Bears in Love Book 2
Rebecca Ann is done with men and their duplicitous nature. Her ex boyfriend was caught red-handed in the act with Rebecca's best friend. Will she ever be able to heal her soul from the deep emotional wounds left by her callous ex?
When two wounded souls meet, a smile from her is all it takes for the sparks to fly. Throw in an ex or two on a mission, a clan of grizzlies that will protect their own to their last breaths, and a little romance to nurture your soul, and you have one of the greatest powers on earth… Love.

I was sent into Fall City, Washington to get supplies for the week. While there, I visited The Roadhouse Restaurant and Inn, a small clapboard building that dated back to 1916, and that's when it happened. Instant hard-on and not just because she was beautiful, but because she was mine. She smiled at me as she walked up to my table to take my order and my polar bear rushed to the surface. Yep, a polar in a grizzly clan. Not something you see everyday, but Marcus the clans leader and all around giant grizzly is my pseudo-dad figure, and once you are in, that's it. Your clan, your family. I had to concentrate on holding my polar back. I got a whiff of her scent, like fresh snow and pine trees, I had to grip the table sides to keep myself in my seat. My polar, and if I am honest, my human self, wanted to grab up this vision and take her away to keep her to myself.
She lives with a couple of cantankerous grizzly bears (aka her loving, supportive husband and youngest child) and now that her two eldest bear cubs have migrated from the den (aka married life and adulting) she has more time to dedicate to her passion and to pour out the stories that fill both her mind and her heart.
Her hope is that you will continue to find adventure within her books and love her stories just as much as she loves writing them.

I am a capricorn in every sense of the meaning. I overthink everything, I am a type A personality and I can hold a grudge and pretend like there is nothing wrong.
Tell us something really interesting that's happened to you!
I was run over by a car driven by my aunt in the late 1980's, she literally rolled the car over my foot and it broke several small bones.
What are some of your pet peeves?
Loud chewing, facial hair (it kinda freaks me out), know it all people, liars...
Where were you born/grew up at?
Born in Northern California but moved a lot as a kid and not because anyone in the family was in the military...my mom liked to have what she called 'adventures'
If you knew you'd die tomorrow, how would you spend your last day?
With my husband and children and out many pets.
Who is your hero and why?
My dad was and is my hero, he had a third grade education (he was born in the 1940's) and he was one of the smartest men I've ever known. He was always working no matter what
What kind of world ruler would you be?
A terrible one, I am so indecisive.
What are you passionate about these days?
My writing and my hubby, all of our children are finally grown and we can get back to being an 'us'
What do you do to unwind and relax?
I read, listen to music drink a little wine...
How to find time to write as a parent?
Luckily my children don't 'need' me as much as when they were younger, the youngest is 18 now.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I still don't really, although I write and publish books I am still perfecting my craft and making my work better and better...maybe by book 4
Do you have a favorite movie?
Grease is my all time favorite tied with The Wizard of Oz
Which of your novels can you imagine made into a movie?
I would love to see book two turned into a movie. It is the best of my work so far...
What inspired you to write this book?
I was inspired by a dream I had while writing book one and that is how we ended up with 4 more books planned for this series.
What can we expect from you in the future?
A lot more sexy shifter romance, this is my genre and I wouldn't change anything about what I am currently writing. Of course, that doesn't mean that some day I might not branch out. I have this amazing idea for a mail order bride story...
Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in When I See Her Smile?
Trevor was fooled into thinking that the woman he was with in book one was his fated mate, that didn't end well for him as you will find out in book two. Rebecca Ann is the one who everyone takes advantage of (not because she is a door mat, but because that is what she knows~her mom is terrible) and when the two meet its magical.

The good guys I used names that I liked when I was pregnant with all three of my children that made the lists but not the cut. The bad guys all have names of people I don't like irl

Did you learn anything during the writing of your recent book?
I learned that I can write and write on a deadline.
If your book was made into a film, who would you like to play the lead?
Matt Bomer

I love that people are reading my books, sharing my posts on facebook and twitter, so I guess what I really want to say is thank you for going on this amazing, crazy journey with me.
How did you come up with name of this book?
I was writing the first few chapters and the LFC (Lead Female Character) smiled at my LMC (Lead Male Character) and the title hit me with his reaction to her smile.
What is your favorite part of this book and why?
I love when the main 'bad guy' character gets theirs, its always a smile worthy moment for me when good prevails over evil.
Are your characters based off real people or did they all come entirely from your imagination?
My LMC is based loosely on someone very close to me, the LFC is based a little on me, and some of my friends and family members.

They always hijack my books, but I keep the story going in the right direction. These books are real, the characters have flaws but they are also good people.

Do the characters all come to you at the same time or do some of them come to you as you write?
Most come to me as I write about the two main characters in each book, the stinkers.
What kind of research do you do before you begin writing a book?
Before the book, none really. While I am writing is when I research.
Do you see writing as a career?
I do.
What do you think about the current publishing market?
I think that publishing is a good mix of traditional and indie, I love that there is an indie market where anyone who wants to can write and publish a book.
Do you read yourself and if so what is your favorite genre?
I have been reading since I was 3 and I really don't have just one favorite, although PNR is ahead of the rest of the pack.

My first book I wrote in almost complete chaos, I wrote on my breaks at my graveyard IC job book two I wrote at home wearing headphones and listening to the newest Kelly Clarkson CD
Do you write one book at a time or do you have several going at a time?
I write one at a time, but characters from my upcoming books are usually trying to take up space in my head at the same time.
Pen or type writer or computer?
Laptop for sure, I type 75 WPM way faster than I could ever write long hand.
What made you want to become an author and do you feel it was the right decision?
I wanted to get the stories that were taking up room in my imagination down on paper to share with the world. I definitely think it was worth it.
A day in the life of the author?
Up by 430 am to get ready for my 'real' job as a call center rep, 6-3 work the day job. Home by 330 and on the computer writing, marketing, interacting with my social media accounts, checking and making NL's, sending out emails designing swag, in bed by 11 pm ish, and then I lay there for an hour before I can sleep. Rinse and Repeat.
Advice they would give new authors?
Follow your happy. If you want to write, write if you don't want to don't. But always be true to yourself.
Describe your writing style.
Fly by the seat of my pants let my editor make it pretty is my style
What makes a good story?
So many things; plot twists, the characters the story itself and a happily ever after.
What are they currently reading?
Just finished a new release from Jules Tyler called Finding Sanctuary and I have several go to re reads.
What is your writing process?
I don't really outline, I get the idea for a book and then run with it! Once I get the flow going I add chapters and page breaks as it is needed.

Today's Piano Puzzler
This week we return to the archives. Here's what I wrote before: "This week's contestant is Andrew Smith from El Paso, Texas -- making his second appearance on the show, going for redemption. At first I couldn't hear the hidden song, then thought I heard a theme, but the music starting getting overlapped and I couldn't be sure...but the theme came through more clearly, and I stuck with original thought. And was right. The composer style though I didn't get. Though I thought I had a reasonable guess. But hearing the right answer, I probably should have gotten it."

The wise, esteemed city leaders of Glendale have taken it upon themselves to banish hot-dog vendors on the streets, outlaw readable signs on Brand Boulevard, dictate what kind of fences residents may put up, and now (Glendale section, June 26), we learn, to have the final say on architects' plans for any new building project in the city. That is all well and good. But City Council members have overlooked an important obstacle to their beautification efforts, an obstacle which threatens to undermine all their good work.
The obstacle is ugly people. Inquiring minds want to know; what good is an aesthetically pleasing building, one that passed the City Council's inspection, when its clean lines and pleasing facade changes are ruined by some overweight slob coming out the front door? Are we going to stand around and permit ugly people to live in these architectural masterpieces? I demand that the City Council expand its already octopus-like arms further into the community by creating a 10-member Body Design Review Board. Every citizen would have to present themselves before this panel and demonstrate that they met the high standards Glendale has set up for its city and its residents. Ugly, garish, inharmonious and monotonous people would be given three chances to resubmit themselves in a more acceptable fashion. If they fail the third time, paper bags would be placed over their heads, and they would be sent to live in Pasadena.
Only through drastic measures like these can Glendale continue in its bid to become the generic, lackluster community it so dearly desires to be.

It was never about what we did for my parents. It was always about the time we spent together.
Tag: mom
This children's book was the perfect mix of humor and values. My girls were learning to take care of a "pet" without ever realizing it. Every day Riley and Carly diligently took care of their egg setting an example for any child reading this book. The writing was simple and straight forward making it easy for even my four year old to grasp the concepts. It was an instant hit.
Post book launch my To Do list never ends. I never seem to have enough time to do anything. I have books to read, novels blogs and short stories to write, my novels to promote and get reviewed etc. Added to that are my typical wifely and motherly duties.
This book was well illustrated and easy for kids to follow. It gave subtle clues on what healthy meals were as well as showed great examples of a healthy lifestyle. It also showed children that they should be helpful which isn't always seen today.
Samantha watched as her brother James stood before the entire kingdom for the announcement of his coming child. It would be a grand day indeed now that their family's succession was assured. Their father king Edward thought James' wife Carolyn was the best woman in the world save their mother. Since the day they'd married he'd hounded the young couple to have children. It was the same for her other brother David and his wife Diana. They hadn't even been married a year yet and father wouldn't leave them alone.
Chook Named Chuck has Amazing Luck (Friendship Series Book 3) is a children's book written by Kimberly Kleczka. Chuck is a depressed down on his luck bird, who looks like a chicken, with an amazing skill. Only Chuck thinks it's a burden. which is why Chuck is depressed, or at least he seemed so to me, that is until he meets Klara the cow. She encourages Chuck to use his talent of mimicry to entertain and help other farm yard animals.
This is a reflection on the relationship between R. Tran and her mother and daughters.

This girl freaks out in the middle of the street. Law enforcement steps in.
Is this a typical day in Long Beach, CA?
'Cause — Wow.
The girl was upset with the police for putting her 'homeboy' in the back of the cruiser, so she hits the cop car and brought her rage into the middle of a busy intersection.
Trending: OOPS: Morons Attempt A "Dukes Of Hazzard' Jump Over A Drawbridge – That Was A BAD IDEA
The officer tried to calm her down but didn't succeed.
His buddy, Mr. Billyclub has more success.
He eventually gets her out of the intersection the only way he can.
People's kids these days.
Did you hear the applause in the background when he took her down?
It's surprising it didn't look like this:
Make sure that the girls you know don't do crap like that.
ClashDaily.com's, Editor-In-Chief, Doug Giles how-to book:
Raising Righteous & Rowdy Girls
It has been said that daughters are God's revenge on fathers for the kind of men they were when they were young. Some would say that both Doug Giles and I, given our infamous pasts, are charter members of that club. However, Doug and I know that his two wonderful daughters and my equally wonderful daughter and two granddaughters are truly God's fantastic gift. With the wisdom of hindsight and experience Doug has written the ultimate manual for dads on raising righteous and rowdy daughters who will go out into the world well prepared- morally, physically, intellectually and with joyful hearts- to be indomitable and mighty lionesses in our cultural jungle. Through every raucous and no-holds-barred page, Doug, the incomparable Dad Drill Sergeant, puts mere men through the paces to join the ranks of the few, the proud, and the successful fathers of super daughters. The proof of Doug Giles' gold-plated credentials are Hannah and Regis Giles- two of the most fantastic, great hearted and accomplished young ladies I have ever known. This is THE BOOK that I will be giving the father of my two precious five and three year old granddaughters. Tiger Mom meet Lion Dad! — Pat Caddell Fox News Contributor —
In 'Raising Righteous and Rowdy Girls', Doug Giles reinforces the notion that little women don t need to be pampered by their fathers to turn out right. And having met his beautiful daughters, I know his philosophy works. As a strong-willed woman who thinks her daddy is the greatest guy in the world, I can tell you this is a must-read for every man who hopes to earn the same title. —-S.E. Cupp Best Selling Author & Fox News Analyst
If I ever have daughters I m going to raise them up like Doug Giles has done: strong, proudly feminine, tough as nails, Proverbs 31 girls. 'Raising Righteous and Rowdy Girls' is an excellent guide which shows how a father can raise up real women in a society that desperately needs them. —-Dana Loesch, Editor BigJournalism.com, Talk Radio Host, Television Commentator
Don't pick a fight with the Giles girls! — –Andrew Breitbart

This site gives a brief overview of my life-long search for the Ultimate Truth and how it lead me to
become a motivational & transformational speaker. You will also learn about a project I'm passionately
involved with known as the Statue of Responsibility.
I grew up in a small town in New Jersey. Around the age of 17, I overheard a conversation about the
collective consciousness. Little did I know, this is where my search for answers would begin.
Upon graduation from high school in 1968, I joined the United States Navy becoming a survival,
evasion, resistance, and escape (SERE) instructor. I was tasked with running a simulated POW camp
designed for those who had a strong chance of being captured in Viet Nam. Although this was a
simulated environment, I was shocked to see how quickly our students actually began to believe they
were really prisoners of war and not just in a simulated training environment. Seeing this motivated me
to begin studying how the human mind works.
After leaving the Navy, I decided to document my research on the human mind and combine these
findings with my search for the true meaning of life. Ten years into my research, I discovered the work
of Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor from Austria who later became a neurologist and psychiatrist.
Frankl is the founder of logotherapy, a form of existential analysis, the "Third Viennese School of
Psychotherapy". As a prisoner of a Nazi concentration camp, Frankl saw a flower growing in a crack in
the concrete and said to himself, "If that flower can survive here, so can I!" While in the camp, Frankl
studied the behavior of the guards and his fellow inmates, much like I studied the behavior of my SERE
Viktor Frankl wrote the book "Mans Search for Meaning". In this book, Frankl promoted the idea that
there needs to be a Statue of Responsibility on the West coast of America to complement the Statue of
Liberty on the East coast. This Statue of Responsibility will be a symbol of the personal responsibility
we have towards our fellow man; treating everyone with respect thus allowing everyone to be truly free.
I found this to be very inspirational and I wanted to see his dream of the statue come true. Thankfully, I
discovered and joined a group of other like-minded people dedicated to bringing Frankl's Statue of
Responsibility dream into fruition. This is more than a statue; this is the beginning of a worldwide
movement of personal responsibility.

Alimentation Couche-Tard, founded in 1980, is now the largest company on the basis of revenue of any Canadian based company.
- Alimentation Couche-Tard released its Q4 and FY2018 results at the close of business July 9th.
- On March 22nd, I wrote that the pullback in the company's stock price presented investors with a window in which to acquire shares in the world's 2nd largest convenience store operator at an attractive valuation.
- The company is now the largest company on the basis of revenue of any Canadian based company.
- Being extremely cost conscious and focusing on meeting customer needs presents the company with ample growth opportunities in this highly fragmented industry.
Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (TSX: ATD.a and ATD.b) reports its financial results in USD. Its stock, however, is traded on the TSX. Investors willing to purchase US shares over the counter should look at ANCUF. These shares, however, are very thinly traded.
ATD has Class A multiple-voting shares which are primarily held by insiders and which are very thinly traded. This article will deal with the more commonly traded Class B subordinated voting shares.
ATD uses USD as its reporting currency since it provides more relevant information given the predominance of its operations in the United States. This article, therefore, reflects all figures in USD unless otherwise noted.
Readers unfamiliar with Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (TSX: ATD.a and ATD.b) might recognize the company's Circle K, Mac's, and Ingo brands.
In my March 22, 2018 Alimentation Couche-Tard – Attractive After Recent Pullback article I touched upon the fragmented nature of the convenience store industry and how ATD is rapidly expanding its presence on a global basis.
If you are interested in reading about people who have succeeded in the business world you may enjoy reading How Alain Bouchard built the Couche-Tard & Circle K convenience store empire. As I read the book I couldn't help but think I may have unknowingly very briefly crossed paths with him when I frequented Perrette stores in the Montreal area when I was in my teens. I wonder if Bouchard ever envisioned heading up a company which is now the largest company on the basis of revenue of any Canadian based company ($51.4B Total Revenue in FY2018)!
In my March 22nd article I indicated that I viewed the pullback in the ATD's share price as presenting an opportunity to acquire shares in a well run company at a reasonable valuation. On the basis of my analysis I acquired additional non-voting class B shares for the FFJ Portfolio bringing the total number of shares held to 553.
The shares pulled back a bit further subsequent to my article which presented investors with an even better opportunity to acquire reasonably valued shares in this high quality company.
At the close of business on July 9th, ATD released its Q4 and FY2018 results. On July 10th it held its analyst call to review its performance and the stock price popped thus prompting this review to determine whether ATD is still attractively valued for investors willing to initiate / increase their position in the company.

The English Summer returned just in time for the grand finale to the year - our Sports Day and Picnic Lunch for all the families and children of Maidford Montessori Nursery.
There were lots of races for the children, then the brothers, sisters, mums and dads had a go too. The children had a yummy picnic lunch and the grown-ups had coronation chicken, salmon, quiches and salads -all rounded off with strawberries and chocolate brownies and cream.
It was a wonderful end to a wonderful year - thank you to everyone who organised the day and took part!
Our Olympic Sports Day!
The weather behaved impeccably for our last day of term and our Olympic Sports Day. Lots of Mummies and Daddies (and Grannies and Granddads!) came along to support and clap and cheer the children from the Arrival of the Olympic Torch, through all the events and they even took part in their own race at the end. We all had a delicious picnic afterwards and enjoyed the summer while it lasted!
Our Jubilee Week
We celebrated the Queen's Diamond Jubilee all this week with lots of yummy cakes and biscuits decorated with red, white and blue icing. We had some healthy snacks too, but they weren't quite so colourful! We decorated our Nursery with lots of flags and bunting too and had our lunch outside when it was warm enough.
Sports Day 2011
We wish you all a great Summer Holiday!
The parents did as much racing in and out of the rain as the children but everyone had a great time and the lunch was delicious. Thank you to everyone who took part in our special day!
Julie had a birthday!
Julie celebrated a very special birthday recently and everyone joined in the fun. Fiona showed the children how to count all the way up to 40 using their fingers!

We have used Nigel on many occasions and have always been thouroughly satisfied with his work. His methodical attention to detail & extremely competitive rates are just what we look for when selecting a provider & he has transformed the area around our 80 foot pond plus expert fencing front & rear.
Kevin Willetts - Bury St. Edmunds
We regulaly use Nigel for both large and small landscape work. He has laid large Indian sandstone patios and pavements and also undertaken smaller one off jobs such as pruning the rambling roses in our display area. The work is quickly undertaken and carried out efficiently and satisfactorily. We would highly recommend him.
Brian Nixon, Lane End Farm.
Really pleased with the service we got,friendly and helpful and discussed all possible plans for our garden,the outcome was superb with plenty of attention to detail and a practical layout of the decking. thank you Nigel
Richard Thomas
I was recommended Plant and Deck by a friend of mine after wasting my time talking to builders I decided to go to a landscape gardener. After meeting Nigel I soon became very clear that he knew exactly what he was talking about, his professionalism shone through and his customer care and communication was excellent. I would highly recommend him for all of the above and his attention to detail and workmanship were second to none.

Short Stories
The trapped souls always cry out loudest at night.
During the day, they chime soft, unless heavy winds shriek through the area. But night . . . night has its own set of rules for spirits locked away in bottles hung on the bottle tree.
Jessica threw back the blanket and tumbled out of bed. Though warmth blasted from the heater, she still felt cold. Goose bumps crept along her exposed skin like gophers sticking up their heads out of the ground. She snatched her fuzzy dressing gown off the chair by the bed and drew it on, cinching the belt tight. Barefoot, she padded over to the window, lifted the bottom of the curtain, and stared through the glass at the backyard.

Sesame Bankhall Group is running a compulsory accreditation programme for members who want to use the Sesame One platform.
It says the programme will give advisers guidance, training and assistance on the use of the platform, plus relevant tools and processes to ensure IFAs are recommending a product that is suitable for clients.
The full accreditation process can take a number of weeks and involves three stages, including a due diligence process to ensure the platform is right for individual firms and their clients, an online assessment and a training session delivered by Axa Elevate.
Sesame business development director Keith Gilmour says the programme will be free to Sesame members.
He says: "Platforms remain a high priority for the FSA, which is why we bel- ieve this programme is key to supporting and protecting our members.
"This programme provides support in helping firms to move their business to this new platform-based offering."
Finance and technology research centre director Ian McKenna says the programme will enable IFAs to make a key strategic decision.
He says: "The selection of a wrap platform is a key strategic decision for any IFA. This kind of thing is essential and will be the difference between an adv-iser maximising their potential or not."
IFA Robert Philip Bowsher says: "I think it is an excellent idea. It will ensure clients get the correct advice and that the standards of Sesame advisers' advice is high."

Many may not be aware of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s cozy and lucrative relationship with African countries. Following earlier attempts to establish links with some nations on the Continent through the provision of aid programs, this relationship has intensified with North Korea currently having embassies in 11 out of 54 African countries.
The motives of North Korea are, however, controversial. In contrast to the sanctions imposed on the country by the UN and many Western nations, it has been reported that North Korea has been using African nations as a revenue source. Specifically, the DPRK builds infrastructure for African countries for a profit. The country also sells military equipment, including weapons. Recently, a UN report revealed that weapons barred by UN sanctions were found in more than six African countries. Despite the tough sanctions, North Korea has been able to avoid them in a seemingly quiet continent. The report details how the largest seizure of ammunition in the history of sanctions against the country was discovered en route to Egypt. The ammunition included 30,000 rocket-propelled grenades, carefully hidden under wrought iron. The intended destination of this ammunition was, however, unknown.
Prior to the seizure, a member state of the United Nations seized an air shipment that contained military radio communication. The shipment was destined for an Eritrean company, the second time military items have been captured during transportation between the two nations. Namibia is also said to have close ties with North Korea. In 2016, the country violated UN sanctions and stayed tied to North Korea commercially. The country has contracted with North Korean companies for the construction of a munition factory. Many African nations are obliged to cut their interactions with North Korea after the UN sanctions were imposed but many have not. This may be partly due to the fact that ties go beyond just commerce. More than a few countries will also find it hard to relinquish this relationship because they were aided by North Korea during their independence struggles.
Some African nations are, however, not too welcoming to the advancement of North Korea in Africa. The US ambassador to the UN gave a warning to the countries violating sanctions, noting that the United Nations will cut off trade ties with the countries. The United States also trades with many African countries and contributes to initiatives in different sectors.

Message from the Dean
Dr. Indra K. Reddy
Professor and Founding Dean
The Texas A&M Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy impacts thousands of lives. The college has eight active student organizations that reach out to our community when they provide blood glucose and blood pressure screenings at health fairs, lead diabetes and smoking cessation education programs, clean up parks, help children with homework at the Boys and Girls Club, and are engaged in many community action projects in Kingsville and greater South Texas region.
In addition, the college faculty, staff and students worked with Kleberg County to deliver health screenings for more than 250 county employee families in the spring. Students volunteer time with Project HELP (Health Education and Literacy in Practice), where they serve Su Clinica Familiar in Harlingen, Texas, to improve patient health literacy, medication and chronic disease education.
Each year the College sponsors an event, International Extravaganza, for students and the community to enhance cultural awareness and to foster cultural competence in the communities it serves. This event also presents a glimpse of some of the cultural traditions of Europe, Asia, India, the Islands, Mexico and South America, where student pharmacists exchange ethnic foods, share an understanding of the health benefits of these ethnic foods, showcase multilingual lyrics and music, and play multicultural games that are unique to different parts of the world.
This fall a new cohort of 87 students, the Class of 2017, begins their educational journey in the College. It is impressive to note that our College continues to receive large pool of qualified applicants for pharmacy programs in the state, year after year. This incoming class includes 10 students from Texas A&M University-Kingsville and 42 percent are from South Texas.
Opened its door to students in 2006 to meet a critical need in the South Texas community where there is a shortage of pharmacists, the College has now established an exceptional pharmacy program, obtained full professional accreditation with flying colors, and has graduated four cohorts of students.
Today, 103 out of 309 of the college's graduates have returned to South Texas to help underserved populations. The college's leadership strives to entrench a culture of excellence, education, research, practice and patient care to each professional student enrolled. Guided by a set of core values, the College continues to advance the profession of pharmacy and to enhance the quality of peoples' lives in South Texas, Texas and beyond. No wonder it is ranked in the Top 50 for pharmacy programs in the country within a record time, as per the recent US News and World Report rankings.
We are growing in strength. As mentioned by State Rep. J.M. Lozano in his column this month: "In a move that gives students and faculty increased educational and scientific opportunities, the Texas A&M Health Science Center recently merged as a unit within Texas A&M University. This aligns the college with a flagship university and allows faculty to build innovative, multi-location collaborations with colleagues in fields such as veterinary medicine. Cutting edge pharmaceutical and biomedical research leads to better health care."
The College has plans in the works to expand its program as it continues its focus to serve South Texas. Expansion will allow for a modest increase in enrollment and open more seats for students who meet the competitive standards for the professional program. The student pharmacists at the College attain and practice skills with the largest preceptor network in the state of Texas, 915 members strong.
The College, emboldened by its mission and vision, endeavors to change the face of South Texas through its unbridled commitment to exceptional pharmacy education, superior science and compassionate patient care. The college is proud of its past and is poised for the timely growth to meet the needs of South Texas residents.

Edisto Island Baptist Church — Edisto Island, South Carolina
SC Picture Project | Charleston County | Edisto Island Baptist Church
Edisto Island Baptist Church was founded in 1818; today it is known as New First Missionary Baptist Church. Hephzibah Jenkins Townsend, wife of planter Daniel Townsend of Bleak Hall Plantation (now part of Botany Bay), became a Baptist in 1807. Following her conversion, she organized a Baptist mission society in 1811 which paved the way for the first Baptist church on the island. While her husband approved of her work on behalf of the Baptist denomination, he, a Presbyterian, did not change faiths along with his wife.
An independent woman, Hephzibah moved out of her spacious plantation home due to a disagreement with her husband over the future of their estate. She wished to divide their property among their 14 children, while he wanted to leave it all to the first-born son. In response, she took an ex-slave, Bella (other accounts say she took a slave or slaves), with her to live on a parcel of land, now the site of Wilkinson's Landing. At her new home, Hephzibah built tabby ovens, which she and Bella used to make baked goods to sell in Charleston.
With the proceeds of the pastries, Hephzibah was able to build Edisto Island's first Baptist sanctuary in 1818. (Some accounts claim that Daniel Townsend eventually helped with the cost; we are unsure which is true.) The Reverend Richard Furman – minister of First Baptist Church in Charleston, namesake of Furman University in Greenville, and a driving influence in the life of Hephzibah – presided over the dedication ceremony. The tabby oven ruins remain standing on the island.
The church initially operated as a mission of the First Baptist Church in Charleston. In 1822 the Townsends conveyed 14 acres on Edisto Island to First Baptist in Charleston in a trust to "provide and for the Support and maintenance forever hereafter of a Clergyman of the Baptist Denomination on Edisto Island to officiate regularly in the Baptist Church on the Said Island." By 1829 Edisto Island Baptist Church was operating independently of its mother church.
During the Civil War Federal troops overtook Edisto, causing most white landowners to flee. Many former slaves remained, and in 1865 the United States deeded the church to a black congregation. That year, an addition to the front of the church doubled its size; the facade was removed and reattached to the church during this project. The two-story pedimented portico was added in 1880.
Twentieth century modifications include the addition of two bathrooms in the rear of the church and a major restoration project in 1982. The name of the church was changed after it changed hands. The African-American congregation remains active today, and the church now shares its sanctuary with the Episcopal Church on Edisto, a newly-formed congregation that continues to adhere to national Episcopal policy. A monument to Hephzibah Townsend stands behind the church.
New Sanctuary
Below is the result of the 1982 construction project. A new sanctuary, which is where the congregation now meets, was built adjacent to the historic church. The words above the entrance read, "Enter to worship, depart to serve." The aforementioned Episcopal Church on Edisto now uses the historic sanctuary; prior to that the Baptist congregation utilized the space for storage and a ceramics shop. The interior of the new sanctuary displays religious artwork.
The historic sanctuary of Edisto Island Baptist Church is listed in the National Register:
Edisto Island Baptist Church was built in 1818 through the efforts of one woman, Hepzibah Jenkins Townsend. The church is also architecturally significant because the 1818 church core with its tabby foundation and recessed panel slave gallery is still intact. In addition, it is significant in African American history because it has operated continuously as a black church since the trustees turned the church over to the faithful black members after the Civil War. The original portion of the church was square in plan and supported by a tabby foundation. The two-story church is sheathed in beaded weatherboard and had a medium pitched gable roof whose ridge ran longitudinally, perpendicular to the façade. Pedimented gable ends graced the façade (southwest) and the rear elevation (northwest). The original façade, which was removed and re-erected as the façade of the ca. 1865 addition, which doubled its size, had three bays. Around 1880 a two-story pedimented portico was added to the façade. In the first quarter of the twentieth century two small, one-story, gable roofed restrooms sheathed in shiplap siding were added to the rear of the church. Adjacent to the church is a baptismal pool, also of tabby construction. The pool might date as early as the construction of the church, although this has not been documented.

The next brain-child of the famed Bondi Hipsters, Cassius calls himself an entrepreneur, a rapper, a visionary, a thinker and an artist.
"I don't push boundaries so much as make them push and bend and swill at the seams," he said in the duo's latest Facebook post.
"I really hope people are offended by what I'm doing. Finally there will be something that dislodges the sediment in their minds."
It's the little bit whacky, little bit cool, quite a lot of confusing your week has been looking for. And you might not know it yet, but you'll love it, according to Cassius.
As the creator of rule-breaking, law-breaking, chloroform-based perfume 'Sans Consent', his own 24/7 life-stream and the 'Cassius and the Kiddy Fiddlers' rap outfit, he's bringing the break to authority that's just as weird as it is awesome.

Chalchiuhtlicue [t͡ʃaːɬt͡ʃiwˈt͡ɬikʷeː] (from chālchihuitl [t͡ʃaːɬˈt͡ʃiwit͡ɬ] "jade" and cuēitl [kʷeːit͡ɬ] "skirt") (also spelled Chalciuhtlicue, Chalchiuhcueye, or Chalcihuitlicue) ("She of the Jade Skirt") is an Aztec deity of water, rivers, seas, streams, storms, and baptism. Chalchiuhtlicue is associated with fertility and she is the patroness of childbirth.[1] Chalchiuhtlicue was highly revered in Aztec culture at the time of the Spanish conquest and she was an important deity figure in the Postclassic Aztec realm of central Mexico.[2] Chalchiuhtlicue belongs to a larger group of Aztec rain gods[3] and she is closely related to another Aztec water god, Chalchiuhtlatonal.[4]
Religious significance[edit]
Chalchiuitlicue directly translates to "Jade her skirt," however, her name is most commonly interpreted as "she of the jade skirt."[3] She was also known as Matlalcueitl, "Owner of the green skirt," by the Tlaxcalans, an indigenous group who inhabited the republic of Tlaxcala. Most texts describe Chalchiuitlicue as married to the rain god, Tlaloc. However, others describe her as the sister of Tlaloc,[5] or the wife of Xiuhtecuhtli (also called Huehueteotl).[6] Chalchiuitlicue is the mother of Tecciztecatl, an Aztec moon god.
In Aztec religion, Chalchiuitlicue helps Tlaloc to rule the paradisial kingdom of Tlalocan. Chalchiutlicue brings fertility to crops and is thought to protect women and children.[7]
Chalchiutlicue's association with both water and fertility is derived from the Aztecs' common association of the womb with water. This dual power gave her both life-giving and a life-ending role in Aztec religion.[8] In the Aztec creation myth of the Five Suns, Chalchiuhtlicue presided over the Fourth Sun, or the fourth creation of the world. It is believed that Chalchiuhtlicue retaliated against Tlaloc's mistreatment of her by releasing 52 years of rain, causing a giant flood which caused the Fourth Sun to be destroyed.[9] She built a bridge linking heaven and earth and those who were in Chalchiuhtlicue's good graces were allowed to traverse it, while others were turned into fish. Following the flood, the Fifth Sun, the world which we now occupy, developed.
Chalchiutlicue is also credited with the death of those who died in canoe or drowning accidents.[10]
Archaeological records[edit]
Chalchiutlicue is depicted in several central Mexican manuscripts, including the Pre-Columbian Codex Borgia (plates 11 and 65), the 16th century Codex Borbonicus (page 5), the 16th century Codex Ríos (page 17), and the Florentine Codex, (plate 11). When represented through sculpture, Chalchiutlicue is often carved from green stone in accordance with her name.
The Pyramid of the Moon is a large pyramid located in Teotihuacán, the dominant political power in the central Mexican region during the Early Classic period (ca. 200–600 CE). The pyramid is thought to have been at one point dedicated to Chalchiutlicue. It accompanies The Pyramid of the Sun, which is thought to have been dedicated to Chalchiutlicue's husband, Tlaloc.
In the mid 19th century, archaeologists unearthed a 20-ton monolithic sculpture depicting a water goddess that is believed to be Chalchiuhtlicue from underneath The Pyramid of the Moon. The sculpture was excavated from the plaza forecourt of the Pyramid of the Moon structure. The sculpture was relocated by Leopoldo Batres to Mexico City in 1889, where it is presently in the collection of the Museo Nacional de Antropología.[11]
Visual representations[edit]
Chalchihuitlicue wears a distinctive headdress, which consists of several broad bands, likely cotton, trimmed with amaranth seeds.[12] Large round tassels fall from either side of the headdress. Chalchihuitlicue typically wears a shawl adorned with tassels and a skirt. She is often depicted sitting with a stream of water flowing out of or from behind her skirt.
In the Codex Borbonicus (page 5), Chalchihuitlicue wears an elaborate blue and white headdress. She sits on a red stool and a stream of water flows out from the bottom of her stool. A male baby and female baby, who are depicted as if swimming, are carried in the water.[13]
In the Codex Borgia (page 65), Chalchihuitlicue sits on a red throne and a river flows outwards from behind her body. Two figures stand in the water and Chalchihuitlicue gesticulates out towards them. She wears an elaborate yellow headdress.[14]
Rites and rituals[edit]
Five of the twenty big celebrations in the Aztec calendar were dedicated to Chalchiutlicue and her husband (or brother), Tlaloc. During these celebrations, priests dove into a lake and imitated the movements and the croaking of frogs, hoping to bring rain.
Chalchiutlicue presides over the day 5 Serpent and the trecena of 1 Reed. Her feast is celebrated in the ventena of Etzalqualiztli.[10] As she is associated with the fertility of both people and land, the Aztecs asked Chalchiutlicue for a good harvest of crops.
As Chalchiutlicue was the guardian of the children and newborns, she played a central role in the process of childbirth. As mothers and babies often died in the process of childbirth, the role of the midwife was also of utmost importance in the process.[15] During labor the midwife would speak to the newborn and ask the gods that the baby's birth insure a prime place among them. After cutting the umbilical cord, the midwife would wash the new baby with customary greetings to Chalchiutlicue.[16] Four days after the birth, the child was given a second bath and a name.
As reported by Sahagún's informants, the midwife would say, "The gods Ometecutli and Omecioatl who realm in the ninth and tenth heavens, have begotten you in this light and brought you into this world full of calamity and pain take then this water, which will protect you life, in the name of the goddess Chalchiutlicue."[16] She would then sprinkle water at the head of the child and say, "Behold this element without whose assistance no mortal being can survive." She also would sprinkle water on the breast of the baby while saying, "Receive this celestial water that washes impurity from your heart." Then she would go to the head and say, "Son receive this divine water, which must be drank that all may live that it may wash you and wash away all your misfortunes, part of the life since the beginning of the world: this water in truth has a unique power to oppose misfortune." Finally, the midwife would wash the entire body of the baby and say, "In which part of you is unhappiness hidden? Or in which part are you hiding? Leave this child, today, he is born again in the healthful waters in which he has been bathed, as mandated by the will of the god of the sea Chalchiutlicue."[16]
