We are calling you now to better understand your needs.
Angels on Arcadian - De Pere, WI
Angels on Arcadian - De Pere, WI has yet not published prices.
Care and Value
I toured this community for the care of my father. They were going to place him in the incorrect care unit and that would not have helped with his care. The community appeared to be clean, but the rooms were very small. The menu looked average.We would highly suggest that other families tour this community for the care of a loved one.
Not What We Expected!
The staff at the Angels On Arcadian are very friendly and kind to my loved one. She has made a lot of new friends with all of the residents of this community. My main concern with this place is the hygiene provided for the residents. She is not always clean. The community does not keep a record of the times they change the clothing of the residents, or when they take them showers. Also, the meals could use some improvement.
Angels Assisted Living goes beyond the accepted idea of assisted living by providing exceptional care in an environment that fosters dignity and independence. With beautiful facilities, a fully-trained staff on hand at all times, and programs to keep our residents active, Angels Assisted Living goes beyond merely providing basic amenities. We take our services to the next level for a simple reason: If it were our mom or dad, that's how we would want it.

If it seems like there's an endless to-do list around the house, you're not alone.
Sometimes getting things done is just a matter of knowing where to start, and that's where Lou Manfredini comes in. Here are his best DIY solutions for common home problems.
What can you do to prevent debris from clogging up your gutters?
Clogged gutters is a common problem that most homeowners face at one point or another. While there are professionally installed solutions, like SpringRock Gutter Guards, Manfredini has options that you can do yourself.
GutterStuff EZ 5-Inch K Style Foam Gutter Filter Insert, starting at $31, Amazon
You can easily install this foam filter into your gutters. It will help prevent leaves from collecting, but will still allow water to pass through. Just make sure your gutters are clean before you insert.
GutterBrush Leaf Gutter Guard, starts at $17, Amazon
Use this cylinder brush to clean out your gutters to prevent leaves and gunk.
How can you easily patch a hole in the wall?
Whether you moved a picture frame to a different area or accidentally knocked something into the wall, it's fairly simple to patch a hole in the wall without pro help. What you'll need is some prime spackle, spackle drydex, a putty knife, a wall repair patch, a bowl and some water.
Pro tip: Manfrendini recommends using a wet sponge to wipe the wall after spackling instead of sanding it, so that dust doesn't ruin the texture when you paint.
3M Patch Plus Primer Spackling Compound, $6, Amazon
This patch-and-prime spackle kit comes with a putty knife and sanding pad.
Dap Drydex Spackle, $8, Amazon
This kit includes a wall patch making it super easy to repair any holes.
How do you fix a broken toilet lever?
Your first instinct might be to call a plumber or handyman when the toilet lever breaks, but it's actually quite easy to change it yourself. Manfredini suggests using an adjustable toilet bowl lever to make things simple. That way, you don't have to worry about finding one that's the perfect size.
Korky Universal Tank Lever, $22, Amazon

6 Ways to End Summer Smiling
The remaining days of summer 2017 are within sight. So long flip-flops and sun-baked days on the beach. Farewell garden blooms and weekend barbecues. Until we meet again 9pm sunsets.
Want to squeeze every drop of sunshine out of your last final days - and create fun memories with family? Of course you do. And here is how to do it:
1. Backyard Camping: Hoist the tent, grab the marshmallows, bring a flashlight and slumber under the stars one last time. Don't forget the scary stories.
2. Food Tasting: Find seasonal produce at a local farmer's market or in a store that no one in the family has yet tasted. Find a few simple recipes, host a taste-test dinner event - and vote for the new family favorite.
3. Find Local Labor Day Festivities: Communities often take the opportunity to host family-friendly activities during this weekend. Explore and try something you've never done as a family. If you can - walk together to the event.
4. Fly Kites: March isn't the only month for windy days. Enjoy the sky and outdoors by building and flying your own kites. Kids will love their creations and you'll be able to play in the park one last time.
5. Eat Dessert Outside: Host a friends or neighborhood dessert potluck in the backyard. Connect again with those you care about before fall and school schedules kick into full gear.
6. Remember Summer 2017: Throw a picture slideshow together of family events during the summer or create a family scrapbook that you can look back upon when winter brings cold nights and dreams of shorts and swimsuits. Encourage kids to journal their favorite memories or moments of the summer. And then create a Summer 2018 bucket list. What are your dreams for next summer?
Have fun!
And always, Shine on. -Kimberly

The 10 Do's and Don'ts of Portrait Photography
Portrait photography is the most reliable way for photographers to support themselves.
From corporate headshots to school pictures to editorial spotlights, there's a wide range of portrait photography clients, giving you many opportunities to carve out a niche in your career.
Of course, nobody will want to hire you unless you can produce consistent results. While photography is as much an art as it is a science, there are some best practices to capture eye-catching portraits that only the professionals know about.
DO: Establish a rapport.
Being photographed can be one of the most uncomfortable sensations in the world, even for a professional model. For most, insecurities come alive when confronted with a large lens in their face.
The best way to open a portrait session is to be candid with your model: "The first 10 minutes or so are going to be a 'warm up' – we're going to adjust the lightning, try different angles, and just have some fun with it." Without the expectation to perform or nail the shot, your subject will loosen up. During this warm-up session, you can share details about your personal life or career to establish a casual connection with your subject. Try to speak slowly and consistently with a warm, enthusiastic energy while taking these initial frames.
Natural chemistry is important, but if you find yourself struggling to relax or encourage your model, consider sharing the occasional confidence booster every three shots or so. You can even liaise these in to repositioning your model.
- "Wow, your face reads very well on camera. Try dropping your left shoulder to keep your neck nice and long."
- "This is killer! Your eyes were perfectly intense/soft/relaxed/confident in that last frame. Let's try it once more, but this time, take a soft breath in on the count of 3."
- "I love what you're doing with your neck. Let's tilt your chin just a bit to the left."
DO: Pay attention to catchlights.
This is one of the oldest portrait photography principles in the book, but many new photographers forget about it entirely. "Catchlights" are the orbs or slivers of brightness in an iris. Instagram-famous photographers like Brandon Woelfel actually paint on additional catchlights in Photoshop to add more life to their subjects.
If your lights aren't positioned in a way that forces a catchlight, the subject will appear flat and dead. Catchlights are possible with a wide variety of lighting set-ups, but the easiest way to get a wide, open catchlight is to position a silver reflector just under your model. The bounce back from either artificial or ambient light will soften shadows, which is often desirable for portraiture. However, if you're going for a high-contrast, directional light look in your portrait, it's better to ensure that your key light hits the subject in a way that sparkles their eye.
DO: Consider a thematically appropriate prop.
Giving your subject something to do with their hands is the best-kept secret in the portrait photography world. A small bundle of flowers, a deck of cards, a baseball, a pen, a cigarette, a mug of coffee, or even a phone can add some authenticity and naturalness to your portrait.
This tip isn't appropriate for all portrait shoots, and it will certainly read as shoehorned if the prop isn't cohesive with the visual story of your portrait. But when it's right, it's right: not only will you create visual interest and a sense of animation in your photograph, your subject will be put to ease by having a physical outlet for their nervous energy.
DO: Shift your perspective.
The just-above-eye level, just-off-center is the old faithful of portrait photography, and for good reason – it's typically the most honest replication of how your subject looks in daily life. While it's important to nail this shot, you don't want your contact sheet to be nothing but variations on this perspective.
Profile shots can add an immense amount of character. Relaxing your subject's posture to the extreme can make for a much more honest shot. Standing directly over your model as they lie on the ground creates a palpably intimate photograph. It's okay to throw conventionally flattering perspectives out the window if you have a creative angle, but the best portrait photographers can do both.
DON'T: Let them stick to your pose.
When you give feedback on angles and pose, your subject can take them too seriously, becoming stiff and mannequin-esque. A model afraid to shift around or breathe during their session spells doom for your photographs: there's nothing more cold and awkward than an uncomfortable model trying to be something they're not.
In reality, your posing should only be a guideline, with enough room for your subject to shift and breathe in to a more natural, candid position. To make this clear, you must deliberately communicate permission for your model to move around. Try this phrasing:
"That's perfect. Now, try to stay within that general pose, but take a few breaths, roll your head, wiggle your fingers, and explore the feeling of the position while I take a few more frames."
DON'T: Go too crazy too soon.
Some of the most evocative portraits happen when you challenge your model to leave their comfort zone – but your model can't move out of their comfort zone if they were never in it to begin with!
If you want your model to jump in the air, over-emote emotions like anger or sadness, or contort in to a contrived pose, you'll need to take baby steps on the way there. Taking your time warming your subject up and establishing a legitimate connection is vital: your subject has to have confidence in your ability before they'll risk looking foolish. Furthermore, if you press for a "wacky" shot before they feel comfortable, you can disrupt the energy of the session and turn your model off, risking the success of shots you have yet to nail.
DO: Carve the jawline.
Peter Hurley's viral video said it best: the jawline is the most important aspects of a compelling portrait. High fashion models have a wide variety of facial features and body types, but a long neck and harsh jawline is ubiquitous. We aren't all blessed with glass-cutting jaws, so your best bet is to fake it. As Peter points out, telling your subjects to "bring their forehead towards the camera" for front-facing portraits or to "bring their ear to the camera" for side portraits cleans up the jawline and gives their face a defined, powerful look.
Aesthetic benefits aside, posing your subject down to the intimate details puts them at ease, giving them the impression that you know exactly what you're doing and how to make them look their best. Most people will silently beg for granular direction during their shoot, and the more you give it to them, the more they'll trust your skills.
DON'T: Be afraid to contextualize.
There are many different styles of portraits. As a portrait photographer, it's your job to take initiative and think outside of a typical headshot. If the responsibility of a portrait is to visually communicate the personality and story behind your subject, you have more tools at your disposal than a simple 3/4 headshot with a single colored backdrop.
Take cues from environmental portraiture (look to photographers like Anthony Kurtz for examples). The scenery and location of a portrait can tell a more compelling story than a minimal headshot ever could, so be sure to stage it in a way that makes sense for your subject. Oftentimes, your client's favorite photography from a session will be a shot of them in their element: holding their dog, sitting in their garden, or playing piano.
DON'T: Change angles without changing your light.
Whether you're working in natural light or a studio setup, a portrait photographer should be thinking of light above all else. When you have the perfect light in a photograph, it's tempting to keep your subject still as you rotate around them, taking frames at different angles. This would be a mistake.
When you reposition your perspective, you need to make sure the light is still hitting the way you need it to hit. If your subject is facing the light head on, a profile shot may be too contrasty or unflattering. Have them tip their camera-facing ear up, back, and away to elongate the neck, catch the jawline, and broaden the surface area of the side of the face, ensuring the light you loved from the front has the same glow in profile.
PS: It's not easy to maintain a relationship with your model, adjust poses, re-light, and ensure your exposure is spot on. Our friends over at PhotographyTalk wrote a comprehensive rundown of the best camera settings for portrait photography so you can set it and forget it.
DON'T: Rely on a shallow aperture.
The dreamy, 'f/1.2, tack-sharp eyes and blurry everything else' look is a popular way to isolate and flatter the 'soul' of a subject. A shallow depth of field also smooths out the skin, making harsh wrinkles and blemishes less distracting. But a shallow aperture is only one look in a portrait photographer's arsenal.
Sharpness and focus should be thought of an an artistic decision. Stopping down to f/8 ensures everything from the tip of the nose to the back of the hair will be in focus, as well as any sort of scenery or context you've included in the frame. Remember that a photograph is made up of three parts: the foreground, the middle ground, and the background. A truly masterful portrait leverages all three depths, and a stopped-down aperture is the best way to capture the full range of visual interest.
With all these lessons in mind, here's the truth: there is no such thing as a tutorial for good portrait photography.
Portrait photography is an artistic pursuit. Your style, aesthetic sense, technical ability, and relationship-building skills will improve with every photograph you take, and they will eventually become reflexive and subconscious. Think of the above lessons as shortcuts on your way there.

We were literally just bitching about how sucky it is working in the animal field, but dude... I miss it so much hahaha I feel like there's been this huge gaping hole missing from my identity and I don't care about the money... I just want to be involved again. Plus I got Suga Daddy Jake to support my deadbeat ass ;) Haha! Just joking!

You are going to be amazing in 2016 and I cannot wait to see and hear about your new adventures! I know you were feeling a little anxious before, but not to worry! You're smart and super qualified for any job you could ever want :) I'll keep pestering Jake so he keeps me well informed and I will internet stalk you for the rest of that info and keep checking youtube for that video you owe me... :D bahaha Just joking! I will post extra Carl pics, just for you. My Parents "hate" cats but they're carrying him around like a baby and buying him toys left and right. Also, I spent the night at a friends house and they face timed me so Carl could say "goodnight".
Hit me up anytime Francesca! I can't tell you how much it means to me that you and Gregory stopped by my blog :) Miss you guys! Talk to you soon!!

You are such an amazing person with a huge heart! You know what, even though you have only been blogging for a month, you are WAY ahead of the game! I should pull up some of my posts from just a little over two years ago... They were HORRIBLE XD I was so afraid to share any photos of myself too and I was afraid to talk about anything at all but after a while you just stop caring so much. I was always extremely afraid of getting cyber bullied (I was bullied in Highschool) so It kept me from doing a lot of things, but you'll realize soon that there are so many kind and supportive people out there who just want to see you succeed and grow as a blogger and person :)
I am so happy we can be school buddies! We can suffer together because I think I have a little less than 2 years at this point myself haha. So, I don't have a lot of advice because I am terrible with time management and blogging while i'm invested in school. I mean look at me, I had 3 days off class so far and havent posted in two weeks XD However I WILL tell you that if you schedule EVERYTHING as in relaxing time, friend time, school time etc, you will find that there are chunks of blogging time here and there. Also, I make a plan for the posts I want to feature and when I have free time I shoot them all in one day (if possible) and space out the content through out the week. Let me know what tips and tricks you come up with! Happy Friday Ana, you are amazing :) Rachel Grayhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656785744538912506.post-53512941053803214642016-01-22T23:32:08.692-06:002016-01-22T23:32:08.692-06:00Thanks beautiful :) I really appreciate you taking...Thanks beautiful :) I really appreciate you taking the time to read my story!

I know Jake and I will always find a way while we long distance, but this entire time we are just working on making ourselves better for when we meet again :) oh my GOSH I had no idea you guys were long distance for that long! I gotta ask how you did that! You are both truly amazing and I can tell your love was worth waiting for! I am so happy for you two, that is seriously such an amazing feat to accomplish! I am seriously so inspired by you guys. Thank you so much for sharing your story, I know it's only 1 year or a little more, but it will be just fine in the end :) I hope you're doing well beautiful.

I'm really stoked that you're going back to working with animals! It takes a lot of courage to continue that journey and be transparent about it despite the experiences that you've had. Congratulations for taking a step in a direction that you feel is right for you. I'm very glad that you have such an understanding and supportive family (particularly Jake and Carl) in your life.

2016 will also be a challenging & surprising year for me as I am also taking a step into the unknown, which is a scary thing, but I'm confident that we will get to places and be happier in the end! :)

I'm really excited to hear more about your journey and look forward to seeing you with Jake and Grego when you come visit!

Let us know if you need anything! I would be happy to cat-sit Carl over the internet. teehee :P

I think that is amazing that you share all this with us, the things that are happening in your life, because its not easy. I've been blogging for about a month now and I am very insecure about posting my pictures, let alone share my feelings. I really appreciate that you're letting us into your life. I think you made the right choice, it's amazing to have support from your parents, and you should accept it. Trust me, once you're done with your Biology degree, you will not regret it. Besides, with those glasses and hair you are ready to rock school! Please do keep me updated about everything, and if you need someone to talk to, you can always count on me (really). I'm currently 2 years away from finishing my Marketing degree and it's been filled with ups and downs, now that I'm back to school from winter break i'm finding it so hard to blog, but it's something that I really like, so I'll have to find a way to make it work, have u got any advice for that? :) Send Carl my love (that little guy is such a cutie).

Always wishing you the best, Ana

As a self-defined beauty beginner, I can't help but be in awe of all the wild beauty moments from the NYFW SS19 runway.
This year, all rules went out the window. Remember when blue eyeshadow was a big no-no? That's a thing of the past. The thick eyeliner of your scene-phase has gotten its chic revitalization too. Glitter? Put it everywhere. Lids, nails, you name it. Plant life made its way into NYFW on the heads of plenty models as well, whether it was in the form of gorgeous floral blooms or leafy green extensions.
Click through the gallery below to see all of our favorite beauty moments from the shows of NYFW SS19.

Shohei Ohtani will be placed on the disabled list with a grade 2 sprain of his right (pitching) ulnar collateral ligament, the Angels announced Friday.
He underwent a platelet-rich plasma and stem cell injection as a form of treatment Thursday and will be re-evaluated in three weeks, according to the team.
Ohtani, 23, was removed from his most recent mound start with what manager Mike Scioscia described afterward as a blister problem, however Friday's news appears far worse for the double-threat rookie sensation.
However, a fellow Japanese pitcher, Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka, has dealt with a similar injury and has been pitching with it for several years now, so it's possible Ohtani could work his way back without major reconstructive surgery.
The team will also monitor his practice reps to get him ready for the regular season, which kicks off Sept. 9 against the Bengals.
Luck was seen throwing for the first time in months last Tuesday as the Colts began mandatory minicamp. He missed all of last season after undergoing shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum in January 2017. Reports initially suggested he would be ready for the 2017 opener, but his return was pushed back after he suffered a setback in practice and he was shut down for the season on Nov. 2.
Given Luck's history, it's clear why the Colts are exercising caution.
Curry, after he was relayed James' thoughts, said, I agree with 'Bron.
A former Ohio State and Chicago Bears offensive lineman has been charged with felony assault of a police officer.
Charges against 33-year-old Kirk Barton were filed after his arrest outside the Bogey Bar & Grill in Dublin, Ohio.

Dude, where's my election results?
After an anomalous problem-free election last year, it looks like last Thursday's contest will add a new story to GUSA's illustrious history of election scandal. From the election commission to candidates and campus media:
Hi all,
The Election Commission has received several inquiries and complaints about this year's election. In order to follow up and investigate each claim adequately, the Election Commission has decided, in accordance with the Student Association by-laws, to delay the announcement of results until early next week.
The Election Commission has no further comments at this time. We will contact candidates individually with any questions.
There was no indication of what the complaints were about, but smart money says they at least partially involved the labyrinthine ballots that required students to keep track of ranked votes for all eight tickets. We'll keep you updated.

Our Festival Edit
We love nothing more then good tunes, great company and heading to a local festival!
With Coachella coming up in Southern California, and Bluesfest, Groovin the Moo and Splendour in the Grass around the corner in Australia, we thought we would pop together a little Festival Edit just for you!
By now your outfit is probably sorted, but have you picked out your accessories? We have the accessory edit for you and everything you need to bring! And if you're missing out on all the festival action, we've created our ultimate festival lineup playlist for you to get grooving to at home!
First up, it's all about the bag! Swing around one of our must have, best seller, Macrame Bags! Available in black or white, the perfect addition to any outfit, and room enough for everything you need on the day!
A hat is a must at a festival to protect your face from those harsh rays. We love the range at Anthropologie, especially these straw visors.
Our Travel Towels are an essential for when the sun starts to go down. Lay it out and listen to some tunes and give those legs a rest! Lightweight and oversized, they're versatile and easily foldable to fit in any bag. Or pop it into one of our Leather Carrier's and swing it over your shoulder.
Whether you're camping at a festival or staying nearby, you will definitely need the below items from GOOP.
1. A stick sunscreen that you can throw in your bag for regular top ups throughout the day. This one is SPF30 and glides on sheer and seamlessly with organic coconut and acai extracts to hydrate and smooth skin.
2. These Eucalyptus Towelettes will become your new best friend. Disinfecting yet still gentle on skin, they will come in handy for those sweaty dance offs and emergency situations at the portaloos, and they smell amazing! You don't have to tell us twice about the benefits of Eucalyptus!
3. Texture powder (dry shampoo). Dust a little of this (a little goes a long way) into the roots of your hair and not only does it cleanse, but it gives hair texture and volume for that perfect 'undone look'. With a blend of Eucalyptus (maybe we're obsessed) and cleansing clay minerals, this powder smells amazing and is the perfect, throw in your bag product. You can thank us later!
the sunglasses
We are never without a pair of sunnies, and we are loving the varied shapes and colours on Revolve right now. The below styles from Ray Ban, Karen Walker and Quay tick all our boxes!
The day before
Last but not least, the tan. Start with an exfoliant to remove all dead skin cells. French Girl Sea Polish is formulated with Atlantic sea salts, nourishing butters, botanical extracts and essential oils leaving your skin silky smooth and prepped for your tan.
Our go to tan right now is Elle Effect. Created and perfected by Australian style icon Elle Ferguson, the tan is a velvety mousse, lightweight and easy to apply for beginners and experienced tanners, and as a bonus it smells like roses!
Speaking of Go-To, Zoe Foster-Blake has answered a lot of our prayers, when she released the Sheet Mask. The mask is serum-drenched that transforms regular skin into amazing, glowy and luminous skin, an essential when preparing the skin for an event and even better the morning after when your skin needs a little love.
If we could put together a festival line up, it would definitely look a little like this! Enjoy x

Recently moved to the Bendigo area, I have two mini lop bunnies.
I looked up vets around Bendigo and found the white hills animal hospital and had a pleasant experience.
One of my bunnies was due for a checkup and calci virus booster. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I booked an appointment and when I got there they held the door open for me (my one year old was in the pram). I filled out the paperwork and went straight in. I didn't have to wait at all. They treated my bunny and gave me a little chart/booklet to keep her vet visits up to date.
I'll definitely make the white hills animal hospital my regular vet clinic. A very pleasant inexpensive experience.
Just adding I also got a welcome letter in the mail a few days after my visit that was a very nice touch to an already outstanding service!

COLLEGE STATION (AP) - The following reports were compiled by AgriLife Extension for the week of April 19:
SOUTH PLAINS: The region received from 1 inch to 8 inches of rain. Although there was temporary flooding in low-lying areas, the rains came just in time for wheat and cotton producers. Most producers had land prepared and were very happy to see this rain. Days were cold with moderate winds. Soil-moisture levels were adequate to surplus. Wheat was in fair to good condition and continued to mature. Pastures and rangeland were expected to be in excellent condition for the next couple of weeks. Livestock were in good condition and expected to improve with the increased forage.
PANHANDLE: Soil-moisture levels were improved by 0.5 inch to 5 inches of rain. Many counties reported record or near-record amounts of rain for April. Wheat looked good, and the rain was particularly welcomed by dryland wheat growers. Reports of insects were few, but weed control was still a problem in some areas. Some producers started to plant corn, but they were stopped due to rain and cooler temperatures. However, as the soil temperatures rise back up to the mid to upper 50s, the rains will help with the remaining corn to be planted. There should still be plenty of soil moisture for silage and sorghum when planting begins near the end of April. Pastures looked good as spring growth came on. Livestock producers were winding down supplemental feeding of cattle.
CENTRAL: Most of the region received a needed rain that was expected to help wheat head-fill, kick-start corn and get cotton up and going. However, topsoils were quickly being dried out by high winds. Rangeland and pasture conditions improved. Cattle were putting on weight and cows were estrous cycling. Hay producers were fertilizing.
COASTAL BEND: The region received good rains and more was forecast. Growers nearly finished planting row crops and rice. Some rice was flooded. Livestock were in good condition. Pastures continued to improve as forages responded to warm temperatures and rain.
EAST: Some counties received light rains, but much more rain was needed to keep soils from drying out. High winds removed much of the existing soil moisture. Despite the lack of rain, producers in Nacogdoches County were able to begin harvesting their first cutting of hay. Livestock were in fair to good condition with producers still providing some supplemental feed. There were some reports of insect problems on fruit trees. Feral hogs continued to be active.
FAR WEST: From 1 inch to 5 inches of rain fell. Farmers had made their first alfalfa cutting of the season and had hay on the ground when the rains came. Cotton and chile planting was halted because of the rain. Onions were at 7th leaf stage and have begun bulb formation.
NORTH: The region had beautiful weather, the best of the year, with warm temperatures and sunshine. There has been active soil preparation, planting and gardening all week and rains got everything off to a good start. Soil moisture was adequate to surplus. Winter wheat was 20 percent headed and in fair to good condition. Rangeland and pastures were in fair to good condition. Corn that was planted was emerged and in fair to excellent condition. Sorghum was in good condition with 40 percent to 100 percent planted, depending upon the county. Soybeans were 90 percent planted, and all rice was planted. Producers began to cut ryegrass hay. Strawberries were developing well, and peaches looked good. Feral hogs continued to be a major problem in cropland and pastures.
ROLLING PLAINS: The region received as much as 5.5 inches of slow, steady rain in some areas. The rains helped replenish topsoils, which were beginning to dry out. The moisture also helped wheat and oats. Some wheat began to head, but most was just going into the boot stage. Cotton farmers were gearing up for planting; they have a positive outlook thanks to the recent moisture. Grain sorghum was being planted. Pastures were greening up, and producers were fertilizing hay fields. Some producers were still spraying for weeds. Rangeland and pasture conditions were improving daily. Livestock continued to gain and maintain good body condition scores. Stock water tanks were full. The peach crop looked good.
SOUTH: Soil-moisture levels were adequate to surplus throughout the region. Some areas received slow, steady showers with accumulation of 2 inches to 6 inches and even as much as 10 inches in some areas. The rain put a halt to field activity but benefitted crops overall. All wheat and oats were 100 percent headed. Corn was in good condition and 100 percent emerged. In the northern part of the region, most sorghum and cotton planting was finished. In the eastern part of the region, cotton, corn, sunflowers and sorghum were well established. In the northern part of the region, corn, onions, sorghum and cotton showed good progress with little insect pressure. The wet conditions halted cabbage harvesting, and early planted wheat reached maturity. Pecans produced an abundant canopy in response to the heavy rains. However, too much rain did cause some problems, said AgriLife Extension agents. In the southern part of the region, producers were concerned about the delayed harvesting of onion and sugarcane. The citrus harvest was finished in that part of the region. As for livestock, the rain was a blessing. Stock tanks were full in many areas of the region, and rangeland and pasture conditions were improving.
SOUTHEAST: Low soil moisture conditions were alleviated by about 1 inch of rain in most counties. However, constant 10-15 mph winds quickly dried tilled soils and pastures. Corn and sorghum were in need of moisture. Cool-season grasses and legumes remained productive. Cattle bloat was reported in some areas. Haying activity continued. Winter annuals were flowering or producing seed.
SOUTHWEST: From 2 inches to 5 inches of rain fell, bringing the year-to-date cumulative rainfall to about 1.8 times the long-term average. The soil moisture profile was full, and the region looked good. Wheat, oats, corn, sorghum, cotton, onions, potatoes, pickling cucumbers, cantaloupes, watermelons and other spring vegetables were making excellent progress. However, high humidity increased incidences of rust on wheat and diseases on vegetables. Forage availability was above average. Livestock and wildlife made full use of the improved forage availability. Growers continued harvesting of cabbage and spinach. The broccoli and carrot harvest was nearly completed, and the spinach harvest began to wind down. Peanut planting was expected to begin in early May. Fruit and pecan fruit set was excellent.
WEST CENTRAL: Temperatures cooled, and many areas received a much-needed rain, which will help with cotton planting in May, said AgriLife Extension personnel. Soil moisture levels were good. Farmers were spraying for weeds and fertilizing. Wheat was doing very well, except for some areas having problems with mustard weed. Growers began harvesting wheat in some areas. Corn began to emerge. Small-grain, hay and forage planting was well under way. Rangeland and pastures were in very good condition with grasses and forbs growing well. Wildflowers were abundant and beautiful. Livestock were in good to excellent condition. Growers were preparing to spray pecans as trees budded out.

Why Interview magazine are wrong about wheelchairs.
I'm not going to vilify Kylie Jenner for using a wheelchair in a recent photoshoot for Interview magazine. I am sure that she was sold the concept by Steven Klein and the team at the magazine, and would have been convinced it was a good idea. She won't have had advice from any sensible person who might have recognised that this was possibly not the best plan. Attacking her personally almost legitimises the feature, in which she talks about how she constantly worries that people are making negative comments about her. This was the reasoning behind the entire story of the shoot, "placing Kylie in positions of power and control" and "to unpack Kylie's status as both engineer of her image and object of attention."
Fame is not a disability. My illness stole my future, and Kylie Jenner has no idea how that feels.

Many events occur on the Cultural Plaza in the LULA district, like the Earth Day Peace Jam, planned for this Saturday or the appearance of the Taiko drummers from Tampa this last Saturday. Many months ago there was a tree festival event on the Cultural Plaza, I purchased a raffle ticket, it didn't matter what for as it was to support their cause, well, I won. Gave it no thought and tucked away the envelope, misplace the envelope, it resurfaced just this past week. It was for Downtown PizzaNow I've heard via word of mouth that they were the best. My guest loves pizza so we went, not quite sure they would honor this old ticket. They did with a smile.
So many pizza pies to choose from, kept it simple. Watched with amazement at the skill of my pineapple and ham pizza pie spinning. Yesterday evening I passed these very attractive slim ladies with their massive order, one per pie. Asked to take their photo, they declined. 🙂It pays to support your local community merchants and restauranteurs as they in turn support the special events in our community. Thank You it was delicious loved the crust! This from someone who doesn't even eat the crust of a normal pie.

Thicket Labs and our new report with Chinatown Youth Initiatives on the value of after school programs are featured in Fast Company today! We spoke with Jess Leber about our work, and the new data visualizations and analytics we created for the project.

text: What do your communication skills look like? Do you consider those you are communicating with? When there has been miscommunication, are you quick to make it right? How big a priority do you make it when there is strife in a relationship? Apparently Jesus believes that it is important enough that He would rather that we deal with it than go to church. I didn't say it, He did... For this reason He said, "Leave your gift at the altar and go be reconciled with your brother. After, return to offer your gift to God." (Matthew 5:24).

Heidi Klum drops hint about her 2016 Halloween costume
Heidi Klum is the queen of Halloween and the "Project Runway" stunner just dropped a major hint about this year's Halloween costume.
The 43-year-old star showed off a picture of her costume (so far) and it includes white over-the-knee boots and a Star-Wars-looking white leotard with silver detailing.
She teased in the photo, "First fitting for Halloween ..... Hmmmmmm........ what am I going to be this year ? Can you guess !?!?!?!?!?!"
We don't have any guesses yet -- other than it looks a bit like a storm-trooper -- but if we know Heidi, this is just the first layer of what will likely be an extremely elaborate look. In previous years, the German-born model started with a base of a costume and transformed it into something completely unexpected.

After spending 52 days living in the wilderness, I finally came back to my hometown of Burnaby. I was shocked by how different my lifestyle was in the city compared to how I lived in nature.
One of my adventures was an eight-day, 135-kilometre solo hike on the Sunshine Coast Trail. One day on the trail, I began to experience upper back pain after walking nine hours with a 40-pound backpack. I continued to keep my spirits high by singing for the bears and hoping that there will be people at my next campsite.
However, when I made it to the campsite, there was absolutely no one there, which made me a bit upset. I went swimming right away anyways. I later began cooking my dinner with frustration because the yellow jackets kept trying to sit on me. Eventually, I just gave up on walking away from the biting insects and just let them crawl on me.
It was then getting late and it was time to go to the forest to hang my food from the bears. I kept trying to throw a rock with a rope attached to it, over a branch but instead I kept missing and failing. I started losing hope.
After two hours, I finally got it.
Completing my errands improved my mood right away. I came back to my tent ready to sleep. I sat there and calmly watched a snake slither past me and begin swimming in the lake. I was empowered by the thought that at the age of 21, I could officially survive alone in the forest. For the first time in my life, I felt at peace being far away from civilization. I felt like I can do anything I want in life and I do not have to wait for someone to do it with me.
For my next trip, I spent a month canoeing and rafting on the Fraser River, from Mount Robson to Vancouver with the Sustainable Living Leadership Program. I was very fortunate to spend time with 14 people who were passionate about sustainability.
Every day we had a routine. We would wake up and go collect wild berries to put into our oatmeal. We then packed up and got onto our canoes and rafts, where we shared our life stories and sang harmonically. Occasionally, we jumped into the river to swim, seeing bighorn sheep, grizzly bears and eagles staring back at us from the shore. In the evenings, we got to eat dinner with the communities along the Fraser River. Then we skipped setting up the tents and just slept under the stars all together. I felt connected being a part of this supportive community.
Entering the city, I began seeing an increasing amount of garbage, fisheries and industry along the river. The city was overwhelming. There were all these people who all had these devices called "phones." I was tempted to say hello to the people, but I was not sure how to get their attention. I felt like a displaced animal. The cars felt too close to each other. Everything was fast and fighting for my attention. I was tempted to pick up every piece of garbage I saw.
The city had a lot of single-use products that were disposed in large numbers every day. The lifespan of a paper coffee cup is five minutes, meanwhile it took 100 years for the tree to grow to produce the paper to create the cup. I returned to a place where people were not finishing their food, water was being wasted, and untouched food was being thrown away. Even though I was surrounded by people, I began to feel isolated. I started checking my Facebook in the morning, just to get a sense of connection.
This was all a big contrast to my backpacking trips, where I carried only the essentials, every drop of water was conserved, every bit of food was licked clean from my plate, and each plastic bag was re-washed at least ten times. There were no cellphones and no advertising; just me, living in the moment. I awoke to smiling faces as opposed to Facebook.
Fortunately, I came home with a purpose. For the river program we had to create a project to execute in our home towns upon returning. My project will be creating a series of short films about my adventures.
I hope that by sharing my stories, I will inspire others to be mindful about the resources they use, and for youth like me to be inspired to pursue experiences in the natural world. Spending 52 days in wilderness taught me that happiness is found in the simplicity of just being alive and living in the moment.
Sasha Makhneva is 21 years old and a resident of Burnaby who took part in the Sustainable Living Leadership Program, created to teach participants how to become sustainability leaders in their communities. During this program, the participants get educated about the Fraser River ecology and environmental issues by actually traveling along the entire river by canoe, raft and a small amount of shuttling. The program helps participants to create and execute a project in their communities that would inspire sustainable living.

Refugee Rights: Processing Suspension Breaches International and Domestic Human Rights Law/
The Human Rights Law Resource Centre has published a Joint Memorandum of Advice from three leading barristers (Debbie Mortimer SC, Chris Horan and Kathleen Foley) in relation to the lawfulness of the suspension of the processing of asylum claims made by Sri Lankan and Afghan nationals. The detailed opinion concludes that the Australian Government's policy is unlawful under international and Australian law. The policy – and persons acting under the policy – are susceptible to challenge in the Federal Court of Australia and the High Court of Australia. A complaint could also be lodged with the United Nations Human Rights Committee.

By Our Reporter
Nepal is likely to lose 37 million dollar solar plant project funded by the World Bank due to corrupt officials at the Nepal Electricity Authority and a decision of the parliamentary committee to instruct the NEA to scrap the deal with contractor.
The project which should have implemented 18 months back has not been implemented yet when the NEA delayed to award the contract. When the Parliamentary Committee on Public Accounts smelt rat in awarding t the contract and investigated into the matter only to find faulty procurement process.
The World Bank in February 2015 had agreed to provide $130 million to build solar stations to the government to supply electricity in the Kathmandu Valley and reduce electricity leakage. Out of that amount, $37 million was earmarked for installation of solar plants at Devighat and Trishuli of Nuwakot district.
Although solar plants' installation was supposed to be completed within a year of signing the aid agreement, NEA took around two years to award the contract, as the entire contractor selection process was dragged into controversy.
Previous NEA managing director Mukesh Raj Kafle had unilaterally decided to hire a Chinese company to build the project. After the Chinese contractor was deemed "technically unqualified", new NEA Managing Director Kulman Ghising decided to hand over the project to Raijin Energy.
Kafle had granted the contract to the 'unqualified' contractor with a hope of receiving more commission. But his greed is likely to cause the withdrawal of the project which will be key to address the problem of power outage if implemeted.
But Ghising was barred from hiring Raijin, as a complaint was lodged at the Parliamentary Committee on Public Accounts stating the construction cost of Rs.3.7 billion proposed by Raijin was Rs. 680 million more than the cost proposed by the contractor favoured by Kafle.
NEA Chief Ghising said the project is likely to be abandoned as the World Bank is highly unsatisfied with the time overrun. "Now, the project will go ahead only if the government decides to build the project on its own," said Ghising.

Another one of Khloe's exes has spoken out about this big news...
After reports emerged that Kim Kardashian West had officially hired a surrogate to carry her third child with rapper husband Kaye West AND little sis Kylie Jenner, 20, was expecting her first with rapper boyfriend Travis Scott, the last thing we expected was a THIRD member of the Kardashian-Jenner crew to be pregnant…
But shortly afterwards, sources announced that Khloe Kardashian was also pregnant with her first child.
Yep, we couldn't believe it either.
And now Khloe ex-boyfriend French Montana has spoken out about the news…
'Congratulations to her,' he told The Blast. 'She'll be a great mom.'
Despite neither confirming or denying the pregnancy news (yet) the 33 year old recently said on Keeping Up With The Kardashians that she would like to have children her basketball player beau Tristan Thompson.

'I mean, I really don't know. I honestly wish we could just be together. When you make plans, God laughs,' she said. 'Tristan and I within the next 70 years we will hopefully have kids together. And if not, it'll just be him and I clubbing it up, rosé all day, living life on a yacht.'
See: Kylie Jenner And Khloe Kardashian Post Selfie Together Amid 'Pregnancy' Speculation
While Khloe is living in Los Angeles, boyfriend Tristan lived in Cleveland and the KUWTK star opened up about their long-distance relationship: 'For the past eight months, I have been basically bicoastal,' she told her family members.
#It is gruelling, but I like being in Cleveland – it's a much simpler life, and I actually love it and crave it. I go to a lot of basketball games. It's very [much] like my old life.'
Fingers crossed that Khloe speaks out about the 'baby' news soon… The suspense is too much!

After getting home and a glass of vino rosso down the hatch, I decided I had to make light of the 'spring' weather we are experiencing and not complain like I just did in the preceding paragraph. Luckily little miss BEE had a link to {my style pill's} blog on her post. Not sure where I've been...well, I take that back. I've been in The Cubicle, where they have stripped us of any and all things fun (i.e. blogs, Facebook, Twitter -- blocked, blocked, blocked). How have I not seen this blog before?? As much as I wish I could turn the snow spigot off and the sun dial WAY up, I have found solace in Christine's winter outfit posts, which have opened my eyes to a whole new world of wardrobe combinations. Here are some of my favorites that I plan to emulate ASAP:
Her 'How to wear'(s) might be my favorite. Love seeing all the outfit possibilities in one post:
Amazing pops of color and effortless layering:
I have a lot of these items so added the below to the 'Outfit Inspiration' folder:
Although this isn't classified as winter-wear, it's just too perfect not to post:
I only allowed myself an hour of browsing before closing the computer for bed but fully intend to take a deeper dive this weekend.

Franlize Fourie and John Gentz organise and sponsor an additional community project called Neighbour2Neighbour where they help connect residents and local businesses with elderly folk in our area who need occasional help and assistance. This is now integrated into our Our Mothers Our Fathers campaign of quarterly food hampers.
Through Neighbour2Neighbour we can connect a local business eg a hair salon who is prepared to provide a free haircut to a needy elderly person. Instead of paying for the haircut, we are able to give that local salon valuable free marketing in our CapeTownSouth.co.za community directory.
We will connect with local community organisations to find such volunteers and identify elderly people in our community in need of support and assistance.
What to do if you are a local business who wishes to donate a service?
Please email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Please describe (a) what service you are able to offer (b) and any terms and conditions and (c) your contact information
What to do if you know of an elderly person in Plumstead or Diep River area who needs assistance?
Please email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Please describe (a) what service you or someone you know needs and (b) your contact information
Please note we are in the process of developing the Neighbour2Neighbour database.
For any service or product, we need to match the elderly person needing the service with a volunteer service provider.

The Evolution of Abortion
This paper is an analysis of abortion: practiced procedure and modern methodology.
This paper looks at how abortion methods and practices have changed over time. The author discusses the abortion pill, RU-486, other non-surgical means such as Methotrexate-Misoprostol, and the costs for various types of procedures. The paper also looks at the times when it was not so easy, or legal, for women to terminate pregnancies.
"The concept of abortion has entered the twenty-first century no less of a controversial issue than it was when it entered the twentieth, for the question of its legality and morality is still hotly debated by both advocates and opposition. The methodology of abortion, however, has entered the new century surrounded by a sense of safety, sterility and sensibility unprecedented in previous years. Women of the twenty-first century, however, should not forget the fact that what is currently condensed in a handful of pills represents over a hundred years of persistence and perseverance. It is a legacy long in coming and laced with lessons learned and boundaries broken."

I haven't been around cars much to know how this works.
I haven't been around cars much to know how this works.
Generally takes two to three years to go from concept to sale.
The FRS/BRZ took longer.
A few google hits confirms my memory of learning the FT86 concept was going into production and be named GT86 in November 2011. (Disclaimer: It may have been "announced" earlier, without me taking notice.)
I test drove a GT86 in September 2012 and ordered one, after a second and third test drive; in October and took ownership February 14, 2013. And a glorious day it was :-)
So what I want to know is:
1. Will the SFR go into production?
2. Will it come to Norway?
3. When can I test drive one?
The 86 was rumored in 2007. This S-FR was first discovered in about June 2015 when Toyota bought the copyright for the name S-FR. But the concept has been talked about in Japanese magazines since about 2012 from memory.
1. Most likely.
2. Too early to tell, at this point it's still up in the air on actually releasing them in Japan.
3. When they produce them. So pr
late 2017 to mid 2018, if the fast track it (which it looks like it they have somewhat) possibly mid 2017
It's good to see your enthusiasm, but the easiest answer to your question is:
This car is still a concept, the earliest it will be released in Japan is 2018.
It may become a global release, but that is not 100% certain.
Toyota may wait and see what the response is like here in Japan.
My guess is, earliest coming out will be 2019.
Balance is everything
With Toyota's new TNGA platform system, I believe things will move much faster since the platform doesn't have to be engineered from scratch. The pre-engineered pieces of the platform just need to be lego'd together. The engine is already in production for a corolla somewhere on the planet, it just has to be tuned for this application. The interior of the "concept" looked pretty close to production too. Nothing too futuristic, just average materials with hexagons cut out of them.
The CH-R that was on stage at the Tokyo motor show at the same time, needed to add 2 more doors to the design and I don't recall an interior on that car. The production version for that cars is being shown in March 2016 at Geneva. With no significant changes needed to be made to the S-FR, technically it's already ahead of the CH-R in terms of production timeline.
My assumption is they are fast tracking the CH-R to get reach a production goal for fall 2016 , and the S-FR in time for spring 2017. The relevant seasons for the type of vehicles they are.
This gives me hope!!
I was looking at how long it took for some other Japanese cars to go from concept to production.
Suzuki Hustler -
Concept - 2013 Tokyo Motor show
Production - Approx March 2014
Time: Approx 6 months
Honda S660
Concept - 2013 Tokyo Motor show
Production - October 2015
Time: 2 years
Nissan IDX
Concept - 2013 Tokyo Motor show
'Production confirmed' - January 2014
Cancellation confirmed - May 2015
Time of death: 1 year and 6 months
Toyota 86
FT86 Concept - 2009 Tokyo Motor show
Production - unveiled October 2011, first deliveries in April 2012
Time: Approx 2 years
(n.b. there was an FT-HS concept preceding the 86 in 2007, but it was radically different, with a hybrid V6, and commenced prior to Toyotas acquisition of Subaru, the project started again post subaru involvement. And the GFC happened).
Toyota FT-1
Concept - 2014 (January) Detroit Motor show
Production - ??, will be many many years if it ever comes into existence
Honda NSX (2nd gen)
Concept - 2012 (January) North American International Auto show. 'Confirmed' by CEO in 2007, then cancelled, then revived, first genuine concept was the 2012.
Production - Unveiled January 2015, but you still can't buy one until late 2016?
Time: 3 years, or 4+ years, or 9 years, depending on your perspective.
Toyota S-FR
Concept - 2015 Tokyo Motor show
Production - ???
So it seems likely that if the S-FR is going to be built, it will be unveiled in production form by October 2017. I would assume they won't tease it as much as supercars like the the NSX and FT-1.
Also don't forget that Toyota is going to stop production on all Japanese cars because of a very real steel shortage. I'm not sure how that affects R & D or other operational deadlines but if this thing was to be built, it's going to be after they start production of cars that were scheduled to be built to be built first.
