Choosing A Home Pest Control Service
by Russ Frank
Some questions concerning an indoor pest control service will be answered when they meet you to provide an estimate. Was their personal appearance and manner professional? Were they on time for the appointment? If not did they call ahead to let you know? Was their vehicle well marked, clean and professional? Were they helpful and informative or did they try high pressure sales tactics?
One question to ask a pest control service is "How long have you been in business?" More experience is better. Another question is how much training and experience your technician will have? Professional home pest control companies are typically required to provide all licensed technicians with training annually or even more often.
"Are you licensed?" is a reasonable question. Check with your state to verify their answer. You should not do business with any home pest control company that is not 100% legal.
An important question to ask is whether the company is insured. Ask for a certificate of insurance. Verify it with the insurance company. Lack of insurance is a serious problem. Do not do business with a service that can't or won't verify their insurance.
What methods and techniques does the home pest control service use?. This question will help you understand how well they understand pest control. A professional will respond with an explanation about the importance of removing potential sources of food and shelter for the pests. Any treatment options must include methods of preventing the pests from entering the home.
Ask how will the company react to an infestation. Of course they'll come in to knock down the infestation, but then what? How will they ensure that the infestation won't re-occur? Home pest control professionals will explain how they'll break the life cycle of the pest.
Ask friends and neighbors for recommendation. This is the only way to evaluate a company's customer service. These recommendations will also help evaluate the effectiveness of the company's methods and techniques.
Do they belong to professional associations? Professional pest control associations offer many benefits to their members such as educational opportunities. Be wary of home pest control companies that don't belong to at least one professional association.
How do their prices and services compare with other pest control companies? Asking for bids from several pest control companies allows you to compare prices and services. While price is one factor, professional knowledge and customer service may be even more important.

Both Kate and William stepped out today at the first of three summer garden parties hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. They were joined by the Queen, Prince Philip, Princess Anne, and Princess Beatrice.
The lavish garden party was held in the afternoon sunshine, with 8,000 guests in attendance. According to E! Online, almost 27,000 cups of tea were served to those in attendance, and around 20,000 tea sandwiches were consumed.
These garden parties at the Palace are a summer tradition for the Queen, who will host three in London and one at Holyroodhouse, her residence in Edinburgh. The invitees are members of the public who have made a positive impact in their community, and the hostess herself was clad in a soft pink ensemble and was in fine, energetic form as she chatted with her guests.
For her second garden party of the week, the Duchess of Cambridge chose a familiar baby blue Christopher Kane coat dress that was first seen at the London Olympics in 2012, and again at The Order of the Garter in 2014. A matching hat by John Lock & Co. pulled the look together, along with her nude pumps.
Both Kate and William took the time to chat with the guests. According to the Daily Mail, when Kate was asked about her sister Pippa's upcoming nuptials on the weekend, and Prince George and Princess Charlotte's roles in the wedding, she said that she "was hopeful that they would be good, but you never know at that age."
Ever the picture-perfect couple, Kate and William coordinated their outfits for today's garden party. William's blue silk vest matched his wife's blue coat dress.
Stay tuned this weekend for our coverage of Pippa Middleton's wedding!

An ongoing series of classes presented by Trinity Cathedral's Iconography Institute taught by Fr. Jon Buffington
Trinity's Iconography Institute announces another in the ongoing cycle of iconography classes. This class will be an introduction to basic iconography for beginners wishing to learn the fundamental principles and techniques of design and creation of an icon; class sessions will provide students with the techniques necessary to execute an icon using egg tempera medium on a wood panel, from prototypes provided by the Instructor. Liturgical use and spiritual dimensions of icons will also be explored and practiced during the class, which will be conducted in the form of a prayerful, spiritual journey. Students should expect to complete a personal icon in this class.
Fr. Buffington has an extensive art background in various media; he has studied iconography with many noteworthy Master Iconographers in several countries, including the renowned Fr. Egon Sendler S.J. the noted French iconographer and author of an authoritative iconography instruction book.
Fr. Jon has executed a number of iconography commissions for churches and Institutions in Portland and the greater Pacific Northwest; one of his icons is in the personal collection of the Patriarch of Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey).
Classes are limited to 10 students, consisting of approximately 30 hours instruction and demonstration spread over 12 weeks.
Fees for the class are $250.00 for tuition plus $50 for administrative costs. The Instructor will provide a prepared wood panel and the prototype icon for each student to use. A supplies list will be provided at the first class; if you have not already purchased one for a prior class, students will need to buy a boxed kit of 22 @ ½ ounce jars of high-quality dry pigments from the Institute – necessary to complete their icon. The boxed pigment kit costs $40.
Demand for registration has historically been high, so early registration is recommended; class assignments will be made on a first-come-first-served basis.
Class details:
Iconography for Beginners
Mondays at 6.30 p.m. to 9 p.m. for 12 weeks beginning February 17
Held at:
Trinity Cathedral
147 NW 19th Ave
Portland, OR 97209
Tuition is $300 combined tuition and administration fees (plus paint pigments if necessary).

"The Science is Settled" – A look back 400 years.
It was February 1616 that it was officially decreed as such. In objective hindsight, let's take a look and celebrate how well that worked out on this 400th year anniversary.
Basically, the tenants of the 1616 argument centered on the known "settled" science of the day that the earth was fixed, and the rest moved around it.
Then this guy Galileo Galilei showed up at the party and created quite a controversy as a skeptic supporting the opinion that the sun stands still at the center of the world and the earth moves.
The (shall we say) establishment AG's of the world set off to shut him up for disturbing the popular fixed view, and organized an Inquisition under the urging of Pope Paul V to make sure. Galileo was ordered by law to "… to abandon the opinion that the sun stands still at the center of the world and the earth moves, and henceforth not to hold, teach, or defend it in any way whatever, either orally or in writing."
The sentence of the Inquisition was delivered on 22 June. It was in three essential parts:
- Galileo was found "vehemently suspect of heresy", namely of having held the opinions that the Sun lies motionless at the center of the universe, that the Earth is not at its center and moves, and that one may hold and defend an opinion as probable after it has been declared contrary to Holy Scripture. He was required to "abjure, curse and detest" those opinions. (Great Lawyer Speak.. and that 400 years ago to boot!)
- He was sentenced to formal imprisonment at the pleasure of the Inquisition. On the following day this was commuted to house arrest, which he remained under for the rest of his life.
- His offending Dialogue was banned; and in an action not announced at the trial, publication of any of his works was forbidden, including any he might write in the future.
"Finally!", they must have thought, the matter of skeptics has been put to rest. In modern 21st Century terms we say, "The Science is settled"….
Post Script:
Ah, the arrogance of the tiny human ego knows no bounds. We've been on this earth for a Nano Second of its 4.5 Billion year evolution.
As a perfectly elegant feedback system, Earth has managed to self-correct its various mega-disasters to get it to a point where humans can do their walkabouts.
Sadly, in our brief Nano Second, we actually believe we know better, how Earth got to here and what needs fixing. We superficially skip the tops of the waves in oceans that are (for humans) infinitely deep and still make Pollyanna Pronouncements on the whole as if it urgently matters in the grand scheme of things.
The Laws of unintended consequences never enter into the analysis, and we ping pong our disconnected logic from pillar to post, layering more trivial fixes on things that didn't need fixing from the outset.
So in looking back, how did that last cycle of "The Science is Settled" work out? I like the French wording best:
- plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
we are the hollow men…. headpiece filled with straw (TS Eliot)

Congratulations to team USA for winning it's first World Baseball Classic!!!
Also, congratulations to Puerto Rico for great performances throughout the 2017 WBC. Both teams should hold their heads high today.
Bringing you the best baseball talk around!
Congratulations to team USA for winning it's first World Baseball Classic!!!
Also, congratulations to Puerto Rico for great performances throughout the 2017 WBC. Both teams should hold their heads high today.
Preparing for the WBC 2017 tonight I began to look at the two teams who will take the field. I really hadn't paid much attention to the backgrounds of many of the players until I noticed how many of the players from Puerto Rico are not from Puerto Rico. Shouldn't you have to be from a country to play for that country?
Let's look at what I am talking about. Tonight's starting pitcher is Seht Lugo, who was born in Shreveport, LA. Likely first baseman, T.J Rivera is form Bronx, NY. Centerfield will be patrolled by Reymond Fuentes of Orlando, FL. Of the nine likely starting players one-third of them are not from Puerto Rico. By comparison all nine of the likely starters for the United States were born in the United States.
I understand that the Puerto Rican players are proud of where their family came from and am all for it, but if you were born in the U.S. what is wrong with playing for the U.S. I have a hard time believing there is not enough talent born in Puerto Rico to field and entire team.
In the end I guess no matter who wins the game tonight Americans will be winning.
Tonight there is a baseball game going on that actually has meaning. No, it's not a regular season MLB game or a college baseball game. It is the finals of the World Baseball Classic 2017.
Puerto Rico and the United States will face off in a one game, winner take all, affair at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles, CA with Seth Lugo and Marcus Stroman taking the hill. Sad thing is and this is merely a side note, many people will have no clue the game is being played because it can only be watched on the MLB Network. Really, we can't get Fox or some other main stream network to carry this game? Sorry, that was just a rant I had to go on.
Who will win this battle of all-star like teams?
Being that I am an American I have to say the U.S. will win, but I know it will be a nailbiter and could easily come down to who has the arms left at the back end of the bullpen.
Yesterday we highlighted pitchers that, due mostly to injury concerns, we will be avoiding in 2017 drafts. Today we thought it only fair to pay attention to the other side of the game and name some hitters we won't be drafting.
Yasiel Puig, OF Dodgers
There is a big hole in the outfield when it comes to quality fantasy players, one of the slimmest crop of usable players in a while. Even with that we will be avoiding Yasiel Puig. It is highly probably Puig will be traded in the offseason and a lot of people believe it will be to the Brewers, we agree with that by the way. Even if that happens and opens up his playing time we still believe he is too risky. He has not shown that he can be consistent nor stay healthy. He won't go high in drafts likely, but still we want to stay away.
Jay Bruce, OF Mets
Again, we know there are not a lot of great outfielders to choose from, but Jay Bruce is not someone you want next year. Since his trade to the New York Mets Bruce had been horrible. In 36 games he has a slash line of .192/.271/.315, with only 4 home runs. Question has been asked is he trying to prove too much to his new team or is this simply regression to the mean for him. We believe it is that latter. Last time Bruce his over .250 was in 2013 and it is clear to us that his hot season in Cincinnati was not the new norm for him, but just an extended hot streak.
Jose Bautista, OF Blue Jays
Maybe we should have tried a little harder to find players outside of the outfield, but it is just where we found players we don't want for 2017. Jose Bautista has his lowest batting average since 2005 when he hit .143. Next year he will be 36 years old and has progressively been showing signs of aging with declining performance and increasing time injured. He is still valued by most fantasy players as a high end option, but is not returning what you have to pay for him. He is likely going to finish the regular season with his first sub-25 home run season since 2009. If he isn't knocking the ball out of the park, isn't hitting for a good average and isn't driving in 100+ runs then he just doesn't provide enough value for where he will be drafted.
Daniel Murphy, 2B Nationals
Finally, a non-outfielder and probably a pick that has you scratching your head. Daniel Murphy has been a major break out star in his age 31 season and has given owners plenty to celebrate. However, is it really something he can do again next year? We predict that many fantasy owners will be drafting Murphy in the first three rounds and he will not return that value. It is very unlikely that at 32 Murphy will be able to repeat his 2016 season. He has made it known that he made changes to his batting stance to increase his power production, but even if that sticks next year he will more than likely fall off in batting average as he has his highest BABIP since 2008 at .350 that is not going to be repeated. He will be a very useful fantasy player in 2017, but not worth where you will have to draft him.
There are without a doubt a lot more players that will be on our do not draft list for 2017 like Miguel Sano, Joe Mauer, Mark Trumbo and Billy Hamilton, but we didn't have room to talk about them all here. Be on the lookout during the offseason however for more on why these players won't be on any of our fantasy baseball teams in 2017.

- Graduated from high school, and WANTED TO BURN THE INVITATION TO THE PROM AND THE GRAD CEREMONY! Did also wanted to burn the school but that was from how much I suffered there, and also the effect that my elementary school life had on me. Thinking stuff and feeling things is fine, but taking them into action and doing it is something else. Everyone thinks of beating up there mean, selfish, and maybe abusive bosses, but no one goes out and knocks them out or anything. Your actions is what shows who you are, not your thoughts. You may have really harsh feelings in you, but if you not let them corrupt you and so on, it shows that you are not what you look like, feel like, or what you think of.
- Walking home or to high school every day, with the thought of being surrounded with people laughing at me then seeing a bright light with someone reaching out to me then when I get close, they push me back down and laugh just like everyone else was. Was a real rough and depressing time for me. Also had thoughts of the place around me burning up, but that could have been from the depression and how I listened to a lot of metal bands and dark music ( goth and so on ).
- There was this one person who was on my mind for a real long time, few years actually, who I thought liked me and so on, but simply used me and played around with my emotions, one of the people who " helped " make the thought of being surrounded and so on far worse.
- Feeling trapped and no where to go even after graduating from college, not knowing what I wanted to do in life because every time I would think of something I wanted to become, and sometimes try to do it anyways, I would get a wave of emotion, of all the times I suffered and feeling as though things will be real bad and so on. I was in a state of mind that no matter what I wanted to do AT ALL, no matter what it was, I couldn't ( career wise, like job and so on ).
These were only a few of the thoughts and feelings that I had in the past. The reason I am mentioning all this is because these are the effects one can and most likely will happen to someone who has been suffering from bullying, abuse, and so on for a real real long time, to the point that they lose their sense of thought, sense of feeling, sense of being themselves and focus on simply proving people wrong, or worse. I say worse when it comes to something worse than " focusing on proving people wrong " because that type of focus can lead one to forget about what they truly want to become in life and more focused on doing things that they feel others can't, then when it comes to becoming something they want to be, they will feel trapped as I have been. If something isn't done about these bullies and abusers ( the one who abuse, just clarifying ), and so on BEFORE it gets worse, this will continue to happen over and over and over, to more and more people.

in between
Hi guys!
Phew. The hectic weekend is finally over! Today was the last day of Hola Mexico Pop Up Market held by Platform and Oudre was a part of it! :)
Honestly, we were quite unprepared at the very beginning as it was our first time officially participating in a bazaar but thankfully nothing biggie and we learned so much from the past few days. Hopefully we can do better at next pop up market!
Thanks everyone for shopping at our booth!
Most of all, thank you for my partners who have been helping me around with the bazaar and stuff. Also thanks to my family for the big support and my friends who have came all the way to show up at our booth!
I feel like I have been posting a lot of all white outfit lately but what can I say. White is really versatile, isn't it? I used to love wearing bright colours but I guess my style has been transitioning to more neutrals lately. You can guess that by looking at my wardrobe lol like I have many stacks of white and black clothes, and only ONE stack of the other colours other than black and white wtf.
Introducing my new obsession - culotte! This one was actually from Oudre's upcoming collection but unfortunately we ran out of the stock from the latest bazaar :(
We are trying to restock, so fingers all crossed!
Top from Culottesofficial.
Coming to the end of this post, it's time to announce the winner of Polette x Phankova giveaway! So sorry for the long wait!
The winner is...

Congrats, Astri! Please contact me by email at firstname.lastname@example.com :)

CNET Update
HBO Now promotes launch with Iron Thrones on UberMother of CNET Updates Bridget Carey takes HBO's Uber promotion for a spin, and discusses how HBO's new streaming service handles demand for "Game of Thrones". Also: Guitar Hero returns and GameStop goes retro.
When you play the game of thrones you stream, or you can Uber. I'm Bridget Carey and this your CNet update. [MUSIC] Game of thrones has been all the buzz this week as the season premiere kicked off with the launch of HBO Now, but before we get to that there are quite a few other games making headlines. For starters. Classic guitars are making a comeback. Guitar Hero is relaunching after a four-year hiatus. This time around, instead of cartoonish animations representing you in the game. There are real, human actors on stage and in the crowd. With the first person perspective, you can see the audience and your band members react to your performance. The guitar itself is different, with six buttons and two rows at the top of the neck. The game is also keeping things fresh by mixing in music videos and the ability to have others watch you live and compete with. Players world wide. It's coming out this fall for $100. And, speaking of classic games, GameStop will begin trading used games from old-school systems, including the NES, Super NES, and Sega Genesis. Starting April 25th about 250 stores in test markets around New York City and Birmingham, Alabama will buy and sell retro consuls and games. It could expand the program nationwide if there is enough interest in the pilot. Those in the test regions can trade-in and buy games from the 80's and 90's including titles from the original. PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and Sega Dreamcast. All eyes this week are on HBO Now, the new standalone internet streaming service. The network seems to have passed its first major test on Sunday during the Game of Thrones season. Season premiere, as there weren't any major outages or streaming hiccups, but Dish's Sling TV streaming service has not been as fortunate. Some customers who tried to watch HBO from Sling's Roku app complained of issues. Which Dish acknowledged on its blog and apologized. When you play the game of streaming television, you win or you die. Because if people have problems now, it may be hard to convince others to join in and cut the cable cord. HBO now is in full promotion mode for its $15 a month stand alone app. And as part of that promotion. It's working with Uber in New York City to let anyone take a seat on the show's iconic iron throne. If you're in New York on thursday and friday enter the promotion code throne rides in the Uber app. Along with hailing a car you'll be able to summon a ride in a petty cab designed to look like a throne, or you can request the actual throne in a truck delivered to your realm. Several of these thrones will be traveling in glass trucks. Encouraging you to Tweet to the Seven Kingdoms with hashtags, Ride of Thrones.

Jefferson Parish remains intent on proving one of Mark Twain's best-known aphorisms.
According to Twain, "In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards."
God has really got the hang of it now. Jefferson school board members, having paid $26,000 for an investigator to warn they were in danger of being sued, did not bother to read his report. Now, two years later, they are being sued, and taxpayers seem certain to be stuck with a substantial bill for damages. The plaintiff, Sharon Hunter, quit her job as an executive assistant in 2015 after 12 years with the board, alleging constant abuse and harassment by Cedric Floyd, a board member who was its president at the time. If Floyd is not a bully and a loudmouth, countless people who have crossed his path over the years have conspired in a slander.
Indeed, the attorney representing Hunter, Michael Delesdernier, used to be a member of the board too and therefore can have needed no persuasion that Floyd is liable to go berserk at any moment. Delesdernier was always at loggerheads with Floyd and was once in sufficient fear of violence to take out a restraining order. And Floyd's ire was by no means limited to political opponents. There was, for instance, that time he broke the windshield on his wife's car when his grown son was trying to drive off in it.
It sounds like the office from hell, if a report about actions of a Jefferson Parish School …
Floyd has been in government for many years — as CEO for Kenner before a couple of stints on the school board — without ever threatening to gain universal respect and trust. When she was superintendent of schools, Diane Roussel refused to talk to Floyd without a tape recorder or a witness. When Hunter filed a grievance with the board, attorney I. Harold Korestky was retained to investigate. He delivered his report in October 2015, a month after Hunter quit her job, unable, she says, to stand Floyd's maltreatment any longer. Three months passed before the board so much as entertained a motion on the report. First, the board declined to discuss the report in public, and then five of its nine members voted against taking it up even in executive session.
The Advocate sought a copy of the report but was turned down on grounds that "personnel" records were exempt from the public records act. Thus was a veil drawn over the alleged misdeeds of a politician cataloged in a report compiled at public expense. If that is what the law allows, then it surely needs amendment. The Advocate's curiosity about the contents of the report was not shared by most of the board members. Koretsky's work was cast aside unread, while Hunter complained to the federal Equal Opportunity Commission. The board's behavior is inexplicable without recourse to Twain's theory.
The attempt to keep the Koretsky report secret was doomed anyway, for it was clearly germane to the federal lawsuit Hunter filed in March. Now, it has been added to the court record — much to Delesdernier's satisfaction, no doubt — and the whole world can read Korestky's conclusion that Hunter's complaint "had merit."
With the deadline nearing to make changes to the Jefferson Parish School Board's agenda for …
Had board members been more interested in what they had gotten from Korestky for the taxpayer's money, they might have addressed her complaints long before she filed her suit. Now she has the board's own report to adduce against it. Korestky found that Floyd had not broken the board's rule against "harassment" largely because his unwanted attentions were not sexual, but they did constitute abuse "abuse of office."
Although board members are supposed to keep their noses out of day-to-day administration and communicate with employees through the superintendent, Floyd acted as though Hunter was his personal assistant, calling her 1,000 times and texting her 400 times, over seven months, even though he had her work desk moved into his office. Other employees attested to Floyd's habit of making unreasonable demands and communicating with Hunter by yelling and screaming.
Korestky suggested the board might not allow Floyd to occupy an "officer position" until he had completed an anger management course. The board could be in trouble if Hunter filed a "suit seeking emotional damages," Korestky reported.
Even an idiot should have seen that.

An article by Lee Block from The Huffington Post discusses the "Child Support Myths and Legends." Our Pennsylvania Child Custody attorneys will tell you that there are indeed many myths surrounding the child custody process that should be dispelled before beginning a child custody battle.
In general, Pennsylvania's standard for child custody cases is what is in the best interests of the child. However, many parties enter the child custody process with preconceived notions as to how their case will turn out. Our blog today will discuss these "myths" as laid out by Ms. Block's article.
Myth #1: Women want Child Support so that they don't have to work and support themselves.
Ms. Block's article discusses this myth and dispels it by stating that "[a]person who pays child support or receives it, knows that it does not cover the mortgage or rent, utilities, food, clothing and all the other expenses that come up." Child Support is meant to be a form of supplemental funds to use for the parties' children, and the intent of Pennsylvania child support is not to allow one of the parents to stop working entirely.
Ms. Block also states in her article that a person's mortgage payments and consistent monthly expenses do not change whether or not that person has their children with them all of the time or part of the time. So, the idea that child support is supposed to cover expenses in all aspects of the dependent party's life is simply not true.
Myth #2: If my child's other parent doesn't pay child support, I can withhold custody of our child.
This is not the case in Pennsylvania. In PA, the duty to pay child support and custody rights are not interconnected. This means that your child support obligation is ongoing regardless of whether you are getting to see your children frequently. If you are not able to spend the time you think is proper or what you were provided with under a PA child custody order, do not automatically assume that you can stop paying your child support.
Myth #3: A mother will retain custody of the children unless the father can show that she is "unfit."
Not true. Under PA law, there is no longer a presumption that a mother is a better parent or more "fit" than a father. A Pennsylvania court will consider the particular circumstances of the family and award custody based on what is in the best interests of the child.
Myth #4: The parent who maintains custody during the week has legal custody of the child.
This is not true. Many PA child custody orders will provide for a legal custody provision, setting forth the parties' rights for making major life decisions involving the child. Just because one parent has custody time during the week, or presumably while the child is in school, that does not automatically give that parent the power to make all decisions regarding the child's schooling, religion, or medical care. If the parties are court ordered to have shared legal custody, then that parent must always consult the other parent prior to making important decisions on the child's behalf.

Hokay. First off, sorry for vanishing from all social media and internet stuff in general for the past week. I've hit a few small snags with my writing that have taken up all of my time. Nothing major, don't panic. In my opinion, hitting snags is a good thing. They're opportunities for learning and improvement.
In the wake of that, I have several announcements. I don't think they're going to be that controversial, but I'm not sure. Try not to hate me, either way.
First off, I have closed my Patreon page. (The now-defunct links to it will be removed from the website in the next few days.) This part of my author platform just wasn't getting much of a response, so I've weeded it out so I can focus on more lucrative stuff. I'm not bothered about it; it was a worthwhile experiment. I think, overall, I prefer just releasing stories the conventional way rather than getting people to sign up for a subscription model.
Second, I've tweaked the release schedule for upcoming Beaumont and Beasley books. *ducks to avoid flying vegetables*
I'M SORRY. I had to. You see, when I was editing the draft of The Mirror of Rorrim, I realized that it was mushrooming into something too large for one 50K-word book. Also, some of the things that happen in it require some build-up beforehand.
So I've inserted three books before it. Don't worry, they're not "filler episodes," like 60% of the episodes of Lost seriously what was up with that show AHEM I digress. The point is, important stuff happens in each of these new books. And in the end, they will make the culmination of these story arcs all the more satisfying.
And by "culmination," I don't mean the end of the series. Just the end of Season One, which should be concluding around the middle of next year.
I'm not quite ready to reveal the new release date for The Mirror of Rorrim or the titles/covers of the other books. I will soon, just not today. Another one of my announcements is that I'm going to reboot the website this week with a new theme that will allow visitors to browse my work more easily. It will also include a full calendar of all the stories I have planned for the foreseeable future.
So what about Beaumont and Beasley Book 3? Well, I could potentially still make it happen on November 17th, but I'm not going to. I'd rather give myself a little more time so that everything goes as smoothly as possible. I sincerely apologize for the lack of firm release dates this year. It's a consequence of me figuring out my author platform and learning about this business as I go. Next year, I'll be more strict about when books are released.
On the bright side, I'm delaying the release date by less than two weeks.
THE STROKE OF ELEVEN–Coming November 30 2017
The adventures of Beaumont and Beasley are at an end.
The Council of Scions has finally caught up with Nick Beasley and his friends–and the sinister enchantress Madame Levesque has plans for them. Nick and Cordelia must solve an ancient mystery for her. Otherwise, Crispin and Molly will be lost forever.
The investigation leads Nick and Cordelia to the Castle of Basile, a bizarre place detached from space and time. Old friends are trapped there, and Nick and Cordelia are soon imprisoned along with them. Their jailer is the Fairy Godmother from the tale of Cinderella…who turns out to be far less benevolent than the storybook version.
A masked man offers to help–but can the White Rabbit really be trusted? What is Cinderella's dark secret?
And what will happen when the clock strikes twelve?
Yeah, this one's REALLY not a filler episode. Shocking stuff here, people. Brace yourselves. You're in for a lot of surprises.
I'll be releasing more info on this and other books in the near future, so watch out for that and for my shiny new website. Again, I'm sorry about making these major changes, but I promise it will all be for the best. In the end, you'll get more Beaumont and Beasley as a result. How could that possibly be a bad thing?

Exploranium ST-20
Exploranium® ST-20 Spectroscopic Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM)
The ST-20 RPM is a fixed spectroscopic radiation-scanning portal that detects, locates and identifies radioactive material in trucks, containers and railcars.
ST-20 Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM) detects and identifies nuclear material in trucks, containers, railcars and other vehicles in the normal flow of traffic — meeting or exceeding challenging ANSI performance standards. Combining outstanding performance with high throughput, the ST-20 is a powerful, practical scanning solution for busy cargo facilities.
The ST-20 RPM can sense extremely low levels of gamma and neutron radiation, with a false-alarm rate better than 1:10,000. In compliance with the ANSI N42.38-2006 standard, the ST-20 RPM can identify a wide variety of nuclides — including materials that could be used in a nuclear weapon or "dirty bomb," even when they are heavily shielded or masked.
To help keep traffic flowing, the ST-20 RPM can scan vehicles in the normal flow of traffic at gates or other checkpoints. A single ST-20 supervisor workstation can control up to 32 RPMs. Easy-to-use operator software provides alarms, scanning displays, radiation measurements, vehicle images and more. Scanning data and images are integrated in the system database for easy access.
The ST-20 RPM can greatly reduce manual inspections by distinguishing potential weapon material from likely benign sources, and can speed up manual inspections by showing the location of radioactive sources within the vehicle.
Leidos is a world leader in RPM technology, with over 5,000 installations for government and commercial clients around the world. Every RPM is backed by our dedicated installation, training, maintenance and technical support.

It's amazing to me how often I awake in the morning to the same view in Chilliwack, but it never looks the same twice. There's always something new, different or surprising to take notice of.
The Broad View of Our World
One morning I went onto our deck to see a glorious sunrise with the bright sun glowing vibrantly through a great fir tree while bathing the silhouette of Mt. Cheam and neighboring mountains in a soft glow.
Too bad about all the power wires and rooftops encroaching on that wonderful view.
The Minute View of Our World
A couple of days prior Mark was working in the garden when I suddenly heard Mark call out, asking for the camera. He took this great image of a beautiful, furry, ivory colored caterpillar.
I did a search on the internet but was unable to find anything even close to the description, and therefore I was unable to identify it. If anyone knows what this is, we'd love to know.

Almost 40 per cent of Telegraph Fantasy Football managers have invested in the Russian superstar, and all of them are certain to have shared Wenger's frustration at coach Guus Hiddink's handling of the prized asset.
Arshavin (TFF Rating: £5.5m) was already nursing a groin injury in the build up to Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Wales at the Millennium Stadium, but he still played a full 90 minutes in the Eastern European powerhouses' comfortable 3-1 win.
"He should not have played," said Wenger. "He will be out for Wednesday and certainly Wigan. He had a groin problem which I took him out after Manchester United. He should not have played. You can say a lot, but it doesn't do a lot. The French players came back last night and are ok."
The Gunners certainly missed their star man at Manchester City where they fell to a heavy 4-2 defeat, proving his worth to both Wenger and TFF managers alike.
So, what now? Well there are several ways to go....
Keep him in: the beauty of TFF is that one or two weeks without Arshavin won't harm your totals too much. Hold your nerve and the pint-sized predator is sure to make up the missing points over season - and it won't cost you a transfer.
Go like-for-like: Arshavin's Arsenal colleague Cesc Fabregas is back from injury and raring to go, and at £5.0m you'll be left with half a mill' in the bank to play with. Dirk Kuyt (£5.3m) represents another option, although he is unlikely to bag as many points.
Trade down and ride out the injury: the most sensible path to travel. Buy an in-form cheapie like Aaron Lennon (£3.7m), keep the cash in the bank and buy back Arshavin when his groin heals. It'll cost you two transfers but you won't miss out on those all-important Andrei points.
What do you think? Will you be replacing Arshavin? Or holding firm?

British Columbia snowboard maverick Max Jenke hits new heights and wins $25,000 in consulting services in BDC online contest
MONTREAL, June 17, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) today announced that the turning point project, Brand Endeavor—submitted by finalist Max Jenke, founder of Endeavor Design in Vancouver, British Columbia— received the second-highest number of votes in the 2013 BDC Young Entrepreneur Award contest. Endeavor Design has won $25,000 in BDC consulting services that will help the company drive sales in the U.S. market and propel global business growth.
The runner-up project involves scaling up marketing in order to secure a bigger share of the vast market south of the border and realize the full potential of his three complementary brands. "As we formalize our plans, BDC Consulting will bring an objective perspective and valuable outside feedback," he says. "The online contest was a real education in social marketing. As a global brand, we learned how well a community-based social marketing strategy could work. It was awesome having the whole snowboarding industry behind us."
"Max's project promises to blaze new trails for his company, adding to its global reach," says Michel Bergeron, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Public Affairs at BDC. "The BDC Consulting services he receives will add complementary expertise to help Endeavor Design take its plans to the next level and advance the company's strong growth prospects."
Max was amazed by the massive supporter response: "We made this about snowboarding, not about the company, and it was exciting to see people rallying behind it. We're utterly overwhelmed by how many people came through for us, every single day. It's humbling. To all of you, I can only say thank you!"
The 2013 BDC Young Entrepreneur Award winner and the recipient of the $100,000 grand prize, is the project Equipment Edge, submitted by Joel Pinel of WOW Factor Media in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
Nine projects competed for Canada's votes in the 2013 BDC Young Entrepreneur Award online voting contest which ran from May 22 to June 11. The following finalists described, via video, a turning point their company has reached and their solution to achieve future growth and success:

Community Projects
The CPD is typically involved in 5-10 projects each semester. Some of those projects involve one major event. Other long term projects extend across several semesters and involve many events.
Current Semester Initiatives
Community Issues Forum
Beyond Partisan Politics: Bridging Divides through Authentic Engagement & Storytelling
What a success! We has a great turnout to this event. About 120 participants came out to talk about authentic engagement. We even had Conversketch come out to provide a graphic recording of the event.
A big thanks to the Community Equity Consortium and the Poudre River Public Library District for partnering with us on this project.
If you missed this event CLICK HERE to view the presentation we used on May 3rd.
Interfaith Dialogue
This event is focused more on dialogue than deliberation so that patrons can talk about personal stories, listen to other people`s experiences and learn to understand and respect other people`s views.
Alcohol Forums with SPCM 207 Students
In past semesters CPD students facilitate conversations with the SPCM 207 students about general substance abuse issues in their community, but this spring, the conversation was specific to alcohol abuse. Three approaches were discussed for this topic; ways in which the community can be better protected from the dangers of alcoholism, how the community can help people with alcohol problems, and thinking of ways to change how society encourages alcoholism.
Colorado Leadership Alliance Summit
In January of 2017 the CPD ran an event with undergraduate students across Colorado. The small groups discussed different views and experiences on core curriculum courses. Along with the diversity of colleges at this event, students also varied in age, degree and experience with deliberative processes.
Ongoing and Past Initiatives
Partnership with City's Public Engagement Team
For the past several semesters, the CPD has partnered with the city of Fort Collins to host a Community Issues Forum focused on issues currently of interest to the city council. We work directly with Ginny Sawyer, Project and Policy Manager for the City of Fort Collins to choose the topics each semester.
Downtown Behavioral Issues
In the fall we focused on the issue of downtown behavioral issues. Community members discussed what could be done to improve some unwelcome visitor behaviors in the Old Town area. Additionally, the CIF built upon the work of Neighborhood Leadership discussions that have occurred over the last year. Community members were asked to consider different models for neighborhood organization, whether that be more formal (like boards and commissions) or less formal (like block parties).
The Art of Belonging
At the Spring 2016 Community Issues Forum, over 100 community members gathered to discuss what it means to belong in Fort Collins. The event was held on April 27, from 6-8pm at the Lincoln Center.
We asked participants to discuss opportunities for growth, current resources, and action items for creating a city that makes each community member feel like they belong.
We've tallied the results and what we found out might surprise you. Read the full report to find out more. You can also access the printer friendly version or just the executive summary. If you want to see the notes from the event, check out the raw data report.
The Larimer County landfill will reach capacity in 10 years. The CPD worked to help launch the North Front Range Wasteshed Planning project to focus on future planning. Working with officials from Larimer County, Fort Collins, Loveland, and Estes Park, the CPD and the Larimer County Facilitation Group, the CPD helped facilitate an all-day stakeholder event in October. While one event has been executed, organizers plan on continuing this topic as a long-term project.
A Great Place to Retire
Fort Collins has won awards for being "a great place to retire," but how do we grow to maintain that reputation? During the fall and spring of 2011-12 the CPD worked with the Fort Collins Senior Center and the Fort Collins Senior Advisory Council of the City of Fort Collins on a project entitled "Growing Older in Fort Collins" that engaged the community on issues related to changing demographics and the growing number of retirees (aka the "Silver Tsunami").
We held three major events those two semesters, typically numbering more than 100 participants at each. The project won an award from the Colorado Association of Senior Centers.
Senior Transportation Coalition
In the summer of 2012, the project expanded to the county level, working primarily with the Larimer County Office on Aging and the Foundation on Aging, a private foundation. Based on results from the first year, we decided to focus on transportation issues, and formed a new coalition named the Senior Transportation Coalition. That group has researched senior transportation issues, and in March of 2014 held to "Reinventing Transportation" forums. In the summer of 2013, a group from the Office on Aging and Foundation on Aging was awarded a grant from the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (N4A) to develop an age-friendly plan.
The CPD assisted with an all day workshop in February 2014, which focused on four key areas: mobility and access, housing, health and wellness, and the culture of aging. After a summer workshop in August run by N4A, several specific projects were launched in the four priority areas. One of those events will be a candidate forum focused on aging issues, which will be sponsored by the CPD and moderated by CPD Director Martin Carcasson.
In May 2015, the CPD assisted with the 2015 Aging Summit. The all day event included national speakers including Sandy Markwood, the CEO of the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging and Andrew Scharlach, Ph.D., Kleiner Professor of Aging at UC Berkeley, as well as Colorado's State Demographer, Elizabeth Garner, and CSU's Regional Economist Martin Shields.
Improving Fort Collins Neighborhoods
CPD and the city of Fort Collins Neighborhood Resources department has worked together since Nov. 2014 to strengthen the role and leadership capacity of neighborhoods in Fort Collins. The Neighborhood Connections project will now be going into a pilot process during the summer of 2015 to identify some key leaders and neighborhoods that will work with the city.
Creating Change Throughout School Districts
Poudre Think Tank
In 2008, CPD Director Martín Carcasson trained twelve Poudre School District Think Tank students in grades 9-12 as CPD facilitators during a daylong workshop. The PSD Think Tank helps shape school policy decisions, serving as a voice of students and acting as a liaison to leadership groups like the PSD Board of Education, Superintendent's Cabinet and City of Fort Collins. Additional trainings were held in February 2011 and February 2013 for the new cohort of students. The Poudre School District received the 2011 Commissioner's Choice Award for Engaging Students as Leaders by Governor Hickenlooper in 2011, in large part to the work of the PSD Think Tank.
During the 2012-2013 year, the CPD and the Think Tank worked together to develop a process to engage middle school students on bullying issues. During the past year Think Tank students assisted with the National Conversation on Mental Health projects. The CPD hosted another facilitation workshop in February 2015 with 16 Think Tank students. Those students also worked with the school board and district leadership all that morning. During the spring of 2016, the CPD worked with the Think Tank to host Mental Health Forums at Fort Collins High School, as well as assisted with the Weeding out the Facts event at Poudre High School.
Parent Engagement in the 21st Century
For the past several years, CPD Director Martin Carcasson has assisted the St. Vrain Valley School District with their award-winning Leadership St. Vrain parent engagement training program. CPD students have also assisted with numerous projects over the years with the St. Vrain school district, including a process on classroom technology in spring 2015, and forums on school safety in spring 2014. Dr. Carcasson is now also working with the 27J School District in Brighton and the Adams 12 School District in Thornton on their new parent engagement processes.
Colorado State University
Colorado State University (CSU) has formed a task force to examine the issue of affordable housing for CSU employees. The CPD is assisting the Affordable Housing Initiative. Forums were held in the fall of 2015 and January of 2016.
Community Forum for Change
United Way of Larimer County
On November 12, 2015, the CPD, working with the United Way and Bill Fulton of Colorado Civic Canopy, hosted the Community Forum for Change at the Fort Collins Senior Center. Data is currently being compiled. We continue to work with the United Way on this project, tied to the concept of Collective Impact.

The school has a thriving parents' association which does a brilliant job of supporting the school, sometimes proposing ambitious social events which bring staff, parents and children together – sometimes raising funds for the school and sometimes coming up with reasons just to have fun.
The RHSA was formed in 1987 and has never faltered since its inception. Membership of the RHSA is open to all parents and guardians of pupils in the school, also current teachers, support staff and former pupils.
The committee consists of ten members; its chairman is appointed at the AGM for a period of one year. The RHSA has a close relationship with the Head of the school (who is an ex-officio member of the committee) and plays a key role in liaising between her and the parent body.
All new parents are invited to join the RHSA; the school also asks for parents from all year groups to act as 'Form Representatives'. The representatives attend meetings with the Head on a regular basis to feed back questions and comments from other parents.

First, I listened to peoples' stories.
And compiled a list of common challenges
Since I'm not a doctor, I focused on daily living challenges, such as:
I chose to focus on sweeping as case study, and started with the following:
Observation: People sweep in various positions, but a rotating motion is most common. Rotational movement requires two hands.
My goal: Design a way to sweep using a single arm.
Developing the Solution
Using forearm crutches as inspiration, I explored various hand grip positions combined with a forearm cuff.
Functional Testing
A rounded cuff-like shape stays on the arm, provides the most leverage.
Refining the Solution
In conjunction with foam core prototypes, I sketched out various means of gripping a bar, even examining a fencers' handgrip at one point.
Final Design Direction
A simple cuff-like shape with a horizontal bar does the trick! A nod to Michael Graves' cleaning products provides materials and shape inspiration.
Final Rendering
Features and Benefits
Easy snap on/off clip to remove the handle. The "Single Sweep" handle could be used with a broom, but also with a mop, a vacuum cleaner, etc.
Material: molded ABS plastic with soft-to-the-touch inner coating.
Rubber coating on cross bar to increase grip.
Rubber coating on cross bar to increase grip.
Broom handle adjusts to allow for a people of various heights to use it comfortably.
Designed for right or left handed users
