Brooklyn Nine-Nine has me thinking about superheroes. It's making me remember a Superman panel where he's talking to Nightwing — in a park, in the middle of the night — when a police officer comes upon them:
It's a sweet moment. It says, "Remember the everyday heroes. They keep us safe, too." And like last night's Brooklyn Nine-Nine, it makes me happy and it makes me sad.
I eye officers in uniform with suspicion nowadays. I turn down the volume on my music or podcast. I grip my phone, making sure it's ready to record. Is every cop bad? No, they're just human. Humans can be good-hearted, helpful, and kind. They can also be suspicious, make mistakes, and hurt others.
Last night's episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine has me thinking about all of this because they finally tackled the big, black and blue elephant in the room: racial profiling. Sgt. Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews) asks Detectives Peralta (Andy Samberg) and Santiago (Melissa Fumero) to babysit his twin daughters, Cagney and Lacey, so he can work on a city council liaison application. Later that night, when Terry is outside his house looking for a missing toy, he's detained by a white cop. The cop forces him to the ground, cuffs him, and only releases him when Terry's identity is finally checked.
Despite the humiliation of being profiled in front of his daughters, Terry doesn't want to file a complaint. He wants to talk to the officer and help prevent it happening again to another black man. Terry meets with the cop at a nice restaurant — a great gesture of wanting to build friendship — and even gets an apology. There's an invisible asterisk to the apology, though. The cop is only sorry for treating another cop badly; otherwise, he doesn't think he did anything wrong.
After that admission, Terry decides it's time to file a complaint, but his boss, Captain Holt (Andre Braugher), won't file it. The rejection of the complaint upsets Terry so much that he goes to Captain Holt's home to talk. he tells the captain this story: when he was just Little Terry, he wanted to be a superhero. One day some other kids were picking on him for wearing his cape when they suddenly ran the other way. Little Terry looked behind him and saw a policeman in his uniform. After that, Little Terry wanted to be a cop.
Then Terry tells Captain Holt that he's happy he had daughters because that meant he didn't have to tell his son what it means to be a black man in America.
Let that sink in.
In the 80s and 90s, "very special episodes" for sitcoms were common. The first one I can remember is an episode of Punky Brewster that was tied into Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign. Family Ties had one episode where a relative is diagnosed with Alzheimer's and another where Tom Hanks is the alcoholic uncle. The problems always affected guest stars. They were there for a week or two, were fixed, and never mentioned again.
When Brooklyn Nine-Nine premiered, Black Lives Matter had been formed in the wake of the Trayvon Martin murder trial. In the summer between its first and second seasons, Eric Garner was choked to death in Staten Island and Michael Brown was shot on the street in Ferguson, MO. Both were killed by police officers. Suddenly, a work place comedy about a squad of Brooklyn cops had a light pointed at it because it was a show about cops. For three seasons viewers waited for its very special episode.
My verdict on the episode is that it was refreshing. Instead of bringing a guest star in to be the profiling victim, they used a cast member. This time, the guest star was the biased cop. Plus, the writers chose the best character/cast member to use for the storyline.
Sgt. Jeffords shares a lot with the actor who plays him. Both are weight lifters and monitor their nutrition to aid their fitness regimens. Both are family men who love spending time with their kids (Crews bought an incredibly expensive pc gaming system to play along with his son.) Jeffords personality is calm and respectful; it takes a lot to make him angry. He dresses nicely, smiles a lot, and likes to get goofy. He's the kind of person you hide behind for protection.
He could also be someone you'd hide from if you saw him alone at night on the street. He's a tall, muscular man and, for some people, that's a scary thing. Brooklyn Nine-Nine's point is this: it's okay to be cautious of tall, muscular people; but it's not illegal, especially if they're black. It's a simple and important lesson.
By the end of the episode Captain Holt has changed his mind and filed the complaint against the officer. They suspect Terry didn't get the liaison position because of the complaint, but they toast over a drink all the same. Just filing the complaint is progress. They decide to remain optimistic about the future of the NYPD.
I remain optimistic about the show because I know this topic won't be one and done.

Marriage ceremony Celebration
If one day shouldn't be sufficient we're pleased to help with pre and publish wedding celebrations. It's believed that a black diamond engagement ring enhances relationships, increases inside power and gives steadiness and readability. It is no surprise that Indonesian couples typically save for years for their weddings, or go into severe debt , borrowing money from friends and family left-and-right to finance their more and more outrageous weddings.
A gorgeous assortment of white gold, yellow gold, rose gold and sterling silver rings awaits you, made with diamonds, sapphires, ruby, opal, jade and more. Additionally, Albert's Diamond Jewelers is proud to be a full-service jewelry store, and affords companies together with jewelry repairs, value determinations, financing accessible with approved credit score, particular occasions, and so much more.
After the bride and groom followed their parents, bridesmaids, ring bearer, flower girls and the eager guests got here last. Right here in Richmond, couples who want a traditional Lebanese marriage ceremony have the choice of holding the ceremony at Saint Anthony Maronite Church in Glen Allen.
At the moment there's an Ashkenazi custom for the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom to face together and break a plate. The great thing about our engagement rings is each design is replicated in yellow gold, rose gold and white gold. This group escorts the groom to his bride's house, and then sends them off in a shower of shouted blessings and flower petals.
Traditional wedding ceremony songs are sung during the entire ceremony. A very powerful step is saptapadi or saat phere, whereby the bride and the groom, hand-in-hand, encircle the sacred fire seven occasions, every circle representing a matrimonial vow.

What's It Like to Be a Developer?
My manager has invited me to help her give a talk to students in a Web Development program. I have been working in the field for about 18 months, and a lot of the uncertainty is still fresh in my mind: what is it like to be a programmer? How can I get a job as a junior? What can I do now that will help me in my first job? I didn't know many people in the industry, and was unaware of the vast meetup community1. Answers to these questions were difficult to find online, so over the next few posts I will make an attempt.
Meetings: Important communication tools.
Programming is mostly about decision making, and not all decisions can be made alone. Questions like, what technologies to use, how you should spend your time, and how to scale, require meetings with managers and other teams.
Sprint planning is a weekly meeting where the team gets together with managers to prioritize tasks for the week. You look back on last week, and either carry over tasks you didn't accomplish, or re-prioritize based on what has arisen in the meantime.
Standups happen daily, and should only last around 10 minutes. You each take a turn sharing what you worked on yesterday, what you are working on today, and whether you are blocked by anything. It is important to speak up when you are stuck! Sharing your blockers will usually result in help; someone may have encountered this problem before, have a new approach to suggest, or have insider information that can get you to a solution.
Demos will happen on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, and are an opportunity to share your accomplishments. While many stakeholders are involved in the project and sprint planning, they are often disconnected from the work as it is being performed. Regular demos help to keep them in the loop, and are an opportunity to explain both progress and unexpected delays.
Code reviews can be formal or informal, and allow your team to gain consensus on style, design, performance, and testing. Your code design decisions will have an impact on the project as a whole, so it never hurts to get feedback from a teammate before you ship it. Readability is more important than cleverness, and is a kindness to future maintainers.
A portion of your week will always be spent in meetings. Try to identify when your most productive hours are in the day, and keep that time free. For example, if you lump meetings around lunch (none before 11am or after 2pm) you have a solid chunk of time in the morning and the afternoon to focus effectively.
Stories: How big ideas are turned into actions.
An idea like "improve the user's experience of widget B" is a goal, not a task. It can be broken down into stories such as: identify the problem, brainstorm solutions, design the new widget, and implement the new widget. Each of these stories are actionable: there is a clear path from start to finish. Use the single-responsibility principle in your stories as well as in your code: if you use the word AND to describe the task, that is a hint that you should have two stories instead of one. Most companies will use a task management, or ticket system such as Pivotal Tracker or Jira, where you can see what work is assigned to you, and where managers can check in on your progress.
Feature Work: What should be built?
Product managers have their eye on the market. They know what features our customers want, and they know what our competitors offer. A product manager will build a product road-map with a long schedule (think months and years, not weeks). The team will sit down with the feature requirements and a first-draft design, break it down into stories, and estimate the time/complexity of each story. Managers then apportion those estimates into chunks of work — in Agile, these chunks are laid out in sprints2.
Defining work in this way lets you identify what can be done in parallel and what needs to be in place before the next task can be accomplished. It also gives project managers the information they need to make decisions about what to sacrifice in order to meet a deadline. If the project is over the time budget, and gold-plated widget A needs features 1, 2, and 3, then maybe you can ship the widget with only 1 and 2, but save 3 for later. Sometimes you have to compromise on feature completeness just to get it out the door.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance: Detective work.
Finding a bug is like being a detective: you gather clues, follow leads, and occasionally end up lost in a blind alley. A single line of code can hold multiple bugs (Pro tip: watch out for Regexes3 — they are a great place for bugs to hide). In a code base with hundreds of thousands of lines, you will inevitably spend more time hunting and fixing bugs than writing new code.
Deploying code: Sending it into the wild.
Running an application in production is not the same as running it on your computer. Your application may need to serve thousands of requests per second, and a single instance running on a single server won't cut it. There is a whole stack of management software that you would do well to be familiar with, and having at least a passing familiarity with Jenkins, Capistrano, and bash scripting will help you when it is your turn to carry the pager.
Pager duty: Evil alarm clock.
When you write software that your customers use around the clock, you have to be there when things break, no matter what time. Most companies will institute a rotation to share the burden of vigilence around the team. Having great documentation about what to do in an emergency is essential to finding a clear path of action at 3am. As with anything, the more you prepare, the higher your confidence level will be.
The job is far from routine because of the diverse set of problems to solve. I have become comfortable grabbing a story without already knowing the answer, partly from knowing that if I get stuck I am no more than a "Hey Bryan," or "Hey KWu," away from someone who wants to help, even if it is at 3am (thanks again, Vince!).

Leicester will look to arrest Liverpool's fine run of form with all three points from their Premier League clash at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
Premier League
Date: 1 September 2018
Game week 4
Kick-off: 13H30 (BST)
Venue: King Power Stadium
Referee: P. Tierney
Assistants: D. Cann, A. Holmes
Fourth official: A. Marriner
Head-to-head summary:
Leicester City 90 33 20 37
Liverpool 90 37 20 33
Previous encounter:
Liverpool 2-1 Leicester City 30/12/17 (Premier League)
Liverpool goalscorers: M. Salah (52′, 76′)
Leicester City goalscorer: J. Vardy (3′)
Players to watch:
With Jamie Vardy missing this tie as he serves the last of his three-match suspension following his red card against Wolves, Leicester could look to the talents of James Maddison to lead the line against Liverpool. The 21-year-old has impressed during his limited time on the pitch for the Foxes this season, following his switch from Norwich, and netted an opening day goal.
Liverpool's main man is Mohamed Salah and he scored both goals the last time these two sides met. The Egyptian has two goals already this season, although his teammate Sadio Mane has three this season and looks to be a man inspired for the Reds.
Team form and manager quotes:
Claude Puel's side lost their opening Premier League clash to Manchester United, but have since won three games, beating Wolves and Southampton in the league and Fleetwood Town in the League Cup last time out.
Jurgen Klopp's charges are on a winning run, beating West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion, without conceding a goal.
Ahead of the game, Puel reflected on his side's injury status, saying: "There are no fresh injuries.
"It is just Matty James (Achilles) who will not be available and all the other players are fit."
Klopp added: "You can see Claude (Puel's) work is now paying off at Leicester. They have changed the style a bit. It is good football they are playing and are full of confidence especially after the last result (v Southampton).
"I am fine with what I've seen so far but Leicester will be different. The midfield is really strong. Looks good, defensively line played together for a while."
Klopp is not interested in the bigger picture as he prepares the Reds for a 'real fight' with @LCFC.https://t.co/lAu5lciCVj
— Liverpool FC (@LFC) August 31, 2018
Team news:
While Vardy misses out for Leicester with a suspension, James remains sidelined with his Achilles problem, and Caglar Soyuncu is not fit enough for duty.
For Liverpool, Dejan Lovren continues his rehabilitation from a pelvic problem and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is a long-term injury absentee.

Present Tense Suck: Tung Hing Bakery
There are many things I don't know about the city, like how this stretch of Kingsway, with Vietnamese storefronts slightly outnumbering their Anglo and Chinese counterparts, is known as Little Saigon.

Nokia 8.1 is good to go to end up HMD Global's next smartphone at an official unveiling expected right on time one month from now, on December 5. Nonetheless, only in front of its launch, asserted authority marketing material and promotional blurbs have been outed. The leaks recommend that the Nokia 8.1 is indeed the worldwide variant of the Nokia X7, and is the phone which was already codenamed Nokia Phoenix. The leaked marketing publications flaunt the plan components of the upcoming smartphone separated from its key specifications and highlights.
A report by NokiaPowerUser gives us a gander at the leaked marketing blurbs of the Nokia 8.1, only days before the normal authority launch. An initial couple of shots demonstrate the structure of the Nokia 8.1, which looks like that of the Chinese Nokia X7 - with a similar display notch, Nokia branding on the bottom chin, a vertical dual rear camera setup, and the round rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Other than that, the notices uncover a 20-megapixel selfie camera, Android 9.0 Pie, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC, a 6.18-inch full-HD+ display panel, and a dual rear camera setup with OIS and Zeiss optics. It is additionally appeared to sport the equivalent dual-tone anodized metal casing as the Nokia X7. Clearly, the Nokia 8.1 will run an Android One-based stock rendition of Android Pie out-of-the-crate, as has been the situation with all new Nokia worldwide handset models.
To review, the Nokia 8.1 launch is normal at HMD Global's launch event in Dubai on December 5. It is interesting to note that the Nokia X7 will probably make its worldwide presentation with the Nokia 8.1 moniker, while the Nokia X6 and Nokia X5 are called the Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 5.1 Plus, individually. An India launch event is set for December 6, and we can anticipate that a similar model will be launched in the nation.
It is supposed that one more, premium, Nokia smartphone might likewise be unveiled at this HMD event one month from now. This could be the much-awaited Nokia 9 flagship. On the off chance that indeed evident, the Nokia 9 could sport premium specifications, for example, a 6.01-inch display without a notch, a Penta-focal point rear camera setup, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC coupled with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB inbuilt storage.

For your personal use, we have created an extensive patient library covering an array of educational topics. Browse through these diagnoses and treatments to learn more about topics of interest to you. Or, for a more comprehensive search of our entire Web site, enter your term(s) in the search bar provided.
As always, you can contact our office to answer any questions or concerns.
Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains are caused by an unnatural twisting or force on the ankle bones of the foot, often resulting in one or more ligaments on the outside of the ankle to be stretched or torn. If not properly treated, ankle sprains could develop into long-term problems.
Bunions are misaligned big toe joints that can become swollen and tender, causing the first joint of the big toe to slant outward, and the second joint to angle toward the other toes.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails, also known as onychocryptosis, is usually caused by trimming toenails too short, particularly on the sides of the big toes. They may also be caused by shoe pressure (from shoes that are too tight or short), injury, fungus infection, heredity, or poor foot structure.
Foot & Ankle Surgery
Ankle surgery may be required to correct a serious deformity of the ankle and its bone structure. Injury (such as a fracture), birth defects, or changes throughout the course of life are the usual culprits.
Flat Feet
Flat feet are a common condition. In infants and toddlers, the longitudinal arch is not developed and flat feet are normal. The arch develops in childhood, and by adulthood, most people have developed normal arches.
Hammertoe is a deformity of the second, third or fourth toes. In this condition, the toe is bent at the middle joint, resembling a hammer. Left untreated, hammertoes can become inflexible and require surgery.
Diabetes and Your Feet
With a diabetic foot, a wound as small as a blister from wearing a shoe that's too tight can cause a lot of damage. Diabetes decreases blood flow, so injuries are slow to heal.
Heel Pain
Plantar fasciitis (or heel pain) is commonly traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. Our practice can evaluate arch pain, and may prescribe customized shoe inserts called orthoses to help alleviate the pain.
Corns and calluses are protective layers of compacted, dead skin cells. They are caused by repeated friction from skin rubbing against bony areas or against an irregularity in a shoe. Corns ordinarily form on the toes and calluses on the soles of the feet.
Athlete's Foot
A chronic infection caused by various types of fungus, Athlete's foot is often spread in places where people go barefoot such as public showers or swimming pools.
Call for an Appointment: 352-684-1444
If untreated, skin blisters and cracks caused by Athlete's Foot can cause serious bacterial infections. The treatment of Athlete's Foot depends on the type and extent of the fungal infection, so it is important to consult our practice before choosing a therapy.
Athlete's Foot can usually be treated with antifungal creams. Re-infection is common, so it is important to continue the therapy as prescribed, even if the fungus appears to have gone away. Lasting cases of Athlete's Foot may require foot soaks before applying antifungal creams. Severe infections that appear suddenly (acute) usually respond well to treatment. Toenail infections that develop with Athlete's Foot tend to be more difficult to cure than fungal skin infections.

I carve using rotary hand tools (very similar to the tools of a dentist). There is a hand piece, a flexible shaft and a foot pedal, all powered by a hanging motor that assist me in bringing my visions to life. I like to use just a tad of oil paint to accentuate my cuts.
This carving is finished with spray urethane.
SHIPPING IS INCLUDED in the price of the carving to the USA! Please see my "Policies" for international shipping.
Feel free to contact me for any reason....If you have a custom carving in mind or a question about a carving that I have for sale, you can reach me here on Etsy, carpcuts [!at] live.com or 740-385-4487.

My carvings can be cleaned using many different methods. A feather duster works nicely. Compressed air (duster or air compressor) also works well. If on a porch or indoors, my carvings will never need a new coat of sealer. Chainsaw carvings that are outdoors will need a fresh coat of sealer each year.

Until it developed a hole I had no idea our stove had a Baffle or Throat plate. Our stove ran cold (all the heat was going up the chimney)! With hindsight the plate had been changing shape and hanging down but I hadn't investigated what was going on until we clearly had a hole !
We LOVE our stove. - but I found myself wondering if my decision to buy a cheaper Chinese stove had been the wrong
one. It has been installed for almost 5 years and it is our major heat source most of the time so it works hard.
Having spoken to Gr8fires I realised that ALL stoves need a replacement baffle plate from time to time.
I quickly ordered the baffle plate and was delighted with the cost an speed of delivery especially as we live in the Highlands. Fitting it was a tad tricky (think James Herriot assisting a cow to calf) but my husband got the job done in 5 minutes.
Our stove is back to being fabulous.
Thank you Gr8fires - we will definitely recommend you and come back to you for any other stove needs.

- Needs a bit of adjustment.
The two notches/indents at the sides of the baffle plate seemed to be a quarter of an inch too near the corners. I had to cut small squares from the metal in order for my two bolts to slot through and hold the plate securely. With an angle grinder, it's easy to do but I'm puzzled why it was necessary.
On a plus note, delivery was great and my last baffle plate lasted more than 5 years. It's a great stove and I'm glad to have it back in good shape. It's burning now!
Gr8fires reply: sorry to hear you had difficulty installing the part this is the first instance we have heard of this. They can be tricky to install but this is because they are made as large as possible to deflect the flames properly but still allow the plat to be removed for servicing.
Price Quality Delivery
- Absolutely spot on!
I bought this for my Evergreen Hawthorn stove as a backup, and do not envisage fitting it in the immediate future. The manufacturer's reference for this stove is ST-0147B, but I have also seen it marketed in the UK as the ST1018.
I was initially apprehensive that it could be the wrong plate, because the listing photo only showed a topmost view. However, I checked over the phone and am pleased to report that it appears 100% identical to the plate that originally came with my stove. I paid £23.65 including VAT and carriage, which was a bargain, and the plate arrived in 4 days time, despite the Christmas rush.
I am absolutely thrilled with the service that gr8fires have provided and look forward to dealing with them again.

We're guessing that if you're looking to get TEFL qualified it's because you want to find a job teaching English, so you're going to want to make sure that the course you take will give you the best chance of finding a great teaching position.
Occasionally, we're asked by someone why they should pay for one of our courses when they can buy a Groupon TEFL course for as little as £20 to £50. Of course, we're inclined to recommend you get TEFL qualified with us as we strongly believe in the quality and value of our courses (as do thousands of our graduates!), but it really is essential for you to know how to choose a course that's going to properly prepare you for teaching English and get you a job.
Why do we think it's important to talk about this? Recently we've been contacted by employers who have informed us that they don't accept these budget TEFL qualifications, as well as individuals who have purchased these courses and have become concerned about their job prospects and the quality of these courses. We want to help you make an informed decision so we've put together some information we hope you'll find helpful.
What does it mean for a TEFL provider to be accredited? Simply put, it means that a provider has undergone external monitoring to ensure the courses they offer meet a certain standard of quality set by the accrediting body. This is extremely important because anyone at all can create and market a course, but if it hasn't been monitored by a credible external body then there is simply no guarantee of quality.
But what accreditation should a TEFL provider have? There isn't a single accrediting body for TEFL courses, which means you'll find that most reputable providers are accredited by recognised and established bodies that are not focused solely on TEFL. Not all accrediting bodies are equal and the easiest way to spot a quality TEFL provider is if they're accredited by government and/or government-affiliated bodies. Membership of an organisation or register is not accreditation – remember, accreditation entails external monitoring, not just the payment of an annual membership fee.
If you can't find information about a provider's accreditation on their website or if they're only accredited by one body that seems to specialise in accrediting budget courses then we recommend proceeding with caution. We're the most accredited provider of TEFL courses in the UK and you can easily find further information about that here.
Why are Groupon TEFL courses so cheap?
Our courses are competitively priced, and the cost reflects what's offered. As with anything, you get what you pay for! Groupon TEFL courses keep costs so low because they don't have the same level of quality-control or tutor, technical, and administrative support. They also usually include hidden costs, such as a charging for a hard copy of your certificate, which can sometimes actually be more than what you paid for the actual course!
If a provider mentions that fees apply for certain services – such as certificates, extensions, faster marking – but doesn't specify the price always make sure to query this before signing up because these fees can really add up. You could end up spending significantly more than the initial cost of the course.
Did you know that Groupon takes a 50% cut from deals advertised on their site? That means if you buy one of these budget TEFL courses for £20 the company is only getting £10! These hidden charges are where these companies make their profits.
Our courses are designed and led by highly qualified and experienced EFL teachers and you'll have the same tutor with you for the duration of your online course. They will mark your work within 48 hours, provide feedback, and you can contact them with any questions you have throughout the course. There are also no hidden fees – you'll receive a hard copy of your certificate at no extra cost regardless of where in the world you're based, and everything you need to complete the course is included.
Will the course be recognised by employers?
Not always – some employers may accept the qualification, but we are aware of those that won't. We've previously written about TEFL scams and bad employers and we know that bad employers don't care much about your qualifications so will often accept anything.
Accreditation isn't just important for you but it also gives reputable employers assurance that the teacher has undertaken training of a certain quality – if they see that the company you've gained your qualification with isn't adequately accredited then they may not recognise it. Put yourself in an employers shoes – if you have a Groupon TEFL qualification and are up against other candidates who have a qualification with a highly accredited and internationally recognised TEFL provider then who's going to stand out?
If you're looking to find a job with a good employer then it really is worthwhile to invest in a TEFL qualification from an established provider that has a good reputation worldwide. It might not seem like much to potentially waste £20 on a Groupon TEFL course, but with hidden fees that that can start adding up up you could actually find yourself a lot more out of pocket.
Do your research and make sure the course you choose is going to prepare you to teach English, provide you with support both during and after the course, and give you the best chance of finding work! You can always get in touch with us if you have any questions and you can even ask current students and graduates by joining our Facebook group.

It seems that not only are bloggers leaving WoW in droves, a number of them are leaving MMO's in general. Pete at Dragonchasers and MMOGamerChick have decided to give up on the MMO genre for the time being at least. I personally can't wait for March so that I can sink my teeth into Dragon Age 2. I have it preordered already and have put a new lock on my office door to keep the kids out. (No not really. Come on, I'm not that mean. The kids can come in, just not the wife!)
So what SP Games are you looking forward to? Maybe a new one or one of the classic titles collecting dust on your Steam account or waiting to be purchased from Steam, D2D, or GoG. I think it is a good idea to take a break from MMO's on occasion if for no other reason than to catch up with the rest of your life. Come up for a breath of air once in a while, it makes the MMO swimming that much better.

Two hours south west of Siem Reap lies Battambang, a fascinating city that is only beginning to get the credit, and tourists, that it deserves. Awash with French era colonial villas and with the unmistakable buzz that only Cambodia can provide, the town provides visitors with an authentic urban experience that cannot be found in the tourist hotspots of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
Providing arguably the best street food in the country and a busy central market, it is a lovely town to simply explore on foot, crisscrossing the river as you go. The best accommodation can be found in some wonderfully restored colonial villas in the heart of the city, including La Villa and Bambu. For those not 'templed out' by Angkor, there is the nearby Phnom Banan, a small hill temple providing a wonderful vista of the plains below and showing the scars from the civil war years.
For many, the highlight of Battambang is a sunset ride on the wonderfully imaginative and quirky bamboo train - a flat, homemade bamboo platform placed on rail wheels and then powered by an outboard motor – for a picnic in the rural paddy fields that surround the town. Evenings are best spent eating street food on the riverfront or in one of the colonial themed cocktail bars and restaurants. Another great way to see the town is from the water as you cruise along the Sangker river, and at sunset, it provides an insight into local life residing along the banks.

We're proud to have helped countless customers
Excellent service and policy. What impressed us most is the claim we had for our daughter last month. The Claim was paid very quickly with out hassle. We only had co-pay for the emergency room visit.
We called our agent during the situation, turns out he was out of state at the time but still returned our call very quickly . He gave us the advice and information we required. That's service! A very pleasant experience with an insurance company and agent.
We made an inquiry and were bombarded with high pressure calls until we talked with Advantage Insurance Advisors, who gave us information instead of hype.
We kept in touch with our agent as he was informative and knowledgeable. Finally sat with him recently which was an excellent decision on our part. We locked in our rates for 3 years instead of the 12 months.
Found ways to keep our insurance cost down. Get money paid back to us if we were hospitalized. All in all insurance is not fun but he helped us understand the system and save money . Definitely a two-fer. Thanks!
Got the most benefits for the dollar. Very knowlgeble about insurance. He spent the time to help us understand how insurance works. We were very satisfied with the service and benefits.We will recomend to others.
Honest, fast and reliable. Thank you so much much for your help with my family's coverage. I was extremely impressed with the knowledge and experience of your staff. This company saved me $318 a month on my life insurance and improved on health policy to cover what we really needed help with. Two thumbs up!! Thanks Advantage!
Great experience . Very informative & knowledgable. Better rates than Obamacare. Our rates were good for three years and most important we can go to any doctor. Best PPO deal out there in our opinion.
Our group Insurance for our small business (17 people) was getting un-affordable. I really thought we were going have to stop providing insurance. Advantage Insurance Advisors helped us set up our own private benefit exchange that we can control for our business.
Each of us could pick whichever benefits and insurance providers we felt best for individual needs. We saved thousands monthly over what we were paying on our old plan. We got more benefits and it's still write off for my business and pretax deductions and compliant with all the new health care laws. I highly recommend Advantage Insurance Advisors. I now have Obama care under control!
There is so much confusion when you look on the internet. I was referred by a friend and truly relieved to find Advantage Insurance Advisors, who knew what they were doing and talking about when it comes to insurance. Got my monies worth for sure!
My experience was very positive, and conducted very professionally. I inquired about an individual plan for me and two other people, and was comparing prices… Advantage was able to get me more coverage and at a better rate than his competitors… I was very pleased!
We inquired about medical insurance earlier this year as our rates went thru the ceiling! We had several calls from people all over the country. We got a call from Advantage Insurance Advisors about 2 days after the inquiry.
He was the only one we talked to that seemed professional, knowledgeable and sat face to face with us. We scheduled the appointment for the next day. We signed up based on the benefits and his expertise. My husband this summer had a mild stroke! The policy paid so well as we had no deductible but also paid us several thousands for having a stroke. I was able to take time off from work to tend to my husband and not worry about the bills. Needless to say we have referred several others to him.
We met with Mr. Wright late one evening. I didn't know what to think about a stranger invading my home at that hour.
Much to my surprise everything went great. He was very cordial and took the time to explain everything to us in a way we could understand. We are relieved to have that process behind us.
We met with Advantage Insurance Advisors and others. I must say the Advantage agent knows his stuff! We had a large claim and they paid as described. We also got money for being out of work. I would highly recommend his services.
The service and plan options they provided me for our health insurance quotes were very helpful. It made our decision much easier and I am pleased with the overall service. I would recommend Advantage Insurance Advisors.

Officials at Robins AFB, Ga., have opened an off-site lab outfitted with 3-D printers which are being used to make obsolete metal aircraft parts needed to keep an aging fleet operating. The Air Force Advanced Technology and Training Center, located in a former Publix grocery store in the city of Warner Robins, will allow engineers to use additive manufacturing to save time and money over existing methods, reported the Telegraph. "Much of the work that has been done on the base has been done in the same method for years and years," said Maj. Ben Steffens. "This equipment, this technology, this material that we are dealing with here is cutting edge and will bring us to the next level as far as keeping our schedule down, keeping our cost low," he said.
Housing the facility off base will make it easier for the installation to attract young engineers to start careers at Robins. Officials can bring in high school and college students for tours and offer them internships. A second reason for the lab's location is the base does not have space for a new building with parking.

Home to Actors' Equity, 1560 Broadway underwent major redevelopment in 2014 and was connected to the neighboring landmarked I. Miller Building by architects Rosen Johnson. The ambitious project included the addition of a monumental new office entrance, a 100-foot-long fourth floor sky lobby served by shuttle elevators and providing direct dispatch elevators to the top floors, and the opening up of four contiguous floors of prime Times Square retail space, created by moving the original office entrance, to deliver significant street presence. Positioned at the center of the Theater District, 1560 Broadway is a landmark of commerce that now takes an even more prominent place in this always vibrant location, drawing people to world-renowned shows, major retailers and a multitude of eateries. Numerous subway lines at nearby 42nd St-Times Square, Rockefeller Center, 49th Street and Port Authority provide fast transportation links with all areas of Manhattan and beyond.

Oh how I wish in my early years as a believer I had read something like this. I will admit, hard as it is, if I could take what I know back 26 years, I would NOT have married the man I did on 8/13/88. I don't regret it, but I know now that he was not the believer and leader I thought he was and I'll carry the mental, spiritual and emotional scars for the rest of my life.

The Penny Story
A great story floating around on Facebook, and a reminder. You can bet I will never fail to pick up a coin on the ground in the future and not stop for a moment to pray.
You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, gifts from angels, etc. This is the first time I've ever heard this twist on the story. Gives you something to think about.
Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home. My friend, Arlene, was nervous about the weekend. The boss was very wealthy, with a fine home on the waterway, and cars costing more than her house.
The first day and evening went well, and Arlene was delighted to have this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live… The husband's employer was quite generous as a host, and took them to the finest restaurants. Arlene knew she would never have the opportunity to indulge in this kind of extravagance again, so was enjoying herself immensely~!
As the three of them were about to enter an exclusive restaurant that evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of Arlene and her husband; He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement for a long, silent moment..
Arlene wondered if she was supposed to pass him. There was nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped, and a few cigarette butts Still silent, the man reached down and picked
up the penny.
He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found a great treasure. How absurd! What need did this man have for a single penny? Why would he even take the time to stop and pick it up?
Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at her. Finally, she could stand it no longer. She casually mentioned that her daughter once had a coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been of some value..
A smile crept across the man's face as he reached into his pocket for the penny and held it out for her to see. She had seen many pennies before! What was the point of this?
"Look at it." He said. "Read what it says." She read the words " United States of America ."
"No, not that; read further."
"One cent?" "No, keep reading.."
"In God we Trust?" "Yes!" "And?"
"And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin. Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It is written on every single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it! God drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him? Who am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my trust IS in God at that moment… I pick the coin up as a response to God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold. I think it is God's way of starting a conversation with me. Fortunate for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful!
When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk. I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I read the words, "In God We Trust," and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the message.
It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of pennies in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful! And, God is patient.

Being More And My One Word
I follow a fun, quirky, insanely intelligent woman, Sandi Krakowski. I stumbled upon her due to my involvement in direct sales, as she is one of the many gurus in the business. I actually found her because her picture appeared in comments or some such thing on another expert I follow. I was drawn to her first because of her crazy hair. It is Neapolitan! Being one that likes wearing pink in my hair, especially my bangs, I had to check her out. I have struggled at times with just being me and let the folks who take time to know me make their own determination about me that isn't based on hair. But just seeing her encouraged me to continue on being me and let the chips of judgement fall where they may.
Sandi has recently begun hash tagging the word combo, BEMORE. As in Be More. At first I thought it was cute, but it wasn't long before it started to really hit me just how powerful that is to BEMORE.
BEMORE loving toward my enemies. (1 Peter 3:8-12)
8 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, becourteous;[a] 9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For
"He who would love life
And see good days,
Let him refrain his tongue from evil,
And his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good;
Let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their prayers;
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."[b]
It is a pretty tall order really. That alone could take me years to achieve but I'm to lean on Christ to help me BEMORE because on my own I cannot do this.
BEMORE diligent to spend time in prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:14-18)
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. 15 See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Darn, there is that evil for evil thing again too, but then praying without ceasing could be the way to do this.
The list will go on and on through the year of 2014 as I set out to focus on my One Word, BEMORE.
Thanks, Sandi Krakowski, the Lord has used you to help me find my "word" for 2014.
Aspiring To Be A Proverbs 31 Woman
If you have ever read Proverbs 31:10-31 you are familiar with the Virtuous Wife. This and the Titus 2 woman seem to be the bar of standard set for the woman who follows the Lord to aspire too. And if you are female and have ever tried to achieve this standard, you likely went sideways long before you ever reached the goal.
For me, for starters, I'm not married. Divorced 3.5 years now, I'm reaching for the praiseworthy girlfriend edition of the Proverbs 31 gal. Don't panic, I've got a way to go before I win the gold medal.
My life's landscape has changed since last year, I'm living with my boyfriend, yes in sin, no we don't need a reminder of this, we get it. We won't try to justify it because we cannot. I cannot. But after spending 22 years married to someone who bailed on me, his faith etc, I'm gun shy. The boyfriend is equally gun shy after being married and not having 'happily ever after'. We don't need the ceremony and rings at this point, it is the level of commitment that matters. I'm all in, as is he, and when the time is right the rest will follow. Yes we're aware this sounds like justifying our sin. No we are not doing that at all, it's simply the facts.
Back to me and that impossible level of being woman that the Bible puts out.
I've been living here about 7 months now. Strange as it is, we've not had a cross word between us. No fights, no arguments, no bickering. That is not to say that it cannot or will not occur, but it is less likely. Neither of us tries to bait the other to a fight. There is no being insulting, no name calling. What there is, is adult, mature discussions about things. And believe me when you living with someone, carving out a future, being 'step-mom' part time to his 3 kids, with no mutual past to build on, there are discussions. We have decisions to make, dreams to share, desires for what the future holds for us, and these in the chapters of life known as middle-age.
Without a shared past, we lack the "remember when…" conversations. Instead we are sharing our versions, life experiences through our eyes, in getting to know each other. We also got to come to this stage in life together with a completely clean slate. There isn't any "well YOU did…" and so on about our past. This is actually good for us, no throwing the past up in each others faces. So what does this mean for this wacky, quirky woman?
It means I go at being significant other, mother figure, etc with no baggage or ill feelings. I cook dinner often because I enjoy doing it. I'm playing with recipes and enjoying knowing the tummies are full after dinner is cleaned up (She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household). I bake brownies because they are enjoyed. I gladly clean up after dinner because I want too. Laundry is a labor of love, as is the simple things like making the bed. I'm appreciated immensely for my efforts. I work full time too, helping as much as possible, with the expenses of this household. I have 3 direct sales businesses (She considers a field and buys it; From her profits she plants a vineyard) that I am trying hard to make into something profitable. There are many more things I could add that are, in my opinion, modern takes on the verses of the Proverbs passage, but you get the idea. I'm trying. My faith is back on track and my focus where it belongs. Funny, I don't have to work at it now, I'm happy, I love my life and love where I am, and love the man I'm sharing life with now. All that I do to help make this a home, comes from the heart and a desire to make everyone happy here. It doesn't feel like work at all most days, it's just what I do. It's just me.
I have a long way to go, but I am enjoying very much where I am now.
The Virtuous Wife
10 Who[b] can find a virtuous[c] wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
15 She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all."
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.
Being Less & Wanting To Be More
"Simply shouting on Facebook about your Bible believing tendencies with a verse quoted every few days isn't enough to convince anyone that you truly do believe what you say you do. When you post pictures of someone you dislike and you discredit them, malign them and seek to gain likes to yourself by discrediting others NOW we really show what we believe and hold as truth. In this case, we show others that ego runs my life." ~ Sandi Krakowski
OUCH! Guilty!
First let me explain, I follow Sandi as a sort of online business coach. She is amazing. I had no clue who she was, just stumbled on her on Facebook one day because of the pink in her hair. Being a woman who likes sporting that color in my bleached locks, naturally I was drawn to check out another woman, this one amazingly successful, who is not afraid to be in her 50's with Neapolitan colored hair. She is a Christian, and a business woman who is the social media guru for online selling as far as I can determine.
Today in her daily email, she was talking basically about what we truly believe, and to paraphrase, walking the talk. That paragraph above jumped out at me, especially in light of things I'm studying lately in the Bible. Mostly about speech, the tongue, words etc. I'm totally guilty. When it comes to loving my enemies, when I'm the one being talked about and maligned, well let's just say it is extremely difficult to find them lovable and act accordingly.
Sandi is hash tagging #BEMORE on everything of late and I love it. Constantly reminds me that I need to BE MORE than I am now.
I also came across this over the past week, and went as far as to print it off and post in our offices at work, to encourage everyone as we are working through a difficult time in our company with the passing of one of the owners, and getting things back on track:
Start by doing what's necessary;
then do what's possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
~Francis of Assisi
What is necessary for me personally is to keep studying God's word.
What is possible for me personally is to BE MORE, pray more, love more.
And the impossible? It's in God's hands!
So, I'm going to continue to BEMORE, follow Christ, read my Bible, and walk out my faith.
Loving My Enemies
Love Your Enemies
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.' 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,[b] 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren[c] only, what do you do more than others?Do not even the tax collectors[d] do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
It IS easy to love those who are in our camp, who love us and support our view. Those who rally around us telling us what we want to hear even when we may be dead wrong. But when it comes to loving those who do not like us, maybe hate us, speak evil and unkind words about us…those we'd consider enemies. Well that is a much more difficult task. Seemingly impossible, and maybe it IS within our own strength. But then nothing we do is to be in our own power, it is from God that we find the ability to forgive and let go of grudges.
I know, I've been there. For several years I had harbored bitterness in my heart. And bitterness takes root and if you've ever tried to kill weeds you know how tough that can be to remove them for good! But I also knew it was what I had too do. Once I released the hold I had on that bitterness, and yes you read that right, I had hold of it, I was the one not letting go, it died. An emotion only has power over us if we hang onto it, nurture it and help it grow. Every time an unkind thought came into my mind toward the persons I felt bitter, I would refuse to think it, and replaced it with a positive one.
Don't misunderstand, it wasn't and some days still isn't always easy to pray for an enemy or someone who has hurt me. When I reach out and try to extend an olive branch and it is shot down, it is very difficult not to go on the defense and lash out. Sometimes I do trip over the issue and post or say unkind things. But this work in progress manages to let God's spirit speak to my heart and I again try to right the wrong.
So, I keep praying for my enemies, and love them from a distance. No matter what they do or say, they cannot stop me from doing this, and in the end it isn't really about them. They will answer for what they do, I have to worry about answering for what I do.

I know I'm not the first, nor will I be the last person to express horror over the process of trying to get a mortgage refinance on a home loan. How many blogs are there in the world on surviving cancer, heartbreak, menopause or the death of a loved one? I can't imagine; but I figure everyone who writes about a tired subject gets to add something new to the conversation — maybe, hopefully — and, most importantly, gets to relieve themselves of the stress in the telling. So, forgive me for writing about an experience that has been told before, but the stress nearly did me in!
I won't bore you with the weird, robotic and nonsensical reactions we got from The Lender in regard to average checking account transactions. Neither will I bother you with the shocking amount of documentation that is required of people with very decent income, fantastic credit scores, no debt, zero late payments and excellent property values. Doesn't matter. If you're just a little bit of a risk, sorry, Charlie; you don't get to walk in the door. If you're absolutely no risk, prepare to be abused, dehumanized, debased and grilled on all expenditures, large and small (especially the small stuff) until you want to chop off your own head off and hand it to them on a nickel-plated platter.
The fun doesn't stop there, though. In our case, we had just been approved for a long-coveted business line of credit with the SBA. When time came to sign those documents, our mortgage broker advised that The Lender would view this new funding source for our business as a new debt — and that it would derail the refi. We had to walk away from the line of credit. Once the refi went through, we resubmitted the business line application, but the SBA said we now had to wait a year to re-apply. Why? No reason. That's how things work in The Twilight Zone.
But that wasn't the coup de grace! As the final condition to reducing our interest rate—not giving us more money, mind you, just giving us the same loan at a reduced monthly payment (banks make money when they resell your loan) — they demanded we close a credit card account with a $50,000 credit limit. For the last 12 years we've used this card as a lifeline for our business because no bank would give us a line of credit. Now we have no line of credit and no business credit card.
Banks have arranged it so that you can barely survive this world without using credit cards. (Yes, you can use debit cards. But trust me, if you have a small business that's doing well — not bad, not great, just well — you need cash flow.) And after they've got us by the balls, they pull the rug out. Why? No reason needed. In fact, nonsense trumped reason every single step of the way on the hellish Road to Refi in The Twilight Zone.
But hey, our monthly mortgage payment is $800 less than it used to be!
Oh, the irony of relativity.
This episode reminds me of a line that jumped out at me in the book, Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi:
"It is amazing how, when all possibilities seem to be taken away from you, the minutest opening can become a great freedom."
About Carine Fabius:
I love: hanging with friends, wine and martinis, helping people get to a better place. I also love meditating and Kundalini yoga; politics, writing, watching movies, art and hot weather.
I worry about: our privacy, climate change, Haiti, the second-class status of women in so many countries, the state of our food supply and the next big crisis: inaccessibility to water.
I really dislike: banks, insurance and oil companies, right wing crazies, insomnia and hot flashes.
What I do: I am the author of five books, owner of a contemporary ethnic art gallery, freelance museum curator, and temporary body art pioneer.
I am 56, married, 1 dog, 1 cat, and I live in Hollywood, California. Happy to be included in this fabulous group of women!
