Have you decided which MACRA participation option your practice will choose in the 2017 transition year? What you choose now (and how you implement that choice) determines your payment adjustment for Medicare Part B billings in 2019 and beyond.
Oh yes, the election. As you have undoubtedly heard, the President-elect has promised to do away with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It is still unclear whether Congress will act to completely repeal the ACA or, more likely, strip it or defund parts of it that are unpopular. That said, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) is a separate piece of legislation, passed with bipartisan support, and though it will evolve, there is no indication as of now that it will be significantly changed or repealed. That means that January 1, 2017 still marks the beginning of its implementation.
Medicare clinicians have two options for participation in the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA):
Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), and
Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs).
We'll cover both of those options in detail in this MACRA series, starting with this post on MIPS.
(Click here to get our series of MACRA-related analysis articles delivered right to your inbox.)
CMS projects between 592,000 and 642,000 physicians will submit data to MIPS in 2017. If you are considering the MIPS option of MACRA, this article highlights the most important information and considerations for your practice.
How is MIPS Different Than Existing Quality Reporting and Payment Programs?
Well, there is some disagreement on that point. In many ways, it is the same--the Quality Payment Program (QPP) requires reporting similar to that already in place for existing programs like the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), Meaningful Use, and the Physician Value-Based Payment Modifier (VM).
CMS calls this "streamlining", meaning that all of these programs are now part of a single larger program. It may be streamlined from a government perspective, but it still requires collection and reporting of multiple categories of quality metrics, which doesn't result in "less work" for clinicians.
In other ways, it is quite different--adding a new reporting category and using consolidated scoring across categories of reporting to determine a single score affecting Medicare Part B payments. And unless you choose the Advanced APM route, unlike existing Quality Reporting programs, you CANNOT opt out.
Physician Participation under MIPS
MIPS allows clinicians to earn a performance-based payment adjustment for Medicare billings. Remember from our first article in this MACRA series that eligible clinicians are those with Medicare Part B billings of more than $30,000 annually and those seeing more than 100 Medicare patients per year.
An eligible clinician is identified as a:
Physician assistant
Nurse practitioner
Clinical nurse specialist
Certified registered nurse anesthetist
Note: Clinicians who enroll in Medicare for the first time in 2017 are exempt from reporting on measures and activities for MIPS until the following performance year.
CMS projects that 90% of eligible clinicians will choose the MIPS option for MACRA.
Performance Criteria for Reimbursement
In 2017, Medicare Part B reimbursement will be based on performance in three categories*:
Improvement Activities
Advancing Care Information
*Starting in 2018, there will be an additional category—Cost.
Clinicians provide data to the Quality Payment Program (QPP) in the above categories. Based on a clinician's (or their group's) performance, he or she is eligible for a negative, neutral, or positive performance-based payment adjustment.
Category 1: Quality
This category replaces the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS). Participants (excluding groups using the web interface) will select up to 6 quality measures, including an outcome measure, for reporting of at least 90 days in 2017. (Click here to see the available quality measures.)
Groups using the web interface are required to report up to 15 quality measures for the full year.
Note: Positive adjustments are based on the performance data on the performance information submitted, not the amount of information or length of time submitted.
Category 2: Clinical Improvement Activities
This is a new category. Most participants must verify they have completed at least 4 improvement activities for a minimum of 90 days. Examples of these activities to advance practices would be care coordination and safety checklists. (Click here to see the available Clinical Improvement Activities measures.)
For rural or health professional shortage areas or groups of fewer than 15 participants, the requirement is only 2 improvement activities for a minimum of 90 days.
Category 3: Advancing Care Information
This category replaces the Medicare EHR Incentive Program, also known as Meaningful Use. It is also the only category that comes with a bonus option.
Participants are required to report on these 5 measures** for a minimum of 90 days:
Security Risk Analysis
Provide Patient Access
Send Summary of Care
Request/Accept Summary of Care
Bonus option #1: Submit up to 9 measures for a minimum of 90 days for additional credit. (Click here to see the available Advancing Care Information measures.)
Bonus option #2: Report Public Health and Clinical Data Registry Measures and use Certified EHR technology to complete certain activities in the Improvement Activities Category.
**If these measures do not apply to you, you may not have to submit this information.
Category 4: Cost (begins in 2018)
This category replaces the Physician Value-Based Payment Modifier (VM), but will not be factored into the MIPS score for 2017.
Reporting Options for 2017
Because 2017 is considered a transitional year for MACRA, eligible clinicians who choose the MIPS track have four reporting options. Depending on the data you choose to submit, your 2019 Medicare payments will be adjusted up, down, or remain neutral.
Option #1: Don't submit any data for 2017.
This automatically results in a negative 4% payment adjustment in 2019.
Option #2: Submit some information on one quality category for 2017.
This "testing of the waters" option means you avoid a negative payment adjustment for 2019.
Option #3: Submit at least 90 days of data for 2017.
This requires submission of full data beginning no later than October 2, 2017 to meet the requirement. Participants in this option may earn a neutral or small positive payment adjustment for 2019.
Option #4: Submit a full year of data for 2017.
Complying with the full program during this transitional year may result in a moderate positive payment adjustment in 2019.
**For all reporting options, data is due on March 31, 2018**
Curious what future potential adjustments look like with MIPS? This is how the program impacts your Medicare reimbursement over time.
2019: +/- 4% payment adjustment
2020: +/- 5% payment adjustment
2021: +/- 7% payment adjustment
2022: +/- 9% payment adjustment

As New Jersey's economy and housing market struggled to recover from the recession in 2013, property owners filed a near-record of more than 100,000 tax appeals, winning an average reduction of $40,093 in assessed valuation and a proportionate tax cut.
The volume of tax appeals last year was second only to 2012, when property owners filed 116,000 appeals -- the highest number since at least 1990 -- that led to a total value reduction of $4.7 billion, or 10 percent of the original assessed value of the properties appealed, which amounted to $40,173 on average.
In at least some parts of the state, however, tax appeals have dropped considerably in 2014.
Last year's 105,844 appeals led to a $4.2 billion reduction in assessed property values, or 9.7 percent. There were about 87,000 appeals in 2011, the third-largest amount since 1990, with $3.8 billion in reduced value.
In contrast, there were fewer than 20,000 appeals each year between 2001 and 2005.
The $44 billion in assessments appealed in 2013 represented about 5 percent of the total value of taxable land in the state -- $971 trillion.
With the improvement in the housing market, some county tax officials reported they have had fewer appeals this year than in 2012 or 2013.
"It's always a function of the market," said Don Kenny, the Hudson County tax administrator. The number of appeals filed this year was about 6,800, compared with almost 8,300 last year, he said. "Over the last five years, our tax base has gone down a bit, not a huge reduction, and always offset by new development."
The number of appeals this year also dropped in Atlantic County, from nearly 14,000 in 2013, the most of any county in the state, to just under 9,000, said Keith Szendrey, assistant to the Atlantic County tax administrator. In both years, about 4,000 appeals in Atlantic City alone have driven the number countywide.
"Atlantic City was revalued at the top of the market so typically the values there are high," Szendrey said. The city is looking to do another revaluation to try to correct those overly high assessments "in recognition that it has given away substantial settlements because of the appeals."
This year's appeals, typically due by April 1, are only now making their way through the system. Roughly half are settled by municipal tax officials without a hearing. County tax boards meet to resolve the rest.
A successful appeal helps an individual home owner pay less in property taxes, but can have a negative effect on a municipality's tax base and lead to a higher tax rate -- and, thus, higher tax bill -- unless offset by additional development or higher assessments elsewhere.

Jon & the Wolf is done!!! Massive THANK YOU to everyone who supported the project including all the amazing indiegogo supporters. And huge THANK YOU to all the Cast & Crew for your incredible hard work which made this film come to life.
Creating a film, short or feature-length, requires an incredible amount of support and no film can be done alone. One of the best things about filmmaking is that you get to work with a variety of talented people at each stage of the film, from writing, to funding and pre-production, to production and then post-production. At each stage, it requires talented people and hard work to bring it along. I appreciate everyone who helped bring Jon & the Wolf to life.
The film is currently being submitted to film festivals. Stay tuned for updates and local Los Angeles screenings

We are excited to open our brewery tasting room for the first time Sunday, Dec. 18th, from noon to 7pm! With the opening, we will also be releasing Saison du Fermier from a Missouri Oak Foedre, "Foedre Fermier" for short.
As with all of our releases, we have always loved the bottle sharing, the camaraderie and all of the other things that make our industry so inviting and fun. I love bottle shares, just haven't had a lot of time to partake in any in a while.
However, with our first release, we ask you to refrain from bottle sharing before we open. With the new place, the new release setup, the new flow of business, it would be easier on us and everyone if we hold off on starting up the bottle shares until a later release date. We didn't reserve any extra outdoor restrooms, I haven't had a chance to figure out where to set tables for sharing and also, it is supposed to be dangerously cold Sunday morning. We ask you to please be careful and to respect our wishes to not bottle share at this release.
We expect our parking lot to fill quickly, so please look for additional parking on the public streets and also at the large Maplewood parking lot located a block from our brewery at 7373 Marietta Ave.
Thank you for your continued support, your love of our beers and for your understanding as we start this next chapter of Side Project Brewing…

Firstly, don't automatically assume they want to break-up with you. When someone's behavior shifts in a relationship, it shows that something is off, and it needs to be identified, worked-through, and discussed.
Get honest. If things have deteriorated, you have nothing to lose by getting things out in the open (which is most likely what should have been done long before this time).
Get involved. If one or both of you have dropped back, reverse your course. Get your minds and efforts back in your relationship. Sometimes a close-call of breaking up is just the thing a relationship needs to wake everyone up.
Say what you need. If you (or they) are dissatisfied with how things are going, talk about it. They can't read your mind. The only way to get things better is to tell them directly and explain why you are unhappy. From there, both need to put their efforts towards each other to reestablish the connection.
Bottom line: If you are noticing things that are off in your relationship, don't just wait for them to bring it up for fix it. Take action.

Where is it? Near Wellington & Telford
In which area of outstanding natural beauty? Shropshire Hills
How tall is it? 1,335 feet (approx)
Write Up
This is a truly wonderful hill.
I am sure that there will be a lot of diferent ways up 'The Wrekin' (pronounced reekin) we took the road which is pretty much straight off the M54 at junction seven. There is a car park there and some space for roadside parking, as we were parked 500 yards away at the Buckatree we had these additional yards in order to warm up – we had just driven almost 100 miles and desparately needed to stretch our legs, The Wrekin gave us both plenty of opportunities for that!
The initial 250 yards – give or take a yard or ten, are absolute killers. No point on Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough or Pendle Hill is as steep as this first vertical onslaught. We had numerous "catch-your-breath" breaks and I cursed my now apparent lack of fitness. And after a 50 (or so) yards remission, it hit us again. Yes this is definately one of those hills where the first stage is far harder than the rest of the walk. We persevered, and pretty soon began to take notice of the fact that most other people around us were also struggling and that people whom had overtaken us at one point were now being caught up by us – this is indeed rare.
One downside about walking The Wrekin is that on the route which we took the scenery was; how could I say this without being derogatory? – Boring! Trees, trees and a few more trees – oh and a wooden shack with cables going into it. Yes, I can definately say that if you are doing this walk on your own then take a personal stereo with you, if you're with a partner then you will have plenty of chances to gasp at each other. There is the odd oddity to catch one's attention, providing you are sure about where you are headed.
Once the treeline is left behind and the views open up they really open up. There are outstanding views in all directions for as far as the eyes could see, I thought that I could see Winter Hill mast but am prepared to admit to being mistaken. I only wished that I had known the names for the other distant hills, there is a viewpoint at the top of The Wrekin but this was being hogged by four locals – until they were shooed away in an almost comical manner by a lady dressed in a blue top who's every footstep had inspired us to get fitter quickly!
There are various stone types that make up the paths on the way up and as this was also our way down it meant that I had to take care – as we all know I descend hillsides like a rhino on stilts and the fact that sandstone had been used on at least some of the path meant for a 'careful' descent. For a change this was considerably quicker than the ascent. All told, it took us one hour and fifty five minutes to get from The Buckatree – up The Wrekin and back down to The Buckatree and although we are certainly not walkers who are driven by speed, this did impress us if only slightly.

Surrounded by hype and publicity I am sure you are all now more than aware that .XXX domains are available for registration.
As of early December 2011 .XXX domains have been on "general sale" and with this release many businesses have been left pondering whether or not they should be buying this version of their domain.
Safeguarding your brand online has never been more important so should everyone be rushing to buy up their .XXX domain?
ICANN's main intention behind the .XXX domain extension was to protect children and help parents police their usage while organising pornography on the Web.
If you go to an .XXX domain – you know what you're going to find.
It was expected that adult sites would snap these up, but reports are suggesting that a large number of adult companies simply haven't bothered to take up the new domain.
This has all led to questions being asked as to whether this is nothing more than a huge money making stunt.
Back in September 2011, trademarked businesses and celebrities were given a 50-day window to pay to have their names excluded and protected from any potential purchase. This involved paying a fee between $150 and $300 for the privilege.
This was known as the "Sunset Period". But just how many companies took advantage of this? Well we know big names like Sony and Coca cola certainly took part as did the Boy and Girl Scouts. More than 4,000 celebrity names have their names automatically removed including the likes of David Cameron and actress Angelina Jolie.
However despite some big names taking part was this true of all the big players?
Elie Bursztein has written an excellent post on his findings after studying the top 50,000 online companies:
Porn domain not that sexy: no rush to have .xxx
Elie found that only 24% of the 50,000 have registered their domain.
So it appears that the big players aren't initially worrying too much about the possibility of having their good name used with a .XXX domain extension.
This is no doubt backed up with the knowledge that anyone "squatting" the .XXX version of a big company would no doubt find themselves contacted by a team of lawyers ready to throw the book at them.
But what about the smaller companies?
Do You Need To Buy One?
It was reported in December that a number of colleges and museums in America had brought up their names to prevent adult sites from snapping up .XXX versions. They were so worried about this happening that they paid around $200 to safeguard their name for a decade.
The California State college system spent $1,200 on six .XXX domains despite budget worries.
But are they right to be worried?
Kansas University has already expressed regret after spending $3,000 to safeguard related names. And going on the uptake of these domains you can understand why they may now be slightly disillusioned.
With such a small take up the panic has clearly not materialised and I think there is good reason for this.
Basically I don't think there is anything to worry about.
It's always been advised that to protect your brand name you should own all domain extensions for your sites name.
However the sheer panic that someone may use your sites domain name to create an adult site has lead to a huge over reaction. I think you have to be sensible about this. If you own a Butchers shop, www.familybutchers.co.uk for example, what are the chances of someone using this domain name to set up an adult site under this name?
Moreover, what are the chances of someone entering such a URL to find adult material?
As mentioned earlier, the adult industry itself hasn't been jumping to grab these domains so what are the chances of them now snapping up random company names?
OK bigger companies may be more at risk, but the smaller companies realistically shouldn't be under any threat.
Typing in a URL is a conscious thing. No one is going to accidentally type in .XXX especially if they are looking for something completely unrelated.
So do you need to buy one? Personally I would say no, unless you are a global brand or have the resources to easily cover the inevitable costs; of course, there are no guarantees in life and you may find $100 a year a very small price to pay for peace of mind.
It's a big shout to say that this is nothing more than a huge money making scheme but with the initial uptake so small it's hard to think anything less. There appears to be only one winner: ICANN.

Gregg Perkins - Cannon Falls, 2010
b/w 16 mm
Cannon Falls (2010) depicts a Midwestern family—including singer/songwriter Wendy Lewis, head Pachyderm audio engineer Brent Sigmeth, and their daughters Hannah and Kitty—recording a song at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. The narrative is primarily centered on the recording of Wendy Lewis' song entitled "This Night," but the film is as much a meditation on the city of Cannon Falls, Pachyderm studio as a historic recording venue, and the Midwestern landscape in which the studio is located.

Atlantic News, Friday, September 22, 2006
[The following article is courtesy of Atlantic News]
HAMPTON -- The Hampton fire department has a new weapon in its arsenal for fighting fires.
On Monday, the department took delivery of its new aerial ladder truck.
The vehicle features a 105-foot rear-mounted steel aerial ladder with a full complement of portable ground ladders. The new truck also boasts a 10-kilowatt hydraulic generator for additional lighting capabilities, a Detroit 470 hp engine, independent front suspension, advanced electronics, and ample compartments for equipment storage.
Pierce trucks also feature side rollover, front tire blowout, and a 45-degree cramp angle steering system for tight maneuvering around Hampton Beach.
The new rig replaces the 26-year-old Maxim 90-foot ladder truck, which was in poor condition and did not meet safety standards.
Because of the town's solid support in March at the polls, Hampton Fire Chief Hank Lipe was able to get a new 2006 truck purchased at 2005 pricing levels with a very expedient delivery time.
"The residents of Hampton welcomed to stop by and inspect the town's newest asset," said Chief Lipe. "We should all feel very proud about our new aerial ladder truck. It's a real beauty and will provide the taxpayers and firefighters with many years of service."
The new truck was approved by the Hampton voters last March and was manufactured by Pierce Manufacturing of Appleton, Wisconsin. The vehicle, purchased at a cost of $605,624.12, will be housed at the uptown fire station on Winnacunnet Road.

I'm somewhat ashamed to say I'm having a complete blast playing a Flash game called StarBaron I found a couple weeks ago. It's all over the Net, but here's a link to it on Kongregate.
It's like intergalactic Risk, but with even more depth. The galaxy has planets of different sizes (bigger means more powerful), and you have spaceships. You take over planets, and try to kill the AI. Sounds simple, right? Not so fast.
Planets have orbits which they defend. If you send 20 ships through the orbit of a planet, maybe only 15 get through. This means that proximity is important — you can't just attack a planet all the way on the other side of the galaxy as your armada would get chewed to shreds on the way. You have to leapfrog from planet to planet.
Additionally, attacking a planet from multiple sides give you a bonus (presumably because the planet would have to split its defenses). This means that to conquer Planet A, you may need to take B and C on the other sides of it.
Planets are also specified types.
- Normal planets do everything with average skill.
- Defensive planets have killer satellites in their orbits.
- Economy planets enable you to have more ships.
- Rocket planets shoot other planets and weaken them.
- Minefields attack anything in their ever-expanding orbit.
- Naval planets make ships faster than other planets.
- Fighter bases defend other planets. Etc.
Specific planet combinations become important. Two planets of good size right next to each other are handy — make one a rocket planet, and the other defensive. A bigger planet in the midst of many others is a great spot for a fighter base. You learn to scan a new map in a hurry to pick out the really strategic positions, then race to get there first.
Towards the end of the game, when the AI is boned and it's just a matter of time, it gets really interesting. Based on the planet configuration it's defending, it can be really tricky to root him out. It's like a puzzle — you find yourself setting up a line of dominoes.
If I get a rocket shot at Planet A, that will reduce his orbit so I can rush Planet B. Then from Planet B, I can attack along with C, which, given their surrounding positions, should be enough to take out A.
Only one time has the AI locked itself in so tight that I couldn't get it out. I tried for a solid hour. The AI couldn't move out of the corner, but there was just no way to beat it.
The combination of all this an absolutely engrossing experience. Re-playability is ver high. There's a Campaign version with a storyline that was a little weak. But the Challenge and Skirmish modes are excellent. Take the Tutorial before you try anything else.
StarBaron has the makings of one of the classic strategy games, it really does. It has the perfect balance of simplicity and depth, which is really hard to achieve.
I just killed your productivity. You'll thank me later.

Sam Roxas-Chua 姚 (Yao) is a poet and multi-disciplinary artist from Eugene, Oregon. He has been described as a man who can seemingly take any kind of physical materials and transform them into art, his writings have been called tidal and full of magical realism. Poet Dorianne Laux says, Like Jack Gilbert before him, Roxas-Chua reaches beyond the imagery and emotions we expect—creating his own universe, logic, and definitions of the beautiful.
His publications include Fawn Language (Tebot Bach, 2013), Saying Your Name Three Times Underwater (Lithic Press, 2017), and Echolalia In Script – A Collection of Asemic Writing (Orison Books, 2017). His poems and visual art folios have appeared in various journals including Narrative, december Magazine, Cream City Review, and basalt Magazine; his collection of poems, Diary of Collected Summers, won the first-place award in the 7th Annual Missouri Review Audio Competition in poetry. Sam has received four Pushcart nominations and has been invited to read at local government events and for the Oregon State Legislature. In early 2017 he appeared in a live broadcast of Dear Sugar Radio at the Aladdin Theater in support of #writeourdemocracy/ #writersresist. He is the owner of The Poetry Loft, a small business dedicated to community writing workshops. He holds an MFA from Pacific University.

The average adult body loses about three and a half quarts daily in perspiration, respiration, urination and defecation. Body temperature is regulated through water. Water makes up 92% of the blood of the body and nearly 98% of intestinal, gastric, salivary and pancreatic juices. Water holds all nutritive factors in solution and acts as a transportation medium of these substances. Water is necessary for proper digestion of food.
One of the most important functions of water is to flush toxins from the body. The body holds onto water to dilute toxins so the only way to lose water weight is to stop eating the foods that are poisons to the body.Some people are holding up to 15 pounds of weight just in water! This leaves you looking puffy, bloated and swollen. Remember…the solution to pollution is dilution and this is why water and weight loss are so closely connected.
In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. Even mild dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied. Lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
Are you drinking the right amount of water you should every day? Here's an easy way to figure the proper daily amount. Take your body weight and divide it in two (150lbs. = 75lbs.) then change the pounds toounces, (75lbs. = 75oz.). This is how much water you should drink a day to maintain proper hydration. Be sure to increase your water intake slowly, or you will spend a great deal of time in the bathroom.
Water Affirmation
*Water refreshes and replenishes me.
*Water helps me maintain my good health and vibrant skin.
*I love water.
*I love drinking water.
*I drink enough water each day.

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans" - Proverbs 16:3 (NIV) What is God's plan for me in retirement? It's a valid question that requires prayer and some homework. More than 40 members of Iowa District West congregations attended a retirement workshop in order to become better informed of the financial and Lutheran resources available to them when they retire.
The workshop was sponsored by Lutheran Church Extension Fund Iowa District West and held at the Boulders Conference Center in Denison, Iowa on September 17, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. The meal was free and various speakers touched on topics such as "Retirement: Bracing for Financial Impact," "Preparing for Emotional Impact," "Preparing for Post-Retirement: Preamble & Estate Planning," and LCEF Iowa Districts Vice President Carole White presented "Investment Options Before, During and After Retirement."
"It was a good workshop," said White. "A wealth of knowledge was shared by all the speakers. We had a nice attendance and very positive responses to the event." Personal LCEF investment information is available at lcef.org.

High School Sports
NC High School Athletic Association urges state schools to help with Hurricane Matthew Relief
Hurricane Matthew mostly brought heavy rain to the Charlotte area, but it was devastating in some eastern parts of the state.
At least 26 people have died because of the storm, according to the Associated Press, and flooding has caused about $1.5 billion in damages to more than 100,000 homes, businesses and government buildings.
Schools are also being affected, and the N.C. High School Athletic Association wants to help with relief efforts. NCHSAA commissioner Que Tucker and the NCHSAA Board of Directors has named Friday as "Hurricane Matthew Relief Assistance Night" at all NCHSAA football contests.
The association is asking member schools to collect money towards hurricane relief at Friday's games and to forward to the NCHSAA. All money will be sent to local education agencies in counties designated as disaster areas and were federally approved for individual assistance.
The NCHSAA board will match funds up to $20,000 that local schools collect. An additional relief night has been scheduled during basketball games on Friday, Dec. 16. The board will match funds raised up to $20,000 on Dec. 16th as well.
"With so much devastation across eastern North Carolina, we began thinking about what might be possible to directly help our schools that have been affected," Tucker said. "We remembered Hurricane Floyd and that we collected money at Regional Meetings, with the NCHSAA supplying a match in that case as well. Once again, we want to get our school communities involved to help our member schools and systems recover from this wide-spread disaster."
Schools who wish to participate are asked to email the NCHSAA's James Alverson at firstname.lastname@example.com with details of the game, kickoff and opponent along with any special details about how a school plans to participate. Information sent will be posted to the NCHSAA website detailing the effort.
"Great things are possible when we all work together," Tucker said. "This is a service opportunity for our membership and we must rally around those who have been devastated by this historic flooding in eastern North Carolina."

*~CLOSED~* It's WINGSANITY at St. Louis Bar and Grill
Alright, let's get this out of the way first: I've been pronouncing this place's name wrong. It's St. Loo-iss, not St. Loo-ee's. Oops, my bad. Hopefully the fact that I legit love their wings makes up for the mistake I've been making all these years.
Now that I think about it, St. Louis Bar and Grill has been a pretty important part of my life for ages. When I first moved to Toronto, it was a place of comfort (and wings and beer) where I sat as I lamented needing to find an apartment. Many years later, it was the place where Ryan and I sat eating wings and drinking beer shortly after our wedding, and decided to try to have a baby. I mean, not try right then and there, that would be weird. But you know, at home. At some point.
Anyhow, I'm off track here.
It's WINGSANITY time at all 49 (holy cow!) St. Louis Bar and Grill locations, which means for the 3rd year in a row, you can eat ALL YOU CAN EAT WINGS (in 25 different sauces!) for just $19.99. Stop by your local St. Louis until June 5, 2016 and stuff yourself with wings AND get a $10 gift card for your next visit. AND enter to win free wings for a year. Tell me that's not a crazy deal. You can't. Because it is wingsane.
You can even join them on May 29 at Yonge Dundas Square to take part in their Wingsanity Festival.
I'm giving away two coupons for One Pound of Wings & Fries to one lucky winner, so be sure to enter!

I could eat 2lbs if I never had to worry about my calories LOL
Scott MacMillan
A few pounds.40-50 large ones.
Amy Heffernan
About 6 🙂 Thanks!
Due to protein restrictions I can only eat about 5 wings, but my husband makes up for it! I'm pretty sure he could eat 40!
Stephanie LaPlante
5 myself but the men in my life eat a lot more
That will depend on how hungry I am 🙂 But 10 – easily.
Heidi c.
I can eat 4 or 5 wings.
Lindsay T
I can probably eat 2lbs of wings! Hubby & I normally split 3lbs though.
I could eat probably 2-2.5 lbs
the most i have eaten is 80 suicides

Aging, Skincare and Hormones (pt 3)
Part one is here and part 2 is here! I'm glad I started doing this again, it's nice to go back and see what's worked for me overtime and what I gave up. My skin has gone through so much changing and catering to my skin care is one of the best things I've done. I was in Nashville for a few months in the late winter and there were days that were under 20 degrees and the next day, it was a sunny 70 degrees. The ups and downs of the temperature, plus pregnancy hormones have made me change my whole routine and here are my current favorites. As usual, don't take my advice, go see your local dermatologist. I'm a licensed cosmetologist but that doesn't make me an expert on your skin, just mine!
Mario Badescu Facial Spray is my favorite multi-tasker. It sets my makeup, cools my skin during a hot day, preps my skin before my skin care routine. Plus it smells like rose water, if you spray it on your body after a shower, the subtle stays with you throughout the day.
I discovered Youth To The People from Ashley. It's a natural-skincare based company out of California. She sent me this bottle back in March as a birthday gift and it really is the gift that keeps on giving. A little goes a long way, I'm not even halfway through it! I love how it takes off all my makeup (even my eye makeup) and it's concentrated. For days when I little bit more moisture, I still go back to Laura Mercier's cleanser but YTTP has been my daily go-to.
I loved the YTTP cleanser so much, I wanted to try their serum and moisturizer. They both contain hyaluronic acid with natural ingredients like kale and spinach. Pregnancy brings melasma if you're not careful, and this has helped fade the few spots I have. It's not heavy on chemicals so it's safe for baby, too.
I was careful about oils because I thought oils= acne. Herbivore makes an amazing product that has tackled my pregnancy acne, my dry skin, preventing wrinkles, and keeping my skin away from dry patches with Lapis. This oil will go bad before I even finish it, I've had it since the beginning of the year, i use it twice a day, sometimes three if my hands are dry, and it still looks like it's never been used. It makes my makeup go on easier and when I want a little bit of glow, I mix my foundation with it. Every person has their one cult product they can't live without and this is mine.
I recently switched sunblock to cater to my acne/dry skin and this one from Cover FX sinks into your skin without messing with your moisturizer.
If you don't get to a spa for monthly facials, invest in a great at-home mask. Herbivore makes Blue Tansy, which contains natural enzymes, it brightens my skin, renews my skin without redness, and so so soft.
Bonus- Origins Zit Zapper. It won't dry out my skin, but it will dry out my pimple overnight. La Roche-Posay Anthellos SPF 50 Primer. When I know I'll be out in the sun a little more, I'll switch out my regular primer for this primer with extra SPF.
I'll be working on an updated makeup soon. Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to gloat about my favorite skin care products.

This Saturday, October 1st, is Doors Open Mississauga 2011, and Day 2 of the Canadian Culture Days. If you have even the slightest interest in anything having to do with the arts, heritage, your family, your city, real estate, entertainment , or, quite simply, being wowed, you owe it to yourself (and your family and friends) to seize this chance to tour the remarkable Small Arms Building, 1352 Lakeshore Road East, Mississauga (416) 661-6600 ext.5223 (Free parking, wheelchair accessible).
Built in 1941, this 144, 000 sq. ft. office and small arms inspection building was part of Small Arms Ltd, a World War 2 arms manufacturer. The company has an incredible wartime history. Tens of thousands of women came from across Canada to work there, and the dormitories and houses built for them revitalized the Lakeview area of Mississauga. The Arsenal Lands upon which it sits was home to the Long Branch Rifle Ranges, to Canada's first aerodrome and a military flight training school.
So what does this have to do with you, your family, the arts, real estate, and everything else I listed?
A dedicated volunteer group, The Lake Legacy Foundation (with whom I've had the privilege to work with), has worked tirelessly to lay the ground work for Small Arms to repurpose it as a centre of arts and culture.
You may be wondering, what, exactly , is a centre of arts and culture, and what does it have to do with me?
Well, for starters, this space will offer much-needed affordable work and performance space for Mississauga's artist and cultural groups. Mississauga is just over 30 years old. Older buildings with minimal dollars per square foot rental are pretty well nonexistent, so independent artists must leave our city to live and work. This venue will offer studios of all kinds: from personal, affordable live work space for visual artists (painting, ceramics, sculpture & more) to practice space for theatre, dance and music. Theatres for performance and galleries that both show and sell, will introduce us to our artists. Small Arms has the potential to help Mississauga keep its creative people (especially the young ones), and to attract other cultural sorts to the city as well.
The building itself, now saved from demolition, will be a living museum with creative tips of the hat to its historic roots and its Rosie the Riveter inhabitants throughout.
The Lakeview community will have a long overdue cultural jewel in its crown.
All of Mississauga (and the GTA and beyond) will have an inspirational venue to visit , and I mean inspirational in every way! A cultural venue where you can shop, learn, teach, exhibit, view, entertain or be entertained, work and sell, and become involved. A place to hang out alone, or with family, or your peers. Time spent there may be contemplative or celebratory. High ceilings, big windows, at the edge of a great lake.
Don't miss this chance to see what could be.

As a stepmom, I want nothing more than to do everything in my powers to help my stepdaughter be a great human. I want her to know, TO KNOW, that she's capable of anything. That means allowing her to learn that progress requires productive action from her, no matter the size. She is kind, smart, conscientious and pretty darn cute. With Valentines day approaching, I wanted to do something that highlighted more than just the flowers and candy. So I thought I'd share what's near and dear to my heart by featuring styles that look great( hello outfits) and contribute to an even bigger cause (Hello "doing GOOD").
I met Matt Pipkin a few years ago and we immediately clicked. He's a ball of energy (like myself) and funny as hell (I ain't too shabby ;) Matt is the founder of Speak your Silence a nonprofit on a mission to end the stigma associated with child sexual abuse. 100%, yes 100% of public donations and profits from the Stitch funds in-person, one-on-one counseling nationwide for those personally affected by sexual abuse. Maybe it's age or just life making a little more sense to me, I'm more mindful of what steps I can take to make a difference. I think that's what creates the volume for change, is each and every individual making efforts within their own arena to foster a movement.
I've had the opportunity to participate with Matt and the amazing team of Speak Your Silence whenever needed to support his cause. This awesome tee that I'm rocking is a very cool part of how you and I can support the Stitch. The Stitch represents a non-verbal way to communicate your support and really make the conversation happen without as Matt puts it "...feeling heavy and dreary". Speak your silence has created a space that "...moves child sexual abuse from a taboo issue to an inspiring cause that you can be excited to champion." Matt presented a great feature on his SYS blog that really touched the core of it's mission. You can read it here. He mentions that "It became clear to me that child sexual abuse is not a cause, but rather, it's an issue. There's a BIG difference. To me, issues represent problems; problems with no obvious solutions. They don't leave me feeling excited, but instead, feeling heavy. Causes, on the other hand, represent solutions. They inspire me to take action. They leave us feeling enthusiastic, feeling good about ourselves, and feeling confident about a bright future." I couldn't have said it any better if I tried. I have about 20 different ways to rock this awesome tee and it comes in gray!! LOVE!!! Learn more by clicking here, your outfits and your heart will thank you.
When I decided to start my own personal fashion stylist service it was to feed my endless passion for all things style and design but also to create a platform where fashion was accessible and intimidation free. I want you to feel great about how you look which builds confidence and is empowering. Style then functions as this great supporting role that acts as a catalyst for you to conquer your fears and make a difference in your own way. I want to use my passion as a way to fuel a path which leads to making an impact for the better. Sounds a bit cheesy but oh how life changing it can be. I'm doing a little happy dance because there is so much GOODNESS, awesome outfits and great features coming up. I feel blessed that I get to share it ALL with you!! The love is real y'all!!! Comment, share and do GOOD!! MUAH :)

Everything She Ever Wanted
By Ann Rule
Pat Taylor was spoiled and pampered as a child and, as an adult, apparently believed that if she wanted something she could do whatever it took to get it, even if she had to kill for it. Seeing herself as a modern Scarlett O'Hara, she used her good looks and charm to manipulate and destroy.
Her first marriage failed but she found a man she thought could provide her with the lifestyle she wanted. Tom Allanson and Pat were married in costume, she as Scarlett and he as Rhett. But Tom's wealthy parents didn't approve of the marriage. They ended up dead, perhaps through Pat's manipulation of the situation, setting son against parent, and Tom was convicted for the crime.
With Tom & his parents out of the picture, Pat set her sights on his grandparents. She tried to poison them but she was caught and sent to prison. She may also have burned down her own home to get the insurance money.
After prison Pat got a job as nurse to a wealthy couple. Once again she used poison and the man died. Pat was caught for that too but plea bargained her way out of a murder charge.
Pat Taylor is quite a piece of work, selfish, desperate and heartless. Her pretty facade hid an ugly, cruel soul. Reading about her was pretty interesting, an exploration of a classic sociopath.

By Anne Rivers Siddons
Maude's husband's family always spend the summers at "The Retreat" in Maine. And as a young bride Maude finds herself a bit of an outsider at this gathering of her husband's family and relatives. A Southerner, Maude doesn't really fit in with her husband Peter's Boston relatives. For one thing, there's the mean mother-in-law to cope with. Also the creepy alcoholic husband of Maude's best friend. And to make matters worse, Maude's husband is distant, depressed and apt to disappear, off sailing, just when she needs him the most. But, as the years pass, Maude adapts and copes and finds her place among her husband's family, while raising her own children and coping with her erratic husband. Along the way she deals with various family problems and tragedies, including rumors that Peter fathered another woman's child.
I can't say I cared for this book. I found it way too long and rather boring.

The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing
By Melissa Bank
The book follows Jane as she stumbles her way through a few relationships that never quite seem to work out. Eventually, after several years wasted on a much older and alcoholic man, she figures out that she needs a guy who will love her for herself. Duh.
Jane is the queen of the one-liners, quipping her way through the story, often upsetting those she is merely trying to amuse or impress. The book is hyped as being funny, spirited and delightful but I found it rather boring at times. The humor didn't appeal to me. Also in the middle of the book is a chapter about a neighbor of Jane's that seemed to have nothing to do with the rest of the story. That was more than a bit confusing. I thought the ending was too pat and maybe was contrived to give the author the chance to take a few shots at The Rules, a book about how to get the man of your dreams.
The Dogs of Bedlam Farm
Jon Katz loved his dogs, three border collies named Orson, Homer and Rose. Border collies were originally bred to help shepherds herd their sheep. Katz wanted his dogs to be as happy as possible and he figured the way to do that was to give them the chance to be the dogs they were breed to be: sheep-herding dogs. So he bought a few sheep, a small farm and, leaving behind the big city, his wife and daughter, he went to live with the dogs, the sheep, and a couple of donkeys on this small farm, Bedlam Farm, in rural New York State.
Even taking care of a small flock of sheep turns out to be grueling hard work, especially for an older man with bad knees. It didn't help that the farm is located on hilly land and that the winters there are just plain nasty, cold, icy and snowy. The work is hard and unrelenting, just like the winter weather. But he sticks it out, with the help of friends and neighbors, and the dogs improve with their sheep handling skills and Katz becomes famous in the area as the guy with the dogs, His farm becomes one of the local attractions as people stop by just to watch his dogs work the sheep. At the end of the book, Katz feels that not only are his dogs happier and more centered but that he is also feeling more at peace and grounded too.
I did enjoy this book, reading about Katz's trials and tribulations. I can't really understand what he did though. It seems as though his dogs and their happiness were more important to him than his own family. I've heard of people moving because they wanted their dogs to have a nice, fenced backyard. But this is the first time I ever heard of anyone buying a farm and sheep just so their dogs could something to do. Seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to just to keep your dogs happy. Still, it made for a very interesting and diverting story, even if I don't approve of his lifestyle

Every Demon Has His Day
By Cara Lockwood
Constance Plyd's life is turned upside down the day her husband is stabbed to death in their driveway. Constance, of course, is the number one suspect, especially since she and her husband Jimmy were in the process of getting divorced. And it doesn't help matters when she tells the sheriff that the man who killed Jimmy was a demon who handed her his business card after killing Jimmy and that the card read, "Yaman. Demon at large. Murder and mayhem since 550 BC" at which point the demon vanished as did his business card.
Things get even stranger when Constance discovers that she can now see the future and that the demon and his cohort are in town to arrange a meeting between Satan and his bride-to-be, a hot young pop star in town to film a movie. And it is up to Constance to stop this meeting because if Satan succeeds, hello Armageddon, here comes the Antichrist and its the end of the world. But not to worry, Constance is going to have a little help in the form of a talking dog who's really an angel in training, and from the town psychic who happens to me Constance's mother, and from a Catholic priest armed to the teeth with holy guns and blessed ammo and from the ghost of her dead and still bumbling husband Jimmy and finally from the reluctant and disbelieving sheriff who is also an old crush of Constance's and whom she hates because he did her wrong back when they were in high school. The devil doesn't stand a chance!
This was a pretty good story, fun and entertaining although it does have its moments of gore but doesn't dwell on them like some stories seem to do. The demons aren't very scary, mostly just incompetent and frequently amusing. Constance has to thwart the devil's plans while trying to keep herself from being locked up for Jimmy's murder. So even though I could have done without the gore, still it was an amusing read and I enjoyed it.

Witness to Myself
By Seymour Shubin
As a child, Alan had it pretty good. His parents had a solid marriage, his dad was successful and they both loved their son. When Alan was a teen, he felt confused and unhappy and dissatisfied, like many kids his age. Alan had a bit of a cruel streak so one day, while on vacation with his parents, he encountered a girl alone on a trail in the woods and he tried to fondle her. She resisted and he choked her and dropped her to the ground, unmoving. He didn't know if she was dead or alive and he didn't stay to find out.
After that he lived in fear of someone discovering what he had done. He tried to keep a low profile, living quietly and discretely, never trying to draw attention to himself. Years passed and he became a successful lawyer. Then he met a woman, a woman he really liked and with whom he wanted to build a future. But he didn't feel he could move in to this future without knowing if the girl he attacked had survived their encounter.
So Alan set out to find out what had really happened but his attempt to gather info on the crime has drawn the attention of the last people he wanted to attract: the police.
This was a sad story about a guy who did something really bad but doesn't really seem to be a bad guy. He let shame and fear dictate his actions and eventually guilt drove him over the edge. He was a guy who looked good from the outside, smart and successful with an enviable life but inside something was seriously lacking in his character. Nevertheless, he was a sympathetic character whose slow destruction left this reader feeling sad at the end. Still, despite the grim outcome, it was a pretty interesting read.

I Believe in Ghosts
By Danton Walker
A collection of supposedly true tales of ghostly encounters and quite a few psychic encounters also. Seems like such encounters are not as uncommon as one might think. The stories in the book are interesting and puzzling and give the reader pause. Quite an enjoyable excursion into the unknown.

The Snake Has All the Lines
By Jean Kerr
A collection of humorous pieces on life in the suburbs in the 1950s. Jean Kerr, married to drama critic Walter Kerr, writes about her kids, her mother, her husband and her adventures as a playwright.
Even though it was written more than 50 years ago, Jean Kerr's little book holds up well. It is still funny, still relevant and I enjoyed reading it a lot.

By Nora Ephron
Rachel Samstat thought she was happily married. She was the last one to know that her husband was involved with another woman. At the time this occurred, Rachel had a two year old child and was seven months pregnant.
She asked herself what had gone wrong with her marriage and how she hadn't noticed that her husband was no longer in love with her. Was she too harsh? Was she too distant? Was their marriage truly over or did it have a second chance?
Her husband wants her to come back home. He promises not to see the other woman, he promises that it is all over. So Rachel comes back home but she doesn't trust him any more and it quickly becomes apparent that he isn't living up to his promises. Looks like Rachel is in for more heartache as her marriage goes through its death throes.
I can't say I really cared for this book. It is supposed to be funny and witty but I just found it boring and predictable. The hubby is a complete creep and Rachel a fool for ever giving the two-timing liar a second chance. I don't know why Rachel is so blind to her husband's true feelings but going back to a man who so clearly doesn't give a rat's ass about her is just strange. I also never understood why he was so anxious to get her back. I mean, she is no sooner back in his house than he is making plans with the lover for their future together. He begs and pleads and nags Rachel to come back and the moment she does he starts cheating again. I don't get it.

City of the Chasch
By Jack Vance
Planet of Adventure #1
The spaceship from Earth came to the planet Tschai in response to a distress signal. As the spaceship approached the planet, a missile was launched from the planet and the ship was destroyed with all its crew except for Adam Reith and one other man who escaped in their scout ship. Unfortunately, the scout ship was also damaged and they crashed landed on Tschai and they were both gravely injured.
Their landing did not go unnoticed. The first to investigate were a group of human men who shortly killed Adam's companion but who fled before they found Adam, who was hanging in a tree nearby, the result of ejecting from the crashing vessel. Next came a group of aliens and men who investigated the crash and who loaded the scout ship on their craft and carried it away. But the first group returned and found Adam and brought him to their village where he was nursed back to health.
While living among these rather primitive people, Adam learned their language and about the two main groups of intelligent creatures living on the planet, the Dirdir and the Chasch and that the Chasch have different races, like the Blue Chasch and the Green Chasch and that they don't get along. It was the Blue Chasch who carried away Adam's ship and his only chance to get off this alien planet. He also learned that humans live on the planet as slaves and servants to the aliens.
So Adam has determined to set off to find his ship, repair it and get back home. But to do so he will have to trek across an alien landscape, hiding from the various aliens that dominate this world and, with the help of some friends he makes along the way, he will go a long way toward meeting that goal. In the process he will teach these downtrodden human beings that they don't have to live in slavery to their alien masters. And rescue the pretty girl, of course.
This was an OK story. It was fun reading about Adam's attempts to shake up the local people and get them to thinking about the status quo. About the only interaction he had with the various aliens was just to kill them, so that part was disappointing. I wish the story had focused more on the aliens and the alien life of the planet but mainly it was about Adam's quest and the effect he had on the humans he encountered.

Thomas resigns over Israel remarks
Helen Thomas, a fixture in the White House press corps since John F. Kennedy was president, resigned Monday, just two months shy of her 90th birthday, after remarks she made last month saying that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and return to Poland and Germany sparked a wave of condemnation.
The announcement was made by Hearst Newspapers, for whom she had worked as a columnist since 2000 after spending 57 years at United Press International. Thomas was celebrated for breaking barriers to female journalists and became something of a cultural icon. On her 89th birthday President Barack Obama presented her with cupcakes in the White House press room.
Story Continued Below
"I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians," Thomas said in a statement. "They do not reflect my heartfelt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon."
The decision to retire came as Thomas faced criticism from nearly every corner after video of her remarks during an interview with RabbiLive.com's Rabbi David Nesenoff emerged online late last week. Monday morning, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs joined in the criticism.
"Those remarks were offensive and reprehensible," Gibbs said during the daily briefing, adding that Thomas's remarks "do not reflect certainly most of the people here and certainly not those of the administration."
Thomas did not attend Monday's briefing, and journalists, perhaps sensing the end of an era, were spotted taking pictures of Thomas's empty front-row seat.
Over the weekend, Thomas's speakers agency dropped her as a client and a suburban Washington high school that had asked Thomas to speak at its commencement rescinded the invitation. "Graduation celebrations are not the venue for divisiveness," Alan Goodwin, principal of Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, Md., wrote Sunday in an e-mail to students and parents.

A Scent They Fear and a Taste They Can't Stand

The unique combination of ingredients in Deer Off® is proven effective against deer.

Review Ratepest problem
i work on a farm and we have a terrible problem with deer and skanks.
Review RateGreat product
Great product. I spray my azaleas, rhododendrons, and other shrubs 4-5 times a year and they have remained unmolested for years. We have up to 8-10 deer in our yard sometimes daily. They tend to eat everything except the plants that I've sprayed. Highly recommend this product.
Review RateDeer Off works to a degree
The product deer off works as well as any other repellent. I manage clubhouse ground at a country club and we have a lot of flowers. Rain reduces the efficiency of product and I apply every 2 weeks and alternate products and the deer still will get to some of the plants.
Review RatePositive
Have used this for several years and it works weel
Review RateDeeroff rabbit repellent 2.5 Gallons
I bought this product called DEEROFF to stop the rabbits from damaging my lawn. I was told by the sales representative that this product will do just that. I followed the instruction to a tee. I was told that this product should last 90 days. Boy, was I misinformed. After three weeks, the rabbits came back to veg on my lawn. So I called the Havahart customer service to see way it didn't live up to 90 days. He told me that I would have to reapply a second application. I bought the 2.5 gallons and that wasn't cheap. It cost me $220. for this product. I do NOT recommend this product if you are trying to stop the rabbits invading your lawn. It DOESN'T work. I only gave this product one star. And that's too much.Response From Havahart®Jennifer : Consumer Relations Representative
We recommend shaking the container of DEER-OFF® before use. The lawn should be sprayed thoroughly until it looks wet. We recommend repeating as new growth emerges, and if the effects of the previous treatment appear to be waning. We apologize for this experience. Our Consumer Relations Team is happy to provide additional assistance. Please contact us at 1-855-5-HAVAHART (1-855-542-8242).
Review RateExcellent Product!I purchase 5 gallons of this about one month ago. Before the purchase the deer were extremely active on our trees. Since purchasing, I have not seen any new damage or bark rubbings. Definitely recommend this product.
Review RateGreat companyGreat prices with great shipping makes for a great company and experience. My order was filled and shipped in one day and came early which is always a plus. Happy consumer.
Review RateDeer Off Concentrates works!I have been using this product for 1 1/2 year. We have many deers visiting at nights and they eat everything in sight. After we re-landscaped our entire yard, we started spraying with Deer Off and have done so diligently once/month. I recently skipped 6 day lillies plants close to the house, thinking the deers won't eat these...wrong, it is the only plants they attacked and the only plants that were not sprayed. Good scientific test. The only problem I occasionally have is that the diluted concentrate in the sprayer plugs/clogs the sprayer pretty badly. This part is annoying... if not for this clogging problem, I would rate the product 5 stars. It is effective against deers. Rabbits, not as well...
Review RateStarted using Deer OffWe have about 3 acres of plants and flowers. Every year the deer eat my tulips as soon as they bloom. This year we used DeerOff, all my tulips looked beautiful and hung in til the end. I started spraying my Hastas plants and they have not eaten any of those yet either. I actually dont see the deer hang around as much as I used to.
Review RateThey can eat grass !!I live adjacent to a park with LOTs of deer roaming. I use fencing in the winter because I cannot spray, but between March and December, my Deer Off does the job alone and never fails me. I have tried many other products and remedies, but this is the only one that REALLY works. The concentrate is also the cheapest of the sprays I have tried when calculated over the cost per gallon ..... and I mix as little or as much as I need ..... doing everything from my hemlocks to planters on my patio. I love this product ... period.

Third time back and I still feel the magic of this totally unique package. I enjoy the fact that it is special, it is time, it is peace. The time in the morning is magical, that time to do yoga to sort out your head and stretch your body-gives such clarity of mind. It is the most relaxing holiday ever. Special time for yourself as a mum and as a woman and time for your child.
You have given me my energy back after two difficult years in my life. I have never felt this kind of Divine Feminine energy and love before. The laid-back slow tempo of the days gave me time to recharge and all the inspiration, wonderful people and fantastic food. I am so grateful for this retreat. I admire you Claudia for the work you and your team do. You make this world better. You have made my life better.
You have an amazing vision and have attracted a prolific group of gifted individuals. This is how we should all strive to eat, move, meditate and support each other. In one week it is possible to reset our entire world and you have opened that door. Amazing closing ceremony. You've got it.
You girls rock big time. I had an amazing time here. The Ibizan kindness, good vibes, great food and not to forget the great yoga. I love every aspect of this journey.
I have felt so supported, listened to, accepted and loved during my time here. We had the most amazing time and will be back for more next year
It has been transformative. As the mum of a six month old and a two year old, this retreat has been food for the soul.
Lovely people, wonderful food, great yoga. My son fell in love with his babysitter. I feel recharged and relaxed. I'll be back.
Our 2nd time here at HolyMama and still very special. The team, the warmth and love really sets this retreat apart from the rest. I return to my day job, my real life with a sense of strength, purpose and well-being.
My sons and I were able to relax, become closer with one another and nature, in a warm and nurturing environment. I thought the food was amazing and the boys had so much fun with the carers. The retreat exceeded our expectations.
We really enjoyed being part of such a wonderful community. The yoga and food were absolutely stunning. We really appreciate the genuine kindness of the childcarers.
I am so glad I decided to come back. I have gone from feeling in crisis a couple of weeks ago to feeling calm, healthy and with a plan. Recharged and reenergized. It has been an absolute pleasure being part of the HolyMama journey.
I don't know who's had a better time – my daughter or myself. It has been everything I was looking for when I booked.
The yoga classes, the great team, the wonderful food, the spa, the meditations, the other moms and children and the health care talk with Claudia. All things were amazing. I was very impressed, how much everybody cared.
The yoga was great, just the right amount. There was a very friendly and supportive vibe from the staff, you certainly felt like they would try and help you in any way they could. And it was lovely to spend a week with friends I don't get to see enough.
Thank you for an unforgettable week. I came pregnant and with my 22 month old boy; a lot of tension in my body and a lot of confusion in my mind and heart. Today, I'm leaving with a relaxed body, a calm mind and a heart full of joy, trust and the certainty that I'm on my path.
We had a really magical week. I enjoyed some amazing yoga and discovering new things about my son. Everyone was so helpful and did everything with such love and kindness. We will take that spirit back with us.

Today was one of the great practice sessions. Even though I set out to do something I was practicing on the simulator, I ended up going in a completely different direction with my driving range session.
At home I had been practicing with the driving range portion of my golf simulator. I noticed that I had difficulty squaring the face, but once I concentrated on having an inside path and getting the face slightly closed at impact I hit beautiful draws.
I wanted to see how that would translate on the driving range I go to, to hit actual golf balls. So I started out doing that, and quickly got bored of it. I followed an intuition I had and instead practiced in a different way.
I started with the pitching wedge and picked out a target about 75 yards away. And the thought I had in preparing for the swing was this "What is the smoothest slowest full swing I can do to hit it to that target 75 yards away." So I felt the smooth swing in my body, and then did the same thing with a golf ball. That smooth swing created a gorgeous pitching wedge shot. It arced high, and went right at the my aim point but effortlessly carried to 130 yards.
I felt no effort in the swing. In fact, it almost felt as if there was anti-effort. That was interesting so I wondered if I could do that consistently. I hit about 10 more shots, to the exact spot give or take a couple of feet. The ball just exploded off the face and the sound was completely different from the way it sounded at the beginning of the session.
Earlier in the session I had been trying the ideas from the simulator session and I was hitting my 7 iron about 165. I wondered if it would work the 7 iron. I grabbed my 7 iron and picked out a spot 125 yards from me on the line I wanted to hit the shot to. Again I thought, what is the easiest smoothest and slowest swing that will take it to 125. Once I felt that I had it, I stepped up to the ball. The swing felt slow and smooth, and the ball sailed to 175 yards, bouncing off the back of the green at the range. Again it felt effortless. I was trying to do less and ended with a better result.
