I woke up this morning, painfully hung-over from three too many Irish whiskeys and four hours of sleep, and as I forced my body out of bed, I carefully, methodically and despondently — like when you remove a splinter from your foot and examine it pinched between the tweezers, wondering how something so small could cause such pain — questioned the very nature of my reality.
I wish I had an answer for the questions echoing in our heads but I don't. I truly don't. Instead I shuffled through the Brooklyn rain, into a train full of grey faces and puffy eyes and broken pride and climbed the stairs with legs like lead into Manhattan, where some small part of me expected it to be sunny, but of course it was still raining, because it is Wednesday November 9, 2016, and Donald Trump is going to be our 45th president.
I've never written anything remotely political for anyone else to read, so hold tight. I don't know where to begin, but I will try. People smarter than me, like David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker and a personal hero of mine, can sum it up better.
But we should have known.
I think this is what astounds, and pains, me the most: that Americans do, in fact, live in separate realities. That every single person I know believed Hillary would win, that Trump would get what was coming to him. That there is such a separation in this country that I could be this confident my side would prevail. That in other parts of this nation, other worlds to me, supporting Trump was something to advertise, not hide. I don't think I can confidentially use the term "most people" anymore, because I clearly don't know whom I'm speaking for.
I always felt as a child that despite differences, no matter what, we were a country, that I was part of something, that I had more in common with someone from Mississippi or Indiana than I did with anyone else anywhere in the world. Maybe this was a result of my privilege. Either way I was wrong.
I feel utterly alone.
The fact that Trump's supporters, not to mention the man himself, were confident he would win, in the face of what we thought was overwhelming "evidence" says it all. There is no more objective reality, at least in 2016 America. We see what we want to see. I woke up this morning feeling like I was in the matrix. This isn't a nightmare; this is reality. The false hope and understanding of this country we thought we had was the real dream.
It is utterly humbling, as a college-educated, wealthy, young man — told my entire life that my way, "our" way, was the "right" way — to realize, with the shattering of a different type of glass ceiling, that everything I stand for, everything I was taught to stand for, was not universal.
I've never felt so ignorant in my entire life.
These are not wounds that will heal quickly.
I am trying not to plunge into utter despair, to resist finishing the bottle of Jameson resting on my messy living room table, to not give up on the progress and spirit I truly bought into over the last eight years. But something poisonous is seeping through my stomach lining, through the walls of my apartment, through the veins of every American this morning. This poison, whatever monster we've finally allowed to break free, is something that needs to be confronted, fleshed out, understood.
As another hero of mine, Krishnamurti, writes, "A disease must be cured, but to treat merely the symptom is of little use. Only when we become aware of the cause of conflict, understand and transcend it, can we experience that which is."
Because this is deeper than party politics or a fractured nation: this is a fundamental shattering of humanity, of human connection, the triumph of unchecked misogyny, xenophobia, racism, homophobia, nativism, authoritarianism, hatred, ignorance and, most startlingly, the belief that we are all in fact not equal. And it wasn't just white men without a college degree. It was white people — rich, poor, men, women — protecting their whiteness from the Other. Something is very, very, wrong.
If this, in fact, is our reality, not a nightmare, then I can say nothing except that I am frightened.
I am frightened at the fact that the Presidency, House and Senate are controlled by Republicans, the same Republicans who disrupted and stalled due governance to the detriment of our entire nation for the past eight years because of their unbridled and unprecedented hatred for our President.
I am frightened that our new President has absolutely zero political experience.
I am frightened by how divisively and backwards most of our country apparently thinks.
I am frightened at the thought of our Supreme Court falling into conservative hands for the next generation, effectively shaping our future as homage to a despicable past.
I am frightened about our environment. Four years of GOP rule and climate deniers will effectively set our planet back more than we can even understand at this moment.
I am frightened for Planned Parenthood. For the Iran deal. For public universities.
I am frightened for our economy, for our foreign relations, for the stability of the planet, for our infrastructure, for our values, for our culture, for our freedom.
I am frightened for the world, for the wave of xenophobic populism sweeping across the globe, for the fact that we weren't exempt.
But most of all I am frightened for the safety of the people I love — women, people of color, LGBTQ+, the disabled, Muslims, Jews and any other marginalized group effectively threatened by the coronation of this demagogue.
I'm frightened for Wonza Johnson, my college roommate and ultimate partner-in-crime; a black, gay man who has defied unspeakable obstacles and succeeded in the face of a predominately white, straight university — and world — that gave him room to fail, not rise. He's the most hilarious — and talented — person I know and will one day be a star on Broadway.
I'm frightened for Rio Viera-Newton, my Not Mad partner and spiritual other-half, a Brazilian-British woman who wears her femininity like battle gear and clips subpar men like split-ends, who is my refuge from insecurity, who validates my existence, who gives my life meaning.
I'm frightened for Hayden Howard, my brother, a Jewish, gay, college freshman who does better makeup than any woman I know and whose elegance, sexiness and style turns heads on the street, who watches telanovelas and embraces androgyny like Bowie, who manages to get acrylic nails and write papers in the same day, who spends nights at home with me eating ice cream and watching 30 Rock. He wears heels sometimes and I'm so scared someone is going to hurt him.
I'm frightened for Amina Fishburn, my lifelong friend, an American-Indian woman who was raised Muslim but always hesitates to bring it up in public, who shrugs it off when people ask why she doesn't eat pork, who loves decorating for holidays and staging interventions for me when I get out of line, who suffered through every low of college by my side. She will most likely be the first one drunk at my wedding, if I ever get married.
I'm frightened for Fidel Lopez, my boarding school classmate and close friend, a first-generation Mexican-American who giggles like an 8th grade girl and loves disco music and the Lakers, who stayed up all night in those volatile high school years discussing what we thought to be the meaning of our lives, who I listen to chicano rap with, who I met, on the first day of school, crying in his room with lipstick on his cheek after his mother left. We road-tripped together, just us, last year to the old school and had the time of our lives.
These are not ancillary characters to me. These are people who make up the foundation of my being. Who define my life. And these are not my "token" friends. This list goes on, and on, and on.
I can't forget this, too.
I'm frightened for myself.
I've known I was queer since middle school; I don't need or want to regale you with my journey along those lines, but it has been nothing short of excruciating, isolating, maddening and bewildering. A few times I almost gave up.
My sexuality has never been a secret, or at least in college it hasn't. Most people in my life know I date men and women. It doesn't define me, by any means, nor do I take anything about it as inherent to my being. I never had a "coming out" moment, whether on Facebook or to my parents; never went to Pride; never posted publicly about it; never took the label and slapped it on my chest; never even felt part of a group. My queerness is the one thing in my life I've gotten through more or less on my own. I've been treated like shit by one too many in-the-closet guys to ever be ashamed of it again, but I've never felt the need to proclaim it to the world. I simply am.
But last night changed things.
For the first time in my life, in the face of daunting threat, I need to own this — not for myself, but for the millions of others, like Wonza, like Rio, like Hayden, like Amina, like Fidel, who are suddenly the "other." I, too, am the "other." I feel the back against my wall. I feel the threat closing in.
I have no clue what to do. I'm unable to do work today. Men and women have been sobbing quietly at their desks in my office all morning. Every time I take a moment to let this reality settle in, the hole in my chest grows deeper. I am a self-professed optimist but have never felt this challenged to be happy or hopeful. I am drained. I am scared. I truly don't know how any of our daily lives will resume. I don't know how we're going to close this gap. I don't know how we can make everybody happy. I don't know how we got so broken.
For the first time in my life, I'm wondering whether or not our republic will survive.
I don't know how I'm going to focus on anything else for the next four years and beyond.
It's hard not to feel like everything is ruined.
This moment, this "American Tragedy" as Remnick calls it, is a lot of things — depressing, demoralizing, revolting — but the one thing it is not is defeat. Instead, it has unequivocally ensured that the resolution of this situation, or division, or disaster, or apocalypse, will be our generation's flag to fly. Our unavoidable destiny. Our moment to step up. Our cause. It is wholly on us to fix this mess.
I cannot admit defeat. I cannot say that our country — with its gaping holes and appalling flaws — is still not the only place I want to be and the place I still believe in. We cannot jump ship.
"Now what shall we, as human beings, living in this world, with our families, our children, what is our action, what is our responsibility?" Krishnamurti asks. "Just to turn our back on it? Retreat into some monastery? Into some ideological conclusions? Inventing new ideologies? None of these have solved our human problem, confronting this frightening state, this dangerous world in which we are living."
He is absolutely right. Change starts now. As a white man, I humbly call for change with utter respect for and solidarity with the aforementioned, systemically marginalized groups whose mostly undocumented, unspeakably difficult fight has been in progress since this country's inception, not to mention the scores of my peers regardless of background who have been engaged long before this chaos. I regret that it took something as catastrophic as Trump's election to confirm to everyone else how broken our world is.
There's only one thing to do, which is to fight back. I don't know how that will happen. But I know it starts now. There are too many levelheaded, passionate, courageous people in this country to let it fully rupture. Though my understanding of an objective reality has been unmistakably shattered, and my faith in this country rocked like never before, this cannot and will not be the end.
I urge you to not slide into complacency, to not get conditioned into thinking this is normal, or acceptable, under any circumstances. Starting to talk and act like everything will be fine, pretending like life will not change is an insult to everyone who is impacted by Trump's ascension, a gross exercise in privilege and a stark denial of reality. Once we get complacent with him, there is no turning back.
"We can endlessly analyze whether we are separate from all other human beings, consciously, in our consciousness," Krishnamurti states. "But deep inward states, we are like the rest of mankind, so you are mankind. You are the rest of humanity."
You are the rest of humanity. I do believe that. Internalize it, please. I know I belong, that we all do. I want to sew threads of connection between us all, pulling whatever last strands I can from the cracks this election broke open. But right now, the threads are slipping through my fingers. Right now, I feel like a stranger in my own home.

Google Map App
There's a lot of grumbling about the new Apple iOS6 maps and there's a lot of improvement necessary to make those usable to the general public. I keep getting lost, but am more apt to try to work around the inconvenience than to complain. But someone the other day asked me if I were the CEO of Google, how would I one-up Apple's maps in a new Google Maps App.
As I thought about this situation, an overlay of the transportation (subways) would be a definite improvement. With the overlay, there could be tappable action points where the subway entrances/exits are with a little popup providing further detail as the the name of the stop and transit lines available at that location. Tapping the icon on the right of the popup would yield yet more information as to when the train lines are scheduled to arrive and depart.
This isn't a revolutionary idea as iTrans does this nicely already for select cities. However, one could use this same concept and apply it to bus lines. I am always looking for a great bus map that will give me this kind of information in an accessible manner. Google maps is probably the best as it gives directions with times. However, buses are very easy to miss and they're rare late night.
Bus information is all well and
good to meet an individual's immediate need to orient themselves and
arrive to their destinations on time, but perhaps there's a greater
purpose that these transportation maps may serve.
Buses are way more prevalent in most cities than subway and light rail systems, yet they suffer from a stigma that lower classes and minorities only use them. Since there is already information on traffic available, there might be an algorithm to work out to give you really dependable times for the riders. Say if the bus comes in 5 minutes (according to the schedule) but needs to go through 10 minutes of stop-and-go traffic then it will be at that location in 15 minutes. So by providing reliable information on public transportation by bus you could also speak to a greater good an encourage bus use across the population thereby reducing traffic and pollution in a city as well as lowering an individual's stress levels from driving.
An interesting read about this from a Conservative perspective is this interview with William Lind on grist.org. If these features are feasible, then maybe technology can change the perspective of a vast majority of Americans.

Well, hello there!

We're so glad that you've come across this ad, as it may be the start of a beautiful [work] relationship!

= Does this sound like you? =

- Do you have an interest in cycling, smart transportation and ways to get more people to drive less and bike more?

- Do you consider yourself as someone who takes initiative and is able not only to come up with ideas, but execute them as well?

- Are you attracted to a flexible working environment, when you have flexible hours and can work remotely (or from an awesome "startup" office surrounded by dozens of other great companies)?

- And, most importantly, do you want to be a part of a small, close knit start up team where your contributions are valued, appreciated and make a real impact?

We are EVELO (www.evelo.com), an electric bicycle company that is focused on developing and distributing technology to make cycling more accessible to a wider range of the population.

We've been around for almost 3 years and are growing at a solid pace.

We are fanatically focused on delivering a great product AND an amazing customer experience to everybody who comes in touch with our company.

We've got an amazing team onboard and are looking to add another individual to fill a Sales & Marketing Manager opening.

= So, what does this position entail? =

This position is broadly divided into two categories:

Here are a few examples of what this would entail:

- Managing PPC, SEO and/or Social Media marketing efforts, if you have experience in any of these domains. – Developing and managing more comprehensive video marketing campaigns – Developing and growing our presence on shopping search engines – Seeking out and implementing new opportunities to grow traffic and inbound leads – Seeking out public relations opportunities – Writing ongoing content for our site and guest blog posts for other sites – Recruiting and managing our offline partners, such as bike rental and tour companies – Improving and testing our email marketing campaigns (newsletter, autoresponders) – Managing sales and promotions on our site

= The Logistics =

Location: We are located in one of the most vibrant and engaging coworking spaces in Cambridge, MA. However, much of our team works remotely from locations all over the U.S. and Canada — as such we are very open to remote-based candidates, as long as that's something that you are interested in.

Hours: This is a full-time position. However, for qualified candidates, we are also open to exploring more part-time engagements (25-30 hours a week). Schedule is very flexible!

Compensation: Based on experience.

= Interested? =

Wonderful! If you've made it this far, we'd love to hear from you. To apply, please submit your resume and cover letter and answer the following questions:

1. What do you think about electric bicycles?
 2. What attracted you to this particular position?
 3. What do you think about working for a startup? All that extra responsibility, wearing multiple hats, and likely less money than you'd make at a more corporate setting?
 4. What areas of the job description above do you have experience with so far? Please provide as much detail and examples as you can.
 5. If hired, what do you think you would focus on during your first month on the job?
 6. What marketing-related web services or tools do you use or have experience with?

Description:

Reboot is a social enterprise working to deliver inclusive governance and services worldwide. We create opportunities for meaningful engagement between institutions and individuals to improve human development outcomes. We help governments, international donors, NGOs, and others to become more responsive to the communities they serve.

We are seeking a Director of Design to lead our work in understanding human needs and creating meaningful solutions that improve lives and livelihoods. The Director of Design will lead multidisciplinary teams, direct project activities, and manage client relationships.

Our ideal candidate is fluent in both human-centered design and global development. You are an inspired systems thinker who can lead others in the pursuit of a big-picture vision, but you also have the focus to nail the details. You are equally comfortable meeting government officials in the capital or working with citizens in the villages. You are enterprising and have the chops to become a star all on your own, but you value (and know how to maximize value from) a diverse team. You bring greater depth to our existing toolbox of design, applied ethnography, institutional analysis, and other methodologies.

The 2013 BMW 3-Series is safe, fuel-efficient, and well-connected, yet it delivers the class-leading performance and handling that enthusiasts have come to expect.
The BMW 3-Series cars have grown as complex as the hardware wrapped in their sheetmetal bodies. BMW juggles a coupe, a convertible, and a sedan under the nameplate—though the sedan this year is a new model, while the two-doors ride under a last-generation architecture. There's some resolution next year when the 3-Series entails only sedans, wagons, and hatchbacks—and the new BMW 4-Series reigns over coupes and convertibles.
But today, the 2013 BMW 3-Series soldiers on as a paragon of the mid-size luxury class, a leader in handling and prestige, and a follower in infotainment. The four-doors continue to be a benchmark for performance across the board, though Cadillac's new ATS has intruded on that territory in a huge, deep way. The coupes and convertibles? They're still more status symbols than anything. As such, we'll focus here on the new sedan. (You can read our previous reviews of the 2011 BMW 3-Series for more on the two-door models.)
The 3-Series grew last year and added a host of tech features cribbed from the 5- and 7-Series. The smaller 3-Series keeps its list of powertrains, great agility and balance, and driver-centric feel that made it popular in the first place.
The sedans have an all turbo lineup now, with a turbo-4 or turbo-6 underhood. Most models can be equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and deliver plenty of power down low in the range to ensure that there's no bad pick in the bunch.
The M3 continues to generate lusty thoughts from true driving enthusiasts with its special performance package, M Sport suspension, and upgraded brakes, plus a 414-hp, 4.0-liter V-8 engine and seven-speed double-clutch (or six-speed manual) transmission. Both the M3, as well as all the 2013 3-Series Coupe and Convertible models, are carried over in the previous-generation layout for the Coupe and Convertible (they won't follow the sedan until next year), so in those forms the 328i includes a 230-horsepower, 3.0-liter naturally aspirated six.
Most models of the 3-Series include driver-selectable modes for how the sedan, hatchback, or wagon behaves. Toggling between Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+ can alter the car's behavior, including throttle response, transmission shifts, and stability control. The 3-Series moved to an electric power assist rack for the current generation, that respectably replaces the great hydraulic setup from yesteryear in most circumstances. In any case, the 3er's electric power steering system doesn't disappoint—it loads and unloads nicely—while the eight-speed automatic transmission is quick to respond and covers a wide range for good highway fuel economy (up to 34 mpg on the highway with the 328i). Coupe and Convertible models make do just fine with a six-speed automatic. And as a breath of fresh air—and one you really expect from BMW—nearly all the models can be had with a manual gearbox. And xDrive all-wheel-drive versions have been added to the lineup this year.
The newer sedans are instantly recognizable as more contemporary with their larger greenhouse, more actively sculpted flanks, and wider front-end look. They're nearly four inches longer than the previous models, with two inches of extra wheelbase; about an inch of that goes to increased rear legroom, and that extra bit goes a long way. With better seat contouring and that added inch or two, it's now possible to fit adults in back, although taller occupants will still be splaying their knees and you won't want to subject adults to vast distances in the back seat. Front-seat riders have the best seats in the 3-Series thanks to comfortable seats that hold nearly every body type, thanks to a wide range of adjustability.
Across the lineup, you get the latest version of iDrive, which requires you to use a multi-way controller down on the center console to navigate menus for non-essential functions. It's much easier to intuit than earlier versions of the system, and we don't seeing it as a deal-breaker, yet you'll want to spend some time getting a tutorial at the dealership. BMW Apps integration lets you use your data connection to tap into some well integrated streaming music services—but it requires a $250 smartphone holder, and it's only compatible with versions of the iPhone.
The 3-Series has a long options sheet that can add luxury or high-tech features, for a price. The cold-weather package may be the most practical for northern state shoppers by adding heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and headlight washers. A head-up display relays useful information to the driver via the windshield. A parking assistance package adds a rearview and surround-view camera system for better maneuverability around the mall parking lot, and advanced safety features such as blind-spot monitors and lane-departure warning can add peace of mind. The available navigation system adds excellent 3-D maps.

text: I was one of those who waited in line June 29th, and got one of these iphone things! (well, waited then went to dinner came back and walked up to the counter) I really like it and have been looking at all the blogs and news since, although this is my first post. I never thought much about it, but one of my favorite features is youtube, weird? I never would have thought that before I got it. I do wish however there was a simple drawing program in the iphone for taking "quick notes" without the keyboard.

Jam bands are a dime a dozen and, to be honest, most aren't great by any stretch. For example, The Bridge, who opened last night's show, is composed of apt musicians, but they sound like prog rockers masquerading as hillbillies, their performance inert and unsatisfying. Honestly, I was surprised by how many turned out to see them. But the main act, San Francisco's Tea Leaf Green, is that rare gem of a jam band that plays true blue rock n' roll without relying on gimmicks or revisiting the genre's tired, tried and tested tropes. They don't reinvent the wheel, but Tea Leaf Green is probably one of the most energetic and sophisticated jam bands performing today. After 15 years, they still play small venues, which serve its devoted audience well. Their high-octane brand of exploratory improvisation befits a more intimate setting. I saw them last year for the first time when they opened here in Philly for Galactic. A friend was aghast that I didn't stick around for Galactic who, she claims, is one of the most important jazz/funk bands today. Yah. Galactic is great, if you have a vagina. But for any lover of raw, edgy rock n' roll, Tea Leaf Green is the band to see.

Duration: 4:30
Premiere by Vox 16
April 16, 2016, Seattle
Markdavin Obenza, Director
Timelessness permeates the mood of this song as the narrator wonders at the familiar scenes and the beloved person who seems both new and newly discovered. With a sense of dejà vu, or perhaps something else entirely, the music reflects this mood by growing out of a repeated descending line of four notes that seem to continue endlessly, beginning and ending, repeating and floating away, and ultimately concluding with a cadence that could lead to the beginning once again. The sudden light in the text of the poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, may be a memory, a flash of understanding, heat, flame, or delight shall be taken even as time passes and death awaits.

Great to hear from you all.
As Graham Mandeno said it's great to have so many wonderful resources all linked from this thread. That gives it far more value than it started with. I'm happy with the presentation, but never could it match up to everything that's been added since.
I'll just add some of the links to free resources that came in posted as text in case anyone's missed them :

Thank you all again :)
Free Tools for Microsoft Access
If I were to thank everyone as Crystal has, I'd be here all day, and all the readers would too. I'm glad Crystal got that one. She knows more of you than I do.
I have to say that I'm excited to start learning and playing with Wayne's vbWatchdog soon. I simply don't use such tools in my everyday work due to my desire to have all my familiar environment around me wherever I go. Unfortunately for that approach, I've had my ear bent so many times about how great and easy it is, that I can put it off no longer. That's every time I do a talk or meet up with other MVPs - vbWatchdog, vbWatchdog.
That said, there are so many great resources and I'm so grateful you all chose to post links in here. This may come to be the go-to place for free Access material. That would be so great.
Stay well -Ade.
Free Tools for Microsoft Access
Thank you to all for the comments, feedback and resources. Some wonderful stuff here.
To ensure I don't get left behind I'll just post links to a couple of new articles I've posted on Bytes.com that explain how to control external processes (using scripts) from within MS Access, making use of a table to store the basic template of the script. I hope people find them useful. I gave a presentation very recently for the UK Access Users Group which seemed to go down well.
The two links are (One has a link within it to a new YouTube video for anyone interested) :

I hope, like many of you here I suspect, that this thread can help to increase the interest we all have in Microsoft's wonderful tool - Access.

Volunteer Drivers
Each weekday around lunchtime, Meals On Wheels volunteers deliver much more than hot, nutritious food—nutritious meals sustain their physical strength, while dedicated volunteers bring hope for their hearts. Consider some real nourishment on your next lunch hour. Volunteer for Meals On Wheels and enjoy a lunch that's good for your heart. Please contact one of our agencies below to get started.

Volunteers are the hearts and hands of the Meals On Wheels programs throughout Delaware. Their caring, dedicated, and generous help turns our goals into realities and our efforts into accomplishments.
How can volunteers help?
Meal delivery drivers bring meals and warmth to homebound seniors during the lunch hour, Monday—Friday. Volunteers are always needed. It takes one or two volunteers to support a route of 10-20 clients per day. Wherever you live or work, we can use your help.
Schedulers help coordinate Meals On Wheels deliveries.
Client liaisons and advocates help ensure that each client receives the needed services.
Office and clerical workers help get the word out on Meals On Wheels programs. They assist with mailings, filing, answering telephones, and data entry.
How much of my time will it take?
Meal delivery volunteers should plan on working on average 90 minutes per day when scheduled to deliver. We ask volunteers to commit to at least one day a month.
Where do the volunteers work?
Those assisting with meal deliveries report to a designated meal provider site or pickup point in their community. They deliver meals on an assigned route with a specific number of stops to the homes of senior citizens.
What kind of training and support is offered to volunteers?
Each agency holds a brief training session prior to a volunteer's first meal delivery. If a volunteer should ever need assistance during a meal delivery he or she should contact the agency they volunteer with.
Do Meals On Wheels volunteers visit and feed clients?
Visiting is limited to a few minutes with each client. Meals On Wheels is intended for those who can feed themselves, but on occasion volunteers may need to unwrap the meal and set it up for a client.
Do you have to read a map to deliver meals?
No, detailed direction to each location are included along with the meal container equipment.
What kind of meal container equipment is provided?
Thermal bags, or coolers keep our meals hot for up to two hours. Coolers filled with "Blue Ice" packs preserve the cold portion of the meals.
What vehicles are used to deliver meals?
Volunteers use their own cars to deliver meals. Even most small vehicles easily accommodate the delivery equipment, rider and driver. Some companies provide a vehicle for their company volunteers to use.
Does Meals On Wheels provide insurance coverage?
Each volunteer must carry personal auto liability insurance.
Thank you volunteers!
Meals On Wheels is truly a volunteer-driven agency. Thousands of caring individuals—whether they're retired, self-employed, homemakers or managing major companies—deliver nutritious lunches each day to needy seniors. Giving of their time to serve others is what makes our volunteers special. They not only bring our clients nutritious food, but the promise of daily interaction.

Due to some work at the site of the new justice center, the power at the Campbell County courthouse had to be temporarily shut down Monday afternoon.
"They've got to cut the power off," Deputy Mayor David Young said Monday afternoon. "They told us 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., but it may not take that long."
While county employees were initially told the power would be out for two hours, it was only out for a matter of a few minutes.
At Monday's meeting, the county commission will decide whether to approve an agreement with Montclair Technologies.
A Department of Housing and Urban Development grant will offer help to the chronically homeless in LaFollette.
"We just have some serious needs in this community," said Phyllis Clinger, from Community Health of East Tennessee.
"People get stuck in situations they didn't plan on getting into," said Pastor Anthony Gibson, from Word of Life Church. "I don't know any homeless person who planned on being homeless. Things just happen."
The Educator Commemorative Wall will be dedicated at Campbell County High School Tuesday night. The dedication will take place at halftime of the Campbell County High School boys basketball game against Powell High School.
The wall is located outside the gym, and is part of a Campbell County High School Relief Fund campaign to raise money for scholarships, CCHSRF president Logan Hickman said. Lindsay's Carpet donated the installation of the materials and labor of the wall for free, Hickman said.
Last Thursday, Jacksboro Police Department arrested two Knoxville men for attempting to cash forged checks.
Around 4:30 p.m., Chief Danny Chapman, Detective Mike Starrett and Officer Mike Caudill responded to a call about two men who had attempted to cash forged checks. Edward McGee, 40, 39, 418 N. Broadway St. / 1100 Town View Dr. 8114, Knoxville, was spotted in the McDonalds parking lot, Starrett said.
Relay for Life team captains have been invited to a kickoff event at Roane State Community College tonight at 6 p.m.
"Any team who is not signed up already, we can do that there," said Lindsey Lawson, publicity chair for the Relay for Life committee. "We will also be discussing the event."
The purpose of the event is to provide captains with information. Any group such as a church, business, or organization can form a team.
"We're going to be serving dinner for everyone who comes," Lawson said.

Exotic species are not automatically "bad." Most of our important food crops and domesticated animals are exotic. But both exotic and native species (ones that evolved in Maryland) become problems when they are invasive. Invasive species often exhibit certain characteristics: they spread aggressively, reproduce quickly, have short juvenile periods, tolerate a wide range of climatic conditions and habitats, compete efficiently against other species, and thrive in disturbed areas. Unfortunately, the pests and diseases that keep these exotic populations under control in their regions of origin are not present in Maryland. Most of Maryland's invasive species come from somewhere else in the world.
Invasive species cause ecological damage by outcompeting native species, reducing biological diversity, and changing ecosystem functions such as flood and fire regimes or nutrient cycling. The Asian vine kudzu quickly climbs over trees and shrubs and can kill them by strangling and shading. Some invasive species, like the aggressive stinging red imported fire ant, can present serious human health risks. Invasive species also have major economic consequences, ranging from the loss of economically valuable species to the costs of controlling or managing infestations on public lands. Populations of the predominant forest tree in Maryland, the American chestnut, were decimated by the chestnut blight, an exotic fungus accidentally introduced in the 1880s. The state of Maryland spent 1.8 million dollars in 2000 on activities related to exotic invasive species.

If I can make this, anyone can. It's a cinch, or at least once I got the zipper in it was--my first zipper experience, and it went well. I used a pattern (sort of) that my mom had on hand, but there is a link I've got pinned on Pinterest (error 503, unavailable, will upload that later) that has easy step-by-step directions to make your own easy pattern.
This was a free project for me, as we had the zipper and flannel on hand. Now that I have one under my belt, this might be a great gift to whip up for expectant mommies.

Men's Clothing Size Guide
Use this as a guide to find your perfect fit.
All Noose & Monkey tailoring is 'skinny' fit. To find your perfect fitting suit, as a rough guideline, we suggest for guys with a bigger/more muscular build to jump up from your normal size. For skinnier/more slender guys, we would suggest sticking to your normal size.
We create our jackets, waistcoats and trousers in a range of fabrics. Some fabrics have more stretch than others and will therefore effect the fit. For example Ellroy suits are a 53% Polyester / 43% wool/4% lycra blend which will stretch more than a velvet jacket with thicker fabric.
How You Measure Up
Back width: measure across your back, ensuring you go over your shoulder blades from under your arms.
Shoulder width: measure across the top of the shoulders.
Back length: the measurement from the neck to the bottom of the jacket or waistcoat.

You are invited to the founding and visioning meeting of the possible PC(USA) Peace Network for Korea (PNK)!
Dates: October 6th, 7th (Friday evening and Saturday morning and lunch)
Location: Stony Point Center, NY
A number of my colleagues have thought about how we are needing some kind of network or some way to connect US Presbyterians to peace work going on throughout the Korean peninsula. I am especially interested in an effective way to create a network that might be easily mobilized in connection to the peace movement activities of our partner in the National Council of Churches in Korea (NCCK) and their Reconciliation and Reunification Committee. For example, when our Peace Treaty Campaign has some activity or is asking people to write letters to US government representatives we could easily connect people to those actions alerts. We are open to other suggestions and visions. This network will likely connect to PC(USA) World Mission as a mission network and maybe also the PC(USA) Peacemaking Program as a kind of action network. We are exploring possibilities.
I am also dreaming about one day setting up some Peacemaking Travel Study Seminars to Korea that could connect US Americans to Koreans working for peace throughout South Korea (at least for now). That could be based on a workshop I helped the NCCK create in 2015.
Room and board at Stony Point will be covered by the Korean Mission of the PC(USA). We have spots for 10 people. We are unable to cover travel to Stony Point, unfortunately. Details of the schedule will be posted soon, we hope.
If you are able to join us for that one night in October, please email Kurt at kurt.pcusa.ncck {at} gmail.com. Also email any inquiries and we can talk about times for arrival or departure as well. If you cannot make the event but you would still like to join the network for future actions you may email that request as well!
Hope to see you there to help us dream of peace in Korea!

I sure hope you added the pork kabobs into your meal planning..... you won't be disappointed! Now onto some apple snack ideas. I encourage my kids to make healthy snack choices each day. They have done pretty well with their choices, in part based on their experience in the kitchen. I try to involve them as much as I can with meal prep. I find the more engaged they are with the food helps with their buy in.
Lets start with the most simple apple snack....sliced apples! There's nothing better than the crispy crunch of an apple. E & L love to take an apple as a school snack. Ella prefers hers sliced and Luke likes to just bite into it. We all know that once an apple is sliced, it begins to brown, which poses an issue for sliced apples as a school snack. I have purchased the presliced apple bags.. but they are just not the same. I find they have a different taste and texture and Ella has not been a fan. Enter this amazing life hack I stumbled across....are you ready?? Slice the apple using an apple slicer. Now rubberband it back together in it's original shape, keeping the core. Pack in the lunch box and when the rubberband comes off to eat....there is very minimal browning! I mean... I couldn't believe it! Lifechanging.....you're welcome :)
A sweeter, more decadent snack option is up next. Take your apple slices and top with 1 TBSP of melted nut butter (peanut,almond, or cashew). Now you can get creative... sprinkle with a few mini chocolate chips or coconut or chopped nuts... even sprinkles for the kids!
Last up is another simple option....warm cinnamon apples. This is perfect if you are looking for something sweet and want to avoid sitting down with a bag of cookies! Simply slice an apple (I leave the skin on) and add to a warm pan with a tsp of coconut oil. Saute the apple for about 3-5 minutes and then sprinkle with cinnamon. Perfect with a warm cup of tea on a fall night!
Those are some of my favorite apple snacks! Please share any ideas you have in the comments below.
Thanks for joining me in our first week here at The Family Table! The next few weeks I will be sharing some tips for meal planing, fall recipes, fall organization tips and of course Halloween fun! I hope to see you back next week... there's always room for one more at our family table!
Enjoy your weekend friends!

Other Amazing Companies That Use Virtual Assistants:
Streamline Your Business To Achieve Success Faster
Finding yourself overrun by tasks every day?
With the sheer number of tasks needed to be completed each day, running a business can be extremely tiring and stressful. Many of the repetitive tasks such as email are a massive time and focus drain on business people; with the average British worker spending '36 days a year answering work emails' and 'the average London worker receiving around 9,000 emails each year'.

The Albrighton Trust is looking for disabled and special needs young people aged 15 to 25 to take part in their outdoor activity programmes running throughout 2016.
The "Me & You" project has been funded by the Big Lottery in order to address the lack of opportunities for young disabled people during their transition years and to help them explore their options for the future. The six week programme is designed to build confidence and self esteem through participation in outdoor practical activities based around horticulture, conservation & wildlife and angling.
Throughout the programme participants have the opportunity to learn new skills, discover new interests and spend time outdoors in the tranquil, natural environment of the Albrighton http://ed-trio.com Moat and Gardens. It is hoped that during this initial six week stage the young people taking part will discover a new interest or passion which they can then choose, with the support of the "Me & You" team, to develop further.
For anyone who would like to find out more about this exciting opportunity the "Me & You" project team are holding open days at the Albrighton Moat and Gardens on the 14 March and 9 April. For more information contact them on 01902 372441 or email email@example.com.
The Albrighton Trust provides recreation, education and occupational activities for people of all ages with disabilities at the Albrighton Moat and Gardens – www.albrightontrust.org.uk.

Who said that when I got done with school I'd have so much more time on my hands?
Oh wait...
Maybe that was me.
I haven't.
Either that or I have become extremely lazy,
Which I don't think is possible for me because my brain might explode.
I certainly have found plenty of things to keep me busy:
Brick Oven
A new job as a Nanny for a little girl with CF
Date Nights
(I love having more time with Brian)
Car Buying
|We traded in my little Suzuki for a Nissan Murano.
Independent Study class
Kick-butt Cycling class
(some tutorials coming soon!)
Packing lunches for my WORKING MAN!!!
|This is first day as an official reporter for KUER.
Don't ask me how,
But Brian sits up at the legislature almost everyday
and finds something interesting to talk about.
He is loving it and has even expanded the never-ending job search to include radio positions.
Please keep praying for us!
Love much,
