DUI Appeals Reports 02/23/16/
The Eighth District seems to hold that an officer may initiate a traffic stop whenever a vehicle switches lanes of traffic, regardless of whether the officer has reason to believe they failed to ascertain whether it was safe to do so.
City of Strongsville v. Rodriguez, 2016 Ohio 201 (8th Dist.).
January 21, 2016
An officer observed Rodriguez's car about five feet off the shoulder of I-71 angled at about 45 degrees. After his vehicle merged onto the highway without incident, the officer initiated a traffic stop, which ultimately ended with an OVI citation. Rodriguez appealed, arguing that the officer lacked reasonable suspicion to lawfully stop his vehicle.
The Eighth District reviewed the relevant statute, which states:
(1) A vehicle or trackless trolley shall be driven, as nearly as is practicable, entirely within a single lane or line of traffic and shall not be moved from such lane or line until the driver has first ascertained that such movement can be made with safety.
Rodriguez argued that the officer could not tell whether he first ascertained that he could move out of his lane safely. The Eighth District concluded, however, that an Ohio Supreme Court case already addressed this question in State v. Mays, 119 Ohio St.3d 406, 2008-Ohio-2807, which held:
R.C. 4511.33 does provide for certain circumstances in which a driver can cross a lane line without violation of the statute. However, the question of whether appellant might have a possible defense to a charge of violating R.C. 4511.33 is irrelevant in our analysis of whether an officer has a reasonable and articulable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop. An officer is not required to determine whether someone who has been observed committing a crime might have a legal defense to the charge.
In Mays, however, the driver was witnessed weaving in and out of his lane twice. A concurring opinion found this stop justified instead based on the officer's "reasonable belief that there was a need for immediate aid and assistance."

Vanuatu's former prime minister Joe Natuman says his political career is not over yet.
The Court of Appeal last week upheld a decision by the Speaker of Parliament to declare the Tanna MP's seat vacant.
This followed Mr Natuman's conviction for perverting the course of justice, for which he was given a two-year suspended sentence.
A by-election is expected to be held on Tanna within the next two months, with a date to soon be announced by the Electoral Commissiner.
Mr Natuman, who was deputy prime minister before his ejection from parliament, said his Vanua'aku Pati planned to contest the by-election.
"My communities basically say that they wanted me in, and they did not like other people deciding that I should finish. Under the democratic process it's the people who decide," he explained.
"In this case, although an institution decided, they (Tanna constituents) said we still support you. They say you haven't killed anyone, it's just a process, so we are still trusting you and believing in you, so that's what they say."
Mr Natuman is ineligible to stand in the by-election, but said his party would field a candidate who could hold the seat for the remaining two years of the parliament term.
Unless his people withdrew their support for him, he indicated he would stand again for parliament in 2020.
Regarding his ejection from parliament on the ruling of the Speaker, Esmon Saimon, Mr Natuman said he respected the decision.
"Yeah, the speaker was just doing his job. He was advised by the state law office to do that, and he went and proceeded, so he was just doing his duty," Mr Natuman said.
Mr Natuman's conviction stemmed from his attempt to stop a police team from investigating high-ranking officers accused of mutiny when he was prime minister in 2014.
He said he acted in the national interests by trying to resolve an impasse in a police force which had been repeatedly hampered by divisions in its hierarchy.
"But apparently other people in the court system saw it differently. So I accept that. That's alright. That's the normal process," he said.
"But as far as political wise, and in terms of democratic process, in terms of parliamentary democracy, people decide and people remove."
Mr Natuman was upbeat about the future of the Vanua'aku Pati, which he remains the leader of. Any leadership change would have to be decided by the party at its congress later in the year.
The country's oldest political party is still a central part of the coalition government and is seeking to revive its earlier popularity.
"We have six seats, but now other people are coming to join us, including one from the Green Party, the MP for Shepard Islands, he joined us. Another MP who was aligned to the Iauko Group, an MP from Santo, Hosea Nevu, he came over and joined us."
Joe Natuman said that although he was now out of parliament, he continued to support Vanuatu's current government, led by Charlot Salwai.
Mr Salwai's coalition government has now been in power for two and half years, no small achievement given the chronic political instability of Vanuatu politics since the 1990s.

The Magician King
The first time I read The Magicians, I could see that it was something special. Grossman was taking the books I loved as a child and turning them inside out, deftly. But I didn't love it the first time. There was something about it found difficult to completely take in. I don't know what it was. It wasn't more difficult reading than any other literary novel, certainly not something I had to struggle to understand, but I did find myself struggling to actually sit down and read it. It didn't call to me from my reading table, like some books do when I'm in the middle of them, to come and finish the story. Instead, I had to make a choice to sit down and read a few more chapters.
The second time I read The Magicians, I found magic there I had missed on my first reading, and it was so much worth it. I am so glad I gave the novel a second chance. Grossman has to know how thoroughly he took the enchantments and disillusionments of my experience of growing up and gave them back to me in a form so rich with wisdom that I felt like he was reading my mind and understanding it better than I ever did. And I suppose that, although my life seems special and unique to me, he was writing to emotional and psychological experiences of growing from childhood to adulthood in love with fantasy books that are common to man of us. I found wisdom, when I read The Magicians the second time.
And so I patiently waited for The Magician King to finally reach my name on the reserve list at the Cincinnati Public Library. I had to wait a while, so I suspect that every nerd in Cincinnati was also on the list. My inferiority complex assures me that the rest of them understood the first novel on first reading.
The title of The Magician King refers to Quentin, the narrator of The Magicians, who I last saw finished with his education at a school which is certainly not Hogwarts, flying out a window to return to the Narnia-like Kingdom of Fillory, to maybe reign as one of four kings and queens of that magical kingdom. Just when disillusionment seemed too much, he grabbed a thread of hope and… the book ended.
So here's Quentin again, settled and contented as a king of Fillory, with a magic horse and a pleasant quest and a beautiful, simple room in the tower of the castle, finally adjusted to life as a magician king. Happy, more or less.
But despite the title and the first narrator, this book isn't really about Quentin. It's more about Julia. Remember Julia? She was Quentin's crush object in high school. They both took the exam to go to Brakebills, the magical college, together, but when Quentin was accepted, Julia found herself back home with a disturbing hole in her memory. I last saw her in Brooklyn, angry and bitter at being left behind, feeling like her destiny had been stolen.
In Fillory, Julia is different. She has magical power now that is different from anything they teach at Brakebills, darker and wilder and more dangerous. She is changed, herself, too- she has clearly paid a high price for the magic she wanted so badly.
So there are two stories in The Magician King. There's the story of a quest, on a ship which is not named Dawn Treader but might as well be, a quest to the islands at the edge of Fillory in search of seven golden keys. And there's the story, told in flashbacks, of how Julia learned her magic, and the price she paid for it.
Julia's story is the story that was, for me, the point of this book. Her anger, her pain, her darkness, her quest for magic, are so passionately real I feel like she is a real person.
It's been kind of a not-so-great week for me. I had far too many papers to grade, tests and essays and reading responses, and I've been feeling overtaxed and spread too thin. Even my hour in the morning, stolen for reading, wasn't giving me enough pleasure to compensate for the badly-mannered students in my ninth bell class. And I was finding The Magician King, like its predecessor, to be a little bit of a slog on first reading. But last night, and this morning, as I reached the conclusion of the book, Julia's story become so powerful and horrifying and wonderful that I was glad I'd made the journey.
I think this is a book that I'm going to need to read twice in order to fully take it in, just like the first book. And I think that, in six months or a year, when the first reading has had a chance to settle in a little bit, I'll see The Magician King on a new paperbacks shelf somewhere, and read it again, and I predict that it, too, will repay richly on second reading the effort I spent on the first.
And now it's time to go to work, and go over boring vocabulary lessons and even more boring tests, and deal with four seventh graders who are smarter than their parents and so haven't yet realized that they aren't smarter than all adults. I will be bored and annoyed. But somewhere in my brain, I'll have a vision of Julia at the end of this book, which will be enough- just barely enough- to get me through the day.

Whistle Creek Dog Treats are personally handcrafted in small batches in Lexington, VA, nestled within the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. We use 100% natural ingredients, including our own homemade peanut butter & fresh milled gluten free flour, as well as some local and organic ingredients. Our treats are made and baked personally with love without the use of wheat, corn, soy, artificial dyes, fillers, or by products. Our mission is to provide quality, limited ingredient, wholesome treats for your beloved Dog to enjoy.
Whistle Creek Dog Treats started as a passionate vision and desire to create wholesome, healthy, natural treats for dogs to enjoy, inspired by my own rescue dog of almost 5 years. In certain towns and communities it can be hard to find treats that are not made without the addition of dyes, coloring, fillers, and chemicals that are sometimes difficult to pronounce. There has also been many dog food and dog treat recalls for certain products, including many treats that are sourced and made outside of the USA. I knew if I could control the ingredients as well as the treat creation process that I could have peace of mind of the finished product and overall quality.
Almost five years ago I rescued a beautiful Australian Cattle Dog "Shenzi" (named after one of the Hyenas on Lion King) from a local humane society along the east coast, and little did I know at the time, she'd touch my life forever. I believe that dogs are great life teachers if we pay close attention. In more ways than one, she has in turn, rescued me and taught me more about unconditional love and true friendships. Our slogan is, "Less Fuss More Joy" because we believe its the simple joys in life that sometimes mean the most.

An entrepreneur at heart, Amy decided to combine her passions and professional experience to form a new company, and after several months of planning, Bow Wow Meow Baking Co. was born.

Many of the ingredients used in our recipes have specific health benefits for your dog.

Hello! I'm Chloe and I am the owner of Simply Sage Dog Treats. My husband and I love animals and are especially fond of dogs. Because of our love for Sage, our adopted Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix, we decided to start making all-natural vegan dog treats for her to enjoy.
Simply Sage Dog Treats started off as an experiment. I never imaged that it would grow into an online dog treat bakery. Early 2015, I began researching various types of herbal teas and their health benefits for the human body and found that certain teas are good for dogs too. So I set out on a journey to create herbal tea-infused dog treats for my puppy. After many sad attempts and many months of encouragement from my sweet and supportive husband, I finally created a recipe that my dog would eat. Sage can be so picky at times. After sharing the treats with our friends and their pets and receiving so many positive reviews, we decided to start an online dog treat bakery.
Smoky Mountain Dog Bakery is the first Bakery that Unleashed partnered up with. While they are not located in Virginia - we have built up a relationship with the company and there are a lot of dogs who have fallen in love with their treats just as much as we have. Therefore, we will continue to supply their treats for as a long as they are willing to bake them for us!
The Smoky Mountain Dog Bakery was one of the first businesses I visited when I moved to Waynesville several years ago. I loved the concept of a store that focused on healthy treats for dogs and cats and unique items for pets and pet lovers.
Last year, after 20+ years of working in the corporate world, I decided it was time to do something I really loved and which would allow to do more to improve the plight of homeless and abused animals.
I purchased the Smoky Mountain Dog Bakery in August of 2015 and have loved every minute of owning the Bakery since. In addition to being a fun business with a wonderful customer base, it has allowed me to do a lot of things to support our local animal shelter and rescue organizations like Sarge's.
My personal pet family includes six adopted dogs that roam the 45 acres of my home at Stevens Creek Mountain Farm.
Julie, Owner
In the spring of 2012, I unexpectedly stumbled upon a dog adoption operating on the side of Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, CA. I was in no way planning, or prepared to adopt a rescue animal when I left the house that morning, but when a malnourished, brown and white, Dalmatian crawled into my lap, it was clear that I would be welcoming a new member to my family. She immediately became the center of my life and I cannot imagine a day without her.
Similar stories occur thousands of times each week, yet there is still a drastic shortfall of suitable homes and safe haven shelters for abandoned dogs. We strongly believe that every dog, young and old, deserves a second chance at a better life with a loving family.
Why coffee? Coffee is the drink of revolutions. Where coffee has come, change has followed. It has led to kings being overthrown, countries revolting against unjust rule and now it is time for coffee to revolutionize the way we treat our furry friends in need. I have loved coffee since I took my first sip on a cold Pittsburgh morning as a 12 year old. For the past 15 years, my passion for the perfect brew has led me to seek out amazing coffees all over the world. It really is a dream come true to be on the other side of the bag, bringing delicious, fresh roasted coffee to your home.
In the words of the great philosopher Charles Schultz, "Happiness is a warm puppy." I hope you love our coffee, and I hope you will join us on our no kill mission.

K9 Body Armor
Our K9 Body Armor Collection was a symbolic way to show support for our brave police force and to fundraise for K9 body armor and the medical expenses of our injured K9 heroes, often not provided for in municipal budgets.
Feeding Shelter Dogs
In May 2015 we asked ourselves, "What do shelters need? What would truly and tangibly make an impact". The answer? Food. As our Flagship Program, many of the items in the iHeartDogs store provide meals for shelter dogs.
In 1996, Montana-native Spencer Williams, purchased a small pet toy company in Livingston, Montana. Growing up on a ranch in easterm Montana, animals had a special place in his heart - especially stray dogs and cats. So, with five full-time employees, and an impressive team of home-sewers, the team set out to make the world's safest and highest quality dog and cat toys.
Instead of outsourcing manufacturing to Asia, which was the current trend in the 90's, Spencer decided to invest in local talent and built a state-of-the-art, eco-friendly manufacturing facility in Bozeman, Montana (where we still operate from today).
The crew at West Paw always knew they were going to do more than "manufacture dog toys," they were going to make a difference . . .
We incorporate sustainable practices in manufacturing and thoughtfully design our toys and beds. An example of this is our award winning and extremely durable Zogoflex® dog toys - they can all be infinitely recycled through our Join the Loop® program. It also inspired us to become co-founders of the Montana Coalition for the Outdoors and a founding member of the Pet Sustainability Coalition.
While some thing have changed, a lot remains the same. We still use and store finished goods in re-usable banana boxes (keeping them out of the landfill and eliminating the need to buy plastic totes). We continue to develop responsible and eco-friendly manufacturing practices in all areas of the company and use IntelliLoft®, a recycled plastic fill and fabric in our toys and beds.
It's been over 20 years since Spencer started the company now known as West Paw and he couldn't be happier. "Pets add so much joy to people's lives and one of our values is to give back to them with great products. Being in Montana, and working with an amazing team of people, is not a bad way to spend my days."
The idea of writing cards from the dog was actually created by my Mom, so she really gets all the credit. Mom and Dad have been dog sitting their grand dogs for over 20 years now and Mom has always reported their daily activities via letters written in DOG SPEAK. Thanks Mom!
In 2005, I began writing and creating a card line that would reflect the same loving and humorous sentiments that I received from my dogs. I wanted the cards to be able to communicate my crazy dog love feelings and the unique relationship that I have had with all the dogs that have been part of my life. So, Dog Speak was born with a dream and prayer in hopes that one day I would become an offical entrepawneur.
In a blink of an eye, the years have flown by, and here we are celebrating our 10th birthday! We started with only 48 greeting cards and now we have expanded to over 70 cards and over 250 gift items.
So, here we venture into our 10th year of business, offering you the best product in Dog Speak history! We began this journey with a 4 page catalog and now we have over 60 pages of incredible products! Now that's what I call a little bit of growth. With the utmost gratitude and appreciation for your business, I say thank you from the bottom of my dog loving soul!!!
Polkadog Bakery is our tribute to Pearl. Found as a stray outside San Juan, Puerto Rico, Pearl had only one eye, which gave her the funny habit of dancing her head from side to side whenever she stopped to say hello! She did a little sort of polka to everyone she met. So Pearl became the Polka Dog, and danced her way into people's hearts. Hard living had left our gem in need of a little extra nurturing, and to spoil her properly, we took to baking her gourmet treats. We used the finest ingredients we could find, mixed and matched different recipes, and baked a little love in every bite. And Polkadog Bakery was born. We still use the finest ingredients, and bake and prepare all our delicacies by hand. We now offer these treats to you, for your own four-legged diamond in the rough.
So what's in real soap? Oil and water bound together with sodium hydroxide. That's it. Basically, a fatty acid (the oil) combined with an alkali (the sodium hydroxide) creates a salt (the soap.) The alkali is neutralized in the reaction, leaving a cleansing, moisturizing compound we call "soap."We've experienced unbelievable results since we began using our own soaps, which, by the way, we wouldn't ask you to pay money for if we weren't willing to use it ourselves. Two of our teenagers are off oral medications for acne. We've heard several similar testimonials from others, too. One customer cancelled a dermatology appointment for acne after just three days of using our soap. The more "senior" members of the family have experienced a decrease of lines and dryness. Plus - we try to make it look and smell good.We won't claim it's a cure-all for everything that ails you, but it's a great shower companion.

Vikes Blog – Inside summer training with Vikes runner Rachel Francois – File Photo by Glenn Ivens (ISN)
June 8, 2013, Victoria, BC (ISN) – My name is Rachel Francois, and I am an 800 m track athlete competing for the UVic Vikes. I'm going into my third year at the school and it is safe to say that so far my experience has exceeded my expectations.
I love being a part of this community, especially with my team. The Vikes cross-country and track team is a great group and every single person brings a little spice to the mix. The team is mostly comprised of distance runners, allowing the team to have more of a focus without field athletes or sprinters. I guess the 'running' joke (cheap pun), would be that I am the "sprinter" of the team because I do significantly less volume than the rest of the them, coming from a more 400 and 800 m background in terms of my training. The range of abilities on the team goes from "us" 800 runners, all the way to 5 km and 10 km runners. Distance runners are known to be eccentric, silly, and notoriously skinny. I guess, with all those laps we run, you have to be a little bit crazy. This is why I'd like to share our experiences throughout the summer season with this blog.
Rachel Francois, UVIC Track and Field – File Photo by Glenn Ivens (ISN)
In sport, it really is a case that the journey is just as important as the destination. While it is the final results which determine our success (the numbers, stats and finishing moments), what really makes the end result special and meaningful is getting through the hard work, struggles, lessons and small triumphs along the way. Track is more than just running around in circles as fast as you can. Through this, I'd love to bring a personal perspective on behalf of the track team, and in a more general sense, from the Vikes, on the adventures and journeys of these athletes throughout this summer.
The beautiful thing about track is as individual of a sport it is, the unity and friendships made between people from all teams, and all over, are incredible. They are the type of friendships that when you see each other, you always pick up right where you left off no matter how long you spend apart. One recent case of the track community showing this is through the passing of Danielle Kendall, a Calgary Dinos runner, whose life was taken last week while climbing in Ecuador. The whole track community, nation-wide, was affected like a ripple but everyone was able to come together and support each other. In the track meet last weekend, which had many Western Canadian athletes running, a large majority of the athletes raced in red bandanas in Danielle's honour. It was an amazing tribute to her life.
So, what is coming up for the Vikes track team? The schedule is beginning to get busy for us. People are dispersing to various meets nation wide. This weekend, majority of the team will be racing in Coquitlam. This is the Canada Summer Games trials for team BC and a number of athletes will be looking to try out. On the other side of the country there is a big track meet in Halifax, part of the National Track League (NTL) series. A few of our athletes are also racing there. The NTL is a series which features high performance elite runners from not only Canada, but international athletes as well. There is a prize purse, with money to be one for top performances both in each meet and in the series overall. This year the meets start in Halifax, and work their way west: Halifax, Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver, and lastly ending in Victoria!! The Victoria meet is July 5th at Centennial Stadium so be sure to mark your calendars.
These next few meets are preparing us for the big one – nationals is only two weeks away! This will take place in Moncton, NB and this meet is the trials for both the World Championships in Moscow and the Russia and Francophone Games in Nice, France.
So follow along as I provide updates on the adventures and performances of the Vikes track team throughout or summer season!

(AllHipHop News) A$AP Rocky loves the competitive spirit his brethren Kendrick Lamar incited with his "Control" verse but does believe the West Coast MC was "crazy" for naming himself the King of New York.
In an interview with Hot 97's Funkmaster Flex, A$AP Rocky, one of the MC's named in Kendrick's "Control" verse, Rocky said Kendrick must be "smoking crack" in reference to his King of New York comment. While the Harlem MC was simply joking, he did believe it was good for Hip Hop:
Honestly, K. Dot and them ni**as, that's fam. I think hip-hop needs this shit," said Rocky. "It's ni**as pissed off just because they wasn't mentioned. I'm not justifying shit, rap is rap. The ni**a didn't say nothing about nobody mother, he ain't want problems. He said these is my ni**as and I'm lettin' ya'll know it's competition. What's the problem? That man know I'm where he at.
Rocky then admitted that he hardly listens to rap these days however he did like Joell Ortiz and B.O.B's responses to Kendrick.

Charlotte Bridal Session | Anna
My first session back after maternity leave.
Thankfully I had a trial run of leaving Gabriela for a wedding when I second shot a wedding a few weeks prior to this, so I wasn't AS emotional. But man, it's hard leaving that little girl of mine. Getting back into wedding season has been exactly what I needed though. It's nice to have a little time to feel like just me again and not Mom me. Being Gabi's Mommy is 100% the best thing I've ever done and ever will do in my life, but it's a good thing to give my mom brain a rest for a little while ;) While I was shooting Anna's bridal session I realized just how much I missed photography and weddings and it really made me fall in love with everything all over again. Here are a few favorites from Anna's session.


text: Romanv825 5 Posted November 20, 2016 Hello, Does anyone know how to correct "stretched" sagittal and coronal planes in 3D Slicer? The axial plane is normal. According to the Slicer wiki, i think that using the Orient Scalar Volume may solve this but within the Converters module there is only BSpline to deformation field. There is a parameter set for Create new command line, but that's a bit beyond my skillset. I'll attach a screenshot and if anyone has an easy way to solve this i'd love to hear it. If there's a hard way to solve it i'd love to hear it too but feel free to explain like i'm 5. Slicer wiki page: https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/4.0/Modules/OrientScalarVolume Currently using Slicer 4.5.0-1 Thanks in advance!

Singapore has the fastest 4G network in the Asia-Pacific region, followed by South Korea and Australia.
Singapore is also the fastest 4G, also known as Long Term Evolution, country in the world, according to a report by Open Signal, a UK-based wireless technology company. The report compares 4G performance across 88 countries worldwide.
South Korea has the second-fastest network in Asia, followed by Australia and New Zealand. In Australia, Vodafone has jumped ahead of Telstra in the 4G speed metric, averaging downloads of 40 Mbps.
According to the report, through improved smartphone technology and new spectrums, mobile operators elevated average 4G speeds first beyond 20 Mbps, then beyond 30 Mbps, and in the last two years beyond 40 Mbps.
However, now the industry seems to have reached a limit to what current technology, spectral bandwidth and mobile economics can support on a nationwide level.

Of all the aspects of Rainbow I can write about, few have as much applicability as the means of conflict resolution and decision-making at the Gathering. Let's dive right in to part 4!
This is a work-in-progress paper on the Rainbow Gathering, and specifically the importance that I believe it holds to the freedom movement, both as proof-of-concept and as an already established global network. I am very much looking for input, please give any feedback, ask any questions, and generally just let loose, so that I can create the most fleshed-out writeup possible.
- Part 1: Introduction, Key Principles
- Part 2: History, Original purpose of the gathering, Interactions with the state
- Part 3: Layout, Camps & Kitchens, and Infrastructure
- Part 4: Conflict resolution, Consensus-based decision making (this post)
- Part 5: Rainbow outside the gathering, Conclusion
Conflict Resolution
The incidences of violence & aggressive conflict are greatly reduced at a Gathering compared to the world at large, thanks to the container of love and compassion that has been created, the recognition of individual sovereignty, and the lack of alcohol. On those rare occasions when violence of some sort does break out, Rainbow is already prepared for it. The term is Shanti Sena, which translates to "Peace Army", and everyone at the Gathering is Shanti Sena. If someone sees a fight breaking out, they yell out "Shanti Sena!", and everyone within hearing repeats the call, while also moving towards the origin. As the shouts ripple outward, there are soon dozens of people on scene to help out. The idea of Shanti Sena is to nonviolently de-escalate the situation, only resorting to a physical response when absolutely necessary (usually involving simply pulling people apart, or tying someone to a tree who is unwilling/unable to be talked down). Workshops and trainings on Shanti Sena practices and principles are quite common at the gathering, and can present newcomers with many skills that are applicable anywhere in life.
Working with the Portland Peace Team at a March in Portland
This model has been adopted by outside organizations like the Portland Peace Team, where I had my introduction to de-escalation tactics. I joined the team in 2014, and attended various events as part of the team, helping to calm down those who get aggressive, and also acting as a buffer between police & protesters.
Consensus-Based Decision Making
All decisions of any import at/about the Gathering, from where the next one will be held, to what will be bought on town runs, are made by consensus, usually by humans gathering in a circle. One of these circles, called councils, is probably happening at all times in a Gathering. These usually look about the same, with a group circling up, with some topic that needs to be discussed. Most often, o open the circle, everyone holds hands, breathes together, and generally ohms and/or sings together, often followed by someone explaining what the purpose of the council is. From that point, a talking stick/feather is passed around, and everyone has the opportunity to speak when they have the feather. Consensus has been reached when nobody has anything else to add.
Councils are generally open to everyone who wants to attend, or everyone who is affected for smaller-scale decision making. By deciding not to attend, you are trusting your family to reach a decision for you, and in many cases it doesn't make sense for everyone to attend every council. If you don't ever work in a kitchen, you wouldn't have much to add to kitchen council, just as someone who knows nothing about architecture or construction wouldn't have much to add to a council about building a house.
Some examples of common councils:
- Main Council begins after the Peace Prayer on July 4th, and goes on for hours a day, until a decision has been reached on the general area for the next year's Gathering. This process often takes many days. Once a general area has been decided, the council is over, and for the next year, scouts explore National Forests in the region, taking pictures, making notes, and doing general research. All of this leads back around to Spring Council.
- Spring Council begins in early June, at a central location in the region that was decided for that year's Gathering. Everyone who wants to be involved in choosing the exact location of the Gathering is welcome to attend. The scouts present the data they have collected over the past 10 months, and council operates in the usual way, until a decision has been reached. Once that happens, the GPS coordinates & directions are put up online, and Seed Camp begins, with folks building kitchens, clearing trails, running water lines, and digging shitters.
- Kitchen Council happens every morning of the Gathering. Representatives from the kitchens meet up, circle, and balance inventories, discuss any issues with the water supply, and come up with a list for whoever is going to town on a supply run.

Fun to see my efforts in a grouping like this
Day 1 Purple Finch
Being greeted by these brightly coloured birds was breath-taking. They are not a regular visitor to our feeders but were around for a few days at Christmas.
Day 2 Seed Stuffer
Our feeders provide us a constant source of entertainment when we are sitting down to eat. They are located right outside our large kitchen window. The little red squirrel has claimed on of the birdhouses as its own, chewed the opening to make it larger and stores is seeds in the birdhouse.
Day 3 Lunch on the Deck
These amazing little birds gather as group every morning and afternoon at the feeders we have on our deck. They stay for hours providing plenty of entertainment for those of us lucky enough to be there. They fight over the perces at the feeders - kind of cute.
Day 4 Nut Job
The daily antics of our little red squirrels give us so much amusement. They appear to be so expressive as they raid our seed and nut staches.
Day 5 Cheeky Chickadee
These little birds amaze me with their spirit. I cannot get over how these little birds will loudly inform us when the feeders are empty. Or even tell us off when we are out on the deck and in their way to the feeders. Cute and spirited. Almost my favourite!
Day 6 Out on a Limb
Sweet and lively chickadees always make my heart sing.
Day 7 Song Sparrow
Another Sweet visitor to our feeders. This one seems to be patiently waiting its turn at the feeders.

Finding unique products to sell on Amazon
ways to find new products (most sellers don't do these)
While there is growing number of sellers on Amazon, you'll likely have noticed that the majority source their products through Alibaba. To differentiate your business, look for other ways to find your next products, like:
- Sourcing locally - what products are produced in your local area? Maybe you can sell these on Amazon. You should also walk through retail stores and look out for products that catch your eye.
- Going to tradeshows - most categories have at least 1 major show per year. For example if you're selling in the baby category, search "baby expo" on google. Even if you can't attend a tradeshow or expo, most of these websites provide an exhibitor list - go to their websites and see what types of products they offer.
- Be an active participant in your category / niche - by contributing on forums, reading articles and following the biggest brands, you'll be more informed than your competitors and can use this knowledge to create better products for your customers in the future. You may even be able to spot a big trend in its infancy and gain first mover advantage on Amazon!
While these approaches require more effort than Alibaba, they're much more difficult for other sellers to imitate - it's doing things like this that can help your brand separate itself from the pack and grow!
Graphic Design for Amazon Sellers
I was recently introduced to Outlinematic, an excellent team of graphic designers for Amazon Sellers. They can design logos, packaging, inserts, brochures and even infographics! Check out an example of their work below.
Very impressed by their work and all packages include unlimited revisions too. Use coupon code "AMZEUROPE" for a 10% discount - check out their site for more info!
How our client added €25,000 in monthly revenue on Amazon EU
Many sellers think that the only worthwhile Amazon EU marketplaces are the UK & Germany. In this case study, we worked with a client that had very low sales in France, Italy & Spain.
Learn how we helped this client achieve a major uplift in monthly revenue, with an increase of over €25,000 across these 3 marketplaces - https://www.amzeurope.com/amazon-fba-eu-case-study

I have been waiting for this day for almost 2 months- the day I plug in my Bamboo Tablet. My super observant best friend gave me the Bamboo for my birthday (which was July 4th)- I did have this listed under, I think it was, "want" on a need.want.love. blog post.
Why the wait you ask? Well, I knew that I would need some time to get this installed and learn the ins and outs. If I plugged the Bamboo in during the midst of a busy week, one where I haven't taken a shower in 2 days and gotten an average of 3 hours of sleep a night, I think I would be cheating myself out of something. And if I plugged the Bamboo in during the midst of a semi busy week then I would get so wrapped up in all the bells and whistles that the week would soon become the 3 hour sleep average, my hair looks like a greasy lions mane week- and no one likes that.
So, 51 days later, here I am, wahoo!!!
After downloading all the drivers and all that, I jump right in.
Without much success- bamboo makes my handwriting look just slightly more like a deranged lunatic, serial killer's handwriting than it does in real life.
So after being forced to shut down the program, reboot and reopen the program (the whole time wondering why in the name of all things good there is not a manual or a tutorial for this darn thing) I discover...
Oh, the tutorial.
Some how between opening the box and downloading the programs I became a man (no offense guys, I love you but 90% of you are just awful at reading directions- admit it, it's true- it can happen to the best of us.:))
I wondering if my altered state happened when I was inturruped by something hideous...
Rudy's breath- dun-dun-DUN!!!!! I had to stop what I was doing to brush his teeth- there was no alternative. I'm sure the gases that I exposed myself when my head was in his mouth scrambled my brain.
Anyway, I am left with a tutorial to finish at 10:39am- a less than productive morning but that is why I waited.
So expect a suuuuper cool blog post Monday- or Tuesday depending on how things go this weekend.
Have a good one! :)

4 weeks...
We collected Alice's ashes this week. A little urn in a little velvet box.
I wonder who makes these little urns? And the little white coffins?
I know people who had lost babies during their pregnancy and I know people who have lost their newborn babies. What I didn't know was that there are so many people who have lost babies. Work colleagues, friends of friends, friends of people I have recently met and a frightening number of women who I have found on blogs and websites all over the world.
I wonder how many women that I pass in the street carry this sadness inside? How women have this hole that they can never fill?
I guess it is a lot more than I could ever imagine.

Hi Rachael. Just sending some love your way today. Take care of yourself. Hug your family.
I was having a similar thought, recently, to what you are writing about today. I was thinking of all the pioneer women who came before us and who lived with the reality of some or one of their children dying of communicable illnesses or other things. . . different, I know, but also very painful realities for those ladies.

You are so right. It's something that no one talks about because it is so personal. When I miscarried, I found out that all of my husband's siblings had miscarried, his mother had miscarried three times, my boss had miscarried once, that two of my aunts had miscarried and that my great grandmother had miscarried 7 times (had six children). I think what was most surprising was learning that the person I had worked next to for the last five years had miscarried three times and I had never known (she went on to have two beautiful girls). You're right, a lot of people are walking around w/ memories of their angels...

There are many in the club and many who walk around with an angel tucked in their heart.
I also wondered who made the little coffins. How do you do that without thinking about who they are made for? It seems so wrong in the natural order of things.

I was thinking of you today.
It's so true, so many people have lost little ones, I didn't realise either until I had a miscarriage, and around a similar time I read Dooce and she had a very similar experience to me.. I think it helped me heal having that shared experience - even though I didn't know her. Just to know I wasn't the only one to feel such a loss.

Sending you some love also.
My Mum carried her 1st baby for a full 9 months without any complications, then he died on the way out, it was the umbilical cord, and they just made her keep pushing. She went on to have the 3 of us in 3 years. When I was old enough to know, she told me about it, I often used to wonder if we would be here had that not happened, who knows?
I know there isn't anything anyone can say, but I'm so glad you are able to talk and blog about about it, it's a healing thing.

who makes the coffins.
Too sad.
I never knew either how many parents / brothers and sisters (and significant others) say goodbye too soon to precious little babies.

Special Edition
We will be covering these unique and very rare photos every day for the next ten weeks or so. That's right ten weeks. We will post a photo every day, Monday through Friday. We'll start things off with the photos of the cover and title page then dig into the actual photos themselves.
The UFO Team was shocked to find this miniature photo album stashed away by our purveyor of goods. On his recent trip to the Western Warehouses, our Procurement Officer was able to secure this ancient relic.
This photo album appears to be leather bound and has a dark and heavy grain. The front cover is embossed with a black geometric pattern that looks like scroll or lattice-work. Due to the heavy wear and tear, the binding is currently held in place by scotch tape. The rear of the album is plain and only has a slightly raised border. Holding the covers together is a brass clasp. The inside cover page appears to have some gold leafing and is intricately scripted and decorated.
Unique Marks:
Inside Cover Page - "The Photographir Album" [yes, it is spelled with an "r" on the end]
Unknown, but likely once owned by Olava Hanson.
- Numerous facts were gathered from the private Richard Family Estate collection. These facts span numerous sources of information and contain genealogical data, photos, and newspaper articles.

"Every Performer is both a Soloist and Ensemble Member."
Mo Brady
Company XIV artistic director Austin McCormick gives us an inside look at the company's seasonal smash-hit Nutcracker Rouge, and how the company works together as an ensemble to create the one-of-a-kind theatrical experience.
Company XIV is comprised of a seriously multitalented and unique group of performers. We combine circus, ballet, burlesque, drag and song to make one of a kind theatrical events that blend theater and nightlife. Our signature style is to expose our dressing rooms and "offstage" areas allowing audiences to see us dress and undress, pull curtains, light our fellow castmates with spotlights and help each other with quick costume changes.
The most beautiful part of XIV is that every performer is both a soloist and a true ensemble member- no divas allowed. We love and support eachother on and off stage and truly enjoy contributing energy and whatever is needed to help our fellow cast perform at their best. Our cast even seats our guests as they arrive and opens Champagne bottles for VIP couches. Our goal is to make the audience feel like they've stepped into our world- we're there to entertain and serve in every way! Ooh la la.
When I am conceiving and choreographing our productions I am tremendously inspired by the performers and their particular skill sets. For example our most recent show, Nutcracker Rouge features Tilly Evans-Kreuger who I originally hired as a dancer and then learned is a figure skater. We created an act where she ice skates onstage! Marcy Richardson our resident soprano and aerialist is incredibly versatile and skilled singing opera while suspended in an aerial hoop in a sea of glitter. Not to mention tap dancers and aerialists Nick and Ross Katen who are identical twins and able to seamlessly maneuver many genres of performance. Nutcracker Rouge changes every year and part of the fun for me is in adapting and altering the show to feature and highlight the XIV beauties!

I had such fun talking with them and learning more about them and their relationship. I was so excited when they said they would like to do their session around our land.... it helps to know exactly when the light is going to be just perfect at a certain spot, and we definitely got to use the gorgeous light. I know Chelsea and Joel's wedding day is going to be great fun as well!

Meditating with Essential Oils: Classes
Gone, far beyond where wisdom is, we align and rise.
a highly creative process!
it is vibrant, alive and deeply peaceful at the same time. it is a place where our senses and consciousness heighten and we can experience ourselves and the world around us from a place of love and beauty. it is a place of wisdom and insight, healing and connection.
i have been using essential oils in my personal meditation practice for a couple of years and feel excited to finally have created a framework in which i can share them in the classes. having taught meditation for over 15 years and working one to one with clients and organisations, i can confidentially assure you that they are adding massive value - physically, emotionally and spiritually.
1. inhaling aromatic compounds connect you via the olfactory bulb straight to your "emotional brain" and can help you enter desired states of consciousness and emotions.
2. you can "anchor" or "learn to associate" scents with certain states of being. so if you meditate with a favorite oil and use it outside meditation you can draw upon those connections and let your mind, body ad spirit be taken into a peaceful and balanced state.
3. by using pure essential oils you will deepen your connection to nature and all the gifts she holds for you.
What to expect in my classes?
I use guided visualization journeys to connect you with your most beautiful and loving self. They vary every week and come from an intuitive, sacred space of love which I enter when meditating. The images brought forward are guided and aligned with the consciousness and desires of the group and are therefore unique every time. within each journey you will follow a pattern, a sacred flow of anchoring, aligning and rising . you will learn. ;
1. How to anchor yourself, your dreams and desires.
2. How to align all that you are, through time and space so you can live your truth, who you came here to be.
3. How to rise and live your truth, feeling your beautiful unique self whilst being connected to creation and all that is.
Location: Rode Chapel
Time: 8pm to 9.30pm
We have warm and welcoming circles every Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. All classes are unique, guided journeys helping you find your gift and align with your purpose whilst deeply relaxing and recharging your nervous system.
Every Thursday morning
Location: Woolley Grange Hotel, Bradford on Avon
Time: 9:45am to 10.45am
Have you ever meditated in a yurt? It's magical- so close to nature, we can hear the birds sing and watch the clouds pass by. No experience necessary and people from all walks of life are welcome. We use guided visualisation and relaxation techniques to de-stress, anchor and align with the beauty of this moment and our gifts. Julia has led meditation circles for over 15 years using her experience as a Hypnotherapist and intuitive insights to make each journey unique and aligned with the group. Essential oils will support and enhance your experiences of letting go and connecting to yourself and nature.
- Wear comfortable and warm clothes.

Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. Suspension systems serve a dual purpose — contributing to the vehicle's road handling and braking for good active safety and driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road noise, bumps, and vibrations, etc. There are many components related to the suspension of a vehicle it's important to have the vehicle diagnoses prior to repairing or replacing worn out suspension components.
• Suspension cost varies depending on year, make and model and the component needed to fix the drivability issue.

Holiday Safety Tips
No one ever wants a surprise trip to the doctors or hospital, but this is especially true during the holiday season. Below we have compiled some tips and rules to keep you, your family and your home safe this holiday season.
Hosting and Food Safety
- When preparing a holiday meal for friends and family be sure to wash hands, utensils, sink and anything else that has come in contact with raw poultry. Keep in mind that a stuffed bird takes longer to cook.
- Never defrost food at room temperature. Thaw it in the refrigerator, in cold water or in the microwave.
- While doing holiday cooking, keep your knives sharp. Most knife injuries occur due to dull blades.
- Use a clean food thermometer to cook foods to a safe internal temperature before serving.
-Avoid cleaning kitchen surfaces with wet dishcloths or sponges. They easily harbor bacteria and promote bacteria growth. Use clean paper towels instead.
-When reheating leftovers, bring the temperature up to at least 165 degrees to eliminate any bacterial growth.
-Refrigerate or freeze leftovers in covered shallow containers (less than two inches deep) within two hours after cooking. Date the leftovers for future use.
-Being a smart party host or guest should include being sensible about alcoholic drinks. More than half of all traffic fatalities are alcohol-related. Use designated drivers, people who do not drink, to drive other guests home after a holiday party.
-The holiday season is one of the most stressful times of the year. You can't avoid stress completely, but you can give yourself some relief. Allow enough time to shop for gifts and meal items rather than hurry through stores and parking lots. Only plan to do a reasonable number of errands.
Decorating Safety
-If you are using a natural tree, be sure to keep it well watered to avoid dry branches from catching fire from the heat of light bulbs.
-When displaying outdoor lights, fasten them firmly to a secure support with insulated staples or hooks to avoid wind damage. Never nail, tack or stress wiring when hanging lights and keep plugs off the ground and away from puddles and snow.
-Turn off all lights on trees and decorations when you go to bed or leave the house. Unplug extension cords when not in use.
-Use no more than three light sets on any one extension cord. Extension cords should be placed against the wall to avoid tripping hazards, but do not run cords under rugs, around furniture legs or across doorways.
-If you use an artificial tree, choose one that is tested and labeled as fire resistant. Artificial trees with built-in electrical systems should have the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) label.
- Use only indoor lights indoors (and outdoor lights only outdoors). Look for the UL label on these too. Check lights for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, and loose connections. Replace or repair any damaged light sets.
-Stand your tree away from fireplaces, radiators and other heat sources. Make sure the tree does not block foot traffic or doorways.
-Avoid placing breakable tree ornaments or ones with small, detachable parts on lower branches where small children or pets can reach them.
-When displaying a tree, cut off about two inches off the trunk and put the tree in a sturdy, water-holding stand. Keep the stand filled with water so the tree does not dry out quickly.
-Never use lighted candles near trees, boughs, curtains/drapes, or with any potentially flammable item.
-When spraying artificial snow on windows or other surfaces, be sure to follow directions carefully. These sprays can irritate your lungs if you inhale them.
-Small children may think that holiday plants look good enough to eat, but many plants may be poisonous or can cause severe stomach problems. Plants to watch out for include, mistletoe, holly berries, Jerusalem cherry and amaryllis. Keep all of these plants out of children's reach.
Ladder Safety
-Don't stand on chairs, tables or other furniture to put up your holiday decorations. Always use the proper step stool or ladder to reach high places.
-If you have to use a step stool or ladder near a doorway, be sure to lock or barricade the door so nobody comes through and knocks you down.
-A straight or extension ladder should be placed 1 foot away from the wall is rests against for every 4 feet of vertical height.
-Always climb facing the ladder and grab the rungs, not the side rails.
-Always keep at least three points of contact with the ladder; either two feet and a hand or two hands and a foot.
-Use ladders with slip-resistant feet and always wear clean, dry and slip-resistant shoes when climbing.
-When on a ladder, never overreach or lean out too far. A good rule of thumb is to keep your hips between the side rails. If the work is too far away, climb down the ladder and move it closer to the work.
-When using ladders outdoors, get down immediately if high winds, rain, snow or other inclement weather begins. Winds can blow you off the ladder and rain or snow can make both the rungs and the ground slippery.
Winter Vehicle Preparation
-Be prepared for emergency situations on the road by having a winter "survival kit' in the vehicle including items such as, a working flashlight, extra batteries, reflective triangles, compass, first aid kit, exterior windshield cleaner, ice scraper, snow brush, wooden stick matches in a water proof container, and non-perishable, high energy foods like unsalted canned nuts, dried fruits and hard candy.
-Prepare your car for winter by checking items such as the brakes, spark plugs, battery and tires. You can always check your owner's manual for the recommended interval for tune ups.

Walt Disney Sells $800 Million of Two-Year Floating-Rate Notes
Walt Disney Co., the world's largest entertainment company, raised $800 million with its first sale of floating-rate debt in almost five years. The company initially planned an offering of $500 million.
Disney sold two-year notes that yield one basis point less than the three-month London interbank offered rate, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The securities are rated A2 by Moody's Investors Service and A at Standard & Poor's, the data show.
Three-month, dollar-denominated Libor, which was fixed today at 0.29 percent, is the rate at which banks say they can borrow from each other.
Disney last sold floaters in April 2008, issuing 9.5 billion yen ($93.3 million) of three-year debentures that have since matured, according to Bloomberg data.
Credit Suisse Group AG, Mizuho Financial Group Inc. and Royal Bank of Canada managed the offering for the Burbank, California-based company, Bloomberg data show.
The company last sold debt in November, raising $3 billion in a four-part offering, Bloomberg data show.
