Pass SB 553 in North Carolina and give women the right to revoke consent!
This petition had 642 supporters
There is an archaic law on North Carolina books that is dangerous and unfair to women. The law makes it legal for a man to continue to have sexual intercourse with a woman if she initially gave consent but later revoked it. This is rape. This law is dangerous to women and perpetuates a culture of rape, which is a very real and dangerous reality for women all over the world.
In North Carolina in 1979, State vs. Way ruled that if a woman initially gives consent for sex and later withdraws consent after the initial penetration, it is not considered rape if the man decides not to end intercourse. (http://law.justia.com/cases/north-carolina/supreme-court/1979/51-1.html
While there is currently a bill in the stages of being reviewed by the committee, it will likely be stagnant for another two years. That's two more years that women will continue to be raped. That is two more years that no doesn't mean no for women in North Carolina. Let's demand that lawmakers do something about this now.
There are many recent cases that highlight the importance of pushing this bill through immediately. Just earlier this year, a 19-year-old woman found herself being forced to have sex with a man who refused to stop after she wanted to end intercourse once he became violent. To her dismay, she also found out that others had recorded the incident on a cell phone. And to add even more pain to her suffering, she learned that this old, misogynistic law kept her from being able to press rape charges. (http://www.fayobserver.com/news/20170622/nc-law-woman-cant-back-out-of-sex-once-underway
Sadly, her story is not uncommon. But while many women may be able to find justice with the law in other parts of the United States, North Carolina keeps this decades-old law on the books.
How many women and girls will suffer rape while the bill sits awaiting review? How many of our friends and family members will legally be raped before lawmakers take our lives and our rights as women seriously? Let's put pressure on the NC legislators to pass SB 553 now!

To India and Beyond!
From visiting the top of the tallest building in the world, to riding in rickshaws winding in and out of the INSANE Delhi traffic, to bartering in markets, to celebrating at the most beautiful and luxurious Indian wedding, our trip to Dubai and India was jammed packed every minute with adventure.
If you've been following along with us on Instagram, you know that over Thanksgiving week we flew to India for our friend's wedding in New Delhi, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime for us!
The long trek began as we drove with our friend, Jessica, and her coonhound, Curtis Lowe, from Chicago to outside DC in Virginia. We were super pumped to embark on this journey and we definitely would need the adrenaline to keep us going over the following few days of travel as we drove 12 hours overnight Thursday into Friday, only to again fly all day Saturday into Sunday from DC to Dubai.
Dubai: Upon arriving at 8AM in Dubai, our bodies were ready to sleep but with only a 14 hour layover we pressed on to explore this United Arab Emirate wonder.
Driving to the Burj Khalifa, we were struck by all of the extraordinary and futuristic architecture towering over the downtown of Dubai (and by how little they all looked up from the 148th floor of the Burj Khalifa!!).
After taking in the views from the Burj Khalifa and walking around the Dubai Mall (the most extravagant shopping experience ever, not to mention the huge aquarium with SHARKS), we headed out of downtown Dubai to the area of Deira, which boasts souks and bazaars filled with gold, spices, clothing and so much more, all at a "special price, just for you" ;)
After a long day of trekking around Dubai, we were ready to just about fall over by the time we got back to the airport. In fact, we barely remember the cab ride there. But somehow, someway, we were back in the air on our way to Delhi later that night.
New Delhi: Now we arrived in Delhi at 3 in the morning, local time, but we were still able to take note of two very abruptly different occurrences in Indian culture compared to life here in the States: driving is insane and the lines, or as they call them "queues", at the ATM go on for hours.
In regards to driving, we are still not quite sure if some sort of subliminal order exists that we as foreigners were simply unable to interpret. To us, it seemed like an unplanned (and highly uncoordinated) dance with too many dancers, and not enough choreography. Although the streets are marked with lines for lanes, these white dashes are at best mere suggestions. One may drive straddling these lines or wavering back and forth to and from various lanes for miles on end without even thinking of it as odd!
Driving down any road is a constant state of blaring horns, flashing lights, and watching with amazement at how no one is crashing into each other at all of the 6 point roundabouts that make a game of Frogger look like a breeze.
After we became familiarized with the driving and how traffic is maneuvered, the sheer fear of zipping in and out of cars progressed to a nervous laugh by mid-week to by the last day hopping in a small motorized rickshaw like it ain't no thang (well...mostly! ;) )
The other interesting phenomenon occuring in India during our time there was a nationwide invalidation of the most commonly used rupee notes.
This meant that most cash transactions now were occuring with their smallest bank (or potentially much larger) notes and meant there was a limit to the amount of cash one could withdraw via ATM. The lines were incredibly long, and unfortunately this did prevent us from being able to get Indian rupees for buying from smaller shops that did not accept card. It was fascinating to learn about the reasons behind this ban from people we met and through some publications. Check out the linked article above for more details on their currency crisis.
If chaos can summarize our experience on the Indian streets, luxury would define our accommodations at our hotel.
We stayed at the Imperial Hotel in New Delhi and the experience was nothing short of top notch. We felt incredibly blessed to get to experience this iconic hotel during our stay!
As the name suggests, there were many British influences in the design of The Imperial and we loved wandering through the halls just to admire the aesthetic and notice all of the beautiful and elegant details.
The Wedding: Of course the main event which brought us to India in the first place was the wedding of our friend Rohit to his beautiful bride, Ekta! After hearing so much about their love story over the last few years it was amazing to see them finally together and the love they shared.
The gracious bride and groom invited us to also attend, and we (Jen and Jessica) were able to participate in the mehndi!! It turned out absolutely beautifully! That night we also attended Rohit's mendhi and joined in for the dancing and festivity.
The wedding celebrations began two days before the wedding ceremony starting with Ekta's "mehendi function" which is where the bride's friends and family come to have their mehndi (henna) done!
In India, a couple is technically not "engaged" until they have an engagement ceremony shortly before the wedding. So the day before the wedding we then attended the engagement party. The engagement party was an incredible celebration complete with (SO MUCH) amazing Indian food, gorgeous choreographed dances by the couple as well as various family members, and followed by celebratory dancing that all could join in. We did our best to really sleep hard that night since the next day was the wedding!
On the day of the wedding, Rohit and his family participated in a ritual involving pouring oil on the groom's head, putting tumeric on his skin, and then tearing his clothes! After that we hurried to get ready for the wedding which was quite an ordeal but not a story for elaborating here... (let's just say it involved booking a trip to the Taj Mahal, standing in a terribly long "queue" for an ATM, and learning to wrap a saree via youtube!!) We were terribly late for the parade (or Baraat) on which Rohit rode on a horse, but for once the Indian standard of timekeeping really swung in our favor - the parade started quite late but we arrived just in time to be part of it.
The parade was such an experience - the noise of music, talking, and laughter filled the air as his family danced their way down the street. Once Rohit finally arrived at the end of the parade, Ekta made her grand entrance. I think our hearts stopped beating for a moment as she walked in to the most beautiful wedding song and her flaming red veil floated around her held up by various attendants. She was perfection! As the ceremony began we started to realize that most friends and family were getting up and walking around, talking, and getting food. Eventually we realized the ceremony would be intimate- between only Ekta, Rohit, the priest (I believe called a Brahmin) and some family members. There are no microphones, and the ceremony is looong. So we followed suit and chatted with others at our table, ate some (again AMAZING) Indian street food. After they were announced we all had an opportunity to take photos with the happy couple. We're seriously THRILLED for them and can't wait to get to know Ekta when she makes her home here in the Chicago area!
After the wedding we had about 1.5 days to pack in any other sightseeing we wanted to accomplish.
The day after the wedding we woke up at the crack of dawn and headed to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal.
It was truly incredible to see, but also completely mind-blowing to see an entire town living in poverty and unsanitary conditions yet in the midst of it all rises up one of the extravagant Seven Wonders of the world!!
Whew! Well if you made it through all of that, we applaud you! We packed in a lot in 9 days but it was absolutely worth it to see the other side of the world and celebrate with our friends' marriage!
With love from Chicago (home sweet home),
Daniel + Jennifer

2016 was an enormously exciting year for the folks here at Mtn. Dog Media! We built, in our humble opinion, some of our best custom WordPress sites to date. We are all lifelong learners and constantly striving to improve our skills and the quality of our digital products. Therefore each new custom web design project we take on is an opportunity to better ourselves as a team. Over this past year, we were extremely fortunate to work with some very groovy Boulder-area small businesses to help them launch some stunning sites! Here are our favorite six websites from 2016!
Maddie Berky
Maddie has been a Mtn. Dog Media client since the summer of 2014 when we helped her develop the brand identity and website for ElevationRowing.com. Quickly thereafter we helped Maddie with the brand development for Mad Wellness, her paleo nutrition and fitness coaching business. Maddie has done some incredible work over the last few years, running nutrition and wellness programs for participants all over the country, and amassing a loyal blog and social media following. In the summer of 2016 when Maddie told us she was looking to update her personal brand we couldn't have been more excited if we tried!
Our lead designer worked intimately with Maddie to create the new Maddie Berky logo and brand aesthetic. Our staff photographer obtained a gorgeous collection of portraits for the new website and our development team did a fantastic job bringing this unique design concept to fruition. This website is unconventional, featuring non-traditional design elements like a left hand navigation, and a playful use of a-symetrical parallax photos throughout. Click here to explore MaddieBerky.com.
Thrive Tribe Snacks
Whenever possible we love working with companies that promote healthy lifestyles and a sustainable future, so when Thrive Tribe Snacks reached out to us about a new custom website, we knew we were a perfect match! Thrive Tribe (formerly Wholly Bites) manufactures an array of delicious gluten-free snacks. They are local to Boulder, Colorado and a certified member of B Corporation. The fantastic logo and brand aesthetic for Thrive Tribe was developed by 1908 Brands here in Boulder. It was an honor to work with their design elements and bring this project to fruition! Click here to check out thrivetribe.com.
Mary Ellen Wood
If you've lived in the Boulder County area for any length of time then you are aware of the insanely competitive real estate market here. Inventory has been consistently declining, while prices have been on the rise. We had the pleasure of meeting one Boulder realtor that really distinguishes herself with her knowledge and approach. Mtn. Dog Media became acquainted with Mary Ellen Wood through the Louisville Business Network in the fall of 2015. In the spring of 2016 we were thrilled to help her create a beautiful, modern website worthy of her outstanding work.
Our lead designer worked to create a simple, clean and elegant design. Something that would standout against all of the standard real estate templates. We were especially excited to work with our partnering videographer to capture outstanding drone footage for the home page of the site. Our development team did a great job building this custom WordPress theme pixel by pixel. There is also a very useful MLS integration, so clients can search available homes, and several custom forms for lead generation. Click here to take a tour of MaryEllenWood.com.
Ozo Coffee
Ozo Coffee became a digital marketing client of ours in the fall of 2015. It's been a joy managing their social media accounts and getting to know the fantastic people behind this inspiring business. Not only does Ozo serve delicious specialty coffee at their four Boulder County cafes, but they truly go above and beyond the call of duty to be respectful and conscientious of our environment and community. Everything from forming direct trade relationships with coffee farmers throughout the world and compensating more than fair trade, to using all compostable trash bags and to-go cups in their cafes.
We were eager to jump on board to help Ozo Coffee rebuild their WordPress site, which was riddled with functionality problems. Our development team dissected the old site and built Ozo an entirely new custom WordPress theme. We streamlined and enhanced the eCommerce functionality, improved site load time, created a mobile responsive design, and optimized the website for search engines. Click here to head on over to OzoCoffee.com.
Sponge Technology
You don't typically think FUN when you think sponges, but we quickly learned to make this association when we met the dudes over at Sponge Technology. We were amerced in a world of infinite colorful sponges! These guys are manufacturing a common household product that most of us use every day without much consideration. Little did we know that there is an entire world of custom cellulose sponge manufacturing and one of the biggest players in the game is right here in Boulder, Colorado. We were delighted to help Sponge Technology design and develop a playful and stimulating website to advertise their products and services. Click here to forever change the way you look at sponges! And click here if you'd like to see the custom website we built for Twist Clean, their ALL NATURAL sponge!
Mayfield Plumbing
Sean Mayfield was looking for a local Boulder web design agency when he found Mtn. Dog Media. He was in the process of starting his own plumbing business after 20+ years in the industry. He needed a simple website with an emphasis on search engine optimization to drive new leads. Our professional copywriters worked with Sean to develop all of the keyword optimized content for the website (learning quite a bit about residential plumbing in the process). Our lead designer worked to design a simple and attractive website that would distinguish itself from the ranks of mediocre plumbing sites. The Mtn. Dog Media development team executed a pixel perfect build out on this site. Click here to examine the nuts and bolts of MayfieldPlumbingBoulder.com.
With all of these projects under our belt it's hard to imagine what 2017 will have in store! What new design innovations will we be able to develop working with small and medium sized business owners here in Boulder County and beyond. If you're interested in learning more about our web design and development services don't hesitate to schedule you're free consultation today!

Adam Struzik, Marshal of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship in Poland, has today called for changes to the European Commission's propositions for the Multiannual Financial Framework because they discriminate against the Mazovia Region. His statement took place at the EU Committee of the Regions' Plenary Session as part of a forum for EU matters affecting local and regional authorities.
Referencing the publication of the European Commission's proposal for the Multi-annual Financial Framework and a set of regulations regarding Cohesion Policy in the next financial perspective of the European Union, the Marshal insisted that attention should be paid to the "unfair and discriminatory approach" towards Mazovia Region and regions Vidurio ir vakarų Lietuvos regionas (the region around Vilnius, the region with Vilnius is Sostinės regionas – Lithuania), Pest (the Budapest region includes the capital – Hungary), Southern (the region including the capital is Eastern and Midland – Ireland) and Southern Scotland (area NUTS 2 with Glasgow is West Central Scotland – Great Britain). The reason behind his concern is that the proposed division of funds used economic data for 2014-2016 and that this did not take account of the new NUTS 2 classification for Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Ireland and Great Britain. As a result, the whole of Mazovia was included amongst the richest regions.
This is problematic because since 1 January 2018 there are two statistical NUTS 2 regions in Mazovia, which has more than 5 million inhabitants: Mazowiecki Regionalny (Mazovia Regional) and Warszawski Stołeczny (Warsaw-Capital), which is made up of Warsaw and 9 surrounding poviats. Disproportion in development between two parts of the region is the largest in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. GDP per capita in the newly created Warszawski Stołeczny region in 2015 accounted for 148% of the EU average, while in Mazowiecki Regionalny less than 60%. Accoording to Marshal Struzik:
Marshal Struzik therefore underlined this decision will deprive regions that are less developed but inappropriately classified as highly developed of the much needed support. "Their potential will not meet the requirements assigned to more developed areas, that is very high own contribution – 60% of the investment or focus on the most ambitious and difficult to realize thematic objectives " Struzik said.
Due to the above, and in order to achieve the objectives of cohesion policy, the Marshal stressed that it is necessary to recalculate the reference data for 2014-2016 period for all regions, taking into account current statistical divisions at the NUTS 2 level or to introduce derogations for those regions that will submit data enabling the above mentioned recalculation.

This e-book provides types and tactics to layout pipeline analog-to-digital converters, compensating for machine inaccuracies, in order that high-performance specifications should be met inside of brief layout cycles. those types are in a position to shooting and predicting the habit of pipeline information converters inside under half-a-bit deviation, as opposed to transistor-level simulations. consequently, a ways fewer version iterations are required around the layout cycle. versions defined during this publication effectively are expecting temporary behaviors, that are key to the functionality of discrete-time platforms and consequently to the functionality of pipeline facts converters.
- Describes effective systems for heirarchical top-down layout of pipeline converters;
- offers new methodologies to lessen bottom-up iterations, via inherent embedding of transistor-level parameters, corresponding to parasitic capacitances, transconductances, and saturation currents;

4) Transistor-level parasitics, as well as sizes for transistors and power consumption are accurately estimated thanks to a set of Matlab routines. These routines include valuable information on the technology using look-up table techniques. 5) The bottom-up iterations are drastically reduced since the parasitics and transistorlevel parameters are well estimated from the beginning. In fact, only fine tuning is required after the post-layout parasitics are established. 6) Both high- and low-level specifications mapping are combined in a single synthesis procedure, which basically allows us to consider the dependences between the different abstraction levels and improve the synthesis results.
Typically, this task is reserved for experienced designers who decide which is the best solution in accordance with the knowledge acquired from previous designs. Once the topology has been selected, the converter specifications must be mapped onto high-level specifications for the basic building blocks (high-level specifications mapping). A simulation-based optimization procedure is normally used for this purpose. As performance evaluator, a behavioural simulator is the most common approach as it provides fast performance evaluations and an acceptable resolution.
This technique requires the addition of two more switch sets, which enable the OTA to commutate between the two stages. The advantage afforded by this is that the number of amplifiers required is halved and power consumption is significantly reduced. However, this technique has two main drawbacks. First, the additional switches introduce a series of resistances which, in combination with the amplifier input capacitance, affect the settling behaviour of the stage. Second, the non-zero input voltage of the amplifier due to the OTA finite DC gain and offset voltage is never reset.

Walking down St Charles avenue you see many splendid houses, almost mansions. I am reminded of Ward Parkway in Kansas City, Missouri. With the lawns, trees, and architectural features it makes the walk all the more aesthetically pleasing.
This house always draws me in with the red roof and the arches on the front of the porch. The trees and manicured lawn frame the house in a picture of the form we expect beauty to hold.
The photo was taken by me using my iPhone 5s. Editing was performed using the #snapseed and #laminar pro apps.

When my doctor diagnosed me with diabetes, I knew that I was going to change everything about my life. My aunt had diabetes, and I saw what not taking care of yourself did to her. I didn't want to go through the same complications, so I decided to change my lifestyle. I went on a weight loss plan, and I also started eating healthier. I lost 10 pounds in just a few weeks, and my sugar levels were getting more stable already. When my aunt suggested that I get some turmeric pills with black pepper to help maintain my better levels, I wasn't sure what she meant.
She told me that even though she had went through years of having high blood sugars, she had finally found the trick to getting them under better control. She told me that she had purchased some turmeric pills with black pepper after reading an advertisement for them, and they were actually helping her. I read everything I could on these pills, and I knew that they would be safe to take. I really liked that they have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, because I read where both of these can be beneficial to a diabetic.
I bought some from the same website that she used for a couple of reasons. First, the price was right. Some of the sites I had looked at wanted a lot more, and I am simply not made of money. Even if I was, it only makes sense to get it from the cheapest one. The second reason is because it was made with ingredients that made it a top quality supplement. It is kind of funny because now that I am taking these supplements and lost some weight, I am the healthiest I have ever been. It took getting diabetes to do that to me.

Employee Appreciation – New York, NY
ML2 coordinated an employee appreciation event with lasting impressions that made it memorable.
Creatively designed invitations fashioned anticipation for this NYC event.
Employees traveled in style via a luxurious deluxe motor coach and enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in route to Bowlmor Lanes and Pressure in NYC for an employee appreciation event that included a unique lounge and games. "Big Lebowski" company branded bowling shirts motivated some heated-up glow in the dark competition and made the occasion "teambuilding" memorable. We transformed the second floor multimedia lounge into a brand intensive environment with company gobo's. Zany comedies played on 21-foot movie screens and DJ dance music pounded on a state of the art sound system. No warm pints of beer were served at this event; it was cocktail favorites with a twist and upscale comfort food. Between bowling, billiards and dancing, everyone had so much fun an encore extension of the party continued well into the night! Guests left talking about this event and were already looking forward to what might delight them at the next celebration.
This event encouraged sharing, openness, and camaraderie between leadership
and employees. It was a striking success!

Cityscape: San Fernando Cathedral
Despite the claim at the end of the 19th century by Col. Juan Seguin — and the thousands of times it has been repeated by River Walk tour guides — the remains of those who defended the Alamo "are almost certainly not" buried at San Fernando Cathedral, according to the Texas State Historical Association.
But even without the controversial legend, the structure easily is among the most historic in San Antonio, and in Texas.
Settlers from the Canary Islands are believed to have first set the cornerstone for the structure, originally named Church of Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria y Guadalupe, in 1738. It did play a part in the 1836 Battle of the Alamo. Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna ordered a red flag flown atop the church to signify that he intended to give no quarter once the battle began.
Former San Antonio city engineer Francois Giraud, who would later serve as the city's mayor, began to reconstruct the crumbling, bat-infested church in 1868. Although the alterations included a new nave, bell towers and buttresses, the project did leave the original walls standing in what is now the sanctuary area — allowing it to be considered Texas' oldest standing church and the oldest cathedral in the United States.
Designated a cathedral by the Catholic church in 1874, its visitors have included James Bowie, president Lyndon Johnson and Pope John Paul II.

I have spent a lot of this week trying to figure out why I have been feeling so fatigued for the last 10 days. Following a visit to the doctors and a blood test we determined that there was nothing physically wrong with me. Reviewing my last couple of weeks on holidays including training and nutrition I believe that a combination of diet and environment has led to this increased fatigue. Coming of my broken collar bone I trained hard to get back to racing fitness. During this time over the holidays my nutrition and recovery were not 100% and this contributed to my fatigue. I've been satisfied this week that I've done the right things with my nutrition and recovery and my body is starting to feel better for it. Some things that I have learnt this week the:
- Fuelling your body; Without the correct diet and nutrition you are destined to fail. Although there was nothing hugely wrong with my diet I was missing key recovery meals (nutrients and timing) and over/under eating whilst attempting to navigate holiday festivities and diabetes. I managed for a while but it eventually caught up with me and I crashed badly.
- Trust your training programme; I have historically been great at doing high volumes of training and not so good at doing the specific training. When you work with a coach you've got to trust them 100% and follow the training programme and especially get the intensity right. The quality over quantity mantra rings true here.
- Carbs stores & BGLs; Managing blood glucose levels (BGLs) is difficult and it is sometimes easier to not eat before and during a session rather than try to manage insulin, food and then BGLs. I have been struggling to keep my BGLs stable and I fell into this trap. I wasn't eating correctly around my training session which intern caused high/low BGLs and the associated issues. Managing diabetes with correct nutrition is a critical part of training and although it can be very difficult you've got to stick with it.
- Accept the diabetes challenges; The fact is that diabetes is never easy and it won't always go to plan. You can't get upset by this and you've just got to push on as best you can and get things right for your next session. An important thing that I have learnt is that support from you training partners is invaluable. When they understand what is going on they can support you and help you get through a session (and let you eat their last energy bar!).
I was not able to definitively identify the reasons for my fatigue last week but through extra rest and focussing on my diet I am now feeling a lot better. In the pool and on the track things are progressing very well but I am still not feeling 100% on the bike. It's really important this coming week that I continue working on this so that by the start of February I am back to normal and ready to race. I am happy that this week has been an improvement in volume and intensity over last week.
Things that I will be working on in the next week will be:
- Continue to focus on fuelling and recovery including getting another massage to flush out my legs
- Test out my shoulder (3 months post broken collar bone/surgery) with some hard swim sessions and race simulations
- Trial insulin rates for every morning session to get something set for February race day, this will include swim/ride or run sessions which will be similar to racing
Last week of solid training before taper week for Ironman Geelong 70.3 (February 7th) so going to focus on my quality sessions and recovery to get the body cherry ripe for racing.

Spring Entertainment Options for Seniors in Southern California
By Kyle Hill •Apr 30th, 2014 Blog / Entertainment
Seniors rejoice: Spring is here! While winter in Southern California isn't the harsh season it is in other parts of the country, it's still a time when people are indoors more. Now that the days are getting longer, it's an excellent time for seniors and their friends and family to start taking advantage of some of the entertainment options awaiting them.
Get thee to a garden!
First and foremost, spring is all about gardening. Those seniors who garden themselves are all about getting those seeds and bulbs into the ground and cultivating the beautiful plants that will make their gardens the envy of the neighborhood. For those who would like to garden in a more social manner, community gardens, such as Las Flores in Conejo Valley, are an option to consider. With a community garden, a person can indulge his or her passion for gardening while having a greater chance to interact with others who share this interest.
But spring is also a great time for those who simply appreciate viewing beautiful plants. Among the many southern California gardens available for viewing are the Conejo Valley Botanic Garden , Gardens of the World in Thousand Oaks, and the Los Angeles Arboretum and Botanic Garden. These provide wonderful opportunities for seniors to enjoy outdoor time in gorgeous settings filled with a wide array of delightful flowers and plants.
To market, to market…
Spring is also the time to drop in on local farmers' markets to see what kind of straight-to-the-plate produce can be added to meals. It may be difficult to make up one's mind when everything looks (and smells) so delicious – but that's a lovely dilemma to find oneself in. Farmers' markets are everywhere, from Los Angeles itself to Burbank to Santa Monica. Check local listings to find one nearby.
Take a hike
Most seniors may not be up for a heavy duty hike through the woods, but taking a short hike in a nature-filled setting can make for a lovely day. A picnic basket, a blanket and a companion or two will turn a little hike into a satisfying social occasion.
El Dorado Park in Long Beach sports a great trail for an easy hike. Among its attractions: a lovely lake, a nifty footbridge and a wild mulberry field. It's a little under 2 miles, but less hardy adventurers can determine how far they wish to go.
Be a tourist
Even if a person has lived in an area for a long time, there often are sights or facts about his or her area of residence that can provide surprises. Seniors can take a local tour and see just how much they really know about their locality.
Long Beach offers both harbor and train tours) and Los Angeles has a variety of tours. And, of course, there are countless tours of celebrity homes, Hollywood landmarks, etc.
There are countless other options to consider, from taking in a concert to visiting a museum to getting involved with a sports or dance program to taking a day trip with other seniors to nearby attractions.
Determining the best spring entertainment options and planning appropriately can sometimes require a bit of assistance; HomeHero's dedicated and knowledgeable staff can help out here. Their guidance can be invaluable in ensuring that an outing is planned that is engaging but not over-challenging and that plans take into account medication schedules and other factors.
Spring only comes once a year; seniors should make sure they get the most out of it!

New Age MovementQUESTION: What is the new age movement?
The New Age Movement might correctly be termed a mindset which has gained "new" recognition and allegiance in recent decades. Its tenets however are hardly new. King Solomon once wisely observed in Ecclesiastes 1:9-10, "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, 'Look! This is something new'?"
The New Age movement certainly has its origins in ancient religions, cults, and philosophies. In fact, it may well be said that it began when Adam and Eve took their first bite of the forbidden fruit. This was the beginning of man's revolt against God and his exaltation of himself which continues unto this day in various manifestations.
The New Age movement has man, in all of his self-proclaimed glory, at its center. Much of the modern pursuits of the new age movement were derived from experiences gained through mind and consciousness altering drugs, very popular during the '60's and '70's. Individuals "saw things" and "experienced things" that started them on quests for life's answers. They believe that man is invested and divested with untapped powers and wisdom that can be realized if diligently and purposefully sought after. The infamous atheistic propaganda, "God is dead" grew out of these awakenings; and, since God was now dead, mankind has to search elsewhere for answers and hope.
Where better to search than one's self? Drugs were not the only devices used; philosophy, education, and various forms of religion were also employed by seekers to find the higher planes that they knew existed. Some of these religions became the modern day cults which tickled the fancies and satisfied the longing for mystical and spiritual experiences and self enlightenment. These pursuits have ancient origins in such systems as Gnosticism, alchemy, mesmerism, freemasonry, mysticism, theosophy and spiritualism.
The doctrines of Christianity were substituted and redefined. Instead of a true concept of sin as in 1 John 5:17: "All wrongdoing is sin...", the idea became to do "whatever feels good as long as you don't hurt anyone else."
Instead of understanding the true nature of God as a loving Father, the concept is love is God, making all forms of expression acceptable, dignifying practices that may be abominable.
The influences of this new age mindset, now highly prevalent in the 21st century, are reflected in the arts, education, psychology, politics and, of course, religion.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? - We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
What is your response?
Yes, today I am deciding to follow Jesus
Yes, I am already a follower of Jesus
I still have questions
What is your response?
Yes, today I am deciding to follow Jesus
Yes, I am already a follower of Jesus

Thanks to everyone that acknowledged my milestone today. Your shout outs are appreciated and very motivating. This blog is to share with the newbies about how I got here. If I can do...so can you.
It started with a commitment since willpower never worked for me.
I took one day at a time but most days I took one hour at a time.
I stayed busy - I found I had more time on my hands so I cleaned things I had been neglecting.
I stopped all adult beverages and coffee.....major trigger for me.
For the first few months I avoided social situations where people smoked.
I didn't worry about weight gain. Although I tried to eat healthy I didn't beat myself up if I binged on chocolate and chips.
I brushed my teeth 3 times a day.
I kept an emergency kit of cinnamon candy and coffee stir sticks for that hand/mouth habit I had.
I lived on this site. Some time to blog but most times just to read other blogs. I found strength and encouragement here.
I hope my list help someone make it to their next milestone.....Just stay totally committed to live a smoke free life. Our life depends on it.
The journey continues.

"The Life and Times of Barry Allen" is a short EP chronicling my life during the past few months. I ripped and sampled all the music from The Flash TV show—along with the dialogue comprising the interludes and skits. Then I created some Flash-themed cover art. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I've admittedly been taking a lot of meds, so who knows?
Ultimately this project is an exercise in self care. If you're not familiar with my life, or Barry Allen's, you can still bop your head to the music.
I've made arrangements to donate any and all proceeds from #LATOBA to Black women artists in the Capital District. But, like all of my music, you can also stream it for free.
Special thanks to Mike Arson on percussion and JB!! for mastering.

Antonio is a 5 month old male Cross-Breed. Handsome little tan and white young lad with a silky short coat, he is getting to know us all well now and is happy in his foster home having lived "rough" for the first 4 months of his little life. Angelo weighs 6.5 kilos (Mum weighed 10kg) and he stands at – 32cm (will grow a little more). He's chilled and loves playing with the other little mates. Poor puppies were born to a stray on a local part finished housing estate in Spain they were fed by the residents who contacted the local rescue PAWS for help. There were 5 puppies in total rescued, plus mother also – now she is spayed and rehomed. We can test with cats if required.
Fosterer's report: Of the 5 pups, Antonio is the smaller male. Antonio turned into a very social playful happy little man. Good with both people and the pack and he's the bravest of the three. Would make a great family pet. They all seem to have mums lovely easy going nature. At first, like his brothers and sisters not used to human contact as they lived in a olive grove until they were 4 months old. But we're working on it and they are very happy though to see me when I'm entering their kennel and get excited when they see me approaching.
All the pups are good with other animals, no experience with cats, although they would have mixed with the street cats whilst on the urbanisation. Happy healthy puppies that we are working on lead training and house training at the moment. No food guarding observed. Current location is in a foster home in Spain can travel to the UK once he has a home to go to. Vaccinated, wormed, flea treated, Too young to be neutered but this must be done when they are old enough, microchipped, Pet Passport, FREE 4 weeks Pet Insurance, Any known health issues NONE KNOWN.
For Dogs coming from Spain and Portugal: This adoption fee is a contribution towards the costs of rescuing the dog- microchip, passport, vaccines, tests for S European diseases, neutering, parasite treatment and transport to the UK.
We can not home dogs from Spain or Portugal to people who work, even part time. They need someone at home all day, they are not used to being alone, so even a couple of hours broken with a dog walker will be too much for them to cope with. They are highly likely to develop separation anxiety which is distressing for them and everyone in their new home.
Adoption Fee : £ 265 – to be paid direct to the Spanish/Portuguese rescue to cover travel costs via UK bank account

Dortmund starting to flex muscles
Munich - Borussia Dortmund may not be in the ideal position to defend their Bundesliga title at present, but there are ominous signs the Yellow-Black beast, which lay semi-dormant for much of the first half of the season, is now beginning to flex its muscles.
Minor snag
Jürgen Klopp's troops are currently twelve points behind leaders FC Bayern Munich after drawing six and losing three matches prior to the winter break. However, in their two outings this year, BVB have picked up maximum points and scored eight goals without reply.
It was a similar story last season, with Dortmund trailing Bayern going into the latter half of the campaign, only to win 15 and draw two of their league matches and storm to the title with a record-breaking 81 points. "It's down to experience," said midfielder after a largely second-string BVB side lost a friendly against Bundesliga 2 outfit 1. FC Köln 1-0 on Monday evening. "The longer you play football the easier it is to reach the next step."
Indeed, Klopp was upbeat despite the defeat. "I saw a lot of good things and a couple of not so good things," said the 45-year-old. "I wanted stability and we had that, apart from one moment [which led to Köln's goal]. It was a typical game: the opposition sat back and we had to be creative." Blaszczykowski missed Dortmund's best opportunity of the match, dragging an 83rd-minute penalty wide.
Match practice
Klopp was keen to emphasise that "it was important for one or two players to get match practice so that we're prepared for our busy schedule". Recently-returned local hero Nuri Sahin was the chief beneficiary, playing the full 90 minutes and hitting the post early in the first half. First-team regulars , , and Ilkay Gündogan all had a 30-minute run-out, with Blaszczykowski playing all but 25 minutes.
While the 58-time Poand international admitted the friendly "was a poor game", he firmly believes both he and BVB are on the right track. "It's just like what happened last year. We're gradually finding our rhythm again and it's thanks to our preparations," said the 27-year-old, who has scored eight and provided five assists this term. "But it's not just me who's in good form, the whole team is."
Leverkusen beware
That is a clear warning for Sunday's opponents Bayer 04 Leverkusen, who sit one place and one point above Dortmund in the standings. "They're a tough team," added Blaszczykowski, "but we know we have quality and potential. It's great that we have so many good players."
Earlier this term Leverkusen were ruthlessly dispatched 3-0 from the Signal Iduna Park and even more worrying for and Co. is that their visitors have been stronger on the road than at home this term, earning 19 of their 36 points on their travels. If Dortmund can win a third successive league game this year and continue to build up a head of steam, they are more than capable of providing Bayern with a fight right down to the wire.

Filmstrip Book Reports
Submitted by: Dawn firstname.lastname@example.com
One idea for writing book reports is to have the children make filmstrips. I give them overhead transparencies and markers. They are to make a filmstrip of their book.
I usually have them have 7 frames. Frame 1 is the title and author (illustrated of course). Frame 2 will have the main characters. 3 has the setting. Frame 4 has the beginning, 5 middle, and 6 ending. Frame 7 will have a picture that states their opinion. They then present them on the overhead to the class. I usually ask them questions regarding conflict, etc. to make sure they read the book!
The kids love it because it does away with the traditional writing of a report. It is important to stress that artwork does not determine a grade. This way the poor artists still love to do this. Make sure that you show them how to make the frames. I make one on regular paper for them to use to copy onto their transparencies. I find if you don't the kids tend to bring in 7 singular frames instead of one long filmstrip. (Cut the transparency in half and tape together to make one long one) Have fun!

crossing the line
"Crossing The Line" is about crossing the very real line that separates the worlds of public and private security and risk management. It is a guide for key players who are thinking of switching sectors and roles and moving from one kind of organisation and operating culture to another often significantly different one.

Once the US emerges from its current financial circumstances, and strives once more for economic prosperity, the hope remains that its government can carry with them the lessons learned from their experiences. As negotiations continue to stall and fail reach a budget resolution for 2012, the law makers and politicians of the country must resolve to never let such a state of affairs develop again, and create an expenditure plan that is both considered and reflects the best interests of society.
Interestingly, there are certain factors of government who are looking to do this at present, by attempting to reduce the funding for prison and correctional facilities and reinvesting this capital into the nations education. As California governor Jerry Brown this week signed a bill to transfer thousands of non violent felons from state prisons to more relaxed county jails, so too a significant step was made to close certain correctional facilities and redirect government funding into educational programs and schools.
A Time for Change
The spending statistics are damning indeed. In the 2 decades between 1990 and 2010, the US prison population has soared by over 1 million individuals, and prompted even more funding to be invested in building and expanding correctional facilities to handle the increasing capacity. Within this period, state spending on prisons climbed by nearly 130 percent, which is an astonishing and troubling six times higher than the total rate of expenditure committed to education.

Delivering on a central campaign promise, President Donald Trump on Friday signed into law a sweeping Republican package of tax cuts for individuals and businesses, putting the exclamation point on a tumultuous first year in office, which saw him wait until just before Christmas for his most significant legislative accomplishment.
"The bottom line is that this is the biggest tax cuts and reforms in the history of our country," the President said to reporters gathered in the Oval Office.
Instead of a big signing ceremony with members of Congress beside him, the President opted to have a few top aides on hand, as he told reporters confidently that the new tax law would spur more economic growth and create new jobs.
"We're very proud of it. It's going to be a tremendous thing for the American people, it's going to be fantastic for the economy," Mr. Trump added.

Mr. Trump expressed confidence that polls would turn around on the tax bill matter, even as Republicans plan a big public relations push in 2018 to reinforce the income tax rate cuts for individuals.
"I think it's selling itself," the President added.
It was a much different scene back in October of 1986, when President Ronald Reagan signed into law the last big package of tax cuts and reforms, as he was surrounded by key Republicans and Democrats.

That law received 290 votes in the House and 73 in the Senate – this time, not one Democrat voted for the GOP plan.
"One thing you can say about this year, it was pretty partisan," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said at a news conference at the Capitol, just moments before the President signed the new tax law.
The signing ceremony came after a series of morning tweets in which the President jabbed at the news media, complaining that his accomplishments will be ignored in the press.
"Sadly, the Fake Mainstream Media will NEVER talk about our accomplishments in their end of year reviews," the President tweeted.
Our big and very popular Tax Cut and Reform Bill has taken on an unexpected new source of "love" – that is big companies and corporations showering their workers with bonuses. This is a phenomenon that nobody even thought of, and now it is the rage. Merry Christmas!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 22, 2017
"The President has accomplished some absolutely historic things during this past year." Thank you Charlie Kirk of Turning Points USA. Sadly, the Fake Mainstream Media will NEVER talk about our accomplishments in their end of year reviews. We are compiling a long & beautiful list.

95% of Americans will pay less or, at worst, the same amount of taxes (mostly far less). The Dems only want to raise your taxes!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 22, 2017
The Massive Tax Cuts, which the Fake News Media is desperate to write badly about so as to please their Democrat bosses, will soon be kicking in and will speak for themselves. Companies are already making big payments to workers. Dems want to raise taxes, hate these big Cuts!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 21, 2017
In Congress, GOP lawmakers were confident that the new tax law would benefit Republicans, who are facing polls that show Democrats with a large advantage heading into the 2018 midterm election year.
"The tax reform bill as a whole is going to bring consumer confidence up," said Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), as Republicans predicted more economic gains in 2018.
"Come February, when people are seeing more money in their bank account, I think they're going to see that less government is the right idea, not more," Loudermilk added, as GOP lawmakers echoed the President's focus on the tax bill.
"It's a huge issue, something that hasn't been done in thirty one years," said Rep. Dan Webster (R-FL).
"That is something to work on, ride on, and run on," Webster added.
As for what the Trump Administration and Congress might focus on in 2018, the President again hinted at a push on money for new roads and bridges.
At some point, and for the good of the country, I predict we will start working with the Democrats in a Bipartisan fashion. Infrastructure would be a perfect place to start. After having foolishly spent $7 trillion in the Middle East, it is time to start rebuilding our country!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 22, 2017
Mr. Trump can ponder his next move from the warmth of Florida, as he left soon after signing the tax bill for his Mar-a-Lago retreat in Palm Beach.
The Congress returns to session on January 3. It was not immediately clear when the President would return to the nation's capital.
Some of the highlights of the GOP plan include:
+ Seven individual tax brackets of 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%.
The current individual brackets are 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, 35% and 39.6%.
+ Standard deduction almost doubled $6,350/$12,700 to $12,000/$24,000
+ State and local taxes change will only allow you to deduct up to $10,000 for sales, income and property taxes – this is a big change for those who itemize.
+ Mortgage interest deduction limit lowered to $750,000 from $1 million. No change for current mortgages (they are grandfathered in).
+ Zeroes out the individual mandate tax penalty in 2019 under the Obama health law – note the date – not in 2018. Still in effect next year.
+ Does not change tax exemption on reduced tuition awards for graduate students, and employer tuition aid at colleges and universities.
+ Alternative Minimum Tax lives on for individuals, but the exemption limit is increased.
+ Federal estate tax is not abolished, but the plan doubles the amount of the inheritance exemption.
+ Corporate tax rate lowered to 21% – original plan was 20%.
+ Almost all business tax changes are permanent in the GOP bill.
+ Almost all individual tax changes in the bill expire after 2025 (8 years).
If you want to read more about the details of the bill, this is the 570 page explanation that has been put out by Republicans in the Congress.

Ingredients for 4 servings:
Trim ends off zucchini and grate it on the large holes of a box
grater. You can also use the food processor with the shredding blade, if
you have one.
Wring out zucchini by pressing it against the holes of a colander
with a spoon, in order to extract the water. Another great method is to
wrap it up in a piece of cheese cloth and squeeze.
Add zucchini and all other ingredients in a bowl. Blend well together.
1 tbsp of zucchini mix = 1 zucchini fritter
There are three ways to cook these fritters. Avoid deep frying! Very unhealthy!
1. Heat oil in a skillet. Flip them on order to fry on both sides. Fry over low heat.
2. Spray oil on skillet. This way you'll use less oil.
3. Bake them! Cover an oven tray with some parchment paper and place fritters. Bake for 20-30 minutes.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and sliced apricots on top.
