Take 6 is an American a cappella gospel music sextet formed in 1980 on the campus of Oakwood College in Huntsville, Alabama.[1] The group sings in a contemporary style, integrating R&B and jazz influences into their devotional songs and has ten Grammy wins, ten Dove Awards, one Soul Train Award and two NAACP Image Award nominations. They have won Grammy Awards in 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1994, 1997, and 2002, and have collaborated with other artists such as Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Don Henley, Ray Charles, Queen Latifah, Joe Sample, Quincy Jones, Marcus Miller, Brian McKnight, Gordon Goodwin, k.d. lang, Luis Miguel, Ben Tankard, Al Jarreau, and CeCe Winans.
In 1980, Claude McKnight (older brother of R&B musician Brian McKnight) formed an a cappella quartet, The Gentlemen's Estates Quartet, at Oakwood College (now Oakwood University), a Seventh-day Adventist university in Huntsville, Alabama, where he was a freshman. He auditioned fellow students for the hobby group. The Gentlemen were rehearsing in a campus bathroom (later said to be in Moran Hall), getting ready for a performance, when Mark Kibble heard them singing. He joined the harmonizing, adding a fifth part, and ended up singing with them onstage that very night.[2] Mark later invited Mervyn Warren to join the group. The group performed under the moniker Alliance.
The group performed in local churches and on campus over the next years, with members changing due to college's inevitable comings and goings. In 1985, the lower half of the group (bass, baritone, and second tenor) left upon graduating. At that time, Alvin Chea, Cedric Dent, and David Thomas joined.
The group was signed to Warner Brothers in 1987, and quickly changed its name to Take 6 after a name search revealed Alliance was in use. Their eponymous debut album, released in 1988, won them two Grammy Awards and resulted in top ten appearances on both the Billboard Contemporary Jazz and Contemporary Christian Charts. Their swinging, harmony-rich sound attracted much attention; the group went on to record or appear with a number of luminaries, including Quincy Jones, Ella Fitzgerald, and Stevie Wonder, to name a few. They recorded for the soundtracks of Dick Tracy, Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing, Boyz n the Hood, and the theme song to the TV series Martin. They earned performances on Saturday Night Live, the Oscars, and the Grammys, and have had the honor of performing for four U.S sitting Presidents, including the Democratic National Convention.
In 1991, after the release of their second album, So Much 2 Say, Mervyn Warren left the group to pursue a career as a producer. Joey Kibble, Mark's younger brother, was invited to round out the vocal lineup. The group added instrumentation to their purely a cappella sound beginning with the record, He Is Christmas. Join The Band and Brothers continued their Grammy streak. Take 6's 1998 release, So Cool, brought the group back to its a cappella origins.
In 2006 the group launched Take 6 Records; Feels Good the first album on their new label, was released the same year.
In 2007, they recorded a duet with Eros Ramazzotti in his cd E² ("Eros al quadrato") singing backing vocals to the song Un attimo di pace.
In 2008, Take 6 released The Standard, which was a first time voyage for the group into a more traditional Jazz repertoire. The Standard, a critically hailed success, garnered three more Grammy nominations providing them the distinct honor of being the most Grammy nominated vocal group in history.
The group's home-base is Nashville, Tennessee, with two members residing in Los Angeles.[3] All original members grew up Seventh-day Adventist.[1]

The original bright-hued location of Jack's Cosmic Dogs on Highway 17 in Mt. Pleasant has won over a constellation of fans, including Food Network star Alton Brown, who declared the Cosmic Dog one of best things he's ever eaten. With glass bottles of soda on ice and an old-style soft-serve ice cream machine, it's a pitch-perfect throwback to a lost era of roadside hot dog stands. There's even a creaky screen door on the front. Alton's favorite, the Cosmic Dog, has blue cheese slaw and sweet potato mustard, while the Astro Dog is topped with onion relish and spicy yellow mustard. The dogs themselves are top-notch, and they're served on seeded deli rolls instead of plain white buns. Combine a chili-cheese Orbit City Dog with a side of handcut fries and a longneck Sundrop, and you'll have a genuine roadside classic. —Robert Moss (Dish, Summer 2019)
Nine varieties of hot dogs, including the Cosmic and the Galactic Dog. Voted Best Hot Dog by CP readers.

Flagler County Sheriff's deputies apprehended a Port Orange man who fled from Volusia County deputies early this morning, but not before the man drove his vehicle into a patrol car.
Ronald A. Pinkerton, 68, is charged with aggravated fleeing and eluding, aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer and aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer after he intentionally rammed his vehicle into a Flagler County Sheriff's deputy's patrol car.
The incident started around 2:05 a.m. in Flagler County when the Volusia County Sheriff's Office reported Pinkerton had fled from them in his 1988 Ford van around 1:45 a.m. Volusia deuties reported the man's van was traveling between 40 and 50 mph, driving erractically and ran a red light.
Several motorist had to take action to avoid a collision with Pinkerton. The Port Orange Police Department was the first law enforcement agency to attempt to stop him. Pinkerton also failed to stop for Holly Hill and Ormond Beach Police Officers as he continued north on U.S. 1.
Volusia County deputies followed Pinkerton into Flagler County on U.S. 1 where Flagler deputies joined the effort to stop him. Flagler deputies stopped traffic at intersections with U.S. 1 and deployed stop sticks, but Pinkerton continued to drive the vehicle with two flat tires. Deputies reported the traffic at that hour was minimal, and Pinkerton maintained speeds between 40 and 60 mph.
One Flagler deputy maneuvered his patrol car in an attempt to stop the van, but Pinkerton used his van to attempt to collide with the patrol car. When he was unsuccessful in that attempt, Pinkerton then drove his van across the right lane of U.S. 1 and intentionally struck another Flagler patrol car, which had been positioned in the median. The deputy was not injured in the collision, but the patrol car had to be towed.
Pinkerton continued driving north on U.S. 1 until he drove off the road near the Department of Transportation scales north of Palm Coast Parkway. The vehicle became stuck in the soft dirt. Deputies attempted to remove Pinkerton from the vehicle, but he resisted. A Flagler deputy had to deploy his Taser before they were able to remove him from the vehicle and take him into custody.
"This man was intent on doing harm to a law enforcement officer. He is fortunate that he was not severely injured as a result of his actions," said Flagler County Sheriff Donald W. Fleming.
Pinkerton was being held in the Flagler County Inmate Facility Thursday on $36,000 bond. He is facing additional charges from the Volusia County Sheriff's Office of fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer and reckless driving.

- Quinoa Wrap
- 1 cup of dry quinoa, or feel free to use any leftover quinoa you have – Note: This makes up a full batch of quinoa, but I use it up all week in this wrap, as well as other dishes.
- 2 cups filtered water
- 1 15-ounce can of black beans, drained – You will also store any unused black beans for future wraps
- 1 ripe avocado
- 6-8 spinach leaves
- Monterey jack cheese to taste
- feta cheese to taste
- large (9-inch) multi-grain, spinach or gluten free tortilla – You could also skip the tortilla and wrap it in lettuce or collard green, or just mix the quinoa mixture with some spinach leaves
- Avocado-Tahini dip
- 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and diced
- ⅓ cup well stirred tahini – make sure this is a level cup, as too much tahini will overpower the dip
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (approx. 1 lemon)
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, minced
- ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- ¼ cup filtered water
- Peel and dice your avocado, measure out the ⅓ cup tahini, squeeze up your 3 tablespoons lemon juice and wash and mince your cilantro leaves.
- Combine the avocado, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, cilantro and sea salt in a mini prep or food processor and puree until smooth.
- Make sure to scrape down the sides one or two times so that everything gets mixed in. The mixture will be pretty thick and chunky at this point.
- Add in the ¼ cup water and puree again until blended and smooth. The water helps to get the dip to a creamier consistency. Feel free to add a bit more water to get the dip to a consistency that you like. I found that using ¼ cup or splash more was perfect.
- The dip can be stored in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Next, let's make up your quinoa. Bring the 1 cup well-rinsed quinoa and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once the quinoa has come to a boil, give it a stir, cover it, and reduce the heat to simmer. Cook the quinoa until all the water is absorbed, about 10-15 minutes. Note: Please check your package of quinoa for cooking instructions, as they all vary.
- The quinoa is done when it's tender, and you can see the little quinoa curlicues.
- Now, let's assemble the wrap!
- Assembling the wrap is all personal preference. Some of you are going to want huge wraps, and others of you are going to want a smaller wrap. So with that being said, take the amount of quinoa that you want to put in your wrap and put it in a small bowl, add in some black beans and then heat up the quinoa and black bean mixture either via the stove top or microwave.
- Mix in some of the avocado tahini dip to the quinoa and black bean mixture. The amount of avocado-tahini dip you add in is to taste. I like to add in enough to make the quinoa a bit creamy. The more avocado-tahini dip you add, the more flavor the quinoa will have.
- Note: If I'm going to microwave the quinoa mixture, then I just add in the avocado-tahini dip at the same time as the black beans.
- You can heat up your tortilla and melt your cheese anyway you wish. This is just what I do. Get out a tortilla and place it in a dry skillet over medium heat. Add to one-half of the tortilla the Monterey Jack cheese and feta. Flip the other half over like you're making a quesadilla, and let the cheese melt.
- Take the cheesy tortilla and place it on a plate. Top the tortilla with some spinach.
- Add the quinoa mixture and then top it off with some fresh diced avocado.
- Wrap it up like a burrito and enjoy!
- I've also enjoyed this quinoa salad sans the wrap. I've taken the black bean and quinoa mixture and put it in a bowl and topped it with some diced avocado and feta cheese. It's good anyway you eat it really.

Available from http://www.amazon.de/Das-Deutsche-Einheits-Chronometer-Chronometer-Luftwaffe/dp/3868525971 for Euro 69 plus postage. Horological enthusiasts and collectors of marine chronometers produced for the armed forces of major naval powers have long enjoyed access to several in-depth publications: These include texts of global scope, primarily Rupert Gould's: "Marine Chronometer" (1923, republished 1960), and such classics as Hans von Bartle's 1991: "Marine Chronometer – Its History and Development " (originally in German), or Tony Mercer's 1991: "Chronometer Makers of the World", or Marvin Whitney's, "Ship Chronometer", as well as monographs on the role of various countries, including France (books by Bot, 1983 and Parvoulesco, 2010) or Great Britain (various books by Mercer), or Switzerland (Nardin/Fallet, 1994). Until recently, there was not much available documenting the significant history of marine chronometers produced in Germany. Now two major scholarly books on the subject have been published within months of each other, making it inviting to write a combined – and comparative – review. Fortunately, the two titles complement each other nicely with Oestmann covering the time up to World War I, and Altmeppen/Dittrich dealing with the rest of the 20[SUP]th[/SUP] century. (If one wants to get the full chronometric history of Germany one really needs to also include: Oestmann: Heinrich Johann Kessels – An important maker of chronometers and precision pendulum clocks (Heinrich Johann Kessels (1781-1849) – (Ein bedeutender Verfertiger von Chronometern und Präzisionspendeluhren) – the 2011 publication of 274 pages, ISBN 978 3 8171 1884 7, reviewed in this publication in March 2012. Logically, the earlier Oestmann book really should have become a major section of Oestmann's newest book, but separate funding grants from different sources for the underlying research prevented that from happening). All three authors are good and thorough researchers, and their books share a basic approach of presenting the results of their research: Tthey all are 'fact collectors' who excel at unearthing and interpreting historic documents, but none of them are 'storytellers' at heart who excel in – or enjoy - spinning a captivating storyline. It is no coincidence that in all three books at least half of the available pages (and in "Auf dem Weg…" considerably more) are devoted to reproducing the full text of historic source material relevant to the subject, allowing the reader to do more research on his own and drawing new or additional insights from the presented material. * * * * Oestmann's book begins by examining the first German efforts by a few lonely pioneering watchmakers in the second half of the 18[SUP]th[/SUP] and the first decades of the 19[SUP]th[/SUP] century to build seagoing clocks with a performance (steady rate and reliability) adequate to determine longitude at sea. The oldest surviving example, presumably inspired by Harrisons 1767 publication, dates from the 1770s in Bremen: A watchmaker named Johann Georg Thiele built two sea clocks (one of which survives) with a most innovative, but very complicated temperature compensation, and actually took it in 1778 to England in an attempt to win the Longitude prize. H.J. Kessels earliest clocks fall into the same chapter, but given the Kessels monograph mentioned above, which Oestmann published in 2011, the section on Kessels is but a two page synopsis. Other pioneers include J.C.Hanneke in Bremerhaven, F.A. Nobert (better known for his novel dividing engine) in Barth, and C.F Tiede, who eventually settled in Berlin. The next chapter deals with the attitude among German marines – both merchant and military - up to 1871 toward chronometer based navigation. There was significant resistance, much of it based on the significant additional expense for instruments. It is also interesting to note that by 1850 the German Navy had but 6 chronometers on a sample of 11 ships. Germany was clearly lagging significantly behind the UK and France. Only after Germany gradually became a more unified empire in the 1860s, with its own Imperial Navy, was there an effort to create some local capabilities to build, certify and maintain marine chronometers. The 'Deutsche Seewarte' (founded 1867) became a government institution and took over the testing and certification of nautical instruments including chronometers, and its function and procedures are chronicled nicely in the first parts of section V. of the book, which also documents in some detail the trial submissions of early makers (like Petersen, Eppner, Kutter) and their successors (like Schlesicky, Ehrlich, Diedrich, Broecking, Mager, and the earliest A. Lange chronometers); as well as makers of the early 20[SUP]th[/SUP] century (like Lidecke, Wiegard, Kurtz, Jensen, Union Glashütte and Denker). Some names appear throughout the era, such as Knoblich and Kittel. Oestmann also describes the various compensating balances developed by several of these individuals, and the systematic efforts of weaning German makers from procuring some critical components from abroad, especially from the UK. The effort to have marine chronometers built without the use of imported British components became a national security – and sovereignty- issue for Germany, and is a recurring theme throughout this book. Several scientific conferences of the late 19[SUP]th[/SUP] century dealing with chronometers are also chronicled. Section V.8 deals with Denkers first (but failed) effort to turn chronometer making from an individual craft into an industry, while V.9 describes the early efforts to organize an industry wide trade association (the 'Vereinigung für Chronometrie'). This historic narrative takes only about 120 pages of this 500 page book. An astonishing section of about 350 pages is devoted to "Source Materials". Oestmann does not just give us the conclusions of his research, but shares the full text of his evidence with the reader. This reviewer found browsing through that source material just as enjoyable (and as informative) as reading the narrative. The 'Sources' section starts with reproducing the full text (including illustrations) of entries dealing with 'Chronometer' in two major German turn-of the-century reference books: A seven page article by Ambronn from the 1904 edition of Luegers 'Lexikon der … Technik', and a 40-page, 1896 entry on 'The Chronometer' by Stechert in 'Handwörterbuch der Astronomie'. This is followed by a 20 page section with 'Statistical Source Material', an amalgam of regional sources shedding light on how often (or how rarely) chronometers were used on oceangoing German vessels (both steam and sail, merchant and naval) in the second half of the 1800s. A 55- page section reproduces the 38 annual lists of all chronometers submitted (from 1877 to 1914) to the 'Deutsche Seewarte' for trial and certification as a marine chronometer (by makers name and serial number). Excerpts from the order or shipping records of London makers (Kullberg and Mercer) concerning deliveries to Germany take another 40 pages. A miscellany of chronometric documents [including the minutes of the three times (1878, 1887, 1898) a 'Chronometer Konfernz' was convened by German authorities] takes another 40 pages. The bibliography of 450 manuscripts sources and 280 published sources concludes these documentary appendices. * * * * * * * * The history of the German marine chronometer took a break of about 10 years as Germany dealt with the aftermath of loosing World War I in 1918. But after that hiatus Germany soon became the global leader and pioneer of producing these navigation instruments on an industrial scale, rather than based on the efforts of individual craftsmen working in small workshops. That story is told in the second book under review here, by the authors Altmeppen and Dittrich. They key was standardization; the famous 'Deutscher Einheitschronometer' ultimately became the marine timekeeper produced in the highest volume ever. The Hamilton Model 21, the chronometric backbone of the Allied Navies during World War II, of which - according to Whitney – 13'072 units were made, is but a distant 'runner-up' to the 'Deutscher Einheits Chronometer', of which about 58'000 units produced over some 70 years. This astonishing number was achieved mainly thanks to two factors: 1[SUP]st[/SUP]: During the third Reich it was decided early on to standardize chronometer production on one major model, originally known as the "Drei-Pfeiler Chronometer" (the three pillar chronometer), which was then produced by both major chronometer factories in Germany. Beginning in 1942 Wempe in Hamburg started making them, and A. Lange in Glashütte joined about one year later. Together they produced about 2 750 chronometers before the end of World War II. 2[SUP]nd[/SUP]: After the war, production of this model continued in significant numbers at three different locations: Initially Lange was forced to produce in Glashütte about 275 Chronometers for the Soviet occupying force. In addition, the Russian authorities confiscated - as "war spoils" - a complete set of construction drawings from the Lange factory in Glashütte, and in 1949 set up a production line at the Poljot factory in Moscow, which in the following 50 years produced about 50'000 chronometers based on the German design. Furthermore, the Wempe workshops in Hamburg, between 1948 and the present, have built an additional 4'700 marine chronometers of that design for the West German military and other customers, bringing the grand total to about 58'000 units. The book under review is the first thorough effort to assemble records, images and documentary evidence relating to these timekeepers. The authors have not only followed the extensive paper and documentary trails in Hamburg, Berlin, Glashütte and Moscow, but have carefully examined over 50 surviving chronometers, documenting minute variances over time in the physical artifacts as the serial numbers increase. The interests and personal expertise of the two co-authors complement each other, as Dittrich is an eminent historian of horological history in Glashütte, while Altmeppens focus is the post World War II horological output of the Soviet Union. One of the lesser known facts described in the book concerns the impact of the 'Russian German Non-aggression Treaty' of August 1939 on German chronometer production in 1940 and (up to June 2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) 1941. The promise of Germany to sell marine chronometers to the Soviets, which was part of the treaty, absorbed a significant part of the German chronometer production capacity during the time that the standard chronometer was developed. Pages 79 to 90 provide a very detailed, richly illustrated description of the 'standard' chronometer and all its components and parts, and the next 15 pages describe variations and special purpose instruments. The production records for the war years survive nearly complete, for both Lange and Wempe, as do the detailed 'regelage' notes, i.e. the testing, adjustment and performance records of individual timekeepers (and some of those documents are excerpted in the Appendix). The role of component suppliers (dials, cases, etc) is also discussed, as are modifications that became necessary when raw materials became scarce (no more gilding of plates for corrosion protection). In another chapter, the more improvised production from 1943 on to the end of the war is described, which utilized also forced labor from territories occupied by Germany, and a decentralized setting spread over numerous buildings, including a contemporary description noting "Assembly: in the former Café of the railroad station, 14 workers, incl. 4 women and 2 Russians [i.e. prisoners of war forced to produce German war materials]". The last chapter describes how the design and knowhow moved from Glashütte to Moscow in the postwar years (although Glashütte continued some production locally for the East German military until the collapse of the East German state) and the further product development by the Soviets. While this book (all text is only in German) provides a narrative of the history of the 'German Einheitschronometer', some of that story may be difficult to follow for those not fluent in that language. But the main value for the non-German reader are probably the 61 very sharp photographic images, and the 80 original historic documents reproduced in this book, plus the four documentary appendices. * * *. Reviewing books published in German for a periodical addressing an English speaking audience presumably has some benefit even for readers who will never buy a foreign language book. Just reading the content synopsis will provide a quick overview over a hereto unfamiliar corner of horological scholarship. But some readers may actually be considering acquiring the book, which raises the question to what extent such publications can be somewhat accessible – and useful – to readers not all that familiar with the German language. Of course richly illustrated books (like Altmeppen/Dittrich) present less of a hurdle than those focusing primarily on text (like Oestmann). But even books relying mainly on words can be useful if much of the information is in the form of lists or tables. Other elements to consider are: Are you a specialist in the subject matter? If yes, deciphering a text is a lot easier than if you are entering a new field, and if you have access to internet based translation software, that at times may be helpful as well. Marine Chronometers (together with precision pendulum clocks for observatories) are the technological holy grail of horology. The absence of a serious scholarly history of that sector for one of the great horological countries was a disgrace that has now been remedied. For that I am most thankful. But I am painfully aware that this did not happen automatically. Publishing this type of carefully researched, well produced important books on a relatively specialized subject is not a moneymaker, and it happens only if all elements line up just right: a dedicated and knowledgeable author, a publisher willing to assume some risk, and a fund granting agency partially underwriting the effort. Hopefully, enough enthusiast of horological history will purchase the book to assure more books like these will bet written and published in the future. Fortunat F.

The project sponsor needed to know that key stakeholders were aligned on project business objectives
Given the high stakes nature of mega-projects, it is critical that key stakeholders and executives are aligned on project business objectives. Competing interests and varied understandings between the project team and key project stakeholders (i.e., operations) can lead to sub-optimal results. This owner wanted to ensure early alignment on why the company was doing the project and what the critical value drivers would be for project decision-making.
Westney facilitated an executive level alignment process for members of the project steering team
We evaluated the level of alignment among members of the steering team through individual interviews and in-depth survey techniques. Results were presented to the steering team, and a discussion was facilitated to close any potential gaps.
Deliverables for this engagement included:
»In-depth survey on the perceived importance of key value drivers
»Detailed report on the level of alignment in key areas for the project steering team
»An aligned narrative from the steering team regarding project value drivers to guide project decision-making
»Recommendations for addressing any potential governance issues
The steering team was able to provide clear guidance to the project team to support aligned decision-making
Vetting the potential trade-offs between key value drivers before the project was going full-bore gave the project team the ability to move forward with confidence in day-to-day project decisions, and greatly reduced the likelihood that internal conflicts would later paralyze the project.
For more information on our work in this area, you can read about our approach to aligning project stakeholders.

FINAL SCORE: Earlham 10, Alma 7
LOCATION: Richmond, Ind. (Darrell Beane Stadium)
RECORDS: Earlham 1-0, Alma 0-1
THE SHORT STORY: A seven-goal outburst from first year midfielder Claudette Roskamp and three more from junior middie Emma Lady lifted the Quakers past visiting Alma College.
- Roskamp notched three goals in the first half and four more in the second half to pace the Quakers offensively. She recorded Earlham's first goal of the game at the 24:39 mark of the opening frame.
- Roskamp scored two more goals over the final four minutes of the first half, giving the Quakers a 4-2 lead at the intermission.
- After another Roskamp strike six seconds into the second half to put the Quakers in front, 5-2, Alma responded with three straight goals, including two by Tori Basso, to knot the game at 5-5.
- Roskamp and Basso traded markers to advance the score to 6-6, and Roskamp's sixth goal of the night, with 14:27 left in the second half, put Earlham into the lead, 7-6.
- Lady tacked on the next two goals for the Quakers, stretching Earlham's advantage to 9-6. Roskamp notched her seventh of the night with 5:34 left in the game, giving the Maroon and White a 10-6 margin.
- Alma scored in the final minute of play to end Earlham's four-goal run.
- Sophomore Becca Belcher, making her first appearance in goal, stopped seven of the 14 shots on goal she faced.
- Earlham outshot Alma, 33-18, and the Quakers had a 22-11 advantage in ground balls.
- The Quakers played with only 11 players throughout the contest, after one player was sidelined due to injury and another had to miss the game due to an academic conflict.
- The win was Earlham's fourth-straight victory dating back to last season, when the Quakers closed out the 2018 campaign with wins over Westminster (Pa.), Franklin, and Waynesburg.
- First-year Head Coach Lindsey Grundfast picked up her first collegiate coaching victory in Friday night's contest. Grundfast, who served as an assistant coach for the Quakers in 2018, was promoted to the head job this past summer.
Earlham women's lacrosse hosts Muskingum University on Thursday, Feb. 28, at 5:00 p.m. at Darrell Beane Stadium.

⚡flash review ⚡
A snapshot of how people are finding you online
packed into a 15-minute walk-through video,
and a 15-minute call to review together & answer your questions.
Book now for only $197
I can't believe how amazing this 15-minute video was. Meg fit so much compelling info into such a quick evaluation.
I'm about to head off to meet with my client, and I feel super equipped to have a really powerful conversation. Meg truly is a superhero.
Meg walked through the traffic on my site, made sense of the data that I don't understand, and confirmed some hunches I had (that she could back up with data).
Meg explained not just what she saw in the data, but why it was happening and what it meant for my business.
I was afraid I'd be overwhelmed, but after watching this video, I understand my website so much better … and I get to exhale because Meg gave me real talk about what I need to do next (and what I can ignore).
So how does this work?
- You fill out the form below
- I'll send you a link to sign a contract and invoice
- I'll also send a short questionnaire to find out exactly what you're struggling with (so I can pinpoint the data to answer your questions)

1-2 updates you can make TODAY to make yourself more findable
Most of the time, this is a suggestion to improve your highest performing page or blog, to help it drive even more traffic to your site.
A low-commitment way to try each other out!
It's hard for either of us to know if you need SEO support before I actually get into the weeds & take a look behind the scenes of your business … and i don't want you to commit to working with me if I can't be useful to the long-term growth of your business.
What This Is NOT:
A deep dive into your business
I won't look at:
- historical trends
- site performance
- conversion rates, or
- anything that requires extensive analysis
If those things could be useful, I'll let you know, but this will be a high-level overview.
A deep dive into your business
I can talk and write about SEO for days, and support my suggestions with charts, graphs, and research.
This Flash review is not the place for that.
A hard sell
I'm not going to tell you that we absolutely need to work together. If we're not a good fit, I'll let you know. If I think you need to do something else before you think about SEO, I'll share that belief (and probably a referral if you need one).
And if I do think I could help your business grow, I'll explain what that would look like. But it will be a conversation, not a pitch.

It wasn't a home in the beginning but it is now. We had decided to look at Calabria in April 2008 and with the aid of Google and not much else, we went on an inspection trip with Tony, didn't go anywhere else, and found the house we wanted in Santa Domenica Talao two months later on our next trip.
We weren't sure we wanted a renovation project but what swayed us was the "before" and "after". We looked at some wrecks and saw a finished house which looked, without exaggeration, fabulous.
The house we bought was basically a two storey house on top of a basement with a log store, bread oven etc. The basement opened up on to the road on one side and backed up against rock on the other. This is fairly typical in hill villages where houses are built on slopes at the edge of the village.
We spoke, at some length, to Antonello, the architect, and Salvatore, the builder. The whole building was reasonably watertight but in poor condition. What Antonello was able to show us was that by removing the floors and raising them we could create a three storey house. Because the house is in a conservation area we couldn't raise the roof level or significantly alter the appearance, but we wouldn't have wanted to. We now have a three storey house with a roof terrace partially sunk into the roof.
There are two advantages in a total renovation. Firstly the price is attractive and secondly because nearly everything needs doing there is no temptation to say "let's leave that the way it is".
With the setting of different floor levels, all the balconies had to be replaced, and all the doors leading on to them. This led on to the outside being re-rendered. We now have a three bedroom house with two bathrooms.
Antonello and Salvatore priced the work item by item and the initial price of €91000 rose to €99000 as our specification changed slightly and extra work was needed digging out and creating the new ground floor. The quality of the building work was excellent. I fitted the kitchen on to a vertical wall, and with a square corner; definitely a first. Everything worked first time, and we never arrived during the build to find nothing had happened, or the builder had gone off in a different direction than agreed. Communication was good, with Tony as project manager, and we had regular updates and photos between visits.
Problems versus plus points? The problems were mainly of our own making. We found the lack of choice of finishes, other than tiles, a disappointment. An example was the bath. We wanted a free-standing one with rounded ends. The only one we could find was a superb Villeroy & Bosch at 3000 euros, so we bought one in Bathstore for £250. This led us on to quite an adventure. We bought a large van in England and filled it with furniture, a flat packed kitchen, solid oak flooring, shower screen, beds etc and drove it 1500 miles to Santa Domenica. We could have sourced everything locally but now we have a house that was affordable and is exactly the way we want it.
The plus points were starting in the Scalea area. House prices can be higher if you move significantly up or down the coast. We were also lucky to find an agent who offers a service after the purchase, and has become a friend, and the skills that we encountered with the renovation were excellent. We now have a house that is genuinely a second home.

Why my Davco Fuel Pro is draining below collar and doesn't fill?
Ok, So here's the deal. My Davco does not fill up, and the level will actually drop to below the collar then rise to an inch above the next day and vice versa,but never more. Things I have done so far,
-Fuel pressure test, result OK
-Changed filter and the spring at the top of the housing
-replaced the check ball and spring at fuel inlet
-replaced gaskets and checked for leaks, none found
The last filter was in there for more than 80,000 miles and the paper was starting to break down.
The truck starts and runs fine and does not seem to have any loss of prime. Fuel is not going into the coolant. Nor is coolant making it into the Davco.
Is this a good question?

Q: I am a bus driver and I had two special needs contracts granted to me recently. I have two runs during the day. One run takes children child straight to a special needs school, the other takes children first to a mainstream school and then further children to a special needs school. The parents of one of the children insist that he travels on this second bus with his sister, dropping her off at mainstream school and then taking him on to the special needs school. Now that the boy is on this new bus, he becomes very distressed when his sister is dropped off at the mainstream school first. There have been a few incidents and it has reached the point where the escorts on the bus are refusing to travel this afternoon to collect him. I have spoken to the local authority travel coordinator and they are refusing to allow me to put him on the other bus and are threatening to take other contracts away from me. What should I do?
A: You should put all of your concerns in writing. The parents and the travel coordinator say that the child travels better with his sister but they have never seen him on the bus so cannot comment on this. It would be wise to make it clear that you have concerns for the welfare of the child and others on the bus.

18-year-old killed in deputy-involved collision in Hesperia
CORRECTION: Earlier this morning, Victor Valley News incorrectly reported that there was a pursuit which ended with a pedestrian being struck by a suspect in a stolen vehicle. However, it was later confirmed the victim was the owner of the stolen vehicle who was struck and killed by a sheriff's patrol car responding to the scene but was not in pursuit.
HESPERIA, Calif. (VVNG.com) Patrick Chambers, 18 of Hesperia, was struck and killed by a sheriff's patrol unit who was responding to the report of Chambers' stolen truck.
At around 12:33 a.m., sheriff's dispatch received a call from Chambers who was in his friend's Camaro following his truck that was stolen moments before from his job at the Hidden Tavern on Main Street.
"The deputy responding to the call observed the stolen vehicle traveling east on Main Street and with lights and siren activated, attempted to stop the vehicle," stated a Wednesday afternoon press release.
The suspect later identified as Jordan Lee Pence, a 20-year-old transient from Hesperia attempted to turn south onto E Avenue and lost control of the vehicle and foot bailed from the scene.
The driver of the Camaro stopped in the eastbound lanes of Main Street., exited the vehicle and began chasing the suspect. Chambers also exited the vehicle and was standing in the open door of the Camaro as deputies approached, officials said.
"Unbeknownst to the responding deputy, the stolen vehicle had a mechanical malfunction causing the vehicle to deposit engine oil on the roadway for approximately 1000 feet. As the deputy attempted to stop near the Camaro, the patrol car slid and was unable to stop, hitting the passenger side of the Camaro and striking Patrick Chambers," described a sheriff's news release.
Jordan Pence was arrested and booked at High Desert Detention Center for Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Possession of Stolen Property. His bail is set at $100,000 and is scheduled for arraignment on October 27th in Victorville Superior Court. Pence has numerous arrest warrants for narcotics violations, traffic-related incidents and a felony warrant for Possession of Stolen Property with $50,000 bail.
The Region II Major Accident Investigation Team is investigating the collision. Anyone with information regarding this investigation is urged to contact the Hesperia Station at (760)947-1500.
Callers wishing to remain anonymous are urged to call the We-tip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463) or you may leave information on the We-Tip Hotline at www.wetip.com.
The family of the victim has set up a Gofundme to raise money to help with any financial costs to lay Chambers to rest. Donations can be made directly via the account: Put our baby boy Patrick to rest

Case modders will absolutely love the motherboard as
its quite good to look at. These days a motherboard cannot just be fast and fully
equipped, it also has to look good and Gigabyte has that all covered with the
blue PCB and multi-coloured ports. The layout of the motherboard is near perfect,
and even with the board installed into a case with expansion cards you
should be able to access all the vital connectors.
While Serial ATA has advanced past
IDE on many fronts, one thing I did notice after setting up
a few systems is that the cables come off the motherboard and drives quite easily. That issue has
been addressed with the new style of Serial ATA II connectors and cables now used. Now
when you insert one of the new cables into the appropriate slot it'll lock into
Removing the cable is quite easy, as pressing down
on the latch allows you to pull the SATA II connector out. The SATAII controller
and cables are backwards compatible with first generation of Serial ATA
drives although you'll only be running at SATA I standard speeds, of
the GA-K8NXP-SLI board with two Gigabit NICs, and I'm
happy to report that neither run on the PCI bus! That means you don't have to
worry about the network card filling the PCI bus or about PCI activity slowing down your
network traffic. The Marvel 8053 is PCI Express based while the Vitesse adaptor
uses nVIDIA's "CSA" style connection to route directly to the NF4 SLI
MFP chipset.
nForce 4 SLI has a total of
20 PCI Express lanes to divvy up between the various peripherals. When the
switch module just under the first PCIe x16 slot is set to 'Normal,' sixteen lanes
are allocated for the first PCI Express x16 slot, two are allocated for the two
PCI Express x1 slots and officially the second PCI Express x16 slot is not available. When
the switch module is set to SLI, the sixteen PCI Express lanes from the first PCIe
x16 slot are split in half and each PCIe x16 slot gets eight lanes while the small PCIe
x1 slot between the two is disabled entirely.
During testing with the switch module set to 'SLI', the MSI RX800XT-VTD256 videocard still
had use of all sixteen PCI Express lanes with no performance penalty according
to SiSoft Sandra 2005. As expected, we were not able to run two GeForce 6600GT videocards in SLI with the
switch module set to 'Normal' mode.
I would
have preferred to be able to select normal or SLI modes within the BIOS instead of having
to change a switch, but I guess it's not possible at the
moment since every manufacturer with a nForce4 SLI-based motherboard requires a
physical hardware change on the board itself.

As my oldest daughter celebrated her birthday by sitting down with her friends and painting canvases, I sat nearby to eavesdrop and paint this witch box. The box was a simple paper mache box from the craft store, on sale for $1.50. I used acrylic craft paint for the witch and the jack-o-lanterns circling the box. I found it ironic that I was painting paper mache with craft paint while the girls had nice artists' acrylic and gessoed canvas.
I gave my witch some cute high heeled shoes. I figured she might as well look good as she heads out into the night.
I packed the box with a bicornu pattern from etsy and all of the goodies needed to make it. This was a fun project and turned out, I think, almost as well as the Pokemon and kawaii paintings completed down at the other side of the table.

Okay so in one particular line of shetland's white markings are appearing on ponies that parents are solid black with no white markings.
That white patch apparently wasn't caused by injury.
So any ideas if is just coincidental random gene mutations or some form of a white pattern gene that decided to turn recessive?

I have always been a money conscious person worrying about every penny I have and even more so when we brought our first house 2 years ago because of the big responsibilities of paying the mortgage, bills etc and making sure we got the best deals we could on everything we bought.
I always knew I wanted to buy my own house so saved for years as a young girl to have the money for a deposit, and even before we were anywhere near buying a property I was buying stuff for the house, Cleaning products, plates, saucepans, cooking utensils, coffee, tea (things that wouldn't go out of date) etc just to spread the cost over a longer period of time. Some people called me mad for doing this but in the long run it saved us so much time and a larger expense all in one go.
Anyways here below are my top money saving tips that I believe work for me.
1) I tend to go food shopping on an evening as firstly it's easier as I'm at work all day and secondly you get lots of reduced products and bargains, all fresh but the best before date is close so they reduce the product for quick sale, they reduce them quite a lot too so worth it. Then I just put it all in the freezer to use at a later date.
2) I'm always searching, downloading and using coupons from the internet. You can find 50p, £1.00, £1.50 or more off it's just knowing where to look then you just print them and take them shopping with and save yourself some money off.
3) Branded products, I used to always say "you can't beat Heinz ketchup" I now don't believe you can always tell the different in shop brands to named brand products. Same as things like tea, I absolutely love tea but I've brought Aldi's own brand tea and drank PG tips, Tetley, Yorkshire tea, and decaf tea and I honestly personally can't taste the difference except the price difference. Others may disagree.
4) Do your research first I am always comparing prices online between supermarkets to see where the best price is, Asda, Sainsburys, Morrison's & Tesco but I will only go if it is not to far out and worth it. I do feel, in my opinion Sainsbury's and Tesco are a little expensive and over price their items.
5) Store point cards, get them I know it's a pain having lots of cards in your purse but it is so worth it, Morrison's "more" card offer points every time you spend and when you reach 5000 point you get a £5 off voucher to use on your shopping plus lots of other vouchers. It doesn't take long to collect the points up.
6) Instead of always buying bin bags, I know there not that expensive, So I use the free charity bags that come through the door, some weeks we get none, others we get 3/4 bags and because there is only 2 of us and we recycle everything we can, we don't get through many, usually one a week maybe more.
7) Stamps, most of us will use these in everyday life, over the years I have seen and watched the prices creep up and up for a single stamp. I don't mind, but I do think now 64p for a 1st class stamp and 55p for 2nd class is getting a little on the expensive side. My tip to you is this, when you received a letter in the post check if it has been franked, scribbled on or defaced etc…?! if not great news carefully peel it off and reuse it. Easy right?… NO, you need to be very careful not to tear or leave any previous paper on it and make sure it is stuck down properly, I can't remember the last time I brought a stamp or a book of stamps for that matter.
Everyone may have their own saving ideas that work best for them, but these are mine.
* Remember, also don't leave your change behind – every penny counts!
Would love to hear your money saving tips!

502 Bad Gateway using nginx port 80, but site loads fine at IP:2368 or domain:2368
I have everything set up with my sudoer account on my Ubuntu VPS, e.g. /ghost directory and sub content owned by sudoer account. I've added my domain to the ocean domain DNS and can ping my domain and get back my server's IP, so this is working fine. I had configured Ghost first, so I am able to get to my site via the IP:2368 and domain:2368 fine, but I wanted to use the nginx proxy server, so I could access it via port 80. Therefore, I setup nginx, I started the service, and when I got to my site (e.g. site.com), I get "502 Bad Gateway". When looking at the errors logs, I see the following: 2014/05/17 16:40:40 [error] 29645#0: *21 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: XX.XXX.XXX.XXX, server: site.com request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:2368/", host: "site.com" I can see nginx is running: sudo service nginx status * nginx is running The nginx config file contains the usual: server { listen 0.0.0.0:80; server_name *my-domain-name*; access_log /var/log/nginx/*my-domain-name*.log; location / { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header HOST $http_host; proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368; proxy_redirect off; } } My sudoer account is a member of www-data, so my /ghost folder is owned by the sudoer and the www-data group. Both have read, write and execute permissions to all the folders and files in /ghost only. Do I need to change permissions anywhere else for this to work? I've been reading other people's problems with error 502 and they all seem to solve them by changing permissions on their /ghost directory, but I think they are using root and that is not my case. Note: I get the same error if I log in a root, restart nginx, and load my page, or if I log in as sudoer, restart nginx, and load my page.

Yesterday my husband and I finally got to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, at the place we got married one year ago. Correction – technically it should be 1 year and 5 months. But that's okie since we've never been big on dates and anniversaries. We've been together for so long we don't even remember when we actually got together 11 years ago.
Here's a little story on our childhood romance if you're interested. 😉
Depending on your current status, I guess Valentine's Day can either can a loving or cursed day. As far as I can remember, I never understood what the fuss about Valentine's Day was, why people bothered buying gigantic overpriced bouquet of flowers or getting stacked like sardines next to a ton of other couples or why all these only happened on one day of the year. It always seemed a bit contrived and quite unromantic. Obviously the pressure to conform comes mostly from advertisers and retailers who created the need, making it sound like if you don't shower your lover with gifts on February 14, then you're not expressing your love well.
But shouldn't love be celebrated and exhibited every day?
Mr Mode and I tried celebrating Valentine's Day on the actual day a couple of times (back when we were young and carefree lol), and to be honest they didn't feel any more special than any other day. Just more expensive, more forced, more pre-packaged.
As his 32-year-old self replied 'just another day' when I asked what Valentine's Day means to him, I too feel that Valentine's Day doesn't mean anything except for the meaning we give it. It should not be a way to gauge your self worth or commitment to your partner. I'm not saying that Valentine's Day is bad, but it shouldn't make you feel less assured of your love or that buying expensive gifts and dinner means you've done your part in the relationship.
Instead of professing eternal love on that one special day, I would think fostering romance every day and sprinkling little surprises into daily life is the stuff love is made of.
When you are tempted to complain that he isn't romantic (I do, sometimes), try making a list of things to remind yourself that he does, in his own quiet ways. This is particularly effective if your husband is shy and introverted or a hopeless non-romantic, like mine!
Here's my list:
- He calls/texts me during the day in between meetings just to say hi
- He cleans the house well – vacuuming, mopping, toilet-washing
- He helps with the dishes
- He washes his own clothes so that I don't have to do it for him
- He wrestles with me and lets me win
- He appreciates my cooking (although sometimes he will nag that I use too many tools)
- He makes me laugh, A LOT
When we spend the weekends at home, I will be doing something on my computer and he'll be watching the TV, and I'll suddenly miss him and go play with him. I also like to hold his hand while walking around the house. Lol.
I find great joy in being able to cook for him. They say a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I already got the heart, so now all I want is to make the stomach bigger. BAHAHA! 😆
The reason I wrote this post is because the other day I had dinner with a friend and she was quite upset that she didn't have anyone to spend Valentine's Day with this year. I would like to tell her, and anyone who has yet to find the right one, that you deserve someone who will treat you right 365 days of the year, not just once a year.
Happy Every Day, y'all! 😀
(Was laughing at some lame comment he whispered into my ear LOL)

When you're walking by means of an airport, sweaty and tired and sore and worried about the debt you are racking up by spending hundreds of dollars to go to however another fucking location wedding, sometimes you will catch a glimpse of someone like Brian Kelly. At first, this seemed to be the case with only Chase branded cards that earn Ultimate Rewards points, like the Sapphire Preferred or Freedom. They might be a excellent choice if you are trying to travel throughout a peak season, at the final minute, or have a complex route itinerary.
I stumbled on the concept of travel hacking a few years back on my personal, ahead of I even knew it was a issue. Enter your e-mail address below and get my totally free 20 Travel Hacking Techniques guide, entirely Free! Mr. Agius, as was lately reported , earned 380,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer Points by exploiting a loophole in the terms and situations for an provide to earn one hundred added points per purchase made with the NAB Qantas credit card. The course provides concept lists of which cards to focus on when starting out, based on your wants. Credit card churning is finding the ideal credit card sign up bonus bargains to earn flyer miles, cost-free hotel stays and bank rewards points. My husband and I are in a organizing and prepping stage to be capable to travel for an extended period of time – it really is nonetheless a approaches off but thanks so much for the ideas!
Just since you never live in the states, it does not mean you should have to go with no the chance to earn air miles on your purchases and travel far more! If you are willing to do a small operate, you can use credit cards to gain tons of cost-free miles and reward points before you go on your trip, to keep you in totally free flights and hotels for a lengthy, extended time.
Your credit score is largely determined by your payment history and credit utilization ratio. This hobby is not for every person, but accountable credit customers who are capable to stay organized can rapidly earn hundreds of thousands of points and miles to enable you to travel for next to absolutely nothing. You need an excellent credit score to get approved for these premium travel rewards credit cards (virtually usually over 700).
I simply will not sign up for a card that doesn't give me at least twenty thousand points when I sign up. Most cards have an daily sign-up bonus of around thirty thousand points. Like my mildly extreme couponing, my travel hacking strategy of attack is also mildly extreme. You'll get 40,000 miles after spending $three,000 in 90 days, which can be redeemed for a $400 statement credit on travel purchases, plus you will get ten% of your miles back when you redeem them for credit for travel charges. Meanwhile, the new credit pushed my scores 19 points greater than when I had begun.…

I've been quiet inside -
no words for the mystery.
When death comes suddenly
God comes close –
so close
that grief and grace get tangled,
loss and love are one.
I've been standing still in the desert –
sandals in hand
before the flame that will not consume.
I know God is here
comforting widow and orphan.
I've been praying at a tomb
knowing my brother lives.
New plans now
for an unexpected future.
I know God is here.
because Jesus wept.

How to Store Lettuces and Greens
It is finally starting to warm up in Minnesota. I am eager to get my garden started. I love to grow simple spring lettuces. They are easy to plant, grow quickly and don't need a lot of space. They work well in garden beds, planters and small container gardens. Salad greens are a cool weather crop. They tend to bolt and turn butter in the hot summer heat so plant early spring and fall for abundant harvests. Local harvests are seasonal but you can look for high quality lettuces year round. Here is a simple guide on how to store your greens for best results no matter when you get them.
When Shopping:
Full heads of lettuce are the best option for keeping costs down and flavor high. For extra convenience, you might try the salad mixes that come in bags or plastic "clamshell" boxes.
Ideally you want lettuce picked as recently as possible. Look for clean, crisp, bright leaves, fresh looking cut ends. Lettuce leaves that are darker in color contain more vitamins and minerals like romaine that is rich in vitamins A and K. Iceberg lettuce is one of the least nutritious. Head lettuces should be symmetrically shaped. Some spotting or holes are common, especially in crops raised without sprays.
Watch out for limp, withered leaves that have brown or yellow edges, or dark or slimy spots. You don't want anything that looks rusty, dried-out, or wilted. Once greens have passed their prime, there is no way to restore them to crisp freshness. Avoid overly large heads of romaine, which may have tough, fibrous leaves.
Iceberg lettuce should be compact and firm, yet springy. Very hard heads may be over mature and bitter. The stem end of a head of iceberg lettuce may look brown. This discoloration is the natural result of harvesting and does not indicate damage.
Wash for best results:
Always wash your lettuce before you eat it. Even if it is pre packaged and says pre washed. Packaged lettuce is often rinsed in a chlorine wash and handled by many people before being sealed. It is best to wash as home as well.
You don't need to wash all of it at once. Place leaves in a clean colander and rinse under cool water. Don't dump your lettuce in the sink. Sinks hold bacteria, and they're a ripe breeding ground for cross-contamination. Dry the leaves thoroughly between towels; you can also use a salad spinner to assist with the drying process.
Storage and Location:
For salad greens to thrive after they've been picked, they need slightly humid conditions to prevent the leaves from drying out but should not be wet. Extra water droplets can result in browning and rotting so they must also be kept dry. I have found there are two good ways to do this using a container or a towel.
In a Container
Wash and dry greens then store greens in a large plastic or glass container. Line the bottom of the container with a paper or clean dishtowel and drape another towel over the top inside the lid. If your greens came in a clamshell, just snip the lid off and place a paper towel under the lid. Be sure to fill your container loosely, packing it tightly will bruise the leaves, making them more susceptible to rotting.
In a Towel
Wash and dry the greens then wrap the leaves in several layers of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, seal in a plastic bag, You could also roll the leaves in a larger towel up and keep the roll in the fridge.
Always store washed greens in the lowest crisper drawer of your refrigerator for up to 1 week. Lettuce stored this way stays crisp and wilt-free, since it is kept hydrated by the slightly moist towels, but basically dry by the towels soaking up excess moisture.
Keep an eye on it:
Iceberg, romaine and kale will store for about a week but other more gentle leaves like butter lettuces and spring greens should be used as soon as possible. Lettuce that comes in a box or bag can keep for a week as well, but make sure you reseal tightly with a paper towel in-between uses.
Spinach and kale are especially good choices for packaged greens because they can be eaten raw and cooked. You can use them in a salad when they're very fresh and then cook them when they're starting to turn.
Remember avoid slimy lettuces, slime is a form of rot and rotting produce harbors bacteria. If it's slimy it's past it's prim and should be tossed out.
Extra Care:
Again for the best quality lettuces try to buy locally and seasonally. If not buying whole heads look for plastic clamshell containers. These containers offer green more protection in transit and are less likely to be bruised than the bagged varieties.
If you buy bagged lettuce or salads, choose the bag that is the flattest. When the greens are packaged, all of the air is sucked out of the bag. Then as they age, they give off gas, making the bag puffier. Choose the flattest bag and your salad will be fresher–and last longer in the fridge without going bad.
Do you have a favorite way for produce storage? Do you have questions about how to best store a particular ingredient? Let me know, I am happy to help.

This is a work in progress, as is all of Life. As I continue on my journey in the world of blogging and writing, I also continue to learn about myself and how I feel about things, in more ways than I ever imagined. This is a judge free zone. I analyze and "think" and process things as they come to me. I just want to share what has helped me along this journey of my life, and hope that there is something that I have endured that may spark a revelation in you, too. I'm honored that you are here.
Personal Note
This is what I need to remind myself of everyday to be the best person that I can be. Live your life with gratitude. Be thankful for all that you have everyday, even if it is your eyes to see or your ears to hear or your feet to walk or your hands to create. Understand your place in this Universe; how infinitesimally small you are, but how huge a contribution your Spirit is. Don't wear blinders to the world around you, you're not the only one here. Be kind, considerate, don't be judgemental, love others, and yourself. Know that you are perfect inside; that you are love.

New Weekly Forum--Sundays with Buddha
I hope this post finds you well.
I have been having a little trouble staying motivated lately. I know we all go through this from time to time, but I've really been struggling. I have been "losing' myself a bit lately, it seems, and I want to get out of that rut. I just needed to find a way. I took some time off from writing and socializing just to be with my thoughts and feelings and, while it gave me a break to just be with myself, I realized I am not at my best when I am isolated and not sharing with others.
I find that if I am not practicing what I believe in on a daily basis, I falter and sort of lose sight of what is important to me. Things like kindness, non-judgement, compassion, loving thoughts and feelings toward myself and others. It doesn't leave me completely, I don't think it ever really could, but I become less mindful of these attributes that are so very important to me to have and to share.
That's why I am so grateful to forums, web sites, books, and magazines that I can read and participate in to keep that part of me awakened. But, I realized that, when I write and share of myself, that is when I am at my strongest. I write every once in a while. I submit articles to blogs. But I need to really concentrate on my own blog, as well.
So, this is how I intend to do it.
A few weeks ago on a nice weekend out with my husband, Noah, I picked up this journal titled "The Sayings of Buddha." It has over 50 pages and 100 quotes from the Buddha sharing his great wisdom. One quote on each blank lined page for you to journal on. I haven't started writing in it yet; I was waiting for whatever I needed to do with this book to make itself known to me, as I knew it would. I was reading through the quotes one night at work and it did just that.
I realized that if I could read a quote and write about my feelings on what it meant to me just on the blank pages provided, I could have a lesson at least every week for almost two years, or twice a week for one year.
So, that's it. I will provide a lesson each week (maybe two) for at least a year on the teachings of the Buddha and what they mean to me and how I will adapt those lessons into my life. It will provide me with something that I must focus on, and to rely upon myself to be mindful, as I can think on each lesson through the week and post them each Sunday.
I picked Sunday because that is when we are likely to be most at peace and rest and have the time to sit down with some tea or a cup of coffee sometime throughout the day and share some "Sundays With Buddha."
My first post will be this Sunday, April 28th, a day before my son's 18th birthday; a day that changed my life for the better, forever.
I truly hope you will join me on my journey of contemplation of the words of the Buddha. In them, there are amazing lessons of peace and love. This does not mean you have to be any certain religion or not. You may wonder if I am Buddhist. I would reply that it is not in me to be religious or to practice one 'religion'. I prefer to study and practice spirituality and philosophy. If there is a philosophy that resonates with me, it could come from any religion or culture, but if it is what resonates with me, that is the philosophy that I would adopt for my life. This may not be for everyone. Religion has always been a 'touchy' subject in this world. I prefer unity in peace and love rather than separation through who's right or wrong. There are many teachings of Christ that I follow, as well. Everyone has something to learn from someone else.
I just think it's time to be open to learning from each other. And since Buddha was a teacher and I find his words to be a loving embrace, and for all of mankind to learn from, that is what I chose for my path to peace.
I am honored that you might join me,

Hello Nanette,ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to following your "Sundays with Buddha" posts. The 'formula' you propose for using one quote per post and presenting your thoughts and reactions sounds wonderful. I am a serious fan of wisdom-type quotations of all kinds and I am very interested in learning about more of Buddha's quotes.
I just read your post on Tiny Buddha and I enjoyed it very much. Your very thoughtful and 'conversational' style of writing is a great pleasure to read. I'm very glad I discovered your blog right before the debut of your new series! I also plan to visit some of your older blog posts in the hopes of finding some of the many other gems that I suspect are all over the place :)Replies
Hi there, karmit_1!Delete
I so appreciate your comment and I am very excited that you will be joining me for Sundays With Buddha. I am also grateful you are interested in browsing further into the blog. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do writing it. When I go back to the beginning and read through it myself, I can see how I've changed since I started it almost two years ago.
I am so very glad you are here and honored for you to be a part of my journey.
Gratefully yours,
I want to hear from you! Please don't be shy...I learn from you, too! Your opinion matters to me, but, please, no judgment or hateful words here.

Tyler Jacobson is stoked to share these two awesome paintings he did for D&D. With the announcement of the 5th addition of D&D, Tyler was assigned to do the cover for the Player's Handbook. The second book cover Tyler did was the cover of the Dungeon's Master Guide. Though both pieces were cropped for application, their epic quality was most certainly not diminished!
