkie (or both). Nowadays the "other side" of Johnston St is picking up and it's mostly to do with Dr Morse. The renovations took about a year but they've worked their way from a little coffee dispensary to a full blown bar and eatery. Big glass windows greet you as you walk straight past the bar into their oversized beer garden (straight to another bar). They're pretty proud of their food and drink so you'll always see some little brewer taking over their taps for a weekend or a pig on the spit as a bit of a treat for the locals. What excited us was their Weekend Menu, which slightly differs and is made a little more straight up and down to their every day dinner haul, offering an all day breakky and stuff like Fried chicken & kimchi sandwiches. We managed to grab a beer and their Classic Beef Burger that came with a beef patty, lettuce, tomato, cheese, mustard and pickles on a brioche bun.

Just found your site - love it. Also noticed that I just became your 100th follower which was kind of nice too.
Looks like pretty decent pub grub, especially the soft shell crab!
Good to know a decent place for pub food at the area!
hi lanie, thanks so much for being my 100th follower! that's super! so glad to hear you enjoy my blog. i wish i had a garden like yours to grow my own vegetables and fruit but i only have a small balcony facing north although the potted rosemary seems to be able to survive the heat. any tips on how to grow a successful herb garden on a balcony facing the sun?
hi john, there's was also enough chilli spice on the crab to give it a nice taste bud kick too :-)
hi ellie, the Dolphin Hotel also has some decent priced pub grub too. haven't been to the White Horse Hotel for a while but I think they do reasonably priced meals too now.
Wow I would never have guessed! Was the only pub I could get into and stay at before legal age. Cool, love cheap n cheerful food.
hi sarah, definitely check out the soft shell crab if you're a fan.

Recipes I've Shared:
A hearty stew for those cold wither months. You can make it into a good pot pie using phylo dough and individual serving dishes.
A yummy little dessert that can be dressed up.
Good for the kids in the morning before they head out the door to school.
Goes really well with baked Lemon pepper chicken breasts and wild rice.
A little lighter version.
It's a favorite with the kids.
I normally feed a family of four from this roast chicken and then take the rest and make chicken noodle soup with it.
I like this with a little side salad and light lime dressing. I like to make the sauce in a crock pot in the morning and let it sit on low to develop a good flavour.
I just love Thai food...This can be made with a spice mix and lite coconut milk.
I grew up eating this cornbread with chili. Just the smell of it cooking reminds me of cold winter days and a crackling fire.
It goes really well with a slice of cornbread on a cold day.
A little bit lighter than normal but I would save it for a treat, like celebrating a good score on a test or something like that.

SAN MARCOS, TX – Texas State University medical affiliate professor Sharon Armstead took respiratory remedy students, knowledge and donations to Guyana in January 2018 on a examine overseas program. As a part of a network-large branding overhaul, native newscast titles and timeslots have been standardized effective February 6, 2006, 7 following the BCTV model. "This is a chance to have coverage that is closer to residence," mentioned Troy Reeb, senior vice-president of International Information and Corus Radio in the story.
The GDELT Translingual platform represents what we believe is the most important realtime streaming news machine translation deployment on the earth: all international news that GDELT displays in 65 languages , representing ninety eight.4{5d438d25ce37f268e6d2700a6bbdf769d55a373d65a413a37f2dada62fc38122} of its every day non-English monitoring volume, is translated in realtime into English and processed. They met through Heyliger-Thomas' husband, who went to elementary college with Armstead in Guyana.
From the corporate that invented a special media comes a special content material enterprise. Hundreds of angry college students, parents, teachers and neighbors of a Florida highschool the place 17 people were killed are demanding quick motion on gun-control laws. She said a particular moment was seeing Armstead converse to college students at Mackenzie Excessive College, the place Armstead's dad was once the principal.
On January 7, 2013, the network extended its Toronto &'s morning program ( The Morning Present ) by half-hour, with this extra half-hour airing across its other &Os; 2 previous to this, International did not air a nationwide morning present In addition, the network's &Os in choose markets produce their own native morning exhibits (see beneath ); stations which don't produce a local morning present either air the morning present from a larger market, or run daytime programming repeated from Shaw Media 's cable specialty channels , such as Crash Check Mommy and The Mom Present.

Joel has finally walked away from his abusive ex and is ready to meet new people. But that isn't easy for a guy who's shy, self-conscious, and struggling with his body image.
Andre has wanted Joel since the first time he laid eyes on him, and finally Joel is single. But Andre is a Dom and a sadist, and Joel is unapologetically vanilla. There's no happy medium—either Andre reins in the kinky side that took him years to accept, or Joel grits his teeth and subjects himself to kinks that aren't his thing. No matter who bends, someone's going to be unhappy.
They agree to walk away, but they keep circling back to each other. Though their kinks might not line up, the chemistry between them sizzles and the emotional connection keeps getting deeper. But none of that will get them anywhere if they can't find some kind of middle ground in the bedroom.

Chapter 1
Joel had gotten used to the absence of his collar, but today, his throat felt conspicuously naked. As he walked across the restaurant with his friend April, he resisted the urge to rub his neck in search of that thick leather strap. It was gone, and good riddance, but he was suddenly reminded of the precariously weightless feeling that accompanied driving without a seat belt. Not that the collar had ever made him feel safe and secure so much as owned and restrained, but joining this group without it was weird. So maybe the feeling was more like driving past a cop car and realizing he wasn't wearing a seat belt. Well, hopefully no one would notice.
Oh, but they did.
As he approached the long table where the group always gathered, a few people looked at him, some doing double takes. They probably hadn't expected to see him any more than he'd expected to show up.
Still a safe distance away, he stopped and turned to April. "This is stupid. I don't know why I'm here."
April touched his back. "Relax."
"I am relaxed."
"No, you're not." She gave him a gentle push. "You're here because these are your friends."
Joel scowled. "This isn't my crowd anymore. I don't have anything in common with—"
"Honey. We've been through this." She exhaled sharply. "For God's sake, no one here cares if you're done with kink." She waved a hand toward the group. "They're just having lunch and a few beers. It isn't like anyone's going to try to collar you or cuff you to something."
Shuddering violently, he avoided her eyes and all of theirs.
"Come on." She squeezed his arm. "They're just going to be happy to see you. Especially without Rob."
Joel pursed his lips. She had a point. His ex-boyfriend/Dom hadn't been terribly popular among the members of their local dungeon. Joel was still fuzzy on what exactly had led to Rob being banned for life—that had happened sometime in the three months since they'd split—but at least he could be absolutely sure the asshole wouldn't show up here.
Just like I shouldn't show up here. What am I doing?
But April had persuaded him, insisting he needed to get his butt out of the house for a change and that everyone had been asking after him for weeks. And he had been lonely as hell lately. Part of that could be blamed on a job that didn't lend itself to watercooler friendships, but his isolation was mostly thanks to his ex's careful orchestration—he had no close friends in this town outside the kink community.
Since Joel didn't want to go to the dungeon, April had convinced him a munch wouldn't kill him. He hadn't been to one of these since his early, early days with Rob, and they'd always been kind of fun, so hey, why not? He'd promised her he'd come to one munch—one—and see how it went. The second someone started interrogating him about why he'd gone back to the vanilla side, though, he was done. Gone. Out. Good-bye.
As he and April crossed the last bit of distance to the table, people started getting out of their chairs. They hugged April, and as Joel braced, heads turned toward him.
"Hey, hey!" Nathan, an enormous bear with a Santa Claus beard, held out his arms. "Get over here. It's good to see you!"
Joel relaxed a little and hugged Nathan. The big guy had barely let him go before Lynn, who resembled a low-key librarian instead of the sharp-tongued Domme he was used to, came up and offered a hug as well.
"We've all been worried about you," she said, squeezing him tight. She pulled back, but held on to his shoulders and looked him right in the eye. "Have you been doing okay?"
It was funny to hear her gently asking about him. She sounded even less like that hard-edged Domme and more like his mom making sure he'd been eating properly and getting enough sleep.
Joel nodded. "Yeah. Yeah. It's, uh, been an adjustment, but I'm doing fine."
Her rigid features softened, and she hugged him again. "Good. Glad to hear it. I'm sure it's been rough, but you're better off."
He smiled tightly. Everyone had been telling him that ever since the night he'd finally walked out, and while they meant well, it annoyed him. He felt stupid enough for staying as long as he had with Rob. Every "you're better off" hit him like, "What the hell took you so long, you fucking moron?"
After several people had said hello to him, Joel took a seat beside April and picked up a menu. Well, things were off to a pretty good start so far. April was right—people did seem genuinely happy to see him, and no one had given him shit. Yet.
He ordered a beer to relax his nerves a bit, and as he sipped it, he quietly watched the rest of the group. He had to admit, when it came to this bunch, he was a lot more comfortable in this environment than in the dungeon where everyone went at night. He couldn't really blame them for that, though. At the dungeon, Rob had always required him to dress a certain way, which meant snug leather pants and no shirt. The bastard had insisted it was hot because it made Joel's collar and attached leather leash more conspicuous. No one could have looked at him and not known he was Rob's.
Joel's stomach knotted, and he fidgeted uncomfortably and tugged at his loose T-shirt. Being Rob's submissive—more like his possession—had lost its novelty a long time ago, but more than anything, Joel had grown seriously tired of parading himself in front of this group. While they had no compunctions about strolling around in tight leather, fishnets, bondage harnesses, or whatever they were or weren't wearing on a particular night, that was not and had never been his style. Not when he knew he'd be feeling like shit later for that extra ten, eventually fifteen, and ultimately twenty-five pounds he was flaunting for all to see.
"When you let yourself go like that," he could still hear Rob saying in the car on the way home a few months back, "it makes us both look bad."
Since their split, Joel had lost almost eight of those stupid pounds, but the rest would take time. It would be at least fifteen pounds in total before his shirt came off with the lights on.
He scanned the group, and that uncomfortable knot slowly unwound. Everyone here was dressed down. His slightly oversized and deliberately untucked T-shirt didn't make him stand out amongst the shorts, T-shirts, and tank tops. To anyone else in the restaurant, this bunch was a dozen or so people sharing some beer and some laughs while they soaked up the air-conditioning and escaped the thick June heat outside.
"So." April elbowed him. "Anything look good?"
"What?" He eyed her. "I just got here. I'm not checking anyone out."
She rolled her eyes and tapped his menu. "I meant food."
"Oh. Right." He looked down at the menu, which was still open and propped up against the table.
"Hey." She nudged him again, and her expression turned serious. "You okay?"
He nodded. "Just getting used to being around this group again." More like being around people in the first place.
"I know. If you want to take off after we eat, just holler." She paused, glanced around, and added a soft, "Or if you want to leave sooner."
"Thanks." He focused on the menu again. Slowly, he started to relax. Knowing he had an easy escape was a plus. She wasn't bullshitting either—if he said the word, they'd be out the door so fast his head would spin. It was one of the only reasons he'd been willing to come with her in the first place.
Someone who honors a safeword. What a concept.
He flipped through the menu's pages until he found the salads. All the pastas—especially the baked ones dripping with cheese—sounded divine, but he'd been eating clean for the past month. The beer he was drinking was his one indulgence today. He'd be good. One moment of self-control closer to fitting into the clothes he hadn't worn since the first year with Rob. Amazing how much easier it was to discipline himself into eating right and visiting the gym on a regular basis when it was his own thing rather than a way of trying to please Rob.
Hmm. Greek salad. The feta probably isn't—
You know what? Fuck it. A handful of feta isn't the end of the world.
I ran three goddamned miles this morning and I haven't touched those breadsticks. Gimme the feta.
He closed his menu and sipped his beer.
Some chairs were still empty. He didn't know if that meant there were more people coming, or if they'd just overestimated how many chairs they would need. Despite himself, he was actually hoping more people were coming. Now that he'd shown up and realized people weren't going to harangue him, he was eager to see some friendly faces. And maybe even talk to them. As it was, there were several conversations going on at the table. The bits and pieces he caught were about people's jobs, tricks and hacks for keeping lawns green despite the county's water-use restrictions, and what the hell was wrong with Jim's Jaguar this time. April would probably jump into one of the conversations at some point, and she'd pull him in with her. Fine by him. For now, he was content to—
"Oh my sweet Lord," April said under her breath.
"Hmm?" He turned. "What's—"
His heart skipped.
Oh my sweet Lord, indeed.
Across the restaurant, three familiar people had just walked in and were headed this way. Ginny, who was significantly shorter than he remembered—likely because she had on sneakers instead of her trademark gigantic suicide heels—and Brian, her ever-present submissive, who towered over her.
But they just barely registered to Joel.
Because behind them was Andre.
Tall, tanned, black-haired Andre.
It didn't matter right then that Andre was a hard-core sadist and a Dom. Or that he lived and breathed kink. It wasn't for nothing that this man had modeled his way through college and could still—even in shorts and a faded Metallica T-shirt—pull it off today.
For the few moments it took for Andre to cross the restaurant, Joel let himself fantasize about being in his league. He let his heart flutter and his stomach somersault and his mouth water. If Andre could be persuaded to dabble in vanilla sex, Joel would be first in line to volunteer as tribute.
Then their eyes met.
And clearly Andre saw someone else, because his face lit up with the most gorgeous smile.
"Joel?" He walked faster. "My God, is that you?"
Joel's heart stopped. "Me?"
"Yeah, you." Andre chuckled. "Come here. It's been too long!"
You know I exist?
"Uh. Hi." On shaky legs, Joel rose, and suddenly those tanned arms were around him. What cologne was that? And why did it make his head spin so fast?
Andre pulled back and kept a hand on his shoulder as he looked him up and down, which made Joel want to shrivel up and die right then and there. He should've waited another ten or fifteen pounds to show his face. Maybe twenty to be safe.
Meeting Joel's gaze again, Andre said, "It's really good to see you back here. We've all been worried."
Joel forced a smile, but his heart was sinking. Oh right. It wasn't interest. Andre was just one more person who was happy to see that Joel had gotten out from under Rob's thumb and made it back to the land of the living. Of course.
Out of your league by a mile, remember?
Still, it was nice that people here were concerned about him.
"Well," Andre said, squeezing Joel's shoulder just before he withdrew his hand. "I'm really glad to see you. Are you coming back to the group, or . . .?"
"Um." Joel lowered his gaze. "I don't think so. I'm just sort of, uh . . . trying to socialize, and . . ." And I don't know anyone in this town because I wasn't allowed to meet people after we moved here and— Joel cleared his throat. His face was already burning, so he reclaimed eye contact and made himself say, "I'm just hanging out. Not really doing the kink thing anymore."
"Oh." Andre's eyebrows jumped. "I . . . well . . ." He recovered quickly and smiled. "Either way, you're always welcome here. Good to see you."
They shook hands, and Andre continued saying hello to the rest of the group. As Joel took his seat again, April grabbed his arm. "You lucky bastard."
He laughed. "Oh come on. One more 'Oh hey, you dumped the dipshit' to add to the collection." He rolled his eyes.
She clicked her tongue. "Whatever. He never hugs me."
"Bring a dysfunctional relationship to the dungeon for a while, kick the asshole to the curb, disappear for a few months, and show up again." He patted her arm. "You'll get a hug for sure."
She laughed, but her expression quickly turned sympathetic again. "Honey, to be serious, the people here really do care about you. You get that, right?"
"Yeah. I get it." He paused. "And I can't complain after getting a whiff of his cologne."
"Oh my God!" She threw up her hands. "You're such a dick."
Joel chuckled. Okay, so maybe coming to this munch hadn't been a bad idea. He already felt better than he had recently. And that spicy cologne sure as hell hadn't hurt.
People started shuffling around to make room for the new arrivals, and Andre sat down.
Right across from Joel.
Oh fuck.
Joel stumbled his way through ordering his lunch even though he wasn't sure he had an appetite anymore. He couldn't decide which was more conspicuous—making eye contact with Andre, or deliberately avoiding it. Hell, he was probably overthinking it. Andre had just taken an available seat. It didn't mean he was focused on or even gave two shits about Joel.
Or . . .
"So, Joel." Andre wrapped his hands around his glass. "You're really done with the scene? Completely?"
Joel nodded, thumbing the label on his beer bottle. "It was fun for a while"—liar, liar, leather pants on fire—"but it turned out the whole kink thing wasn't really for me after all."
"Well," Paul interjected from a few seats over, "who wouldn't be put off after the way Rob treated you?"
Joel pursed his lips. "That's . . . not really what happened, but it—"
"Oh come on." Paul shook his head. "We all saw it, kid."
"I know. He was a dick. But I—"
"So he was the problem, not kink." Paul shrugged. "Maybe you just need to come down this weekend. Get your feet wet again."
Joel avoided his eyes. "No, I think I—"
"You might surprise yourself." Paul wagged a condescending finger at him. "All you need is—"
"What part of 'no' didn't you catch?" Andre said, inching toward his Dom voice.
Joel looked at him, but Andre's gaze was locked on Paul.
"We all saw how Rob treated him," Andre went on, "but that doesn't mean Rob is the reason Joel isn't into it anymore." He glanced at Joel. "This lifestyle isn't for everyone. Pressuring him doesn't make you any better than the people who tell us we're sick." His lips peeled back as he growled, "Back. Off."
Paul muttered an apology and turned to join a different conversation.
Andre glared at the back of his head for a moment before facing Joel again. "Anyway."
"Thanks," Joel said.
"Don't mention it." Andre smiled, and it seemed genuine. "If this isn't your thing, then it isn't your thing. No shame in that."
"Well." Joel shrugged. "It was kind of fun for a while. Sometimes. But it's just not for me."
"Fair enough."
The silence threatened to get very awkward, very quickly, but God bless her, April stepped in. "So I thought I saw on the Facebook group that you were at a workshop for knot work last weekend?"
Andre sat up, grinning like a kid. "Yeah. Just got back from Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday."
"Fort—" April straightened. "You mean Master King's workshop?"
He nodded. "Yeah. I try to go every year."
"I would kill to go to one of those." She leaned her elbows on the table and put her chin on her hands. "How was his shibari demo? Is it as cool in person as it is in the videos?"
"Oh." Andre put a hand to his chest. "Amazing. Just amazing. The videos don't show the half of it. I can't wait to try out some of those new techniques."
Joel smothered a laugh—he was surprised April hadn't started drooling.
"When you do," she said, "can I please come watch?"
"Watch?" Andre's grin turned wicked, and now it was Joel who almost started drooling. Oblivious to the idiot across from him, Andre leaned closer to April. "I still need someone to tie up. Which begs the question—you coming to the dungeon tomorrow night?"
Her lips parted. "Uh-huh." It came out as a two-syllable squeak.
Joel barely kept himself from snorting. It was a miracle April hadn't had an orgasm right then and there. She was as subby as the day was long, and a bondage junkie, and she had as much of a crush on Andre as Joel did. Being his volunteer for a bondage scene was most of her fantasies come to life.
She cleared her throat. "Are you serious?"
Andre nodded. "Sure. Half the reason I came here today was to see if anybody wanted to volunteer to be tied up tomorrow night."
April shivered. Under the table, she pressed her thighs together. "Uh, yes, please?"
God. Joel was done with kink, but he had to admit, he was jealous as hell right then. Forget the ropes—he wanted Andre's hands on him.
Then she scowled. "Except . . ." Her shoulders dropped. "Shit. Bill is traveling this week, and he won't be back until Monday. I don't like playing with someone new when he's not here unless I have someone there to keep an eye on things, you know?" She put up a hand. "No offense."
"No, no. None taken." He waved his hand, though his tone was tinged with disappointment. "I wouldn't ask you to scene without someone there you know you can trust."
April's eyes darted toward Joel.
Then Andre's did.
Joel glanced back and forth between them. He sat up straighter. "What?"
April tilted her head and batted her eyes. "Joel . . . sweetie . . ."
He blinked.
Andre cleared his throat. "Well, he doesn't have to come down to the dungeon. I mean, if it's not your thing . . ."
"But you don't mind watching, right?" she asked Joel. Her expression hardened subtly. Just enough for him to notice. They'd been friends long enough that her message came through loud and clear: If I don't get to scene with Andre tomorrow night because of you, there will be hell to pay.
And the penny dropped—she'd planned this. She'd been trying to drag him out of the house for weeks, but she'd really been after him for the last week or so to come to this particular munch. Because she knew Andre would be here. And everybody knew Andre would be raring to go for some bondage after he came back from a Master King workshop.
Admittedly, Joel was impressed. It was a simple, elegant plan—bring him out of the house, get him in with the group at a munch, soften him up a little, then ask him to come watch her get tied up by the man of both their dreams.
He glared at her. She batted her eyes again. He didn't know which favor she was calling in this time, but God knew he owed her a few. And though the dungeon was the last place in the world he wanted to be, the thought of going strictly as a spectator and to make sure April was okay . . . He could handle that.
Hell, what did he have to lose? Besides, Andre was pretty hot when he was doing a scene.
"If I go," he said, "it's one hundred percent clear I'm just there to watch, right? To make sure she's okay?"
"Of course," Andre said quickly. "And if anyone gives you shit, you let me know."
April nodded. "Exactly."
Joel shrugged. "Well, I do like to watch. So . . . sure. Why not?"
"Yay!" April threw her arms around him and hugged him, nearly knocking him and his beer out of his chair. "Thank you, sweetie."
He chuckled. "Anytime."
He looked across the table.
Andre was looking right back at him.
And grinning.
And suddenly, for the first time in a long time, Joel was excited to spend an evening at the dungeon.
Chapter 2
"Now I see why you dragged me along today."
"What ever do you mean?" April glanced at Joel from the driver's seat and flashed him a grin.
Laughing, he rolled his eyes. "You know, you could've just said 'I want you to come to the dungeon and supervise while Andre ties me up.'"
"But you would've said no."
"Not if you told me Andre would be involved."
April sighed, and the humor faded slightly. "Listen, I know you. And I know you would have agreed to go, but you wouldn't have liked it." She shrugged. "So I thought if you came and hung out with everybody and realized they care about you and are happy to see you, you wouldn't be so uncomfortable."
He studied her. "You do know me."
"Manipulative bitch," he muttered.
She smacked his leg playfully. "Come on now. You owe me anyway."
"Oh yeah? So which favor are you cashing in to drag my ass to the dungeon to watch Andre play Dom on your ass?"
April pursed her lips. "Hmm." She tapped her long nails on the steering wheel as she slowed to a stop at a red light. "Okay, how about that time I babysat Cinnamon for a week and a half, and you didn't tell me that by 'French bulldog' you meant 'starving woodchuck'?"
"Oh come on. It wasn't that bad."
"I had to replace my coffee table!"
Joel smothered a laugh. "Yes, but to be fair, the new one is much nicer than the one she ate."
She shot him a glare, and he put up his hands.
"All right! All right!" He chuckled. "We'll call it even."
"That's what I thought." She paused. "And also to be fair, I'm giving you an excuse to be in a room with a hot, sweaty, and undoubtedly hard Andre for an evening."
"Oh. Gee. Thanks. Because I'm sure he'll even notice I'm there while he's busy tying you up."
"Honey." She giggled. "I don't know how much attention you've paid to Mr. Andre, but scening with someone turns that boy on something fierce."
"Yeah? And?"
April groaned. "And he's gay, Joel. He'll tie me up, whip me till I can't move, and then we both know he'll be in the mood to fuck, but I'm not qualified for that position." She glanced at him and winked. "Which is where you come in, sweet cheeks."
Joel gulped. The light turned green, and April pulled through the intersection as Joel's head spun. She was right, wasn't she? Andre didn't always include sex in his scenes. Whenever he finished a sexless scene, though, he had an unmistakable gleam in his eye, and Joel had envied the occasional lucky bastard who happened to be loitering nearby and took Andre up on his advances.
The occasional lucky bastard who was also hot and kinky.
Joel's heart sank. "You're assuming he'd be interested in me."
"Um, yeah." She glanced at him, eyebrows quirked like he'd lost his mind. "Why wouldn't he be?"
He sighed. "Can we talk about why he would be? I think that list might be shorter."
"Honey. Honey." She pushed out a breath and patted his thigh. "Regardless of what your weasel ex-boyfriend and your dented self-esteem have told you, you are very attractive."
He shot her a side-eye.
She met his gaze, then looked out the windshield again. "Whatever. Just show up tomorrow and we'll let nature take its course. 'Kay?"
"Mm-hmm. And let's say Andre the Horndog is into me for some reason—how long do you think that'll last? Until his post-scene hard-on is taken care of."
"So what? Hook up with him. Have a good time. Remind yourself that there is life and sex after Rob. Doesn't mean you're gonna start dating the guy."
He shifted in his seat. "So just let him use me for a night?"
"And you wouldn't be using him too?"
"Hmm. Hadn't thought of it like that."
"A booty call, baby," she said. "You scratch my male G-spot, I'll scratch—"
He burst out laughing. "No, let's not scratch that, thank you very much."
"You know what I mean. And come on—you've had one-night stands before."
"Yeah, but . . ." Well, she had a point. He'd had more than a few one-night stands before Rob, and had recently been trying to talk himself into having more just to prove that sex was as fun as he remembered it to be. Why would it be any different with Andre? And for that matter, if he did get a night with Andre, that might pull a dent out of his self-esteem and give him a tiny glimmer of hope that he could be desirable to a portion, however small, of the male population. Andre got a post-scene orgasm. Joel got to feel like someone wanted to be naked with him. Everybody won.
"Okay. You've convinced me. Let's do this."
April laughed—more like cackled. "I knew you'd see things my way."
He just chuckled.
Is it tomorrow night yet?

ON THE MOVE | Trends for florists wholesale
Autumn 2019 and spring 2020 have already been given shape with the help of trend watchers. Director Nancy van Kleef is in charge of staying on top of trends for FleuraMetz. Together with her team, she translates these trends into practical concepts for the floriculture. See what we can expect over the course of the year:
"This might be my most favourite part of the job, working with trends and put together a product range based on these trends. I don't do this alone, my team and I rely on the knowledge and skills of different trend watchers."
Local flowers and plants
"There are trend watchers, who describe general developments and movements that influence buying behaviours. A good example is the current interest for local products. It comes from a deeper longing inside: to be part of a group or neighbourhood where one feels safe."
Some trend watchers work with shapes, colours and materials that arise from these trends, Nancy explains: "There are also different specialisms per industry. There is a trend watcher, who specialises on interior design and a trend watcher, who solely focuses on flowers and plants."
"All this information is quite overwhelming. Twice a year, we focus on this subject so that we can translate them into FleuraMetz trend charts and a new FleuraMetz selection. FlowerTales is the label of FleuraMetz, where all new products and ideas are always available first."
"Keep in mind however, that 'new' isn't always suitable for everyone right away. Sometimes it's better for a region, shop or florist to tap in on new colours and shape at a later time. The FlowerTales collection and storytelling is always up-to-date and is suitable for both trend followers and trendsetters. Therefore, we always start the process by assembling the new colours, shapes and materials."
"Once we have specified these, we call out what we expect to see in the collections of flowers, plants and sundries. This work method ensures that there is always cohesion between the four styles, which we create each year."
Purchasing the new selection
With the new styles ready and at hand, we visit our suppliers. Nancy: "This was again a feast the past few months! With our colour charts in one hand and a description of the expected materials/shapes in the other, we searched for the most beautiful products. I can't say too much yet but lucky for me, a picture says more than a thousand words!"
When can I get them?
The collections are available in the web shop as of September 2019. The products are listed and available under a specific style through the FlowerTales packages.
More about the trends for 2020 soon.

Do I need a Chimney Cap?
Chimney caps are essential chimney products that serve several purposes. Capping a chimney prohibits destruction on the inside from elements such as snow and rain. Using a chimney cap also prevents fire sparks from escaping from the chimney and landing on the roof and they also keep birds, squirrels and other animals from nesting inside of the chimney or entering the home through the chimney.

Foam Roofing
There are an incredible variety of roofing options available for homes and commercial businesses. Finding the right material and roofing contractor guarantees you get the right roof for your needs and a flawless installation. For elemental protection and affordable pricing, many residents prefer foam roofing in Cave Creek. At Geo Roofing we can help you explore these benefits and determine if a foam roof is your best option.
What is foam roofing?
The foam used in this roofing material is made of polyurethane. Our technicians use special sprayers and mixers to deliver it right to your rooftop. SPF roofing has existed since the 60's, making it a relatively modern technology. It hasn't existed long enough to determine an average lifespan, but many foam roofs that were originally applied 5o years ago are still in use today. This makes them a very sound investment when installed by professionals.
Foam roofers with a difference.
Many foam roofing contractors in Cave Creek turn to sub-contracting in order to reduce costs. They hire workers that may not have the skills, certifications, or experience to deliver on their promises of quality. That risk is transferred to the customer. Not only that, the money saved by the contractor is rarely passed back to the consumer. You're left with compromised work and a falsely inflated cost.
Geo Roofing uses In-House Workers!
Our company backs their installations with a dedicated team of in-house roofers. Every employee undergoes background checks and skill tests before hiring. We know our roofers personally, we know their skill sets, and we utilize our craftsmen to the best of their abilities. This provides you with a better roof installation. Enjoy the benefits of your roof. Choose the company that never sub-contracts for foam roofing.
Benefits of Foam Roofing Include:
- Heat and sun protection – Foam roofing installations are an ideal way to reduce energy costs by up to 30%. They have a high thermal resistance that is greater than modified bitumen, rubber, and even asphalt.
- No leaking – Cave Creek buildings with foam roofing are almost completely leak resistant. Foam roofing fills up every nook and cranny in addition to self-flashing.
- Low maintenance – Spray roofing doesn't take much to upkeep. It's durable, waterproof, insulates well, and lasts upwards of 50 years. This makes it an incredibly green option.
- Total affordability – A foam roof is very affordable. It's priced roughly the same as single ply roofing, but lasts much longer. These savings add up over time when you factor in energy savings as well.
Contact us for foam roofing installation in Cave Creek!
We take every step to provide you with the highest quality, longest lasting professionally installed foam roof. All procedures are carried out by fully vetted, skilled, local tradesmen and technicians you can rely on. Get affordability and protection in one package. Call or contact us today.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, also called the NAACP, is an organization that deals with issues of equality and primarily addresses cases of discrimination and similar instances. This includes not only African-Americans, but also women and other minorities. The main goal of the NAACP is to stop unfair discrimination. If you need legal assistance from the organization to help you with a matter at hand, often the NAACP can help you or point you in the right direction.
Step 1
Contact your local NAACP branch. Visit NAACP.org and click the "Find Your Local Unit" option.
Step 2
Enter your city and state and click the "Search" button.
Step 3
Call your local branch, and let a representative know you are looking for legal help. Explain your situation, and you will be put in contact with someone who can provide legal assistance. Depending on your situation, the NAACP may assist you at no charge, or you may be put in contact with a lawyer who will require a fee for services.

The Smashing WordPress Themes book is obviously the one solution for all your theming needs, but even if you don't feel advanced enough as a user to build themes from the ground up yourself you can benefit. You see, in the wake of the book three new themes will be released. One is called Simple Pfolio and I thought I'd post a screenshot snapped sometime along the road.
It is a 3.0+ theme and will be available for free soon enough. For now, this is all you'll get.

PINE AND SPRUCE WOODWORKING PANELS (Scandinavian Wood )
It is about wooden panels which are applying inside and outside the building shells.
Woodworking panels are imported from Scandinavian countries. The grades vary depending on the use. They are known for their common knots but the size and quality vary according to part of the tree from which the boards are converted. It should be noted that the wood is subject to drying in order to ensure effective processing and according to customer requirements it can bring color layers or preservatives.

Part of a large family farm in Virginia's hunt country, this home renovation project required a design that removed previous additions and built new ones that would be more in keeping with the original style of the house. This 1818 stone farmhouse has a recognizable center hall, two over two plan, to which were added twin white clapboard wings that are linked by a transverse hall along the back of the original structure.
Two salvaged archways from the late Federal home were placed opposite one another in the transverse hall to mark the entry to each addition. Other reclaimed materials, including hand carved wainscoting, heart pine flooring, cast iron radiators, and porcelain plumbing fixtures, were used for convey a continuity of style. The result is a reinvigorated home design with a period narrative that embodies the stewardship of this family heirloom.

BRISTOL, R.I.-Senior Devonte Weems tallied a team-high 12 points and hit the eventual game-winner with just 28 seconds to play to rally the Coast Guard men's basketball team from a nine point halftime deficit and get the Bears their first win of the season on Saturday afternoon at Roger Williams, 66-65.
Coast Guard (1-3) trailed by as many as 16 at 30-14 with 6:37 to play in the first half. The Bears would use a 12-3 run to cut the deficit to just seven at 33-26 with 1:04 to play in the first before heading into the break trailing 35-26. Adrian Chuquillangui (8 points, 3 of 3 shooting) made a pair of threes during the run while junior Eli Sponseller (11 points, 5 of 10 shooting) added a pair of baskets after sophomore Ricky Rodriguez (7 points, 3 of 6 shooting) got things going with a layup with 6:14 to play.
In the second half Roger Williams (0-4), led by Chris Bardwell (14 points) and his game-high 11 rebounds, would push the lead to as many as 12 (44-32) with 16:43 to play but Coast Guard kept fighting back. The Bears would score the next ten points with Sponseller again keying the run with a pair of field goals.
After having to play catch-up since the 14:25 mark of the first half, Coast Guard would finally tie things up with a layup by sophomore Ryan McNeil (7 points, 3 of 4 shooting) with 5:23 to play, just the second tie of the game. A minute and 23 seconds later McNeil would give Coast Guard their first lead of the game at 60-57 with a three-point field goal.
Following a turnover with 56 seconds to play, junior Joseph Henry (12 points) scored a layup for Roger Williams to knot the game at 64-64 before making the and-one foul shot to give the Hawks the lead at 65-64 with just 53 seconds to play.
On the next Coast Guard possession Weems would hit what would prove to be the game winning basket off of an assist from senior John Benedict (5 points, 2 of 3 shooting). In addition to his 12 points, Weems would also add five rebounds and a game-best five assists.
Junior David Anderson joined Sponseller and Weems in double figures with 10 points and added four rebounds and three assists. Sophomore Mark Krebs grabbed a team-best seven rebounds while chipping in with four points (2 of 6 shooting).
For the game Coast Guard shot 53.7 percent (29-54) including 30.8 percent (4-13) from three-point range. Roger Williams was held to just 36.9 percent shooting (24-65) including 24 percent (6-25) from deep but enjoyed an advantage at the charity stripe, making 11 of 14 attempts (78.6 percent) compared to Coast Guard who was 4 of 7 (57.1 percent). The Bears held a 38-31 rebounding edge but turned it over 12 times compared to Roger Williams' two turnovers.
Freshman Josh Syska joined Bardwell and Henry in double-figures for Roger Williams with 12 points on 4 of 7 shooting from the field.
With the victory, Coast Guard snaps a five-game losing streak to the Hawks that dated back to the 2008/09 season. Coast Guard is now 18-6 against Roger Williams since records are available (c. 1988/89).
Head Coach Kevin Jaskiewicz was very happy with his team's play all-around and noted a couple of players in particular. "We got great leadership from our seniors. Ryan (McNeil) and Devonte (Weems) hit two big shots," before adding, "I'm proud of how resilient we were in this game."
Coast Guard returns to action on Tuesday, November 23rd when they host Salve Regina at 5:30 pm.

Whether or not you want to promote a single job rapidly and simply or search among greater than 10.5 million candidates on our CV database, totaljobs will help you. After a small dip in 2010, jobs elevated in a flurry by way of early 2012, with a little bit of fluctuation. If among the data is missing or if some percentages and some numbers are used, then the 5 jobs titles might be put into any order and a reader might assume that the first listed is the quickest increasing job. Graduates from any stream may apply for retail management postgraduate diplomas or levels.
On the identical time, we might even see a 2% enhance in one job title that represents a higher NUMBER of jobs than a ten% enhance in another (Instance: 2% of 518, 000 = 51,800, while 10% of four,200 = 420. The highest jobs and the most effective opportunities total are for people that full a school diploma, from 2-12 months degrees to advanced and skilled degrees, together with openings in Administration, IT, and Teaching career fields.
Public and Non-public Elementary & Secondary Colleges (Grades Pre-K-12) = No less than 13% of whole new jobs in Texas projected by 2020, whole over 1,996,000 jobs from 2008 – 2018. These positions cover miscellaneous administration not damaged out into separate categories by the Labor Department. Retail management, subsequently, covers all points of a retailer's administration and can result in nice potentialities for the correct worker.
Not that I'm in search of jobs in Manhattan, nor do I qualify for any of these scorching ones, however the fact that Manhattan has so many large-scale green projects is really encouraging! Because of the travel, exterior sales jobs would require more hours of labor to get the job finished. Neighborhood Service Manager – Social services became excessive demand in the course of the Nice Recession and with the getting old populations among Child Boomers and Generation X, together with low incomes, tghese providers have spawned further Community Based Organizations that need effective administration.
Nevertheless, all the Healthcare and IT Trade Jobs will proceed to grow in the same method by means of at the very least 2022 and on to 2050 due to the growing older population, growing population that features youngsters and longer-lived elderly, and advances in Aerospace and Aviation Technologies/Privatized Space Flight that produce projects corresponding to Mission to Mars, Area Vacations, and more.

Being productive won't guarantee a move up the corporate ladder - and might even work against you.
You think that if you put in extra hours and meet your deadlines, you'll eventually be considered for a promotion or a raise.
But being productive doesn't guarantee you a promotion and it can actually work against you, especially if you're too good.
Jeffrey Pfeffer, author of Power: Why Some People Have It and Others Don't, says that performance matters less than you might imagine because it "has many different dimensions" and "what matters to your boss may not be the same things that you think are important."
In the book, Pfeffer offers a scenario where bosses were not willing to promote their employees because they see them as "extremely effective in their current position" and don't want to lose them in that specific role. Furthermore, they might not want to "to do anything that would bring [you] to the attention of others and thereby, risk losing [you]."
The only way to ensure that your competence in your job will be fairly evaluated is if you get noticed and are able to manage your own superiors — without them knowing it.
"You need to be noticed, influence the dimensions used to measure your accomplishments, and mostly make sure you are effective at managing those in power — which requires the ability to enhance the ego of those above you."
This is because your relationship with those in power is critical to your own success, and you should worry about this relationship as much as you worry about your job performance. In fact, you should be careful when delivering bad news to your manager, so that they don't associate the negative feeling that follows that news with you.
Pfeffer says that by broadening your influences and "managing up," you are displaying your own powers over your superiors.
"Your driving ambitions and even your great performance are not going to be sufficient to assure success in a typical hierarchical organisation. The people responsible for your success are those above you, with the power to either promote you block your rise up the organisation chart. And there are always people above you, regardless of your position."

This class focuses on Lighting Specific Dive Skills that are ESSENTIAL for working underwater. The underwater work of a Lighting Technician is significantly different than what is taught in recreational diving. If you want to work underwater, you must be able to function underwater in a manner that does not disturb the set/environment, clarity of water, other crew members, or potentially harm yourself or other crew members.Some of the skills that we will focus on are: silt-free propulsion; reverse kicks; helicopter turns; precision buoyancy; moving equipment; and hand-holding lights for underwater photography.We also will cover the necessary equipment, whether to provide your own or use gear supplied by production, hypothermia, necessary top-side support, as well as essential safety/rescue gear and personnel that MUST be available when divers are working in the water.Members who wish to learn to be shore support are welcome and encouraged to attend this class. If you wish to work in the water, you MUST be a certified diver and able to pass a basic medical questionnaire or have permission from a physician. The forms are available on the Training728 site.

The Internet Sales Fairy giveth and she taketh away. Seriously, sales disappeared after the spectacular weekend, just poof, gone. I am going to take a leap and guess folks are waiting for the weekend and its potential sales to do any more shopping. That being the case I may launch a weekend sale a little early, but it's five in the morning right now and I really haven't made any solid decisions about that. If I do, I'll tweet it and edit the post here to add the coupon code at the bottom.
Thank you for all your comments and opinions yesterday. I really appreciate that there wasn't a lot of placating, just honest opinions. In the end I think that I will leave what is up, up and perhaps be a little more cautious when I offer something new as a pattern. I know that those who maybe aren't ready to sell will either give up quickly or get better quickly and those that are ready to sell will likely embrace designing themselves, so it really should cause me too much worry. It was also suggested that I write up a book of patterns for sale. Actually that has been suggested to me before and I always have the same response, not now. There are a lot of reasons for that of course, one I am no pattern writing genius, sure they make sense to me, but... and I have zero illustration skills. I still do have all that homeschooling, raising small kids and housework and being a bit of a perfectionist means that if I can't devote all my energy to something, I'm not going to bother. I also worry that even with a personal use clause that people will make the assumption that because they bought something they bought all uses of it. This, unfortunately, is a prevailing opinion, so for the time being, there will be no patterns to sell, but I am greatly flattered by everyone who suggests that I even could.
I have also been getting more questions in my formspring box lately and one of them was regarding an edging pattern that was referred to by someones Grandmother as 'bow and arrow'. I haven't a clue what that might be and since there are so few patterns with established and accepted names like hen and chicks, I thought I'd ask if any of you out there know what that might refer to so I can shuttle the answer back.Get it, shuttle? No? Did I mention it was five in the morning?
I did spend much of yesterday remaking the weekend sales and cleaning...lots of cleaning. The husband is off today, so there will be more cleaning and unless those sales pick up, not a lot of tatting. Though I did print out Jane's flurry snowflake pattern to play with. She keeps making more of them and they are so cute and, well I have never tatted a snowflake for my own tree, so if those sales can wait a day, I think I might see if I can figure that one out on the needle and make myself something for once.

i agree that a book would be a pain in the butt to write but what about a dvd with beginning techniques? it would be easier to do then a book and as a newbe myself i think it would be easier to follow and learn from. i don't want to steal your patterns but beginning shapes and concepts would help us earn and develop our own

I agree with Jen ^ A DVD is a great idea
much easier than a book on both sides
