So, I've kinda been putting this post off for a couple of weeks now. And for a couple of reasons.
4 years ago, Nick and I were thrilled to find out we were expecting. We had prayed for
God to grow our family in His timing and almost exactly one year after our first anniversary, that extra little blue line appeared on the test. It seemed right. It seemed like our life was going just as smoothly as most other young couple's lives and "plans". We weren't even nervous or scared. We knew we wanted to be parents and here was the baby that God was giving us. Better yet, we were traveling back to Iowa that next week and would be able to tell our families in person! Yup, our life was a bowl of peaches.
We lost our baby shortly after we returned home from our trip. We hadn't even had the chance to tell most of our friends or church family that we were pregnant so when I miscarried, I didn't know how to react to people.
So, there we were 13 hours away from our family..away from the people we had just shared our joyful news with…away from future grandparents making plans to be in TN during baby's birth month…away from siblings excited to be aunts and uncles. It was just us.
Our first tragedy as a couple. Our first shared hurt. The first time we couldn't fix the problem. We couldn't help our child.
In the weeks that followed, we tried to carry on our routine life. I didn't want to talk about it. I pushed through it and poured myself into anything and everything so I didn't have to face the reality that nothing would ever be the same again. And it hasn't. When you lose someone–no matter how long their life was– a little part of you leaves with them. Nick and I are familiar with loss. Possibly more than a lot of people our age– My brother, his mother, grandparents, friends, niece, and now
our child. Our child would have been a little over 3 years old now and we would have probably been "planning" for #2. My, how different our life would be. All that to say, our little one is never forgotten but God is preparing us for another little one living thousands of miles away.
I wanted to also share something that happened about a month ago. We had our first taste of attachment to a child and the heartbreak
of saying no. But I'm getting ahead of myself, let me back up.
Our agency advocates for many, many children from all of the countries that they work with. Each family within the programs are cleared by the country that they chose to adopt from and will receive a referral call from that country. That is likely how
we will find out about Bebe 🙂 But, our agency also has children who need to be placed in forever homes as soon as possible.
These children usually have intense medical needs and the orphanage cannot care for them like they need to. For this children, our agency sends out emails with pictures and explanations about the child to everyone who has completed their homestudy
and is in the waiting stage like us. We were told that if we were ever interested in one of these children, they will work with us to transfer us to that country,if needed. Typically, I know we will be unable to take the child because of the severe medical needs but I read the emails anyway. One Friday night, Nick and I were driving home and I opened the latest email. There, staring back at me was the most precious little Bulgarian girl with dark curls and eyes. I quickly read through the description trying to find out why she needed a home right away. It didn't have great detail other than "a serious skin condition".
Well, I don't know much about skin conditions but I do know there is a wide variety of what it could be. I showed Nick the email and we decided to email the program director about her. Thankfully, since she is from the Bulgaria program, the director is someone we know quite well. Of course, since it was the weekend I really didn't plan to hear back from her until Monday so Nick and I were prepared to pray about her for a couple of days. I was surprised when I received a reply the next morning with additional information. The director gave me the name of the disease and I started researching like crazy. Needless to say, if we had allowed our excited and adoring emotions to take over, we would probably be over there right now picking her up. Thankfully, we had decided right from the start that we HAD to make sure we could give her the medical care she needed or it wouldn't be a benefit to her to have her home with us. Our family and a few close friends joined us as we spent Saturday and Sunday praying about her and talking through the care that she would need. Our family was an amazing support and I think we saw a glimpse of what it will look like when we bring Bebe home.
Along with researching the disease itself, I looked into doctors who specializes in the disease and what hospitals they were at. I also had to research our health insurance to see what specialty hospitals it covered. I'll just mention the disease for a moment so you can realize the heartbreaking pain this precious little girl has to live with.It's called Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) and the disease causes terrible blisters when friction, sometimes even the slightest touch, occurs. This can be both on the inside and the outside of the body.

After realizing Nick and I were not equipped to give her everything that she deserved and needed, I had to tearfully write an email letting our agency know. So, even though she won't be our little one, we get to pray that she finds her forever family soon! What an emotional weekend that was!
Since we won't find out the age or gender of Bebe until we get that glorious phone call, we decided not to completely decorate a bedroom yet. Instead, I saw an idea on Pinterest for a "future baby room" wall and went with that! I've been collecting books and some various stuffed animals ( the ones pictured were gifts from my parents 🙂 ) and I think it's pretty clear I'm a huge fan of maps and globes 😉
You also probably notice the completed puzzle of the flag of Bulgaria! That's right! Another adoption fundraiser is done and it looks fantastic! I know we've said this about 1,000,000 times, but THANK YOU to all who donated! We raised $5,000! WHOA! 🙂 Check out all those names on the back of the puzzle!
As always, we are grateful for the support and love you all shows us by continuing to ask about the adoption, prayer, and following our story!

Starting an exercise regimen is hard. No wonder: for most of human history, the idea of scheduling time to expend a bunch of energy for no reason would be laughable. Studies show that hunter-gatherers typically only sit down for two to three hours a day. But as our lifestyles have changed, more and more of us spend most of our lives on our butts. And it's literally killing us: statistically, heart disease is most likely the way we will die.
There are a lot of systemic reasons why South Africa is a particularly difficult place to get enough exercise: apartheid city planning, poverty, crazy crime rates, and a poor food environment have meant that it's not easy to build sports and movement into your day. Stats show that around half of South African adults live completely sedentary lifestyles.
Here are five practical steps to building an exercise habit. One that sticks this time…
1. Decide why you care
Learning to exercise is tough. There will be many moments you'll want to give up. So, spend some time at the start is extremely clear what's motivating you.
There are real benefits to exercise that goes beyond looking hot naked. Exercise slows the aging process on a cellular level. People who exercise are happier and less likely to suffer from anxiety or depression. Exercise lengthens your lifespan (every an hour of running adds an estimated seven hours to your life expectancy). It can boost your brain health and prevent diseases like Alzheimer's.
2. Set clear, specific goals
Don't start an exercise program with the ambition to run the Comrades: you'll quickly feel like you're failing and want to give up. Start with a shorter-term goal, something that's achievable within 1-2 months, like wanting to be able to run 3km without stopping.
In fact, evidence shows that the "sweet spot" for health outcomes isn't a crazy amount of exercise: it's just over 150 minutes of moderate-intensity (eg a brisk walk, ballroom dancing) or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity (eg swimming, boxing, running, soccer) exercise every week, broken down into chunks of time that are at least 10 minutes long. So, something as simple as a brisk 25-minute walk every day can have a huge impact on your health.
3. Create a plan
Find a program that suits your goals. If you want to pick up a new sport, research local clubs and find out when they meet. If you want to start running, take a look at something like the Couch to 5k program. If you'd like to try a gym program, the Fitness subreddit Wiki has a great list of routines for beginners.
Then, go and schedule it into your week. If you use a calendar app, add the workout sessions you want to do. Figure out the details of how you'll put your plan in motion.
4. Remove the friction
Let's be real: Your brain is going to look for any excuse to skip a day's worth of exercise. So, try to pre-empt all of the excuses it might give you, and remove them.
Imagine that your brain is a whiny six-year-old child who really does not want to do PE. What systems would you put in place to make sure that they have no excuses?
Whatever you do, NEVER allow exercise to be negotiable ("I'll skip the session I planned to do today, and do an extra-long one tomorrow instead").
5. Get over the discomfort hump
Let's not sugar-coat it: when you're starting out, exercising is hard and it feels awful and every second is agony. Luckily, this won't last forever: most fit people say that they actually really enjoy exercising (which, I know, feels like an impossible concept if you've never been fit). The trick is to find a way to distract yourself through the gross bits until you get fit enough to enjoy yourself.

ATLANTA, GA – Georgia's oldest operational craft brewery, Red Brick Brewing Company, announced today the release of its popular Barleywine; Beard Envy.
"We are very excited to release this year's Beard Envy!" says head brewer Steve Anderson, "One of our most award winning recipes, this American Barleywine has rich malt flavors from the use of dark munich malt, perfectly balanced by bitterness from the hops. This barleywine is aged on Bourbon barrel chips which contribute a very distinct wood character including notes of vanilla, white oak and of course Kentucky Bourbon. The result is a very balanced barleywine that is great for any occasion"
Red Brick has placed at the Cole's barleywine competition with the previous three years Beard Envy editions: the 2014 brew took home silver, 2015 bronze, and 2016 Beard Envy won gold.
Beard Envy is one of four beers offered in the Brick Mason line, along with Hype Whale (Imperial Stout), 3 Bagger (Belgian triple), and Vanilla Gorilla (Imperial Vanilla Porter).
About Red Brick Brewing Company

Wilderness obelisks are members'-only teleportation devices in the wilderness. They can be very helpful when reaching certain locations, such as the Chaos Elemental, Lava Maze and lava dragons just to name a few. However, they can sometimes lead players into wandering player killers, and are not an ideal escape from them either. When activated, the obelisks won't teleport players who are Tele Blocked. Players may use this to their advantage by luring PKers onto these obelisks, causing them to be teleported and thus providing an increased chance of escape for players.
There are six Wilderness obelisks. Each obelisk, when activated, will teleport anyone standing on the pad after a few seconds to another pad, which is chosen at random. These obelisks are activated by interacting with any of the outer 4 pillars, and standing in the middle. Users receive the message, "Ancient magic teleports you somewhere in the wilderness" upon teleportation. This suggests that these obelisks are run with Ancient Magicks, which is highly likely, as the Wilderness was once Zarosian territory.
Players can also teleport to these obelisks using an Obelisk found in their own or a friend's Player Owned House. Although these devices are safely outside the Wilderness, they still follow the same behaviour of those found inside the Wilderness. Players are teleported to a random obelisk destination unless they have the hard Wilderness Diary completed, which allows them to choose their arrival point.
The obelisks are found in the following locations:
|Wilderness Level
|On the Map
|In the Superior Garden of a player-owned house[1]
|At the Mammoths
|West of the Chaos Temple
|At the Ent Forest
|East of the Graveyard of Shadows
|South of the Chaos Ridge
|North of the Bandit Camp
|South of the Lava Maze
|West of the River Lum oasis
|West of the Lava Maze
|Southeast of the Frozen Waste Plateau
|Near the Rogues' Castle and the Chaos Elemental
|Southeast of Rogues' Castle
- ↑ The obelisk in a player-owned house can only be used to teleport to the Wilderness and cannot be teleported to from other obelisks.
After completing the hard Wilderness Diary, players are given the ability to choose their teleport location. This can be extremely helpful for those who are boss hunting or doing clue scrolls.

The award-winning Poly Queer Love Ballad returns with a run at East Vancouver's Sum Gallery in March.
Winner of the Vancouver Fringe New Play Prize in 2018, this musical is the love story between a polyamorous bisexual poet and a monogamous lesbian songwriter who meet during an open-mic night at Vancouver's Cafe Deux Soleils.
Merging slam poetry with pop-folk tunes, the duo at the centre of the story use two microphones, a loop pedal, and array of instruments, as they struggle to reconcile their mutual attraction, despite opposing perspectives on love.
Reprising their roles from their 2018 Vancouver Fringe Festival production are co-creators Anais West and Sara Vickruck, in what has become a new iteration of this love story with a queer local flavour.
"Under the guidance of composer and sound design mentor Mishelle Cuttler, Sara has been adding nuance and complexities to the sound design of the show, layering in more transitions," says West in a media release. "We've also been deepening the characters' relationship in the text through our Fringe New Play Prize dramaturg."
Co-Presented by The Queer Arts Festival, Zee Zee Theatre, and Frank Theatre Company, it was a natural fit for these three organizations, and will mark the first theatre production in The Sum Gallery, the only-year round queer dedicated arts space in Vancouver.
"We're excited to work with Queer Arts Festival because, for one, they are the largest queer-mandated multidisciplinary festival in Canada, and we also experimented with the first stages of the show through one of their programs," says Vickruk in the release. "Anais brought early drafts of the show's poetry to one of their drop-in sessions, and was overwhelmed by the support of the badass queer women who mentored her."
The relationship with The Frank Theatre Company came after West and Vickruck first met during a production of Vickruk's play Kill Your Lovers, which was directed by The Frank's artistic director, Fay Nass.
"We are passionate about The Frank's intersectional approach to queer theatre-making and Fay is one of the few queer women of colour running a theatre company in Canada," says West. "She's a tireless advocate for equity in theatre, and is an inspiring vision for the future of queer theatre."
The production is also being co-presented by Vancouver's Zee Theatre.
"With Zee Zee Theatre's added support, a company that's shared stories of marginalized communities for ten years, we couldn't feel more loved by our community," continues West.
Poly Queer Love Ballad plays the Sum Gallery (425 – 268 Keefer St, Vancouver) March 5 – 11. Visit polyqueerloveballad.com for tickets and information.

Hugs, Kisses & A Great Time For Britney & Kevin
People magazine has more details on the birthday bash Britney Spears threw for husband Kevin Federline at Tao in Las Vegas. "Kevin was wearing his ring even though Brit wasn't," a witness said. "They were being affectionate with each other. She sat on his lap for awhile. He fed her a bite of an appetizer." Later, the couple went to Pure, snuggling on the club's VIP bed. "They didn't leave each other's side all night," another clubgoer said. "They danced together – Britney was doing all her famous dance moves. Toward the end of the night, they were all over each other – kissing and hugging, having a great time."

Ann Martin-Davis
GRSM DipRCM
Ann Martin-Davis' passion for 20th century and contemporary art crosses all genres and this has led to a career in pursuit of new and appealing ways of presenting solo piano and chamber music.
Her innovative programmes have 'reinvigorated chamber music' (The Times) and her work in this area was recognised by the Royal Philharmonic Society when Sound Bites was nominated alongside Glyndebourne Opera and BCMG for the prestigious Audience Development Award.
Her reputation in the world of chamber music is wide and various; she has curated concerts at numerous venues and has performed twentieth century and contemporary repertoire throughout the world. This year, she will be touring her latest cross-genre programme Mr James' Garden throughout Mexico and the UK, beginning with a premiere at the Henley Festival in the summer.
Ann studied at the Royal College of Music with Phyllis Sellick, where she won the College's premier piano prize, the Chappell Gold Medal. A series of awards led to a South Bank debut at the Purcell Room and she subsequently won scholarships to study with Arie Vardi in Hanover and Gyorgy Sebok in Canada.
It was at this time that Ann played to the polish composer Witold Lutoslawski and her disc of his solo piano and chamber works received international acclaim. This disc, described as 'beautiful and exquisite' by BBC Music Magazine, is to be re-released on the Nimbus label this year.
In addition to her international recital work, Ann has a wealth of educational experience, not just in master-class environments, but also in state-funded and music in the community programmes. Ann is much in demand as an adjudicator is also a member of the examiners panel for the Associated Board.

Bullard says Fed may cut rates if inflation keeps disappointing
James Bullard, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis said on Wednesday that further weakness in inflation could prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut interest rates.
The risk of the Fed missing its 2per cent inflation target and the trade war were two key macroeconomic challenges to the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), he said in a presentation in Hong Kong.
The Fed held interest rates steady earlier in May, when Chairman Jerome Powell said there was "no strong case" for either a cut or hike in interest rates.
" Adownward policy rate adjustment even with relatively good real economic performance may help maintain the credibility of the FOMC's inflation target going forward" he also added.
Bullard said any policy adjustment going forward would be in response to incoming data, and not a continuation of the rate normalization process which has stopped earlier this year after 225 basis points worth of hikes from near zero levels.
He remained upbeat about growth prospects.

Is the wellbeing of our teachers at risk? Shock statistics suggest so
Is the wellbeing of our teachers at risk? Shock statistics suggest so
With the new school year about to start, leading workplace mental health experts are encouraging schools, parents and students to consider the impact of their actions on educators.
A corporate psychology organisation which supports and develops positive organisational behaviour, has released figures that suggest in the past five years it has seen a 36% increase in the number of educators seeking support from its counsellors.
The AccessEAP statistics point to workplace stress (18%) and anxiety (34%) being common reasons for seeking support.
"There are many more pressures on today's teachers including the impact of new technology and social media, the rise of reported mental health issues amongst students, a lack of resources, increasingly demanding or aggressive parents and escalating levels of classroom violence. Consequently, the modern teaching environment can be detrimental to the mental and even physical wellbeing of educators," says Marcela Slepica, Director of Clinical Services at AccessEAP.
Recent research published in The Australian Teachers Magazine shows that close to 50% of newly qualified teachers leave the profession within five years.
"Teachers play a vital role in the community and we collectively need to support them so that they can do their job," adds Slepica. "This starts with parents modelling good behaviours and supporting teachers' roles. Currently a third of Primary School teachers and a fifth of Secondary School teachers are exposed to abusive behaviour from parents at least once a month. This can range from harassment online to confrontations at the school gates. This behaviour is unacceptable and schools should have a "no tolerance" policy. However, many schools are hesitant and do not want to alienate or upset parents."
According to the organisation, teachers also need help understanding mental wellbeing in the classroom. "Teachers often report to us that they don't feel equipped to support students suffering with a mental health issue. It's important that they are provided with advice on how to escalate any concerns to a trained school psychologist or the EAP.
"For many schools teacher mental wellbeing, relationships with parents or student aggression may not be an issue, but the start of the next wave of pupils is a perfect time for everyone on both sides of the education system to consider the needs of teachers and what they can do to create an environment where they can do their best work for our kids," Slepica concludes.

A member of its popular Active Series family, the latest addition comes in three Rx-ready versions, each with frame/lens colours paired to deliver 'stunning' good looks, sharp, distraction-free vision and Wiley X's battlefield-proven protection.
As the name implies, the Active Series frames are built for action with lightweight, yet nearly indestructible construction and a secure, comfortable fit thanks to soft rubberised nose bridges and/or temple gloves.
Wiley X says: "Whichever new WX Peak model people choose, they will benefit from all-day comfort and 100% protection against the sun's rays. In addition, they are certified to EN.166 as well as ANSI Z87. 1-2010 High Velocity and High Mass Impact Safety standards, providing OSHA-grade protection against a wide range of dangers encountered in the Great Outdoors.
"Wiley X is the only major sunglass brand with this level of protection in every adult style we offer, a key reason why we are a leading provider of protective eyewear for the US military, law enforcement, elite professional anglers and others who perform in challenging conditions."
One version (non-polarised) of the WX peak pairs a classic Gloss Black frame with distinctive Silver Flash lenses. Its versatile Grey tint and stylish good looks make it perfect for a wide range of activities.
Wiley X also offers two versions that feature its Filter 8™ polarised lenses which combine eight unique layers of lens technology. One model matches a Gloss Layered Tortoise frame with Polarised Amber lenses for a look that stands out from the crowd. The glare-cutting properties make them ideal for wear on the water.
The third WX Peak features an understated Matte Black frame outfitted with polarised Blue Mirror lenses. The tint reflective surface and glare-reducing properties make them ideal for fishing, helping anglers 'read' the water and locate fish-holding structures and target fish by sight in the shallows and flats.

Boylan Girls Basketball Team's biggest victory has come from off of the court
The Boylan Girls Basketball Team has 21 wins this season on the court. But, you could argue the team's biggest victory has come off the court.
Boylan Girls Head Coach, Paul Perrone, spearheaded a fundraiser helping the Poor Clare Nuns who live in silence and seclusion at the Corpus Christi Monastery on South Main Street in Rockford. Through donations and the sales of wristbands, the team was able to raise more than sixteen thousand dollars for the nuns. And today a check was presented to folks at the Corpus Christi Monastery Chapel following the afternoon mass.
Boylan Girls' Basketball player, Mia Dally speaks, "It's really special since a lot of us have spent a lot of time learning about them. And a lot of us will give our prayer intentions to them. So we spend a lot of time knowing about them, so being able to do what they do for us every day is really special."


text: 28-year-old man charged with cruelty to animals By Will Greenlee (Contact) Monday, February 25, 2008 STUART — Police arrested a 28-year-old man Sunday on a cruelty to animals charge after he yelled an obscenity at a police dog in a patrol vehicle, according to an arrest affidavit. Moses Rogers Jr., of the 700 block of East Avenue, also faces a disorderly conduct charge in connection with the 2:24 a.m. incidents in the 2300 block of Southeast Federal Highway. Police say Rogers yelled an obscene statement in the window as he walked past a patrol vehicle that contained a patrol dog "causing (the dog's) behavior to become overloaded, tormenting the dog," the affidavit states. Rogers became irate when an officer went to talk to him and ask for identification and continued drawing bystanders' attention. Rogers was released Sunday from the Martin County jail in lieu of $750 bail, a jail official said. http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2008/feb/25/28-year-old-man-charged-cruelty-animals/

Christmas came early for me last week when Diane gave me a new pair of binoculars! I couldn't believe how much better they were in comparison to my old pair; I could see so much more through the lenses, as their 'field of vision' was much wider.
Later that week I was reminded of the concept of having a 'wider field of vision' when coaching a colleague. We have known each other for many years and I was somewhat perplexed by his self-motivation, drive and the enormous pressure he was putting himself under to carry out a considerable task at personal cost to himself and his family. After a while I shared my feeling of confusion – wondering if this would unlock some new learning. I was amazed at the clarity of his response and the passion he revealed. All of a sudden just like my new binoculars, my wider field of vision had increased my understanding. I could see the bigger picture and his perception of where the task fitted into what he wanted to achieve. From that point onwards, with the bigger picture clarified, we could talk about the future and how we could work together to make this happen.
Showing real connection, empathy and using a coaching approach with my colleague encouraged him to express his personal aims and what was really motivating him. With my field of vision widened we could start to work on building this into our future business plans.
I learnt the importance of this many years ago working for a boss who had an amazing ability to relate to individuals and discover what they wanted out of their future. He would constantly consider these plans when building his team. Working with the knowledge, a wider field of vision he would link this to the business and it's future plans. He enabled and supported his team members to grow to achieve performance, very often beyond their own expectations. He is now a very happy multi-millionaire.
I learnt that great leaders get to know their team members wants and desires, they are interested in their wider field of vision.

Curvy Gal: She Takes It Up The Arse This Time
Curvy Gal caused a bit of a stir when she appeared on PSS the first time. She lives in the depths of the English countryside, in a village with a dinky little pub and a cricket green and warm beer and an actual real-life troll who lives under the bridge and doesn't even have a phone or anything. Everybody knows everybody else's business, so everyone got to know hers very quickly. This was good news for us because it meant lots of people gave us their money to join the site. We like it when this happens. Please welcome back Curvy Gal!
Here's what the cheap slag got up to in Round Two, including taking Pascal's truncheon up her bottom for the first time:
- Anal & vaginal fucking- Physical & verbal domination- Wrist & ankle bondage- Deepthroat & face-fucking- Orgasms- Exhibitionism- Face-slapping & spitting- Choking- Spanking- Squirting- Masturbation- CIM & swallow
She's a bit what you'd call 'value-packed' is CG. There's a lot of her, she does lots of things, and she makes us lots of money. We get her to flash her tits at the neighbours at the start of her solo vid. Even getting her arse ready for fucking ends up being a highly entertaining 5-minute segue in the middle of her photoshoot, which we've included in this week's BTS photos vid.
And what's not to love about a 33-year-old woman who likes dressing up a schoolgirl? She turns up late and Pascal asks her why. She says it's because she got detention for sucking off one of her teachers. Her punishment involves having cable-ties fixed to both her wrists and ankles at the same time and getting fucked in all her three holes.
Hope you enjoy, ladies and gentlemen. It's good to be back.

Julianne Moore looks like a different breed to some of her other Hollywood A-list peers.
Translucently pale with vibrant red hair, the stunning actress could easily pass for a decade younger than her 46 years.
Since her breakthrough role as a veteran porn star in Boogie Nights, she has played a wide and varying range of characters, but for her latest project, sci-fi thriller NEXT, she was able to put her previous FBI training to good use.
Julianne worked with the real Federal Bureau of Investigation when she played agent Clarice Starling in Hannibal back in 2001. Now in Next she plays another FBI agent, Callie Ferris, who is trying to track down famous psychic Cris Johnson, played by Nicolas Cage.
He is lying low in Las Vegas because of his powers - he can see into the future - but Ferris thinks he can help her in a hunt for terrorists threatening Los Angeles with a nuclear device.
"With Hannibal I did extensive research at the FBI academy at Quantico, Virginia, and so the nice thing is because I'd already done it, I didn't have to do it again," explains Julianne.
"It wasn't intensive training, but I went down to Quantico where I worked with a firearm instructor. I went to the various classes and this agent, Melissa Thomas, was always around me."
There's a double relief, because this time around she doesn't feel the burden of being the centre of the story, she adds.
"The nice thing about playing a character who is a pursuer is I don't have the responsibility of making my character the emotional centre of the movie. With this I'm pursuing the emotional centre of the movie, who is Nick (Cage)."
It also gives her license to be not so nice, she says.
"I'm almost the bad guy in a way," she laughs. "We take many more liberties making a movie like this than we did with Hannibal."
Based on a Philip K Dick short story called The Golden Man, Julianne says Next is actually not so far from the truth - the FBI does use clairvoyants to help solve crimes.
"I have a friend who works for the FBI and you'd be astonished at the kind of stuff they do. They work with psychics all the time.
"Chandra Levy, there were a lot of psychics on that case," she says of the investigation into the death of a prominent US politician's mistress.
Recently Julianne starred with Clive Owen in the bleak futuristic thriller Children Of Men. Prior to that she worked with her director husband Bart Freundlich on the small relationship drama Trust The Man.
It's typical of the four-time Oscar-nominated actress to swing between very different projects. Julianne's gift is being able to give her characters an inner life.
Next up she'll play a woman who falls in love with her brother-in-law in Barry Levinson's Western Boone's Lick. Then she'll take the lead in Savage Grace, a film based on Barbara Daly Baekeland's infamous murder case.

Gulf Shores Public Beach#2 in Best Things To Do in Gulf Shores
Key Info
Price & Hours
- 5.0Value
- 3.0Facilities
- 5.0Atmosphere
No matter the season, a visit to the beach is an absolute must. Crisp white sand and turquoise waves invite beachgoers to spend the day lazing in a chair or swimming in the Gulf of Mexico's warm waters. For those traveling in the winter months, slip off your shoes and walk along the shore.
Recent visitors loved the Gulf Shores beaches and rave about the clean, soft sand. They also appreciated the wide expanse of the shore, saying it's easy to find your own space and the beach never feels crowded.
The beach is accessible for free 24 hours a day. There are multiple access points, many of which feature showers and bathrooms. In January 2018, the city placed access mats on the beach so that wheelchair users can enjoy the sand, too. These mats are located at both the west and east ends of the Gulf Place Public Beach at West Second Street and near the Pink Pony Pub, respectively. A handful of beach wheelchairs are also available on a first-come, first-served basis. There are a few restaurants near the east end of the beach (the aforementioned Pink Pony Pub, for example) and visitors can bring their own food to the beach as well. Lifeguards are present at four designated sections of the shore from March through September. You have the option to park in one of four pay-per-space lots, which cost $5 for the first four hours or $10 for the day. Alternatively, you can try your luck at one of the free lots, but those spaces are first-come, first-served. Note: Several species of sea turtles nest on Gulf Shores' beaches from May through October. Watch for nests and do not disturb them or the hatchlings. Check the Gulf Shores website for more information and a map of the beach access points.

#1 Gulf State Park
Outdoor adventurers flock to Gulf State Park, which sits just a mile east of the public beach. Along with opportunities for swimming, fishing and paddling at Lake Shelby, the park also boasts 28 miles of trails (15 of which make up the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail) that weave throughout. Visitors can also take advantage of the park's guided tours or stop by the nature center to learn about the local flora and fauna. Budget-minded vacationers should check out the park's rental cabins or its campgrounds, while those traveling with pets can make use of the on-site dog park. Those who don't want to rough it can book a room at one of the nearby hotels.
Travelers regularly call the park beautiful and praise the clean facilities. Hikers enjoyed the park's trails and appreciate the water fountains located along the paths. Meanwhile, RVers offer rave reviews of the size of the grounds and the on-site amenities.

The development team at LOD Enterprises has had a busy 2018 – new products and variations across three eras released over the last few months!
As we enter into fall, a slew of new products are available from LOD Enterprises. On the heels of a successful show in Chicago, the new 6" plastic Santa and British Officer are available both unpainted ($17.50) and painted ($30.00). The unpainted versions offer a choice of either red or white.
The boxed figure set, Santa's Christmas Delivery was also a big hit at the Show. This attractive set includes sixteen pieces and is available in the web store and at dealers all over the country and a few places worldwide (for new – expansion is imminent as the holiday shopping heats up). The retail price is $22.50 and will make a great gift for kids, grandkids, or yourself this Christmas season.
In addition to the holiday offerings, we have the four (4) new Rev War figure sets that are included in the last Ron Barzso Playset, the Battle at Yorktown. Each set includes 16 figures in 8 poses and the following are available ….
British Regular Army (LOD 010)
British Light Infantry (LOD 011)
American Regular Army (LOD 012)
American Light Infantry (LOD 013)
Each set retails for $25.00 plus shipping and handling.
The War at Troy series added a variation to their collection. The original figure set which contains 16 infantry figures in 8 poses has been re-run with the defenders of Troy in grey. As everyone familiar with the story knows, the ancient city had many nations come to their aid to hold off the attacking Greeks. Now collectors can add grey Trojans (or allies) to their dioramas as. This figure set retails for $27.00.
Last but not least, here is a sneak peek at the 2019 release of the Amazons. Final detailing is being worked on for the figures, but expect a 12-14 piece set with warriors on horseback and on foot. This set will be part of the War at Troy series.
Thanks for taking a look and happy shopping! Please feel free leave a comment or offer a review of the figures in the web store ~ the LOD team.

Influencers set to use their clout for the greater good with new Social Soup offering
SYDNEY DECEMBER 15, 2017: Influencers are set to use their social clout for good with a new offering from the expert in scaled, authentic influencer marketing, Social Soup – Influence for Good.
While influencer marketing is an inherently commercial arrangement, Influence for Good is an opportunity for influencers to use their powers to assist social causes they feel align with their values. Influence for Good is also a resource for not-for-profits to run authentic scalable influencer campaigns.
Influence for Good is kicking off this month with campaigns for Australia for UNHCR and Sydney Dogs and Cats Home.
"Influence for Good is a new, modern way for people to volunteer their time and resources and use their social clout to help not-for-profits," Social Soup CEO, Sharyn Smith, said.
"We know our influencer community are a giving lot and when we conducted research with our influencers, they expressed an interest in this type of program, with 92% wanting to get involved.
"We've developed an Influence for Good profiling process which allows us to quickly match-make influencers with the right social causes," she said.
A trial campaign for RUOK? Day in September saw influencers spread the message and 4.2 million people engaging the Social Soup influencer network.
In the new year Social Soup will be launching the Influencer Marketing Academy for the not-for-profit community which will offer online training, free tools and other resources to assist not-for-profits with their influencer marketing.
Sydney Dogs and Cats Home Head of Fundraising and Partnerships, Amanda Stokes, said the authenticity of the partnerships with influencers was a key benefit for her not for profit.
"Social media impact is very important to drive behaviour and Sydney Dogs and Cats Home have been thrilled with the results of our Social Soup Influence for Good Program. It's exciting to work with influencers who are passionate about our cause and we benefit from their engaged reach."
About Social Soup:
Innovating with influencers since 2007, Social Soup combines technology and authenticity to create successful influencer partnerships. Social Soup creates long-term partnerships between brands and influencers and has unrivalled experience in all tiers of influencer marketing. http://corp.socialsoup.com/

Agility won a contract to Move 3500 families from Germany back to the UK for the British Army, 2000 of which would fall within the 12 week summer period, which was a daunting task to say the least by any standards. Agility called the project B15.
Lack of truck availability in the summer meant that Agility GRMS decided to go with a plan of containers running between both countries and teams of packers stationed in Germany for the 12-week period, working in specific areas or moving around as needs changed. Some of the crews were away from home for four months solid, as were the operations team set up by Agility GRMS with offices in each region and a head office in Bielefeld with Army HQ.
Agility led the operation with guidance and experience which meant acute, solid planning, preparation, and risk analysis to avoid any problems along the way. This created a smooth and astonishingly well run operation from start to finish. "We had already planned to use Rotterdam not Calais as of course the French do like a strike during the summer and this year was no exception," said Simon Kirby, Director, Agility DGS. "Operation stack would have killed the B15 contract stone dead so in hindsight it is all about covering all bases and making sure no eventuality escapes the risk register."
This drive to leave no stone unturned began two years prior when GRMS warned the MoD that there was a tsunami of work coming their way in a very tight timeframe. It was not to be 'business as usual' and the circumstances required particular and precise planning and treatment, pre ordering and the MoD green light as soon as possible.
Every single shipment was fully export packed before being loaded into 45' containers and transported to a variety of destinations mainly in England and Scotland, Wales. Nearly 200 packers were housed in military accommodation during the critical move window which expired at the end of September. Agility, aided by some if its suppliers on the GRMS contract, completed all the moves on time with less than 0.1% complaints.
The Agility GRMS model has been proved to be an outstanding and unparalleled quality control success over the last five years and continues to deliver the best possible service to people of the British military.
Contract statistics
Up to 55 containers delivered in a day
A convoy of the containers used in B15 would have seen the first reach the summit of Mount Everest and return to sea level before the last started its ascent….
The RAF's aircraft, the Hercules, would have had to undertake 482 flights, full to capacity, to move the volume of the B15 project
63936 m3 moved
2,257,902 cu ft
14,928 m3 (527,194 cu ft) in just one week
14.6 million lbs moved on this project - equal to the weight of 2,500 Rolls Royce cars.
3.42 million lbs in the biggest week.
If each item moved had its own seat, the Twickenham rugby stadium would have been filled three times.
Of the 2500 moves completed, fewer than 25 complaints of loss, delay or damage were recorded.
Next year's effort will be called 'Bravo-one-six'

We've only spent 8 ½ months here, but because we travel around and explore the area so much, we feel like we've really experienced true Southern living. Hey, living through the "dog days of summer" in the South surely has to count for something!
I wanted to take this time to write about the things we've learned through living here. I love that we have the opportunity to live in different parts of the country and learn about what makes each area unique. This country is so amazing, and life can be so different depending on which state or region you live in. Sometimes the differences are so subtle or seem so natural that someone who's lived there their whole life wouldn't realize their lifestyle is so different compared to someone else's from another state. Of course you can experience parts of the different lifestyles by vacationing to different places, but the best way to get to really intimately know an area is by living there for a longer period of time. So as a Midwestern girl that has spent 20+ years in Iowa and 2 in Arizona, here's my take on what we learned from living in the South, and what makes life in Charleston, South Carolina unique. [if you're interested, here is a similar post that I wrote after living 1 year in Arizona.]
1 | Why Southerners like Sweet Tea. Why Southerns NEED Sweet Tea. The need for Sweet Tea is real. I am forever changed. I would have never considered ordering sweet tea at a restaurant – but after doing so twice in the first 3 weeks of living here, I knew I was in trouble. I started craving it and thinking about it too much. I quickly started perfecting my sweet tea recipe, and we now enjoy it every day with lunch. (made with Rockville Raspberry tea from Charleston's Tea Plantation!) I am proud to say I've also scaled back on the amount of sugar I'm using, but still…the need for sweet tea is real.
2 | There are gators everywhere, kinda like deer in Iowa/Midwest. Just as if you're in a forested area and you'd expect to see deer, so also if you are in a swamp/area somewhere near water, you can expect to see them in the right season. However, gators don't run out in the middle of a busy road and total your car (at least not that I've heard). There are 100,000 gators that call the Low Country of SC home. If you're hoping to see one, a warm sunny day in the spring is a great time to see a gator — we saw the most in one day on our visit to Magnolia Plantation.
Yes, that is our car. Yes, that is a gator.
3 | How to get an alligator out of underneath your car. (Learned from experience. True story.)
4 | How to react when being chased by an alligator. (Thankfully didn't learn this one through experience.)
5 | Fried chicken. Fried chicken is everywhere. It's around every corner. There are like 5 different chains all over the place, and that isn't even counting the local places. It's everywhere.
6 | It's possible to NOT eat fried chicken while living in the South. We made it our goal and succeeded. It was the easiest goal to accomplish ever – because I am NEVER in the mood for fried chicken.
7 | Dry Heat in AZ at 110º is 100% BETTER than Humidity in SC at 80º (oh yeah, and summer temps get much higher than that – almost to 100. *dies a little inside*).
8 | Winter isn't "pleasant" like in the SW, it's simply milder than a Midwest winter – no snow, but cold! It's totally unfair. Maybe if we had lived in the SE before the SW our opinions would be different…but for now, we can't imagine why so many people choose East coast over West??
9 | Pretty sure that no matter where you live, you can be completely convinced that drivers in your area are the worst…but trust me, they're the worst here. 😉
10 | When driving over railroad tracks, you're required to slow down to about 5 mph to not wreck your tires/alignment. At first we joked about how everyone would slow down so much when approaching them, but then we quickly understood why. It's probably because they're just so old.
11 | Those nasty bugs that you see outside and sometimes inside your house…everyone else around the country calls them cockroaches, but down here, they're "palmetto bugs." Pretty sure they only call them that so they don't sound so disgusting, (the differences between the two are color, size, and wing span. Big deal.) but trust me, THEY'RE STILL DISGUSTING. I'll live through a winter every year for the rest of my life if it means never seeing a "palmetto bug" again! In Iowa and Arizona, you may see a palmetto bug/cockroach once in your home. If you see more…it's probably an infestation. Here, if you don't see them in your home, you are either blind or protected by angels.
12 | The weathermen are wrong 80% of the time. (I just made up that percentage on the spot – just like the weathermen in the South do!)
13 | Rain can be predicted for an entire week, and storm clouds can hover over the area that whole time…but not a drop will fall. When it rains, it pours. Just torrential downpours. We met some family that lived in Washington state before moving here and they said they're sure that SC gets more rain than WA.
Let's take a break from our silly little rants and appreciate how pretty Charleston can be. Good? Alright, let's keep going. 😉
14 | Hurricane season lasts from June until November. There are evacuation route signs all over. Immensely thankful that we didn't have to deal with that (yet…knock on wood). There were some tropical storms, but they only brought rain (as far as I know – we weren't around the weekend when the bigger one came through!)
15 | So. Many. Spiders. Spider webs pop up everywhere – inside and out – every day. Ew.
16 | This was my first time living in a place where you are literally swarmed by mosquitoes from the moment that you set foot outside. 10/10 would not recommend. The best days are the days after they do the aerial bug spray.
17 | When you live in one area for an extended period of time, you learn how to tell what season it is not by the month on the calendar, but by what bugs are out, what flowers are blooming, and any other weird patterns in nature. Things we learned: January-March the Japanese Camellias are in bloom. Wisteria and azaleas come out in mid March and stay for about a month. Crepe Myrtles fill the South with their lovely hot pink blooms in the hot, hot days of June and July. These nasty black flies were all over the place in May when it started getting hot, and made going for walks miserable. In mid-March, pollen armies attacked the entire city and turned everything outside – sidewalks, cars, houses, anything – a dusty yellow color. Then it rained, and the pollen literally turned the curbsides yellow. My mind had completely blocked that from my memory until I just came across a picture. Yikes.
Pollen. Pollen everywhere.
18 | An interesting cultural parallel: In Northern AZ the Navajo people often subsidize their living by selling pots and fry bread in roadside stalls. Here, the Gullah-Geechee (descendants of former slaves) do the same selling sweet-grass baskets and boiled peanuts (a Southern delicacy).
19 | Being outdoorsy people, we were a little disappointed and underwhelmed by the outdoor scene in the Low Country. Instead of doing outdoorsy things, amusement and activities are found in themed festivals, bars, restaurants, and going to the beach. Outside options for hiking include county parks, walking through thickly wooded and usually wet or flooded trails, or driving a ways inland to a state park or the National Forest for more walking through woods. Sunscreen not necessary, but load up on the bug spray!
"Hiking" in Congaree National Park
20 | The above has made me really think about why I hike, and why I enjoy it. Take the "end reward" out of the picture — a peak, a vista, a waterfall, a cool rock formation — do you still want to go for a hike? Do you hike for the reward, or for the action of hiking in itself? Sometimes it's hard to be considered hiking if the elevation doesn't change. In that case, why not just walk around a garden in a plantation, on a beach, or down the historic streets of Charleston? Here, hiking to me means getting away from the big city, from the crowds and tourists, and learning to appreciate the plants and trees and scenery that make the Low Country unique.
21 | Cypress trees are really cool. So are the Live Oaks. After living in a desert, the trees were kind of a culture shock for us, and we loved it! Spanish Moss can be so picturesque. I could never find the perfect way to capture its quiet, serene beauty with my camera.
Beautiful trees on our walk through Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site.
22 | The best way to see Charleston/the Low Country is by water. (We learned this too late – if you're outdoorsy, invest in a kayak or canoe and embrace it. You won't be disappointed!)
23 | What the Low Country lacks in elevation, it makes up for in rich history, some of it very important, some minor, all of it interesting. The state is over 300 years old after all! You can find it everywhere – a beautiful house or church in historic downtown Charleston, visiting one of the well-known forts (e.g. Moultrie or Sumter), or some old church ruins off the beaten path (Sheldon, Pon-Pon Chapel, or Prince Frederick).
24 | When I lived in Iowa, people would say how my hometown had "nothing to do", and at that time I would probably agree. However, I have learned in the past 3 years that each place is what you make it. In Tucson, Arizona, there was so much to do outdoors – and maybe in the city too, but we spent most of our time in the mountains. Here in Charleston, things to do include beaches, historical sites, the historic district downtown, plantations, and museums. When I lived in Iowa, finding things to do wasn't my focus, because I let myself be tied down to the routines of life: school, work, time with family and friends. None of that is bad of course, but if I were to ever go back, I hope I can take what I've learned and really make an effort to go out and try different things. You can't always control where you live, but you can control how you live and your attitude about it.
Charleston, South Carolina is a beautiful, charming city, and even though we felt it was missing the things we like to do the most, we made the most of every week we were here and are leaving with a mostly completed bucket list and no regrets. We could come back someday, either with the Navy or on our own, but if we don't, we know that we truly were able to enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of the Low Country. The South will forever be a part of our story, and we are so thankful for that.

Skills, Concepts, or Opportunities Gained With a Bachelor's in Psychology
Psychology courses typically cover the following areas:
- Critical thinking from a scientific perspective. Critical thinking is the ability to assess claims and make objective judgments based on well-supported, non-emotional reasons. It involves applying logical principles, rigorous standards of evidence, and a thorough reasoning process. Critical thinking is important in psychology because it allows for an objective conclusion without the risk of acting on a false premise. Through development of intellectual empathy, students can learn the art of suspending judgment through critical thinking.
- Biological stressors and human behavior. Physiological or biological stress is a person's response to a stressor, such as a change in environment. Stress symptoms can affect both the mental and physical health of humans, and can also manifest as a change in behavior. Stress left unmanaged can lead to several behavioral problems, including social withdrawal, angry outbursts, drug or alcohol abuse, and a change in eating habits.
- Descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics use numerical calculations from graphs or tables to provide descriptions of a population or groups of people. Inferential statistics use data taken from population samples to make inferences or predictions about a particular group of people.
- Fundamentals of human cognition. Cognitive psychology is the scientific investigation of all human mental abilities, including perception, learning, memory recall, thought, reason, and understanding. Students may learn the concepts behind methods to evaluate the cognitive abilities of patients.
- Multicultural psychology. Multicultural psychology is the study of how humans behave when people from multiple cultural groups interact. It includes aspects such as racial identity development, multicultural competence, and acculturation, as well as racial prejudice and stereotyping.
