Demanding and arrogant, he expects others to treat him highly - seeing himself as superior - and disregards those who aren't important to him in his book. He doesn't regard any mistakes Theodore has made and would deny making any due to his perfectionist complex and blame it on someone else instead. He's also known for being blunt and quite cold and controlling, ordering people around and gets upset when they don't listen to him. The more someone warms up to Theodore the more they realize how rather sensible he is but has a very difficult time showing that he actually cares for people. He is extremely reserved, keeping most of his life under wraps - only boasting about his father's wealth and power - and bottles up emotions since emotions are nothing but weak and petty in his book. A way of showing his care is by helping those he finds his allies, but denies any sort of involvement or help. Theodore is rather intelligent, showing off his intellect on more than one occasion. He has a great love of books of all kinds of genre and refuses to put down a book once he reads it. A good story or new, valuable information of any kind genuinely interests him and keeps what he's learned, either by remembering or writing it down. History On one the 21st of February, 1998 in Hamhung, North Korea, a meek young lady named Sun walked into a large, mansion-like house which belonged to mob boss Seung Kang. The young woman at the desk, Park Seohyeon asked Sun to follow her to Kang's office. She followed Seohyeon into the elevator and into Kang's office where Kang was waiting for her. After a long conversation and a warning about that if Sun betrays the mob, he wouldn't hesitate to kill her, Sun took the job, but not only that, but Kang found Sun very beautiful. 3 weeks after Sun joined, Kang called Sun into his chambers for something very important. Once she arrived, Kang made his move on her and it went out with a bang. The next morning, Kang found Sun getting dressed, but told Kang she was "dying" and needed to leave. Kang wasn't sure if she could trust her, but let her go. Once Kang went into work, he told Park that Sun was no longer with us. Seohyeon simply nodded, not much caring for the news since Sun and Seohyeon weren't exactly close. 9 months later, 21st of October, Kang heard the doorbell ring. Once arriving, he found a small child in a cradle in front of his door, a note attached to the handle of the cradle reading, "Dear Kang, this may come as a shock to you, but my name is Cybele and I'm a goddess. The child you see in the cradle is your son. I do hope you take care of him and treat him well. -Cybele" Exhaling, Kang did as Cybele requested and cared for the child. At age 10, a boy named Seung Hyunki was raised by Kang to be perfect, since they were very wealthy. Hyunki was in private school for young prodigies. Since Hyunki was the son, and heir, of Kang, Kang's soldiers treated Hyunki with utmost respect, and when Kang wasn't around, Executive Park Seohyeon would take care of Hyunki, making sure the boy was well cared for. Despite all that, Hyunki was a spoiled brat, thinking Seohyeon and Kang's soldiers are below him since he was very rich. Age 13, Hyunki was partaking in Physical Education when a giant dog-like creature came abroad the school, Hyunki was afraid of beast while the other children were trying to get the beast to follow them. But, once the creature began havoc, that's when things got chaotic. Hyunki ran far away from the beast while the other teachers helped the other students evacuate the building. Once Hyunki was safe, he called his father's executive to come pick him up. Unfortunately, the creature found him again. Screaming in a panic, he went to run, but the beast clawed at him, leaving his cheek bleeding. Before the being could make another move, it was impaled by a bronze-like weapon, whimpering in excessive pain. Startled and terrified of the weapon, Hyunki ran. Whatever happened to the beast, Hyunki wondered, but, Seohyeon arrived on time, taking Hyunki home to get his injury cleaned up. Once arriving home, Kang scolded his son for being a coward and running away from a fight. Hyunki, tried to hopelessly defend himself onto why, but Kang quickly shut him up, growling that he was right, and always will be. "From now on," Kang said, "you will not, run, you will fight, like a real man." After that, his father scheduled fencing lessons so Hyunki would able to defend himself, but, his father would punish him in the worst ways possible to teach Hyunki never to make mistakes, whether it was schooling or fencing, which ended up Hyunki in pain and afraid to make a mistake, never asking for help, thinking that someone helping him is a sign of weakness due to his father's influence. Kang always told his son that "he was perfect beyond compare", downgrading his own son. Not to mention, turning Hyunki cold and harsh towards anyone, trying to act like his father. When Hyunki was 14, Lee began to walk home, when he noticed a black van suspiciously following him. Keeping calm, he waved it off, but he couldn't shake the feeling he was being watched. Panicked, he quickened his pace, but before he could, a rough hand grabbed him, drugged him, knocking Hyunki unconscious. Hyunki awoke in a dim lighted room, ropes bound his hands together to keep him from escape. A masked man walked in, smiling wickedly. "Don't worry, little boy," the man growled, "you're safe here… for now." Hyunki's eyes widen in fear, struggling to break free. As the man left, Hyunki began chewing on his bottom lip until it turned raw. What felt like years were actually weeks. Hyunki's kidnapper would do devastating and sadistic things to the boy just for his pleasure which ended Hyunki in more pain than he can bear. Hyunki just wanted to be freed, not caring who came to his rescue. Finally, Hyunki's father came to get him alright, paying a certain fee to free his son, but his father announced that they would be moving to America, California, at that. Hyunki questioned him, asking him why. His father simply said, "it's better that way." Hyunki nodded, his father's icy glare shutting him up. Throughout Hyunki's life, his father's and his name were changed. Hyunki's name was now, Theodore Beauregard, and his father, Kingsley Beauregard. Theodore didn't mind very much, he was quite fond of the name. Sadly, Theodore faced large dogs each year as he turned older. But thankfully, be rid of them by running and losing them. Theodore had gotten faster at running, to impress his father. What happened to the dogs, Theodore didn't know. All he knew was he was safe. But, the older he grew, the more the beasts came. His father decided to move again – to New York. As Theodore turned 17, he was talking a stroll with his "friend" he grew less of an annoyance to, Clay, when he heard screaming. Clay and Theodore exchanged looks before going to see what the commotion was. Theodore and Clay were faced with a giant scorpion. Theodore stood frozen as the giant scorpion advanced towards him. Clay stabbed it and sliced at it with a bronze rapier. Theodore barked at Clay to explain to him what was going on. "Listen Theo," Clay started off hesitantly, "you're a demigod, a son of Cybele. I-I tried to find you sooner, I really did! But, Cybele's instructions were rather vague and confusing, so, I had troubling finding you!! Look, we need you to get you to camp, come on!!" Clay exclaimed. Theodore, in shock into what he was hearing, followed Clay. Once arriving at camp, Clay gave Theodore his Celestial Bronze rapier, saying it was a gift from his mother. He also explained it can turn into a bracelet. The rapier formed into bracelet form. Theodore thanked Clay for the weapon, and walked into camp. Powers Powers of a Child of Cybele: Contents 1 Offensive 2 Defensive 3 Passive 4 Supplementary 5 3 Months After Character is Made 6 6 Months After Character is Made 7 9 Months After Character is Made 8 Traits Offensive Children of Cybele have the ability to transform any aspect of earth into any weapon they desire. Only one weapon can be created at a time and it cannot be bigger than the one who created it. Children of Cybele can create a small tornado formed of leaves and grass blades. As the floral tornado spins faster, the leaves and grass blades become hard and strong enough to cut an someone. When the tornado's at it's fastest, the child can launch the blades of grass and the leaves at an opponent. Defensive Children of Cybele have the ability to make an opponent feel as if their feet have become hardened and stuck to the ground, making their movements slower.If the user attacks while this power is in effect, it automatically wears off. So the power is purely defensive. Children of Cybele are able to create a earth wall, no larger than 2 to 3 times the size of the user, to temporarily block attacks. Passive Children of Cybele have the innate ability to communicate with all wild animals. Children of Cybele become more sensitive to their surroundings and feel stronger when in mountains, caves and forests. Children of Cybele heal faster when they touch a piece of nature such as a tree or a flower. Supplementary Children of Cybele can telekinetically move elements of nature, such as rocks, plants and vines. The part of nature must be roughly two to four meters away from the child, cannot be 2 or 3 the size of the user. The bigger the element of nature and the more elements moved, the more energy is drained. Children of Cybele can create small boulders roughly two times the size of the child, this can be used for a diversion, hiding, or thrown as a weapon. However the longer the boulder is used, the more energy is drained. Children of Cybele have the innate ability to call upon all nearby wild animals for aid in battling, as well as take control over animals that others are controlling (such as a child of Zeus with birds or a child of Poseidon with horses etc.). The larger the group of animals, the more energy is drained. Children of Cybele can use dirt, mud, rock, stone, etc to teleport anywhere on Earth. Which could be known as Earth-Travel. The user merges with the earth beneath them and reforms elsewhere. The further they travel the more energy it drains. 3 Months After Character is Made Children of Cybele have the ability to create quicksand pits around a small area for a short time, the larger the quicksand pit is, the more energy is drained. 6 Months After Character is Made Children of Cybele can create a powerful quake affecting everything within 10 meters of them. The power of the quake can be scaled depending on how long the user wants it to last. A quake that just knocks the opponent over may last 20 seconds. A quake that throws them a few feet in the air may last 5. Finally, the whole quake may be focused into a single shock-wave with the power to bounce a car a half meter or so. This requires several moments of focus beforehand, lasts only a few seconds, and can only be used once every few hours. During the quake, the user is immobile. The user is quite drained after the earthquake subsides. 9 Months After Character is Made Children of Cybele have the ability to morph into a lion/lioness for a short time. They can turn into either a full lion or a humanoid cat form. In the human/lion form, they are twice as faster and stronger than before. Their senses are also quite sharper as well. They also tend to be more violent and volatile in this state. Once the transformation ends, the user is extremely drained. Using the hybrid form is more draining rather than the full lion form. They will not be able to move and could possibly faint. Traits Children of Cybele typically love animals and act protective of them. Becoming vegetarians and taking on many pets are common actions for her children. Children of Cybele tend to excel at rock climbing, mountain climbing, etc. Children of Cybele normally love being outside and enjoying what nature has to offer. Even to the point where they possess an intense love and overprotective spirit over nature. Children of Cybele will often grow up to be zoologists, geologists, veterinarians, ecologists etc. Appearance Model: Hwang Min-hyun Eye Colour: Brown Hair Colour: Varies Height: 5'7 Weight: 123 lbs Voice Type: Tenor Blood Type: O+ Distinguishing Marks: Small scar on cheek Body Style: Average More Images Add a photo to this gallery Family & Childhood Information Father: Kingsley Beauregard Mother: Cybele Creator: None Full Siblings: None Half Siblings: Other children of Cybele Spouse: None Children: None Other Relatives: None Home: Hamhung, North Korea Schooling: Private First Kiss: None First Sex: None First Love: None wip Relationships Template:Theodore Relationships Trivia Name Meaning: Theodore (Θεόδωρος): "God-given"Hyun-ki (휸기): "Wise and energy"Beauregard (Beauregard): "Respected; regarded highly" Favourite Colour: Gold Favourite Movie: Undecided Favourite Song: Anything classical Favourite Food: Cherries Favourite Drink: Coffee Most Important Before: Himself Most Important After: Himself Custom Trivia: Theodore is the heir to a powerful underground criminal organization Theodore has a perfectionist and superiority complex Possessions: Theodore's Rapier Theodore's Rapier in Bracelet/Cuff Form Theodore's Phone (iPhone 6) Theodore's pet goat, Zoey Theodore's glasses1/5Add photo Retrieved from "https://camphalfbloodroleplay.fandom.com/wiki/Theodore_Beauregard?oldid=1751381" Categories: Alterdevil Theodore Beauregard Hwang Minhyun Demigods Children of Cybele Male Brown Hair Brown Eyes Korean Born in 1998 Born in October Tenor Type O+ English speaker Neutral Accent 5'7 Homosexual Ambidextrous Single Asian Minhyun 3 Month Power 6 Month Power 9 Month Power Average Build Community content is available under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted.

It's become a tough to answer this question. Which one is the best – Single storey home or multiple storey home. Whether you are planning to buy or construct a home, looking for a rental home, or you want a property for an investment purpose. But still, you get confused between the two as everything comes with its pros and cons. Then first, you should find out your purpose and actual requirement and then you can take a valuable suggestion from the residential property valuer in the property related decisions.
In this post we are disclosing some points which you should know before reaching to any conclusion –
Understand your actual requirement – Before selecting the home for rental purpose, investment purpose, buying or planning to construct a home or for any purpose you should be very clear with your objective. First understand the actual requirement of your family first.
Think for children and old people at home – If your family includes oldies and children you should not buy double storey building because it's quite tough for them to move upstairs. Having one storey building makes your home easy for patients, retirees, small children as they can move easily, they don't have to go up and down. While buying double storey home you have to be very cautious to avoid staircase accidents. Even if your are buying a home for an investment purpose in retirees area then you should buy single storey home as these homes could be properly managed by the oldies and retirees.
If you are planning to buy a home in prime location or city area which is usually crowded one then having a double storey building is an advantage. As these homes are spacious and you can get a lawn with it but in single storey building it is difficult to get the lawn or front or back yard. While in double storey building you can easily find a lawn or a yard which gives enough space to your children for playing. Even their noise will not affect your work when you choose to have double storey building.
Affordable – Whether you are planning to construct, buy for an investment or for your own use single storey homes are more affordable than double storey. The construction cost of the single storey homes are less than the double storey homes.
Curb's appeal – Home is the most valuable assest we possess. We all have the great desire to live in a beautiful home where we can live peacefully. Also when buyers, renters look for a home they want a home with good curb appeal. Well, double storey homes gives good visual appeal on contrary single storey homes look more spacious from outside.
It's moreover depends upon on your purpose, location, plot size and local trend. You can take advice from the residential property valuer for the best residential property valuation services or home valuation services.
Feel free to contact us we have a team of an expert and experienced residential property valuers

About Max
by Rafael Henry
Chapter 10
The conclusion……..where fact and fiction meet……….
Max has the final say……………it's May, 2014…………….
I'm writing this on my pc quite early this morning, even for me. It's just turned five thirty on a sunny morning. It's a bank Holiday Monday so there's no work to go to this morning. My wife is not an early riser but I am, and consequently in the evenings I'm little use when she's wide awake. But this pattern does give me the chance to write at will for an hour or so completely uninterrupted. On lovely sunny mornings I can't help thinking about Mr Raphael Kelly. I know what he'll be doing this morning. He'll be out on some coastline somewhere, almost certainly in his beloved Norfolk, painting yet another picture. He's done thousands of them and they must be all over the place hidden in houses somewhere. He's still teaching of course…..something that he's always loved doing. If you had read what he's written, you would know why. I'm an estate agent for my sins…..which are many and various……but nothing too serious.
I'm thinking back to that time in Blakeney twenty years ago now…..and that day I completely 'lost it' as they say. Well, you know the story up to then of course. I'll make the tea in an hour or so. Oh yes, I 'lost it' big time.
You will remember Tom, my best friend from school? He used to come home with me on Saturdays after games and spend the Sunday with us quite often as his people lived quite far away. It was the one word that Tom said that set me off that day…… trust .
Someone once said that the Norfolk air makes you randy, and it did us, that's for sure, and me in particular. Aged twelve, I couldn't get enough of it….and was having something of a relationship with Raf as you know, but I could never understand why we never went further than we did……..because more was what I wanted. Oh yes, Raf would go so far and no further. When Tom said that it was all about trust, or rather the lack of it, I completely flipped emotionally. I can barely remember the rest of that day, only that I descended into a seriously bad mood and was completely obnoxious to everyone and anyone I was in contact with. I was completely vile, rude to anyone unlucky enough to cross my path and very very upset. There were periods of crying followed by remorse and anguish, with a bit of rage thrown in for good measure….followed by more crying. Oh dear………it wasn't good. Not good at all.
My grandmother ran Tom and I back to school that Sunday evening, eventually. Quite often Raf would take us, but not that night. No, he was persona non grata as far as I was concerned. I hated him and never wanted to clap eyes on him ever again.
That night in bed, I realised the extent to which I had embarrassed myself that afternoon. Tom was good, as ever bless him, trying to put things into their proper perspective and trying to make me see reason. I did see reason in time…quite quickly in fact. I loved Raf then, and I still do……but in a different way now. We talked about it later…….Raf and I………and needless to say it all became perfectly clear. After my little performance…….immediately afterwards in fact………we made love in a new way, with lots of lovely tears and not without some laughter too. It was a supreme moment in my life thus far. It was all made possible by the word 'trust'…..and I was in love……..me with Raf……and he with me in his own way. It was all an unrealistic relationship for him, but for me it was the most intense experience. I think he felt guilty because he had allowed himself to get so involved with me, and deep down he knew he had let his feelings get the upper hand. His experience told him it shouldn't have done. As for me, I don't regret anything that happened….not then, and not now.
By four that Sunday afternoon, both Tom and I were back in our uniforms, having changed out of the makeshift outfits that 'did' when nothing much was happening. Tom had nothing other than his uniform, so I'd kit him out as I wanted him to look which was quite fun. He was such a sweet little boy, but quite determined in his own way, and my mother loved him. Indeed, most people loved him that knew him…..he was that sort of a boy. I could say so much about him still, and of course he was the one that came out with that magic word, trust, that…..well, I'll come to that in a moment. I was still terribly upset about what Raf must have thought of me…what he thought I was…..an immature twelve and thirteen year old who could not be trusted. So…..this was my way……my way of resolving the situation……..bringing it to a head. I don't think I'd consciously planned it. I'd got Tom dressed……yes, I'd dressed him . He always liked that when we had the opportunity, and it was a little ritual we had, and if we hadn't had a feeling recently, we did during the process, or rather at the end of the process usually when we were both fully dressed…….very naughty, but a very nice finale to the weekend. I can smell the wool of his jumper now, and feel his warmth. He was the very best friend to have, and such fun to be with, but there was no finale that afternoon…..not with Tom.
About four thirty, Mum told me to go and see Raf. When Tom and I had left him earlier, he was obviously upset at my rude outbursts. I remember him saying as we left his place in the High Street that we couldn't leave things like this……we needed to talk. I was in no mood for talking that's for sure. I have a manipulative streak in me and I'm sure subconsciously I was already planning his defeat.
I left Tom with Mum and set off for Raf's place minus my blazer, but in every other respect, ready for my return to the city. As usual the back door at the top of the wooden stairs was unlocked and I walked in to find him in his bedroom. He was lying on his side facing the window. When he heard me, he turned onto his back and looked at me with an expression of……….a mixture really…….concern………trepidation……..expectation……..I don't know what it was really, but I can see it now, all those years later. I do know that my own tears were flowing freely. I knew that this was in some way our moment of truth. I went up to him, got onto his bed and knelt beside him.
'How could you………….why Raf? How could you think of me like that? You don't do you. I know you don't!'
You can imagine his reaction. I don't doubt that he really did love me in his own way……….I'm sure he did.
'I don't what Max?'
I told him what . I told him quite calmly about how I felt at that moment, and how I thought he saw me as a person…..someone not to be trusted.
Looking back as I can now, and knowing what we constantly read about in the newspapers, I can completely understand why he couldn't trust me. People are emerging out of the woodwork with all manner of stories concerning goings on for the last fifty years or so, or even further back than that. The past is never far from the surface and can reappear at any moment. I know that. Basically he would be entrusting his life to me, a thirteen year old boy. To me, he was a wonderful person from whom I wanted love, both platonic and physical. He gave me that love in the only way that he could.
It took almost an hour to resolve things between us, but we did resolve them. In the end I had convinced him and we held each other as we had never held each other before…….I think our souls merged that afternoon. Of course he was safe from harm, and he always will be.
Raf was always reverential towards my body. Tom, and latterly Jonathan, always said I had a nice body which was kind of them and rather pleased me too. When Raf undressed me it was a wonderful ritual which always turned both of us on bigtime. Tom loved it too, making it into an exciting game of 'you can't get me' and then 'oh yes I can!' sort of thing. It was all done very gently in the end and formed the first important part of the kind of loving we wanted……that kind that boys enjoy with each other with no strings attached. I wanted Raf to expose my body that afternoon, which he did.
'Do you like it Raf…….I mean, do you really like it?'
They say actions speak louder than words.
'Does that convince you Max?'
He leant forward, took my head in his hands, and kissed me gently on the forehead.
I knew the story couldn't end there. The ultimate recognition of the trust that now existed between us, was to come much later.
Neither Tom nor Jon came back to Blue Cottage for the rest of that first term. My Saturday nights and Sunday mornings were for Raf and myself to enjoy.
Tom and Gabriel were busy with each other, discreetly and in a very sweet and special way.
Later, in January………
I was there when Raf's phone went, and I instinctively knew it wasn't good news. He went visibly grey as he listened to the person at the other end of the line. He must have listened for what seemed to me to be an eternity. At the end of the conversation he turned to look at me and I knew. He was leaving.
It took me a month to get over the fact that he was gone. I threw myself into my school work. In a strange irony, everything improved. I suddenly realised that I had grown up somewhat. I was different now.
Essentially, the person that took over Raf's job was not a success and he'd left without any warning or notice……basically he'd not come back at the beginning of the Spring Term and that meant under the original agreement that Raf would have to go back to his school.
We were both devastated, perhaps him even more than me as he was acutely aware of the damage the suddenness of it all might do to me. My mother explained away my state of mind to the school with some well-chosen fibs to do with family problems and the like which was in many ways quite true. I recovered my composure pretty well outwardly at least, and yearned for the next all too brief visit Raf would make late on Saturday evenings once a month, leaving again to be back in Essex by the Sunday afternoon. Jonathan knew what had happened, but of course he knew none of the details of my relationship with Raf. No one could ever know that……or will ever. Jonathan was so kind to me. Any hint of sex was gone with both him and Tom as I embarked on my mercifully short road back to composure.
Over the years our relationship changed as we both knew it had to, but essentially we are the same even now as I write this…….and guess what? Yes…….I have a brother, Dylan, almost thirteen years my junior, and of course that's another story. One morning I heard my mother being sick. I was worried of course. I heard her 'phone Raf. He came round a half hour later, but kept me out of their conversation. They sent me upstairs but I could just hear snippets of their conversation. I distinctly heard the word…pregnant. I was crying with the worry of it, and went downstairs. It was true, They hugged me when they told me…the three of us together. Lovely little Dylan was on his way!
It's a different kind of love now, but love it still is. I have one particular reminder of the old love we had……..a beautifully bound volume of black and white photographs Raf took of me in those wonderful weeks we shared, taken on his ancient Rolleiflex camera……the one you look down into that real photographers used for weddings and the like . Many are of me in everyday situations….one or two with my mother, and one or two of us taken by her……..and many others of a more intimate nature. I love them for their tenderness and innocence. It is a gift from him to me……with love. The Day Thou Gavest Lord is ended? No it isn't I'm glad to say…….not for a long while yet.
This morning I received an invitation. I have been invited to spend the weekend with Raf and his wife at his school near Windsor. I've accepted by 'phone. Apparently, he's left with a couple of kids who can't go home at weekends like the others.
'So you're stuck with them every weekend then?'
'Yes, pretty much.'
'Who are they then Raf?'
'Oh, there's one lad called James….he's quite a bright chap…very easy going. The other is a boy called Alfie. He's an interesting fellow……..I think you might like him.'

COMMUNITY leaders of the Muslim and Christian faiths united last Thursday to mark the beginning of work to create a Peace Garden at the Muslim Burial Ground.
Invited dignitaries gathered at the Horsell Common site in the company of Imam Dr Syed Naqvi, representing Woking's Muslim community, and Rev Keith Barry, the Assistant Chaplin at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst.
The prayer ceremony allowed attendees to take a tour of the site, which was first established in 1917, before visiting the Shah Jahan Mosque in Maybury, and later Brookwood Military Cemetery, where the 27 soldiers originally buried at the Muslim Burial Ground were interred.
Attendees included The Lord Lieutenant of Surrey, Dame Sarah Goad; Mayor of Woking, Tony Branagan; Under Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Stephen Williams MP; Jonathan Lord MP; Shah Jahan Mosque's Imam Hashmi; Commandant of Sandhurst, Major General Stuart Skeates CBE; Chairman of Surrey County Council, David Munro; Chairman of the Armed Forces Muslim Association, Mohsin Mughal; Chairman of Horsell Common Preservation Society, David Robins; and Chief Executive of Woking Borough Council, Ray Morgan.
The Islamic-style Peace Garden will feature 27 birch trees representing each serviceman originally buried at the site, a water feature incorporating a memorial stone bearing the names of those once buried there, bold strips of pink and white heather orientated towards Mecca, two stone ceremonial prayer mats, and benches for quiet contemplation.
Speaking about the project, Mr Williams said: "Peace gardens bring communities together to plan, work and care for a common space which can be enjoyed by all.
"The Woking Peace Garden will allow this community to reflect on the sacrifice of so many during the First World War and to remember the brave men who came from across the world to fight for our freedom.
"Over the next four years we will continue to mark the contribution of all those who fought for Britain 100 years ago and I hope this garden will allow everyone in the local community to come together and learn about our shared history together."
Council Leader John Kingsbury explained that the service marked the beginning of the final phase of work in the reinstatement of the important heritage site. He added: "Woking is a multicultural borough and, by working in partnership with Horsell Common Preservation Society, we have managed to secure this important heritage site for the benefit of future generations."
Since works commenced in August 2013, the exterior wall brickwork, Portland stone capping, and entrance Chatrii adorned with a golden finial in the form of a lotus flower have been restored to their original state.

Recovering Fulton drug addict calls for support to start a new shelter
Related Story
FULTON - What started as a Fulton Facebook post, sharing an idea for a new shelter for recovering addicts, turned into a network of support for those struggling with drug abuse.
Kaylea Sharp, 26, posted in a Fulton community Facebook page the story of her battle with addiction to meth and heroine. She has been clean for about three years and since then has been trying to come up with how she can help others in situations like herself.
In Fulton there is only one shelter called Our House that has two houses, Haven House and Wiley House.
Sharp's idea for a new shelter in Fulton is based on a "shelter for all" mentality, despite prior convictions or gender. She also said she wants people to work at the shelter that have recovered from addiction themselves. The idea creates a similar "barrier-free" mentality that's becoming more popular nationally. Recovering drug addicts would not need to become sober to get help.
Valley Hope is a substance abuse treatment program in Boonville. KOMU 8 news talked to the program director about addiction rehabilitation.
Program director Donette Cornett said having recovered addicts in the mix during rehabilitation is the glue.
"It holds their recovery program together, how they support each other, encourage each other," Cornett said.
She said she feels blessed to finally feel in charge of her addiction despite years of feeling like she can't get away from the temptation in Fulton.
"That's all that I've known is drugs. Everyone that I've grown up around, friends, everything, they've all either used drugs or their families used drugs," Sharp said.
"To me drugs were normal, that's how I coped with life," she said.
Sharp spent time in prison twice on drug possession charges. She said she hopes the fact she feels she has been at rock bottom, even spending about two years homeless, she can be a relatable resource to others.
"I want to let people know there is another way, but you gotta want it you can't expect someone else to do all the foot work," Sharp said.
Cornett referred to cancer and how when a cancer patient goes into remission and then the cancer comes back the family treats the patient with love support. She said the societal reaction to a drug addict struggling from a disease is the opposite, but it needs the same nurturing to recover.
"It doesn't feel like it's a disease, like cancer, it feels much more of an offensive thing because it causes people to do things they wouldn't normally do," Cornett said.
In the Facebook post, Sharp shared that helping those struggling with addiction doesn't have to be huge gesture, it can be as simple as asking if an individual that is high on drugs if they are okay.
She said there are two things that have kept her on the straight and narrow. First, meeting her husband who has supported her clean lifestyle. Second, getting pregnant and later having two more children over the past few years.
"I will always have a label on me and I'm alright with that," she said. "But I think there needs to be more support and less judging [in Fulton]."

Homily: 4th Sunday of Easter A. Jesus the Gate of Life
The 4th Sunday of Easter, the day we are invited to pray for vocations, we meditate on the parable of the Good Shepherd according to the Gospel of John. We pray not only for vocations out there, but rather, that we ourselves may be men and women who, like Jesus the good shepherd, facilitate entry through the gate of life.
Bible readings Acts 2: 14-41 Psalms 23 1 Peter 2: 20-25 John 10: 1-10
Jesus the Good Shepherd
In chapter 10 of this Sunday's Gospel we have John's presentation of the parable of Jesus as Good Shepherd. In Mathew 18 and Luke 15 we have the image of the shepherd who's concerned about the lost one. He leaves the 99 sheep in order to go and seek the one that's missing. In this image, not only does Jesus reveal the image of God the Father, but he is also the fulfilment of the promise made long ago to Israel. Seeing the way the leaders of Israel abused their power to enrich themselves and failed to care for the people, God said he will come down and he himself will shepherd his people Israel (Ezekiel 34). And so, when Jesus says I'm a Good Shepherd, that's already familiar to the people who have been waiting for the fulfilment of the promise.
This text invites each person to check oneself: in my family, among friends, in my professional life; in short, in whatever position of responsibility I hold before others, what kind of shepherd am I?
Jesus, the gate way
Indeed, when we think of chapter 10 of the Gospel of John what comes immediately in our mind is the image of the Good Shepherd. That means we know the text more or less by heart. It's an advantage. Yet, it can also be a danger. Such general knowledge can be a distraction, preventing us from discovering with newness of the text we have been given.
Well, though it's the same chapter in which Jesus affirms himself as Good Shepherd, as matter of fact, the text of this Sunday does not talk about Jesus the Good Shepherd, but rather, Jesus as gate. What does that mean?
The gate or the door is the opening through which we can enter or go out. Through this gate, pass both the sheep and the shepherd. That's clear, whatever responsibility we may have before others; Christ remains our common centre. It's not just the sheep to pass through the gate but also the shepherd. With Jesus as gate, we are assured of security and access to life; there's liberty of entering and going out; security is guaranteed for those inside and the door is open for those who want to enter or come out. With Jesus as gate, no one is refused entry; access is open to all. Each person has a place and is known by name. He enters as he is.
What's my vision of gate?
I find this image of Jesus as gate an invitation to evaluate how I live my faith in relation to others. The shepherd who also passes by the gate has also the responsibility of a gate-keeper.
The temptation is high to think of shepherds or door keepers narrowly in terms of church leaders or ordained ministers. It's not wrong to think that way, yet, we can widen it. Through our baptism, especially by our different engagements in the world, we are also doorkeepers. But what kind of door keeper am I?
For some people, instead of the gate being an entry point it becomes a point for moral scrutiny. That can be a danger for those who think of being a Christian in terms of moral rectitude. It's true, the response of faith to the love of God transforms us. Nevertheless, we can't define ourselves as Christians basing on moral standing. Jesus, the gate that opens to life, mingles with sinners: he invites himself to Zacchaeus and he doesn't ask him convert (Lk 19) –it's a free response (Homily for 31st Sunday C. Zacchaeus come down, beloved son); Jesus calls Levi a tax collector to become his disciple (Mt 9) –no condition is imposed on him; Jesus welcomes the sinful woman with a bad reputation in her town (Lk 7). That's the attitude of Jesus the gate. He's a gate, not for shutting people out but for facilitating entry.
Moral arrogance as obstacle
Sometimes we speak of Christians in "irregular situations" when we refer to persons who for one reason or another can't receive sacraments. On the other hand, we have those Christians whom we refer to as being in "regular situation." You find them in a line for communion, for example. The fact that I have access to all the sacraments I may risk falling in some vanity to the point that I look at others with an eye of judgement. I place myself at the gate with wings in a peacock style –see how good I'm! Pope Francis exhorts the Church to keep its doors open and not act as a "customs post" otherwise we risk becoming «…controllers of faith rather than facilitators."
Called to be ushers
In society today, before Jesus as gate, we find different persons who are considering entering: some find themselves in some moral fragility, others are haunted by doubt, and still others they fear or experience the feeling of guilty and shame. The christian community has an important role to play. If these people find door bouncers at the gate it's very unlikely that they will desire to enter. But if they find ushers, most probably they will feel encouraged to enter and see what's happening inside. As Christians our vocation is to be ushers. We care called to encourage and facilitate their entry. It's only by entering inside that they can discover and experience the gratuitous love of God. Unconditional love is the sure motivation of conversion.
Hence, on this Sunday for vocations, let's pray that as Christians we may be true ushers who encourage others to enter the gate of faith.

Balancing RC Model Aircraft
Every RC airplane (and all other aircraft, for that matter) have a specific CG position, it's the mean point where all gravitational forces act upon the plane, and the point where the plane balances fore-aft correctly. Technically this is called longitudinal balance. You can liken a plane's centre of gravity to the fulcrum of a see-saw, for example. There is an old saying…a nose heavy plane flies poorly and a tail heavy plane flies once.
Nose heavy planes may exhibit some of the following symptoms
A nose heavy plane will tend to exhibit some or all of these symptoms…
- Feels heavy on the sticks and may be slow to react
- In a banking turn, the nose may dip
- Tends to land hot or fast
- Requires some "up" elevator to fly level
- Aircraft will dip into a steep dive in a power off glide
- Will may porpoise in flight (up then down, up then down)
Tail heavy planes may exhibit some of the following symptoms
A tail heavy plane will tend to exhibit some or all of these symptoms…
- A tail heavy plane tends to feel overly sensitive on the sticks
- In a banking turn the nose may lift
- Glide is almost non-existent and may stall out or tail dive
- Glide may fall off to one side
- Generally flying in a nose high altitude
- Applying throttle may result in a steep climb
On a straight wing, the CG point is generally 1/3rd of the wing cord, however, it gets pretty tricky to determine the CG on a swept wing design. There are wing calculators on line, however, none of this is required provided the manufacture has included the CG for you. Manufacturers include the CG so that you don't have to guess and you're flight is very enjoyable. The CG is generally determined during the design phase of the of the aircraft so if you're built from a kit & plan, the CG will most likely be clearly marked on the plan. If you've bought an ARF or RTF plane then the instruction manual will likely give the CG position in terms of distance back from either the leading edge of the wing or from the nose. If you're unsure then RC forums can be a wealth of information.
Methods of balancing RC airplanes
With each method below ensure your plane is fully loaded or battery installed and ready to fly. If we were to balance a plane that was not fueled it would be completely different once we added fuel.
High Wing
High wing planes are the easiest to balance and will take little time at all. If this happens to be your first plane and you're in a position to have a second set of eyes look over your work, do it. An experienced set of eyes has done it all before and made many mistakes. They may just save you a plane and damage to your ego.
Referring to the manual find the CG and measure that on your aircraft. Apply masking tape to the model and using a marker, mark the position of CG. Do this on both sides of the wing. The reason for not drawing directly in the model is that we may have to adjust it and it would look unsightly with various markings. Later we can make a final mark once we're happy.
Place the battery into the model and then check the CG by placing your finger tips on the points you marked earlier. Now allow the model to balance and see what it does. If the nose points down you should move the battery more toward the tail. If the model nose points up then move the battery forward towards the nose.
Low Wing
A low wing ping plane is similar to a high wing plane, just inverted. So we can measure the CG in the same way except the plane will be upside down when we measure the CG.
Referring to the manual find the CG and measure that on your aircraft. Apply masking tape to the model and using a marker, mark the position of CG. Do this on both sides of the wing. The reason for not drawing directly in the model is that we may have to adjust it and it would look unsightly with various markings. Later we can make a final mark once we're happy.
Place the battery into the model and then check the CG by placing your finger tips on the points you marked earlier. Now allow the model the balance and see what it does. If the nose points down you should move the battery more toward the tail. If the model nose points up then move the battery forward towards the nose.
Balancing Rigs
A balancing rig can be handy as it will save you a lot of time in readjusting. You place the plane on the balancing rig and adjust the placement of parts as you go. I've got a balancing rig that I bought from Hobbyking.com and I have no complaints. It was cheap enough that I didn't bother fabricating one and it breaks down for easy storage.
You can also make a balancing tool – something as simple as a block of wood with several holes drilled into it might be enough. You can see how the plane is balanced upon the pencil rubbers. Simply drill holes in the block and push the dowels into them, ensuring a tight fit.
So long as the plane can balance on two points, one under each wing, then you have a balancing tool.
Gas or Nitro Fuel Tanks
A fuel tank may affect the CG if it's placed at the extremities of a plane. For example, you could take off nose heavy but land tail heavy. For that reason it is advised to keep your fuel tank as close to CG as possible. This means your plane will be balanced for the duration of the flight. Move the fuel tank if necessary as it will be worth the trouble.
Adding Weight
If the balance does need to be adjusted to get the correct centre of gravity, the first thing to do is try moving things around. By moving things around you may avoid adding weight. Adding weight is the last thing you want to do because a heavier plane is not as nice to fly as a light plane. Additional weight leads to a faster landing speed and higher stall speed, and reduce straight up performance.
If you need to add weight perhaps there are smarter ways to achieve the same outcome. If you need to add nose weight, go for a larger motor and different prop. You might end up with a more powerful motor and prop combo. This is better than adding lead as its just dead weight. Once you're happy with the new balance, make sure that the battery pack is completely secure and won't move from its new position. If it moves during a flight, then the CG moves too – and that's really no fun!
If you need to add ballast to correct the CG, add as little as possible. Add the ballast as far forward or as far back as you possibly can on the model. By doing this, the ballast will have the most effect on the Centre of Gravity. Add only enough to make your plane balance correctly, nothing more. There are many suitable options for adding weight. for example. Thin sheet lead is perfect because you can cut it and bend it to shape and the pieces don't have to be big too adjust the CG balance.
Do be sure that whatever ballast you use that it is fastened to the plane and won't drop off in flight. Should it fall off your CG is going to be affected in flight and you might have a very short flight.
Lateral Balance
Now that we have longitudinal balance out of the way we need to check lateral balance. An imbalance laterally will cause a bias to one side in flight. This is often overlooked because it isn't as critical as longitudinal balance, but an RC plane that has one side heavier than the other will have a bias to roll and turn to the heavier side, making your life on the sticks a bit harder. Also, a heavier side will almost always result in that wing dropping when the plane stalls, potentially putting the plane in to a spin.
You cannot trim out lateral balance because although you may be able to trim for level flight at half throttle when at full throttle it generally results in the plane rolling to one side. The usual cause of a plane being out of balance laterally is unequal weights of the wings.
Checking lateral balance is fairly simple. We can use a loop of string around the motor shaft and the tail. We are looking to see if one wing is heavier than the other. To correct this we add weight to the wing tip. Thin strip lead of steel is fine.
For smaller RC planes, say about the 40″ wingspan mark or less, it's quite possible to hold each piece of string in each hand: Taping the ballast to the wingtip is an easy method, although you might want to take the trouble to set them into the wingtip and cover over them to hide them. Bear in mind that adding larger bits of tape will actually add weight in addition to the ballast.
For RC airplanes with foam wings, pushing a small gauge nail or panel pin into the foam is a great way of adding any necessary weight, and it can be easily hidden with suitable paint or marker pen.
That's about it; balancing CG is pretty simple.

The Angels sang as I put this bra on. It fits so well and is so comfortable. I really like the colour and pattern. It's see through, but my nipples seem to blend into the pattern so they aren't noticeable. It's a natural shape without being pointy. I purchased this bra used but in new condition. I think she tried altering the band and I can see some threads that she put in and cut before sending it to me, but it's not a problem.
I love this bra. It's so pretty and comfortable and soft. I wish I could find the matching panties, but since this design is from 2013(?) I highly doubt that I could. If anyone has a size small they've never worn, I'll buy them off you!

Trial and error grows us.
Learning from each other inspires us.
And, conscious reflection along the way transforms us.
My teaching philosophy is rooted in reciprocal learning and experiential education, rather than the traditional "sage on a stage" approach. Because, in our age of information-access and rapid evolution of knowledge, more information is not needed.
I believe that, for the 21st century learner, inviting the head, heart and hands to participate in a continuous and collaborative learning practice is what's needed. Falling in love with learning again is what's needed.
Life is dynamic, not static. The reason I teach is to support learners to learn, innovate, and adapt with resiliency through the constant change of their lives and careers. I have witnessed that experience and reflection builds confidence to go outside of the classroom and apply what is learned. It is that courageous application of skills and talents that changes the world for the better.
More on how my experiences and values inform the way I design courses, here.
Every hour with me typically follows this model:
- I share information or lessons learned for about 20 minutes to frame the rest of the session.
- For the next 10 minutes, we discuss and critique the information, challenge assumptions, introduce different perspectives, and break down the "why".
- Students dive into a meaningful, hands-on experience for about 20 minutes.
- Then, I facilitate a 10ish minute long reflection to debrief what just happened, what we can learn as well as ways to apply this learning in future.
- Students get pumped up, like a new tire, and roll out of class ready to mobilize.
Inspired by:
I could talk about my approach all day, but I'll let the students I've worked with tell you instead…
What students have said
"My Business was born in an entrepreneurship class with Rachel. Truth be told, I was on the verge of dropping out until I found her very practical and inspired teaching style. Even after her class, she supported me and I couldn't have imagined the umbrella of opportunities and guidance that would come."

"I have studied at institutions around the world and never met a teacher like Rachel. Her approach is refreshing, wise and authentic. She is more than a professor to our class, she is our life mentor."

"Rachel excels at teaching because she's always very prepared, understands how to connect with people, and communicates in a comfortable and clear manner. She's also very approachable and genuinely cares about people. Rachel was instrumental in developing the curriculum for the course, and delivering the material in a way that was engaging to participants."
Sam Prentice,
Brock University Foundations in Leadership program alumnus, graduate of the MBA program at Goodman School of Business
"From the minute I stepped into Rachel's classroom I sensed her patience and abundant love for teaching. I couldn't have asked for a more 'down to earth', caring teacher if I tried. Her creative forms of assessment made me feel as though all types of learning were welcome and open for discussion. I thank her for truly taking an interest in us students and never making event management class boring."

When it comes to relationships, conflict is inevitable. But it doesn't have to be emotionally distressing or callous. Couples can disagree and, yes, even fight while still showing compassion and respect for each other. Relationships that can't be saved are relationships where the flame has completely gone out, or it wasn't there in the first place
Frequent heated and hurtful conflict is certainly not healthy or sustainable, either. You can have conflicts with your partner in a constructive way, and it may actually bring you closer together.
If you want to navigate conflict with your partner in a healthier and more productive way, keep these things in mind during your next argument:
~ Schedule a time for conflict
~ Call a timeout if you or your partner needs one
During an argument, it's common for one or both partners to enter "fight, flight or freeze" mode, humans enter one of these modes when they think they may be in danger. "Fight or flight" refers to when stress hormones activate to give people more energy to either fight the stressor or run from the situation. And "freeze" mode occurs when a person simply does not react at all, in hopes that the stressor loses interest in the fight.
~ Make requests instead of complaints
Fights often start with the same two words: "You always." Rather than asking their partner to do something they'd like them to do, like cleaning up around the house, people jump to make accusations.
~ Listen, and ask your partner for clarification
~ Learn the right way to apologize to your partner
Just as people have different love languages, we have different apology languages, too. It's not enough to recognize that you've hurt your loved one and you owe them an apology: You have to know them enough to tailor your apology to their needs.
In closing, remember that when couples argue, we are not enemies. Even when we do not agree we are still on the same team!

Tuesday is Taco night, but not the same kind of tacos. We have taco soup, taco salad, soft tacos, Doritos shell, Navaho, taco ring, taco casserole, and fish tacos. We have never tried the taco pizza but it sounds kind of good?
Last Tuesday we had beef barbacoa on corn tortillas with fresh cilantro, tomatoes, and avocado. They turned out sooooooo good. Here is Ashy trying out all the parts of the taco.
Yummy, it's pretty darn good.
It's like he is watching me for a reaction. Which I always follow with "mmmmmm buddy, it's sooo yummy!"
The kids are off track for the last time this year. We call it pre-summer because their summer is only three weeks long. Only for Ry and Alex, Eden is in the final stretches of preschool, then starting kindergarten and May is gearing up for preschool in the fall.
So we have been doing some fun things. Today we visited Gardner Village and saw the Faries and fairy houses. Ry was so inspired to build her own fairy house. She came away with lots of ideas. She will be working away on that project for the next couple of days. We also wanted to try going to the fairy forest near Kamas.. But it is supposed to rain. I realize we won't wicked witch of the west. (What a world, what a world) but there is a "dry" creek bed that turns into a raging river. Not super excited about taking a 9,5,3,11m group up to a raging river. It looks like we might have to wait until it's a bit warmer and dryer.
Here is a shot of our group today. Gator got out of the fairy excursion. Thank you papa for saving him.
