Complaint / review text:
I'm not sure why someone hasn't started on KDS Property Services in Texas yet. Their "SOP" is finding ways to not pay contractors for work. From California, Okalahoma, Colorado, Texas and Louisiana. There are lots of contractors that haven't been paid. Now, there are other people on board and the name of the company has changed to Nomad Preservation. They say that they are not liable for KDS debt, but the same principal people, with the exception of 1 and he's not too far away.
Looks to me as if this was done purposely to keep from paying the numerous contractors that are still owed money.interested in seeing what responses I get from contractors about this post. I'd be willing to bet they'll agree. KDS will pay some of what they owe, but it takes forever to get and then you still don't get full compensation... Meanwhile Sheri and Beth are both driving BMW and Mercedes. Hey Beth, what did you do with the Hummer???

These are all great suggestions. I personally did not know about ginger. Thanks for sharing.
5 Unexpectedly Helpful Things to Pack Before Traveling
Packing for a vacation is often quite stressful. The fear of forgetting something essential is always looming over your head, as it's inevitable that this will happen. To help you avoid that situation, here are five things you definitely should not forget to pack that are sure to save you at one point or another during your travels.
Ginger is known to aid many ailments such as nausea, appetite loss, motion sickness, and stomach pains. Whether you're traveling to a big city or to a remote jungle, take some ginger candies or ginger tea with you in your bag to make sure you can nip those pains in the bud without the hassle of finding (and likely overpaying for) medication at a local pharmacy (if there is one) or at the airport.
Even if you're headed for an island getaway full of fun in the sun, you never know what the temperature of your airplanes, buses or trains will be. Better to be safe than shivering!
Scarves are multi-functional, unisex, and far more handy than you would expect. They can be used to dress up or down an outfit, as a bathing suit cover, or as a makeshift towel. A scarf can also be used to cover yourself when visiting religious sites, as a temporary sling if you injure yourself, and even as a face mask in a dust storm.
Cheap Watch
It can be used as a compass when lost or as currency to barter with if you have no cash and need a ride or assistance of any sort. It can also be used to keep track of time, of course.
Makeup Remover
Whether or not you're actually wearing makeup is irrelevant here. If you pack some makeup remover in your carry-on, you have something small to help you quickly freshen up after a long flight!
Now that you're an expert packer, visit our website or explore our app to find cheap airline tickets, exclusive hotel deals and fun activities all over the world.

This is all so useful, the scarf is a big hit! Thanks Ashley
Great post. I personally find the hoodie most useful when the weather turns colder or when there is a breeze.
Great advice. Packing right is so important, especially for long trips. Completely agree with you.
Great tips! Thank for sharing a great article.
Really your post is really very good and I appreciate it. It's hard to sort the good from the bad sometimes.You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years.
A couple of days ago, a friend asked me to suggest a good alarm clock software for Windows operating system. As you likely know, alarm clock software is present in Windows 10 and prior versions of Windows operating system.

I'm not referring to the good God/evil God type of dualism, I mean Creator/creation dualism.In other words, is it within the realm of possibility that what one experiences in the the Step X merging with the one self/the universe is not the same as merging with God. Monism seems to make God and the Universe synonymous, where as I would say that when one experiences the universe as self, you're doing just that: merging with the Universe and nothing more.I still believe that, as the Kybalion says, the universe is mental, I just don't believe that the reason it's mental is because it resides within the mind of God.I'm saying, is it possible that everything in the Kybalion and the Bardon material is true regarding the laws and nature of the universe, that these effects are true but the causes are something other than what Monism postulates?

My Festive Playlist
Hey, opera lovers!!!
December is already here! That means «holidays are coming, holidays are coming…»:). All buildings are being decorated; famous songs are being played in the streets, at bars and restaurants! And we're all waiting for a little bit of magic in our life at this time of the year. So the atmosphere is very specific and hopeful, so to speak. What can be better than good festive music for maintaining such an advent mood:)?
I have a list of tracks which I keep listening to again and again during December. These songs are about such important things like love, family, friends, piece – things that we all begin to appreciate even more on Christmas and New Year Days. So I wanna share with you my favorite albums and songs which make me happy and charge me with festivity!!!
Classic Xmas songs are must-listen for anyone this month!!! «Let it snow» by Frank Sinatra, «Happy New Year» by ABBA, «Have yourself a merry little Christmas» by Ella Fitzgerald and many, many others. Everyone knows them; everybody will sing along if they are played in a store or in the street!
«Let it snow» by Frank Sinatra
«White Christmas» by Louis Armstrong or by Lady Gaga
«Have yourself a merry little Christmas» by Ella Fitzgerald
«Jingle Bell Rock» by Bobby Helms
«I'll be home for Christmas» by Dean Martin
«All I want for Christmas is you» by Cee Lo Green
«Last Christmas» by George Michael
«Christmas is all around me» by Billy Mack
«Rockin' around the Christmas tree» by Brenda Lee
«Magic moments» by Perry Como
«Happy New Year» by ABBA
For many performers to compose a Christmas song of their own is something special. And I also enjoy such music experiments cause as a rule the melodies are simple and beautiful; the texts are very touching! I would recommend you «Christmas without you» by OneRepublic, «Christmas lights» by Coldplay, «It's Christmas time again» by Backstreet Boys.
The next tracks on my mp3 player are related to a very Christmas romantic comedy called «Serendipity». I watch this film every year in December and it comes hand in hand with the amazing soundtracks! All instrumental tracks are composed by wonderful Alan Silvestri. They accompany emotions on screen so precisely that the music immediately conquers your heart! After watching the movie, I always want to go skating to an open-air skating rink when there are big and fluffy snowflakes in the air! So nice!!! In my opinion the best tracks from «Serendipity» are the following:
«When you know» by Shawn Colvin
«Waiting in vain» by Annie Lennox
«Moonlight kiss» by Bap Kennedy
«Cool Yule» by Louis Armstrong
«Northern sky» by Nick Drake
«January Rain» by David Gray
«Serendipity near Miss» by Alan Silvestri
«Elevator Farce» by Alan Silvestri
My playlist would be incomplete without two Christmas albums by acapella group «Pentatonix»: «PTXmas» and «That's Christmas to me». In case you don't know anything about these guys, they are five talented singers (one of them is a beatboxer) who try to promote acapella style in the music industry using their works. They are astonishing!!! They can arrange anything from classical music to R'n'B! Recently PTX has got nominated for the Grammy Award (for the cover «Daft Punk»)! I LOVE THEM!!!
The group has released two CDs with famous Christmas songs. I can listen to it like forever! Their arrangements are so unusual and innovative all the time that you can't stop admiring their creativeness. My personal favorites are «Carol of the bells», «That's Christmas to me» (which is their original track, by the way), «Mary did you know», «Little drummer boy», «Sleigh ride».
I hope you found this post interesting and helpful for creating a festive atmosphere around you! I'm always into discovering new things, so leave your «holiday» music choices in the comments below;)

#10. James Milner – $9 million
The new Liverpool midfielder and England international comes in at number 10 on this list with a few tidy million tucked aside after a solid career playing in the Premier League. A new tidy paycheck at Anfield should add nicely to it as he looks forward to settling in at his new club. PREVIEW FOR #9: Playing for Manchester United will surely mean you have some money behind you and this is certainly the case for their fall back Ashley Young who is currently on consistent form and will be looking to impress Van Gaal in the coming season as they look set to get back to their former glory.

Do you remember the good old proverb, "Leaves of three, let it be"?
It means, you should not mess with plants that have three edged leaves or leaflets. Because plants with such characteristics are poisonous.
Poison ivy and oak are two such 'not to mess with' toxin plants. Yes, you heard that right; green isn't the right thing always.
Research conducted by American Academy of Dermatology shows that nearly 85% people are sensitive to an allergic reaction in contact with poison ivy and oak (1). Next time you take a stroll on your garden watch out for these notorious plants.
An oily toxin- Urushiol is the main culprit in these plants that triggers the allergic reaction or contact dermatitis. (2)
Following are the ways of exposure to urushiol:
- A direct contact with poison ivy and oak. Urushiol is present in every part of the plants. So, any fateful contact with the plants may expose you to the toxin.
- Urushiol is very sticky and persistent. it's difficult to detect it because it's colorless and odorless. You may pick up the toxin from your gardening tools and pets' fur if these have contacted the plants.
- If you burn the plants, the smoke may cause serious lungs allergy. (3)
Within the first 12 to72 hours of exposure to the toxin, you may develop an intolerable itch, red bumps or rashes and swelling on the affected area.
This contact dermatitis may persecute you for 2 to 3 weeks. The situation may turn worse if you leave it untreated. Then, it'll start a widespread mayhem on your skin with enlarged blisters full of puss. The itch can literally drive you crazy.
An over the counter corticosteroid medication to lower the symptoms of poison ivy and oak is costly. Moreover, it comes with the backlash of side effects. (4)

When the dendritic cells of the skin transfer the toxin to the lymph nodes, the t-cells in the blood starts to destroy the healthy cells of the affected area. A timely thorough shower in cool running water can wash off the toxin significantly.
Using a dishwashing soap can be extra beneficial. Detergent has the grease cutting agents. The offending urushiol is an oily toxin. So, it is advised that you wash your affected skin with dish soap.

You can identify the plants with their clusters of three hairy leaflets with smooth edges. These can be either shrub or vine based on where they grow. According to the season, they can vary in their color as well.
Wear protective clothes: you may have to pay price for 'exposing your skin' in your own backyard. Wear long and covering clothes to shield yourself from contacting with the toxin plants. Make sure to wear gloves when you are working in the garden.
Wash, wash and wash: every time you have a leisurely walk in your garden; make sure to wash upon return. Rinse your clothes and gardening tools. The creepy toxin can stick to your pets' fur as well. Give her a shower regularly.
Get rid of poison ivy and oak from your garden: never even think of burning the plants. The smoke can cause serious problems in lungs. Call professionals to remove the treacherous plants from your garden.
Bottom Line
In order to avoid the menacing rashes and allergic reactions to poison and ivy, the good rule of thumb is: to recognize the plants and to avoid them.
In case you are already suffering an allergic reaction due to the toxin, the above-discussed home remedies will come to your rescue.

The phrase "dental pain" is enough to make most people shudder. Nerve pains, accidents, or nagging dental problems can wreak havoc on your personal and professional life. Your Miami dentist has advanced training to treat your dental emergencies and to relieve your dental pain.
You can never predict when a tooth might form an abscess or when you'll chip or break a tooth. What you can do is find an emergency dentist who can handle your dental problems and provide solutions that will improve your overall and oral health.
Dr. Greenstein does his own root canals and dental implants, and he is an expert in treating patients with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems. Most of our TMD (temporomandibular disorder) patients have nagging neck issues, headaches, tinnitus, jaw pain, and even sensitive teeth. Some of these patients have spent countless hours in a doctor's office or take pain relievers every day simply to function.
At Greenstein Dental, we can assess your TMJ and provide treatments that will knock out those pains for good!
TMJ Therapy
Dr. Greenstein uses gneuromuscular dentistry to determine the most appropriate position of your teeth, muscles, and joints. He uses a fixed or removable orthotic appliance to help guide the jaw into a natural relaxed position. Dr. Greenstein handcrafts each his own orthotic devices after using the J5 Myomonitor TENS unit and K7 instrumentation to study a patient's jaw and find the optimal position for their teeth and jaw.
The orthotic device – which does not realign teeth – eliminates several TMJ-related issues:
- TMJ pain
- Jaw clicking or popping
- Ringing in the ears (Tinnitus)
- Stuffiness in the ears or difficulty with loud noise
- Migraine or tension headaches
- Muscle soreness or stiffness in face, neck, or shoulders
- Pain in temple or base of skull
- Pain or pressure behind your eyes
- Numbness of fingers
Dr. Greenstein usually recommends orthodontic treatment following orthotic therapy. While the orthotic retrains your jaw, orthodontic treatment will give you the correct biting scheme. When the bite and jaw are working together, the stress on your TMJ is relieved.
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is probably one of the most feared medical procedures on Earth, but it's also one of the most useful and important. Root canal treatment and therapy can remove an abscess from a tooth or protect a tooth that has had years of decay. The procedure is no more uncomfortable than having a filling complete, and it saves your tooth!
Dr. Greenstein can handle your root canal treatment from start to finish. The procedure usually takes two to three visits. First, we'll perform a root canal by opening your tooth and cleaning out the canals. Then, we'll fill the tooth – and possibly place a post – to provide support and strength for your permanent restoration. Last, we'll place a permanent restoration, like a crown, that will blend in with your natural teeth.
An infection in the pulp of your tooth or abscess on the root of your tooth can be extremely painful, and it needs immediate attention. Your Pinecrest dental office can provide emergency treatments that can save your teeth and relieve you from dental pains.
If you have nagging dental pains or constant headaches or neck pains, call us today at 305-290-2293 or use our online form to schedule your first appointment!

Next up: TrainWreck! – She sure is! Or is she? She might just be a product of her upbringing and just struggling to get her life sorted and find love like the rest of us?
In this movie, Amy Schumer plays a woman living a sexually carefree life until she meets a nice doctor with whom she seemingly has little in common with. When he begins to pursue her, she tries to run away and treat him like the piece of man meat that he is, but she feels compelled to go against her better judgment. In this movie, Courtney & I had plenty to talk about in regards to relationships, family dynamics, and single life. We got in some good giggles too!
In this episode, we discuss:
- "Monogamy isn't realistic!" – how what our parents teach us when we are young really guides us as adults.
- When Amy and her sister go through their father's belongings, we discuss the family process of grief, and how, even though you were raised in the same house, you may have very different reactions than your siblings.
- "I'm memorabilia" – what it's like to watch our parents recognize their own mortality
- "Do you like sports?"- Oh what we won't say to try to get a date!
- "Do I have to worry about you with other guys?" – What's it like when one person thinks your exclusive and the other doesn't? uh, oh!!
- "I'm finally going to be a grandfather!" – Families don't always agree on who constitutes a family member. It's unfortunate that even though we have so many blended families these days, some extended family members may still not recognize the step-siblings as family members.
- Do we all just keep dating different people from the same mold?
- "Your life has not begun since you don't have a baby"- Oh brother! Don't get me started. There are so many ways people with children have found to make us childless women feel inadequate – Thanks ladies!
- "Just keep her away from the athletes" - What happens when you bring your new love interest around your family too soon and they make totally inappropriate jokes about you!
- Have you played the "Skeletons in the closet game"? – You can really learn about who has no boundaries in this one! I'll drink to that!
- The death of Amy's father – how we process grief is different for everybody, but it's a process that takes time- Amy's boss doesn't seem to get that.

U ber Technologies Inc. is an online transportation company based in the United States. While Uber provides users with an extremely convenient and widely used app, their unethical business practices and less-than-impressive legal track record have recently been called into question.
The company is involved in a case against them in the European Court of Justice, which will determine how the company can operate in nations in the European Union. The company has "come under attack from established taxi companies and some EU countries because it is not bound by strict local licensing and safety rules which apply to most of its competitors," according to Fortune.
Uber claims to be a digital platform, as opposed to a transportation service, which allows them to wrongfully cut corners in terms of legal and safety requirements. Many Europeans––particularly taxi drivers and other transportation companies––oppose Uber taking advantage of the European legal system's current inability to regulate apps such as theirs.
U.S. Legal defines a transportation service provider as "any party, person, agent or carrier that provides freight or passage transportation and related services to an agency." Although Uber claims that it simply connects customers and drivers through their app, they should be held to the legal standards of a transportation service.
The reason for Uber resisting this title is because as a transportation service, they will no longer be able to avoid stricter rules on licensing, insurance and safety, according to Fortune. This does not seem like a valid or logical reason for a company to be able to function outside of this realm of legislation, especially since Uber currently provides rides to individuals in over 400 cities worldwide, according to CNN.
In terms of transportation, an individual's safety and security when getting in a car with a stranger is more important than a company's desire to cut corners and increase profit margins. Although many customers turn a blind-eye to the company's disregard for legal compliance due to Uber's ability to provide a cheap service, this is exactly why they must be held responsible.
Since Uber can easily hire and vet drivers, they are able to offer lower prices, which often puts local taxi services at a disadvantage. It seems that the only way to even this playing field is for Uber to be viewed legally as a transportation service, which will allow for the industry to encompass online and traditional transportation services alike.
In addition, Uber is no stranger to court cases, with CNN reporting that as of August of 2016, Uber had over 70 pending federal lawsuits and a multitude of others in state courts. A number of these cases were related to "complaints against Uber drivers over assault, rape and car accidents," according to CNN. Uber's background checking policy and their level of responsibility for contractors have also been questioned in court.
It seems unlikely that a company that has failed to comply to the ethical and legal standards that are imposed upon their competitors—and that have been questioned numerous times in court—deserves to expand their services before bettering their current ones.
Although the importance of a growing e-commerce industry in Europe is significant, an app-based service should not beat out competitors simply by reaping the benefits of the lack of legal requirements for their type of company.
Uber is undoubtedly a useful app; the decision by the European Court of Justice, however, should hold them to the same standard as other European transportation services. This court case outcome is extremely important, as it will certainly affect other emerging digital platforms and the way they are observed on a legal level.

Global Creatures announced today that Baz Luhrmann's iconic and Oscar-winning 2001 film "Moulin Rouge" is being turned into a stage musical.
Set in the Montmartre Quarter of Paris, the film starred Ewan McGregor as Christian, a young poet who falls in love with Satine (Nicole Kidman), a cabaret actress and courtesan. A jukebox musical using existing pop songs, it also chucked in a few original numbers. Today it's mostly remembered for its sumptous production design and costuming along with its big ol' gushy love story.
In terms of the stage production version, Alex Timbers ("Peter and the Starcatcher," Rocky") will helm from a book by screenwriter and playwright John Logan ("Red," "I'll Eat You Last"). A timeline and opening venue will be announced at a later date. In a statement, Luhrmann says:
"I first encountered Alex Timbers through the remarkable and inventive production of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and the brilliance of Here Lies Love. I immediately recognized the young director's creative spirit and felt we shared similar sensibilities and instincts. So I'm tremendously happy to celebrate that Moulin Rouge! will be under his direction and that the book will be the creation of the gifted Tony Award-winning playwright John Logan whose writing I also admire deeply. It's immensely gratifying to know that a new wave of artists will be leading Moulin Rouge! into its rightful theatrical realm."

June/July 2009
Dilly Beans
Canning takes time, effort, and special equipment. We wanted to make these crisp pickled beans in one hour with one pot.
Why This Recipe Works
We blanched the green beans for our Dilly Beans in salted, boiling water until tender, and followed that with a shock in ice water to prevent overcooking. The salt in the cooking liquid flavored the beans through to the center. It also helped keep the green beans bright green.
We found that dill seed, as opposed to fresh or dried dill, was the most pungent and aromatic—exactly what we needed to boost flavor in the shortened pickling time. We toasted the dried spices (dill seeds, mustard seeds, and peppercorns) in a hot, dry pan to maximize their flavor. After a few minutes, we added the vinegar, water, sugar, and garlic, and cooked until the liquid was infused with the spices. We strained out the spices before combining the liquid with the cooled beans—that way, we wouldn't crunch on the spices while munching on the beans.

If you haven't developed a succession plan for your business, the time to start is now. Consider how you've built your company. Think of the enormous effort you've put into it. Something like this deserves to last after your death or retirement.
Unfortunately, many business owners wait too long to plan their exit strategy — or don't plan it at all. The longer they wait, the more their options for a successful business transfer narrow. Have you made preparations for your family members if you leave the company? Your succession strategy can have a big effect on them. You also need to take steps to limit taxes as much as you can.
One option is to arrange to sell, merge or liquidate the company if you die or retire. This can provide an immediate return that can be distributed as you see fit. But many business owners prefer to transfer ownership to family members or employees. A succession strategy of this sort requires forethought and careful planning.
Business transfers: Know your options
A business transfer to family members raises a number of concerns. Much depends on family dynamics and whether there are members able and willing to take the reins.
You can make the transfer during your lifetime in the form of a gift. If you do, the IRS requires that you value the company for tax purposes. Business valuations are subject to federal audit, so make sure you use an experienced and independent appraiser.
An alternative succession strategy is to leave the business to your heirs, either outright or in a trust. If your heirs decide not to continue the business, they can sell it and receive the proceeds.
Another option is to groom key employees to take charge of the company. To do this, you can establish a partnership or buy-sell agreement that becomes effective when you leave. Alternatively, you could create an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). This creates a trust that purchases the company from you and transfers ownership to your employees.
Think about costs
Your succession plan should ensure that funds are set aside to pay estate settlement costs. The settlement costs will include state inheritance and federal estate taxes. You can use a combination of life insurance, savings, and charitable tax planning strategies to meet these obligations. Your succession plan should also establish a way to provide income to your survivors, which may come from deferred compensation plans, dividends or stock redemptions, life insurance proceeds, or irrevocable trusts.
The Small Business Administration and Family Business Institute provide detailed advice for creating an exit strategy. Also consult with your business banker, who understands your company and can help you craft a plan that gives every possible benefit to you, your business and your family.
City National Bank offers a full suite of financial planning services and succession planning to help you protect, increase and transfer your wealth.

As a proud Manchester United fan, I was left shell shocked by the manner of our 2-1 derby defeat to Citeh – on the 50th anniversary of the Munich Air crash no less – but our local rivals were not the only winners that afternoon as the 'sponsor-less' commemorative jerseys worn by the United players seemed to magically spell out AIG every time I looked.
AIG paid in the millions to get their logo on Man U's jerseys but if brand awareness could be considered the end all and be all of ROI then it was well worth it. As much as I hate how modern football jerseys look these days (with the huge logos of sponsors plastered all over the place), I have grown accustom to it – and the absence of it in Sunday night's match kept reminding me that something was missing. It seems in my mind that AIG and the English champions go hand in hand – not a bad association to have for a brand. Too bad we played so badly!
Of course I know if I lived in the red half of Manchester then I would be amongst the minority to think so positively about AIG because of events leading up the match. A lot of fans were non-to-happy that AIG managed to get their logo onto a tribute graphic outside of Old Trafford.
Here's what a Manchester United blog called Red Rants had to say about the whole incident.
I can't help but cringe at the shallowness underneath it all that's somehow made it up through the corridors of power that inhabit Old Trafford these days.
Doesn't the appearance of the AIG logo stink? They got the shirt deal and all that. But it has been made clear everywhere that no one should be allowed to make any commercial gains from the Munich tribute. It is a tragedy that is meant to be beyond petty advertising and attention crabbing whores. It is for the families/players affected by the tragedy and for the fans.
And this is why the presence of the AIG logo, however inconspicuous they intend to make it look, concerns me. It shows a total lack of understanding on not just the part of the owners; we really don't expect them to know too much, do we? But it is appalling that people like David Gill, who do have some say and understanding of the sentiments of fans, seem to have ignored this detail.
And not just that. How could they even get the words of United Calypso wrong? It's okay if it was a typist rattling away on his keyboard trying to meet some article deadline. But in full blown panels that occupy the East Stand facade of OT that's just unforgivable, and terribly negligent. It would certainly be grating for fans entering the premises.
Oh well AIG, I guess you can't win 'em all.

Today's media can be a valuable means of receiving information but it can also make life difficult for Connecticut residents who have been arrested and charged with crimes. Very often, reports of criminal arrests provide little or spotty details that make it all too easy for people to paint the defendants in very negative lights. That can leave many people wondering if they are really able to get a fair defense and this is an understandable thought.
West Haven man facing DUI and other charges
Felonies, misdemeanors and infractions in Connecticut
Have you been arrested and charged with a crime in Connecticut? Maybe you know someone who has recently been arrested and is facing criminal charges. Either way, it can be important for you to understand a bit about how many types and levels of criminal charges are recognized in the state of Connecticut.
What is forensic biology?
With the plethora of police television shows or movies available, you have no doubt seen actors portraying detectives or discussing the particulars of certain pieces of evidence. But, behind all of the story lines in these fictional situations, what is actually real? In the world of forensic evidence and testing, there are different types of specialities and ways that evidence is evaluated. There are also specific types of testing for certain types of evidence.
Police tactics questioned
Perhaps one of the most important things for Connecticut residents charged with crimes to remember is that they are always owed proper treatment and a proper defense. This can often be difficult to keep in mind especially in cases involving a lot of media attention. Reports frequently give only spotty details that may cast defendants in bad lights.

Tai Chi is an internal martial art that has been practiced widely by Chinese people for over 1,000 years. A lot of scientific studies support its effectiveness as an alternative therapy and exercise. When Tai chi is performed, 3 major components are working together — · Movements · Meditation · Deep breathing
· According to a survey released in December of 2015 by the University of California, Irvine, over 90% of the physicians at its Family Health Center believed that patient satisfaction would increase if offered consultations and therapies in Tai Chi and other CAM fields.

I've been studying Tai Chi and Qigong with Mr. Young since May 2015. I attend class three times a week with each class lasting approximately 50 minutes.
His calm, relaxed, confident demeanor leads to a good learning environment. From his vast and thorough knowledge of the subject I learn something new with each and every class. Also, through his encouragement, I have worked as his assistant in beginner classes. This has helped me to have a greater understanding of the art form.

My husband and I have been taking Tai Chi with Greg Young for almost 1 year. We both have seen and felt significant health benefits which include lower blood pressure, elimination of hip pain and greater balance. This is particularly important for my husband who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. It is great movement therapy for him and helps to exercise the brain through learning new skills with focus and concentration. But the beauty is that it benefits both of us!
Greg is very friendly and a great teacher with a lot of patience for beginners like us. I would recommend Tai Chi with Greg Young to anyone wanting to incorporate exercise, meditation and stress relief in a 1 hour setting!

There is excitement in the office because we are celebrating both Labour and Maharashtra Day. The office is done up in marigold flowers team has invited Nagraj Manjule, director of Sairrat to be felicitated as the Icon of Maharashtra. When he enters the studio, the band goes hysterical and starts playing the celebratory music. Manjule is both embarrassed and flattered. He shares that despite all the accolades the film has been receiving he wonders if the credit is for him or somebody else. "Life in Sholapur was simple but there was no dearth of adventure. We friends would get together and play films – that is enact hits of Amitabh Bachchan stories and dialogues. At that time I did not know that my passion will lead me to the film studios one day. My friends tell me I was forever recounting stories, sometimes retelling films I had watched, sometimes, my own stories but they loved to hear me and sat in rapt attention. I thank them all, they were my first audience and I hope they will be with me even after Sairrat."

Mother Nature this week showed us her power and beauty in two very distinct ways.
Mother Nature this week showed us her power and beauty in two very distinct ways.
On Thursday, June 24, a microburst sporting 80- to 90-mph winds blew through town along with thunder, lightening, rain and hail. Police, Central Maine Power and National Weather Service officials who canvassed the storm's aftermath reported thousands of snapped and uprooted trees, damaged cars and homes and power outages to at least two thousand households.
Police Chief Doug Bracy described the York Golf and Tennis Club on Organug Road as "decimated."
Fortunately, no one was severely injured.
In the storm's wake, a brigade of tree service, utility and Department of Public Works trucks has barrelled through, staffed by employees who are diligently hauling away debris and sweeping streets. Everywhere in town this past week, one could hear the buzz of chain-saw motors.
On Monday, June 28, selectmen endorsed earmarking up to $100,000 from their contingency fund for cleanup efforts. York has endured more than its share of powerful storms this year and this time, it looks like FEMA funds to lessen the financial sting won't be forthcoming. No matter. York can and always does take care of its own. That spirit of cooperation has been apparent in ways large and small the past few days.
Lifting our spirits even more was a visit from a moose Friday, June 25. Was she displaced from the storm? Had she lost her way? Nope. One state wildlife official explained she simply wanted what most of us want this time of year — to cool off and take a dip in the water. Perhaps she merely wanted to try out the new surf zone. What a sight.
We thank the many readers who called The York Weekly to share their stories and their photographs about these events. Truly, this has been a week of community journalism.

Game Developers Conference Unveils Results Of 2017 State Of The Industry Survey Revealing Optimism For The Nintendo Switch, Uncertainty About Console Updates Like PlayStation 4 Pro And Xbox's "Project Scorpio"
Survey Also Shows a Preference for HTC Vive amongst Virtual Reality Hardware As Determined by the 4,500 Responding Developers in the Annual Survey of Game Industry Professionals
Jan 12, 2017
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Game Developers Conference® (GDC) has released the results of the fifth annual State of the Industry Survey, revealing trends in the games industry ahead of GDC 2017 this February. Among the many learnings from the survey of more than 4,500 game developers who have attended GDC in the last three years is the development community's optimism for Nintendo's upcoming Switch platform, with half of respondents believing that the platform can outsell the Wii U in its lifetime. Other findings include an ambivalence among developers on the benefits of mid-cycle console updates like PlayStation 4 Pro and the Xbox's "Project Scorpio." Clear preferences for HTC's Vive platform have also appeared through a series of questions regarding Virtual Reality (VR) technology. The 2017 State of the Industry Survey is the the fifth entry in the ongoing series of yearly reports and serves as a snapshot of the games industry, illustrating industry trends ahead of GDC 2017 in San Francisco. Organized by the UBM Game Network, GDC 2017 takes place February 27th-March 3rd, alongside the 2017 Virtual Reality Developers Conference (VRDC) February 27-28, both at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California.
Game Makers are feeling optimistic about Nintendo's upcoming Switch console
As far as the product's core selling point, its ability to switch between portable and docked console modes, survey respondents are a little more mixed with their predictions on whether or not the feature will resonate with the public. Only 19 percent offered an unequivocal yes ("the right product for the right time"), while 48 percent believe that it might resonate but doesn't seem to be "world-changing". 11 percent figured people wouldn't be interested in the core premise of the Switch, and 23 percent said they were unsure of how it would be received upon launch.
Most developers are unsure about mid-cycle console refreshes, but more are positive than negative
HTC Vive outpaces Oculus Rift as the most popular VR/AR platform
Support for each platform has grown significantly from last year's survey, when Oculus Rift received 19 percent support and HTC Vive and PlayStation VR garnered 6 percent each. Projecting into the future, when asked which VR/AR platform they expected the game after the project they're working on now would be released on, 40 percent of respondents said they were planning to support HTC Vive for their next title. By comparison, 37 percent said their next game would release on Oculus Rift, and 26 percent said PlayStation VR.
When surveyed about general interest level in each of the major VR/AR headsets, survey respondents once again gave HTC Vive the lead. When asked to mark down the VR/AR platforms of most interest to them as developers, 45 percent indicated HTC Vive, 30 percent indicated Oculus Rift, and 29 percent marked PlayStation VR. Microsoft's upcoming HoloLens Augmented Reality (AR) platform came in fourth with 24 percent of respondents.
1 in 10 game makers is working on a platform-exclusive VR/AR game, predominantly for the Vive

Only slightly hungover from the night before, we braved the morning's smoggy heat and jumped on the BTS train heading towards Siam Square, the city's retail hub.
Also know as the Skytrain, BTS is cheap, fast and incredibly easy to use. Ticket machines are simple to figure out and all signs have the Thai & English spellings of station names. The only downside is that it doesn't cover more of the city – the route is a relatively straight line through "new" Bangkok areas such as Silom and Sukhumvit.
Thanks to it's strict "No food & drink" policies inside the trains and stations it's also about the only place in Bangkok where you don't see people eating!
Bangkok has a huge number of shopping malls, selling everything from designer clothing to knock-off DVDs.
Well-known malls include the 8 storey high Central World, Siam Square (popular with teenagers for fashion & stores selling T-pop music) and Siam Paragon, which houses an aquarium & IMAX theatre.
Siam Centre is known for a good selection of Thai boutiques on the 3rd floor, although don't expect to find Western clothing sizes easily!
We were headed for the MBK Centre – specifically MBK Food Island on the 6th floor.
Lonely Planet listed it as having the "granddaddy" of Bangkok's food courts as well as being one of the easiest places to get a cheap vegetarian meal, so obviously I had to check it out for lunch.
A mall food court sounds like a bit of a cop-out when trying local cuisine but in Bangkok they're ridiculously popular for locals and tourists alike, especially on a hot day when the air-con provides a welcome escape!
Both sides of the huge hall were lined with vendors selling every kind of Asian meal you could think of – fresh sushi, chicken satay, roast duck, shark fin soup….the list goes on and on. Obviously the selection of Thai food was never ending, with each counter having its own speciality or regional delicacy.
I made a beeline for the vegetarian stall to see what was on offer. For 55bht (which is around £1) you could chose two varieties of vegetable dish with rice or noodles.
I panic ordered (by pointing at things) and went for a mixed veg stir-fry with a side of Thai greens…
…which I soon regretted! The stir-fry was full of a strongly flavoured mushroom that I really hate and the greens were so stringy that I could hardly eat them.
Martin (after about 20 minutes of deliberation!) returned to the table with a bowl of crab & pork noodle soup and was extremely excited about it!
Disappointed in my first choice I decided to give the veggie stall another try. This time I went for two curries and picked up a fresh coconut to drink too.
Naturally I was much happier after that.
Stuffed – and kind of amazed at how little money we had spent on all that food – we took a wander through the maze-like retail floors.
MBK Centre is known for electronic goods, especially mobile phones. It's usually one of the first stops for backpackers in Thailand to pick up a cheap SIM card or to have a phone unlocked. The stalls are packed with cheap selfie-sticks, brightly coloured cases and every other accessory you could possibly need.
Good basic English is spoken by most of the shopkeepers and they all try to entice you over before you get a chance to check out their competition's stall.
The range of stores selling cameras and photography equipment is also among the best in Thailand, although it's worth noting that I didn't find anything to be cheaper than in the UK / Europe. That didn't stop me from spending a long time admiring the vintage Canon collection until Martin eventually dragged me away!
Sadly we did't have time to explore any of the other malls, but I'd really recommend checking out at least one to get a feel for the Thai shopping culture and enjoy a well deserved snack. You can find more info on the MBK centre here.

3 Ways to do Facebook Domain Verification and Edit Link Post Previews
Take Control of Your Content Packaging
Facebook has provided much needed details on how to edit your link posts and take control of how your content appears on Facebook. Facebook has introduced the concept of "Domain Ownership" which allows businesses to claim domains and say "This link is mine!". In this post we share how to complete the update in 3 steps:
- Add your Web Domain to your Facebook Business Account
- Complete DNS Verification or HTML File Upload
- Associate Your Pages with a Verified Domain
When Do You Need to Make Updates?
We recommend taking action as soon as possible, but no later than early January 2018. Facebook states, "In early Q1 2018, we will only allow verified domain owners to edit their link posts." Configuration should take less than a few hours.
Content is a product, and how you package your product is critical. The sooner you make these updates to take control of your packaging the better.
Context: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
On July 18th, 2017, Facebook discontinued the ability for most teams to modify their link content previews due to concerns around bad actors modifying the packaging of content that wasn't theirs to modify.
"As part of our continuing efforts to stop the spread of misinformation and false news on our platform, we're removing the ability for any Page to edit how a link appears on Facebook. By removing the ability to alter link metadata (i.e. headline, description, image) from all link sharing entry points on Facebook, we are eliminating a channel that has been abused to post false news. Our blog post has more information. On July 18, 2017 the ability to overwrite metadata for previews attached to link posts will no longer be available for most Pages and apps." – Facebook
Imagine a bad actor modifying the Washington Post article that debunks the story that NASA was kidnapping children and sending them to Mars, instead writing "NASA Takes Kidnapped Children to Mars". Unfortunately, some people believe this, sharing without reading. Bad News Bears.
Yes, this is a silly example, but the underlying issue - unrestricted editing - can cause issues. Facebook understandably needed to take action. That said, social media teams regularly modify their Facebook link post image, headline, and description to something other than the default content defined in their Open Graph Tags (aka "OG" tags; learn more here. Facebook previously allowed teams to do this for years, since default text and images often aren't optimized for Facebook. Headlines can be too long, not punchy enough for social, or need revisions, and images may simply be low quality or not the best performing option.
Editing enables teams to improve post engagement by using better content packaging. This is why clients use Naytev to A/B Test Facebook posts.
A Flexible Solution Is Here! Facebook Domain Verification with Business Manager
Facebook is providing a few ways to not only edit link previews again, but also allow you to claim content ownership so that only your team can modify your link post previews. Awesome!
All methods involve verifying your ownership of your web domain. Here are your options:
- DNS Verification (involves Business Manager)
- HTML File Upload (involves Business Manager)
- Open Graph Markup Tag (no Business Manager)
Facebook (and Naytev) recommend option 1 or 2; they're easier to manage and more flexible. Below are Facebook's exact recommended steps for implementing these two options.
Complete Facebook Domain Verification with Business Manager
We'll keep this brief. There are 3 Steps:
- Add your Web Domain to your Facebook Business Account
- Complete DNS Verification OR HTML File Upload
- Associate Your Pages with a Verified Domain
Step 1: Add Your Web Domains
Regardless of whether you go with the DNS Verification or HTML File Upload approach, you'll need to first add your domain(s) in Business Manager; this takes just a minute. Here are Facebook's instructions:
- In Business Manager, click on the Business Settings button.
- In the Business Settings, make sure you are in the People and Assets tab, and select Domains from the left side navigation list.
- Click on the Add New Domains button, and enter your domain in the Add a domain pop-up dialog.
- If you have more than one domain listed, select the domain for which you desire to confirm ownership. Note: Facebook enables you to share your domain with a partner if needed – more on this at the end of this post.
- Choose the method you wish to use to verify your domain: DNS Verification or the HTML File Upload. Note: You only need to use one method.
Step 2, Option 1: DNS Verification Add a DNS TXT entry to your DNS record to confirm ownership
The DNS Verification tab of your selected domain provides the TXT information you will need to add to your DNS record.
- Navigate to the DNS record section of your domain host.
- Add the TXT entry to your DNS record.
- Add @ to the Host field (if it is required by your domain host).
- Once the changes have propagated across your domain's web servers, click the Verify button at the bottom of the DNS Verification tab for the selected domain. Note: Typically, this change takes only minutes to occur, however there are cases where it may take up to 72 hours to complete.
- Leave the TXT entry in your DNS record as it may be checked periodically for verification purposes.
Step 2, Option 2: HTML File Upload If you don't want to use DNS Verification, then instead you can upload an HTML file to your web directory and confirm domain ownership in Business Manager. You'll need admin access to your website's root folder to use this HTML file option.
The HTML File Upload tab of your selected domain provides the HTML verification file you need to upload to your website.
- Download the HTML verification file.
- Upload the file to the root directory of your website. You will be able to see that it is uploading at the link provided in the HTML File Upload tab.
- Once it is done, click the Verify button at the bottom of the HTML File Verification tab for the selected domain.
- Leave the HTML verification file in your website's root directory as it may be checked periodically for verification purposes.
Step 3: Associate Facebook Pages with a Verified Domain Here's where the simplicity of the Business Manager Verification approach shines. Assuming you went with the DNS or HTML approach instead of the OG approach, your domains are now an asset in Business manager that you can easily assign Pages to. Below are the steps Facebook shares for associating Pages:
- Under Domains, select the desired domain, and click on the Assign Pages button.
- You should see any and all of the Pages you have added to Business Manager (if your Page is not available, make sure you have imported it into Business Manager under the Pages tab). Select all the Pages you wish to add to the domain, and click Save Changes.
- You should now see any added Pages listed under Assigned Assets for your selected domain.
Step 4: You're Done!
Implementing Domain Verification is an easy way to control editing privileges of your content, ensuring you can modify how your content appears while also preventing others from misusing it. Facebook's flexible options should help your team make these updates quickly and manage them easily going forward. Your content packaging is key and Facebook is putting packaging control solidly back in your hands.
Appendix: Need to Share Your Domain with A Business Partner? Facebook supports sharing your domain. Follow Facebook's instructions below:
- First, complete "Step 1: Verify Your Domain", then Select the verified domain you wish to add a partner to, and click the Assign Partner button.
- Select Domain Admin from the Role drop-down field.
- Enable sharing by either giving your partner a link or entering your partner's Business Manager ID.
- Share the provided link with your Business Manager partner.
Note: Each link can only be used once and will expire after 30 days if not used. Your Business Manager partner will be able to complete the domain sharing by clicking on the link and assigning their Business Manager to the shared domain.
- Connect your domain using your partner's Business Manager ID.
After clicking the Assign Partner button, click on the Connect your domain using your partner's business ID instead link at the bottom of the pop-up dialog. Enter your partner's ID, and click Connect to enable sharing.
Full disclosure, we provide these steps verbatim from Facebook's documentation to avoid any confusion. Facebook's documentation may change over time, so here's the original post from Facebook providing details: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/domain-verification

A 7th Circuit Court of Appeals judge dissented from his colleagues' affirmation of an Evansville police officer's murder and arson convictions, believing the evidence presented by the state doesn't support that the man started the fire at his ex-lover's house.
Patrick Bradford had an affair with Tamara Lohr. When his wife found out, he broke it off with Lohr, who was not happy about it. While on patrol on the overnight shift, he reported seeing a fire at Lohr's house. She was found inside on her bed, her body burned and with 21 stab wounds. Her poodle was found stabbed outside her bedroom door.
Bradford was convicted in the murder of Lohr and for arson, but he disputes that he had enough time to set the fire. He was caught on a bank surveillance camera two blocks away from Lohr's house 65 seconds before he called for help from her home after seeing the fire.
His convictions have been upheld on direct appeal and after seeking post-conviction relief. He filed a petition for habeas corpus in federal court, but Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson denied review last November. Bradford is currently serving an 80-year sentence for the crimes.
Circuit Judges Richard Posner and Michael Kanne affirmed Magnus-Stinson's ruling, finding Bradford had his chance and failed to present reliable evidence that would establish his innocence. The majority also rejected his claim that his trial counsel was ineffective in deciding to retain a certain fire expert.
Judge David Hamilton dissented, believing testimony of Bradford's expert witness at the post-conviction proceedings that the majority relied on to affirm the denial of Bradford's petition seems sound and it would exonerate Bradford. Carpenter testified that the fire must have burned for at least 30 minutes before it was extinguished, which he based on an inspection of burned and unburned wood and materials, and the level of carboxyhemoglobin in the poodle's blood. The poodle was still alive when the fire began based on the amount of COHb in its bloodstream.
Hamilton noted most of the majority's critiques of Carpenter's testimony weren't even raised during the cross-examination of him at the post-conviction hearing.
"Given the state court's conclusion that the analysis Carpenter provided was available at the time of the original trial, I would treat the failure to seek and find such critical expert evidence as ineffective assistance of counsel," Hamilton wrote. "In the alternative, I would treat this case as appropriate for an actual innocence grant of habeas corpus," in which Bradford is either released or retried.
The case is Glenn Patrick Bradford v. Richard Brown, superintendent, 15-3706.

Hustle, one of the
best Martin Scorsese films not directed by Martin Scorsese (James Toback's Fingers (1978) is another film that
falls into this camp), opens with an amusing sequence in a hotel room wherein
con artist Irving Rosenfeld (a nearly unrecognizable Christian Bale) is
attempting to hide his male pattern baldness. It is April 1978 and confederates Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams), who is
presenting herself as an English aristocrat named Lady Edith Greensly and Richard
DiMaso (Bradley Cooper) are in the midst of trying to sting Carmen Polito
(Jeremy Renner), the Mayor of Camden, NJ. Irving has to get it together and be
convincing (what we don't know at this point of the film is how conflicted he
is about what he is doing regarding the mayor). He comes to blows with Richard, who eggs him on and ruffles his hair in
a hilarious moment of awkwardness and discomfort, and we wonder if Irving will
blow a gasket and go Joe Pesci on Richard or if he will simply attend to his
ridiculous comb-over. The question of
why they want to sting the mayor is eventually revealed as the story flashes
back to when Irving and Sydney first meet and bond over their love and
admiration of Duke Ellington. They
realize they are kindred souls and their attraction to one another intensifies. As we come to learn, however, nothing is
quite as it seems because as David Mamet showed us in both House of Games (1987) and The
Spanish Prisoner (1997), everyone is potentially a mark and each mark is
played for someone else's gain. Irving is
married and has a son but like professional thief Neil Mccauley (Robert De Niro)
in Michael Mann's Heat (1995) he is
good at what he does, and in this case he knows how to not only conduct loan
scams but forge fake paintings even when hiding behind a legitimate business of
being a dry cleaner for tax purposes. Unfortunately, he and Sydney attempt to con Richard,
who turns out to be an FBI agent who cuts them a deal: he forces them into aiding
him entrap some other targets and promises that if their help results in four
good arrests, they will both end up with tabula
rasas, effectively avoiding jail time.
Hustle, which opened
theatrically in December 2013, is set within the framework of the Abscam scandal
of the late 1970's and early 1980's, which also provided the backdrop for the
Al Pacino/Johnny Depp vehicle Donnie
Brasco (1997). It was the first time
in history that undercover FBI agents videotaped the taking of bribes by
politicians. This factors into the film, which was directed by David O. Russell
who also directed Flirting with Disaster
(1996), I Heart Huckabees (2004), and
Silver Linings Playbook (2012). Mr. Russell has meticulously recreated the
1970s to such a degree that you cannot help but marvel at all of the details,
looking carefully to try and spot any obvious anachronisms. Amy Adams stars opposite Mr. Bale (who
followed in Mr. De Niro's thespian footsteps and gained some 40 pounds to play
the role) and she gives a multi-layered performance as Sydney, impersonating a
refined British woman. It becomes a game
between Irving and Richard trying to tell which person they are talking to, Sydney
or Lady Greensly. Jennifer Lawrence
portrays Irving's wife, Rosalyn, and proves why she is one of the best
actresses working today. Rosalyn is a
loose cannon. Like Sharon Stone's impetuous
Ginger McKenna in Casino, she has a
big mouth and messes with dangerous people when she isn't starting fires by microwaving
metal or vacuuming her house while belting out the famous songs of the day. She hates Sydney and lets her know it, and
underneath the hardened and tough veneer is a woman who is hurt by her
husband's betrayal.
Goodfellas (1990) and Casino (1995) are obvious stylistic influences here, ranging from
effective use of period music to the inclusion of an uncredited Robert De Niro
as a mobster, Victor Tellegio, who actually speaks Arabic! The scene where he attempt to communicate
with a supposedly wealthy Arab sheikh (in reality a fraud who speaks Spanish
and English) is both tense and funny. Jeremy
Renner is his usual brilliant self as the Mayor of Camden, based upon Angelo J.
Errichetti who in reality served three years in prison for his role in the
Abscam scandal (in the film, which is highly fictionalized, he serves 18
months). Mr. Errichetti passed away
seven months prior to the release of American
Hustle at the age of 84.
The use of voiceover is also effective,
a device that Mr. Scorsese also employed to great effect in his aforementioned
gangster epics. The film runs a quick 138
minutes, but I have seen 90-minute movies much longer than this.
The Blu-ray is the way to go for this
release as it comes with a DVD and digital copy. The extras are slim, which is unfortunate
considering the high number of Oscar nominations and accolades the film
received. They consist of a behind-the-scenes
look at the making of the film which runs 16 minutes, and an extended deleted
scenes section that runs 22 minutes. The
requisite theatrical trailer is also included. I would have loved a running commentary from the director as the film
was obviously a labor of love. That
being said, its exclusion should not detract from your enjoyment of watching
this highly watchable recreation of a specific moment in time in New York and
New Jersey's history.

Blackburn House resident staff serve the community of Todd in a variety of ways. Our aim is not only to create ways of serving, but to serve organization already working in the area. We believe in serving in a way that builds connections as neighbors–not as convenient charity done by outsiders. We strive to emulate models seen in the Christian Community Development Association and the broader movement of asset-based community development (ABCD – see videos below).
We partner with Elkland Art Center, volunteering every week to support their work in creating community through art. We support the Todd Community Preservation Organization, volunteering at their community events and music series. BBH now serves on the TCPO board, with one House member as a representative. In a similar vein, we also support the Todd Ruritan Club, volunteering at events such as the New River Festival, and attending monthly meetings.
Beyond our service in the wider community, daily life in the house is one of service. By sharing in cooking, cleaning, childcare, gardening, and welcoming guests there are many opportunities to put on Jesus' teachings, serving one another in the ordinary.
Ongoing service initiatives:
Tutoring program – we enjoy supporting our students, teachers, staff, and administrators through our program at Green Valley School
Community Garden – our community garden supports meals in the BBH and beyond, its mission is:
To be a demonstration plot for stewardship, community, education and service. Through community partnerships, we seek to provide a community gardening program that develops leaders in organic agriculture, integrates spirituality and faith, and distributes fresh food to address hunger in Todd and surrounding areas.
Church community events – Blackburns' Chapel and Blackburn House offer regular events that bring the community together, from Dinner and Movie nights to community potlucks. Check back often on our Calendar for these events.
– Dinner and Movie – Todd's own big screen movie theater!!! FREE meal and family friendly movies every 4th Friday at 6pm.
Emerging and short-term service projects:
Todd Listening Project – BBH is leading this project with other churches, community organizations and leaders to get to know more of our neighbors, hear their concerns and what they're passionate about, and mobilize those who will participate in multiple future community initiatives and projects.
Todd F.A.R.M. Pop-up Cafe and Sharing Center – This is a partnership with and based on the model of Boone's F.A.R.M. Cafe. The goals of this initiative is to establish these cafes in smaller rural areas outside of Boone in order to bring many and diverse local people together over a meal, to address hunger, increase volunteerism and develop neighborhood leaders, and to provide a space for community asset/resource sharing of products, talents, skills, education, etc. (like a mini festival or flea market). Check back for updates and details!
Todd Free Healthcare Clinic – with folks from the Boone Community Care Clinic we are in the conversation and planning stage for this initiative. We are planning several interest meetings and finding ways to mobilize our neighborhood to stand with and behind this initiative. Our first interest meeting will be Monday, March 9 at 6:30pm in the basement of Blackburns' Chapel UMC. Please spread the word and come join us!!!
Check our Volunteer page for ways you can join us in these incredible service opportunities!
