One of the common occurrences we all experience throughout our Wing Tsun career is frustration over what seems to be incredibly slow progress. Is this actually the case, is it more difficult to learn Wing Tsun than other martial arts, or is there another explanation?
Just recently I have been asked about what to do, to avoid being too tired at the end of a lesson. Also very common are questions like: "Will I ever get better?", or "When will I finally progress?"
Well, to compare it; many martial arts schools sell, instead of memberships, seemingly prestigious black belts with slogans like: "Get your black belt in one year". Many advertise with teaching you literally hundreds or even thousands of techniques, to be ready for just about any scenario. Or so they make you think.
What about competition sports? Martial arts competitors usually have enough time to get into shape, often they know their opponents, have studied their behaviour on video, and prepare special fight plans. Even the so-called no-rules fights assure that no third parties get involved, that no weapons are used, what type of clothing or shoes are worn, they guarantee that the fight area is limited and clean, providing special flooring or mats, that quite a set of rules is being enforced by a referee.
Above points and more, like weight, age, experience, and intent of actions, the element of surprise, mind games and intimidation tactics of the aggressor - nothing is on your side in a real-life scenario.
But one step back to typical martial arts training. I hear it quite often, that students talk about the empowerment, the good feeling, the joy of achievement when training other martial arts. Why is that so? Is Wing Tsun that different?
Quite a few martial art schools practice pre-arranged partner exercises, where you can't fail. Many don't even allow any contact whatsoever. Sometimes you are not even allowed to talk to each other during exercises.
On the downside this builds up the inability to deal with violence, ending up being incapable of hurting the aggressor, and teaches unrealistic technique pattern, impossible to apply under unknown conditions.
In the martial arts school it works. Isn't that great, limited exercises routines, no physical contact, no talking, what can go wrong? Nothing, that's why it feels so good. You have the feeling of getting better and better. Nothing spoils your progress.
Unfortunately, this is a very dangerous assumption. Without wanting to paint the picture too black; Reality strikes often with horrible violence. Fighting for your life is not a sport!
Again, what is so different about Wing Tsun?
For one, especially in Wing Tsun we experience that talent and skill take you only so far. Over the years one finds out that it takes four virtues to truly advance. Every hardworking student begins to understand how focus, commitment, perseverance and determination drive you to excel.
The Wing Tsun instructor has the difficult task to take on the persona of different assailants, to pose as the attacker according to the progressive Wing Tsun programs and to point out every mistake, to expose every gap, to raise awareness of every conceivable scenario the real life attack might put you through.
It is the job, the responsibility of a dependable Wing Tsun instructor to support your progress by continuously pointing out your weak spots. This is (most of the times) not fun.
In Wing Tsun we all learn to prepare for a completely different type of circumstances, for real life, Period.
That is the reason why we never stand still; never let you rest on skills you have achieved, why we push you to new levels of stress training, eventually enabling you to make rational decisions within fractions of seconds. This is how you learn to act under heavy pressure in a high risk situation.
One of my instructors, a former professional boxer, rounded it up: "If it feels good, it ain't Wing Tsun".
A responsible Wing Tsun instructor drives you to the point of exhaustion at the end of a lesson without neglecting the technical training, without forgetting the fine-tuning.
You fight as you train. That is why every progress is yet again improved through putting more stress on you, by exposing you to a higher level of difficulties. In return if may feel like a standstill, because you are still being corrected.
Everyone with enough patience will eventually discover their enormous progress, especially when working with beginners in class, who will complement you on your skills, who will look up to what you have achieved already.
One instructor told me once, during a for me very frustrating training session: "You know, when I face Sifu, I too feel as if it is my first day in Wing Tsun Kung Fu. He controls me at will."
Look at it the other way. If your Wing Tsun instructor, even after years, can still turn up the heat, lead you into new high-pressure scenarios, makes you sweat, leaves you tired at the end of a session, it means that he is good enough to teach you for years to come.
Otherwise you might possibly be wasting time and money.
In conclusion, how we train Wing Tsun and how the progress is measured cannot be compared to the typical workout in most martial arts schools.
Believe me. One develops over time an appreciation for this unique training, to be fit for survival in life.

What Blueprint Are You Sketching on the Hearts of Your Kids?
Guest post by Steve Lambert
Former pastor and Publisher of Five in a Row
There comes a time in doing pastoral counseling when you run out of answers and you need to stall a moment and ask God for wisdom. Through the years, I had developed a question that would buy me a minute or two of silence to cry out to the Lord for insight in difficult situations. I would ask, "when you pray, how do you see God? Do you envision an ancient man on a throne, or a resurrected Jesus, or a gentle shepherd or perhaps the celestial heavens?" Most people would pause to consider while I prayed with urgency for direction and help.
But one day I got a startling answer from a troubled young woman. She began crying softly and as I waited she finally responded, "I see newsprint?" I wasn't prepared for that answer. I probed gently, "do you mean, like a page of newspaper?" She nodded. I waited. Finally I ventured another question, "do you have any idea why you see newsprint when you pray?" The tears came in a flood now as she nodded.
At last, she composed herself enough to speak.
"I never saw my father's face when I bared my soul to him. When I would talk to him all I ever saw was the back of the newspaper he was reading as he vaguely responded with an occasional 'uh-huh' or 'oh' while I poured out my heart to him. I know that when I pray, God isn't paying any attention to me because he has more important things to do than listen to my problems." I sat stunned.
As fathers, perhaps nothing we do is as important as realizing we shape our children's understanding of the character and nature of God–for better or worse. How we listen, how we respond, what we say and what we do offers a blueprint. Could there possibly be a more sobering thought? Each inattentive moment where we're watching the football game on the screen across the room, or checking or email on our phone, or wishing they would stop their incessant babbling defines God a bit more clearly for our child.
The things we buy them, or the vacations we plan for our children are important. But they pale in comparison to the image of what a father is like; an image which we define little by little, day by day. It is the most important job we will ever have. I ask that you pray over this truth. Talk about it with the Lord. Ask Him to help you become His ambassador and represent His nature and character accurately in the lives of the little ones around you. Even if you didn't grow up with a good example in your own natural father, the Lord can help you become the kind of father who helps your children know the nature of their heavenly Father.

How to Shape Music Desires While Kids Are Young
"I'll be the angel by your side, I will get you through the night. I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own. 'Cause when you're down and out of time, and you think you've lost the fight, let me be the angel. The angel by your side." These are the sweet lyrics that I heard my little angel, Anelysse, singing as she was listening to Francesca Battistelli. Each time I hear one of my three daughters singing lyrics to their favorite songs, I find such joy in knowing that the words they are communicating are good and honorable to God.
About 4 years ago when my girls were 9, 6, and 5, my oldest daughter was developing her love for music. She was just beginning to show interest in the popular music her friends were listening to. I figured that if she was going to be learning secular songs and singing them word for word, I better approve the content! So, I looked up lyrics to some of the songs. (I won't give you names of songs or artists because I don't want this to be a condemnation of secular music.) Well, let's just say that some of the words were not ones I would like my daughters repeating over and over again. We live in a world where our daughters seem to be growing up way too fast, and I feel that the messages within certain secular songs (not all) definitely contribute to that.
{this blog uses affiliate links}
Realizing that my daughter needed a substitute for the music she was desiring to listen to, I began my search for popular Christian artists that would appeal to her. It wasn't long before I discovered some fabulous songs that I just knew my girls would LOVE! Thrilled with my results, I immediately ordered CDs by: Britt Nicole, Dara Maclean, Moriah Peters, Jamie Grace, and Francesca Batistelli. I gave each of my daughters the CDs for Christmas and just as I hoped, they instantly fell in love with the music!! Lauren Dagle is another favorite.
Philippians 4:8 says, "Finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence, and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."
I really take this scripture to heart and desire it not only for my own life, but for my precious daughters' lives as well. That's why my quest for honorable music was so important. I knew that if they had a love for music like their parents do, it needed to have a message that focused their thoughts on something true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, good, excellent, and WORTHY OF PRAISE!
I'm not saying that they are never allowed to listen to secular music. They occasionally hear my husband's favorite classic rock tunes or my old Louis Armstrong records that I like to listen to, and my youngest daughter has discovered that she likes ELVIS! But when my girls are rocking out to their favorite music and singing the songs over and over again, my desire is for the words coming out of their mouths to be pleasing to the Lord. Psalm 19:14 says, "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer." There's power in our words, even in the songs we choose to sing. Let our words be LOVELY and of GOOD REPUTE. HONORABLE to GOD!!
So, I encourage you, mamas. Take time to learn some of the lyrics to the music your kids are listening to. If you don't approve, have a conversation with them about music and the power of words. When you hear songs that aren't honoring to God, take the opportunity to talk about them and the worldview they communicate and whether that measures up to Biblical truth. The younger your kids are, the better. Turn them on to honorable music during their elementary years so that when they are teens, they choose music that is pleasing to God!
Easy Bible Journaling Ideas
Perhaps you've caught on to the whole Bible Journaling Craze. If you Google it or go on Pinterest you see beautifully illustrated Bibles EVERYWHERE! Some are pretty spectacular and obviously created by talented artists. You'll also find words of encouragement for Bible Journaling "Beginners" and lots of templates/coloring pages you can use if you don't consider yourself an artist.
I have been Bible journaling for 7 months now and I absolutely LOVE it. From the time I was little, I have always had a passion for art. Coloring was my favorite pastime and so I entered a lot of coloring contests as a kid (and won some). There were also art classes I took in high-school that taught me things like how to blend and layer with colored pencils. Although I found much pleasure with art, I never pursued it as a career, because I felt like my true gifting was with music, playing my flute. Now that I'm a busy mom I hardly have time to play my flute, let alone sit down to draw a picture… UNTIL, I discovered Bible Journaling!!
Bible journaling is something that gives more meaning to taking time out of a busy day to create art. Finding a scripture that resonates with me and then copying it with creative lettering, adding colorful illustrations in the margins of my Bible make God's words even more beautiful than they already are. The Bible verses leap off the page and come to life for me! But, this post is not about what I can do in my Bible. This is about what YOU can do in YOUR Bible. So, if you've thought at all about starting to Bible journal but wondered how to start, here are a few simple and easy journaling ideas for you…
USE A PENCIL: I don't know about you, but I was a little hesitant to start drawing in my Bible. What if I didn't like the outcome? It's not like you can just throw the page away and start over! That's why I always use a pencil before outlining in pen or coloring with colored pencils. It definitely helps with planning a good layout for your page.
TRY DIFFERENT FONTS: I like to use a combination of different fonts when I copy a scripture. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Try writing a few words all in UPPERCASE letters (especially words that are important to you like GOD, JESUS, HOLY SPIRIT). By using all caps it really makes those words stand out on the page. Then, try writing in all lowercase letters, or making your letters tall and skinny. Remember in high-school when we wrote in block or bubble letters? That's fun to do in your Bible too! And, of course we all have different styles of handwriting. Don't be afraid of yours. USE IT!! It's who you are.
FLOWERS: You don't have to be an artist to draw flowers. If you can draw a circle, you can draw a flower! Even the simplest of flowers can be beautiful in the margins of your Bible. For the more intricate flowers, try pinning some photos on Pinterest to refer to for inspiration.
LEAVES: I can never draw enough leaves in my Bible 🙂 They can be a simple border around your words or they can get wild and crazy like a vine that grows every which way! All you have to do is draw a few long squiggly lines with little oval shapes attached to the lines in random places, and voila… LEAVES!
COLOR, COLOR, COLOR: For me, colored pencils are the perfect tool that make your art come to life in your Bible. I started with an inexpensive set of Crayola colored pencils. But, then I treated myself to a set of Prismacolors that were on sale and that is what I use all the time now. They are definitely worth the price!
PIGMA MICRON PENS: They are awesome! Amazon usually has these pens on sale. They come in different tip sizes and colors. They even have brush pens, which are lots of fun to use. The pens are good quality and won't bleed through the pages of a durable journaling bible.
I hope this gives you a little motivation to give Bible Journaling a try. If you've already been journaling, what are some of your ideas?
How to Clean a Child's Bedroom Without Losing Your Mind
The never ending chore of keeping the bedrooms clean can cause a fair amount of tension if we choose to let it. I'm not a mother who requires that bedrooms get picked up every day, because imaginary play often goes on from one day to the next, and I hate to squelch it. That said, there are plenty of things that can be handled consistently to help keep a bedroom under control. But eventually, it all needs to get cleaned up so we can vacuum or sweep… at least once or twice a year! :blushing: This task can be overwhelming for a child, and we need to be understanding about that. Considering the number of decisions required to put away 9,743 objects in an hour, we should have some compassion. Here are a few tips to help it be a manageable – and hopefully successful – task!
- Make it clean-able. Sometimes there's just too much stuff to even be able to have it put away. Maybe it's a small bedroom or there aren't enough places to put things. Fix that! Declutter, pass on some toys, buy storage solutions, etc. A room full of things with no place to belong will be a constant frustration for you and your child.
- Have one container for "all the little things that feel like they should get thrown away but your child sees value in them." Yeah. Those things that you want to pitch while they're not watching? Chances are good that they'll notice. (Ask me how I know.) We use an under-bed container for these things: random flashlight, receipt, Chick Fil A toy, etc. Anything that isn't a group deserving of its own storage goes in this miscellaneous container, and it's so appropriate to tuck it under the bed! Most of this stuff lives on the floor, so it's really easy to put it away here. 🙂
- Pick up everything and put it in one pile. This is hands down, my best tip. Pick up everything – EveRYthInG – and put it into one pile. On the bed, center of the floor, or wherever you choose. (We choose center of the floor because we can sweep it there easily!) It automatically eliminates the visual clutter that can be overwhelming to children, especially younger ones.
- After everything is in one pile, we pull stuff from that pile in categories. (Make a list of the order in which you suggest they do things if you are teaching them to do this independently.) Shoes are easy to start with because they usually all go in the same place, so it's easy and quick success. Clothes next because they are a big part of the pile. Then the pile is usually manageable after those two categories. After that, just take one item at a time.
- Don't rant while they're cleaning or you're cleaning with them. (How would I know this is a temptation?) It will make only serve to make the experience miserable for you both and make them feel like a failure. Turn on some music to keep the mood light if you need some help. 🙂
- Be willing to help while they clean. This may look like picking up and putting away while they work alongside you. Maybe it's in the form of company and reading aloud while they work. Maybe it's frequent checking in and encouraging. There are a lot of ways to help, and the younger the child is, the more involved you will likely need to be. But regardless of the age of the child, encouragement will go a long way!
You can do this, Busy Mom!

Dare to be a Daniel: Talking to Your Kids About Standing for the Lord
Jimmy Kimmel hit a new low in my book last week when he had children interviewed about their thoughts on gay marriage outside his LA studio. He wanted them to explain it. At first, my husband and I just sat there puzzling (a friend sent us the link) over why he thought it was appropriate to pull kids into the USA's gay celebration—but then—we realized that this really is the new normal. Jimmy's just going with the flow.
Over the past week, I've received several posts and emails from mothers asking how to talk to their kids about what is happening in the culture. After all, this is startlingly new territory for parents: explaining why a man is being celebrated as a woman on the cover of a magazine is not something we're used to talking about. Here's the thing: If we don't set a place for the truth of Scripture at the table of our children's hearts, the world will set out a feast all it's own.
Talk we must.
So what do we tell our children? How do we talk to them as Christian parents? If you're searching for your footing, here's some ideas and direction:
- Talk age-appropriately.
Clearly, you've got to talk about age-appropriate things. There's no need to take your four year old out to dinner and explain things she's not ready to hear. You've got to know your children. When you sense they're ready, or if they start asking questions about things they shouldn't be burdened with, it's time.When the time is right, tell them the truth. Most of our kids are old enough, and so we have been having honest, and sometimes painful discussions with our children in the months leading up to the SCOTUS ruling. This generation of children are being forced to think about things that never even entered my mind as a child: from racists to the brutal beheadings of Coptic Christians in Syria to Bruce Jenner and the removal of the Ten Commandments from public grounds.
- Take them to God's Word
The Bible should be the authority in the life of every person who claims to be a follower of Jesus. Read about God's standard, His mercy, and His holiness.
- Tell them we're all in a war.
In the Bible, we see everywhere that we are in a very real war. Talk to your kids about the spiritual war that is waging around them—the Bible says they are part of it, too.
Ephesians 6:12
"For we do not wrestle with flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in heavenly places."
Consider the word Paul uses here to describe what's happening around you every day. He says we are "wrestling," but not against flesh and blood. Wrestling is a very personal fight. Every day, we wake up on a spiritual battle field. The place where the devil wages war against individual believers is in the mind. Our goal is to first steal back any thoughts that the devil places in our minds and give those thoughts over, "taking them captive" to the mind of Christ. Even Paul's use of the word "captive" reminds us that there are captives in this war.
Do your kids know about putting on the armor of God? Read what the Bible says here.
- Pray with them.
There is power in the prayers of God's people!Pray humbly, because we are all sinners.
Pray reverently, because God is holy, set apart and worthy of our praise
Pray with hope, because the Bible says that our hope is not in this world; it's in the Lord!
- Teach them how to talk to other's about what God says is sin, and the remedy for it: Jesus!
- Start here:
- We are all sinners, by birth and by choice. God says that our sinful, fallen hearts are bent towards sin, not away from it.The culture is telling gays that Christians are against them—but true followers of Christ point the finger first at themselves, because they know their heterosexual sin is no better than their gay friend's sin.
- When my fallen heart tells me to lust after anyone who is not my husband, I am in sin.
- When our fallen hearts tell us to lust after someone of the same sex, we are in sin.God calls us to turn away from all our sin—by placing our faith in Jesus and then daily (daily, daily, daily) surrendering our fallen desires to Him so that we can walk in the ways He has told us are good and right.
- Dare your kids (and yourself!) to be like DanielDo you remember the story of Daniel?In the ancient Middle East, one empire was being replaced by another. In 605 B.C., the Babylonians conquered Israel, taking many of its promising young men into captivity in Babylon. One of those men was Daniel.When the story takes place, Daniel was in his 80s. (See? You're never too young or too old to stand for God!)Through a life of hard work and obedience to God, Daniel made his way up through the political ranks and eventually, became administrator of this pagan kingdom.It turned out that Daniel was so honest and hardworking, his co-workers, other government officials, became jealous of him. This was a problem, since they could find nothing he had done that warranted his removal from office.
Finally, they decied to use Daniel's faith in God against him. They tricked King Darius into passing a decree that during a 30-day period, anyone who prayed to another god or man besides the king would be thrown into the lions' den. Can you imagine?
Daniel learned of the decree but did not change his habit of praying to God. Just as he had done all his life, he went home, knelt down, faced Jerusalem, and prayed to God. The wicked administrators caught him and told the king. King Darius, who loved Daniel. He tried to save him, but the decree could not be revoked.
At sundown, they threw Daniel into the den of lions. The king was so worried and upset, he could not eat or sleep all night. At dawn he ran to the lions' den and asked Daniel if his God had protected him. Daniel replied,
"My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong
Scripture says the king was overjoyed. Daniel was brought out, unharmed, "…because he had trusted in his God." (Daniel 6:23, NIV)
God's Word is true and He can be trusted! The culture may change, but God does not change. His standard is right—and as Christians, we are called to follow Him—no matter what. God takes good care of His people. We do not need to be afraid.
The Bible teaches that we are to be ready to give a defense for the Scripture "in season and out of season."
We either believe God's Word or we don't—and we demonstrate that by the way we live our lives.
Will you be set apart? Dare to be a Daniel!
Mom Warriors and True Arrows
I remember before I had kids, I would watch misbehaved children and think, "MY kids will NOT act that way." I had many theories about discipline and raising kids. Now I have eight kids and no theories.
What I never factored into disciplining our kids was the deep love and attachment I would have for them. It never dawned on me that I would care if they liked me and I certainly didn't plan that one minute they could turn my world upside down and make me crazy and the next minute become the cuddliest, cutest little human being EVER.
Two of our kids are married with babies of their own and our third is a senior in college. We still have 4 teens in the house and a 10 year old, and with that comes some perspective (not to be confused with having all the answers). They still sometimes turn my world upside down…and then win my heart back in a split second with a simple gesture. I never imagined I could get so frustrated and angry and still love so deeply. The wildest roller coaster can't even begin to compare to this ride of raising kids.
In so many ways, I'm a very different mom than 24 years ago and, in hindsight, some of the hills I thought were worth dying on, weren't. But the flip side is that I can see more clearly (than ever) the ones that are. I see the necessity for our kids to hear the truth about sin and our deep need for a Savior. I feel the urgency to make sure that I do everything I can to help them grasp the value of what Jesus did on the cross for us and understand how important it is to own their own relationship with Him. I want the Word of God to be what they filter EVERYTHING through: work, church, relationships, culture.
God says that our children are like arrows. In order for an arrow to to fly so it won't veer off in the wrong direction, it needs to be "true". "True" as in straight. God also says that these children are like arrows IN THE HANDS OF A WARRIOR and anyone who has been a mom knows that motherhood is NOT for the faint hearted. We are warriors…MOM WARRIORS. This means that we are in a battle, a battle with a very REAL enemy. He wants our children's souls and we have to FIGHT for them.
Our kids come into this world helpless, but also as sinners who need a Savior. They are crooked and by the grace of God, we fight to straighten them so that when these arrows are released by our bow, they fly "true" and straight and fulfill the purposes to which God has called them. We do this through training and discipline. Disciplining them for their good, out of love for them, out of a desire to help them avoid foolishness, which God says will lead to destruction and, instead, point them toward wisdom, which He says leads to life and blessings.
So much of this is done by example, but above all it happens on our knees, because the truth is that the deep work that needs to happen in any of our hearts is only done by the power of the Holy Spirit. Ultimately only HE can turn our hearts toward Him and straighten what is crooked.
No greater battles are fought than from the humble position of prayer, asking for God's grace and mercy on our kids' lives and for wisdom to raise "true" arrows.

A disgruntled member of the National Democratic Congress has locked the party's regional office in the Ashanti Region to demand full accountability from the regional executives who he has blamed for the party's defeat in the December 7 polls.
Yakubu Tony Aidoo, who is an NDC communication officer for Asawase, wants the Ashanti Regional executives of the party and the regional campaign team dissolved for failing to deliver the one-million vote promised President John Mahama in the Ashanti Region.
"I have locked the office with five padlocks this morning. If they open I will lock it again with 70 padlocks," he warned, and vowed to lock the NDC offices in other regions where the party did not perform satisfactorily.
Speaking to 3News, Mr Aidoo explained his action was triggered by the fact that the party did not listen to him when he questioned the competencies of the regional campaign team members in executing a successful campaign for victory.
The regional executives have meanwhile re-opened the office and are scheduled to meet Tuesday afternoon to do a postmortem of the elections. When contacted, Deputy Regional Communication Director, Solomon Anane, did not deny or confirm if the office was locked except to say "the place has been opened and functional".
"We have different people and the way they take issues. People are not taking this loss very kindly and their reactions will differ but as we speak the party of office is relatively calm and so nothing much to worry," he added.
"As a regional body we need to do a post mortem to know exactly what happened and at 12 O'clock we've scheduled a meeting to take stock of exactly what happened and the way forward," he said.
Mr Anane assured all party faithfuls in the region that they will be informed of what caused the fortunes of the party in the region and the way forward. Earlier, Mr Aidoo told 3News, he raised concerns over the appointment of Ohene Agyekum to lead the regional campaign team, saying " I told the regional executives that it won't help because he can't even organise 20 people in the Ash.
They came at me that I am a mad person". He did not understand why did understand why the party neglected those who could deliver the one-million votes.
"I'm just an ordinary Asawase Communication Officer. Winning an election doesnt take a political science degree to do that. I have no political science background but I have experience and wisdom to win an election," he said.

Integrity as important as profit at Dream Team Technologies
Business Report Correspondent
DENVER? Imagine waking up in the morning thrilled to go to the office. Imagine going to work in an environment that leaves you invigorated and inspired. Imagine that your work provides non-profits, businesses and educational organizations with an affordable, self-sustaining and sophisticated Web presence. Imagine work with no bosses.
All of this is reality for the people who work at Dream Team Technologies. Work is done in teams and according to individual's strengths. Every company member, from office managers to founders, contributes to executive decisions, including hiring, in weekly all-team meetings. Everyone has equal input. Bryan LaMontagne, project manager, said, "The best part of working at Dream Team is that we can each act as CEO. It took some adjustment, though. I thought, ?This is great!' But I was so used to holding back. I don't know of any other company where you could say, ?This really isn't working,' and they'd all actually consider changing it."
There are no bosses, but everyone has a coach. "A coach is more than a boss who tells you to do something,´ said Shawn Hazelwood, senior Web developer. "A coach, like any sports coach, is involved in having you get what you need to make things happen."
On March 28, Dream Team Technologies was awarded the Colorado Ethics in Business award. The top 10 finalists included multimillion-dollar, multinational corporations. Dream Team, with 22 employees, is four and one-half years old.
Representing the Dream Team, Whitney Walpole, chief vision officer, said, "What if, by going to work, we went home better friends, parents, community members?" Employees assert that they do. Volunteerism, mentoring, leadership in sports teams, churches and other civic groups is almost universal. All conversations about Dream Team's success and its unique atmosphere lead to its vision statement, which includes, "We are Dream Team Technologies Inc., a business dedicated to the fulfillment of the human spirit."
Drew Gerber, director of sales and marketing, said, "For most companies, the vision becomes a nice plaque on the wall. We've actually turned away business that's not in line with our commitments."
Those commitments are numerous. First, Dream Team members are deeply committed to creating an environment of partnership, creativity, clear communication and effectiveness. Second, Dream Team Technologies empowers educational institutions, non-profit organizations and businesses with its Internet product, Viadesto.
Arthur Brock, chief technology officer, explained, "Our product is an extension or expression of our vision. We put the control of information in the hands of the people who have the information, instead of it belonging to some élite technical staff of Webmasters."
Viadesto provides easy management of Web sites, intranet, extranet and e-commerce functions. It also drastically reduces the cost of a complex Web presence by combining the knowledge of a Webmaster, graphic designer and various other information technology staff into a Web-based application anyone can use. "We've built the expertise of a Web staff into the Web site," Brock said. "You can change everything ? every graphic, every word ? on your site without any special tools or expertise. You click, type in text and hit ?submit.' "
Out of commitment to community involvement, Dream Team hosts Inventing Business Series discussions. Business leaders discuss creating successful and fulfilling organizational environments.
"Most often, companies have great mission statements, but their internal structures don't support them,´ said Cormack McCarthy, financial manager. Dream Team has created and continues to intentionally employ effective and novel internal structures to support its commitments.
In her acceptance of the Colorado Ethics in Business award, Walpole said, "We say it is possible for business to be a place that honors and serves people. Business can be a place where integrity is as basic a rule as profit. All of this is possible and practical."
For information on Dream Team, Viadesto or the Inventing Business Series, call Whitney Walpole at (303) 228-3441 or visit www.dreamteamtech.com.

The Nigerian senate on Wednesday called for the resignation of Hameed Ali, comptroller-general of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS).
The senate also declared Ali unfit to hold public office and condemned a letter written by Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF).
Here are seven Senators that participated at today's plenary:
1. Senator Biodun Olujimi representing Ekiti south senatorial district has said that the action of Nigeria customs, Hameed Ali is a breach of Constitution and a grand display of arrogance.
2. Senator Abaribe Enyannaya representing Abia south senatorial district said Customs Boss, Hameed Ali made an obnoxious policy, it was in this process that we invited him to explain his policy.
He stated that it makes no sense for the CG @CustomsNG to rush to court to secure a deliberate injunction over his invitation by the Nigerian Senate.
3. Senator Dino Melaye Representing Kogi west Senatorial District on Wednesday said the Comptroller General of Customs, Hammed Ali must appear before it in customs uniform.
4. Senator Isah Misau said:"If the Attorney General can write a letter to the senate, He wondered what advise he gives Mr. President".
"Enemies of this Government are within the Presidency", he said.
5. Senator Aliyu Sabi urged the Senate to cancel the collection of duty until a more robust method of collection can be agreed upon
6. Senator George Sekibo said the letter from the Attorney General undermines the Senate as an institution and must be investigated
7. Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu said it is important that the integrity of the Senate must be maintained at all times.
"There's no big deal in asking a public officer to dress properly, people should be proud of what they do
"We as public officers should live an exemplary life and obey laws in accordance of the constitution".

Boba Fett: Maze of Deception
Boba Fett: Maze of Deception by Elizabeth Hand
With the help of Aurra Sing, Boba is on the way to retrieve the money Jango left to him. He doesn't know where he's going, and he doesn't trust Sing well enough to believe that she'll treat him well once they arrive, but what choice does he have? He's eleven years old, and well on his way to being the bounty hunter he'll become, but he still doesn't have the clout that an adult has, as he learns once they land.
I said at the end of my review of Crossfire that I was looking forward to reading something by Hand, but it turns out that I already have: The Frenchman. It was a tie-in to the Fox show Millennium (man, remember that? With Lance Henriksen?), and, true to form, I can't remember a thing about it. I guess it's a good thing I'm writing this blog, so twenty years from now I'll be able to look back on these reviews and remember something about all these books.
Anyway, Hand seems to be more adept at writing for a younger crowd than Bisson is. Yes, the narrative is simplified, but it's not simple. The story is compelling, as Boba goes from trial to trial in his search for his inheritance, and Hand creates an intriguing setting for this adventure. She also writes convincingly toward the lessons he learns from the book that Jango left him, in regards to whom to trust and how to act.
Bisson's strength was in his characterization, and while I didn't see the kinds of relationships he created in Hand's take on the story, neither were there any relationships in this book like Bisson created in his. Hand still writes convincing characters, but there wasn't room for her to show how Boba related to someone he could trust. This could be intentional, since Boba is learning that he can trust no one, but he's still a child, and still naive enough to have to learn that lesson.
Where Bisson's stories felt firmly written for a younger crowd, Maze of Deception feels better suited for adult readers as well as juvenile readers. They still don't quite reach the level of what Jude Watson did with her books, but on the bright side, Hand's book doesn't follow the formula that Watson's books started to take. It's nice to see a new writer in the Expanded Universe, and I look forward to seeing how Hand continues the series.

"Orange Sky Media delivers quality results on demand. I first met Deb Liebholz in the Fall of 2018. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, only that I needed help with a new website and social media. We met for coffee and I found Deb to be friendly, personable and professional. She asked a few questions and before I knew it, she was able to identify my specific needs and wants. After sifting through the busy stuff (as I'm no techie) the gems were found. Deb guided me through the fog of indecision and offered me a few choices. Beyond satisfied! The final product was a superb reflection of how I envisioned my company (and myself) to be presented to the world. Armed with a creative team of experts, Deb shares her knowledge generously and will honestly help bring your ideas to a focal point that draws people in."

''Ylang is as much beautiful as the unknown can be attractive''

3 Attar 6:38
4 Verbena 5:03

9 First Rain 4:59
A tree from the Philippines, the Ylang-Ylang produces an essential oil for the uses of perfumes. And it's also the title of Robert Rich's 1st solo album since 2007 Illumination. This last opus of the American multi-instrumentalism is also perfumed of an equatorial and tropical scent with a multiclanic approach where fragrances of a world as Amerindian as Asian border on an oniric one which is very near the Buddhisms and Tibetans spiritualities. With Ylang Robert Rich proposes a cerebral journey in the heart of South-East Asia forests on tribal structures of an underestimated and charming world, where aboriginal percussions mould enigmatic lascivious and latent rhythms on breaths of an omnipresent flute and angelic vocals.
A fine rain, delicate arpeggios forgotten on a piano and a solitary flute introduce the first chords of "Ambergris". The tempo falls. Weary it bends in front of strata from a spectral guitar and a tearful synth which encircle this musical firmament from where escapes multitude of chords on lascivious percussions. Percussions which mould a rhythm mi sensual and mi ghostly quite as on "Tamarack" although it's more accessible and more enchanting with the Lap Steel Guitar whose waves float such as wandering specters. The rhythms on Ylang are very subtle. Ultimately we could think that the album is more atonal than rhythmic except that tempos are always present and draw a very ambivalent rhythmic architecture. "Translucent" and "Verbena" are perfect examples. The tempos are looming from strange Amerindian tribal incantations and are always latent. Without ever exploding or progressing excessively, they soak in a rich sound atmosphere and are of use as assizes to very poetic and oniric musical structures where hand percussions, flutes, ethereal voices and synth with slightly nervous dress a heterogeneous and spiritual musical world. On Ylang Robert Rich renew with the fragrances of his musical world. The flute is the key element of "Attar" and "Kalyani" where slamming percussions and a jazzy bass sculpt a slow morphic tempo. These are two beautiful enigmatic titles because of their crossings between a Tibetan mystic world which goes alongside with slow and sensual jazz structures to waddle languishingly on great aboriginal percussions and a sound flora very rich in clanic variations.
"Vetiver" is what is the closest to Robert Rich's desertic universe (as well as Tamarack). With its rich percussions to hybrid strikes on drifting structures, "Vetiver" revolves in an atonal world where the breaths of flutes become intermingled with synth snippets and angelic vocalizes, structuring a somber arid world. It's a very good track where we can get its entire dimension through headphones. With its progressive tempo which wriggles beneath the steams of Amerindian flutes, "Charukesi" is unfolding like a slow Indian procession. It's a title without precise rhythms but which gets its energy through Robert Rich's furious flute. Languishing, plaintive and melancholic, "First Rain" ends this soft tribal musical epic with violin orchestrations to make the indifference melt. Still there the rhythm is uncertain, navigating on a sea of xylophone keys and rich violin strata which encircles a discreet plaintive synth and the notes of a forsaken piano.
Ylang is as much beautiful as the unknown can be attractive. Through its 9 titles, Robert Rich succeeds in weaving a musical structure of a stunning beauty. But like a beauty unsung in jungle Ylang has to be to tame. Because if titles like "Ambergris", "Vetiver" and "Tamarack" will be a delight for the fans of Robert Rich, the other titles will need a rediscovery of his stunning and always so rich musical universe. As for me I enjoyed so much discovering these strange and enchanting rhythms which don't know if they dance or if they sink in an eclectic, poetic and often oniric musical world which is the fruit of Robert Rich's fertile imagination.

Finding a genuine company for cheap car insurance is a tricky job
In this world, no one is absolutely perfect. You might have received few tickets because of over speeding, or you have a bad credit history. You'll find numerous online insurance sites claiming cheap car insurance rates, but you are not sure about what is marketed to you and what exactly you are getting.
So, we want to help you to find your feet to get important information about cheap car insurance. There is plenty of information available, and you need extensive research to get proper information.
In this informative post, you'll get the complete information regarding the real truth about cheap car insurance and what should you know before selecting any coverage plan. We have tried our best to present most reliable information on getting the best and cheapest car insurance and what should you know before making your final decision.
What You'll Learn

- Less coverage for repairs
- Low Mileage & coverage plan
We send out our lovely email newsletter with useful insurance tips, recent articles and upcoming events. Thousands of readers have signed up

If you are looking for cheap car insurance companies in the UK, then it is preferred that you must also search for the other benefits that you may get from the cheap car insurance companies rather than sticking to the cost factor only. Obtaining the best and cheapest car insurance isn't like shopping a cheap gasoline from a station. It is evident that the coverage policies differ from company to company. One car insurance company might exclude coverage that another might include within the same cost.
The Cheapest Car Insurance in UK:
"It is always good to look first that how prices stack up, but you must stick with the basics that what actually is covered and what's not covered in your insurance plan. Also, make sure that you're comparing apples with apples, not with oranges" as said by famous consumer analyst Penny Gusner from insurance.com. Therefore, it is always recommended to search well before counting on any car insurance in The UK.
In case you're a low-mileage driver, then you must think about the option of "pay-as-you-drive" coverage plans as well as some other types of car insurance discounts. If you feel that these options don't fit you then below here is a complete watch list for you to explore your option.
Standard Car Insurance Plans:
Standard or preferred car insurance policies are just best options for drivers with a clean or moderate clean driving record with excellent credit ratings. On the other side, the nonstandard car insurance policies are specifically designed for risky customers who are not eligible for preferred or standard insurance coverage. Some car insurance policies are also designed for special cars such as Bentley or a restored '65 Mustang.
Smaller Car Insurance Companies:
Small sized companies that are specialized in catering the high-risk clients or classic car owners normally lead the nonstandard market. But these days, several giant insurance companies such as State Farm and Allstate, are offering nonstandard and standard insurance policies.
Non-Standard Car Insurance:

However, there is another fact that you must keep in mind that there is no insurance company that will take the extra risk of you. Thy will try to compensate the coverage either by charging you high rates or simply by reducing your coverage or both.

Here are 7 Hidden Surprises that will Shake Your Head
1- Less or No Coverage for Some Drivers:
Normally a standard Car Insurance Policy covers all, even the members of your family, relatives and friends who borrow your car occasionally. But, in case you have a risky driver living with you – such as a teenage boy with a track record of ticketing because of over speeding, then you need to exclude him from your coverage plan. Moreover, several nonstandard coverage plans also exclude permissive drivers – such as people who make use of the cars with your permission. Also, such companies will exclude coverage for permissive drivers who are under the age of 21 or 25.
2- Driving Record Checks:
It is evident that the insurance companies normally check the driving record of a concerned person once a year. But in case you already have a checked history of driving, then the insurance company might check your record every six months, before the beginning of each coverage term, so that they can adjust their premium accordingly.
3- No Favor No Special Assistance:
If you are searching how to get the cheapest car insurance? Then you must analyze the Google results by typing in the phrase "what is the best and cheapest car insurance" and must compare the market car insurance UK companies. Here are some of the tips that you must avoid before selecting any car insurance coverage plan.
- Don't go for extra treats and perks advertised by major car insurance companies on TV for their best customers
- The perks and benefits offered by the car insurance companies are not free. Keep this truth in your mind. Nothing is free in this world!!!
- Nonstandard policy will come without any benefits of a standard policy, so there are no perks in case of accident or vanishing of your car.
- The benefits are not for free, and they'll be at your end with high premium charges, which is in fact not an option for nonstandard customers.
4- No Coverage for Exemplary Damages:
To get the cheapest and best car insurance coverage, you must adhere some facts that most of the car insurance companies will not offer you any coverage if you cause an accident or sued. The car insurance companies will exclude the coverage for exemplary or punitive damages. This means that you are liable to pay for those damages and if a court sides with the other guy.
5- Less coverage for repairs:
If you have taken the comprehensive or collision coverage plan, then under the standard policy you'll be rewarded with full compensation unless the car is declared as a complete loss. If the car is totaled, the insurance company will only pay the depreciated value of the car – its net market value before it was damaged. But you'll be amazed to know that some nonstandard car insurance policies take depreciation into account for repairs as well. Instead of paying the full amount to repair, the policy will pay only the percentage of the total cost, as per your car or vehicle depreciation.
6- Lower Mileage Acceptable:
Some car insurance policies are specifically designed for special cars having very low mileage cap such as 2,000 miles/year. In such scenario, if you don't use your car for driving every day, the allotment may not be enough if you travel to car shows. Therefore, it is important that you must think about that how much you'll drive a car and make sure that your policy is covering enough the mileage to cover it
7- No Coverage for Pizza Delivery:
You must also keep in your mind that some nonstandard policies also exclude liability as well as damage coverage when your car is used for any sort of business purpose – including delivering pizzas or newspapers.

With the international friendlies played this week, there has been little news out of the club. Here's a few snippets of information:
- Soren Gonther took part in first team training yesterday for the first time in full. The defender who signed from Paderborn on a free transfer in the summer has been recovering from an injury that saw him miss the end of last season.
- Tickets for the home games against SV Sandhausen und VfR Aalen will go on sale from 22nd August for members. There are around 2,000 tickets available for each game, with availability limited due to the ongoing building work of the new stand. Further information can be found on the official site here.
- Patrick Funk and Daniel Ginczek both took part in the German U21's game yesterday against Argentina, which they won 6-1. Both appeared as second half substitutes.
- Carlos Zambrano is also on international duty, and is expected to leave the club before the end of the transfer window. The club have been in discussions with Eintracht Frankfurt over the sale, with a fee of around €2,000,000 agreed. St. Pauli would receive €600,000 (30%) of the transfer fee, as 70% of the Zambrano's rights are owned by a Swiss agency. However, St. Pauli are reluctant to sell before signing up a replacement, as the club only has two fit central defenders with Gonther not expected to be fully fit for a couple of weeks.
- Bene Pliquett has been missing from training for several days due as he suffers from the flu. Get well soon, Bene!
- Finally, the cup game against Offenburg this weekend will not be shown on the club's tv site after the final whistle. There will be no highlights video, or the full length match video.

We "Rose" to the occasion!
Invite some royalty to your garden party this summer. The rose has long been the queen of the summer time garden. Roses have been symbols of love, fame, beauty, war, and celebration and have quite a history. From use as confetti at celebrations to a source for perfume, they "rose" to the occasion in good times and bad.
No one ever promised you a rose garden, and if some of your previous attempts met their Waterloo you might be hesitant to try them. Maintain your "composture" because help is on the way! Roses today are enjoying a resurgence in popularity specifically shrub, landscape or what we call "own root" roses. Today's time pressed homeowners are demanding of their landscape plants and roses are no exception. Landscape or shrub roses provide a long season of blooms and color from June to November. Very resistant to disease and problems and loaded with flowers June to November, they have excellent winter hardiness. Own-root roses are not grafted so it's the same plant below the ground as above. They can do what a rose has always wanted to do and that is growing new canes from the root system. Therefore you get many more canes and lots more flowers on a hardy easy to grow plant. Simply put today's varieties "rose" to the occasion.
There are many "own root" or shrub roses available to today's homeowner from the "Drift" series of groundcover roses to "Easy Elegance" roses they are a workhorse in the landscape. Varieties like "Knockout" and "Carefree Delight" or "Nearly Wild" and "Home Run" or "Yabba Dabba Doo". I have some Proven Winners "Home Run" roses in my yard and they have continuous blooms and great disease resistance to both black spot and powdery mildew. They are heat tolerant, cold hardy with no winter covering and require no deadheading. I give them a general pruning back a couple times a year and that's it!
For true success I recommend you plant them in a good sunny spot. Roses are sun worshippers. A minimum of 6 hours of sun a day or more will work. Shrub roses like any rose bush appreciate morning sun to help dry the foliage. Some attention to the soil will certainly help. Roses are heavy feeders so stay grounded my friend. I like to feed them with a dry feed around the base a few times a year. Rose Tone works well for feeding supplemented with a water soluble feeding now and then. Incorporating organic material into the existing soil at the time of planting is important to improve the structure of your soil and top it off with a one to two inch layer of mulch at the base. When the weather gets hot and sunny this summer they'll appreciate a soil that has some moisture retention capability and yet well drained.
I very "mulch" encourage you to add own root or shrub roses to your landscape. They are not the work laden examples we've seen years ago of a few leafless stems with a bloom at the top. They go "Ka-bloom" in the garden and will impress your neighbors and friends. I know you can do it you "rose" to the occasion.

About Us
Wynnstay Designs began from a desire to source the perfect novelty gift for that we could be sure the recipient did not already have. In reviewing our options we settled on recreating a product that had not been manufactured since the 1920s.
With input and advice from friends and colleagues we re-engineered a pair of vintage design lighter cufflinks to increase reliability, flame per fill, and to meet today's more stringent safety standards.
Realizing the effort we had expended and insight we had gained in sourcing this gift, we determined we should share the finished product with the the world. The cufflinks are now assembled, tested, packaged, and distributed by our small team in Toronto, Canada.
Our products are available through our website and a limited number of online retailers. We would encourage interested retailers to contact us for more information by email at email@example.com.

EUGENE, Ore. - The Lane County Sheriff's Office announced as of February 3, 2018, it will add 50 jail beds, increasing their capacity from 317 to 367.
This is the fourth increase since the passage of the Public Safety levy in 2013.
That levy is to fund jail beds and youth detention and treatment services in Lane County.
Prior to that, the jail only had 125 beds and contracted out to other agencies.
The Sheriff's Office said the number of capacity based releases has dropped by 61.34%.
Deputies said the jail has also strengthened its focus on treatment services for inmates suffering from mental illness.
The jail also offers continuing education to help inmates get their GED.
They said three mental health specialists have also joined the jail to work on discharge planning with inmates, in an effort to decrease an inmate's risk of re-offending.

Hello! With my spring semester finally over and a couple days off from work I've been tinkering with UE4 a bit more and learning a lot in the process. This time I decided to put some of the materials and assets I've obtained from the marketplace/community to good use. Hence, I decided to build my own fantasy studio with what I have at hand. All the architecture was built using BPS brushes only. This project taught me a lot about how lighting works in Unreal. In addition, I was also able to gain more insight into how materials work. I will try to set up a quick tour of the studio using Matinee in my next post.
I'm a software engineer with a passion for computer graphics.

Well, things were moderately productive at Tre Gwernin this weekend, even if not on the blog itself. I got a narrative problem resolved which had been hindering progress on The Flight of the Hawk for about a month. Great relief ... the problem was that I had the right story but was dithering about location. If I can't make it work on the map, I can't make it work in my mind. Right location, problem solved ... onward!
On non-literary matters, I planted out 16 (new-world) tomato plants, but didn't get the lawn mowed. And it's supposed to rain today...

Port Vale 1-3 Crewe Alexandra
Tom Pope scored but loanee Jack Grimmer was stretchered off as Vale put on arguably their worst display of the season in losing to Crewe.
Micky Adams made one change with Jordan Hugill replacing Ben Williamson upfront. Vale had the first chance for captain Doug Loft but then a mistake at the back gave Aneke a good chance but he failed to take advantage.
However, on fifteen minutes, Crewe took the lead when a shot was cleared off the line but Mathias Pogba turned it in. It was a soft goal for Vale to concede. Crewe were on top after that with Pogba forcing Neal into a save and Aneke missing another good one-on-one chance. Really Crewe should have been at least two goals to the good at this stage as Vale struggled to get into the game.
That pressure forced Vale into a dramatic and somewhat controversial double change. Gavin Tomlin replaced Jordan Hugill and Jennison Myrie-Williams replaced Joe Davis, who had already been booked. Dickinson moved to centre-half, Jones to left-back and Loft to the left wing.
Vale did better after the change. A good cross from Loft saw Pope rattle the crossbar. Then Lines forced a save from the keeper after a good ball from Pope.
But as the game approached the half-way mark, Inman forced another good save from Neal. And moments later, Neal saved from Pogba as Crewe once again failed to capitalise on their possession by converting their chances. In the dying moments of a dramatic first-half, Garrett made a fine save from Tom Pope.
The second period started disastrously as Doug Loft caught Matt Tootle and Crewe were awarded a penalty. Chuks Aneke stepped up and sent Neal the wrong way to double their lead. To be honest, it was deserved as the visitors had had much the better of the game.
There was a further blow for Vale with loanee Jack Grimmer stretchered off and replaced by Billy Knott. We wish Grimmer all the best.
Anthony Griffith dropped back to defence and Aneke missed yet another chance to make it three for Crewe. But it was soon all over as Brad Inman's shot made it 3-0 and game over. It was only what Crewe deserved for all their possession and chances as Vale simply failed to impress.
With fifteen minutes left, Pope tried a chip to pull one back only for Ben Garrett to claw it over the crossbar. But moments later, Tom Pope scored to pull one back for the Valiants. It was his thirteenth goal of the season and 54th of his Vale career.
However, Crewe could have made it four in the dying moments, only for Neal to pull off a fine save from Aneke.
It was a poor result for Vale who failed to make it a double over their local rivals and severely dented their chances of a late play-off push. In this form, it looks like a mid-table finish at best for the out-of-form Valiants.
Vale: Neal, Yates, Davis (Myrie-Williams), Grimmer (Knott), Dickinson, Loft, Griffith, Lines, Jones, Hugill (Tomlin), Pope
Subs: Johnson, Birchall, Dodds, Williamson
Attendance: 7,812 (1,174 away)
