It is hard to believe that BirthMom Buds has been hosting retreats for 10 whole years now! I, for one, am very grateful for the presence this group of women have had in my years as a birthmom, thanks to the founders Coley and Leilani. The theme for this year's retreat was a celebration and it truly was a celebration during the retreat. We celebrated our founder's friendship that lead to so many other friendships forming and, of course, the love we have for our children that bonds us as birthmothers.
The retreat itself started on Friday, but there were a bunch of us who arrived through out the day on Thursday to meet and greet each other and get acquainted with Charlotte before the activities started happening. The weather upon arriving was gorgeous, perfect for our get together. Thursday is always pretty low key, so upon the suggestion of Melanie, we decided to have dinner at a lovely restaurant called Dish. The food was amazing, and the setting was very homey. Perfect! Afterwards, most of us capped off the night with a trip to the Melting Pot for some chocolatey goodness!
Friday morning was pretty relaxed as well. Since our festivities didn't kick off till later in the day, a few of us went to get manicures or pedicures, while others opted to get massages. We all pretty much did our own thing in little groups until the Pajama Party Mxer. The food, which was delicious, was provided by The Hilton where we were all dressed up in our pajamas for the pajama party. We had a selection of meatballs, egg rolls, cheeses, fruits and more. Delicious! When we were done eating, we were pleasantly surprised by an adorable dance intro by Lani and Coley (mimicking how Ellen dances into each show) followed by an even cuter Hashtag skit Jimmy Fallon style! (This is the year of the hashtag after all!)
After the skit we played really fun, quirky games. My favorite was How to Spell Your Name...With Your Butt. It was hilarious and really fun for those of us, like myself, who have absolutely no dance skills. We also checked to see what we all had in our purses, and played a fun game seeing what we could remember about another person when we were back to back. We also had some yummy cupcakes once again provided by Gigi's. Yum!
After that, we all got changed and did different things for the night. I, personally, went swimming with a few friends and then we finished the night getting some munchies at Buffalo Wild Wings.
Saturday we had an early start on the busiest day of the retreat. Walking into the room, I saw that it was decorated with fun hot pink, orange, and yellow party decorations for the occasion. As usual, the handmade center pieces and fun touches didn't go unnoticed! Throughout the day we enjoyed hearing the fun facts on Coley and Lani's friendship, how BirthMom Buds and the retreats came to be, how their logo was designed, and the Bible verse that lead their vision: Ecclesiastes 4:0-10.
After our early morning welcome, we split into our always awesome breakout sessions. I (Leah) lead one on Coping with Grief and Anxiety, while Amanda A. lead a session downstairs about How to Cope with an Adoption that Suddenly Changes. During the second session, Amy S. lead a group Navigating Relationships as a Birthmom while Terri G. spoke about Boundaries as a Birthmom.
Then it was my personal favorite time of the day: craft time! This year we made birthday date books using a page for each month to remember special birthdays. Each month was already printed with lines on photo paper and hooked together with a ring; our challenge was to decorate the plain cardboard front and backs! For some, decorating came easily and for others it was a challenge indeed, but they all turned out beautiful and will be useful.
Our lunch was a delicious meal of grilled chicken, steamed vegetables, pasta salad, garden salad, fresh potato chips, and sandwiches. The cake provided by Desserts byDebolt was phenomenal. I had the carrot cake and it was the best I have ever had! After stuffing our bellies and mingling with our new and old friends, we headed outside for the annual balloon release. We each had written a note to our child, or for whomever we felt the need to send a message up into the sky for, and tied our pieces of paper to the string. After a prayer lead by Lani, we released them to go wherever they go. It is always a touching moment for many ladies attending!
Once back inside it was time to settle in as we were surprised with guest speaker Patti Hawn (Goldie Hawn's sister!), who is a birthmom who placed back in the 1950's when it was a very closed and hush-hush era for adoption. She spoke of her reunion with her birthson 40 years later and has written a book based on her experiences called, "Good Girls Don't," of which she read several moving passages from as she told her story. We then were able to ask questions and get to know her heart more, as well as get signatures and take pictures with her!
Next, we heard more from Coley and Lani as they spoke of how their friendship began and how it has lead us to today. The monologue they did of how they first reached out and met over the internet was heart-rending and I know we could all relate to their loneliness that sparked their bond. It was wonderful to hear the behind the scenes of Birthmom Buds and their friendship!
Following that excitement, we watched the 2014 Slideshow and then had the candlelight ceremony. As each woman lit the candle of the woman next to them and said a word in honor of their child, it lit the darkness of the room and the darkness within our hearts that many of us face. Those traditions can be filled with emotional moments, and that certainly was true for me this year. It is so good to know, and see, that we are not alone!
After a few hours break, whether to nap or have some one-on-one chat time back in the hotel rooms, we had dinner at BlackFinn as we did in 2013. Once again, it was wonderful food and company!
Each year the group grows in size at the retreats, it is amazing to think of how many lives BirthMom Buds has touched over the last 10 years. I look forward to another 10 plus years of BirthMom Buds Retreats.

Guns silenced as Obama prepares
The last Israeli troops are withdrawing from the Gaza strip as we speak after Saturdays ceasefire. Speculation is rife as to the political timing of the entire war as many link both the upcoming Israeli general elections and today's presidential inauguration with the chronology of the conflict right up to the hour of Obama's swearing in. I'm not sure how true all of this is but I hope 1300 did not lose their lives over mere politics. Look out for a detailed upcoming post where I review the entire war and attempt to forecast its political ramifications. In the meantime I'm off to watch what is beginning to look like the coronation of a king.

Do you believe all the wonderful things he said? All the hype?
I have a thought.
The US is pretty much the British Empire of our time. Many nations have a certain distaste for the US.
It seems to me, althought it is a great step forward having a "black" president in a white house built by black slaves, that this could be, in part, a well thought, and so far very successfull, ploy to boost foreign opinion of the US. God knows they need it.
Many of his promises were directed at foreign policy, to rebuild US relations with a world at odds with they recent foreign policies. In the 8 years of Bush's "reign of terror" a lot of damage was done. Obama hopes to undo the damage. But as we all know, it takes longer to heal than to hurt.
Can Obama really put right US wrongs? Is being black enough? Will his promises come to fruition?
Mildly relavent is this message Jenny (an Irish girl living in the Bible belt) left me this week about an incident she witnessed over there. A bunch of youths pulled up beside a homeless man on the street, opened the window and threw a handful of change at the homeless man shouting "There's the change Obama promised you".

Very very interesting. When you say that the whole Obama phenonomen may be a "ploy" I have to ask by who. I'm not saying you're wrong but I don't think its deliberate. Having said that I'm sure when the democratic delegates were considering who to vote for they had Obamas appeal to the world in mind.
I will say this. The American people have been very uncomfortable with the idea of being so unpopular around the world in recent times. They are in fact quite needy really. They have to be liked. And a black man with a Muslim name was an automatic winner with many because they knew he would be popular globally.
"Can Obama really put right US wrongs?" Obama will always put American national interest first, there will be no difference in this respect. However I have been following him closely in recent times and I can tell you definitely has a very different view of American power and how it should be applied throughout the world.
Aido man, That story with Jenny is crazy. The American right hate Obama and all the liberal ideas he stands for. Just check some of the right wing blogs on my blogroll under "blogs I read"

Had a look at some of the blogs, really are unreal. Some people are so passionate arn't they.

Jean-Pascal Flavien/
I work with dinosaurs in an intuitive and obsessive way. What most interests me about them is the fact that they allow me to think and to create, and this is what I hope to bring to my work. They arrive in my mind because they come from another world, one which is totally foreign, totally outside the rest of my work, and my life. In fact they continue to represent a world that is always far removed, or rather, it is a foreign world, which is permanently re-enacted.
Their nature of being their own fully-fledged world, gives me the chance to revisit all my working methods and, as well as to re-envisage an architecture particular to their nature that the modes of exhibition is inspired by a temporal structure specific to their appearance. In this, each intervention, drawing, or sculpture, is an attempt to make a stranger out of oneself to the point of our own exclusion. This is a world without us.
Their invisible nature, or rather the fact that nobody has seen them and only fragments or vestiges of them still remain, allows me to realise spaces where nature of visibility itself is a mix, and to take into account the non-visible volume as much as that which very visibly floats on the surface. Whilst admitting at one time the very living side of what we cannot see, of this world which becomes for oneself. Drawings become the tools through which one sees and creates the interior of one's space, in order to deepen it. Nature gets thicker, deeper and becomes detached from the finite world, by constituting a large mass similar to the unconscious mind. This mass is complex, stratified, shifting, blind, actively on the move. Within this mass, it is possible to make cuts and also to create surfaces or maps, either temporal or spatial. It is the colour red, which appears, and, as it is applied through a filter of our own world, it makes us into the stranger. The orange is a red.
The installation at the Gallery Ghislaine Hussenot: The first part, which is a physical experience, is made of one volume on another volume (the mezzanine). Together this comprises a pyramid. These are the 'blind volumes'. Then, there is a camera which filters everything one sees in red. And there is this image, independent of its source, an image of a cut, of cells in which modulated depth decreases to the point of disappearance. In these cells, drawings exist for themselves.

David and Goliath
He was young, but he was brave. He knew that God protected him from the bears and lions that tried to steal the sheep he was guarding. One time he killed a lion and a bear with his bare hands. Although Goliath had a suit of armor, all David had was a slingshot and five smooth stones and his shepherd staff. King Saul tried to get David to wear armor to protect him, but it was very heavy and David had never tried to fight with it on before. So he left it behind and trusted God: he will deliver me out of the hand of the Philistine.
When Goliath saw that the Israelites sent a boy to fight, he made fun of them some more. Then he told David he was going to rip him apart and feed him to the birds and beasts. David answered bravely and told him God would get the glory. Wow! David gave a testimony right on the battlefield in front of everybody. In 1 Samuel 17:47 it says And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands.
Now David didn't have a slingshot like you may think. It wasn't a Y-shaped stick with a rubber band between it. It was a rope with a small pouch on the end and you would wave it around in a circle to get the speed you needed to release the stone. When Goliath came at David, he didn't get scared and run away. He went straight at Goliath. He took out a smooth stone from his shepherds bag and placed it in the sling. Then he slung it at the giant and hit him squarely in the forehead. The stone had been a mighty weapon after all. It went into his skull and killed Goliath. Then David went and took Goliath's sword and cut off his head. That scared the Philistines so badly that they ran away in fear and were chased by the Israelites out of the land.

Welcome back once again to the pulpit of Springsteen.
Song: Backstreets
Album: Born To Run
I've often believed that Springsteen is one of the great poets of our time. Webster's Dictionary defines a poet as someone of, "great imaginative expressive capabilities and special sensitivity to the medium". Additionally, they define poetry itself as, "writing that formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness in language chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through meaning, sound and rhythm".
If both definitions are accurate, then Springsteen and Backstreets can be include in any poetic library.
Like Thunder Road, this is another song whose every lyric is a reminder of the kind of poetry that is uniquely Springsteen. Every line, every word is constructed in an amazing message of youth, love and loss.
The Professor, Roy Bittan's, masterful opening piano draws you in and refuses to let you go. The opening verse……
One soft infested summer
Me and Terry became friends
Trying in vain to breathe
The fire we born in
Catching rides to the outskirts
Tying faith between our teeth
Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house
Getting wasted in the heat
And hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
With a love so hard and filled with defeat
Running for our lives at night on them backstreets
Backstreets has taken on special meaning for Bruce on many occasions. He opened his first show following organist Danny Federici's death in 2008 with this song. People have also interpreted this song in many ways, from former girlfriends to special friendships in his life.
Slow dancing in the dark
On the beach at Stockton's Wing
Where desperate lovers park
We sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
Huddled in our cars
Waiting for the bells that ring
In the deep heart of the night
We let lose of everything
To go running on the backstreets
Running on the backstreets
Terry you swore we'd live forever
Taking it on them backstreets together
T.S. Eliot once said, "if we understand something the first time, it can't be much good." Springsteen's lyrics are often that way. They force you to listen or read them again and allow you various forms of interpretation.
Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
Where famous dancers scraped the tears
Up off the street dressed down in rags
Running into the darkness
Some hurt bad some really dying
At night sometimes it seemed
You could hear the whole damn city crying
Blame it on the lies that killed us
Blame it on the truth that ran us down
You can blame it all on me Terry
It don't matter to me now
When the breakdown hit at midnight
There was nothing left to say
But I hated him
And I hated you when you went away
HIs final verse is probably his most heartbreaking and one of the best he's written.
Laying here in the dark
You're like an angel on my chest
Just another tramp of hearts
Crying tears of faithlessness
Remember all the movies, Terry
We'd go see
Trying to learn to walk like the heroes
We thought we had to be
Well after all this time
To find we're just like all the rest
Stranded in the park
And forced to confess
To hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Where we swore forever friends
On the backstreets until the end
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets…
So enjoy what many critics and fans like myself believe is part of any top ten Springsteen song list.
See you on the Backstreets

Internet RUG CAMP on RUG HOOKING DAILY/
Heidi Wulfraat on Rug Hooking Daily has just announced the launch of an INTERNET RUG CAMP on RHD. I seriously think that this INTERNET RUG CAMP may change the face of rug hooking, making instruction and projects more accessible for people who cannot attend on-site rug camps. The last time I looked there were already three rug camp classes posted, including Phyllis' MERIT PROGRAM (Hooray!), a sketchbook class with Heidi (Hooray!), and a palette dyeing group that I will facilitate. I think that more are to come very shortly.
Heidi lays down the ground rules as follows:
All of our "camp leaders" will be facilitating projects, challenges, or instruction with the intent to share their skills and the love of rug hooking with others. Activities within the RHD "camp" will be free of charge. In other words, Rug Hooking Daily will not form any profit in association with Rug Camp. there cannot be a fee to join a camp group. members of RHD are welcome to join any or all CAMP ACTIVITIES which can be found in the GROUPS section of RHD Please remember that camp projects are meant to feature our facilitators. These folks are working voluntarily, for your enjoyment so be kind and supportive. Check them out on-Line. Get to know them. Facilitators can agree to check in on a class / activity once a month, daily , etc..... The aim of "Camp" is simply to encourage and to spark the imagination and creativity of the entire community.
Check out the camp groups that are already forming and consider joining those that inspire you. If you are interested in leading a camp workshop or other such activity, contact Heidi on RHD or e-mail her (email@example.com). Here is the link to sign in to Rug Hooking Daily if you haven't already but would like to join the 1360 rug hookers who belong to the network. It's a great way to share your rugs with others, meet new friends world-wide who love rug hooking, and participate in instructional and motivational groups and challenges.
Can you tell that I'm excited?!

It's space reconnaissance. The new Gonzo—robot journalism, the only downside
is the lag in delivery. A super-teched-up tin can on a string, garbling pictures
instead of words. Let's play telephone. I'll start: When I talk to your mother
everything sounds like it is underwater. Or maybe I feel like I'm drowning.
Or maybe she feels like she's drowning, and has, since she left
Germany for small-town America and young motherhood
for a man who was always gone. Maybe she looked up
to the stars in their shared sky and felt an arm around her shoulders
and a hand pressing her head beneath the waves, maybe
she's been sending you signals the whole time Voyager 1 hijacked gravity
from one planet to the next, slingshotting Jupiter—Saturn—Neptune—
a rock skipping ripples in the bayou until the edges of the universe unraveled
like an apology, like maybe someday, and the only thing left to do
was throw herself into the unknown next—
Sometimes the story changes. It's a game of telephone
where your mother starts: My daughter is a stranger with my face.
Chuck Berry changed the lyrics of Johnny B. Goode
from colored boy to country boy so white people would play it on the radio.
The snapshots captured by Voyager 1 take a full year to arrive
back on earth. New moons, there in grainy print like postcards.
Enigma exposed. Voyager 1 almost didn't get off the ground
on launch-day. A fuel-tank 3.5 seconds from empty on a rocket-thruster
made sure the aliens could hear our rock-and-roll.
Let's play telephone in space. Chuck Berry can start:
Maybe someday your name'll be in lights.
Only some of this is true: You go home. You fight with your brother.
Your mother sends a letter choosing sides
and we're on an island watching the stars with no telescope.
Maybe the house they built on the closest thing to a hill
in Leesville, Louisiana, isn't a home. Maybe it's an observatory.
Maybe it's a launchpad. Maybe it's where you go
when you are finally ready to leave something behind.
Our wedding is a picture returned a year later.
She lays a hand against my cheek and calls me beautiful
and looks at me like I'm far away, squinting through the convex glass
of her spectacles like an astronomer looking for new patterns in the sky.
Her compliment is loud and easy to overhear, crooned
so it will bloom round and large in my ear. Just like ringing a bell
and gone as quickly.

Just in case you haven't noticed I think it's cold… soooo cold! Morning walk had fog everywhere from the warm water against the cold air:
Work today and my berry bar @ work:
note me being silly with my berry bar and btw I said "Hi"!
After work I went straight swimming for an hour, came home and had this for lunch:
a spicy salami flute with parmesan and a 'Bread' salad… which I have never had I am not sure if it's french but it was peppers, spring onions, tomatoes, chicken and roasted bread pieces. The bread pieces were probably roasted in trizillions of fat but seeing as the portion is not very big I don't think it's that bad and it tasted good!
After lunch Daisy and I went along the Isar but only a shortened version taking 45 mins:
a cleared up path along the Isar River walk and a meeting of ducks (waiting for some bread to be thrown in!) in the Isar and here you can see that the River is quite low (as the papers keep saying there is a drought no rain for 35 days – apparently!) and here you can see lots of the stones which you don't normally but it's not that low!
Then I was feeling very sporty and despite the COOOLD (have I mentioned that before!) I decided to go for a bike ride but I was too cold to stop and take a photo, the ride took 1 hour 15 mins and when I got off my bike I nearly stumbled as my feet were so cold I couldn't feel them!
Then piano lesson time and I went shopping whilst my daughter was there – an advents calendar and salad! Great combination eh!
When I got back had a snack – 1/2 a brown olive bread roll with butter, marmite and cheddar cheese:
So you've guessed it my dinner was the salad I had picked up during the piano lesson:
The 'Paris' salad which is goats cheese, salad, peppers, grapes, walnuts and bean sprouts and the other half of the brown walnut bread roll with butter and it was goooood!
Daisy and I went for a walk for 30 mins after dinner and now it's time to read, so TTFN!

Why In Good Company
We're practical and passionate
There are two sides to us. There's the practical side which provides end-to-end administrative and financial support. Then there's our emotional side, which brings a passion for what we do and what we can do for you.
We believe our emotional side gives us an edge and allows us to give you more.
We make life simple
Companies engage us because we're specialists. We're experts and know that we're exceptional at what we do. We take away the pain, deal with the things that keep you awake at night and allow you to be completely focused on your business.
We're the enablers, the team in the background helping you make it all happen.
We want to do good business
We believe that doing business should be mutually enjoyable. We love what we do. We're always stimulated, challenged and feel privileged to do what we do. And we love working with companies that have the same values and aspirations as we do. When this happens we get the best out of each other and both of us become more competitive and profitable.
This is what we believe partnership should be all be about.
We do what it takes
We believe that working hard and passion go hand in hand. What we promise to deliver is delivered. Not at all costs, we all need a life, but we never let our clients down. That's non-negotiable. Our dream is to create the best systems, the most practical and functional financial processes and to get everyday business done. You're the visionaries, the creators, the producers, the marketers and the deliverers. We're the specialist, the enablers and the guys in the background helping you make it all happen.
It's a perfect match.
We're a financial manager and accounts team in one
We'll manage your payroll, look after your debtors and creditors, produce bank reconciliations, calculate GST and PAYE, provide sales support and produce end of month financial reports – P&L and cashflow. And along the way we'll develop tailored systems and process that take account of ordering, manufacturing, distribution, warehousing and stock control.
Which means your bills are being paid, your clients are paying on time and you are meeting your compliance responsibilities. It's all ticking over in the background.
Why we do what we do?
We want to do good. 'Doing good' in our eyes is helping companies to be competitive, profitable, grow and adding to New Zealand's economic well-being. There's an intrinsic pleasure in what we do. We're always stimulated, challenged and feel privileged to do what we do.
We love working with companies that have the same value and aspirations as we do.

Joy Division
An iconic band. Should be in everyone's collection. But, hey, you never know. It's amazing to think these guys were barely adults when they started a very short career, which possibly influenced as many people as the Pistols.

Mary Magdalene
22nd July
Mary Magdalene was the first person to meet the Resurrected Christ and so has the honourable title of Apostle to the Apostles. Despite being marginalised and slandered by the Church throughout the years she remains one of the most important people of all time and a key person for the Christian faith.
Mary was one of the many women who accompanied Jesus in his ministry and two of the Gospels claim that Jesus exorcised her for several daemons. Unlike any of the male Disciples, she was present at both the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. Her testimony as a woman would not have been believed at the time, and this is shown through the Disciples' need to see the resurrected Christ for themselves before they would believe. There is a strong case to be made that in appearing to her first Jesus was choosing Mary as the replacement of Judas in the Twelve, but again due to sexist views held at the time she was over looked.
The male bias of Mary's day has continued to push her down throughout the centuries. Despite being a key figure in the Resurrection narrative she does not appear in any other Biblical book. Due to this lack of Biblical information and her massive importance, Mary has been subject to speculation over the centuries. Most famously she has been painted as a repentant prostitute. There is no evidence whatsoever of her ever being a prostitute, but despite this, the Western Church has focused upon her former life as a prostitute overlooking the repentant aspect and so played down her position. As a result, she has been marginalised, vilified and over looked. Recent scholarship has tried to uncover the "real" Mary and rebuild her character, placing her back where she belongs as a key witness to the Christian faith.
It cannot be over stated how massively important it was that God chose Mary to appear to first. In doing this Jesus was continuing His practice of building women up against the Patriarchal structure of His society. Jesus appearing to Mary was the first sign of the newly established Kingdom of God, a sign that shows that women are equal to men, that the lowliest are worth Gods attention and that God wants women to be a part of His work. If only the Church had paid attention.
A Prayer for Mary Magdalene:
Lord God we thank you for your most holy servant, Mary Magdalene. We praise you for your inclusive and affirming ministry to women and pray that we might emulate that ministry in our daily lives. We repent of any times when we have vilified people unjustly and got caught up in character assassination. We pray also for all women who find themselves marginalised by their societies. Help us to hold on to you through the darkest times and witness to your Resurrection as firmly as your Apostle Mary did. Through your most Holy Name we pray. Amen

#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream
Everything on my usual walk is muted now, this last day of November, the short days and nights not long enough for the amount of sleep my body craves. And the only being that calls my eye in the drab landscape - winterberry, winter berries in the wetlands where I tromp in my thick sneakers over the hay and leaves hoping to stay dry while I get close enough to experience their inspiring energy against the cold and dark. Home, I went searching for a poem to teach me more about the spirit of winter BERRIES – enlivening the swamp, and fortunately, found this sonnet by John Gray. I will record it onto my cell phone and listen to it as I walk the long short days into December toward solstice.
A Winterberry Sonnet, by John Gray
Winterberry disrupts the frozen curse.
My vision's charmed by tiny blobs of red
Between fine-toothed leaves, above a thick bed
Of snow that baits low branches to immerse
In mounds, but they refute its chill or worse,
Cold's inference that matter should be dead
Or trapped indoors. This brave bush flaunts instead
Its rare December spring, bold universe.
Like holly, I sense bloom in darker thought
That would overwhelm me sure, were there not
Deep in my heart, a priceless maxim taught
By love, to recall what must not be forgot,
That bleakness is mere background, a mind ought
To imitate a winterberry's lot.

Pathway History:
The community of Maricopa is a small rural city located south of Phoenix. Maricopa is the only city in the nation bordered by two Native American communities; the potential for growth is limited. When Maricopa incorporated in 2003, the population was 1,040. During the following two years, its population exploded to 15,934 earning it the title of one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. Today, that population has more than tripled in size.
Sequoia Pathway Academy opened in 2009 with 300 students in grades K-8. Each year the student population has grown and Pathway is now a K-12 school with 1100+ students. During the past 10 years, Sequoia has solidified its place in the community as an educational institution that celebrates each student's creativity and individuality. The ability to retain students after 8th grade has been a challenge since many students are looking for that "large high school experience." However, during the past few years, student retention has greatly improved as Pathway has developed academic partnerships with community colleges, offered more rigorous curriculum, including AP courses, and developed an athletic program worthy of several state championship titles.
Pathway at Present:
It is the goal of Sequoia Pathway to meet the needs of community families who truly value the small-town feel of Maricopa and want their children in an intimate and personalized educational setting where their child is known and valued for their own uniqueness. We have discovered that this is a segment of the community we truly serve and we must continue to differentiate ourselves from the other larger school and charter options by providing a first-class education in a family-friendly environment while nurturing both social and emotional life skills.
Pathway Future:
If parents, educators, and other education stakeholders become partners in raising student achievement, Pathway will continue to thrive and on the upward trajectory toward becoming a first-class educational environment. Effectively integrating community members, parents, and other stakeholders into the educational framework of Sequoia Pathway will allow for greater opportunity to enrich the lives of our students emotionally, socially, and physically.
Pathway recently completed its 10th year and looks forward to the next 10 years in Maricopa. The shared vision of administrators and staff will continue to be"knowing each child."

"What paint sheen is best for me to buy?"
The response to this question is based on what the paint will be applied to and the general usefulness of the painted surface. Below are some exceptionally supportive tips to remember to assist you in making a great selection.
Flat Paints
This is a popular sheen used in many homes and is known as matte or flat finish. The majority of matte finishes or flat finishes have the tendency of having no shine. Nevertheless, there are some brands of flat paints that have the tendency to give your painting an extremely bright shine, because of the amount of acrylic resin the paints are composed of. Flat sheen gives itself perfectly to formal dining rooms, large contemporary rooms, and ceilings with so much natural light. Flat, or sometimes referred to as matte, provides an amazing finishing for walls, especially when you intend to conceal some defects in your wall. Additionally, if you want to place very much artwork on the walls, the best fit is the flat paints.
Satin Paints
Another choice of paint sheens is composed of various names based on the amount of shine that is mixed with the paint the moment it dries. Some names you would see when you get to the paint stores include "Low-Sheen," "Satin," and "Egg-Shell." Normally, these paints are much more scrubable, when compared to the common standard flat finishes previously stated. This has the tendency of being the major reason why homeowners choose to make use of any of these sheens. Also, Satin-type finishes appear excellently in areas without so much natural light, stairwells, closets, and hallways, and definitely, the children's rooms. Many satin finishes are used on just walls, they can't be used on wood surfaces or ceilings. Nonetheless, a few homeowners will prefer to paint their doors, baseboards, and trim work using a satin finish. If the satin paint is well prepared and they are used rightly to paint, trim and fine woodwork, they can appear attractive, even when applied to the kitchen cabinets.
Gloss Paints
This type of sheen is referred to as glossy paints. They are labeled on the paint shelf as "Gloss" and "Semi-Gloss." Usually, the semi-gloss offers a 65 to 85 percent shine, in comparison to gloss, which is at 100 percent. Gloss paints are hard to work with and are the most suitably applied by an expert painting contractor. Also, semi-gloss is first choice for the majority of homeowners for kitchens, bathroom walls, woodwork, and rental properties.
Choosing the best paint sheen is based on personal preference. Meanwhile, some of us prefer flat, while others prefer semi-gloss on their walls. If you are uncertain of the exact type of paint sheens and paint to use, you can inquire from us. We are always available to provide you with some expert advice and recommendations.

In the same week as handheld device manufacturer Handspring hit the Australian market, it and rival Palm, are facing a lawsuit by early handheld developer NCR.
NCR filed a lawsuit early last week that could send ripples through the handheld market, as the company alleges it possesses patents to the types of devices developed by Palm and Handspring.
The company claims to hold two patents governing the creation and sale of handheld devices dating back to 1987, according to documents filed in US District Court in Delaware. NCR is asking the court to order Palm and Handspring to stop selling their handheld devices.
Researchers from NCR developed devices for handling and transmitting data in a manner similar to that of current handheld devices such as the Palm Pilot or the Handspring Visor, the lawsuit says.
NCR wanted to create a device allowing users to enter information for appointments, to-do lists, addresses and to execute shopping transactions - just like handhelds that have flooded the market since then. NCR also contends that it developed the idea of using docking stations where information could be exchanged between a handheld and other machines.
Palm and Handspring should compensate NCR for damages related to past and future sales of devices that allegedly infringe on NCR patents, the lawsuit says.
While NCR were reluctant to elaborate on the charges, Logan Ringland, senior analyst computer hardware research for IDC Australia, claims the lawsuit could have a significant impact on the Australian market.
"The question I would have is where is it going to leave the end user?" said Ringland, concerned over what would happen to the development of Palm and Handsprings' product lines. "I'd also want to know whether NCR will manufacture their own devices."
Even though it claims to hold the patents, NCR did not release consumer handheld devices of its own.
Ringland claims a successful suit would not affect Handspring, having just launched in Australia, as much as it would impact Palm's 50 per cent domination of the market. A conservative IDC forecast had placed handheld sales in the region of around 90,000 units for 2000.

Recently, Santa Claus came to Tuscaloosa five months early to help Morning Pointe Assisted Living residents celebrate Christmas. Starting July 9, "Christmas in July" Celebrations began at the center, said Sherry Carter, life enrichment director at Morning Pointe.
Recently, Santa Claus came to Tuscaloosa five months early to help Morning Pointe Assisted Living residents celebrate Christmas.
Starting July 9, "Christmas in July" Celebrations began at the center, said Sherry Carter, life enrichment director at Morning Pointe.
In the day leading up to the celebration, residents decorated Christmas trees and cut out snowflakes, Carter said.
"This was the first year we did this," said Liz Espy, Lantern program director at Morning Pointe said. "We ended the market on Friday and Santa Claus came."
Morning Pointe welcomed the Pine Valley retirement community on Monday and Tuesday. Santa and his elves came to a gift exchange with the Eagles' Wings of Tuscaloosa.
"Monday, a group from Pine Valley came and put on a Christmas program," Espy said. "They used bells and sang Christmas songs and gave a brief history of some of the pieces. The Eagles' Wings were a lot of fun. We had a party with them where we came in and did caroling and gave them gifts."
The weeklong celebration ended July 13, when the center hosted a "mini merry market," a bake sale where vendors set up tables in the center's lobby. Proceeds from the event were donated to Caring Days of Tuscaloosa, a day program for adults with Alzheimer's and other memory disorders.
"We have been working with Caring Days for three years," Carter said. "What they do is so important and we are hoping to contribute donations to their Walk to Remember event."
The July 13 event was advertised on television and open to the public. Businesses that participated in the event included Mary Kay, Avon, Jester's Flowers & Gifts and Scentsy Candles.
"I have a feeling it will become an annual thing. It was a tremendous success," Espy said. "We has a pretty good response from the community; 150 to 200 people probably came."
Morning Pointe tries to work with the community as much as possible, Espy said.
"It is nice to have fun and to do something for the community that we partner with throughout the year," Carter said.
In an effort to bring community spirit to Morning Pointe, Carter said the center will host a Gorgeous Grandmother pageant on Aug. 25. The public is encouraged to participate as audience members.
Another effort includes art classes.
"We have art for the public every third Tuesday of each month," Carter said. "The classes are free and we supply everything from canvases to paint."
Morning Pointe is also collecting fans and air conditioners to help Temporary Emergency Services, Espy said.
"We are trying to gather air conditioners and fans for Temporary Emergency Services," Espy said. "We try to give back to the community at all times, it keeps our residents involved in the community, they are vital citizens."
Carter said she hopes people will drop fans and air conditioners off at Morning Pointe.
"I can't imagine what it would be like to have to go on without a fan or air conditioning," she said.
Donations can be dropped off at Morning Pointe Assisted Living, 1801 Rice Mine Road.
For more information about Morning Pointe, contact Sherry Carter at 205-409-7644.

Whatcom View: Closing opportunity gap with unique partnership
Take one minute right now to reflect on how after-school programs or similar activities may have helped to shape your life or your child's life. Now keep that picture in mind as I share with you a window in to our creative, first-time, three-way partnership to provide crucial after school programs for those who need it most right here in Bellingham.
The partnership focuses on closing the opportunity gap through extended day programming. Children attending Title I (low income) schools in Bellingham will now have greater access to after-school enrichment programs. About four years ago, Bellingham School District and the Woodring College of Education at Western Washington University brought together educators and community agencies to discuss the possibility of creating a collective impact partnership. The intent of this partnership was to find ways to better serve all school children in the Bellingham community.
During a partnership meeting in 2013, one of the community members suggested focusing our work on creating better opportunities for Title I school children. At the time, this community member was the president of the PTA at the Alderwood Elementary School. The PTA had worked very hard at the school to bring material resources such as, computers, books and bookshelves for the library. However, the PTA president said that one of the biggest needs at the school was to enhance the after-school program.
Students at the school did not have after-school programming opportunities in many areas such as, the arts (music and dance), sports and other team building activities such as, chess and tech clubs. Furthermore, many of the parents could not afford to pay for private lessons outside of afterschool programming.
Everyone at the partnership meeting agreed that this would be a good place to start our work. We began with a variety of listening sessions, which included Alderwood Elementary School teachers, PTA, parents, and students. During the sessions we learned about the type of afterschool programming needed for Alderwood Elementary School students and their families.
Using a collective impact strategy Bellingham Public Schools and Woodring College of Education pooled their resources to hire a part-time after-school coordinator, raise funds to help with after-school busing, and increased our college student practicums at the school, as well as community volunteers. Within a year, we were able to expand the after-school program to include dance, art, chess, guitar, violin, one-on-one academic tutoring, and so forth. And the results showed: kids gained new skills, increased their academic achievement, and kept busy during those crucial hours in the afternoon.
As you can see, we're making an impact through our collective efforts. This gave us the encouragement to continue our work to help Title I elementary schools enrich their after-school programming and to take our partnership to United Way.
Education is one of United Way of Whatcom County's key impact areas for our community and we were elated to begin partnering with them this spring. Their generous grant will help us expand to fund after-school programming for two Title I elementary schools for the next three years. These include Alderwood Elementary School and Cordata Elementary School. At both schools, more than two-thirds of the students qualify for free or reduced-priced meals, about half are students of color, and about one-third are English language learners. Approximately 300 students at each school are expected to participate in this free program, which will also offer engagement and learning activities for families, including meals, homework help strategies for parents, and English as a Second Language classes.
Research shows that children's participation in extended-day activities lead to more engagement in school, increased student attendance, higher academic achievement, and eventually higher rates of graduation from high school.
Our vision is to eventually assist all of the Title I elementary schools in Bellingham to enrich their after-school programming. Partnerships such as the United Way of Whatcom County, Bellingham Public Schools and Woodring College of Education are critical to creating equitable educational P-12 opportunities for the purpose of building a greater future for our community.
Right now United Way of Whatcom County is conducting their annual campaign to raise funds that will impact 100,000-plus individuals in our community. Your gift to this year's campaign will help change the lives of kids, families, and individuals through programs like ours and many other programs and projects that United Way is partnering with here in Whatcom County. The more that is raised, the more people will be impacted and the more programs they can partner with. Give at your workplace or go online to unitedwaywhatcom.org to contribute to this year's campaign and show how when we all pitch in we build a stronger community for all. Truly great things happen when we live united!
About United Way
United Way of Whatcom County runs more than 150 workplace giving campaigns during the fall to benefit Whatcom County's Community Impact Fund, which focuses on education, income, and health.

Burton Lexa Re:Flex - Bad Black
Κωδικός Προϊόντος: 10545102192-BLK
Legendary freestyle performance
It's no wonder the Lexa is a top pick for a whole host of Burton (and non-Burton) pro riders with state of the art tech like Double Take buckles,Asym Hammockstrap™,Super Grip Capstrap™ and a Heel hammock on your highback. Combined these features provide a very high performance freestyle binding with a precise response. The women's specific True fit design ensures a more harmonious connection because every element of this binding has been designed and engineered around women. Offered in two versions, choose the across-the-board compatibility of Re:Flex™ or pair the EST® model with a Burton board featuring The Channel™ mounting system for the ultimate in flex, feel, and adjustability.
Living hinge tech in the highback eliminates hardware and weight, and allows you to adjust your Forward Lean and hi-back rotation independently. While the Heel Hammock features reinforced rubbery material that wraps around the heel of any boot for increased response.
With a minimized, cored baseplate and Living Hinge™ disc the Re:Flex baseplate dramatically improves board flex and feel, and reduces weight. One material construction creates consistent response and feel for all-terrain domination. While the under baseplate dampening pad eats up vibrations and impacts in a design that expands cushioning while reducing the footprint of the binding to increase flex and feel.
The new asymmetrical pad and spine shape of the Asym Hammockstrap wraps the boot in response. Flip the straps for increased freedom, or run stock for power and support. The new minimalist design of the Super Grip Capstrap merges two materials into one technologically advanced toe strap. A firmer material in the spine provides a supportive and lightweight skeleton, while a softer overmolded material improves boot wrap and comfort. While Double Take Buckles and Flex slider allow for super-fast and easy strapping.

Welcome to episode 005 of the Yasmin Essa podcast! On today's show, I am joined by Ayurvedic Practitioner, Sabrina Erschen.
This episode is sponsored by Wellness with Yasmin. Learn more at http://wellnesswithyasmin.com
Sabrina's Bio:
Sabrina was born and raised in Madison Wisconsin to an American Father who converted to Islam and a Somali Mother who grew up as a Muslim in Somalia. She was raised with a natural and holistic perspective concerning health. She knew she wanted to help others heal but simply was not sure how to go about doing that.
Sabrina was homeschooled up until high school and did online high school to graduate a bit early. From there she was so lost and did not know what she wanted to do for college. She became a dental assistant but felt very unsatisfied. She wanted to help people heal naturally but still had no idea how to go about doing that. Sabrina and her husband finished that semester of school quit their jobs, and decided to travel around Europe for 2.5 months. That trip opened her eyes even more and made her feel as if there was more out there for her. That same year, they traveled to Thailand (her father-in-law's home country). She was inspired by their forms of natural healing through massage and herbs.
It was not until the end of that year (2016) that Sabrina and her husband found out they were expecting. Sabrina describes this as the start of her story. Finding out she was pregnant triggered a desire within her to study a natural and healthy pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. She came across Ayurveda and I fell in love.
When their son, Ismail, was two months old, she began a program to become an Ayurvedic Practitioner through New World Ayurveda.
She now teaches classes on different health topics to support women in connecting with their cycles and healing themselves naturally. She also has an Etsy shop where she sells handmade embroidery.

J. A. Wood
John A. Wood (June 11, 1837 – December 18, 1910), was an American architect . His work in upstate New York included projects in Poughkeepsie and Kingston, New York as well as three armories, in Kingston, Bethel, New York, and Watertown, New York. His work in Tampa, Florida includes the Tampa Bay Hotel and old Hillsborough County Courthouse. His hotel work included the design of the Piney Woods Hotel, Oglethorpe Hotel, Mizzen Top Hotel, and Grand Hotel.
The Tampa Bay Hotel was listed on the National Historic Register in 1972.[1]
Wood was born in Bethel, New York. He began his career in 1863 in Poughkeepsie[2] before moving his office to 153 Broadway in New York City. He completed several projects in the area of Kingston, New York as well as in Brunswick, Georgia.
Wood's parents were Stephen C. Wood and Mary Crist Wood.[3] Wood is buried in the Evergreen Cemetery in Bethel.
Wood established his practice in Poughkeepsie by 1863.[3] the buildings he designed in the area include several on and around the Vassar College campus. He also did work in Kingston, New York, including the New York State Armory (1878) and, at the end of his career, the Stuyvesant Hotel (1910).[3] He also designed the Tremper House by Mount Tremper (constructed for wholesale grocery businessmen Thomas and Jacob Tremper), one of the earliest railroad resorts in the Catskill Mountains. It was located by the Phoenicia stop of the Ulster and Delaware Railroad.[4]
Hotel design became his specialty and Wood achieved a reputation for his architectural style, especially his use of Moorish Revival style. The Tampa Bay Hotel is his most famous work, a striking five-storied, 511-room building with ornate Victorian architecture features (sometimes referred to as gingerbread), as well as Moorish architectural features including minarets, cupolas, and domes. The resort was built for Henry B. Plant, a railroad and shipping tycoon. It is now part of the University of Tampa campus and is known as Plant Hall. It contains the Henry B. Plant Museum.
Wood stated his dislike for Queen Anne style in the Thomasville Times in 1886: "Dear Sir – Please correct the statement in Saturday's Times that the 'Piney Woods Hotel is built in the Queen Anne style.' Neither the Piney Woods nor any other hotel that I have ever designed is in that beastly style, which is at best no style at all."[2]
The summer home of Effingham Brown Sutton in West Islip, New York (ca. 1870)consisted of a mansion and several fine cottages. The main house, Woodruff Sutton cottage, and gate house were razed by railroad magnate Edwin Hawley. The last original building, owned by George Nicholas in later years, was demolished in the 1950s.
Wood's design for the Grand Hotel (Highmount, New York) was a project for Thomas Cornell, owner of Hudson River steamships and the Ulster and Delaware Railroad. Cornell concluded that a hotel near the railroad would boost traffic and draw wealthy clients who would be hours away from Grand Central Station in New York City.[5] The three-story hotel included elegant features such as turrets, and a covered piazza along its 350-foot length.[5]
Wood's design for a large hotel in Charleston, South Carolina was covered by The New York Times in a January 6, 1894 article.[6]

6 Women Designers You Should Know
Happy Saturday!
Women's history month is almost over but here at Fluff know that a lot of issues taking centerstage now, like equal pay shouldn't just be limited to this month. It's a funny fact that a lot of the people in high positions and that wield power in fashion, thought of as a predominantly feminine industry, are men. From the old 7th avenue garmentos to many of our favorite it-designers (think Balmain, Alexander Wang, Zac Posen, Wes Gordon, the list goes on). The same is true in the fine jewelry industry and beauty. Well, from the Democratic National Convention to Nasty Gal, the times are changing and #GirlBoss is not just a trending hashtag, it's a rallying cry. In honour of the last shopping Saturday of Women's History Month, here are some of our favorite up and coming women designers making their mark right now in fashion and accessories, around the world. Look out for their brands in your department store this weekend!
Catherine Sarr of Almasika
With roots in Benin, Parisienne raised and splitting her time between Abu Dhabi and London, fine jewelry brand, Almasika designer, Catherine Sarr is the epitome of jet-set chic. While the brand is in it's infancy, it is already carried by topshelf retailers like Luisa Via Roma and Colette. Based in London, Almasika fine jewellery is a celebration of the magnificent jewellery and adornment heritage of Africa. Inspired by the history of ancient kingdoms, ALMASIKA fuse iconic motifs with an international sensibility, to create jewellery with universal allure. With an extensive background in luxury, including time spent at DeBeers, it's refreshing to see a black woman at the head of a fine jewelry brand and "African-inspired" jewelry that breaks the usual motifs of Massai inspired collections.
Donna Kang of Timo Weiland
One third of the dream team behind the immensely popular brand, Timo Weiland, Donna Kang is an absolute force. Majoring in evening wear, art and knitwear, Donna is the only one of the team with a technical fashion background and it's safe to say that the magic that is Timo Weiland wouldn't happen without her. Donna is the cool NYC Timo Weiland girl, the life of the party, and wildly enough, as humble as she is talented!
The charm and elegance of her namesake brand seems to come naturally to designer, Tanya Taylor. Hailing from a line of entrepreneurs, Tanya isn't one to sit on her laurels. She has turned that finance degree from McGill University into a successful New York City based design house. Already worn by a bevy of inspirational women such as Michelle Obama, Lena Dunham and Kerry Washington to name but a few, we definitely look forward to the future of Tanya Taylor.
Phoebe & Annette Stevens of Anndra Neen
Sisters Phoebe & Annette Stevens create the kind of pieces that people go gaga for, stopping you on the street, subway and turning heads asking, "Where did you get that?!" Based in NYC, with the collection being made in Mexico City, where they were born and raised, and often jetting around the world Anndra Neen infuses their global sensibilities and their upbringing. Surrounded by art and artists for all of their lives, it's no surprise that their designs walk the fine line between jewelry and accessories and wearable art. A major source of inspiration to the sisters is their grandmother, Annette Nancarrow, a jewelry designer and artist in Mexico City who ran in the same circles as women like Frida Kahlo, Peggy Gugegnheim and Anais Nin. Trust us, you need one of their metal bags!
Min Wu is one of the next big design talents coming out of London. Already a Vogue Italia darling, Min's designs are quirky, cool and effervescent — much like her. While she's based in London, Min hails from China and her designs are proudly made in China. Quality, detail, high-design, she's definitely set to change everything you think about Made in China.
E pluribus unum. Out of one, many. The Latin motto, well known from the United States seal was the title of the collection notes for Italian designer, Stella Jean's menswear Fall Winter 2016 – 2017 collection. It is completely fitting. Exploring the concept of cultural hybridity as she does with this collection is nothing new to the designer. Born in Rome, Italy, of Italian and Haitian descent, Jean's collections often display the duality of her mixed race upbringing. Bold Creole influenced prints meeting fine Italian tailoring. She's already caught the eye of Italian great, Giorgio Armani. In 2013, he chose the young designer to present her spring/summer 2014 collection at his traditional show space, the Armani Teatro, during this autumn's Milan Fashion Week. She was the first womenswear name to present there. Worn by A-listers like Beyoncé and Rihanna, with friends like these, we think we'll be seeing Stella Jean for many years to come.

Mega Man 11 Headlines 30th Anniversary Stream Announcements/
Well, we knew that today's Mega Man 30th Anniversary live stream would either be boom or bust, and it was definitely a resounding "Boom-shakalaka!" as Capcom announced that a brand-new Mega Man title would be coming in 2018!
Here's the trailer:
The 11th title in the three decades-running series will arrive in late 2018 on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and yes, even the Nintendo Switch. That's like two miracles in one!
Sharp-eyed viewers will also take note that Protodude's prediction was right on, as that mysterious bit of art featuring Mega Man with an odd, brick-like arm and different appearance that wasn't from any of the previous titles featured in the collection was indeed a tease for Mega Man 11, with Yuji Ishihara serving as art director for the game's hand-drawn visuals. Furthermore, that new look for the Roll Nendoroid figure at TGS is going to be featured in the game as well!
In addition to a bunch of screenshots, the following gallery also contains a look at Mega Man's new Super Smash Bros.-esque design, his "powered up" form, and the Robot Master he apparently gets said form from. And hey, sliding and charge shots are back, too, with the latter seemingly featuring in some sort of new hyper mode-like state relating to the gears beneath the energy meters.
More info is to come in the Summer of 2018, but before that happens, Nintendo Switch owners will finally be able to get caught up with the previous ten entries as Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 are both coming to the platform in Spring 2018 with amiibo support.
Plus, the first Mega Man Legacy Collection will see the addition of a Rewind feature like the one seen in The Disney Afternoon Collection, and that feature will be added to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions for those who already have it there.
Then there was the announcement that kicked the entire event off: All eight Mega Man X games are coming to the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in Summer 2018. Details are few, including whether this will take on the form of a collection or not, but more details are said to be due in the coming months.
Hm, if Mega Man Legacy Collection and its sequel are coming to Nintendo Switch as a sort of recap/warm-up for Mega Man 11, could the release of the eight Mega Man X games be preceding an as-yet unannounced Mega Man X9?
Maybe we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves, but we can always hope!
Finally, here's a look at the cover for the January 2018 issue of Game Informer magazine:

'How do I' plus my 10 minute egg
So how do I do this? Why do I do this? Does it matter? Will it really help anyone? Will anyone be able to or have time to read past all of my sentence fragments and run-on sentences? Can I just be messy? Is it okay to be scattered? Can I really encourage others to enjoy life and experience healthy living? Can I be as random and real online as I am in real life? The questions go on... BECAUSE here's what really happens...I think a bazillion thoughts and words while out on my early morning walk with the pups. I come home and jump into my day and by the time my fingers reach the keyboard, I type a sentence. One. Then it's time to drop off or pick up or be some where. All good things. Then I get back to the keyboard and have a couple of thoughts which are followed by second guessing their cohesiveness and value. Then it's time to prep/cook something or just maybe dash off to a yoga class. Awww, yoga. Then back to the joys of running and going and doing.
And I want to celebrate and savor ALL those things. So here's where I landed, yes. Yes in the midst of... Yes to showing up no matter how scattered. Yes to staying quirky. Yes to connecting. Yes to sharing tidbits regardless of how tiny. Yes to saying we're all in this messy life together. Yes to being present. Yes to reminding myself to breathe and reminding you to too!!
Okay, here's my gift to you today, besides reminding you to breathe: My 10 minute egg. Cooked perfectly every time! A perfect on-hand protein pack for on-the-go or being still!
- Place your eggs in a sauce pan and cover with water.
- Place on the stove over high heat.
- Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, turn OFF heat and put lid on.
- Set timer for 10 minutes.
- Rinse and peel under cold water.
- Enjoy and savor perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs!

Centuries ago, St. George fought and killed a dragon—or so the legend goes. The truth is somewhat different.
George failed in his mission, and the Dragon still walks the Earth, protected by an undead army, hiding in the shadows and slaughtering men, women, and children for its prey. Each of George's descendants through time has been tasked with killing the Dragon, and each has failed.
Twenty-five-year-old Georgia Quincey is the last of the line—the last, best hope for defeating the Dragon once and for all. But Georgia is also an addict, driven to the warm embrace of the needle by the weight of her responsibility and the loss of everything and everyone she has ever loved.
Tracking her nemesis to the small town of Buckshot, New Mexico for their final showdown, Georgia is about to discover the truth about the Dragon, a terrible secret that could put all life on Earth in peril.
eISBN: 9781926851808
Praise for Nicholas Kaufmann
"Nicholas Kaufmann is one of my favorites. His books never disappoint, and Chasing the Dragon is no exception. Relentless and unflinching, Chasing the Dragon offers mayhem, meat puppets and one hell of a monster. Highly recommended!"
—Brian Keene, author of The Rising
"As a horror writer, Nicholas Kaufmann knows how to move and manipulate his readers. In only about one hundred pages, Chasing the Dragon manages to deliver an ancient and angry dragon, a detailed mythology, the undead, gangs, a damaged and complex heroine, and, of course, heroin, in this gripping, fast-paced, and surprising novella."
—Paul Tremblay, author of The Little Sleep and No Sleep till Wonderland
"Kaufmann is an outstanding writer . . . Exploding cars, shotguns, undead, dragons, drug addicts, gangs . . . it moves relentlessly, giving us enough of a breather to sprinkle the backstory of not only how Georgia came to be a Dragonslayer, but a drug addict . . . Another hit from ChiZine Pub (man, these guys know how to do books—from the writing, to the covers, to even their website) . . . Five out of five stars."

McDonald's Corp. is toasting its sandwich buns longer and changing how it sears and grills hamburgers, part of an effort to reinvigorate growth with "hot, tasty food."
The increased toasting time makes the sandwiches hotter, while the new grilling technique produces juicier burgers, Steve Easterbrook, the restaurant chain's chief executive officer, said at an investment conference in New York on Wednesday.
"These little things add up to big differences for our customers," Easterbrook said. "We're recommitting to tastier food across the menu."
Easterbrook, who took the CEO job in March, is trying to pull the company out of a prolonged slump. Global sales fell in 2014 for the first time in more than a decade, while the U.S. has posted declines for six straight quarters. Earlier this month, Easterbrook laid out a turnaround strategy that included cost cuts, a leadership reorganization and a plan to sell about 3,500 company-owned restaurants across the globe to franchisees.
But that plan didn't focus on the details of the food, something Easterbrook sought to address on Wednesday. He also said McDonald's would stop providing monthly sales figures, an effort to nudge investors away from short-term results.
Easterbrook sees turning around the U.S. business as a "burning priority," saying that an emphasis on convenience and value will bring customers back to McDonald's in its home market. As part of the push, it's testing a slimmed-down menu for drive-thru customers, offering about half as many items as usual. Drive-thru orders account for about 70 percent of U.S. sales, so improving that experience is crucial for McDonald's.Read the Full Article

Wellington Lodge is a 146 unit student accommodation building on Waterloo Road Southwark for Unite Students, the largest student accommodation provider in the UK.
Consent for the proposal was achieved within only nine months of HKR's appointment and the well proportioned building reflects a "real understanding for the fine urban grain and brick character of this part of Southwark."
The project employed off site modular construction and a dramatically streamlined delivery programme, with ensuite bedrooms being factory constructed under controlled conditions and craned into position over an eight week work period. The facade was then refined and clad in high quality brick slips.
Facilities include Ensuite Student Rooms with dedicated reception, communal kitchens, common room, study areas, laundry and shared roof terrace with panoramic views over south London.
Location: Southwark, London, UK
Sector: Residential
Size: 146 Student Residential Units, 3,100m2 GIA
Client: Unite Students
