"Sabrina is my go to expert for ALL things marketing, especially how to get visible in the crowded online space. Her marketing makes her memorable and a STAND OUT. It's how we first connected! Her background as a marketing director, genuine care and attention to her clients and ability to get results is a no brainer for me to refer anyone who wants to build a business of their dreams. Sabrina will transform your business! She helped me improve my email marketing conversion 4X with her suggestions."
Susan, Sales Coach
"Before working with Sabrina, I was in the earlier stages of launching my business and wanted 1:1 support, especially on the marketing strategy side. I also wanted that accountability you get when working with a coach 1:1.
During our time together I properly launched my business, started and grew my list, created my Facebook group and social media channels, signed on 1:1 clients, and filled my first group program!
I learned so much about marketing, and I now use all of it in my business daily! I loved having the 1:1 support and accountability, and having someone to reach out to when I found something particularly challenging. Sabrina is great at giving actionable feedback, so you know exactly what you need to be doing to improve.
I recommend Sabrina to anyone looking to have a marketing expert's eyes on their business. If you're looking for 1:1 support (who isn't?) to jumpstart or really grow your business, Sabrina is your girl!"
Kirstie, Mindset & Business Coach
@Kirstie Bruce
"Before speaking with Sabrina, I didn't really know how to tell my authentic story, where to find my ideal clients and how to stand out in a crowded online space. In the first few mins of speaking with Sabrina, I realized how knowledgeable, resourceful and approachable she was. After having only 6 sessions with Sabrina, I got my first paying client and sold my first 6 month package! I would recommend working with Sabrina for getting clarity and step-by-step strategies to make your dream business a reality! She cleared a lot of my doubts and provided me with so much value and takeaway information to work on that will definitely help me move further ahead in my business development."
Neha, Mindset Coach
@With Love Neha Neyak
"Sabrina has answers and processes that can help you get your business off the ground. In other words, Sabrina KNOWS what she is doing. If you're serious about really getting your business going, then reach out to her. Working with Sabrina will change your life. I would not be where I am today without Sabrina's help. If you are looking to launch an online consulting or coaching business and want to know step-by-step how to do it, then Sabrina is the coach for you."
Anita, Facebook Ads Strategist
@Janiva Digital Marketing
"Before working with Sabrina I was prepping for the launch of my writing business, ensuring everything was aligned with my heart and my goals. I got great feedback about how to implement the sales conversation, which is something I do NOT excel at on my own, so that insight was extremely helpful. It was also nice and affirming that I'm on the right path in a couple of areas I was unsure of - it allowed me to give myself the permission to charge ahead fearless in those areas. It was great to connect with a like-minded individual who has strengths in areas that are my weaknesses (sales, hello!) because I love learning from people like that. Sabrina gave me solid action steps and points to think on as well.
When you're in the trenches of getting your business ready for launch, it's helpful to get out of your own head for a little while and discuss with someone else. Sabrina did an excellent job meeting me where I was at and elevating me from there. Sabrina is really personable and genuinely cared about where I was, what my struggles were, how we meshed together, and how she could help. That authentic connection is a big deal. I would recommend Sabrina to those who are starting out and trying to elevate their business, whether that's getting clear on your ideal client or moving into the steps of selling, engaging, etc."
Torie, Content Marketer/Partner
@Wild Spark Creative
"Before working with Sabrina I was struggling with getting my business off the ground, honing in on my niche, figuring out what I would offer and how I would do that. Sabrina helped me nail down my ideal client and gave me actionable steps that were so in-depth and helpful! Working with Sabrina made me realize how much more of myself needed to go into my brand messaging and that my brand does need to have a personality to really shine. Plus, she also gave me invaluable advice that sparked my offer and opt-in ideas. I really can't wait to bring everything to fruition! I would absolutely recommend Sabrina to anyone looking to gain some clarity as well as actionable steps to take to really hone in on their messaging and offers. What she provides has such amazing value!"
Casey, Owner
@The Nola Bride
"I didn't have any hesitations when speaking with Sabrina. When we first started working together, I was on the cusp of launching my first online course. I was feeling stuck and I knew my positioning was not as strong as it could be. I was having trouble writing copy on my sales page to speak to the people I wanted to serve. I didn't feel like I knew my ideal customer and what they needed or wanted.
After working with Sabrina I gained clarity around who I am serving, why I am serving them, and what problem I am helping them solve. Sabrina helped me cut straight to the heart of who I want to serve and also helped me navigate several options of niches I was considering. I was so inspired to brainstorm and strategize with my positioning for my online course sales page and sales video. I refocused my efforts into narrowing my niche to serve people who need my help and expertise. I would recommend Sabrina to anyone who is at the early stages of their business and is looking to gain clarity. I wish I would have talked to Sabrina earlier in my entrepreneurial journey, it would have saved me a ton of time and I would have known how to position my brand in a strategic way right from the start."
Adrienne, Speech-Language Pathologist
@Learn With Adrienne, LLC
"When I was in the midst of setting up my online business, I realized how much I needed Sabrina's marketing expertise, which is far beyond the textbook marketing that I learned in my MBA. Sabrina's been my Online Marketing Guru, helping me shape up my message, branding, target audience, social media presence, and giving me continuous feedback and encouragement throughout the process. The cherry on top of the cake is that she's one of the sweetest chicas you'll ever work with!"
Consuela, Business Coach & Motivational Speaker
@Bringing Out the Best in You
"Sabrina has an amazing way of making things so relatable, whether it's in her posts, an instant message or in person. That's what makes the new entrepreneur feel so connected to her. She doesn't just give the highlight reel, she showcases everything. Her business sense and authenticity will serve so many clients!!"
Jodie, Life & Transformational Coach
@Jodie Owen
"Before speaking with Sabrina, I was really struggling with how to stand out in an over saturated market and how to really begin attracting and connecting with my tribe. I had worked with other marketing strategists before and they just did not deliver on their promise. As such, I had already invested a lot of my time and resources and saw very little return on my investment. Many attempts in the past had failed and I was really struggling financially. During my time with Sabrina I really gained clarity on how I could add value to attract my ideal client and I also got a great deal of clarity over how I could restructure my packages such that I was charging my worth while at the same time really supporting my clients with the best that I had to offer. I just find that whenever I get off a call with Sabrina I feel so inspired and empowered. She puts so much heart and soul into her work and she always over delivers in every way. I would highly recommend Sabrina to anyone who is looking to start a successful and profitable online business. She is a seasoned marketing expert with a full breath of experience in the field. Unlike many others out there in the online community, Sabrina is the real deal. I knew I was in good hands right away!"
Maria, Master Spiritual Healer, Teacher & Writer
@Maria Pallas
"Before working with Sabrina I had a new business that hadn't quite launched officially and was looking for something to feel fulfilling, and for direction. I have now moved from test clients to 2 paying clients, and have a business I'm excited about (and doesn't feel overwhelming). I'm resisting implementing less and less each day, because I have started to see the results. Sabrina always met me where I was at so that it wasn't overwhelming. It's also been helpful to work with Sabrina because of her personality. She showed me that someone who has walked the steps ahead of me, business-wise, doesn't have to be someone who I don't connect with, relate to, or like in a friend-sense. I trust and value Sabrina as a person, and in a business advisory capacity. I proved that investing in myself and my business pays off! I would absolutely recommend working with Sabrina to those seeking help with marketing and how-to knowledge. She's such a badass and I'm so thrilled to have the connection that we do!"

Tag: nursery
As part of our Changes topic, Nursery children enjoyed walks around the fields.
We looked for signs of autumn and winter, talking about the changes we could see in the trees, bushes and ground. We listened to sounds and collected acorns, twigs, different coloured leaves and anything else we could find. We took back the things we found to the classroom, put them on the Light Table to examine them and used some to make beautiful collages. We wonder how things will have changed on our next walk in spring?

I find the Bible to be so fascinating. Non-Christians or general non-believers often scoff at the Bible being accurate or true at all.
It's fascinating how anyone could believe such an amazing work of literature written over 2,000 years ago and compiled by numerous authors all inspired by God can be so easily dismissed.
I am most surprised that some dismiss it when historically there is no doubt a man named Jesus lived and was crucified.
Kris Grimes has accepted the position of worship leader, Alton Baptist Church announced.
Grimes has extensive experience in Christian ministry and church work, the announcement said.
He previously served Alton as minister of youth, a role he began while still a student at Centre College in Danville and in which he continued for five years.
He also was instrumental in helping plant the Centershot archery ministry in churches all across the country.
The Colorado shooting spree that took place last week is one of the saddest and most disturbing things I can imagine.
My heart and my prayers go out to the families that lost loved ones and the still injured.
I often reflect on what kind of a monster this suspect was to apparently commit such a heinous act. It is reminiscient of Columbine or Timothy McVeigh.
Over the weekend I heard comments from others about what they wish they could do to the perpetrator of this evil act.
Alton Christian announces
upcoming events
Alton Christian Church is collecting items for the Galilean Children's Home, according to a news release.
Church members will also be taking a trip to the Galilean Home on July 23.
The church's youth group is studying the Book of Mark.
Church of Christ holds
vacation Bible school
Lawrenceburg Church of Christ will host its vacation Bible school July 22-25 from 7-9 p.m.
"Bible Roundup" will be the theme of the week.
Chance McConnell has accepted the position of director of ministries and education at Alton Baptist Church, and will coordinate the church's programs in outreach, discipleship and missions.
A native of Princeton, McConnell is a recent graduate of Campbellsville University with a degree in pastoral ministries, and will be enrolling in Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in the fall.
Farmdale Baptist offers free clothing,
fresh vegetables
Free clothing will be available for men, women and children July 14 from 9 to 11 a.m. at Farmdale Baptist Church, the church announced.
There will also be a limited supply of fresh vegetables from the church's community garden.
The clothing was donated through the church's Clothes Closet Ministry.
The church is located at 5610 US 127 South, just across the Franklin County line.
Magician to perform
at First Baptist Church
Do you ever really stop and quantify what a loving God we have?
We as humans are inherently filthy and disgusting, regarding sin. We all sin and are born in sin.
Magician to perform
at First Baptist
Magician David Garrard is scheduled to perform at First Baptist Church, located at 111 North Main St., on July 11 at 6 p.m. This is event is free and is open to the public.
New Hope Baptist seeks
VBS volunteers
Volunteers and supplies are needed for vacation Bible school at New Hope Baptist Church, located at 3825 Tyrone Pike in Versailles.
This week I want to revisit the tale of Jonah and the whale.
The story of Jonah, God's prophet, is told by God: "Go to the great city of Ninevah and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me." Jonah 1:2.
Ninevah was the capital of Assyria and very much a hated enemy of Israel. Jonah knew God was capable of forgiving the Ninevites, and this made him not want to do what God commanded.
Freedom Baptist church hosts
Fourth of July celebration
Freedom Baptist Church, located at 1010 Powell Taylor Road, will be hosting a Fourth of July celebration on June 30, starting at 5 p.m.
Event organizers invite the community to "come join us for food, a brief message from Brian Proctor and fireworks at dusk."
Mount Eden Christian to host concert
Mount Eden Christian Church will feature the "Journeymen" during its 11 a.m. service on Sunday, July 1.

Everyone wants to have a unique and memorable costume for Halloween, but when you're running low on time (and money!) it can be difficult to find a fashionable costume. There is no reason you should have to skip out on any Halloween parties this year for lack of a costume, so here are three quick DIY Halloween costumes that are sure to rock your Halloween.
Coco Chanel was one of the most inspirational designers in the world, but her biggest influence on fashion by far would have to be the popularization of the LBD. So, if you are looking to be Chanel for Halloween, a classy black dress is the first place to start (extra points if it's a drop waist dress!). Drape some pearl necklaces over your dress and create a faux-bob under a chic black hat. With your favorite quilted black purse over your shoulder, you're ready to influence the world too, leaving a trail of Chanel No. 5 behind you.
Almost every movie starring Grace Kelly is considered a fashion classic—The Country Girl, The Swan, and Dial M for Murder are just a few. If you want to channel your inner actress or princess for Halloween, take Grace Kelly as your inspiration because she has very memorable outfits you can recreate. With a black leotard, long full skirt, peep-toes and smooth-backed hair, you can look like you just walked out of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. The final step is to accessorize with a pearl necklace and some long white gloves. With a Halloween costume as good as this one, maybe you'll be picked up by a prince too.
The last costume choice has been approved by Queen Elizabeth II. Kate Middleton has stepped into the royal scene with her best fashion foot forward. Since she has so many different A+ looks, it's easy to find pieces from your own closet that allude to her style. Just make sure you don't forget the hat!
Figuring out a great DIY costume can sound scarier than Halloween itself, but with these three easy ideas you're on your way to a Happy Halloween!

On GATTACA and taggants
OK, time for some more old people meandering. When I was a youngster, we sequenced by hand (actually, we also did PCR by hand, but that's really sad). We ran our own gels, called our own bases, the whole 9 yards. The kits we used were a step above doing Maxim-Gilbert sequencing, but compared to today it's still pretty weird.
Now, we have Engines of God that can sequence entire bacterial genomes in a day, and human genomes in weeks or less. What is wild to me is that not just within my lifetime but within my scientific lifetime we've gone from giving a Nobel Prize for the development of sequencing to having so much sequence data that we quite literally don't know what to do with it all.
Clearly, there will come a point at which having your sequence information will be an important adjunct to health care, and we'll have all sorts of privacy battles, yada, yada, yada.
But sequence is more interesting than biology. This, in my opinion, is a key concept. We often think of sequences as coming from biology, but that's not the case. With the parallel revolution in DNA synthesis we can of course make any sequence we want, including massively unnatural sequences with no known counterpart in biology. And with the parallel-parallel revolution in sequence amplification, we have an unholy (or really cool, depending on your point of view) triad: make the sequence, amplify the sequence, acquire the sequence.
We have the ability to label anything we want with a code that scales to the 4th power, and can acquire that code with single molecule resolution. As I have previously predicted, written about, and been fascinated with for a long time, we have the ability to make taggants that can tell us anything about everything.
I originally got interested in taggants because of the OJ Simpson trial (and subsequent, much more legitimate demonstrations that forensics facilities don't always do things right). Oh my, could we really have confused one DNA with another? How can we make sure of the chain of evidence? Obviously by tagging it with non-natural DNA, precontaminating it so that wherever the natural DNA goes so goeth the tagged DNA (although this would not guard against purposeful biological mixups by perpetrators, ala the plot twist in Presumed Innocent).
But now let's expand on that concept. We can tag and follow forensic evidence. What else can we tag? Well, if we let our minds wander the answer is: anything. Any noun: people, places, and things. But more than just nouns, we can tag concepts: the time something occurred, where an event occurred, what interactions have occurred subsequently. Just layer on the DNA, and find it later, again at the single molecule level.
I guess the second time I began to fantasize heavily about taggants was after 9/11. Why didn't we stop Atta? How could we have known? Now, presumably in this day and age the intelligence or homeland security apparatus would work, but as a technologist I'm of course going to hit the problem nail with a tech hammer. If I was into IT, I'd be pushing image analysis, which is quite good and probably less ridiculous than tagging an individual with DNA. Still … if we had known where the terrorists were meeting, and had some way of pre-introducing DNA, then we could let them disperse, let them carry the clues with them, and then had an easy way to pick up and analyze that DNA on the flip side … that would have done it. Not. There are too many slips twixt the DNA and the sequencer in that scenario. Nonetheless, it does set in motion thoughts about when would it be an appropriate tool.
And that was before the Engines of God began churning out their limitless supply of information. Now, now it is not so crazy to imagine that the scene from GATTACA where they vacuum up DNA and just randomly sequence everything in a room, in order to find a 'borrowed ladder,' is very possible. But instead of a borrowed ladder you could now be looking for the sequence evidence of what's been there, where the DNA came from, what interactions have occurred. You're setting up physical networks akin to the Internet, where you look for distribution from nodes, with the packets being DNA rather than electronic (or else you can just laugh at my view of the Internet as being only modestly superior to the now-deceased Senator who thought of it as a bunch of pipes).
Where will this first come to be? Government? Tagging piles of cocaine to look at distribution networks downstream? Tagging counterfeit money to plumb how it traverses economies? Or industry, where technological innovation usually starts? Many products are already tagged with RFID; will it in fact be cheaper to use DNA? I don't know, I've never been a good futurologist, but I believe this is coming, if only because the network analysis required to understand dynamic distribution will be arcane enough (read: alot like modeling epidemics) to be counted as a trade secret by someone along the way.

Relationships can be very hard.
Whether its a romantic one, platonic, a relationship with a relative or close friend, there needs to be a giving nature on both sides in order to promote a strong and lasting bond.
A few years ago I was in a car accident that changed everything. I've watched as my life has been turned upside down with pain, appointments, changes to my body, changes to my mind, and changes with basic human interactions.
Some that have made me stronger.
Some of them broke my heart and left the shattered pieces laying on the floor.
Lately I have been very focused on not letting the idea of tomorrow stop me from enjoying and seizing today. And although I will talk about that at another time, there is something I want to talk about that is perhaps quite negative and sad. But hopefully through writing this I am able to start the healing process and perhaps these things may resonate with you as well.
One of the worst things to happen to me lately has been that I've taken the cruel and mean words of others to heart and it has truly torn me apart. I feel like I'm a horrible friend and that no one could possibly love me because of these things.
That feeling is devastating.
So I have nothing to give, when I wake up in the middle of the night to a nightmare and I'm shaking from the fear.
I have nothing to give when I have walked ten minutes and my back is in spasms and I feel like I'm going to pass out.
I have nothing to give when a random crowd triggers a panic attack and I'm stuck in the ladies washroom for 40 minutes trying to settle my heart rate down.
I have nothing to give when I lay awake until 4 am with a million random questions that won't stop.
I have nothing to give after a "Quick Trip" to the grocery store and I've only put away the groceries for the fridge.
I have nothing left to give after I've spent even an hour in a shopping mall or event that brings crowds of loud people.
I have nothing to give if you don't understand why I'm having another panic attack, and I can't always explain why I have them. Believe me I wish I knew when they were going to happen, and I can't stop them from happening either.
I have nothing left to give after I've spent the day at doctors appointments and tests.
I have nothing left when the doctor once again tells me that I have to lose weight and implies I'm not trying.
I have nothing to give when my time is monopolized by someone who is cruel and who calls me selfish.
I have nothing to give even after a short day at work.
I have nothing to give when I've woken from a panic attack and stepped straight into a nightmare where I see illusions and feel physically attacked.
I have nothing to give when someone has broken my heart for the hundredth time or put me in second place.
I have nothing to give when all I've been doing is giving the wrong person everything.
There are some days where I have absolutely nothing to give.
Those are the days that I stay home, abandon plans, or only stay for a few moments before heading home.
There are days when I feel sick from the pain and I can't bear the thought of seeing judgment or pity in the eyes of a stranger.
There are days where I feel as though my lack of ability is going to be used against me and the simple thought of that reality makes falling asleep again and facing the nightmares somehow more bearable.
This isn't me everyday. I fight for some sort form of normality and I can succeed in it, but there are other days it is honestly a win just to get up and face the sunshine without feeling out of place.
I try every single day to love with all that my heart has to give, to hug a person who might be feeling alone. I try to smile at the people I interact with, to be reliable and constant for the people I call family. I think that kindness can be the bridge between two misunderstood opinions, but please don't assume that I will a doormat.
I've got too much flying for silly things like that.
Every day is a vastly different day and I will continue to fight the good fight, I just some days need to stay home and watch cartoons in order to do so.

I thought my work was done when I made the case that you needed photo blog. Then the questions started coming. Where should we build it?
Quick Recap
In episode 48 of the Shutterbug Life podcast, we discussed why photographers need to have your own blog and website.
In episode 56 of the Shutterbug Life podcast, we talked about the role it plays in creating a platform to tell your story.
In this video, I look at a number of different scenarios and the best blogging platform for each.
You want to show off your photos in a blog format
This is a very simple cloud-based platform. I love that their templates showcase your images very big and beautiful. You can tell that they designed them with photographers in mind.
Squarespace is so easy, you can have your website set up in less than 30 minutes. Don't believe it? Watch me create a website in real time here.
You want to create a website & blog to sell prints & client photos
I recommend Zenfolio or SmugMug Pro.
Both of these options allow you to set up a beautiful website and blog, complete with client galleries. Whether you sell prints or photos to clients, you can sell right from your website. Clients log in and see their images, choose the ones they like and send them out to print. The photos are marked up with your custom pricing and fulfillment completed by a third-party printing service.
You want to sell your services as a full-time professional photographer
PhotoShelter is built to power commercial and editorial photography businesses. In addition to having similar feature sets to the others, they offer complementary services to help promote you to buyers. If your focus is editorial, they help promote and license your photos to buying organizations.
I love their extensive library of free business guides on just about every topic imaginable.
You want the flexibility to do all those things & more
Wordpress powers most of the web's blogs and websites. It is built on an open source platform. You purchase your hosting separately and install the Wordpress. Customize your site with a theme created by any of the countless developers who build options for Wordpress. You can also increase functionality with Plugins for just about any capability.
Be prepared to do some tinkering under the hood. When you mix themes and plugins from different sources, you might need to do some troubleshooting on your own. There is no one customer service window on open source software. You will have to diagnose yourself or get some help from a developer.
You want to show & sell images in galleries
I didn't discuss this on the video, but Pixieset is a great option if you just need to add on a client photo gallery. Let's say you already have a blog or website and don't want to move the whole thing just to offer photos to a client. Use Pixieset as an add on service.

Hey, you! Christy here. I am just SO very glad you stopped by! There are at least a bazillion photos, adventures and projects for you to DIY - so grab a cupppa whatever your vice is, and stay a spell!
"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."

The vacuolar membrane is a flexible membrane that encloses the vacuolar, a fluid-filled organelle within plant cells. This sacs are large organelles that are noted to take up 30 to 90 percent of the total cell volume, and they have several functions within the cell, including storing fluid.
The membrane of the vacuole is referred to as the tonoplast. This membrane is unique among other cellular membranes due to its incredible flexibility. When the vacuole contains only a small amount of fluid, the membrane is small enough to contain this fluid without empty space. When the cell begins to take on water, however, the membrane is able to stretch rapidly to accommodate so much fluid that this single organelle can then take up 95 percent of the cell by volume. During this process, the tonoplast does not lose its integrity or its ability to continue functioning as an active membrane, allowing fluid to move back and forth through it.
The capability of the vacuole membrane to expand so effectively and rapidly allows the organelle to fulfill its function of creating hydrostatic pressure within the cells, providing rigidity to the plant structure. The strength and flexibility of the membrane also permits the organelle to perform the important role of storing nutrients for the plant.

The Phaser 6500 has some good specifications. Genuine Adobe PostScript 3, gigabit Ethernet, 24 PPM. The duty cycle is 4,000 pages per month, which is very low. Toner is expensive. Reviews are somewhat mixed. It should work with FreeBSD, certainly for text. For graphics output, Gutenprint doesn't have a setting specifically for the 6500, but one of the similar printers probably will work. Don't expect photo quality, color lasers have to do halftones. The alternative is a black and white laser (LaserJet 4050, still one of the best all-around lasers, used for $50-$150) and an inkjet for reluctant, eventual, stripy color printing.

Today, I'd like to welcome Paul J. Joseph, author of "Homesick" to The Thursday Interview. Before we get started, a quick intro!
Paul J. Joseph is an independent film maker as well as a story teller through writing. One of his recent films has been featured in the 2010 Ava Gardner Independent Film Festival. He has been teaching mass communication courses at a college level for 20 years, and currently works at a small private university in North Carolina. He lives with his wife Tyreese, his son Ian, a mother in law, and three cats. Paul Joseph's first love has been and always will be science fiction. He looks for ideas that are based on plausible trends in technology, both good and bad. He is particularly interested in space travel and time travel, which can include alternate realities and paradoxes. He tends to avoid fantasy and magic. So, if you are looking for elves and fairies, this is not your guy. On the other hand, ESP and other observable phenomena may well be fair game.
No.1 Would you break the law to save a loved one? .. why?
The answer to that is simple. Some laws are unjust and immoral. If somebody I loved was in danger from a tyrannical government it would actually be my duty to defy such a government. This is actually what the founding principles of America are based on. Any just law could not harm an innocent person. If my loved one was a criminal, however, and needed to be delivered from justice, that would be the only situation I can think of in which I couldn't help them. There is a difference between right and wrong, which are moral concepts, legal and illegal, which can change depending on who is in charge, and, of course, regulations, which are meaningless, but are often used by tyrants to control the common folk. People who helped slaves escape from southern states were actually breaking state laws and even some federal laws, but they rightly felt no moral problem with this. Walking across the street against the traffic light at 2:AM is neither right nor wrong morally, but could be the basis for strict punishment, depending on who is in charge.
No.2 What is the difference between being alive and truly living?
I would say that most people go through life without really experiencing it, for good or bad. We become used to routines and rituals that have no other purpose than to absorb time and insulate ourselves from experiencing life. We don't like boredom so we fill time with things that fill in the spaces between one routine and another. This would now include social media, television, and all manner of other things. In that sense, many people can go days or even weeks at a time without noticing the passage of time. It is only when these routines are disturbed that we begin to actually notice life. Vacations do this sometimes, as do, oddly enough, disasters. Life doesn't have to be pleasant or comfortable to be true. In fact, we may be most alive when we are struggling and miserable, especially if we are accomplishing something. Accomplishment and achievement often make us feel alive, as does adventure, which often involves danger. That is not to say that we can't experience life without danger or suffering, but it may take some effort. Relationships can make us feel alive, as can creative works. Writing makes me feel alive because the act of creating something makes us truly matter. If I didn't exist neither would my stories. Why do so many people go through life without living? Because it's easier not to. Especially in affluent societies we surround ourselves with distractions that insulate us, and we replace true experiences with fantasies and routines. Living takes work, but it's worth it.
No.3 What motivates you to write?
I believe it was Vonnegut who said that an artist can't change the world or make any real difference (I'm paraphrasing here) But an artist can make that canvas or that clay, or that page exactly what it is supposed to be. Writing creates a new world. A novel is a window into someplace else where things can happen that can't or don't happen in this one. The hero can win, the poor guy can become rich, justice can be done. More importantly, as a writer, I need the escape more than the reader does. Not every writer writes the way I do, but I need to finish my novels because I need to know how they end. When Scott Anderson was captured by the aliens on New Ontario I had to know how Sally and Ian would ultimately rescue him and how he would recover from the experience. I had come to know the crew and I felt the fear and helplessness they did. I also surprise myself with my writing all the time.
Characters do things I don't expect them to do, and sometimes things happen that I could never have planned. I just create the conditions and watch what develops. Again, different writers approach writing differently, but I find it to be a kind of playground where I have some influence, but not too much control. I write because it's fun. I also write because it is fulfilling, but mostly because I want to share the experience with my readers. Once I learned to do this I became addicted to the experience. I will never NOT do it even if I never make a dime. It's a way of life, not a job.
No.4 Why do humans want children?
Well, some humans obviously don't want children, but some do more than anything else. I suppose the basic reason is because we don't want to be lonely. We also want to feel that we have some stake in the next generation. But, of course, those are platitudes. The real reason is more basic and cannot really be described easily in words. Having a child is a one-way door. When you are on the outside, you cannot know what it is like or what it is in essence. When you are on the other side, you can never again see the world the way you did before. I never wanted to have a child because I was selfish and self-absorbed. I wanted life to be about me. Fortunately, my wife didn't share that point of view. When I first heard that heartbeat I was transformed into something better, and it only grew from then. I never understood what love really meant until I met my son. Not only would I take a bullet for him, but I'd consider it an honor to do so. People who don't have children couldn't really understand that, but those who do either can or they are very different people than I am.
No.5 What was the biggest challenge in creating your book "Homesick" ?
I will be boring and predictable and say that the greatest challenge in creating my books is in marketing them. Rod Serling once said that writers are notoriously bad verbal tellers of stories. This is particularly true in my case in regard to selling my works to others and, of course, convincing agents, publishers or anybody else for that matter, to read my work. Why should they? I can offer them an experience, but it may not be the one they desire. Can I guarantee that the book will turn a profit? Of course not! That would depend on a huge number of factors, mostly way beyond my control. Also, I can think of many creative works that I consider wonderful that never made money, or at least not much. Talking up my work was never my best skill. Honestly, I just don't think it's appropriate for me to do so in the first place. I'm the writer, of course I like it! If I didn't like it I wouldn't have written it. Even if it's crap I'll probably like it, or at least I'll like what I learned in writing it or how I perceive it to be. But each of my books also has a marketing journey as well as a writing journey.
No.6 What is the most important thing you have learned in life so far?
God is in control. I'm sorry if I'm offending you atheists, but I am convinced that life has order, if nothing else, and that that order is controlled by some highly creative force. In my case, I am a Christian, but I won't even bother to elaborate on that here. Let's just stick to the power of coincidence. Look up the similarities between Lincoln and Kennedy if you want a brief introduction to this idea. History has a flow and a purpose, but that's boring. What's interesting is that our lives do too. When I was in college I had the opportunity to view a controversial film. It was a documentary about a mental hospital. It was so controversial, in fact, that I had to sign a waiver promising that I was either a medical or film student in order to be allowed in. Here's where it gets interesting. While I was watching this film, my girlfriend at the time was being committed to a mental hospital and the very next day I was actually visiting her there. I mean, what are the odds? Life is a long story with plot developments, characters who learn, and highly unexpected changes. Not everything is important, but everything is connected somewhere. I believe writing mirrors this to some degree, and we as writers are also characters under the control of a much better Writer than I will ever be.
No.7 How did you come up with the title "Homesick" ?
Actually, that is a good question. Books have titles like people have names. My books title themselves, or at least they have so far, but I don't always know the title up front. One thing I do know, however, is that I cannot re-title a book. I've tried, it doesn't work. My titles are generally based on the essence of the story, or some significant piece of it. Homesick was named based on the struggle of Scott Anderson, the American astronaut to get home. The essence of the journey, however, is where that home is and what home really means.
No.8 How do you handle personal criticism?
First of all, I would hope that criticism is not personal. Writing is art, and art is subjective. I hate some examples of modern sculpture, for example, but I certainly have nothing against people who make them. I write science fiction. Not everyone likes science fiction, and those who do may not like my particular style. If somebody doesn't like my work because it is not their genre, that would be like not finding a person attractive because they are not their type. No offense. On the other hand, my wife does not like science fiction writing in particular, but she did like Splashdown. Now THAT is a complement! Believe me, she'd tell me if she didn't like it. Aside from this general like or dislike of my work, if somebody suggests something that I can do to improve it, I have one of three possible responses. First, they may be changes I can't make. I can't not write science fiction, for example. I may not be able to change significant aspects of a character either, if in fact that character "wants" to be that way. This kind of criticism may be more political than artistic. For example, I can't insert a sex scene to make a story more marketable if the scene doesn't belong there. Sorry. Secondly, I may encounter criticism I don't agree with. I reserve the right not to take advice. Finally, I may well be inspired by criticism. That happens, too. In short, I'm not perfect and I don't know everything, but I am in the best position possible to know how my story should work. I do listen at least.
No.9 Why should people read your book?
I don't know that people should read Homesick or any other book I have written. On the other hand, I can guarantee that each of my works is an experience. But a reader's time is a precious thing, something that I can never give back to them. I would hope that a potential reader would at least read the first chapter and make up their own mind. But a reader should read my work for the same reason they read any book. They want to laugh, cry, become angry, and perhaps learn something about themselves and think in ways they hadn't before. In short, like any experience, my books will change the reader in some subtle way and become a part of how they perceive the world from then on. If they don't want that experience, I would suggest that they stop at the first sign of dissatisfaction. No, my work is not for everyone.
No.10 Why is there something rather than nothing?
Really? The Greeks couldn't figure this one out, and neither has the entire output of human intellectualism for thousands of years, so I doubt I have much new to add here. That said, I once again go back to God. If there is no God there is nothing. Thermodynamics is all about entropy, which is the flow of energy from complexity to randomness. Like a wound-up clock, the universe is unraveling. That provides the energy for everything we are and everything we do. Eventually, however, it will all wind down. Stars will burn out, galaxies will stretch out into massive, evenly disbursed, clouds of lifeless dust, and there will be nothing. If that is true, then why wait? If I will spend endless centuries and millennia as a handful of cosmic dust and I just happen to be alive in this form for a pathetically few years, then what is the point of anything I do? I might as well die now, what's the difference? Either that or why write? Why do anything but gratify whatever pleasures I can while I'm waiting to die? The answer is that I know there is more to it than that. As a human being with a brain and a personality, I am more than just instinct. The fact that I need to create means that I have the desire to take nothing and make something out of it. Maybe that something won't last forever, but neither will I. And, excuse me, but a good story can last a long time! And if I feel that way, God, who I know must exist, must have created me for some purpose, and I don't believe that purpose is trivial or limited only to my short lifespan. I also firmly believe that we are more than just three-dimensional. Our minds are universes of possibilities going way beyond our simple experiences.
Thank you Paul :)

There Sally and Ian uncover a chilling reality. Something terrible has happened on New Ontario. The evil regime of the Masters have consumed an entire civilization and established an empire of unspeakable barbarism.

A bursa is a small flat cushion-like structure, one to three inches in size, usually found in between a muscle and a bone. It helps provide protection and less friction. It is sometimes thought of as a small fluid filled cushion, but usually it is quite flat, similar to a barely filled plastic bag of water. These are present in many areas of our skeletal system, and are especially famous for causing problems in hips, shoulders, elbows and knees.
Pain will occur when the bursa becomes injured, pinched or inflamed. When the bursa is inflamed, it is called bursitis (the 'itis' refers to something that is inflamed - like appendicitis). When the bursa is inflamed or injured the lining of the bursa produces more fluid and it swells up, causing severe shoulder bursitis.
In the shoulder, the main bursa is under the tip of the collarbone. This may become painful when there are problems in the rotator cuff muscle just under it. Strenuous or repetitive activities may cause inflammation of the bursa in this case. An injury in this area from unusually heavy or sudden stretching of the arm or falling may cause bursitis also. Frequently, activities such as prolonged overhead use of the arm (such as painting or pruning trees) may lead to problems with bursitis. Calcium deposits or 'bone spurs' may develop on the undersurface of the collarbone joint near the point of the shoulder can hang down and rub or pinch the bursa underneath it. If the bursa is pinched by a bone spur in the shoulder it is called impingement syndrome. Sometimes shoulder bursitis is due to a more serious disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis or even infection.
When the shoulder is at rest there is less pain, but it usually will feel painful with raising the arm overhead, to the front or side, or lying on the shoulder at night. Pain may actually be felt most on the side of the upper arm, sometimes down almost to the elbow. The pain may be very sharp if the bursitis is severe.
Along with a history of the shoulder symptoms, an examination using specific motions may suggest severe shoulder bursitis is present. Usually X-rays are done, but because the bursa is made of soft tissue, X-rays or CT scans are often not sufficient. An MRI often shows if bursitis is present.
The treatment of bursitis depends upon how severe the pain is. In general, if pain does not improve with ice and rest, then medical evaluation is a good idea. Physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medications may be tried to reduce pain. If the symptoms do not improve, X-rays, MRI or ultrasound tests may be ordered to make sure rotator cuff is not involved as well.
If you develop shoulder pain with exercise or exertion, please contact your physician as this may be a sign of heart disease.
Various medications may be used to reduce pain. These may include over the counter medications such as Tylenol (generic = acetaminophen) Aleve (generic = naproxen), Motrin (generic = ibuprofen) or aspirin. There are many similar (but stronger) prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications for bursitis such as Celebrex, ibuprofen or naproxyn (NSAIDs) that may help to reduce pain and inflammation; a complete list is available at the reference below.
More severe pain may be treated with injections of cortisone-like medications into the bursa underneath the end of the collarbone . Rarely, arthroscopic surgery may be required to remove the bursa and calcium deposits.

We are rather late with this news but it's still worth sharing. Adventurer Zakie Odendaal, who started her solo SA coastline journey on the 20th September 2016, ended it with aplomb at Ponte do Ouro, Mozambique on the 10th June 2017. Her parents drove more then 1800km to congratulate her and to walk the last 6km with her. They shared a lovely brunch in Ponte do Ouro and that night their celebrations continued around a traditional South African braai. Congratulations Zakie on your incredible journey!
Zakie's adventures continue, she has already completed day 2 of her 7 day journey across Swaziland with Keegan Longuiera They're on a budget of R10-00 per day! We look forward to seeing their photographs and hearing their stories.

Steam can only, only be considered incredibly dangerous.
This shit started because Leviathan: Warships had a commercial so entertaining they made a sequel for the commercial. Is the game any good? Shit, I don't know. I think so. When I divide the amusement I received by ten dollars, the result is infinite.
We're creeping ever closer to an age where Andy Moore's Steambirds is a genre, where people bring more to the game than they borrow. That hasn't always been the case. Leviathan: Warships doesn't have an especially long campaign, and the "co-op campaign" referred to in the trailer is not a campaign of any kind but a few rejiggered single-player maps, which sort of makes me want to coin "Lie-viathan: Distort-ships" but I can't be too mad. A combination of cloud-saving and cross platform play means that, once the iPad version hits, there's an interesting little ecosystem in place. The main thing from a player perspective, the primary addition to the Steambirds ouvre, is that you're actually constructing the ships you use hull by hull and cannon by cannon via a point-buy mechanism familiar to any wargamer. That means that the limited "maps" on paper represent a fairly significant amount of gameplay permutations. If they bolster this with a couple free weapon packs - the catalyst for endless construction and strategy - there's no reason to believe it couldn't become a "thing."
But now you're going into Steam to play your boat game, and you see something called Prime World: Defenders, and you think maybe you might be on sabbatical from tower defense bullshit, but then you see it's from Nival, who is the world's foremost purveyor of games whose breathless enthusiasm makes up for their inexplicable localization. And it's not a TD game, straight-up: the towers are cards (!) which you earn, level, and evolve(!!!) in a limited hand. It comes out in a couple weeks, but you get the a very solid beta now. It's twelve dollars.
Then you see Jack Lumber, and you don't quite know what's up, but you notice that's by Owlchemy Labs who gave you all that great fun Snugglin' and Smugglin' them Trucks. You chop logs, and try not to chop beavers. Sometimes, there's maple syrup. It's like five fucking dollars. I've always got five bucks for that crew.
So, occasionally when you go into Steam you feel like your values are being overwritten by a malevolent alien intellect. And sometimes a cool toy pops out. I don't know if that's a wash.
(CW)TB out.

Doisy and Dam - Superfood Chocolate
Tasty choccy without the incapacitating sense of guilt?
'Doisy and Dam' make superfood chocolate with some unexpected ingredients. They also have a very nice website and packaging that is probably cooler than whatever you are wearing right now.
Out of a gesture straight from the heart, they sent me a box of samples to taste and review with an eclectic mix of bars from across their extensive range.
What's in the box?!
[pullquote align=left] Did you know, the packaging that comes with the chocolate is edible? Or at least Kai claims it is - "packaging wotsits" [/pullquote] Quinoa, smoked tea & vanilla - A 39% milk chocolate. The sweetness of the vanilla complemented by the milky light chocolate but only a faint whiff of smokiness. Quinoa as an added texture is fine. Quinoa is always better to say than to actually eat. KEENWAH. Quinoa is 'the fluffer' - the beige ingredient. The James Milner.
Coffee and sprouted buckwheat. Another milk chocolate. To a coffee drinker the lovely roasted taste isn't strong enough. To those who don't like coffee - it tasted a bit too strong. Maybe this is a gateway chocolate to stronger things. The sprouted buckwheat adds a nice crunch.
Goji and orange. I had to google goji berries. Tangy little fuckers. The flavour in the little blighters cuts through the delicious smooth rich dark chocolate. The best (chocolate) bar none.
Coconut and lacuma - tastes like a posh bounty. Had to Google Lacuma. Accidentally Googled 'Lacuma Matata'. My entire culinary experience of coconut exists almost exclusively from Bounty chocolate bars. The coconut comes through stronger than flavours in other bars.
Where will you find Doisy and Dam?
Trendy coffee shops. Or vendors that sell himalayan pink salt. Or Doisyanddam.com
When should you buy Doisy and Dam chocolates?
1. If you are having a nice coffee and want an accompanying little treat because you deserve it. 2. As a lovely gift for a friend (I assume nice people buy gifts - I can't be sure personally) 3. For dinner parties so you can impress people with your knowledge of Lacuma and Goji berries.

Welcome to the Birbs, and Many Updates!
Greetings, Kitten Academicians!
Thank you all for your patience and for sticking by us though it's been a month since our last post. Taking in such a large and diverse group of kittens as the Trees has certainly been an experience!
We've got a lot of news and information to share - and we've also got over a hundred photos from the latest photoshoot. This is going to be a long post!
Let's start with the new kittens! Mr. A's own mom, in Kansas, fostered three tiny kittens - she gave them a wonderful start and all the care they needed to thrive. She thought they might do best to get adopted if they came to the Kitten Academy to get some extra exposure. They're roughly two months old now. Welcome to The Birbs - because Birbs and Trees go together!
There's many more photos of the three of them in the gallery at the end of the post!
We're told by On Angels' Wings that there are still no applications in for the wonderful Chestnut, Hannah (Banana), Hickory, Juniper, Magnolia, Maple, or Sassafras!
Even if the kitten or cat you wanted has applications in, you can still apply - sometimes things fall through at the last minute; or even after the last minute as with Babaghanoush, who returned to the Academy after his adopter turned out to have a severe allergy!
On that note, we expect Babaghanoush to be picked up by his new adopter on the 11th, and Ginkgo will be joining alumni Kazoo and his family on the 18th! None of the other pending adoptions are scheduled quite yet.
Finally, updates on the health of various kittens: Fig has a minor eye infection, we're treating with antibiotics and some painkillers to keep her happy. The vet suspects that Finch has a bit of a URI - we're treating with continued antibiotics. And of course, the best news, when Eucalyptus was in for her spay, the vet found and removed a large nasopharyngeal polyp, which seems to have solved all her breathing issues! She's still on antibiotics for a while while she heals up from the surgery. Finally, we were keeping an eye on Buckeye's weight, but it seems as though he's already on the rebound and showing great gains!
[Edited: We meant to also apologize here for being so far behind on e-mails. We'll get caught up soon!]
Here's the giant gallery of photos, as promised!

SHANGHAI--Stock investors rushed to buy shares of China's Neway Valve (Suzhou) on Friday on its trading debut--sending the issue up more than 30% and resulting in a 30-minute cooling-off period.
After resuming trade the shares continued rising and were last up 33% at 23.45 yuan ($3.87).
Pent-up demand from investors after a more than yearlong freeze on initial public offerings was released on the industrial-valve manufacturer as it become the first company to have a stock debut since Zhejiang Shibao in November 2012.
Neway's strong debut was because of investor enthusiasm for new shares after such a long wait, analysts said.
Neway shares were suspended from trading a few minutes after the opening after rising 32% from their 17.66 yuan IPO price to 23.31 yuan.
Thirty-minute trading halts are imposed if debut shares rise or fall more than 10% from their opening level. The first-day rise or fall of a new stock is limited to 44% of its IPO price.
"While Neway's earnings growth is unlikely to be brilliant as the country shifts away from an investment-driven economic growth model as the first debut it's still a favorite of investors--especially those short-term investors," Guosen Securities analyst Yan Li said.
Neway raised 1.46 billion yuan ($241 million) selling 82.5 million shares. The IPO price was 46.47 times 2012 earnings, the company said. The price-to-earnings multiple was 37% above the average of comparable listed companies at 33.85 times.
Underwriter China Securities Co. valued its shares between 14.86 yuan and 18.57 yuan a share.
China imposed the moratorium on IPOs because confidence in stock markets had been eroded as a result of badly priced issues which often surged on trading debuts and performing worse than the broader index.
The moratorium was lifted late last year and around 50 companies are now looking to raise funds.

Something sweet, tropical and fun, sprinkled with cringe-worthy coming-of-age awkwardities and challenges. There I go making up words again.
Donald J. Carey's novel, BUMPY LANDINGS. I met Don, after already being Twitter friends, at The Book Academy writers conference back in October and it turned out we attended most of the same classes, AND we were both new authors expecting our first books out soon. I am pleased to be part of Don's blog tour and am happy to review his book.
I immediately felt compassion for Jordan MacDonald, the main character, as he is just trying so hard to be a man, to do the right thing, to follow his heart. But obstacle after big Hawaiian obstacle is clonked in his way. To build up his courage, Jordan tells himself he's changed because of his mission, that he's a man now. And then he goes and does very naive and sweetly sophomoric things. Often with disastrous results. What makes him loveable is his heart is always in the right place, despite his over-bearing, exasperating mother, a rather large bully, and a surprise girlfriend who, after all the making out, has no interest in Jordan's dreams. I wanted Jordan to succeed.
Jordan dreams of flying. And figuring a way to make Kehau, the lovely elusive Hawaiian girl, fall in love, real love, with him. Watching Jordan deal with blow after blow, hitting some hard life lessons, was a pleasure, because I got to see him grow, bit by bit. It was a bonus, to watch him grow in the lush surroundings of the Hawaiian Islands. The author does not leave the reader wanting in scenery, and I was submerged in sights, sounds, and scents. And tastes!
One of the dishes mentioned several times in the story is panipopo. I asked Don for the RECIPE and today I made panipopo. I was in desperate need of Island music. I hummed the Hukilau song. I also took some pictures.
|Pouring the coconut pudding over the raised rolls.
|Baked to bubbly perfection.
|The 12 year old couldn't wait. This was right out of the oven.
|I didn't even ask how many the 15 year old ate. They were a hit with everyone!
It was a lovely vacation, Don! Thank you!

Joanna & Glen
"Adam was what I called my "guardian angel" on our wedding day. Not only did he take the most amazing photos, catching some beautiful, natural moments of my family and friends, but he looked after me throughout Anything we discovered we needed he had it, from sun cream to hair grips! When my younger cousin suddenly passed a couple of months later he was so supportive and kind in providing some lovely photos of him and even cropping one for us to use. Adam helped make our day special in every way."
Miss Joanna Merchant
"Adam has the ability to make you felt extremely relaxed and conducts himself as a professional, he interacts with guests and has a laugh too. Adam is more than a photographer, he offers advice and of course has a large bag of backup supplies in, eye liner etc. His pre-wedding idea shoot is excellent and offers the advice of how to pose and make sure your ready. He ultimately gets you relaxed and produces the most amazing, natural photographs whilst being a delight in doing so."

Not to be confused with the Nutrona Blaster released later in the Kenner line.
Nutrona Blaster an toy weapon which would have been part of Kenners The Real Ghostbusters Toy Line. It was revealed to have been planned to a degree in Kenner Toy Fair Catalog for 1987. Reason for it being cancelled is not known.
Toy Descriptions
Nutrona Blaster
with target/sensor
and belt
and The Real Ghostbusters logo/ Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Overlay
Promotional Description
Description from Kenner Toy Fair Catalog 1987:
With The Real Ghostbusters Nutrona Blaster Laser Light Weapon, a child can pretend to be a member of The Real Ghostbusters team, either alone or with friends! The set includes an infrared weapon, target/sensor, belt and a reversible overlay which can be placed on the face of the target/sensor. One side of the overlay is The Real Ghostbusters logo, the other side is the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, so that a child "becomes" one of The Real Ghostbusters team or the ghost.
The target/sensor can be set up across the room, up to 80 feet, so that a child can practice shooting alone. The eyes of the target overlay blink red so the children know when to shoot. Each hit is registered on the target and after the sixth hit, the target sounds off letting them know that they're a winner! For bigger challenge, an child can team up with friends. One child chooses to be the ghost, the others, The Real Ghostbusters, to create their own ghostchasing adventures.
Requires 6 "AA" and 1-9 volt batteries not included. Ages 4 and up.
