I know you can't imagine WordPress Day 2016 getting any better, but check out these final amazing sessions that will part of this year's event!
This is the third and final posting about sessions at the 2016 NTC WordPress Day. Check out round 1 and round 2 to learn about all of the other great sessions. And if you haven't registered yet, head over to our #16ntcwp conference site to learn more.
WP Sites and Accessibility
Amar Trivedi
This session will cover basic accessibility principles focusing on how project managers and site owners can handle this seemingly confusing area via useful tasks and techniques. It will cover important accessibility WordPress plugins and themes that are available, as well as tips on how to include accessibility through design and the developmental workflow.
The RESTful Future of WordPress
Phil Crumm
Big changes are coming. The introduction of the WordPress REST API (landing in WordPress 4.5 in April 2016) represents a fundamental shift in how we build and use WordPress. Join me as we explore the technology behind the shift, the motivation for the change, and what it means to us as users and developers of WordPress platforms.
We'll review what a REST API is, exactly, investigate some common tools currently used for web application development atop REST APIs (e.g. React), and discuss the future of WordPress in this new light.
Making Multisite Work for You
Ben Byrne
Cornershop Creative
Whether being used for a vast and loose affiliation of local chapter websites or a closely-held pool of topical blogs, WordPress Multisite can be an efficient and effective tool — provided it's done right. In this session, we'll review the past, present, and future of this sometimes-esoteric technology and highlight appropriate use cases for leveraging it.
We'll also walk through some best practices for setting up and developing for Multisite Networks, highlighting its strengths, weaknesses and "gotchas" so you can know if it's a fit for your needs.
WordPress and CRM : Match Made In Heaven… or Hell?
Colin Pizarek
Neon Web Studio
There are lots of ways you can integrate your WordPress website with your CRM – web forms, social media, directories and look ups, website analytics, APIs, and many more. This session looks at the common recommendations for website and CRM integration, unpacking in a common sense and honest approach what will help your organization, and what is (or is not!) worth the investment of your time, talent, and treasure.
WordPress = Community Building
Birgit Pauli-Haack
How can your WordPress site support your social media community building, outreach activities and online fundraising?
2015 has brought quite a few more new WordPress plugins and services that are very helpful for nonprofits to reach donors, gain new supporters and help online advocates to amplify content.
We will show plugins and features that will assist in your social media publishing efforts, save time and integrate well into your editorial calendar and planning.
You will learn how you can let your articles and pages shine on the various platforms and how to streamline your productions processes. And last but not least, how you can increase your list building efforts and have visitors subscribe to your emails.
During the discussion, we will look examples and discuss pros/cons usages as well as alternatives. You will be able to go back to your office and implement a few ideas.
Going Big: When and how to move your site to an enterprise hosting solution
Erik Mathy
Pantheon Systems
One of the hardest decisions for non-profits is knowing when, and then how, to upgrade their website hosting solutions. While the positives, such as guaranteed uptime, stability, speed, technical support and the like are attractive the decision itself can be intimidating. Factors such as cost, unfamiliarity with enterprise hosting options, and the technical challenges of site migration are enough to make anyone think more than twice!
In this session, I will do my best to remove some of the mystery from your decision making process. I'll give you some things to look for in an enterprise hosting solution, explain what some of those weird terms mean, tips on how to ease the pain of migration to your new host and a few war stories over the years so that you know you're not alone!
Making the Most of Your Online Donation Campaigns with WordPress
Matt Cromwell
This session will cover how nonprofit organizations can utilize WordPress to maximize the effectiveness of their online donation campaigns. This involves the following items:
- Thought leadership (via content marketing)
- Community development (via social media and forums)
- Donation landing pages (via the Give plugin)
- Donor communications (via CRMs and MailChimp).
Attendees will receive a PDF ""White Paper"" with valuable resources and tools as a reference for this session.

More recently, I've found myself having conversations with people where I've been asked the question - Are you done? I presumed that this meant - Would I be having any more children? - to which I swiftly replied that I was most definitely 'done' and that this would most definitely be our last child.
The responses that I received ranged from a knowing smile to outright disbelief. For some reason, when people find out that you're having a fourth child they don't believe that you ever want to stop! So I found myself thinking long and hard about how I'd reached this point - where I was sure that this really was the last time.
Here I am at 32 weeks along with our fourth baby and this pregnancy has been a somewhat different experience for many reasons. In the past few days, I've packed my hospital bag (after being caught short the last two times) and started putting a few baby things together in response to the bizarre 'nesting' phenomenon that seems to happen about now.Read More

Got him out of the tavern by feeding him tainted stew, killed him in front of the latrines but do you cut off his head?
Wed Sep 20, 2017 12:25 am
But how can I get some tainted stew?
Wed Sep 20, 2017 7:37 am
You buy some stew from the barmaid then combine it with a tainted fish.
Wed Sep 20, 2017 11:27 am
Go to the Fish Factory and speak with the employee's.... find a certain fish... and go from there... Garven does like stew ;)
Thu Sep 21, 2017 8:24 am
To kill Garven without attracting unwanted attention feed him the Meaty Stew you buy from the barmaid and combine it with any Void fish (they are all over the, just look in a fish barrel). Offer him the stew and follow him to the latrine and kill him.
If you have an elf and decide to eat Garven's head you get a talent that gives you +1 to Bartering.

What, that isn't even the right quest, *.
Thu Oct 05, 2017 5:27 am
The only * here is you, buddy.
Thu Sep 21, 2017 1:39 pm
I simply confronted him, he became hostile, then a fine paste on the floor along with his bodyguards. The spirit in the room accepted it all the same, and the magisters in the hallway didn't even bat an eye at the bloodbath in the room with the door open.
Thu Sep 21, 2017 11:40 pm
hmm when i confront him he just talk that he doesn't want to talk about it and there is nothing i can do, so i guess the trick that i submit is for anyone that has the same fate as me
Sun Sep 24, 2017 4:20 am
Where is Liam ?
Tue Sep 26, 2017 11:52 pm
Near the shallow grave. You need spirit vision since he is a ghost.
Thu Sep 28, 2017 11:37 pm
Where's the grave? I don't remember where he is to turn in the quest.
Fri Sep 29, 2017 3:03 am
Okay... And wheres the grave?
Tue Oct 03, 2017 3:23 pm
its close to one of the bridge trolls, at the bridge closest to the ship wreck
Sun Sep 24, 2017 11:46 pm
take note of where he stashed his reward reload and eat the head and go dig up the loot gaining both rewards
Wed Sep 27, 2017 4:12 pm
When I give Liam the head, he just tells me that he has nothing to give me anymore and disappears, no mention of any hidden treasure. Where is the treasure located, does anyone know?
Sun Oct 01, 2017 7:25 pm
If your barter person isn't an elf, you can use the Shapeshifter's mask or equivalent to transform into a elf and eat the head to get the skill point. Worked when I did it with Lohse.
Tue Oct 10, 2017 10:11 am
that's super good advice:) thx!
Tue Oct 03, 2017 9:22 pm
where do i find Garvan?

Many new and aspiring table tennis coaches talk to me about improving their coaching skills. I feel that the most important aspect is developing credibility early on.
So how do you establish credibility if you aren't the best table tennis player or coach, and haven't coached any elite students yet? You quote.
Quoting world class table tennis players, world class table tennis coaches, and showing pertinent videos to your students, will help them see you in that level of the sport. For example, if you recently read a coaching article by Liu Guoliang about the forehand drop shot, then consider teaching your students that stroke. At the end of the lesson, you can read the article to them and possibly show them a video of some top table tennis players performing the forehand drop shot. Your students will be able to see that you yourself can properly convey the information while validating your sources.
As your students begin to trust you more and more, then you won't need to quote quite as often. Just remember that quoting gives you credibility while showing that you are up-to-date with teaching the best table tennis techniques in the world.

Forbidden Rice Salad
I love using forbidden rice as a base for my grain salads not only because I love how the black color lets all the beautiful colors of the vegetables shine, but also because of it's impressive nutrient profile.
Forbidden rice has the highest antioxidant, fiber, and protein content compared to other rice varieties (white, brown, and red). Black rice is also a good source of plant based iron, which can be hard to get for vegetarians. This makes the perfect #meatlessmonday dish.
This type of rice got labeled "forbidden" due to its ancient Chinese history of being reserved only for royalty. Luckily today we can all eat like royalty!
(serves 6 as side dish)
⅔ cup black rice
4 cups butternut squash, cubed
½ cup pomegranate seeds
1 bag of baby spinach (or leafy green of choice)
1 cup pistachio nuts, chopped (pecans also taste great in this dish)
¼ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons of olive oil, divided
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
Pepper to taste
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high eat. Add the rice and lower heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl toss squash with salt and 1 tbsp oil
Spread evenly on a aluminum of parchment covered baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sauté the baby spinach in a pan with 1 teaspoon of oil
Whisk together the remaining oil, lemon juice, honey and pepper in a bowl
In a large serving bowl, mix together the rice, spinach, pistachios, pomegranate seeds, and squash. Mix in the dressing and serve! Tastes great hot or cold. **Add the pomegranate seeds right before serving to retain the bright color

(CNN) -- The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indy 500, is one of the most famous racetracks in the world.
Hillary Clinton stops off at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway while campaigning in Indiana.
It's an enormous asphalt oval, a road that doesn't actually go anywhere.
The cars just go straight and turn left, go straight and turn left, for 500 miles; an experience that draws a quarter of a million die-hard race fans, but will exhaust the attention of most anyone else.
If the sun is hot and the beer is cold, you might even fall asleep. If you wake up an hour or two later, they'll still be racing.
Hillary Clinton campaigned there this week, which is entirely fitting.
U.S. politicians have learned an important lesson from motor sports and it's probably her only hope of winning the Democratic Party's presidential nomination: if you can stay in the race long enough, sometimes the car in the lead will crash.
Clinton and Barack Obama have been running in primaries and caucuses in U.S. states, territories and islands for five months now.
There have been more than 50 elections so far and they still aren't done. This week, the contests were in Indiana and North Carolina. Obama won North Carolina, the larger and more important of the two states, by a wide margin. Clinton won Indiana, but barely.
So Obama is still ahead in the number of delegates needed for the nomination.
For weeks now, Clinton's best hope has been for something bad to happen to Obama. She's kept the pressure on, with a campaign that is more and more confrontational.
His victory in North Carolina and the near-draw in Indiana suggest it hasn't worked. He's had his difficulties but he's still number one. And there are just six primaries and one month left.
So watch Obama drive conservatively and try to hold his lead. Watch Clinton hit the gas hard, bumping him and trying to pass at every opportunity.
Both of them do have enough time left to crash, but otherwise, they'll be going round and round a little bit longer, probably without changing places.
All About Hillary Clinton • Democratic Party • Barack Obama • John McCain • Republican Party

Home a la mode.
So I had to check it out because Tina has wonderful cottage style! And there they were. My melamine dishes that I had been wanting forever.
So I ordered them! (yay)
I have stared at those dishes too! They are adorable. I can't wait to see your future tablescapes. :)
Oh those are so cute. I love them. I love the red and whitge check and the roses are stunning. Just think of all the possibilities for some great tablescapes. Congratulations on finding them. Hugs, Marty
Oh Liz! I love them! You are going to have so much fun playing house with those!:)

Oh Liz...they are so cute and pretty! I can't wait to see your tablescape with them! And those towels are precious with the dingles!
wow.. very pretty dishes.. so Cath Kidston! plaid and floral.. mix so well!
Love your dishes, Liz and love that you were able to find them!!
It is so cool to find a website in a magazine that lives up to the advertisement. Even though they didn't have the dishes, it sounds like a great site as well as the one you got the dishes from!
I love those dishes. I am going to have to skip on over to that website and give it check out.
BTW... I like chewy cookies...and I love you black rooster lamp!]
What time is the tea party? Just too cute and what fun! Have a blessed day!!!

I remember thinking these were so cute the first time I saw them. I should have ordered some too. They are so fun, and the towel too. Can't wait to see a tablescape with them. laurie
Love the plates--so cottage-like. I had thought of buying some melamine from ebay--they have all kinds. ..but when I read about melamine I wondered how safe they might be to eat off of???
(I posted my tablescape on my spindle cottage blog--but I do have other blogs...that blog is going to be mostly for house type pics)
I have pondered on buying those dishes several times! I'm glad you got them, woohoo! Love the towels, they're adorable.
I'm going to have to try the Truvia. Never heard of it before!
Your cookies and brownies and table scapes all look divine.


text: When I checked into a Philadelphia hostel en route from Spain to emcee at Montreal's Startup Fest the front desk staff asked if his transport directions from the airport had worked. "Yes," I replied, "but I decided to get off at 30th Street so I could walk the rest of the way and see the city before it got dark." "That's 2 miles in 80 degree heat!" he exclaimed. Should this have been such a shocking act? I had just finished a 500-mile walk in mostly 80–90 degree weather several days prior and felt like the train moved too fast. Upon arrival I would likely set down my pack and go for a walk anyway so why not just walk there?

Is Kaczynski tired of ruling behind the scenes?
We don't usually do rumours but, if true, this is significant. The Polish press is abuzz with stories about an impending government reshuffle. The ultimate source for all this is an article in the Polish weekly Sieci Prawdy, summarised in wPolitice. But in Poland it's not the PM Beata Szydlo that's considered the real power, but the PiS leader Jaroslaw Kazynski who rules behind the scenes. So, when the Polish press talks about a reshuffle, it doesn't exclude that Szydlo will be one of the ousted ministers, to be replaced by Kaczynski himself. One possibility is for Szydlo to lead the PiS slate for the 2019 European parliament elections. The foreign minister Witold Waszczykowski is also widely expected to be replaced.
Ostensibly, Kazynski's move would end the visible infighting in the Polish cabinet. We suspect that the move may also have something to do with president Andrzej Duda's veto of the judicial reforms proposed by the government before the summer. Kazynski may feel he's better able than Szydlo to confront Duda.

I feel like I have almost nothing of an immune system, some of this I acknowledge to being diabetic, and maybe the rest to some strong voodoo. I think someone could sneeze in New Jersey and I would end up with a cold in Arizona. Anyhow, the viruses got shared at our home over Thanksgiving, everyone else gets better in 2 days, and I end up laid up for about 5 hacking and sniffling. It ain't pretty.
But wokr still gets done, getting our online registration ready for our biggest Maricopa event coming up in January, getting our online newsletter ready for a first rollout next week, rallying some participation on next week's NMC Online Conference in Educational Gaming.
Speaking of the NMC conference, check out the animated Larry Johnson, an eerie kind of Max Headroom experience.
Our office will be sponsoring registration in the NMC Conference for some folks at Maricopa. Over the years, we've tried some different ways to encourage people to "shareback" their conference experience with the rest of the system. As one example, on his own initiative, David Weaver, Physics faculty at Chandler-Gilbert, wrote up his experience of the 2003 International Conference on Thinking, as an MLX Package.
Last year, when we signed up some folks for the NMC Online Conference on Visual Literacy, we asked our Maricopa participants to post their session notes in a Wiki site. There was some success in this, but on the other hand, we heard a lot of struggling with the Wiki way (I belive there is a wiki-phobia out there), and some people we just never heard from.
For the upcoming conference on Educational gaming (Dec7-8), we are taking a different approach– we are asking each participant to create/use an account in our Maricopa ePortfolio tool, and set up an NMC Conference Blog page type, where they will record their own reflections on sessions they choose to "cover". I am using a Wiki as a front end to this, but not asking others to do wiki editing.
Because the eport blogs have RSS, I will also whip up an aggregated view.
Wow, that was easy. Since the maricopa ePort allows you to embed RSS content, I have just started adding the feeds to my sidebar for the eport Blogs being posted by my colleagues.
Well, I'd write more but must leave for a coughing fit.

Oct 15: Got A Rad Case of The Mondays
The Difference Between Tension & Stress.
I've got a favourite days of the week. And its not Friday anymore.
Honestly? Its Monday. Especially during Damn Early Life.
Like most of us here, there are things I want to accomplish and big things I want to dedicate myself to. Clearly seeing the gap between 'here' and 'there' brings on a natural tension.
In spite of that gap, if we are clear on where we want to go, if we know our Why for wanting to go there, and if we've chopped the progression into manageable steps, that tension turns into excitement and an energy that might be nagging at us on Sunday night, but that also pulls us out of bed Monday morning.
We fundamentally believe that something inside all of us that is drawn to the person we could become, even if we can't see it clearly.
So that means everyone feels the tension, too - but for so many, Monday brings a reminder (conscious or unconscious) that we aren't going where, somewhere inside, we know we want to go. We feel stuck, and that internal tension is stagnated. It becomes stress, and we either lash out with it, let it pour over in reactive sass, or turn it fully inwards on ourselves which over time can have tragic effects.
This TED talk below on stress is definitely worth a watch (even as a reminder if you've seen it already) It shows how stress can actually be a neutral or potentially positive thing if we frame it right.
We would agree and also argue that the tension behind stress can be one of the most positive forces we've got: energy intent on change.
An of course, a little Monday jam…

Dear Friends,
Greeting from Los Angeles where I am here on jq loves u business. Yesterday on my way to downtown LA, I stopped at my old stomping grounds in Echo Park to visit the Lotus flowers. I felt like I was visiting old friends. I took a few pictures of them to show you what they look like this time of year.
The most typical photograph of a Lotus flower is when it is in full bloom. The pod in the center of the flower is yellow and it has pinholes where the flower's nectar is extracted by dragonflies, wasps and other flower-loving insects. After fully blooming, the flowers slowly drop its petals and the yellow pod stands alone. Over time, it turns from yellow to green then fades to brown.
While the pod's color changes, the pinholes that once held its nectar start to open. They expand enough for the seeds to fall through the drooping pod as it turns towards the earth to drops its seeds. The seeds fall to the bottom of the lake's surface for next year's blossoms.
Sitting in front of the lake admiring these amazing Lotus flowers even after they have expired, I am in awe with Mother Nature. The lotus retreats into the darkness and faces the earth. It releases the rest of its seeds into the water. I never look forward to the transition we have to go through when we adjust to the change of time each year, but the lotus cycle has inspired me to plant new seeds in the dark for next year's blossoms.

Super changes should be made rarely: Bowen
Shadow treasurer Chris Bowen believes superannuation should be removed from the annual discussions and speculation surrounding the budget.
Instead, a Labor government would create a council of superannuation guardians to overview any necessary changes every five years, linked to the release of the Intergenerational Report.
He said changes to super policy and tax treatment should be made "carefully and rarely".
"That can be damaging to confidence," Mr Bowen told Fairfax radio on Friday after chairing a discussion of superannuation experts, business, unions and community groups in Sydney.

PUMA has released the New York version of the 'We are THE Arsenal' film series, offering an insight into the passion of Gunner's fans in the USA.
The 'We are THE Arsenal' campaign draws upon Arsenal being first registered with the word "THE" within the name, a unique detail in football history. This film features Olivier Giroud, Aaron Ramsey and Peter Cech, and fans from New York who give a sense of what 'We are THE Arsenal' means to them.
Hector Bellerin, who features in the film, said: "We saw the PUMA video of NYC fans watching our games early and eating breakfast with football, the fans we have in the US are fantastic, we love and appreciate their support!"
Over the next week, the final film of the series will be released that gives a broader view into the experience of Arsenal fans in London. They show the support for the Gunners lives with equal passion and commitment around the world, and the values shared by Arsenal fans are truly universal.
Speaking about the campaign, Santi Cazorla said, "The support for Arsenal in other countries as well as England is always overwhelming. When we see the lengths people go to to watch and support us, and the impact this has on their lives, it really inspires us to try and bring them more happiness. These films are a nice way to recognise the importance of the supporters, and to show their knowledge and passion is the same in every continent."
An especially gifted procrastinator who occasionally uses words the in order correct.

If you're still thinking of the best way to celebrate the harvest season, let me give you a great suggestion – get a Hopland Passport and enjoy two fun-filled, wine-induced days in the town of Hopland in Mendocino County, California. Your glass will never go empty as you go through 14 participating wineries known for their tongue-tingling vino.
Besides the libation, expect delectable food pairings, awesome tours, art, and live music to match your wine at each stop. What more could you want while you go bottoms up?
Wine is definitely celebrated in this quaint little town that has been resided by generations of Italian farmers since the 1850s. Thus, don't be surprised that Hopland is known to be California's best wine producers.
Are you convinced yet? Well, all you need now is a Hopland Passport, which is priced online at $45 per person. Advanced purchase is recommended because the ticket goes up by $10 on the day of the event. Do you have a designated driver? You should for the sake of safety, and besides, designated drivers receive free entry to the event after signing up. No wine will be served to them, but they can still enjoy the food tastings and all the merriment!
Here are some wineries that you can definitely look forward to.
Since it's a two-day event from October 18th to 19th, come stay in the village of Mendocino and you'll find cabins and guesthouses overlooking the Pacific Ocean. A wonderful lodging choice is Sea Rock Inn for its luxurious cabins and suites, offering the view of the coast right from your window. It's a perfect place to come home to after a tiring but pleasurable expedition at the wineries.

Peer Socialization Program
BAC Friends is a volunteer peer socialization after-school program designed to foster an inclusive environment where we enhance social interaction and communication between children with autism and their typically developing peers in a fun, engaging, and inspiring setting.
All children need friends. We aim to create a community of acceptance, a community that better understands autism and embraces diversity. Everyone is different in their own way and developing good friendships means accepting differences.
Peer socialization and play experiences are a vital part of all children's learning, development and culture. BAC students get the opportunity to learn and practice socialization and communication through interactions with peers. They are introduced to pro-social communication strategies that enhance social relations inside and outside the school, and reduce feelings of isolation. They learn attending skills, sharing, initiation, following instructions, social cues, boundaries, and modeling good behavior. They participate in mutually engaging activities that encourage interaction, communication, learning and fun.
The program teaches typically developing peers the unique and complex challenges children on the spectrum experience. They learn to recognize and accept differences in themselves by identifying their own affinities (strengths or gifts) and their own challenges (weaknesses or disabilities) and recognizing that we are all different in our own way. They learn mentoring skills, problem solving techniques, how to give direction and reinforcement, and how to manage challenging behavior.
Being a volunteer for BAC Friends is a commitment and means accepting the responsibilities to yourself and to the students at the Brooklyn Autism Center that will come to rely on your weekly visits. This program is very important for our students' growth and we can only make it the best program possible when all volunteers and parents pitch in and honor their responsibilities.
The 2018-19 program year runs from late September through mid-May. BAC Friends takes place on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30pm. The runs as 2 semesters: Fall (September through December) AND Spring (January through May). BAC operates on the NYC Department of Education public school calendar in terms of holidays and breaks.

Crochet Mukluk Slippers
These slouchy crocheted mukluk slippers are listed as easy.
You wouldn't think so by looking at the photo, but the description
on the pattern says that there are very few yarn ends to weave in.
That's an added plus!!
This pattern uses super bulky yarn and a size K (6.5 mm hook), so it
should work up fast.
Make a few of these over the summer months to have as Christmas gifts

Your "A" Game
How do you show up in life? When life gives you lemon do you turn into a sour puss or do you make lemonade? Your attitude has everything to do with how you show up everyday. It will also determine your level of success in all areas of your life. I know people who dim a room just by walking in it because they're so negative. I also know others that can light up a room. Which are you?
It's time that you bring your "A" Game. What is the "A" game? Well in my book it's as
- Attitude- I once heard from a great mentor that "it is your attitude not your aptitude that determines your altitude". Words of wisdom right there. You may want to re-read that.
- Attendance- Showing up and being reliable is huge. If you don't like where you're at in life, your job, career, etc. then make a change. Don't make excuses. Excuses are for the weak. AND guess what? You're not fooling anyone.
- Appearance- Take pride in your appearance. As unfortunate as it may be we are all judged at first sight. People will form opinions of you within seconds of meeting you. My grandmother drilled into my head to always be presentable because while you're taking out the trash or picking up bananas at the grocery store you may meet your future mate, next big client or employer. You just never know so always be prepared.
- Adaptability- Nothing is guaranteed but taxes and death. So we must go with the flow. Life is constantly moving and changing. Change can be a good thing and always remember that resistance is futile.
- Ambition- Hey not everyone has to be a doctor or lawyer or even go to college. BUT, whatever you choose to do, be the best at it…learned that from my mom. Always strive to grow and learn and stretch yourself. That is really where all the juice is.
- Accountability- Listen, we are not perfect. We all make mistakes. It's ok. Just own up to it and hold yourself accountable for your mishaps. Correct the issue and move on. Don't play the blame game, that's for cry babies. You're a superstar!
- Acceptance- "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
- Appreciation- Have an attitude of gratitude. We are really so blessed when we look at the grand scheme of things. We have all been through some crappy stuff at one point or another in life. If you're reading this, then you like I, survived.
Take a moment to look at all the stuff going on around the world and begin to look on the bright side of things. I know it's not always as easy as it sounds but wallowing in your story definitely won't make it any better. Everyday, give thanks for the roof over your head, the clothes on your back, shoes on your feet and food on the table. If you start you day giving thanks and appreciating life, you will automatically attract more blessings.
Are you ready to start showing up big and bringing your A+ game? Do it! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Dr. Aixa Goodrich

This birthday party suite brings the fun of San Antonio's Fiesta to life! I included elements like papel picado, Spanglish copywriting and a Southwestern display font.
Since my nephew was born on Cinco de Mayo and my family lives in the San Antonio area, we wanted his first birthday to be a fiesta! I developed a color palette to match the theme with a fun, primary look. I also created the papel picado so I could use elements across the suite, such as the fan shape that comprises the borders.

I walked the halls of RSE for the first time in a month and a half. The floors were freshly waxed; the walls, freshly painted. I felt giddy as I made my rounds just to see if anyone else was in the building. Seemed like yesterday I was tearing all of this down and moving my furniture into the halls for the summer. Man, it passed fast!
Speaking of passing fast, this time last year, I wasn't even HIRED YET! I had only been back from Haiti for 2 weeks! Little did I know, in my discouragement, I would interview, twice, get hired, set up a classroom, and begin teaching kinders in less than 5 days!? Wow. I can't even believe I survived, to be honest. Last fall was terribly stressful, and I don't think I realized just how intense it was because I couldn't even come up for air!
I'm fortunate to have more than just 2 days to set up my room this year, and I am beyond blessed to be back at RSE with a fabulous team of teachers and admin supporting me. Excited to get my class up and going, and to see where this year takes me!
Here's what I walked into today:

It's a scenic trip, the main state highway between Christchurch and Kaikoura. But that road trip, following the eastern edge of the South Island's Hurunui region, and running pretty much along the coastal pacific rail line, is one sure worth travelling. It sure is, when you want to check out some stunning New Zealand scenery, and find some equally memorable New Zealand food moments to stop in at along the way.
First, a bit of New Zealand rail history
The road is dotted with rural townships, and side roads leading off to expansive coastline. For many of those towns, their settlement was affected by the railway, always nearby - the main north line in the South Island, stretching out in this region between Christchurch and Kaikoura (and then to Blenheim and Picton).
This line is the longest railway construction project in New Zealand's history, kicking off in the 1870s, and not completed until 1945. That line's key role resulted in some settlements flourishing, where others, once thriving coach stops now bypassed by that line, hushed.
And, as a result of earthquakes in Christchurch and Kaikoura in recent years, the passenger line linking Christchurch and Kaikoura is currently closed. (Our photo, too, shows the charming Glenmark station, on the Waiau branch line previously running in the Hurunui region, from this Waipara station inland to Waikari station. Closed as part of the New Zealand branch line network in the 1970s, today special excursion trains run on the line through the Weka Pass.)
So, on the road now instead, stopping at these Hurunui region townships, you'll get a real perspective into New Zealand's rural heartland and fine country fare.
Then something for everyone
You're after a winery lunch experience in a spectacular setting? Or a more casual cafe with a playground for the kids, a moment for everyone to stretch out? Or a pick-up-and-head-to-the-beach option, for a classic picnic and fresh sea air while exploring some rugged coastline?
On your trip you'll pass through Waipara Valley, one of New Zealand's boutique wine growing regions, best known for pinot noir and riesling. (Waipara: Māori, noun - muddy water, sediment.)
Cellar doors, some stellar New Zealand food moments, and inspiring settings, await. Here's a chance to sit back and be spoiled by some truly excellent New Zealand food.
For more casual, but equally memorable, New Zealand food moments, there are plenty of tempting coffee stops and eateries… and spots to pullover and pick up picnic supplies and head east to the stunning coastline of Pegasus up to Gore Bay and north beyond.
A short detour for that coastline, and you'll spot typical kiwi coastal cribs (known in the north as baches, they're cosy holiday homes), and have a chance to blow the cobwebs out in that sea breeze, walking off cakes to die for… And there really is the chance to walk for miles, if that's how you're feeling.
Another moment to lift the lid on more New Zealand history, proving even the cook gets it wrong sometimes. At the southern coastal end of the region, the striking Pegasus Bay is in front of you - reaching north from Banks Peninsula to the mouth of the Waipara River - named after The Pegasus, a ship sailing the South Island in the early 1800s. In doing so, the crew corrected reference to "Banks Islands" (in fact, the peninsula) in Captain James Cook's charts from the 1770s - one of only very few errors on the maps from Cook's original expeditions.
Don't miss classic New Zealand food artisans
While there's no doubting you'll find some gorgeous classic eateries and take-outs, don't miss the opportunity to pop in to some equally classic New Zealand food artisans. You'll pick up some of New Zealand's top notch made, grown or raised food. Excellent butchery goods and pies, cheese, produce…
They're all but a stone's throw away, when you're on that road and in the know. That's the wonderful thing about being on the road isn't it, the chance to explore and find those treasures that are just a little tucked away.
And for more…

April 26, 2017
On April 26, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW) held an oversight hearing to review the Obama Administration's Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule. The WOTUS rule, also known as the Clean Water Rule, was established to provide a more clear definition of the waters protected under the Clean Water Act (CWA).
The EPA developed a report on water connectivity to inform the WOTUS rulemaking process, which confirmed the basic hydrologic principle that all parts of a watershed are connected to some degree. According to Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), Chairman of the EPW Committee, the EPA's report fails to examine whether connections are significant, and it does not address the issue of federal jurisdiction, therefore it cannot be used to justify the WOTUS rule.
Witnesses provided testimony during the hearing to assess which streams and wetlands should be subject to federal regulation. Misha Tseytlin, Solicitor General for the State of Wisconsin, said that the WOTUS rule is "an overbroad assertion of federal authority over local waters, which are rightfully subject to state, not federal, regulation." According to President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Wildlife Foundation (NWF) Collin O'Mara, however, the WOTUS rule is an important part of collaborative federal and state conservation efforts. Mr. O'Mara explained that the rule is a product of years of transparent scientific and public deliberations, and it protects the drinking water for more than 117 million Americans.
The hearing follows an executive order signed by President Trump on February 28 directing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to review and then rescind or revise the WOTUS rule. The rule is currently stayed (postponed from further action) pending legal challenges, including a petition before the Supreme Court to decide whether or not circuit courts should have jurisdiction to hear challenges to the rule.

Ellie is looking forward to visiting South Africa as part of the St. Mary's 2019 team "During my FA Level 1 coaching course, I took part in 5 full days, which included being taught various different techniques of how to coach children and what methods work best. I was then assessed on 3 different occasions, where I had to create a training session and then deliver it to the other people on the course (who acted as my students). In order to pass these assessments, I had to tick 14/15 marks on the criteria, which included points for "70% ball rolling during the session" and "setting personal goals for students within the session" etc. After passing the session I had created, I then had to complete 6 online modules, which included lessons on "how to act on match day" "respect for the game" and more. After finishing these modules, I then completed a first aid training course and a children's safeguarding course in order to complete the whole course. After completing this course, it means I am now a qualified level 1 coach in football. I am now able to regularly volunteer at the after school girls' football training with proper knowledge of how I can effectively help. Alongside this, I am going to South Africa this June with the Bambisanani Partnership, where I will help coach the children at Mnyakanya High school." — Ellie Lamb, Year 12 "I am very proud of Ellie completing her Level 1 coaching qualification. I look forward to seeing her use her skills when working at Mnyakanya High School in South Africa next month." — Mrs C Chattoe, St. Mary's Bambisanani Partnership Co-ordinator Visit the Bambisanani Partnership website

I was delighted to get an email recently from a favorite human-potential speaker of mine, Gregg Levoy, letting me know that his new book, Vital Signs— The Nature and Nurture of Passion, is coming out on December 26th. His first book, the bestseller, Callings— Finding and Following an Authentic Life, is one of those touchstones in my life that I often revisit for its inspirational insights (contemporary, historical, and literary) into creative, authentic ways of living and working. Because of its personal resonance for me, as well as the lively elegance of its writing, I used quotes from it in my own book, Success with Soul— Loving Your Livelihood, Living in Balance.
With Vital Signs, seventeen years and several significant life passages have passed for Levoy since the publication of Callings. This time he explores the particular ways he has learned to cultivate living with passion— cultivating wonder, the quest route, the call to wildness, the way of love, authentic expression, and taking risks. In Vital Signs Levoy is more personally revealing and willingly takes more risks, sometimes stripping himself— literally, emotionally, and spiritually— before our reading eyes, to let us feel "what inspires passion and what defeats it. How you lose it and how you get it back."
When I opened to the first chapter, "Eyes Wide Open— Cultivating Wonder," and read, "Years ago I saw the Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti perform….," I was hooked, because years ago I, too, had heard Pavarotti sing and had had the same experience— that "it was impossible not to recognize that Pavarotti's voice was heart-stoppingly beautiful, like nothing I'd heard in my life…."
This sense of the wonder in being fully alive and engaged in an experience that heightens one's senses and one's spirit is what I, too, have learned to cultivate and embrace— and seek to share with others through my work today.
Throughout this book, Levoy shares from a wide range of sources what it's like taking on and renewing a passionate stance with the deepest relationships in your life— with the longings and sensations in your body, in intimacy with another, with the wildness within yourself longing for expression, and in risk-taking that cracks open your fears and touches your spirit.
As in Callings, Levoy in Vital Signs draws from a rich, quirky, anecdotal brew of his own life stories and those of other life adventurers, mythology, art, music, biographies, philosophy, and science to share how people throughout the centuries have learned to re-discover and re-ignite passion in their lives from the same materials that haunt us in our own lives— our dead ends, stuckness, depression, and failures.
One of these stories is that of my friend, Bonnie O'Brien Jonsson, for whom the trauma of having her father declared missing in action during the Korean War ultimately led to her facilitating dozens of Year-to-Live groups (based on Stephen Levine's book, Year to Live]. In these groups, participants act on the assumption that they have a year to live, and are guided through a series of experiential exercises designed to help them come to a deeper understanding of the value of living fully in their lives now.
Basically, Vital Signs is a wonderful, highly readable book for gaining new perspectives on re-lighting the flame of your own passion when the demands of daily living or the weight of past misfortunes drain you of energy and curiosity. I strongly recommend it for inspiration that can kick you forward towards the changes you long to make to re-connect with your alive and vibrant self!
Below are a few examples from Vital Signs about reconnecting with passion that I really enjoyed and would like to share—-
What we're after isn't the wildness that's divorced from cultivated life and exists only in outbacks and hinterlands, belonging only to other species and other eons— though we seek that, too, sometimes. We're after the wildness that exists alongside daily life . . . It surfaces in those rich and raw emotions that occasionally manage to claw their way out of the bag of behavioral restraint and in those moments when you act with spontaneity— from the Italian word "sponte," meaning, once again, "willful," "of one's own accord," "obeying natural impulses."
The rub is that to take advantage of the healing power of a confiding relationship, you've got to actually confide. You've got to reveal things that many people are terrified will lose them the very love they're after. Meaning that the hunger to be safe works against the hunger to be known, which will have to fight against a stiff headwind to gain purchase in your psyche and your relationships.
Just prior to quitting my job as a reporter, I had lunch with a mentor of mine, and when I mentioned my fear of failing at self-employment, he said, "Gregg, if you're not failing regularly, you're living so far below your potential that you're failing anyway.' Which reminded me why I had lunch with the guy maybe once a year.
But whether life came about through accident or intention, through natural selection or God, whether we believe every atom in the universe is saturated with infinity or divinity or lime-green Jell-O, it doesn't diminish the fact that it's amazing any of it is here. And equally amazing that each of us is connected to the passionate force that put it all here.

DC's "zombie rails" won't stay buried and are causing cyclists and drivers grief
If you travel frequently on 11th Street NW through Shaw and Columbia Heights, you might have noticed that the road's asphalt is deteriorating in an interesting pattern. That's because a relic of DC's bygone transit system — old streetcar tracks — are buried just underneath the road's surface. Those remaining tracks are causing the street to crack and crumble far faster than it should.
Zombie streetcar rails won't stay buried
Geoff Hatchard wrote about "Zombie Rails" like this back in 2010, and it's clear that the problem hasn't gone away. The uneven base under the pavement of 11th Street here means that the dead rails are constantly trying to claw their way back to the surface. Some spots simply have two parallel hairline cracks, while in others, the rails have caused serious damage to the road. In more and more places, you can see the entirety of the rail.
This is starting to become an issue between T Street and Florida Avenue, a gap in a popular north-south bicycle route where bike lanes disappear into sharrows. During morning and evening rush, you'll often find a throng of 6-10 cyclists having to maneuver around not only cars and buses, but also areas of pavement so damaged they're impossible to bike over.
These rails are leftover from the 60 route, which was decommissioned in 1961. However, these tracks aren't the only present-day reminder of the old streetcar. The aptly named "Trolley Turnaround Park" at 11th and Monroe Streets reused the end-of-the-line loop as a public space and playground. Similarly, Lamont Park in Mount Pleasant was built in the old turnaround track for the 42 line.
What do we do with zombie rails?
This is a long term issue in road maintenance on 11th street and elsewhere. In the long run, streets that still have rails buried underneath them will have to be repaved more frequently, not to mention the higher "pothole tax" cost drivers and cyclists pay in repairs.
A provision buried in the DC Code from the 1940s indicates that the Capital Transit Company (the private company which ran the old streetcars) was to be financially responsible for the removal of rails when a line was shut down. It's clear that didn't happen everywhere.
Not too far away on 14th Street, tracks were recently removed as part of a comprehensive streetscape improvement, while on O and P Streets in Georgetown, tracks were preserved with cobblestone streets. 11th is a significant arterial, so it probably doesn't make sense to preserve the tracks in the same way. This certainly isn't the only place where tracks weren't properly removed or preserved. Should there be a more serious plan to deal with these zombie rails, or will DC will keep letting the ghosts of its old streetcars continue to resurrect themselves?
