A big thanks to my Beta!
Author's note: English is not my first language, so please forgive my mistakes.
WARNINGS: It's come to my attention lately, since I have grown up, that is story has lots of problems. The main one being sexual assault shown in a romantised way and portrayed as ok, underestimated and even kinda enjoyed by the victim. THIS IS NOT OK. I do not for one second believe it's ok and should happen to anyone.
If you are to read this story keep in mind that it's twisted and really not ok (and that issue is just one in a number of others in this story) and if that can trigger you, please do not read.
A Subtle Seducing
"Hey dude, why didn't we take that train?" grumbled Kiba.
He was leaning on the dirty wall, hands firmly stuck in his pockets while he looked at the leaving train. Naruto was his long time friend; they had met in elementary school and had been inseparable since then. They had always stuck by each other through thick and thin. When Kiba had been kicked out of his house for adopting a stray dog, Akamaru, Naruto had frozen his ass off with him during the whole week it took for his mother to surrender. When Naruto had ended up in jail for painting "I love Sakura" on the front wall of City Hall, Kiba had been there too, cursing and trying to beat the shit out of Naruto, but still there.
The problem was that Naruto had a knack for eccentricity. For crying out loud, he dressed in orange! And worst of all, it suited him! He tended to be a little extreme in everything, especially when it came to love. After the jail incident, Sakura hadn't talked to him for days, claiming it was too embarrassing to have such a moron be attracted to her. Kiba had scoffed at the word "attract." It was an obsession.
Kiba had never believed that a day would come when he would miss the time when Naruto had been madly in love with Sakura. Really. He still remembered blowing up the school's detention record because of exaggerated declarations of undying love. He remembered buying earplugs to block out Naruto's constant babbling about Sakura. He had been through hell ever since the blond had fallen for the pink haired girl and yet… he freaking missed those times.
Oh how he had been happy when at the end of high school Naruto had gotten over his crush. Not to mention the look on Sakura's face had been priceless. After a month of Naruto not attempting to prove his love to her, Sakura had realized that she missed the attention. She had come to Naruto with a 'I pity you' look before saying sweetly, "Naruto, since you've made so many efforts, I decided to give you a chance."
Kiba had almost died laughing at the answer she received.
"Huh? Sorry, Sakura I've been waiting for you for so long that I've turned gay."
He had thought of it as a blessing, that all the pain was behind him, and that they would turn over a new page to begin anew in college. But his wish hadn't been granted. He should have known Naruto turning gay wasn't going to make him become a little less obvious. Instead of talking about Sakura all the time he babbled very loudly about guys, ogling them and making jokes about being gay. An utter nightmare. Kiba had to endure a perverted Naruto (which hadn't been the case when he was under the Sakura drug, since he was faithful to her) and undergo people's judgment because of course if he hung out with a gay man he had to be one too. And the icing on the cake, Naruto had developed a strange habit of slapping guys' asses on the train. He had stopped counting all the punches he had received by mistake. At least Sakura would only hit Naruto!
Lately Kiba had had a break; Naruto had suddenly stopped being such an exhibitionist. It could only mean that he had found a new obsession. A guy had caught his eye but his name remained a mystery because otherwise Kiba would have been hearing it every second of the day. Thus the reason why they were in the subway. Naruto wanted to show him his new crush hoping Kiba might know something about the guy.
"Look! Look! It's him I told you he would be there!" whispered his blond friend, tugging on his best friend's sleeve like a five-year-old in front of a candy store.
Kiba was then unceremoniously thrown inside the train, almost falling on a lady who smacked him on the head with her bag. Naruto grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the end of the car.
"Stop being so obvious," mumbled the blond, making sure they hadn't been found out by his crush.
Kiba wondered how many years he would receive for strangling Naruto. Would the judge grant him temporary insanity? He was thinking that he would need a lawyer when Naruto grabbed his chin and turned his head. Then he understood. The blond sure had taste. Even if he wasn't gay, maybe bi but not gay, he had to admit that the man was really hot.
He was standing near the door, his shoulder leaning against the wall adjoining the first row of seats. He was tall and slender, his white shirt clinging to his skin outlining the frail yet muscular body. It was untucked, resting on dark pants that hugged tightly a firm round ass and tapering but undoubtedly masculine legs. His shoulders weren't broad and led towards a long neck, adorned by a discreet Adam's apple. A curtain of black hair, smooth as silk hid his face and was spiked on the back with some gel. Slim and pale fingers held a book, showing a creamy skin that looked soft and inviting. Reflected on the door's window was a face that could make someone's breath catch in their throat. Thin smirking lips, aristocratic nose, high cheekbones, long eyelashes and nicely shaped eyebrows that only made the endless pools of black that were the man's eyes stand out. He was a delicate mix of femininity and masculinity; he looked like he had come out straight from a ladies' manga.
With grace he moved away from the crowd's way easily, never brushing anyone, his nose still buried in his book. He was intellectual too. He was reading Madness and Civilization; A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason by the French philosopher Michel Foucault and if the state of the book was any indication, it wasn't for the first time.
"Naruto, you don't stand a chance. He's a fucking doll," whispered Kiba, Sakura was an ugly girl compared to him and Naruto had been rejected even before opening his mouth (which always discouraged anyone who approached him).
"Tsk, tsk, he can't resist me. I'm built like a Greek god!" said Naruto, teasingly licking Kiba's ear before adding seductively, "and I'm a god in bed too."
Kiba punched him and took some steps back for good measure.
"Yeah but he won't know that before rejecting you," he snorted, "and you don't even know if he's gay."
Naruto replied with a foxy grin that boded nothing good when a disembodied voice announced their stop. The raven clapped his book close, grabbed his bag and followed the flow of people outside. Kiba nearly strangled himself as Naruto smacked the man's ass in passing, but couldn't keep muffled snickers as the abused one muttered something about annoying women.
"He mistook you for a girl, Naruto-chan," teased Kiba, easily avoiding a punch.
The subject of their conversation disappeared into the A building. It seemed that they were attending the same college. Kiba hadn't seen him before and he doubted he would have forgotten such a guy. He had to be in a different section from theirs.
"Well at least we go to the same college, that will make bumping into him easier," remarked Kiba, knowing Naruto would make sure to have plenty of accidental meetings.
Speaking of which, it was strange that Naruto had calmed down around a month ago but hadn't made a move on the guy yet. Disturbing. It wasn't as if no one would be interested in the guy either, even if he looked cold and scathing (with a smirk like that he had to) and that had never stopped Naruto. After all he had run after the scary Sakura.
"Nope, everyone I asked about him, knows him, especially the girls, but his identity is still a mystery. I don't even know what his major is!" whined Naruto.
The blond had hoped his best friend would have a clue. After all, they weren't glued together. Some of their classes were different… but it seemed that he had never seen him before. Damn. After one month of investigation he had so little information! He just knew he was in college, took the 8 o'clock train every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, he read the three free newspapers every morning, he had black coffee and certainly a croissant in the morning if he trusted his sense of smell. He used vanilla shampoo, Dove soap (certainly one for delicate skin), and had a musky and woody scent. He was always spotless and wore simple but refined clothes. He never sat on the train. He disliked using his dark and fancy cell phone in public places and always wore a scowl when it rang to The Kill's 30 Seconds to Mars and especially when it was his brother calling (Sympathy for the Devil by Gun's and Roses was the telltale ringtone). He cut his nails every week so they were always the same length. He was obsessed with time, always looking at his watch. Oh and he was gay. Sai, the Gay Censor, had confirmed it just before Naruto smashed him against a seat for trying to make a move on his prey.
That was all he knew about the guy. He had tried following him inside the school, but he always disappeared mysteriously. He had played dumb once, knocking on all the doors pretending to be looking for his class, scanning the rows of students… but he hadn't seen him! And the times when he had gone to one of the lecture halls or the auditorium Naruto hadn't bothered looking, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. But Uzumaki Naruto never surrendered! He would find out who he was! He already had a clue to where he lived… it was how they had first met.
The teacher had kept them. As if it wasn't enough that the damn class ended at 8 pm! It was 8:30 by the time he got to the subway. The train was going so slow he wanted to scream. Fortunately it wasn't too crowded but a stupid kid had turned the volume of his earphones so high that it felt like he was the one who had them screwed to his ears! Normally he didn't mind that much, but he was in a foul mood… and that's when it happened.
The train suddenly stopped midway. Naruto blinked.
"DONG DONG DONG your attention please DONG DONG DONG due to technical problems the traffic on line number 4 will be interrupted for 5 minutes, please excuse the delay."
WHAT? Were they fucking kidding? It couldn't be happening just now! Why? Why did the breakdown had to happen now of all times? God hated him. 5 minutes huh? As if… more like 15, if he was lucky and it seemed that today his lucky star had gone on vacation. Confirming this fact, his stomach gave a loud growl, reminding Naruto that he was starving.
They were on one of the elevated tracks and he could see the sun setting behind the buildings. He didn't give a damn right now; a cup of ramen was all he could think about. The people around him had stopped grumbling and were resigned to their fate, finding something to pass the time. He had nothing to do and there was no way in hell he was opening one of his damn school books. No way.
He gazed off in the distance. It was funny to imagine what kind of people lived in the buildings according to what he could see. An old flowery curtain with lace, he figured a grandmother lived there. A balcony full of flowers, probably a middle-age woman. Only a woman could really care for plants and only a middle-age one would have the patience to water them everyday. Superhero stickers, a young boy. Pink curtains glowing with twinkling lights, a teenage girl. The next one was strange. White curtains opened and the lights on giving him a prime view of the Spartan room: an extremely ordered desk, a bookcase, a futon, a chair,a dresser and nothing else. Everything looked so clean that it had to have been washed that morning. A woman? No, she would have put some flowers or decorations. A man? This organized? He had to be old then. Yeah, a business man.
Satisfied with his guess Naruto was about to go on to the next window when a door opened and steam filled the room. So the inhabitant had been taking a shower. He could confirm his guess then! But instead of an old geezer what met his eyes was the most beautiful guy he had ever met. Naked save for a blue towel around his slim waist, water trailing down defined and discreet muscles. Naruto wished he could lick it, taste the creamy skin, feel the firm stomach shudder under his tongue.
His unsuspecting entertainer turned and pulled out a little mirror hung on a nail on the wall. The one in the bathroom had to be too fogged up to be used. He looked as nimble hands spiked up the black hair like a hedgehog's back. Naruto purred. Yeah, whoever rubbed one got stung (1), but if you knew how to tame it, it turned soft as silk. What a nice challenge.
His pants suddenly got a little too tight as the towel slid to the floor, revealing a perfect behind. It looked so tight; it had to be heaven… would the raven moan if Naruto buried himself deep inside him? He moved, damn he could see how firm this ass was, to get some clothes from the dresser. Would he have a deep voice when Naruto threw him on his bed and fuck him into the mattress? Would he arch up? Would he… Naruto's train of thought was cut short as the raven began to turn toward the window.
"Oh yeah baby, turn over," murmured the blond, eyes glued to the scene, breath caught in his throat.
His pants were hurting him, too tight. He could already see a stain forming on the front, just spying turned him on so much he wondered what it would be like to actually feel the guy. And when the dark-haired beauty was going to reveal his precious parts to Naruto, the train gave a strong jerk and zoomed away.
Naruto gave a loud screech of frustration, grinning sheepishly with his hands cupped in front of him to hide his obvious erection, when people stared at him funny. The driver just had to be right. It had truly only taken 5 minutes. For once he wouldn't have minded a 15 minute interruption. He was starving and frustrated now. He hadn't even thought of looking at his surroundings to remember where the apartment was. It really wasn't his day.
Two days later when he saw the breathtaking figure, the one who gave him sweet wet dreams, on the train he knew his lucky star was back.
Naruto smashed his alarm clock and buried himself back under the covers. A second ringing made him groan. He rummaged around his nightstand to find his cell phone but suddenly remembered that he had put it on the floor, far enough from him so that he had to crawl out of bed to turn it off. Stretching as far as he could without leaving the bed and using a book, he managed to shut the annoying thing. He had just nestled back in his covers when his kitchen timer began to ring. This time he had no choice but to get up.
Dragging his feet he reached his kitchen, stopping the ringing and putting some water to boil for a morning cup of Ramen. Distractedly scratching his crotch, he tried to clear his mind a little. He didn't have a test this morning, so why had he set up the "make sure to get up on time" system? What was so important to… a naked form shimmering with water made his family jewels twitch. Oh yeah! He had to hurry to catch the mystery man's train.
Naruto dashed to the shower, using his best soap. Today he was starting his awesome plan: subtle seducing. He had nicknamed the guy "Bastard" because from what Naruto had seen so far he was one cool bastard. The bastard had to be used to being wooed, so he must know every way of wooing, just like Sakura. Thus Naruto had to find an unusual way of doing it. Unlike Sakura, who liked attention, he was sure the dark man would dislike it. Besides he didn't even know his name so he couldn't paint the train with declarations of love… too bad. He had had to find a more subtle way… he had chosen one that wouldn't fail.
As predicted the bastard was in the same car, on the same spot as every time he took the subway. It was perfect. Naruto made sure he had his cap on backwards. He had hidden his orange T-shirt under a brown jacket. That way he just had to take off the hat and the jacket to be unrecognizable, funnily his normal clothes that always stood out would grant him immunity. It wouldn't do if the bastard found out who he was before the time had come.
They had 9 stations before their stop. At the 4th one lots of people boarded the train and it was almost unbearably crowded. The bastard hated that and huddled safely in his corner, glaring at whoever bumped into him, and scowling when he had no choice but to undergo human contact. It was time to act.
As students pushed their way into the car, Naruto slid behind the dark haired bastard, his left arm grabbing the bar. That way he prevented anyone from bumping into his hedgehog, to his left Naruto's arm, behind him Naruto's body, and to the right the row of seats. Was he playing prince charming protecting the princess? Not at all. This way he had the bastard trapped, huddled in a corner, his back to him, his face to the bar and the small wall so he couldn't see Naruto's face reflected on the window.
Gently, in a soft caress, Naruto cupped one of the man's butt cheeks in his right hand, his thumb brushing the hipbone. He heard the barely audible gasp that followed. Yep, his marvellous solution was: molestation.
-To be continued-
(1) It's a literal translation of a French saying: "qui s'y frotte s'y pique" that means "if you go looking for trouble, you'll find it", but I chose to translate it this way because the saying always made me think of a hedgehog.
Ok guys this is the first chapter. I hoped you liked it. I shouldn't be writing since I have tons of homework to do… but this plot bunny was chewing on my mind so…
Reviews are greatly appreciated and tend to motivated me to write more so please leave me one! Thanks

Royal Road Minerals to acquire over 2000 square kilometers of appraised and prioritized mineral exploration titles and title applications containing drill-ready targets
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 5, 2019) - Royal Road Minerals Limited (TSXV: RYR) ("Royal Road" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it (the "Purchaser") has entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Compañía Kedahda Limited (the "Seller"), an affiliate of AngloGold Ashanti Limited ("AngloGold Ashanti"), to acquire Northern Colombia Holdings Limited ("NC Holdings"). NC Holdings in turn owns Exploraciones Northern Colombia SAS ("ENC") which owns a title package (collectively, the "Titles") comprised of mining concession agreements covering approximately 36,000 hectares of land, and the rights with respect to applications that have been made to acquire mining concessions over approximately 215,000 hectares of land, in prospective mineral belts in the Nariño, Cauca and Antioquia departments of Colombia (the "Transaction").
Highlights of the Transaction
- High quality, Appraised and Prioritized Title Package. AngloGold Ashanti has elected to focus on its three advanced projects in Colombia and in Q2 of 2018, commenced a sales process for its exploration title packages outside of these three principal projects including the Titles as held under NC Holdings and ENC. These title packages are the result of systematic exploration, appraisal, prioritization and the purposeful reduction of land holdings by AngloGold Ashanti over the years since inception of its activities in Colombia in 2004.
- Increased Future Optionality. The Transaction will significantly increase the Company's portfolio of potentially Tier 1 exploration assets and provides the Company with various options for joint-venture and cash generating transactions in Colombia.
- Advanced Exploration Potential. The Transaction provides the Company with access to drill-ready potentially Tier 1 projects on granted concession agreements within its present area of interest and elsewhere in prospective mineral belts throughout Colombia.

The Properties
The Titles are grouped into two blocks, the Southern Block, which is located contiguous with Royal Road's existing 3500 square kilometers of exploration rights in Nariño Province and the Northern Block, which covers the well-known Middle Cauca Belt, a region hosting over 50 million ounces of recently discovered gold resources (see Figure 1). There are 16 currently identified individual gold project areas located within the title package and numerous underexplored areas which management believes host significant geologic potential. Royal Road's initial focus will be on granted titles containing targets that can be moved to the drilling-stage as soon as possible. Some of these targets are as follows:
- The La Llanada project area in Nariño Province, characterized by very high stream sediment sample results and comprising several currently known high-grade vein-gold systems, (see Figure 2) and surrounding the La Redención mining license, over which the Company has an option agreement and is permitted to drill (see press release dated April 4, 2016).
Figure 2
To view an enhanced version of Figure 2, please visit:
- The El Tambo intrusion-related gold project in Cauca Province, where AngloGold Ashanti reported an area of steep-moderate dipping quartz-veins, up to 3 meters wide, over 3 kilometers in strike length and 600 meters in total zone-width and with rock chip results returning up to 77 grams per tonne gold (based on a reported 182 combined panel and grab rock-chip samples ranging from below detection limit and with a mean of 2.2 grams per tonne gold; (Figure 3).
- The Güinter sheeted quartz-calcite-sulfide vein project area in Antioquia. The vein system has been mapped over 6 square kilometers, AngloGold Ashanti drilled 10 scout diamond drill holes for a total of 5662 meters at the project and reported best intersections of 56 meters at 1.1, 14 meters at 1.8 and 20 meters at 1.8 grams per tonne gold (not true thickness). Based on geological observations management believe there is volume potential in mineralized stratabound horizons and potential for higher-grade mineralization where veins link and interact similar in style to the nearby Buriticá and Anzá projects (Figure 3).
Figure 3
To view an enhanced version of Figure 3, please visit:
The title package contains numerous porphyry-style occurrences and two well-known porphyry copper and gold projects that whilst not drill-ready, will be the short-term focus for Royal Road's social and permitting teams.
- The El Molino porphyry gold project (Figure 4) is an outcropping gold porphyry system located in Cauca Province. Both the potassic core and quartz-sericite halo of the system are exposed on surface. AngloGold Ashanti previously reported sheeted gold veinlets returning rock-chip samples of up to 184 grams per tonne gold (based on a reported 493 combined grab and panel samples ranging from below detection limit with a mean of 2.5 grams per tonne gold; Figure 3).
- The Caramanta region in Antioquia, where AngloGold Ashanti reported three copper and gold bearing porphyry bodies and rock-chip results of up to 47 grams per tonne gold and 3.3% copper (based on 255 combined grab and panel samples ranging from below detection limit with a mean of 0.65 grams per tonne gold and 0.07% copper).

After several days of drama, Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (22.7 percent), Oglethorpe Power Corp (30 percent), Dalton Utilities (1.6 percent) and Southern's Georgia Power unit (45.7 percent) signed an agreement to move forward with the project. That vote was made necessary after Southern announced in August a $2.3 billion increase in estimated project costs.
Oglethorpe had initially voted yes only on the condition that Georgia Power as project manager absorb any further cost increases. When Southern flatly refused, negotiations went into a mad scramble, with deadlines for a deal postponed several times.
There's little doubt pressure from Georgia Governor Nathan Deal and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) played a role in keeping the partners at the table. Deal, who leaves office next year, took to Twitter to urge Oglethorpe "to reconsider its decision before walking away from 7,000 Georgia jobs."
Meanwhile, DOE stated that it was "prepared to move swiftly to enforce its rights under terms of the loan agreements," should the partners cancel the project. That's a very thinly veiled threat to quickly call in the nearly $5.6 billion it extended to the project on favorable terms, a move that would have had immediate and very negative consequences particularly for Oglethorpe.
The arm-twisting demonstrates support for Vogtle in state government as well as the Trump administration is still strong. That could conceivably change depending on the result of Georgia's November elections. But the partners should still have another year to prove they can keep this project reasonably on schedule and within the new cost estimates.
Specifics of the agreement are spelled out in the Form 8-K filed by Southern with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, Georgia Power has agreed to pay a slightly higher share (55.7 percent) of future cost overruns between $800 million and $1.6 billion.
Georgia Power will pay 65.7 percent of any overruns above $1.6 billion. And if cost estimates are raised by more than $2.1 billion, the other three partners will have a one-time option to basically put their ownership interests to Georgia Power in lieu of paying their share of costs.
Should that occur, Georgia Power would also have the right to unilaterally cancel the project. Conversely, this agreement entitles the company to 60.7 percent of any cost savings from current estimates, provided Unit 3 goes into service by November 2021 and Unit 4 starts up by November 2022 as now scheduled.
The agreement also excludes costs resulting from "force majeure" events, legal fees and actions taken by other Vogtle owners. And it eliminates the requirement to hold a new partners' vote on an increase in the construction cost estimate.
The most obvious takeaway from this agreement is Southern has taken on more of the risk of the project. Nothing in this deal poses an immediate threat to meeting management's current guidance of 4 to 6 percent annual earnings growth, with commensurate dividend increases. But it's likely many investors will view this as a net negative, which could at least temporarily deepen the stock's discount to other utilities.
Management clearly has abundant incentives to keep Vogtle on schedule and budget. And it's also worth pointing out that this summer China National Nuclear Power Company successfully started up a reactor using the same AP1000 technology, while loading fuel at another site for possible launch later this year.
Like Vogtle, these facilities also cost much more and took far longer to complete than expected. But their startup demonstrates that the technology works, if builders can see the projects through.
To date, Southern has recovered financing costs on close to $5 billion spent on Vogtle, after agreeing to eat its share of the overruns announced in August. That roughly $5 billion is what would have been at risk had management decided to cancel the project, and Georgia regulators followed South Carolina's lead to contest legislation that mandates cost recovery.
This absolute worst-case hit would not have been inconsiderable at 4.4 percent of its total assets. Southern, however, did absorb an even bigger hit from cancelling the Kemper coal gasification plant, and without so much as a downshift in guidance.
The new estimate of $8.4 billion is somewhat weightier at 7.5 percent of current assets. Southern, however, appears to have already covered its share of the additional cost with the pending sale of its Florida electric and gas assets to NextEra Energy (NEE), which follows the sale of New Jersey natural gas assets to South Jersey Industries (SJI).
It's obvious there's still a lot of heavy lifting to do at Vogtle. But with few on Wall Street expecting anything good to come out of this situation, the bar of expectations has been set awfully low.
Southern shares, for example, now trade at less than 13 times trailing 12 months earnings, compared to 17.4 times for the Dow Jones Utility Average. The stock also yields 2 percentage points more.
This is a compelling valuation for a company that's never cut its dividend. That includes the early 1980s, when Georgia Power was forced by regulators to eat more than $2 billion in cost overruns to complete the first two reactors at the Vogtle site.
I make a practice of never recommending doubling down in any one stock. But for those who don't yet own Southern, the stock remains a buy up to $50.
For disclosure purposes, I've owned this stock through its dividend reinvestment plan since the late 1990s. My return over that time is currently 740 percent, or 10.7 percent a year with a roughly 85 percent increase in dividends.

Let me start by saying I'm a nude sleeper. That's right, when I close the bedroom door at night it's all boobs and buns.
Frankly, I find sleeping in clothes suffocating and hot. I only wear clothes to bed for two occasions. First is when I have to crash at a friend's house and am comfortable enough to share a bed with them (more like too princessy to sleep on a mere, mortal couch) but not comfortable enough to completely disrobe, because, you know, that can send some mixed messages.
The other time is when the seasons change and I cannot figure out the right temperature for the house or the right blanket to use for a restful night. That is when the tanks and shorts slide on and my generally nude parts start to feel a little oppressed.
But this post isn't really about my sleeping habits, though. It's about despite how much I hate these seasonal changes for sleeping I love them for my closet. They allow me to play around and mix and match things that would be too cold for winter or too hot for summer.
Like this: think cute shorts, a chunky sweater to keep my perpetually cold female arms warm, and then cute heels to remind myself that there is footwear beyond the bootie, despite what winter has been telling me.
What is your style when the temps are still trying to figure themselves out?
Ps: this whole look is thrifted! Yes, I still got it when it comes to shopping at Goodwill. The shorts are high-waisted and from GAP. Judging by the texture and wash I'd say they are a few years old. Not quite from the 90s but they have that vibe.
The fabulous cable sweater is unfortunately tagless so I don't know the brand. All you need to know is that it's the warmest thing ever. The heels are from Banana Republic and while they're a deep maroon they kind of look like a nude on my skin tone. This belt is one I got way back in college.
Total cost: $12

N.C. missions recipient comes full circle
N.C. missions recipient comes full circle
July 30 2009 by Lonnie Wilkey, Baptist and Reflector
TOWNSEND, Tenn. — As a pre-teen Ashley Sims and her family would travel from Yadkinville, N.C., to vacation in the mountains in Tennessee.
The first year they came they camped at the Tremont Outdoor Resort here.
The family was hooked on the location and one of the reasons was a summer mission team from New Vision (now New Sevier Home) Baptist Church in Knoxville.
The team led a camp each day at the camp's pavilion and Ashley and her brother Bruce attended faithfully.
In fact, Bruce accepted Christ from seeds planted by the Knoxville team.
The Sims family returned two more times after that first trip and they made sure they came the same week as the New Vision mission team.
Now age 19, Ashley Sims has come full circle.
Whereas, she was once the beneficiary of young people giving a week to minister to her and other children at the camp, she is now serving as a summer missionary for Joe and Linda Ledford who coordinate CHARM (Chilhowee Area Ministries) for Chilhowee Baptist Association, based in Alcoa.
Sims has fond memories of her camping experience. "It was a new experience. We had never done anything like this," she recalled.
As a child Sims attended a church that did not offer Vacation Bible School. The day camp she attended in Townsend became her VBS, she recalled. She noted she still has many of the crafts she made.
Sims, now a student at Surry Community College in Dobson, N.C., has since become a member of Union Grove Baptist Church, Yadkinville, which is very missions minded, she said.
Last year her church sent a group which included the entire Sims family to serve at the Tremont campground. While there she met the Ledfords and talked with them about the possibility of her working with them this summer.
She noted that when she was camping with her family years ago she never dreamed that she would one day serve at the same place as a summer missionary. "God led me to do this."
Sims, who worked in the ministry in July, raised the money she needed to support herself through various fundraisers. In addition, her church was "very supportive," she said.
Having Sims as a summer missionary has already proven valuable, the Ledfords agreed.
There was one week when a team had to cancel at the last minute and it looked like there would be no day camp at the Tremont facility, Joe Ledford noted.
Ledford said that Garrett Baptist Church, Hohenwald, had planned to send a "vision team" this summer to see what the ministry entailed and to consider it for next year.
When the church canceled, Ledford asked the church's pastor, Art McCormack, if they would come staff the camp "if we would plan it." The church agreed, Ledford said.
He noted that the availability of Sims and a couple from South Carolina (Ricky and Cheri Tutterow) enabled them to provide the day camp and family activities at Tremont that otherwise would not have occurred.
The team from Garrett Baptist (along with Sims and the Tutterows) did a wonderful job, Ledford said.
Linda Ledford has been impressed with Sims' ministry.
"Ashley is a magnet with the kids. They are drawn to her," she observed. "She has been one of them," she added.
"It is amazing that she came here to camp with her family and now her family has returned to minister in the same campground and Ashley has been a summer missionary here," Linda Ledford said.
Joe Ledford observed that resort ministry normally just "sows seeds and trusts God for the results." Day camp participants receive Bible story books and Bibles if they do not have one.
The ministry does result in professions of faith. There were four last year and one thus far this year.
The experience with Sims has been a boost for the Ledfords. "It's been a joy to see the result of a (past) camp and to be a part of it with Ashley," Linda Ledford said.
For Ashley, who aspires to be a teacher in public schools one day, she has loved working with the kids.
"It seems like it was only a year ago when I was the one making crafts in camp or listening to a Bible story.
"Now I am helping other kids," she said.

Stoneman Douglas principal reassigned, under investigation, but will remain on campus
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Principal Ty Thompson is under investigation but will remain at the school while his duties are reassigned to other administrators, teachers learned in an impromptu meeting held at the school Thursday.
The Broward County school district confirmed that it has expanded its investigation of the circumstances leading up to the mass shooting at the school last year to include Thompson, however, spokeswoman Kathy Koch did not provide a reason in an initial statement.
Koch said Thompson will remain at the school to focus on recovery efforts and to provide oversight on the construction of the new building to replace the one where the shooting occurred. He will continue to participate in student activities and events, including prom, graduation and competitions. She said keeping Thompson on campus was in the best interest of the school community.
"Since the tragedy, Thompson has provided stability to the school and community, and has been considered by many to be instrumental in helping with healing and recovery," she said in a statement.
Day-to-day duties, however, will be reassigned to co-principal Teresa Hall, who came to the school in March 2018 following the Valentine's Day massacre that left 14 students and three staff members dead and another 17 injured. The district also announced that former Stoneman Douglas and West Broward High principal Dan Traeger will provide "additional oversight and support."
Traeger, who Koch said currently provides leadership development for principals at the district level, does not have a valid educator license, according to the Florida Department of Education website. It expired in June 2018, the website shows.
The announcement, coming a day before the start of spring break for Broward schools, is the latest development in a string of turnover and change at Stoneman Douglas. Teachers staged a protest in November after three assistant principals and a security monitor were reassigned while under investigation.
The investigation of Thompson and the three assistant principals will be completed by the end of this school year, Koch said. A law firm from Miami was hired by the school district to conduct the investigation.
Lisa Maxwell, executive director of the Broward Principals' and Assistants' Association, said Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie told Thompson in December that there was "no reason to investigate him" and that he would not be reassigned. She did not know of the shift in Thompson's administrative duties until informed by the Miami Herald.
Maxwell said Thompson received "cut and paste" sections of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Commission report from Runcie as an explanation for why he was under investigation. They say Thompson was responsible for not training or ensuring that the assistant principals were properly trained to conduct threat assessments, leaving the school gates open and unmanned and failing to have a code red procedure.
"The only thing I can come to is that the superintendent has wilted under political pressure and now decided over a year and a half later to put Ty under investigation when there's no new information and there's no new facts," Maxwell said, adding that Runcie is "clearly making it up as he goes."
She vowed to sue the district for violating the administrators' due process rights.
"I'm sure next they're going to go after teachers, the poor teachers who didn't lock their door that day," Maxwell said. "That's coming."
Teachers learned of the administrative shift at an on-campus meeting with Runcie and the district's chief school performance and accountability officer, Valerie Wanza. According to two teachers, several teachers walked out before the meeting ended.
"The teachers are angry; everybody's angry," said history teacher Gregory Pittman.
Ryan Petty, whose daughter Alaina was among those killed, sat on the commission that issued the report cited as why Thompson was under investigation, according to Maxwell.
"My view is that the principal is going to have an opportunity to defend his actions or inaction," he said. "I'm not surprised that they're using someone else's homework to investigate one of their own."
Broward County School Board member Lori Alhadeff, whose daughter Alyssa was among the students killed in the shooting, said it was in the best interest to keep Thompson at the school during testing season.
"Personally, I would say it's about time that he's under formal investigation," she said.
Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was among those killed, also said an investigation into Thompson was overdue but that fault ultimately lies with Runcie.
"Broward County Public Schools doesn't know the meaning of accountability," he said. "They know the meaning of reassignment and it takes over a year to figure out the guy didn't do his job."

we have brought to life throughout our community and the activities
we have participated in. We hope you can enjoy these gardens in person,
especially the Garden on the Bridge.
History of the Garden on the Bridge -
The following excerpts are about the history of the Garden
on the Bridge...
"The narrow cut-stone twin arch bridge was built
in 1857 by Lyman Jordan and Nathaniel Olin. The Bridge never had a
consistent name but has been called South Main Street Bridge,
Jillson Hill Bridge, Lower Bridge and Windham Road Bridge. In 1903
the trolley tracks were laid over the bridge which remained until
they were removed for car and truck traffic. The bridge survived the
hurricanes and flooding of 1938 and 1955 but was found inadequate to
handle increasing traffic. The historic stone arch bridge was
replaced by the current Thread City Crossing Bridge (known as the
Frog Bridge), and now has become the Windham Garden on the Bridge.
Over 25 granite planting beds, native trees and views of the
Willimantic River make this bridge a unique regional attraction.

Ken helps us tackle these questions using biblical knowledge and early church teachings.
Kenneth Myers - Atonement - Part 2 of 3
Bishop Kenneth Myers joins the podcast today in Pat 2 of our Atonement series! Ken is the author of "Salvation and How We Got It Wrong" which is available on Amazon.com.

Bill Winn - Sacred v Secular Dichotomy
Bill Winn is back! This week, Bill teaches us the importance of how not to divide what's sacred vs. secular in this world. Simply put, many of us grew up with this idea that life and vocation outside of typical church jobs or ministry programs is somehow two completely different things. How can an accountant or a plumber consider his/her work to be "sacred"? Bill gives us insight into how that's possible because of who God is and how he works through everyone in the world regardless of job title, position, gender, or...get this...beliefs!

Wayne Jacobsen (God's Not Mad At You - Part 2)
Wayne Jacobsen joins the podcast today. In continuing the theme on "God the Father", Wayne teaches that Jesus shows us what it looks like to live in the "Abba" father relationship that He has with His Father. Wayne also sheds light on some of our hang ups that keep us from understanding the true nature and love of God - hangs up like wrath, for example. We share a few stories including one beautiful story of an unwanted baby who was adopted by a nurse and her husband.

Review the official comments, letters and responses from the National Transitions of Care Coalition (NTOCC).
Visit the Policy Maker information page
Washington, DC – The National Transitions of Care Coalition (NTOCC)
today recognized the tremendous strides coalition members have made in helping healthcare
professionals and organizations address problems inherent in transitioning patients from one
level of care to another. In addition, the coalition identified critical work it needs to undertake to
help healthcare organizations implement improved transitional processes and develop
standards for best practices.
In a meeting of the NTOCC Advisory Task Force, Cheri Lattimer, NTOCC Project Director and Executive Director of the Case Management Society of America (CMSA), noted that the task force has grown from 13 to 29 industry stakeholders in a little under two years. Lattimer also noted that 84 other organizations have joined NTOCC as Associate Members since the launch of the program in April 2008 and another 1,306 individuals have subscribed to stay abreast of the important work being performed by NTOCC.
The Advisory Task Force reviewed tools and resources NTOCC recently released on www.ntocc.org to help improve transitions of care. A new tool was also approved at the meeting: "Taking Care of My Health Care" provides a list of critical questions that patients and their caregivers should ask clinical personnel to assist in ensuring safe and effective transitions of care. "The questions included in 'Taking Care of My Health Care' help connect the patient, their families and the healthcare professionals who care for them," Mitchell Dvorak, Executive Director of Consumers Advancing Patient Safety (CAPS) and NTOCC Advisory Task Force member explained. "Patients are the only constant in a transition and while previous NTOCC tools help professionals improve their transitions, this tool truly empowers patients and their caregivers to help with that transition by being a knowledgeable resource in their own care." NTOCC identified a new working group focusing on how health information technology can best use NTOCC tools to improve transitions of care. This new group will look at the elements that software developers can use to embed NTOCC recommendations and data elements into their products providing better integration between practice settings when transitioning patients. The Health Information Work Group joins the four other NTOCC working bodies: Education & Awareness, Tools & Resources, Policy & Advocacy and Performance & Metrics.
Transitions of care include situations in which a patient moves from primary care to specialty physicians or moves within the hospital including moves from the emergency department to other various departments, such as surgery or intensive care; or when a patient is discharged from the hospital and goes home or to an assisted living or skilled nursing facility. Patients, especially older persons, face significant challenges when moving from one level of care or practice setting to another in the healthcare system. During these transitions, lack of communication can result in redundant or conflicting information that often creates serious issues for patients, their caregivers and their families.
The NTOCC Advisory Board has guided the work of the coalition since 2006 and includes the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP), American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA), American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), American Geriatrics Society (AGS), American Medical Directors Association (AMDA), American Medical Group Association (AMGA), American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), American Society on Aging (ASA), American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP), AXA Assistance USA Inc., Case Management Society of America (CMSA), Consumers Advancing Patient Safety (CAPS), Health Services Advisory Group (HSAG), Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), Joint Commission International Center for Patient Safety (ICPS) ,Lipitz Center for Integrated Health Care, Mid-America Coalition on Health Care (MACHC), National Association of Directors of Nursing Administration - Long Term Care (NADONA / LTC), National Association of Social Workers (NASW), National Business Coalition on Health (NBCH), National Case Management Network of Canada (NCMN), National Quality Forum (NQF), Predictive Health, LLC, sanofi-aventis, U.S., LLC, Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM), The Joint Commission Disease - Specific Care Certification, United Health Group (UHG) and URAC.
About the National Transitions of Care Coalition (NTOCC)
NTOCC was formed in 2006 to address a serious U.S. health care issue: problematic situations which can occur when patients leave one care setting and move to another care setting. The U.S. healthcare system often fails to meet the needs of elderly patient populations during these transitions because care is rushed and responsibility is fragmented with little communication across care settings and multiple providers. These failures lead to undue burdens on patients and their families and negatively impact patient safety, quality of care and outcomes. The focus of NTOCC is to bring together thought leaders and health care experts from various settings to address this critical issue, define solutions and develop tools to address the gaps impacting patient care. Tools and resources developed by NTOCC will be made available to everyone in the health care industry including providers, payers, patients and consumers. NTOCC is chaired and coordinated by the Case Management Society of America in partnership with sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC. For more information visit www.ntocc.org.

i'm seeing what's around me with different eyes, hearing with different ears. now I can tell when someone around me is speaking Vietnamese, and I can actually understand some of what they say. I can read the signs in Chinatown (even some of the Chinese ones). I've taken to picking up dinner at the Thai place at the mall, because Subway just seems unappealing now. plus, of course, it reminds me of the real thing. my favourite Vietnamese restaurant (next to the Baha'i centre, no less) closed up shop, which annoyed me to no end. but there's a new Thai place there now, so I figure I'll go check it out next time I'm in the neighbourhood.
still adapting to being back in Canada, and more than just because of the cold weather. it's about being plunged back into the culture of the West, a very palpably immoderate culture, a culture shaken loose of its moral basis and bereft of direction. a "lost" culture, I suppose. I fear it, because I fear becoming lost in it. being in Vietnam did me a lot of good, i think; especially in helping me discover my limitations and rely on my strengths to compensate for my weaknesses. Canada's cool and detached (albeit friendly) social climate hasn't done me much good, I think. despite my sociable manners in everyday life, I find I have trouble opening up to social relationships, so, left to my own, I tend not to seek out the company of others. Family-centred Vietnam, with its deeply and strongly woven fabric of social support networks, seems to have helped me stay on the outside of that self-centred bubble that the individualist Westerner blows up for himself.
sitting at home in front of a gas fire now. thank goodness it's not cold in Vietnam. they don't have to close their doors to stay warm.

Two Amazing Florida Springs
This trip is all about beaches, but we ran into a problem finding campsites near some of the beaches we planned to visit. Our alternative is to find one as close as possible with a river or a spring to keep it interesting. Once we crossed the Florida line we had to move inland about an hour to find an available campsite. We found two parks that offered natural springs as their centerpieces. The weather was uncooperative and we had intermittent rain but rain has never stopped our explorations so we ventured out to see the springs. What we found was pretty amazing.
The forest really changes around natural springs. The live oaks draped in Spanish moss remain but we also found many more palmettos and palms while cypress knees seemed to sprout everywhere there is a damp patch of ground. The springs we visited are called first magnitude springs. Each produces between 80 and 100 million gallons of water per day from the underground aquifer. The age of the water can vary from one day old to 100 years old. The waters are clear and clean, but lose themselves in the rivers they run to. Blue Springs runs to the St. Johns River, and Manatee Springs flows to the Swanee River.
Blue Springs
Rain and drizzle cast a grey shadow over the park. We donned our rain ponchos and headed out to find the springs trail. Tree branches drooped in the rain and we welcomed a wooden boardwalk to avoid the mud. The park provides multiple boardwalks along the river and to the springs. It felt like we were walking through a tropical rainforest. Sprouting palmettos filled the ground around the boardwalk while live oaks and palms hung with heavy vines and draped in Spanish Moss towered above us. The atmosphere reminded me of a scene from the movie Jurassic Park. I expected to see a dinosaur at any moment.
Peeking through the foliage we could see the blue-green water of the spring pool. It seemed to "boil" as the waters pushed their way up from deep below the earth. We learned that over 100 million gallons bubble up from the spring every day and feed the St. Johns River that traverses its channel. The spring water is clear with few nutrients, and the characteristic blue-green color is a result of the algae at the bottom of the pool. Manatees love this place in the winter since the springs maintain a temperature of 72 degrees. They come to get out of the cold ocean and "vacation" at the springs until warmer temperatures and the lure of food draw them back to open water. It is May and most of the manatees are already gone except for a couple of "year-round residents" swimming near the river channel.
We met several people getting ready for a swim in the temperate spring water. A few older ladies were giddy with the prospect of jumping in the cool water. Even at 72-degrees, it is a cold plunge. A younger couple, already in the water, floated around the bubbling fountain. Some believe the water has healing powers - a kind of therapeutic bath to ease whatever ails you. It certainly offers a calming aura with its lovely color, lush tropical surroundings, and quiet setting. But there are many signs warning about alligators near the springs and they keep all of us on alert as we step down to the water's edge. I just want a few photos, these ladies just want to immerse themselves in the moment. We both get our wish. They splash into the pool and swim vigorously until they get used to the cool water. I step into the cold water, snap my photos, and wish them well. As Jim and I walk back to camp, I ask him if he would like to swim in the springs, he doesn't hesitate for a moment before declaring an emphatic "No!" Hmm. Maybe if the sun were shining and more people were in the water he might change his mind? I think it would be lovely.
Manatee Springs
Our second springs visit took us to Florida's west coast 30 minutes north of Cedar Key. The weather is much better. The sun is shining and a breeze off the river makes it feel cooler than the actual 80-degree temps. We walked from our campsite along the park road and found the path to the canoe launch, gift shop, and concession stand. Through the trees, we got a glimpse of the aquamarine blue of the springs.
The crystal clear water allowed us to watch tiny minnows swimming near the kayak launch. Algae waved like a mermaid's long tresses in the current. A few scuba divers splashed as they dived into the deeper section of the springs. The water clarity is even better than we observed at Blue Springs and we could see the divers maneuver their way over the rock shelf down to the bottom 25 feet below. I walked down the steps to the water - sets of steps dotted the walkway along the springs to give swimmers several entry points. Obviously, many people swim here!
After taking a few photos, I stepped back onto the walkway and leaned against the railing looking over the spring. My eyes drifted down to the water's edge and the rocks lining the pool. There, just under a tree, a snake lay coiled sleeping in the sun. He was large, probably two feet long if he unfurled himself. A spade-shaped head and crisscrossed patterns on his body indicated he might be one to avoid. I will look up that pattern when I get back to the RV. For now, he seems content with the fish dinner he surely had just finished.
We walked on continuing to gaze at the clear water, the trees draped in Spanish Moss, the cypress knees becoming more numerous as we walked towards the river. A wooden boardwalk picked up where the concrete one left off at the kayak launch. It leads us through a canopy of trees and over a shallow water area that was as still and clear as glass. We could see tiny green plants that I thought were on the surface of the water - until closer inspection showed they lay on the bottom - under the water! Even with cypress everywhere, the water was clear and clean. We spied a huge turtle swimming, and a raccoon foraging around a large tree, its roots leaving openings for him to disappear inside the trunk. Every so often along the boardwalk, there was an overlook that broke through the canopy to an open view of the springs channel and the Swanee River.
At the end of the boardwalk was a large pavilion with a floating dock and a pontoon boat waiting for its next outing. We looked over the vast Swanee River - that song springing to mind, I hope the tune doesn't haunt me all day. The river is broad here and a slow-moving current ripples the surface. The water is dark shrouded in the glare of the bright sun. We could see where the river met the springs channel, the aquamarine water drawing a distinct line at the river's edge. I expected the springs channel to become cloudy as it approached the river and mingled with that dark water, but no, it was quite clear where one began and the other left off.
We leaned against the railing of the boardwalk leading back to the camp. The sun shining, breeze blowing, we were not quite ready to leave. It was lovely. I stared down at the water, now closer to the spring, the river under me was clearer. Something moved - it looked quite large, perhaps three, maybe four feet long. An alligator? No, it moved more like a fish - a very large fish. If we were closer to the ocean I might suspect a small shark. We watched as it swam slowly against the current almost hovering in place. In the boardwalk pavilion, there was a fish species chart and we walked back to compare what we saw. Nothing seemed that large. Jim guessed a largemouth bass or a catfish, but it seemed too large for that. On the opposite side of the chart was a poster describing sturgeon that frequent the area in warmer weather. These huge fish can grow up to 9 feet long and up to 300 pounds here in the river. That must be what we saw. It made quite a bit of splashing as we approached the dock and again on the other side of the pavilion - but we looked too late. We may never know!
We stood there a long time watching the fish through the clear water, then slowly walked back down the boardwalk through the cypress swamp. I noticed another of the black banded water snakes swimming in the water among the tree roots. Note to self: this area is not for swimming!
As lovely as the springs were to view and the river to explore, I think the most marvelous part of the day was our walk through the swamp. Birds called out to one another both near us and from far away. The sound seemed to resonate off the trees - almost as an echo. The swamp stretches as far as I could see in one direction and the birdsong seemed to emanate from within that deep distance. All around me the sun sparkled and dappled the clear, shallow water. The dark trees, the sun playing through the branches, the glint on the water, the birdsong... it was ethereal. I would like to capture it on film but I know a photo would not do it justice. Some places you just have to visit. This is one of them.

This Makeup Artist Has Created 1 Insane Halloween Look Every Day of October Since 2012
Some of us spend ALL YEAR trying to come up with what we're going to dress up as for just one day — October 31. Yes, we're talking about Halloween. There are so many choices like group costume or couples costume, buy or DIY and should the dog/cat also dress up this year? Now imagine if you had to come up with 31 ideas, one for every single day of October. That's what Alabama-based uber-talented makeup artist and photographer Amanda Chapman has been doing ever since 2012. Amanda not only conceives and executes some insanely intricate, sometimes gruesome but always amazing costumes ideas, but she also photographs them and uploads them to her Flickr stream.
The reason why Amanda is so committed to creating these looks will warm your heart. Amanda's husband, Greg, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in August 2012. In order to keep the family morale up (the couple has two teenage kids), Amanda decided in September of 2012, that to help everyone "get their minds off" of Greg's illness, for every day in October to create and photograph a costume for a character from a book or movie that she loved. The photo series "31 Days of Halloween" was born. She has been committed to the project for four years now — her Flickr stream is now a smash hit.
Impressively, Amanda is a self-taught makeup artist, learning most of her skills from trial and error as well as YouTube tutorials, and spends anywhere from two to five hours on her looks. Some of Amanda's creations are so transformative, people don't believe it's really her in the image. But Amanda wants to say, "Yes, it's me in every single makeup."
We asked her what her favorite look to create was. Her response? "My most beloved character makeup that I have done in my 31 Days Of Halloween series is Edward Scissorhands. Johnny Depp happens to be my favorite actor and Tim Burton's imagination is so dark and beautiful. While the makeup itself is somewhat subtle, the contrast between his innocent eyes and his deadly scissorhands was a pleasure to recreate. It was wonderful to be Edward for a day! "
While Amanda has been at this for a number of years (and has gained a lot of fans along the way), 2015 marks a particularly special year because her husband Greg is recovering from chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. "This year it is more of a celebration because he's come through this with flying colors," Amanda shared. "This guy is my hero."
You're our hero, Amanda.
Check out her inspiring video interview with Flickr below.

text: Y O G A. 4 letters, sequenced together to form one word. Simple, right? Little did I know that word would have such a profound impact on my life. Prior to developing a regular yoga practice my life was messy. A series of setbacks left me bitter and resentful towards life. I used to always ask "why me? What did I do to deserve this?" These habitual thought patterns were wreaking havoc on the quality of my life and were draining me of self-confidence. I knew I needed change & decided to move to downtown Lansing. I thought this would help, and it did…for a bit. But I started to realize that changing my environment or material possessions were just short term fixes & what I really needed to change was myself. It was at that point that I decided to develop a consistent yoga practice. I researched local studios online and discovered that there was a yoga studio only a few blocks away from home. The following day I attended my first class at Hilltop yoga, a 90-minute vinyasa class. It was very challenging, but I distinctly remember feeling so good afterward. It was as if I forgot what it was like to feel happiness and the first building block of my practice was laid. My second Hilltop class really laid the foundations for my yoga practice & literally changed my life. It was a led Primary-Series Ashtanga class, my first introduction to the Ashtanga yoga practice and into the 8 limbs of yoga. The practice and eight limbs literally blew my mind. Prior to this exposure I had viewed yoga as part of a fitness routine. Little did I know that it really was a science of the mind & how gaining control over our thoughts could lead toward a more peaceful life. Slowly the practice took root, and I started to gain control over my thought patterns, and the quality of my life started to improve. I started to view my past setbacks in a completely different light. They no longer seemed like setbacks, but tremendous lessons. Lessons that I needed to learn to keep me on the right path, lessons that allowed me to have tremendous amount of empathy for others, and lessons that I could share with others. I'm forever grateful for my Hilltop family and the inspiration that my fellow teachers & students give me. I also hope to inspire others in a similar fashion with this amazing practice we call YOGA. Namaste.

Salman Rushdie to speak Thursday in Albany
Salman Rushdie will be heading to Albany on Thursday — some 30 years after he was first scheduled to appear there.
He'll be speaking at 7:30 p.m .at Page Hall (135 Western Ave.) on the University at Albany's downtown campus. Rushdie's appearance is part of the New York State Writers Institute programming and the UAlbany Speaker Series.
The author was originally scheduled to visit the Institute in 1988, however, due to the controversy surrounding his novel "The Satanic Verses," Rushdie had to cancel.
"We have long wanted to bring Salman Rushdie to UAlbany," said Paul Grondahl, director of the Institute.
"The Writers Institute's persistence paid off. Rushdie is coming to campus after a 30-year hiatus."
Rushdie has been busy over the years, penning 13 books, though none were perhaps as controversial as "The Satanic Verses." His novel "Midnight's Children" won the Booker Prize as well as the "Booker of Bookers" in 1993 and the "Best of the Booker," in 2008. Rushdie has also co-edited "Mirrorwork," an anthology of Indian writing and the 2008 "Best American Short Stories" anthology.
His latest work, "The Golden House," which came out in 2017, has become a New York Times Bestseller. It's a parable of American life that weaves in contemporary politics and culture.
During his visit, Rushdie will hold a Q&A session at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. Prior to that, at 4:15 p.m., he will hold a craft talk lecture at Lecture Center 25 on the University at Albany's uptown campus.
Both events are free and open to the public. For more information visit nyswritersinstitute.org.
