Co-op selects Bragg Street Academy teacher for Kenan Fellows
Daria Fedrick, a career technology teacher at Bragg Street Academy, has been named a 2018-19 Kenan Fellow. Her fellowship was made possible through a partnership between Central Electric Membership Corporation, North Carolina's Electric Cooperatives and the Kenan Fellows Program for Teacher Leadership at N.C. State University.
Fedrick, who has been teaching for eight years, is among 25 teachers from across North Carolina who have been selected to participate in the 2018-19 fellowship year. Beginning in June, she will work alongside mentors and industry experts at Central Electric learning how power is generated and delivered, exploring the history of the electric cooperative model and seeing how Central Electric is innovating its services and enhancing systems to continue to meet, and exceed, the expectations of its members.
"Central Electric is honored to partner with such a prestigious institute as the Kenan Fellows and we are very excited to host Daria with us this summer as a part of the program," said Morris McClelion, Central Electric General Manager and CEO. "The cooperative has a strong commitment to our local communities and our partnership with the Kenan Fellows Program allows us to continue investing in the development of our local teachers and students."
Fedrick will transfer this knowledge to her students by creating lessons that will help them understand how electricity is produced and delivered to cooperative members. Her lessons will also increase their awareness of various career pathways in the energy field and at the cooperative.
"Support from industry leaders such as Central Electric and North Carolina's Electric Cooperatives allow us to empower more teachers to ignite students' passion for STEM in more locations across the state," said Dr. Elaine Franklin, director of the Kenan Fellows Program. "Their support also allows us to provide educators with knowledge of local career opportunities available to students, and strengthens collaboration with industry. This is especially important in rural communities."
As part of the award, Kenan Fellows receive a $5,000 stipend and participate in 80 hours of professional development focused on project-based learning, digital learning and leadership development. Educators who complete the year-long program remain in the classroom while growing professionally as part of a statewide network of teacher leaders. Today, an elite network of more than 420 Kenan Fellows are working to improve Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education in North Carolina and beyond.
About the Kenan Fellows Program: Established in 2000 as an initiative of the Kenan Institute for Engineering, Technology & Science at N.C. State University, the Kenan Fellows Program addresses the critical need for high-quality professional development for educators, and is the largest (science, technology, engineering and math) STEM-focused teacher fellowship in North Carolina. The fellowships are made possible through the generous support of the program's many corporate, education and foundation partners including North Carolina's Electric Cooperatives and Central Electric.

The family of Hong Kong-based billionaire Tony Fung took another large step toward establishing a major presence in international racing by purchasing six colts during the first three sessions of Keeneland's September Yearling Sale for a total of $2.085 million.
Topped by a $500,000 son of Galileo, a half-brother to US champion juvenile filly Halfbridled who was bred in Ireland by a Coolmore partnership, and a $385,000 Street Cry half-brother to Belmont Stakes winner Creator, the group of colts would stand out in any locale.
"Great, great quality," says Fung's son Justin (pictured below), who oversees the family's Aquis Farm in Queensland, Australia, and who bought the colts while assisted by Julian Blaxland of Blue Sky Bloodstock of Sydney.
"It's important for us to diversify our portfolio and make sure we have the best-quality horses from anywhere in the world, and we'll travel to source it."
The Fungs are busy building up their bloodstock holdings after last year acquiring the four properties covering over 1,100 acres previously owned in Queensland by Nathan Tinkler under his Patinack Farm banner.
In July they bought four well-bred fillies for a total of 430,000gns at Tattersalls and are breeding four mares to Frankel on southern hemisphere time.
They also are standing four stallions in the current Australian breeding season: Holy Roman Emperor, the former Coolmore shuttler by Danehill; Domesday, a former Darley stallion by Red Ransom; Snitzel's sprinting son Spill The Beans, who is standing his first season, and Benfica, a Group 1-winning son of Lonhro and another former Darley stallion.
Plans for the newly acquired yearlings are still taking shape, but Justin Fung said they would probably stay in the States for racing.
"We're always exploring options and we're excited about the future of these colts," he says.
One of the colts, a dark bay by Kitten's Joy out of the Grade 2-placed Lady Lumberjack, by Forestry, was acquired in partnership with Barbara Banke's Stonestreet Stables for $450,000 from the Clearsky Farms consignment.
Stonestreet has been active in buying some top-quality young horses in Australia, where Blaxland says he met Banke's bloodstock advisor John Moynihan.
Blaxland explains: "I gave him some insights into the Aussie horses and we bought one at Easter last year with Gai Waterhouse, and so John and I both like a fast horse. And we want to help Aquis get results on the track as soon as possible.
"John identified this colt and I agreed with him; it looks like a really nice grass horse and we're excited to get an association between Stonestreet and Aquis."
"Being a new player in the industry, we definitely want to forge relationships with everyone around the world and make sure we capitalise on opportunities together," says Fung, who adds that he wants to find colts with pedigrees that would make them strong stallion prospects in any part of the world if they succeed in racing.
"Despite the fact we spent a lot of money, I love the value we got," Fung says.
His purchases also included a War Front colt who is the second foal out of multiple Grade 1 winner Sassy Image, by Broken Vow. Acquired for $250,000 early in the first session, the colt was bred by Stonestreet.
"You can't go wrong with a War Front and Sassy Image. We wanted this one. We thought it was a spectacular deal and we're really excited," Fung adds.
His other purchases were a $180,000 Giant's Causeway colt out of a sister to Galileo's Group 1-winning daughter Lush Lashes, who was bred by Don Alberto Corp, and a $320,000 son of Uncle Mo out of a half-sister to Middle Park Stakes winner Crusade, who was bred by a Coolmore partnership.

We have all been here:
A group from the church returns from an amazing conference totally on fire, and more passionate than they have ever been at your regular services, but the drive only lasts for a few weeks.
We've also been here:
A big name artist just came through town and pulled off an amazing worship set at the church, and the attendance was more than we have ever seen and the zeal in the room was electrifying. But, the next service without the big name artist was dull and like revving up a lawn mower; the whole first song was wasted reminding the church body why they came to church in the first place.
So, How do we get people more excited about worship?
Here are 3 things that will create an incredible atmosphere to facilitate your churches heart for worship and jump start your community to a passionate worship culture:
1. Be Relational:
Meet with people from your team, your church, and over all community. Meet with them outside of church and get to know their hearts so that you can better champion them in worship.
2. Make Room For It:
If you are buying a new couch but have no room for it in your house you really aren't going to use it! Same goes with creating culture. Create environments that encourage people to dive in. Create a safe place to try new things in worship. Be it at an extra service, house worship, or just longer practices.
3. Pray:
Prayer is the fuel behind every movement. Let the Lord know your heart and pray with the community around you. Prayer stirs hunger, desire, zeal, and over-all anticipation for God and what he has planned for your church.

A Potton school is celebrating an outstanding Ofsted report.
Potton Pre-School received an 'oustanding' result in all four categories.
Inspectors said children are highly motivated to learn, engrossed in activity, freely explore both inside and outside and staff skilfully add challenges and encourage children to use equipment in many different ways.
Managers were praised for seeking focused feedback from parents, children and other professionals who visit the pre-school on Everton Road.
"Staff enthusiastically contribute ideas for improvement.
"These are discussed at regular staff meetings, helping to keep staff extremely involved," said inspectors.
"Children work very well together.
"They make choices about what they are going to do. Staff ask them to vote to decide whether they listen to a story or continue to sing some songs.
"This helps children understand that their thoughts and choices are valued."
To improve, inspectors said, the pre-school can build upon the imaginative and exciting ways staff continue their professional development and help support children's learning at the very highest level.
Carrie Smith, manager of the pre school, said: "As a team we are delighted with the Ofsted grading which recognises the quality of the care and learning opportunities we are able to provide.
"The inspector highlighted the children's motivation to learn and observed how well our team work together to ensure that the children thrive in all areas of their development.
"I am extremely proud to lead Potton Pre-school and feel privileged that I get to see what the inspector saw every day!"

Opening skyward
On our daily, mid-January now, walks to North Beach, the trees lift long, bare fingers to the sky. All but one cherry blooming early. It brings to mind the artists and writers who gather the courage to send their works out into the world, sometimes a harsh and unwelcoming world. And yet, those works, like these flowers, give the rest of us hope. So thank you to those of you who take the risk and share your art. You can't know who will be inspired by the glimpses of life you share, but please know we are.

WADA will call for organizations to submit proposals to develop a new Anti-Doping Administration and Management System (ADAMS), which will be launched in 2016.
ADAMS is the worldwide anti-doping clearinghouse that simplifies the daily activities of organizations and athletes involved in the anti-doping system. The system has over 264,000 athletes' profiles and is currently actively used by nearly 50,000 athletes.
The new version, which will be launched in 2016 following the introduction of revised Code, is being developed to further help with the administration and coordination of practices that protect clean sport. It promises to offer more flexibility and enhanced functionalities for the anti-doping community, including superior administrative capabilities, a progressive intelligence collection process, investigative collaboration, comprehensive research analysis and the ability to work alongside alternative anti-doping management systems.

dear internets,
due to circumstances beyond her control monica may be forced to disappoint the universe and not complete this crazy nablopomo thing. it seem she is currently lacking internet at her house. her internet went out just hours after the homeowner of the house her family rents was informed that her family would be moving and not renewing their lease. coincidence? maybe. maybe not.
monica will do her best to fulfill her commitment to post everyday for the next 30 days. about nothing. because that is what she posts about most often. it might mean frequent trips to the local wawee where she will be forced to drink pretty coffee. it could get ugly. but, she will persevere. her dedication is best summed up in the words of winston churchill:
i have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. we have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.
thank you for your understanding in these trying times.

Here's the finished sock...I'm not happy with the toe grafting, but I'm going to leave it and do the second one the same way. Why, you ask, would someone who is a perfectionist leave something they don't like? Well, one, I'm tired of messing with this sock, particularly the toe part (I had to graft that sucker 3 times!) and two, I've already started on the second one...see?
That was this morning's progress...there's about another half inch to three-quarters added, since I worked on it during lunch. My goal is to finish it this week...I would like to be working on it through Saturday, and then finish it and start on another project. And I have oh, so many! I'm going to start on my purple sweater...the one I completed and then took out. I didn't take any pictures of it, but I can assure you I will this time! I'm trying to complete one project a month, give or take. January's project is socks; February's will be that sweater, and I also have a baby blanket to do in February. If the sweater goes into March, that's ok. I should still be able to finish it before the weather heats up too much to wear it (it's acrylic and it gets uber hot). I put all the projects on my Palm Pilot (I'm being very digital these days - go figure) and I have them through May, I believe. There might be several more pairs of socks done this year. I have a skein of Magic Stripes that needs knitting, and oh! There's also a pair of kid socks in my future! I bought a one skein-er at a LYS, and thought I'd do anklet socks with it! I hope there's enough. If not, I might do something funky with it, but what I haven't decided. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Well, I should go clean now...besides, this computer's uber slow. I found a great one for $250; I just don't have $250 right now. Someone want to give me $250 for a new computer?! I'll be more than happy to take your money! =0) Just kidding! In a couple of months (or sooner I hope) I'll be able to order it. It just takes some time (and not traveling). I don't think people realize how much money it takes to travel around here. Gas is so expensive, and so is food. Oh well...hopefully another progress report tomorrow (with pictures)!

The Rocky Mountains are close, but the future is closer for Denver startups
People love Denver for many reasons, such as the scenery, active lifestyle options, and Old West echoes. Started in 1858 during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush, Denver was nearly abandoned by the middle of 1859. Residents worked together to get an overland wagon trail through the area, and by 1863, Western Union solidified the growing community by making it a regional terminal.
Now the Denver-Aurora area has close to 3.5 million residents, the largest in the state of Colorado, and houses the state's capital and main business hub. With an assay office established during the gold rush, the United States Mint located in Denver is one of four in the country. Physically making money leads to money-making companies placing headquarters or regional offices in the area, as Denver remains the hub of modern wagon trails of distribution.
The private University of Denver, founded in 1864, competes with three major public universities, so the curious have many options for education. Intersections of higher learning, government, and large companies beget startups, and that is certainly true of Denver.
1. Welltok
Denver, heaven for outdoor enthusiasts (skiing in the winter, hiking in the summer, etc.), also boasts one of the leading companies in the "help patients help themselves" business: Welltok. The CafeWell Health Optimization Platform uses mobile devices and analytics to track consumers' behaviors and encourage people toward taking better care of themselves.
Opening the doors in 2009, their first Series A round in August 2011 was nearly $5 million from four investors. By 2013, they started hitting their funding stride: a six-pack of investors financed $18.7 million in Series B money in April 2013 and less than a year later, more than $22 million swelled the coffers. But 2015 was the true game changer, as $37 million in Series D money arrived in January and $45 million more was gift-wrapped in December. Series E money and debt financing funds arrived in October 2016, bringing their total venture package to nearly $164 million.
2. PaySimple
Small businesses never have enough money, and invoicing for it and processing payments can be complicated and expensive. That's the pain point PaySimple soothes with their cloud-based billing, invoicing, and processing services.
Opening their doors before the smartphone era, in 2006, PaySimple worked to gain a foothold and was rewarded with $2.24 million in Series B money in April 2008. Three years later, $16 million more in Series B money arrived along with $8 million in venture funding. But September carried the biggest news for them so far: They raised $115 million in private equity financing from Providence Strategic Growth. Their total funding to date is more than $145 million.
3. Ping Identity
It may be a pop psych cliché to wonder "Who am I?" but if you don't know, ask Ping Identity, because they probably do. Over half the Fortune 100 relies on Ping to authenticate users, control security access, and manage data at scale as well as compliance.
Opening in 2002, fairly early in the identity management market, Ping grew to be a large startup before being acquired by Vista Equity Partners in June 2016. Over the course of 14 years, they raised more than $128 million in funding.
4. Galvanize
Multiple universities in Denver aside, Galvanize built a network of urban campuses to act as the trade school for the digital economy and train programmers and data scientists. Full- and part-time courses, taught by professionals, not academics, help grow geeks in eight US cities (two in Colorado). Its 91 percent graduate placement rate means an A on their report card.
Businesses often complain they can't find enough programmers, and Galvanize started addressing that need in 2012. By the fall of 2013, an undisclosed amount of venture funding came to class, followed by $18 million in a Series A placement in June 2014. Two rounds of debt financing in 2016 added over $16 million more. Lastly, ABS Capital Partners led five other groups to put $45 million of Series B apples on the teacher's desk. That adds up to over $63 million raised in less than five years.
5. ProtectWise
Digital security, the never-ending battle, needs new warriors regularly. Add ProtectWise to that list. They launched in April 2013 to leverage cloud resources to track and monitor full network traffic in real time. Data collected can be interrogated for hidden patterns and future trends, adding more protection.
A month after being founded by a group of security industry veterans, ProtectWise received $3.05 million in seed money. Except for 2016, they have raised a significant round each year: Four investors supported a $14.1 million Series A in 2014; Tola Capital led six investors in a $20 million Series B round in November 2015; and three investors arrived in early 2017 to help them finance a second Series B placement of $25 million. So far, these good guys have raised more than $62 million.
6. Ibotta
Shops in the old days could put up a "Sale!" sign in the window. Today, companies need to target their good customers and make them great customers. Ibotta, a mobile-friendly marketing and loyalty program specialist, helps companies reward return customers who in turn reward them with continuing engagement.
The iPhone appeared in 2007, and by 2011, Ibotta started to leverage smartphones. In May 2013 an undisclosed amount of Series A money helped the cause. James Clark and four other investors dialed up $20 million in Series B bucks in June 2014. A loyal investor, Clark again led an investor group that raised $40 million in Series C cash in September 2015. If you're counting points, that's over $60 million.
7. FullContact
Coercing contacts into customers only happens with the right tools, and for many companies that tool is FullContact's contact management suite. Starting with a basic contact management platform in 2010, the company now has data solutions and developer tools as well, along with a host of tools to identify and connect to prospects.
Founded in 2010, FullContact has raised nearly $50 million in funding to date in four rounds. Despite not being massive yet, the startup has interestingly managed to acquire five startups: Profoundis Labs, Conspire, Brewster, nGame, and Cobook.
8. Wayin
Founded by former Sun Microsystems CEO and co-founder Scott McNealy, Wayin is a social intelligence and visualization company providing a self-service platform for brands to create interactive campaigns and engage consumers across all digital channels.
Work began in November 2010, and since then, this startup has reached a similar stage as the company in slot #7 on this list, FullContact: Wayin has raised almost $50 million to date over the course of four rounds. And it too has acquired several startups: EngageSciences and Comenta TV.
9. Photobucket
Who knew the collapse of camera sales would lead to millions more photos created every day? Smartphone makers and Photobucket, apparently. Four million images a day are uploaded to Photobucket to store, share, edit, or print. Want your favorite selfie on a canvas poster? They can do it.
Photobucket was ahead of the curve, starting in June 2003, years before the iPhone launched. Photobucket snapped up $3 million in March 2005, $10.5 million in May 2006, and $4.5 million in November 2006. After the iPhone debut, Photobucket made its biggest move to date: It was acquired by Fox Interactive Media in 2007.
Since then, they raised a $10 million round in 2008, as well as a lot of tiny rounds, garnering them over $44 million in total funding to date.
10. CyberGRX
Where there's risk, there's an insurance agent. In the case of cyber risk, that means CyberGRX, a third-party cyber risk management platform that manages exposure across a company and their assorted partners. Join their exchange and get the inside scoop on the risk and security competence of your business partners.
A relatively brand new startup, CyberGRX began in July 2016 with $9 million in Series A funding. Less than a year later, in April, Bessemer Venture Partners led a group of eight investors putting $20 million in Series B money on the table. All in all, this freshly minted company has raised $29 million so far.

"Guideline Change," genomeweb, December 17, 2014
View Link
The US Patent and Trademark Office has issued a set of revised guidelines that Ed Silverman at Pharmalot says may make it easier for biotechs and drug makers to receive patents.
The initial guidelines, Silverman notes, were released in March in response to the Supreme Court's rulings in Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad that isolated DNA cannot be patented and in Mayo v. Prometheus that a test correlating metabolites to drug dosage cannot be patented, and they aimed to help examiners determine what is and what is not patent eligible.
But, industry trade groups argued that these guidelines were too restrictive and Leanne Rakers, an intellectual property attorney at the Harness Dickey law firm, tells Silverman that "[t]he guidance went beyond what the Supreme Court was saying in those cases."

How One Actor Handles Anxiety
Guest Post by Allison Black
Allison Black is a supportive human being for people who are following their joy. Through her humor, sincerity and vulnerability, she's here to help remind you that we all struggle sometimes — while making it all feel like you aren't alone out there. And when she's not acting, you can find her indulging in frequent "Hoofer Style" tap dance classes and the occasional dog agility class.
a feeling of worry, nervousness, tension, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome
Sometimes I have to laugh about the great things I get to do as an actor. This past week's acting gift was the opportunity to improvise with puppies – a charity event for PAWS. I mean, yeah. That is pretty awesome.
This is a highlight because, this summer, to be frank, has been pretty crappy. I mean, the weather is super, but as far as work, well, it has been really light. Light auditions, no paying bookings, clients needing less work, and so on. Savings account, draining. And for me, that is terrifying. Like I am having those whacky elevator dreams where the elevator goes all wonky and I cannot get off. Yeah. Like that.
And I need to preface, I am seriously not a complainer. On the contrary, I'm super positive. But this summer has been really challenging. Thankfully I have spent the last year and a half, working an acting method that has been helping me be a real human. So between that, Brené Brown, and past talk therapy, I feel like I have some tools.
1. The first thing I have been doing is recognizing how I am feeling. And let me tell you, I am really good at delusions. I. Have. To. Feel. All. My. Feelings. Yes, all the difficult ones, all the challenging ones, all the great ones. All of them. And then (dear God) express them. That means yelling, crying, saying things I need to say – preferably in a place where my dog cannot hear me, as she gets really worried about me.
2. Next thing. This one is really hard for me, as I am a perfectionist… tell someone you trust to be there and listen to you without judgement. It is something about those words getting out into the air and traveling into another's ear. It creates this thing called vuln… er… vulnera… bil… vulnerability. And when I allow myself to be vulnerable with another person, this thing called relationship is strengthened. And another thing I learned in class, is that most of the time, the thing I am so scared of saying out loud 1) isn't so horrible once I hear it, and 2) the other person doesn't run away in horror. And 3) I feel so much freer after having spoken it aloud.
Brené Brown is a shame and vulnerability researcher, and wow, that is a topic no one wants to talk about, but we do it to ourselves all the time. If you don't know about her, check out her two TED Talks and then her books. She is delightful and self-deprecating and funny… and wicked smart.
3. Lastly, I get busy. I start doing things that bring me joy. Like schedule time to meditate. Learn a language. Tap dance. Walk in my garden. Smell a flower. Play with my dog. Paint. Volunteer. Walk through Lincoln Park Zoo. Laugh. Help someone else. Offer to write a newsletter piece. These are just things that bring me joy.
What are the things that bring you joy? That's the fun part. And write them down where you can see them every day. It really works for me.
And when I feel anxiety again (and it will happen again) I walk through my process.
What works for you?

Hi Ladies,
I hope you are all having a colourful National Lipstick Day!!!
Lets get started……
Lipstick Brand: Christian Dior Fluidstick
Lipstick Shade: 575 Wonderland
Purchased: Airport
Cost: I paid in Euro's at the Airport so I'm not sure what I paid. In the UK this retails for around £21.00
Thoughts: I had wanted this Gloss/lipstick hybrid for ages and i used to walk past the Dior stand everyday on my way to work and glance longingly at this shade. Then we went on holiday and it was in the Airport and was considerably cheaper so I had to have it. I have already wrote a blog about this product before but i love it so much. The shade is a gorgeous coral Pink and the consistency is nice and smooth and not too sticky.
It will come as no surprise that I give this 10/10!!!
Love & Bubbles

The "Other" Side
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"
"Shots fired! I repeat, We have shots fired! We need backup........... and man down, we have... a man down."
I remembered that night, like it was yesterday, like I was reliving it all over again. I remembered the first shot that penetrated my body, the second, then the third, all felt like...... death. I didn't feel it before it was too late, blood was gushing out, out of the wounds and out of my mouth. I remember seeing the man's face clearly, when he shot me, he was old, wrinkles in his face, white hair, his eyes, they were heavy, his blue eyes, seemed to fade away. The man almost had his life taken away, so he took someone else's for it, he knew that if he didn't, his life would be gone in an instant. His life would be spent in jail, filled with solitude to atone for his probable sins, may they be true or not.
I did believe in an idea of justice, that justice is always served, that justice is just and not biased, that justice always sees the truth, the hearts of the people. We are all guilty, no one is innocent in this world. We are all guilty in the eyes of justice and we all serve our time, but there is always an end to it, there's always an end to justice.
My vision was blurred, as I was looking into my partner's face. He was scared, I could see it in his eyes, he was scared of the man, scared of losing me, scared of everything. Who wouldn't be? He has a wife and kids and he would not give his life for a mistake of someone else. I made a mistake ,I admit it and with that mistake I had to suffer for it, with that mistake my life was taken away.
I remembered the first time I joined the force. It was my dream to be a detective, the thrill, the life on the edge, the search for justice and the means for it. It was all me. I didn't had a wife and kids like most of the people in the force had. My older brother always told me that I should get a wife like he did, he said that it was fun to have kids, to have a family that you love more than anything else in the world, to have people worth fighting for.
My brother had a reason to live, the same as my partner did. We all had something to live for, the question is, what is it I lived for? Did I actually just died for nothing? Well, no one dies for nothing. No one dies in vain, but what happens if we actually do die for nothing, because all I could remember was that I was shot, I was shot and my life ended because of some rookie mistake, because I didn't dare to check my corners, because life and its cruelty decided to take my life away, because God was angry at my sins and decided that a sinner like me no longer deserved to live. All of these, are one out of different reasons why I died, why I'm stuck in the "Other" side of life.
I still remembered the first time I heard that joke. "Why did the chicken cross the road?" My brother asked me. I remembered the way he looked, he held to his laughter. With wonder, I asked "Why did the chicken cross the road?" Then he answered," Because it wanted to get to the Other Side! Get it? OTHER SIDE?" then he went to a crazy laughter. I didn't, that was for sure, I didn't get the joke or if it was a joke. I was confused. Now I knew the "Other" side, and its not so amazing after all, I bet the chicken thought the same way too, because the chicken decided to cross that damned road, thinking it would have a better life in the "Other" side.
This "Other" side seemed empty, even if it was full of souls, waiting for their justice to be served. I've seen them, just dead, pale skinned, glowing, all in despair, hoping to be back to the world or the heaven or hell that awaited them. That's the weirdest part of it all, there was no heaven or hell that was waiting for you, no golden stairs nor burning furnace, all was the souls, waiting for their judgement. No one knew who served this "judgement", all they know was there's a voice that you must wait for, it may take hours, days or even years. Only you can hear it, then the voice will give you the judgement, they say this judgement would either let you enter heaven or hell, they say the voice was God.
There was a lot of souls, dead people, praying to God, then I realized that I should too. I was and still am a believer of God. During those moments I had a stronger feel for it, for him. All of them had a stronger faith for him. I looked around, there was also some who didn't pray, there was some who walked around the endless streets, there was some who just sat in a bench, there was some who just cried. Some talked to themselves like they had lost their mind, some shouted, some just stayed quiet. I had no idea where the location was, but there was still buildings, streets, street lamps, around us, it lacked people though, people who lived. There was only us, those who died. Nobody can actually distinguish who just entered this world, this purgatory, all you would see, is that there's more and more of you appearing as well as disappearing. No one knows how long you would stay.
Some decided to communicate with me, asking me how I hit the dirt. Some of them reacted the same, saying that they were sorry for me, and I just replied I was sorry for them. Some told me the story of how they died, and I listened, then in that moment I realized that there are a lot of varieties of dying, not just getting shot three to four times. Some of the people had families they wished to return to, some had relationships, some had jobs, but it was for certain, everyone in that world wanted to return to the living, because they left something or someone behind. Even the old, would like to have another chance at life, they all wanted back to life, so they may correct what was wrong, but the reality of it, there was no chance of coming back, you served your time, you had your chance, that was it.
I took a deep breath and prayed. I don't know how long I would stay here, but I did know that I left a lot of things behind, for crying out loud, I left my whole life. I am here, to atone for my sins, in a world that no one understands, waiting for my God to pick me up. I know that I had died, in a moment my life taken away. God, I would do anything to get my life back, to tell my partner that I'm fine and going to be okay, to tell my remaining family, my brother, that all is well and to tell sorry that I disappointed him, to feel the sun shine once again, to feel the night's breeze, to love, to live. All I have for now is regret, all I have for now is judgement and justice, all I have for now is the "Other" World.

Why the cloud?
Many small businesses might question "why use a cloud based accounting software?" Well, put simply, the cloud makes your life much more efficient and flexible. The big advantage of cloud based systems is having real-time data at any moment. Being able to access real-time data will help you make better business decisions. Speaking of real-time, multiple people can be working in the same file and see real-time updates that each other are making. On top of that, your software will update automatically when upgrades are available. Meaning, no more black-out periods for your IT department to perform routine maintenance.
Another great advantage of cloud based systems is the elimination of version control. No more saving multiple versions of files – creating disorganization and sometimes costly mistakes. The cloud saves your work automatically. Furthermore, there is no need to backup files. The cloud has everything backed up for you automatically.
Isn't data entry so boring and time consuming? It sure is! If you agree, you should move to the cloud. Cloud based systems allow you to upload or link to live feeds (i.e. bank accounts) which pull in data automatically. Data entry is drastically reduced or eliminated in cloud based systems. This means less time spent doing mundane work and more time to grow your business.
Mobility and flexibility! The cloud is powered by the internet. Wherever you can find an internet connection, you can access your data and work. Being able to see your cash balance, current financial results, or outstanding bills from anywhere 24/7 will allow you to run your business from anywhere at any time! This leads to greater flexibility in your life.
So what are you waiting for? Get with the times and implement a cloud based accounting solution to improve your business and your life!

Did You Know
By: Raymond Powell
Time has arrived for the "Farewells and Goodbyes" to be said for the three story brick jail on the northwest corner of Franklin and Adams Streets in Mansfield, La. The old jail has served DeSoto Parish and surrounding parishes well for almost one hundred years. It is no longer used or needed and the Police Jury has decided it is time for it to be torn down because its cost to repair for use would be prohibitive.
However, back in the day bids were opened to build the jail on June 7, 1916 by L.V. Cook, President of the Jury but all bids were rejected since they were too high. Lots from Jenkins and Henderson had been purchased for the new jail and bids were offered again and on Aug. 3, 1916. President Cook and the Jury accepted Corbin Bros. bid and the jail was accepted as complete on July 17, 1917. Corbin was a master courthouse jail builder having settled down in Mansfield and had built the John Blanchard house for his family's residence.

"The Truth her Great-great and Great-great-great Grandchildren Would Not Perceive": An Interview with Jill Stukenberg
Jill Stukenberg, a graduate of the MFA program at New Mexico State University, lives and teaches in Wausau, Wisconsin. Her stories have appeared recently in Devil's Lake and Burrow Press Review.
Her story, "The Lady," appeared in Issue Fifty-Five of The Collagist.
Here, she speaks with interviwer Keaton Maddox about religious inspiration, inter-generational connectivity, and fiction founded in reality.
You capture very well the plight of immigrants trying to make their way in America with little support or help (other than what they believe is helping them from the divine). What kind of research did you conduct in order to capture this difficult way of life so accurately? And once you learned the necessary history of these circumstances, how did you translate that into the formation of this piece?
Thanks. This was definitely a different story for me to write—I usually write about contemporary life. But here's some unveiling, which will probably reduce the magic of the story: I was drawn to the material from an actual New York Times article read over my breakfast cereal one morning about the formal papal recognition of a 19th century Virgin Mary sighting in northeastern Wisconsin near where I grew up and where my extended Belgian immigrant descendent family still lives. So there's a lot of the story right there, which came to me through unintentional research. I was taken with the story, though, because I'd never heard of the little shrine, though once I started asking family members they all had stories, for example of crawling on their knees to the shrine, of people leaving crutches there. When I began writing, I started with the contemporary descendants reacting to the national news of a miracle connected to their own family (my first ideas are pretty imaginative, huh?) but then I became more interested in the idea of someone else living at the time and hearing the news of the vision. What would that be like—that the Queen of Heaven made a visit to your neighborhood, but not to you? I realized I'd have to do more research, which I had mixed feelings about. I wanted to keep the people I was creating at the center, but I also didn't know anything about them or the details of the visitation. I started reading more about the sighting and that led to some reading about Belgian immigrant life at the time, mostly just on websites though. I had this idea that I wanted to be loose about it. I just wanted details that appealed to my imagination—cholera, carrying shoes to town. Even up until the end (final editing for The Collagist) I had the story set in the wrong season because I liked the images of high summer and the feeling that it would have been hot when Mary visited. But at the last minute I begged the editor (thanks again!) to let me change those details; suddenly it seemed to me that the story should be more anchored in the historical fact that it had been October. Still though, there's some research I have never done: I've never been to visit the shrine. I understand there's a large parking lot to accommodate all of the visitors now—that made me not want to go there while I was writing.
The Lady herself seems to represent a large swath of different ideas for each of your characters, even if that representation only assumes mere skepticism for some. What does she mean to you personally, and how did that vision play out in your world creation process?
I guess the fact that I had never heard of the little shrine, while my older, baby-boomer relatives had as children made pilgrimages on their knees says a lot already about the cultural and generational viewpoint from which I was writing. I was raised Catholic, though I didn't choose to confirm, and I later chose a Jesuit university, though mostly because it meant going to a big city—for me, Milwaukee! So I'm not religious, though I have had some Catholic education and I do find religious ideas, including the idea of Mary making visitations of her own —like a First Lady on tour—interesting. And as a writer, I hope I'm not insensitive to mystery.
Your story emphasizes intergenerational connection and the importance of lineage in context. What was your goal in establishing such distinct familial pasts and futures?
Those things sprouted in the story because of my own family history. Though even my great-grandmother was born here, my mother is still a "full-blooded" Belgian, and she has nearly fifty cousins, many of whom still live around Brussels, Wisconsin. If we need an electrician, interior decorator, or city councilman we call up a cousin. One reason the notes of modern family members stayed in "The Lady," though, is because it balances out—or perhaps illustrates the weight of—the miracle. If the Mother of God makes a visit to someone (or even someone's neighbor), it had better toll through time, right? It should rank up there with the most outstanding events of any family history for generations to come. Another reason it's there is because it's the other, if more quiet, miracle of the story that any pair of settlers, like Tellie and her husband, did survive, and that what resulted from their gamble to cross an ocean and have children in a dangerous place are hundreds of people driving around in cars and reading newspapers online at their breakfast tables. By the way, by comparing that to a miracle, I don't want to say that European colonization was unquestionably good or reflective of divine will, just that it is miracle-like in its hugeness to think of how many lives, with all of their stories, can result from one pair of humans and their one choice (plus maybe some luck, magic, grace, or what have you).
What are you working on now?
I'm working on a novel set in northern Wisconsin, though in contemporary time. There's a mother and a teenaged daughter who live at a fishing resort, and a visiting grandmother who may have kidnapped the "grandchildren" who are with her, with a plan to lead them into the Chequamegon National Forest.
"The Lady" is also part of a collection of short stories mostly set in the upper Midwest, and I'm seeking a home for that book. So if you know anybody interested…
What are you reading?
Vacationland, by Sarah Stonich, a novel in stories set in northern Minnesota. I keep going back to it with the intention of studying it, and then just get distracted again by the characters and sentences and place. It's really outstanding. Also, The Sixth Extinction, by Elizabeth Kolbert, which is nonfiction and yet also completely absorbing. It is also, perhaps, leading me again down that dark path of toying with fact in my fiction. How many details of climate change can my novel set in northern Wisconsin include? Can climate change itself be a force, a character, as real and unreal as the Mother of God?

So one of the first things I said after riding the 2016 version of the ride was to come up with a training program for novice riders.
Tony said he would hold me to it and I think he was a little worried he may never see it once I climbed on a plane to Guinea but here it is.
Firstly some questions I asked myself constantly in between the expletives, I voiced!!
- Why are you riding are you mad, 850KM is a long way on a Bicycle!!
- Am I fit enough?
- Will I make it?
- What do I need?
- Will they wait for me, if I am too slow!!
- Why???
Here are the answers to these questions:
1.0. Because you become part of something very special, a family and a cause that will make a difference in this strife-torn country of ours. You will contribute towards making a difference to somebody's life, and albeit a small contribution, it could become a very big one when a talented youngster, who may not have become anything, goes on to achieve something special!!
2.0. Not even close to fit enough hence the program to make your ride a more comfortable experience
3.0. Yes I did on the minimalistic training I did. However it was painful and needn't have been. I had a wobble on the third day, but from there, you will just get stronger and stronger!!
4.1. A bike (racing, don't arrive with a mountain bike unless you really want to suffer; or are super fit).
4.2. Get decent kit, you will love those gel pants and yes they are expensive, but worth every cent you pay.
4.3. HAVE WINTER KIT, we went down to freezing conditions on day one and two.
4.4. Have rain kit, the chances are good you will get wet.
4.5. If you have two pairs of cycling shoes bring them.
4.6. Have decent gloves, make sure the cushioning is good I spent about 2 grand on a chiropractor sorting out a pinched nerve in my hand!!
You will receive a complete list, closer to the time but wear your kit in, don't put the pants on for the first time on the day you start. NB!!! CHAMOIS CREAM, it's an anti-bacterial, viscous substance that helps eliminate friction between skin and clothing, and therefore the chafing that can occur during a ride. It is a bit cool in the morning, but it was the first thing I did before I got dressed, and it was well worth it.
5.0. You also need a good sense of humour, this is essential and you will lose it on occasions, but with the help of your fellow riders, you will find it and have many, many laughs and funny experiences along the way. Starting every day, with the "day before" report at breakfast!! So bring your journalist notebook to write down any funny experiences, or idiot occurrences, as only the strongest survive this!!
- Yes the other cyclists will wait, this is not a race, although there are a "couple", who don't understand this. You will always be given a decent rest at all the pitstops.
- Because you can!!!
So now I have warned you, this is a huge commitment!! So why not put a little effort in before the ride so it is a comfortable and enjoyable ride. If you are a bit portly, make an effort to shed 10kgs or more, remember when you buy a bag of dog food and how heavy they are to carry from the car to the kitchen, well you are carrying them all the way to Queenstown, so cut down over Christmas don't have that extra portion, cut sweet stuff to a minimum and improve you general health by ridding yourself of the unwanted Kg's. You will thank me for this tip.
Your Head
Start training your mind to accept that you will be in the saddle for most of the day and that the road map, may show down to Queenstown, (Tony will also tell you it's all downhill) but the supposed flat Free State isn't that flat. There is a gentle up gradient in the road for a large portion of the way or so my head kept telling me. Tony showed me on the road how positive thoughts help. When I was at the back, riding on my own with negative thoughts I wanted to stop, but when he or one of the other members of the team were chatting to me and I was positive, how much easier the ride became. Always think of positive things, how you will feel when you get to the end of the first day and what a great accomplishment that is, how stunning that lady was at the first guest house, how privileged you are to be out in this beautiful country of ours, how proud your family and friends will be!! Break your day up into stops, never get ahead of yourself. I looked up the day on my App on my phone and that can be terrifying, so don't worry about that. start with how nice it will be to have Jen's fruit cake at the next stop, how funny it will be to see a "newbie" fall off his bike.(Just make sure you are not that "newbie") that hot cup of tea, that's just around the corner. This Hill is tough but slowly, slowly I will conquer it, because I have trained and I am stronger than it, and it will not beat me, and before you know it you will be flying down the other side. There is no better view of new places than the one seen from a bicycle. You see, hear, smell and feel things you will never experience in the seat of a car. So be positive at all times!!! Ian will be waiting for you with that infectious smile and dented head of his. You will become one of his chickens and he will keep an eye on you!!
Current Training Status and Tour Goals
So where are you with your training? If you are a novice like me, start slowly by riding at least 3 times a week, by all means supplement this with spinning, but do not kid yourself that spinning will get you ready for this ride, it will not!! (I speak from experience) There is no supplement for riding your bike on the road. Find yourself a hill that looks daunting and make sure that at least one of your rides includes riding up that hill. Learn how to use your gears, they are a very important part of your ride as Tony showed Setu , Des and me. How do I learn you ask, find a group of riders in your area and ride with them, tell them you are a novice and they will show you the ropes.
So we know that we will be riding 850km and that the first day is 140km, the excitement and adrenalin of the first day and fresh legs, will get you through this fairly easily. The second day is only 60km, but I nearly packed it in, it was pouring with rain and there was snow on the Malutis, so it was freezing and the first day's ride was catching up with my tired legs!! The third day is 148km, for me day 3 was my Everest, but that was because I was not fit enough and we had two very tough days with rainy freezing conditions and head winds to contend with. I still believe if I had made it to Bethlehem with all the excitement of sirens and police escort I would have made it, but I did not, largely due to my negative mind set and not being fit enough. Your main goal is comfortable (a relative term) completion of the daily distance averaging some 24-30km per hour, that's riding time, remember you will stop every 25 km or so. Some days will be faster and others slower, depending on the difficulty of the day. The first three days are the toughest as after that you are more used to being on the bike for long periods of time, the countryside becomes more interesting and your legs are getting stronger. It is by no means cake walks from there so don't think that once you are through the first three, that it is over – there are still some pretty long rides and mean hills ahead of you, but nothing that you will not be able to handle.
1ST Month (October)
For the first month get out there and ride 3 times a week do 30min -60 min and then on the week-end try and Ride for 60 to 120 mins, building it up slowly. Supplement this with spinning for cardio and weight training, if you are a member of a gym, concentrating on your core (stomach, yes that flabby thing that used to be flat) this will be the most important area and obviously leg strength which will help you up the hills. Remember ride that hill, if you have one nearby, you will thank me if you can handle Hills there are some "nasties" on this ride and if you are well trained for the Ride it will be a piece of cake.
2nd Month (November)
More of the same, the majority of us are working people and your midweek rides will never go much longer that 45-60 minutes mainly due to time constraints, but over the week-end you can build your week-end rides up from 120mins to 180mins
3RD Month (Dec)
So it's almost Christmas and you will be going on leave, there is a public holiday so you will have a bit more time to train, if you are staying at home for Christmas then you can do more rides as the traffic will be lighter, better yet ride to work and back!! If not keep up the weekly 45-60 minute rides and then on the week-end build on the progress you have been making and go out for longer rides 180-240mins obviously you will want to spend time with the family, but take advantage of the hols and get that stamina going and that butt used to spending longer time in the saddle. Experiment with drinks and food and find out what suits you and more importantly what does not agree with you. Taper off over Christmas and enjoy the festivities, but not too much remember the dog bags!!
4th Month (January)
Right! Make the resolutions to ride at least 4-5 times a week, keep the weekly rides to an hour and over the week-end 180 to 240 min. Increase the longer rides if you are feeling stronger, ride with groups and get the feeling of riding in groups. "Parletones" (or more common definition Peletons, from French, originally meaning 'platoon', is a group or pack of riders in a road bicycle ride). Riders in a group save energy by riding close (drafting or slipstreaming) near (particularly behind) other riders.) Riding close is the operative word and if you can get this going you will save lots of energy and get your ride over a lot quicker, however you have to concentrate because the last thing you want to be responsible for is causing an accident so practice a little while riding with your mates.
5th Month (February)
Only 28 days to train and they will fly by and it will be March before you know it. Now would be a good time to taper off before the final push so ride three times a week and cut back your weekend rides to 120 -180 mins. Put the time in on your speed, try and ride a little faster than you are used to so if you are in a peleton you can handle it and don't get blown out of it within the first 5 km. there is nothing worse watching it go away from you and there is no power to get back, or you kill yourself trying!!
6th Month (March)
This is the big month try and ride your bike as often as you possibly can, try to up your daily ride to 75-90 min a day, but critical in this month is to up your tempo and get used to riding fast. This will make the actual tour speed feel relatively easy. Do those big hills, work that body so that you are tired and wondering why you started this ridiculous idea, you will thank yourself, because you are putting miles in your tank for next month and will feel strong even though your legs are not thinking so at the moment!! On the weekend build a little more every week 4 hour then 5 hours and culminate you training on the 24th of March with a whole day outride, include some hectic hills, get the family involved ride out to a favourite picnic spot and get them to second you. Find out what it is like to ride for a whole day, okay 5-7 hours. Please make sure that you only stop in safe places, where nobody is likely to be hit and always ensure your safety, when riding out on the open road. Nobody wants you to get injured.
7th and Final month (April)
You have done the hard work now it's time to keep the training going and taper off towards the start date. Just go out for that spin and keep it to 3 rides max, get excited and motivated. You are well prepared and you are going to have the best two weeks culminating in a braai, and this will be an experience like no other and when you ride onto that Rec, you will tear up and be amazed at what you have achieved. You will be fatter than when you started, as you will never stop eating on the ride. THE COOK-SISTERS WERE TO DIE FOR!! The Crunchies divine, the fruitcake a lifesaver. You will have Highs and you will have a couple of lows, but they will be minimal because you have prepared so well. Good Luck and Enjoy!!

Like a homeowner, then you probably wish to go rested from the dull appearance of one's house. You'll likewise select renovating your home with a fresh house painting style and layout and style. Below are a few useful hints you could embrace to get dwelling painting transition and design in 1 time to the following.
The cosmetic painting is the Expression utilized to refer into this Approach to painting your house or apartment with all the using these steps like sponging, stamping, stenciling, and also utilizing the exact ragging styles to your walls directly beneath the bottom coating. These plans allow one to make a brand fresh atmosphere to your house and elevate the air within a formerly dull and necessary place. This item is so much easy and hard to do.
Sponging is performed via using some foundation of this paint mainly since the paint supply on the walls is so equally quite both irregular and rough hence. Therefore, a feel visual appeal is made. This can be a popular idea to embrace especially if you're getting to make utilize of a darkish paint jacket to your bottom because things you want to appear is using this milder color of these present colors over the walls of one's residence. The impact you would like to generate will be already current of one's option.
In case You Would like to choose layouts and be more imaginative together along with your Home painting layout, you can make utilize of the procedure called stenciling or stamping. That is one technique that's chiefly embraced by most family members. The plans of stenciling or stamping present about some controlled layout that enables the look of the background layout over the coat. An excellent benefit for the is the pattern or design that you'll make will consistently fit the decoration which you may need to apply for this entire year. That you don't will need to develop into an outstanding artist to do backgrounds which are amazing. All you have is always to learn more about the depths of one's imagination.
As You Might Think about the transition That Will to be more Embraced by your seasonal property painting style and layout and style of one's taste, consistently come Up using a vibrant, vibrant, and glowing collection of hues particularly in the event that you'd like that an Abrupt transition out of sunlight from spring or summer. The Optimal/optimally summer Colors Include the yellow, green blue, along with other earthy colors. They possess the caliber to produce an all-clear impression of warmth in your residence.
Painting Your Home
In the Event youownpaint Distribution Particularly Store near you Personally, Then They Really Ought to be the very first quit. Without a stress, perhaps maybe not requesting to purchase paint. I only wished to benefit from those pain pros within this shop. Who knows, you might just purchase your paint too. The entire strategy is you are searching to get a paint pro who's likewise an interior designer. Bring images of your inner like a trimming, your home household furnishings, drapes and flooring. Make it possible for them only just a tiny artistic independence to select colors which can be fresh and contemporary. You might be happily astonished.
Here really is actually the procedure we went on to find that the Colors are home ought to be painted. In all honesty, I was not overly sure in regards to the colors of this inner designer picked in the beginning. I finally made a decision to pick the can up of every single coloring picked and only take to. I used to be surprised. The moment I set the remainder of the outfit round the hues it sounded fabulous. In my own estimation, it truly is well worth an attempt.
Everything you picked your own colors, another step would understand just how to correctly paint your walls. Contrary to popular belief that really is catchy. To start, you need to decide on a primer to pay for exactly the paint. In the event you have background, look at getting rid of it prior painting. You may repent that added measure later on. I have already been inquired can it be rewarding to tint the primer along with also my own solution has ever been only in the event along with you placing the wall would be still quite dim.
Considering there is no background to become eliminated your own initial Step would be to scrub off the walls immediately. I would look at minding regions which have scratches or dents with just a tiny bit of bit of wall putty. After simmer for 2-4 hours, then gently sand. Then employ primer towards the entire wall socket. You have to double-check the guidelines in your own paint and primer to your own drying intervals. You have to maintain over the maximum and minimum drying period for every single jacket. In the event you attempt to counter overly shortly, then you still left coat. In the event you attempt and paint past the best drying period on jacket, the walls may bubble whilst the jacket absorbs water out of the coat. In any event it's a wreck. In the event that you are unable to paint the partitions over the drying days, then I would advise waiting before you may paint them commence off out complete.
If You Need a professional looking paint project, here is two Quick pointers for you personally. The very first trick would be always to cautiously cut off your own paint. To put it differently, avoid being cluttered we're paint against the boundary such as your own ceiling along with the trimming of one's place. In the event you need to be doing slop onto these different surfaces, then be certain that you've acquired the signature of paint to pay up that the moment it dries. In case the additional surfaces have been painted ago, also you also chose latex paint then you ought to be in a position to wash this up using a moist fabric. The upcoming tip is always to await the paint dry each jacket to get the maximum period. Subsequently very gently sand the wall having 150 or even 200 grit sandpaper. This will definitely take away imperfections amongst vases also that are what specialists would like to have this fantastic complete by North Pacific Property Management.
Therefore it is time to re arrange Your House for spring or also collapse, Look at painting your house and ensure it is look it's finest.

The University of San Diego's economic index set a record high for the second month in a row in February, forecasting continued economic growth through the end of the year.
Support Times of San Diego's growth
with a small monthly contribution
The index of leading economic indicators compiled by the Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate rose 0.7 percent in February. It was the 16th consecutive increase in the index.
"There is no change from the previously reported outlook for the local economy: positive growth in the economy at least through the end of 2018," wrote Alan Gin, associate professor of economics, in the report.
Measures of help-wanted advertising, initial claims for unemployment insurance, the outlook for the national economy, building permits and consumer confidence were all positive. The only negative component in the index was a decline in local stock prices amid the general sell-off on Wall Street.
But the report included some cautions about the future.
"While the short-term continues to look bright, both the local and national economies have to deal the long-run problem of shrinking employment opportunities due to improvements in technology," wrote Gin.
"The internet has reduced the need for employees in banks, travel agencies, retailing, and other industries," he noted. "Automation has already had a big impact on manufacturing employment and may impact industries such as restaurants, retailing, and transportation."
Gin said the long-term question for both the local and national economy is whether technological change will lead to new opportunities as has always been the case in the past.

Hello Hello!
My DH and I have been TTC for a little over a year now. I found out at the beginning of the month that I have PCOS and have not been ovulating. My OB put me on Metformin and sent me on my way. AF last visited on 9/24 technically meaning she is due today...Well, on 10/15-10/16 I had EWCM and went right to BDing. Yesterday I had some cramping and thought maybe it was my dinner not agreeing with my stomach. When I wiped after using the restroom I noticed that there was a very light pink spot on the toilet tissue. Not enough to need a panty liner... just a light pink/beige spot. This is the ONLY time I have ever spotted... it's either, I'm not bleeding... or there is a murder scene in my pants Could this have been implantation? Like I said, AF was due today and she never came. FX! <3
