Hi Dear Friend,
So many changes have happened since I last wrote to you. As you may know, I had a life-changing vision of Jesus on January 7, 2017 that caused me to walk away from the new age. I wrote about this experience in my new book, The Joy of Jesus, which is available as a free download at bit.ly/TheJoyofJesus and as a paperback at https://amzn.to/2vqPBDW
I want you to know that I have never been happier, felt more free, or been more peaceful than now. Jesus truly offers us the answers that we are seeking! He heals and fills up our heart in a way that no person or activity can do.
So I wanted to update you on some of the latest, and let you know that you can contact me directly at Instagram.com/DoreenVirtue with any questions or prayer requests.
Here's a list of some of the changes:
– I'm no longer an author or radio host with Hay House. They have been great about taking my name off of some of the New Age materials. They also printed some publications that I was working on prior to us parting ways, such as the Love and Light Cards which have scripture, the Saints & Angels book, and an upcoming calendar that has a new age sounding title, but is scriptural inside.
– Michael, my parents, and I moved away from the ranch and now live in the Pacific Northwest. The story of this heartbreaking change is in my new book. We were able to take the dogs and cats, but the farm animals couldn't travel, so they were all rehomed. Here's a link to download my new book for free. It's at bit.ly/TheJoyofJesus
– Unfortunately, I can't get my old New Age material out of print. A lot of it is old books and cards that are still circulating. Plus the foreign rights were sold on my products, and I don't have the ability to control these items or their websites. In the US, some of my old products will go out of print, and my name has been removed from tarot cards and some other new age products.
– The money from the old new age materials is distributed in a combination of charity, paying off my back taxes, and supporting my volunteer work.
– After reading the whole Bible, I now understand that God wants us to go directly to him for answers and guidance. He does not want us to do any psychic work. As a result, I do not do any readings or use cards or other divination tools anymore.
– When I get a vision or intuition, I go directly to God and the Bible to make sure that it is a message from the Holy Spirit and not from a demon.
– Here is an article with answers to frequently asked questions: http://www.doreenvirtue.com/2018/07/05/frequently-asked-questions/
– My name is also coming off of my old New Age apps, and the money from those apps is being donated to a homeless shelter. I do have a new biblical app called God's Calming Promises. You can try this new app for free by clicking here, to see if you like it.
– I've also stopped working for Woman's World magazine.
– I threw away all of my old new age books, cards, artwork, etc., and immediately noticed a beautiful lightness in my home and in myself. This also helped to reduce the spiritual warfare.
– I spend most of my time now doing volunteer work, which is so fulfilling. I found that you can meet the nicest, most generous and genuine people, at volunteer activities. If you want to meet giving friends, and make a positive difference in the world, sign up to do volunteer work.
Regarding angels, I am now convinced that the Bible is 100% true and accurate. The Bible has The Angel of the Lord, the angel Gabriel and the Archangel Michael, and also Cherubim and Seraphim. The Bible is filled with references to the angels. But nowhere in the Bible does it say we should call on angels. It only says that we should pray to God and he sends us angels.
We have to wait for God to send his angels, if that's his will. But he has so many ways of helping us, in addition to angels. The Bible is very clear (especially in the book of Hebrews) that Jesus is above the angels. We are not to pray to or worship anyone but the Holy Trinity. So I no longer call on angels, especially since discovering that demons often disguise themselves as angels.
For more information about angels, please read my new book. Here's a link to download my new book for free. It's at bit.ly/TheJoyofJesus You're welcome to join me for my video broadcasts:
– Daily at 6:30 pm Pacific time on Instagram.com/doreenvirtue during 2018. You will see the live broadcast at the top of the Instagram page, where there's a circle with my picture inside of it. If you can't make the live broadcast, you can watch the video later on Instagram, by clicking on the circle.
– The videos are also stored at Vimeo.com/Doreenvirtue. These talks are about the daily reading of the One Year Bible NLT, which you can buy on Amazon or any bookstore.
– Daily podcasts about the One Year Bible are on iTunes. Just search for Doreen Virtue in the iTunes podcast store, and you'll find the podcasts there.
– Every Saturday at 6 pm Pacific on my Facebook.com/Doreenvirtue444 page. These broadcasts are a brief talk, followed by a prayer.
As the world seems to grow crazier and colder each day, it's such a comfort to know that Jesus is holding his hand out to you and to everyone on this planet. He loves you! My prayer is that you will answer Jesus's call, and follow him.

Talk about a case of deja vu.
Talk about a case of deja vu.
New Bedford's Bob Dubois made his second career hole in one last Sunday during the final round of the Fourth Annual Men's Invitational at Allendale Country Club in Dartmouth.
Dubois used a 7-iron on the par-3, 167-yard 12th hole to match the same club and distance on his first ace, which came 14 years ago on his 56th birthday at the 13th hole at Whaling City Municipal Golf Course in New Bedford.
"It took a little time to do it again, but I did it," said Dubois, a retired barber who still cuts hair on Saturdays at Lunds Ltd. on Mount Pleasant Road in New Bedford. "Except for the course, the circumstances were exactly the same and it makes you wonder what the odds are of something like that happening again."
Dubois, who started playing golf when he was 44, has an eight handicap these days and once played to a five. He still plays at least four days a week at age 70. He worked as a full-time barber for 52 years before cutting back.
"I still have a lot of loyal customers," said Dubois. "People still line up for me to cut their hair."
A member at Allendale, Dubois said his latest ace came after he had made a disappointing bogey five at the 10th hole.
"It was a nice high shot that hit about 5 or 6 feet in front of the green, took one bounce and rolled right in," said Dubois. "It's not something you expect to do at my age, but you never know what's going to happen on the golf course. Sometimes the ball just bounces the right way for you."
Dubois made the hole in one playing in a group with Allendale's Rick Sylvia and two players from Country Club of New Bedford — Fred Borges and Rick DeMello.
Jason Paquette and Dan Marr teamed up to win the invitational's Championship Flight, where Mike Hochman and Ron Dias were the runners-up.
Jim Brown and Mark Sylvia prevailed over Jay Condon and Greg Golden in the First Flight.
Bob Medeiros and Rick Mudge finished first in the Second Flight, ahead of Gerry Lemieux and Len DiPasqua, and the team of Louis Bolarinho and Elvis Tavares outdueled Bob Lima and Roger Brightman in the Third Flight.
Paquette and Marr parred the third hole to win a shootout between the four flight winners and finish as the overall champions. Medeiros and Mudge took second place in the playoff.
Bill Pineo and Dan Jenkins won the Palmer Flight with a birdie on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff with Mike Hansen and Chris Tuite in a Member-Guest Tournament played July 20-22 at LeBaron Hills Country Club in Lakeville.
The teams tied with 34 points after the final round. Dave Hobaica and Brendan Mungovan finished third with 32 points.
Here's a look at the top three finishers in the other flights:
Snead — Todd Moitoza and Tom Benoit (35); Jim Sullivan and Marty McGrann (33.5); Brian Gaudreault and Dino Pimental (33.5).
Hogan — Mike Arter and Art Wilson Jr. (37.5); Rick Sullivan and Jason Cook (37); Peter Mrowka and Jeff Brown (35.5).
Player — Bob Mather and Les Smith (40); Donna Martini and Doctor Jones (34); Ken Wilson and John Kade (33).
Nicklaus — John Oliveri and Ralph Wolfendale (40.5); Tim Wynn and Jay Blanchard (36); Sean O'Leary and Peter Fox (33.5).
Shootout winners — Moitoza and Benoit.
Closest to the pin from 135 yards out at the 18th hole — Pineo, 10 feet, 1 inch; Pimental, 22-4.
In other news, Mike and Patrick Arter combined to shoot a nine-hole 39 and take first place in the 12-and-under division in the club's Parent-Child Championship.
Jeff and Alex Dandreta were second with a 51 and the third-place score of 55 was posted by Mike and Michael Hansen.
Rick Sullivan had a hand in winning the 18-hole championships in the 13-and-over boys and girls divisions, posting an 87 with Ryan Sullivan and a 93 with Jenna Sullivan.
Six area golfers earned spots in the field for the Massachusetts Public Links Championship at a qualifier hosted by Acushnet River Valley Golf Club on July 23.
Poquoy Brook's Bill Kidik led the way with a 2-over-par 74 that left him in a two-way tie for fourth place, and Lakeville Country Club's Gary Benoit carded a 3-over 75 to finish in a three-way tie for sixth.
Poquoy Brook's Mike Moniz and Bay Pointe Country Club's Chris Overshiner shot 4-over 76's to finish in a four-way tie for ninth.
ARV's Jason Williams carded a 6-over 78 on his home course and Poquoy Brook's Chad Harrison matched that score to join Williams and three other golfers in a five-way tie for 14th place.
Poquoy Brook's Bill Tribeau put together a round of 7-over 79 and finished as the second alternate.
Jim McDonald finished at plus-11 to take first place in an Individual Point Tournament played July 22 at Hawthorne Country Club in Dartmouth.
Paul Fernandes was second at plus-8 and Steve Vincent rounded out the top three at plus-7.
J.J. Rapoza took fourth place at plus-6 and two players — Gary Sullivan and John Correira — tied for fifth at plus-4.
Ron Travassos, Dick Medeiros, Wayne Correia, and Vincent teamed up to post a plus-18 score and take first place in a Point Pro-Am Tournament played July 21.
Greg Midodoulakis, Andy Cardoza, and Scott Oliveira tied for second at plus-14 with the team of Gerry Richard, Brad Cashman, and Fernandes.
The fourth-place score of plus-12 was recorded by Tony Balestracci, Bob Barry, and Dennis Bessette.
Nine players from three area clubs will be in the field for the Women's Golf Association of Massachusetts Curtis Bowl Tournament, which gets underway Monday at Norton Country Club.
Allendale Country Club will be represented by Bea Mendes, Valerie Tower, Vivian Picinisco, Dorothy Bentley, and Jan Santos.
The field will also include Country Club of New Bedford's Enid Weinshel, Ann Webster, and Sue Stykowski, and Reservation Golf Club's Jeanne Bonneau.
Mattapoisett's Peter Uihlein, who will be a senior in the fall at The Pendleton School in Bradenton, Fla., saw his bid for the United States Junior Amateur Championship come to an end in Thursday's quarterfinals.
Anthony Paolucci, a 14-year-old from Dallas, made a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to notch a 1-up win over Uihlein at Boone Valley Golf Club in Augusta, Mo.
Fall River's Bob Hebda used a driver to ace the par-4, 316-yard fifth hole at Hillside Country Club in Rehoboth during a July 15 round playing in a group with Frank Cunha and Jim Dias.

It's free, it's confidential and it's delivered by business owners
Running your own business is an emotional roller-coaster. As one of our clients said…
I can lie awake all night worrying about the problems, the debt, the difficult employee, or a hundred other things. Then when I get to the office, and open the post, and find an order for £5,000 the elation is palpable. I know someone believes in me.
Few people understand what it is like to run a business. It is very hard to talk about the stress and anxiety, or indeed about the excitement, when no one really understands. Running a business can be a very lonely place.
The Jennings Business Mentors do understand all of this because we all run our own businesses too. We offer you our business experience. We will listen to you, and by asking powerful questions we can help you to see things differently.

How to Pick the Right Auto Body Shop
It's difficult enough to have a car accident, talking with your car insurance provider and stressing about getting around. The last thing you need is to an auto body shop that gives you the runaround. As with any business, auto body shops offer varying levels of quality, so spare yourself the hassle by doing your homework before picking one.
Repairs from a vehicular accident often cost thousands of dollars, and using an auto body shop with good reviews is smart. If your insurance covers most of the repair costs, you may tend to choose the authorized repair facility nearest you, but not so fast.
Though vehicle insurer will strike off a facility when there are complaints against it, their list hardly makes for a recommendation. Request instead for the info for many body shops from your insurance provider and then ask people for comments about any of the shops they may have used in the past. Do an Internet search on all of those shops, paying attention to customer reviews.
When you get to the shop to ask for your estimate, look around you and try to know more about the business. You should see their license hung on a wall, but if you don't, politely request to see it. Ask them how long the shop has been operating and whether they have always been located in that particular spot. The answer you get will tell you much about the shop's stability.
Know how long the manager has been an employee of the company and whether he possesses skills in auto body repair as well. A background in repair may not be necessary to run a great business, but this knowledge will certainly help ensure good work.
Another consideration you should make is the size of the staff. More people means a greater overhead. Overhead costs can also vary significantly even within the same town or city, depending on location. In some cases, shops with larger overheads will take shortcuts just to increase their profits. Or they may charge for a lot of services without actually completing them. Of course, this is not true in all cases, and that is why you have to do some research before choosing an auto body shop.
Finally, once you have received your estimate, inquire about the warranty they provide. This must be given to you in written form and effective for a year, both for parts and workmanship. The ideal coverage for the body work is two years and, for the paint, three years. Beware of a "lifetime warranty," however, as this is both unrealistic and highly restrictive.

Although it has been said that travel broadens the mind, travel may also shrink the body. Jet lag, sleep deprivation, minor intestinal upsets due to foreign water and unfamiliar foods, necessity to walk miles inside airport terminals, as well as the unavoidable need to use one's feet rather than a car to sightsee at a museum or church, may allow you to return home thinner than when you left.
Weight loss can begin even before the trip begins.
Outrageous prices for junk food at airport newsstands and kiosks may decrease the temptation to snack while waiting to depart and once on the plane, eagerness to eat a meal (served if the flight is 3 or more hours) is tempered by its resemblance to high school cafeteria lunches. The timing of the meals on the plane also helps you resist consuming them. Typically flights that go cross country or across the ocean depart late in the evening. 'Supper' may be offered at 11 pm or midnight when the traveler's tummy is ready for bed. Skipping that meal as well as the frozen bagel and plastic fruit served for breakfast the next morning at 3 am (well, it is morning isn't it?) will further diminish your calorie intake.
Once at your destination, you should continue to lose weight if the following conditions exist:
1. Alien food…If restaurant specialties feature grilled octopus, marinated baby eels (they do indeed look like eels) or still living shrimp, dinner might consist of bread and water, or a protein bar back in your room.
2. Not understanding the language on the menu. Ordering from a menu written in an incomprehensible language, may present you with dishes that contain ingredients you hate or don't recognize. (Years ago on a trip to Budapest for a meeting, my husband and I found that we had ordered , without knowing it, dishes made mainly of cabbage, including dessert of a cabbage strudel).
Caveat: If the destination city is known for steak smothered in cheese sauce, chowder made with heavy cream, fried clams with greasy French fries and mayonnaise loaded coleslaw or half a pig's worth of barbecued ribs, weight can be accumulated as fast as used napkins at the barbecue. The frequent flyer diet works best when the foods at the destination are more or less bizarre, or inedible.
3. Smaller portion sizes. The size of meals served outside the US are almost always smaller than those offered in the states. Pasta in a restaurant in Florence may come on a salad size dish rather than on a platter large enough to hold a turkey, and almost nowhere will you be given 16 oz. steaks or half a chicken. Desserts tend to be tiny compared with our outsized offerings, and more likely to be a fruit and pastry combination, rather than a densely rich production of egg yolks, heavy cream and chocolate. Sandwich fillings are sparse and do not require a veritable unhinging of the jaw in order to bite into them.
4. Contaminated food and/or water. Sometime simply drinking the water may produce digestive discomfort ,and although most travelers avoid eating food that obviously does not meet US standards for hygienic preparation, even cautious eating may not prevent picking up a food born organism. Travelers may lose considerable amounts of weight if the problems persist, although often the weight lost is, alas , from muscle as well as from fat.
5. Increased exercise. Tour buses don't pull up to the front door of a museum or church or monument; you often have to hike quite a distance from where the bus parks. Moreover, you have to walk to see. How else can you look at art, botanical gardens and zoos, explore historical buildings ( think of the Tower of London) or marvel at the natural wonders of a national park ? Some destination cities are so hilly ( think San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, Sydney) that your legs will feel as if they are on an elliptical trainer at the gym. And shopping requires walking ; open air markets, for example, may cover blocks and walking is the only way to find something to buy.
6. Jet Lag. Even a three hour time difference, for example between coasts in the US, can disrupt normal eating schedules. Your hunger will be at odds with the meal schedules of your destination: if you are in Europe, your body may want dinner when everyone is going to sleep and the restaurants are closed. Conversely, no matter how flaky the croissants served at a Parisian breakfast, if you are overcome with sleepiness at 8 am because it is 2 am back home, you may prefer to sleep through the first meal of the day. Substantial time differences of 6 or more hours, can make eating seem physically impossible. When you desperately want to sleep, you simply cannot bring yourself to put any food in your mouth.
If your destination is a cruise or beach resort where you can lie on a chaise and be brought drinks with umbrellas stuck in a piece of pineapple, the frequent flyer diet will not work. Otherwise you may find upon your return, that there is less of you than when you started.

Homeowners John Pasquin and JoBeth Williams.
Architect Gerard R. Colcord designed the entry's stair railing. A tile at the foot of the stairs bears his signature.
In the kitchen an 18th-century Portuguese tile mural was installed above the range. Creamy yellow marble countertops, blue-painted cabinets, and a terra-cotta tile floor peppered with blue diamond-shaped tiles define the space.
In the adjoining breakfast room, a hand-painted mural by Jean Horihata was inspired by murals in the Italian Villa of Livia at Prima Porta, near Rome.
Outdoors, John and JoBeth worked with landscape designer Art Luna.
Must start looking for some Christmas inspiration for you. Have a lovely day, and see you tomorrow!

|Sighting Report
|Occurred : 1/25/2007 22:55 (Entered as : 01/25/07 22:55)
Reported: 1/25/2007 8:13:27 PM 20:13
Posted: 2/1/2007
Location: Chesnee, SC
Shape: Unknown
Duration:4 minutes
|UFO sighted on 1/25/07
I heard of sightings that occurred on the night of 1/24/07 in the general area of SC and NC. At 10:55pm on 1/25/07 I went to take my dogs outside before bed and noticed a bright light (not flashing) and relatively close to the ground staying in one location.
My first thought was that it was a plane, but that quickly faded the more I looked at it. It was not moving, just sitting still in the air. I could see traces of light or smoke (looked kind of like what sparklers do when you light them and swing them around) and it was a bluish color. I watched the object for the entire period. It all of a sudden went slowly higher and the light became a small dot in the sky, and then proceeded to fly out of sight.
I know that it was indeed not a plane because I have a hot tub outside and have seen many planes fly over at night, and this was totally different. There were no flashing lights on this object at all and a plane can't sit still in the air and then go higher at the same location, and then take off (atleast not to my knowledge).

|CCH Pounder (photo by Geneva Morgan)
A: "NCIS: New Orleans" is definitely happening. In fact, it premieres on CBS Sept. 23 at 9/8c, right after the season 12 premiere of "NCIS." The crime-procedural drama stars Scott Bakula, CCH Pounder, Lucas Black, Zoe McLellan, Rob Kerkovich and Paige Turco.
As the title would suggest, the series is set and filmed in the Big Easy, and while it follows the "NCIS" formula, the show definitely has a feel all its own. Series star CCH Pounder told me recently: "The pacing is definitely different. It's a different kind of temperature and atmosphere, certainly, but also, the pace of it is not as uptight as it would be in, say, Washington. It covers a wide swath of the Southern belt from New Orleans up through Alabama. The framework is the same, but the people and the content will be quite different."
But just because the people are different, it doesn't mean that familiar faces won't be showing up now and again. CCH explained: "Everyone wants to come to New Orleans. Joe Spano was here last week; Meredith Eaton was here; Michael Weatherly is here now. So the food and the 'laissez les bons temps rouler' ('let the good times roll') attitude have enticed a lot of them to come on down."
Q: Now that Jennifer Esposito has reappeared on "Taxi Brooklyn," why did she ever leave "Blue Bloods"? I thought that it was reported she was ill? — Tony via email
A: Back in 2012, Jennifer collapsed on the "Blue Bloods" set due to complications from celiac disease and missed a week of work. Her doctor advised her that she needed to cut back her work schedule. Rather than work around her schedule, CBS put her on an unpaid leave of absence (and even implied that her collapse was a stunt to get a raise), and refused to let her obtain limited work in the meantime. When her contract with the show expired, she was able to look for work elsewhere.
Jennifer currently is co-starring in the action-drama "Taxi Brooklyn," which is based on Luc Besson's feature film called "Taxi." Luc is best known for "Leon: The Professional," the "Taken" films, the "Transporter" series, "The Fifth Element" and much, much more. "Taxi Brooklyn" wrapped its first season on NBC Sept. 10; there is no word as of this writing of a second season.
Q: I love Bill Cosby's comedy. Does he have plans to return to TV? — Robert M., via email
A: NBC announced at the Television Critics Association tour this summer that it was developing a comedy for Bill Cosby, which could premiere as early as summer 2015. The series is described as a "multi-camera, classic extended-family sitcom," with Bill as the patriarch.
A: Breeana's new book, which is slated to be released in late September or early October, is called "Rumplestiltskin's Daughter." As of now, it is planned to be a stand-alone book, not a series, but as Breeana told me, you never know.
"So far as I know it's a single story. You know, my brain does strange things. I thought 'Dusk Gate' was done after 'Blooms of Consequence,' so I don't know for sure. But probably if it did turn into a series, it would branch off from a few different characters. Like maybe a same world and same storyline, but focus on different people."
So, what is her new book about? Breeana summed it up for me: "The story is basically a what-if retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin tale. The idea behind it is that tales are told by the most powerful, so the stories that get passed down are from one point of view. And so 'Rumpelstiltskin's Daughter' is, what if Rumpelstiltskin isn't a bad guy after all? In the real story, the heroes are not nice people. A king and queen get married because he forces her to spin gold for him, and yet Rumpelstiltskin is portrayed as the bad guy. So, my story is more an examination of that."
Q: When will "Gone Girl" be released at the theater? Seems like I've been waiting forever! — Deanna R., via email
A: The long-awaited Ben Affleck-starring thriller — which is based on the best-selling novel by Gillian Flynn, who also wrote the movie's screenplay — will be in theaters on Oct. 3. Save me a seat and some popcorn, because you can bet I'll be there!
A: Alexander Ludwig, who played newbie Navy SEAL Shane Patton, is perhaps best known for playing Cato, the career tribute from District 2 in "The Hunger Games." He'll also play Bjorn (Ironside) Lothbrok — Ragnar and Lagertha's now-grown son — in the upcoming season of the History channel's "Vikings," which likely will air in spring 2015.
Q: I can't get enough "Outlander"! Please tell me it will be back for another season. — Eleanor W., The Villages, Fla.
A: I am thrilled to tell you that after its record-shattering opening weekend, Starz did indeed renew the time-traveling/fantasy/historical-drama/romance series for a second season. Early reports say that the second season will be at least 13 episodes (but I'm thinking it'll end up being at least 16, like this season), and it will be based on Diana Gabaldon's second book in the "Outlander" series, "Dragonfly in Amber."
Q: Like the rest of the world, I was shocked and heartbroken to hear about Robin Williams' suicide. I know he was working on some movies before his death. Will any be released posthumously? — Kelli F., via email
A: The consummate funnyman with a heart as big as his funny bone left this world way too soon, as I'm sure we all can agree. He did leave behind four movies that have yet to be released: "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb," "Merry Friggin' Christmas," "Boulevard" and "Absolutely Anything."

Just Survive
Just Survive, formerly known as H1Z1 and H1Z1: Just Survive, began life as a zombie survival MMO set in a post-apocalyptic world where thousands of players must strategically align with friends and against enemies in order to survive the worldwide infection. Enter a world overrun by zombies and fellow survivors since the outbreak. This is
the Apocalypse! Fight for your life against the infected and the brutality of others as you attempt to live and see another day. Every moment is borrowed time with one question to answer: Will you survive?
Just Survive Key Features
Intelligent Undead – Just Survive's zombies are equipped with emergent AI making each encounter as unpredictable as the last. The undead hunger!
Base Building – Build yourself a defensible base to protect yourself from the elements, your enemies, and of course the undead. Group up with friends to create heavily fortified structures and pool your resources. Scout locations carefully; every position has advantages and disadvantages.
Weapons – Scavenge the wasteland to equip yourself with axes, bows, guns, explosives and more to help you survive.
Vehicles – Sometimes you'll find a car, truck, ATV, or even a police cruiser that is still salvageable. These may take a lot to repair and maintain, but they offer multi-passenger transportation, the ability to efficiently scan a larger area, as well as an additional way to mow down opponents, be they undead… or otherwise.
Crafting – Just about everything that can be scavenged can also be used to make something useful. Make tools, weapons, traps, water collectors, explosives, shelters, and so much more!

Japan Airlines Introduces In-Flight KFC Meals
Instead of eating fast food at the airport before boarding, this collaboration will allow passengers to sample a two-piece chicken meal in the air.
Japan Airlines is introducing KFC in-flight meals onboard select international flights from December 1st to February 28th. KFC is a very popular chain in Japan, especially during the Christmas season, with many reserving buckets of chicken to eat on Christmas Day a month in advance.
Customers traveling in Premium Economy and Economy Class from Narita to New York, Boston, Chicago, L.A., San Diego, London, Paris, and Frankfurt, will be served KFC's Original Recipe two-piece chicken meal. This includes one drumstick, one boneless chicken breast fillet, a piece of flat bread made especially for 'Air Kentucky,' a cup of coleslaw, and lettuce leaves. Customers can eat the pieces separately or put them together in a sandwich topped off with mayonnaise.

These odd-looking hats, made by photographer and designer Enrique Muda Bull from old basketballs and soccer balls, are probably not the most winsome—or aromatic—of toppers. Then again, if you're a big sports fan, you'd wear anything to support your team, even if it means jettisoning your dignity and/or sense of smell.
Retired basketballs and soccer balls in hand, Bull cut along their original seams to create an opening for the would-be wearer's head. "The shape of the hats follows the original paterns of the balls," Bull notes on his website. "Very useful for real supporters."
Bull cuts along the seams of old basketballs and soccer balls to create an opening for the wearer's head.
No need to head (geddit?) to a boutique to get one of these bad boys, however. Instead, search your closet or local thrift store for a well-loved ball that's past its prime, then grab a utility knife and go to town. (If you have a small head or want to make one for a kid, simply use a child-sized ball.) Just be prepared for people who'll want to slap your head and crack jokes about "drop-kicking" or "slam-dunking."
The things we do for love…

Catherine + Steve | Washington DC Christmas Tree Farm Engagement Photography
Over the weekend I got to hang with my first couple of 2017 at Krop's Crops, a Christmas Tree Farm in Great Falls, Virginia! Catherine + Steve are having a small, intimate wedding in Baltimore where they live at Artifact Coffee. Their ceremony will take placate St. Thomas Aquinas church in Hampden and then we'll hang out around Clipper Mill in Woodberry for pictures. I absolutely love the idea of tiny weddings, especially when they take place in spaces that are meaningful to the couple. I am so honored that Catherine + Steve have chosen me to document their love story, and I am so excited that they are going to be kicking off the 2017 wedding season for me! // Oh. And how awesome is their dog?

Our Story
The state of Nebraska is located in the Great Plains region of the Midwestern United States. The capital of the state is the city of Lincoln, however the largest city is Omaha which is located right on the Missouri River. Many historical trails cross the state, however it was the California Gold Rush that initially brought a large amount of people here, and Nebraska eventually became a state in 1867. Nebraska has large temperature variations between its summers and winters along with violent thunderstorms and tornadoes are frequent in the area. Two different climate zones are prevalent in the state with the eastern half of the state experiencing a humid continental climate and the western half experiencing a semi-arid climate.
Much of the state consists of treeless prairie land which is used for cattle grazing and is also a major source of beef and pork production along with corn and soybeans. The state is largely rural is the 8th ranked least densely populated state in the country with only 1.84 million people residing in the state. Nebraska consists of 77,358 square miles of land area. Nebraska consists of the largest group of German-Americans as well as the largest population of Czech-Americans per head.
The major industries in the state are primarily farming (wheat, soybeans, corn, sorghum), meat packing, grain processing, and the Air Force Strategic Air Command. Nebraska's major bodies of water are the Missouri River, Platte River, Republican River, Niobrara River, Lewis and Clark Lake, Lake C.W. McConaughty, and Harlan County Lake. The highest point of elevation in the state is Panorama point which sits 5,426 feet above sea level. The state bird is the Western Meadowlark, the state fish is the Channel Catfish, the state flower is the Goldenrod, the state tree is the Cottonwood Tree and the state grass is Little Bluestem. Nebraska is one of the nations top agricultural points in the country and will continue to be due to the farming type landscape that covers most of the state.
Nebraska is in Tornado Alley; thunderstorms are common in the spring and summer months
Boot Hill, or Boothill, is the name for any number of cemeteries, chiefly in the American West. During the 19th century it was a common name for the burial grounds of gunfighters, or those who "died with their boots on".
Fred, who lived near Holdrege, was a known philanderer, much to his long-suffering wife's dismay. Having tired of his antics, Fred's wife killed him and cut off most of his face, before dumping him down a well. A local eating and drinking establishment was erected on the site of the abandoned well and it is now believed that Fred haunts the place, scaring employees and patrons alike

Mark Langan is an artist who uses corrugated cardboard for his pieces of art, and only corrugated cardboard. Using the textures of the sides, front and back, he created some phenomenal pieces that are extremely detailed, and really crisply done to.
The range of textures he has managed to procure from corrugated card is commendable, and each piece is dynamic and interesting. Due to the way the cardboard acts almost as a relief, there is great depth in the work and the added shadows also make the images much more interesting!

Get Out!
The days in Bombay have been wet and gloomy even though the Monsoons haven't hit full swing yet. Don't get me wrong, I love the rains. Especially when I can just sit by the window and watch it paint everything green around me. But it would be a nice break to see umbrellas of a different kind.
So what better a time to take a break than just after a long vacation! Yes, I am shamelessly going off on another holiday. This time to Mauritius, a place that has been considered as a destination many a times but never quite worked out. However, an impromptu trip over the coming weekend proposes to be just the perfect opportunity.
While I am gone here is something to inspire you to take a break yourself...

Why some games shoot up and others do not get traction depends both on marketing and the know-how of game development.
For Cracow-based EVERYDAYiPLAY the success came quickly for its first game Vikings Gone Wild (hat tip to Richard Lucas). So I caught up with Vincent Vergonjeanne, the CEO and founder of EVERYDAYiPLAY to understand what is behind the up-and-coming success story.
A few words about the game: Vikings Gone Wild is a multi-player fighting and building game that puts the player in a position of a chief of the village to defend it from enemies, and to attack other villages. Players can join guilds to fight other guilds. The Viking characters are hilarious, but I did not play the game itself. It is available on Facebook and it will be released on iPad in 3 weeks and on Android devices in December 2013.
What defines the startup success is a mixture of experience, art of game design and clever distribution strategy. Prior to moving to Cracow to develop Vikings Gone Wild, Vergonjeanne has been running his previous social gaming company Kobojo in France that in 2011 raised 5,3 million Euro in Series A funding.
In December 2012 Vergonjeanne left Kobojo, moved to Cracow, Poland and founded EVERYDAYiPLAY set to develop social games. To create Vikings Gone Wild he followed his main principle of selecting a small team of exceptionally talented game designers and developers. By now there are 11 people in the team, all based in Cracow.
The second principle was to remain independent from external investors, and avoid a lock-in with a publisher if possible. So in July 2013 the company signed a partnership deal with Facebook which has featured the game briefly in July, and followed with a larger feature in the middle of October this year, driving traffic to 800,000 users.
Final principle was introduction of the social features that kept user engagement at the high level, and those social features within the game include formation of unions (guilds) amongst others.
Going forward the company, conveniently cash-generating that will keep it independent from the external investors, plans to build on the success of the Vikings taking it to other platforms including consoles.
This, is one more success story to add to our modest CEE collection, and we will certainly look out for more teams (and time to write the stories) that have been successful within and outside Eastern Europe.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my pictures. I focus mainly in nature and rural photography. Living on a farm enables me to capture the beauty of nature. I try to capture the serenity of rural America. The beauty of a country sunset, rolling hills that never seem to end, tree lined country roads, an amazing view of a star covered sky without the distraction of city lights, breath taking sunrises, wildlife in it's natural environment, amber grass, snow, rain, sun, and fog all serve to highlight my photographs. All of my photographs are a celebration of nature.I hope you enjoy them...please feel free to e-mail me. Thanks again for taking the time to look.

Gold sandals and toe stalls, Egyptian, Tomb of the Three Foreign Wives of Thutmose III, Thebes New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, ca. 1479–1425 B.C. Photo: Adel Gorgy
Not every culture cherished paintings or fancy furniture. Not every culture created books. Not every culture wanted much in the way of clothing. But every culture since the beginning of history has found a use for jewelry, posits Melanie Holcomb, curator at The Met's department of Medieval Art and The Cloisters and organizer of "Jewelry: The Body Transformed," a stunning, revealing and dazzling exhibition. Rituals of birth, marriage and death, declarations of deep inner beliefs and statements about social and political status all find expression in jewelry. According to Holcomb, "To fully understand the power of jewelry, it is not enough to look at it as miniature sculpture." Instead, she's organized an exhibition culled from the Met's encyclopedic holdings that focuses on jewelry's interaction with and effects on the body and spirit.
With some 230 glittering works on view, the show sparkles, but it also draws viewers into a contemplative conversation about what we, as humans, say about who we are through what we wear. It's been this way for millennia. Few of us today need to glance beyond our own selves to find some piece of adornment meant to express personality, remember someone dear, tell time, gather hair, or just beautify. "Jewelry is one of the oldest modes of creative expression — predating even cave painting by tens of thousands of years—and the urge to adorn ourselves is now nearly universal," said Max Hollein, director of The Met.
Beginning in a darkened gallery filled with clear cases presenting spotlighted, precious objects, the opening vision is both jaw-dropping and subtle. In a hurry to gaze at so much opulence, viewers might miss that the see-through cases, as they stand before them, line up so that foot ornaments, like spectacular hammered gold sandals and toe covers, then lead to waist ornaments, chest and neck pieces, and finally crowns. They reach from ancient Egyptian, to Bronze-age Celtic, to China's Tang dynasty, to the Chimú people of Peru, to the Dan peoples of the Côte d'Ivoire, to William Harper's intriguing, painterly 1994 "Brooch: Homage to Cy Twombly and Joseph Cornell" and beyond. Thanks to the Met's extensive collection and Holcomb's curatorial creativity, we can conjure, with our mind's eye, a figure decked out in a whole world's worth of jewelry.
Such visual wizardry reminds us to pay attention to sight lines, those often missed but evocative placements curators and designers work so hard to engineer, hoping to spark viewers' imaginations. Here, they're as brilliant as some of the gems on display. The gold and emerald Crown of the Andes, placed at eye-level in a glass window, overlooks a 12th century sculpted Indian dancer. Each echoes the other's sensual lines and curves.
Distinct sections present jewelry that ruminates on the Divine Body, the Regal Body, the Transcendent Body, the Alluring Body and the Resplendent Body. They start with Mesopotamian funerary beads from about 2500 BC and take the viewer across time and around the world. We learn that ancient cultures summoned the divine by rattling "noisy" jewelry. In traditional Japanese women's wear, only the hair was ornamented, with exquisite combs and pins. Medieval rulers announced their power and wealth through crowns, chains and rings. (It should never be hard to spot the king, Holcomb points out in the wall texts.) Swords and hilts spoke of masculinity. Lustrous pearls draw attention to skin tones. A carefully placed brooch or pendant can lead the eye artfully to the décolletage. Masks transform wearers, just as jewels seem to animate sculptures.
Allure and seduction can be put on or taken off with the right kinds of jewelry, and in contemporary culture, jewelry can be used in traditional ways or to make challenging statements. The exhibition concludes with contemporary pieces that speak directly to this moment.
Rich or poor, regardless of gender, decked in gold and platinum or clay beads and feathers, all people have found ways to express notions of wealth, power, spirituality, pride and beauty through adornments of the face, neck, wrists, ears, ankles and more. From dazzling crowns to humble combs, as the show points out, it's all how you wear it.

Residents fed up with a strip club on the border of Allentown and Bethlehem are gathering signatures to shutter the business.
But a manager at Scoobies Gentlemans Club in Allentown says no one has brought these complaints directly to the club. She says the club strives to be a good neighbor to distance itself from previous owners' bad reputations.
Julisa Bonilla, 20, of Bethlehem, has spearheaded the petition effort alongside her brother Basilio Bonilla Jr., 22, a member of the Bethlehem Area School Board. The two live only blocks from the strip club, which has been under new ownership since August.
Julisa Bonilla said she's had problems for years with the club — which has undergone several changes in management. She said fights outside the club, broken bottles and rowdy behavior are just some of her complaints.
But the Jan. 26 murder of 21-year-old Tyree Wimberly, a former classmate and co-worker of Julisa Bonilla, have since stirred her into action. The online petition had close to 500 signatures as of Friday.
"Tyree was a great person. He was always smiling, always happy," she said. "He was friends with everybody. And that's what scared me. If this could happen to him, it could've happened to anybody. That could have been me."
Wimberly was shot in the 2200 block of West Broad Street in Bethlehem, authorities say. He managed to make his way toward Scoobies Gentlemans Club, 2327 Hanover Ave., before collapsing.
Melissa Smith, the manager of the club, said a security officer spotted Wimberly on the ground and called 911.
Julisa Bonilla said Wimberly's family believes he was approached by a man wanting to sell him drugs and was shot after he refused. Bethlehem police have not released any details on the shooting. There have been no arrests in the homicide, which remains under investigation.
While Julisa Bonilla cites this incident as the final and most egregious problem with the club, Smith insists it has nothing to do with the establishment.
"At the end of the day, we're sorry that the incident happened," Smith said. "We've spoken to the family. But it didn't have anything to do with the gentlemen's club. The boy ... wasn't even a patron at our establishment and (the shooting) didn't even happen outside of our establishment."
Smith said the club is cooperating with the murder investigation and sympathizes with Wimberly's loved ones. Armed security guards at the club are ordered to walk around the premises to make sure customers are not causing any trouble, Smith said. It was during one of those patrols that a security guard spotted Wimberly.
"The boy, God rest his soul, if he'd collapsed in front of their houses — would we need to start a petition? To shut down their house?" Smith said. "I just feel like everyone is trying to gang up on our establishment. I'm sorry that the previous owner caused a ruckus. But (residents) are not giving us a chance. (The previous owner) is something we had no control over."
Julisa Bonilla said she is determined to clean up her neighborhood and believes the club is doing the opposite.
"This will be the last time," she said of Wimberly. "I'm not going to let it happen to someone else."
Scoobies Gentlemans Club does not have a liquor license but allows patrons to bring their own alcohol inside. This small detail means that complaints by residents can't be handled the typical way.
An establishment cannot be considered a nuisance under state nuisance bar laws without a liquor license, according to Pennsylvania State Police Maj. John Lutz, director of the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement.
"There's very little that can be done there from our perspective," Lutz said. "It comes down to whether (neighbors) could show that there's a constant problem with fights or other criminal activities and then turn to their local police or district attorney's office."
Allentown police Capt. George Medero said police work to keep pressure on bars or establishments that continually have problems with patrons.
"Our goal is to clean it up rather than shut it down," Medero said. "Based on what transpired at (Scoobies), we are looking into complaints from residents."
The Lehigh County District Attorney's Office had no comment about efforts to shutter the club.
Allentown spokesman Mike Moore said the city is aware of the petition, but noted that the building housing Scoobies is zoned for its current use. The official comment from the city was simple.
"We will be following the law," Moore said.
City Council President Julio Guridy said he'd be interested in learning more about the situation, but said he can't support closing down a city business unless it's clear the business has broken the law.
"I want to allow police to do their investigations first," Guridy said. "If they're not violating any laws, it'd be hard to support any kind of punishment. I need to find out more about what's going on. If neighbors see something, they need to call police."
Smith said no one has contacted the club about specific complaints.
"We will listen," Smith said. "There is a right and wrong way to go about things. The wrong way is to assume and try to get a place shut down. The right way is to come to us and speak to us as an adult."
Basilio Bonilla said the petition effort has already been more successful than expected. He said they will try to get about 1,000 signatures now that they passed an original goal of 250.
"I think it will be an uphill battle," he said of their efforts to change or shutter the club. "It won't be an easy win. I hope (if we get 1,000 signatures) it will demonstrate to owners of the establishment and officials just how badly something needs to be done."
Julisa Bonilla said she's been told it could be foolish putting her name out there with a petition like this, but she said she won't be deterred.
"I'm not going to live in fear another day because that's not going to change the community," she said. "I'm taking this one step at a time and the first step is to close this down."

If you are involved in coaching youth soccer, there are a couple of things that you should try to focus on the most if you aspire to be successful. Firstly you should have a plan for every soccer training session and secondly you should be focusing on making training sessions as much fun as possible for everyone involved. I don't just mean the kids. Soccer coaches should also find as much enjoyment as possible when leading the sessions.
Young children need a disciplined environment to learn effectively but they also need that environment to be both fun and encouraging. The important thing to remember is that a successful youth soccer coach spends time to plan training sessions carefully. Having a plan that lays out the fundamentals that will enable your team to achieve success now and in the future will set you on the right road towards becoming a successful soccer coach. There is nothing worse than being unprepared for a coaching session. It doesn't matter if you are coaching the U5's or an U17 team, as a coach, you need to be prepared for the session.
When planning training sessions for your players you will need take into account their ages and skill levels. If the children you are coaching are especially young, the sessions that you plan need to be highly focused on ensuring they gain the most fun and enjoyment out of the experience. The majority of soccer coaching sessions tend to follow a similar patter that covers all of the basics.
Soccer training sessions will usually start with a warm up. This will help raise the children's heart rate and stretch their muscles. This can be followed by a demonstration of a particular skill or technique that the coach would like them to learn. The session will then move on to a period of fun exercises that encourage the children to practice the skill or technique that they have just learn t. A small-sided soccer game in which the children are able to express themselves and enjoy without any intervention from coaches will most often end the training session.
Successful youth soccer coaching requires that you understand the importance of the fun element in the children's training sessions. Try to maintain a relaxed atmosphere that allows the children to express themselves and just play soccer. Although an element of discipline is of course important with ground rules that everyone understands you don't want come across in the style of a P.E teacher.
A successful youth soccer coach always treats everyone of his players with the maximum respect, listening to the children's views and ideas when they express them. Coaching youth soccer is about letting the children develop their technique and individual playing styles in a fun, relaxed environment lead by a soccer coach who understands their needs.

Welcome to Birdquest
Saturday 8th November - Wednesday 26th November 2014
Hannu Jännes
The wonderful winter wetlands and woodlands of China always turn up lots of great birds, and, as always, our journey through this fascinating and rapidly modernizing country proved to be a highly successful one. The more spectacular species recorded were Oriental Stork, Black-faced Spoonbill, Swan and Lesser White-fronted Geese (plus five other species of geese), the rapidly declining Baer's Pochard, Mandarin Duck ('real' ones!), Falcated Duck, Baikal Teal , the beautiful Scaly-sided Merganser, Pied Falconet, Silver Pheasant, White-necklaced Partridge, the critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper, six species of cranes (including Black-necked, Hooded, White-naped, Red-crowned and Siberian), Saunders's, Black-tailed, Mongolian, Siberian and Vega Gulls, Amur Falcon, Lesser Coucal, Siberian Accentor, Mugimaki Flycatcher, Slaty-backed and White-crowned Forktails, Collared Finchbill, Chestnut Bulbul, Eye-browed, Pale, Naumann's, Dusky, White's and Chinese Thrushes, and Chinese Blackbird, Chinese Hill Warbler, Marsh Grassbird, Black-streaked and Grey-sided Scimitar Babblers, Ashy-throated, Vinous-throated and Reed Parrotbills, Chinese Babax, Père David's, Masked, White-browed and Elliot's Laughingthrushes, Chinese Hwamei, Spectacled, Rusty-capped and Grey-hooded Fulvettas, White-collared Yuhina, Yellow-bellied Tit, Chinese Nuthatch, Chinese Penduline Tit, Fork-tailed Sunbird, Chinese Grey Shrike, Asian Azure-winged Magpie, Red-billed Starling, Black-headed Greenfinch, Yellow-billed Grosbeak, and no fewer than twelve species of buntings. However, one should remember that the tour is not only an opportunity to see such desirable rare species, but also provides the chance to see great concentrations of many of them in evocative settings. Who could ever forget the sight of tens of the rare Siberian Cranes with smaller numbers of Hooded Cranes, Swan Geese and many other species at a wetland in Poyang, the large mixed flock of various ducks at the fish-pond in Yangchen, or the massive number of wildfowl at Caohai in a remote corner of Guizhou province?
The infrastructure, compared with many other parts of China, is surprisingly good, with mostly excellent road conditions and mostly good quality accommodation throughout the tour. Ten years ago, when checking into a hotel in China, the first question used to be 'do they provide hot water, and for how long?'. Now the question is: 'do they have WiFi, and what is the password?' This is really quite an easy tour, with not too much physical effort for anyone interested in impressive numbers of some of the most magnificent, often rare birds, that still survive on our crowded planet.

Any individual may join ALTA by completing a new application and paying the current annual membership fee of $10. The membership form is only completed by new members who have not previously received an ALTA number.
