Read Kathleen's essay, "Like Obama, these kids say 'Yes, we can.'" It was a full page feature on the Sunday Commentary page in the Chicago Sun-Times.
I write on behalf of a 127-year-old institution, Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago, founded in 1882, 93 years after our nation's first presidential inauguration.
I write on behalf of a hospital that has been guided by the same principles that have moved our nation — independence, dignity and democracy (no child is turned away because of an inability to pay) — and by the spirit of its citizens — children.
I write on behalf of Mark, Alex, Liam, Lissette, Yali, Stephanie, Jamarielle, Sabeeh, Jacob and Jovan, who is affectionately called the "Mayor of the Fourth Floor" for his bully pulpit speeches and rousing jokes that lighten the heart and are IV's to the soul.
I write on behalf of Shawn, who carried the Olympic Torch as it passed through Chicago to Salt Lake City in 2002. Shawn, who underwent 78 surgeries and "ran" the torch relay in a wheelchair, brought the torch back to the hospital so that every child could touch it and know the impossible was possible.
I write on behalf of Lazar, whose journey back to life came through the poetry of two nations, whispered to him for days after a freak accident submerged his stroller in the lake. When he closed his eyes, he knew one language. When he next opened his eyes, he could also speak the language of his caregivers.
I write on behalf of Matt, who finished law school despite a return of his cancer and a limb amputation, who climbed Mt. Shiomo in Israel on one leg, whose east-to-west grin belied all his struggles as he held his prosthesis high and waved to the world from the mountain's summit. He believed.
I write on behalf of Mark, who was hospitalized on Christmas when he was 12, and who vowed he would return each year with toys so every child would have gifts. The first year he brought 100 toys, the next 1,000, and each year the number grew. Mark lost his battle cancer in 2006, but this year the toy drive that his family and community continue in his name brought 30,000 toys to the hospital. His spirit endures.
I write on behalf of Kendall, who at 11 years of age watched an Oprah show about AIDS orphans in Africa and knew she had to do something. Despite a chronic disease and undergoing two liver transplants, Kendall, who is now a sophomore in high school, founded a movement that recruited other kids to help children in need worldwide. The movement, "Kids Caring 4 Kids," has raised $700,000 with a goal of $1 million. She believes.
I write on behalf of Tom, whose Make-A-Wish was for a penguin, and when gently asked to reconsider, said, "OK, if I can't have a penguin, I want to meet the Pope."
He traveled to Rome carrying handwritten notes and messages from fellow patients that he placed in the arms of the pontiff as both petition and blessing.
I write on behalf of Jake, 9, who fought back from paralysis to re-learn to swallow, talk and walk. This Sunday, for the second year, he will climb 80 floors of the Aon Center with his family to raise funds for the hospital that saved his life. Yes we can.
I write on behalf of Stephanie, who as a young girl sang the national anthem at White Sox Park, despite undergoing intense chemotherapy, who battled through a brain tumor, strokes and a heart attack, and who last summer traveled to Washington, D.C., as a gifted college student and as the Illinois representative of the National Association of Children's Hospitals to petition lawmakers not to cut Medicaid funding that would impair children's lives. Not this time.
I write on behalf of what I have learned from these amazing children, that moments powerfully lived become testimony, become tribute.
The inauguration of our 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama, is one of those moments. His election is a tribute to the spirit of young and old coming together in a union that is indivisible as long as it has at its heart liberty and justice for all.

A myocardial perfusion scan examines the blood flow to your heart at rest and while your heart is working harder as a result of exertion or a special medication. The test provides images that can show areas of low blood flow through the heart that may need additional treatment. Heart Center of Nevada is able to perform this test right in our office by trained technicians being overseen by our board-certified cardiologists.
If you are having chest pain, your cardiologist may recommend a perfusion study as a way to take a closer look at the blood vessels that supply the heart. This test allows clinicians to see if any of your coronary arteries are blocked, which can lead to chest pain. If so, they may recommend further interventions to open the blocked arteries such as an angiogram.
Your test will take place in our Nuclear Medicine room. The testing area is supervised by a cardiologist. The test involves taking two sets of images of your heart — one while you're at rest and another after you heart is "stressed" by medication (radioactive tracer).
In a myocardial perfusion scan the lab technician will inject a radioactive dye into your bloodstream to either speed up the heart rate or dilates the arteries. When the peak heart rate is reached, the patient is injected again with a medication through an IV that increases blood flow to your heart muscle — simulating what exercise does — for the test. Depending on which medication is used, possible side effects may be similar to those caused by exercise, such as a flushing or shortness of breath. As soon as it has circulated throughout the bloodstream the gamma camera takes more pictures. This phase of the procedure is called the "stress scan" of the heart. The camera will record images that show blood flow through your heart during exercise. These images will be compared to the first set.
- DO NOT eat or drink anything after midnight the day of the test. If you must take medications, drink only small sips of water.
- Avoid all products that contain caffeine for 24 hours before the scan because it can interfere with test results. This includes coffee (caffeinated and decaffeinated), tea, soft drinks, and most chocolate products.
- DO NOT smoke the day of test, as nicotine will interfere with the results.
Please bring a copy of all of your medications, including over-the-counter medications and supplements you routinely take, to the appointment. You can review and print the forms at the top of the page for more information. Please follow these guidelines about taking your medications the day of the test:
Medications with caffeine
DO NOT take any over-the-counter medication that contains caffeine for 24 hours before the test.
If you have asthma
DO NOT take theophylline (Theo-dur) for 48 hours before the test. Please bring your asthma inhaler medication to the test.
If you have diabetes
If you take insulin to control your blood sugar, ask your cardiologist how much insulin you should take the day of the test. Your cardiologist may tell you to take only half of your usual morning dose and to eat a light meal four hours before the test. If you take pills to control your blood sugar, do not take your medication until after the test is complete. Bring your diabetes medications with you. Do not take your diabetes medication and skip a meal before the test. If you own a glucose monitor, we recommend you bring it with you to check your blood sugar levels before and after your test. If you think your blood sugar is low, tell the technician immediately. Plan to eat and take your blood sugar medication following your test.
If you take heart medications
DO NOT take the following heart medications on the day of the test unless your cardiologist tells you otherwise, or unless it is needed to treat chest discomfort the day of the test:
If you have any questions about your medications, please call any office before your test. Do not discontinue any medication without first talking with your cardiologist.
Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes.
We ask that you call our office to cancel or reschedule your scan at least 24 hours prior. You may be charged a fee if not because the medication ordered cannot be used on another patient.
The myocardial perfusion scan has the ability to identify:
After the cardiologist reviews the images from your scan, the results will go into your electronic medical record. A follow-up appointment will made to discuss your results. Your referring physician will also have access to the results.

As a health-conscious person, you've probably seen it all when it comes to dietary recommendations. Fat is bad. No, wait, it's actually sugar that makes you fat. Bring on the omega 3's!
Protein has become pretty trendy, too. With so many low carb diets out there, protein is filling the gap. "We aren't known as a country that's low in protein," Dawn Jackson Blatner, R.D., author of The Flexitarian Diet, told Women's Health. "These days, most of the hot fad diets are very pro-protein."
Even though we're so focused on it, many of us still fall short when it comes to protein intake. Not sure if you're missing out? Read on to see if any of these symptoms sound familiar.

Go to the manufacturers web site and do a search I.E. ( HP Laser jet XXXXX Drivers )
The X's are the model number. If its HP, go to HP, if its Dell, then Dell and so forth. They are free and usually not to hard to find but you will have to do a little searching. Download the drivers and install it, then burn the setup files you downloaded onto a CD and label it in case you need them again.

Against my better judgement I glance at the paper. Headlines say a brothel was busted. Immediately I see the sentence. The sentence that makes me howl and throw the paper to the ground. The one that enrages me and then reignites the desire to publish a new blog called Sour Grapes and therin report on the way women and women's issues are represented or not in the Bahamian media. In this story the "reporter" enrages me by remarking that the women arrested in this raid were "more concerned with their picture being printed rather than their impending deportation" .
What kind of mysogynistic, totally unprofessional, maybe even slanderous rubbish is this from a newspaper report?
Firstly, you're damn right the women were concerned that their photographs not be taken. Surely it is illegal to publish photographs of detainees at a police station at the time of their arrest. I don't recall any such photographs appearing in the papers of male detainees at the station. The first photographs we see of them are at court. Obviously this reporter threatened them with cameras, and how did he happen to be at the station at the time the women were brought in? Someone called him, I suspect, some male , uniformed conspirator wanting to add to the trauma and humiliation for the arrested women. I smell the stink of patriarchal collusion.
Secondly, what kind of judgemental tone is this for the reporter to be taking? His job is to convey free and clear information, not muddy up the report with his hyper moralistic opinion. We don't give a rat's tail about what he thinks about the attitude of the women, whether he thinks they were behaving appropriately or not. This is shameful abuse of his position as a journalist. And how can he speak of "impending deportation?" The women have not even been charged yet. The paper would not dare condemn a moneyed man in this way, but a poor women is everyone's scapegoat. This "reporter" in my opinion is guilty of infringing upon the human rights of these women.
Thirdly, instead of his nasty, lascivious reporting of one woman's tattooed buttocks this excuse for a journalist should have been getting the woman to drop the names she was threatening to drop regarding the men who frequented the brothel. (It sounds to me that she was implying that senior police officers were among the clientel.) Indeed, why were their no men arrested? You can't have a brothel without men. Who and where are the guilty men? Why didn't the "reporter" ask this question? He was obviously too busy enjoying the spectacle. Nothing the patriarchs like more than women in shackles.

LOS ANGELES — The owners of gay porn site MormonBoyz.com are blaming none other than the Church of Latter Day Saints for "denial of service" attacks on its server late on Sunday night.
An investigation revealed that the IP address of the servers implementing the attack could be traced to the ZIP code 84150, or downtown Salt Lake City where the LDS Church Offices Building, Temple Square and the LDS Conference Center are located, site owner Paul Jackson said.
"That the Mormon Church or someone associated with it would take such drastic and dramatic action to repress our treasured American freedom of speech is more than just upsetting," Jackson said in a written statement that he posted on his Facebook.
The "about" page on MormonBoyz.com says it is "the place to showcase beautiful young Mormon boys."
It continues: "These guys are every bit as sexual as other boys their age, but are also wonderfully innocent and wholesome. And actually, you might even say that because of their deprivation, these boys are pent up and starved for release and that makes them even more sexual."
Parodying an authentically religious site, MormonBoyz is rife with Biblical imagery and young men wearing traditional Mormon undergarments.
Jackson grew up in Sandy, Utah and went to LDS Church-owned Brigham Young University. He now lives in Los Angeles, QSaltLake reported.
The LDS Church has not issued a statement regarding the allegations at this point in time.

If your family member died as a result of a street-drug overdose or an overdose of a prescription drug that he was not prescribed, got from a friend or bought on the street, your legal options should probably be directed toward the person who supplied the drug to your loved one. If you know the identity of this person, you can call the police and attempt to hold the person accountable through the criminal justice system. If the medication was a prescription drug that was diverted to street use or sale because a physician runs a "pill mill" or does not carefully screen patients before prescribing narcotics, there have been occasions where we have undertaken representation of a family where we could prove (1) that the drug came from the physician known to run a "pill mill" and (2) that the physician knew or should have known that medications he was prescribing were being diverted to street use.
Toxicity, literally means poisoning. When a person ingests too much of a drug or other substance, it can become toxic to them, and cause death. If the cause of death listed is drug toxicity, the medical examiner determined that the amounts of drugs found in the body post-mortem were sufficient to cause death and the likely cause of death.
There can be several reasons a person dies suddenly, but most often, a cardiac problem, or a blood clot is suspected. A person can die suddenly if he had an arrythmia that caused his heart to beat so inefficiently that the organs were deprived of oxygen. A person can die suddenly when a blood clot breaks loose in the body and travels to the brain, the lungs or the heart. A person can die suddenly from a rupture of a vessel, or a bleed inside the body (such as an aneurysm). When a person dies suddenly, and the death was unexpected (the person did not have terminal cancer), laws in most states provide for an autopsy to be performed, which can help determine the cause of death.
It is possible. Only an autopsy and complete toxicology study can tell you for sure. If your family member died after starting a new medication, this is very important information to share with the medical examiner and pathologist who performs the autopsy. If you don't share this information with them, they may not test the blood and tissue for toxic levels of the drug. Toxicology studies performed post-mortem do not attempt to test for every known substance in the person's blood and tissue. This would involve thousands and thousands of substances. Talk to your medical examiner about your concerns.
It could mean several things, but it is often the pattern seen in drug deaths caused by respiratory depression. When a person ingests too much of certain drugs or medications, the drugs can slow down the part of the brain that tells the lungs to breathe. People who die of respiratory depression typically are sleepy and lethargic, and brething heavily for several hours before they are found dead.
Most people would like to think so. But sometimes the answer is "no." Sometimes a person has a reaction to a drug that is not the normal reaction. A person might be extremely sensitive to a drug that is usually safe for others. Another problem occurs when doctors are not well-educated about the drugs they prescribe. Some doctors do not understand the pharmacology of the drugs they prescribe-- they may not understand its half-life for example, which prevents the doctor from prescribing the drug in safe amounts. You should expect your doctor to be educated about the drugs he prescribes. Several doctors in recent years have prescribed drugs like methadone, oxycontin and fentanyl in excessive amounts, causing the deaths of patients.
Yes. Drugs are well-studied in clinical trials before they are put on the market, and for most people, prescription drugs can be safely dosed. Physicians have several resources available to them to assist them in understanding how to safely dose a patient with a prescription drug. We beleive that if a physician chooses to prescribe a medication, he or she has the responsibility to understand the medication, how it acts on the body, how it accumulates in the body, how it is eliminated from the body, and how it might interact with other medications the patient is taking. But sometimes doctors prescribe the wrong drugs, or the wrong doses, and that causes problems.
Patients should take responsibility for their own health. They should promptly seek medical attention when they are sick, and follow the phsyician's instructions about how to take their medications. But no patient should have to leave the doctor's office, only to go home and research to make sure the doctor have her the right medication at the right dose. Patients rely on their doctors to have superior knowledge about medications, drug interactions, the patient's own health history and condition, and safe dosing.
Often, families wonder why a doctor or pharmacy would give a large quantity of medication to patients, some of whom have a history of drug abuse or a history of using too many medications. Sometimes this practice is acceptable, and sometimes it is negligent. A lawyer can review the case with a physician or pharmacist and advise you about your specific situation.
There are records at the prescribing doctor's office that show what medication was ordered. This information should at least match the information on the front of the bottle, and in the pharmacy's records, or on the computer printout of the medications filled. But even if those things match, the pill in the bottle could be a different medication than the one listed on the bottle. A neutral physician or pharmacist should be able to help you identify the pill. There are actually drug books with photos that can help them do that. If the police took the pill bottle when they came to the house after a death, they likely gave it to the medical examiner. Call the medical examiner about your concerns, and she can confirm what was in the bottle.
Make sure there is an autopsy, and make sure the medical examiner or pathologist who performs the autopsy knows what medications your family member was using. Be especially vigilant about providing information about new medications the patient just started taking before he died.
If your family member died as a result of a doctor, hospital, clinic's or pharmacist's error, there are several ways you can help prevent this from happening again.
First, report the death to the proper licensing bodies. This might be the pharmacy, nursing or medical board in your state. It might be the state division that regulates hospitals, nursing homes and rehab facilities in your state. It might be the accreditation bodies for those institutions, such as JCAHO or CARF. If you are confused about who to call to report this death, feel free to email us, and we will be happy to steer you in the right direction for your state.
If the death involved methadone from a methadone clinic, report the death to the state methadone authority and to SAMHSA. The following links will help you find where to report these deaths.
For a list of state methadone authorities: www.nasadad.org/resource.php?doc_id=1586
If your family member died because of the error of a physician, pharmacist or clinic, consider talking to a lawyer. There are options a lawyer can discuss with you to help change the number of deaths in your state, including working with licensing boards, the medical society and the legislative body to make meaningful changes.
Finally, you might consider talking to a lawyer about whether a lawsuit would be effective in changing a dangerous practice and saving lives.
This is a dangerous practice. Sometimes people die because they mix drugs that shouldn't mix. Sometimes people die because doctors prescribe too much of a medication or prescribe the wrong medications together. The only way to find out what happened in a particular situation is to have the records reviewed by a lawyer who can advise you whether a pharmacy, physician or clinic was negligent.
Lawyers spend much more time giving advice to families to helping families deal with legal issues, than they do filing lawsuits. If you just want to ask a couple of questions, or tell your story, that is fine. Let us know, and we will be glad to talk with you or exchange a few emails.
If you ask to talk to a lawyer at overdoselaw.com, it will cost you nothing. We are here to provide information and answers. Click the contact page, and let's get started.
While we can't say definitively that a lawsuit filed in the future in your case will save others' lives, we can say that this is the ultimate goal of our law firm. We are aware of several cases in which physicians have changed prescribing practices and their physical examinations of patients as a result of lawsuits filed by our lawyers. We have worked with pharmacies, Pharmacy Boards, Medical Societies, Methadone Authorities and other state agencies to educate and push for change. At our firm, we believe that historically, lawsuits have led to life-saving changes in American industries and among medical providers. Seat belts, gun safety latches, smoke alarms, sprinkler systems, air bags and myriad other improvements in our society have resulted from lawsuits. GIve us a call. Let's change things.

As I have discussed previously in this blog, pronunciation is probably one of the most difficult things to master when studying English. The more English you can listen to during your day, the better you will become at learning how to properly pronounce sounds. Sometimes, however, it doesn't seem to matter how often you hear the sound, you simply don't know how to form the sound in your mouth and therefore can't accurately reproduce it.
Although children are able to hear a sound and mimic it, adults need to be taught specifically how sounds are supposed to be formed. Unfortunately, this isn't really possible unless you were able to see into a native speaker's mouth from the side as the sound was produced. Even if you don't have x-ray vision, you can see how the sound is made by going to this website.It gives you various sounds that exist in English with a diagram and a description of how to produce the sound. In addition, it gives you several words that exemplify the sound.
Don't let the phonetic terms and symbols intimidate you. The point of the website is to help you improve your pronunciation in a way that a teacher can't do just by speaking to you face-to-face.

Bee Heard
.The Bee reports that the three GOP candidates seek solutions to alleviate traffic in the town. That is an issue that has no solution. The group should move to areas that they can have an impact on and post their position on the Amherst Police contract expiring Dec. 31, 2017. Also, why does Amherst need 33 boards and committees? Most are inactive and don't post their agenda or minutes.
.Regarding what your managing editor wrote about the Constitutional Convention which will be on the ballot in November, after reading the entire column, I totally agree with him. Having just a little bit of background of understanding it, I think with all the corruption in New York State, it's high time no matter what the cost. We are losing too much as taxpayers; it is time for a convention. We have to update it to shorter terms and a little bit more control of the money that always seems to be disappearing.
.To National Fuel, before you raise the price of natural gas, let's get your meter readers out to read meters every month, not every other month. My bill jumped $20 from last month. Where did it go, I don't know, because I didn't use $42 worth of gas in October.
.Let me get this straight. The town's so-called Open Government Advisory Board has so little regard for open government that it is the only town committee or board to fail to post a mission statement on the town website. Furthermore, at its last meeting, it could not carry out business because only three of its members attended. If this board is not needed, it should disband. If it is necessary, more responsible appointees are needed and it should stay out of elections.
.What will it take for the dog walkers on the Ellicott Creek Trailway in Amherst to pick up their dog's poop? Stop leaving your plastic bags of poop on the pavement, the grass, slung into the bushes and, worst of all, on a memorial bench of someone's loved one. Shame on you for your selfish behavior.
.I've read that people are praising Mayor Brian Kulpa's ideas about development and traffic. In my neighborhood, the zoning for the proposed Natale Development should have been single-family housing. Then he wanted to swap parkland and build a park the village couldn't afford, ruining an existing park. This would have spread out the development; this is called urban sprawl. Plus, he wants to propose a brew pub next to a Catholic church and school.
.The open government committee is hosting a Meet the Candidates Night for town board members to mingle with the public and answer questions. It allows the public access to candidates for public office free of charge in a public building without the requirement of political contributions. The public is offered few opportunities to do this. This is an important election for Amherst. I look forward to the Candidates' Night on Oct. 12.
.The letter to the editor supporting Brian Kulpa for supervisor because he understands traffic is ridiculous. His answer to traffic problems is to eliminate the cars. Kulpa has been slowly reducing parking spaces in the village ever since he became mayor and is unconcerned with those of us who can't walk to our jobs here.
.Why are Amherst parks already closing their restroom facilities? Now, on a beautiful weekend we can't get into the restrooms. They are all boarded up. Doesn't anyone look at the weather forecast and see it's still nice weather? Come on, Amherst. Why are the restrooms closed already? There aren't even portable toilets for someone to use. Can someone please investigate this and correct it?

I suppose this should have been the last post of 2015, but unfortunately technology can sometimes suck and I had computer problems which took a while to recover from (and more depressingly caused me to lose the last years worth of Lightroom edits). I am usually really good about making sure everything is backed up, but what I had not noticed is that when I last upgraded Lightroom the catalog was being backed up to the same drive that the live one was living on. This is a definite no-no if you end up losing a drive, like I did, and you need to reinstall everything. All the photos were backed up, but the catalog was lost.
Anyway, enough techno-crap...
I like to make at least one pilgrimage a year to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge to look and photograph the birds there. This year, Sallie and my friend Nicole went with me. We had a good time, the weather was wonderful, maybe a little warm for December (but hey, there was no snow on the ground, unlike some of my northern family members). I like to go to see my "spirit" bird, the Great Blue Heron. Unfortunately, none were in attendance this day. I have been going there for at least the last ten years and have been noticing that there have been fewer and fewer Great Blues. I wonder if there is something going on with their population in the area. It is getting difficult to find Great Blues anywhere. As always there were lots of Tri-color Herons, some Little Blue Herons, Little Green Herons, and lots of Egrets. I noticed this year that there were a lot more Reddish Egrets around, they used to be quite rare to see.
Since it was warm we went to the Manatee overlook on the intracoastal waterway and were treated to a lot of snouts and tails, there were at least six manatees feeding off the river grass there. The water was pretty murky so not a good place to take photos of them. Maybe if gets cold, I will head out to Blue Springs. To end the visit, it was lunch at Dixie Crossroads, yumm...

According to the United Nations, Syria's civil war has now generated the worst refugee crisis since the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Nearly 1.8 million people are now registered as refugees in countries surrounding Syria.
Five thousand people a month are dying in Syria's civil war, creating the worst refugee crisis since the Rwandan genocide, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, said on Tuesday before the Security Council in New York.
"We have not seen a refugee outflow escalate at such a frightening rate since the Rwandan genocide almost 20 years ago," Guterres said.
In 1994, more than two million Rwandans fled genocide where radical Hutus killed about 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus within three months.
Nearly 1.8 million people are now registered with the United Nations in countries surrounding Syria, with an average of 6,000 people fleeing each day. As a result of the conflict, the UN estimates about 100,000 people have been killed.
Together with the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Valerie Amos, Guterres called on the Security Council for more international aid and stronger action to deal with the fallout from the two-year-old civil war.
Amos said the international community may have to consider cross border operations to get more aid into Syria where she said four million people are still in need of assistance. She said $3.1 billion was still needed for operations in and around Syria for the rest of the year, but "considerable restraints" have been imposed on aid agencies by the government and rebel groups.
The Syrian government is opposed to any cross-border aid as is Russia, a veto-wielding Security Council member and key backer of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Calls from Syria's neighbors
Turkey's deputy UN ambassador Leven Eler supported the call for cross-border operations. "The council needs to consider alternative forms of aid delivery," he said adding that the crisis in Syria was turning into "the biggest humanitarian tragedy of the 21st century."
Lebanon's UN ambassador Nawaf Salam also urged the Security Council to do more about the refugee crisis.
"Increasing cross border fire and incursions from Syria in Lebanon are threatening the security and stability of my country," he said.
Lebanon has a population of about four million and Salam said the influx of refugees to his country was the equivalent of 75 million refugees flooding the United States. He estimated the number would grow 20-fold during 2013.
Syria's UN ambassador Bashar Jaafari disputed the UN death toll as "unprofessionally sourced."
However, UN Assistant Secretary General for Human Rights Ivan Simonovic said that "rigorous" methods had been used to check the death toll. He said each death was cross checked with at least three sources.

I Can Help You Get Your Book Known With Continual Promotion, and a Compelling Review That Will Capture The Theme Of Your Book
Your book is important to us. This is why we've just reconstructed this site to give your book more exposure to the right audience.
We've created Bible studies and other important Christian information that will bring the targeted audience Christian authors need for their books to get attention.
All you have to do, is to send me your book, website address and bio and I'll do the rest. With my 10 years of Internet marketing experience I will promote you, your book, your book information and book review in various categories of interest to attract the best suited audience for your book genre.
I'll also write a blog post to announce your book and to announce your book review once it's published. This will also bring your book more Internet attention because I will use different keywords in order to target a wider group of people looking for books like yours. If this sounds like what you're looking for, then please keep reading!
Dear Author, I'm a Christian author too, so I understand the hard work and time that goes into writing Christian books as well as the prayer needed to remain focused upon what God desires to say through us for others. My Christian Book Promotion Program is dedicated to spreading quality Christian information throughout the world by means of the Internet. If you have a Christian book or Kindle book that can be helpful to the Christian community, you may be interested in allowing me to promote and review your book. I'm going to give you the attention I give to my Christian Bible studies that have been helping Christians for many years. And, I will purchase your book to give you a "verified purchase" on Amazon.com because I'm an Amazon.com reviewer.
-Margaret Lukasik
One of the best advantages of my program is that I have a content website that offers more than book reviews and promotions. I offer free Bible studies and other information that targets the type of Christian information and books that I review and promote. So my site automatically draws the right audience for your book if it has a Christian theme. I will use all that my site has to offer to your advantage. And I'm constantly updating this site so that it remains active and not forgotten.
I'm also going to promote your book to the social networks. I post on three different Facebook pages that are Christian oriented, one of which is for books. I use Twitter, Pinterest I make (beautiful Pinterest Images) Linkedin, Digg and Google +. As stated, I will also purchase your book and give you an Amazon.com book review as a part of my Christian Book Promotion process.
I Can Help You Get Your Book Known With Continual Promotion, and a Compelling Review That Will Capture The Theme Of Your Book
Through my Christian Book Promotion program I give more than just a simple review of a paragraph or two or use a summary submitted by the author. I write compelling copy that centers upon the crux of what the author is striving to convey in their book.
I do this by creating a page with specific keywords throughout the review that is "Search Engine Friendly." This is so important that I spend time researching the best keywords to use, even when using the title of the book. This means that I will create your review in a specific way to target the right audience for your book genre to get known by possible buyers.
My Christian Book Review method helps authors find the right audience for their novels, information, biographies and so forth. So in the long run your book will get more attention on my site that continues to increase!
Books can be in any genre, but they must either have a Christian theme or flow within the Christian ethic. So your book does not have to reflect a Christian theme, but it should express Christian values. I will not accept books that include explicit sex, pornography, or profanity -- especially expressions taking the Lord's name in vain.
References to sex must be kept subtle in ways that are not offensive to my Christian readers.
If your book is not specifically Christian, but it offers information that can be helpful to our readers such as books of health, encouragement, exercise, spiritual growth which flows with the Christian message, biographies, drama, family, etc. I will be happy to give your book a review.*
Why do I charge a *fee? For two main reasons. The first is because I put much work and time into getting your book known on the Internet. And I never stop working to promote your book!
The other reason is because I don't want your book review to be one of hundreds. Also, I can't offer the quality work I desire to give each book and author if I review books full-time. So I'm looking for quality rather than quantity! Not all authors are willing to believe in their work enough to make specific investments that will get their books known. So this keeps the number of reviews I give to a minimum.
This also gives my site a reputation for sharing great books where the author has put their heart into their writing. If this sounds like you, then I believe your book will be a good fit for my website.
Surprisingly small for all that I will do for you. My one-time fee for the Christian Book Reviews, Promotion and Advertising Package is only $89.97. And in addition, included in the package is a new formatting page style to make it more Search Engine Friendly (SEO) and to better grab the attention of busy page surfers.
Click here and here to see what your beautiful Christian book promotion page will look like. I have just switched to this style of promotion pages because this is how I've been getting attention for my Bible Studies and I find that it works better than regular pages.
For the fee, you will receive the following:
Once you send the one-time fee of $89.97 through PayPal (you do not need an account with PayPal to pay) you will receive a form to fill in your information so that I can begin your page. Books will be purchased in Kindle ebook only.*
Then Click On The "Return To Merchant Button"
To Get Your Form. If You Don't, Contact Me To Obtain It.
* I reserve the right to return any book and the complete promotion fee if I don't feel that I can give a good or honest review because the book doesn't fit within my criteria. The complete fee will be returned immediately.
This is the bottom slider area. You can edit this text and also insert any element here. This is a good place if you want to put an opt-in form or a scarcity countdown.

The Welland & District SPCA and the Ontario SPCA partner with the Wikwemikong Unceded Reserve to help animals
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Wikwemikong, ON (September 23, 2016) – The Welland & District SPCA and the Ontario SPCA have partnered with the Wikwemikong Unceded Reserve – the Wiky Rez – on the eastern end of Manitoulin Island to provide mobile spay/neuter and animal wellness services.
The week-long event is wrapping up over the next few days. To date, 95 spay/neuter surgeries have been completed and another 24 spay/neuter surgeries scheduled today. The Ontario SPCA and Welland & District SPCA have also provided wellness exams to 186 animals. An additional 50 animals are scheduled to be seen today.
This year, 30 students from the Veterinary Technician Program at Collège Boréal in Sudbury joined the teams. The Ontario SPCA and Welland & District SPCA commend the students and Collège Boréal for their commitment to animal welfare.
"The Welland & District SPCA is pleased to be working with the Ontario SPCA to provide these essentials services to animals on Manitoulin Island. And we are fortunate to partner with Wikwemikong – the community has been overwhelmingly supportive. It's a win/win situation, especially for animals," says John Greer, Executive Director, Welland & District SPCA.
"The Ontario SPCA is honoured to be involved and to have the leadership of our Affiliate, the Welland & District SPCA," says Judi Cannon, Associate Director, Indigenous Programs & Community Outreach, Ontario SPCA. "We invite the public to support this project and others by donating to the Welland & District SPCA at wellandspca.com."

Very much an experimental image, this portrait was made at the Edinburgh Festival, the subject being one of the many street performers to be found there.
The point of the image was nothing more than to extract the subject from the background, which was far too messy, and to isolate him against a cleaner background. This was the result of that.

Ripped Abs Success Stories & Testimonials
You are about to read genuine, real-life success stories and endorsements from real people who have tried and experienced the How to Get Ripped Abs Program.
This is nowhere near a complete collection of all the testimonials that I receive each day, but rather a small sample of the results that can easily be achieved by following this program.
I would like to take a second to thank all of you for being thoughtful enough to write to me about the success that you've had while using my How to Get Ripped Abs Program and for allowing me to share the good news of your amazing results with the rest of the world.
I truly hope that you will be my next success story! At the bottom of this page, there is a section for you to submit your testimonial. If you would be willing to share your success story with us after completing the program, we would be honored to hear from you!
"I followed so many other plans in the past with little or no results. I was so frustrated that I was on the verge of giving up completely. That's when I heard about John Alvino's How To Get Ripped Abs. I have to say that I am totally shocked. This program really works! After 8 weeks, I've lost 17 pounds of fat. And what's more, I've gained 4 pounds of muscle, my strength has increased dramatically and I have six-pack abs for the first time in my life!
"I reached out for John's expert advice on how to lose weight and get into shape. I have been going to the gym for years without any results. I thought I was eating and exercising right, but I was just wasting my time. John gave me his abdominal and fat loss program. I started his program and I seen results right away; in the first 3 months I lost over 11.50 total body inches and 40 pounds, the weight just melted away from me.
"For the past 26 years, I have been consistently getting to the gym 4 days a week and eating a healthy diet. In all those years, I never had abs. Even worse, in recent years my waistline ballooned to a sloppy 37½ inches. I thought gaining this unwelcomed body fat was a part of getting older, but John convinced me otherwise.
"I have been dieting and exercising most of my life. I have worked with more trainers can you can imagine. I never was able to make dramatic changes in my body until I started working with John. His unique program allowed me to get in the best shape of my entire life! I look better at 46 than I did when I was 18…and you should see my abs! Thanks, John!"
"When I began John's Program, my body fat percentage was 17%. After 8 short weeks, my body fat had dropped down to an amazing 6%. Being a fitness trainer myself, I have to say that I am blown away by John's unique strategies and secrets. Thanks John, for delivering such incredible results!"
"After having two children, my stomach never returned back into my pre-pregnancy shape. I purchased workout DVD's, infomercial diets, and aerobic class memberships desperately trying to lose belly fat. Needless to say, I never achieved any results. Then I met John. John's stomach fat loss system worked so well, I couldn't believe it! I actually saw results after the very first week. It's been 12 weeks and I still continue to see results every week.
"The very first person who ever got the benefits of How To Get Ripped Abs was its author. As you can see, I'm not exactly what you might call "genetically blessed". Being lean never came easy to me, and nothing out there seemed to work. My father always told me, "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!" So that's exactly what I did. I worked tirelessly to create a system that gave me the body I wanted to have.
I was tired of feeling bad about the way my body looked. I just wanted to be in the best shape of my life. I knew John had the knowledge and expertise to make it happen. But I had no idea what was in store for me! Not only did John get me in unbelievable shape, but he actually convinced me (I didn't want to, but he can be quite convincing!) to enter a fitness competition. I'm a pretty shy person, so the idea of prancing around in a bikini is not my idea of a good time. But guess what?
"As a former athlete, I have trained for the last 10 years. I have worked with various strength and conditioning coaches, spent countless hours in the gym, and read everything I could get my hands on.
But nothing I've experienced, could have prepared me for the results I was going to achieve with John's program. 36 pounds of fat and 6 inches of my waist flew off my body faster than I could have imagined!"
"I was just a few weeks shy of finishing a body transformation contest when I heard about John Alvino. His promises seemed too good to be true, but my gut instinct told me to trust him…and I'm glad I listened.
Thanks to John's expert advice on fat burning and nutrition, I was able to shed inches of fat and cellulite in a few short weeks, and actually WIN the contest!
"Ever since I started John's program, I've been getting compliments from all my customers about how quickly my body is changing. In 10 weeks, I've dropped 27.5 lbs in scale weight, which means I've lost a lot more fat than that, since I've gained muscle, too. In fact, I lost fat quicker than I could buy new clothes. I even had to poke a new hole in my belt every week with my wine key!
I now have a V-Shape and ripped abs for the first time in my entire life! At 38 years old I literally have 23 year olds coming on to me.
I have never looked like this before. Coach Alvino has finally pulled back the curtain and taught me the secret formula for life: Fun Sustainable Exercise + Nutritional Lifestyle = LOOKING BETTER NAKED!!! Thanks, John."
After Years of Struggling, Ex-Gymnast Finally
Sheds That Stubborn Layer of Stomach Fat!
"I am an ex-gymnast and fitness has always been a huge part of my life. But no matter what I did, I couldn't lose that ugly layer of stomach fat. It was a constant source of embarrassment for me. But after 12 weeks of John's program, the fat has completely vanished. I now routinely wear a half shirt to the gym (and getting a few stares here and there…which is always nice), my confidence has never been better, and I feel great!"
Holly DiCocco
37-Year Old Chef Loses Almost
70 lbs in Less Than 4 Months!
"I started John's program weighing in at 308 pounds. After 15 weeks I now weight 240 pounds. I can't believe how fast the fat has melted off my body. I'm still a work in progress, but I've never felt better, and am completely confident that I will achieve my goal in no time. John, you are the man!"
Gabe Catalano
"John's nutritional program is amazing. Not only is the body fat virtually leaping off my trouble spots, but I'm never hungry! And the meals I eat are delicious. It feels so good to be eating food that tastes good and is also good for me. I never thought I'd say this, but John actually makes losing fat fun!"
Dena Conforti
"John's system actually makes you money! I used to spend literally hundreds of dollars each month on all kinds of crazy pills…now I take just one inexpensive supplement and that's it! What's more, I've gone from 24% body fat to 12% body fat in 13 weeks. I look and feel great! I can't believe that I'm finally getting serious results, after all these years of blood, sweat and tears. John Alvino, you are a freaking genius!"
Mark Kuzma
"I've gone from a size 9 to a size 4 in 3 months. I've never felt sexier. My boyfriend can't keep his hands off me! Thank you, John, for changing my life!"
Mia Franco
"In the 11 years that I have known him, John Alvino has consistently been my number one go-to-guy for fat loss info. When I have any questions at all, I call him immediately and he never fails to impress me with his knowledge. I honestly believe that John is one of the top fat loss experts in the world and could get absolutely anyone ripped and shredded in record time."
Jason Ferruggia
Performance Enhancement Specialist & Author
Chief Training Adviser, Men's Fitness Magazine
"I've known John Alvino for over ten years, and in that time, I have been consistently amazed with his unique and effective training and nutritional concepts. But I've got to say that John has even outdone himself with How To Get Ripped Abs. He has taken the best research and combined it with his own experience to create the most potent fat burning system I've ever tried. John cuts through all the B.S. and delivers the most an incredibly effective fat loss system. This is not just another fat loss book; this is a totally unique system out there that will transform your entire body in record time."
Alwyn Cosgrove
Professional Fitness Coach & Author
"John Alvino's How To Get Ripped Abs is easily one of the best fat loss training and nutrition books I've ever read. When it comes to body transformation, John has done it all. You name a fat loss technique, and John knows it inside and out. And not only has John opened my eyes to several new and invaluable training and nutritional tricks, but he's motivated me to become an even better body transformation coach myself. If you need a coach to help you lose fat and get a lean body faster than you thought humanly possible, you could not put yourself in a better place than in the hands of John Alvino."

E-Store Review: Oh Baby Jamaica.com
Just recently, a random search led me here. Now I've always been bemoaning the fact that unlike persons in the states, many Jamaican stores did not offer a convenient online order system. Hence I was more than pleasantly surprised to stumble on Ohbabyjamaica.com.
The store features a range of Baby products under the headers: Baby Gear, Baby Safety and Health, Bathing and grooming, Bedding and Decor, Clothing, Diapering and Potty, Feeding, Gift sets, Toys, Travel solutions and used items. While the site offers the convenience of doing home deliveries, there are limited items listed. However, they did promise to try sourcing items that may not be listed on the site. So while there is definately room for improvement as it relates to stock, this lil online store is indeed a great idea. So now i can hop off and order a new set of girly blankets for Kailee and give this venture 3stars out of a possible five for their lack of locally made products (The economy needs the help guys)

EDF launches a new web site!
This explains my posting silence over the past several weeks. Here's a look at the old, left, and the new (click through for larger views):
Improvements you might notice:
- Bolder look, with more engaging colors and larger photos
- Clearer navigation, refined through a few rounds of user testing
- More about the people who work here and what they do (check out the much-expanded Our people page)
But there's a lot under that colorful surface, too.
We were working from newly clarified goals. For the first time, we were able to clearly prioritize among our many audiences. You'll see material for a general audience and EDF's supporters front and center now, with the more technical material still accessible, but not as prominent.
We have a new content strategy, guiding what content we create and how we measure its performance. In a past post, I looked at why we made content such a key part of the redesign. We dropped about 80% of the content on the old site, and created a bunch of new material, with the help of the in-house writing and design team.
And finally, we switched to Drupal, leaving behind a proprietary ColdFusion-based content management system. We are happy to finally be in the modern age of publishing platforms.
There's a lot of work ahead, to be sure — we now have to live up to our ambitious content strategy, transfer our other web properties to Drupal, and start testing and optimizing the site's performance.
But this afternoon, we're enjoying the new site and congratulating the whole team on a smooth, perfectly on-schedule conclusion to months of planning and work. Thanks everyone!!

VIDEO: Zorro: Generation Z
Zorro de Mayo comes to a close (two months later) as Sofie Liv joins Renegado to review a cartoon show about a future (all the way in the year 2015!) descendant of Zorro who fights for justice while riding a motorcycle instead of a horse. And did we mention his high-tech gadgets, which include a Z-Pod and a Z-Phone? No, really.

The Ratcliffe Community
The Ratcliffe Community is a vibrant group of associated organisations, all of which provide tremendous support to the School.
The Rosmini House of Prayer, set amid the beautiful rural grounds at the far end of the School Campus, provides spiritual support not only to the School through the presence of our four Rosminian Priests, but also to the local and national communities.
The Parents' Association enjoys an excellent relationship with the School. It exists to support the many activities within the School, from the Nursery to the Sixth Form, as well as providing opportunities for parents to relax and enjoy themselves together at a range of social occasions. The PA is particularly vibrant, and warmly welcomes all parents to participate at all levels. The Chairman of the Parents' Association, would be delighted to hear from any parents who wish to enjoy the events organised or who may feel able to assist in such events.
The Ratcliffe Association provides a forum for all Old Boys and Old Girls, former students of Ratcliffe College. The RA Committee meets once every term, to plan events and to maintain effective links with the School. Former students enjoy wonderful times reminiscing over the 'old days' at regional reunions, including dinners organised around the world to enable all former students to remain in touch both with each other and with current developments at the School. The Ratcliffe Association Secretary, Mrs Alex Slack, is always delighted to hear from Old Boys and Girls.

Town Moderator
The best way to stay informed about Town Meeting is to "like" the WESTPORT TOWN MEETING FACEBOOK PAGE
Every year on the second Tuesday in May, Westport convenes an Annual Town Meeting at which all willing registered voters of the town meet in the Westport High School auditorium to function as the town's legislature. There are sometimes additional Special Town Meetings called by the Selectmen at other tiems of the year. Town Meeting decides upon a list of matters contained in a "warrant" prepared by the Board of Selectmen. While the list is prepared by the Selectmen, any citizen can have add an item to the warrant with a 10 signature petition.
Town Meeting acts on every item in the warrant and does not act on anything that is not in the warrant. The individual items on the warrant are known as warrant articles. They do a limited number of things:
1. Appropriate money- appropriation is not the same as spending. It is an authorization to spend.
2. Adopt, repeal or modify by-laws
3. Set salaries of elected officials
4. Adopt state statutes
5. Approve acceptance and disposal of some town property
and a small handful of other things.
The meeting is chaired by an elected Moderator who conducts the meeting, decides questions of order and declares the outcome of votes. Westport's Moderator is Steven Fors. He is always available to answer your questions about Town Meeting and to help you participate fully and effectively. He can be reached:
By email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Or by telephone at 508 496-8978

Today a combined impression of the House by More Than Classic and Eigen Huis & Interieur fair 2013 on the living. MTC and EH & I shared a smaller House than the other sheets, but was by no means less fun to visit. With a variety of styles from classic to modern. I have to admit that these houses were not quite my style, but there were certainly things with a high ' have ' content at.
More than Classic
Eigen Huis & Interieur
Very nice in the More than Classic House I found the stolpen on top of the Cabinet, the particular rattan chair and the lights above the pink (!) dining table. Also the glass paintings were beautiful to look at, the colors appeared much more intense and really jumps out. Eigen Huis & Interieur left a colorful wall see, lots of cacti and also the locker I found nice to see. I saw many boxes anywhere on the exhibition cabinets and cacti. Today is the last day when you can visit the home fair.

text: The goal of the renewal is to continue and expand the data and biospecimen collection of patients with genetically triggered TAAs. The overriding purpose of the GenTAC Registry is to establish a robust data bank and biospecimen repository, and facilitate fundamental and clinical research through use of these resources. The ultimate goal is to reduce cardiovascular complications, which represent the primary cause of morbidity and premature death in persons with genetically triggered thoracic aortic aneurysms. The Registry is a critical resource that can be used by the research community to further understand and study the genetic basis of TAAs and to improve the diagnosis and clinical management of affected patients.

Beef Chuck
AKA: Pot roast, Stew meat (chopped into cubes), 7 bone, cross rib (chuck with a line of fat inside)
Where to purchase: Costco is an ok source, Safeway and Lucky have sales occasionally
Price: $2/lb or less is a good price
Market trends: Chuck is ideally suited for slow cooking (usually in moist heat), which tends to be in stews and soups. Demand increases in winter months, which corresponds to higher prices. Generally the prices are low from May to July.
Economic tip: You can substitute stew meat (about $3.50-$4) with chuck when it's on sale.It's the same meat but stew meat is pre-cut into cubes.
Characteristics: Beef chuck comes from the shoulder of a cow, where daily use from walking causes a build up of tough connective tissue. Often found in ground beef
How to cook: Chuck will be tender when cooked in moist heat for about 1 hour- 1.5 hr. After 1.5hrs, it becomes too tender and will fall apart into shreds when you touch it, leaving individual strands.
What to watch out for: Chuck has alot of collagen and so it will be tough, be sure to cook it for at least 1 hr.
Benefits: The same collagen that makes chuck tough also turns into gelatin between the fibers. This gelatin keeps the meat moist from the inside. Overcooked meat turns chalk-ie because all the water leaves the destroyed (cooked) muscle cells, gelatin forms a viscous network that interferes with the water and prevents it from leaving. In essence, the gelatin traps in the moisture. Once you convert the collagen to gelatin in slow cooking, it is tender and juicy.
Suggested dishes
- French dip/beef sandwiches
- Pot roast (moist heat)
- Shredded beef (Mexican/barbecued beef)
- Stew/Pot Pies/Turnover
- Philly cheese steak
- Roast beef
- Stroganoff

Charity bid for hi-tech link
A CHARITY which helps Cystic Fibrosis sufferers is being launched in Exmouth.
East Devon Cystic Fibrosis Quality of Life Fund steps in to help sufferers where the NHS and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, the main charity concerned with the disease, is unable to help.
At the Charity's official launch at the Devoncourt Hotel on July 14, a scheme will be unveiled to link fellow sufferers through technology, because infection risks mean they cannot meet in person.
Charity founder Denise Murphy, whose daughter Katie, nine, has Cystic Fibrosis, is writing to Sarah Brown, wife of new Prime Minister Gordon Brown, asking her to attend the launch event. The Brown's son Fraser is also a Cystic Fibrosis sufferer.
She said: "People with the disease are at risk of cross infection from each other. Consequently, children and adults have to deal with their condition in total isolation. Katie finds this difficult. She just wants to be friends with someone who has to put up with the same regime as her.
"We want to give children and young people the chance to speak to each other via technology. We would like to provide CF people with laptops, Skype equipment or similar and a safe website n which to contact and see each other via webcams."

Exciting News! We just opened our Amazon Affiliate Shopping Cart!
Amazon is a well recognized name in the RV world and we hope you'll click thru our cart to shop on Amazon. It will be just like shopping at Amazon directly - exact same prices and info. Just look thru our cart, select whatever you like and it will go DIRECTLY to Amazon. Purchasing, Shipping, Returns, etc. are ALL done thru Amazon!! Great Program
We just get a small "affiliate fee" for displaying on our website. This commission will help us financially live on the road independently!!
Ah, RV Boondocking (or Dry Camping)!!
Typical Quartzsite, Arizona Sunset!
Can just barely see our "neighbor" - about 100 yards to our West!
RV Boondocking isn't for everyone, by any means! However, it sure can
be a great way to see extraordinary sites that you'd see only in a
brochure! This is a great way to enjoy frugal living as well as cheap living - all in the same day!! It typically will not be in a RV Park.
Boondocking is like growing up and being on your own. It doesn't
have to be in a remote part of the world - but, it will be without any
utility hookups, for sure.
Speaking about "growing up", how many of us had or wish we had one of those old VW Camper's?
Well, here's your chance!
It was featured in a Jan Issue of RVTravel.com email Newsletter!
It is available from Amazon. It sure would make a great gift hint to the grand kids - course, you may have to specify that you want to build it yourself.
However, be prepared - it has 1,332 pieces!! Perhaps it would be better to let the grand kids build it, after all!?!!?
Pretty cool interior of the Lego VW Camper, huh!?!
In case that wasn't enough to get your curiosity going - here's an awesome "time-lapse" build of one!!!!!
Admittedly, many RV'ers just don't feel comfortable boondocking. they only feel happy being in a park with others and hookup up to "earth" (utilities).
Some actually have to be hooked up to electric. For an example, they must run AC for a person that needs it or have a health issue that requires constant electricity. Others will be concerned for their safety and refuse to consider "boondocking".
Good basic rule to follow, if you do go off and find a remote spot or campsite - look for signs of partying or lots of broken bottles. Odds are, you DON'T want that site!
RV Living as a "Boondocker" doesn't mean you are 100 miles off into the desert or so removed from anyone that you'd never see another human.
It simply means you are without utilities supplied by a campground.
If you've never over-nighted without utilities, try a night in a WalMart Parking Lot. Or try a campground but DO NOT hookup anything - that's a pretty safe option to try before venturing off the highways!
RV Solar and going Green will sure help make RV Boondocking easier. When you are spending time away from a campground in your RV, RV Solar energy, extra water or good water/waste management is critical.
The whole idea behind RV boondocking is to be "away from it all" and seeing things and places that just plain old recharge your personal batteries!
So many of us never take the time to go outside the box - we are always within our little safety zone.
That's OK - but, it can sure be awesome to see that beautiful sunrise or sunset over a lake or mountaintop with no buildings to hamper your view!
We never would've gotten that incredible sunset picture above, unless we were boondocking in Quartzsite!
A great idea is Harvest Hosts. It started in Europe years ago.
Seems Vineyards and Farmers enjoy some overnight RV'ers on their property - for Free!! Here, in the US, a couple started the same idea and have grown the concept to include Farms and Vineyards all over North America!
Just imagine staying at a nice Vineyard for the night, touring their store and products (perhaps a sample - or two?) and paying only a $49 Annual Fee for that privilege!
Yes, just a $49 a year Fee to Harvest Hosts and you stay on a member Vineyard or Farm for Free!!
Best of all, there are plenty to chose from all over North America!!
Day's End Directory is a great source for RV Boondocking locations throughout the US.
Escapee Club Members contribute boondocking sites they find during their travels to this website - and have been for over 20 years! How great is that!
As a result, the info is excellent and updated by Escapee members, as they travel.
Read all about the Escapees Association on our RV Associations Page . There is a nominal $10 Fee for joining the Day's End Website - for a great source of info. It is available to active Escapee Members only.
However, since Escapees is such a great organization and Association, why wouldn't you be, anyway ?!
Do you have a great story or picture about an Awesome RV Boondocking Site? Share it! Tell us why it is so awesome!
