Behold! It is time for the 3rd card of Chanyeol Day aka Day 2 of the EXO Community Challenge! Since I party on the West Coast, there's still time before midnight. In my other cards, I covered Glasses (very important) and Musical Talent (important) so where does that leave us? Hmmm... What's better than sexy, sweaty Yeollie? Tatted up Chanyeol. You're welcome
Chanyeol + Tats + Suspenders = dead. I'm dead. He kills me.
Mmm...ice cream...
Whether the ink is real or not, I can tell Chanyeol is very fond of his ink and that just adds to his appeal. I don't know what it is with this boy. Glasses, tattoos, I'm pretty sure he is just never ugly. Can I have some of that skill?

As tonight is Christmas Eve, you probably already have all of your holiday party looks planned out. But in case you're getting sick of your tried-and-true holiday formula, I have a few last minute looks to help you get out of your Christmas-season rut.
1. The Little Navy Dress
Sure, the LBD still reigns supreme, but there's something about navy that seems more festive to me. A little lace number is classic and covered up enough for family and work events, but with its deep V-neckline and shorter hem, this Saylor NYC (similar here) is still fun and sexy.
2. The Wide Leg Jumpsuit
I've extolled the virtues of jumpsuits before (comfy and cool enough for a night on the town), and this wide-leg version from Halston features just enough sparkle to stand out for the holiday season. Because of its sophisticated-yet-comfortable cut, we suggest saving this one for the BIG Christmas dinner.
3. The Embellished Skirt + Crop Top Combo
Sure...the crop top and skirt look is not a new one. But you can update this look for the holidays by mixing textures; we love the festive embellishments on this skirt, and the little lace hem on this Lucy Paris crop top adds a sophisticated touch.

Nick Herbert visits award winning Oldland Mill
Nick Herbert visited Oldland windmill in Keymer, near Hassocks, on Thursday (16 April) to help promote the restored Mill ahead of National Mills Weekend next month.
The Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Arundel & South Downs was given a tour of the post Mill by Professor Fred Maillardet, a retired engineer and long-time volunteer at the mill, Stuart Meier, Chairman of Oldland Mill Trust, and other members of the restoration team.
They had previously met at the English Heritage Angel Awards. The Oldland Mill team collected the highest honour, the Angel Award, voted for by English Heritage followers and The Telegraph.
Their work to restore the 18th century post windmill has taken almost 40 years and over 100 volunteers to bring the mill back to life.
A Defra grant of £60,000 and further fundraising and charitable donations has enabled the project to near completion, and the trustees are looking forward to seeing the mill producing its own flour on a regular basis.
The National Mills Weekend, held this year on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 May, is an annual festival of England's milling heritage and provides visitors with an opportunity to visit mills, many of which are not usually open to the public.
Oldland Mill will also be hosting a series of open days during the summer months, with the first one of this year being held on Sunday 3 May. See www.oldlandwindmill.co.uk for further details.
Nick Herbert said: "It was an absolute pleasure to visit Oldland Mill again and to see the magnificent restoration work done entirely by volunteers. I learnt a huge amount about the history of the Mill, how it worked and served the local community. It was a fascinating visit which I would recommend to anyone with an interest in our heritage."

PhD Program of Study
Doctoral study in city and regional planning offers the rewards of conducting research and building theory in an applied professional field. By linking theory to practice, students and faculty explore the most important issues facing cities and regions today. Our focus is on building sustainable and vibrant urban environments and communities through interdisciplinary study and research. Our doctoral students have consistently graduated to top academic and other professional careers. We welcome your interest and inquiries.
Program Requirements
The doctoral program has three main components: the coursework, which includes the program core, a major field and a minor field; the comprehensive exams; and the dissertation. The program of study requires a minimum of two years of residency (no fewer than four semesters enrolled for at least six (6) credit hours each excluding summer) devoted to coursework and other preparation for advancement to candidacy. A successful student will demonstrate mastery in these areas and thus be prepared to pursue upper-level careers in government, business, research, and academia. Full details can be found in the PhD Program Handbook.
The program of study requires two years of full-time residency (at least four semesters, excluding summer) devoted to coursework and other preparation for advancement to candidacy. Coursework involves a specialized program of study designed by the student and faculty focusing on a major field within city and regional planning, and on a minor field outside the College of Design. Students complete at least 46 credit hours in their major field, minor field, and the Ph.D. program core requirements, and in various elective courses. Students complete a minimum of 15 semester hours of study in their major field, a minimum of 9 hours in their minor field, and a minimum of 16 hours in the program core.
Descriptions of courses offered in city and regional planning and other programs in the College of Design can be found in the Institute's course catalog.
Major Fields
Each PhD student is admitted to a major area of study. Any change to the major requires review and approval by the PhD faculty.
Requirements for the major are met by satisfactory performance (B or better letter grade) in courses composing not fewer than 15 credit hours. The student's Advisory Committee may require other courses within the College or other units within the University System of Georgia consistent with the student's expressed interest in her selected field of concentration. The courses are expected to provide a full grounding and preparation in both the substance of the field of study and appropriate methods of inquiry and analysis.
Examples of majors pursued by doctoral students in the School of City and Regional Planning include:
- Urban environmental planning
- Urban transportation planning
- Regional development planning
Minor Fields
The purpose of the minor is for the student to demonstrate competence in inquiry in an area of study related to but outside of the School of City and Regional Planning. Requirements for the minor are met by satisfactory performance (defined as a B or better letter grade) in courses composing not fewer than 9 credit hours.
Examples of minors outside the School of City and Regional Planning include:
- Regional economics
- Public health
- Water resources management
Program Core
The Core course requirement is meant to provide students with a basic knowledge of planning theory, regional theory, and research design and methods. The Ph.D. Seminars also have as their purpose to acquaint students with questions, methods, and paradigms of research and with modes of scholarship and pedagogy associated with the city and regional planning and related fields. Requirements include:
- Advanced Planning Theory, three credit hours
- Advanced Urban and Regional Development Theory, three credit hours
- Quantitative Research Design and Methods, three credit hours
- Qualitative Research Design and Methods, three credit hours
- Ph.D. Foundations Seminar, one credit hour
- Ph.D. Planning Seminar, one credit hour each year
Comprehensive Examination
Once students have completed their coursework, with the exception of on-going attendance in Seminar in Advanced Research Design and Methods, they are ready to take the comprehensive examinations. Students focusing in the city and regional planning field of study will be tested in five areas: the student's major field, the student's minor field, planning theory, regional economic theory, and research design and methods. The examination process includes both written and oral testing of a student's mastery of the subjects. Upon successful completion, the student moves on to the dissertation phase of the program.
The doctoral dissertation is a written piece of original scholarship that represents a significant new perspective or contribution in the chosen field of study. The dissertation must be relevant to the field of planning, and either an addition to the fundamental knowledge base in the field of study or a new and better interpretation of facts already known. It must demonstrate that the candidate possesses powers of original thought, talent for research, understanding of theory and methodology, and ability to organize and present findings.

O-Men: Liege's Legion - Liege
Chapter One
© Elaine Levine 2018
Music spilled outside the bar every time the doors opened. Liege stood by his bumper, waiting for a break in traffic so he could cross the street to join his men.
The Fort Collins college crowd was heavy now that the university was back in session. Tired of waiting for a break in traffic, Liege was about to force cars to a stop when something drew his attention.
A man was standing two lanes away, not entirely out of the road. Cars rushed by, driving through him, but nothing diverted the monster's focus from Liege.
Chills like mini razorblades cut through Liege's nerves.
The Matchmaker.
They stared at each other on the dark street, hidden from the eyes of regulars. "Matchmaker" was a piss-poor name for the fiend. He should be the Reaper. The image he projected of himself was skinny and tall, at least seven or eight feet. His bright orange hair was combed straight upward so it stood a hand's length from his skull. His red eyes, lit from within, glowed victoriously in the thickening shadows.
The late September night was overcast. A fog crept close, twisting about the Matchmaker's feet. He slowly lifted his arm and pointed a long finger toward Liege, whose heart began to hurt. He rejected the monster's message, refusing to accept its implications, but no shield any mutant had yet created could resist the Matchmaker's truth.
Liege felt a wave of sorrow. The Matchmaker's singular purpose was connecting a mutant with his mate, even if that meant the death of one or the other, as it always did.
Liege leaned against his SUV's bumper. His lifemate was near; she had to be if the Matchmaker was here. Liege knew with perfect certainty that he would meet the woman, come to know her, love her, and then lose her.
Or so the legend went.
The only way Liege could avoid that outcome was to let the Matchmaker take his life.
The pain blossomed across Liege's chest as he continued to resist the message. He flattened a hand over his heart, trying to halt the pain from spreading up his neck, down his arms. Tears welled in his eyes. He didn't want to die, but better that than to live with the terrible price of the Matchmaker's curse.
Liege couldn't breathe, couldn't support his own weight. He closed his eyes and hit his knees on the wet road, then slumped forward, his arms folded around himself, his forehead pressed to the ground.
He thought of the men he led. How would they get along without him? His mind went to the lifemate he would never meet, the woman his soul apparently already loved.
The pain ended instantly.
He gasped and pulled a ragged breath, then turned his head, shooting a look across the road. The apparition was gone. Liege collapsed on the pavement. The shield he had in place protected him from the rush of cars. Each one in his lane slowed then moved over to avoid him. He was making a traffic jam and none of the regulars even knew why they couldn't drive near him.
He needed a minute to get his breath before getting out of the road.
The motherfucking Matchmaker hadn't accepted his surrender. And now Liege's fate was sealed.
A long few minutes later, he hoisted himself to his feet. Leaning against the side of his car, he took inventory of his body and mind. It seemed he was himself again, just wiped out.
Forget searching for Omni World Order operative Brett Flynn; Liege and his men should hunt the Matchmaker and send him to the other side.
Liege crossed the street and headed to the bar where his men waited. But instead of entering, he looked farther down the sidewalk where there were more shops and restaurants. For some reason, he felt drawn to that area. He couldn't tell if he was operating under his own volition or via an external compulsion. There was only one being who could exert that control over him: the Matchmaker.
He had a bad feeling about what he was heading toward. Her. His lifemate. Fuck, he'd wanted to ignore the Matchmaker's message. He'd survived the encounter. He wanted to just get back to the life he'd been living. He didn't want to meet the woman, didn't want the metric fuck ton of pain loving her would bring him—or the death that loving him would bring her.
He stopped outside a bar and grill that served reimagined American cuisine, resisting the pull to go in there. He told himself he had no intention of seeking the woman out, though he knew she was inside. Her energy called to him. He had to resist—he couldn't destroy her by joining their lives.
Maybe he should just find out who she was so he could stay away from her.
He wrapped his energy in a mirage that caused anyone looking at the space where he was to see it as it had been before he was there, effectively making himself invisible. Inside the restaurant he shut his eyes and felt for the woman's energy.
He heard a familiar female laughter at a table; his daughter was here.
He went over to her table. She looked happy, but he could also feel an undercurrent of tension inside her. She was with two friends. A pretty brunette and a white ball of light.
What the hell?
Liege glared at the luminous woman sitting on the opposite side of the booth from the other two. He forced himself to see beyond her brilliant light to the aura it hid, a bright pink with touches of gold and green. He looked beneath that to the woman herself. A white female with blond hair, blue eyes, and fading freckles on her nose and cheeks.
Aw, fuck. The Matchmaker was right. She was his light. Unless…she wasn't. She was friends with his daughter. What if the Matchmaker and the Omnis had gotten together for this new trick?
If she was working with the Omnis, then his daughter was in danger.
Liege turned and stumbled out of the restaurant, only to slump against the wall outside. He wasn't going to die because of the Matchmaker, but the Omni female was—and soon, before she could harm Liege's daughter.
Yo. Liege. You coming in? Acier asked via their mental link. You parked fifteen minutes ago.
Liege had blocked out everything on the link he shared with his men from the time he saw the Matchmaker.
No, Liege said. Change of plans. Have fun without me.
Liege waited outside the restaurant for the women. Took another hour before they spilled into the dark night. They laughed and hugged, then went their own ways. Liege followed the ball of light, keeping himself from being seen, as he had all night. She got into a beat-up Subaru wagon. He got in too, sitting in the back, hiding from her the fact that he'd opened a door in her car and the dip it made when he got in. He wasn't a small man. His legs were folded to his chin in the crowded backseat.
The woman shivered and waited for the heat to come on. It didn't. Liege closed his eyes as he let his energy mingle with hers. Dammit all, the Matchmaker had chosen well. Her energy felt like a balm to his soul. And he loved her sweet scent.
What if she really was his light?
He could fight himself, but he couldn't fight the truth of the way their mingled energy felt. The danger was that if the Matchmaker had been able to discover his light, Liege's enemies could as well.
He didn't like to believe in fate, but what if he couldn't avoid what was coming?
* * *
The woman had an apartment over a garage in an older area of town, not far from the university. She was in there now, settling down for the night. Liege had taken a cab back to his SUV and returned, waiting for her to fall asleep.
He set an illusion that his vehicle was a large trash dumpster. He didn't want neighbors to take note of his big SUV. There were no cameras to disable in the alleyway, nothing to do but wait.
After a while, when all was calm inside, he went upstairs then unlocked the deadbolt telekinetically, pausing to listen inside the apartment. Had the sound of the door being unlocked awakened the woman?
No. All was quiet and still. He opened the door and closed it behind him without ever touching it. Her energy hit him like a wall of water, surrounding him, drowning him. He spread his arms wide, absorbing as much of her as he could, like a starving man at a buffet.
She was his perfect match. Right now, in the quiet privacy of this dark apartment, he could give himself the peace of belonging to another, of having a lifemate, of feeling love that was reciprocated.
Only he knew what he indulged in, so it was safe to pretend for a few moments that this woman wasn't an enemy here to harm him or his daughter.
And of course, it was that thought that sobered him. He focused on his purpose in being here: reconnaissance.
Any mutant could fake an energy signature. And though she was a regular, she could be under someone else's control.
Her studio flat was filled with colors and clashing patterns of textiles. She had a four-poster queen-sized bed. Mosquito netting was draped down each poster. The ceiling was open to the rafters, giving the room a sense of greater space. Shiplap covered the exposed wood, painted a pale seafoam color on the walls and white on ceiling. The floor was a dark stained wood. A faded, antique flat weave Uzbekistan carpet in red and other bold colors—a style he'd often seen in Afghanistan—covered most of the main room.
A tall nightstand and a dresser, both antiques, flanked the bed. A futon couch sat between the bed and the kitchen, with a long coffee table in front of it. A flat screen TV took up a chunk of the opposite wall on top of a long credenza.
Set in a nook next to the front door was a small kitchen. It had a retro-looking turquoise fridge, a narrow four-burner stove and oven, and a sink. A short peninsula separated it from the rest of the room. Three tall barstools, made from wood and black iron, stood at the counter.
A small stack of mail was in a file holder affixed to the wall. He took out a couple envelopes. The woman's name was Summer Coltrane.
Summer. The name suited her perfectly. Saying it reminded him of a warm, sultry breeze.
A short hallway led off the main room. To the left was a small bathroom, to the right was a long and narrow closet. He checked out the bathroom. There were no toiletry products that belonged to a man. The relief he felt actually hurt his chest. Geez, what the fuck would he have done if he found she was in a relationship?
Nothing. He wouldn't have done a damned thing. She couldn't be his, so it was best if she found someone who made her happy.
Reality check. He didn't give a damn about her happiness. She might be an Omni operative, and if she was, he was going to have to end her.
Her long closet was half household storage, half clothing and shoes. Here too, nothing belonging to a man was stored.
He returned to the main room. The woman still slept. He'd learned what he'd come to learn, but he couldn't quite make himself leave yet. This was the closest he'd been to her, and he wanted to linger.
When he concentrated, he could see through the bright glow surrounding her to the peaceful colors of her aura.
Humans had perfected their ability to twist the truth with their expressions, words, and even behavior, but only mutants knew how to extend that to their auras.
This close to her, Liege knew she was a regular, unchanged human. He slipped into her dream world. She was in a garden, tending to flowers. A spider crawled across her hand. He felt the deep revulsion in her reaction, which was quickly followed by a calm acceptance that each creature has its place in the whole of life. She moved her hand over to a nearby plant and let the spider slip away.
He pulled out of her sleeping mind, only to be broadsided by emotions and the uncomfortable knowledge that he wasn't here for purely reconnaissance purposes.
He was here for her. For himself. For a future they could never have.
His enemies had chosen their operative with expert precision. Whoever was controlling her seemed to know all of his dreams and hopes and desires.
If he weren't careful, his loss of control would have a devastating impact on his daughter.
He straightened and forced himself to leave the woman. He went out the way he came, locking her apartment behind him.
* * *
Liege sat in his SUV outside a garden center on the north side of town. He'd followed the woman here, where she apparently worked, which confirmed his suspicions.
The Briscoe's Garden and Landscape Design Center was one of several businesses in the area that were fronts for the Omni World Order, the secret crime organization Liege and his team were fighting.
The Matchmaker only ever matched human females with warriors who were in the Omni resistance. Liege had long wondered whose side the fiend was on, and now that he'd connected Liege with a female employed by the Omnis, perhaps he had his answer; Summer's bright glow wasn't a natural occurrence but one manufactured by the Omnis to trick Liege into believing he'd found his light, a subterfuge that wouldn't have worked without the Matchmaker.
Liege had learned long ago, in the mutant camps, to expect that any and all mind games were always in play.
Perhaps Summer Coltrane was a trick to distract him. Who knew what she really was or whom she was working for? Maybe she herself didn't even know.
Liege watched her move around the outside the garden center. She was bright, like a free-floating ball of lightning. She stopped to talk to a customer near a stack of hay bales loaded with pumpkins. The man she was talking to didn't glow. Nor did the other staffers who were watering the mums and rearranging outdoor displays. Only the woman glowed.
He could see the auras of the regulars. Nothing unusual in them. Nothing alarming, either.
Liege camouflaged his SUV with a blanket of energy, making it appear to regulars as one of the garden center's utility trucks, parked and empty. Once again, he hid himself behind a compulsion forced on any who might look his way, causing them to see the space where he was as it had been before he was there—a small trick that took little attention to create. The electromagnetic pulse he emitted to interfere with the security cameras was more of an effort, but it was worth it.
Up close, he could see that his female was young. Those faded freckles that dotted her nose fascinated him. Chilled by the autumn air, her skin was pink and white. She wore a pastel pink cable-knit sweater with a heavy fold-over neck that draped over her chest and the collar of the pale aqua puffer vest she had on. A pair of pink earmuffs was hooked around her neck. Her long blond hair was pulled back in a simple ponytail. Her pink lips smiled often as she talked to her customer. Her fingers, poking out of tipless pink gloves, were long and unpainted.
Liege smiled. She had a thing for pink. And he had a thing for her.
He was so fucked.
She must have felt his intense surveillance, for she looked right at him. And though he knew she couldn't see him—not through the energy he hid behind—gooseflesh rose on his skin as he wondered just how deep she was in with the Omnis.
He wasn't certain he could extinguish the beautiful light that she was.
What was he going to do if he discovered she was an innocent caught in an Omni web? He'd looked up her social media footprint last night. It showed she'd worked here since graduating college with a degree in landscape design, six years ago. It even showed that she'd dated the owner's son off and on during that time.
Were they off now or on?
Liege yanked himself from that train of thought. Mutants and regulars didn't mix. Her relationship status was of no interest to him. They could never meet. He told himself his interest in her was because of her relationship with his daughter.
Kiera was always his first priority.
* * *
Briscoe's nursery was dormant now in the wee hours of the night. Liege had come back so he could do some reconnaissance, maybe discover what the Briscoes and the Omnis were up to.
A dense fog obscured his view of the lower half of the building. The moisture in it had crystalized and was sparkling in the glow from the streetlights.
Something moved close to the main entrance, rising from the fog to stare at Liege. The Matchmaker. The hairs along Liege's arms and neck lifted. He'd gotten the bastard's first message; he didn't need a reminder—he just wasn't inclined to act on it. Too much was at stake.
He wanted to confront the redheaded monster, but knew there was no point. What he was seeing was merely a projection, not the fiend's corporeal form.
Liege drew the fog around his Escalade and himself, using it for cover. He disabled the garden center's security system and cameras as he approached the front door of the nursery, then telekinetically unlocked the door, opening and closing it behind him without ever touching it.
The front portion of the main building was a retail shop, filled with garden-themed chotchkes, books, and linens. On the left was a small greenhouse with potted and hanging houseplants. The air was thick with humidity and oxygen, rich with the scents of dirt and living organisms.
Liege moved toward the back where the offices were situated off an L-shaped hallway. The first office before the hallway turned a corner belonged to her. His daughter's friend. The Matchmaker's target. Light spilled from the small space—not light as a human would see it, but light from an energetic glow like that of an aura.
Summer Coltrane.
Hers was a rare energy indeed. A powerful one, something he sensed could change his life. How perfectly the Omnis had architected her for him. He was drawn to her space as if compelled to come closer. Was that because of the Matchmaker's influence? The very hint of a compulsion made him doubt himself.
He stepped into Summer's office, into the field of her energy. It surrounded him, slipped inside him, filled all the hollow places he'd kept hidden from himself and his team. The sensation was unlike anything he'd experienced as a mutant or a human.
A psychic's pot of gold.
It was far too easy to believe she was his lifemate, but it was a mirage he had to resist. A gift of the heart was the best poison of all—perhaps the only poison—that could affect him.
Liege looked around the small office, wondering about its occupant. When he let himself move beyond the feel of her energy, his other senses kicked in. There was a faint hint of roses. The desk was cluttered with stacks of papers and books. A deep shelf nearby held large scrolls of paper. He wondered about the human female who used this space. He checked for any pictures of her that he could find, but there were none. There wasn't anything of a personal nature at all in the space, other than the sweater that hung on a hook behind the door.
Liege lifted the soft knit fabric and held it up, realizing the woman who wore it was tiny—in comparison to him, anyway. He brought it to his nose, burying his face in it, scenting her own unique essence and the rose perfume she wore.
He stuffed her sweater in his coat pocket, then left her office to wander around the remaining offices.
The next door opened to a long conference room. No alarming residual energy lingered there. The next office was empty. He went to the next one and stopped cold.
His enemy had been in here. Recently. Brett Flynn. Liege shut his eyes, shocked by the confirmation that the Omnis were close to the woman the Matchmaker said was his.
Wait—she was not his woman. For all he knew, she was bait to get him here. She and the Matchmaker could be colluding with the Omnis. Liege would have to surrender and enter their game if he wanted answers.
Whatever the truth was, the Matchmaker wasn't going to let Liege off with a warning. He never did for any mutant.
Liege looked at the nameplate outside the office door. Clark Briscoe. The son Summer had dated.
Fear was heavy in the room. What had caused so a palpable reaction in the kid?
Flynn liked fear. It sustained him, but he couldn't manufacture that emotion on his own. Perhaps he hadn't been able to even as a human. He'd been a psychopath as a human, a trait the mutant shift only intensified. Liege suspected that whatever a human was before being changed, he became more of as a mutant.
Liege knew Flynn went on binges of sex and fear, lusting for sensations he couldn't generate himself, feeding off them from the humans he possessed.
Liege left Clark's office and went into the last room at the end of the hallway. He felt the energy of many regulars in there, couples and individuals, all of whom had come into this room in the last few weeks. Standing still, he sifted through the residual energy signatures, searching for the ones that had attracted Flynn.
This office belonged to Douglas Briscoe, Clark's father and owner of the Briscoe Garden Center. Flynn had been in here, but Douglas wasn't his target. Clark was.
Why? What did Clark have to offer Flynn? Why didn't he use Douglas too? And was it a coincidence that he had come to this garden center where the woman meant for Liege worked?
No. There were no coincidences. Flynn knew what he was doing. Liege expected he could feel the same thing the Matchmaker did—that Summer and Liege were lifemates.
Liege needed to come back when Clark was there to get a better read on what the kid was doing messing around with Flynn and the Omnis.
Summer's former boyfriend would never survive them—no regular could.

"I walked into a pub to meet my band to talk about our forthcoming recordings. Suddenly something felt like it snapped in my neck followed by shooting pains in my face and a seriously painful headache that felt like my brain was moving inside my head every time I moved! This was a vessel bursting in my brain. Nothing could have prepared me for what was about to happen to me.
I was taken to hospital and lucky for me, they did not send me home with migraine tablets! Instead I was rushed to Charing Cross Hospital in an ambulance early the next morning where I would spend an extraordinary eleven days in intensive care. I wasn't allowed to move. I had a five hour coiling procedure which has a lower risk of complications and offers a greater chance of survival without disability but mine was unsuccessful. I can't explain what it was like waking up from that procedure to discover it hadn't worked! That day my family and some of my friends came to the hospital to, well, say goodbye because they knew that the next day, I was going to have to have open brain surgery (for six and a half hours) to save my life!"

Today you will learn what men want in a woman. We will break it down for you so that you have a good idea what men are looking for.
What do men want?
What are the best guys out there looking for in a woman?
We get a version of this question from women all the time.
Today we are going to give you insider's peek into what men want.
BUT focusing on what men want is not your best place to start.
FIRST you want to focus on what YOU want.
You want to focus on SELF-AWARENESS.
What do you want and need in a partner?
Go beyond the superficial.
What do you want and need in a man for you to BE YOUR BEST SELF in a relationship?
What kind of partner brings out the best in you?
You also want to bring self-awareness to your strengths.
What do you bring to the table in a relationship?
What are you most attractive personality characteristics?
Are you funny? Smart? Warm? Sensual?
Who are you authentically?
What do you want to express about YOU in a relationship?
This self-awareness and these questions are where you put your focus first.
Only after you've done that do you start to think about what men want.
Why is this so important?
It's important because you don't want to be something you're not to attract a man.
It's also important because KNOWING who you are and what you want without attachment is one of the biggest qualities men want in a woman.
That's right.
What Men Want in a Woman
Men want to be with a woman who knows herself. Someone who knows what she wants. A woman who can communicate what she wants without being attached to any particular guy being that.
We teach our clients how to identify and communicate their wants and needs to men while remaining warm, playful and connected.
This is the key.
It's communicating what you want in an effective way.
This year, we have had more clients stop swiping, stop meeting men who are unavailable and undesirable, quit wasting their time, and have their last first date than ever before.
If you want to be one of our success stories this year now is the time to talk with us to see if we can help you.
Starting this Saturday, May 5th, 2018 we are raising the prices to work with us by 15% and we want to give you the option to jump into getting our help before that time.
We are busy serving our clients, so there are limited spaces available.
Fill out a quick app and schedule your call here: www.datetosoulmate.com/session
If you keep meeting the wrong men…
If you are overwhelmed, frustrated, and disappointed with dating…
If you have invested into other things that just never seem to work…
And you are ready to get out of the dating game and meeting a great guy that you can spend your life with, you owe it to yourself to book a call with us now: www.datetosoulmate.com/session
Remember, this offer is only available until the end of the day on Friday, May 4th so there isn't any time to waste.

text: No deductions for training costs despite signed formContract authorized deductions for training costs if employees left but didn't specify in-house courses were included05/16/2012|Canadian Employment Law Today|Last Updated: 05/16/2012 An Alberta employer was not entitled to deduct money from employees' final paycheques to recoup the costs of training the employees, an arbitrator has ruled.Marco Roy and Bill Thomson were heavy duty truck technicians for Edmonton-based trucking company First Truck Centre. When the two men were first hired — Roy in 1998 and Thomson in 2002 — First Truck required them to sign forms authorizing the company to deduct "monies owed for training received" if they left the company within one year of receiving the training.Roy and Thomson claimed they were told the form was meant to cover the cost of an apprenticeship program at a post-secondary institute that was required for them to achieve journeyman status needed for the job. They both completed the program early in their tenure with First Truck. First Truck also offered courses for employees, but neither man was told these courses had a cost and believed they were part of the normal training that was part of the job.

Pre-Primary : Sports Day ...
Sports Day (Pre Primary) was held on March 8, 2019
It was a day well spent, basking in the warmth of the sun and witnessing the tiny tots run, jump, tumble, roll and hop! Children while presenting the Animal Yoga and Parachute Drill won the hearts of all as they swayed and performed to the beats of music.
It was a delight to see the excitement with which children participated in their respective fun relay races such as caterpillar relay race, dress up relay race, hurdle relay race, chef relay race, pair relay race with full verve and vigour.
30metres Flat Race decided the fastest girls and boys.
Female staff outperformed the Male Sports Staff in the tug of war. Having the advantage of numbers and of course the Women's Day.
The young achievers were awarded with the medals and certificates. It was a day filled with sportsmanship, enthusiasm and memories to cherish.

Ex- Birmingham City midfielder Keith Fahey has revealed how he has not been fully fit for almost THREE YEARS.
The 30-year-old was dogged by hip and groin injuries during his time at St Andrew's before being released this summer and is now recovering from a self-funded operation.
And he believes that had he opted for surgery two years ago – instead of injections – he would have saved his Euro 2012 dream.
"I paid for my own operation (in Ireland) because it needed to be done," he said.
"The season we went to the Euros I went through a really good spell of playing – getting to my best, I thought, for Birmingham.
"But I had chronic groin problems. I was trying to play through it, not train, and then play again. But there's obviously only so much of that you can do. Then I broke down.
"I thought I was going to the Euros, I was feeling good, and then in the first day of training (with Ireland) there was a little pull again in my groin."
Asked whether an earlier operation would have helped, Fahey added: "Yes I would say so. I went to see a surgeon in London about two years ago.
"He said he could inject it and that it might give me more range of movement. It did, but that's when the groin injuries started.
"If someone had told me how I was going to end up in two years, I'd have said to get it done.
"I've been playing the last two or three years, possibly longer with this.
"I've played well with the injury so I'm looking forward to playing when I'm fully fit."
Fahey hardly kicked a last season and Blues boss Lee Clark admitted that his injuries were part of the reason that a two-year option on his contract was not taken up.
The Republic international plans to end his career back in Ireland but is still hoping to find another club in England first.

Joe Lincoln's books and movies made Cape Cod famous
On this day in 1925, Cape Cod's most famous author, Joe Lincoln, had the premiere of the latest of his books to be made into a silent movie.
This one didn't fare too well, as the review below states:
Joseph C. Lincoln's novels have attained their popularity because he knows how to make the folks down on Cape Cod real to his readers. His stories have the flavor of life in them, and this flavor is derived as often from the quaintness and humor the author sees about him as from the sterner virtues. What the characters do is often less important than how they do it.
The producers of the film version of "Rugged Waters"... seem to have forgotten that... If Lincoln had written all his novels as they have screened this one, Cape Cod would not be as well known in Medicine Hat and points West as it is today, and the author would not be a best-seller...
Read the rest of this snappy review of an old silent movie below and another review of the book itself here.
(Two postcards showing Joseph Lincoln's Cockle Cove home in Chatham.)
They'll still have their shell but spotted turtles have lost one layer of protection, they've been taken off the state list of species of special concern.
On May 23, 2006, the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife voted 5-0 with one abstention and one absentee to remove the spotted turtle and seven other animals, along with three plants, from the list of special concern, threatened or endangered species.
Mass Audubon opposed the de-listing as did numerous herpetologists and the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions.

Chogüí Cigars launched in 2014, but it didn't hit the US market until 2015. The Dos77 Rogusto was released that year. The name commemorates a box of the original Primera Edición, limited to 300 boxes and only sold in the Dominican Republic. During the trip from the factory in Tamboril, Santiago and Santo Domingo, one box was lost. Box number 277. Get it? The Longsdale, which is the cigar reviewed, was released in 2016.
Chogüí Dos77
Size: 6.5 x 46
Vitola: Longsdale (Lonsdale)
Wrapper: Dominican Republic
Binder: Dominican Criollo 98
Filler: Dominicana Corojo & Havana 2020
Factory: Undisclosed
Cigars smoked for review: 1
Cigars for review provided by: Fellow BOTL
Prelight: The wrapper is pleasantly pungent, with a barnyard profile of sweet, cut hay, earth and cocoa. The foot note is deeper, with a little bit of dark, dried fruit notes. The cold is different again, with a breadiness and notes of fruit, black pepper and cedar. Very nice!
Beginning: The first third of this Dos77 longsdale starts out with a nice full body. Up front there is a fruity note, that seems like a mix of cherry and dark, dried fruit. There is also a bready, cedar note which is fighting for dominance. There is also a muted black pepper note on the rather long and dry finish. The retrohale makes an interesting, cherry-bread flavor, that I am loving. The ash is a little flaky and the burn a little wavy, but it's not affecting my enjoyment of this cigar.
Middle: As the Dos77 transitions to the second third, the sweet and fruit notes fade and a meatiness takes over. Black pepper, seasoned meat and a worcestershire sauce are what I am getting, which is interesting. I am also getting a heightened amount of pepper spice on my lips. Towards the end of this third, the sweet and fruity notes make an unexpected return. The burn issues from the beginning have corrected.
End: The final third sees a similar profile, but the black pepper is more upfront. It isn't so much spicy, as it is just black pepper flavorful. There is also a fired wood note. I'd say it is like a charred oak note. This third is not as smooth as the first two. I would have preferred it to remain that way, but that's a personal opinion.
Final Thoughts: Lots of good flavors and a lot of transitions to keep you interested. The first two thirds were quite good, minus a wavy burn. The final third wasn't bad, but I didn't fully enjoy the pepper heavy and charred wood profile. Overall, it was a full bodied, flavorful cigar with medium-full strength. A worthy smoke for sure, I need to try some more and get a better picture. But the flavors and ride they take you on is awesome, this is a palette tester. I think that possibly with another try, this might become a box split.
Rating: 89 "AKA" 5 pack

I believe I had the robusto and had a similar experience. Decent cigar. Nice review, you've been kicking out a bunch lately. Nice work!

That was brilliant mate!
Thanks for the laughs, I didn't realise we really were "Bloody Idiots"
you cant become a Bloody idiot you have to B born that way LOL!
Very good vid Marek. It explains a lot. Lol.
As long as I can remember they told me: "you are different (thinking)...!" Not always meant as a compliment... Sometimes they found and still find me a pain in the ass, for example at school, at the soccer club, with friends and even at my work... My interpretation? Rules and laws are guidelines, don't cross that line too far, but as far as possible if needed! For one and a half year ago I received two patches... Bloody Idiot member patches... Again a little different, but this time meant in a positive way!
Thanks for the vid Marek. I'm sure it was a lot of work to make this vid, no doubt about that! But it was worth the time you spend to do it.....
I'm a Bloody Idiot.... and proud!
Funny video for sure...
Bring out the straight jackets! http://bigchrisart.com/sites/default/files/StraightJacketLabs_Logo.jpg
Thanks Marek for high lighting the privilege of being a bloody idiot. It's something that I have strived for but had a head start when I was born....... I think.
Along with all my fellow bloody idiots, I must say that I'm proud to be associated with you all.
May many more join the clan.

Thoughts after 3 innings Tigers, Yankees Tuesday
- For a pitcher of his caliber, Price does give up his share of home runs ,especially this year. Brian McCann's homer was the 21st allowed by Price this season, just one shy of his career high.
- Price has really good control. You see how the Yankees, who have seen him a lot, have taken advantage of it. They are first-pitch swinging.
- That's why you don't bunt with early in a 1-1 game, especially with one of your better hitters. It almost played right into the hands of the Tigers and Price. The Yankees got away with it when Jacoby Ellsbury clubbed a double. But the run would have scored anyway, regardless of the bunt.
My column. Why, like the Tigers collectively, David Price has a lot to prove: http://www.theoaklandpress.com/sports/20140804/like-the-detroit-tigers-collectively-david-price-still-has-much-to-prove-pat-caputo-says

Cape Town – Police said on Friday they have arrested a man walking along the shore at Melkbosstrand along the Cape West Coast carrying a bag containing R46 000 worth of illegal abalone.
The 38-year-old man was taken to the local police station where the bag was found to contain 22 abalone in shells, and 132 without shells. He is due to appear in court next week.
In a separate incident on Friday, police raided a warehouse in Gray Street in Paarden Island and discovered an illegal abalone factory.
"Numerous bags and containers filled with abalone, steel cooking pots, gas cylinders, scales, bags of salt and other items of equipment were seized."
At this point no arrests have been made, police spokesman Captain FC van Wyk said.

Now This Is What I've Been Waiting For in a South Park Game!
I won't claim I know every South Park game that's ever come out on the market (though there probably aren't all that many). I used to have that crappy N64 game, which was nothing more than an awful turkey shooter, from what I remember – but hey, it was three-dimensional, which was new at the time, and offered a chance (an extremely limited chance!) to explore the town of South Park in three dimensions, which was more lifelike than the show, which was also pretty new at the time. More recently I had the chance to play Tenorman's Revenge when I reviewed it on XBLA. I liked Tenorman's Revenge, and it was plainly obvious that it was a game more in tune with the sensibilities of the show, which is to say stuffed full of politically incorrect, crass toilet humor. But the tone was right, and in a franchise known primarily for its edgy humor, that's what matters.
But all of that has now been literally blown out of the water with the recent release of South Park: The Stick of Truth!
This game stands somewhere at the top of the pile when it comes to treating source material with the proper approach and replicating the precise feel of it for its intended audience. Especially when it comes to a licensed game, it either works or doesn't based not solely on playability but on how well it emulates the familiar world its supposed to be a part of. In the case of Stick of Truth, I got the feeling of watching an episode of the TV show from the very first moment.
Not only does the game look the part, with the animation style copying that of the show, down to the jerky hop-skipping way characters move about, but the story has been written (and of course voiced) by Trey Parker and Matt Stone themselves, so that feeling of authenticity isn't just a doomed wish. Without going into too much revealing detail at the moment (I'll leave that for my actual write-up when I beat the game), suffice it to say that my first act in-game was to visit the bathroom and frantically mash the X button to poo in the toilet. Then I proceeded to reach in and pocket the turd, and store it in my inventory to be used later in battle. Let me say that again: I received a self-made piece of crap as literally one of my first inventory items!
After that, there could be no doubt that I was in for an experience that is sometimes hilarious, often shocking, and always true to the show's spirit throughout. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is hard to find in the world of licensed properties, making this completely juvenile, sophomoric game an accomplishment other game developers should look up to and try to emulate.
If you're curious about The Stick of Truth for yourself, check out my Let's Play of the game!

How to calm your anger in just 90-seconds
In collaboration with the Police Now and the UK Met Police we created the Take:90 meditation to guide you from rage to reason in just 90 seconds.
So here's an interesting fact. Did you know that our emotions have a shelf life of only 90 seconds? This means that in the time it takes to brush your teeth, your brain can effectively rid itself of heated emotions like anger, if left uninterrupted by thoughts.
In 2006, Dr Jill Bolte Taylor published an insight called, The 90 Second Rule. Here's how she explains it: "When a person has a reaction to something in their environment, there's a 90 second chemical process that happens in the body; after that, any remaining emotional response is just the person choosing to stay in that emotional loop."
If we understand our emotions as biochemicals events, we see that our experience of anger is a feedback loop between mind and body.
Let's say a co-worker criticizes us in a way we feel is hypocritical. Naturally, we become angry. But then we stew in angry thoughts, keeping that anger alive. Those spiralling, irate ruminations only serve to re-stimulate the physiological response of anger.
Just as we can intensify anger with our thoughts, we can ease it by silencing those thoughts. As long as we don't fuel our fury, in 90 seconds that anger has the opportunity to dissolve.
The idea is to step back, and create some space between our anger and our thoughts. By cutting off the cycle of furious thoughts, our anger softens.
Of course, this approach isn't a magic fix, at times, it will take longer to cool our anger. But ultimately, within 90 seconds, if we don't add thoughts to our experience, our emotions can soften.
So, the next time you're ablaze with anger, listen to the following meditation to quiet volatile thoughts and emotions.
* Take:90 is also available in the Calm app

Letters to the Editor
Another planning fiasco
For 10 years, Fresno County supervisors have violated state law by failing to file the required Annual Progress Report (APR) detailing progress made toward implementing the county's 2000 General Plan. On March 24, supervisors approved an extremely inadequate 2014 APR. What were they thinking?
Two examples: The county's 2014 APR failed to review the county's agricultural land preservation programs and assess their effectiveness. Thus, the public doesn't know if the supervisors are fulfilling their obligation to preserve agricultural land and production.
The 2000 General Plan stated, "The county shall develop, implement, and maintain a groundwater monitoring program. Information from this program shall be provided to the Board of Supervisors during the annual General Plan review." To date there is no groundwater monitoring plan and no mention of this in the 2014 APR. Why?
The 2014 APR contains wording for a future General Plan revision. Without data and measurements by which one can assess the effectiveness of past policies, how can one decide whether to change direction in the next General Plan? It's clear our county supervisors fail to understand the adage: Those who fail to understand the past are destined to repeat it.

Our response to market trends
Our response
We look for places that we can improve, many of them underloved or overlooked. Typically, these sites are too complex for REITs and too mixed in use for housebuilders, but they suit us perfectly. We believe developments can only work when people are prioritised, so we take the time to delve into the history and character of these sites and reflect these in our scheme. We often partner with the private or public sector – including TfL, MoD, local authorities and central/local government – to generate optimal returns from existing assets and unlock their potential.
War for talent
Our response
We work closely with communities and partners from the outset to ensure we are creating places that will meet the daily needs of the different generations. Quality and sustainability are key. We understand the importance of accessibility, working with our partners to ensure public transport, road, cycle and walking access opens up areas. The amenities available must also meet modern flexible living/working habits to encourage closer communities in the long-term and support growth.
Political and regulatory uncertainty
Our response
Our size and the flexibility of our approach mean we can anticipate change and respond to it quickly. We foster close relationships with government across parties, the public and private sector and regulators, many of whom know us well. We are thought leaders on the major issues, working collaboratively towards policies and a regulatory framework that will support our shared goal of helping local communities to prosper. The need for quality (and affordable) housing, office and leisure space will continue regardless of leadership or politics, particularly in our core London City Region, Manchester and Dublin where demand is growing.
Wellbeing and sustainability
Our response
Our schemes encourage more healthy, active lifestyles and help cultivate a sense of community. Typically, they offer green space to encourage cycling and walking and a range of leisure amenities – such as gyms, yoga studios, bike facilities and entertainment. Our buildings' design, automation and energy management systems are created to optimise comfort, environmental quality and sustainability and, in turn, productivity.
Future proofing
Our response
Our 25-year track record and >90% success in obtaining planning give us an edge and provide unique access to public and private sector opportunities. Our focus on mixed-use regeneration in three high-growth markets – London City Region, Manchester and Dublin – where we have both the intimate understanding of local demographics and their evolving needs, as well as the flexible approach and creative vision to see and realise potential, mean we can support local authorities in meeting the growing demand for high-quality mixed-use spaces.
How we measure our progress
£ 50m+
average development and trading gains target per annum
average post tax total return target
average investment portfolio total return target
gearing on balance sheet target
How we create value
We secure land that is right for community focused regeneration and mixed-use development projects.
These are often underestimated and overlooked sites, full of heritage and potential, too complex for others.
We are good at securing sites:
We unlock value in three ways
Public Private Partnership
Transforming sites into vibrant mixed-use communities
31% of gross assets
Improving land value, primarily through planning
39% of gross assets
Smart asset management where there is regeneration potential

Balancing Colorado's Budget
I'd like to ask constituents what they want to protect and what they want to cut. In that spirit, please visit backseatbudgeter.com. It is an invaluable tool that puts you in the driver's seat for making cuts or raising taxes to balance the state budget. It also shows you how arduous it is to balance the budget with all of the conflicting provisions in our state constitution. A similar tool, Tax Tracks, tells you exactly where your tax money is going. I'd love to hear any thoughts you've come up with after using either of these tools.
Not only is balancing the budget this year a tough challenge, but it is only the first part of the work that needs to be done. A recent study by the University of Denver concluded that even a strong recovery and consistent job growth over the next decade will not produce enough income and sales tax revenue to pay for Medicaid and public schools. According to the study, problems with Colorado's revenue structure combine with retiring baby-boomers and increasing health care costs, and mean that Colorado's obligations will out-pace its revenues perpetually.
The bottom line: sooner or later we're going to have to put politics aside, and decide what kind of state we want for our children and grandchildren.

For the 37th South Shropshire Circular we return to the Community Hall in Newcastle-on-Clun. As always for the Circular the route will remain secret until registration when you will be given a clear and accurate Route Decription.
Newcastle on Clun is some 4 miles west of Clun on the B4368. The Post Code for the Community Centre is SY7 8QL and its grid ref. is SO 249 824. For overnight accommodation, there are several B & Bs and pubs within a few miles, plus the Youth Hostel in Clun but it's probably best to phone the Tourist Information Centre in Ludlow on 01584 875 033.
The hill country around Newcastle-on-Clun is some of the most attractive within the AONB and is given over to upland livestock farming. It is very quiet and offers some quite magnificent views over the hills of Mid Wales and the Marches.But as always, it should certainly not be underestimated in winter conditions.
The car parks will open from 06.30 and the Community Hall will welcome you from 06.45 for Registration, a simple breakfast and issue of the Route Description, which is written for use with Explorer sheet 216 at 1:25 000 (Welshpool & Montgomery). Newcastle is however just off the southern edge of this sheet but a photocopy of the relevant area from sheet 201 will be incorporated into the Route Description. The route will be divided into three or four legs and the Route Description gives the grid reference of each "self-clip" passage control point and the serviced checkpoints, with a reliable indication of the best line between them. A short route may be applied if necessary. There will be a briefing at 07:50 and a mass start at 08:00. A hot meal, endless tea and a fine certificate will greet your return to the Community Hall.
This is sheep county and we're sorry but dogs cannot be brought on this event.
Clothing and equipment
For comfort and safety, you must wear or carry all of the items listed below and you will be disqualified either before or after the START, if any of them are obviously missing.
Walking boots or event/fell running shoes with sound well-studded soles.
Complete body and leg covering (running shorts with tights are OK).
Wind and waterproof outer protection shell, comprising a jacket and over-trousers.
Spare inner garment (such as a fleece jacket).
Hat and gloves Survival bag Emergency food and drink.
Torch Basic First Aid Compass and whistle.
OS Explorer sheet no. 216 at 1:25 000 " Welshpool & Montgomery ".
Mug (there will be no cups at checkpoints)
No dogs, No entries on the day, No under 18s
