about us
Online registration will not available for this training in Bellevue until the next date has been scheduled. Please contact us at email@example.com with any questions you have about specific workshops, including requests to host trainings at your center or school.
A Half-Day Workshop for Parents, Caregivers, Teachers, Administrators, Owners, and Directors
"It is occupational therapists who first theorized that sensory processing issues are a source of distress for many children, and an explanation for a lot of otherwise puzzling behaviors. And it is often OTs who identify these challenges, typically in preschool children, and who specialize in treating them. Despite an intense campaign—waged in part so that costly private treatments could be covered by insurance—it was not added as a new diagnosis in the latest edition of the diagnostic manual, the DSM-5."
- Child Mind Institute
You are invited to Simplicity Learning for a heartfelt discussion about our children's and students' quirks, difficulties, and gifts! This workshop is intended for parents, caregivers, teachers, administrators, and others who care for children and families.
Working with current research and resources, this workshop demystifies some of the confusions that currently exist between viewing children's behaviors through the lens of psychiatric disorders versus the many environmental factors that contribute today to stress and overwhelm.
feedback from attendees
"This training was both intuitive and made sense"
We will particularly focus on simple changes in lifestyle and environment that go beyond labels and medication to support sensory integration and processing. We will look at attachment relationships, stress, emotional control, parenting, sleep, accommodations in the classroom, and many other environmental factors. Participants will gain an understanding of differing viewpoints regarding the current panoply: ADD, ADHD, ASD, ODD, OCD, SPD, and APD. Participants will discover similarities and differences between children who exhibit overly-sensitive and under-sensitive miens, including some of the more common misinterpretations of these behaviors. Tools useful in the classroom and at home will be presented as well.

With the World Cup 2018 just 24 hours away, it has got me thinking about the conundrum we Manx have to face every four years.
Whilst the 32 nations preparing to venture to Russia have all the excitement and anticipation leading into the tournament, here on the Island, it's almost like an added bonus ball to the non-stop drinking and partying of TT fortnight.
I, like many of us, am a fanatical football fan; obsessed with all kinds of pointless stats and know more trivia about former Premier League players than my own family history (looking at you Celestine Babayaro).
Alas, there is one thing I cannot deny; our fiercely independent and proud nomadic Manx status leaves us as a piggy in the middle during the World Cup or European Championships.
Whilst in the Olympics, Commonwealth Games and Tour De France we have some Manx representatives that can fly our flag for us, but for me the International football tournaments leave us in the position of, "always the bridesmaid never the bride".
Is it our party to celebrate?
A lot of folk on the Island will pitch up to support England for a variety of reasons;
- They're our closest neighbours
- A lot of folk here come from or have family there
- And most of the players play for teams we support
However! This allegiance and St George's pride is in stark contrast to our attitudes when we are overseas, the "I'm Manx, not English" diatribe takes a complete 180 turn during these few weeks.
There are also many of us who have no English heritage and don't really buy into "Three Lions on a Shirt" and all that jazz.
Some have families that hail from the other home nations but due to Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland and Scotland (shock horror) all missing out, it is England who are the sole representatives from the British Isles.
So now, if you're yet to pick a team to support, you'll need to look a little further afield. With the Premier League's numerous foreign superstars, Champions League and the top European Domestic Leagues, there will be some who will opt for a more continental choice.
France, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Belgium will be popular teams for many, then even further round the globe you have the juggernauts of Argentina and Brazil.
Better yet, you could even try the old school route of going down to Intersport or Sports Direct and picking whatever random kit that maybe on sale. Pockets of Croatia and Senegal barmy armies may yet appear outside of Jaks.
The work sweepstake or just picking the team with the nicest kit (Nigeria) can also provide some inspiration in who to back. Not done one yet? Get on Gef's alternative sweepstake here.
I myself support Italy for family reasons, and following their monumental balls-up against Sweden, I am now just throwing darts randomly at Panini stickers to see which team I'll be backing for the World Cup.
Like a hobbit in the shire, the drama and excitement is elsewhere and whilst we may feel we are missing out, just think of the added bonuses, the stress is more bearable, you can appreciate the football on hand and technically we can just jump on the glory bandwagon and get drunk anyway.

Requested about the journey advisory on Friday in Kansas Metropolis, Greitens stated he hadn't seen it but His office did not return messages looking for comment on Tuesday.
It is similar to a time share, in which you could travel anywhere as typically as you want, however with out the extra bills, comparable to maintenance prices and different up hold prices related to time shares. Now we have at all times been respectful of the need for the State Department to advise its citizens on precautions when traveling abroad, however we think about this advisory to be inexact and alarmist, and never a characterization of the actual situation at Guerrero's tourist locations," stated Rodriguez.

Career seekers should possess an exceptional ways to convert your curiosity in a given job function in a company. Job seekers will need to manage a fantastic experience and abilities. The job seekers having over 10 years of experience with a faster method of obtaining a dream profession.
Please use the one under and attempt to have a work after you are able to. There should be a strategy supporting everything that you do in a project searchincluding how you expect others to refer to you. It is a human being attempting to acquire work, as you understand unemployment. By all means, your work is to make sure the potential hiring supervisors. Make certain you're qualified for the job that you are applying for! Your job is to pick the top few requirements that match your own experience. Do not forget, at a startup, the man or woman doing the hiring may cause a thousand other jobs at the specific same moment.
Every time you write detailed information. Try to remember, every element of your job search ought to be strategic. Try to bear in mind that a job description will have quite long laundry list of all ideal nice-to-have skills.
The objective of the cover letter is to acquire an interview with the employer. Our staff will be happy if you will use it and you're going to get new jobs supplies. The hiring manager does not want to understand what the job will do to help your resume or career. Hiring managers (such as the large part) are especially interested in what you have already been doing in the previous 23 decades and how it's related to the position they are trying to fill. The marketing executive is searching for a fulltime job, but has been consulting in the meantime,.
The secret is to become attention. The objective of a workout application is to expand the shortcut of comprehensive working experience particulars. Hence the job demands can fluctuate. Use the cover letter to identify the job you're applying for and discuss your qualifications in regard to the skills and knowledge you have that make you an asset.
Simply take some time to earn your cover letter great and boost your probability of landing that dream job. Should you do this, you are going to realize what you'll have to prove. Remember, however, for the best outcomes every cover letter ought to be specifically written to the requirements and culture of the organization to which you are applying.
You can benefit from your distinctive value proposition to acquire. Bear in mind that your cover letter is only one portion of the application. It's the trick to unlocking livelihood opportunities. It is the most complete tool used by companies when evaluating potential employees. The final part of this work program is the certification. By creating a template, even in relation to crafting the (nearly) inevitable following job program, you're going to be saving yourself a lot of stress and time.
Taking the above example into account, if there is a particular reason that you're leaving the job which you want to increase in the correspondence, but do not want the HRD to understand about it, you need to be cautious. If you have ever applied for work, you probably've composed a minumum of a single cover letter in your life. Whenever you make a program to get a new job, you should write a fantastic cover letter explaining why you are qualified for the position.
Often companies have more than 1 position available, so it is critical to be as unique as you can. The way in which they're composed, says a great deal about the organization and its culture. Even though you like the job, you have decided to not join the company because of some personal factors. Back up your credentials by saying examples of what you could do to help the company especially, using research you have done on the corporation.
A letter of request ought to be written when you are trying to find information or support from another individual. It, as mentioned previously, must be properly drafted and it must be free of any writing errors as that creates a negative feeling. Latter however, is not likely to be the matter accessible, what's going to be clarified below is a letter of intent as well as what is contained in it. Make sure you do not compose a letter to somebody whom you might choose to request a favor, as it could be considered impolite and inconsiderate.
In some cases, what is discussed in 1 letter can't be shared using another division. Nevertheless, the letter should incorporate a few crucial elements. Once you have completed your letter, the closing salutation needs to be included also. Always be sure the letter is written on your company correspondence thoughts. A reference letter looks like a recommendation letter from employer. Thus, you are now able to write a correct character reference letter for unique functions.
In such circumstances, you've got to write a rejection letter immediately, so the company can continue with the recruiting practice. With the next kind of correspondence, you are introducing two individuals that you know to one another. A recommendation letter from company can earn a tremendous difference in a candidate's probability of obtaining a new job or even a seat in a reputable educational institution. When you're asked to write a character reference letter for a buddy, what you might need to write depends largely on the function of the letter.
The major issue is to show you composed your letter for a particular audience. A sample letter is extended in the post below. You will also get exclusive top ideas and sample letters to aid you. Hence it is quite tricky to create a sample letter to all purposes, since the material will differ based on what you wish to acknowledge.
The specific same way that a cover letter may enable you to appear well qualified for one place, it may cause you to seem overqualified for another. The complete most efficient cover letters have been custom-tailored to each potential employer for optimal effect.
There are two key forms of introduction letters. Although a letter of introduction usually comprises some kind of request, like an informational interview or meeting, it is not supposed to be a letter of program or employment request. By going through the exact same, you'll be able to understand, broadly , about how one wants to proceed to compose an introduction letter.
Composing a totally phrased letter is not quite as difficult as it's made out to be. An informal letter can be written in any way you choose, but you will find a couple organizational rules it is possible to follow if you're unsure of what to write or how to format your correspondence. Formal letters still maintain an very important area in the industry world. In this circumstance it would be worthwhile to draft two different letters to avoid such a confusion or circumstance. Fundraising donation correspondence is certainly an important piece of letter that may greatly aid a person or a company that is seeking financial support.

Yesterday saw keen runners flee from prison as the Inveraray Jail Break Race returned to Argyll for a second year. A strong women's field saw all three first place female runners beating last year's records while the 2009 male catergory records still stand.
Part of the Inveraray Bluebell Festival, Inveraray Jail Break had 34 runners from far and near complete the challenging 6.5km route on Sunday May 9. Starting at Inveraray Jail itself, the course took runners 250 metres high to Dun na Cuaiche, the watch tower above Inveraray. The runners thinned out as the steep climb took hold and men's winner, Philip Price, was clearly ahead from this point, as the competitors made their way back down to the grounds of Inveraray Castle.
Winning categories included first male and first female junior, senior and veteran. The overall fastest time recorded was an impressive 29 minutes and six seconds from first male senior Philip Price. The fastest female time was 32 minutes 34 seconds, from first female senior winner, Emma O'Shea.
2010 - this year's first place winners:
First male junior - David McAlister - 31:22
First male senior - Philip Price - 29:06
First male veteran - Alan Smith - 29:55
First female junior - Freya Corner - 40:07 - (RECORD)
First female senior - Emma O'Shea - 32.34 - (RECORD)
First female veteran - Dinah Bosomworth - 37:20 (RECORD)
2009 - last year's first place winners:
First male junior - Paul Cameron - 28:54
First male senior - Nick Emsley - 28:46
First male veteran - Paul Thompson - 29:14
First female junior - Naomi Sturrock - 44:14
First female senior - Naomi Dixon - 41:02
First female veteran - Fiona Corner - 38:59
Participants each received a free Inveraray Jail T-shirt and there were trophies, medals and prizes for category winners. The race catered for a range of running enthusiasts.
The Bluebell Festival is an exciting month-long programme of cultural events taking place in the Inveraray area, by Loch Fyne. For more information on Inveraray Jail please visit the jail website.

Discerning God's Work In The World: Tips From The Times For Preachers
Monday, September 19, 2005"Dishonest Stewards" from Duke University
A few days ago I posted a Rumination lamenting the apparent absence of Christian witnesses who would go voluntarily into the hellish conditions in New Orleans to share the misery. Today I found an example. Perhaps these young men are not even Christians, but they surely acted in a Christlike way. Moreover, their resourcefulness and determination verging on dishonesty (!) is highly reminiscent of Jesus' parable of the dishonest steward! Here is the article, by Ian Urbina from the New York Times daily feature called "Voices From the Storm":
Watching the horror unfold on live television, David Hankla and his friends at Duke University felt angry and bewildered. "It made no sense whatsoever that reporters were getting in and out of New Orleans, but the National Guard couldn't remove those people from the convention center," said Mr. Hankla, 20, a sophomore. "All we knew was that we were sick of being armchair humanitarians and that we intended to help get people out."
So he and two dorm mates, Sonny Byrd and Hans Buder, set out in Mr. Byrd's Hyundai sedan for a road trip and rescue mission.
But heading into New Orleans on Interstate 10 after the all-night drive from Durham, N.C., they were turned back by National Guard troops who said it was not safe to proceed. "We tried a couple ways in, but they sent us back at each," Mr. Hankla said. Demoralized and exhausted, they retreated to Baton Rouge, La., where after a few hours of sleep, they began working at a Red Cross shelter.
That afternoon, the three devised a plan to sneak into New Orleans. Visiting a nearby television station, one of them swiped a press pass, which Mr. Hankla altered and duplicated at Kinko's. "For $11.68 and an hour of work, we became members of the media," he said. "We didn't even have to roll down our windows to get into the city this time."
At the convention center, Mr. Hankla said he waded through a smell so bad "it could knock you down."
"A woman out front said that she was leaving the shelter because she heard screams from a woman being raped in the bathroom," he said. "Inside, a guard told me that the smell was from bodies stacked on the second floor."
Soon, he said, he came across a man named Jessie with white welts covering his body and face. The man told him that when the floodwaters had come, he had climbed a tree that was swarming with fire ants. Because he could not swim, the man said, he was stuck in the tree and bitten by ants for 18 hours.
The students drove him to a Baton Rouge hospital, along with three women whom they dropped at an emergency center. They then made a return trip for the women's husbands.
Worried that their luck with fake press credentials was wearing out, they began their long drive back to Duke.
"We felt pretty satisfied that we got involved," Mr. Hankla said. "But we all kept talking about how it was possible that three kids in a two-wheel-drive Hyundai were able to move people out of the city and the National Guard wasn't."

♦ Katholisch.de is the website for the Catholic Church in Germany. In late November, it featured an ill-considered posting by Björn Odendahl that was critical of Pope Francis. I'm not shy about criticism, but when taking Francis to task for highlighting the achievements of the non-Western Church, he writes, "The Church in Africa is growing because the people in Africa are socially dependent on it and have nothing else other than their faith. She grows because the level of education is very low and people accept simple answers for the difficult questions of the faith. Answers like the ones Cardinal Sarah gives. And the growing number of priests is the result not only of the strength of the missionary presence but also of the fact that it's one of the few options for employment security there."
♦ More sensible (but no less severe) was an anonymous criticism of the Francis pontificate written by a former curial official and published by the German magazine Focus. (Available in translation at onepeterfive.com.)
Highlights: The writer takes the Francis pontificate to task for being "emotional and anti-intellectual," and thus insouciant about doctrine. He expresses worry about the authoritarianism and climate of fear created by this pontificate, something that inevitably comes when papal authority is decoupled from disciplined attention to established doctrine. The way in which Francis has created expectation of change risks turning doctrinal development into a populist enterprise. His personal style reflects an exaggerated simplicity that borders on showmanship, and his off-the-cuff remarks sow confusion. Finally, Francis displays a meta-clericalism, which comes in the form of a criticism of the "clericalism" of most priests and bishops, while gathering to himself a monopoly on authentic Christianity.
I don't agree with the criticisms of the pope's simplicity of life, and I find his unfiltered comments refreshing. But some of these criticisms hit the mark. This pontificate does seem anti-intellectual. I'm all for evangelism and an ever deeper encounter with Christ. But Catholic doctrine has a profound rational structure that must be respected and cultivated if the Church's witness is to shine brightly. The criticism of Francis's "meta-clericalism" also seems apt. Francis constantly criticizes "legalism" and "rigid" conservatism. Dangers, perhaps, but his rhetoric is often antinomian, and in an antinomian context authority becomes charismatic, which is to say, personalized and unaccountable. Church law and doctrine are constraints on the authority of clergy. A church of 24/7 "discernment" would be the most clericalist church imaginable.
♦ The Journal for the Social Scientific Study of Religion published a report on the results of a nationwide study of how churches welcome potential new members, "Religion, Race, and Discrimination: A Field Experiment of How American Churches Welcome Newcomers." From the abstract: "We sent email inquiries to 3,120 churches across the United States. The emails were ostensibly from someone moving to the area and looking for a new church to attend. That person's name was randomly varied to convey different racial and ethnic associations. In response to these inquiries, representatives from mainline Protestant churches—who generally embrace liberal, egalitarian attitudes toward race relations—actually demonstrated the most discriminatory behavior."
♦ Years ago, David Yeago told me he saw a sign in front of an Episcopal church: "We accept everybody who accepts everybody." As David pointed out, this proud announcement of inclusion turns out to be code for " Join if you're just like us."
♦ Tareq Oubrou runs the Great Mosque of Bordeaux. Interviewed by Le Point after the Paris attacks in November, he drew attention to the generation gap among French Muslims. The older generation felt itself part of an ancient culture, Oubrou observes, one that had its own Muslim forms of secularization and compromise. It was not French culture, but it was not adversarial. Not so the younger generation, he says. They've rejected the Islamic modes of life that characterize their parents' generation, gravitating toward Salafism, the rigoristic mode that's actually more modern than the Algerian or Turkish or Egyptian modes of Islam brought to France by the first wave of postwar immigrants. It is, he says, "an abstract, disembodied" Islam transmitted by websites funded by radical Islamic groups in the Middle East, rather than an Islam received from their parents or from the Muslim leadership in France itself.
Oubrou is right. We tend to think of radical Islam as a rejection of Western culture. It's that, of course, but it's also a rejection of almost all historic forms of Islam. ISIS is at war with us, true, but it's also at war with a great deal of the Muslim world.
♦ Oubrou also makes the passing remark that the radicalized young Muslims are "heirs to the soixante-huitarde education." In French culture, soixante-huitard (sixty-eighter) serves as a catch-all term for the cultural revolutions of the 1960s. "Ils n'ont pas de repères"—roughly translated, the culture of postmodern France gives the young no landmarks, no orientation, no substantive place to stand with confidence. Given nothing, they are vulnerable to radical Islam, which certainly offers clear orientation. Say what you want about the Paris killers, they knew what they were about. No endless deferral of meaning, no playful irony, no dime-store relativism for them.
This sums up the crisis we face, which is a crisis of the West as much as a crisis of Islam. Our culture of critique dissolves foundations, and those we preserve are often formal, procedural, and disembodied. After the Charlie Hebdo shooting, hundreds of thousands gathered to defend free speech. I count myself a defender as well. But free speech crowns our culture's deeper commitments to the dignity of the human person; it alone cannot serve as the basis for anything thick enough to provide landmarks, or to inspire loyalty. In the United States, the most common experience ordinary people have of our constitutional doctrine of free speech is unlimited pornography. That's not exactly inspiring.
♦ Rod Dreher has put the challenge facing the West in particularly stark terms: "You can't fight something with nothing."
♦ Responding to my observations about the unique taboo against Nazism, a reader wrote to inform me of George Orwell's perceptive review of Mein Kampf. Orwell observed that Hitler better understood human nature than did so many modern figures who assume that people want bread, circuses, and economic goodies. "He grasped the falsity of the hedonistic attitude toward life." Orwell goes on to say, "Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a more grudging way, have said to people 'I offer you a good time,' Hitler has said to them, 'I offer you struggle, danger, and death,' and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet." Orwell observes, "We ought not to underrate its emotional appeal."
♦ David P. Goldman, also known by his pen name, Spengler, has never been someone to mince his words about the dangers of radical Islam. Here's what he has to say about the Trump-inspired idea of stopping Muslim immigration. "I never thought the day would come when I would admonish Americans to show understanding and forbearance towards Islam. In fact, Islam is neither a religion of violence nor a religion of peace: it is an ambiguous set of doctrines from which Muslims may choose peace or violence as they will. To penalize all Muslims for the actions of those Muslims who choose violence is as morally misguided as it is strategically stupid."
I've known David for many years and we've quarreled over what I've thought to be his too negative views of Islam. But in this instance I think he gets it exactly right.
♦ Fr. Robert Imbelli, commenting at thecatholicthing.org about an oft-quoted affirmation made by Irenaeus, the great second-century bishop of Lyon:
In the 1960s and 70s, words quoted from Irenaeus often appeared anonymously on felt banners in churches. The intent seemed to be to coax those attending Mass to "feel good" about themselves. Hence the banners proclaimed: "The Glory of God is Man Fully Alive!" (Gloria enim Dei vivens homo.) You may still come upon the sentiment today, rendered now, of course, in appropriately inclusive language.
In those less than halcyon years, however, I don't recall ever having seen the second part of Irenaeus's sentence. Perhaps it did not fit the flimsy banners or the anthropocentric Zeitgeist. In any case, the second part, the climax of the affirmation, reads: "but the life of man is the vision of God" ("Vita autem hominis visio Dei"). The human person can only find true fulfillment in union with its Creator and Redeemer.
♦ In Great Britain, David Cameron endorsed proposals to monitor religious groups to prevent radicalization. This will require thousands of religious and civic programs that provide six or more hours a week of "tuition, training or instruction" to register with the government. Each program's commitment to "British values" will be assessed. Rev. Dr. Peter Sanlon offered an unvarnished (and accurate) assessment of this remarkable expansion of government supervision of civil society. "It is a car crash of an idea that results from our government's unwillingness to admit that the danger we face is not from religious extremism in general, but a strand of Islamic theology in particular."
♦ There's been a lot of smoke but not much light when it comes to recent political grandstanding about Islam and immigration. Donald Trump has proposed pausing Muslim immigration across the board. President Obama responded by denouncing any idea of a "religious test" as "shameful" and "not American." Michael McConnell clarifies nicely:
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which governs these issues, defines "refugee" as someone who has fled from his or her home country and cannot return because he or she has a well-founded fear of persecution on account of "religion"—as well as race, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. This certainly doesn't let us use a religious test to filter otherwise-eligible immigrants out. But it does mean that when we're deciding who to admit as refugees, religion matters.
So, when we think about religious refugees from the war-torn parts of the Middle East, who are we talking about? Right now, Christians who are being singled out for religious persecution—beheadings, beatings, rape, forced conversions, enslavement. So also Yazidis, Mandaeans, and a few other smaller groups. Many Muslims are also displaced and suffering, but the Islamic State is not systematically targeting them for being Islamic. Our refugee policy should take that into consideration. This is not a "religious test." It
is a persecution test.
No doubt some Muslims are targeted for persecution. One thinks of the groups the U.S. has tried to train to prevail over Assad, an increasingly unlikely outcome that will certainly put these fighters and families in peril. But on the whole, if our government isn't imposing an artificial "diversity" quota (which it may well be doing), the admitted refugees ought to be largely Middle Eastern Christians who are enduring an unprecedented effort of ethnic cleansing in that region.
♦ As I've observed before, the contemporary university is the secular progressive church. A recent Pew survey, Beyond Distrust: How Americans View Their Government, concerned itself mainly with attitudes toward our political institutions. But it also produced results supporting my claim. Only 41 percent of liberal Democrats say that churches and religious organizations have a positive effect on society, and 69 percent say colleges and universities are good influences. Not surprisingly, conservatives are wise to the ideological role the universities now play, and only 48 percent of them say these institutions play a positive role. The same group gives churches high marks. Seventy-five percent say religious institutions have a positive effect on society.
♦ For the last four years, John Silvis has coordinated numerous art shows in our office, making an invaluable contribution to our mission. We can only vote for what we can imagine, and in the always-contested arena of public life, the politics of the imagination is therefore more fundamental than the politics of politics. The politics of the imagination is one of conversation, contemplation, and discovery. Thanks, John, for promoting exactly that. Fr. Paul Anel is taking over for John as the First Things curator. He'll be putting together a show that will open on the evening of January 28.
♦ I'd like to thank all the readers who contributed to our year-end campaign. It is a great blessing to be the editor of a magazine with readers so loyal and generous.

Hope you had a great Christmas! Although numbers report that Americans have spent cautiously this Christmas season, they sure didn't party cautiously. Did you have people over? Better yet, did you throw a big party? There's nothing quite like waking up on December 26th and surveying your apartment or house and realizing that it's a dirty mess, far from immaculate. The Christmas high quickly turns into the post-Christmas low.
Go ahead – take a tour of your home. Is it messy? Did that Christmas party get a little out of hand? Most people dread cleaning after any party, let alone a Christmas party. No one likes it when reality sets in, especially after Christmas. Did someone spill wine all over the carpet? Did your children scoff up the floor while they played with their new toys? Are their pine tree needles, tinsel scraps, and torn wrapping scattered throughout your living room? Good Christmases are often messy ones. Bad Christmases are messier.
If you're not in the mood to scrub floors or vacuum (and who really wants to?), you should give us a call. At My Carpet Cleaning Service, we're more than happy to clean after you. It's as if we're a part of the party! We'll get rid of that post-Christmas hangover and reconfigure your home, carpets, and whatever else that may need cleaning.
Keep in mind that New Year's Eve is only five days away. Are you throwing a party? This time of the year, many people party nonstop. Holidays bring out the worst in homes and carpets. Why not have the holidays bring out the best in them? It may seem like an oxymoron, but you should party on a clean floor and carpet. Don't let your guests judge you for an unkempt home!
Studies have shown that a clean home and atmosphere will improve one's health, attitude, and mental stability. Closed out the old year and bring in the New Year immersed in cleanliness (unless the party gets out of control). Start things off right. Moreover, if you wake up on January 1st and struggle out of bed only to realize that your home is a dirty mess, look no further than My Carpet Cleaning Service.

Friday Excerpt: Being the Best Ex
I'm back to doing the Romantic Friday Writers challenges! This one is themed "Being the Best Ex." There's so many things that could mean. I decided to do mine from my novel Breath(e), showing the great relationship that Elizabeth and Stewart maintain after they are no longer dating. Word Count: 232 *** Elizabeth sighed. "Yeah," she said. Having a real conversation with Susan just wasn't possible; she was too good at deflection. Why did Elizabeth even feel the need to connect with her mother? Couldn't she just leave it be? After all, who had a mother that actually understood? It wasn't even normal for your mother to know you fully. In her room with the door closed she called Stewart on her cell phone. "Remind me that...Read More
Monday Review: Stranger in Town
Stranger in Town by Brenda Novak Review… Summary: A woman with an abusive ex-husband has never experienced real love. The man she falls for is the one that she was responsible for paralyzing. Along with that, a mean guy wants to take the coaching job away from the hero and is going to illegal lengths to accomplish it. The Good: A very proficient, standard romance novel. There's plenty of plot going on here. The premise is really strong and I definitely felt tense about how things were going to work out. New obstacles were introduced regularly and I was rooting for them to overcome. The story moves well and even the child characters are not annoying or too precious. I really appreciate that there was no "cure plotline." Matt was not going...Read More
Friday Excerpt: Characters in Conflict
My Friday excerpts started out when I joined Romantic Friday Writers and was given a theme to write about each week. Considering that it led to the beginnings of the story that is now becoming my novel, (Be)Longing, I think it was very valuable! As I continue to work on that book, in the meantime I thought I'd get back to doing some exercises in order to spark future story ideas. Today's is from http://www.writingforward.com/category/writing_exercises/writing-exercises The Exercise: Sketch two characters who are in conflict with each other. Do not identify a protagonist or antagonist, just create two characters. Both characters should have the potential to be good or evil. Start with physical descriptions, then get inside the characters' heads to...Read More
Monday Review: Me Before You
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes Review… Summary: This is another book in the quad-wants-to-die category, which tends to get me worked up. I'm waiting for a book where the quadriplegic doesn't want to find a way to finish himself off. The quads I've known in real life were grateful to be alive and very appreciative of life, having come so close to losing it. Anyway, the story is that Lou, a charming young woman with a quirky sense of style, gets hired to be the carer for a quadriplegic man even though she has no experience at all. It turns out that she was hired more because of her cheery nature in the hopes that she will help bring him out of depression. Though the subject matter is heavy, it is a chick-lit style book. I was very surprised to...Read More
Inspiration Collage
One of my favorite blogs, A Writer's Journey, is doing a fun blog hop today about inspiration boards. I have just recently started trying this out by making Pinterest boards for the books I'm working on and gathering images there that inspire me in the story. Today I'm giving you the link to the board I've made for Parallel Loves, a science fiction romance that I've been working on for a while now… http://pinterest.com/ruthmadison/inspiration-board-parallel-loves/ I have a rough draft finished and I've been working on revisions for months now.

Admit it. We've all been through that stage. Let me ask you, how many times have you deleted Candy Crush from your phone to "focus" on work, only to download it again before the day ends? How many nights have you lost sleep just to get through that cursed stage? Yes, dear reader, you are not alone.
For those who have not heard of Candy Crush yet, (though, come on, who hasn't?) it is an electronic game first released by King back in 2012. Its objective is to simply connect similar candy pieces and make them disappear. Sound easy? Well, it is NOT. Oddly enough, it's maddeningly challenging yet brainless at the same time.
Its addicting quality hooked millions around the globe. It is truly no surprise that even two years after it was released, a sufficient amount of time for players to get sick of the game and for the hype to die down, you can still hear people bugging their friends to send them lives.
One thing most people do not realize though, is how Candy Crush somehow does reflect true life. It is not just an addictive game that hypnotizes you to stay up late into the night to get through the next episode; it is also a selection of life teachings that persists every time you click that candy-ridden app icon.
Here are 4 truths Candy Crush reflects about our lives outside of the game:
1. It is inevitable to get stuck.
It brings us players great frustration when we can't get through that one cursed level. No matter how much time we invest to "strategize" or ponder on the best move to make, we still lose that valuable life once we run out of moves to make. Similarly, we see the same pattern in life. The unpredictability of the falling candies is exactly life the unpredictability of life itself.
We never know what life will hand us and most times, strategizing once is just not enough. We end up stuck and at a loss of options. May it be in real life or in the game, we can't help but get stuck in certain situations. That's just how life screws us over. At points like this is our lives, there's only one thing left to do:
2. Persist, persist, and persist.
When we get stuck in a level in Candy Crush, we don't stop until we overcome that frustrating hurdle. Never mind the time we have to sacrifice or the things we have to set aside. We acquire that one-track mind to get through the next level. We bug friends to give us more lives, collecting them in our inboxes so we don't have to wait another 30 minutes to try again. Yet, when we encounter real hurdles in our lives, we easily give up. Gone is that one-track mind to succeed.
Ironically, in real life, we don't even have to wait another 30 minutes to try again. We just need to gather enough courage and persistence to stand again regardless of the fear of failing. If there's one way we can take revenge on Candy Crush for ruining our social lives, it's to take to heart the lesson to persist through difficulty.
3. Real life connections are needed to get ahead in the game.
When we started, we all promised ourselves that we would not connect to Facebook. We would not show our friends that we finally gave in to the horrible lure of Candy Crush. Yet, when we reached the end of the episode that required us to ask for tickets, we gave in.Connect to Facebook it is.
Similarly, in real life, we won't get anywhere without the people around us. We won't be able to progress and be at the top of our game. We just have to give into the fact that, as the saying goes, no man is an island. Make friends, acquaintances and even enemies. We amount to nothing when we are alone.
4. Addiction is not necessarily a bad thing.
If being addicted means getting ahead with our eyes on the prize, I don't see what is so wrong about being addicted. However, there should be a limit to that "addiction."
If being addicted to Candy Crush means us threatening to kill each other just to acquire more lives, I really think it's time to stop. On the other hand, a good amount of addiction propels us to reach for the skies. It hands us a one-track mind to succeed beyond all doubt. It gives us the courage to move forward despite the fear of failing. With addiction on our side, we feel no fear, just anticipation of what is to come.
With all these things, the next time you play Candy Crush, I hope you no longer think of it as simply a game. There is depth to everything in this world. It is just up to our human capabilities to discover it.
Tiffany Uy is a 16 year old Chinese-Filipino high school student who studies in Immaculate Conception Academy in the Philippines. During her free time, she loves to surf the internet, read books, play Candy Crush and of course, write about all these adventures and discoveries of hers.

If you spend any time at all on social media, it can't have escaped your attention that a number of private photographs of a number of people (all but one, women) have been stolen and maliciously distributed over the internet via Twitter and the web cess pools that are 4Chan and Reddit. We've chosen not to mention the names of those who have been affected by this out of respect for their privacy and our interest for the purposes of this column this isn't in the the photos but in the internet and wider media's attrocious reactions to the event.
It may sound silly chosing not to name names given they're so widely being mentioned, but it's a matter of principle. These were photos taken in privacy and despite their hack we think the right thing for anyone to do would be to respect that privacy. They weren't leaked but maliciously stolen, reportedly by a hacker from Apple's iCloud. In many cases the subjects believed that these images were deleted and no longer available and frankly its up to them what they do. We shouldn't care.
Unforunately, any chance of privacy for these people has been trashed by the rush to report the names and other details of those affected. We notice that very little mention is made of the man who had his pictures distributed and most reports have focussed on one individual encouraging those who may have had no idea that something had happened to go seek out the images themselves.
Next up is the disturbing trend of some people to switch to victim blaming. Instead of admonishing those who had broken the law and invaded people's privacy, there have been many who have instead blamed the victims for having the pictures taken in the first place and for having them online. This forgets the fact that many images are uploaded automatically now and once in the cloud are very hard to delete. Again we should remember that these were private photos and no one ever thought or intended for them to enter the public domain. Victim blaming is a real problem and one we shouldn't be ignoring - expect plenty of columns in the press over the next couple of days that fall foul of this very real problem.
Then there's the response to the photos being sent directly to those who were affected. Crude, offensive and disgusting comments being sent via Twitter directly to people who have already had their privacy so massively destroyed in the worst way. They're already feeling violated and yet then are subject to a tirade of disgusting abusive language and threats. The same has happened to anyone with any real profile who has stood up to defend those who have suffered from the hack or the subsequent abuse.
We're not linking to any of this stuff - for the simple reason that we don't think it's right to fan the flames and give the scum the attention they clearly crave. If there IS one thing that the events of the weekend have shown, its that there is a huge swathe of society that has no respect for anyone's privacy, feelings OR safety and thinks nothing of persistently abusing and attacking those that are vulnerable.
We only have to look back a few weeks to see just how little we know about what people in the spotlight have to contend with in their lives. The tragic suicide of Robin Williams is evidence if ever we needed it that even the most outwardly vibrant and amiable people can be suffering in ways we can't see. Torrential abuse, can have a massive and terrible affect on anyone from any one of us to anyone in the public eye.
Today I feel ashamed to be a human being.

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone knows if Ken Moody is still doing hog hunts at Clark Range? I am looking for a place to take my girlfriend for her first hunt and when I went to hunt there for the MHH XI and MHH XIII, I had a great time, and it was like a real hunt. It wasn't like a place where they just pulled a hog out of a pen and pushed it through the fence and tell you to shoot it. There was a lot of walking and then when it came down to shooting, it was pretty fast paced and exciting... So does anyone know if that is still in operation, and if not, does anyone have any idea where a good place would be to take my girlfriend for a first hunt, where she WILL get something and have fun doing it? I live in WAY upstate NY and will want to bring the meat back here and not just got to a place, shoot and leave. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jay

Pretty sure he sold it.
From: Fuzzy
Ken sold the operation, the new owner has retained Johnny Thompson as chief guide and operator, and they are running hunts at a comparable price.
I've been told that the facilities have been remodeled and "spruced up"
From: Bou'bound
Also in that area I Caryonah Lodge. Been there twice with excellent results . Same type of deal.
From: Fuzzy
Jay, I am going to a place near me on Jan 6th, if y'all can make that, I will put you up and you can go with. PM me if interested.
From: Kiteman@work
Kiteman@work's Link
I just spoke to Johnny the other night after hearing it was sold. He says things are really looking up at Clarkrange. Completely updated lodges and LOTS of animals. He got me excited about going back. His number is on the website, and he does the booking now. He said the new owners are greenhorns at owning a hunting operation, but they are treating him GREAT and learning.
From: Buffalo1
Ad that is in the April/May 2017 issue of BOWHUNTER Magazine.
From: rooster
Glad to hear that Johnny is still working at Clarkrange, he's a good dude! Also, glad to hear that they are spucing the place up. I still recommend it to anyone inquiring about a hog hunt
From: Kiteman@work
Anybody here been to Clarkrange lately? If so, would love to hear about your experience. Thanks
I don't think Johnny is still at Clarkrange. He sent me something in the mail recently that had information on another place similar that was a little north of there I believe in Jamestown where he is apparently managing now.
Brian got the same flier interesting reading on the rules for guys like you;> also stopped at clarkrange this summer and talked to the guys that are rehabbing the place lots of work being done .
Rules for guys like me? You mean i'm special?
Always to me;
Well thats a relief, You had me worried
No worries lmao
