When I was in the midst of breast cancer treatment, a envisioned a day like today when I could say that I felt perfectly healthy and strong. I thought once I got through the battle, my life would finally be perfect. But of course it never is. Last fall, I watched Joe fight valiantly for sobriety. Now he's six months sober and acts like a different person--but in a good way.
But now I have my brother to worry about. His leg that they radiated on for sarcoma cancer has given him his eighth infection. He's had a fever for two weeks and his toe has turned black. Apparently, the knee replacement he had last December has done little to keep the blood flowing all the way down his leg. The vascular veins have shriveled up due to the cumulative effects of radiation. I'm taking him to Mass General in Boston next week, but I fear the worst, that his leg will have to be amputated.
There's nothing I can do but be supportive, and help make his life more comfortable. So you see, the diagnosis of cancer sometimes comes back to bite you in unpredictable ways.
I can already see that my mother will adopt to being a widow perfectly. She wasted no time clearing my father's clothes out of the closet and donated all of it to The Cancer Research Fund. She's on her way. It's just my brother I worry about. He's extremely depressed. Please pray for him.

A.W. Tozer has written:
"Every age has its own characteristics. Right now we are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart. The shallowness of our inner experience, the hollowness of our worship, and that servile imitation of the world which marks our promotional methods all testify that we in this day, know God only imperfectly, and the peace of God scarcely at all.
If we would find God amid all the religious externals, we must first determine to find Him, and then proceed in the way of simplicity."
–A.W. Tozer (The Pursuit of God, p. 17-18)
Busyness, if it is to be relevant to God's purposes, must emerge out of the presence of God. First, be with God. Dwell in Christ. Then, as Christ instructs, do. The church is to be a movement that is presence-driven rather than a mass of program-busyness that leave people too exhausted and time-spent to abide in Christ.

Epilogue Summary and Analysis
In the Epilogue, Neely returns to the historiography to flesh out comments in Chapter 8 and set the historical record straight on what can and cannot be learned about civil liberties from the Civil War. Lincoln never discusses most of the arrests described in this book, instead too heartily defending his constitutional right to order them. The Corning letter explains why dissent cannot be safely tolerated and even silence can be a crime. He speaks of habeas corpus more s a symbol of American freedom than a specific legal instrument, and this mythic approach has been followed in most history books since the Civil War.
Historical literature on civil liberties in the Civil War is meager and unsatisfying. The only book-length scholarly treatise is Randall's Constitutional Problems under Lincoln (1926). There are many noisy denunciations of Lincoln's record between the Civil War and...

That very night he was invited to dine with his friend, and made his resolution to live by his pen. He commenced his articles in the journals, writing at first criticisms upon theatrical performances. He at once commenced his system of flattering those who paid him well either in praise or gold, and denouncing authors and actors who were independent of him.
His kind aunt now died, after having expended her last franc, and Janin took up a new residence. He soon acquired such fame in his critical writings, that he was at ease. He engaged with the Figaro journal, and contributed powerfully to its success. He was, of course, well paid for his services. He fell in love with a young girl in humble life. An artist did the same. The two men quarreled about her, and Janin wrote a book in which the woman was the heroine. But he was unsuccessful—the young woman married the painter and was happy. Janin rose to the highest position as a fashionable critic in Paris, and still he has never acquired beyond France the reputation of a profound critic and scholar.
In October, 1841, he was married, and instead of spending a pleasant evening, he celebrated his marriage by going to his room and writing a newspaper article, greatly to his prejudice amongst his friends. Of late it has been remarked, that Jules Janin is less imperious in his criticisms than he was formerly. He has been very severely reviewed by Dumas and Roqueplan, and has behaved more wisely since.
We have not sketched Jules Janin as a great man, but as a man who makes great pretensions, and who has long been acknowledged, in Paris and France, as the prince of critics.
Almost every fine square in Paris has a high-sounding name, For instance, that spot which has been the theater of so much tragedy, upon which so much human blood has been poured, is called the Place de la Concorde. It much more appropriately might be called the Place of Blood. So there are other, many other spots in Paris, which deserve a scarlet title, and when wandering a stranger through its streets, whenever I came to one of these, I was strongly inclined to stop and indulge in reverie. The past history of France and Paris arose before my mind, and I could not, if I would, away with it. The characters who acted parts in Paris and perished in those places were before me, and their histories lent a powerful interest to the spot upon which they suffered and died. The reader can have no adequate idea of the feelings with which a stranger visits these places of sad memories, unless he recalls them to mind, nor will it be out place for me to do so.

It stars Kate Winslet, Jody Foster and Christopher Waltz. Three great actors with three great performances by the looks of the international trailer.

Passing of Deacon Don DeRoze
Deacon Donald (Don) G. DeRoze was born November 21, 1934 and went home to the Lord on August 4, 2015. Deacon Don, as many remember him, worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency for many years retiring as a Senior Official. However, before retiring and at the age of 51, in 1986, he was ordained to the Deaconate of the Catholic Church. Deacon Don joined the Knights of Columbus in 1989 and became a Fourth Degree member of the Knights of Columbus in April of 1991. During his time with Knights of Columbus, Deacon Don consistently offered a monthly Communion service to his home council brothers of Bishop Thomas W. Lyons Council, #9808. The council meets at the Church of the Resurrection in Burtonsville, Maryland where Deacon Don was a member of the congregation. This Communion service was always very well attended and appreciated by the Knights of the Bishop Lyons Council. Deacon Don also offered his services as a Deacon to the Fourth Degree, Archbishop Michael Curley Assembly #383 in College Park, Maryland. Deacon Don will always be remembered for his many inspiring and thoughtful sermons at the Church of the Resurrection while serving the Parish for many years before retiring due to illness and age. The Members of the Knights of Columbus miss him, pray for him and have added his name to the daily Masses said at Saint Mary's Parish in New Haven, Connecticut where the Order was founded. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let Your perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in Peace. Amen. — Frank Klem, PGK

Nine Winning Tactics For Financial Advisors Hot
By way of background, Tiburon says the winning tactics first emerged in 1980s and were further highlighted in Bob Veres' paper The Future of the Financial Advisory Business published in 2010.
According to Tiburon, the tactics fall into the following categories: target marketing, sales and marketing strategies, investment management strategies, client service strategies, staffing and compensation strategies, firm cultures, technology and outsourcing, industry networking, and mergers and acquisitions.
And the success of firms that employ one or more of the winning tactics can be measured in one or more of the following ways: clients, spending, revenue and net profits.
According to Tiburon, the firms that employ winning tactics have witnessed the number of clients grow in total from 3.1 million in 2007, to 3.4 million in 2010. In addition, net profit has risen from $800 million in 2007 to $1 billion in 2010.
Four Key Benefits to Target Marketing
The first of the nine keys to success, according to Tiburon, is what they call target marketing. There are, says Tiburon, four key benefits to target marketing:
1. Increased prospecting results. "Target marketing will lead to improved prospecting results due to an increase in real and perceived value. One's reputation spreads much faster in niche markets than in broad markets. Having a niche will positively affect public relations. Able to better use time and money. Become known as the expert. Present your knowledge of detailed specific issues."
2. Increased reputation and public relations. "One's reputation spreads much faster in niche markets than in broad markets. Having a niche will positively affect public relations."
3. Increased time and financial efficiency. "Able to better use time and money."
4. Decreased competition. "Competition decreases as advisors establish themselves as experts in a particular niche."
(For the record, we posted last week a story about the need to develop a niche for your practice. Read Advisors Must Develop A Niche To Survive and Thrive.)
According to Tiburon, one way to consider target marketing is by segmenting households in America by investable assets:
1. Middle America has less than $100,000 in investable assets. According to Tiburon, there are nearly 80 million households in America that fall into this segment, many of which are un-served by the financial services industry. Advisors who pursue this segment need to watch profitability closely so as not to "over-serve" clients. In fact, Tiburon research suggests that this segment is the "fools market." With everyone focusing on "the high net worth market, there may be some significant opportunities in the mass market, but profitability is questionable."
2. There are nearly 24 million households with investable assets between $100,000 and $1 million. Tiburon labels this segment "moderate net worth" and it's growing rapidly. Despite that growth, Tiburon warns that "the mass affluent will probably offer some opportunities, but the cost to serve this market is sizably greater."
3. The high net worth segment, which totals 4.3 million households, has investable assets of $1 million to $5 million. The segment, says Tiburon, is being courted by many full-service brokers, most bank trust departments, and many fee-only advisors. This segment tends to want institutional products such as separate account wraps and alternative asset classes. It also needs wealth management services.
4. The ultra-high net worth segment, which totals 253,000 households, has investable assets of more than $5 million. According to Tiburon, it's increasingly difficult to anticipate the needs of this market. Among other things, advisors need expertise in specialized investments such as hedge funds, art, and the like. Plus, advisors serving this market or attempting to service this market need to attain "higher designations to gain creditability."
Six Methods To Segment Potential Customers
In its report, Tiburon noted that financial advisors can use at least six methods to segment potential consumers based on age, investable assets, other financial factors, occupations (such as corporate executives, small- and medium-sized business owners, or professional occupations), sources of wealth (such as new money or IRA rollovers), and a variety of other factors (such as gender, ethnicity, or marital status, for instance). But no matter the method or methods, Tiburon says firms using target market marketing will be the most successful.
Aged-based segments would include, for instance, the World War II generation (born prior to 1946), baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964 and for which there are extensive opportunities), generation x (born between 1965 and 1980), and generation Y (born since 1980).
As for investable assets, Tiburon notes that households in the U.S. had in total $23 trillion in assets in 2008, and that the median net worth of households age 65 and older is $140,000. Tiburon says the moderately affluent may provide the best opportunity.
As for occupations, Tiburon says fee-only financial advisors report that 32% of their clients are small- and medium-sized business owners, 27% are corporate executives, and 23% are in professional occupations. And advisors who serve corporate executives would be served to learn the ins and outs of working with corporate executives who own their company's stock. That target has at least 31% of their investable assets in company stock.
When you examine the sources of wealth among affluent Americans, Tiburon's report notes that much of their money comes from their job and stock options (47%). Business ownership accounts for 26%; inheritance, 16%; and investing, 11%.
One interesting tidbit from the report has to do with baby boomers and their intentions post-retirement. One in five plan to stop working altogether. Some three in 10 plan to work part time for interest or enjoyment; 25% plan to work for income; 15% plan to start their own business; 7% plan to begin a new career; and 3% have other plans.
According to Tiburon, numerous occupational, ethnic, and other segments also provide terrific opportunities. For instance, by 2050, there will be 33 million Asian Americans, 103 million Hispanics, 62 million African-Americans, and 210 million Caucasians.

"O Great Diana, Queen of all Witches, hear my adoration. Hear my voice as I speak Your praises. Receive my words as they rise heavenward, when the Full Moon brightly shining fills the heavens with Your beauty. See me for I come before You, and reach my hand up to You. As the Full Moon shines upon me, give me all Your blessings.
O Great Goddess of the Moon, Goddess of the Mysteries of the Moon, teach me secrets yet revealed, ancient rites of invocation that the Ancient Ones spoke of, for I believe. When they spoke of Your timeless glory, when they said to entreat You, and when seeking for knowledge to seek and find you above all others.
Give me powers, O Most Secret Lady, to bind my enemies. Receive me as Your child, receive me though I am earth bound. When my body lies resting nightly, speak to my inner spirit, teach me all Your Holy Mysteries. I believe Your ancient promises that all who seek Your Holy Presence will receive of Your wisdom.
Behold, I Ancient Goddess, I have come beneath the Full Moon at this appointed time. Now the Full Moon shines upon me. Hear me and recall Your Ancient Promise. Let Your Glory shine upon me. Bless me, O Gracious Queen of Heavens. In your name, so mote it be."

From Kalaloch Lodge, we headed to Seattle via the Olympic National Park. One of the things we wanted to do on this trip was hike in a temperate rainforest.
We were able to stop by Lake Quinalt and do just that! (Be sure to click the images to see more detail.)
Some of the trees were hard to identify by their trunks, because they were just completely covered in moss. We were startled by one tree (above) when we saw it was a MAPLE. What? How crazy is that??
The other thing that was just completely mind-boggling was the fact that there were NO BUGS. What? You can go hiking in a rainforest and not be carried away or eaten alive?? Unbelievable! (But true!)
The above photos do not do this temperate rainforest justice. It was an amazingly magical place!
After our hike, we headed on into Seattle. This time, our hotel was close to the Space Needle. We discovered that our room was on the other side of the building from the Space Needle, but we still had a view of it!
You get the picture (or three), but here it is again!
The next day, we met a friend who lives in the area and we went to explore things we'd not had a chance to the last time we were in Seattle.
And just like that, it was time to head home. When we travel, we pack efficiently. No one believes us, but here's our luggage. All three of us share the big red bag. The two backpacks are carry-ons, as is my red bag. We also brought along two tote bags that fold up into tiny pouches, but we didn't even need them! Yeah!
Another trick? We have a luggage scale. That big red suitcase is 48.5 lbs on the nose, baby! (We try to leave some wiggle room when dealing with the 50 lb weight limit.)
We had such an amazing trip. These photos are just the tip of the ice-berg, and these memories will last a lifetime.

If you're looking for the perfect Ascot hat, look no further than Sarah Cant Couture Millinery. Sarah makes the most striking and elegant hats. I adore how structural yet feminine her hats are, as well as how much energy and fluidity they exude.
Collaborating with Sarah to create a bespoke hat is one of the highlights of my blogging career. Below, I share the creative process of this hatmaking experience and reveal the stunning work of art that Sarah made for me (scroll to the bottom if you just can't wait!).
During our first meeting in her sun-filled studio, Sarah was kind enough to let us have a glimpse into her life, learn what it means (and takes!) to be a milliner, and talks us through the bespoke process in her words. (You can watch the interview here.) At the end, Sarah indulged me and I was able to try on a few of those gorgeous creations!
Can you feel the vibrant energy of these hats?
The Brainstorming Begins
We began the brainstorming by discussing the possible events where I could wear this hat – the time of year, the setting, and the dress code. I won't be attending any races this season but have a few weddings to attend from August to November. The locations are very different (a farm in Stratford-upon-Avon, a castle in Belgium, and a very cosmopolitan do in London!), so this was taken into consideration.
After trying on a variety of hats (YAY!), Sarah had already begun to brainstorm different ideas for the types of hats and styles that would suit me. I loved trying on the pale pink hat above that is a very 60s piece (think Jackie O) but ultimately I felt more comfortable in a smaller piece. I also fell in love with movement of the satin ribbons of a few of Sarah's hats; the ribbon looked like it was just casually blowing in the wind. The movement instantly resonated with me; even if it looks like I'm not doing much, my brain is still racing!
Sarah mentioned that we all naturally gravitate toward colors and shapes of hats – and it was love at first sight with that satin ribbon. We quickly decided on the base shape of the hat, and we chose the two colors of the hat based on the color palette I tend to wear: navy mixed with other neutrals, plus a splash of red lipstick.
Several Hat Samples
For our next meeting, Sarah had prepared eight sketches of possible hat trimmings. They were done on translucent paper, which were then placed on top of the pencil drawing of a head with my hat base. It was so easy to swap out the different options, especially if you need to see them over and over again to decide. As well as being very clever, the translucent sketches over the drawing brought the final hat idea to life.
As I mentioned earlier, the satin ribbon trimming was my favorite but I also loved other wire designs that I had seen on a few of Sarah's other hats. Sarah had also put aside a variety of red and blue laces and silks, which felt incredibly luxurious to the touch. She does such a wonderful job of choosing and sourcing the materials, which again made it difficult to choose. After a thirty minute deliberation, the materials were chosen! Before leaving that day, we also narrowed down the trimming choices to one wire and one satin design.
Trimmings Time
When I walked into the studio for our next appointment, the trimmings were ready – and the base of the hat was, too! We went back and forth with trimmings – it was such a hard decision to make! All of the options were beautiful. Sarah also had placed a black silk underneath the blue lace, as the navy we had originally chosen didn't allow the lace to really shine. I would have never noticed that it was black because the color of the lace tinted the silk navy.
The subtle change, in my eyes, displayed Sarah's attention to detail and professionalism. She didn't settle for an "okay" hat. Her work ethic, high standards, and experience led her to create the perfect alternative that would keep the intricate lace in the limelight, as we had decided.
We settled on a fit for the base, which comprised of trying on the base and altering it slightly to fit my head more snugly. Then we chose the trimming, which you will see below!
She's ready!
I was so excited when Sarah e-mailed to let me know that the hat was ready. When I walked into the studio a few days later, "she" was on the mannequin. I couldn't believe my eyes – there was my hat in all of her glory. I couldn't believe how gorgeous she was in person!
The hat was just what I wanted – classic, simple, and elegant. I couldn't wait to try it on. Sarah and I ran through how to put it on and how it should be worn, for my sake. For those that aren't entirely sure how to wear one, have no fear; she will go over it as many times as you need to. In reality, it isn't very difficult once you're shown once how to do it!
The Best Part
The highlight of this whole experience was, of course, Sarah. I was amazed by her ability to "see" the person she's working with: your face, your hair, your shape, and your personality and quirks. Her attention to detail extends far beyond her creations; she observes and weaves what she sees into her work. Sarah was able to create a hat that suits me entirely, embodies what I loved about her hats, and pairs well with my color palette, skin tone, and thick hair. Her warmth, professionalism, knowledge, passion for her craft, along with her endless creativity – which just flows out of Sarah, who was clearly born to be a maker – all come together to make unforgettable works of art and a remarkable experience for her collaborator.

Morgan Stanley has recruited advisors managing nearly $1.3 billion in assets.
In the larger of two moves, a team that managed $1.1 billion left Merrill Lynch to join Morgan.
The team, comprised of advisors Michael Torpey and Charles Malamut, joined Morgan's Northfield, N.J., office. The two advisors will report to Chris Shaw, Southern New Jersey complex manager at Morgan Stanley, according to a statement from the firm.
Torpey and Malamut had a combined annual production of about $3.5 million.
According to FINRA records, Torpey had been a financial advisor at Merrill Lynch since 2008. Prior to that, he worked at Citigroup and UBS. Malamut was a long-time advisor at Merrill, having started his career in 1986, the documents show.
Morgan also announced the addition of a J.P. Morgan Chase advisor who managed $175 million in assets. Jon Garofalo joined Morgan's Westport, Conn., office. At his previous firm, Garofalo generated $1.5 million in revenue.
The new additions dwarf Morgan's recent advisor losses to rival firms; last month Wells Fargo snapped up a team managing $348 million while Raymond James picked up a Morgan advisor duo managing $180 million.

Plainville, Conn. (CBS Connecticut) – The state's Department of Agriculture seized nearly 200 chickens from a condemned house in Plainville Friday.
Authorities say they picked up 193 chickens from the home on North Washington Street and some were suffering from a respiratory disease.
The owners, Joseph and Mary Honyak, had been allowed to return to the property to feed and maintain the chickens, but not live there.
Officials say animal neglect charges may be filed against the owners.

The olloclip 4-in-1 is a detachable lens system for the iPhone 5/5s and iPod Touch that allows you to take enhanced photos. Building on the success of the original olloclip® 3-in-1 solution, the olloclip 4-in-1 lens system has a sleek new design and superior optics. It works with all of your favorite apps in photo and video mode on your iPhone 5/5s or iPod Touch, and it's easy to clip on and use. The four new quick-change lenses capture incredible images like never before. The improved wide-angle and fisheye lenses deliver clearer images with less lens distortion overall. You now have your choice of two different macro lenses (10x, a focal distance of 18mm or 15x, a focal distance of 13mm), as well as an increased field of view horizontally and vertically in panorama mode.
Premium construction
The olloclip is built to stand up to long-term use, and it features precision-ground, coated glass multi-element optics for the lenses. The barrels are made from aircraft grade aluminum using a CNC machine and then anodized. The attachment is made from a soft, plastic material to ensure a secure fit every time.
Simple to use
Small enough to fit into a pocket when you're not using it, the olloclip attaches to your iPhone in seconds, and the lenses can be used in combination with any apps that utilize the rear-facing camera. To switch lenses, simply flip it over. To access either macro lens, simply unscrew and remove the wide-angle or fisheye lens.
Fisheye Lens
Capturing approximately 180-degrees field-of-view, the fisheye lens captures remarkable images.
Wide Angle
When you need some extra field of view, the wide angle lens is perfect – it gives you approximately double that of the normal iPhone camera lens. Give it a try next time you want to capture a beautiful landscape or have a large group of friends all trying to get in one shot.
Macro Lenses
Macros lenses are designed for extreme close-ups so that you can focus in on one detail – use it to zoom in on an unusual flower or a particularly fascinating insect.
Panorama 360 Plus
Create full 360-degree panoramic images with the olloclip 4-in-1.

Tackers is an introductory, fun, games-based sailing program designed for kids aged 7 to 12. Kids don't need to have any prior sailing experience. The only requirement is that they must be ready to have fun!! All equipment is provided.
If you have a child who is younger than 7 and is showing signs that they are keen to give sailing a try, it's possible to enrol them into a 2 hour taster. Little Tackers allows children to build confidence on and around the water while wearing their lifejackets. Small group size means safe, fun sessions on the water.
There are three levels to the Tackers program that your child can progress through:
Programs are either delivered as a 5 day holiday program or as series of sessions over several weeks either on Saturdays or after-school. Kids receive a Tackers kit and a certificate of achievement at the completion of each program.
The Tackers program is delivered in small groups by a Yachting Australia qualified Instructor and Assistant Instructors.
In Tackers 1 – Having Fun sailing kids sail in pairs in small boats. It's a great way to meet new friends and kids have the chance to sail with different kids in their group.
The next level is Tackers 2 – Tricks & Techniques. If kids are confident, they can sail a boat on their own with lots of support, supervision and encouragement from the Instructor and Assistant Instructors.
The final level of the Tackers program is Tackers 3 – Sailing Fast! This is a chance for the kids to sail boats on their own, learning how to make the boat go faster and playing more games all whilst still under the guidance and support of the Instructor and Assistant Instructors.
The fun doesn't stop when kids finish Tackers 3. SYC offers a 'Green Fleet' program for the kids to progress onto. Green Fleet is a type of introductory fun racing where kids learn how to go round a race course with kids of similar ability where the main focus is on enjoyment.

With an active career, a young family and undertaking post-grad studies, Jude leads a jam-packed life that requires focus and planning to achieve balance. As well as his sporting commitments, Jude is an ambassador for Healthy Bones Australia and shares with us a bit about what health means to him and why we should give our bones the best preparation early in life.
Outside of your football commitments, what sorts of things do you like to do to keep healthy?
I love playing golf, I go for regular runs to make sure I keep fit, I love getting down to the beach for a swim. I lead a pretty active lifestyle and I've also got a little baby girl so I'm always chasing after her now that she's walking.
How important is diet to you?
I think we're blessed at the club with a full time dietitian who gives us a really good food plan. To be able to play footy at the highest level you really have to fuel your body well each week to recover from games and give yourself the best opportunity to perform.
How do you stay mentally healthy?
I love a game of golf with the boys and also try and get away from footy a fair bit. I'm doing a bit of post grad commerce study as well – you really need to keep your mind ticking over and keep mentally fresh so that you can enjoy being at training.
Do you have any strategies to achieve a balance in your life?
We plan out our whole season so that things don't jump up on you. Obviously there are sponsorship commitments that come in and they need to be serviced at different times but I try and plan out a fairly long-term view of the season and that way you can juggle family as well as work life.
Tell us a bit about the importance of bone health.
Osteoporosis is such a debilitating disease and there are some simple factors that allow you to limit the risk of it developing. Things like increasing your intake of calcium, so a little bit of low fat cheese or a glass of milk each day, trying to get a little bit of sunshine and exercise, especially weight bearing activity, so a few lunges and going for a run – activities where you're actually putting a little bit of strain on your bones to increase your bone density and limit your risk factors down the track.
Describe the differences between the two premierships you've played in.
Before 2005 we had one of the longest premiership droughts in Australian sport – 72 years. It was a hell of a weight to carry as a club and as a playing group. We were relieved to win in 2005. Being a little bit older, I've really enjoyed the 2012 premiership. Working with a different group but still being with some of the guys who played in the '05 grand final, I've been able to savour it a lot more.
What did you have to think about when you decided to play this season?
I had to weigh up how my body was as it takes a toll playing for 14 or 15 years. My body still feels good, I feel like I'm still competing well and I just love being out there with the players and my teammates. A lot of people say you're a long time retired and I just wanted to make sure I got the most out of myself.
What are you looking ahead for the season ahead?
It's business as usual. All the teams start coming for you when you're the reigning premiers. There's an expectation from our fans that we're going to get out there and perform. We're really looking forward to the challenges ahead.
In 2012, AFL footballer Jude Bolton played his 300th AFL game and won his second premiership with the Sydney Swans.

Service Planning: Avoiding the Chaos of Last-Minute Service Changes
As a technical leader, you need to be able to say "no" on a Sunday morning. While it is never a comfortable position, changes to service should not be done last minute (with a couple of exceptions).
Service Planning NewsService Planning: Best Brains, Best Storms Service Planning: Connecting the Birth and Resurrection Service Planning: Jesus Was Born to Die! April Fool! Service Planning: Look to the Ancient Church for Inspiration, Direction
Team Management ResourceWorship Facilities Magazine, March-April 2018
The March-April 2018 issue of Worship Facilities Magazine offers articles about how to prepare, prevent and respond to church violence, a look into what church management software can do for your church community, and a piece on how a once popular nightclub venue was transitioned to become Shoreline Church's new home.
The countdown to service is underway and everything is ready to go, for a great morning of worship. Then, your head pastor hands you a USB thumb drive, asking if you can play a video clip at some point before he preaches. As church techs, be it technical directors, sound engineers, or worship leaders, we have all been put in similar position to this at some point.
Here are some ways to change your service planning to avoid the last-minute chaos, and help your entire church focus on what matters: God.
The first critical step is having something in place to help you plan the service from a worker's and volunteer's perspective. Planning Center Online, Worship Planning and Ministry Scheduler Pro are all great tools to schedule and remind the people that are critical to service, what their role is on a particular Sunday. If you're not using one of these tools already, you're probably taking too much time to make a schedule.
Now that you know who will be there and what their role is during service, it's time to work on the details of a particular service. This can seem daunting at first, but work from a larger scale and narrow it down slowly. If you are a church that does sermon series, what series are you in now? As a technical director or worship leader, this will help you with your choices of backgrounds, songs and possibly mini-movies to use during the service itself. This will help the service naturally flow from one element to the other.
There are some other details that should be noted as well. For example, who is the primary vocalist for a song? This will help camera operators be ready to focus on that person, and although that segment of the service has probably already been rehearsed, it will help your sound tech with the correct mix. In addition, what is the mood overall for this song? This information helps lighting choose appropriate colors and the person running slides will then pick an appropriate background for the lyrics.
Don't leave these things until Sunday morning.
Among the things to take into account is that there are often multiple versions of a particular song with the same name. Integration with the Christian Copyright Licensing International, or CCLI, database and making sure you have the correct lyrics is critical in helping people properly enter into a time of worship. Scriptures are another critical aspect of service planning. Cueing those with the proper break points will help people see and retain the Word of God in a more intimate and powerful way.
Knowing what you need, and getting what you need, are two separate things entirely.

John Deere Mowers
by Christan Griego
I mow my lawn with a John Deere mower. Growing up my family had every kind of push mower imaginable - from the Kmart special to the Wal-Mart special. Every one got the job done, but it was never easy work, especially in the hot New Mexico sun. The thing I remember most about those days is how difficult it was to start those bargain basement machines. I can't begin to tell you how much of my youth was wasted pulling on stubborn mower cords. On the worst occasions, I'd eventually give up and try a new spark plug or air cleaner; sometimes I'd even rebuild the carburetor. When all else failed my father would look at me and say, "well, it's time to get a new mower", and the latest push special would roll into our lives.

Alessi Seminar 2004
by Christan Griego
FOSSANO, ITALY – It started innocently enough with a trip to O'Hare International Airport, but after 20 hours and 15 minutes -- due to O'Hare traffic and a re-route to Rome -- I finally arrived at my destination. The reason for this report is not to complain about current airline travel conditions but rather to let the trombone world know of the events of the recent Alessi Seminar held in Fossano, Italy.
After attending the past three Alessi seminars in Nyack, New York, I had an understanding of what the seminar would entail. These events are trombone "boot camps" for the participants. However, auditors can learn just as much as the privates in Alessi's company. More ››
The Experience of a Lifetime
by Michael Dease
With characters resembling heroes and villains, quests for treasure with mishaps on the way, and the ultimate hope to live happily ever after with a newly found love interest, the search for a great instrument could likely be compared to the drama of a Grimm Fairy Tale. While many trombonists may find their voice on an early horn of choice, others find their discriminating needs unmet by the production line. While seemingly business partners, reproduction and consistency have held a grudge with each other in the recent pickings of the American trombone market. Unsatisfied with the quality and performance of my instrument, I began paying closer attention to my favorite players, and incidentally their favorite trombones.
I had noticed my teacher Wycliffe Gordon playing his Edwards T302 for the past 2 years and thought little of it (Wycliffe can make a tooth brush sound great!) until he brought his old horn to a recent lesson. After switching back and forth between horns, I could not believe the depth and rich color of sound captured with his Edwards Jazz horn. More ››
My Edwards Experience
by Jim Pugh
My relationship with the Edwards T302 goes back to its inception in 1996. I was very excited to receive a call from Edwards (from Jon Winkle actually, the artist liaison at the time) asking if I would be interested in helping out with the development of a new trombone. While I was happy with the horn I was playing at the time, the thought of being in on the ground floor of a potentially revolutionary instrument intrigued me, to say the least. I was aware of the developments and advances Edwards was making in the large bore tenor and bass trombone arena and sensed the possibility of a very interesting instrument, so I jumped at the chance.

Why I Chose Edwards
by Leonard Candelaria
I have played Edwards Gen II trumpets (Bb, C, E/Eb/D) and Gen X trumpets (Bb and C) for more than three years and I have had direct input to their design for the past five years. I have been an Edwards Performing Artist for three years, having been a clinician for Bach for 12 years previously and Yamaha before that. I enjoy playing my Edwards trumpets. I receive many compliments from other professional players on my sound and artistry -- as much or more so than before I switched to Edwards. I feel my accuracy and consistency are much improved with enhanced sound quality and good intonation. Other Edwards players report that they perceive similar results on Edwards trumpets. More ››
Inclusion: Slide Hampton at Wisconsin-Whitewater
by Steve Wiest
On May 4-6, 2003, a residency with jazz trombone great Slide Hampton took place at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Sponsored in part by a grant from the UW-Whitewater Administration and Edwards Instruments, the workshop was held in honor of Slide's contribution as a trombonist, composer/arranger, and mentor. As part of the event, five talented university jazz trombonists: Chris Dempsey and Chris Gagne from the Berklee School of Music, Clarence Hines and Mike Williams from The Eastman School of Music, and David Winslow from The University of North Texas were chosen from around the country to work with Slide and to perform in the final concert.

David Taylor Artist Profile
David Taylor interviewed by Christan Griego
Christan Griego: You just got back from Austria. Do you want to talk about that trip?
David Taylor: Sure, I had a great time in Austria. On this trip, I was in Vienna, playing in two different settings: a jazz club called "Porgy and Bess," and Vienna's main concert hall. It was wild, soloing on this incredibly historic stage. In both venues, I was performing in a trio for bass trombone, soprano saxophone, and piano. More ››
Steve Wiest Artist Profile
Steve Wiest interviewed by Christan Griego
Christan Griego: When you first walked into the Edwards Pro Stop what was your first impression?
Steve Wiest: I think the first thing anybody notices are the wall-to-ceiling trombone bells and slides on display. I had never been in a place with such an exhaustive array of components. It was very obvious that this place is serious about putting together the most professional horns possible. The potential is almost overwhelming and very exciting. For a trombonist, it is pretty much everything you could ever want in one room! Honestly, I couldn't wait to tear into it. More ››
Craig Klein Artist Profile
by Christan Griego
I met Craig Klein while he was on the Come By Me tour with Harry Connick Jr. He called saying that he would be in Madison,WI and wanted to try some of the jazz trombones we were making. We got together and after a few weeks of work, we found a good fit and got him on the road with his new Edwards. He introduced me to the other trombonists in the group and Lucien Barbarin soon fell in love with an Edwards jazz bone and made the plunge into modularity via a .508 bore horn. Craig did more than introduce me to his fellow workers, he played me some music that changed the way I viewed the trombone in music. More ››
Behind the Scenes at Alessi Seminar III
by Christan Griego
NYACK, NY – The Alessi Seminar is now in its third year in the US. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Joe Alessi to discuss his motivations for doing a festival of this kind, and to gain a little insight into what goes into a workshop of this size and scope. My first question was what was the inspiration for the Alessi Seminar?
"Well, first of all, I love to teach. I haven't been to too many events like this, I was a student in Snowbird, Utah, years ago and I've been to the ITA Festival." More ››
ITF 2002: Tales from the Edwards Booth
by Chris Branagan
From the outside, the College of Music at the University of North Texas looked like any other big music school. But once you passed through the doors, you could tell something was different about this place. There were no sounds of clarinets, vocalists, or saxophone players, but the building was not quiet. The only sound to be heard in the practice rooms, classrooms, rehearsal and performing spaces was – the T R O M B O N E! More ››
B454-DE Review
by Joshua Brown
A few months ago, Christan Griego called me to tell me about a new bass trombone he was building — the B454-D Edge. I was completely interested — that is until he told me it had dependent valves. Now I'm not the biggest proponent of using the second valve by itself, but I did like the flexibility an independent horn gave me. Christan seemed to understand my reluctance as he had been through this before. More ››

Five [Awesome] Things I Read This Week, 3.14.2014
I have so many links I want to share this week — cutting this down to just five was more difficult than usual! But I did it, because I am awesome. And so are you — don't forget it.
I have two favorite The Girls We Once Were posts that I want to share with you. All of them are really quite fantastic (click here for more), but these are the two I read that really stuck with me:
One. Where were the boys? posted at Faith In Between.
Two. Renaissance Girl, posted at CoffeeSnob318.
I know the names and details for these two women, and they are awesome and good-looking and all that jazz, but I'm not sure how anonymous these writing spaces are so we'll let them determine whether or not to say their names online. I won't do that for them. BUT, they are both pretty dang cool and funny and smart. Take a look.
Three. How to Watch Your Kid's Game Without Being a Jerk. I told you guys how I'm not a mom but I still often enjoy reading the blog Momastery. I'm still not a mom (still, as in since I wrote the previous sentence one second ago? I'm leaving that awkward transition here for kicks and giggles all around), BUT I have baby sat a mildly disabled individual who loved soccer, and I found myself giggling with memories reading this post. I also recommend asking your child what is appropriate for you to wear to view his or her game: as in, perhaps what you are currently wearing is not cool and or incredibly inappropriate. But that's coming from a twenty-something with no kids.

Five. Man Beaten in the Street on a Beautiful Day, by Kate at Eat the Damn Cake. There's this tension between protecting others and protecting ourselves and this made me think. She writes in the tension, without resolution, which opens the door for us as readers to consider what we think is right.

Hey guys!
Welcome to another guest post! Today's guest poster is Carly from Lacquered Lover.
Today Carly will be reviewing and swatching two Deborah Lippmann polishes - Forget You and Candy Shop. I've wanted these shades for a while now so I can only imagine that Carly's post is going to make me want them even more!
Hello my fellow lacquered lovers!
I'm so excited to be doing a guest post for the lovely Kayla! She's my go to for nail art and tutorials so I feel very lucky to get to write a guest post for her page!
Today I have two of my favorite polishes to share with you, Deborah Lippmann's Forget You and Candy Shop. I'm a bit of a Deborah Lippmann hoarder (I now own over 40 of them, yikes!) and I just think she makes incredible polishes! So, I've resorted to combining them into a manicure so I can get a lot of use out of all of them! Now, without further ado, on to the polish!
This was sort of my "I feel like my manicure needs some pink to it for Valentine's Day but don't want to do a full on Valentine's Day manicure" look that I was wearing on February 14th!
I absolutely adore Forget You which is a black jelly full of multi colored glitters. I've seriously used about 1/4 of my bottle, which for someone with as many nail polishes as I have, is a lot! It's just so pretty and fun on and fully opaque in 2 coats!
Then I did two coats of Candy Shop on my ring finger, which is a bubblegum pink jelly that's packed full of the same glitters in Forget You. I just love how these two look together and for being a jelly with glitter in it, both of them are super easy to work with and easily made opaque!
When these polishes were first released, they were only part of a set of 3 polishes for Nordstrom called Get This Party Started that also included Happy Birthday which uses the same glitters as Candy Shop and Forget You, just in a clear base. However now they are finally being sold separately! So if you are just looking for one or two of the polishes, fear not! You can get them at several department stores or online retailers where Deborah Lippmann is sold!
Once again, a huge thank you to Kayla for letting me write up this guest post! I hope you all enjoyed seeing one of my favorite Deborah Lippmann combinations!
Thanks for this great post Carly! I want these shades more than ever now, especially Candy Shop!
Thanks once again and you're welcome back anytime to do another guest post!

Analog Addiction Writes" It is unfortunate, but it seems as the years pass us, the survival-horror genre is spreading thinner and thinner in the wonderful world of gaming.
Many people feel that it has been a while since we got a true survival-horror experience from a video game. Even with a huge franchise that defined the genre such as Resident Evil, players have not had that feeling of loneliness, caution, desperation and above all, fear. These primary elements have instead gone down action alley to suit the desire of those who prefer explosions over eerie silence."
"I was only able to find two beds through my entire playthrough. It became irritable having to run all the way back to the safe house so I could make a quick save."
First off,there are than 2 bed/save points. But there is also 10 man holes, with all leading to a save point. You never have to run anywhere.
"Sometimes I would fall two feet while running down stairs and lose half of my health."
Never happened to me except for London tower. Seems like the reviewer rushed through areas never using the ladders.

At my appearance on 13 December before the Environment
Transport and Regional Affairs Committee in connection with its
evidence session on the Rural White Paper, I promised to write
to you on four points. These were:
Road noise (reply to Mr Donohoe, question 29)
The conditions under which highway authorities
have to carry out insulation work or make grants are set out in
The Noise Insulation Regulations 1975. They apply to residential
buildings not more than 300 metres (about a fifth of a mile) from
a new road or additional carriageway, rather than the half mile
I suggested in my immediate evidence. The criteria are that the
predicted traffic noise level within 15 years of opening must
rise to an average level of at least 68 dB(A) for specified periods
in the day and must be at least 1 dB(A) higher than the existing
noise level. In practice this means most people living within
300 metres of a new or altered road get noise insulation or a
Decisions about proposed development on best and
most versatile land (reply to Dr Ladyman, questions 48 and 49)
The Rural White Paper (9.3.4ff) says that to
achieve a more holistic approach, decisions about proposed development
affecting the best and most versatile agricultural land will be
made locally through the planning process. To inform this process,
it contains an undertaking to provide good practice guidance.
This will help local decision makers evaluate in a more integrated
way factors such as landscape quality, local character, biodiversity
and soil quality. My Department will shortly be commissioning
research to inform the preparation of such good practice guidance.
We will take an objective look at existing evaluation techniquesand
there are several such as the "Countryside Character"
approachand take account of other work such as the draft
soil strategy which will soon be published for consultation. We
do not underestimate the complexity of the task, but our aim is
to produce best practice guidance that is user-friendly and will
help in making local decisions about potential development affecting
higher quality agricultural land.
The guidance in Planning Policy Guidance Note
(PPG7) on the Countryside will be revised in due course to put
flesh on the changes signalled in the White Paper.
As a result of earlier research, my Department
has already published (1998) good practice entitled Environmental
Geology in Land Use Planning. Sections from this will be relevant
to the good practice guidance to be prepared.
Charity shops (reply to Anne McIntosh, questions
57 and 58)
PPG6: Town Centres and Retail Developments deals
with planning for retail development, including managing change
in the high street. The planning system does not distinguish between
different types of high street shops or who runs them. Therefore
a charity shop in planning terms is the same as any other high
street shopit sells goods over the counter.
Under the Local Government Finance Act 1988,
properties wholly or mainly used for charitable purposes are entitled
to 80 per cent mandatory rate relief. The local authority has
the discretion to increase this relief to 100 per cent. Charity
shops are only entitled to this relief if they are used wholly
or mainly for the sale of goods donated to a charity and the proceeds
of the sale are applied for the purposes of a charity. However
the Green Paper Modernising Local Government Finance, published
on 19 September 2000, sought views on whether the Department's
guidance to local authorities on the application of rate relief
to properties wholly or mainly used for charitable purposes should
be reviewed. The Green Paper also proposed a rate relief scheme
for all small businesses. This would reduce the rates bill for
all small businesses occupying properties with rateable values
below £8,000, on a sliding scale. Those with rateable values
below £3,000 would receive 50 per cent relief, reducing as
rateable value increases, so that at £6,000 rateable value
there would be 20 per cent relief, tapering to 0 per cent above
£8,000 rateable value. We are currently considering responses
to the Green Paper and expect to consult on revised guidance on
rate relief during 2001.
The Countryside Agency's Village Shops Development
Scheme (reply to Louise Ellman, question 82)
At 31 March, 572 grants with a total value of
£1,807,308 had been awarded under the Village Shops Development
Scheme. A recent evaluation of the scheme (which began in 1996/97)
has shown that:
The scheme has also helped a number of community
shops to set up, often where a commercial village shop had closed
or was under threat of closure, helping to retain an essential
community service that otherwise would have been lost. Other indirect
community gain from the grant aid to village shops has been the
introduction of an increased range of goods and services and longer
opening hours. Access to "add-on" services includes
banking, cash machines, dry cleaning, prescription collection,
gas and electricity key charging and mobile shops.

Dolls and shells, dolls and shells.
Three sheets to the wind, and swollowed by fortunes twisted spells.
An empty hand for a lifeless eye glimmer lost and wasted and spent on hallowed stifled ties.
I preach to the converting with a tounge less disconcerting
And a name pulled forth from ashes scattered when the fruits of our labour hardly mattered.
The poor obessions of solanka.
Crash meets head in a blur of demons lost and fired fed
Betting these last inches of rope on a new machine left for dead.
Wasting years praying for solanka an uncharted mind embracing spirits of another kind

June 22, 1807, while Jefferson at Washington was fuming over Chief-Justice Marshall's subpoena, and while the grand jury at Richmond were on the point of finding their indictment against Burr, an event occurred at sea, off the entrance to Chesapeake Bay, which threw the country into violent excitement, distracting attention from Burr, and putting to a supreme test the theories of Jefferson's statesmanship.
That the accident which then happened should not have happened long before was matter for wonder, considering the arbitrary character of British naval officers and their small regard for neutral rights. For many years the open encouragement offered to the desertion of British seamen in American ports had caused extreme annoyance to the royal navy; and nowhere had this trouble been more serious than at Norfolk. Early in 1807 a British squadron happened to be lying within the Capes watching for some French frigates which had taken refuge at Annapolis.

Doc Savage The Man of Bronze was the final work ever produced by George Pal who died in 1980. George Pal had been a big name in the 1950s as producer and sometimes director of science-fiction classics such as Destination Moon (1950), When Worlds Collide (1951), The War of the Worlds (1953) and The Time Machine (1960). George Pal gambled on the popularity of the character in getting this film off the ground, optimistically taking out an option on all 181 stories. (The end credits even announce a sequel Doc Savage: The Arch Enemy of Evil, although this never emerged).
Certainly, the film achieves an accurate translation of the details familiar to the stories Ron Ely, Tarzan from the popular Tarzan (1966-8) tv series, is well cast, emerging as a perfect incarnation of one of the Boris Vallejo covers of the Bantam reprints in ripped shirt and artfully bared chest, calf-height boots, bulging biceps and brass Doc belt buckle. The Brain Trust looks right, even if the actors play the roles as bumbling idiots. The story of the film touches bases with many parts of the first Doc Savage pulp novel, although imports characters and a villain from other stories.
Unfortunately, while the film is fine for trivia buffs, the rest of it makes one balk. It could have been a great adventure film homaging the classic era of serials in the same way that Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) was a few years later. Alas, Docs fate was the time that the film was made where the prevailing outlook on screen superheroes was overshadowed by the campy unserious tone of the Batman (1966-8) tv series. The opening sets the stride with twinkles animated over Ron Elys eye and the title done out in the colours of the US flag. The villains overplay as though in a mustache-twirling competition, the prize surely going to Bob Corso with scenes in a giant rocking bed, sucking his thumb and stubbing cigars out into telephone receivers. It becomes a sillier and sillier joke on the anachronism of the original stories the assistants all order non-alcoholic beverages, applause accompanies Docs noble speeches on the soundtrack and the final scene shows the villains playing in a Salvation Army band after going through Docs rehabilitation program. The climactic martial arts fight with subtitles is the height of absurdity. If there was still any possibility we were not getting the unseriousness of the exercise, the jaunty score determinedly camps it up at every opportunity. The subsequent adaptation of Superman (1978) showed how superheroics can be done without filmmakers having to be disparaging to the material and the results here are lamentable.
There have been rumoured plans in recent years for a new version of Doc Savage, with the name of Arnold Schwarzenegger being touted at one point during the late 1990s, although this never appears to have gone anywhere. A big screen remake has been announced for the 2010s under writer/director Shane Black and purportedly starring Dwayne Johnson.
George Pals other genre films are The Great Rupert (1949), Destination Moon (1950), When Worlds Collide (1951), The War of the Worlds (1953), The Naked Jungle (1954), Conquest of Space (1955), tom thumb (1958), The Time Machine (1960), Atlantis, the Lost Continent (1961), The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm (1962), 7 Faces of Dr Lao (1964) and The Power (1967).
Director Michael Anderson has made a number of other genre films including an adaptation of George Orwells 1984 (1956); The Shoes of the Fisherman (1968), a political thriller concerning a near-future Pope; the dystopian sf film Logans Run (1976); the killer whale film Orca (1977); the psycho-thriller Dominique (1978); the tv mini-series adaptation of Ray Bradburys The Martian Chronicles (1980); Bells/Murder by Phone/The Calling (1981) about killer telephone calls; the excruciating Adam and Eve softcore comedy Second Time Lucky (1984); the John Varley time travel film Millennium (1989); the tv movie remake of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1997); and The New Adventures of Pinocchio (1999).

So Fall Out Boy are back, and My Chemical Romance are history.
Hurrah, and boo respectively.
Fall Out Boy are a band I've liked for a long time, and have the dubious honour of being one whose lyrics I listen to intently. There's an interesting way with words there that – basically – I envy.
My Chemical Romance are… were… a band with whom I have history; empathy. I've never been particularly worried about hiding the fact I've long had what (for the sake of brevity) we'll call "issues", and I found something in My Chem that I connected with at the exact time I desperately needed it.
It sounds trite and about as far from cool as it's possible to be (although, let's face it, "cool" isn't exactly the first word that comes to mind when you think of me, I know) but they were a band who made a difference to me. And that's what art is supposed to do, isn't it? It's supposed to connect with you. This did.
The thing is, I was broken.
I was broken and I was feeling alone and afraid and then I realised that the music I was listening to, the music I was connecting to on so many levels, was made by people who were broken too. That mattered. It mattered because suddenly, it was okay to be broken. It was okay to be broken and scarred and afraid and flawed, because you could be all these things and you could still make… that.
It helped, and it gave me hope.
So Fall Out Boy are back, and My Chemical Romance are history, and Wentz and Way with all their scars and all their flaws are still two of my heroes.

Readabilitea is 6 months old! Time truly flies.
When I first started Readabilitea, I couldn't really see it growing into anything and if I'm completely honest it was more of a career move; I realised I wanted to go into publishing whilst I was on my year abroad, and didn't think I had the necessary evidence to show my passion (I probably did, but couldn't see it at the time). I've tried blogging before and it didn't work out; I couldn't stay committed and struggled posting good, regular content. With Readabilitea though, I seem to have found my thing, my groove, my own lovely corner of the internet.
I'm immensely proud of what I've created - even if my blog isn't something I shout from the rooftops about. I've learnt so many things, from how to deal with the endless struggle of maintaining an Instagram theme to what my reading habits are like, as well as that YA can be read by anyone and everyone.
I've read so much in the last months that I would have never even heard about had it not been for the wonderful book blogging community. Turns out, I really like fantasy, and it is actually possible for me to enjoy poems because not all poetry is rigid and so riddled with metaphor it's beyond understanding. My favourite discoveries from book blogging have been Sarah J. Maas' writing, and Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff.
Looking ahead, I have a few things in-store for Readabilitea. I want to change from using Blogger and buy my own domain. This is something that I didn't want to do just when I was starting out because I wasn't sure about how committed I was, but now I feel like it's the right move towards a more professional blog. If you have any tips on moving from Blogger, please let me know! I need all the help I can get!
I also want to get more book reviews up, which is something I've been doing more of recently anyway, and I also would like to generate more diverse content: Q & As, discussion posts, more How Tos. If there's anything you want to see more of in particular, don't hesitate to comment below.
Lastly, thank you to all you guys who read what I put up on here. I love reading your comments and I love knowing you enjoy what I'm doing because I'm also really enjoying it. Here's to many more months to come!
Happy reading everyone, and have a lovely weekend!

What you don't know about Amal Clooney
She is the elegant, extraordinarily gifted human-rights barrister, with an astonishing resumé that unapologetically upstages her infinitely flawless steps on every red carpet. She is a fierce advocate for the people, while living that luxury life of the elite. From her heart-stopping designer gowns, to awe-inspiring speeches, she has an effortless grace and a sure confidence that draws the kind of attention not commonly granted to lawyers.
With Hollywood's most eligible bachelor-turned-husband on her arm, 38-year-old Amal Clooney shines brighter with every brilliant move she makes. At the 2015 Golden Globes, host Tina Fey painted a quick picture of the Clooneys joking, "Amal is a human rights lawyer, who worked on the Enron case, was an advisor to Kofi Annan regarding Syria, and was selected for a three-person UN commission, investigating rules-of-war violations in the Gaza Strip. So tonight, her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award!" Having practiced law for over 15 years, and with an unrelenting taste for perfectly appointed couture, Amal proves she's got the guts — and the mind — to change the world, and look good doing it.

Providing the right level of support and supervision for volunteers can feel like a bit of a juggle. You don't want volunteers to feel like they are constantly being watched. But you also don't want them to feel like they are left to their own devices without support. A volunteer coordinator must provide the appropriate balance of support and supervision, manage expectations and match volunteers to roles.
There are many creative ways to provide the right balance of support and supervision for volunteers while keeping them motivated and engaged.

BELGRADE, Serbia – The Latest on Europe's migrant crisis (all times local):
1:05 p.m.
Besides rescuing migrants from smugglers' boats, naval vessels in the Mediterranean are also recovering bodies from past shipwrecks on the bottom of the Mediterranean.
The Italian navy on Monday brought six migrants' bodies to Sicily that were found near the collapsed wreck of a boat that sank on Aug. 5, 2015. When that shipwreck happened, an Irish naval vessel took on 373 survivors and 26 bodies that were immediately recovered.
Palermo-based prosecutors asked the Italian navy to try to locate the sunken wreck and retrieve any more bodies.
In December, a navy minesweeper located the wreck on the seabed, 60 meters (200 feet) down. The navy says inspections of the wreck and the surrounding area ascertained the presence of 10 bodies, but, for safety concerns, it was only possible to remove six.
10:55 a.m.
Serbian police say they have found 29 migrants with no documents and arrested a suspected people smuggler.
Police said Monday they discovered the migrants in a southern village near the border town of Presevo. They say migrants were packed in two cars with false plates. The man caught with the migrants faces charges of illegal crossing of the border and people smuggling.
The smuggling of migrants through the Balkans has been on the rise since the nations shut their borders in March, closing down the traditional refugee route toward Western Europe.
More than one million people entered Europe last year and nations have been shutting down their borders to curb the influx.
