I want to take ownership of my life. I do! I want to be a proactive person who expresses in equally responsible and adventurous ways. (I'd also like to be thin and rich, but that's another post…)
Anyway, I really want this. I like the idea.
And yet, I have the definite feeling that I am NOT in charge of things, you know? Thusly, I get confused. When things happen as they do (because, let's face it, my life is not normal), I don't know whether to get all upset with myself because I'm an idiot and WHY DO THINGS LIKE THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME and I do everything wrong, that's why and all those not-very-nice things I can sometimes get caught up in saying to myself, or observe it all from a surrendered space and suppose that the Lord works in ways so mysterious as to border on the bizarre.
I mean, you know I believe the Lord has a plan, I just don't know how much steering-the-ship I'm meant to be doing for myself. Like, do I sit back and 'Jesus take the wheel' my way through life, or do I white-knuckle that wheel myself till my hands cramp up? I just don't know. I'm looking for balance. I suspect I'll never really locate it.
Let's recap the last four months or so of my life. a) dating Irishman, make peace with being not-exactly-happy. b) rock star friend lets it slip he's into me. c) reevaluate life. d) break up with Irishman. e) receive blast-from-the-past messages from Old Friend. f) commence intense long distance relationship with Old Friend. g) fall totally in love with Old Friend. h) realize Old Friend is totally NOT who he projected himself to be. i) cry myself OUT of love with Old Friend. j) decide to move across the country. k) get in a major funk and COMPLETELY stop cleaning my apartment. l) kind of pack a little. m) meet a guy.
Excuse me, what the fuck was that last bit?
Yeah. I totally just met a guy.
In the interests of full disclosure, that statement is completely untrue. I did not "just" meet him. I met him something like two years ago, and I have seen him several times since and I always noticed him and was interested, and then I would generally remind myself that I had an Irishman and I should probably make up my mind about life because … Stupid. All of it.
Anyway, I saw him again tonight and this time I'm single, and … Next time I'm depressed, will you please remind me to just go ahead and clean my apartment anyway? Please? Because it's a little embarrassing to bring a guy home to a total shit hole. Thank God I'm moving and I have actually packed a little so that there are boxes strewn about the place in a manner that lends some credibility to my excuse.
I had a St Paddy's Day party to go to tonight. I was tempted to bail because I helped a friend move all day and I was crazy exhausted. But then I remembered that not doing things I've said I would do is deplorable to me, so I pulled myself together and went. "I don't have to stay long," I said to myself in that obnoxious way I have of sometimes saying completely ridiculous things to myself, "But I said I would go, so I'll go. I have to get up early tomorrow anyway, so I'll just pop in for a minute and then come back home." And in a fit of mad idiocy, I believed myself.
To be fair, the friends who were throwing the party are delightful people. This being the case, they have lots of friends. And so I go to their parties, and I usually know something like .07% of the people in attendance, and I stand around looking awkward until I leave. I expected to do the same tonight. Nifty!!
I was on the patio, speaking to the human being I knew, when the aforementioned fella approached and announced he was going to eavesdrop &/or join our conversation. Eventually my friend moved on and Fella and I sat talking to each other. For three or four hours.
And it was good conversation. Now and then another person would wander over and chat with one or the other of us, but we sat and talked to each other all evening.
I have a theory.
If a guy is touchy-feely with people, but never touches you, he likes you. (Or he thinks you are TOTALLY grotesque. Let the reader use discernment.) If, when he does finally touch you in the course of casual conversation, he touches you on the leg, he's into you.
So I sat talking with Fella, and noticing that while he was inclined to touch other people while he talked to them, he did not touch me. Interesting. Then at length he did, and when he did, he touched my leg.
DUDE. He's into me. Duly noted.
Then I had the distinct feeling that our hostess was trying to separate us. I don't know if I was on point with that or not, but it felt that way to me.
We talked a while more, he told me I was pretty a few times, (thank you, thank you.) and then he said, 'Hey, this is really fun. I really like talking to you and I'm having a great time, but I also kind of want to just head out to the front yard and make out with you.'
Oh. Well, hello. That escalated quickly. Sounds delightful.
To the front yard we went. Good times were had by all, (including the neighbors, I'm sure) (Why do I do these things??) and then he asked where I live. 'About a mile that way,' I replied. 'Are you inviting me over?' he said.
Subtlety. A valuable quality in a man.
So we came back to my house. My ridiculously untidy house.
Anyway, there was not sex, in case you're wondering. Why? I can't say that I know, exactly. I'm dead inside? Partly. I'm still not over being told that I'm too overweight and unsexy to be relationship-worthy? Possible. We met through mutual friends who probably belong to the Irishman more than to me and that is sub-optimal? There's that. He was a bit drunk and I wasn't? For sure. I was actually just standing on a street making out with some other guy last night? Yeah, maybe. (Would you look at that? Mayhaps I am related to my brother after all.) (*strains ocular muscle rolling eyes at self in abject disgust… but … also secretly high fives self*)
I felt bad, because he really seemed to want to take it farther, but I just couldn't for all the above reasons and some others I never did identify. And then I confessed I am moving across the country in six days.
"That sucks," he said. "I would totally go out with you."
Now, as a first order of business, I would like to submit that I do realize that just because he seems nice does not mean that he, in point of fact, is nice. And yet, I rather believe he is probably nice.
So, what is this? Is this a 'FML' situation, or an 'Everything happens for a reason'? I don't know. But I do know that 'FML' is not very much fun. I dislike complaining and being hopeless and unhappy. And 'Everything happens for a reason' is hopeful and smiley.
I vastly prefer hopeful and smiley.
But then I also prefer a nice, quiet life where semi-normal things happen and I enjoy myself immensely without being consistently ridiculous.
We don't always get what we prefer.

This recipe was kind of an oops recipe. I had no idea what new flavor to try, but I definitely wanted banana and zucchini in there (because zucchini is my favorite thing to put in my baked oats!). So I thought I'd add some coconut (because why not?) and DUDE. It came out amazing!! It tastes like banana bread AND zucchini bread, and that hint of coconut is the perfect way to bring it all together. Sure, it's getting hot this summer, but it's always a good time for something THIS good.
Baked Piña Colada Oatmeal
When a friend comes up with a new baked oatmeal flavor, you try to make it. And sometimes you crush it in one try, like with this baked pina colada oatmeal. Mmmm, you guys!! This one is totally a hit. I absolutely love pineapple (see last week's pineapple orange juice for further proof) and can't wait to make more of this bad boy this summer. It's like a delicious treat for breakfast, so you can't go wrong.

We're a boutique law firm - which means you get to work directly with one of our founding partners.
Spodek Law Group is one of New York's oldest law firms. Trust us with your legal issue.
Our firm has offices all over NYC and Long Island. We make it convenient and easy.
Marriage is a difficult relationship to navigate successfully. There will always be disagreements and divergences of opinion. There will always be times in which you are simply unable to come together on anything. The severity of these instances vary, but if the fights and arguments have gone on for some time and the two of you seem to be drifting further apart every day then it might be necessary to take a break. Of course, those are not words that many people feel comfortable with. Any kind of separation or period of living apart seems only a step toward a permanent break.
But that need not be the case. Not every couple that separates ends up in divorce. There are cases in which the separation allowed the two individuals reflect, think, and get their priorities straight. There are places in which separation was the best solution to work out the problems of the marriage. If you and your spouse think that legal separation is the way to go, then you should sign up to a separation agreement. The latter is a contract that details how your living apart will be practically managed.
It can be hard to work on a marriage while still living together. The pressure of both trying to occupy the same space and engaging in the honest and searching dialogue that is often needed to get to the bottom of marriage problems can be too much. Living apart for a while provides space—it gives the both of you room to consider your respective positions as well as that of the other.
However, your marital estate must continue to operate in some way. Provision must be made for financial support for you, if your partner is the sole earner, and arrangements must also be made for child support and custody if you have little ones. These can all be sorted out in a separation agreement.
You should get your own lawyer while negotiating the terms of your separation. Even if your spouse has agreed to the separation and the general atmosphere between you seems to be an amicable one, it is essential to have someone who is totally and completely in your corner. You want to ensure that the document that you and your partner sign provides you with everything that you and the children need to live in some measure of material comfort.
These assurances can only be brought about if you have your own lawyer review the agreement and make any needed changes or recommendations. Separation is not the same as divorce, so you will not be operating under state laws of the latter. However, many of the guidelines concerning alimony and child support apply. These can be adjusted as need be, but you should not sign any document that does not give you a fair amount of security while you and your partner work things out.
You need not give up on your marriage because of difficulty. The fact is that as people grow older they change; they begin to have new views, opinions, and aspirations. What you and your spouse have to figure out is whether your two views of life, the respective aims and desires you hold, are still compatible. This is not an easy thing to resolve. It will take time. That is okay. The state has a flexible means by which you can live apart without dissolving your marriage. You should take advantage of it.

Excalibur released the Matrix Bulldog 400 in 2016, and it is the new top of the line in the Matrix lineup. It offers a great mix of Power, balance, and comfort. The Matrix Bulldog 400 is the closest replacement to the discontinued Matrix Mega 405, but comes at a significantly lower price point (See on Amazon). To learn more about this crossbow, keep reading this Excalibur Matrix Bulldog 400 Review.
It is no secret that TenPoint Crossbow Technologies is one of the elite companies in the crossbow industry, so when they revealed the Venom Xtra at the 2016 ATA Show in Louisville, all crossbow enthusiasts took great note of it. The Venom Xtra runs off the same platform as TenPoint's Venom. It has very much the same look and feel but with much more quality features and accessories.
As you can imagine, this crossbow comes with a hefty price (See on Amazon). With such an expensive crossbow, naturally we are wondering if it is worth the price. In this comprehensive TenPoint Venom Xtra review, we'll tell you everything there is to know about this compound crossbow.
Excalibur is known for high quality crossbows, and the new Excalibur Micro 355 is a top rated recurve crossbow (check Amazon.com for current discount promotions). It is one of the lightest crossbows on the market and has a fantastic power to weight ratio. Excalibur released the Micro 355 in early 2016 and it is a great improvement over the Micro 335. In this Excalibur Micro 355 review, I'll cover all the features, specs, what comes in the box, and recommend accessories for this crossbow. By the end of this review, you'll know why this is one of the top rated recurve crossbows that will be around for many years to come.
In 2016 Parker has released the Ambusher, a very versatile, easy to use crossbow with a great price tag. Parker has referred to it as the lightest, most compact high performance crossbow in the industry.

Barnett released several new crossbows in 2016, one of them being the Droptine. The Barnett Droptine crossbow was introduced to help round out the crossbow offerings for hunters looking for more than a beginner crossbow, but not spend as much as a top of the line crossbow.
The Droptine is a good buy if you're looking for a crossbow under $500 (see on Amazon). Barnett discontinued the Brotherhood and essentially re-branded it as the Droptine, but with several enhancements. Intermediate crossbow hunters will find the features plentiful, and the specs are great for the price. I will cover all of those items in detail in this Barnett Droptine review.
Even though Parker has only been manufacturing crossbows since 2002, this company has surely made their mark in the industry. They have created such revolutionary crossbows like the Concord, the first with automatic cocking. Now they are redefining tactical crossbows with innovative features and extreme performance with the Hurricane.
The Hurricane is Parker's latest flagship crossbow that has been designed to compete with the best. In this Parker Hurricane Review, I will look at it's features and performance to see just how it fairs up and if it is worth getting.
A new low cost crossbow has been introduced by Barnett Crossbows in 2016. The Barnett Raptor FX2 is a great intro crossbow that offers a lot of value. It is available in three different packages (see on Amazon). One comes with a 4x32 scope, one with a Premium Red dot scope, and the Lady Raptor FX2 crossbow. In this Barnett Raptor FX2 review, I'll cover the specs, all of the features and the accessories you can pick for this crossbow.
Looking for information on the Barnett Whitetail Hunter 2 crossbow? We're busy working on the review, in the meantime check the current prices on Amazon.com for deals! It's Barnett's top selling crossbow for a reason!
Looking for information on the new and improved Barnett Whitetail Hunter Pro Crossbow? You can check out our review here.
If you're looking for the best crossbow for deer hunting, look no further. The Barnett Whitetail Hunter crossbow was designed specifically for deer hunting in mind, and you will love the features it offers. This crossbow offers a lot of value for the price (see current prices on Amazon). This Barnett Whitetail Hunter review will cover how well it shoots, included accessories, and all of its features that make this a great deer hunting crossbow.
If you're reading this then you have probably heard of the Wildcat C5. You may also know that the Wildcat C5 has been wildly popular. In fact, it is Barnett's bestseller to date. Well, now Barnett has made a new and improved version and they call it the Wildcat C6.
How they came up with such an inventive name I will never know. In this Barnett Wildcat C6 review, we will be closely looking at the new features Barnett has tacked on their bestselling crossbow in order to find out if it is worth getting.
So whether you own the older generation and are looking to upgrade or you just want to get an affordable Barnett crossbow, this article will certainly help you arrive to a conclusion. What you will find out is that the Barnett Wildcat C6 is a relatively low budget crossbow that will appeal to people of all types of experience.
The Barnett Ghost 415 has been replaced with an upgraded Barnett Ghost 420 Revenant (see price on Amazon). See our first look at the Ghost 420 here.
The Ghost 415 is the newest crossbow released by Barnett, one of the best crossbow manufacturers. Its official name is the Barnett Ghost 415 Revenant crossbow. This is definitely one of Barnett's most expensive models (check price on Amazon), but that's because it has all of the bells and whistles, a real top of the line model. It is an upgrade to the extremely popular Ghost 410 crossbow and is titled 415 because, surprise, it shoots at 415 FPS. Keep reading below in this Barnett Ghost 415 review to learn more about this crossbow's features, specs, and why it is a great crossbow to buy.

I know it's June because I am no longer in the mood to create magic in my kids' lunch bags. I'm certainly grateful for peanut butter and jelly (it's organic, ok) at this time of year. Gone are the days of special, cut-out sandwiches and mom's home-baked chocolate chip cookies, folks. In other words, I'm slumping toward the finish line and I'm getting a leg cramp.
We've decided to spend our summer vacation in Vallarta this year. There are a multitude of reasons for this, one being that Vallarta is so full of interesting places to visit.
I can't wait to be a tourist in my own town. Another reason is that we are all ready for a break, after a busy school year for the children and me, and a nonstop high season for my musician husband. It will be wonderful to have few responsibilities and a loose schedule.
The paragraph above is what I wrote to my friends and family in Canada. I left out a portion of the truth, which is included here, because they thankfully do not receive the Tribune there.
The real deal is that we went to Canada last summer, and the big, nasty Canadian dollars cornered our little Mexican bank account on the schoolyard and held its arm behind its back until it cried empty.
My Canadian family and circle of friends have no problem believing that we'd love to spend a summer re-discovering beautiful Vallarta without the crowds, hiking in the jungles, lolling around on the beaches and sipping fruity drinks.
But here we all know that in summer, any walking we do feels like a slog through a swamp. Oh sure, I love the beach in summer, as long as we go before 8:30am and as long no one speaks to me or asks me to play any type of sweat-producing sport such as dodge ball.
And by the way, I was telling the truth when I said I needed a break. However, two kids perspiring, fighting, and running out of batteries on their Wii remotes usually tends to cut into the break time.
So then I check pinterest for project ideas and all I feel is a deep frustration that I can't buy Borax in Puerto Vallarta so that we can make our own silly putty.
What we try to do is be creative with our summer activity planning. For example, a favorite of my husband's is called Let's Go to the Store and Not Buy Anything! The goal of this activity is to stay in free air conditioned comfort for as long as possible while not actually spending any money. It's fun to browse for milk products and frozen french fries until the store manager gently asks if s/he can see some ID. This activity is getting old for the younger family members, who have now figured out that the endless list making in the toy section doesn't seem to pay off.
Well, we have picked up some tricks over the years of summer vacation desperation. We don't actually have a pool, but we have made friends with people who do.
And, if we do enough activities during the week like the store-browsing one, we can have some serious fun on the weekends.
I'll continue to update you on our family's shenanigans as the summer progresses (or degenerates… it kind of depends on your perspective). I'm pretty sure I can find some recipes for silly putty that won't require Borax.

Vancouver, Canada – May 1, 2018
Layfield Australia along with the Seaman Corporation is pleased to announce both parties have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), establishing Layfield as the exclusive distributor of the XR® Geomembrane product line in Australia. Both companies have shared a mutually beneficial relationship in North America for more than 25 years, with Layfield fabricating and installing the high-quality XR Geomembrane materials in multiple applications.
The XR Geomembrane product line will have the support of a Technical Representative in Australia to assist engineers, contractors, fabricators, installers and facility owners. Moving forward, Layfield will also be stocking inventory in several strategic locations to serve the market more effectively.
Layfield is currently celebrating its 40th Anniversary as one of North America's most respected Geomembrane Containment and Geosynthetics companies.

Cleveland, USA - Amish victims of beard and hair-cutting attacks were hypocrites who only pretended to live an Amish life, the daughter of the sect leader facing hate crime charges testified on Monday.
Barbara Yoder, who was a reluctant prosecution witness, testified that she had heard accounts of the attacks from members of the sect led by her father, Samuel Mullet Sr., after the fact and had overheard some planning for the attacks.
Mullet and 15 of his followers face federal hate crimes charges for attacks on nine Amish men and women in southeastern Ohio last fall in which the victims' beards and hair were cut.
Prosecutors contend the attacks were religiously motivated. Amish women and married Amish men believe not cutting the hair or beards are a symbol of living a righteous life.
Mullet was not present for the attacks, but prosecutors believe he encouraged and even orchestrated them as retaliation for disputes he was having with other Amish religious leaders.
The other religious leaders accepted into their communities families who had been shunned or ex-communicated by Mullet. Under normal circumstances a person shunned by one Amish community would be shunned by all.
Yoder, who responded tersely to prosecutors' questions, said she believed the attacks would eventually help the victims to receive salvation.
Yoder also described some of the discipline Mullet's followers voluntarily endured, including sleeping for weeks in a chicken coop or cutting their own hair and beards.
Under cross-examination, Yoder testified that Mullet knew of the attacks but did not order them. However, when prosecutors asked Yoder if Mullet had ever told anyone not to carry out the attacks, she said, "No."
The defendants contend the attacks were motivated by family feuds and child custody disputes within the Amish community and did not rise to the level of hate crimes.
Prosecutors have sought to show the attacks were motivated by religious disputes, a key element in proving a hate crime. An expert on the Amish testified Monday about the differences of opinion between Mullet and other Amish religious leaders.
Donald Kraybill, an Elizabethtown College professor and an expert on Amish life, told jurors, that the Amish world is divided on the tenets of ex-communication.
He told jurors that 300 Amish religious leaders met in 2006 to make a one-time exception to disallow the excommunications by Mullet, which normally would apply to all groups.
"It was an earthquake in the Amish community," Kraybill explained. "The Amish believe that decisions made in the church are ratified in heaven."
Prosecutors are expected to call two more witnesses on Tuesday when the trial continues in Cleveland federal court. After that, defense attorneys are expected to argue for dismissal of the charges.

The Global Good Fund (GGF) sure did help One World Education (OWEd) rack up some frequent flyer miles this year! That wasn't the direct goal, but GGF challenged us to be bold and expand our programs to schools across the country. So, with their help we attended our first series of national conferences and presented our innovative teaching and learning model to educators around the country.
While at the final of these conferences, SXSWEdu, I'm taking some time to reflect on how all this moving around started. First, nearly a year ago, The Global Good Fund assigned me the expertise of a sector professional to help refine my annual goals for my leadership in One World Education. They then provided the capital and coaching to ensure these goals were accomplished.
Prior to our work with the Global Good Fund, OWEd established itself as the largest, and one of the most successful and cost efficient, literacy programs in the Capital Region. However, it was relatively unknown beyond our immediate impact area. Naturally, one of our main goals was to expand our base of programs to schools and districts beyond Washington, DC. To do this, the GGF helped us invest in the development of marketing materials and covered the expenses for OWEd to attend the most prestigious, education conferences.
In November, One World Education attended and presented at two conferences. First, several of our teachers attended the National Conference of English Teachers. This was an appropriate destination because of the challenges teachers all over the country face trying to improve student writing skills. Teachers from all 50 states were introduced to our proven and student-centered model.
At the same time, I was in Boston at the National Conference of Social Studies Teachers. Our presence was critical there because I've always told my fellow social studies teachers that the One World Writing Program is really a humanities program in disguise. At this conference I also had the honor to lead a presentation for a national audience, called: Merging Common Core Standards with Innovative Writing Strategies.
As I write this, I'm in Austin, Texas for the final of these education conferences the GGF helped us reach. Among some of education's most innovative thought leaders, I'll be able to share the work that we, and many others, feel is part of the student and teacher-centered rethinking of education in our country. I know that I would not be here without the partnership of the Global Good Fund.
In another few weeks I'll attend the Global Good Fund's welcoming summit of the next class of Fellows. I'm excited for where this opportunity will take them. For One World Education, this fellowship not only helped us move around the country to expand our programming, it helped us move very far forward!

Honor [esteem, value as precious] your father and your mother [and be respectful to them]–this is the first commandment with a promise–.Ephesians 6:2
I am tremendously blessed to be invited into the lives and homes of several of our CHBC families and to be able to share with you how God is at work among us. This week we are visiting with Greg and Tina Burgin and Tina's mom, Ethel in their home in Durham. Tina writes,
Greg and I met in the singles group at the Bible Church in 1985. We married in 1992 and have been members of the Bible Church for many years. Greg is from Pensacola, Florida and I am from Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
My interest in hospitality began when I was in my 20's. I was serving on the singles ministry team at my church and saw great examples of hospitality from the wife of my pastor and others on the committee. I learned that hospitality wasn't necessarily fancy dishes or a "perfect meal," but rather an atmosphere where guests felt at home and comfortable. It was about people and fellowship and showing them they were special.
The most recent way Greg and I practice hospitality is through being caregivers for my mom, Ethel. In 2010, we invited Mom to come live with us in Durham. We made an apartment space upstairs in our house for her. She loves it. She feels safe knowing we are close by. Early on in caring for Mom, I realized that I could keep going at my same pace with the daily routines, or I could slow down so she and I could celebrate our time together. I am so glad for that decision. We are still celebrating!
Over the eight years mom has been with Greg and me, she is still so appreciative of our care for her. Our roles have changed and we have had to be intentional about spending time together. Mom has always encouraged us to "get away without her." Caregiving is a 24/7 awareness that we are always "on call." Taking breaks from that is our way of staying healthy. Even through the trials and bumps in the road, the Lord reminds me that what we are doing is a blessed thing.
A funny story that comes to mind is when Greg goes to a certain fast food restaurant and surprises Mom with an apple turnover. He takes it up to her living room and she makes her "happy sounds" and gives him kisses on his hand!
Love you Mom.
Tina and Greg are doing a beautiful job of extending hospitality in their home to Ethel. Many of us are extending care to our aging parents in a variety of ways. For some of us, this care may mean bringing our parents to this area so that we can better attend to their needs.
- Rick and Sonya Hove are caring for two aging dads – Rick's here now in Durham and Sonya's in Kansas.
- Carol Younkin is making frequent trips to Ohio to care for her 91 year-old mother. Carol's mother was hospitalized earlier this week with a possible stroke, so she's on the road yet again.
- Tom and Carol Boney lead Tom's sibling team as they, for now, provide their mother the opportunity to remain in her own home in Graham, NC, doing all that they can to keep her safe and healthy.
I know there are many more of you; I just don't know your stories yet. I hope to hear from you. We must encourage one another, magnifying God together, as we honor and care for our parents.

Sasquatch may be getting a lot of press lately but Whitehall's notoriety as being the Birthplace of the U.S. Navy is alive and well.
Whitehall's heritage director Carol Greenough announced to the town board recently that the Skenesborough Museum is now the proud owner of a flag flown by the USS Enterprise – the U.S. warship, not that of Star Trek infamy.
"It was a flag that flew on the USS Enterprise when it was commissioned," Greenough said.
But how did the flag of a U.S. warship make its way to Whitehall, one of five towns which claim ownership to the title of Birthplace of the U.S. Navy?
This is only a preview of the story published in the Whitehall Times. To read the full story, pick up a print copy of this week's paper at the newsstand or read it online here.

For the second straight year, San-Francisco-based Fitbit Inc. reported lower-than-expected annual and fourth quarter earnings, prompting CEO James Park to say that the company will "focus on managing down expenses" in 2018.
In a Feb. 26 earnings report, Fitbit reported a $3 million decrease in 2017 fourth quarter revenue to $570.8 million, as well as a drop in 2017 annual revenue from $2.17 billion to $1.62 billion year-over-year. This marks Fitbit's lowest sales year since 2014.
The company also announced it expects a revenue decrease of at least 15 percent in the first quarter of 2018, as well as only $1.5 billion in 2018 year-end revenue. Park attributed these conservative projections to limited returns on new products and shifting consumer demand to smartwatches.
"We made important progress in 2017 under rapidly changing market conditions" Park said in the report. "We delivered on our full-year guidance and drove down operating expenses while continuing to invest in innovation. ... In 2018 we'll focus on managing down expenses, continuing to expand in the smartwatch category and supporting our engaged global community on their health and fitness journeys."
Fitbit reported 5.4 million devices sold in the fourth quarter—the first full quarter in which its new Ionic watch was available—and 15.3 million devices for the year. Year-over-year, that compares to 6.5 million and 22.3 million, respectively.
The Ionic, Alta HR and Fitbit Aria 2 and accessory Fitbit Flyer represented 31 percent of the year's revenue. In today's highly competitive wearables market, Park noted that Ionic sales were hindered because it is not a "mass appeal watch," leaving the company to reconsider its commitment to strict activity trackers.
As of Dec. 31, 2017, Fitbit claimed 25.4 million active users, a 9 percent increase year-over-year.
"While I am optimistic about our progress, there is still a lot of work to do," Park said in the report. "We expect it to be a multiyear transition process and will leverage our core assets of brand, community and data to focus on four key areas: adapting to the changing wearable device market, deepening our reach into healthcare, increasing our agility and optimizing our cost structure, and transforming our business from an episodic-driven model centered around device sales in more recurring non-device revenue."
After closing at $5.54 on Feb. 26, Fitbit shares dropped 11.5 percent to $4.90 during after-hours trading on the NASDAQ.
As part of its new commitment to healthcare, Fitbit recently announced it will acquire health coaching platform Twine Health.

This Canada Violet was growing along a hiking trail in Shenandoah National Park when I was there last May.
Daisy Fleabane
This daisy fleabane was blooming along a hiking trail in Shenandoah National Park at the end of May.
Knowing "bane" loosely means something that is hated by or makes something's existence more difficult, I thought fleabane was an interesting name for a wildflower so I looked it up. Folklore has it these plants can be dried and used to keep fleas away. That explains the name.
Blackberry Blossoms
The bees in Shenandoah National Park were busy pollinating blackberry blossoms growing along the Dark Hollow Falls trail when I was last there.

Black Eyed Susan
It's been a very busy summer and I haven't spent as much time with my camera as I would have liked so I'm pulling out some photos from last year that I never got around to publishing.
This Black Eyed Susan was growing in a forest meadow alongside wild daisies. It looked sort of like the odd man out, surrounded by white flowers. I took a few photos of the lone blooming Black Eyed Susan surrounded by Daisies but I preferred this more closely cropped image of the flower.

Resources For Writers
When I started writing I was no less than a lost soul in this big ocean of literature so trust me when I say that I know how it feels to not have a clue about where to begin and how to go about the process of writing. I sometimes feel that way even now, but after having written two novels I know that this is all just part of the process of writing.
In order to help writers, I've worked on the following articles and podcasts in the hopes of helping those who need help either in learning the basics of fiction writing or just to find their muse or need a small reminder of the basic writing concepts (I, for one, constantly read these articles and podcasts in order to revise my basics.)

Burnside Named VP & General Manager of Tooling Operations
10/27/18 – Pine Bluff, AR
Central Moloney, Inc. (CMI) recently announced the newest member of their senior leadership team, Jason Burnside. Burnside's journey as the Vice President & General Manager of Tooling Operations began in October of 2018, but his stellar leadership did not start there. Over 20 years ago, his vision to open a premier source for tooling to companies across the world was realized. As with any start up, this venture was not easy in the beginning. But his will, determination and dedication fostered growth beyond his imagination and a reputation of excellence. Now Burnside brings those experiences to CMI along with a desire to contribute to the overall future of the company and continued successes for the facility he has nurtured since its inception.

My husband is an Inspector at work. That is his job..to inspect the work the sub-contractors or contractors do after they do their jobs; in order to make sure things have been done correctly; so they can be paid.
Then, he comes home to me. Lately, he has been stressed. A lot is going on at his job and a lot is going on at the house. The house is looking really good and getting into shape. However, the process seems never-ending now that things have started.
Anyway, he comes home. This is what occurs.."I thought you were going to clean the floor. Did you see the spot? Don't you know how to clean a floor? There's another spot. You have to sweep the new floor every day. Don't you ever water the back or front yard anymore?, etc.etc." I want to snap back at him but I don't. That would just start a useless argument. I've hinted that it would be nice if he helped but as he points out; he does work outside the house and I don't.
We did have an agreement that I would take care of the inside and he would take care of the outside of the house but we were both working then and he hired a Gardener. Of course, he is spending a lot of money for this house decorating and I don't want to piss him off right now either. New furniture is coming (okay, we need to find it) probably next wknd..one of which is probably going to be an indoor Chaise as we are selling our indoor Living Room Furniture and getting all new.
He and I were both talking about the fact that he needs to go back to the gym again as that usually helps him de-stress and puts him in a much better mood.

Nick Suttner of 1up just posted his review. Here's a quote:
Braid is made truly divine with emotional depth and a bittersweet humanity — a monumentally relevant game…
I just read that review myself and came here to congratulate you on the deserving reception Braid received from 1UP, as well as all the other media outlets who have, and soon will, enjoy this game as much as your fans did.
Congrats! Any chance of a PC port in coming months?
Doh, just read your post about the PC version. That's awesome to hear.
I'm very excited about a PC version. I genuinely want to play this game right now, I even have an Xbox360… but I'd rather give YOU $20 than give Microsoft part of the 15 bucks that is being charged on XBLA. I hope the PC version comes out very soon. 🙂
well deserved! glad to see a well thought out 2D game making a splash in the industry. beautiful game. congrats once again!
I've been playing it for the last couple of hours and am truly impressed and pleased. Thank you.
congrats on the absolutely amazing review scores. the game got great scores on 1up, eurogamer and edge, a rare thing from what i've seen.
i hope the game nabs game of the year at at least on of the big sites come the end of the year!
Congratulations on shipping your first game, you must be very proud.
Braid is one of the best looking games I've played, and has a wonderful soundtrack.
However, it is very disappointing that the game isn't very fun to play.
The initial puzzles are easy and very engaging, but the later levels were more difficult than they needed to be. There were instances when I felt I had a puzzle solved, only to reveal a second level of complexity I wasn't anticipating. As such, the game very rarely felt rewarding, as I was so frustrated by the time I had finally completed a puzzle, that it wasn't very satisfying. The experience was therefore akin to having completed an arduous household chore with little reward at the end of the ordeal.
Your game would have proved a far more memorable, immersive experience, if a few more simpler puzzles been peppered throughout the game, in order to guide the player to the correct course of action in some of the more difficult challenges.
I look forward to playing a game that uses the same wonderful artistic and musical direction that you were able to assemble for Braid.
All the best.
It's some kind of poetic justice. The game is really amazing with a oldschool feeling and a fresh game concept. It's beatiful and funny.
But I want' to tell you somethng that maybe you don't know. The spanish translation of your game for the european marketplace is perfect, with poetry and a good narrative sense.
Thank you for your great work.
Braid is the most wonderful game I have ever played. The end level is amazing. It's pure genius. PURE genius. It's incredible! I'm completely struck dumb by the insight and effort put into this game! I love it!
[spoiler deleted]
Congratulations for your game.
I've been following Braid's development these last years and allways thought that something different was in the works.
Again (and it's not the first time I ask! :))… please try and bring this to the PS3. I'm sure it would be very well received.
Please delete spoilers, I can't read your blog if I can't scroll down, because some inconsiderate ass is going to put a spoiler in the comments. It doesn't work declaring it as a spoiler seeing as how the page works top to down and I have to keep scrolling down to read more comments.
I want to say the experience I have had playing this game has been both memorable, challenging in new ways to what I'm used to in games and fun.
I am really greatful that this game was made and Johnathan getting into debt because he wanted to get this game out there, Iwould really look forward to this whole process.
Its been so long since I sat in a session like I have with this game to complete it and then think about it the next day. Really enjoyed the experience (which this game really is).
A+ / 10 from me (not like that counts for anything) and look forward to whatever future work we see.
PS: more of my gushing here
Well deserved, this and all the other praise for this game. As a 30 year-old lifetime gamer, I have never had the pleasure of playing anything quite like Braid, just excellent — fresh, clever, and remarkably earnest. You have my gratitude for reigniting my recently-flagging interest in gaming, and I believe your hard work will continue to be well met and greatly rewarded.
My friend, thank you for this game.
so i guess Microsoft had a contract with you that is force u to stay on as a 360 exclusion??i can find out for u if Sony would want it since they do like responding to me!!!!
As far as time frame im sure sony could help u like they did help the one guy that made everyday shooter.
let me know if u want me to find out it wont take too long for me to get an answer.
also there is a demand fr this game on the playstation side.playstation fans love downloadable games.i know i mean soud like a tired record its just that i truly believe sony would want this game.i also know alot of people on the psn want this game.
I long for the PC version so badly… :'(
Yes, this is quite a fantastic game so far. 🙂 World 4 could have been a game by itself.
Although I really hope the PC version will have mod tools. If it does I'll pay again for it. 🙂
Mind you.. from what I've heard about the ending, I'm getting the feeling I'm not going to like it.
I wanted to congratulate you on the game. It looks like Braid is getting great sales along with those fantastic reviews looking at the leaderboards. The entire experience has been extremely refreshing and I look forward to your next project.
Suttner got it right. All I can say is thank you.
I've only been able to get through the first 3 levels because I probably live a life too much like the main character, but I cannot wait to play some more tomorrow morning before work.
To be honest, I was late into the office today because of Braid. Time simply disappeared. And unfortunately I can't rewind…
thank u so much 4 this game
I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for this awesome game. I was hanging out with friends one night, and talking about how much I liked Legend of Zelda and similar puzzle games. A friend mentioned this awesome game that he thought I would like, so I tried Braid out on his Xbox. And I have never thought the same about video games.
One thing I believe games lack these days is a sense of meaning. I love both Sonic and Mario, but they get repetitious after a sense, and all the heightened graphics seem to be nothing but cover-up for poor, monotonous gameplay. Your game not only contains awesome graphics but a sense of actual meaning. The journey one takes in Braid means something to each and every person, which is what I think makes it so unique and awesome.
Fortunately, I was unable to finish Braid that night (at 3 in the morning!) so I have something wonderful to look forward to when the PC version comes out. 🙂 Good luck with your future ideas, and thanks for giving the world what a videogame should be.

Dean Keates: Northampton clash the biggest Walsall game in two years
Boss Dean Keates believes Walsall's six-pointer against Northampton is the biggest game the club has faced for two years.
The Saddlers currently sit 20th in League One and are only out of the bottom four on goal difference.
But their survival hopes were boosted on Tuesday when Southend beat Oldham and Rochdale could only draw at home to Plymouth. Now Walsall have three games to get the points needed to stay up while their rivals – including Northampton – have just two.
And Keates admits the Saddlers will only have themselves to blame if they don't survive.
"We're accountable for what happens in the next three games," Keates said.
"It's still in our hands. We control what league Walsall Football Club is in next season.
"We spoke to the lads before Tuesday's night games and we said – no matter what happened – we were still in control of our own destiny.
"The league table looks a little bit better for us but we are in charge of what we do.
"We have got a massive game against Northampton. It's probably the biggest game for a couple of years for the football club. All being well we'll get the points we want."
Walsall slipped to an unfortunate 1-0 loss against Scunthorpe last weekend.
And while Keates admitted that result was tough to take, he insisted the players remain in good spirits.
"It was disappointing – really disappointing against Scunthorpe," he continued. "I walked into their manager's office after the game, and I know it's easy for them to say but they felt we were unlucky and they'd got out of jail.
"They were impressed with us and how we worked together as a collective unit. We were hard to break down.
"The players were disappointed but we have to give the lads some credit, they gave it a right go and I think we made a team that is in the play-offs not look like they should be there.
"That is a positive for us. But obviously, we didn't get any points.
"We have learnt from it, it's another individual error.
"If we can eradicate them in the next three games we will be OK."

- Description
The single malts of Islay are arguably Scotland's most talked-about whiskies and are recognised for their sweet, fruity flavours and smoky, peaty character. Port Askaig is a range of single Islay malt whiskies aiming to achieve the perfect balance of these flavours and embody the unique spirit of Islay and its people.
The range has been developed to appeal to the novice whisky drinker, while meeting the demands of the most discerning of whisky connoisseurs. Sukhinder Singh, one of the UK's most respected whisky experts, has selected what he considers to be the most perfectly balanced Islay single malt and created a range that he believes will become recognised as a true Islay classic.
Each expression within the range is bottled in limited batches. While recognising that each bottling will vary, the aim is to achieve a consistency of quality and character over time. To ensure each whisky maintains its original flavour and character, the whiskies are not chill-filtered and no colouring is added.
In a world of change and innovation, there is still a place for the tried-and-tested approach. The traditional yet contemporary look of the packaging and expert cask selection will ensure Port Askaig stands side by side with Islay's more established brands.
The youngest age-statement release in the Port Askaig range of single malts from an undisclosed Islay distillery.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of charcoal, salted crisps and a good squeeze of lemon. Soft salted caramel brings a sweetness to the palate, with waves of coastal peat smoke crashing underneath. Medium length finish, with a hot kick of peppercorn.
