Moorish lawn with his own hands
Moorish lawn - is blossoming meadow thatseeded not only the green grass, and colorful flowers. These lawns have created many centuries ago in Spain and North Africa. Then the Moors and Arabs formed their own state and built palaces with magnificent parks, which combined elements of the cultures of different peoples. Slavs, living in Spain, is very bored on his own home, so the gardens planted wild flowers to express their love for the motherland. These colorful field very quickly became popular.
- Advantages and disadvantages of variegated garden
- Selection for the Moorish lawn mixture
- Soil Preparation and Maintenance
When an era of geometrically correctflowerbeds and clipped lawns, Moorish gardens began to go into the background and forgotten all about them. But nowadays more and more people are discovering the beauty of motley grasses in their area.
Advantages and disadvantages of variegated garden
Motley grass, unlike the monochromatic green,surprisingly diverse. It changes its appearance about once a week and always pleasing to the eye with new buds. It is not necessary to regularly mow or cut, because all the plants on the lawn will be green round summer. If some flowers dropped petals and dried up, it will be enough to go and manually collect dead stems. You can use the garden shears or secateurs.
This lawn does not need to be planted every spring. Moorish grasses sprout and grow thicker and more beautiful with each passing year. If, however, appeared in the lawn bald spots, should not be upset, it is always possible to correct, to plant seedlings in a problematic place annuals.
Deficiencies in this lawn is not a lot, but thosethat is, not so large as to compare them with the above advantages. Yet, if the usual green grass you can drive the ball, the flowers in the Moorish lawn will not tolerate trampling. Walk on the flower garden is acceptable, you can put up shop and run and frolic and you yourself do not want to.
Next minus too correct, it ASAPrefer to the recommendations for plant selection. So: the lawn should bloom from late May to early October, so the color class must be early, late and middle seeds in one package. Otherwise, your garden will look like a field with dandelions - one week it perfectly illuminates yellow heads, three days - white balls and the rest of the summer - green monotony. In general, a properly selected seeds - is the key luxuriously blooming meadows.
Selection for the Moorish lawn mixture
To use the Moorish lawn more oftenthe seeds of grasses, like fescue and ryegrass. Simply put - it's fine cereals, which do not require special care, good experience frost and drought. They are mixed with various kinds of seeds of perennial and annual flowers.
Such mixtures contain sometimes up to forty speciesvarious annuals. The best option would be the composition, which will include volunteer plants. These flowers are well survive the winter and spring, germinate by themselves, together with perennials. If buying a blend, you find that there is such a part of the plant, add them to your own. Otherwise, your garden will lose over time, some of their bright colors and will be washed out. Perennial flowering plants are usually unpretentious and low on growth. They also tolerate low temperatures and other extreme conditions.
An interesting occupation isindependent choice of plants for such lawn. And if you do flowerbeds than a year and have a lot of personally collected seeds, it also saves money.
To independently gather grass mixture, you need towe consider that it should consist of 20% grasses and 80% of the colors that are not only beautifully combined with spikelets, but also enjoy yourself. Making the choice is from which, most importantly, the right to combine plants for periods of flowering. For the Moorish lawn suitable for various bright colors. If you prefer the pale and delicate inflorescences, the contrast will still need to add. Macy's, tulips and grouse fine "dilute" the coloristic lawn. Also look beautiful daisy, marigold, forget-me, chrysanthemums, daffodils and crocuses.
Soil Preparation and Maintenance
Plant a Moorish lawn with his own hands notIt is easy. The main thing - to prepare the ground properly. To do this, dig up the site as for ordinary garden lawn. In too heavy knock down and the land can add peat and sand. At the same time, organic fertilizers are made. If the site was previously overgrown with weeds, then it must be treated with herbicide continuous action such as glyphosate or raundala.
Next, the soil must be leveled, compactedspecial garden roller and sprinkle it lightly settled. It is desirable in such a way to leave the site for several days, then loosen it slightly and sow seeds. In the first three to four weeks of a Moorish lawn watering the future need often, at least twice a day. It is better to set a fine spray as large drops can dislodge seeds from the soil.
When the plants sprout, care must be taken to includeThey had no weeds. If there are a large number rises, it is possible to repeat the spraying of herbicides. In principle, this entire process and reduces flowering lawn care.
Lawn mowing is rare, but it is necessary todo the right thing. For example, in the first year the grass is mowed once at the end of the season. This can be done only after the annual flowers ottsvetut and dispel their seeds. In the second year you need to look at the situation. It happens that the grass rises early flowering plants, because it has the autonomic system developed much better. In such cases, the May mowing can not be avoided, so as not to drown out the grass flowers. Grass shear should be not less than 8 cm. If the lawn mower in a position to put it is impossible, then it is better to use a hand trimmer or scythe. Cut vegetation should be removed from the site.
Generally, cutting the Moorish lawn - is veryindividual matter. Only when he saw riot of herbs, you can tell exactly to cut or not to cut. And no this problem can not be solved correctly host site. If you still have any doubts about the timing of mowing grass, then it is better to leave things as they are clean and the lawn once in late autumn. At least, you will not break the balance of flowering wild plants.
Now that vyznat how to createMoorish lawn with his own, and what colors to choose, you can safely get to work for him. Let your work pleases relatives and neighbors. Creative success to you and good luck!

Hobbit House
Delivery & Installation
Enchanted Creations delivers and erects all its playhouses. At the fore of every job we conclude the access status and design and construct the playhouses accordingly. If there is loads of access then we may well crane a finished house over a wall, within 15 minutes the playhouse is sited and we are gone. From years of experience, this is the preferred option. If the client is many miles away we will transport the houses by trailer or lorry to site where it is lifted to it's new home.
Quite often access is an issue and we will need to build pre constructed panels and fit out the playhouse. This can take a day to a few days depending on location and the product. It is always very difficult to estimate exact time plans for a build, sometimes it can take longer than expected. No matter the time scale we will complete the b
uild beyond your satisfaction.
In many cases we do require a power supply, if you are
during the build and/ or supplies are not available please let us know before the delivery date and confirm the method of access.
At the beginning of every contract we will identify the assumed delivery date, we will firm up the date towards the end of
the manufacture. We are making bespoke products where aesthetic and technical detail is changing throughout manufacture. These changes can have a direct influence on delivery times which is why we firm delivery date later on in the project. The cost of delivery and installation depends on your location and how accessible the site is, with each enquiry we either ask for a few images or will conduct a site survey where we can calculate the fee.
If you are planning a playhouse then it is worthwhile discussing your requirements early giving maximum lead time, production space can be pencil in prior to order acknowledgement.
The cost
The price of delivery and installation is in addition to the purchase price. Please ask for the prices but as a rule of thumb, are around 10% of the normal price for an average playhouse and 15% for a treehouse.

Anti-Aging Jackson MS | Improving The Aging Face
Our double board certified facial plastic surgeons, Dr. J. Randall Jordan and Dr. J. George Smith, perform anti-aging treatment and surgical procedures for the residents of Jackson and surrounding communities in Mississippi.
As the overall health of our society improves and the average life span lengthens, many people find themselves feeling younger than they appear. It is understandable then, that more people than ever before are consulting facial plastic surgeons for help in improving the signs of facial aging.
Candidates For Anti-Aging Surgery
We are often asked when is the best time to consider surgery for the aging face. In general, when sagging of the skin and bagging of the eyes are no longer temporary conditions relieved by rest, surgical rejuvenation may be appropriate. This obviously occurs at different ages for different people. Simply put, when one looks in the mirror, and the face no longer matches the inner spirit of youthfulness, consideration could be made for consultation with a plastic surgeon. Obviously this is a very personal and individual decision.
Causes Of The Aging Face
The changes that take place in the aging face occur because of several processes. The effect of gravity causes the skin and fatty tissue of the face and neck to sag downwards. The eyebrows are the first to be affected and may become noticeably droopy in the early 30's. Next, lines are noted extending down from the sides of the nose to beside the corners of the mouth. These are also due to gravity.
Concurrent with these events, the skin begins to lose its elasticity and temporary wrinkles from smiling, laughing and squinting become permanent. In some individuals, the membranes of the lower eyelids weaken and allow fat to protrude out and form bags. Even the top of the nose begins to droop as time goes on. Changes in facial volume also occur at the same time, with loss of fat, muscle and bone. This may lead to a "deflated" look as contrasted to the volume of youth. As soft tissue is lost, wrinkles will become permanent, much as the grape becomes the raisin with loss of volume.
Anti-Aging Surgical And Non-Surgical Treatments
It can be seen then, that depending on the course and extent of the aging process, each individual presents a different set of problems. In some, repair of lower eyelid bulges or elevation of a drooping brow may suffice. Other with more extensive changes may require a combination of procedures for optimal results. In general, a facelift, eyelid surgery or brow lift improves the sags and bags, whereas a chemical peel or laser resurfacing improves wrinkles. At earlier stages of aging, multiple office based procedures are now available that may be very successful in reversing some of the signs of aging.

How do I get an NDIS package?
In order to get a package approved by the NDIA, you will need to apply with the relevant documentation to validate what your particular disability is. Sometimes, getting this documentation is quite difficult, and we can point you in the right direction.
Along with this, you will need to prepare for the meeting with the NDIA – and this means thinking through your life goals, and looking at what supports you currently have in place.
Want to know more about how it works?
We've tried to boil it down as much as possible.
Do you already have an NDIS package?
Central Coast Primary Care are connected with all the key stakeholders in the NDIS jigsaw – and we can help you work through it as a trusted NDIS provider.That's great news. If you need a provider just for parts of your plan, give us a call. We don't mind which parts of your plan we help with. Some people just source Allied Health Providers through us. Other people just access our social programs. It's up to you, why not just try us and see if we deliver for you! Call Phillip Snell on 4365 2294 to discuss options.


text: Hi, On one (i686) box I have now an ssh server running, the random device created by the postinst script of the random-egd package. However, on another (amd64) box the installation fails. I tried with the file random from the random-64 package with the same problems using settrans -c /dev/random /hurd/random, but the created file /dev/random has unknown file attributes, causing e.g. ls /dev/random to fail with translator died. In the examples above /dev/random is a character special device, ls -l /dev/random at (i686): crw-r--r-- 1 root root 0, 0 Nov 4 20:41 /dev/random Trying the other proposed way to copy a binary file to /dev/random made openssh-server happy. But now /dev/random is an ordinary file, and the randomness is lower. Why does the first two methods fail on the 64bit box. Anything related to the 64bit vs 32bit architectures??

1. Shoot more video. Now that my computer is working well, video editing is feasible. I didn't shoot much when it was hard to edit and I'm kinda sad about that. Shaun is shooting lots of video so far this year as well, which is super exciting. An aside to this is that I've been enjoying going through older video I have shot. The footage above is from our 2012 trip to the Oklahoma Aquarium.
2. Extreme organization! Sure this falls under a few of the things (4. Hardcore cull my wardrobe, 20. Get everything boxed and bagged to donate, 25. Organize all the closets, 28. Write a list of major cleaning projects and do them all!) I have on my 30 before 30 list, but I feel like certain things just don't work into those updates. Though I guess they would if I got around to making that list of major cleaning projects. I should do that this week! Anyway, prior to getting that list written:
- I cleaned off the top of the fridge and tucked all of our first aid/vitamin stuff into a cute box.
- I went through all the kitchen cabinets and sorted our appliances. I have a few to get rid of and organized what we actually use to be easily accessible.
- I started organizing the pantry. That's definitely a project that involves more dry good storage containers and cute labels than I currently own.
3. Update this blog… weekly? This feels awfully ambitious.
4. Scanning negatives. All of my plans for timely film development ultimately fail. As such, when I finally get film developed it costs upwards of $50 for processing only (I never get prints.) and then it takes me months & months to actually scan all of it. I got a dozen rolls developed last summer and I've scanned… maybe half of them. Honestly I just have so many little creative projects going on, I'm only working on a few of them at a time and it's hard to find the time for every little thing I want to do, especially for these things that don't fit into my 30 before 30, if I'm going to be scanning, it should be my mom's photos for that project. It's fun to spread it out, though, it's interesting to see photos I took 6 years ago for the very first time.
5. Read 30 books. Last year my goal on goodreads was 25 and I skated in with 26. I miss reading. I miss sitting on the porch waiting for Shaun to get home from work with my feet up on the rail and a book in my lap. I've been spending a lot of time in the bath with a book too. I used to freak out that people did that, but I'm pretty careful and there have been no mishaps thus far! I'm less caught up in keeping things for best, I guess, so the pages get a little steamy, it's okay. I still wouldn't do it with a borrowed book, though!

This volume sets out to provide a complete resource for research, industry and development professionals, whose work is touched upon by tropical root and tuber crops. It is thus both necessary and timely as attention is focused on decline in diversity in human agriculture and nutrition driven by the advance of cereals. Roots and tubers are key providers of dietary starch and micronutrients.
The psychologist, Professor Charles Spence, Head of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at Oxford University, looks at our multisensory experience of food. What is on our minds as we eat? He has studied how our brains process and integrate the information from our senses and how we perceive the world around us.
Daniel Hefft, member of IFST's New Professionals Steering Group, talks about his career and transition from university to industry.

Welcome to Following the Whispers blog
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit. Hope you enjoy your stay. I blog here whenever I feel the need. This blog was created at the time my memoir came out, in February, 2009. Its motto was: creating a life of inner peace and self-acceptance from the depths of despair. Now, my focus is sharing this journey we call life.
"Only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth, and that is not speaking it." Naomi Wolf
"We are called human beings, not human doings." Wes Nisker, Buddhist teacher
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs…(And) if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." Theodore Roosevelt

I've been thinking about my favorite Beatle John Lennon this holiday season. Lennon was an international statesmen dedicated to the cause of world peace. All of us our focused on the economy and the squeeze we're currently feeling. Yet much of what is truly wrong in this world as Lennon himself observed is that too many leaders are insane. Hence, Lennon believed we had to "think locally and act globally" to advance the cause of peace and justice despite the homicidal maniacs in power. Naturally, homicidal rulers depict anyone who promotes peace as "dangerous" as was done with John Lennon whom President Nixon hoped to deport.
Alas, it has been over twenty eight years since Lennon was assassinated and too many lives, resources and talent remain consumed by humanity's war machine. Terrorists, religious fundamentalists and greedy corporatists have a death grip on our world and refuse to let go. Most people however prefer to live in peace and Lennon wanted to empower humanity to save itself.
Hat tip to Diane G over at the Wild Wild Left for finding this YouTube video of Lennon promoting the cause of peace.

The Jacko Steps were named after a Maroon bearing that name, local historian Dr. Lennox Honychurch give an overview of the Jacko Steps and famous maroon
"The maroons of Jacko's camp cut high steps out of the side of the cliff
The steps were designed in a way to give security to those above and to provide control over those attempting to scale the cliff. The historian Thomas Atwood describes these steps in his book of 11791.
Each step was high above the other, forcing people to pull themselves up at every stage.
When the pioneer planter A. Campbell bought the land in the 1980's He got workers to cut each step at a lower level for more easy access and he ran cables through iron loops alongside for added safety.
The cables are gone but the steps may still be visited.
One of the most important maroon chiefs commanding camps of escaped slaves in the center of the island during the period of slavery.
Born in Africa, Jacko (also written Jacco) escaped from Beaubois Estate (Castle Comfort) soon after his transportation to Dominica in the late 1760's. He established himself and his followers on a plateau near the present day village of Bells.
He was the main strategist for much of the maroon activity in Dominica during the Maroon wars of the 1780's and 1810's.
When Governor Ainslie launched his big offensive against the maroons in 1812. Jacko's camp was one of the main targets.
On 12 July 1814 ageing Jacko was surrounded and killed after a desperate resistance.
Reports at the time said that he had been in the forest " for upward of forty years." Five leaders of his camp surrendered and the loss of Jacko's leadership was a blow to the morale of the maroons".

How much are you willing to pay for independence?
I'm not talking about starting a new nation or cutting the chord with civilization. I'm referring to a part of modern life that is crucial to our standard of living, and which most people take for granted — a steady flow of electricity.
In a world where more of what we do is under surveillance, having the ability to grab back some control is admittedly attractive (wouldn't you like to tell your electric company to take a hike?).
But as more people install solar panels and force electric companies to buy back their excess power, utilities are suffering with soft demand and higher costs.
Installing your own solar panels can cost tens of thousands of dollars, but today you can lease them for little to nothing. In return, the solar companies accept all federal and state rebates earned, along with a monthly portion of the expected savings on electricity. But that doesn't free homeowners from the power grid.
A typical solar installation turns a home into a small power generation source. However, that power isn't used in the home until it travels up the line and back to the power company. The idea is that it will return to the home when the company distributes it.
This loop, which keeps the power company in the middle, is why homeowners with solar panels are still vulnerable to blackouts. To truly be energy independent, a home needs to store enough solar power for reserves, not to mention everyday evening use. This requires having a lot more battery storage available than most consumers are willing to buy.
But that could change.
As batteries become more efficient at storing power, and companies sell enough of them to bring down the cost, the price tag for installing them falls as well. And this is only part of the story.
As I've written before, electric utilities face a dilemma. They don't want to discourage renewable energy, but as more people turn their homes into mini solar power stations, they lose money. Not only are they required to buy excess power from homeowners, but they also must maintain all the lines and connections to homes that now consume much less power and therefore contribute little to their bottom line.
Now, electric companies are hitting back.
Hawaii Electric stopped approving solar-panel installations altogether, before the state's public utilities commission ordered them to restart the program. In Arizona, the Salt River Project utility received approval to charge solar powered homes around $50 per month. This takes a bite out of any savings that consumers thought they would achieve by going green.
The main issue is that while utilities suffer from falling revenue with consistent expenses, homeowners just want to spend less on energy. Something's got to give.
Today, sticking with the grid, selling power back to the local utility, and being content with a lower overall bill is the clear economic choice — especially with high battery costs. But as power companies and regulatory commissions have shown, they'll do anything to stay profitable, even if it means changing the rules.
For a higher price, consumers can completely sever the lines that tie them to the grid. That not only lowers their power bill, but also takes them out of any future decisions made by their local power companies.
Think about never having to worry about a rate hike, a special fee or surcharge, or a tree limb that brings down the grid by falling on a power line on the other side of town. Sure, they might be thousands of dollars poorer, but they can take comfort (I think) in the knowledge that they control their own electric destiny!
I'm not sure how much I would pay for this level of independence, but I'm certain that it's much lower than the current cost. Which means for now, my power and my rates still fluctuate with the whims of the electric company.

Repair XP Pro without CD. Boots to desktop but no key action works to restore system.Neither F8 or F10 works. Happened after Registry Repair. Any ideas welcome! Tnx
Does it boot in Safe Mode? If so, restore your backup of the registry (you did take a backup when doing the restore, I take it) or else restore to an earlier System Restore Point.
Alternatively, you could try Last Known Good Configuration from the F8 boot menu.
Borrow an xp cd. Best if you create a slipstreamed cd with sp3 on it and any special drivers so that you can use it.
You can always "repair" from any xp cd. You can not use it to install unless other issues are true.

Investment in France by the American firm Hexcel
Paris, September 30, 2014
The Minister for the Economy, Industry and the Digital Affairs welcomes news of a major investment in France by the American firm Hexcel
Emmanuel Macron, Minister for the Economy, Industry and the Digital Economy welcomes the decision by the American firm Hexcel to open a new carbon fibre production plant in Roussillon in southern France.
Hexcel Corporation is one of the world's leading manufacturers of advanced composites for use in aerospace, wind energy and industrial applications.
The company plans to invest a total of $200 million in 2015.
Productions lines for manufacturing polyacrylonitrile precursors (PAN) and carbon fibres will be set up at the Les Roches-Roussillon Chemical Platform, along with an associated quality laboratory and offices.
Construction of the new plant will begin in mid-2015; it will extend across 15 hectares and employ 120 people by the time it is commissioned in early 2018.
Minister Macron would like to take this occasion to point out that France has a great deal of investment appeal for foreign companies. He stated that, "flying in the face of common misconceptions, our country is a top destination for international businesses. Today, Hexcel's decision makes this clearer than ever before."
The Minister emphasised that France is Europe's number one recipient of direct industrial investments, and that it has the fourth largest FDI stock in the world. He added that, "in all, international firms account for two million jobs in France. Openness and investment appeal thus create economic activity. This is why we need to further encourage international companies to invest more in France."
The Minister praised the proactivity of the Invest in France Agency and the commitment of the full range of local stakeholders, particularly elected officials, whose involvement was critical.
Today, Emmanuel Macron and several elected officials will meet with Nick Stanage, Chairman and CEO of Hexcel, to thank him for his decision to continue to invest in France, and to discuss growth possibilities for the company in France in the coming years.

On December 28, 1988, the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum was officially incorporated and sanctioned in Harford County, by the State of Maryland. A historically-minded group of local citizens founded the Maritime Museum as a private, nonprofit, educational institution.
Those founding members included Charles E. Carter, John F. Carroll, Eldon duPont Homsey, Robert L. McVey, Andrew A. Thompson, and Josiah V. Thompson.
The founders recognized that the rich cultural and natural heritage of the Lower Susquehanna River and the Upper Chesapeake Bay was fast disappearing. The Havre de Grace Maritime Museum was primarily established to help protect these maritime traditions for future generations.
The Museum is located in downtown Historic Havre de Grace, but we are also within close proximity to Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington DC, New York and New Jersey.

This session will take a deep and pragmatic look at the complete architectural capabilities and suitability of HTML5, Flash and AJAX related technologies in an attempt to separate the fact from fiction. While the media has sometimes pitched headlines such as "HTML5 vs. Flash", the reality is that almost 100% of Flash relies on HTML and JavaScript today. Flash is not even directly comparable to HTML5 whereas the SWF file format might be a closer comparison. Do not dismiss this session as an Adobe push for Flash, the reality is that Adobe is very excited about helping drive HTML5 and the advancement of the W3C standard is going to have a significant impact on Adobe CS products such as Dreamweaver, video tools and Photoshop.
What HTML5 brings to the table is "choices" for those who are implementing future applications on the web and in order to make decisions, an understanding of the forces working against their desired outcome needs to be facilitated. The speaker will look at several specific areas such as video and simple animations and show benchmarks and optimizations that can be done to create an overall good user experience. Data will be shared as well as hypothesis about when one technology may offer an advantage over another.
As Senior Technical Evangelist for Adobe Systems, Duane Nickull is responsible for Adobe's messaging around Enterprise Architecture in the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web Services spaces plus Web 2.0. Previously Mr. Nickull co-founded Yellow Dragon Software Corporation, a privately held developer of XML messaging and metadata management software, acquired by Adobe in 2003. He previously served as CTO and President of XML Global Technologies, a publicly traded company acquired by Xenos Group in early 2003 where he co-architected several key technologies including XTRACT, an intelligence gathering and Bayesian theorem inference engine to flag persons of interest to law enforcement officials and recover stolen property.
Mr. Nickull has been called Mr. SOA by his peers during introductions to speak on the subject due to his overwhelming experience writing and contributing to the major Service Oriented Architectures (SOA's). Between 1995 and 2008, he spoke at over 750 venues in various countries around the world.

Hi Duane.
I apologize. I didn't want it to but I realize that comment sounds negative. The demos were FANTASTIC. It's extremely important to hear how Flash (and also other plug-ins you mentioned) are part of a balanced web developer's portfolio moving forward. You did maintain a fair perspective in the talk, and I found it most informative. Thank you for an engaging and balanced session!!!
Thank you! I really enjoyed being there and having such a great group of people in the room.
Good presentation of a hard to predict topic. I thought Duane did a good job of not forcing the Adobe cool-aide too much and was able to focus on the interaction between JavaScript, AJAX, HTML, and Flash. (He does work for Adobe, you know…)
I realized as I gave the talk that perhaps there was a lot of Flash but some of the demos were essential. I hope I came across as agnostic though. That was certainly the intent.
Good information, but a bit much of an ad for Flash. OK, the Molehill demos were cool tho….

This week I'm really cranky, especially in the garden. It's super hot and humid out, and every afternoon we get a fairly heavy storm which leaves the plants battered and soaking wet. Then the aphids come and stick to the damp leaves/petals of the plants. And then they need to be misted off, which makes the plants even more wet. Even the plants that flourish this time of year seem to be irritated about it all.
My camillia bonsai finally bit the dust this week. I knew it was coming, but it was still a huge bummer. And then Milo (the kitten) ate a baby lizard from the garden right in front of me, which I felt terrible about because I'm the one that let him go back out on the lanai. No more garden for Milo, at least not for a few months. Then one of the rose cuttings from Tom's mother's garden turned brown and withered overnight. It was a grumpy week for gardening.
I hate complaining about summer because I know from growing up in NY that it's the best time of year in *most* places. But in my head and heart, I am counting down the days until the weather goes back to being drier, cooler, and a little more kind to both plants *and* people.
Anyway, the one set of plants that seems to flourish right now is the petunias- I have them in a shady spot under the roofline so maybe that's why they are doing okay. They are barely getting any sun, and the rain barely grazes them. I know I keep sharing photos of them, but they are pretty much keeping my gardening enthusiasm going right now because they are still blooming.

Thank you to all the families who pay the School Fund for the whole year in the autumn term, it saves a lot of administration. If you pay termly, please can we ask for your contribution at the beginning of each term.
Online Payments
To make online payments, parents need to have registered with our online payment system. Please see the school office for details of how to do this. Once you have registered, payments can be made to the school via the link below.

Sicks silver lining
i caught the bug which has been raging around the commune last night. I threw up a couple of times, and felt poorly for some hours. And i am blessed with a strong constitution and we running basically at full strength this morning.
What surprised me was Willow's response. i am so rarely sick, i had not seen him move into this caretaker mode. Asking me if i wanted vitamin C or Epson salts. Suggesting that i lay down and take it easy. Offering to get me a glass of water.
Our interactions are more often male to male patterned: sarcastic, cutting, wrestling. This was a bit of an eye opening moment, that he cares for my welfare and is more complex than i was paying attention to.
One response to "Sicks silver lining"
Eman says :
Well of course he cares. You're one of his parents and if something's wrong with you, he's going to want to do everything he can to get you well. I've been the same way with an aunty of mine who was alway more like my sister. But any time she needed a shoulder to cry on or wasn't well, I was there no matter what.
It's good that he's like this. He's growing up into an amazing young man. I think bcus he's had amazing examples of how to be and also how not to be. It's a blessing from the Gods and Goddesses and Universe. 🙂

Mercy was an Imulsion pumping facility township located near the city of Char and built on the side of a cliff. It is Maria Santiago's home town.[1]
Pendulum Wars and E-DayEdit
During the Pendulum Wars, a series of bomb shelters were built in the town. During the wars, the UIR attacked the town and shattered it. Sometime after this, E-Day would follow and the city was evacuated.[2] However, it was largely unaffected by this initial attack, and Maria Santiago's parents were buried there after E-Day.[3] When the Hammer of Dawn counterattack began, the town was spared from the strikes, but it had a grandstand view of its neighbor city Char as it was flattened.
Lambent InvasionEdit
NOT SAFE FOR HUMANS!! any actual people (not un-people) coming to Mercy should STAY AWAY because there is something really weird going on like some kind of CRAY FEVER or SOME OTHER CRAP and I'm likely to SHOOT YOU if I can't tell you apart from those sickass freaks!
They're not gonna stop unless I stop them!!!!"
- — A warning letter about the pandemic posted in Mercy.[4]
Two years after the sinking of Jacinto, the town of Mercy became a major area of activity for refugees who came to rely on its primary Imulsion pumping station for resupply. However, in 17 A.E. its Stranded population faced an epidemic that was worse than Rust Lung. Serans in the town began falling ill with symptoms including fever and muscle pains. As the epidemic began to spread, the citizens of Mercy tried to fight it by boarding up the homes of the ill to keep it isolated, but it failed. In just a few short months, most of the town was affected, except for a few survivors, including one crazy old man who rigged the pipeline running through the town with explosive charges. He believed it was the Imulsion causing the epidemic, and wanted to keep it from spreading.
Delta Squad arrived in search of fuel for their trip to Azura, but found the town deserted and the fuel pump shut off. They followed the pipeline to find the fuel pump, and discovered the charges placed on the line. After deactivating the third charge, the crazy old man shot at Delta Squad and warned them about the 'fever' before running away. They soon discovered that the crazy old man had died, not by Locust but by a Former, a human who has turned Lambent. Swarms of them packed the area, and Delta Squad was surrounded, but they pushed their way towards the town hall, only to find themselves blocked. Swarms of Formers begin to attack them, and a Stranded on the balcony above them informs Delta to get on the machine gun to fend off the Formers. After defeating the wave of Formers, Delta Squad joins the Stranded inside, but before they can ask anything more than how the Lambency starts, more Formers ambushed everyone inside. The Stranded are immediately killed, and Delta Squad pushed through the Formers to the church, where they discovered the fuel pump. As the rest of Delta activated the pipeline, Dom visited his family's grave and left his COG tag along with Maria's necklace there. The pipeline was successfully activated, but the tanker was too heavily damaged to hold the Imulsion, forcing Delta to abandon their plan. They got back to Dizzy and Jace but were ambushed by the Savage Locust, and then the Lambent came to join the fight. Delta fought them off until Dom sacrificed himself by driving a truck into the tanker, detonating the Imulsion and destroying the enemy forces.
The attack left much of the deserted city destroyed, and its Imulsion pumping station rendered inoperable. The remaining Lambent and Locust infesting the city and its surrounding areas soon after were wiped out by the activation of Adam Fenix's Imulsion Countermeasure Weapon.

We keep your vehicles safe with a range of RV carports built to last. These affordable yet durable structures will protect and preserve whatever you keep under them.
Our business offers two different base styles for our customers to choose from for your convenience.

We're proud to offer a wide variety of options to allow you more freedom to customize your RV carport to fit your specific needs and budget.

We can put together a steel building that's perfect for protecting any size recreational vehicle, with options available as big as 24 feet tall and 100 feet wide. Our customers have ordered everything from basic RV carports to completely customized structures with add-ons. Want to go a step further than the traditional roof-only regular-style carport to make sure you keep your RV as safe as possible? We can deliver a camper carport with side protection, or roll-up doors up to 18 feet wide and 18 feet tall. By adding side protection to your RV carport, you can protect your recreational vehicle from the elements like rain, wind, and snow.

These custom structures can almost completely eliminate the risk of weather-related damage.

How to sharpen the grinder blade of my brain?
It's hard for your average smartie-pants and in nearly a year of operating outside of your traditional "get-it-done," information heavy, fast-paced, analytical work environment, I've definitely lost some of my so-called edge. My brain was never a knife -- more like an awesome antique grinder that chews up various pieces of meat and adds some spices and leaves it to age until it's spicy and delicious and totally new -- but now the grinder's dull and I'm feeling like I may never get back into any sort of game or groove.
I'm trying to juggle work here on the farm with packing up to go and setting up appointments with professors. And as if that wasn't enough, I feel like I have to go into these meetings with my future life already laid out in my mind's eye and my mind's eye has pinkeye or perhaps is permanently nearsighted and there's no lasiks doctor to be found.
So instead of impressing the hell out of professors with my intense focus and passion for just one thing, I'll have to settle for telling the professors the truth. The less sexy, and quite complicated truth that I'm not sure what I want to do, but I do know that it has to do with figuring out the role that social enterprise and social responsibility and business innovation plays in creating a more sustainable food system and using what I learn to do something.
Does that mean I want to open a french-fry truck that grows its own potatoes on the roof and uses excess fry grease as biofuel? Maybe.
Or perhaps I'd like to work as a program manager for someone like these guys. Or do research and teach and consult on the side for small food start-ups. Who the heck knows? If I'm honest, not me. At least not yet.
What I have realized is that I do know some things about food and sustainability and business and I need to start sharing what I do know with others instead of just piling up knowledge in my brain without really processing, organizing and using it for something.
This puts me in mind of a story I heard once (or maybe it was a dream?) about a hermit who holed himself up in a shack for years and years and years and read and read and read exhaustively, refusing to talk to anyone or engage with the world until he had figured out the meaning of life and secrets of the universe. Eventually, when he was old and wizened and barely able to stand, he emerged from his shack in the middle of the desolate woods, pronouncing triumphantly that he had solved the secrets of the universe. Then, if I recall correctly, he fell down and died.
Let me not be that hermit.

I think most of us feel the same way you do, Jess, about not knowing exactly what we want to do and when discovering what it is you want to do, feeling late in the game, not caught up, or accomplished - I know I do. And even those who know exactly what they want to do, it's still a process of discovery and negotiation between our ideas and desires and what's out there in the real world. Given all of the changes taking place - just to cite one example, I never thought I'd live to see a healthcare reform debate in my lifetime - who knows what the world will look like in 2-3 years when you're out of school? So, "...throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain. And I've no doubt that of the many wonderful people I know, you are one of the ones I don't need to say this to - so just take it as more encouragement from my little corner of the world. You have so much to offer Jess, I've got faith in you! Can't wait to see how things evolve next... xxxReplyDelete
Don't sell yourself short, Jessica. You were always one of the smartest people I knew.ReplyDelete
wait, what? there are graduate programs in food and sustainability?! where?!ReplyDelete
@ Heddy and DerekReplyDelete
Thanks friends for the encouragement! I've been getting in these negative moods -- out of character and not very productive, but your support and belief in me means the world.
@ teal!:ReplyDelete
Yup! They're popping up all over the place. I'm looking at Michigan State, UBC, Tufts, UC Davis, UCSC, Bainbridge Graduate Institute, Presidio Graduate School, and a few other places. I'm hoping to share more about the process as I get further along!
What a beautiful and witty sentiment. You will not be that hermit; you are a leader.ReplyDelete
By the way, I really like the French Fry Truck idea. Can I take the lead in your A Round of Financing?ReplyDelete

East (dōng, 东) and west (xī, 西) refer to opposite directions on the compass, but what does it mean if you put them together to form dongxi (东西) and why do Chinese often say they buy dongxi?
It is said that dongxi first originated during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 CE - 220 CE). There were two neighbouring towns sitting in the east and west. People said, "buy east" for going to the eastern town to purchase goods and, similarly, people said "buy west" when heading in the other direction.
As time passed, dongxi was used as a generic term for 'goods' and 'things'. You may wonder why we say "east-west" but not "south-north". The geographical locations of the two towns were just one reason.
In Chinese philosophy, east, south, west, north and the centre correspond with the Five Elements, namely, wood, fire, metal, water and earth. Both metal and wood can be carried in a basket, whereas fire and water cannot. Therefore, they are called east-west, dongxi.
The word dongxi has to be used with care though. It generally refers to objects and animals. If it is used with human beings, it has a derogatory meaning. Foreign learners of Chinese don't know this subtle connotation, and they often make Chinese people laugh when they say, "The teacher is not a dongxi; I'm not a dongxi either."
The students sound logically right, but in Chinese the expression "the man is not a dongxi!" or "What a dongxi you are!" are both very rude and humiliating. When parents say, "the wee, little dongxi doesn't behave," referring to their child, they often do it with plenty of affection, so don't judge them too harshly.

Category Design Agency was inspired by the book Play Bigger: How Pirates, Dreamers, and Innovators Create and Dominate Markets. The book was written by CDA Partner Kevin Maney along with Dave Peterson, Al Ramadan, and Christopher Lochhead.
Mike Maples founder of VC firm Floodgate, says of Play Bigger: "I believe that its ideas and frameworks will be relevant to the next ten years in the same way that the ideas of lean startups and customer development were to the last ten."
The book is the result of a data science study of thousands of venture-backed companies and more than 100 interviews with Category Kings. It makes a case for why "category is the new strategy," and defines and describes the new discipline of category design.

Babergh District Council have submitted Planning Applications for 78 new homes in Hadleigh, with proposals to develop both the former council offices on Corks Lane and the former care home at Angel Court.
The Planning Applications, validated and available on the council's Planning Pages website, propose to build 53 dwellings on the site of the former Corks Lane offices, with an additional four homes proposed on just across the River Brett at Bridge House, along with 21 flats at the former Angel Court site.
Both the application for Corks Lane and the application for Angel Court are available to view on the councils' Planning Pages.
The five listed buildings on the Corks Lane site will be repaired, refurbished and converted into residential accommodation to retain their distinctive presence on the site. In addition the office pavilions, constructed in the 1970s, will be converted into apartments rather than demolished, maintaining the backdrop to Hadleigh Cricket Ground. These proposals have been drawn up in consultation with heritage consultants to ensure the proposals cause the least possible harm to the buildings.
The open space immediately north of the River Brett, which forms a popular route for walkers, will also be retained as far as possible and continue to be publicly accessible. The plans include both maintaining as many of the existing trees on the site as possible, with replanting proposed to ensure there is no net-loss of trees.
Vehicles accessing the Corks Lane site will continue to use Corks Lane, while those visiting the Bridge House site will use the current entrance route to the car park, meaning future use of the site will be via the same routes that were used by Babergh staff when the offices were operational.
Under the plans submitted, in total the former Corks Lane site will offer:
While the former carpark and Bridge House site across the river could include:
The proposals were drawn up by Purcell Architects following public consultation earlier this year.
The proposals for the Angel Court site, on Angle Street in the town centre, would see 21 flats built, all of which would be affordable housing. The flats would include:
Cllr Frank Lawrenson, Babergh District Council Cabinet Member for Assets and Investments, said: "Hadleigh is a beautiful town in a stunning part of our countryside, and everyone agrees that leaving sites empty in the long term does the town a disservice. By bringing both the former office site in Corks Lane and the former care home site at Angel Court back into use, these proposals will help Hadleigh continue to be the thriving market town we all know, while also helping meet the real housing need there is in the town."
The proposals will now be considered by Babergh District Council's Planning Officers before going to Babergh's Planning Committee in the new year.

We are able to offer telephone advice and reassurance for those of you that are new to keeping livestock, and assist you with the rules and regulations associated with this. We also host daytime and evening meetings on animal husbandry, worming and general health and disease.
We operate our own out of hours emergency service, so whatever time of the day or night you may need us you will always see a friendly face.
Areas Covered
Area Days
We run 9 area visits each week where we offer a discounted visit charge to clients who have pre-booked for routine work. In return for the convenience of us planning our calls in the most efficient and time-friendly way, we reduce the call out to £29.38 inc VAT. Please see the map to work out which area you are in, or give us a call at the surgery on 01603 899930 and we can advise you as to what day we are in your area.

Terms and Conditions;Any payments received after months end will be shown on your next account.Clients will receive an invoice at the beginning of each month, at 60 days unpaid/overdue accounts will be subject to an interest charge of 1.6%
Poultry and Game
Poultry and Fowl –We offer advice on worming and parasite control as well as routine vaccination should this be necessary. If your animal becomes unwell we are able to offer an examination here at the surgery in Hainford, or if it is easier, in the comfort of your own home. All our vets are experienced in dealing with all types of birds. In particular Elliott Simpson has a particular interest in birds of prey and has spent a lot of time with the Norfolk Seal and Bird Trust, as well as Tom Hume who is listed in the 'Fancy Fowl' magazine as a poultry enthusiast.
Should you be unfortunate enough to suffer an outbreak of disease where you have a large number of sick or dying birds, we are able to offer a post-mortem examination in order to diagnose the problem and assist you in providing the most appropriate treatment.
Please see our Avian Page on the Zoo and Exotics section for more information.
Sheep and Goats
We can advise you on breeding synchronisation programmes for early breeding of ewes in January to ensure fat spring lambs, and can also perform pregnancy diagnosis (best to be done between 45-60 days gestation). We are also able to advise you on different health accreditation schemes, in particular Maedi-Visna accreditation which requires blood sampling to check your disease status. This is particularly important if you wish to show your sheep.
Goats –Similar to our sheep clients, we deal with large milking goat herds down to the pet goats in your garden. We can offer advice relating to husbandry, kidding, vaccination, worming, foot trimming and general ill health. We can also scan your goat for pregnancy, this is best done between 45-60 days gestation. In addition to this we offer a dis-budding service at the practice for removal of horn buds, this should be done ideally when the goat kid is less than 2-3 days old. The very latest it can be done is 10 days of age but we strongly recommend removal of horn buds at 2-3 days of age.
We are also able to assist with CAE Accreditation and testing for those of you that wish to sell milk products from your herd.
For seriously ill sheep, goats, lambs or kids we are also able to offer hospitalisation and intensive care at the practice in Hainford. We are able to provide intravenous fluid therapy (drip), blood and faecal testing, oxygenation and have the facilities and expertise to perform a number of operations.
We can advise you on different worming and vaccination protocols depending on your set up, and also the treatment of common ectoparasites such as mites and lice, as well as what to do with a sick pig. We are also able to advise and assist you with artificial insemination, as well as help with farrowing and post-farrowing complications such as uterine prolapse and MMA (Mastitis, Metritis, Agalacticae)
Owning a pig is a joy, that being said, they can also be difficult to handle and you should give proper consideration as to how you will handle or restrain your pig if they become sick. Farrowing crates are available; these can be used to restrain a pig for examination. The bare minimum handling requirements we would need would be a pig board and a solid sided pen or trailer. It is worth remembering that some pigs can weigh up to 200kg so they are not always cooperative patients!
We can also help you with fertility and reproduction, whether that is advice or assistance with artificial insemination, synchronisation, scanning for pregnancy, embryo transfer or help with a difficult calving. We have mobile battery powered ultrasound scanners which mean we are able to scan your cattle for pregnancy even when they are out to grass.
We can also offer advice regarding vaccination and worming as well asthe post calving routine, with much emphasis on colostrum intake, retained cleansings and calf health. Particular attention should be paid to a handling system for your cattle; the average cow will weigh between 500-700kg so adequate restraint is vital in order for us to be able to examine your animal thoroughly and safely. A minimum requirement is either a crush and race system, or restraining a cow or calf on a halter and using a gate to push them against a wall. As with all farm machinery, your crush should be well maintained and oiled regularly.

Referrals and Second Opinions
The veterinary surgeons in this practice recognise that in some instances a case may be outside their area of competence and will, therefore, refer it to a colleague who they are satisfied has additional skills to carry out the investigations or treatment involved.
The client may not be clear on the distinction between a second opinion and a referral. A second opinion is merely for confirmation of diagnosis. A referral is for diagnosis and possible treatment in a case which requires specialist knowledge or facilities that are not available in this practice – after which the case will be referred back to our practice.
It is practice policy to encourage clients to obtain a second opinion, either within the practice or at a neighbouring practice, if there is any doubt over a diagnosis.
We can also recommend a number of referral centres and we will make the clinical records and any x-rays or laboratory tests, relevant to the case, available to the referring practice.

Do the same and stay the same
A common problem with people is trying to change their body shape while emotionally attached to the same group of movements or routines they've been doing for years. It's a trainer's job to strengthen your weaknesses and get the right exercise for your body shape, a workout that's injury free and helps you achieve the best shape of your life or increase performance. Hopefully the whole shebang!
I know people like to go shopping for body parts, but let's bring out the natural body you possess. I guarantee losing a bit of body fat, improving posture and gaining a bit of muscle will make you happier than chasing someone else's body. Your genetics may not take you there and you may get disappointed. Instead focus on being the best self you can be.RELATED: RECOMMENDED PLANS FOR YOU
Start thinking about training outside the box, as most training phases have a 4-6 week expiry date. If you've been doing the same 3 sets of 12 reps for 6 months, that's a problem. You may have seen some initial results, but low and behold that plateau will sneak up on you, and that's when you have to be smart and complex with your training
How to choose your next phase of exercise for your body shape
If you've only been lifting slow and heavy add some power in the mix and work capacity training (try a HIIT workout or modified strongman classes if you're unsure how to achieve this) this will wake up your fast twitch muscle fibres and cause some neural adaptation not to mention get the heart pumping!
Moves like Box jumps, Olympic lifts, sled drags/pushes, burpees, rope climbs, squat jumps etc could take you through to that next level. If you are currently doing a running plan and run constant pace for the same distance each week the same rule applies. To get results and change shape, you need to incorporate some new variables. Try Hill sprints, Fartlek, track, or treadmill intervals to mix it up. Also be mindful of mixing your strength routine:
If you've been doing too much split training consisting of mostly isolated exercises, try spending time on improving your compound lifts. Work on your Deadlift techniques, squats, chins and presses.
So there you go, don't be afraid to try something new. It may seem alien at first, but that's the whole point. You're literally re-programming your body. Have fun!

In between the crest and trough of your chest,
I had found the place to rest my head on.
When you had called me Beautiful
In your semi-conscious state,
I felt all the insecurities absconding eventually.
When you had sought me out,
In your dreams, calling out my name,
I wondered, was it possible to love you
More than I already did?
I had acknowledged the irrelevance of the words
I'd been forging to befit the love
That I had for you.
I still have.
Perhaps that's why I am setting my foot
In your place, where I'd vowed I would never be.
But love is about these petty abandoned promises
We make each day, that we know
Can never be kept by us.
Perhaps our love wanted to witness
How two lovers seek each other
After a long harsh tortuous separation.
You hold my hand, pull me in.
The ambrosial and sanctified kiss follows,
Which is reminding me that
I'll always swim in the ocean of your heart
And will always sail till the existence of your being.
The clock tick-tocks
Time was never in favor of us.
I beg it to stay still
So that I can encapsulate every pain, every wrinkle and scar
Of your skin with my love.
It feels like I was living another aghast life.
Like this is the life I deserve,
When we held each other.
I know, we had decided
That the aperture of our togetherness
Was too wide, and we can't lessen it.
Because all of the world has clasped our feet
With its hoggish chains.
The world always wins anyway.
But my heart was never fettered and perished.
And now, when I'm laying myself at such a close proximity of you,
Can you hear, it still chants your name,
Secretly and inaudibly.
The clock strikes seven,
And there's some love you can't survive.
I know it is too early for me to leave.
I pull myself away from you, reluctantly.
My heart and soul refuse to leave,
But I threaten them.
With the gush of wind chilling my back
And with the expelled lump in my throat,
I look into your agonizing eyes
And I am assured of the passion and love
That will only be for me. Forever.
You are where all my path lead to,
Will see you someday again, be it in my dream.

Trucker who spilled gasoline into Goldstream River pleads guilty
Jun 29 2012
The driver of the Columbia Fuels truck lost control and crashed the vehicle on the Malahat. 42,000 litres of gasoline spilled into Goldstream River.Photograph by: Adrian Lam , timescolonist.com (June 2012)A Columbia Fuels truck driver whose vehicle crashed on the Malahat in April 2011, spilling 42,000 litres of gasoline into Goldstream River, has pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and violating the Fisheries Act.
James Allan Charles Smith, 34, of Nanaimo made his first appearance in Western Communities provincial court Thursday morning and entered two guilty pleas before Judge Josiah Wood.
The slightly-built man, with sandy brown hair and eyeglasses, is also charged with impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level over 80 milligrams in connection with the April 16 crash.
In March, Smith was charged under the Fisheries Act with permitting the deposit of gasoline and diesel fuel into fish habitat as a result of the spill. He was also charged under the Environmental Management Act with unlawfully allowing waste to enter the environment in the course of his business and introducing gasoline and diesel into the environment in such a manner or quantity to cause pollution.
Wood ordered the preparation of a pre-sentence report and adjourned the case until Aug. 23 to fix a date for sentencing.
It is expected the Crown will stay the impaired driving charges and the charges under the Environmental Management Act at Smith's sentencing.
Outside court, Smith's lawyer Dale Marshall said his client was struggling. He did not wish to comment any further on the case.
Remediation work near Goldstream Provincial Park began immediately after the tanker-truck crash. About 617 tonnes of contaminated soil were removed. Water quality has improved dramatically, according to provincial government testing that indicates measurements of hydrocarbons have been below detection levels since the end of July 2011.
This spring, about 3,000 coho salmon were introduced into the river.

Posted by Steven Levin on January 22, 2016 at 10:58 AM
The 2016 election cycle is in full swing, with candidates from all political parties at the national, state and local level campaigning and debating a variety of issues, ranging from the economy and foreign policy to immigration and the environment, among others.
With all of the issues Californians will consider in this year's elections, education remains the top issue, which is why we at CCSA Advocates are calling 2016 "the year of the Education Election." In both the June primary election and November general election, voters will have a unique opportunity to impact the statewide education debate by electing charter-friendly candidates at the legislative and local levels. In the legislature, where term limits have opened many seats, we have the opportunity to create a legislature that supports school choice and high-performing charter schools. And a whole new crop of education-minded candidates – many of whom are community leaders and parents of charter students – is popping up at the local levels.
These are the very elected officials who vote on the bills and policies affecting our children and make decisions about approving or renewing our charter schools. With all of the races and ballot measures on the ballot, and the high turnout that traditionally comes with presidential elections, it is more critical than ever that our supporters register to vote and make their voices heard.
As the political and advocacy companion to the California Charter Schools Association, CCSA Advocates is committed to building and sustaining a favorable political environment for charter school authorization and operation in California. In the past few years in particular, CCSA Advocates has garnered several key victories across the state in recent elections, thanks in large part to charter families and leaders such as yourselves. Now we are looking to build upon that success in 2016 and beyond.
Stay tuned in the coming months for news and information about political and educational issues in California, key elections, and our endorsed candidates.
