Client comments
We have our clients send in evaluation forms to let us know how we're doing. Here are some comments that may reassure you about what coming here will be like:
"All your staff are amazing, from the first phone call to the care after the procedure. This was a very hard time in the life but it was made so much easier by the support and kindness of everyone at the clinic."
April 2018
"I am so very appreciative to everyone I met during my appointment. Everyone was so kind, knowledgeable, and supportive. I started my appointment nervous and feeling guilty, but left empowered in knowing how many women had been here before me, and knowing I had made the right decision for me and my family."
April 2017
"Everyone was so kind and calm and lovely – thank you for that. It really made the whole experience that much easier."
January 2018
"More than anything, I am appreciative of the supportive nature of the staff. Thank you for helping to make this an empowering experience instead of a shameful one."
September 2017
"Having previously had a medical abortion at a different clinic, I was especially impressed by the service I received at Everywoman's. Staff were friendly, accommodating, and professional, and the whole process was as efficient and as comfortable as could be expected."
September 2017
"Thank you for being so supportive and understanding and caring. It was not an easy decision or situation to be in… and you helped me get through it."
May 2017
"I appreciate how easy you made this process and the care you take to make me feel comfortable and knowledgeable for each step of the way."
May 2017
"I honestly cannot thank your staff enough. For someone who was going through this for the first time, it was so comforting to have such lovely, and kind people around me. From the start to finish, every staff member made me feel calm and more than just a patient. I truly appreciate it, it means so much!"
April 2017
"Just wanted to say that everyone at the clinic was very helpful and attentive. The procedure went by must faster and smoother than I imagined. Please thank your staff for all their hard work, they were all so kind and caring. Thank you so much."
February 2017
"Wonderful experience. everyone was very kind, and understanding and very supportive. procedure was quick and painless, and the staff made sure I was very comfortable and only proceeded once I was ready. thank you all so much."
January 2017
"Everywoman's Health Centre made a very hard situation much more tolerable. The staff were patient, understanding and helpful. I felt confident in my choice but felt no pressure in deciding. Thank you Everywoman's for being here and supporting me."
September 2016
"The staff and support system at Everywoman's was more than I could have asked for. In a time of fear and need these women were able to normalize the situation for me and knew how to bring me back to calm and not feel alone as we often do in times like these.
I am thankful for the very down to earth counsellor I had spoken to. She was very informative and helpful in taking the time I needed to talk through everything with me. Honestly, to this day I still think of some of her words of advice and it has been continuing to help me through the process…Thank you for being very comforting and supportive when I needed it the most!"
September 2016
" My pregnancy was quite unexpected and somewhat unwanted. I had never been pregnant or had an abortion, so I didn't know what to expect from Everywoman's. Having said that, my experience at your clinic was of the utmost professionalism. Every member of your team I encountered on the phone or in person was very sensitive to the matter. The counsellor I spoke with was fantastic, as was the receptionist, the nurse, and everyone else. The literature provided to patients, to the patient's companion, and the ease in which my appointment was made, all through to the end of the procedure helped lessen my emotional and psychological pain. Thank you."
July 2016
"I'd like to thank you all again for taking such great care of me and making a very stressful day go as smoothly as possible. Your clinic is excellent and I'm glad I chose to go there. Thank you Everywoman's Health Centre!"
May 2016
"Everyone there was wonderful and supportive. You all made a difficult situation so much easier to handle. I appreciate you all so much!"
January 2016
"I was incredibly stressed and anxious prior to my appointment. Even though I'd read up on the procedure, I had no idea how I would feel emotionally, during and after my appointment. From the moment I stepped foot in the clinic, my anxiety began to subside. I felt better after the counsellor explained what was to be expected throughout my entire appointment. I saw a different female staff member for every stage of my appointment, which under normal circumstances, would have increased my anxiety. However, each and every staff member was incredibly gracious, calming, and informative. Not once did I feel neglected, judged, or uncomfortable in the presence of the staff members — especially the nurse who was in the room with me. Even though I never ever want to experience this again, I am so pleased with the way Everywoman's Health Centre has dedicated their time and effort to creating a safe space for women, who are faced with one of the most mentally and emotionally difficult situations they could go through."
January 2016
"I would just like to thank all of the staff at Everywoman's Health Centre. I appreciate your kindness and gentle care. From the very beginning of my experience with your health centre I felt supported and taken care of. Thank you, you are truly amazing women."
December 2015
"On the day of my abortion, I was extremely nervous but my experience was made very comfortable by the staff at every woman's health centre. The counsellor helped me more than words can say. I had conflicted feelings (knowing I was making the right decision, and yet feeling sad and scared) but she spoke to me with genuine care, answering any questions I had, and assuring that I was being well taken care of."
November 2015
"I was astonished with the the amazing care I received at the clinic, as was my mom, who accompanied me throughout the procedure. While confident in my decision, the choice was not an easy one for me, and I am thankful the entire process was handled without judgement and with compassion and understanding. I could not be more thankful and humbled by the care I received."
October 2015
"Overall I had an extremely positive experience! Coming into it I was terrified but it could not have been smoother/less scary. Thank-you!"
September 2015
"Lovely, caring and professional staff. thanks for making a difficult situation comforting to go through."
July 2015
"My experience with all your staff was wonderful. I was very well informed and well taken care of. Thank you for providing the service you do."
July 2015
"Thank you for your professional, easily accessible and non-judgemental care."
July 2015
"I felt very comfortable in the clinic. All the staff were very supporting and caring and I did not feel judged at all. The counselling beforehand helped a lot and gave me coping mechanisms for after the appointment."
July 2015
"Excellent staff and a calming safe environment. Counselling staff was especially helpful to me and extremely supportive. Thank you."
July 2015
"Immediately upon entering Everywoman's Health Centre I knew I'd come to the right place. The staff was genuine, I was actually listened to after being asked a question, my nerves were put at ease , and I was comfortable. Not nervous and comfortable! I didn't think this was even an option for a woman who needed an abortion! Thank you to all the lovely staff at EWHC, I feel so much better!"
November 2014
"I just wanted to send you a quick thank you (since I'm guessing you don't get it often enough) and let you know that I'm so blessed, relieved and happy that there is a team of people that truly care about the welfare of their patients, obviously are passionate about their jobs and take extreme care to make the lives of others better. I was scared and mistrustful of doctors due to bad experiences but you have completely changed my opinion! Keep doing an amazing job and thank you, thank you, thank you!"
August 2014
"This was a difficult decision for me personally. However, making the choice I did and having it done in a safe and loving environment has helped with my healing process more than you will ever know. When I think of my appointment, I think of how you all made me feel incredibly secure…So, if any of you ever doubt yourselves or are having a bad day, I hope you all know you have made a difference in my life. Thank you for accepting me and my choice, thank you for not judging me, thank you for listening to me and foremost thank you for protecting me."
August 2014
"All the staff here were absolutely fantastic. I was going through a hard time but every single person I can in contact with when I was at the clinic made me feel so comfortable and at ease. The counsellor I spoke to was so fantastic I can't even put it into words. Thank you to all of you ladies who were there for me that day to help me and take care of me."
June 2014
"In light of a challenging situation, I was very grateful to be in an environment that was comfortable and completely supportive. I was made to feel at peace, and that was more than what I could have hoped for in my situation. Thank you so much for providing the service that you do. And thank you for doing so in a way that put me and my partner at ease, when it would have been so easy to remain so very clinical and cold."
April 2014
"I felt so supported and cared for. True sisterhood. Words cannot express, so a simple thank you will have to do."
Aug. 2013
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for the care and support my partner and I had throughout the whole time we were at the clinic. This was a decision that my partner and i did not make lightly and we were still feeling quite anxious about it, however that changed when we arrived at the clinic. Thank you for supporting us in the decision that we were making, and providing us with an environment that was non-judgemental, loving, and friendly, where the staff were with you 100 percent. We left not with a sense of shame and guilt but with a sense of relief knowing that we had made the best decision possible for us right now, as difficult as it was, and left feeling that we had love and support throughout the whole time that we were there. Thank you again!"
June 2013
"I just want to say thank you so much for a warm, caring environment. I knew this is what I wanted, but still had some anxieties until I walked in the doors to your clinic. I knew I would be treated with respect and my decision was fully supported by everyone there. I felt no shame or guilt afterwards, just a sense of relief that I was able to trust myself to make this difficult decision, and that I had somewhere safe to go. I can't tell you how appreciative I am of your services, and I will be FOREVER grateful. My partner and I will also be donating monthly to support this amazing clinic. Thank you again and again for believing in the option to choose when and if women decide to start a family."
Feb. 2013
"Thank you very much. I felt safe, secure, and supported the entire time. You all are doing great work there."
May 2012
"The staff were absolutely amazing from the minute I met with the counsellor until I walked out."
April 2012
"I must send you many thanks again for the quality of treatment, both throughout the surgery itself and perhaps even more so for the mental and emotional help you provided during. It really made all the difference in making me feel at peace with my decision and conciliation within and after the process. Keep up the good work, you are making miracles in every woman that can walk out your doors calm in her heart. Much love and respect for all the work you do, in all cases."
February 2012
"I felt from start to finish that I was in a safe, female-centred environment where I was free from judgement. Seeing that many women have come together professionally to provide a safe place and a women-only environment was not only reassuring but also inspiring in a way. I would really like to be a part of some place like Everywoman's someday, so I can make women like myself feel as safe and welcome and powerful as I did the day I was there. I can't thank these amazing women enough and I will never forget their kindness and comfort at a time I thought I was beyond being comforted."
"I just want to thank everyone for being so professional and making my experience a comforting one. I really appreciate how well I was treated and handled with extreme care!"
"I was very surprised by the warmth of the staff and my speedy recovery after the procedure. Thank you for everything. You made a difficult day and decision a little easier."
"Thank you for everything! Your clinic is amazing, very friendly helpful staff!"
"I would like to say that you have a great staff here. They are totally helpful and caring. Today I came here alone, I felt alone, but the staff made me feel like I was not alone. Thanks for all your excellent support."
"Everything is excellent and all the nurses, counsellor, doctor and receptionist made me feel my decision was respected and helped me go through everything with ease! Keep up the good work!"
"The environment at the clinic is caring, supportive and empowering. Thank you for making this the best experience that it could be!"
"You are doing a wonderful job and the staff here is excellent. I found the clinic to be friendly, open, honest and straightforward. The manner in which the staff speaks eliminates the shame and guilt. Thank you for giving the option of choice. "
"Everyone was very friendly, patient, caring and informative without being too technical which made it easy to understand everything."
"Having an abortion wasn't a decision I made lightly, but any anxiety I may have had disappeared because of the wonderful support system of the staff. I don't think there is anything that could be done better than what is already being done. Thank you again so much."

Liverpool Plains Biodiversity Strategy
** If you are having trouble viewing the above content or are viewing this page from a mobile device, please use the below link and download the PDF for viewing**
Revegetation for Carbon Income and Biodiversity
Regenesis was a partnership project of Blacktown City Council and its sister city Liverpool Plains Shire Council, made possible through a $2 million grant from the NSW Environment Trust.
The project commenced in 2007 and has become a model for planning and planting locally native reforestation projects that create additional revenue for landholders to establish and maintain native vegetation. The revenue is created through the sale of carbon offset certificates that are generated as the vegetation grows.
In the Liverpool Plains Shire, ten landowners partnered with Regenesis to plant locally native carbon forests on their land. All of these Regenesis initiatives provided local environmental benefits, including erosion control, improved soil quality and creek health, reduced soil salinity, creation of windbreaks, shelter for grazing stock as well as enhanced biodiversity through increased habitat. After three years, 220,000 native plants across 100 hectares of land in 33 bio-diverse carbon forests - the Regenesis project between Blacktown City and Liverpool Plains Shire has concluded.
The Regenesis Toolkit has been produced to ensure the ongoing delivery of the project happens and is a guide for other organisations and individuals interested in undertaking similar projects. The Toolkit is a guide to establishing locally native mixed species carbon forests in urban and rural environments. It is aimed at urban and rural Councils, State Government land managers, Catchment Management Authorities, land care groups and private landowners - in essence, any land owner who is looking to establish native revegetation areas and generate an income from them.

Hey all,
Ive been having good looking bulk tubs (WBS spawned to Coco/coffee in 6qt. tubs, with verm/peat/oyster shell casing) going into fruiting chamber turning bad quicker than usual. See pics. I've had tubs go this route (white puffy chunks spreading then eventually turning green) after the 3rd flush or so, but they've been heading that direction even before pinning in a few cases.
I've just added a few poly filled holes and plan to add another fanning to the daily routine in case the issues is poor FAE.
Perhaps its just the chambers need to be scrubbed with bleach?
Just looking for any insight to help.
Thanks in advance!

Open Home Theft
Recently, there have been a growing number of thefts from properties during Open Homes.
For you, as a potential home seller, it is important to consider what steps you can take to prevent theft occurring during an Open Home, or if a theft occurs, whether your insurance will cover you.
Generally, the prevention of theft may represent a better alternative than the cure of insurance. It is therefore wise to take practical measures such as placing valuable items either out of sight or under lock and key before the Open Home is conducted.
If the theft does occur you can look to your insurance policy for cover. However, there are two matters you should keep in mind when making a claim. Firstly, policies often depend upon showing that the home was actually broken into before accepting the claim. In the case of Open Homes, as the house is freely accessible to the public, the thief may steal an item without the need to break and enter. If your policy includes this provision then you probably won't be insured.
Secondly, the policies often require that "reasonable care" be taken by you in preventing the theft of property. Whether you have taken reasonable care will depend upon what security measures you have in place before the Open Home.
It is advisable that you discuss with the real estate agent, before the Open Home, the security measures that agent will put in place to prevent a possible theft occurring.
However, in recent times, real estate agents have been seeking exemptions from home owners, the effect of which is to prevent that agent from having any liability in the event your property is stolen.
If you have got any doubts about the Open Home process, please contact one of the Fortune Manning property team.

January has been a relatively cold month for us this year. We are not expected to get above freezing for 4 days this week (more pond hockey, hopefully). We have had 4 "snow" days this month–school canceled, basically, for cold weather (it did snow in the north and west parts of the county which are at higher elevation than we are). No snow is a little disappointing. Growing up, the few snows that we got were good for snowball fights and snow angels, but here in the mountains, sledding and hiking in the snow are so much fun! Will we get any this year?
We have been out hiking some–no school makes it easier to work hikes into the schedule–and getting out into the woods can be magical, especially with frozen falling water. I hiked with all the children to a small waterfall near our house one day this weekend when it was not so cold. Then William, the boys, and I hiked to another waterfall near our house that is tall and impressive, but does not have a lot of volume. The ice on these hikes was fun to find and explore.
On a side note, I cannot get Hythe to wear a coat (or hat) most of the time. I thought natural consequences might work (i.e. he gets cold, then will put on a coat). But, he might be shivering, teeth chattering, and he still refuses to put on a coat insisting he is not cold. I remember fighting with my mother about wearing a coat and being frustrated that she wanted me to wear one when, obviously (in my mind), I did not need one (was it too warm, was the coat itchy, did I not want to be burdened with it inside?). Who knows what goes on the minds of children? So, he doesn't wear a coat (but I do carry it around wherever we go, just in case).

Just days after Democrat presidential contender Bernie Sanders laid off many of his campaign staff members he grabbed an upset victory in the Indiana primary against rival Hillary Clinton. "I sense a great deal of momentum," Sanders told reporters in New Albany, Indiana, after he won the race.
"While the path is narrow — and I do not deny that for a moment — I think we can pull off one of the great political upsets in the history of the United States."
He added: ''I know that the Clinton campaign thinks this campaign is over. They're wrong. Maybe it's over for the insiders and the party establishment but the voters today in Indiana had a different idea," he told the Associated Press.
Though it's very unlikely Sanders could shake loose Clinton's grasp on the Democratic presidential nomination for the general election, the victory may give Sanders' campaign a second wind and a continued strong push through the primary contests in June into the convention.
A new NBC News-Survey Monkey poll found that 57% of Democrats believe Sanders should stay in the race.
With nearly 96% of the Indiana tally counted, Sanders won 52.5% of the vote to Clinton's 47.5%. He tends to do better in states with open primaries like Indiana, where independents not registered with either party are free to vote for him.
But because the state distributes delegates proportional to votes, it wasn't a big delegate victory for Sanders. The two candidates will essentially split the state's 83 delegates.
Clinton has a lead of roughly 300 pledged delegates over Sanders. Combined with the super-delegates who have vowed to support her at the convention in Philadelphia in July, the front-runner has already secured 90% of what she needs to lock up the nomination.
Sanders, however, has long argued that superdelegates from across the nation — those not bound to any candidate at the Democrat convention — should switch their allegiance to him because he has a better chance in a race against Donald Trump.
Posturing a bit more like his party's pick for the general election, Sander slammed Trump in a speech later in Louisville, Kentucky, where he's already preparing for the 17 May primary there. "I know many of you are fearful of a President Trump," Sanders told about 7,000 supporters, the Louisville Courier Journal reported. "I'm here to tell you, that won't happen. It won't because in every national poll that I have seen for a long time, we beat Trump by double-digit numbers."

Police have issued an image of a woman after a shopper's mobile phone was stolen.
The iPhone was taken from the counter of TK Maxx clothes store in Rochdale after the victim accidentally left it on the counter.
A woman was seen to take the device from the desk and put it in her handbag, before leaving the shop.
The theft took place at 6.25pm on Monday, December 3, last year, at TK Maxx in The Point Retail Park, Molesworth Street.
Det Sgt Julie Adams from Rochdale police said: "The woman blatantly saw the victim had left her mobile phone and instead of doing the right thing and telling her, she decided to steal it."

New Year's Resolutions for Christians
With the new year fast approaching it's time again to be thinking about those pesky new years resolutions. It is estimated that 100 million Americans will make new year resolutions and that 4 out of 5 will not keep these new resolutions. Below is a list of the most popular resolutions made each year.
- Lose weight
- Manage debt/save money
- Get a better job
- Get fit
- Eat right
- Get a better education
- Drink less alcohol
- Quit smoking
- Reduce stress overall and/or at work
- Take a trip
- Volunteer to help others
I propose that we take a different approach for 2010. If you are a Christian then you have the best guidance for making and keeping resolutions that anyone can have, the Holy Spirit. Why not try to improve upon these nine characteristics of Christian life.
Galatians 5:22-23
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control.
God set the example for us to follow when he sent His son as a sacrifice for each one of us. He didn't do it because we deserved it or because we earned it. He did it because He could and because He wanted to. This next year, why not try to show someone love without expecting anything in return and once you see how good that feels, try it again. Pretty soon, showing love to others will become a way of life for you.
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Jesus endured the cross because of the joy it would bring us in the end. Have you ever tried to pick someone out of a crowd that has no joy in their life? Pretty easy isn't it? In 2010, why not try to be joyful. Even in our sufferings we can be joyful. Jesus has already conquered death for us. If you are joyful, then it is almost impossible for others around you not to feel joy, also. Lets start a Joy Revolution.
Hebrews 12:2
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Peace is much like joy. It's there for the taking. Jesus says he wants us to have peace. Why not be at peace with everyone and everything. I wonder if we were at peace would we have all this stress heaped on us? Would we naturally be healthier? Only one way to find out. In 2010, be at peace.
John 16:33
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
It seems that today nobody has much patience. I'm trying to remember a story told by Bill Hybels about a time when he was traveling. Aboard the plane a man was complaining about sitting next to this young woman with some sort of problem. She was unable to control what she said or did and he didn't like being next to her. Hybels offered to trade him seats and ends up spending the entire flight talking with the woman. After the flight landed one attendant came up to him and said, "You must be a Christian." He was surprised and said, yes he was, how did she know? She replied that no one other than a Christian could have that much patience. Does that story reflect you? If not, 2010 would be a good year to make that your story.
1 Timothy 1:16
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.
There are a lot of people out there during this economic climate that sure could use some kindness. Whether it is to help them with their problems or just a shoulder to lean on, people need kindness. Since we should have an abundance of it, why not try to show it in 2010.
Ephesians 2:7
in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
Always endeavor to be good and do good. Living a moral life and looking for the good in others can be the best witness a Christian can have. Why not spend 2010 being good and doing good things for others.
2 Peter 1:3
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
Living by faith is by far the strongest example of Christian living. If we knew everything that was going to happen before it did then what kind of life would that be? We trust God to provide and protect—that is having faith. Why not use 2010 to increase your faith. Do something to stretch your faith. Step out into a new ministry where you don't know, for sure, how it is going to work out.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see
I wonder what it would be like if we treated everyone the same way we treat a newborn baby. Careful and gentle, not wishing to injure or harm them. What if everyone else treated you that way? I wonder what kind of world we would live in? Well, it has to start somewhere, so why not with you? Why not decide to be gentle with everyone you encounter in 2010.
4:2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Imagine if you were the poster child for self-control. What would you be like? Would you always think before you spoke? Would you never impulse-shop? Would you never loose your temper with anyone? Would you never be tempted to do the wrong thing when no one is looking? Probably not, because everyone would look at you when they thought of self-control. If you don't qualify as the self-control poster child, why not begin working on that in 2010.
2 Peter 1:5-7
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
Human Emotion #6 Love
Here is my final examination of Human Emotions. The last one is love. Saved the best for last. The definition of love from Wikipedia is:
Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my boyfriend"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love. Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.
Just about everyone experiences love either from someone or towards someone. That of course is no different than the love we experience from God and towards God. The biggest difference between our love for others and God's love is that we tend to place conditions on our love, don't we. If someone hates us, do we love them. If someone treats us bad, do we love them. If someone doesn't show us love, do we show them love. Follow this link to keep reading

It's a new era in IT. The end-user workforce is mobile, social, and putting huge strains on your Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). It's time for a new model, one that liberates you from costly infrastructure maintenance and delivers the service and availability end-users demand.
Yet, the complexities of implementing VDI at scale, specifically having to dedicate IT infrastructure resources to ensure performance and lack of IT administrative talent, often make VDI initiatives cost prohibitive. Organizations need a simpler, more streamlined VDI infrastructure that delivers performance for small and large desktop deployments alike and are also are highly available and secure in order to make VDI deployments viable.
The Dell EMC VxRail™ hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solution, powered by Intel® Xeon® processors, is ideal for a range of VDI environments, including those that start small and grow or require GPU acceleration. VxRail Appliances, powered by Intel® Xeon® processors, remove the complexities of having to stand up a new, traditional yet siloed, infrastructure to run VDI, dramatically speeding time to deployment and reducing costs. The addition of Dell EMC PowerEdge servers, powered by Intel® Xeon® processors, enhance the solution with VDI acceleration nodes that feature purpose-built GPU hardware for graphics intensive virtual desktops

To experience a high-tech social media strategy that's incredibly high-touch, book a weekend at the Mandarin Oriental in Miami and see how it's done perfectly.
Yet success stories continue to pour in. Sales from friends we haven't seen since high school. Referrals to their friends, and their children. Long distance connections to friends of friends of friends. None of which required a single ad, phone call or in-person meeting. Just people connecting to people by wall, tweet and text.
Can social media selling be high-tech and still high touch? Just ask the Mandarin Oriental in Miami.
The Mandarin does so many things perfectly. From the initial greeting to the charming room service, the high-touch personal experience is everywhere. So you can understand the challenge for a company whose strategy is service takes the leap into social media. It's no small feat to translate perfect attention to people, by people, onto a Facebook fan page.
The Mandarin makes it look easy. It starts by doing what they've always done: Paying attention to people. Consider the beginning of my experience.
After making my reservation, I visited the Mandarin's Facebook page. It's what customers do with their trusted brands: join the brand experience online. I didn't expect much to come from my innocuous posting. Yet the Mandarin's response was far from simple. It was social networking sales perfection. Surely, they could have just replied "We're looking forward to your arrival!" But the Mandarin did more. They went beyond the auto-response into the relationship. They clicked on my name, viewed my profile, saw I lived in Boston where it's freezing and buried in snow, and tailored a response that targeted my expectations for the weekend.
Simply perfect!
That's what sales is all about. As Peter Drucker said, the purpose of sales is to know the customer so well that your product or service fits them and sells itself. It took mere seconds for the Mandarin to click and learn all about me, then talk to me about me. Not talk about themselves, their hotel. They immersed the customer in their value proposition: Attention to the customer.
And yet, there was more to come.
After arriving at the Mandarin Friday night, I ordered room service. Within five minutes, my doorbell rang. Thinking it was amazingly fast response time, for any kitchen, I opened the door utterly surprised. It wasn't dinner. it was something better:
Chocolate sushi.
The man at the door explained it was a complimentary welcome gift from the manager. A nice gesture, but not necessarily one any hotel couldn't duplicate. I seem to remember one chain offering warm cookies in the past.
Once again, the Mandarin proved it's no ordinary brand. Accompanying the chocolate sushi was an envelope. I almost didn't open it, thinking it to be a form-printed "thanks for spending the weekend at our hotel." I'm glad I did, because here's what I found:
Talk about complementing the high-tech with high-touch!
The Mandarin did something very clever: It rewarded me for doing something I didn't have to do: make a nice comment on their Facebook page. Rather than simply thank me at the front desk, they did something extra: They used a small gift – chocolate sushi – to complete the marketing circle. They completely integrated the experience – from online to offline – and proved that social networking can be a powerful component to a delightful customer experience.
And, they benefitted tremendously. I'm writing this blog, spreading the positive experience to my sphere of influence. That's the whole goal of social network selling. Getting people who trust your judgment to trust your favorite brands. The Mandarin's sphere of influence is surely expanding. And they've created a "fan for life" who will surely tell this story, over and over.
That's social influence.
Alas, the one thing the Mandarin could not control is the weather: It's raining in Miami today. Yet I'm sitting here on the balcony, enjoying room service and smiling ear-to-ear about my experience with the Mandarin.
Makes you wish the Mandarin, who can deliver a delightful customer experience from online to offline, could control the weather too!
*** UPDATE: The next morning, the Mandarin's PR department called me! They noticed that I'd written the blog, and wanted to share it across their social media sites. Of course, I agreed. Then they asked me to make a tiny change to the "ending" of the blog. They informed me they could indeed control the weather: They invited me to spend the day in the spa! Nice!!

How long does the trip take?
Our trips typically last 2.5 to 3 hours, round trip. Your float time on the river can last anywhere from 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the time of year and river flows. The additional time accounts for transport to the put in point, restroom use, and a safety briefing.
How do I get back to my car?
We pick you up in the designated float trip parking area. Your guide will greet you, and then he will drive you 10 miles north to our launch point. We then float you back to the area where we picked you up. The take out point is less than a hundred yards from the parking lot.
Where do we meet you?
We meet everyone in the designated float trip parking area near the Grand Teton National Park Headquarters buildings in a town called Moose, Wyoming.
The parking lot is located across the street from the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center. Because it is a parking lot, we are unable to provide an address for use of a GPS. A generalized area of where we meet is 1 Teton Park Road, Moose, Wyoming 83012. Please contact the office for specific directions, rather than using a GPS, as navigating systems are unreliable in our area. Many roads that you will want to access are seasonally closed, and a GPS can take you miles out of your way. Also, if you enter Solitude Float Trips into your navigation system you will be directed to our office in the town of Jackson, 13 miles from our meeting location.
The float trip parking area is on the same side of Teton Park Road as the Moose post office next to the National Park administration building. You will be able to see outdoor bathroom facilities and the Snake River from this location. If you are coming from Jackson, turn left at Moose Junction. Precede 0 .5 miles crossing over the Snake River and turn right at the first stop sign you see.
You will know you are in the right place when you see brown signs that read, "Float Trips Meet Here" and "Float Trip Parking Only." Don't be concerned if you do not see a Solitude sign or guide when you arrive. You will see the Solitude vans pull up at your exact trip time. If you see them drive past you they have more than likely just gotten off the river from a previous trip, and will drive to the back lot to prepare for your trip before picking you up.
Please note, we are unable to pick you up at your hotel or at any other location other than the designated float trip parking area in Moose (this includes Deadman's Bar).
What time do we need to arrive?
Please be in the float trip parking area and out of your car ready to go 5-10 minutes before your scheduled trip time. There is no reason to arrive any earlier unless you choose to do so as a matter of personal preference. We recognize that any number of issues can cause delays. We request that you call our office at 307-733-2871 if you are running late. We will do our best to wait for you, but please keep in mind that you are joining others on this trip (unless you have reserved a private raft). They have taken the time and effort to show up promptly and we have a duty to all guests to be respectful of their time.
What is your cancellation policy?
- For a party of 1-10 – rescheduling or canceling for any reason at least 24 hours prior to the time of your trip will result in a full refund
- For groups of 11 or more or private rafts – we require at least one week prior notice
- For 2 or more private boats – we require at least 2 weeks prior notice
We feel this is a very generous policy; therefore, we strictly adhere to this policy because we have a limited number of rafts allocated to us annually by GTNP and many people who wish to experience the Snake River through our company. This is an extremely popular activity and we regularly turn people away. Notifying us in advance gives us time to offer your seat to others.
We understand there are times that you will be unable to notify us before the cancellation deadline due to illness, flight cancellation, or other unforeseen circumstances. If this happens, we will do our best to sell your seats and you will be refunded based on the number we are able to sell. If we are unable to sell any of your seats, you will not receive a refund of any kind. Just like other entertainment venues this is an assigned seat you have purchased. If you are not comfortable with this policy please consider reserving the day of; however, seats may or may not be available.
What about bad weather? What do we do if it rains?
We request you meet our guides at your designated trip time regardless of the weather. Unless there is an added risk due to the weather, or it is going to make the trip unbearable we usually float. If you should get caught in rain we will provide ponchos. Weather in the mountains can change quickly, and we watch radar constantly. Rain showers typically last about 15 minutes and might delay the launch, but it is usually not cancelled. The average rainfall in this area between May 15th and September 30th over the past 5 years is 4.19 inches. If the guide chooses to cancel, or he gives you the option, and you do not want to go, we will do our best to reschedule you. If rescheduling at this point is not possible we will refund your payment entirely.
When is the best time to go? When will I see wildlife?
All of our trips are unique and offer different advantages. As for wildlife, the conventional wisdom is that animals are more active during the early morning or late evening hours. While this might be true, we have found that our early afternoon trips have proven to be just as reliable for spotting wildlife. Because of how unpredictable wildlife sightings are, we recommend you choose your trip time based on a schedule that works for you. The 9:30 allows a leisurely start to the day, off the river by noon and the rest of your day to plan other activities. The 1:30 is the perfect relaxing activity after lunch, usually warm but not ever too warm. After an adventurous day, you can relax on an evening trip. It is a very peaceful time to be on the river. The shadows are long and dramatic with wonderful photo opportunities and a great way to end the day. We assure you the Teton Range is consistently stunning at all times of day, and our guides are all entertaining and knowledgeable.
Will I get wet? Can I bring a nice camera?
Our scenic floats are mild and you should stay dry. This includes your feet getting in and out of the boat. With that said, we encourage you to bring cameras and binoculars, should you desire, but at your own risk.
Are there age restrictions? Am I too old to go?
Children: In order to participate in the scenic float, your child must be at least five years old and weigh at least 50 pounds. This will ensure that she is properly fitted for a personal flotation device (PFD or life jacket). Additionally, consider your child's attention span as the trip is about two hours in duration (2.5 counting shuttle) with no stops (or restroom breaks) on the river.
Older Adults: We welcome older adults to participate in our scenic floats. Should you have concerns about the trip, please review the athletic/fit for more information. If you have special concerns it might be best for you to call the office to describe your specific situation as a person must be able to self-rescue in the unlikely event that it should become necessary.
Are there weight restrictions?
All guests must be properly fitted in one of our adult USCG Approved Personal Floatation Devices in order to participate in a float trip. This generally means adult guests must weigh between 90-260lbs with a chest size not to exceed 56 inches. Should you be interested in floating with us and do not meet these guidelines we ask that you call our office to discuss possible options. Additionally, for your safety we request that you honestly reflect upon the mobility requirements listed below.
How athletic/fit do I need to be?
While a scenic float is not necessarily an athletic activity per se, some agility and mobility is required. Drivers and guides can offer some assistance to you, but you must be fundamentally responsible for yourself throughout the course of the trip.
Specifically, you will be transported in a 15-passenger van, which will require you to step up into the van and possibly climb into the back, if necessary. You will ride in the van for a short shuttle (15-20 mins) to the launch. At the launch, you will need to be able to climb three steps onto the trailer we use for a dock. Once on the trailer, you will walk approximately 16 feet to the raft where you will be required to step down into the raft (approximately 18-20 inches). Once on the raft, you will sit on the tube of the raft. Please note there is no cover on the raft for shade or solid back support. When you disembark, you will be asked to walk on uneven ground up a river bank approximately 5 yards until you reach flat pavement. You are then approximately 100 yards from where your car is parked. The landing area changes depending on the time of year, with there being little room to maneuver when the water is high (typically May – July).
Please note it is very difficult for our office staff to assess your particular situation from afar. We ask that you reflect upon these requirements honestly and determine for yourself if you believe you are capable of participating in this activity.
How soon should I book my trip?
We have limited seating, and we regularly turn people away, so we recommend booking as soon as you know your plans. Obviously, the larger your party is the more difficult it will be to accommodate if you wait. We do ask you to refer to our cancelation policy any time you reserve ahead of time.
Will there be other people on the raft? How many?
Our rafts are large, and are custom built for this stretch of river. We typically put 12 people on a raft though the rafts will accommodate more. Our guide will be rowing and navigating the combined weight of the guests and the weight of the raft. Limiting the number of people also allows for plenty of elbow room, and a small back pack. If you prefer not to share the guide or raft with others you may opt to reserve a private raft. We have a limited number of rafts that we are permitted to launch, and provided we have the availability you can reserve a private float trip.
What should I wear?
You should not get wet on this trip, so wear what you are comfortable in. It can be a little cooler on the river so if you step outside, and you are comfortable with what you are wearing grab one more layer – just in case. Feel free to bring a small back pack for your personal belongings; just don't leave anything in the shuttle van as you won't be back in the van after your float trip. Even your feet should not get wet, so you can wear most shoes like tennis shoes or flip-flops. We just ask that you not wear shoes that could damage the raft, such as cleated hiking boots, sandals with heels, or other hard soled shoes.

5 Low Cost Home Décor Ideas You Must Try!
Thinking of changing your home or renovating it? Chances are that you might end up costing a fortune in either of the cases just because you went overboard with all the options which were available to you. Maintaining home décor on a low budget is an art that needs to be mastered over time. However, let's not be confused about it! Follow these 5 easy steps to decorate your home while staying within your budget.
- Make old Furniture Look New
Yes! You heard it right! If you are tired of looking at the same old furniture items in your home; it's time to give them a new look instead of discarding it away. You can use sandpaper to polish a piece of furniture first and then use two or three regular coatings of paint.
A nicely colored coat of paint to your good old sofa set can change it into a brand new one without falling heavy on your pocket.
- Budget Planning
For any home décor or home improvement project; the first and foremost thing that one should adopt is a proper plan or strategy especially when the budget is the real deal here. No one likes to be in an awkward situation where a newly bought couch in your living room has cost you a fortune.
Doing the necessary homework before opting for home improvement will help you in the long run and your bank account will thank you later for keeping it going steadily. Take your home décor inspiration via online websites; magazines, home improvement blogs in newspapers and various deals offered by the companies. Once the research has been done; then plan out your finances.
- Go For Second Hand Shopping
Yes! Don't be uncomfortable with the idea of second hand shopping. Go out and get a detailed insight about your local market. Check out various deals and offers especially over the weekends or near the holiday season.
Make sure that when you shop for second hand items for your home; you don't compromise on quality because there is no room left for it anyways. Quality can overcome style on any given day. So, go out and investigate about each and everything that you intend to purchase for your home. Find the best bargains around and grab fine, quality items for your home.
- Color It Well
One of the most important tools for home décor is to go easy on colors. This doesn't mean that you can't adopt bold colors for your home. You certainly can! But make sure that whatever color you opt for; it should not be unpleasant to the eyes and does not give a very gaudy image.
It is recommended to always check out the color schemes from a local paint shop that would help you to get a better idea about the latest trends in colors.
- Stay Organized
While doing home décor; saving money should be your topmost priority but make sure that you don't get carried away with it by starting too many design projects at once.Generally; new home owners fall prey to it because they want to decorate everything at the same time. Here! The need to stay organized is very important.
Do add some nice King size bedspreads and pillows in your bedroom that will alter your bedroom look pretty fast. Pick the room that is in need of restructuring the most and start from there; slowly taking it to the rest of the home.You can try these tips for now and when you are financially stable; start off with the next project so you may not fall out of budget at any time.

'Kinki' is an abstract animated film that combines the genres of horror and psychological thriller. The main character, a murderer, records images in his mind which he then uses to reconstruct his crimes. This film attempts to contemplate the real objects (set here and now), which are completely different from the distorted images stored in the killers mind. The matter that surrounds this character, and which he knows so well, is unreal and dreamlike thus unrecognizable. The murderer is devoid of any criteria that would allow him to identify and separate his mental image from reality. Then, slowly, fragments of the images begin to come together forming a logical whole, from which we find out that the murderer is also the victim

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind."
William James
What some of the students say:
"A really interesting and fascinating subject."
"I love how we get to try out some of the studies ourselves!"
"I would definitely say choose psychology – it is hard-work, but definitely worth it!"
"There is so much to learn and I really enjoy learning about why we behave in certain ways."
"Prepare to actively put effort in to this subject – it is a very interesting topic and really worth it, but you must be prepared to commit yourself 100%."
"Keep an open mind-set – there is so much to learn; do not be afraid of hard-work because psychology is an amazing subject and it is worth it."
"I would definitely recommend psychology! It stands from all the other subjects as it is something different."
"I love how it makes you look at things in a totally different way!"
As we grow older and progress through life, do you ever sit and wonder: why did this happen? Why did I behave in this way? How did I develop? Why do certain people behave the way they do? Why do people become criminals? How are we all different?

No, Bowe Bergdahl didn't wander off during court
Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, held for about five years by the Taliban after disappearing in Afghanistan, has taken off again -- this time during his own court proceeding, says Duffel Blog.
"Bowe Bergdahl wanders off during court-martial," said the October headline in Duffel Blog.
Here's the accurate backstory: Bergdahl walked off his remote post in Afghanistan in 2009 and was captured by the Taliban. The military searched for him, and officers were injured in the process. Bergdahl was freed by his captors in 2014. In return, the United States agreed to turn over five Taliban officials being held at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, prison to the country of Qatar. President Barack Obama's controversial decision to exchange Bergdahl angered many Republicans, including then-candidate Donald Trump.
The Duffel Blog says that Bergdahl now has walked out of a military courtroom during a pre-trial hearing, prompting a statewide manhunt.
"Sources inside the courtroom say that Bergdahl took only a half-full Camelbak and a long hunting knife with him as he calmly made his way to the exit during his own lawyer's remarks to the judge regarding a possible plea deal," states the article.
He left behind a note, the blog says:
"Life is way too short to care for the damnation of others. I am ashamed to even be an American (deserter)."
Facebook users flagged the post as being potentially fabricated, as part of the social network's efforts to combat fake news. This story is fake.
The article then becomes more ridiculous. It says that a few military personnel were injured in the manhunt and that "ISIS and Al Qaida have both claimed responsibility for the casualties, though their claims have yet to be verified."
The Pentagon offered a reward for information about Bergdahl's whereabouts: "$25,000 or seven Guantanamo detainees, depending on the credibility of the information."
"Officials are warning the public that if they see Bergdahl, they should not attempt to approach him, since he may try to surrender and become their responsibility for the next five years," states the blog.
The article linked to an Oct. 12 Washington Post story previewing an upcoming hearing for Bergdahl.
Multiple news outlets including the AP reported that Bergdahl entered a plea of guilty during the Oct. 16 hearing at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He didn't wander off during his hearing.
"I understand that leaving was against the law," Bergdahl testified.
On Nov. 3, a military judge ordered that Bergdahl receive a dishonorable discharge from the U.S. Army and reduced his rank from sergeant to private.
The Duffel Blog calls itself "the American military's Most Trusted news source" but readers will have to find the disclaimer to learn this is fake news.
"We are in no way, shape, or form, a real news outlet," states the disclaimer. "Everything on this website is satirical and the content of this site is a parody of a news organization. No composition should be regarded as truthful, and no reference of an individual, company, or military unit seeks to inflict malice or emotional harm. All characters, groups, and military units appearing in these works are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, or actual military units and companies is purely coincidental."
We contacted a person affiliated with the website and he told us, "Our 'about' page is pretty straightforward."
Bergdahl entered a plea during his hearing -- he did not wander off. We rate this headline Pants on Fire.

I've posted before about airline interviews, and I touched lightly on scenario questions.
Today I thought I'd expand on that.
A scenario question is designed to let the airline get an idea of how you handle tricky situations while under pressure.
I've collected a few scenario questions for you to try and answer.
1) Diaper Dilemma
Scenario :
You are in the middle of a meal service when a passenger with an infant hands a used diaper in your direction. She asks you to dispose of the diaper for her. What do you do?
Answer :
In this scenario they are testing your balance of cleanliness and customer service.
It's a rule that you can not take a dirty diaper while you are handling food, but at the same time you don't want to appear rude to the passenger.
The best answer here is: You inform the passenger that you can absolutely dispose of the diaper for her, however only after the meal service is complete.
Similarly, if she'd like to be rid of the diaper sooner than later she can dispose of it herself in the lavatory.
Bonus points if you recommend she seal it in an air sickness bag first.
2) A Few Too Many
Scenario :
Throughout the flight you've been serving alcohol to passengers. One passenger who you've been serving in particular has had quite a few drinks and is now becoming disruptive to the other passengers. He requests another drink from you. How do you deal with this situation?
Answer :
As a flight attendant you absolutely cannot over serve the passenger.
Like any other person serving alcohol, you are responsible for an intoxicated passenger during and after the flight.
In this scenario the correct thing to do is to cut the passenger off.
Be sure to offer some other beverage such as tea, coffee, or a soft drink instead.
3) The Kneeling Nelly
Scenario :
Your flight has finished boarding and you are preparing to push back. At this time a passenger gets up from his seat and kneels down in the isle. You request that he return to his seat and fasten his seatbelt but he insists he must continue to pray. How do you respond?
Answer :
This is an extremely tricky and delicate situation, so you'll want to use caution as not to escalate the problem.
I'd recommend before doing anything you seek the assistance of your superior if possible.
You'll need to again inform the passenger that for his safety and for the safety of those around him he'll need to return to his seat and fasten his seatbelt.
Let him know he is welcome to continue kneeling and praying once the flight as levelled off and the seatbelt sign is turned off.
If this is unacceptable then you can offer to let him leave the plane and continue praying in the airport.
He would then have to catch a later flight.
I'm aware that the second option would delay the flight longer than allowing him to continue, however that would also set a precedent that could delay further flights. Which is unacceptable.
4) Silly Snorer
Scenario :
You are working an evening flight when the passenger in 38B complains to you that the passenger in 39B is snoring too loudly. What do you do?
Answer :
The first rule in play here is not to wake the sleeping passenger.
Although this would probably satisfy the passenger in 38B, it would likely anger the passenger in 39B.
Luckily there are a few alternatives: Firstly if there is another seat open in the cabin, you can suggest that the passenger move to the new location.
Alternatively you could offer him/her a pair of ear plugs or headphones. In the case of the headphones I'd recommend the passenger listen to the classical music or jazz stations, as that might help them fall asleep as well.
Do you have different answers that you think might be better?
How about other scenarios? I'd be pleased to hear from you!

Most long-time locals think of Sellwood, Oregon as a seperate city from Portland but in fact it is now actually a Portland neighborhood. I guess I am one of those older Oregonians. It can be confusing because Portland combines Sellwood, Westmoreland, and Eastmoreland into one neighborhood called Sellwood-Moreland.
Sellwood has always had a flavor of its own, a bit different from Portland. There was a time when it was a bit rundown and many of the middle-class homes on the shady tree-lined streets were not kept up. Then gradually people discovered that these old homes had a lot of charm and were a bargain to buy and refurbish. Plus the area has an abundance of beautiful parks and places to be outdoors enjoying nature. Just a good all around place for families. Westmoreland is similar. As one writer put it, "In Westmoreland, people mow their own lawns. In Eastmoreland, they have a gardener."
There are some unique shops in Sellwood where you can find things out of the ordinary. The Portland Homestead Supply Company has canning, preserving, and pickling supplies. They have everything you need to make your own cheese, yogurt, wine, beer, soap, candles, and every kind of food grinder you can possibly thing of.
At the Savory Spice Shop you can get freshly ground herbs and spices, salts, and extracts plus dehydrated mushrooms, specialty sugars and more. A good place to get a gift for that gourmet cook on your Christmas list.
The Silver Lining sells top-brand resale women's clothing and accessories. A great place to save some money on expensive clothing.
Tilde is an unusual shop carrying accessories for the body and home - paper goods, handbags, jewelry, tableware, and art. The shop has been featured on MSNBC for its professional window displays.
If you have been buying socks from Sock Dreams online you will be pleased to find out they actually have a bricks and mortar store and it is in Sellwood. As the name suggests, you can purchase any kind of sock your heart desires at this store. If you are not already familiar with Sock Dreams take a look at their website.
Stars and Spendid
When I think about spending a day "antiquing", my term for going antique shopping, Sellwood is always first on my list of places to visit. For years and years it has been my favorite place to go in Portland for architectual salvage. You can spend hours combing through the stuff in 1874 House Antiques if you are refurbishing an older home. I will never forget the day I found the perfect old door knobs that I had been wanting for ages.
Here is a list of antique and collectibles shops you can visit. There are more. You can't help but see them when you are there.
You won't have to go without your coffee fix in Sellwood. Besides the usual Starbucks there is Blue Kangaroo Coffee Roasters or you can visit Grand Central Bakery and have a delicious pastry along with that coffee and take a fresh-baked loaf of bread home for later.
If you prefer tea, visit Jade Bistro Teahouse and Patisserie for a cup of classic black tea, ginger peach tea or lemon hibiscus tea. At lunch and dinner time you can also enjoy Vietnamese-Thai dishes prepared by Lucy Eklund, a native of Viet Nam.
Jenny Cestnik
If it is pizza you are hungry for, try Pizzicato for the usual favorite combinations or try Salsiccia Roma with fennel sausage, red onions and roasted peppers. Or the Puttanesca with fresh tomatoes, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives and feta on garlic/olive oil base. If pizza is not your thing have one of their delicious Paninis and a salad.
Some say Gino's is the best Italian Restaurant outside of San Francisco. Cioppino is a favorite as is the Vongole, a classic sauce of fish broth and manila clams on spaghetti. Try the Walnut Tart Coconut Cream Pie for dessert.
Sellwood Riverfront Park is just a nice place to be on a sunny day but there are plenty of shady areas if that is what you want. You have good views of the Willamette River and depending on the river level, a nice sandy beach along the water's edge.
There are picnic tables, a playground for the kids, an off-leash area for dogs, restrooms, a boat dock, and plenty of walking/biking trails. In fact, you can walk/bike all the way to Portland following the Willamette River ending just past the Ross Island Bridge on the paved Springwater Corridor. On your way you will pass Oak Park Amusement Park, Sellwood Park swimming pool, and Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge.
You can get a delicious picnic at Feastworks, a new deli at 1325 SE Tacoma Street. They specialize in sausages of all kinds and have a delightful selection of salads and desserts.
During the summer months there are free concerts on Monday evenings. This year the schdule is:
Concerts begin at 6:30 pm.
Westmoreland Park is a good sized park with lots of grassy areas. There are picnic tables, diamonds for baseball, areas good for informal soccer play, and playgrounds for the kids. There are two shallow ponds one of which is popular with RC boat enthusiasts. The park is heavily populated with ducks and Canadian Geese which can be fun to watch and feed but be sure you check the bottom of your shoes before you get back in your car.

The rhododendron garden is a fantastic place to visit in the spring and summer months when the rhodies are in bloom but it is also nice other times of the year as well. You will find small streams and lakes, paved and unpaved paths, little waterfalls, and thousands of rhododendrons and azaleas. This is a popular venue for outdoor weddings. There is an entry charge April to Labor Day of $4 except on Monday and Tuesday. Dogs on leash are welcome.
Oaks Pioneer Church isn't really a park but it has park-like gardens. The church is a poplular place for both weddings and funerals. The church was built in 1851 and was first located downriver in the city of Milwaukie. It was moved to this location in 1960.

2 events within the framework of the FIFA Grassroots/MA program will take place in the North of Kyrgyzstan from 13 to 17 May. The event is organized by the Football Federation of Kyrgyz Republic with technical assistance provided by FIFA.
Grassroots program is the Football for Everyone. Anyone in the age of 6 to 12 years old can take part in it. The values of the program are the reduction of racial, age, economic barriers between children of early age.
The purpose of such events is to improve basic skills in the game, as well as football promotion not only among young athletes playing football, but also among those who are not playing football.
The program of events is divided into 2 stages: the first stage is theoretical courses (13-14 May) that will be conducted in Bishkek. Theoretical courses will be held by the FIFA instructor specifically for coaches, sport instructors, and physical education teachers, who then will use methodology and knowledge acquired during the course, in practice. The second stage is practical. The practical stage implies festivals (15-17 May). The Grassroots Festival is a one-day event aimed at children who have never played football, or who are just starting to play it. The festival will be attended by boys and girls aged 6-12 years old.
Through the perfect balance between the games without instructions and technical exercises with instructions, through games with incomplete teams and technical exercises used during the Grassroots festivals, children will have an opportunity to enjoy the game, learn to play independently, learn social skills, and improve basic football skills.
And already in September 2014 it is planned to conduct similar Grassroots courses and festivals in the South of Kyrgyzstan.

Online dating seems to be a stressful business.
How do you present yourself in the best way possible, in order to impress potential hookups/loves of your life?
Do you dare slightly alter pictures to make yourself appear more tanned, toned and generally hot?
Do you do a bit of lying about your hobbies, just like on your C.V.? (I know ten languages, love hiking, charity work, and hand-feeding puppies in need).
One man enlisted the help of his friend to choose the photos to go on his profile, and the mastermind decided to do something beautiful.
He added tiny images of sloths into each photograph, like the sly genius that he is.

57-year-old puppeteer Steve Whitmire, who has been the voice of Kermit the Frog since 1978, was fired from his job over what the studio is calling "repeated unacceptable business conduct" that was over "a period of many years." The statement, which was given to The Associated Press, also claims that Whitmire "consistently failed to address" the issue.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Whitmire said that he was fired after expressing views on how the beloved character should be portrayed in ABC's Muppets mockumentary series that aired from 2015 to 2016. "I have been outspoken about what's best for the Muppets since the Muppets came to Disney [2004]," he said. "The fact is I have respect for everyone who was involved in the creation of that series for their own particular contributions. At the same time, I also have insight into their limitations with respect to how well they know the Muppets."
Meanwhile, Lisa Henson — the daughter of the late Jim Henson, who founded The Muppets — told The New York Times that she supports the studio's decision to fire Whitmire, claiming that he "played brinkmanship very aggressively in contract negotiations" and was hostile about training an understudy. Lisa is the president of the Jim Henson Co., and sold The Muppets brand to Disney in 2004.
In addition to his interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Whitmire penned an emotional blog post about him leaving the franchise after all these years. "This is my life's work since I was 19 years old. I feel that I am at the top of my game," he wrote. "I want all of you who love the Muppets to know that I would never consider abandoning Kermit or any of the others because to do so would be to forsake the assignment entrusted to me by Jim Henson, my friend and mentor, but even more, my hero."
Kermit will now be voiced by Matt Vogel.
