Little Peace Farm Blog
Hey folks.
Well, you know we just purchased the additional acreage which comes with a ton of potential and....a couple acres of wine grapes. There are two varieties; whites (Cayuga) and reds (Cambourcin). The Cayugas are ready and we're picking next Thursday, September 6th. We have a buyer for some of the whites and he is coming to help pick and is bringing his grape de-stemmer/crusher machine. THESE GRAPES ARE EXCELLENT FOR WINE MAKING OR FOR MAKING/FREEZING GRAPE JUICE/JELLIES!!! We are selling by pre-order and your order will be ready for pick up from 4-6 on picking day. See below for details......mmmmmmmmmmmm local grapes!!!!!!!!!!!
After grapes are harvested they go through a de-stemmer which removes the stems and pops the grapes open. They then go through a press which really creates the juice for the wine or juice. A winemaker estimated that 15 lbs. of white grapes makes about 1 gallon of wine and 12 lbs. of reds makes a gallon (reds are fermented with their skins for color). A bottle of wine is 750ml and a gallon is approxiately equal in volume to 5 bottles of wine.
We are selling the Cayugas (whites) at $1/lb. in tact and $1.15/lb. for crushed. You can order up to 100 lbs. You will need to bring containers with lids if you are ordering crushed grapes or just boxes/bags if you are buying grapes in tact. Please pre-order by responding to this e-mail about the quantity and state (in tact or crushed) you would like. Thanks and call if you are confused. Believe us, our heads are spinning too! Peace.

Hey good folks. Thanks to all who ordered! We are sold out for this batch of our pastured chickens. Stay tuned for more LPF news!
Hey good folks!
We started growing vegetables to sell from our garden, when we lived in a half/double in Orwigsburg in 2006 and ever since it's been a sprint! Today we settled on the "rest of the farm" which is the additional 15 acres behind us. The property includes 2-3 acres of wine grapes (Cayuga and Chamborcin), two ponds and some ground and pasture for us to grow on. Working farms never stop changing but this is the final step in a long journey towards self sufficiency and sustainability; WE ARE PUMPED! With this additional acreage we plan on adding more vegetables, fruit trees (I say apples, Em says peaches...), pastured chickens and livestock, blueberries, asparagus, and a whole lot more.
We want to thank folks for getting us this far, but how do we properly do this except by continuing what we were brought here to do; raise our family by growing HONEST food for ourselves and our community. Our farm has been producing food for the community for over 150 years and we're doing nothing new. I always say that as farmers, "We're all doing the same thing, differently."
Thanks for supporting this little sustainable farm and we look forward to continue growing for you. Now we're going to walk the new fields and continue dreaming!

Hey folks!
We wanted to invite any of our CSA members or anyone who comes out on Tuesday to pick up veggies to join me on a walk of the farm. I'll start the walk at 5:00 and we'll gather at the market room. This is a great chance to get a grasp on the scale of what/how we're growing as a small, intensive, chemical-free veggie operation! Wear appropriate footwear and dress for weather, this is a rain or shine or sleet or ...event.
Next time you see Ari or Grace, maybe you could congratulate them on winning some ribbons at the Schuylkill Co. Fair this week. The both did great showing a pygmy goat named "Caddie" and a pure-bred Corriedale sheep named "Livvy". One of Ari's sheep is ready to drop a lamb or two any day now. Our flock is growing!
We are taking orders for our 3rd batch of delicious HONEST chicken. We move our birds on fresh grass each day and supplement their diet with transitional organic feed from a mill in Oley, PA. We will process this batch on August 23 so pick up is from 3-6 that same day. We also will have two larger batches following this one so if you don't get on the pre-order list this time, stay tuned!
Hope you are all enjoying the summer and our food!

Little Peace Farm
Hey folks.
Welp, I've hit it. As promised, I've hit that annual mid-season wall and I am a grump! Every season, right about now, after several weeks of drought, fatal plant disease, bolted lettuce, corn-fed raccoons, unexpected bills, killed chickens, injury, less than stellar sales, rising fuel prices, tractor/equipment repairs, uncontrolable fatigue, Casea dog gone, I get really down about what we're doing here at the farm. What ARE we doing here?
When I answer that, it sounds all good and simple; WE ARE RAISING OUR FAMILY ON A FARM AND SHARING OUR LIVES AND HOW WE LIVE WITH OUR COMMUNITY, PERIOD! Sharing the fruit of our vocation with our family, friends and community. No matter how you say it, it sounds perfect but chasing that perfection is exhausting! We've been in a sprint since February and are feeling it.
Having said all that, most of our friends will say, "Well what GOOD has happened on the farm so far this year?" This e-mail would go unread for the length if I listed it all here but I'll name a few:
*we're still here!
*my wife and children!
*we've added lots of animals to our care!
*we're all relatively physically healthy!
*you're all supporting us!
*we're expanding our farm (more to come!)
*we're applying growing skills we've learned over the winter and seeing results!
*great winter growing in our new high tunnel!
These are all miracles and we know how much we have to be grateful for and we are profoundly grateful to God for our protection and care. We know the end result of our labors are healthier, happier community. We also know that WE LOVE BEING FARMERS. This is our calling and we're totally dedicated to it. That gives me peace, knowing that I'm fulfilling the vocation I was made for.
So I'll stop whining and look for those little miracles that surround us every day. Aah, I feel better now....
Hey good folks,
The intense heat makes everyting act really wierd. First, we all get a little bleary-eyed and stumbly but manage to keep up with all of the work. The chickens get pretty stressed out and the ruminants (sheep and goats) find any shade they can and try to stay still. The plants start to show signs of heat stress as well. Flowering and growth stalls and any injury from bug bites on the leaves turns crusty. Weeds like pigweed and lambs quarter look great (sarcastic) but even other weeds go limp in the hot conditions. We're supposedly going to hit the mid 90's for the next two days again so I hope you can all stay cool.
Lettuce Lull
Because of the prolonged and intense heat, conditions were not fit to plant lettuce. We were finally able to plant about 800 heads yesterday which should be ready in about 4 weeks. We are in the middle of picking our 4th planting of head lettuce so there will be a couple of weeks starting next week or so when we will not have any. Simply too hot!
Peppers, Eggplant and Okra
We should have our first eggplant within a week of which we have 4 or 5 varieties. Look for Asian purple fruits called Ping Tung and heirloom eggplant called Rosa Bianca. The okra is ready and I'll have it on the table in the next few days. We'll provide recipes to help with cooking ideas. Peppers are looking good and you should see the first in about 2 weeks or so.
We're digging the second variety of potato after the red fingerlings you've seen for the past couple of weeks. What you'll see starting today are Yukon Golds. As the season progresses we'll have varieties like Bintje, Purple Viking, Sangre, and Banana fingerlings. Our intention is to have potatoes throughout the winter as well but this all depends on yield! The heat has significantly lowered what we expected but I planted a large amount of seed!
We're just about done with our spring onions and are getting ready to start harvesting our sweet onions called Ailsa Craig. Then on to our red and gold cippolinis, Tropea onions, and our storage variety called Copra.
The maters you've seen for the past couple of weeks have come from our high tunnel, which has enabled us to offer tomatoes 3 weeks earlier than normal. Our varieties in the field with names like Rutgers, Black Prince, Brandywine, and Striped Roman are sizing up and slowly beginning to ripen. We will likely tear out the high tunnel tomatoes by the end of August to make room for winter vegetables!!!
Pastured Chickens
Our 4th batch of broiler chickens is in the mail and we'll pick them up at the post office tomorrow morning. We sold out our first two runs and are soon going to post pre-orders for the batch we just put out on pasture. We will offer 3 more batches but keep an eye out for the e-mail because we sell out very fast.
We could complain about how tired we are and the unrelenting heat and dry conditions and how markets could be better but the reality is we are staying afloat. Thank you all for your continued support of our farm. Our goal is make a profitable living fulfilling our vocation of producing the best, organically grown, nutrient dense food as possible you are all helping make that possible! Peace.

Little Peace Farm
Hey good folks.
Today, we lost a beloved member of the family. Most of you who come to the farm have been greeted by the classic, scrruffy, and barky dog named Casea. Casea was 17 (human years!) years old which means I had her for a few years before I even met Emily! She had a great life and now rests under a shady walnut tree in our meadow.
I found Casea while on a long weekend surf trip to Cape Hatteras. I swerved to miss her with my car and pulled over to see what it was that I almost hit. What I found was a curious and very scared looking pup on her belly in the sand. Love at first sight. She literally crawled towards me when I rounded the car in a submissive posture. I checked her out and found that she was totally unhurt but still needed safety. When I inquired at the rustic book store across the highway (RT 12) about whose dog it was, a local park ranger said she was very likely owned by the folks who lived across the way. I walked her over to the probable owners house and found the classic run-down shack, car up on blocks and BIG ROTWEILER ready to bound through the screened-in porch at me. Mom came to the door and I asked her if she wanted Casea any more. She said not really and later that night, after her children were asleep, I came and picked up my new pooch.
I brought her home to my apartment in Kutztown where I was living with a friend, finishing up a degree in Anthropology. NO PETS read the fine print in our rental agreement but I seemed to think that didn't apply to me and my new dog. Casea became an icon on campus as I tied her to shady trees outside while I attended class. Usually, there was a small crowd around her loving her up when I was finished with class. Friends volunteered to take her for walks when I was working and Casea kind of became a COMMUNITY dog. There have even been a few songs written about her (Heather {Hart} Rees, you know the one).
My mom cared for Casea while I studied and lived in Central America and became even more attached to my extended family (sorry for the dead chickens Terry!). She traveled with me just about everywhere I went, even on another surf trip to Florida with Gavin where Casea met her first and last beach lover, a frumpy old Brittany Spaniel name General Lee!
Well, since then, Casea was absorbed into family and has been the omni-present guardian and friend for me, Em and the kids. So many people have said, "Oh, what a strange looking thing!" but they were usually the ones who really didn't know her. Strange looking maybe, but a lot like us. Not cookie cutter good looking but loved life, playful, content, couldn't be tied down, and ate chickens (heheheh).
Anyway, I wanted to share with you because she was THAT important to us. I don't know what tomorrow morning will be like when I have nobody following me to the field at 5:30.
Michael, Emily and the Kids.
Hey good folks!
Welp the one down is Emily. She fell yesterday morning and injured an already-hurt knee. So after an early morning trip to the ER, Emily's leg is in an immobilizer and she's hobbling around on crutches. This does not fit Emily's routine! So no bread at the farm pick ups on Tuesdays for a little while and lots more of us picking up her load!
Last Sunday (Father's Day) we were on our way out the door to a family function when the kids scampered in the house to tell us that there were two baby goats in the stall with Heady (mom goat)! They weren't mistaken, as Heady gave birth to two healthy kids, one male and one female. The girls have had to do some supplemental bottle feeding but otherwise, all is good with the new additions. The Scheidel farm keeps on growing!
The Scheidels
Hey folks. We wanted to invite you to a local restaurant to have a truly local dining experience. Here are the details:

Little Peace Farm
Hey folks. Bad news for all those who love juicy, delicious tomatoes and hearty potatoes; LATE BLIGHT is in town! Late blight is an extremely vigorous and destructive spore that basically melts beautiful plants and fruit into a gross, mushy mess. If you grow either of these in your gardens, two weeks ago was the time to spray copper products to protect your plants. See this link for a USDA report. I don't know any conventional sprays other than Captan that might be effective. I sprayed copper hydroxide (organic certified; Champ WP) on all of our potatoes and field tomatoes and started on the high tunnel tomatoes. There are a lot of products out there that claim to be effective against late blight but eventually, the spore will kill everything if we have the right conditions (damp, cool). So pray for hot and dry weather, spray your plants with a copper or other ecological products every 7-10 days and scout your plants as often as possible for any signs of infection. Everyone in the Northeast, including us, lost tomatoes due to LB in 2009 so be vigilant! Now, sleep well....

We all grow old, or as I like to think of it,our bodies show the signs of our life experiences.
My Mum has helped me stay as healthy as I can, we exercise at least twice a day.
We are both amazed that my weight is the same as when i was one year old. Mum is generous with her treats but only lets me have small serves.
Of course I'm about a kilo heavier before I go to Wembley Vet for my fluffy hair cut!

A few weeks ago my Mum was invited to accept some bath care products for me to try. As you know, I love to roll in duck poo at Subiaco Common which makes my apricot coat very smelly. Some new shampoo seemed a good idea.
Yesterday a box turned up at our house. I felt excited when Mum told me that it had my name (Mr KoKo Dog) on it. Mum let me rip it open.
I was initially disappointed at the lack of food smells but then Mum told me what it was. Four bottles of Underwater Dog Shampoo, conditioner, detangler and shine. We were both delighted.
So ………..this afternoon, after several plays in Richard Diggins Park with the kids, it was time for a bath.
Now that I am nine I still don't like baths but I behave for Mum as I love feeling clean afterwards, and I know she will let me curl up on the couch with her when I smell nice.
Thank You Ralphie at Underwater Dog Company
Guess what my Mum and I found on our evening Friday night walk around Subiaco? A new night cafe just three blocks from my home.
Why am I excited?
It has outside tables
They brought me out some clean cool water
The chef apparently cooks lovely healthy pastas (Mum wouldn't let me try any as she said it would be too spicy for my little sensitive tummy.)
The staff are friendly
I was allowed to do my job as the official Subiaco cafe dog cleaner upper.
Now we get to the best bit – as I'd been so well behaved Mum gave me some of Tommy Sugo's special gelato. It was the most creamy tasty gelato I have ever had. Wow, it was yummy!
I even got to lick out the cup! 😃
If you are looking for it, during the day the cafe is Stimulatte in Hay St,
Woofs from KoKo
I'm well known for my patience and gentleness with kids at the park but if you let your children pull my tail or grip me with both hands I might yell at you to let go.
I'm not being nasty I am just trying to say please be gentle.
Read the poster for more info on safe dog interaction,
Thank you KoKo (the friendliest dog in Subiaco!)
As many of you know, my human Mum has taken photos of about 600 dogs in our suburb of Subiaco Western Australia. She worked out that the most common names were Bella and Molly for girl dogs, and Max for a boy dog There was an enormous range of individual names that clever parents had made up.
When you decided to take care of a little puppy, or a give a refuge doggie a new permanent home, you need to think carefully about his or her name.The name needs to be easy to call, not too common and with not so many letters that it can't fit on his or her collar. And, of course, it will be best if it means something to you.
My name KoKo has a personal complex tale behind it. As My mum was scared of dogs all her life, so she thought about what to call me for a long time. See www.kokosdogblog.com and enter KoKo's name in the Search Bar for more of my story.
The company BowWowMeow has just released the list of the top ten names for dogs for 2014. On reading it on IdPets Web site Mum found that she was right!
Bella hit the top spot for the most popular dog name in 2014 and Molly was third. Coco was also common. That is why when Mum introduces me she always says "I'd like you to meet KoKo. We spell this with a "K" because he is a boy dog.
Mum was right again with Max being the most popular boy's name and Charlie second..There were also lots of Buddys, Oscars, Jacks, Archies and Harrys .

Now here's a fantastic idea for making a bit of cash on the side, if it wasn't illegal of course. Change someone's Wikipedia page and get them to pay for the privilege of you changing it back for them. Kanye seemed keen at least.
I guess celebrities are a tad more attached to their Wikipedia pages than I thought. Then again, who doesn't Google themselves every now and again? It can't just be me, right? [Nimrod]

AZURE COAST TOWER, Qingdao, Shandong, China
Design Advisor with RTKL
Conceived as a vertical city, including offices, hotel, dining, residences, and retail, the 400-meter tower links surrounding neighborhoods, business districts, and government center, aiming to become the central landmark for the region. The shape of the super-highrise is designed to reduce wind loads by facilitating air flow, while the serrated surface modulates wind velocity to avoid too much acceleration, saving significantly on structural material and costs. The fins also shade the glazing to avoid undue heat gain and provide ample surfaces for building-integrated solar panels. An upper-floor atrium facilitates passive ventilation. The project was intended to become the world's first net-zero-energy skyscraper and a model for climate-conscious development in China.

Switching from Sytner Guy Salmon Coventry ?
When I was placing the order for mine I ended up advising them to consult with Lister Solihull to resolve an administrative issue that was beyond them but not to Lister supplying a distant acquaintance at the same time.
I have been 'in correspondence' with them for about a month trying to get an appointment to get the SatNav and Bluetooth fixed under warranty. When that acquaintance found the same issue, Lister sorted it out without too much fuss.
Sytner - very polite when they actually communicate but...........
Lister Solihull seems a little more competent from that very limited comparison, but cannot comment on non-warranty repairs/maintenance.
I won't comment on Sytner Guy Salmon new car preparation and handover as that might drift into the realm of libelous!

Do you have stubborn areas of fat on your body that you would like to go away? Come see us for a free consultation to learn how Hourglass Contouring could help you lose your unwanted fat.
Cryotherapy is a non-invasive body contouring technique that decreases fat in problem areas.
It decreases temperature of fat cells under the skin, resulting in the natural cell death of subcutaneous fat cells without damage to nerves or other body tissues.
Because of this natural fat cell death, results are delayed, typically 2-6 months after the treatment.
This technique has been studied and shown to reduce fat cells by approximately 20-40%.
It has minimal side effects and has less risk than traditional liposuction techniques.
It is safe and does not lead to increases in cholesterol or damage to your liver or kidneys.
It has a 90% success rate in patient satisfaction.
Best outcomes have occurred in patients with a BMI of < 30 and those looking to reduce fat in certain problem areas.
Above is a before and after picture of an actual patient from our office after one procedure.
Below is before after picture of a female patient that used our procedure.
It is NOT Coolsculpting, which is a patented brand technology.
It is NOT a weight loss plan, nor does it replace traditional diet and exercise.
It is NOT recommended for obese individuals.
It does NOT use radiation, heat, or ultrasound.

Did you wake up a little earlier than usual yesterday hoping to get your hands on some Radiohead tickets during that special W.A.S.T.E. presale only to be disappointed? We started getting frustrated WTF?! emails and comments around 7 a.m. So apparently you were not alone. Not everybody, it seems, however, turned up empty handed. Judging from the number of posts on Craigslist, there's no shortage of resellers trying to unload tickets for $252, on the low end, to $846 on the high end. A little out of your price range? Good news: The general onsale hasn't happened yet. You can still get tickets for the hottest show of the year the traditional way this Saturday morning at 10 a.m. through TicketHorse without having to mortgage your house.

Our Mission
To demonstrate the united power of Christ and His Church at the workplace and home.
Guiding Values
Godly Community
Proverbs 27:17, "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."
Outside of God's Word, the greatest resource we possess is each other. Safari seeks to bridge the gap between church and career. One of the ways we will accomplish that is by connecting you with other Christian's in business. The knowledge another Christian has could be what you need to take your career to the next level, to further your reach for the gospel. It is important to surround ourselves with other people who have been there, who have been tried by fire and walked through it.
Godly knowledge
Proverbs 1:7, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."
Countless books have been written on business and how to be successful in it. Many of them are awesome resources that have positively affected millions of lives. Yet, there is one book that is greater than them all, the Bible. Within the pages of scripture you will find thousands of verses that teach on finances, ethics, integrity, investments, and eternity. The truths that the Bible shares are timeless and always relevant. Everything that we do and teach at Safari, first and foremost will be based upon the Word of God, the source of eternal knowledge.
Godly purpose
1 Corinthians 10:31, "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
Being successful this side of eternity feels pretty great. We pursue success for numerous reasons. Maybe we never want to worry about not being able to provide for our family, or we want to give our children what we didn't have. Whatever the reason, experiencing success just feels good. At Safari we believe that success is greater than prosperity or victory. We believe our ultimate success is bringing glory to God in all aspects of what we do. It's a question we constantly ask ourselves and one that we hope to lead other businesses to do. Business isn't a separate aspect of the rest of our lives, it is just part of who God created us to be. Our goals in business should be Christ-centered and Christ-led.

An aging dog
I should have known. She's absolutely impossible.
Not that she wasn't already, but getting an article about her — HER — in the papers has gone to Gloria's head. She sashays around, twitching that sleek fanny of hers, and expects us to make room for her.
Don't count on it, I tell her. She's shedding terribly, a new nuisance and a major one, for who wants black hair everywhere? (Gloria hair is not at all like golden retriever hair which can be picked up in bunches. She deposits hers, single hair by hair . . . everywhere.)
And she bites as alarmingly as ever. I never see them coming, flummoxed by her purrs and what I presume is loving attention. Somehow even the papyrus survives. All right, I do get a kick out of hearing her munching on it in the morning. It reminds me of a fairy's cough.
It's Minor who gets my sympathy. Oh, sure, he made the papers fairly recently too, but that was old behavior and farcical complaining. Where does he hide these things? (The 30-inch rawhide candy cane made it back up to the house from bushes nearer the road not long ago. I saw him retrieve it and carry it up — but that's it. Gone again for now.)
He deserves more than that.
Minor's had a hard winter — and not just because of the cat. Actually, he tends to try to ignore her (which raises her efforts not to be ignored). Truth is, Minor's become an old dog. Ten and a half. Not old for all goldens, but definitely for one plagued with so many problems.
He continues his laser treatments on a regular basis. (We've been lucky for the most part with the winter roads this year.) I'm aware of the increasing weakness in his back left side when I watch him precede me back up the driveway with the papers. Only once in all the years we've been together have I seen him renege on his duty.
Minor lost a toe early in February. It started as a bulge, grew alarmingly and then bled copiously with every step he took. The amputation was a remarkably easy operation — at least for me (not sure about the doc) and, after the first day or two, for Minor as well. He licks it which delays healing but that's also connected to his skin problems. Everything just takes a lot longer to heal than anticipated.
No bandage for this. No bleeding — a miracle it seemed — and he was back to walking normally almost at once. Just that first day when he only wanted to go partway down the drive. I definitely didn't encourage him to do any more than he wanted. I don't think I ever have.
These days I honestly view us more as a team. He certainly supports me — as I try to do for him. He's always one step ahead of me — bathroom early, before bed, and under the desk in the den when I write and under the grand when I go to practice. He doesn't linger there particularly long. He might go outside then — or just stretch out to nap a room or two away. Heck! I'd do the same if I weren't the one making the noise.
He reminds me of dinnertime (breakfast is the first thing in the morning, no reminder needed), when he needs clean water and, six times a day, when it's eye drop time. That always involves a small treat so he's eager and waiting. His eyes look better and his eye doctor says she can see the improvement. What more can I ask?
Is he losing some of his hearing? or just absent minded? or perhaps happier to ignore me when it suits him?
I call him my unicorn for a funny growth has appeared on his nose. Minor has warts and and scaly skin, all developing over the years. He knows no differently and I wouldn't tell him (if I could). Perhaps he's the lesson in patience I always needed.
He gets very excited when he can go in the car. His in and out, up and down, grows increasingly difficult but that doesn't matter. Usually his adventures involve the vet or his groomer, frequently with a detour to the bank. He really knows when I turn the corner which way I'm going and is "bank-alert" from way over a mile away (unless I "sneak" in from a different direction). Just the post office? I invite. He considers and inevitably turns away. No thank ye. He'll be waiting on the garage steps when I get home minutes later, the most tailwagging dog that could be.
I keep telling him spring is coming. Just hold on.
I hope he listens.

Lasting Change
Using the science of brain development, CUPS provides integrated programs and services that help our clients manage adversity and build resilience. We focus on strategies that lead to lasting change, and we work with partners who are shaping better outcomes for generations to come.
An Evidence-Based Approach
CUPS applies a body of scientific knowledge called the Brain Story, which helps to explain the connection between the experiences we have in our lives and our physical, emotional and social outcomes. Whenever a client comes to CUPS with a problem, we consider the big picture circumstances surrounding that problem. To do this, we use a tool called the Resiliency Matrix.
CUPS Awards
As we've evolved into an evidence-based social agency, CUPS has been recognized by multiple stakeholders for the impact of our programs and our commitment to building resilience in individuals, families and communities.

Connect with Other Girl Scouts: Request a Pen Pal August 15 - December 15!
This guide is meant for troops, groups, and individually-registered Girl Scouts (Juliettes) who would like to share their experiences and connect with other girls through writing letters with a pen pal. Based on your group size and grade level, your pen pal may be a girl within Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa or a Girl Scout in another state (see below for more information).
Pen pal matches may take up to one month to be arranged, and will be made only between August 15 and December 15 each year.
What is a Girl Scout pen pal?
A pen pal is a friend you get to know through letters! She usually lives in another place and will write about her hometown, school, family, pets, customs and traditions, special interests, or talents. Pen pals share things like games, recipes, memories, and photos.
Pen Pal Guidelines:
Please note: due to safety concerns, only fill out a pen pal request form if you are a member of Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa. GSGI troops should NOT contact other councils directly. Have questions? GSGI troops may contact the Girl Experience team at firstname.lastname@example.com (groups from other councils should reach out to their respective council for assistance).
Daisy Troops (Grades K-1): For safety, Daisy grade level girls are able to connect with other Daisies within Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa (GSGI) only. Fill out your Daisy Pen Pal Request Form.
Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors (Grades 2-12): You can request to connect with Girl Scouts in other states OR within GSGI. Fill out your Brownie-Ambassador Pen Pal Request Form.
Juliette Girl Scouts (individually-registered girls) are able to connect with other Juliettes within GSGI only, to foster connections between individuals across our council. Fill out your Juliette Pen Pal Request Form.
Troops/Groups are matched by program level and troop size. All troops/groups matches are expected to maintain correspondence for at least one school year. This doesn't mean that after a year, you stop corresponding. Many Girl Scouts keep writing to their pen pals for as long as 25 years!
Pen pal troops are not currently available through the network in Hawaii or Alaska.
Matches will only be made between August 15 and December 15. Matches WILL NOT be made December 16 through August 14.
How can my troop/group/Juliette participate?
To participate, members of Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa (GSGI) can fill out a request form (found at girlscoutsiowa.org > Forms). There are three separate forms: one for Daisy troops (grades K-1), one for Brownie-Ambassador troops (grades 2-12), and one for Juliettes (individually-registered Girl Scouts).
Decide with your troop (or your family if you are a Juliette) if you want to be a pen pal with another troop locally or within the US.
Complete the request form online for your grade-level/troop status (see links above).
Wait while the council finds a troop/group that is looking for a pen pal locally or within the US. This could take up to a month. Matches will only be made between August 15 and December 15.
You will receive notification email from GSGI that includes to how to contact the pen pal's troop or group volunteer. For Juliette Girl Scouts, you will receive information on how to contact the girl's parent/guardian.
You can choose to write a letter from the whole troop/group OR each girl and volunteer can write her own. Do not encourage the exchange of phone numbers. Here are some ideas for what to send:
a) Girls can tell their pen pal about:
i) Herself, her family, her friends
ii) Her neighborhood and town, her special holidays
iii) Her Girl Scout troop, community activities, her volunteer and other adult friends
iv) Her school and school friends
b) Include special items with the letters:
i) Snapshots/sketches
ii) Magazine articles
iii) Maps
iv) Recipes
v) Games/songs
c) Find out more about your troop/Girl Scout's pen pal
i) Ask questions about the pen pal's special interests, her school, her Girl Scout activities, and her state, local town, or neighborhood.
ii) Learn about her town/city or state by visiting the local library, or asking a parent/guardian to help with an internet search.
iii) Ask for snapshots, newspaper headlines, maps, games and song
d) Volunteers: your pen pal troop volunteer can be your pen pal, too!
i) Learn about your pen pal troop's volunteer by asking about her experiences, her interests, and her Girl Scout activities.
ii) Send your volunteer pen pal interesting information you pick up at trainings or events.
iii) Keep in touch with your volunteer pen pal and keep her up to date with your troop's progress.
6. Make sure your envelopes have the correct postage before mailing. A visit to the post office can be a fun and educational experience for girls!
As we're working with many individuals across the country, it can take a little bit of time to make sure that GSGI matches you correctly, to ensure that you have the best possible pen pal experience. Though a pen pal opportunity can be used to fulfill certain badge steps (considering adaptations), please note that it could take longer for that badge to be completed.
Badge/Project Examples:
Daisy Petals: Gloria petal, Vi petal
Brownie: Girl Scout Way, Making Friends, My Family Story
Junior: Girl Scout Way, Scribe, Social Butterfly, Bronze Award idea sharing
Cadette: Girl Scout Way, Netiquette, Silver Award idea sharing
Senior: Girl Scout Way, Collage Artist, Gold Award Idea Sharing
Ambassador: Girl Scout Way, Gold Award Idea Sharing
Pen Pals Outside the United States
The International Pen Pal program conducted by GSUSA is under revision and they are not currently accepting requests. While the International Pen Pal program is under review, Girl Scout volunteers and girls who have internet access can visit the WAGGS visitors' book website at www.wagggsworld.org
Although staff from WAGGGS World Bureau in London, England monitors the WAGGGS website regularly, GSUSA advises that girls NOT use their last names or share their e-mail addresses when signing the guest book. If continued correspondence is desired, Girl Scout volunteers should contact other volunteers using an e-mail address set up for that purpose so replies can be screened.

I seem to recall being extremely unfashionable in the eighties. It is only because I looked back in pictures and interpreted it that way, I suppose. My hair was cut in a mullet-like style at one point. I forgot it was picture day one year, and I wore a hand-me-down blue shirt, which with my very short hair-cut made me look like an effeminate little boy. That's the same year I came to a new school after moving to my current city from farther north. At one point acid-wash jeans were in, but that might have been early nineties. And tie-die was big and crimping your hair was all the rage.
The early nineties were the worst period, in my view, because I cringe every time I pass that era in my former grade school's storied hall... Everything was floral and clashing horribly with the other dresses. The smart people were wearing a solid, more classic colour, but in the end the photo still looks disastrous. We decorated our hall with teal and mauve streamers, and MWS's "Friends are Friends Forever" was played after we had dined on lasagne and caesar salad.
One thing I am thankful for is that usually I didn't bother with the poofy bangs look with the blue eye-shadow, although I wore the denim over-alls with one strap undone and walked with my back-pack only on one shoulder. I continued to wear plaid shirts well into my high school years. I just can't understand why I would want to revisit plaid, tie-dye, acid-wash jeans, poofy hair, and big floral outfits... I completely draw the line at buying another pair of overalls! The last ones I owned were beige corduroy and still embarrass me to this day... I assume we are revisiting those who actually had style, or maybe money to buy designer wear. I still remember LA Gear, with fluorescent shoe laces, and the show "Full House" that I watched taped copies of at my best friend's house.
Things from the eighties I still like are those jelly shoes made of plastic for very small feet, hand-sewn-family-coordinated dresses, little dresses bought in Florida from my grandparents, and hand-knitted little sweaters made with love by my grandmother. As for toys, I think Care Bears, stuffed animals of any type (my favourite was my Benji dog), My Little Ponies, Light-Bright, Easy-Bake Ovens, Skip-its, pogo balls, long skipping ropes, building blocks, yarn-hand-crafted-dogs, and slinkies are on my list of favourite toys. I had an imitation Cabbage-Patch doll with pink hair named Gertie Tanya, but I renamed her because I thought it was an ugly name. Mine had tight curls and my sister's had pig-tails. Now I have completely exhausted this fascinating topic, I think I will make myself some dinner... reheated left-overs sounds perfect!

You know what, I think GI Joes, action figures, race tracks, and building sets also deserve a mention; those were sometimes more fun to play with. And dress-up is a good game too, the stupider the look the better!

Shake It is the debut solo single from the girls. It is about dancing to relieve tension, exploding on the dance floor, doing what you want, going crazy and not regretting anything. This is the track that we have been waiting for since we first saw the DETKI girls on the Prygay! [Jump!] video half a year ago, and they haven't disappointed with this great dance track. The vocals have been heavily processed to give the song a more electronic feel that is popular on the dance floor but there are a few sections where we hear the natural voices and it is clear that it is only needed for effect. The video is very busy with quite a lot happening allowing the girls to each express their own individual personalities, and in the synchronised sections they show a precision that matches any, and surpasses many, older professional dance troupes. With this as a first offering we can only delight in thought of what these talented artists will produce in the future and we are in for a wonderful journey seeing these kids develop as performers.
You can follow DETKI on Facebook, on vKontakte, on Instagram, and on their YouTube channel. You can follow Marta on Instagram. You can follow Polina on Instagram. You can follow Melanya on Instagram. You can follow Nicoletta on Instagram. You can follow Karina on Instagram.

Athens is a blend and a famous hub of monetary flourishing, culture, and couture. There is really no deficiency of things to do in the city that never rests, so it's no big surprise why this clamoring city pulls in an astounding 44 million vacationers every year. Everything from world-class feasting to honor winning amusement is readily available when you are in Athens City. To spare cash on your excursion so you can have more subsidizes accessible for no particular reason stuff, take after these tips for getting shoddy flights to Athens.
There are a wealth of shoddy flights to Athens accessible in the wintertime as a result of the frosty climate and snowstorms. An additional liven of going to Athens City in the wintertime is that the group disperse and you can have a large portion of the attractions to yourself. The climate is dark, frosty, and now and again blanketed, however nestling with your friends and family while watching out of your lodging room window at the snow-secured city or jumping starting with one comfortable bistro or historical center then onto the next will make for delightful memories.
For the most part, January to early March is the best time of year to visit Athens in case you're on a financial plan. You can discover numerous shabby flights to Athens as of now. Summer is additionally a decent time to visit in light of the fact that there are less individuals in the city on the ends of the week, however be set up for sweltering warmth on the off chance that you arrange an outing right now. Stay away from Christmas and New Year's on the grounds that the city is pressed with voyagers and rates for lodging skyrocket. In the spring and fall, Athens' climate is exquisite, yet airfares and lodging rates are likewise more expensive.

So Scott Rothstein pleads guilty this morning and his wife, Kim, will be there to stand by his side. Or at least behind him, in the gallery with the media. He'll be shackled before the judge, after all.
Yesterday, as you know, the woman called Kimmie gave a brief and somewhat strange interview to Rothstein favorite Rosh Lowe of Channel 7. Today she'll be at the 9:30 a.m. court hearing. She's even got a P.R. person, one Valerie Zucker, who owns Zucker Public Relations in Fort Lauderdale, doing work for her.
She didn't have an exactly auspicious start yesterday in the TV interview. She was defiant and seemingly evasive, deflecting questions about her marriage with Rothstein by saying, "The truth is that people don't know anything about me. That's that."
She said she still loves Scott, adding that she thinks he "returned to do the right thing." That sounds a whole lot like Rothstein himself.
And she said that she had no way to know her husband was a crook. "He was the CEO of a major law firm, the rainmaker," she answered. "We had at least ten other businesses; what would have me suspect anything? What?"
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Suffice it to say that it looks like those odd-looking blue contact lenses affected her vision. I'll be updating this post after the court hearing.

Trollbloods Battle Report, Seattle Open Finals: Kolgrima (Band) vs. Ossrum (Irregulars)/
Somehow or other, I had made it to the finals, and my good friend Cory was my opponent. Cory and I have been dodging each other for about two years now, and I was legitimately worried about his Magnus 2 list. It has roughly sixty models in it, and he also brings Alexia and the Risen.
With that in mind, I felt like I really had to drop my Kolgrima list to prevent him from recurring models over and over and over.
Cory, on the other hand, felt that since we were playing Outlast, he couldn't afford to play Magnus, and so he dropped Ossrum.
We were both a little surprised. Cory ADRed in Anastasia and a Spray Bunny, I ADRed in Lynus and Edrea to potentially abuse the clouds on the table, and I still won the roll off and happily chose to go first.

Lynus and Edrea
Trollbloods turn 1:
I didn't take a picture of this, but all of Cory's heavies have advanced moved thanks to the theme benefit, and under Ossrum's feat the Bashers threaten fifteen inches.
I have to play around this a bit, but I opt to let him have threat range on one Long Rider on the left and one on the right. I put down a couple of clouds to hide behind, but getting Kell and Eiryss to both be out of range of my stuff is hard, and I've forgotten about Snipe so I think I'm safe from Kell aiming and getting double shots.
Mercenaries turn 2:
The aforementioned Snipe goes down on Kell, which means he can aim and shoot twice. Eiryss finishes that Long Rider off, and then a Fire for Effected Artillery Corp kills another one.
Cory commits absolutely nothing to any of the zones and just sits way back with his insane threat ranges.
Trollbloods turn 2:
I'm stuck in a bit of a weird position here, and in hindsight I'm pretty unhappy with how I played this turn.
First of all, I know Ossrum's feat is coming next turn and there's not a lot I can do about that. Furthermore, I need my Champs to be able to flex in either direction to go after heavies if they should come at me.
Looking back, I should have built a nice little cloud bunker in the center zone and just put my Champs there so that they could easily get into either zone on the right or left with a Hunter's Mark to help their threat ranges. This would have let me actually reposition my remaining Long Riders into the center of the table with a similar idea, and Kolgrima could have used her Feat to prevent shooting for the next round while I jockeyed for position.
Instead, I skewed really hard left and committed to that zone early. I really think this was a mistake in hindsight, and it's something that I need to remember for the future. Either completely commit to a skew or stay central and be able to strike wherever is best.
I put the Earthborn touching both the right and central zones and I put a cloud wall in front of him. The three Long Riders in the now diminished unit went after Alten, Kell, and Eiryss. I missed the charge on Eiryss, but the other two died and I repositioned backwards.
Everything else skewed left a bit and I called it a turn.
Mercenaries turn 2:
Cory did a beautiful little maneuver here and bulldozed my central Long Rider next to my Earthborn so that his Driller could charge in under feat.
His Eliminators on both sides ran up, and his Forge Guard continued to stay back behind the jack wall.
He put a Basher toeing the left zone and a Blaster fully in the left zone to spray down some Champs.
Hutchuk ambushed and Quaked a Long Rider and Anastasia finished it off.
No one scored, but my Earthborn was on life support and I felt on my back foot.
Trollbloods turn 3:
So I had a plan here. Slam the Basher out of the left zone, kill the Blaster with Champs, and kill the two Kayazy with Long Rider charges and several attempts at back arc swings from Champs.
Unfortunately, dice were a little cold here, and the three charging Champs left the Blaster fairly alive. I also couldn't hit that Kayazy with anything, so the zone stayed well contested.
Kolgrima popped her feat here to turn off shooting, and my Raged Earthborn pounded ineffectually at the Driller. I left it on about 8 boxes, so I charged the Fell Caller in to try and finish off the job, but he failed.
Some big things I did not do well this turn. First of all, my Krielstone is just chilling in the back with zero reason to. If they just flood the middle zone, Cory is going to have a hard time clearing it.
Secondly, I moved my Earthborn OUT of the right hand zone because I didn't want to get charged by Forge Guard. I should have just left him there, because he was a dead Troll no matter what I did and this way I at least don't go down scenario on my turn.
Cory scores at the end of this turn and I do not.
Score: 0 - 1
Advantage Mercenaries
Mercenaries turn 3:
Cory trivially clears the middle zone and contests the left zone with a bunch of stuff. He also runs Kayazy to jam the Krielstone so they can't run and contest.
Critically, he doesn't measure 18 inches from Kolgrima this turn, and he goes to no camp.
I don't have a picture, but Cory scored two.
Score: 0 - 3
Advantage Mercenaries
Trollbloods turn 4:
I do the math on Oddsmachine, and it's almost a 40% assassination on Ossrum with Kolgrima charging his Basher and spraying through it to hit Ossrum.
I do five with the first spray, and then no damage with the second. I need an 11 and 12 for damage to kill him with two more sprays, so I opt to just camp and try and keep Kolgrima alive.
I am able to clear out the left zone finally, but I can't get to the right zone to contest at all, so we both score this turn bringing it 1 - 4.
Score: 1 - 4
Advantage Mercenaries
Mercenaries turn 4:
A Fire for Effected Mortar shot kills Lynus and Edrea, and a bulldozing Driller pushes my Mauler and Long Rider out of the zone.
Cory runs and contests and scores two points to win the game.
Sadly, a loss for the Trolls
Post-Game Thoughts:
I was pretty happy with this game immediately after the event, but in hindsight I think I played this game pretty poorly. My positioning on turn two was questionable at best, and I think if I'd just shoved everything into the middle of the table and been able to hit both zones at once, it would have gone much better for me.
Also, pulling the Earthborn out of the right hand zone was one of the biggest "whoops" moments I've had in recent memory - not good!
Cory played a really solid game, he really had control the entire time, and was a fantastic opponent. We'd been joking at the hotel on the night before day 1 that we'd meet in the finals, and it was pretty great to actually do that.
Here's my lists again, post event, (and a cameo of Jeff modeling my lists). The Seattle Open was a fantastic event, well run and judged. I had a blast, I'll definitely be back, and I urge you to come give it a shot! Thanks for reading!

Dedicated Driving Jobs
For drivers looking for predictable home time and a stable income from their truck driving job, dedicated trucking routes are a great option.
In dedicated driving jobs, drivers can serve a certain area and company, or the same route every time. In the majority of cases, dedicated drivers are aware of their route and destination in advance. Some drivers even know the exact weight of the load, as well as the mileage and income they can expect each week. Since dedicated truck drivers have a more reliable work schedule, they are able to schedule their personal life around their job.
Dedicated truck drivers become the face of the company and develop more personal relationships with their customers. Because of the ongoing relationship, there is a higher level of commitment and expectation. This means that rates can be higher, and drivers can expect more pay in return.
While all sized trucking companies offer these routes, dedicated driving jobs are typically harder to find. Availability will differ in each location, however if you live in an area with large manufacturers or distribution centers, the chances of finding dedicated driving jobs are greater.

Toure commits to City
LONDON – Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has committed his future to the club by signing a new four-year contract.
The 29-year-old has been a huge success since joining City from Barcelona for around 24m in the summer of 2010 and will now be staying until at least 2017.
Toure capped his first season in England by scoring the winning goal in the 2011 FA Cup final against Stoke and his dynamic midfield displays were a huge factor in City's Premier League title-winning 2011/12 campaign.
And the Ivory Coast international has been named the African Player of the Year for both 2011 and 2012.
"This is where I want to be," said Toure, after signing his new deal. "When I first arrived at City, every time I went to sleep, I would dream about us winning something.
"Now, it is about us being the best team in whatever competition we take part in.
"I will never forget how I have been treated here by the fans, the club, and the owners, and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to finish my career as a Manchester City player."
Torres brace lifts Blues
LONDON – Chelsea will go into their UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg against Rubin Kazan next week with a healthy 3-1 advantage thanks in large to a brace from Fernando Torres at Stamford Bridge today.
The beleaguered Spanish forward bundled home the opening goal of the night early on before Victor Moses lashed in a stunning second. However, the visitors pulled one back when John Terry was penalised by referee Gianluca Rocchi for handball.
Bebars Natcho made no mistake from the spot, sending Petr Cech the wrong way four minutes from the break.
Torres though bagged his second of the night with 20 minutes remaining as he climbed high to head the ball past Sergey Ryzhikov after a fine delivery from Juan Mata.
Sachin: I am no God
BANGALORE – He is called the god of cricket by his worshipers, but Sachin Tendulkar has rejected it saying he is as fallible as any ordinary human being. Speaking in a promotion event in Bangalore, Sachin said that it was not fair to brand him as an equal to god. "I am not God of cricket. I make mistakes, God doesn't," Tendulkar said at a promotional event.
The 39-year-old master blaster insisted that he grew up idolising legendary batsmen, Sunil Gavaskar and Vivian Richards and wanted to be a combination of the two batsmen.
"I wanted to be like Sunil Gavaskar as a kid. When I grew up and started watching players from outside, someone who attracted me was Vivian Richards. Everything that he did was effortless. I always thought I should be a combination of these two," Tendulkar said, while answering questions from children.
The batsman, considered by many as the most perfect player the cricketing world has ever seen recalled the turbulent period when he was stuck on 99 international centuries.
"When I got to my 100th international century, I was not jumping or celebrating. My first question to God was why did it take so long? What did I do wrong? With a billion plus people waiting for this, it shouldn't have taken so long," he said.†

The blog tour for Pain Slut by J.A. Rock is stopping by today! It's the second in the "Subs Club" series, and let me tell you… this series is absolutely blowing me away! It's kinky and hilarious and quirky and fun. If you like a little (okay, a lot) of BDSM with your romance, then this is a series that you absolutely need to check out.
J.A. is joining us today with a very sexy discussion post… talking about what has to be one of the hottest scenes I've ever read! And don't forget to drop a comment on this post for your chance to win books from J.A.'s backlist, and Amazon gift cards!
About the Subs Club series
After the death of their friend Hal at the hands of an irresponsible dom, submissive friends Dave, Kamen, Miles, and Gould band together to form the Subs Club—an organization seeking to expose dangerous local doms. The club slowly evolves as romances blossom, loyalties are tested, and tensions mount in a community already struggling for unity in the wake of Hal's death.
From domestic discipline to knife play to fashion paraphilia, and from family drama to new jobs to first loves, the members of the Subs Club explore life's kinks inside and outside of the bedroom as they attempt to let go of the past and move forward.
Pain Slut, by J.A. Rock
The Subs Club, Book 2
Publisher: Riptide Publishing (Feb. 1, 2016)
Genre: Gay, M/M, BDSM, Romance
Buy from the Publisher
My Review: If you're looking for a book with fascinating characters and super hot, kinky sex, you definitely can't go wrong if J.A. Rock's name is on the cover. After reading The Subs Club, I had a feeling that this series was going to become one of my all-time favorites, and Pain Slut is definitely confirming that suspicion! (Full review here. )
Honestly, I'm ready to take a step back from the Subs Club. Making the kink world a safer place for subs is the sort of bandwagon I'd have boarded as an idealist in my early twenties, but now I'm a pragmatist in my late twenties. I prefer to focus on adopting and raising a child.
But unexpected factors inevitably derail my plans. Like Drix Seger—attractive and the first genuine sadist I've encountered. If I were not in the process of renouncing my masochistic ways and becoming the normal, responsible potential father the adoption agency wants to see, Drix and I might do well together. But he has a foolish name and belongs to a cult of vampyres, and I am quitting kink. So why does Drix's infatuation with blood and biting make me so hot I can't think straight? And why, when he looks at me, does he seem to see something beyond a basket case with a stick up my ass?
Can I start a new phase in my life without leaving part of myself behind? Please send help.
Hi! I'm J.A. Rock, and right now I'm touring the internet talking about my latest release Pain Slut—Book 2 in The Subs Club series. Thanks so much to the blogs that are hosting me on this tour, and be sure to leave comments on the tour posts for a chance to win your choice of two backlist ebooks and a $10 Amazon gift card!
The SUV Scene
I'm not an outliner at all. But with the Subs Club series, I did have to do some planning. And one of the things I planned ahead of time was the characters' kinks. I was especially excited for Miles's kink scenes, because he's the first truly masochistic character I've written, and I love writing about pain. So I had this big list of activities I wanted him to try and equipment I wanted him to use…I was ready.
But Miles's most important sex scene was one I'd never planned on writing. Basically, Miles has rough sex with his partner, Drix, in the hatch of Drix's SUV. Miles, who's uptight and intent on trying to control his environment, has done any number of hardcore kinky things, but he's out of his depth when it comes to letting go and forging an emotional connection with his partner. He really likes rough sex, but it's easier for him to ask for things that involve gear and equipment—things he has quantifiable knowledge of—than to ask, "Hey, will you fuck me really hard?" He sometimes uses the trappings of kink to acquire a certain level of detachment from the person he's playing with.
But one day, Drix calls Miles at work and says he's picking him up for a lunch break, and instead of lunch, Drix fucks Miles in the back of his car in a way that 1) forces Miles to acknowledge some of the things he wants but doesn't know how to ask for 2) makes him stay present and aware of his connection with Drix 3) doesn't let him hide behind his encyclopedic knowledge of kink, or behind gear. It ended up being my favorite of Pain Slut's sex scenes to write, and it didn't even involve all the torture devices I was so excited about.
It's always cool as a writer when something unexpected happens during the writing process. And I think the SUV scene helped reinforce for me that Pain Slut really isn't a book about masochism—it's about different types of connection. It's about friendship, family, self-acceptance, and the ways love can surprise us.

Mobile-first indexing in 2018: 3 things SEO professionals should do right now
With 2018 now upon us, there is a need to prepare for the upcoming update to Google's search index to prioritize mobile websites, if you haven't already done so. Here are three things SEO professionals need to do immediately to prepare for a mobile-first index and help their, or their clients', sites weather the storm.
How to optimize images for mobile: Implementing light, responsive, correctly formatted images
The mobile web has a weight problem. Too many mobile sites are slow to load, and bloated with unnecessary bells and whistles, leading to a poor user experience. This column explains how to make sure that any images on your mobile site are light, device-responsive, and use the best format to combine speed and quality.
The ultimate guide to mobile technical SEO
Mobile is destined to become the backbone of determining rankings on both the mobile and desktop version of your website - so it's vital to look at technical SEO from a mobile perspective.
How do I make sure my site is mobile friendly? A checklist
Last week, Google's Webmaster Trends Analyst John Mueller confirmed on Twitter that the latest wave of changes to Google's mobile-friendly ranking signal has now finished rolling out.

I've never been a huge Valentine's Day Girl. I think the best Valentine's Day I've ever had was centered around tacos and Harry Potter movies on my couch. But I do love a good present. And I also love giving presents. Any excuse there is, I get presents for people. To be honest I think I can be kind of overbearing. But this holiday is a valid excuse so I'm giving you a few tips on what to get for the special man in your life!
1. For the Business Man : Tayroc TXMI054 Watch
I bought one of these for my guy (yet another random present) and I've seen it on his wrist s often since! It's relatively inexpensive as far as watches go, and it looks pretty swanky. Despite it's light price tag, the watch itself is super sturdy.
2. For the Outdoorsman: the Mountain Daypack from Topo Designs
I am in love with Topo Designs products. They are all so visually attractive and trendy, but also super functional. This backpack is great if your guy loves to go hiking. For Valentine's Day, I would pack it full with his favorite candies and little love notes or boxers with hearts on them! The possibilities are endless. Use it as if it was a stocking. If you're not a fan of the brighter colors, they have other products in solid, darker colors that are equally as cool.
3. For the 'Manscaper" : Emmerson Joseph Gift Card
Everybody likes their man looking cleaned up. If you're in the Charlotte area, a gift card for Emmerson Jospeh is my go-to. It's $44 for a straight razor shave which is something you don't see very often anymore. It's a men's "grooming lounge" so that it doesn't feel like a task to get a haircut like it usually is. There's a speakeasy, they offer drinks and cigars... it's all very manly. I think this is an awesome way to treat your special someone with an old school treat that will make them look super suave. Added bonus for him? All the stylists are smokin' hot. (Disclaimer: I didn't know this when I got a gift card for my boyfriend, but he was thrilled. If you're worried your man is going to run away with his hairdresser than you probably shouldn't be buying him Valentine's Day gifts anyway.)
If you're not in the Charlotte, NC area, try The Art of Shaving. If you still can't find a location, order a shaving kit!
4. For the slightly scandalous: Tommy John's Valentine's Boxer/Sock Set
So this really isn't all that scandalous, but I wouldn't buy boxers and socks for someone your casually dating. They might head for the hills. Too intimate. Has anyone tried these boxers/know someone who has? I don't know if they work, but I saw a hilarious commercial for them the other night. They're supposed to keep all the junk in place so guys don't have to *adjust* themselves in public. Not quite sure how it works, but it sounds like a win win for everyone. Side note: I've been looking for heart socks EVERYWHERE and this is the first place i've found a pair that fit the bill. Aka they're not women's heart socks...
5. For the Comic: 'You've Stolen a Pizza My Heart' Shirt
I bought this. For myself. Guilty. I'm actually giving it to my boyfriend for Valentine's Day, but I got an XL so that I could steal it and sleep in it. Very thoughtful of me right? I know. It's $10! Target also has a ton of other funny Valentine's related T's if this one doesn't cut it for you.
6. For the Wine Lover: Handsome Devil Wine
Again, $10! So I'm not sure how good the wine actually is, but the name is just too fitting. Make a little note that says "Handsome Devil for my handsome devil ;)" Talk about ROMANCE. Crack this baby open fireside and you've got yourself a dreamy V Day.
(This is also available at Target, but only in stores. I am a target junkie in case you haven't already noticed)
7. For the guy who loves to cook: Sur La Table Cooking Classes
If your guy loves to cook, hold on to him. Mine does not. But alas, I love him despite his flaws. Plus it means I get to cook more, which I'm totally ok with. Sur La Table offers divine cooking classes for couples and is also basically mecca. It would be a great date night experience for the two of you to do something together!
