MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Sesame Street is coming to Memphis. The organization behind the popular show is working with local charities to help young children.
The general idea is pretty simple.
The program uses 'loveable,' trustworthy Sesame Street characters to help at risk kids and their families deal with serious issues. For example, domestic violence or a family member who's in prison.
Through the program, Sesame Street characters talk about those kinds of things often in videos that kids can watch.
"It opens up kids and adults to a willingness to communicate and so forth. And when they do that, they learn something," Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris said.
Sesame Street is sharing resources like that with the Ace Awareness Foundation and Porter-Leath's system of preschools.
"All of this is about innovation about really doing what we can to help our families," Porter-Leath President Sean Lee said.
The preschools serve more than 6,000 at risk kids, and the foundation provides centers where parents can ask questions free of judgement.
Adding Sesame Street just makes sense.
"All you have to do is say Sesame Street and people start to smile," Renee Wilson-Simmons with the Ace Awareness Foundation.
The official name of the program is Sesame Street In Communities. And it's been effective in other cities.
"It helps children not only do well in school but also handle tough situations as they continue to grow," Dr. Jeanette Betancourt with Sesame Workshop said.
Memphis is the sixth city selected for this program.
Here are the events parents can attend in the coming days:
Sesame Street at Universal Parenting Places in Memphis
- December 5 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at Christ Community at 3481 Austin Peay
- December 5 from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Perea Preschool at 1250 Valintine Avenue, 2nd floor
- December 6 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women, 5th floor
- December 6 from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Knowledge Quest at 990 College Park Drive, Suite 104
Porter Leath Toy Truck Drive Event
- December 7 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Poplar Collection at 4615 Poplar Avenue

Dear Mistress,
This sissy had her Masturbation Schedule approved yesterday. The first approved day for this sissy is today.This meant that today is a great opportunity to mix business with pleasure.
This sissy learnt about the various stages of masturbating.
- Getting erect: this was not so hard :). This sissy just read a story about feminization by means of a futuristic pill. So this part was already taken care off.
- Stimulation: by using just two fingers is a wonderful sensation. It does make it feel a lot less manly and more feminine.
- Cumming: happened quite quickly. This sissy decided to catch this sissies cum for the 5th step.
- Afterglow: This is always a really hard part. This sissy looked at some stimulating pictures of "Lust for Lace". This made a second cumming possible.
- Acquiring the taste: This is quite hard for this sissy, She is more into women, but a good sissy should also learn to please a man. This sissy tasted the cummies and it tasted salty but not disgusting. This sissy dipped her index finger in the cummies and sucked it clean again. She did this a couple of times to get used to the taste.
This sissy feels proud of her accomplishment today and hopes the Mistresses are as well.
Love, phileine

I had to replace my original starter on my 2000 LX recently at 245K Miles!very few starter problem reported on this forum; unfortunately, most of them do not describe the pre-failure symptoms in detail
What brand of headlights did you use for $65 and were you happy with them?My 02 has 274K miles on it. Rebuilt the first trans at 200K after milking it for 36K (1700 from a local shop). Started noticing hard shifts at 164K. Every 125K I replaced the timing belt, pulleys and tensioner, also replaced the serpentine belt, plugs cam/crank seals and adjusted the valves. At 250K I elected to replace the radiator hoses and sway bar bushings. After 100K I had to replace the rear shocks, trunk lift supports, driver window regulator, all the motor mounts but the hydraulic one. After 200K I had to replace the PS high pressure hose, alternator. Runs great still, but is developing leaks where the oil pump is sealed to the block and oil filter valve assembly (did replace this one, others are major teardown). At 270 I had to weld back on the rear disc shields (cheaper that buying new ones) and replaced the headlight assemblies with ones off ebay (much easier to see now and only 65 for both). Lots of brakes, batteries and tires. Regular maintenance by the book.
OK thanks- yes, mine are a bit foggy and with condensation so they are bugging me.Just looked and the headlight (shells) no bulbs included and they were actually 75 for both to the door. Just some Chinese shells. Got them from carpartswholesale off their eBay site because they offered free return shipping. I figured if they were bad, I was out nothing. They have a site outside ebay as well.
The other day I added an 07 Ex to my collection of Hondas. It has 112K on it and I got it for 5K. Still needs the 105K major tune up work in it though. Just getting ready incase the 02 dies and I don't want to keep it alive (there is a lot of rattling going on as things are wearing).
I also used regular old Valvoline in the engine with fram filters. But do use ATF-Z1/ATF-DW1 and oem PS fluid.
Also forgot at 260K I had to replace the brake booster which has been going for 50K miles. Did not fail, but made wooshing noises after releasing the brake almost constantly toward the end.
Check some of these out including the Odyssey with 450K on the clock!!i'll never catch you guys - i'm just over 100,000 miles
Wow! That is great to hear!! Wow, our 2 ody's are young whipper snappers compared to some of yours.. 134k on the 2002 and 43k on the 2010. I hope to be replying to this thread someday with both of them passing the 200k mark!Big bump - our 2000 Odyssey is now at over 303,000 miles, and still on the original transmission.
I switched to amsoil ATF, fuel efficienct, about 28k miles ago. I will be changing it soon and getting a Blackstone labs oil analysis done, so will report their findings than. I have noticed a slight increase in MPG since the switch, and not enough of a difference in the shifting characteristics to really notice. I am planning on staying with amsoil, pending something worrisome from said report.

AWARD: Scott recognized by radio club
Friday, December 28, 2018
On Dec. 13, the Whitley County Amateur Radio Club met at Crossroads restaurant for its annual dinner meeting.
There, they awarded Edward Scott K9EJS the Ham of the Year Award.
Radio club leaders say this year's selection for the WCARC Ham of the Year was a tough choice for the membership as they had several members that really stood out and made things happen.
They chose Scott because of his active participation with the group, for playing a big role in getting the 2-meter repeater on the air for them, helping build the club's website and bringing the radio club's newsletter back.

I'm reblogging this post, not because I felt it was particularly well written but because I have added a substantial number of photographs since I first published it.
The Battle of Princeton Monument.
This great State in which I now live, was the crossroads of the Revolution. More battles were fought over New Jersey soil than over any other of the thirteen colonies. Places like Trenton, Princeton, Springfield, and, Monmouth were the sites of some of the most crucial battles of the struggle. Trenton and Princeton are where the tide finally turned in favor of the patriots.
Not four miles from where I type this, is a place where Washington stayed while his army was camped at White House, just down the road (sadly the house burned down in the 1960s but a commemorative sign still marks the spot).
Six miles in a different direction and you find Solitude House, High Bridge. This was another house where Washington (and his wife Martha) is known to have visited as well as General Lafayette, Colonel Charles Stewart, and Aaron…

Wrestling with God's Violent and Destructive Hand
"And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm."
-- Deuteronomy 26:8
Well-known and often-quoted, this phrase recalls the long-awaited liberation from Egypt, the ultimate symbol of God's power to save the Jewish people by lifting us out of bondage with just a single hand. But this popular image provides only half the picture, begging the question, what was God doing with the other hand?
This week's Torah portion, Eikev, offers a glimpse into a broader perspective of this moment. Answering the Israelites' concerns for safety amid strange and numerous nations, the Torah says:
You have but to bear in mind what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and all the Egyptians: the wondrous acts that you saw with your own eyes, the signs and the portents, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm by which the Lord your God liberated you.
Even as one of God's hands is reaching out to liberate the Jews, this passage animates God's other hand, the hand of Egyptian death and plagues, the hand that causes those it touches to perish, rather than walk free. This is the hand that remains largely invisible at the Passover seder. We sing about frogs and lice, beasts and boils. Nightmares like blood and darkness are reduced to humorous drawings on matzah covers decorated in Sunday school. Death of the firstborn is glossed over with a single drop of wine on a dinner plate. Nowhere in the Passover story is the hand that delivers these plagues the focal point.
This year, I welcomed a friend to my family's Passover table. In explaining the traditions and story to her for the first time, I found myself forced to confront the image of this second hand. The relish with which we rejoiced in the work of the other hand, the death and suffering of the Egyptians, even if they were "the enemy," was an unpleasant tradition to share.
The violent and destructive God has always deeply troubled me. A God that, in the words of this week's portion, has "no pity," a God that provokes "utter panic," a God compared to "a devouring fire" – this is a God to whom I feel no connection.
But skirting around these acts of cruelty feels just as uncomfortable.
I appreciate that this week's passage forces me to view both hands – the hand of salvation along with the hand of violence – in one frame. This week, we acknowledge the "other hand" rather than avoid it. The wondrous acts of liberation sandwiched between narratives of destruction are inexorably linked to the Egyptian deaths. These deaths, unnumbered and unnamed, usually quickly forgotten within the larger celebration of freedom and fresh starts, are pushed to the forefront. Only by zooming out and recognizing the work of both hands does the story of Passover become whole.
Just as viewing the Torah's complete picture is critical, if difficult, so, too, does Judaism require a wider view than that of the lighthearted songs and stories I experienced at Passover. Appreciating and celebrating the holiness of our story is an important, but, ultimately, incomplete form of worship. Only when we recognize and confront the harder issues, does Judaism become whole.
Participating in social justice work gives me a way to confront the issues that all too often or all too easily are ignored. Among them are the juvenile justice system, in which children as young as eight are punished alongside adults, or homelessness in cities in which people living on the sidewalk is so commonplace it becomes expected.
Neither of these issues affects me directly. My experience with homelessness has been indirect, and I have been privileged to learn about the wrongs of the justice system from behind a desk. Speaking up is hard and speaking out is scary, especially when I remain so removed from these and other issues.
Remaining silent, however, is unacceptable. If celebrating Passover's festive meal while ignoring the violence living invisibly between the lines bothers me, how can I ignore the human beings living invisibly on our streets and in our prisons?
As a Jew, as an activist, and as a Jewish activist, I can, by educating myself, discussing difficult topics, and acting – on the streets and in the voting booth – take steps to interrupt this silence.

WordPress does now output several predefined CSS styles. There is a template tag that not only outputs the page links wrapped in an <li> tag, but adds the class attribute page_item to it along with several other class styles and possibilities depending on the state of the link within WordPress. For example, if the selected page link also happens to be the current page displayed, then an additional class called current_page_item is additionally applied.
If your WordPress theme was to take advantage of creating a robust menu for the page links, you could write individual styles for page_item and current_page_ item in order to have complete control over your page links menu. This would also ensure that your menu displays whichever page is currently active.
Multiple class styles assigned to the same XHTML object tag?
As you can see in the DOM Source of Selection graphic, you can have as many classes as you want assigned to an XHTML object tag. Simply separate the class names with a blank space and they'll affect your XHTML object in the order that you assign them. Keep in mind that the rules of cascading apply, so if your second CSS rule has properties in it that match the first, the first rule properties will be overwritten by the second. There are more suggestions for this trick in Chapter 9.
This means we simply change our Listamatic CSS from an id (#current) within an a:href item, to a class within our li item (current_page_item) as follows:
#navlist li.current_page_item a{ background: white; border-bottom: 1px solid white;
We now have a page layout that looks like the following:

Stereotypes in '300' Fail to Match Historical Reality
JACKI LYDEN, host:
The film "300" has been out for more than a month but it's still drawing crowds to the theaters. Commentator Ahmad Sadri says he doesn't expect strict historical accuracy from Hollywood. He can accept hand grenades and a rhinoceros in the film's depiction of the Battle of Thermopylae in the 5th century B.C. What he can't abide(ph) are the racial and sexual stereotypes that exaggerate the differences between the ancient Greeks and Persians.
AHMAD SADRI: I saw Zack Snyder's "300" at a sleepy suburban movie theater near Chicago. The lady behind me was telling her husband that she did not expect to enjoy the movie because it sounded too violent. Those who came for that exact reason got their fill of digital gore.
To my mind, "300" drinks deeply at the cauldron of rage that is still boiling six years after that bloody Tuesday somewhere in the American psyche. It speaks to the desire to rave at endless ancient(ph) hordes. In this movie, Persian immortal knights are snarling beasts beneath their sinister masks, and their king is a fierce androgynous savage. More significantly, Persians are portrayed as black, and by implication, at once, Muslim and homosexual.
In the meanwhile, the Spartan warrior dissolves into your typical white American survivalist - staunchly homophobic and somehow Christian. He is patriotic but weary of his leaders who appear as sacrilegious, scheming lepers(ph).
Of course, the real Spartans were the opposite of all these. They were fond of their elected elders, and young boys. And if they invented boot camp and state terrorism, it wasn't to liberate, but to enslave their fellow Greek neighbors.
But history is Greek to Snyder. Unlike their avatars in the movie "300," however, the real Greeks were not racists. The Greeks weren't barbarians, had cultural, not racial undertones. Xenophon, the Greek philosopher and soldier of fortune admired King Cyrus of Persia. Herodotus spoke of the Persian invaders of Greece with awe and respect. The playwright Aeschylus even dedicated a tragedy to the Persians.
A century and a half later, Alexander of Macedon would invade Iran and burn Persepolis. Iranians mourned the devastation, but they did not call their invaders monsters. And the Persian poet Nezami eulogized Alexander as a prophet.
Turning our back to Hollywood, we can learn a lesson from the wars between the Persian Empire and the Greek confederates. It is possible to fight valiantly against fierce enemies without conceiving of them as hordes of degenerate sub-humans.

Wealth Managers Cautiously Optimistic On Markets - But Some Worries
Tom Burroughes, Group Editor , December 19, 2018
A general mood of caution emerges from this selection of views from wealth managers.
Wealth managers are turning their thoughts towards next year so here is a collection of opinions from a variety of firms in different parts of the world so as to give a genuinely diverse range of views. To contribute your own views, email the editor at firstname.lastname@example.com
LPL Financial executive vice president and chief investment strategist John Lynch
We do not anticipate a recession in 2019, thanks to the fundamentally driven economic momentum, combined with fiscal incentives and government spending programs on tap for the coming year," said. "We encourage investors, where appropriate, to base any investment decisions on the fundamentals rather than acting on speculative headlines, especially as the cycle matures and the 2020 presidential election now comes into increased focus.
Economy: GDP growth up to 2.75 per cent. The firm said it expects expectations should be cut in 2019 and forecasts US gross domestic product growth of 2.5 to 2.75 per cent in 2019, supported by consumer spending, business investment and government spending.
Stocks: LPL's view is that total return possibility in the range of 8 to 10 per cent when including dividends, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, driven by potential earnings per share gains in the range of 6 to 7 per cent.
Based on expectations for economic growth and monetary policy, along with the fiscal tailwinds of government spending, reduced regulation and lower taxes, LPL expects 2019 may be a "good year" for equity investors. Accordingly, it forecasts slightly above-average returns for the S&P 500 Index for 2019.
Bonds: Flat returns. With market interest rates climbing from historic lows, bond investors must be prepared for gradually rising rates, with periodic surges that may temporarily affect sentiment, the firm said, adding that it expects flat returns for bonds in 2019.
Louisa Lo, head of Greater China Equities, Schroders
We are taking a defensive stance, staying underweight to the technology sector, while emphasising domestically-focused areas of the market and those with long-term growth trends. Following a cyclical recovery in 2017, driven by robust domestic demand and supply-side reforms, the emphasis in China has since shifted to the quality of economic growth.
With political power consolidated under President Xi, this focus on quality growth as well as economic and social stability brought renewed efforts to shrink the shadow banking sector. The government's effort to deleverage the economy and increase regulatory oversight led to concerns around economic growth coming into 2018. Indeed, we saw credit conditions tighten on the back of reduced shadow banking activity. Tighter credit led to a rise in credit defaults this year, while areas including industrial production and fixed asset investment also lost momentum.
Earnings-per-share growth is currently forecast to be in the mid-teens, but we think that is likely to moderate going into 2019.
We remain relatively defensively positioned going into next year given the current environment, with most of our exposure concentrated in domestically-focused names and sectors showing long-term growth trends. We remain underweight to technology stocks given uncertainties brought about by regulatory headwinds. We prefer the energy sector given discipline on the supply side and on pricing. We also favour Chinese insurance companies, and names benefiting from domestic consumption, where we are seeing a pick-up in offline consumer activity.
Valuations for China equities have become more attractive and suggest upside for investors over the medium term. However, investors are likely to remain cautious in the near term given the likelihood of further cuts in earnings' forecasts, continued uncertainty on the trade front, and continued increases in US interest rates in the next few months.
Michael Grady, head of investment strategy and chief economist at Aviva Investors
In a slowing growth environment, investors tend to focus more on downside risks. Although the economic backdrop continues to provide a basis for positive returns for risk assets, expectations of more moderate growth and tighter global liquidity, and the impact of those risks, justify more restrained positioning.
We prefer to be overweight in US and emerging market equities because of the expected relative growth outperformance. Valuations in Europe look more attractive in some areas, but downside risks such as Brexit and the Italian budget continue to weigh on the outlook.
We are moderately underweight in government bonds as yields will continue to move higher on expectations that central banks will tighten policy in 2019. With spreads relatively tight by historical standards, we have a bigger underweight with regard to credit, including duration. Our preference is for European over US high yield due to its lower leverage and reduced sensitivity to oil prices. We have a slight preference for being long US dollars, with the main underweight against Australia on domestic challenges and Chinese growth risks.
Manish Singh, Crossbridge Capital
The year 2018 will go down as one of the best in the nine recent years of US economic expansion. The unemployment rate, at +3.7 per cent, remains at a 49-year low. US GDP rose by +3 per cent in Q3 from a year earlier, a rate of growth exceeded in only three other quarters in this expansion that began in March 2009. Inflation reached the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) target of +2 per cent without overshooting it and wage growth is inching up to +3 per cent (still well below the +4 per cent of past expansions).
Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, the year began with most major economies expanding - leading some to think that Europe was going to expand at an even faster rate than the year before. By the third quarter, output in Germany - the eurozone's largest economy - had contracted and the eurozone is expected to grow at sub +1 per cent rate this year. Japan has also seen a slowdown and as China's economy and global trade volumes slowed, many Central Banks globally took a step back from sounding hawkish on interest rates.
I expect equities will rise post the Fed meeting this week as the dovish views finally get priced in. The US economy is set to grow at over +2 per cent rate in 2019. This leaves a window for equities and other risk assets to show renewed strength given the recent sell-off. The US economy does not need a tax cut. In fact, a tax cut will be counterproductive and it may overheat the economy, get the Fed to step in and raise rates and cause a recession in 2019.
I still recommend an overweight position in equities with a bias to US equities and sectoral bias to – industrials, technology, financials and healthcare. Despite the news of a yield curve inversion at the front end (2-year and 5-year), I put the probability of a recession in the US next year at very low. The US economy is set to grow at over +2 per cent rate in 2019.

……….expressed a relieved Miner FSAE team member late today, but the day's outcome was much better than feared.
Not better than expected, because they didn't come in thinking they'd fail, but with FSAE Lincoln being the season wrap-up they wanted to do well. Some just spent too much time worrying about what might go wrong. At day's end the S&T #3 car had passed tech, tilt table, the muffler sound test (which stymied them for a while in Michigan), and every other possible challenge available to them.
They were delighted to get some time on the practice track "scrubbing" a new set of tires, and a quick study shows that S&T Racing's car is handling beautifully. Fast, tight, accurate, and problem-free. Good news for tomorrow.
Bad news for the other top teams.
In the morning it's acceleration, braking, skid pad and a host of other dynamic events, wrapping up with the afternoon autocross event. The threatened storms are well off to the east so tomorrow's weather looks great. Slight chance of storms for Saturday's all important endurance race.

Return trip - on the up but where's the spa?
"Returned here having stayed on promo trip >2 years before. Development hadn't moved on like I'd expected (thought there was to be a spa being built, more appartments) but it was great. I'd have been disappointed if I'd bought last time though. The large 1 bed appartment was lovely. Very well equipped and clean. Enjoyed meals in RCC and over in L'Estancia. Also nice snacks near the pool. Very friendly and efficient staff. (There are RCC staff and then there are Timeshare/Sales reps too so shouldn't confuse the two.) That said, reps were friendly too and far less pushy than when stayed last time. We were approached but as not on a promotion there was no obligation to have a tour so we simply said no thanks. Other than a call to check we hadn't changed our minds, that was that. (BTW kissing on each cheek is a normal greeting and not meant to offend like some people seem to have been. Maybe its just us Brits who find it a bit OTT.) We had a car for a few days but otherwise used the free shuttle bus which worked out really well. Normally took bus down and taxied back for convenience though. (Cheaper than car hire still and meant could have a drink.) Will almost certainly go back in another couple of years (go Tenerife every year) but just hope they have got that promised spa and moved on with resort."

"We stayed at the Regency Country Club last June and loved it. The apartment was wonderful, very spacious with 4 poster bed, jacuzzi, and a large balcony. In the kitchen was everything you need including coffee maker, microwave, fridge freezer, even down to a juicer. The Infinity pool is wonderful with a swim up poolbar that was fun. There were adult only areas too where you can relax with double Cabana sun beds. For children there did seem lots going on, but I didn't really take too much notice as we were thier on our own. The children had thier own pool too. It is situated a little out of the way but we liked that as it was quiet and peaceful, plus there is a free bus runs all the time to take you into town and the beach. Also we found it was a little cooler which was nice as the days we did go to the beach we found it too hot for us! The tempreture on the whole was perfect and although sometimes some cloud we still went home with beautiful tans. From Los Cristianos you can get busses to all over the island if you don't want to hire a car, which we didn't. On the negative side there is a half built building down and across the other side of the main road but it is quite a long way away and the building has stopped, we were told it was going to be a hospital but they have run out of money to complete it! So there is no noise and it certainly doesn't impare on your stay there. We did book this on the phone as a promotional holiday and had been told we would be shown around the resort. The rep who took us round was lovely and although after a couple of hours we were free to go we actually spent longer, chatting because we enjoyed her company. There was certainly no hard pressure to buy. All in all we loved it. We were very lucky as we only paid 200 pounds each for our stay there whereas other people had paid somewhere around 1,000 pounds but even those that we spoke to had said and it was worth every penny."

"The apartments are fabulous. Very well equipped with sky TV, dvd player, music system. Everything you need in the kitchen, lovely furnishings and cleaned every day. The pool is lovely though the outlook is grim. The only view is of a half built hospital. Not attractive. Also, as the resort is up the mountain, tends to be under a cloud when the sun is shinning on the coast. We had a car so were able to go to the beach where it was really sunny. Very isolated area. One restaurant, La Estancia which was fanstastic but you wouldn't want to go every night. Nothing else in the vicinity. Small supermaket on site, very expensive and very limited stock. Food in the on site restaurant (mostly snacks) not good quality. The hotel staff were lovely, all very friendly. Now the beware!!!! A rep comes to see you the day after you check-in to introduce themselves and book you in for the presentation two days later. Our rep was called Kim. She becomes your new best friend! Over friendly, kisses you goodbye even though you've only just met. Invites you to drinks at the local restaurant, gives you a lift in her car to another restaurant, joins you for a drink there, all very pally. Then the presentation. Over 5 hours of sell. 10 oclock til gone 3. What a waste of a day (one of the few we were not under the cloud!) They do not understand the meaning of no thankyou. The more you say it the more they push you. They bring other people to try and get you to say yes. Ask you all sorts of questions about your finances (and funnily enough you find yourself telling this complete stranger everything, clever). A long face when you eventually get away. They still talk to you for the next few days when they ring to see if you've changed your mind. After that forget it. They've already got their claws into another unsuspecting prey. We've all got to make a living but how do these people sleep at night. Don't go, find somewhere near the beach if you want the sun and enjoy a hassle free holiday with no false people hassling you."

"We were invited to the Regency Country Club as a promotional tour. It cost only £299 for the week! whilst we were optimistic as to the Ownership element but we were pleasantly surprised. Upon arriving the staff were friendly and our room (310) was out of this world. 2 Storey with 4 poster bed, 2 bathrooms etc and terrace/balcony had views over the infinity pool. The rep (who called himself our concierge) introduced himself the day after we arrived and we booked in for the tour 2 days later. At the themed night the reps were clearly visible, ours shook hands and then proceeded to kiss me on the cheek - not professional when had only just met! The tour started at 10.15 and we managed to have it ended by 12.15p.m. that said we were not pressurised and were able to enjoy the rest of our holiday. weather was great. the shop needs to be open more during the day - shuts at 12.30 and does not re-open until 5.30p.m. All in all a relaxing holiday - i would say it was like being at a health spa all week - bliss. would definately recommend it although not to purchase as very pricey!

Fabulous hotel
"My partner and I have just returned from a week at the Regency Country Club. We exchanged our timeshare week from Portugal to this unit as it was stated to be a gold crown resort. We were not disappointed. The hotel is fabulous with great attention paid to detail to ensure the Bali theme is maintained throughout. The unit is fabulous with a huge, four poster bed and every home comfort catered for. The maid service is excellent with towels changed daily or whenever required, bed linen changed 3 times a week and daily room cleaning. The staff are very courteous, friendly and helpful at all levels from arriving at reception to bar staff to maid service. The infinity pool is great, including a jacuzzi and swim up pool bar. Unfortunately a new hospital for the south of Tenerife is currently being built directly in the view line whilst swimming in the infinity pool which is a bit of an eyesore! The only disparaging comment I have is that the resort is a little isolated which is not a problem if notified of prior to visit. I would definitely recommed a car as the hotel do provide a mini bus service into Los Cristianos and Americas but it is very infrequent and not really at convenient times. You may also need to be aware that phase 2 of the RCC construction is immediately next door and has a crane which is a bit of an eyesore. There were no signs of working on it whilst we were there and we were advised that construction would commence when the units were sold so there may be a time in the future when it will be very noisy. The hotel has 3 themed nights a week which include a buffet style meal with entertainment. The hotel has an excellent restaurant attached within a few minutes walk called La Estancia. I would recommed the restauarant. Apparantly one of the Corrs sisters had her wedding reception there last year. There is another excellent restaurant close by called Clarets which I would highly recommend also. However I would recommed that you take a taxi to it as it is at the top of a very steep hill. The taxi costs 3 euros. It is possible to walk back. Other than a small tapas bar there are no other restaurants or bars close by and this is when you would need transport. The beauty of the hotel is its complete peace and tranquillity which suited me and my partner but it may not suit someone looking for a livelier place. PS we managed to avoid the unwanted attentions of the sales team by ignoring their repeated attempts to ring the doorbell! Others were less unfortunate and the viewing took many hours we heard!"

Loved the 'infinity pool', shame about the view!
"We exchanged a week's timeshare with RCI for this resort, and the complimentary champagne went down well after a late flight. We asked via email for a 'welcome pack' as we were arriving late, and that was in the appt, had all the essentials. We loved the space in all rooms, especially the bathroom, the 4 poster bed and the balcony. The pool was fantastic, but it looked onto the building site of South Tenerife's hospital!! also to the right of us was a crane, ready to start on Phase 2 of the RCC.The sun loungers were good quality with thick cushions. We were a few miles up from Las Cristianos, but there was a courtesy bus to use, although the last one back was 17.30. The weather was hot, but cloudy because we were so high up - it was always sunny down by the coast. All in all, we had a good week, but beware of the mosquitos - I have never been bitten in any of the Canaries - but I came home with 50 bites, my husband had 60 !!"

So relaxing!!!
"The Regency Country Club was everything I expected it to be and more! The check in was efficient and the champagne greeting was delightful! The rooms are very luxurious and every picture displayed on the website is true to life! We had a lovely sea view and a great balcony. I'm a little confused as to peopleâs comments about there being no food some nights? Their restaurant La Estancia is open every day and night and serves some spectacular dishes! The pool is fantastic! You can swim in the infinity pool all day long as itâs heated. The whole holiday was the most relaxing experience I've ever had it was like a second honeymoon for me and my husband it was everything we wanted!"

Great Hotel, shame about the surounding area
"We were invited to this resort via a timeshare promotion. We are already time share owners and thought that it would give us a good opportunity to see what they had to offer. We were a little dubious about how good it would be, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that it was even better than we expected. The apartment was very spacious and had a very large terrace area for you to relax in. The pool area was magnificent. We have 2 children who had a wonderful time in the pool and the play area. There was a childrenâs club that they could go in and out of that was based in the play area. My only concern was that the pool area was very quiet and relaxing so I was aware that the children should not get to noisy, but most people seemed to enjoy watching them play. The bar and snack area was good and the lunch time food was very good. They lay on 3 theme nights that are very good value for money and we hade a great time. We only have a couple of complaints, they do not do food every night, so you need to go else where, we like to walk around the area that we stay in and you couldnât as the paths would just stop and it is very hilly. It would have been nice to have a couple of bars near by to visit with out going into one of the main towns. The timeshare presentation took nearly a whole day but it was not high pressured and we thought that it was too expensive. This hotel is great if you just want to relax and unwind"

Not 5 star service
"The place looks amazing and is well kitted out. Looks like a 5 star resort but unfortunately the service does not come up to scratch, The staff are friendly and helpful but have no discretion to solve any difficult issues. The place is full of time share sales people having coffee and chatting which was not professional and once they gather you have no interest in the timeshare (we paid thousands for apartment rentals and made it clear from the outset we were NOT interested in timeshare), the service level deteriorated visibly further. The restaurant is only open 3 times a week, bizarre and watch out for the Butlins type entertainment. One night there was a vulgar drag show which would belittle a 1 star establishment, let alone a supposed 5 star exclusive resort! The resort was altogether a strange concoction, don't think management really know who their market is and what they are trying to achieve. We will NOT be going back. Overall looks like a 5 star place but feels like a 3 star resort."

Great rooms
"Loved the hotel, the pool was amazing although very cold which we thought was down to the constant running water from the lions head fountains. The rooms were really nice, clean and tidy and the bathrooms were stunning. We also had a roof balcony. The only problem was that we felt a bit isolated with it being so far from the town. I like to be able to wander off alone and definitely felt that I couldn't here because of the main road into Los Cristianos."

Giant Bubble Liquid
Author/Submitted by: Servings: 1Categories:
Mix the dish detergent with the water. (Measure carefully, it makes a big difference. Stir. Add the glycerine (you can usually get this in a drug store), this makes more durable bubbles. You can bend a wire coat hanger into a circle and wind a string around it. Depending on how big you make your circle, you get great big bubbles. The string helps in getting the liquid to stay on the circle. You can also use straws and string-Tie a 2 1/2 foot length of string through 2 straws and unleash square <G> bubbles. The trick is to dip your string and straw thing into the solution, then wave it through the air. Break the bubble off by flipping the apparatus up a bit. Plain straws make good bubble pipes. Also try using the plastic strawberry baskets, they make lots of little bubbles. It is fun to experiment with all different bubble makers. Big-time bubble making is a bit like fishing. You'll have much better luck in cool wet weather. Early evenings, nighttime and early mornings are often good. Just after a rain is ideal. Don't throw any leftovers away either. The longer your solution sits, the better it gets.

Shuda, Disappearing in the Sky is the 17th episode of the Rave Master anime. It first aired on February 2, 2002 and the English version on October 9, 2004.
Haru Glory and Shuda continue their battle, while Hamrio Musica battles against Poosya and Rugar alone. Shuda uses the Ballettänzer Flare regardless, causing a massive explosion. Meanwhile, Elie, Musica, Plue, and Griffon Kato find an underground base, where Poosya and Rugar are hiding.
Haru, exhausted, confronts Shuda while Plue is hanging from the edge of the invisible floor to prevent himself from falling. Shuda complements Haru's fighting spirit and notes that he looks serious. Shuda attacks Haru with his Dark Bring, Ballettänzer Flare, once more. Haru tells Shuda that he battles for the people he loves and that he won't lose because he believes in love. Haru runs towards Shuda but is stopped by another one of Shuda's explosion attacks. Meanwhile, Elie, still unconscious, and Musica fight Poosya and Rugar. As Poosya is about to use his Glue Tear, they notice that Musica disappears but quickly reappears behind them punching Poosya. Rugar tries to use his Delta Cannon but Musica dodges it easily and grabs Rugar's face. After Musica releases his face, Rugar and Poosya combine their attacks to create Omega Ray. Musica uses his Silver Shield to block it.
Musica manages to evade all of their attacks. Rugar and Poosya surround Musica to prevent him from escaping. However, in the nick of time, Elie wakes up and uses her Tonfa Blasters to knock Rugar down. As Musica walks towards Poosya, Poosya tells him that he can still attack any way he wants. When Poosya uses his attack, Musica deflects it with his Silver Whip. Leaving Poosya amazed. Musica subsequently states that he can use his Silver any way he wants, and grabs Poosya with his whip to send him flying and then his Silver Spear to finish him off.
After Musica and Elie finish their battle, they notice that Haru is having difficulty fighting Shuda. Haru notices the cut on Shuda's face and states that Shuda is not immortal and that he has discovered his Dark Bring's weakness. Haru says that Shuda's Dark Bring doesn't just affect one person. Rather it blows up the whole area. Shuda then begins to kick Haru telling him to get away. However, Haru stands his ground stating that he has sealed Shuda's Dark Bring. However, Shuda begins to laugh and tells Haru not to underestimate Shuda's explosion and uses his explosion on both. Below, Elie wonders if there is a way to help Haru, but Musica tells her that this is Haru's battle.
Once the smoke clears up, Haru and Shuda are both out of breath. Shuda then tells Haru that there is no way to stop his Dark Bring. Elie still thinks that they have to help Haru out but Musica disagrees with her. Soon after they begin to argue, guns come out of the ground and begin to shoot at Elie, Musica, and Griff. The one controlling the guns is Poosya from inside the ship. Musica breaks some of the guns but more keep coming. Shuda prepares to use another attack. However, Plue comes in front of Haru and defends him. Shuda still attacks Haru and sends Plue flying off the invisible floor. Haru collapses and so does Shuda. Shuda notices that Haru has taken more hits than he has but somehow is still standing.
Plue reaches the ground and makes a hole where he lands. Elie, Musica, and Griff go inside the hole to avoid the guns. Elie decides to help Haru out on her own since Musica thinks they should not interfere. Musica hears Elie's scream and turns around to see Elie held captive by Rugar. Meanwhile, Haru continues to struggle with Shuda. Haru then thinks of a strategy to defeat Shuda. Once Shuda uses his explosion, Haru changes the Ten Commandments' form to Silfarion and attacks Shuda landing several hits. However, Shuda still has enough power to stab Haru with his sword in his right shoulder.
As Rugar is about to pick up Musica's Silver Claiming, Elie uses her Tonfa Blasters to stop him. As soon as Musica heads to pick up his Silver Claiming, Rugar takes it first, overjoyed to see Elie again calling it fate. Elie quickly shots Rugar and Musica takes his Silver Claiming back and defeats Rugar for a second time. Elie and Musica head to the control room. Griff looks around and notices that the machine man, Rugar, is not around. Elsewhere, Rugar actives the self-destruction on the ship. Musica hands Elie his phone telling her to call his buddies. Musica then takes the phone away from Elie and begins to talk with Hebi, telling him to go and save them at coordinates TJSC 2923 in five minutes.
Shuda swings his sword ready to kill Haru. However, Haru gets up and blocks his attack. Haru uses his Explosion and breaks Shuda's sword and defeats him sending him flying off the platform. As Shuda loses hope, Haru comes and grabs his hand and prevents him from falling. Shuda then questions Haru's action. Haru tells him that he does not want to see anyone die. Shuda admits defeat and gets ready to use an explosion on his right hand. However, before he does, he tells Haru to continue walking down his own path, just like his father did.

Jenny and Daniel were a fantastic bride and groom who recently had a wedding at First Baptist Church on Oak St in Asheville NC and then a great wedding reception just around the corner at the Century Room at Pack's Tavern on S Spruce St. They did a great job and all of their friends and family had a wonderful time. It was a pleasure to be their wedding photographer! Best of luck guys!
Some cool history about the church from their website http://www.fbca.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=58 :
Through the years, First Baptist Church has provided substantial leadership in local and worldwide denominational and ecumenical efforts. It has participated in the founding and nurture of at least a dozen churches in the Asheville community. When our church's history was published, seventy-six former members of the church were serving in church-related vocations. Of these, twenty-six were pastors, seventeen were foreign missionaries, eight were ministers of education, and four were teachers of religion, social service ministers, chaplains and home missionaries.
Today, First Baptist Church is busy at worship and work. The membership participates in programs for children and youth, choirs, Bible study and missions education. Church members provide key assistance in local, state, and global efforts, as well as helping in Habitat for Humanity, Asheville-Buncombe Christian Community Mission, and many other like efforts for community good. As has been true through the years, "The field is the world."
The Architecture of the Building
The present church building, and fifth of First Baptist's worship facilities, was designed by architect Douglas D. Ellington and was completed in 1927. It is one of Asheville's greatest architectural treasures, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In a time when trends in architecture and fine art were headed toward the Modernism of the early 20th Century, the design of this 65,000 square foot facility represents a collection of ideas and styles. The plan arrangement of major forms and spaces is predominantly based on Beaux Arts planning concepts that stress formality and symmetry. With the surrounding mountains forming a backdrop, this arrangement which combines varieties of building heights and mass fits pleasantly within its context.
Ellington based the design of the sanctuary space on the famous cathedral and dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, Italy. Santa Maria del Fiore was the first domed space built during the Renaissance and was considered a feat of engineering in its day. It consisted of two self-supporting masonry domes, an outer and an inner, with a space in between that is fully accessible to its peak. The First Baptist dome, constructed of steel ribs, utilizes a similar concept, yet is accessible only at its base.
The character of the church is essentially derived from Renaissance architecture. Many of the decorative details represent ecclesiastical images and forms found in nature. One example, an abstracted palm leaf, occurs on much of the interior and on all the original sanctuary furnishings, which were also designed by the architect. Due to renovations most of these furnishings have been replaced. The palm leaf among other details brings out Ellington's sensitivity to the natural environment and enriches the building's overall character.
Upon completion, First Baptist Church immediately took its place as a monument and symbol for our city. This project was one of Ellington's first major commissions and received fervent praise both by the public and the national architectural community. As a result, Ellington moved his practice to Asheville and consequently was hired to design many of our city's other great buildings. Some of these include the Asheville City Hall, Asheville High School and the S&W Cafeteria. Many of Ellington's ideas initiated in First Baptist Church were developed in greater detail for these other structures.
And some facts about the Century Rom from their website http://packstavern.com/venues/centuryroom/ :
The Century Room offers a beautiful turn of the century ballroom overlooking Pack Square Park and The Bascom Lamar Lunsford Stage, the Park's amphitheatre. High ceilings, exposed wood trusses and brick walls create a wonderful atmosphere for your event. It offers a large stage with a backdrop of downtown Asheville. There is a HD projector with a 120" screen available on the stage for HD TV, PowerPoint presentations, or for your personal DVD or musical presentation. The Century Room also offers an incorporated central audio system featuring a wireless microphone.

Our Event Specialist will provide personalized suggestions for creating custom food and drink menus, decorations, entertainment, and anything else that the occasion requires and will ensure no detail is overlooked.

Bosch Rexroth AG, a long-established global manufacturing company, runs an energy efficiency consultancy called GoGreen at its headquarters in the Bavarian town of Lohr am Main. GoGreen's purpose is to examine and improve the energy efficiency of the company's production plants worldwide. To this end, GoGreen works closely with institutes, as well as technology partners such as Rittal, to test possible solutions. One of the most important research projects which GoGreen is involved in is the "Eta-Fab" (energy efficiency, technology and application centre) project at the Technical University of Darmstadt. The project is headed by the University's Institute for Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools (PTW); a facility that can closely replicate conditions and processes used in the Rexroth plant in Elchingen, allowing effective and accurate testing of potential innovations in areas such as improving the energy efficiency of machine tools.Retrofitting CNC lathesAmong the products made at the Elchingen plant are hydraulic pumps and motors for mobile machines. Many of the components for the hydraulic power units are manufactured on a CNC lathe which has a total connected load of 75 kVA and runs for up to six days a week in three-shift operation.CNC lathes need their spindles to be cooled to dissipate the heat generated by the drive technology – and this is typically achieved through liquid cooling. The GoGreen team examined what would be the impact of replacing the existing compressor cooling unit on the lathe, with a new Rittal Blue e+ Chiller. The Blue e+ delivers the cooling medium and its DC compressor, controlled by an inverter, generates the necessary cooling output in the chiller. A circuit then transports the cooling medium to the spindles. An impressive increase in energy efficiencyThe test demonstrated that the Blue e+ could reduce energy consumption significantly. Leo Pototzky, GoGreen Project Manager, Bosch Rexroth, said of the trial: "The Rittal Blue e+ chiller consumes 50 per cent less electrical energy than the old chiller, while the saving achieved by the cooling unit in the enclosure even exceeded 80 per cent. This example shows us that a great potential still exists in many sectors."Ease of useThe trial also highlighted how easy the Blue e+ is to operate. The control panel with its touch display communicates to operators in plain text, and in up to 21 different languages. This means that operators receive clear information and updates in status, which allows them to respond quickly to any issues.The Blue e+ App communicates with the cooling units via NFC (Near Field Communication, an international transmission standard based on RFID technology for contactless data exchange), allowing important information to be transmitted wirelessly; a functionality which is especially important when a number of chillers have been configured. It allows operators easy operational oversight and facilitates a swift response, if required.Further information at www.rittal.co.uk

In 2019 and beyond, learning and development (L&D) strategies shouldn't just be implemented by corporations or enterprises alone. Why? Because L&D will be the most innovative department for any organization for the next decade or so, regardless of its shape or size.
If you're a small business owner or work for a small business, here's why you'll need to invest in developing and implementing an L&D strategy right now.
Use an L&D Strategy to Recruit Top Talent
According to research, professional growth and long-term career opportunities are important to new talent, especially Millennials. New hires are beginning to demand that organizations of all sizes provide them with ample L&D opportunities as part of their benefits packages and everyday work environments, and they won't want to work for organizations that don't offer them high-quality L&D opportunities.
So, if you're interested in recruiting top talent for your small business, you'll need to invest in implementing an L&D strategy that will appeal to your job candidates and their desired career trajectories and goals.
Upskill and Retain Your Employees with an L&D Strategy
With the steady and rapid pace of technological innovation, employees need to be constantly upskilled in today's workforce, regardless of their industries, professions, or roles. And you will need to develop and implement an L&D strategy for your small business and its employees so that it can consistently retain a knowledgeable and productive workforce.
Otherwise, you will risk losing your employees to your competitors, as employees are 12 times more likely to leave a company that doesn't offer them learning, development, and career-growth opportunities.
Also, research indicates that training and upskilling employees are more cost-effective than constantly hiring new employees, so developing and implementing an L&D strategy is ideal for small businesses. And you'll need an L&D strategy to maintain a healthy bottom line for your small business, too.
An L&D Strategy Ensures Your Small Business's Continual Growth
When you're able to attract and retain high-quality talent for your small business with a well-thought-out L&D strategy, you'll also be able to ensure its continual growth. You'll be able to develop your small business's future leaders, ensuring that they have the skills they need to scale your small business, as well as the skills they need to ensure its constant revenue-generating power.
Essentially, when your employees remain engaged with your relevant and personalized L&D strategies, they will invest their talents and careers back into your small business from the first day they start working.
Be sure to consider the information in this post if you're a small business owner or operator who is on the fence about whether it's essential to develop and implement an L&D strategy—and if you're interested in keeping your small business competitive.
