Have you heard the latest?
From the latest edition of Institution Watch:
NOVA SCOTIAThere's also a complete look at how other provinces are doing. I can tell you that British Columbia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland are leading the way.
More than a year ago (November 2006) the Nova Scotia government announced that it would be renovating an empty building to create an institution to house 24 people. The news release estimated the cost to be $3 million with annual operating costs also estimated to be $3 million. On December 19, 2007 the tender for construction was awarded at a cost of $4,180,000. The costs for design work are unknown.
Nova Scotia? As you can see, we're not fairing too well. But check it out for yourself.
So what will it take to make a difference here? Who, if not us, is going to make our government move forward on this? That's forward in the right direction. As opposed to what they apparently think is the right direction.
What are your thoughts and ideas?
Tick tock. Tick tock.

Some handy info
Veterinary admissions wards are centrally heated day and night. All pets receive personal nursing care. You are very welcome to visit your pet and discuss progress as often as you wish and we will make every effort to make your pet's stay as comfortable as possible. We understand how worrying it is to leave your pet, so do ask any questions as they arise and let us know of your pet's likes and dislikes.
Our number one goal is to make sure that your pet is as comfortable as possible during their stay at the surgery. We are very happy for you to visit your pets if they are staying at the surgery and welcome phone calls and visits to discuss their progress.
Veterinary operations are performed under sterile conditions in theatre, with full monitoring during the op and recovery period. Modern anaesthetics are very safe, but we offer blood tests before surgery to detect any problems that may increase the anaesthetic risk.
Your hospitalised pet will not be 'shoved in a cage overnight and not seen until the morning', but will receive round-the-clock nursing according to his/her needs.

Concert Reviews
Radio Hour
Ian Anderson - Jethro Tull
Beacon Theater, NY, NY
Ian Anderson
Jethro Tull 50th Anniversary Tour
Beacon Theater
New York, NY, September 11 2018
Article By Dennis Morgillo
Photos By Rebecca Wolf
It's been 50 years gone since Jethro Tull first formed in England. "This Was" released in 1968, kicked off a musical journey that featured more than 20 albums and even more musicians than that. What started out as pure British blues rock outfit, later experimented with Folk, Olde English and eventually Progressive Rock.
It has been an amazing career, and I consider Jethro Tull one of the greatest, most original and influential bands of all time.
Jethro Tull released 10 iconic albums between 1968 & 1978. "This Was", "Stand Up", "Benefit", "Aqualung", "Thick as a Brick", "A Passion Play", "War Child", "Minstrel in the Gallery", "Too Old to Rock n Roll" and "Songs From the Wood". Many consider "Aqualung" to be one of the greatest albums ever recorded and the song is always at the top of the greatest songs list. Everyone knows that riff!
As a small child, I was afraid of Jethro Tull. My older siblings had posters on their walls of these long haired, wild eyed, crazy Brits. I grew to love the band, I have seen them in concert quite a few times, and actually got to interview Ian Anderson for this tour.
The 50th Anniversary tour took us on a beautiful musical and multimedia journey of the band's history. The current band consists of Ian Anderson and a tight group of talented musicians. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the video interviews and messages of former band mates and celebrity fans. Messages came from "Jeffrey Hammond", "Slash" and "Tony Iommi" to name a few.
It was a who's who in the VIP waiting area as I was chatting with Bruce Wilis and Hank Azaria. WIllis is apparently a big fan who slipped in and out of the theater unnoticed, but seemed to enjoy the show immensely.
Ian Anderson is charming and witty, his voice is in fine form as he sings, plays his flute and roams the stage. Even doing his signature 1 leg pose with great energy and vigor.
The music was incredible of course. Some new arrangements and true to the record versions of the band's greatest songs and deep tracks. "A Song for Jeffrey", "Bouree in E Minor", "My God", "Thick as a Brick", "A Passion Play", "Too Old to Rock n Roll", and even a beautiful Christmas song in September "Ring Out the Solstice Bells".
They closed the show out with an incredible version of "Aqualung" and then for the encore it was "Locomotive Breath". Man what a great show. I thoroughly enjoyed this night of nostalgia, history and old friends. Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson and all the musicians who have shared that stage are legends. Thank You for the music and the memories.

Signs of Pregnancy
There are many signs of pregnancy, but the earliest signs of pregnancy often are the same as pre-menstrual symptoms. This can be very frustrating for couples that are trying to conceive. Pregnancy signs such as nausea and cravings generally do not develop until about the eighth week of pregnancy, long after a home pregnancy test would have yielded a positive. However, the most agonizing pregnancy period may be the two weeks following ovulation but before a predictable result can be obtained with a urine pregnancy test. This period is often when women will meticulously track their symptoms and compare them with others who have already confirmed their pregnancies.
Some of the most commonly reported early signs of pregnancy are:
- Nausea with or without a headache
- Enhanced sense of smell
- Abdominal pulling or pain/cramping without bleeding
- A sensation of abdominal "fullness"
- Breast soreness, often localized to the sides
- Mood swings
- Fatigue (during the day)
- Insomnia (at night)
- Gassiness
- Vivid dreams
- A positive pregnancy test (urine or blood)
- Creamy or lotiony cervical discharge than increases in abundance late in the luteal phase
- A missed period
- Spotting
Many of these signs are also common of pre-menstrual syndrome or may result from the stress of waiting to take a pregnancy test or a hopeful delusion of experiencing symptoms that really are not present. The most obvious sign of early pregnancy, however is a positive pregnancy test. Until you have confirmed your pregnancy with an at-home or office pregnancy test, you cannot be sure.
Later signs of pregnancy are diverse and differ between women and between pregnancies. These include:
- Increased abdominal size, originally reminiscent of bloating
- Continued abdominal pain, pulling
- Spotting and/or increased discharge
- Increased weight, as much as a few pounds per week
- Absent, light, or severe morning sickness that may last all day
- Increased breast size, soreness
- Quickening (feelings of movement)
- Gassiness and/or constipation
- Increased appetite, cravings, and/or aversions
- Increased blood volume; more noticeable veins
This is not meant to be an exhaustive list; there are literally hundreds of signs and symptoms that may be reported as indicative or suggestive of a pregnancy. If you are engaged in unprotected intercourse during your fertile period and if you have missed a period, you are likely pregnant. However, this can only be confirmed with a home pregnancy test and a follow-up visit with your health care provider.

A partnership that began two years ago continues to strengthen, as two young men have become the first recipients of The Idris George Reid Scholarship to attend The Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institute (BTVI), presented by Lodge Claudius R. Walker.
Geno Mackey and Renaldo Fils were desirous of obtaining training in the technical field and have now been awarded the opportunity to pursue their dreams. Mackey is a 2016 graduate of C. R. Walker High School, who participated in the lodge's mentorship program while in high school and will be completing an Associate's of Applied Science degree in Electronics Engineering Installers & Repairers. Meanwhile, Fils will be completing a certificate program in Electrical Installation.
BTVI's President, Dr. Robert W. Robertson, thanked the lodge for providing opportunities for these young men to realize their potential and fulfill their dreams.
"Lodge Claudius R. Walker understands the necessity and almost urgency of mentoring young males in The Bahamas. Truly, they are making a difference in the lives of the recipients through the mentorship component, which is commendable," said Dr. Robertson.
Right Worshipful Master, Brother Willie Simmons, indicated that four years into the formation of the lodge, it was determined that it would be an educational and institutional one. He stated that the lodge established the mentorship component of the scholarship to help "make a dent in the community by donating to the young men who did not have."
For Mackey, receiving this scholarship is a reminder of words reiterated by his father: "Where there is unity there is victory."
"I am here today, on God's will, to reassure that this opportunity will be taken, accepted and greatly appreciated… this is just another big step taken for me that will impact my life in many ways just as joining this lodge in my C. R. Walker (High School) days and being mentored by Mr. Luther Smith," he said.
For Fils, being awarded this scholarship lightens the burden of his goal to become an established electrical engineer. "… My path to this glorified destination has in fact been made a little easier through this blessing - that is being awarded the Idris George Reid Scholarship Award here at this outstanding institute," said Fils.
Additionally, Depute Master, Brother Idris George Reid, expressed his confidence in the young men's ability to successfully complete their programs, stating that he hopes to see them grow into the leaders they have the potential to be.
This was reiterated by Right Worshipful District Grand Master, Brother Joseph Curry, whose hope is that the scholarship recipients develop the confidence they need to become law abiding productive citizens.
"The Lodge determined that it is not only important to mentor young men, but to invest in them by doing something more tangible and measurable… we will help them to be more productive, engaged and less distracted," said Brother Curry.
The lodge brethren and Dr. Robertson have committed to following the progress of the young men, assisting them to maintain at least a 2.75 GPA, as required for the scholarship. The recipients are also expected to perform a minimum of 20 hours community service per year while completing their programs at BTVI.
BTVI's Associate Vice President of Fund Development, Alicia Thompson, encouraged the recipients to embrace and make the most of this golden opportunity.
There have been three previous recipients of this scholarship - one who has already graduated and is now gainfully employed at Kerzner International.

Another crazy week in the NFL. Parody has made teams very hard to judge week to week. There are no longer any undefeated teams and it's only Week 5. However, their are two winless teams. many teams made big jumps this week, while others plummeted. We have a new No. 1 this week and they most certainly have earned the top spot:
1. San Diego Chargers
Record: 4-1
The Chargers dominated the Jets in every facet of the game, shockingly that includes the rushing game as well. Philip Rivers may be the MVP and San Diego has a win over the Seahawks under their belt this season. They needed to really embarrass the Jets to get the top spot and did they ever!
2. Seattle Seahawks
Record: 3-1
The Seahawks got a road win on Monday Night Football. The Redskins aren't great but it's still a nice win on the road, where the Seahawks do at time struggle. A win next week against Dallas could be the jolt they need to jump the Bolts.
3. Denver Broncos
Record: 3-1
Denver had the most impressive win of the top three teams this week based on competition. Still a loss to Seattle and the Chargers just rolling teams is holding them back.
4. Cincinnati Bengals
Record: 3-1
The Bengals suffered a tough loss on Sunday night to the Pats. There is no need to panic after just one loss. Nonetheless, they need to figure out a way to start winning prime time games. They continue to fall short. This game may have just been a case of wrong place, wrong time against this Patriots' team.
5. Arizona Cardinals
Record: 3-1
The Cardinals stayed put this week after suffering their first loss of the season. There is little shame in losing in Denver with Peyton Manning coming off a bye week. They really need to get there QB situation situated very quickly though. It's very impressive they are 3-1 without Carson Palmer.
6. Philadelphia Eagles
Record: 4-1
The Eagles won another shootout this week with the Rams. They are good at what they do, but they better improve on defense if they want to win a suddenly tough NFC East.
7. Dallas Cowboys
Record: 4-1
The Cowboys are one of the biggest surprises of the season so far. They have looked very good over the past few weeks. In an unexpected turn of events, they have been led by defense and a dominant rushing attack. It's still very hard to trust them.
8. Detroit Lions
Record: 3-2
We still like the Lions, but that was a really bad loss to the Bills. The absence of just about all their offensive weapons gets them a little bit of a pass. They will have to figure out ways to win without Megatron for at least a week or two. No more excuses.
9. Indianapolis Colts
Record: 3-2
The Colts beat the Ravens and jumped up the rankings. It was a really huge win for this team. They do not look great, but could make a deep playoff run in the AFC. Andrew Luck really has a lot on his shoulders though.
10. Green Bay Packers
Record: 3-2
The Packers really crushed the Vikings and look to be back on track after a slow start. Christian Ponder's incompetence really helped them. Next week they have a nice measuring stick match against a middle of the pack Dolphins team.
11. Baltimore Ravens
Record: 3-2
Baltimore lost a big game verse Indy on Sunday. That was going to be a statement win for one of those teams. Unfortunately, the Colts made the statement.
12. San Francisco 49ers
Record: 3-2
The 49ers won a tough one against the Chiefs on Sunday. They are not as good as they've been in recent years, but still a very solid team.
13. Carolina Panthers
Record: 3-2
Carolina earned a much needed win against the Bears this week. Cam Newton is beginning to look healthier and the offense is getting on track. They have major upside if they can get everything clicking. They have talent on both sides of the ball.
14. New York Giants
Record: 3-2
The Giants have run off three straight wins in impressive fashion. They keep winning and continuing to climb the rankings. They have a big test in Philly next week.
15. New England Patriots
Record: 3-2
After an awful loss to the Chiefs, the Pats came out on Sunday night and dismantled the undefeated Bengals. It is really hard to get a good read on this team. Our guess is they are a lot more like the team that beat the Bengals, than the team that got crushed by the Chiefs.
16. Houston Texans
Record: 3-2
The Texans QB will continue to hold them down. They are very competitive, however, it's hard to consider them real contenders. Their game against the Colts Thursday night could go a long way to changing that. Or solidifying it.
17. Buffalo Bills
Record: 3-2
The Bills pulled off a huge win against a short-handed Lions team. A handful of mistakes and missed field goals kept Buffalo in the game and they capitalized for the win.
18. Miami Dolphins
Record: 2-2
The bye week was not kind to the Dolphins. Miami rested up after their game in London. They have a tough game next week against the Packers.
19. Pittsburgh Steelers
Record: 3-2
The Steelers tough win against the Jags may have hurt their ranking almost as much as it helped them.
20. Chicago Bears
Record: 2-3
This is what the Bears have become over the past few seasons. Not very good. Jay Cutler turns the ball over too much and the defense is bad. They are inconsistent with flashes of greatness. We don't see that changing anytime soon.
21. Kansas City Chiefs
Record: 2-3
The Chiefs lost a tough one against the 49ers this week. They were right there and just couldn't get it done.
22. Atlanta Falcons
Record: 2-3
This team just flat out can't win on the road. They need to figure out that issue quickly.
23. Cleveland Browns
Record: 2-2
The Browns completed an epic comeback against the Titans to get back to .500. The issue is, why were they down so much to the Titans in the first place?
24. New Orleans Saints
Record: 2-3
The Saints earned a very unimpressive win against a bad Bucs team. A win is a win, but we are unimpressed.
25. Minnesota Vikings
Record: 2-3
The Vikings got trounced on Thursday night by the Packers. Things just really snowballed on them. When Ponder is your QB that will happen. Luckily for them Teddy Bridgewater should be back for next week's game.
26. St. Louis Rams
Record: 1-3
The Rams offense looked good against Philly. Then again, every offense looks good against Philly. Their defense has been nothing shy of disappointing.
27. Washington Redskins
Record: 1-4
The Redskins looked much better this week against the Seahawks. They played well and although they lost, looked like a respectable NFL team.
28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Record: 1-4
The Bucs fought hard. It still resulted in a loss at home to the reeling New Orleans Saints.
29. Tennessee Titans
Record: 1-4
The Titans almost had a huge win verse Cleveland, perhaps a season saving win. Instead they suffered an epic collapse.
30. New York Jets
Record: 1-4
Well that was embarrassing. The Jets traveled to San Diego this weekend, and what ensued was the beating of a lifetime. The Jets became the first team to be shutout this season, benched their starting QB and found out not only can he not throw footballs, he can't tell time either.
31. Jacksonville Jaguars
Record: 0-5
The Jags didn't play bad at all against the Steelers, they still couldn't get the W. They could have climbed up a spot if a few bounces went their way.
32. Oakland Raiders
Record: 0-4
The Raiders hope to build off their best week of the season. They fired Dennis Allen during the bye week.

I love those. They are so bright and happy. Ernie had his cath today and they couldn't do all they wanted because of his kidneys, but they did see that his stent is working so it looks like i'll be having quilting time. No hospital visits scheduled. I'm kind of dreading April, not in my comfort level.

Customer proximity: New Stuttgart site will pave the way for improved customer service. Economic strength: CHG-MERIDIAN sees further potential for growth in Baden-Württemberg
CHG-MERIDIAN, an international specialist in technology management and financing based in Weingarten, Germany, is set to continue its growth in 2017. With the opening of its new site in Stuttgart on March 1, 2017, the company has laid the foundations for even stronger sales activities and enhanced customer service in the southern Germany region. "Our new site is a reflection of how important the region around the state capital of Baden-Württemberg and its strong economy are to us," said Frank Kottmann, the member of the Board of Management of CHG-MERIDIAN responsible for global sales.
The Stuttgart region offers a diverse mix of public-sector institutions and companies from virtually all industries and of all sizes – providing considerable market potential for innovative technology management such as that offered by CHG-MERIDIAN. "We will increasingly be aiming for close proximity to these target groups, to allow us to offer them the highest level of quality in terms of consultancy and service," Kottmann added.
CHG-MERIDIAN already provides non-captive support to numerous small and medium-sized enterprises in Baden-Württemberg, as well as large corporations, for the management and financing of technology investments, covering everything from IT workstations and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, to industrial technologies like forklift trucks and production lines. The company has also increased its sales focus on medical technologies which require intelligent investment and customized business concepts, similar to those in IT.
The investment in a new Stuttgart site is part of a number of sales-related developments initiated recently. In addition to the establishment of new sites in Germany, changes are currently also being made to the structure of CHG-MERIDIAN's sales organization. Since the start of the year, the company has also been bringing together all of its sales activities under the remit of one Board of Management member, to enable it to better utilize its sales potential.
The new CHG-MERIDIAN branch is located in the Stuttgart Engineering Park (STEP), in the district of Vaihingen. In close proximity to the university and the Fraunhofer Institute, the business park offers premises and service concepts suitable for innovative businesses.
CHG-MERIDIAN is one of the world's leading non-captive providers of technology management in the fields of IT, industry, and healthcare.

"There is no work for farm hands like me. Even if I dare to come out to look for work, there is no guarantee I will return home alive."
More than 1,000 people have died in Andhra Pradesh in the three-week heat wave. Hundreds more have been hospitalised, stretching resources to the limit.
In one town, Kottagudem, scientists recorded a temperature of more than 52C for almost a week.
The heat wave has caused the state's worst drought for 40 years and many people have been left angry and frustrated.
Kokya Naik, the elected head of the village of Kamlapur, says it is hard enough to come out to work in the heat, but often there is also no work available.
Sixty-year-old Naik collapsed when he went out to meet officials to complain about the scarcity of water.
The ground water in the region has fallen to dangerous levels.
Penta Narsimha, chairman of the municipality in Bhongir, says: "There is no water even at a depth of 300 to 400 feet. We dug 24 bore-wells but could find water in only four of them."
People are now dependent on water brought in by tankers.
In the town of Nalgonda, some people have brought drinking water from Hyderabad, 50 kilometres (30 miles) away to sell to local people at 20 rupees (40 US cents) a litre.
"Only the rich can afford this. There is no way out for poor like us," says 55-year-old Naseema Bi in Nalgonda.
Twisted plastic
In the hospital in Ramannapet, 70 km north-east of Hyderabad, 50 people every day are admitted suffering from heat-related conditions.
"These are clearly cases of sunstroke. If we give them intravenous fluids and sponge them with cold water, we can save them. But we are running short of the fluids," a hospital official said.
Such is the intensity of the heat it has become difficult for people to walk barefoot even indoors.
"Everything in the house is becoming very hot," says MA Qayyum, an engineer in Nalgonda.
"Things made of plastic are becoming twisted. I am covering the telephone and television set in my home with a wet piece of cloth to save them from any damage," he says.
Mr Qayyum later moved his family to Hyderabad as the conditions had become unbearable.
Animal suffering
The crisis has angered and frustrated many.
The state government is giving 10,000 rupees to the families of those who have died in the heat wave.
But those who are forced to remain indoors, unable to work, are not getting anything.
The state has called on the federal government in Delhi for financial assistance.
"This is one of the worst crises facing the state," said Dr Jaiprakash Narayan, who heads the non-governmental organisation Lok Satta.
"The temperatures this year have broken all the records of the past 35 years."
But not only humans are suffering.
Monkeys, deer and rabbits have descended on villages looking for water, while some villagers in Nellore have taken to using a bear to find water sources.
"We followed the footprints of a bear to reach the places where he has dug three- to four-feet trenches to find water," says K Venkaiah, the divisional forest officer.
"Now they have become a source of water for the villagers too."
Animals and humans alike are getting little good news from the weather forecasters.
The director of Hyderabad meteorological centre, CV Bhadram, says the hot weather will continue and the monsoon - normally due in the state around 8 June - may be delayed by more than a week.

We at Olivia's Vintage have been selling vintage electric instruments since 1995 as we were active online during the early "wild west" days of the Internet where trading was very unsafe and held many scam artists and disappointing transactions for potential buyers. In the midst of this early Internet chaos Olivia's managed to gain a reputable name in our campaign to build trust with clients from around the world through exhaustive presentation and detailed descriptions of our instruments. Unfortunately, online transactions are still a risk as there are still plenty of dishonest and misinformed sellers that make it difficult to know who can be trusted. For this reason we have always directed one question to buyers, trying to keep their interests in mind:
Why are you considering buying an instrument you've never played or seen in person, from someone you don't even know and have never met?
It's with that question in mind we strive to give the most thorough presentation of every instrument showing every possible detail you could ever be concerned about through good photography and descriptions that include any concerning detail of that instrument in order to avoid any surprises when the item is received. It's our goal to be sure that everyone knows exactly what they're buying before it's even paid for. The fruits of this labor have been consistent feedback from customers stating the items purchased are found to be better than expected when they arrive.
Our inventory will always be filled with an interesting variety of vintage and quality electric instruments as we are constantly adding to our selection by traveling across the country to find what we hope will be the instrument you've always wanted. We proudly guarantee that when you receive an item from us the instrument will be exactly as described. To assure our claims we offer the buyer a 48 hour inspection period to personally confirm the truthfulness of our statements about the instrument. It's our goal to gain your confidence for long-term business by creating a problem-free transaction every time.

Reviewed on 2/26/2013...
I am constantly amazed by the amount of people on this site, who cannot be bothered to read the description of a boxed set! There is no trickery here! Swap's description clearly states that this is a "serial" collection from the 1930s. The actual box states this, very clearly. Other sites that I checked, including Amazon, all clearly state that this is a collection of movie serials. These people have no one to blame but themselves and it appears there are around 50 of them, since over that many are available to trade. Gee, how proud their mommies must be!
If you collect serials like myself, you know that these titles can be hard to come by, in an "officially" released set. All four of them, for the $5 I spent, is an incredible bargain. I am very happy to have them and they look no worse than a great many of the serials that I have from the 30s. Even if there were better copies of the prints out there somewhere, these serials will never be "restored". There is simply not a big market for them. They are what they are ... a piece of cinematic history, available for those who appreciate such things.
The other reviewers need to take remedial reading classes.

Darn mad!

"So darn dissapointed with this box set of 48 shows! After I got it, I saw on the back of the box.... made in 1930to 1935!!! Well, need I say anymore! The films on the DVD's were such bad quality, I wanted to just though the box set in the trash!! Very disappointed with this! I have never gotten such a bad deal!! DON'T BUY THIS ONE!! rmg."
Viewing quality terrible
Charles Power | Columbia, MD | 05/03/2008
(1 out of 5 stars)
"It's easy to suppose that one is getting episodes from the 50s TV show here. No, what you get are four discs, each with a 12-episode Rin Tin Tin serial from the 30s and 40s. Nothing wrong with that, but the quality of the transfers is such that you will have to be a real Rinty enthusiast to get through even one episode. The serials are hardly good enough to merit expensive restoration, but hard to watch without it. One hopes someone can find better elements to put out a more watchable DVD someday. Good example of getting what you paid for."
Not the TV show
Denny | Gainesville, Florida United States | 09/02/2008
(2 out of 5 stars)
"It is not the TV series which is what i was hoping for. The movie serials are a little dated and Rinnie is not always the star. I have watched it once and will probably never again."

about 4 years ago, and I have been

Dinky's boys.
Austin, TX
"I just had to let you know how much I appreciate you breeding my new
baby. He is so healthy and perfect in all ways. He has adapted beautifully to
our home and Tilly "puts up" with him.
..........He has already learned to go on the puppy pads I keep down for Tilly.
If you would like to use me as a reference know that I will always give you
an excellent referral."
I just wanted to take a moment and
thank you for your time today! I really
appreciate you letting us come out to
your home and visit our newest family
member....We are very excited....
She is just perfect and I have wanted her
for a long time. See you soon!=)

I dont know if you remember me

She is so sweet, and full of energy.

BUYERS Quotes
& puppies we have sold
We have that special puppy that you are looking
for! Quality Toy Yorkshire Terriers
, many with
champion lines
Toys when full grown are typically 5-8 lbs. We recommend the larger toys for families with young
children. Tinies, sometimes called Teacups are just Yorkies that stay extra tiny. There is no official
defining point for an extra tiny, but I consider anything four pounds or less when full grown to be an
extra tiny. Tiny "pocket " sized dogs that you can take anywhere. We have raised Yorkies for about
0 years and have learned a good standard is to triple the weight of the puppy when they are 8 weeks
old or double the weight at 12 weeks of age. This is usually very accurate. We do occasionally have
puppies surprise us and either stay smaller or get a little bigger than expected. Because of this we do
not guarantee a puppy's adult size. Prices reflect size, quality and the breeding of a particular puppy.
We will always do our best to give you what you desire in your special Yorkie puppy though!
About us....
We have been raising Yorkshire Terriers for over thirty years. WE
give full health guarantees. We raise for QUALITY
in breed
standards, health and disposition
. All of our puppies are AKC
registered and many have Champion lines. I specialize in raising
beautiful Yorkies with that sweet outgoing temperament that makes
this breed so awesome! Questions are always welcome!
About the breed
Yorkshire Terriers make great pets! They are full of life and very smart.
They are generally very hardy and are non-shedding. Their silky,
human-like hair is easy to care for and wonderful to pet. They are known
for their fearlessness-big dog in a tiny body. Because of this they do not
tend to "fear bite" making them a great children's pet. Though we do not
recommend the "tinies" for very young children because they are fragile.
Shimmertime Yorkies
Wanted to send you a message and let you
know how pleased we are to have this bundle
of energy. She is adjusting very well to her
new home and her new old brother Mikey.
We have lots of friends & family asking
where did we get this cute little girl. Once
again thank you so much for doing what
you do for the puppies. Lexi was born on
10/18/10 and her daddy is Remington and
mother was Midget. I have enclosed a pic of
her. She got that teddy bear face, So cute.

Hi Leann,
I just wanted to share a picture of our puppy we got from
you back in May. My daughter named him Raz and he has
stolen the hearts of us all, even my husband (although he
won't admit to it)! He has the best attitude and demeanor
and is loveable and cuddly to boot! He loves my daughter
just as much as she loves him. He has adapted very well,
and is already house trained. We're going on two weeks
now with no accidents and he barks when he needs out! So,
with that said, I would like to say thank you and tell you
that you've done a great job with your breeding selections.
We couldn't be happier with our little fuzzy puppy! Thanks
again, Tisha
"Ziggy"-sold in 2011 to Debra from
Garland. A year later Debra says
"The male I bought from you with
the parents Fancy Pantz and
Remington is a real sweetheart. He
weighs exactly 2 lbs. He has been
really healthy..."
She is purchasing 2 more babies
this year to be friends to Ziggy!
Hi Leann,
It's almost been a year since we met you at
your sisters to pick up daisy. Her parents
are angel and chaz. She has been the most
loving wonderful dog we have had. We
have another who is 15 and not doing well.
As soon as we see him through this we will
contact you for another. Thank you for
raising such great dogs.
Nancy and John lee
I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you so much
for the two most precious little boy. Tuffy and Sweets are
the two we bought from you back in 2010. They were
born April 1st 2010, I don't have the papers with me so I
don't know who the parent are. We have been very
pleased with our two boy, they have been very healthy.
Sammy Jr is our 12 year old that we had when we bought
the two from you, Sammy Jr has become more active
with the two younger boys being around. I hope you and
your family have a very Merry Christmas. Keep up the
good work of raising such beautiful Yorkie. We will
always keep you in mind if we ever need another Yorkie.
I've attached a picture of the boys.
I wanted to give you an update on Izzy.
She is such a sweet, fun,
playful little girl. We all love her so much.
She still hasn't made it to the two pound
mark yet but she has grown
quite a bit.
She had her first grooming today. The
groomer, Four Paws in San
Angelo, just loved her. She did great!
I'm including pictures I took
Thank you so much for our beautiful little
Sold in 2013
Hi LeeAnn!
Hope you are doing well. I
Purchased Rylie from you

you. We could not be
happier with her! We love
Thank you!!
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you so
much for our precious Grey (out of DJ and Chloe
(or Sophie?... can't remember the mom for sure).
He has added such joy to our family after the
devastation of our other yorkie being stolen from
our yard.
Grey is so loving and playful and TINY - he is 9
months old now and only weights 1.9lbs.
Everyone that sees him falls instantly in love with
him (and makes fun of his stature). :)
Brooks W
She's just over a year old
now, so I thought I'd share
a couple of pics of Kayti
with you. She is an
awesome little girl, and still
weighs just under 2 pounds.
Sparkles is 14 1/2
months old. 2 1/2
pounds. We LOVE her

ADORE her so much!
She is so smart! I
have also taught her to
sit, stay and shake.Her
personality is super
sweet and of course
that face makes your
heart melt every time
you see her! She is a
joy and a mess (a
good mess!) all
wrapped into one
sweet little girl.
Everyone who meets
her quickly falls in
LVE with her!

While we may be a hotbed for commercial buildings certified under the USGBC's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system, we've yet to see any significant adoption of LEED for Homes in the residential new construction arena. This is largely due to the fact that the Built Green program is already well established in this region, and it costs quite a bit less for builders to use.
When we do see LEED for Homes projects, they're somewhat of a novelty, because they are usually as green or greener than the highest Built Green rating of 5-Stars. Not only will they most certainly have integrated some kind of renewable energy system, most notably solar photovoltaics or solar hot water, they'll also look and feel like custom designed homes with too many green features too list.
For this reason, we like to give special attention to LEED for Homes projects when they are available for the public to see. And amazingly, as spring brings a slight boost to our ailing real estate market, we've got not one, but three LEED projects to showcase.
Footprint at the Bridge – 7 Units in Fremont – Open Sundays 12-5pm

I LOVE her craft punches! They are simply awesome! I really WANT one of her screw punches, but they are ridiculously expensive, so I've never taken that plunge. I really like her labels and her stickers, and her stinking magazines, even! I now subscribe to BOTH MS Living AND Body and Soul! Yikes! What am I DOING??? At least I got those subs for free so I'm not feeding the monster or anything...which brings me to my point for today, anyway!
Well, crud.
I like it.
A lot.
I haven't, obviously, done any of the projects yet, as I just picked it up last night, but I did page through it and there are LOTS that I would really love to do! Now, granted...being a Martha publication some of them require supplies that you can only get at 'specialty' stores if you happen to have an arm, a leg, and perhaps an eye to spare...or maybe your first born...you know how that goes...but there are other projects in there that are totally normal and reasonable and look REALLY STINKING CUTE! Now I want to make them.
Honestly, this book looks awesome and is so worth owning. I will try to get a project or two from it done so I can share them with you, but in the meantime, run to your library and check it out!
I also picked up a book to help me learn to knit. Now all I need is yarn. And needles. And some other stuff. LOL! OH, and I got Death Swatch by Laura Childs because I simply CAN'T wait until it comes out in paperback and I MUST read it now! I love her books!!!
So, what are your opinions on Martha? Do you love her? Hater her? Emulate her? Boycott her? I'm curious. Am I alone in my struggle?

On April 6th, 2016, multiple local, state and federal resources were dispatched to the Topock Fire, burning on the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge in mostly riparian fuels including salt cedar south of Topock, Az. The fire which started around 4 AM, quickly grew to 25 acres pushing the fire south from the New South Dike rd and jumped the Colorado River. Orders began to come in around 10 AM as the fire was threatening both Pirates Cove and the Topock Marina. E511 (PNP), A125 (GOV), E1102 (BUK), E3661 (CRD), E2 (GOL), B84 (MOV), Batt. 9 (FMM) and miscellaneous overhead were the first arriving units to a rapidly expanding fire.
|Fire activity upon E511's arrival
E511, E1102 and E2 were assigned to structure protection at the Topock Marina under Battalion 9 where firefighters triaged the marina and adjacent mobile home park. Multiple helicopters and fire boats began suppressing the fire while engines held the South Dike Rd, working into the evening.

Customer Services
Kate, born to a British mother and Japanese father, spent her childhood years in Kobe and Tokyo. As a teenager she returned to the UK where she continued her education at a boarding school before winning a place in Chinese Studies at Hertford College, Oxford University.
In 2013 upon graduating, Kate moved to Taiwan for two years where she continued studying Mandarin Chinese, supporting herself by teaching English and yoga. She also found work as a trilingual interpreter supporting the cast on a film being made locally. Many Japanese were also involved in the production. Working with them reminded her of her roots in Japan and she felt a strong urge to return there for the first time in 12 years.
Initially, Kate spent six months working on farms in Yamanashi and Nagano Prefectures, where she picked up knowledge and skills on the locally developed version of permaculture. During this time she came to appreciate the Japanese attitude towards nature; their intimate connection with the mountains and water, reflected in the indigenous Shinto religion and in the Zen attitude towards appreciation of beauty in transience. Inspired, Kate decided to move back to Japan permanently.
Before doing so, however, over the winter of 2015-16 Kate spent four months in Punjab and Gujarat, where she visited farms and helped on the production of a documentary, which related the lives of small-scale farmers pursuing their livelihoods in a world of multinational agri-business. During this period she also undertook yoga teacher training in Rishikesh.
Kate is a regular practitioner of yoga and meditation, and hosts meditation sessions in her home. In her free time she also enjoys long bike rides and delving into the techno music scene in Tokyo, where she now lives.
Kate joined Walk Japan in 2016 and works in the company's Tokyo Office as a member of the Customer Service team. Kate also makes regular trips to Kyushu to assist with the Kunisaki Retreat tour.

Why doesn't paypal care about their users?
I am having ongoing technical issues with my account which seems to stem from a glitch in the PayPal system. When I sign in to my account, it says that my account is 'limited'.
I have gone through the limitation review more than 10 times in an attempt to resolve it, but when I click the box re: agreeing to PayPal's Electronic Communications Delivery Policy, then press continue, it does not acknowledge that I have accepted the terms and takes me back to the original page that states that the account is limited.
I have tried doing it on various computers (Mac and PC), as well as on Safari and Firefox, and nothing works – it never acknowledges my Agreement to Receive PayPal Electronic Communications.
Due to this, my account is frozen and I cannot receive payment from my customers.
I have emailed to get help six times, and each time it points me back to the website to read a section completely unrelated to my issue (ie. it is clear that a human did not read my email). I've also tried calling, but both times waited on the phone for more than two hours.
Why doesn't PayPal respond to its customers?

I have the same problem without any reaction from Paypal to fix the trouble. Fucking Paypal……….
having trouble with security questions. 1. name of first school 2.Name of first pet..
It seems that when I give answers they are not accepted. I have tried all lower case, all upper case and a mixture of upper/lower to no avail
What do I need to do to allow me to pay via paypal. I recently purchased a product and paid via a Debit card with (so it seems no touble) although I still await

Nice site.
My sites:
Spin Craft Software (Like Fractals?)
Excuses (Why things are the way they are wiki)
The Hurl Wiki (The art and physics of throwing stuff!)
Nice site! I like the Spin Craft Software the best as far as looks go, but The Hurl sounds interesting. And then there's always Tristan's site, http://www.10101software.co.nr/
By the way, how did you get Google to recognize your site?
thx for recognizing my site.
As for google:
go to [http://www.google.com].
Click on about google at the bottom of the page.
under the yellow section ("For site owners") click on submit your content to google.
Now Craig, Hurling is also a sport.
My condolensces for a lack of Youth Division in the Burlington Pumpkin Pitch :)
And who is this?
Lincoln, you are hilarious: "Not only does this make the applications released by BinkWorks small, for fast downloads, it makes for a clean, uncluttered interface, which, as a plus, builds character."
Now, where could I (if I had a Mac) obtain a nice, simple calculator with no interface (like one grid on an Excel spreadsheet)?
Thanks for the Google hacks, Tristan!
Actually, I was referring to the Calculator included in Mac OS X.
And who is this?
That would be me, and yes, I have horrible form: I should keep by back straight.
By the way, how did you get Google to recognize your site?
I did nothing at all. Not kidding. Your link here should be enough.
Thanks for the Google hacks, Tristan!
My entire site is actually just a bunch of published Google docs so I get free page hosting and my domain name is free too. (yay!)
Lucky, Lucky, Lucky. ;P
I weaseled my big brother into buying me a domain name; I didn't know about the .co.nr free thing. Buy, hey! I get a free .com, so I'm happy.
Some of the free ones (like .tk) don't let you control the DNS and only mirror a site while adding ads.
Yay! No ads!
co.nr is really nice. All they want is a small version of their logo on your first page.
Yeah, it looked pretty good when I saw it. I use free hosting, and have ads on my site.
Just like to mention i run www.mymmoclan.com and provide free hosting. The adverts atm are google but soon i will be changing it just to point a small banner to www.mmortsgamers.com . Feel free to join up both - the free hostings pretty good - my site is run on the 100gb paid version.
Wow Vimes haven't heard from you in a while! Glad to see your still checking in from time to time.
Thanks for posting :)
So, today, I had a normal day. Then I got home, and nothing-much happened.
Oh - I can play Eine Kleine Nacht Musik, and found that somebody I know is a very skilled violinist :)

Ripped Hung Hunk Caleb Fucks His Boyfriend Braxton Hard & Deep
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Jun.16, 2015, under Men Over 30
Braxton is having an attack of jealousy regarding his boyfriend Caleb. While Caleb is outside spending time with his friends, poor Braxton is tormented with the thoughts of Caleb's infidelity and adultery. He sends Caleb tons of text messages, which make Caleb angry and furious. When Caleb finally arrives home, the two men start arguing over where Caleb was and who is a cheating boyfriend. Caleb insists that he's innocent and that he only spent time with his buddies in the gym and drinking beer in the café. Braxton is still unconvinced and they keep arguing.
Braxton is unable to fall asleep, still thinking about his boyfriend and whether he still loves him. Braxton knows that a round of good ole sex is all that is needed to fix things, so he approaches Caleb and starts sucking his dick. Caleb slowly wakes up, and immediately accepts the game: the guys switch to the 69 position, and then Braxton impales on Caleb's hot stiff dick. Braxton is no newbie when it comes to hard fucking and he skillfully rides Caleb's rod. After some more hot steamy action, Braxton shoots his load that hits Caleb's chest. Then Caleb follows suit and treats his jealous boyfriend with a generous load.

Click for Larger VersionI think I painted this guy when I was like 10 or 11 (I might be dating myself here). I remember him coming with a few Punk Rock scouts and lots of Tyranid Warriors and Genestealer Hybrids. Maybe an old Space Crusade booster set?
I painted him in the Mentors Legion scheme (I hope!) and it looks to me like I converted the Force Axe into a Force Sword...which might make this my first conversion too! Shamefully, back then, I actually painted my minis but left them unbased! Now it's the opposite!

Three Brownfields Grants Awarded in New Hampshire // Part of nearly $10 Million Funded Across New England
Release Date: 04/07/2008
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – April 7, 2008) – Three communities and organizations across New Hampshire have been awarded $600,000 in EPA funding to help revitalize former industrial and commercial sites, transforming them from abandoned and blighted properties into community assets. The funding for Granite State projects comes from EPA's Brownfields program.
The EPA grants will help pay to assess, clean and redevelop abandoned, contaminated parcels known as brownfields. Projects are selected in a competitive national competition. Of the $74 million of Brownfields grants nationwide announced today by EPA, nearly $10 million are in New England states. Brownfields are sites where expansion, redevelopment, or reuse may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.
"EPA's Brownfields program has had incredible success helping New England communities revitalize overlooked and abandoned properties," said Robert W. Varney, regional administrator of EPA's New England regional office. "This money will help provide skilled jobs, a cleaner environment, and more greenspace for New Hampshire."
In New Hampshire, Brownfields grants to conduct community-wide site assessments and cleanups were made to:
· City of Berlin - $200,000
· Town of Durham - $200,000
· N.H. Dept. of Environmental Services - $200,000
"NH DES is very pleased to receive EPA's grant for our Statewide Petroleum Assessment Program. This funding will be used to provide brownfields assistance to communities throughout the State," said NH DES Commissioner Tom Burack. "The statewide focus of our petroleum brownfields funding will allow the State to provide technical and financial assistance to all existing brownfields grant recipients as well as to rural New Hampshire communities which lacked the ability to independently apply for their own funding."
This year, the New Hampshire Brownfields grant recipients were among 209 organizations nationally that have been awarded one of the 314 assessment, revolving loan fund, and cleanup grants totaling $74 million. The three N.H. grantees were selected from nearly 100 applicants from New England.
EPA's Brownfields program promotes redevelopment of America's estimated 450,000 abandoned and contaminated waste sites. Since 1994, EPA has provided nearly $170 million in grants and other funding for site evaluations, job training and cleanup loan programs to dozens of communities and agencies in New England, including more than $18 million in New Hampshire. EPA estimates that every acre of reclaimed Brownfields saves 4.5 acres of greenspace and every greenspace created, on average, has doubled the value of surrounding properties.
Brownfields funds help communities assess contamination at abandoned and vacant sites and estimate the costs of cleaning up sites for redevelopment. Municipalities and select organizations can also receive funding for cleanup grants and to establish revolving loan programs that provide low interest loans for cleanups.
In addition to industrial and commercial redevelopment, Brownfields projects have converted industrial waterfronts to riverfront parks, rail corridors to recreational trails, landfills to golf courses and gas stations to housing. EPA's brownfields assistance has leveraged more than $10.4 billion in cleanup and redevelopment funding and more than 47,000 jobs in cleanup, construction, and redevelopment. Assessments have been performed on 11,738 properties and 256 properties have been cleaned up.

"In the first decade of the twentieth century, Saskatchewan was in the midst of an unprecedented boom in population and prosperity. This rapid growth was fueled by the agricultural sector, in particular the grain industry, as the province became the "breadbasket of the world". Fairbanks-Morse was the global leader in farm machinery and Saskatoon became one of its flagship distribution centres, worthy of a substantially -built, architecturally notable warehouse building."
• Rod Stutt, Saskatchewan Architectural Heritage Society
The conversion of the Fairbanks-Morse building into residential units was the first warehouse conversion of its kind in Saskatoon. A total of twelve loft units were inserted on the upper three floors, over an existing retail outlet and a new lobby for the residential units on the main floor. The basement was renovated to provide an amenity space, visitor unit, storage area, and mechanical room. A rooftop terrace was provided for the use of residents. Parking was provided on site in new garages and in a small surface parking lot accessed from the lane. SEPW worked carefully with the heritage coordinator at the City of Saskatoon to ensure that the character defining elements of the building were not lost during the renovation.

He looked across the table at me and said, "I'm afraid for my kids and the world they'll grow up in."
"Yeah," I empathized, "twenty sixteen hasn't been the year some of us had hoped for."
"It's sad and bigger than that: I think I've lost all faith in humanity."
Nodding my head, I put my hand on his shoulder, "It's okay to feel that way today, but tomorrow, let's wake up and at least believe in one another. I'll believe in you, and you believe me. And remember, I'm a Jesus guy, so that means I believe that God hasn't left us to ourselves."
"Okay, Kevin. I'll let you be optimistic tomorrow, then. But today, I just want to lament a little."
Perhaps you're like my friend. Perhaps 2016 was full of days where you just wanted to lament a little. And that's okay. You're justified in your lament. This year left many weary—weary from politics, war, injustice, personal loss, and adversity.
Shoot, I'll join the lament.
I lost my dad to Parkinson's this year.
My back failed me this year.
I needed surgery and extended bed rest this year.
I did more funerals in 2016 than in all my years of ministry before it.
And then, there's the election. It's affected all of us. It prompted the above conversation, and with every new tweet from our president-elect, I question the future of our country.
However, at the end of a year like this one, let's not let our lament interfere with our hope. (Reread that last sentence).
As we talked about on Sunday, the promise of Christmas is Immanuel: God with us. The story of the Christ-child freshly born among us is ultimately a story about God's desire to be born within all of us, in the midst of our pain and struggle. It's a story of hope emerging from circumstances of lament. It's the perfect promise for a weary world looking for renewal.
Remember, Jesus wasn't born into a happy situation. He was born in a barn. His parents were refugees. They had to flee their home to save their child's life. Jesus' mother was to be outcast or worse, given the circumstances of her pregnancy. It's fair to say Jesus' family had more reason to lament than we have today. But they didn't. They had the courage to hope. The promise made to them is the same promise made to us: "And God will give you a sign, the virgin shall give birth to a son, and he shall be called Immanuel, which means God with us."
As one theologian puts it, "Jesus was born in a barn and not in a palace because the Kingdom enters into our crap and not into our competence."
If you find yourself lamenting 2016, then Christmas couldn't come soon enough. Lament, but let that lament open up space in your heart to hope. As the Scriptures say, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven." Perhaps God is waiting there for you, waiting in your lament, inviting you to hope. Perhaps it's in the cracks of your broken year where God is most present, where the promise of Christmas is most true.
God with us.
May we have the courage to hope this Christmas season. May we never forget that God is with us.
-Kevin Knox

Ashwini is a modern day diligent woman. Based out of Thane, she conducts weekend culinary workshops. Be it cuisines like Mexican, Italian or appetizers and desserts like sizzlers, breads, ice-creams, Modaks, cakes, Ashwini can teach her students any of these. Her major hits are the chocolate-making classes,fresh cream cakes, fondant theme cakes and jar cakes.
'Aarya's kitchen', Ashwini's official Facebook page took birth about a year ago when Ashwini was herself searching for cooking classes on the internet. It was during one of these searches that she was fascinated by the power of social networking. She uses her page to exhibit her creative works and announce the upcoming workshops. She believes that through this platform she is able to be in constant touch with her students and has strengthened her relationships with her students.
Words about Ashwini's amalgamation of culinary and teaching skills has spread beyond Thane. Often her classes are attended by students from the nearby districts of Satara, Alandi, Baramati and Solapur. Despite high number of student enrollments only limited number of students are admitted in a workshop so as to maintain a balanced teacher-student ratio.
One of the proud moments for Ashwini is when her students start off their own baking ventures. Being a good teacher is very different from being a likable teacher. If she realizes that some students are not up to the mark she politely sculpts them over time. She does this because she understands how vulnerable these students will become once they enter the competitive commercial market. So according to her doing ones due homework is extremely important.
She regularly updates herself with latest skills and technologies in the market by attending trending workshops by national and international cake artists.
Behind Ashwini's successful eight hour long classes are her perseverance, management skills, strong bonds with her students and an immense support from her family.
Her husband, Abhijit, whom she married at the age of 20, is her guiding northern star. It was he who noticed that Ashwini has a knack for cooking. At one point of time, Ashwini's 'Modaks', sweet Indian dumplings, were a major hit in Pune. However Abhijit soon realized while Ashwini spends a lot of effort preparing these while its perceived value is very less. So he advised her to not burn herself out despite high demand. Ashwini mentioned that Abhijit himself accompanies her to places where she can't go alone, be it conducting workshops or buying raw materials. Voila! He was by her side even for this interview. Her cute kids Aarya and Ansh who are eight and five years old respectively are no tantrum throwing kids.
Although the weekends are hectic, the family goes out or simply spends time together on Wednesdays when everyone is at home.
Going ahead, Ashwini aspires to move to a well-equipped baking studio and expand with corporate and wedding cakes.
Ashwini's greatest motivation comes from the positive feedback from her students and her inner drive for charity. She believes the more she will be able to earn the more she will be able to donate. Her mantra to other entrepreneurs is – "To be a successful enterprise one has to follow their passion and work hard."

Stage 4 - Vietnam - Hot LZ
The helicopter replaced the horse and that reinvigorated cavalry tactics.
Cavalry during the Civil and Indian wars (and before) would navigate rapidly to the flanks, or even behind the enemy, dismount and form a skirmish line. Cavalry is frequently the "tip of the spear" during an assault, or the last to leave the battlefield during a retreat. The helicopter brought these cavalry tactics back into spotlight, even more so due to the very challenging terrain of the Vietnamese battlefields.
During the Vietnam conflict, forces were dropped straight into the fight - frequently exiting the helicopter while under direct fire, this being referred to as a Hot LZ.
We're going to get a lot of comments on this, but the Colt SP1's A1 birdcage IS period correct, although maybe not specifically for the Battle of Ia Drang. The original 3 prong flash hiders were prone to damage, collection of debris, and abuse by the soldiers so the A1 birdcage replaced them gradually over time, starting as early as 1967.

I'm so excited to introduce you to Cosmic Kids (if you haven't been already). It's an absolute FAV in our home and it's just so brilliant! My kids are in love with their yoga adventure they get to go on each day! And yes it's an adventure!
Here they are surfing the waves:
Here they are unlocking a treasure chest:
Can you see their shark fins below while they chat with a shark?
And here my daughter is making a quick phone call to mom to let her know she is A-Ok!
Let me introduce you to the face of Cosmic Kids. Her name is Jaime, and she's quite the enthusiast. Have I mentioned that her yoga videos are all exciting adventures?!
Seriously...they're exciting.
I wanted to know so much more as soon as I first found Cosmic Kids! So I wrote and invited her over to That's So Cuegly and she answered some Interview Q's for me!
1. Please tell us a little about yourself?
I'm Jaime. I live in the countryside just outside London, England with my partner Martin and our two dogs Spencer and Mini. I trained as an actress at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and have been a professional fairy (children's entertainer) for many years. As well as teaching kids' yoga I also teach grown-ups!
2. When did you start Cosmic-Kids and what gave you the idea?
Cosmic Kids began in 2010. I had been improvising using yoga as a physical storytelling technique for years at children's parties and decided there must be a way to make it more official. I trained with a lovely lady called Fenella Lindsell who has helped create the Waybuloo TV series. From then I began creating my own stories and sequences to teach in schools, nurseries, preschools and private studios. I currently teach around 200 kids per week and use yoga at children's parties!
We began filming and posting the Cosmic Kids videos in May 2012. I wanted kids to be able to do yoga whenever they feel like it as coming to a scheduled class might not always be available or affordable. I also wanted to provide teachers with a resource to bring yoga into the classroom as a brilliant and fun way to balance energy levels, calm things down or get everyone feeling ready for a day of learning.
3. Why Yoga?
Yoga gives us stability, and space. We breathe through and remove the obstacles and limitations that block our energy channels and set ourselves free. The challenges we face on a yoga mat are a metaphor for the challenges we face in life. Through yoga practice we learn to handle 'real life' challenges with steadiness and ease. I have been practicing yoga since I was a teenager and know how beneficial and fun it can be. Kids love to move and yoga postures come naturally to them. When we physically engage with a learning process we absorb so much more, so with kids yoga we have this wonderful opportunity to not only help kids maintain a good level of physical fitness and reduce their stress, but also to communicate valuable life lessons through stories.
4. Can you tell us a bit more about the program and any upcoming goals?
There's a really cool process at work in the making of Cosmic Kids. After I write each story I take it into the schools and nurseries to try it out with the kids I teach regularly. Their reactions help me understand what works best and they continually give me new inspiration for themes, unique yoga moves and characters. I also listen to parents and teachers to find out what issues they feel need tackling so I can design stories to help with specific problems. Coming soon as a direct result of this is a series of bedtime stories - this seems to be a universal issue for many kids (and their parents!)
We shoot the stories in our local social club in front of a green screen. I do the whole story in one take. It flows well and I feel a sustained connection with the kids doing the yoga, and it's great for holding attention.
There's a small and talented team that work behind the scenes to make Cosmic Kids happen. There's Jake the cameraman, Dylan the illustrator who creates all the wonderful back drops, the logo and other artwork and Konrad who creates 3D animated worlds out of them and puts me in them. At the helm of it is my partner Martin. Together we collaborate and come up with new ideas and innovations to make CK brilliant. Martin brings the whole team together and has instilled an open, happy and creative culture in all of us working on CK. Without him Cosmic Kids would never have happened.
We are blown away by how many people are watching Cosmic Kids now. I come in from teaching 2 or 3 classes of 15 kids and in the same time thousands of kids around the world have been doing a class too. At the moment, we just want to keep having fun making them and see what happens. We are always interested in hearing from people who use the videos to find out how they are helping and what we can do to make them even better.
5. Where else can we find you on the web?
We have a DVD available on Amazon.You can also come and join the CK gang on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cosmic-Kids/223487707770690, subscribe to our channel on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/CosmicKidsYoga, or visit our website http://www.cosmickids.co.uk/ or you can follow me on twitter @jaimestweets.
I've also written a book about running kids' parties and have a blog where you can pick up lots of ideas for games, themes and making your next kids' party a huge success. http://www.howtorunakidsparty.com/
6. Do you have any tips for keeping your child healthy and/or active?
Kids need a good example. When we are active and healthy ourselves, kids follow suit. When you show them how much you value yourself and enjoy keeping up your own fitness, they will be keen to find their own. I am also a huge juicing fan and know that the fruit and vegetables I eat are a constant source of health and wellness. The more naturally we can eat and drink the better.
7. What is your favorite Yoga Adventure so far?
That's a tough one! Squish the Fish is probably up there, but coming soon are Spartz 24 The RoboDog of 2112 and Mike The Cosmic Space Monkey - so there's lots to look forward to!
8. Is there anything else you would like us to know?
The next Cosmic Kids episode, Enzo the Bee, will be out in early March. Join us on Facebook or subscribe to the YouTube channel to get it as soon as it's available.
Thanks Jaime for stopping by and letting us get to know more about you and the program Cosmic Kids! Everyone please share this with your friends!
My kid's workout routine has changed for the good and they look forward to working out EVERY single day! Thanks Jaime!

Tamil Ilamai Oonjal Movie Review & Rating, Box Office Collection, Hit or Flop :- Ilamai Oonjal is Tamil recent release Thriller drama movie which is looking quite good in the box office. People have mixed buzz for the movie and they are watching the movie in very average numbers. On the other hand this week people have lot of other options to watch and they surely going to attract towards them in very good numbers. Also, I don't think that movie is good.
Ilamai Oonjal Movie Review & Rating
Story plot and the direction of this movie are not looking that good as expected by the makers. I am not sure that the movie going to be the good hit in box office. Overall movie is getting mixed reviews from the other Critics and people who are watching the movie saying the mixed word of mouth for the movie. Ilamai Oonjal is maybe not able to collect half of the budget from the cinemas.
Tamil Kutrame Thandanai Movie Review & Rating
The Movie directed by Arirajan. Featuring Namitha, Kiran, Megna Naidu, Keerthi Chawla, Shivani Singh are the lead role of the movie. The concept of this movie is not that good and I am not sure people are going to love this movie. Music is average and I am not sure that you all going to watch this movie in upcoming days.
Story based on-
Seriously this movie has not that much strong story plot but overall you can make yourself comfortable with the hot actress Namitha. And makers are trying to convene that they did everything great with the movie. But truly it's such a disaster.
Positive point of the movie-
- Good editing by the editors.
- Few locations are good.
- Cinematography is quite awesome.
Negative Point of the movie-
- The movie has not that good music.
- Direction and acting is worst case scenario.
- Story plot is out of the mind.
Final verdict-
Ilamai Oonjal is worst movie I've ever seen and I am sure that you all going to hate this movie. But in case if you love this movie then it's just because you love the main leading actress. Don't watch the Movie.
Releasing Date- 02/09/2016
