Beautiful brunette mother comes to the hairdresser's together with her daughter. These naughty females simply want to get bushes on their pussies trimmed a little. You see, horny daughter can't wait any longer to get rid of her all clothes so that to sit onto the chair and to spread her silky legs wide open.
All the other visitors simply become short of breath on seeing how sexy this cute girl is. As soon as pretty daughter gets bush trimmed, her mother comes in and simply goes completely wild of what she sees.
Being not able to resist the temptation of getting down on her knees and pleasuring naughty daughter by means of pussy licking, hothead mommy presses her lips to chick's sloppy pussy and does what she loves doing best of all. No wonder, naked brunette daughter loses control on being pleasured so skillfully. Somehow or other, nasty mommy is not going to stop.
You see, this experienced seductress of older age grabs a comb, oils it and starts its rear end into girl's wanting pussy to bring her even a hundred times stronger pleasure. At the same time horny brunette mommy puts the feelers on her own clitoris and feels so excited. Soon both mom and her daughter feel satisfied.

Reading through this bug is seriously depressing to read (until Michael Matz steps in).
It was always complete madness to strip symbols from shipping binaries; it was always
madness to disable the frame pointer too. (The debuginfo trick is an excellent solution
to the problems of source-level debugging, by the way, it's just taken way, way, too far).
This is why you have to install a 1Gb debuginfo RPM in order to run OProfile on the kernel. Crazy.
It's a good read if you like to see certain people behaving like asshats to their fellow community
members too.

Goodreads Summary:
Thirty-four-year-old Eleanor Murray is consumed with guilt for causing the accident that paralyzed her sister—and for falling in love with her sister's husband. But when her boss offers her a part-time job caring for his elderly aunt, Helena, Eleanor accepts, hoping this good deed will help atone for her mistakes.
On the barrier island of Edisto, Eleanor bonds with Helena over their mutual love of music. Drawing the older woman out of her depression, Eleanor learns of her life in Hungary, with her sister, before and during World War II. She hears tales of passion and heartache, defiance and dangerous deception. And when the truth of Helena and her sister's actions comes to light, Eleanor may finally allow herself to move past guilt and to embrace the song that lies deep in her heart…
My thoughts:
The Time Between by Karen White is an intriguing story about forgiveness, love, and letting go. The point of view is told between two characters, Eleanor and Helena. These characters are thrown together and through a slow developing friendship the characters are able to heal the wounds of their past. Eleanor Murray is hired to look after Helena, her boss's aunt. Eleanor could use the escape and extra money this job will provide her. She didn't expect that this job would challenge her as much as it did. Helena is a cantankerousness old woman. She's grieving the loss of her sister, and her mood isn't very congenial. She doesn't like Eleanor at first, but through curiosity and a slow-moving friendship, these characters finally face the events that have been haunting them for years.
The Time Between is a great novel to add to your summer reading list. It has a little bit of everything in it: romance, mystery, drama. White explores the delicate love/hate relationship between sisters; the power of forgiveness, and the cost of holding on. Helena is a great character. She has got a lot of spunk to her. Although her attitude can be a bit juvenile at times, she still made me laugh. Eleanor is a character I had to warm up to. I had many mixed feelings about her, but in the end I really started to like her. There are a few sub-stories going on that intersect beautifully with this main story line. White did a great job examining the different relationships between the females in this book. I also love the historical elements that White includes in this book.
This is definitely what I would call a page turner. I was captivated by the story and interested in the plot until the very end. I've only read one other book by Karen White, but so far I've enjoyed both books by this author. I enjoy her writing style and look forward to reading more of her books.
My rating:

Traditionally, men are usually the ones who ask women out on a date. However, the 21st century has witnessed a reversal of roles in this sector, as women are now asking men out, much to the advantage of the men in question. However, unlike men who always have the courage to ask women out, women need to take the following steps if they are to confidently and successfully ask a guy out.
- Prepare adequately. Preparation is the most crucial step in asking a guy out. You need to start preparing early in advance, so that you can consider all the factors that will make it easy for you to ask your crush out. Flirt with him by sending signals that will prepare him psychologically, and that will give him a hint of what you are preparing to do. Having a date in mid will add color to the already good package.
- Choose an appropriate venue. The venue will also matter. It is advisable to choose a casual and relaxing venue so that you can make your request.
- Be at your best when you go to meet him. Having chosen the venue, what follows is the actual day of asking him out. On this day, be in your best outfit: the outfit that brings the best out of you. This will boost your confidence.
- Just pop the question confidently. When time comes to ask the question, just ask: don't hesitate. Be calm and ask him out in a simple sentence. You can just ask him, "Are you busy this afternoon?"
- Accept the answer gracefully. If the answer is "yes", your mission is accomplished. If it is "No", just smile and be confident that his will accept it one day.
Men like it when women ask them out because they no longer have to do it themselves. However, asking a guy out could be a bit tricky for women. However, with the right mindset, one can make it, whether it is through a phone call, a text message or a written request.

Oh little Annabel… this story melts my little heart. Annabel has osteogenesis imperfecta – which sadly means her bones break very easily. Annabel has captured my heart with her inquisitive, intelligent, adventurous spirit. This is a soul that won't be shaken by broken bones. This is a soul that explores. She's incredible and I think given five minutes in her shoes I'd be a wreck, so she's an inspiration to me. This story was given to me by Gail at Wipe Away Those Tears, another incredible human! Gail has set up a fund to help little people like Annabel out with much-needed equipment or just a gift to make poorly kids smile. It's such a lovely philosophy and we're proud to support Gail in her endeavours.

SANDUSKY, Ohio – In a home doubleheader which really wasn't on Friday (April 26) at Sports Force Parks, Ashland University's softball team split with Davenport, winning the opener 3-2 and losing Game 2 6-5.
The Eagles remain in third place in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference standings at 32-20 overall and 17-13 in the league, while the Panthers stay in the No. 2 spot in the conference at 29-18, 21-9.
Ashland was scheduled to play Davenport at home, but with no fields in Ashland to secure due to the annual Wendy's Spring Classic softball tournament, the Eagles went to Sandusky. In road/neutral-site games in 2019, AU is 25-15.
- Game 1 was moving at light speed thanks to the work of Ashland sophomore pitcher Laney Jones and Davenport hurler Mallory Teunissen. The Panthers scored first in the top of the third when Abby Merice, the GLIAC's leading hitter entering the day, snuck a two-run double down the left-field line.
- The score remained 2-0 until the bottom of the fifth, when senior center fielder Erika Farst turned on a Teunissen pitch and hit a two-run inside-the-park homer to knot the game at 2. For Farst, it was her third round-tripper of 2019.
- That set up senior right fielder Halle Dorko's heroics, as she launched a run-scoring double to left field to lift AU to a 3-2 advantage through six frames.
- Senior pitcher Hannah Stroe stranded a leadoff triple to start Game 2, but Davenport scored twice in the top of the third to once again strike first.
- An eventful third frame continued in the bottom, when the Eagles, following an 11-pitch walk drawn by junior second baseman Camille Pollutro, cut the deficit to 2-1 on a Dorko single, then took a 4-2 lead when senior third baseman Paige Summers ripped a two-run triple and scored on an error on the same play.
- Stroe kept Panther runners stranded at second and third with one out in the top of the fourth, but Davenport retook the lead at 5-4 with a three-spot in the top of the fifth, then added to its advantage with a run in the sixth.
- Down to their last out, the Eagles cut their deficit in half with an RBI double from sophomore shortstop Abigail Butler, but couldn't get the tying run to the plate.
- Jones improved to 15-9 on the season thanks to twirling a complete-game two-hitter, allowing the two third-inning runs and two walks and striking out three.
- Game 1 ended in an efficient 73 minutes.
- Butler was 2-for-2 with an RBI in Game 2, and has at least one hit in eight of her last nine games.
- Summers scored twice and drove in two runs in the nightcap.
- Stroe (15-11) yielded nine hits, five runs (three earned) and three walks and struck out two in five innings.
The end of the 2019 regular season on Saturday (April 27) at noon vs. Purdue Northwest (22-20, 13-15) at Baldwin Wallace University.

A NEW BRAIN scan technique may be able to tell whether a patient in a vegetative state has the potential to recover consciousness.
An article published in The Lancet journal outlines how traditional bedside examinations of patients in different states of unconsciousness lead to misdiagnosis in 40 per cent of cases.
The examinations are used to determine whether patients are in a minimally conscious state, in which there is some evidence of awareness and response to stimuli, or are in a vegetative state also known as unresponsive wakefulness syndrome.
Patients with the latter syndrome have a much lower chance of recovery and the new imagery known positron emission tomography (PET) as could help doctors decide on treatment.
"Our findings suggest that PET imaging can reveal cognitive processes that aren't visible through traditional bedside tests, and could substantially complement standard behavioural assessments to identify unresponsive or "vegetative" patients who have the potential for long-term recovery", says study leader Professor Steven Laureys from the University of Liége in Belgium.
The study used the new imagery technology during the course of mental imagery tasks that were being undertaken by the 126 patients who took part.
Jamie Sleigh of the University of Auckland explains how ineffective the current methods of examination can be in some cases:
In patients with substantial cerebral oedema [swelling of the brain], prediction of outcome on the basis of standard clinical examination and structural brain imaging is probably little better than flipping a coin.
One of the drawbacks of the new imagery however is that it may be difficult to roll out in hospitals on a wider basis. The study was carried out in a specialist unit that focuses on the neuroimaging of consciousness disorders and therefore had a level of expertise and equipment that would not be present in most clinics.

Makes about 5-6 lb.
3 lb beetroot, roasted
1 lb onion, chopped
2 pints vinegar
1 lb dessert apples, peeled and chopped
1 lb seedless raisins, chopped
3 tablespoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
2 lb granulated sugar
- Peel and cut the beetroot into cubes.
- Place onion and a little of the vinegar in a large preserving pan and cook for a few minutes to soften the onion. Add apples and raisins and continue cooking until pulpy.
- Add beetroot, ginger, salt and half the remaining vinegar.
- Simmer gently until thick.
- Stir in the sugar and remaining vinegar and continue cooking until thick again.
- Pot into cooled, sterilised jars, seal with a vinegar proof lid and label.
- Store for 6-8 weeks before using.
It takes a good few hours for the mixture to thicken up properly, but it is worth it!
So Andrew and I made it for the fun day, to sell on our own Eden Allotments Stall. We didn't have quite enough beetroot but it was easy to make the recipe work with some maths (which Andrew is good at ~ I suck at maths). We had bought a lovely new thick bottomed big pot in Ikea especially for preserve making and so we were rather excited to get going. Wow, the Gault household sounds so dull if that makes us excited!
It did take a while but nothing about is difficult and we were able to watch bits of tv and then go and stir the mixture; all made better by a glass of red wine in one hand, hehe. We got a lovely full Kilner jar (for ourselves) and 3 jam jars of the glorious food stuff out of our quantities. Okay, the house stank of vinegar for a couple of days afterwards but it feels great to make lovely things out of your own produce, and it will make money for the association on one hand and make Andrew happy on the other (me? ~ I happy to make money for the allotments, not so overjoyed with a stinky house and hubby ;) )
Just have to prettify (is that a word?) the jars with material over the lids tied with twine and they're ready to go. The chutney is the most beautiful deep red/purple colour and Andrew's labels look great, well done us!
Give it a go! Lovely pressie for a loved one, or for yourself x

Any good player will say: cap only when strictly necessary.
Anyone else should say: cap mostly, since we can't tell when it is necessary and when not. Instead they just say: cap.
This is so true, its always tomatoes that cap when not needed and fail to cap when it is needed

In the words of New York Times media critic David Carr: "Why the crumbling book business is worthy of so much attention from Justice while Wall Street skates is a broader question we'll leave for another day."
It's the first part of that sentence that counts.
Carr's observation appeared in his article documenting the trial and tribulations of Apple and five major publishing houses. Simon & Shuster, HarperCollins, Hachette, Macmillan and Penguin have been charged by the Department of Justice for price collusion in an attempt to loosen Amazon's stranglehold on the e-book market.
According to the allegations, back in 2010 Apple and the five publishers worked out a deal behind closed doors to fix e-book prices and adopt the agency-model. The publishers arranged to sell their books through Apple's iBookstore for $12.99-$14.99 (versus Amazon's bargain price of $9.99).
In contrast to the wholesale model, where retailers (i.e. Amazon) determine the value of e-books, the agency model allows publishers to set the price and the retailer (i.e. Apple) takes a 30 percent cut of the earnings. So far, three of the five publishers have settled, leaving Apple, Macmillan and Penguin to defend in court.
This is where Carr's throwaway line gains significance. It's no secret that the industry is struggling to cope with technological drift: People just don't buy books in print like they used to. Instead, as a 2011 report indicates, the future of publishing lies in e-books, while print sales are at best flat lining and at worst, dropping.
And that's what makes this case so important. The competing business models (wholesale versus agency) will directly impact the nascent (but growing) industry.
Mark Coker of Smashwords, an indie e-book publishing and distribution company, argues that while conspiracy is never a good thing, the agency-model is far superior because it gives the smaller fish a chance to compete with the big ones.
When retailers set the price, not only does it kill competition, but authors and publishers don't see the same profit margins. It boxes out the competition and may even lead to higher prices for consumers in the long run.
Coker also contends that the conditions of the settlement are especially burdensome because at the very moment when publishers should be given the flexibility and nimbleness to react to technological change, they're being forced to spend money complying with monitoring requirements that will slow them down: They're being legally mandated to stay dinosaurs when what they need is to evolve.
While this particular chapter may have come to a close, expect the saga to continue as Penguin, Macmillan and Apple do their battle in court. In the meantime, check out the Justice Department's Competitive Impact Statement for a more technical version of the case. If you rather know how this will affect e-book pricing as a consumer, check out Paid Content's predictions.

Thom Acee looks into the Future...
The Visions of 2011
**Usually I do try and keep things light with my articles, but the visions I received were actually rather ominous (granted, it could have very well been due just as much to my month long disaster movie marathon as it was to the visions of the future...). The following was written while conducting the "experiment". It is broken up into four sections, one for each of the sessions I underwent. Do not try this at home...**
For the United States, continued financial troubles will hamper the Nation during the first two quarters.
There will be food riots in Mexico, and in Asia.
Drought in China will lead to civil unrest and food riots later in the year.
Crude Oil will cost 150/barrel y summer, raising the price of gasoline in the States to well over three bucks a gallon. This will stall whatever economic recovery happened to get going on at the time.
Tensions in the Middle East will continue to grow as Iran moves closer to achieving their goals for creating an atomic weapon. Look for an Israeli strike to the nation around Labor Day.
The saber rattling between north and South Korea will continue to heighten. But it will not end in war. Look for Kim Jung Il's son to be disposed of in a very quiet coup de tat by high ranking military generals tired of being at the whim of mad men.
The war in Afghanistan will become bloodier as the American installed government loses the favor of the people once stories about the widespread corruption of the current government begins to be a useful tool for the Taliban warlords trying to regain their power.
President Obama will see his popularity reach new lows, as will the newly elected Republican congress as American citizens become disillusioned with the current state of affairs in Washington DC.
Europe will continue to have civil unrest due to their crippled national economies. Greece, Ireland, and England- already seeing such violent expressions of outrage- will see dramatic demonstrations in the streets that will get out of hand. Look for the debt crisis to also affect the stability of the European Union as more well off nations begin to resent the fates of their people being bound to the fats of less well off ones.
Not really a prediction, but I keep getting a strange feeling about something happening in the Pakistan/India area. Not sure what but something... just kind of got that feeling.
A male A List celebrity will due surprisingly late in 2011.
There will be an increase in UFO sightings, including a very public one in a major European city in the first four months of the year.
Look for something devastating to occur in Moscow by midyear.
Examples of civil unrest will start to show in the US as well. Major cities hard hit by the crippled economy will boil over with outrage and anger during the hot summer months.
A major earthquake will hit St. Louis in the fall.
Sarah Palin will not run for the Presidency in 2012.
The winter will be especially brutal for North America. Crippling blizzards will strike well into February in places where such weather isn't to be expected.
These are a few "human interest" answers I divined so it wasn't just a depressing list of doomsaying...
The Atlanta Falcons will win the Super Bowl.
Christopher Nolan will win the Oscar for "Best director" but The Social Network will take home the "Best Picture" award.Lady Gaga will dispel all the rumors about her being a hermaphrodite by announcing to the world that she is pregnant in the late summer.

Bitcoin trader Kolin Burgress is not happy with Mt. Gox. The London-native hopped a plane and headed all the way to Tokyo, Japan to let the Bitcoin exchange giant know how he felt about losing $320,000 worth of the currency.
"I may have lost all of my money," said Burgess. He had been picketing the building since February 14th, demanding answers.
"It hasn't shaken my trust in Bitcoin, but it has shaken my trust in bitcoin exchanges."
There is plenty of reason at present to have one's trust in Mt. Gox shaken. The company has yet to explain or resolve a massive security glitch that lead the organization to freeze member accounts. Mt. Gox is now blaming the security flaw for the theft of about 740,000 Bitcoins.
The alleged value of the stolen currency is said to be around $350 million. It's hard to put an exact value on the missing money as the currency remains unstable, prone to fluctuation as speculators worry. As questions arise over the safety and legitimacy of Bitcoins, the value continues to drop. The value of a Bitcoin fell from $550 to $470 in recent hours.

Simple battery is a misdemeanor in Louisiana and is punishable by up to six months in jail. Aggravated battery is when there is a weapon used while committing a battery. Second degree battery is when someone intends to cause and does cause serious injury to the victim. Some of the other types of batteries are battery of a police officer, battery of a school teacher, domestic abuse battery. Some battery offences can carry up to fifteen years in jail. There are also different types of sexual batteries which can carry even more time in jail. Sexual battery offences may also require sex offender registration. Many times victims of batteries are seeking damages and or reimbursement of medical bill. Persons accused of battery should be represented by attorneys to protect their rights. Ben LaBranche has experience defending people charged with misdemeanor and felony battery.

I seem to always be pulling a ceiling down.....This weekend was no exception, but not to the extent of the living room. In the kitchen I wanted to leave the lath, which is the thin strips of wood that are nailed up to the beams to hold the plaster on/into. So off I went making a mess and pulling a whole burnch of plaster down. This had to happen as the ceiling had that awful texture that makes it look like the top of a cup cake on it (thats a technical term). So even if the lath or beams weren't good under there it had to come down. I feel like the house is totally working with me as it came down and revealed just what i wanted underneath it. The greatest thing about this house is that it doesn't matter what any body else thinks about it! Some people may think this looks messy, or not finished but it couldn't be more perfect for me. Heres the before shot..
|As the process begins, putting tarps down helps the clean up
and really makes clean up that little bit better (translation it
still is the worst part)
|Me in the dusk at 9pm and you can see all the
crap that comes down as you start to pull it
down, its a process!
|hello my beautiful ceiling, at this point i was just happy it was done. I really should save
these projects for when people are here, but i have not patience i just want to get it done
I am my mothers son...
|It looks like a disaster in this shot, well a lot like
a disaster.
|The worst, lugging all the crap to the dump, this is
the bit i would love to pay someone to do
|then this guy had to go, would look good in another
kitchen but not mine..
|oh thats me, I innocently thought i would just take the tap
(faucet) off and then it ended looking like the below
|One thing led to another, it was interesting getting that
heavy cast iron sink out alone, i did a kind
of rolling technique
|At this point there is no turning back, i have no sink
and a room full of rubble, i chose to think of this as
Somewhere in amongst all this I had a washing machine and tumble dryer delivered. Yes this out of everything feels the most grown up. Thankfully I found a used set on craigslist so I didnt have to spend a ton on a grown up things like this. There used but Kitchen Aid brand so a good brand that can be (inevitably) fixed and repaired. Im in love with these shark bite connectors for plumbing. I moved the faucet outlets over, put the supply box in for the washing machine, moved the electric so its above the water line. Never a good idea to have them too close. Please note the use of a can lid to cover a hole in the shelf? No idea why they did this but i kept it. Secretly love all of these weird make do and mends. The plumbing was way easier than i thought and was smooth sailing.
|Shark bite T's
|Electric moving
|Probably should have cleared the shelves of the china first
but as you can see I just went ahead and work around it.
This again is the pantry/utility room and its amazing, all
the mess and tools are in here, its going to be a great
project room !
|Glamour shot of the new stop tap box and the washing
|Even more glamorous shout of the washing machine
out let to the drain.
Now that something essential like the washing machine was in and working i can move onto more exciting developments. The dryer not so much, I need a 240 volt outlet installed and as much as I would like to try this I have to draw the line somewhere. My friends dad is an electrician so maybe he can do it, in the mean time I'm going to get a local guy out to give me a quote.
As i say on to something a little more exciting, and may i say putting my wood working skills to some use. My cordless tools are some of my favorite things at the moment but i really wish i had a table saw for some more accurate cutting. Using an old box as the cutting bench is somewhat challenging, and the circular saw doesn't give the cleanest cut but...
|These are just the basic stock oak cabinets at home depot
The quality is okay, and the price is ever better at 120 for
the 18" base and a little more for the 24" base
Adding the side support rails for the platform
for the sink to sit into. This is planned
around a farm house sink
|I don't have the farm house sink yet so in the
interim i wanted to try an idea i have had for a while.
Just using a simple galvanized feed bucket and put
a drain outlet in it
|I've built it so the farm house sink can drop in here
when i get if but for now this will do
|Cutting the hole in the bottom for the drain. Side note,
make sure not to cut this too big as i did....
|Here is the drain inserted in the new hole,
worked better than i expected and would be way
better if the hole was 1/4" smaller
Another view of the framing. The farm house sink willdrop right in there, as long as i got my measurements
right. Im thinking of framing the front of it out like in
this picture. I will see once the sink is in there....
|More framing happening and these are the clamps
that i swear by. I used them in the city apt when
doning all the door frames and they are just great,
another set of hands
|So if I had been smart I would have taken this
photo without the shadow. There is a subtle
difference in the color on the top half and on
the bottom half...
|...the top colour is the living room, the colour on
the left was option A for the kitchen
(not grey enough) and the colour on the right was
option B for the kitchen.
So i painted half the room in the colour B paint, and i was on the fence about it, was too blue, almost cold. On a whim i mixed a 50/50 blend with the option A taupe color and it came out perfect, thats whats on the bottom half of the room in the first photo (on the wainscoting). Its a warmer grey without being too taupe. The colour on the top half was too blue. Ended up a prefect shade of grey/taupe by chance. I basically didn't have the time to drive back to home depot for more paint. Moral of the story, have a go and see what happens. Moral of the story, spend more time on paint choice...
|One last shot of some details of the framing, i won't
bore you any more with the details but feel free to ask,
way cheaper than a custom kitchen.
|I am so pleased with the way it all looks, they are not
finished yet but coming along. I really enjoy doing this,
given the time it would be great to build them from
Definitely not finished, there is another 18" drawer unit (i think) to go in the run so its a set of three units. Always sets of three. The 24" unit on the left hand side will hide the dishwasher when i find one on craigslist (lets all cross our fingers to the craigslist gods that the perfect one no more than an hour away for little money will be listed). The concept is pieces of furniture opposed to box standard units. I have this great blackened hardware that i have been holding from a trip to hong kong that will look perfect once they are painted grey. But this is where i left the weekend. I finally got to install my antique shelf brackets out of storage. They are already a white, chipped perfect patina. The massive old floor boards were used in the basement as vegetable storage. After a thorough bleaching (in the snow) and scrubbing down they look perfect, and were weirdly the perfect length. Finally all my white china has a home!! You have to read back into previous post to see my ramblings about whiteware, stoneware etc etc, my inner Martha Stewart takes over, all be it a British gay version of Martha. Now i have so much room for more, bring on the flea market finds. The cabinets themselves will be washed with the same grey as on the walls, but with some of the grain still showing. You can see the base rails being added as well to the units. I also just put some board on the tops so i have some counters to work on, and painted them black so i can get an idea how the slate will look. Its gonna look perfect. I can see some tile or a piece of slate running along that back as well, just a few inches. Along the top of the ceiling i also want to run a 1" by 2" wood trim to add a finishing to where the ceiling meets the walls. Again that balance of finished and unfinished. Its a work in progress...check back later in the week for the stove make over...

Reviews & Testimonials
Each and every testimonial/review below encompasses its own story and value.
We encourage everyone considering Aurora for addiction treatment to read each and every one.
I just wanted to send you a quick message! First too apologize for the behaviour during and after my stay at Aurora. I was completely selfish and full of ego and truly thought everyone owed me something and I was the victim here. Lol, wow could that of been any further from the truth. But today I am 8 months sober and life just keeps getting better . You guys at Aurora introduced me to the 12 step program of AA and clearly didn't care at that time for them but today my life is based around that big book! It's my bible and has saved my life. So Ian thank you and everyone at Aurora for being a huge part of my journey . Your saving lives and it's amazing . I cant thank you enough.
I came here so scared from Vancouver, BC, but everything came together so well Detox made sure I was comfortable and not in any pain and when I came out and got into my room everything got better. The rooms are so nice and cozy. When you get into your group in the morning and afternoon you will get so into it. Aurora saved my life and gave me a chance to live a second one.
I came to Aurora a broken man. I believe the services and staff at Aurora completely transformed my outlook and overall perspective of life in a positive way. They really focused on getting to the root of my problem. Aurora has so many different options of healing and help, that I was able to fill my day easily. The yoga, meditation, smudging and sweat lodges were a huge part of my personal recovery. The staff were very accommodating as well as very understanding. The food was great. If I knew anyone struggling with addiction or mental health issues I will be sure to tell them about Aurora! Thanks for giving me back my life Aurora.
I'm so thankful for Shelley-Ann, Sam R. without those two I wouldn't be here today! They went above and beyond to help me become the person I am today and will work to be for the rest of my life!
Giving recovery a chance has been life changing for me. My attitude an outlook on life has changed in ways I never thought possible. I've found happiness in my life, something I never imagined I could have.
Thank you Aurora, I have never felt better in my entire life and I am excited to continue my journey in recovery. I will stay connected and be back soon! Thank you so much for this awesome experience I am more grateful than words can say.
We are all born with a light inside of us. When you look at a joyful child you witness the natural ability they have to emanate happiness, peace and love, into most around them. This drives me to question where that light has gone in a lot of us as we reach adulthood. With this question in mind, I listened to the stories of the many people that I have had the wonderful opportunity to spend the last two months getting to really know. I am grateful that we are all able to breakdown the many barriers that we are so used to keeping up in our past lives. I am grateful that I got to know the real you's and introduce you to the real me.
It is because of this, I learned that we all have had our light dimmed down by something. Some of us had our light stomped out abruptly, sometimes more than once. Some of us have had it slowly taken away from us over a long period of time. The differences in how we lost our light are irrelevant, because of the one thing we all have in common. That is that we all strive to shine again. Who here has seen the Aurora Borealis? I am sure that if you have seen it you will concur that it is a spectacular phenomenon to witness. So it is fitting that this facility, no this sanctuary for our own sanity is named Aurora. Because like the dancing light that takes the darkness out of the sky, this place helps bring light into the darkness of our lives.
There are no words that I can write that can accurately capture what this place has done for me. I came here broken, beaten, lost and with no will to live. This place helped me gain that will to live and helped me recover a life I never thought I was capable of achieving. I owe this place the largest debt of gratitude and the only way I can pay it back is by passing on what it taught me. I will live the rest of my life always calling the walls of Aurora home no matter where I am and because of this place I will always be Awesome But Getting Better!!!
Thank you Aurora, thank you for the gift of life and recovery because of you I know my brother smiles down and is proud of me and for that I am ever in your debt.
A Changed Man
Came here with not many friends or pride. I'm leaving with my pride and dignity and a future that's as bright as the sun if I follow the steps needed to stay sober and trustworthy. By all means all humans deserve a better way of life. Thanks again.
Aurora offers so much to their members. They customize each member's program according to needs. It is a very comfortable centre with extra therapies offered. I felt very special + the staff was top- notch. They make sure you have a great recovery plan for returning home + you are a member forever and can always be in touch with them.
This is the best looney bin I've ever been to! Thank you for everything.
Aurora saved my life.
Aurora is the best place to get recovery + I would recommend Aurora.
Aurora saved my life and made me feel like I belonged somewhere finally. Aurora makes me feel like a part of a new family and support me even when I finished the program. Choosing Aurora was the best choice I ever made. I am so grateful for this place cause I was born again, and never been happier.
The men's group and wing is the motivation I needed to get back on my feet.
The staff care. It's a safe and comforting environment for anyone who wants to get help. You will learn skills and meet people that will stick with you for the rest of your life.
Aurora helped me find the inner link to friendship and family. I've always longed for greater intimacy. Thank you to the staff that took that extra attention to detail that made my stay and recovery memorable.
I am so happy I came here. Changed my life.
Aurora has helped me figure myself out. Become aware of my addiction and where it stems from. Without this place I would still be lost. I feel happy and confident in myself and my abilities. As well I have met a lot of great like minded people who share a common goal. I've met a lot of great friends for life. Thank you Aurora.
Aurora is truly a special place – It's location lakeside is perfect and offers more nature and clean air then any of the previous 3 facilities I have been to. I know for a fact I will be coming back to either volunteer, come to the odd meeting or call in to check in whenever possible. The staff are perfect and address situations as professionals and went out of their way to help me whenever I asked and sometimes could tell even before I could that there was something up with me. Detox and when I transferred out to the men's wing both felt like home. I will always cherish the time I've spent here.
Recovery is not about how beautiful you are on the outside, but how beautiful you are on the inside and we can help you find the inner beautiful you. It just takes one easy step – call, email…
Rehab is a tough thing to go through but with Aurora's staff, members and counseling methods. You get the tools, knowledge and support to achieve sobriety. Thanks to Aurora, I got my life back.
I would never have imagined there could be a place where I could peel my "layers" down to my most raw place and among strangers. I felt safe and cared about.
I walked through the doors of Aurora a broken man!! In the beautiful well balanced months I existed here. I have had breakdowns, breakthroughs, tears of pain, tears of joy, a sense of hope and loss of fear. I am walking out of these doors knowing the me that I am glad to have finally met. Thank-you.
Overall, I have met nice people and members, and learned sobriety is possible and achievable and that Happiness, Joy, Freedom can be a normal thing and that sadness is not something that needs to be masked but expressed in healthy ways and that life is too short and I'd rather be a sober mess than a high mess. Looking forward to and be working here. I am grateful for all of what Aurora has done. Thank you.
Aurora was an experience of a lifetime. I honestly believe it saved my life. The staff were just amazing. I'd recommend this place to anyone. Thanks to all the staff.
Aurora is an awesome place to better yourself. I don't regret my time here at all!
I have been looking for a good counselor for over 2 years and I found one here at Aurora. Jennifer!
Aurora- specializes treatment to the individual needs of members. I am leaving here with love and respect for myself. Empowered with knowledge about my addiction + behaviors + thoughts + feelings. Ability to face challenges after care with the tools I need.
I think this place is awesome if you put in the work and help yourself. The staff are the most accommodating people there is, if I wouldn't be around, dead or prison.
I was lost and empty. I felt hopeless with no purpose. I was so angry when I arrived and refused to let anyone in or show weakness. Aurora didn't give up on me, they listened and helped me through feelings I never wanted to feel. I found be vulnerable isn't weak it's courage and being open, honest and willing to change is the toughest but most rewarding thing in the world. This place saved my life, my soul and my spirit. I actually want to live, care to live and dream to make a difference now. I have more faith than fear and the only thing I fear is going back in my sobriety. It takes a village……it took Aurora and my H.P to save this girl and I am so grateful. The only way to show my gratitude is to stay sober and help others along my path. Thank you.
Aurora was a great help dealing with past hurt. Giving me tools to deal with them and my addiction. Guidance how to deal with my future struggles that will arise, after getting out.
A big thank you to all the staff and members that made my stay a positive one….I get to leave here a changed man with a fresh start! Also….Darlene was great and deserves a big raise!!!!
The guidance and support gave me the tools to save my life! All the promises come true if you do the work! I will always be grateful to the staff for supporting my journey to recovery, including my physical, spiritual and mental health. I would recommend to anyone that needs support to find their own recovery.
My experience at Aurora was incredible! The staff and therapists were more than accommodating. Very caring and willing to help me during my stay. I'll definitely be sharing my experience after I leave here! Thank-you everyone, you all rock!
Couldn't have asked for a more helpful and safe recovery. My stay here has been exceptional. Thanks to all the staff. Great job.
Aurora is a safe and friendly environment. I have learned so much and truly feel I have all the tools necessary to be successful and live a life of sobriety.
I liked everything Aurora provided me, the food was great, I learned lots. The sweats were fun, once you got into the program, they kept you really busy. The staff was great. They make it really comfortable and made you feel at home.
Thank you Aurora for being patient with my craziness. I give Aurora a 10/10
Aurora Recovery Centre has helped me to reconnect with my inner most self and spirituality. While at Aurora I gained knowledge on how to deal with my addiction and start my process of recovery. The facility is top notch and the staff is very professional and caring. I would highly recommend Aurora to anyone that wants recovery from their addiction.
Aurora saved my life! The personalized program helped me to overcome my and prepare me for life outside of this bubble.
When I first arrived at ARC I had no faith that any institution/Rehab/Recovery Centre could save me. After 42 days at Aurora, I have hope for myself and my 8-year-old daughters future. Maintaining my sobriety is now attainable. The tools I have acquired at ARC have set me up for a promising future after 15 years of addiction.
I have been to another rehab before Aurora. Coming here I thought I would never get anything positive out of it! I was wrong! Aurora got me back on track and feeling great about myself. I learned more about addiction and I am ready to go and use it in the real world, and I should be able to stay straight. Thanks a lot Aurora for getting my head out of my ass.
I thought of rehab as a high-end detox for the first while. I could only see negatives. I eventually changed my perspective and I even asked to stay longer. I am glad I did. Every day I learn something new about myself, and I improve my ability to function as a member of my family/society. I couldn't have made a better choice by coming to Aurora.
I feel extremely fortunate that I could address my addiction recovery at Aurora Treatment Centre in Gimli, Manitoba. The facility is top notch. The counselors, nurses, and all the staff are persons of utmost character and professionalism. The wide variety of programs such as yoga, fitness, and aqua-fit, to mention a few are extremely therapeutic.
I always felt that my care and well-being was top priority at Aurora and this was confirmed daily. Meals are nutritious and professionally prepared fresh every day.
The Aurora Recovery Centre has given me the opportunity to recover in all areas of my life. Addressing the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual areas at the same time speeds up the recovery process. To recover from addiction there must be a profound alteration to the way I react to life. The Aurora team has gifted me the ability to recognize, analyze and respond, in the day to day life. I will forever be grateful for my experience at Aurora. I look forward to sharing the gifts I have been given here with the people I encounter in my day to day life.
I am very pleased to have found my recovery here at Aurora. It was an amazing experience. The staff is Top Notch. Starting each day with meditation is now a must on my to do list. I found the sessions very helpful and informative. I would highly recommend this facility.
I want to express HUGE THANKS to you and the team at Aurora! Thanks for taking the time to visit us at the HSC in Winnipeg back in Jan 2017 .. it was a life changer! To see my brother Ted W sober is something I thought I could dream of! He is without a doubt, my hero! I am again so very thankful for all that you do to help people/families who struggle with addiction. Things are going pretty good with the whole family! My sister –n –law had been incredible-I give her a ton of credit for sticking around and also to get the help she needs! We have all learned and are learning a lot and take it one day at a time. So again, I must thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving life back to our family!!
My stay at Aurora saved my life. I thought I 'd never escape the grip of my addiction to Alcohol. I now feel I have the tools to live a happy and healthy life filled with real emotions.
My experience at Aurora has been life-changing. This place honestly saved my life. The staff is world class from the moment I walked in the door. The variety of treatment ranging from meditation, personal fitness training, cardio club, 1 ON 1 sessions, in-depth group work and unique therapy such as acupuncture, EMDR, taping, sweat lodges, art therapy, yoga and the list goes on. The food has been amazing. I am blessed to have come here and met the people I have. Most importantly through learning about spirituality, I have learned to love myself and be humble.
My overall experience at Aurora was amazing. I have changed my life over the last 30 days and I am forever grateful for all the staff and members that helped me through my rock bottom and to be able to find hop and faith for my future.
Aurora has saved my life without this program I would be missing out on my life with my wife and kids. It has also brought back my relationship with my God. This place is 100% worth every penny I have spent.
Aurora was the best thing that ever happened to me. It changed my life for the better. The staff is awesome here. It felt like one big happy family. Made some new sober friends here. I am living life once again.
The Aurora Recovery Centre has truly been a blessing in my life. The centre is located at an incredibly beautiful and serene setting on Lake Winnipeg. The accommodations were beautiful, very clean and comfortable with breath taking views. As a vegetarian, I was so grateful for the special attention given to my dietary needs. The food was fantastic! Meals were delicious, balanced and healthy.
Most importantly, ARC helped me to detox from alcohol in a safe environment and taught me how to live a happy and healthy sober life. Through individual counselling and therapy, the 12 Step Program, daily meditation and group sessions and classes, I was given the tools I needed to reclaim my life. The staff was caring, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive throughout my 30 days at Aurora. They continue to be an amazing support as I navigate my way through sobriety out in the world. I am grateful for the check-in calls I have received and for weekly Continuing Care meetings. They help keep me grounded in my journey of recovery.
I felt honoured to have been given the opportunity to explore some traditional spiritual practices at Aurora. These included daily smudging, sweat lodges, and a pipe ceremony. Participation was completely optional but I would highly recommend taking advantage of these opportunities. They definitely helped me find a deeper spiritual connection in my recovery.
One of the greatest gifts of all has been the relationships I developed with other members of the centre. I have found a group of amazing new sober friends who support each other in our new fantastic sober life! Sobriety is more amazing than I ever thought possible and I couldn't have done it without the Aurora Recovery Centre.
It took 10 years for my family and health services to get me to attend a recovery centre. It came to a point in my life that I could no longer manage or control my life. I looked at many recovery centres and decided to attend Aurora. It turned out to be the best decision I made in years. The staff was in so emphatic and caring from the time I came in the front door till the time I went out the door. The facility provided me with all the treatment and therapy required for my stay and more importantly, to come once again control my life. Aurora is a first-class treatment facility and I am very thankful for a new beginning it enabled me to obtain. I am now confident that I will succeed!
I have been to 3 previous rehabs over the past 15 years and continually relapsed. I now recognize at Aurora that I did not have the necessary tools to maintain my sobriety. My counsellors identified my issues and concerns and I must say they are the best counsellors on the planet!
As I walk on the beach for the last time, gazing out the amazing sunrise, I feel serene. I have come to this point in my life to understand what freedom really means, to be aware of what surround me, but also to choose how to makes me feel and how I will react to it. And for that, I thank Paul for the meditation and experience shared, Sean my counsellor who helped me through my recovery, Linda, Lucille, Natasha and all my brothers and sisters from the fellowship.
Much Thanks to all Staff at Aurora
Aurora was an experience of a life time. I honestly believe it saved my life. The staff was just amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone.
I have been struggling with Drug and Alcohol for the last 20 years. In and out of residential and day programs for the last two years. I was at my last resort; the future was looking grim. After hearing about Aurora, I thought it was last chance.
After making the call to Aurora, they put me at ease and welcomed me with open arms. The program here is built around the member with group counselling, one on one counselling, family counselling and even a tailored physical training programs. I can say with all honesty that they care about the member and I didn't just feel like another number.
They worked with me through the good and hard times and it wasn't easy. There is no easy way out of the vicious cycle of addiction, as any one knows with the problem. But at Aurora they make it that much easier for my family and I to deal with. My family and I are so thankful for what Aurora has done for us. It wasn't easy but if you put in the hard work in, they are here to support you 24/7. I am now 30 days sober and feel like the weight of addiction is off my chest. There still a long way to go on my road to recovery, with the help of the Aurora Team they have given me the tools I need to succeed. I can't THANK THEM ENOUGH!!!
Being a military man, I know what it is like to serve and so thank you for all your compassion, hard work and tools that I can now use to live a clean and sober life.
If I had not found Aurora, I would probably still be out there slowly killing myself, one drink at a time. So once again, thanks for teaching me all about the disease of addiction and what it takes to recovery from it. I totally understand now that I am the one who must do the work of recovery and that recovery is an inside job but can't done alone either.
The facility is world class and being a fitness guy and I was pleased to find a gym, pool and yoga room along with great running trails and even a beach. Thanks again to all the counsellors who help me see clearly how addiction has been destroying my life. I am forever grateful.
I was a patient at the Aurora Recovery Centre in December 2016. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for what has been a life changing experience. The expertise, concern for the welfare of all patients and genuine care given was outstanding. The facility a was perfect setting in which to address my addiction. At all times, I felt safe and part of my own recovery.
At all levels the staff was truly knowledgeable in how to cater to each member's individual needs and concerns. The program had a great balance of physical, mental and spiritual programs designed with the only goal being recovery.
I would not hesitate to recommend the facility and staff at Aurora for any person desiring to get the help that they need to aid in their recovery.
I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for the exceptional love, care and attention you gave me over 60 days of treatment. Not only did you attend to my medical needs with detox but you provided me with emotional support and friendship during this very difficult time.
The nurses, the techs, the administrative, kitchen, therapist, yoga and fitness instructors, counsellors, member care team and even the housekeeping were all outstanding. And of course, the environment with a comfortable bed, beautiful room over looking Lake Winnipeg, and heaven like surroundings were conducive to peaceful and very comfortable recovery.
I have made great progress, lasting recovery relationships and now have 9 months clean and sober. I am feeling alive, confident and excited about my sobriety and life for the very first time. I highly recommend Aurora Recovery Centre to anyone wanting to experience the miracle of recovery at world class recovery facility.
The Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre and Aurora Recovery Centre have been working together these past few months to discuss developing resources for Indigenous families living in Winnipeg and involved in the child welfare system to prevent and reduce children from coming into care. We engaged in developing this relationship because of their genuine commitment and flexibility to doing things differently, holistically and respecting the traditional ways Indigenous people care and protect one another. Our equal partnership focuses on the strengths we both bring to a child-centered and family centered community based service delivery model intended to improve outcomes for Indigenous families. We are immediately focusing on how our Family Group Conference Program which is in partnership with Manitoba Child and Family Service Agencies can improve reducing the numbers children in care because families have the supports they need to succeed. The Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre is looking forward to working in partnership with Aurora Recovery Centre and encourage others to join us in widening the circle to support Indigenous families.
Aurora is an awesome, safe, caring place. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to come there and change my life around.
Overall it was a great place to restart my life. I feel lucky in a way that I was able to come here to take ownership of my problems and the skills to deal with them.
Thank you, Aurora!
The Aurora Recovery Centre proved to be a very important turning point in my life. As a recovering Alcoholic my personal demons become unmanageable. I was thoroughly impressed by Aurora and how they offered many exceptional copying, learning and healing tools.
The primary importance of healing was treated with compassion by an excellent Medical Team and attentive Detox care.
The daily schedules included many impressive recreational and exercise activities. Strict attention to the member's healing requirements were always evident.
Many special health care professionals all contributed to an amazing growth experience for me. From Doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, counselors and all facility staff, they all nurtured my emotional and physical health.
I wholeheartedly recommend Aurora to anyone who battles an addiction and craves a solution to it. Aurora Recovery Centre and the exceptional people who work there will continue to help many suffering families far into the future.
Aurora has been absolutely paramount to my recovery. The people here truly care about your sobriety and well-being. Everyone from the CCS workers to the counselors and even the drivers. Upon arriving here, you are going to experience a roller coaster of emotions. You are going to go from happy to sad to mad to indifferent, sometimes all in the same day, but stick it out. It probably won't be easy, in fact, I promise you it won't be easy, but it is worth it!
The relief comes, the pain ends, and the laughter begins. I've gone through the hardest time of my life here at Aurora, but I've had the funniest time of my life here as well. Every one of you who walk through the doors of Aurora is a warrior! You all are fighters! So keep on fighting! Keep fighting the good fight!
I have struggled with alcohol abuse for 8 years and have taken part in 4 rehabilitations. Last June I realized I needed more help to find the root of my problem. I heard good things about Aurora, the new addiction center in Gimli and called. I arrived on a Sunday and was welcomed by a supportive group of professionals. From there I started my 45-day program to recovery. The program consisted of grief counseling, co-dependency, self-compassion, anger management, healthy relationships, and forgiveness.
We followed the twelve steps of alcoholics anonymous and studied the first three steps intensely. I also had an opportunity to see a psychologist and had one on one sessions with my counselor each week. I plan on seeing my psychologist in Winnipeg during my rehabilitation.
Aurora was very comfortable. The beds were great and the rooms were clean. The food was delicious and healthy as well. The kitchen staff went over and above to meet our needs. I was able to work out at the gym and pool daily. We also attended 6 AA meetings in the evenings. Sunday afternoon was set aside for family visitation. Group started each morning with a 20-minute meditation followed by 3-hour group therapy in the morning and again in the afternoon.
I feel that Aurora gave me the tools for a successful, sober life.
I am so grateful for the Aurora Recovery Center! Someone I love with all my heart just finished treatment here. He has talked nonstop about the facility and awesome staff. He actually said he loved it! I wish I had room here to tell all the wonderful stories of the kindness and awesome care he received while he was there. Thank you to Paul Melnuk and to all of the Aurora staff! You are all very special and amazing people!!!!
I know they have some great counselors and people involved! Treatment saved my life!!!

Koki - Karee Mirch Waree/Black Pepper Flavored Koki with Apple-Carrot Raita and Tri-Daali - A Sindhi Breakfast Spread
- Take the Flour in a wide bowl, add Pepper, Salt and Ghee to it.
- Mix the ghee into the flour and it will start to resemble a coarse mixture, Now add water little by little to make a tight dough. Do not add all the water at the same time
- Divide the dough into two balls, Roll each ball into a thick Disc, using a knife make diagonal cuts on the disc. Since these bread's are rolled thick, the criss-cross markings on them , make sure they are cooked from the inside too!!!
- Heat a tava, cook the disc on the both the sides until brown spots appear on them. Smear ghee on both the sides and cook. Keep the flame in medium and cook both sides until crisp.
- We had it with our evening tea. The Koki stays good for 2 days. I served it with Apple-Carrot Raita and Tri-Daali Dal

There are few things in this world that feel as good as giving back to one's community – especially if it has a positive impact on young people. This past Friday, our agency executed its sixth annual Community Service Day, and it was my first time participating. Nearly 300 employees descended on Southwark School in South Philadelphia to completely transform the place from a dark and dingy 100-year-old stone block to a brightly-colored, inspiring space to learn in.
[Southwark School, AKA Orange Is The New Black]
Being the overzealous and eager person that I am, I signed up to lead a mural project for the day. Many hours of preparation went into drawing and designing a mural on paper, then going out to the school to outline the mural on one of the walls. I chose to do a floor to ceiling castle mural that would turn out to be far more labor intensive than I could have imagined. Despite my optimistic idealism, I was still a ball of nerves and anxiety going into the day: how would I know what to do? What if no one showed up to help? These questions and more were banging around my head, causing me to experience a primal fight or flight response… but ultimately, I decided to stay and fight.
Friday came around and I woke up at 6 a.m., rolled out of bed and drove to Southwark School. I started the day by putting some finishing touches on the mural drawing. By 7:30 a.m. my volunteers began to arrive and they wasted no time in helping me tape up the borders and lay down plastic to protect the school's floors. By 8 a.m. I was turning people away – we had more volunteers than we could possibly use, and they were all incredible. Admittedly, I was a bit lost and overwhelmed, this being my first time and all, but everyone who came to help worked together to guide the project in the right direction. I have truly never felt more supported in all of my life. My fellow mural-painters were smiling, joking, working, and taking charge.
Before I knew it, the day was coming to a close. I stood back and admired the mural and WOW was it incredible. Since I had been the project lead, I barely picked up a paintbrush the whole day, and instead made it my mission to help direct and support my volunteers as much as possible – and they did an incredible job.
Once I left my mural station, I walked around the school in amazement. On my first trip to Southwark School, I had tears in my eyes due to the sad, decrepit state of the building. It was dark, gray, smelly, and generally depressing. I couldn't fathom being a kid and having to come to this school every day with its peeling walls and decaying school yard. But in just 6 hours our agency turned the school into an exciting hub. I can't imagine how thrilling it will be for those children to come back in the fall and walk into their school. I hope they take as much pride in it as my agency did in the entire Community Service Day process. It was truly one of the most inspirational and memorable experiences of my life.

If necessary, the strike may be extended with an additional nine days spread across April and May.
Make contact with the airline

If you are affected by the strike in any way, your are asked to contact the airline company from whom you have booked your tickets. Learn more about your rights when a flight is delayed or cancelled via the links in the text, or through the sidebar of the article.
Update: The French aviation authority, DGAC, has confirmed that they have asked airlines to reduce their air traffic by 50 percent tomorrow, April 9. This is a result of the continuing strike.

What do you get here?
Always ice cream. Sometimes a cannoli.
How often do you come?
I try to resist coming here all the time. I like ice cream in general.
I have a running joke that when I retire I'm just going to work here, scoop ice cream. Sounds so easy, sounds so simple—I know it's not, but I like to think it is. That's what I hope my future job will be: mostly pleasant, like my music career—mostly pleasant.
What about flavors?
I'm a sucker for strawberry. I remember growing up in Minneapolis, going to my fiddle lesson and if I had a good lesson, my mom would treat me to a sundae and French fries.
What about nuts?
No nuts! Never in dessert, especially ice cream.
Not even pistachio?
Okay, I'll do that, but no walnuts!

Patent holders in the United States might not have patent protection elsewhere in the world. Other individuals or businesses can use copyrighted works or patented inventions abroad. To protect patents abroad, it is essential to have an experienced legal professional review patents and copyrights to determine their application outside of the U.S.
According to the United States Copyright office, a copyright protects the creator's original works and authorship, including written novels, plays, creative projects, computer programs, and others. Since U.S. copyrights do not protect actual ideas, it is possible for another creative individual to express similar ideas to those copyrighted. Foreign patent protection is an important step for the author, creator, or code writer to take.
International Copyrights
Since the U.S. Copyright Office (Copyright Circular 38a) has established relations with other countries, an acknowledgement or possible protection of the creator's U.S. copyright might be possible. However, most countries do not maintain copyright relationships and no protection of the creator's work can be expected in these countries.
International Trademarks
Some businesses use trademarks as part of their brand identity. Identifying marks, including ™, SM, and other symbols next to the business name or logo reflects the trademark/service mark of the business.
The U.S. business should first file a U.S. trademark on the path to protecting an international trademark. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) registers international trademarks but it is important to register the trademark in the home country first. U.S. Customs also registers trademarks in the U.S. in order to prevent trademark infringement importation.
International Patents
A patent is necessary to protect an inventor's product or discovery. A patent discourages others from using, recreating, and profiting from another's work. A U.S. patent does not provide complete international protection of the inventor's intellectual properties and USPTO patents are only protective within the United States.
Since all-inclusive international patents do not exist in today's world, no one patent protects the inventor's product or discovery. The inventory must research and file a patent in countries in which the product or discovery will be used and in which the owner requires protection.
WIPO's Patent Cooperation Treaty, also known as PCT, may simplify the process of filing multiple international patents. Since requirements and patent fees vary according to the country, it is important to consult with an experienced patent attorney about various countries' intellectual property laws.
Engaging an experienced patent attorney can protect the creator's rights in the U.S. and abroad. Knowing about the types of protection available to the inventor, creator, or code writer can protect intellectual property rights and income.
International production, marketing, sales, and distribution of a patented discovery, process, or product requires careful evaluation. The owner of the patent must consider legal factors in addition to the appetite for the product or discovery. Market location, resources, goals, competition, and taxation must be considered in addition to trade secrets presence/absence in the foreign patent application as well as the levels of patent protection in prospective international markets.

Lynne is an astrologer and craftsperson. Her passion for astrology began in 1989, while her passion for textile~crafts and creative bookbinding has been woven throughout her life.
She has always been fascinated with the unique essence which imbues each individual, that which magically and mysteriously creates each of us as a creative Self. This, together with a passionate desire to connect with and explore the oft hidden depths in life, led to explorations into Western psychology and Eastern mysticism beginning in her teenage years and later a degree in sociology and psychology before she embarked on her astrological studies. Since then she has worked with astrology and crafts, through tuition and her own creative work. She has worked with children of all ages and raised a family (and still is!). She has also developed skills in body and soul healing.
Her astrological approach is to encourage and inspire personal exploration and empowerment. She has been facillatating small groups for the last 7 years, blending astrology and myth around a creative zodiac or planetary 'mandala'.
Lynne is deeply inspired by the beauty, power and fragility of nature, the dance of order and chaos throughout Earth and Cosmos, and the amazing potential within each of us to become more and more truly ourselves through being touched and moved by our experiences and our phenomenal capacity to grow and transform.
