I have accurately entered my street address but it is not being accepted. What could be wrong? CAN YOU SEE THE MAP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WEB PAGE?
When is the emergency notification system used?
It is used to tell residents about events that could threaten lives or property. It is only used for public safety emergencies such as:
- Chemical spills or hazardous materials
- Missing persons
- Local area evacuation
- Dangerous persons
- Extreme life-threatening weather events
How does the system work?
- Residents sign up at www.911.org to receive emergency alerts on their cell or VOIP phones.
- Public safety agencies (like police, fire) decide to send an alert and decide which people in their area need to get it.
- Then, calls are placed to all landline phones and registered cell and VOIP phones in the designated area. Voicemail and text messages are sent with instructions.
A sample alert:
- Alerts will only be sent to people who need to know about the emergency. Others nearby may not receive an alert if they are not in the affected.
Is there a cost for the service?
- The service is free
- Text & data charges may apply to text alerts.
What happens if I dont have a texting plan?
- If you do not have texting enabled on your data cell phone data plan you will not receive texts. You will receive a voice call that will leave a voice message if you do not answer.
What information is needed to sign up?
- Name, address, cell or VOIP phone number, email address
- You may sign up to four cell or VOIP phone numbers
Why must I give my email address?
It is necessary for the system to periodically verify that your information is correct.
If you do not have an email address:
- Contact your internet provider to get one, or
- Sign up for a free email address with a service such as Yahoo or Google.
How can I trust that the information I give will not be shared?
- GHC 9-1-1 will not share personal information except to allow agencies (police, fire department) to send you emergency alerts. Your information will be sent over a secure, encrypted connection for your protection.
How do I know if I am signed up?
- Once you complete and submit the form, you will receive an email. You MUST reply to the email to complete the process.If you find the message, simply right-click to set preferences for the "Sender" and click on "Not " For more email help contact email@example.com.
Is there a way to register both a home and work address with the same phone number?
- Yes, you can register your phone number with two different addresses, but you need to sign up separately with each address (your work/home). How ever, each registration needs to be with a different email address—because that is your username for each account.
What if my email address or phone number changes?
- If your email address changes, delete your profile where you first signed up and create a new
- If another part of your contact information changes, such as your cell phone number, please log on where you first signed up and change There is no limit to the number of changes you may make.
- Always keep your information current.
What if my address is not correct on the map? Can I fix this?
- First, be sure you entered your address
- If it's correct, right-click on the pushpin and drag your mouse to the proper position.
I have accurately entered my street address but it is not being accepted. What could be wrong? CAN YOU SEE THE MAP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WEB PAGE?
- After you have done this, be sure to refresh your screen or close your browser and reopen it and then try again to register.
I received the email but the link is not visible, what should I do?
- You may have links, attachments etc disabled for your email account. Enable these then close the email and reopen it.

The new stores, which will be a mixture of company-owned and franchised outlets, are planned to open by the end of Starbucks' fiscal year in September. The chain has also opened four concessions in New Look clothing stores, with a fifth planned to open in February, following the closure of its 36 Starbucks concessions in Borders, which went into administration before Christmas.
A spokesperson for Starbucks told British Baker that Starbucks had been looking at which businesses took over the leases from Borders, to see if Starbucks' concessions could re-open within them "and New Look was one of them".
Christmas sales helped the coffee chain record its sixth straight month of like-for-like growth in the UK. Comparative store sales rose by 3.9% in the first quarter to 27 December 2009, with sales in December alone up 6%.
Starbucks UK reported strong sales for its Christmas drinks, with 20% more Gingerbread and Toffee Nut Lattes sold than in 2008. The coffee chain noted that average customer spend was also on the increase.
Starbucks Corporation's total net revenue was up 4% to $2.7bn

Decision No. 861-A-1995
December 28, 1995
APPLICATION by Forestland Helicopter Services Ltd. for suspension of Licence No. 920202.
File No. M4205/F105-5-1
Docket No. 952103
Forestland Helicopter Services Ltd. (hereinafter the Licensee) has applied to the National Transportation Agency for the suspension set out in the title. The application was received on December 12, 1995.
Under Licence No. 920202, the Licensee is authorized to operate a domestic service.
The Agency has reviewed the application and considers it appropriate to suspend Licence No. 920202.
Licence No. 920202 is hereby suspended pursuant to subsection 75(2) of the National Transportation Act, 1987, R.S.C., 1985, c. 28 (3rd Supp.) (hereinafter the NTA, 1987).
To reinstate the suspended service, the Licensee is hereby required to file an application by no later than December 30, 1996. When the Agency is satisfied, based upon material on file or from information specifically requested from the Licensee, that the Licensee is Canadian, holds a Canadian aviation document (operating certificate) and has filed a valid certificate of insurance, the Agency shall reinstate the suspended licence.
With respect to the request to suspend the licence until the spring of 1996, the Licensee may file an application whenever it is willing and able to reinstate the service.
Alternatively, if no application is filed, the Licensee is required to show cause, by no later than December 30, 1996, why its licence should not be cancelled pursuant to subsection 75(1) of the NTA, 1987, as failure to meet any of the above requirements would give reasonable grounds to the Agency to believe that, in respect of the service for which the licence is issued, the Licensee ceases to have the qualifications necessary for the issuance of the licence and/or has contravened section 98 of the NTA, 1987.
This Decision shall form part of Licence No. 920202 and shall remain affixed thereto as long as the said Decision is in force.

Facing growth, Franklin's road fees could go up 91 percent
FRANKLIN – With a booming construction market and growing population, Franklin may dramatically increase its road improvement fees by an average of about 91 percent.
Franklin leaders use money collected from "road-impact fees" to cover future road improvement costs that come from new developments. Those fees, collected by Franklin since 1988, vary based on what kinds of developments are being added — such as single-family homes, apartments or churches.
While the city has raised its fees in recent years, Franklin needs even more money to cover increased road-building costs and to help cope with more residents. More than 20,000 residents moved to Franklin in each of the last two decades, records show. About 29,000 more people are expected to move to Franklin in each of the next two decades.
Despite the growing demands on roads, some city aldermen are concerned that new, proposed rates are too steep and might limit future development while raising the costs for buyers.
"There's just going to come a time that it's too expensive to build in Franklin," said Alderman Brandy Blanton.
The spike in fees are tied to Franklin for the first time charging for the costs of updating the city's collector roads, which are its lower-capacity city roads. Costs for arterial roads, which typically have more traffic, have always been included in the fees.
Under the new plan, churches and schools — which typically attract high traffic —would see the biggest percentage increases in fees of any development category with 128 percent increases for each. The fees for single family detached homes would increase by 95 percent.
Aldermen first discussed the matter this week and must still decide if they're going to follow the proposal.
While the increases worried some, others are confident Franklin's growth won't be affected by higher fees.
"Nobody didn't build here," said Alderman Margaret Martin, about past increases. "I don't see it stopping."
Reach Kevin Walters at 615-771-5472 and on Twitter @thekevinwalters.
Impact fees
Single family detached fees in Franklin are $4,227. That would potentially increase $8,251.
The city currently charges $2,406 per 1,000 square feet for a church. That amount would jump to $5,476 per 1,000 square feet, under the new proposal.
For elementary/secondary schools, Franklin charges $1,185 per 1,000 square feet. That amount would go to $2,697 per 1,000 square foot under the new plan.

Austin Wedding Photography | Photos by Martina Villarreal
It's my first blog post for the summer! I took some time off in May to prepare for the Bridal Extravaganza show in June. I'm happy to say, the show was a big success! Now, I'm back to sharing more love stories and beautiful austin wedding photography. I'm so excited to share these sneak peeks from Neddie Ann & Camden's wedding on June 17th.
Neddie Ann and Camden's story began about three years ago, when they met in college. They both attended Texas A&M University in College Station. When they first met, they quickly became friends. Camden knew almost right away that Neddie Ann was special. They have been together ever since! Both graduated college and are now living in Austin.
They were married at the University Christian Church, located in the heart of downtown Austin. It's a beautiful location, across from the picturesque Littlefield Fountain in front of the UT Tower. They celebrated the rest of the evening with their friends and family at Freedman's, enjoying a BBQ dinner where they shared stories and congratulatory toasts. They also had a delicious cake (of course) and they danced the night away.

Installing Peel And Stick Stone Aspect Tiles
I've been busy in my kitchen installing peel and stick stone tiles. I'm sure your wondering what are peel and stick tiles and do they look real. Well these peel and stick stone tiles from Aspect are the real deal. They are made from real stone not fake plastic but real stone. They come in 5.9 in x 23.6 inch sheets. If you're thinking about adding a kitchen back splash this product will work perfectly and they are easy to install. Even if you're not a DIYer you can easily install these. (This is a sponsored post please see disclosure policy)
I love the look of stone but you can also choose glass or metal tiles as well. I'm going to share how simple this was to do. For this project you don't need expensive tools. I used tin cutters but you can cut these tiles with a saw.
Supplies Needed:
- Aspect peel and stick tiles
- Tin snippers
- Table saw if you prefer
- Power Grab adhesive ( not necessary but you can use this if you want an extra bond)
Before you start your project give your surface a fresh coat of paint and let it dry for several days. You want a nice clean surface to work on. I applied my tiles to a flat painted surface. These will stick to a semi-gloss wall but my personal opinion is that I would use an extra adhesive as I mentioned above in the supplies if you are working with a semi-gloss painted wall.
Lay your tiles out to decide how you want to hang these. I really didn't have a huge choice in my kitchen because I have very little space and I also have lots of outlets. I didn't get fancy with my layout. I started from the bottom of my wall as I was installing the peel and stick tiles. I did not place the peel and stick tiles on my counter backsplash. The reason that I didn't is because I am planning on updating my counters and I didn't want the tiles to get messed up. If you are not planning on changing out your counters then make sure that you place the tiles on and evenly with your counter backsplash. I have a fix for this that I shared in my video.
Installing peel and stick stone tiles was super easy. It's as easy as it sounds. You simply peel and stick them. Any sections that need to be cut can be done using tin snipers or a table saw. The hardest part for me was cutting around the outlets because I have so many. I don't know why the builder put in so many. We don't use all of these on a regular basis. It really was overkill. When you are figuring out how much to cut around the outlet take your time. Measure and remeasure. I shared how I measured mine in my video.
One more tip make sure before you start your project as you are ordering your tiles decide where you want your tiles to end. My cabinets and counters are not even. So I decided to take the tiles out to the end of my counters. You can add a decorative trim at the ends. But I decided to use the tiles and create my own edge. On each end I added a row of tiles vertically. This capped off the ends of my wall. It looks neat and finished. I also shared how I did this in my video. Make sure to watch it at the end of this post.
To finish my walls I had a few gaps at the bottom and top. I added caulk to clean it all up. Let talk a look at what my kitchen looked like before and after this project.
I love the look of these stone tiles in my kitchen. The darker color is a nice contrast to my cabinets and walls. They are stone but have a weathered wood look when I'm looking at them from a distance. It goes perfectly with my new wallpaper I added recently. Make sure you read more about my peel and stick wallpaper project.
These stone tiles from Aspect are very forgiving. I was able to layer these at the bottom and they look natural. These are not all flat. Some of the tiles are bumped out to give it an authentic 3-d look. Just as it would look if you used individual stone tiles. I think these would look amazing on a kitchen island surround too!
I have much more to share in my kitchen, family room and our bedroom. Lots of little changes going on in all of these rooms. But it shows how you can transform a room on a budget. You also don't have to be a professional to do these projects. Watch the video below for a step by step tutorial.

Three young men in Maryland kidnapped and raped a classmate, according to cops, who say a 13-year-old girl orchestrated the plot.
Victor Antonio Gonzalez-Guttierres, 19, and 17-year-old Edgar Natanal Chicas-Hernandez are both in custody, but Frederick cops say that the third suspect remains at large.
The female victim said she was grabbed from behind as she was walking home earlier this month, according to cops and charging documents obtained by the Frederick News-Post. The three men told the girl they were acting on orders from another girl, according to the newspaper.
"We believe that the younger acquaintance did know that this was going to occur," Detective Sgt. Andrew Alcorn told WBAL.
The victim told cops she was taken to an apartment, where she was raped by two of the suspects as the third used a cellphone to record the attack. She recognized the two attackers as Gonzalez-Guttierres and Chicas-Hernandez, but the third suspect had his face covered, according to the newspaper. She said she did not recognize his voice.
"This was not a case of mistaken identity or random attack," Alcorn told WBAL. "This was definitely they knew each other. As to their motive, we don't know the answer to that question."
The suspects would let the girl go, but warned her, "next time it will be worse" if you tell the police, according to the News-Post.
The girl who cops say may have planned the attack offered to give footage of the rape to others for "[one] night of pleasure," according to the newspaper.
Investigators say she had concocted a plan to extort the victim for money before the attack and discussed it on social media, the News-Post reported. The girl denied involvement in the rape plot.
"There is some evidence that this victim [the older girl] was indirectly threatened before the incident," Detective Joe Palkovic told the News-Post. "We're still evaluating that information and investigating it."
Gonzalez-Guttierres and Chicas-Hernandez were hit with a series of charges, including rape and kidnapping. ICE said in a statement on Thursday that the agency has lodged an immigration detainer for Gonzalez-Guttierres.

Comment on Beef and Ale Stew with Buttermilk Scallion Dumplings by jillian.
Hi Gwen,
I reviewed my cooking notes and even referred to the original recipe and it's done just as I have it written in the post above. I wonder if perhaps your beef wasn't as fatty and therefore didn't yield as much jus? There are many variables in making a stew that could change the outcome and I always like to have a little stock or broth on hand if extra liquid is necessary. (Though here I like it with just the beer). Cooking is not an exact science, but I assure you no trickery was unemployed in getting these photos. Just practice, luck and good lighting! Thanks for reading and commenting and I hope you come back!

Small and medium size businesses, in order to thrive have to do smart business moves, and outsourcing some of its regular operations including finance and accounting are purely a good business move. Small and medium-size companies delegating payroll and accounting to payroll service providers give more opportunities to the think-tank teams in pursuing business goals while still fulfilling commitments for the workers compensations and tax liabilities. Many business-success stories had been pointed to the long term benefits of outsourcing and on their part, payroll services providers in Australia had done a lot of help for small and medium size businesses in Australia.
Long term benefits
It has been proven that payroll outsourcing had helped many small and medium size companies in Australia especially when handled by the right payroll service company. One of the benefits is cost effectiveness as it can reduce company's direct processing cost. The company also enjoys an in-depth payroll and accounting expertise. Delegating its payroll system to payroll service providers also results to higher productivity rate as employees' work load is lessened and therefore more energy is focused to other important tasks. Payroll preparation and all is definitely time-consuming and delegating it to an outsider allows a company to save its time and efforts.
In-depth benefits
Mismanagement of payroll results to lawsuits and loss of money. Australia is among countries with comprehensive salary taxes and legislation and companies must have a mastery and proficiency in calculating. Payroll service providers in Australia had liberated many companies of such a burden by providing proficient payroll system that fits the organization. Hence, provides payroll solutions that lift off compliance risks as well as encompassing all crucial elements of payroll management. Payroll solutions are designed to fit any organization regardless of numbers of employees.

General information and History on Dania Beach Florida
The historic roots of the first city in Broward County date back to the 1880's, when much of what is now the FEC railroad line was laid through the area. In recognition of this transportation advantage, a pioneer and developer named W. C. Valentine planned a settlement called Modello and 12 Danish families moved from Chicago to settle there in 1898-1899.
The first home in the Town of Dania was built by A.C. Frost, for whom a park is now named. Frost built the first general store in 1902 and became Modello's first postmaster. He also built and donated the Towns first two schools. The following year, Dania Methodist Church was erected, becoming the City's first place of worship. A.C Front is considered to be the founder of the community.
At that time, most of the people in the area were Danes who had moved from the Chicago area of Illinois. The first name for the community was Modello after the Model Land Company which operated here, but the name had to be changed when they found another place near Miami which had the same name. The new name chosen was Dania after the early settlers ancestry. Dania was known for its tomato farms and packing houses at the turn of the 20th century.
Early immigrants prospered in tomato farming and, as early as 1910, the Florida East Coast Railway was shipping to northern U.S. cities from "The Tomato Capital of the World".
Just as the Tomato Industry was fading, a new type of commerce --the antique business-- arrived, when Genevieve and Willard Ely set up shop in 1945. It took 10 years for other antique businesses to follow, but it wasn't long thereafter that Broward's first incorporated city once again gained fame, this time as the Antique Capital of the South.
Incorporation came for Dania in 1904. In 2001, the city annexed several unincorporated areas of Broward County increasing the population by about 3,600 people. The city of Dania Beach has a total area of 6.31 square miles 6.09 square miles of it is land and .22 square miles of it (3.49%) is water.
Dania Beach is the location of one of the largest Jai alai frontons in the United States, Dania Jai-Alai. It is also the location for an amusement center named Boomers! (formerly Grand Prix Race-O-Rama), and home to the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum.

Updated 5 p.m.
Nashville must hold its special election between May 21 and 25 — two and a half months sooner than anticipated — according to a ruling Tuesday from the Tennessee Supreme Court.
The swift decision — just 24 hours after oral arguments in the case — reverses a local court's decision and will shift the election from early August. The court said that the Davidson County Election Commissioner can choose a day in the last week of May, just before the Memorial Day holiday.
Following the resignation of former Mayor Megan Barry, Metro had argued that the next mayor should be chosen on its upcoming Aug. 2 ballot. But in a unanimous opinion written by Chief Justice Jeff Bivins, the court found the Metro Charter requires a special election in this situation.
The court then refers to state law that requires special elections to be held between 75 and 80 days after notification of a vacancy for the position of mayor.
The full opinion is online at Wallace v. Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, et al.
The case was brought by Ludye Wallace, a former Metro Council member who now heads the Nashville chapter of the NAACP. Wallace, who is also running as a candidate for mayor, took issue with the interpretation of the Metro charter by the Metro Legal Department and Davidson County Election Commission, which ruled last month that the election should take place in August.
Wallace argued that a longer, more expensive mayoral campaign would hurt candidates like himself. In its decision, the court also pointed out that the Metro Charter stipulates that since the Office of Mayor must be nonpartisan, elections should not be held in conjunction with partisan elections, like those taking place in August.
We are grateful that the Tennessee Supreme Court has issued a powerful, persuasive, and unanimous opinion vindicating Mr. Wallace's claim that the Charter is clear and that Metro Government cannot unilaterally nullify a referendum supported by 83% of voters.
— Daniel Horwitz (@Scot_Blog) April 10, 2018
In his tweet, attorney Daniel Horwitz is referencing a Metro Charter amendment approved in 2007 that says a vacancy in the Metro Council or mayor's office requires a special election when there's more than a year left in the unexpired term. Mayor Barry had 18 months to go in office.
What Next?
A total of 14 people have qualified to run for mayor, but Tuesday's decision now sets a new qualifying deadline of Thursday. In fighting the special election, the Davidson County Election Commission argued that it would cost $1 million to carry out. Metro attorney Lora Fox also said during oral arguments Monday it would be "physically possible, but very difficult" to pull off a special election in less than two months.
Mayor David Briley accepted the decision.
"The Supreme Court has ruled, and I'll be ready for the election," he said in a statement. "I appreciate all the support I've already received, and I'm looking forward to a strong campaign over the next six weeks.
State Rep. Harold Love, Jr., who is also running, says the compressed timeline will require everyone to narrow their focus.
"You have to think clearly about your message you're going to put out there to the people, but I'm up for it. I'm ready," he says. "I think this is a wonderful opportunity for us to get out there and talk about the issues facing our city, and that's important."
More Election Movement
The same legal justification used to move the mayoral election up could also apply to a vacancy on the Metro Council.
District 1 Councilman Nick Leonardo was appointed to an open judgeship in January. But instead of a special election, the Davidson County Election Commission decided to hold a vote in August.
Attorney Jamie Hollin, who is representing mayoral candidate Ludye Wallace, says the panel needs to align the District 1 race with the new special election for mayor.
"If they don't fix it immediately, we'll be in court again," he said.
The Tennessee Supreme Court unanimously sided with Hollin, who is representing mayoral candidate Ludye Wallace. They point to a 2007 amendment to the Metro Charter, which requires a special election if there's more than a year left in the term.
This is a developing story and will be updated.

Architecture In Helsinki
The Australian indie pop ensemble Architecture in Helsinki hail from Fitzroy, Melbourne, and have counted multi-instrumentalists Cameron Bird, James Cecil, Gus Franklin, Isobel Knowles, Jamie Mildren, Sam Perry, Tara Shackell, and Kellie Sutherland among their ranks. The band's musical arsenal is even bigger than its roster, featuring instruments as diverse as analog synths and samplers, glockenspiel, tuba, clarinet, and recorder along with the more predictable drums, bass, and guitar. Architecture in Helsinki began playing in 2000, crafting a mix of indie, electronic, and pop that they recorded and occasionally performed live. The collective began recording its debut album, Fingers Crossed, in 2002 in a variety of places ranging from beach houses to proper studios; Bar/None released the album in spring 2004. Following a hectic year of touring and recording, the group turned around another album, In Case We Die, in 2005. The release drew glowing reviews, fixing Architecture in Helsinki as one of that year's most promising and idiosyncratic indie acts. Frontman and primary songwriter Bird relocated to Brooklyn a year later, where he and producer James Cecil put the finishing touches on the group's third effort, Places Like This. The album was released on Polyvinyl in 2007. Bird returned to Australia and the group, now a quintet including Perry, Mildren, Sutherland, and Franklin, released the That Beep single in 2008. They recorded their fourth album in their studio, Buckingham Palace, over the course of two years. The result was Moment Bends, which was released in early 2011. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

I'm taking care of Mr. Baby tomorrow so I'm staying overnight in MA. On the drive up I listened to a podcast of "This American Life." I think the title of the episode was "Starting from Scratch." My favorite segment of the episode was about a guy who came up with the idea of creating, from the ground up, a cable network entirely devoted to puppies as a change of pace from the usual TV fare- no words, no people, just puppies.
Sounds good to me.

If you've noticed an overall pattern of randomness in this sudden burst of posting I've done, you're on to something. I'm just trying to show up and post every day. Vamos a ver... we'll see what comes of it.
I'm excited about dinner (partly because Jim is cooking it!) so I thought I'd post about that.
We're having:
The tempeh won't actually be smokey because we leave out the 2 tablespoons of liquid smoke that the recipe calls for. I don't like foods that taste smokey--probably for the best.
I discovered Veganomicon in our local library and we have loved every recipe we've tried so far. This "we" includes Anna (daughter) and Ray (son-in-law), neither of whom are vegan--although they do like tempeh. Anna is the one who first introduced me to it.
I've also been enjoying recipes from Vegan with a Vengeance which Anna bought me last week as a present. I'm interested to hear what she thinks of the Tempeh Reuben recipe she's planning to try. Just FYI there are plenty of recipes for things other than tempeh in both cookbooks-- it's just a coincidence that the two recipes I mention here are tempeh based.
Here's Jim cooking as Patches looks on, and yes, that "counter" he is cooking on is a clothes dryer--how annoying it that! We live in an old house that needs lots and lots of work. Eventually we plan for our kitchen to be more kitchen-like.

For those who may have wondered I'm still alive (which is excellent, if I do say so myself!). Here it is October aka month of dreaded pink marketing crapola (again!) and it seems that I left off saying something about triathlon training (which ended up not happening because my knee just wasn't having it).
Still lots of other things have happened. Awesome grandson was born in August. We had a good growing season at the office/pool garden, including tomatoes that didn't get the blight. I've adopted a vegan diet and don't see myself ever going back to animal foods. It's snowed TWICE in the past week. I've started knitting again. The dogs are well, including Gus, who at thirteen seems to have gotten some of the youthful spring back in his step now that the weather is cool. I am also feeling more energetic, with a little more time to spare than I had over the spring and summer and therefore picking up where I left off.

As you might guess from this post title the knee is doing much better. I saw the orthopedist yesterday and had the stitches out. He was pretty satisfied with how the knee is coming along, although he does think that at least a couple of physical therapy sessions would be helpful. I'm having a little more difficulty, compared to what most people experience after this type of surgery, straightening the leg. He said I can do a couple of sessions and then evaluate whether to just do whatever exercises/program they give me on my own or whether it would be better to keep going for a full course of 10-12 sessions.
The most satisfying part of the visit was having him go over what he'd done and getting his opinion that going back to running (slowly after building up with a walking, then jogging program, plus the rehab) at any level I choose to should be no problem. Crystal and I are signed up for our second Danskin Triathlon (end of July). I'm confident that I'll be able to do it.
Patches and I celebrated this good news and kicked off triathlon training yesterday with two 15 minute walks up and down our closest dirt road. This morning we were really ambitious and walked a full two mile loop. Now we're reaping the benefits- Patches is asleep on the couch and I just feel BETTER. Gus and Wendy had a walk too, but a shorter one, kicking off the start of their canine weight loss and fitness program- sorely needed after this past winter of not getting nearly enough walks, between the weather and my knee problems. It was so great to get out in the sun and enjoy the signs of spring that are suddenly showing themselves everywhere- sprouts of green coming up on the roadsides, budding trees, ducks on the ponds. Today we saw mergansers- can't remember if they were the hooded or common. Yesterday on one of our walks we saw two piliated woodpeckers. For more on our local birds see Crystal's blog.
*I just checked Crystal's bird photos. It was the hooded mergansers we saw- on Rebecca and Michele's pond.

Today marks the 5th day since the meniscus and tibia cartilage trimming and I am finally turning the corner. The shower prohibition ended this morning so in addition to feeling a little better (more on that in a minute) I am also clean. Showers are so taken for granted and under-appreciated for the luxury (both as a pleasure and as a major indulgence in terms of the resources they use) that they really are. I saved a lot of water this week with my washcloth baths and the one hair washing I did at the kitchen sink. It dawned on me, during this at the sink shampooing, that when I was growing up people used to often wash their hair at the kitchen sink. I don't think people do this anymore. I wonder why?
For the most part I've spent the day lying down with my leg up with the calf well wrapped. The wrap makes a huge difference in cutting down on the pain. The rest and elevation seems to have worked its magic. Suddenly this afternoon, for the first time since even before the surgery, I found that I was able to walk without a limp. This was pretty exciting since the whole point of doing all this was to have a functional knee again. Although I'm still not up to spending a lot of time on my feet, I finally feel like I'm headed in the right direction. My plan is to keep doing what I'm doing, with more walking added in as I can tolerate it. I'm still tired- like really wiped out tired- from the systemic impact of being put to sleep and having power tools used inside a major joint. Although the holes they make are really little this stuff takes its toll. Hopefully the recovery process will start to speed up over the next couple of days. I have to teach Tuesday night and it will be little tough doing it if I don't feel a lot better than I do now.
Jim is making dinner again, another soup, this time with potatoes from the Brookfield Farm. This weekend is the last winter share pick-up. We'll have to go tomorrow or we'll be out of luck. It won't be long until the Foodbank Farm opens for the season and we'll start seeing all those greens again.
The dogs continue to get along. Patches is a joy and a nuisance- smart, sweet, and fun, but also good at finding trouble and finding it fast. She's so big and so agile that she can overcome almost any barrier. Put up a gate and she just leaps over it. If she wants something on a counter, say a stick of butter, she can just help herself. Just now while Jim was cooking she got one of my sweaters, luckily an old one, and chewed part of the collar off. Once I'm back on my feet there's going to be some serious dog proofing around here. Good thing she's crate trained or we'd really be in trouble.

I had the knee surgery yesterday morning and it went well, although I am not exactly reaping the benefits just yet. Yesterday I felt great which led me to think I'd been the recipient of a miracle cure, when in reality I'd just been the recipient of lots and lots of really good drugs, including an anti-inflammatory and plenty of local anesthetic put right into the joint before I woke up. Today has been a bit tougher and I'm told tomorrow will likely be similar. Oh, well. The offending torn cartilage has been cleaned up and I should be getting 100% function back once it heals, including back to running. This is hard to imagine right now when I'm living from one dose of Vicodin to the next, but it's definitely something to look forward to. Despite the temporary misery I'm glad I had the surgery because the problems in there were not going to fix themselves.
I really misjudged what the recovery from this would be like. My surgery experience up until now was limited to the mastectomies. As awful as the idea of having your breast chopped off might be and for all the disconcerting pity responses it tends to elicit, it's actually not very hard to recover from. I didn't even need painkillers afterwards. This knee thing almost requires a home health aide. Really. I'm sitting here with Estelle's walker next to me, and I'm grateful to have it.
The dogs are getting along better which is a huge relief for us. Gus seems to be accepting Patches as part of the family and has been close to her a few times today with no attacks. I think our close supervision and clear, strong messages that attacking her is not okay have been very helpful.
Patches will definitely be a great running dog- she needs a couple of runs a day at this point so I better hurry up and get over this knee thing. She's been pretty lively around the house- lots of energy and creativity. She likes to collect things, especially if she's a little bored- you can see her looking around for something to carry off- a pen, a DVD, baby clothes, a jacket, a book off the shelf. She hasn't chewed anything up...yet, and she's been good about handing over whatever she's taken in return for a Nylabone or plushy AKC toy. None of this is unexpected but it sure is a workout.
Calling all local friends. Please don't hesitate to come by if you want to play with her or go for a walk!

I am having a much lazier day than I intended, surrounded here by sleeping dogs. I had all sorts of ambitions for this afternoon, but I'm tired. Yesterday was a busy day, with a lot of excitement, including some dog fights. The dog fights were short, because I made them short. Today they're not happening because I've taken control and there's no opportunity for fighting.
Let me back track a little bit. Yesterday we adopted a new dog, Patches, and brought her home. This has been in the works for the last two weeks. Although she's female, friendly, and gentle, with good people and dog social skills, Gus does not approve. His aggression used to be limited strictly to other male dogs but now, in his old age, he's apparently extended this insanity to ANY other dog. We took great care in our introductions- had them meet outdoors on neutral turf, honored Gus' place as top dog in our feeding routines and giving him the attention he's used to- all this to no avail (so far). Given any kind of a chance he goes in for the kill, right for Patches' throat. After a couple of incidents yesterday it was clear that we needed to institute tight controls. As of late in the day yesterday, Gus is ALWAYS on a leash under my control or in the crate when Patches is out loose. At other times Gus has run of the house while she's in the crate. This has worked well so far and they both seem more relaxed. Patches has made friends with Wendy and initiated some play with her. Gus has been minding his own business more and not watching Patches' every move while obviously plotting how to kill her, and we've been praising him for ignoring her. I'm optimistic that with time and good supervision they'll get to the point where they're fine together but we have some work to do in order to get there.
Although Gus may not be so keen on her, it was love at first sight between Patches and me. She's an awesome dog, everything we'd been told she would be and more- pretty, sweet, friendly, SMART, and very, very curious. In the past 24 hours since she arrived she's made a great adjustment and has remained a happy dog in spite of the assasination attempts by Gus. She should be lots of fun to train, and I think I'll be able to do things with her that I've not been able to do with any of my other dogs, like fun clicker training and agility kinds of stuff.
This will have to wait a little bit because I'm having ARTHROSCOPIC KNEE SURGERY tomorrow, FINALLY. I have to be at the hospital by 7:30 am and the surgery is at around 9am. The plan based on the MRI is that the surgeon, Dr. Glenney, will trim off some torn pieces of meniscus that are catching in the joint, maybe do some repair if the tearing is in an area with enough blood supply for healing to be possible (unlikely). I should be home by late afternoon, probably without crutches but with a big immobilizing brace on just for the first 24 hours. After that the brace comes off, then it's bandages for 5 days, then in a couple of weeks I get the stitches out. It sounds fairly possible that I may be walking better and more comfortably by the end of this week that I have for the last three or so months. Vamos a ver... I'm expecting to be back at work seeing clients as usual on Wednesday.I've heard that some people are ready for light jogging as soon as a month after the surgery- sounds almost too good to be true but I hope it is. I am so eager to start enjoying the outdoors again- walking, biking to work, working in the yard, RUNNING, all that stuff.
Jim is taking Monday and Tuesday off so we'll have a little long weekend together. My experience is that you can make these things into little vacations given the right attitude and expectations. Tuesday I have to go see Parker at Dana-Farber for my regular, every 3-4 month follow-up. Some people sweat it about these visits but I never do. It's more likely that if something (i.e. metastisis) were going on, that I would be the one to notice it. The only thing they do there that "interests" me is labwork- particularly the liver function tests and tumor markers, which can be early indicators of possible "trouble." Anyhow, it is what it is. Mostly I like the social aspects of the trip, seeing my former chemotherapy nurses, Cathy and Ellen, the phelbotomy techs, and going to the Greek restaurant down the street or to Whole Foods in Framingham on the way home.
These days I find that I can usually take the approach to worry that the Dalai Lama recommends. If you can do something about a problem then just do whatever that something is and don't waste your efforts and energy on worry. If you can't do something about a problem, why worry because what's the point? It won't do any good and will just make you miserable. This can be more easily said than done, but for some reason these days I'm actually able to do this and my life is a lot better for it.
I was going to start Zometa infusions on Tuesday but we're holding off for a month or two to let my jaw heal a little more where I had the extractions. No sense in inviting trouble when you can easily avoid it.
Today Jim is out car shopping with Kate, looking for a replacement for the car that got totaled when someone crashed into her this winter. He's also checking out a VW camper that's for sale and that we found intriguing.
Time to do some chores while I can walk around semi-easily. I'd like to rest up from the knee repair in a fairly tidy house. If it's anything like my last surgery I should feel pretty well afterwards. I'm bringing my anesthesia record from Windham so they can try and do basically the same mix of drugs. I woke up from that last surgery feeling great, unlike previous times when I felt like crap, sick and freaked out which is not much fun. Spinal anesthesia is an option for this knee repair and evidently lots of people choose this route, which I find surprising. Being asleep and waking up with the surgery all done and feeling pretty normal seems a lot less weird and creepy that having a needle put in your back and being not being able to feel or move your legs for a few hours, including even after the surgery is over. Shudder. Thanks but no thanks, Dr. Glenney. Wake me up when it's done and you can show me the pictures and tell me all about what you did. If I want to watch an arthroscopic meniscus removal/repair I can find one on YouTube.

She is a friend, a sister, a wife, a lover, a giver, a receiver, and soon to be mother.
I have this journey I feel like needs to be shared, in search of my role and place as a woman. I've only just begun to appreciate that being a woman, provides me with a unique perspective on how things occur around me and the cause and effect it has with me as a woman. I think, it could be shared by other women. Especially those of us who are also trying to enlighten ourselves through various practices, be it awareness, yoga, binge drinking and other wise.
I've been through some hilarious, some deeply sad things as a girl and now a woman, which i think warrants a space to exist. I don't really know how affecting it is, to people around me, but i love the female bonds i have, and i think connecting with other women who think like me, or maybe are on their way to thinking like me or better yet on the next part of their journey might allow me to be further 'eyes wide open'.
Let's do this?

what would happen if you didn't show up?/
A couple of years ago--about six months into my leadership role at an arts nonprofit--I didn't show up for something big.
It was, in fact, the biggest event of the year, a particularly unique and amazing kids' folk art festival--held on a local ballfield and beloved by pretty much everyone who's ever been. I had been working with our team on it for months. It's a huge deal for us, budget-wise, brand-wise, and mission-wise.
Since the festival is two counties over from where I live, my family and I were staying the weekend with awesome friends who live near the field. I was out there from morning until dark for set-up on Friday with a whole crew of kind folks who were helping out. That night, back at our friends' house, I had a lovely drink, laughed a lot, and went to bed for an early start the next day.
The start was earlier than I predicted.
I woke up at about 3AM and spent the next four hours curled up on our friends' bathroom floor, dragging myself between there and the bed to nurse my daughter when she woke up. The flu.
I'm no wimp. I've performed kids' shows with bronchitis, an entire run of a show with a horrible stomach virus, and Shakespeare less than two weeks after my dad died. But, dude. I could not do this.
My husband took the petty cash I had on hand for the festival up to the field and let everyone know I was out.
And I didn't show up.
And here's what happened: We had record attendance. Everyone worked their butts off. The kids had an amazing day. I was totally embarrassed. And the world continued to revolve.
Fast forward to last week.
I was preparing for our annual Board retreat. I kept thinking about the parts of the prep I wasn't going to get to, the things I hadn't done ahead of time, the exact timing I wasn't sure would work out.
And then, in a moment of overwhelm, this occurred to me: What would happen if I just didn't show up? If I couldn't show up? If I wasn't there at all?
And the answer was that they could have had a valuable day without me. They had the agenda. I had asked folks to lead the discussions. They are smart people.
Would it have been just like I drew it up? No. Would they have had questions they had to put on hold for my feedback? Yes. But it would have been okay. Better than okay. It would have still been good.
Even though I knew I would indeed be showing up, just acknowledging that it would be okay if I didn't show up gave me the space I needed to finish preparing--without getting paralyzed by all the things I hadn't done.
So: If you're getting overwhelmed by something you're leading, something big and important, try just asking yourself the question: What would happen if I couldn't show up?
I'm not suggesting that we actually not show up--though that might be the right choice in some cases.
I'm just suggesting that we ask the question.
We may just find a little opening of space in our answer.

What is it?
The Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-Army) is a major new information system that is improving every warehouse, supply room, motor pool and property book office in the Total Army. Fielding is accomplished using the wave approach in order to not shock the supply chain and cause disruption to ongoing operations. Wave 1 replaces the Standard Army Retail Supply System and Wave 2 replaces the Property Book Unit Supply-Enhanced and the Standard Army Maintenance System.
Why is this important to the Army?
GCSS-Army enhances mission command by allowing leaders to more rapidly and accountably build and maintain unit readiness. The centerpiece of building unit readiness is the ability to make decisions based on accurate and reliable logistics data. GCSS-Army is web-enabled, allowing users to access the same data from the same source, anywhere in the world. Readiness is directly tied to operations; without one you cannot have the other.
What has the Army done?
The Army has been fielding GCSS-Army Wave 1 for the past several years. We are 88 percent fielded and by December 2015 fielding is projected to be complete. The Combined Arms Support Command and the GCSS-Army product manager have provided support to ensure units received the necessary training and deployment support, and captured lessons learned for further fielding groups. One such lesson learned is that GCSS-Army is not "just another fielding," it must be treated as an operation and prioritized on the same level as major exercises and deployments. Units have demonstrated the positive impact that operational planning and leader engagement can have.
Wave 2 fielding began in January 2015 and is projected to go through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. One of the first units to receive Wave 2, the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, successfully deployed to the Joint Readiness Training Center. The deployment allowed the Army to put stress on the GCSS-Army system and capture lessons learned in a combat-like environment. GCSS-Army proved itself capable of aiding leaders to quantifiably see and measure equipment and supply chain readiness.
What continued efforts are planned for the future?
Over the next three years, the rest of the Total Army will be fielded GCSS-Army Wave 2 and begin employing it at Combat Training Centers and operational deployments. Additionally, the Army is developing a Business Intelligence capability that will use information from GCSS-Army and other Enterprise Resource Planning tools to extract critical data for decision makers at all levels. Business Intelligence will allow users to query massive amounts of data and quickly receive information essential to maintain unit readiness.

WANT Apothecary Now Curates for the Globe via eCommerce Initiative/
By Helen Siwak
For the past several years, Montreal-based multi-brand retail concept WANT Apothecary carefully selected neighbourhoods for its tasteful retail stores of highly curated and coveted products. The company now operates five locations in North America: Nomad in New York City, South Granville in Vancouver, Lawrence Park and Rosedale in Toronto, and Westmount in Montreal.
Barely a year has passed and WANT Apothecary has announced that they are expanding online and sharing their remarkable curation and omni-channel shopping experience across the globe.
WANT Apothecary is the brainchild of WANT Les Essentiels co-founders, brothers Byron and Dexter Peart (who sold their stake in September) as well as Mark Wiltzer, and Jacqueline Gelber. Loosely inspired by the atmosphere of a 19th-century pharmacy, the concept shop presents a unique opportunity for customers to discover a trusted resource for their style and beauty needs. The online shop is carefully curated by the same team that introduced the WANT Apothecary concept boutiques to five of the top shopping cities in the world. Products include women's and men's ready-to-wear as well as accessories, leather goods, footwear, and various gift items, not to mention an assortment of beauty products (hence the apothecary name).
Collections in the stores are highly curated to reflect the retailer's aesthetic, and each store is typically between 1,700 and 2,000-square-feet to ensure a more intimate experience. Desired international fashion brands such as Acne Studios, Commes des Garçons, Jil Sander, Junya Watanabe, Hommes Plus, Toteme, Fleur du Mal, M. Martin, Aspesi, Xu Zhi, and Filippa K, line the shelves. A carefully edited array of beauty and body-care products including Grown Alchemist, Susanne Kaufmann, Cosmetics 27, Verso Astier de Villatte, and Byredo rounds out the selective offerings.
The online shop will reflect the same design ethos as the retail boutiques and visitors will enjoy personalized service and will be encouraged to confidently pamper themselves with smart fashion, beauty essentials and home wares that "fulfill their daily needs... and WANTs."
