When Everything But Your Product Is Crap
The ecosystem of B2B sales message, especially its delivery, presents an inability for the original product seller to understand that they can lose the sale. Not because their product is bad, but because they don't know really who they are selling to. The absolute worst scenario for an original product
Driving Up The Price
Demand drives up a price like nothing else. If you have demand, people will pay more for it. You only get demand by cultivating it. By making sure that people want it more than anything else. Notice how retail is always previewing the next item that is about to go
What Is Your Price?
Pricing is always an interesting discussion. People tend to use price as a benefit. That typically means a discount. But what is the price of something, truly, if its only to be discounted if no one buys it? Does your price exist only because that is what your competitors charge

Across the window, there's …no coconut tree, but another window, of the adjacent house. Stand on the balcony and all you see is a concrete jungle. Hey Citywallah, want to change that Fateline you think has been permanently etched on your head, to stand mute witness to the smog, garbage stink and someone else's garden? Where there is a Vegetable & Fruit Promotion Council, Keralam (VFPCK), there's a way. Ask Rose Mary, Deputy Manager, VFPCK and she says, "Have a terrace? Then a vegetable garden is yours for the asking." How?
Pots at your doorstep
"For a moderate sum of Rs. 3,750, we supply 30 average sized pots, planted with vegetable seedlings and also give you technical guidance on how to maintain the garden on your terrace," she says. These potted plants will be brought to your doorstep, if you live in or around the city. If you want just a few pots, you can buy it from the VFPCK office at Kakkanad, near the Doordarshan Kendra. (for more details, see www.vfpck.org or Ph: 0484-2427455, mob: 9633040030) Pots filled with manure, earth and sand in the right proportion, costs Rs. 125 each.
Most of the common vegetable seedlings are available: Beans, pea, lady's finger, bitter gourd, pumpkin, chilli, snake gourd, ridge gourd, cucumber, ash gourd, different kinds of spinach and the common 'koval'. Only cuttings from a good mother plant will give you good 'kovakka', says Rose Mary.
Explains N.Vijayan, Director and CEO, VFPCK, "Right now, this project, called Harithanagari, is limited to the corporation area, but we have plans to expand it to all the districts in the State. We are thinking of involving the residents' associations in this scheme so that all those who want to try this can," he says. The project's other aim is to promote organic farming this way. Even the pesticides are organic. (See box)
These terrace gardens do well because the plants get direct sunlight and during the rains, the plants don't decay, as the terrace does not get soggy. More than 300 people, mostly housewives, are into vegetable gardening on the terraces and the little space available around their houses in the corporation area.
The VFPCK advocates organic farming and guides you, should you need technical help in setting up compost pits. "We advice only organic pesticides," Rose Mary says. The plants in the office complex are a fine example of the result of organic farming, she adds. There is a compost pit divided into different sections. All the weeds and wild growth on the plot go into making compost.
Flowers of the fennel plants on the office terrace attract bees and so there is a small apiary on the terrace itself, something that anyone can emulate, anywhere.
On Prassanna's terrace harvest an ash gourd, if you please! Yes, she has been cultivating a terrace garden for a few years now. "It's a joy and the kids don't like vegetables bought from the market now. I've been growing all kinds of vegetables for the last three years. Well, there are tomatoes, brinjal, all kinds of gourds, chilli," Prassanna, a housewife, goes on. She has harvested baskets full of koorkka from the pots on her terrace. (Reminds you of the scenes in 'Achuvinte Amma' where the thrifty mother buys lots of koorkka much to the chagrin of the daughter who does not like it) . And wait…it sounds incredible but you can even grow carrots, cauliflower and beetroot in the winter months, should you fancy it.
Terrace farming
B. K. Nair, retired engineer from the Central PWD says it's true, for he has done it. "When I built my house, I made sure the terrace had a slight slope towards one end, so that water drained off quickly. For three years, Nair also, like Prassanna, has been farming on his terrace, with help from the VFPCK, Kakkanad.
"I harvest, on an average one to one-and-a-half kilos of vegetables from my terrace garden. He has pots and also sacks filled with sand mud and compost which he uses to grow the vegetables. "The taste of organic vegetables is really different," remarks Nair.
Keep heat off
Instead of that ungainly aluminium roof over the terrace, a vegetable garden can help keep the heat off the summer sun. What joy to see the plants grow and how much more joy to eat what you have grown, your very own organic vegetables.

Liebling drops bid for Minnesota governor
Tina Liebling says she is ending her campaign for Minnesota governor, and will instead seek her party's endorsement for her legislative seat.
She released the following statement Monday morning:
"I launched my campaign for governor last year because I believe Minnesotans are looking for bold leadership that recognizes how poorly the economy is working for ordinary Minnesotans. With our nation experiencing an unprecedented concentration of wealth and power, Minnesota needs leaders to offer and fight for bold solutions, so everyone can have a future to believe in.
While our message has reached many people and we have received tremendous encouragement and support, it is clear that we cannot succeed in the DFL endorsement process. I am suspending my campaign for governor."
Liebling's exit from the race leaves three DFLers vying for the job being vacated by Gov. Mark Dayton, who is not seeking re-election in 2018: U.S Rep. Tim Walz, State Rep. Erin Murphy and State Auditor Rebecca Otto. On the Republican side, Jeff Johnson remains the frontrunner while former Gov. Tim Pawlenty mulls a potential bid.
Liebling, a progressive Democrat who supported Bernie Sanders for president in 2016, was first elected in 2004 and is currently serving her seventh term in the Minnesota House.
Minnesota's DFL party will hold its 2018 state convention on June 1-3 at Rochester's Mayo Civic Center. DFL delegates will vote to endorse the party's candidates for the next governor and lieutenant governor, as well as secretary of state, state auditor and attorney general.

"This is a rebound thing, isn't it?"
She said it with a small smile, as if to say, 'I think you're just using me, but it's okay.' Maybe you shouldn't have told her about -
"No," you said calmly, as you shrugged out of your bra. "I'm over Sam. And Josh - he's moved on, and so have I."
And that was the end of that. Warm skin and soft sheets and there wasn't time to think. (You didn't want to, anyway.) You used her moans as a guide, charting a path from her mouth to her collarbone to her breasts; she was wearing some sort of overpowering perfume, and it almost distracted you when you took a firm nipple in your mouth. She mentioned something about a vibrator in a drawer as you planted a line of kisses down her stomach, but you ignored her. Her moans grew louder, directing you to do that harder, stay right there, and then they dissolved into incoherent grunts. You gripped her thighs tightly as she came.
Then it was your turn, and she retrieved her vibrator from the nightstand. You came quickly when she pressed the tip against your clit, but she didn't stop, teasing you with it until you climaxed again. Small kisses on your shoulder, and she offered to get you a drink.
It was warm, even with the ice in the glass, and you weren't quite sure what it was. All you knew was that it was strong and slightly bitter, and it loosened you up enough for you to ask -
"Am I some rebound thing?"
She dipped her finger in her own glass, painting some random pattern on your skin with the alcohol. "You're the third person this month to imply that I'm using them. Should I be offended?"
"You asked me first."
She seemed to concede to your assertion, licking up the mess she had made. "Sorry," she murmured into your stomach.
But she hadn't answered your question, and just as you were contemplating mentioning this, she lifted her head.
"Martin thought I was using him to get back at Jack. Jack thought I was using him to make Martin jealous. You think I'm using you to get over being dumped by both of them."
You didn't pursue it, if only because you didn't want her accusing you (again) of using her to get over Sam's leaving and Josh's willful obliviousness.
"I've had a bit of a crush on you since the first time I saw you," she said. You smiled, brushing a strand of hair out of her face.
"Yeah, sure. Me standing in the pouring rain, struggling with a broken umbrella."
"You looked gorgeous." She took your drink out of your hand, dribbling a bit of the (now cold) liquid on your breasts. "Admittedly, not quite as gorgeous as you look now...."
You took back your drink, setting it aside, and then you flipped her over. She pressed the vibrator into your hand; it was still slippery from what she had done to you.
"I don't use people," she whispered. You didn't really care at that point.

Four out of five Spud Valley residents agree — the Pemberton Music Festival was a good thing for the community.
That's according to the Village of Pemberton's Locals Survey, the results of which were presented to council during its meeting on Tuesday night, Sept. 2.
The survey, which was hosted online between July 23 and Aug. 29, garnered more than 220 responses, and 83 per cent of the surveys returned indicated an "excellent" or "good" overall perception of the revived festival. Although dozens of responses came from individuals living in the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District and Lil'wat Nation, nearly two-thirds of the survey respondents identified as Village of Pemberton residents, enough to be considered a representative sample, according to a staff report.
"After reading all of the comments, it looks as though the community sees its potential and are keen to work with (event producers HUKA Entertainment) to realize success for Pemberton residents, businesses and the festival," communications coordinator Jill Brooksbank said while presenting the results.
Council members said the survey results weren't far off what they've been hearing anecdotally around town since the festival.
"I'd say that's pretty accurate. I think the general feeling has been quite positive," said acting mayor Mike Richman. "Overall, the community was pleased with the way the event went off."
Among some other highlights from the survey results, 79 per cent of those responding said there was adequate outreach and pre-event information available about the festival, while 94 per cent said they had no issues accessing municipal services when the event was taking place July 17 to 20. Other comments received through the surveys suggested that residents were much more satisfied with traffic management and site clean-up compared to the previous festival in 2008.
However, not all feedback was positive. Some business owners have commented that they did not receive much in the way of increased business during the festival weekend as hoped. A report from the Pemberton Chamber of Commerce detailing its members' feedback surrounding the event is expected to be finalized by the end of the month and shared with the village.
Brooksbank noted that a common theme amongst complaints received through the village's survey came from Pemberton Plateau, with overcrowded parking and noise issues being the main issues. Plateau resident Margaret Riley, whose letter detailing her displeasure with noise levels before, during and after the festival was part of Tuesday's agenda package, also appeared at the meeting to voice her concerns to council directly.
"I could see the festival from my back deck. I didn't have to attend it; it attended me," said Riley. "The noise was horrendous... I don't know how you expect people to live like that."
All feedback received by the village will be forwarded to HUKA Entertainment for review.
Members of village staff indicated that they have remained in contact with HUKA officials almost daily since the end of the festival, and added that a debriefing with company representatives and other stakeholder agencies will hopefully take place before the end of the month.
Tuesday's meeting, the first since July, saw some notable changes among senior staff members at the council table.
Former chief administrative officer Daniel Sailland left his position last month to take on a similar role in Qualicum Beach. Manager of administrative services Sheena Fraser will remain as acting CAO until Sailland's replacement is hired.
Tuesday's meeting was also the last one with Caroline Lamont as manager of development services. She has accepted a new Squamish-based position in the private sector.
Richman noted that the search for candidates to replace Sailland and Lamont remains ongoing, though he could not provide any further details.

Got to show Megan the homeland go Geneva and the college stomping grounds in and around Ithaca and Watkins Glen. Introductions to aging—albeit still cute—dogs. Murphy won a fan. A first time trip to the 1000 Islands in Clayton, NY to experience a dear friend getting married amongst other dear friends. Laughs and meals shared with family. A welcome respite before the deluge of festivals and events with Jam in the Van throughout September and October. Not as many thunderstorms as we would've liked. Some pictures below.
Telluride Jazz Festival 2018 with Jam in the Van
Drove a 15-person passenger van from LA to Telluride and back, herded some proverbial cats in and out each day, stopped at Twin Arrows Navajo Casino (won some mulah, may or may not have gotten addicted to Roulette) twice, took a gondola to work each day, heard some jazz, had a lot of free cocktails, etc.
A very nice trip with a good group--well taken care of by the festival folks and the lodging was gorgeous. Piled in some massive bands into the van, complete with brass sections and wacky percussion and the various student bands really shined...JAZZ IN THE VAN, BABY!
Here are some of the snaps commuting to and from the festival site via gondola, the festival grounds and simply walking around town.
Sojourn to Arcosanti with Tastes of Sedona Spirituality and Desert Hot Springs Relaxation
Recently took a trip with Megan to visit her friend Jona--welder/hostess extraordinaire--at Arcosanti in Arizona. It was a devilish trip in terms of temperature (with my car's AC compressor biting the dust as evidence, but shout outs to Dean's Auto Repair in Phoenix for a day-of fix) but boy was it nice to taste and feel the heat, a mere mortal humbled. We had a great time despite the car setback and the "arcology" of Arcosanti, Paolo Soleri's passion project, was truly inspiring: with domed ceilings and fluid block construction with elements of sci-fi spirituality providing lush backdrops for the pervasive golden light. Definitely worth a visit. Sedona was an hour-away day trip and the options for hiking, vortex cleansing, crystal shops and thrift boutiques were impressive. Highly recommend Chocolatree for lunch or vegan-sweet-treat delighties!
Stopping at The Spring in Desert Hot Springs for an afternoon soak in their myriad of pools and then Rooster and the Pig for dinner in Palm Springs capped off our trip on Sunday.
Some of my favorite photos below, shot on my FujiFilm X-T2 and Polaroid OneStep 2.
The Mosaics New Single: "High or Low"
#TBT to last week...
Had the pleasure of photographing good buds The Mosaics in the days preceding their big show at The Troubadour in West Hollywood on 8/19 and the release of their new music video for the hot summer single "High or Low." The video/song have been getting some cool press!
It premiered on the Huffington Post! Watch it here: http://bit.ly/2wBXOYc
Below are some of my favorite selects from the shoot...
Sheltered and Expressive
Trying to be open and proactive vs. familiar and routine. Want to do more but the constraints of financial responsibilities and costs are draining. Exploring the edge while walking the edge. A tough act to balance, but I think it comes down to prioritizing and simplifying.
Faces of: JITV @ The 27th Annual High Sierra Music Festival
Trials and tribulations. "Pits and Peaks". BuzzBoxes and Beers. Supporters and antagonists. Ween and Tank. Terrapins and Crossroads.
High Sierra (+ Terrapin Crossroads) proved to be a long week full of sweat, laughter, beer and even some tears (from laughter). Everyone worked hard and we survived 5 nights of camping a mere 60 feet away from the Jam Van amidst 10,000+ hippies, wooks, tots, tykes, vendors and outdoor folks.
My favorite line of the week came courtesy of a grizzled Quincy local, chirping to the gas station attendant as I was purchasing ice that "...and by tomorrow, they'll all be gone and I'll have my cell service back!"
Here are some Fuji X-T2 pix of JITV's many fans: thanks for coming out to hang with us everyone!
Faces of: JITV @ Monterey Pop 50th Anniversary
Had a nice weekend in Monterey, California with happy families, nostalgic couples, buzzy colleagues and beautiful sunshine with a touch of heartbreak.
My grandmother--Pop Pop Jane--passed away on Friday and my mother called me mere minutes after Charles Bradley's set concluded, at which he proclaimed that his battles with cancer and chemo would never stop him from spreading love out into the world. I weeped silently against a wooden fence, as my recently purchased Lamb Curry cooled on the service counter. I could picture my mother and aunt at her bedside, as summery wafts from the lilac bush blew into her room through the open window. She went peacefully. A sporty red (PPJ's go-to car color) hearse came and it was deemed fitting. I saw a group of butterflies fluttering underneath a tree later on in the day and I couldn't help but think they carried her spirit with them. She was always partial to butterflies and birds and presumably, most winged creatures. She was a stand-up lady, quick to laugh and make others laugh too.
The loving community and quality musicianship at the festival, along with the support of my colleagues (thanks for the otter shirt from the aquarium, y'all!), helped me get through the weekend with a smile, of which I am more comfortable wearing than bearing an overarching sadness. I'll always cherish the memories I have with PPJ, and they flooded back ten fold this weekend as I processed this life change amidst smiling families, music-loving couples and friendly artists.
Fresh Air Amidst Despicable History
Hiked to Murphy Ranch with Megan on Sunday to breathe in the fresh air amidst the high-end homes of the Pacific Palisades, before descending (and eventually ascending) over 500 stairs to the fabled ruins, where--during the 1940s--Nazi sympathizers hoped to create an American stronghold, only to have their dreams deferred as history played out. Graffiti now covers the service road leading to the stairs, and covers the ruins below in the forest. We saw "Fuck Trump" sprayed out countless times; it is eerie how history repeats itself and hatred for others comes to the forefront of politics...But this hike to this haunting place proved to be very beautiful and I take solace in knowing both nature and common decency eventually overcome hatred of all types, across all times...
Here are some FujiFilm X-T2 shots:
Memorial Day Weekend Creatures
long dreamy weekend filled with jittery critter antics, quality eats and good friends
Buckhorn is one of my favorite campgrounds, located off Route 2 in the Angeles National Forest. The memories I make each time I go are some of my most cherished. It is a profound place for reflection and relaxation.
#SceneReport TGIF 05.19.17
As I peddle back from yoga, I stop at an intersection's red light. A small elderly woman clutching a plastic water bottle waits to cross in front of me at the sidewalk's edge. Adjacent, a group of yellow-vested construction workers jackhammer away under a sun that is already hot at 9:36AM. Pond's "30,000 Megatons" plays in my earbuds. Sometimes I wonder if we are inching closer to a time in history where the term "megatons" might be seen in the news with increasing frequency. The crosswalk turns green and the woman shuffles out into the road, meeting a homeless man carrying his wares at the halfway point. She deftly hands the water bottle to the homeless man in one fluid motion and they exchange the subtlest of nods and smiles without breaking stride. The light turns green, the men jackhammer away, and I peddle on into a Friday that will surely be a good day.
A "Museum" of Ice Cream and a Field of "Dreams"
Visited the Museum of Ice Cream in DTLA on Sunday and it was a short but sugar-filled trip through several rooms with modern sculptures built in the name of ice cream. More Instagram frenzy than a history lesson, but it was a technicolored treat (with actual ice cream treats on hand) enjoyed on a breezy Sunday. Yesterday, I helped Jay Diaz and Jack from JITV shoot a new music video for Honey County, one of the acts that Jam in the Van manages. We ended the day at Golden Hour in a nondescript but nonetheless beautiful field in Agoura Hills. Here are some pix: a mixture of iPhone Hipstamatics and FujiFilm X-T2 shots.
Loud and Quiet
From the country-fried, dusty polo fields of Stagecoach in Indio to a quiet picnic table at the back of an alley at Boomtown Brewery, here I am.
A Mighty Wind
A mighty wind caused the overgrown palm tree leaves to beat wildly against her window all night long, the rancor of it all unrelenting. We tried to think of gentler times.
Coachella Weekend Candids
Mammoth Weekend
I scraped snow off my car with a frisbee this weekend.
Ate too many gummies today and my stomach aches.
Fleeting Moments Observed During Movement
Yesterday, I saw a large woman gesticulating a gun fight with her hands to her bemused friend. They were standing next to a strip mall lock'n'key kiosk and it was the golden hour. She was demonstrating in shocking detail what appeared to me from my vehicle, a victim getting shot in the face with either a bullet or an arrow from a bow. I surmised that the victim's brains were blown out. Her friend nodded solemnly. She was very good at telling her story and I was intrigued but then the light turned green and I drove off.
Today, as I biked home against punishing winds, pedaling steadily and passing beneath an overpass, I saw a homeless man standing one foot away from the cement wall, facing it sternly, mere meters from his own bicycle and pitched tent. He was curling a bowling ball for exercise. Was the bowling ball a prized possession, one he was willing to schlep around with his other belongings? Or did he stumble upon it recently, identifying it as a perfect curling weight? I pedaled on and the temperature dipped with the sunset.
I wish I had taken photos of these moments.
Chinatown Revelation
Yesterday, I found out I was born with one kidney. I hope I don't get punched where I am not whole.
Framed on the Side of the Road
One of the first Fujifilm photos taken. During the descent, snowy peaks gave way to dryland shrubs and the colors of the California Gradient that I love so dearly.

Baked Olive, Artichoke and Lemon Chicken
Who doesn't love a solid chicken dish? This baked olive, artichoke and lemon chicken is layered with flavor. Browned and braised with briny olives and spices. I completed this meal with a quick but flavorful side of white wine sautéed mushrooms over rice. This is what happens when I improvise! Having staples in your pantry that are ready to go allow you to make masterpieces on the fly is crucial. Which is why I'm happy to continue to spread the word with Cans Get You Cooking.
You will always find cans of chicken stock, and tomatoes in my pantry. I also love to keep olives on hand for sauces and salads. The artichokes and mushrooms are great to marinate or add to a side dish. What are some of your pantry staples?
Baked Olive, Artichoke, and Lemon Chicken
2 lbs chicken thighs bone in, skin on, trimmed of extra fat
1 Tbsp kosher salt, divided
1/2 Tbsp pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
1 yellow onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 c white wine dry
2 14.5 oz cans chicken broth
1 Tbsp lemon zest
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 14oz can artichokes, drained
1 8 oz can manzilla olives or green pitted olives, juice reserved
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Pat the chicken dry and season salt, pepper, onion, and garlic powder. Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, working in batches if necessary, and cook until well browned on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Decrease the heat to medium. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until soft and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Season with 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, cumin and stir.
Add the white wine to the pot to deglaze, scraping up any of the brown bits. Let the wine simmer and reduce to about half.
Stir in chicken broth, artichokes, olives and lemon juice. Return the chicken to the pot
Place the lid on the pot and put it in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
After 20-25 minutes remove the pot from the oven. Add the lemon zest, olive juice, red pepper flakes, and stir gently. Uncover, place back in the oven for 8-10 minutes longer.
Remove from the oven and serve chicken with sauce, artichoke pieces and olives spooned over.

for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.'
—Matthew 19:14
Our Mission
We believe that children are the church. As such, they participate in all aspects of our mission at Church of the Apostles, in their own unique and fun way, while in a safe and nurturing environment:
… We teach God's word through Bible stories and memorization. And, in partnering with parents, they are encouraged to apply it to their daily living — embracing for themselves the Gospel message of salvation.
… They inherit the rich heritage of Anglican faith and worship by attending the latter part of the worship service and experiencing a blessing (or in taking communion themselves), by learning about liturgy, and being prompted towards sacramental living.
… We help them proclaim the good news of Jesus to others through service, giving, and prayer.
Our Classes
- Nursery (Birth - 3 years): Each Sunday our infants and toddlers are cared for by our loving volunteers in a safe environment where they can learn about God through play, stories and prayer. Nursery is available from the start of service, and parents pick up at the Peace.
- Preschool/Kindergarten (4 years - K): Our preschoolers and kindergarteners will begin building a firm foundation of faith as they walk through the Old and New Testaments learning about our great God. This class is available from the start of the service and parents pick up at the Peace.
- Kid's Church (1st-6th grade): After a time of worship with their families, our oldest students separate into two classes (1st-3rd and 4th-6th) where they hear an age-appropriate, Bible-based, gospel-centered message during the school year. During the summer, these students attend the worship service, where there will be a brief kids' sermon and children's bulletins to keep them interested and involved.
Our Curriculum
- Both the preschool/K and the grades 1-6 classes are using The Gospel Project, which takes kids on a Christ-centered, chronological journey through Scripture. Our kids will discover how the gospel unfolds from Genesis through Revelation.
The Gospel Project for Kids teaches kids to:
- See the Big Story: Kids will understand that the Bible is not a collection of stories, but God's unified story of redemption.
- Read Scripture as Christ-centered: The Leader Guide and Activity Pages provide a deep, Christ-centered Bible study experience for all ages.
- Grasp Essential Christian Doctrines: The Big Picture Questions and Answers are designed to help kids understand essential theological doctrines of the Christian faith.
- Study the Old and New Testaments: Kids spend equal time in the Old and New Testaments, learning the key distinctions of each and how they fit together.
Our Teachers
Being a teacher at Apostles goes beyond childcare. It is a great honor and privilege to teach the kids about our amazing God each Sunday. All teachers must go through an application process, background check, and safety training.

Parent Port - A Lifeline for Families with Preschoolers
There's nothing like those early days when your baby is born. Every moment is precious and it is a real bonding time as you get to know a brand new little family member. It can also be a really challenging time, getting through the week isn't easy when you aren't even sure what day of the week it is. New parents are also often isolated and need emotional support as they adjust to a whole new way of life. Parent Port North was first established by Homebuilders in 1997 to help parents and caregivers get through those first few years. It is a free service that offers practical assistance and support to new parents by helping with childcare, light housework, washing, and cooking. Parent Port's services cover a wide area from Puhoi all the way to Paparoa on south side of the Brenderwyns. They are a not-for-profit community organisation, funded by various community schemes including Foundation North, COGS, Grassroots Auckland Giving, the Lotteries Grant Board and the Sir Logan Campbell Estate.
Co-ordinator Di Julian has been involved with Parent Port for over eight years and organises the funding applications as well as working hands on with families in her area. "What I love about Parent Port is that we are not means tested and we don't have a huge amount of paperwork, so we can help anyone who needs support. All they need to do is call us and we can set everything up for them in a few minutes." All of the Parent Port helpers are police checked and are very experienced. Every family with children under five is entitled to 12 hours of free assistance so if you have to attend appointments, need to shop, or just need a rest, give them a call today.

Mainstream interest in cryptocurrency has brought a plethora of exchanges that offer varying degrees of security, different trading fees, and a wide range of tools for investors.
People heavily steeped in the crypto sphere often have to split their activities between different exchanges, which can be time consuming, difficult and unsafe. Due to the fast paced nature of the crypto market, some essentials, such as customer support and usability have been compromised.
Hoping to remedy this situation is a company called CryptoXchange, which claims to be "the only exchange you will ever need."
As well as providing usability and round the clock support, it also encourages users to stay with the platform through buy back and profit sharing models that allow users to receive dividends for simply holding coins. You don't have to invest millions or be high up in the company to have a stake in CryptoXchange, and the company predicts that this will foster loyalty and stability in the…

Title: Dark Angels: Happy Hanukkah
Author: Z. Allora
Cover Artist: Deana C. Jamroz
Publisher: MLR Press
Buy Link: Amazon
Genre: Contemporary M/M
Length: Novella (36,000 words)
Rating: 2.5 stars out of 5
A Guest Review by jeayci
Review Summary: Fans of this series will probably enjoy this story as an opportunity to spend more time with characters you like, but it didn't really work for me.
Blurb: What do you get when you cross a hot rock and roll band with a bag of sex toys? The Dark Angels: Happy Hanukkah.
What do kinky sex toys and Hanukkah have to do with each other? Absolutely nothing unless you're a member of the famous rock band The Dark Angels and the quiet Robin presents his band members with gifts guaranteed to spice up the holidays! Each couple makes the most of these unique gifts blending love and orgasmic fun to REALLY celebrate the festival of lights. As the band is playing with their toys, Andrew and Zack are still circling each other without resolution. Maybe a present from the fairy keyboard player will get them in the right frame of mind.
Review: I loved the first story in this series, though I had some major issues with it. Since they were issues that could be resolved with better editing, I dove optimistically into the second. That turned out to have the same issues as the first, but they bothered me more. So I skipped the third book, tempted though I was when it came out. Because although I had issues with the editing (and sequel-baiting epilogues), I found the characters and stories appealing. Not everyone can tell a good story, but Z. Allora definitely can. Unfortunately, for me the good story seems to get lost in the bad editing.
But hope springs eternal and Hanukkah stories are not exactly common. So a Hanukkah story featuring appealing characters turned out to be irresistible And that's where I made the real mistake: I expected this to be a Hanukkah story. I think that's not an unreasonable expectation, considering the title. It did start with a Hanukkah party, at which the candles were lighted and the prayer recited. And there were gifts exchanged over eight nights, but that was the extent of the Hanukka-ness. There was nothing to do with being Jewish, or being not-Jewish and celebrating a Jewish holiday.
Given the emphasis on kinky sex toys in the blurb, I wasn't really surprised that this story was basically PWP. Those eight nights were solely about the exchange of kinky gifts and commencing sexytimes, but I was surprised that there wasn't even as minimal a nod to the holiday as lighting the candles after the first night. Similarly, the first sentence explicitly mentions Santa Cruz, which made me think I'd recognize the setting. However, the Bay Area was no more recognizable a part of this story than Hanukkah, so I was doubly disappointed.
I also struggled with the lack of commas. They were so scarce, I actually searched to see if I could find any that were not associated with dialog tags. I found a few; too few. It made it difficult at times to understand what was happening, or who was subject and who was object in a given sentence.
There were also some confusing POV shifts, and Autonomous Body Parts acting without consent or knowledge of the people to whom they were presumably attached. And, as in the first two books I read, there was blatant sequel-baiting and some bizarre word choices that pulled me out of the story as I tried to figure out what was intended. Here are some examples of the sort of things that bothered me:
"The invading cock became more urgent in its entrances and exits."
"Turning he smiled as he ignored the clattering sounds he heard from the supply closet. He had a good mind to let them stumble out right into their mommies lap but he couldn't be that much of an asshole to either of them."
If those snippets don't bother you and you're not looking for a Hanukkah story, you may very well enjoy this one. Especially if you like reading about hot rockers getting kinky with toys (and, really, who doesn't?). So although this story didn't really work for me, I think it could work for others.

Red Rock Classic Awards First USTRC Bob's Custom Team Roping Saddles
When Pete and Kyle Mickelson entered the No. 9 roping at the recent Red Rock Classic in Gallup, New Mexico, they were taking a step away from their typical entry pattern. The father-son duo from Flagstaff, Arizona, was focusing on making fewer, better runs, than more runs, and only entered the No. 9 that day.
"We usually enter up and Kyle said, 'Hey, why don't we just enter the regular 9 and try to make us some runs?'" Pete said. "That deal turned out and we won it. It's pretty special.
After roping four head in 50.03 seconds, Kyle and Pete walked away with two brand new Bob's Custom Saddles—the first two awarded at a USTRC event.
"It's the first US saddle I've won," Kyle said. "It's definitely one of the more meaningful ones. We've been members of the USTRC for quite a while and we've always been trying to go after winning one of those ropings. We've had some success and I've actually won a couple of US ropings, but never one they give away a saddle at. The way this came down, it was the completion of a life-long goal that we've had."
As the new Official Saddle of the USTRC, Bob's Custom Saddles is bringing a newly designed team roping saddle to ropers. Optimal saddle fit for the horse and seat performance for the rider, combined with Bob's Custom Saddles' 42 years of experience gives the USTRC a saddle that ropers will want to ride.
"The USTRC has a lot of good things on the horizon and we're excited to bring our saddle to their ropers," Chris Weaver, Vice President of Bob's Custom Saddles said. "We take pride when people say the first saddle they've ever won is a Bob's. It really means something to the people who win, and it really does something for our brand when they can go out and ride it."
Built by artisan craftsmen with over 30 years experience, the USTRC saddles use only Hermann Oak's premium 13-15 ounce heavy skirting leather, half fiberglass-reinforced, rawhide-covered wood trees and 100 percent wool sheepskin lining. Designed with custom USTRC conchos and a wider deep roper covered wood stirrup, these saddles feature a hand-laid groundseat and hand-stitched cantle and seat, to award riders with a great tool that provides the foundation and fundamentals of a great run.
"We only build saddles one way," Weaver said. "Every saddle we build, we build the same way whether it's going to be an award or being sold to a customer. We do this so our award saddles are ridden."
For the moment, Kyle and his father are savoring their big win and displaying their award saddles in their homes, but they can see the rideability of these saddles.
"We hauled them right inside the house and put them on display, but you know it's one of those things where they look like they would be just dandy to ride," Pete said. "I couldn't be happier to win one and I feel like I could put it on my horse and ride it right now."
The Mickelson's are considering attending the National Finals of Team Roping this fall, but haven't fully committed. Their success at this last event and the potential to win the first-ever National Finals Bob's Custom Saddles is having an impact on the final decision.
"That's kind of been our thing; we do a lot of firsts," Kyle said. "We did the USTRC and the World Series group. When they first started out, we won the first event they had in Arizona. When Walt Eddy told us that those were the first Bob's Custom Saddles, it just seemed like it fit, like that's been our theme."
Over 42 years of craftsmanship at Bob's Custom Saddles has seen countless hours go into building our saddles' unique features that deliver a superior look, fit and quality ride. Bob's Custom Saddles has carried more premier horsemen to World, Futurity and Derby Championships than any other custom saddle maker.
Our superior quality, craftsmanship and performance have made our reining, working cowhorse, silver show, ranch versatility, cutting, roping, barrel racing and trail saddles the preferred choice of premier horsemen from around the world. For more information, visit www.bobscustomsaddles.com.

What is this all about?
Mabinogi is one of those few MMOs that did it right by not following in WoW's footsteps. This private server is a version of that game before Nexon came in and fucked that all up. Here is just some of what this game has to offer:
not tab-target combat
almost RPS-like skills.
<normal attack beats smash
<smash beats defense
<defense laughs at attacks that aren't smash
<counter beats both normal and smash attacks, but is vulnerable to every other offence
comfy exists; amount of "life skills" rivals the amount of "combat skills"
get to play an instrument
get to literally compose the music you play. your ears perk up when you hear someone playing a tune you recognize on a lute/mandolin/ukelele/flute
if you win a fashion contest, you get a statue of you in town square
build campfire, if you are sitting at it, and others are siting around it too, you can share your food with them, LIKE AN ACTUAL PARTY OF ADVENTURERS SHOULD
if you're a skilled chef, your meals give buffs, so sit around that campfire and eat with your bros
The server website is mabinogi.ir
These links contain useful information about this MMO
Some things to be aware of when playing on this server:
The wiki mentions something, but I can't seem to find/do it.
The wiki is up-to-date for the official Mabinogi Servers. This server is very behind in terms of content. The wiki is still largely useful; you get the best information by setting its history date to March 2011, or as close to there as you can get. That will give you proper quest details and skill information, though some esoteric information may differ due to the server version being JP instead of NA. You may want to read the Japanese wiki instead, and there are still some discrepancies from this server having changes made.
which race should I play?
any is fine, including elven scum, but make a human to start out. A human can travel to a leader of the other races for an extra character slot of that race, but you can't get a human character if you start out with a giant or elf. It's useful as a mule if you don't want to play a human.
I want to play melee
Grind out the Windmill skill to Rank 1 before other skills. Skills give Combat Power (CP) as you rank them up, and Windmill requires you to kill with it a lot of mobs with considerably higher CP than you at higher ranks, which means if you rank up too many skills, it'll become next to impossible to rank up Windmill. mabinoger.com
I want to play ranged (not magic)
Instead of grinding out Windmill, it is recommended to grind out Refining to rank 1. At rank 1, Refining gives you tons of Dex, but requires you to fail refining ore to train the higher ranks at a decent pace, and Dex makes you succeed. It's possible to get to rank 1 on nothing but successful refining, but committing sudoku is a more pleasurable experience. Elves are recommended for archery, since they fire two arrows/bolts per normal ranged attack, and have two archery skills unique to them: Mirage Missle, an AoE DoT, and Final Shot, which lets you shoot more rapidly and teleport around during the skill's duration. Humans also have a unique skill to them called Arrow Revolver, which lets them load up 5 arrows/bolts at once. They also aim faster at rank 1 Ranged Attack than elves do.
I want to play magic
It is recommended you start off with melee, at least in part. Mana only regenerates in the evening, when Eweca fills the air, or if you have a skill called Meditate, which slows down your movement to a walk. For that reason, most people just stock up on mana potions, which will eat through your gold, which you won't have much of on a new character. For that reason, you should be able to handle yourself in a fight if you run out of mana, so make sure you can melee your way through. Elves have more mana and int than other races, but are more frail and have weaker melee ability if enemies get too close to cast magic.

Year 6 Staff
Our Year 6 teachers are Mr Dave Edwards (Monday, Tuesday and Friday) and Mrs Ceri Twynam (Wednesday and Thursday).
Our Year 6 Teaching Assistant is Mrs Jill Brook
In Science, we discussed Polar Explorers and some of the challenges they faced. One big problem it's thought they struggled with was scurvy, a potentially deadly illness caused by a lack of vitamin C in a diet.
We decided to test what fruits have the most vitamin C. We used a solution called DCPip as an indicator for vitamin C. We squeezed lime, orange and lemon into a beaker, then we used pipette to drip into a cylinder containing DCPip. After each drop, we shook the solution.
Once the solution went clear, we stopped shaking and recorded our results. We repeated this test 3 times to make sure the test was reliable and the results could be trusted.
Great fun was had by all in this experiment and year 6 learnt alot about how to run a fair test and how analyse results, whilst relating it to real world events.
A big thanks to Sarah, from polar explorers, who ran this session for us!
We have now completed our Anderson Shelters for our Design and Technology.
We are very proud of the final results: it was a very full day of hard work, creativity and, for a few pupils, a false start or two! In the end, we got there and could not be happier with the outcomes!
The design process started some weeks ago, the children started by researching the history of Anderson Shelters in the context of their use during the blitz. They learnt lots about them but, particularly in relation to our Design and Technology, they found out about material and design choices. After that, the children created diagrams that were fully labelled and measured - these allowed them to think ahead about how the final project would look. Finally, after a couple of weeks collecting material, Year 6 built these fabulous shelters.
Well done everyone - great job!
In Year 6, we have been reading and enjoying 'The Giant's Necklace', by Michael Morporgo. We worked as a team to recognise the key events within the story and place them on a chronological timeline that we created.
By understanding how to sequence key events, the structure of a text and chracter actions, we will be able to structure our own short stories, in a similar style!

easy flowers
I am a daisy lover, any kind is a favorite of mine - they are so joyful and remind me of a sunny day. Feverfew is an easy cut flower to come by and is also very long lasting. I found this antique English platter at my local thrift store for two dollars. It's a celebration of spring and I thought it would be great to use for a centerpiece on my kitchen table. I tried bottles with different heights of spring flowers, but it looked too messy, so I simplified with these yogurt cups clustered tightly together. The violas are from six packs I bought at a local nursery, they are a quick shot of color outside in the cold months and look really nice as a cut flower too.
Simple vessels are good to have around, I've gotten so much use out of these yogurt cups!

Anyone who has worked with me knows that I have a penchant for stone, bricks, glass, in fact most hard, natural materials and the beautiful tiles and stone available from Artedomus are awe-inspiring. I can talk for hours about the wonders of marble or granite, however, on my trip to Sydney for Saturday in Design I was (almost) speechless when I spied a wonderful piece of furniture that takes natural stone to a whole new level.
Sitting at the entrance of the Corporate Culture Chippendale showroom was a stunning new reception desk made of, yes you guessed it, stone. Designed by the very talented Australian designer Adam Goodrum the desk is made from Bedonia natural stone from Artedomus and is an elegant signature piece for the high-end furniture retailer. Artedomus's artisan stonemasons worked on the desk for more than one hundred hours and much of this time was spent on site, hand-shaping the complex multi-axis joint at each vertical corner. The three sides of the desk are made from 30mm thick stone positioned to tilt inwards and the finished product is both beautiful and elegant in it's simplicity. All credit must go to Artedomus's talented stone masons for achieving a flawless result.
Corporate Culture is the destination to shop for architects, designers and anyone who loves beautiful furniture and Goodrum's reception desk aligns perfectly with the many iconic furniture pieces on show. Artedomus also supplied handcrafted tiles from Inax, Japan and Graniti Fiandre, Italy for specific areas of the showroom.
It's good to see two leading companies working together to enhance each others products especially when the results are as pleasing as this.
