Long before her daughters reached high school, Episcopal volleyball coach Beverly Russell set out on a mission.
Russell sought information about mothers coaching their daughters. The closest she got was an article about Jack Richards, who coached three daughters at a California high school.
"It wasn't exactly what I was looking for," Russell said. "This is something there's no instructions for.
"It (article) says up front that coaching your child is a wonderful opportunity. The key is how you handle it."
This fall, Russell has two daughters who are setters for the Knights. Bailey Russell is a senior, while younger sister Charlotte is a freshman.
The Russells are not alone. St. Joseph's Academy coach Sivi Miller's daughter Morgan is a junior setter/hitter. At Belaire High, junior Terriel Reado plays a variety of positions for her mother, Bengals coach Ella Reado.
"She (Terriel) started out at another school (Family Christian)," Reado said. "It was her decision whether or not to come play for me.
"I never said a whole lot, but when she told me she wanted to play for me ? well let's just say I had a private celebration. This is her second year with me. I'm not easy to play for, but I think we've both enjoyed it."
The notion of a son playing for a father is more common. A mother's desire to coach her daughter runs just as deep.
All three coaches played a role in their children's volleyball development along the way. The four daughters were fixtures on or near the sidelines long before they reached high school age.
"Morgan has been with me wherever I've coached since she was little," Miller said. "She grew up watching and knowing what I expect. So has my other daughter (Melanie), who is in middle school.
"I think you do tend to be a little harder on your child because they know you so well you want them to get the point you're making right now and that doesn't always happen."
Miller said she works to compartmentalize things on and off the court.
"When I'm coaching, every girl out there is mine, not just my daughter," Miller said. "I've had people come up and ask me which one my daughter is because they don't know.
"Morgan is team-oriented and handles things herself. After a game, when I talk to her, that's Mom. I ask more about how she is feeling and not always so much about how we played."
The boundaries and ground rules are somewhat different for Reado and Russell.
As Belaire climbed toward the playoffs last year, Reado said she challenged her daughter regularly, which led to one interesting exchange.
"I called Terriel over and told her she needed to stop getting so emotional," Reado recalls. "She looked at me and said, ?Well, that's what you do.' I had to admit she was right."
Each year, Russell prepares a series of slides for a her preseason meeting with parents. The fact that she has a daughter, or in this case, daughters, on the team is on a slide. She also has either EHS Athletic Director Myra Mansur and assistant coach Renee Price work with her daughters individually.
"You have to address it up front," Russell said. "That way, it's not something that's just hanging out there for people to go with."
The older daughters have played club volleyball together at one time or another.
The Millers moved to the Baton Rouge area following Hurricane Katrina, an event that transformed one dream.
"I always watched my mom coach and I knew I wanted to play for her," Morgan Miller said. "Of course, I thought I'd be doing it at Cabrini (New Orleans).
"We wound up here and it's been everything I thought it would be. My mom is harder on me sometimes, but I know that's because she wants me to be a better player and person. I get that."
Terriel Reado said she loves to talk volleyball with her mother.
"We'll go out to eat after we play and we'll talk about things I need to improve on," she said. "We'll come up with things to work on or to try the next time we play."
Like the others, Bailey Russell believes her mother is harder on her at times than other players. The two have also clashed, including one instance last season in a huddle when she questioned her mother, incurring the wrath of a senior player.
"I know my mom wants us to do our best," Bailey Russell said. "And she can be tough, harder on me than my sister and the other players.
"I think there's some pressure for us to do well because she is the coach. There are good and bad things about it."
All three coaches believe the bad never outweighs the good.
"I'm having the time of my life coaching my daughter," said Reado, who played at Grambling in the 1980s.
Russell, the first full scholarship player at LSU in the mid-1970s, added, "I live for these three months we get to spend together and with the team. My daughters are not only playing, they're playing where I went to school. That doesn't happen every day."
Miller, who played at Tulane in the 1980s, said she is too caught up in the season to fully appreciate the situation now. But she is prepared to relish the memories in the future.
All four daughters have aspirations to play on the college level. Bailey Russell is looking at small colleges. Morgan Miller (volleyball, softball) and Terriel Reado (volleyball, basketball) may have more than one sports option.
The mother-daughter experience has given Russell a goal of her own.
"Four years from now, I'd like to write a book about it," Russell said. "I'll have some other coaches to talk to."

Today is our 'fun time' of the 'tour' in 'Seattle'. Just kidding, most of those statements didn't need to be questioned… I'll let you decide which one actually does. While everyone was being fun college students and partying or having a good time I was very much asleep! My mumsy trained me since birth that 9 PM is my bed time and I still basically stick to that principal. Last night it was stretched all the way up to 10:30 but I will have none of that "I didn't get to sleep until after 3 AM" business! Nuh uh – I have cells to regenerate!
This morning's breakfast at the hotel is one of the nicest continental breakfasts I've seen. Real food? Wow! I'm sure my Seattle food adventures this morning will be more fun but I'm not sure I'll have wifi so I have to do this now. Why don't I have one of those fancy internet cards? I should look into that. In any case, enjoy the photo of my food and perhaps you'll get something more interesting if you check in again tomorrow. Oh, and I'm sure you're wondering who that guy is back at the top of the page: that's Sam, my incredibly unenthused spring fairy! He didn't want to play holiday mascot, but does he really have a choice? No! Happy holidays everybody and have a fairy fun day!

Methinks biking through winter's fury is an exercise in preparedness, if not stubbornness. It is a wise effort—to doggedly prepare not simply one's self, but one's equipment, for the wrath of winter.
—Ah, but the sun does shine, however briefly, in wintertime. Wise is he with a sturdy mount in his stable—a workhorse to haul provisions to fill the larder. —Verily, a diet of all work and no play is nary in balance. A sojourn to the Castle of Ray is in order. To ride the oaken planks is a proven tonic for the winter doldrums. And a spry steed is necessary for such a lively undertaking.
Furthermore, the notion occurred to me that sharing my ordeal might perchance afford some amusement to those internet denizens that seemingly take pleasure in reading of such travails. I shall explain forthwith….
Take one ordinary steel hardtail. Replace normal tires with studded versions. Add fenders—a task verily impossible, were it not for a king's ransom of zip ties. Viola—a winter-ready steed, champing to challenge the icy highways and byways.

Hello everyone,
I am using frostwire for a couple of years however since the last update the size of all songs is now showing in MB's. It used to be Always in KB's. Why is this and is it ok to download the songs in MBs. I';ve been told not yo do . Does someone have the right solution for me? Prob. something went wrong wih the last update? Thank you so much for your help.
Kind regards
The reason is that when songs are coming from YouTube if we try to download only the audio the download is served almost in real time as slow as possible by YouTube, so FrostWire now downloads the Video file which is served as fast as possible, and after it downloads the video it strips out the audio. In the end Audio downloads from YouTube will weight less in your disk, but they will take more bandwith to favor a faster experience, we believe time is the one thing we are all running out everyday and we don't want to make you wait for a download. We recommend you download audio youtube files when on WiFi to save bandwidth.

In official news, Zenit Saint Petersburg have signed Branislav Ivanovic from Chelsea.
The 32 year old Serbia international joins the Russian giants on a two-and-a-half year deal on a free transfer. He was heavily mooted to leave after falling out of favor under Antonio Conte, who has preferred the likes of Victor Moses, Marcos Alonso, and Cesar Azpilicueta to the veteran defender.
Ivanovic arrived at Chelsea from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2008 and has featured in 376 matches scoring 34 goals in the process for the Blues. During his 8 years, he also lifted the Premier League title on two occasions.
The Serbian expressed his delight at securing the move:
""I am motivated and I think that I can play for many more seasons at the top level," he told the club's website.
"I can say that I am excited to be here and everything went smoothly.
"I have to get used to the team and get physically ready for the upcoming official and important matches.""

Why Did I Like These? Top 8 Shows From My Childhood That Haven't Held Up
I was an even-tempered kid (most of the time), but you could be guaranteed a tantrum if you got in the way of my Little House obsession. I watched that show as religiously as Survivor fanatics watched the first couple of seasons. I was sure it was the Greatest Show Ever. Until a few years ago, I still remembered it with fondness...until I stumbled across an episode on cable. Yikes. What tripe! It's good for snark-fodder and nothing else. In fact, a stunning majority of the shows I watched in my grade school years are pretty cringe-worthy.
1.) Little House on the Prairie
2.) CHiPs (man, did I have a crush on Ponch!)
3.) Dukes of Hazzard (Bo is still kinda hot, though)
4.) Bionic Woman/The 6 Million Dollar Man (let's face it, they're the same show, they just changed the names on the scripts)
5.) Knight Rider
6.) Greatest American Hero
7.) Buck Rogers
8.) Facts of Life (you take the good, you take the bad...you misplace the good and you're left with this show)
You'll notice that Star Trek is not on this list. That's not because I think it held up well, it's because it doesn't fit the criteria for this list. To make this list, I had to have actually liked the show once upon a time. I always loathed that Star Trek drek, and I'll always hold a grudge against my mom for forcing me to watch it every Saturday while I folded the laundry. I enjoyed folding the laundry more than I enjoyed watching Star Trek, and I was just as lazy as a kid as I am now! That's sayin' something!

Impressive in style, tone and edgy performances, The Double — even at a brief 93 minutes — is also a chore to sit through. Actor-director Richard Ayoade (Submarine) adapts Fyodor Dostoevsky's mental-meltdown novel as an indy black comedy. It's Wes Anderson meets George Orwell meets Franz Kafka, unfolding in a Cold War–era, Eastern European episode of The Office designed by Terry Gilliam in Brazil mode. Which sounds a lot cooler than it plays.
In this sunless, sepia cityscape of cramped apartment blocks, ancient office furniture and dripping concrete alleys, Jesse Eisenberg plays Simon, an office drone as drab and unmemorable as his putty-colored suit. "No offense, mate," says a colleague, "but you're pretty unnoticeable — bit of a nonperson."
Working at a data processing center, Simon finds excuses to take papers for photocopying to colleague Hannah (Mia Wasikowska, working hard in a role that swings from melancholy angel to manic pixie dream girl). Simon can't find the cojones to admit he adores her, or ask her on a date. Or complete an entire sentence in her presence.
Everything changes when a new hire arrives. A fellow named James (also Eisenberg). Simon faints at the sight of the guy, since they're identical in every way. The joke — the attenuated joke — is that no one else notices this. That's because, in demeanor and action, James is everything Simon isn't: confident, brash, vulgar. He'd rather cut corners and take credit for other people's work than labor hard and not be acknowledged (like Simon) for it.
You can see where this is going. Cozying up to him like his new, best, fabulous buddy, James soon steals all credit for Simon's achievement, and worse. As we watch Simon implode in response, the movie captures the injustice, frustration and rage most of us have experienced when we feel overlooked and underappreciated. Which is one of The Double's challenges. Yes, movies can sell us any sort of story. But how many of us go to them to see our sorriest fears and grudges reflected? Most of us want escapism and release from the stories we watch onscreen.
Yes, that's an easy generalization. But there's a bigger problem here. The movie's opportunist doppelgänger James may be a prick, but he's a lot more fun to hang out with than that man-sized nasal drip Simon. Who wants to identify with him? Eisenberg is also way more fun playing James — a kissing cousin of his arrogant Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network.
Still, a lot of people seem to really like this movie. That would include the deep and widely talented supporting cast. In a time when every movie seems to be a comic book spinoff or a broad comedy heavy on vomit or Melissa McCarthy, you can imagine how eager good actors are to sign on for something offbeat like this. The people who turn up for brief pungent bits include Noah Taylor, Sally Hawkins, Phyllis Somerville, Cathy Moriarty, Chris O'Dowd, Paddy Considine and James Fox. Nice work, to limited effect.
The biggest challenge The Double faces is built in, designed by its creators in, well, its design. The visual and tonal elements that distinguish the movie are also what sabotage it. Filming a surreal storyline in a surreal style is something like a double-negative. The redundant choices nullify each other; the movie feeds on itself while leaving the viewer hungry.
The Double. With Jesse Eisenberg, Mia Wasikowska and Jesse Eisenberg. Co-written and directed by Richard Ayoade. Rated R. 93 minutes. At Landmark Midtown Art Cinema.

When looking for a home equity loan, there are good deals and there are deals that are just not meant to see the light of day. Unfortunately, many people end up taking up home loans that sound too good to be true only to end up paying the ultimate price much later on.
No matter how dire the situation is when you are shopping for a home loan, there are some signs that should send up red flags that you should never ignore. Here are several signs that you should say no to the presented home loan terms.
- Deals that come to you through the mail, telemarketing or fax. In many cases, these deals are scams.
- Home improvement contractors who are too willing to financing the work on your home.
- Home equity deals that have no clear and precise paperwork.
- Deals that are rushed through and are easy to get.
These are just a few of the simple telltale signs that a home loan deal is too good and may actually be a problem later on. Aside from these signs, here are several other things you should be on the lookout for when you shop around for home loans.
Loans that are being flipped
Loan flipping happens when a broker talks you into refinancing your existing home loan for no real benefits. Brokers will tell you that the new terms are more favourable in the long run, but they will fail to mention that there are fees and penalties to be paid before everything is set. These charges might end up putting in you in further debt.
Added on products
Every type of loan has some form of insurance that you must pay for as the loaned. There are also other products that can be added on in the name of making your loan more secure. Each lender has a different set of add on products that the customer can take on if they so wish. As soon as you come across a loan agreement that is forcing you to pay for extra products you do not need, say no to that home loan. You will only end up spending more money on things you do not need.
Loans with abusive prepayment terms
The longer you take to repay your loan, the more money the lender makes. Most loans have penalties attached to prepayments. It's usually a small penalty such as a few months' worth of interest, nothing too serious. Some, however, make it impossible for you to repay your loan early. Terms that forbid you from prepaying until the loan is in its fourth year or those that require six months' worth of interest as a penalty should be avoided at all costs.
Remember, the lender is out to make money. No matter how sweet they might be talking, it is their own interest that they put first. It is up to you to choose carefully and find a home loan that serves your own interests as well.Tags: home loans to avoid, how to know bad home loans, how to spot bad home loans

" It is hard to agree when two people are looking for different things in a home. Elissa, you made it easier by listening to both of us and helping us find a place that met all of our needs. Thank you ! "
Violeta, Allan and (Bailey Ruff!)

We will definitely recommend Elissa to people we know that are interested in buying or selling a house.

Elissa's kind, courteous and professional nature was instrumental in getting my house sold in a timely manner. She made my first home selling experience effortless and worry-free. Elissa went out of her way to ensure the home looked it's best for potential home buyers. I would strongly recommend Elissa's services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Dear Elissa;
We are ecstatic that our house is SOLD. In a week I might add!! We were pleasantly surprised that it sold so fast given it's a buyers market at the moment.
We are really happy with the overall experience and outcome of selling and buying our home. The timing couldn't be better! We really appreciated your expertise, patience, and guidance during the whole process. It got pretty hectic and overwhelming at times but with your professional advise and input of your own personal experiences, the decisions that we had to make seemed all the easier. You answered all of our questions promptly and efficiently. You even referred us to a home inspector and lawyer, which made it convenient.
Thank you so much once again! We definitely will recommend you to any of our family and friends who are looking to sell or buy a home.
All the best,
Millie, Henry, Laura
Dear Elissa,
It's very rare to find an agent who actually cares about their clients. Your easy going manner, and
top notch real estate skills are a winning combo, and I thank you for all your help in finding the right home for me. You're a great friend, Elissa.
As first time home-buyers we were very over-whelmed by the whole process of buying a house. Elissa made it fun and easy! She answered all our questions in a very timely manner. She also helped us find a house inspector and a lawyer. We are extremely pleased with our experiences with Elissa. We would recommend her to anyone we knew that is interested in buying a house.

Love it so much I'm going to buy more.

Great simple dress. Fits as expected. I ordered a Medium I am 5 ' 6" 146 lbs
Modern Twist on the LBD- Comfy and Sexy
Love this black two-piece outfit. It's very comfortable, which is something I cannot say for any of my other 'going out' outfits. It's sexy, but still has a classy vibe and I feel like I can wear it to any occasion . The skirt outlines my body without being too clingy. The black top ends a comfortable amount below my chest. A picture speaks a thousand words, so I added one below. For reference, I am 5'8", hourglass figure, big booty : ) I waited to review this item until I had washed it in cold water, and it did not shrink. I received this item at a discount in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Five Stars
Wearing this one asap
I highly recommend it!
It's really cute! I ordered the size XL at first thinking it will be too small but it was too big on me and then I ordered my normal size L and it fits me perfectly! You can always do free returns if you prime so why not! I highly recommend it!

Title of Bulletin Board: Olympic Sports
Category: Sports
Suggested Grade Level: K-5
Materials: Butcher Paper, Printouts from http://www.instantdisplay.co.uk/olympicsportcolouring.pdf
To get the elementary age kids at my school to think about the different kinds of sports and activities they can participate in to be healthy, I made a bulletin board with many different Olympic sports highlighted. I have the words, "Olympic Sports" along the top and "What Sport Would You Do?" along the bottom. I chose sports that don't involve weapons (fencing, archery, etc.) and enough that would fit on my board, colored a small portion of each picture and mounted it on construction paper, then hung them at angles on the board. I made Olympic rings from a die-cut letter O. It was fun to listen to the kids discuss the different sports they do or want to try as they walked by the bulletin board.

(Reuters) – The death of a nurse in Mali from Ebola prompted on Wednesday the quarantine of more than 90 people in the West African country's capital, as the World Health Organization said the disease had now claimed at least 5,160 lives.
The worst outbreak of the virus on record has ravaged the impoverished West African countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea and led to a global watch for cases outside the region.
Mali must now trace other people who had contact with the 25-year-old nurse and three others infected, just as an initial group of people linked to its first case completed their 21-day quarantine on Tuesday. Ebola's maximum incubation period is 21 days.
The more than 90 quarantined in Bamako included about 20United Nations peacekeepers being treated at the capital's Pasteur Clinic, where the nurse worked, officials said. Police locked down the clinic on Tuesday night.
In Sierra Leone, more than 400 health workers at one of its few Ebola treatment centres went on strike over unpaid risk allowances, officials said. Some returned later in the day.
Echoing that walkout were protests and strikes by nurses across the United States over what they characterized as insufficient protection for health workers dealing with potential Ebola patients. Two nurses, who treated a Liberian man who died of the disease at a Dallas hospital in October, contracted the virus but recovered.

How You Know Your Facebook Continues To Be Hacked
Imaginable my surprise after i attempted to gain access to my Facebook account on friday and it was motivated having a screen stating that my account have been locked out because there was a lot of unauthorized tries to access my account. My Facebook account have been hacked. What else could you do when dealing with this same tragedy? Fortunately, Facebook has lots of safety measures in position that will help you reinstate your account and return to delivering messages for your buddies again very quickly.
Stop worrying should you log-in for your requirements and obtain exactly the same screen I acquired. I had been more concerned about other accounts I've which use exactly the same username and same how to hack a facebook account.
The very first screen essentially claims that Facebook must verify that you're the right user for that account. So you've to click a control button to proceed to another screen. The following screen you will notice will highlight the web address and also the location of where someone was attempting to access your bank account.
Within my situation, I had been proven just a little pin on the Google map in Auckland, Nz. Facebook requested if the could have been me attempting to log-directly into my account out of this location. Well, since I have not visited Nz it couldn't possibly happen to be me. So, I clicked the button that stated something like this isn't me.
Next, I had been given a choice of how I must identify myself because the proper who owns the account. I possibly could either select a choice of delivering a confirmation e-mail towards the e-mail account on record before returning to go in the activation code, or identify a number of images of my buddies. The very first option was virtually never even a choice.
If my account have been hacked, how could I understand when the person had already reset the e-mail account and also the activation code visits the knuckle mind in Nz? I selected to test option two and identify images of my buddies.
It ought to be noted that you'll be proven your buddies pictures using their accounts and never images of them inside your account. If you do not think that you could recognize your buddies from the photo fall into line you will want to decide on the first choice of the activation code.
I had been brought through a number of nine different buddies and that i could identify these. Facebook granted me use of my account and that i was immediately motivated to alter my password. After altering my password, I had been given instructions by Facebook to alter the password on every other accounts which i might have which use exactly the same password. Which was the entire process. So be cautious and I recommend altering passwords monthly safe.

Chicken pie a winter treat
Puff pastry adds the finishing touch to these hearty bowls of chicken and vegetables.
Chicken pie
250g flaky puff pastry 1 egg, lightly whisked 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds 300g skinless, boneless chicken thighs
cup white wine or chicken stock
cup sour cream 2 tablespoons water 120g baby silverbeet or spinach leaves, roughly chopped
Roasted winter vegetables
1 bunch baby carrots, cut in half lengthways (about 250g)
250g punnet white button mushrooms, cut into quarters
1 parsnip, peeled, cut in half and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Preheat oven to 220C. Line two oven trays with baking paper.
Toss all winter roasted vegetable ingredients on first prepared tray with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast for about 25 minutes, until golden brown.
Cut pastry into 3-4 squares or rectangles (measuring about 10 x 10cm) and place on second prepared tray. Brush with whisked egg then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake pastry (on rack above vegetables) for 14-16 minutes, until puffed and golden. Check regularly to avoid burning.
Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside to rest. Return pan to heat.
When chicken is cool enough to handle, slice into 1cm-thick strips.
Add wine/stock to same pan used to cook chicken and allow to bubble and evaporate, while rubbing the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any pan brownings. When liquid has almost evaporated, add sour cream, water and silverbeet/ spinach. Turn heat to low and stir to combine, until wilted. Remove from heat.
Add roasted winter vegetables and chicken to pan with sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix to combine.
To serve, divide chicken and roasted winter vegetables between bowls and top with a puff pastry lid.
Chicken, roasted winter vegetables and pastry - a perfect combination to tempt the tastebuds.

I am Heikki and this is my invention. 20 years ago I moved to deep forest of Sipoo in Finland. I started cutting down trees and clearing the rocky site to build a home for my wife and me, to enjoy our retirement. Very soon I got angry on traditional axes, because they were so dangerous and hard to work with. The axe struck me more than once. I had to swing the axe high over my head to build up enough speed to split those fresh logs and eventually this activity started to give me back pain.
Favorite perk ($119)
Ready to be taken into woods. Splitting logs will never be the same! You will receive the new model of Leveraxe in red/black color theme.

text: The Redfeather Explore is built to bring out the winter explorer in you. These are like the four-wheel drive SUV of snowshoes built to handle everything from groomed walking trails to deep backcountry powder. The Control bindings use a webbing wrap binding that snugs up evenly all over your foot for incredible control even with a heavy pack, while the classic rounded tail design provides maximum floatation in deep powder. The bindings are mounted to a fully rotating suspension, allowing the tail to stay down. Keeping the tail down has several benefits like allowing snow to slide off the tail, reducing weight and keeping the tip raised to help you glide through deep powder. The rotating binding also allows you to dig the powder-coated Hawk crampon deeper into the snow on steep ascents.

Sometimes you don't know you need something till you get it.
Writing is a solitary process. You scribble in the middle of the night, you daydream figuring out all the plot points and character development, you draw your characters, you edit... all of that alone.
And then you get stuck. And you try to find solutions to your plot problems but nothing seems to work. Or you lose inspiration and get distracted with non-writing things. Sure, reading interviews with writers or articles on writing is inspiring, it feels good and I often get ideas! But... I rarely do any actual writing afterwards... ^^'
However, lately I've been very productive with my stories. And one of the reasons is – I have a writer friend now! (^o^)/ I used to think that writer friends were just for moral support and networking, I didn't know having one would be so magically INSPIRING *_*
And I ffffinally cleaned my messy desk (a bit) and put all my writing-related books there. Hopefully I'll remember to actually use them! ^^;
Writing Fiction For Dummies (it sounds silly but it's a great book!)
The Writer's Guide to Psychology: How to Write Accurately about Psychological Disorders, Clinical Treatment and Human Behavior
Your Writing Coach: From Concept to Character, from Pitch to Publication
Creativity Now: Get inspired, create ideas and make them happen!

text: Maura Dawn Photography | About Home | About | Galleries | Contact | Weddings It is much easier to tell you about the beauty I have glimpsed through the eyes of my camera than it is to tell you about me. But having your picture taken is an unnerving experience that makes some people very uncomfortable and run fast and far. And they find that if given just a little time, they start to have fun and see just how beautiful they are...and as such it helps to know a little about the person taking their picture, and maybe in the process, give Him some glory for all He's done for me. I grew up in Fayetteville, AR, took a brief turn in front of the camera myself before discovering I preferred the seat behind the lens instead (sorry that job is already taken), and at the tender age of 16 left high school for the big, big world of college..but that is another story for another time when you know me better. I wondered through three years of a teaching degree before wandering into a major change to art, and here I am. What makes me nervous? Missing a road chosen by my Heavenly Father, figure drawing class (they are naked, for heaven's sake!), and attempting to ride a bicycle next to my beast of a husband. I lead a group of senior high girls who make me laugh and cry and know joy of the sweetest sort. I have two little brothers I love so very much that I can't remember what it was like before our house was filled with basketball shorts! And when given a choice, I love a neck full of vintage necklaces and cozy sweaters. I want to do battle in the heavenlies, feed hungry children, bury my face in an armful of daisies, appreciate a good fire, look into the eyes of my husband. But for you? I want to take pictures. © Maura Dawn Photography About | Contact | Weddings Powered by ZENFOLIO User Agreement Cancel Continue

CORNWALL – If the North Dundas District High School Devils hope to qualify for a berth in the 2017 EOSSAA girls' 15s rugby championships they will need a huge win against the St. Joe's Panthers.
That crucial match between SD&G's two undefeated teams, originally scheduled to be played today (Wed., May 10) in Cornwall, has been postponed until next week because the recent rains have rendered the Panthers' field unusable. The winner of the Devils – Panthers confrontation will qualify to play in the EOSSAA tournament on Wed., May 24 in Pembroke. In their only other meeting (exhibition), the Panthers scored a 5-0 win on a first-half try.
Devils 49 – Falcons 5
Because the field at Holy Trinity was unplayable due to extremely wet conditions, last Thursday's (May 4) encounter was switched to the Devils home turf on Maple Ridge.
For a second consecutive game, North Dundas' speed enabled the Devils to pile up a sizable amount of offence, which resulted in a 49-5 decision. North Dundas has now outscored the opposition 123-6 in their two SD&G victories.
Veterans Jessi Zandbelt, Mallory Hutchinson, Lynette Klein-Boonschate and Megan Scheepers each ran in a pair of tries against Holy Trinity. Andrea Koch supplied a single try and booted a pair of converts.
"As a team we played better than our first game [against Tagwi]," explained head coach Reaney. "More of the younger girls were figuring out how to contribute."
Including exhibition tests, North Dundas has compiled a 5-3-0 record.
Next action
North Dundas will visit the Tagwi Warriors on Wed., May 17. The Devils will then meet the Holy Trinity Falcons in Cornwall on Thurs., May 25 before finishing the regular season at home in a showdown with the St. Joe's Panthers on Wed., May 31.
Devils roster
The 2017 NDDHS 15s rugby Devils are: Jessi Zandbelt, Mallory Hutchinson, Lynette Klein-Boonschate, Julia Gibson, Andrea Koch, Kim Roberts, Chloe Ziegler, Grace Cave, Katrina McDermid, Brooke Richards, Chloe Adams, Caitlin Begg, Kayla Sherrer, Kennedy Handler, Katy Van Schyndel, Meagan Scheepers, Desiray Clemen, Delaney Halpenny and Mackenzie Hibbett.

Soon after the first Leonard Cohen Hydra Stealth Bench1 report from Roman Gavrilin (aka Hermitage Prisoner) appeared, Cohencentric received this communique from Joy Ezekiel, another Cohenite agent currently on Hydra.
Now 24 hours after the planting of the stealth bench it can revealed that it was an English led operation. As a strategic and blame avoidance scheme, a mixed bag of Europeans were filmed near the site. Politicians from Netherlands and Ireland are seeing it as a blatant fueling of fire over Britain's threat to referendum their continued inclusion on the European Union. The value of the pound against the Euro is expected to rise sharply when markets open on Monday.

- As many Cohenites know, the proposed Leonard Cohen Hydra bench project, undertaken in commemoration of the Canadian singer-songwriter's 80th birthday, has been placed on hold due to objections from a local homeowner. Now, however, a stealth bench, constructed of exotic materials and embedded with sophisticated cloaking technology to create the illusion to the naked eye and in photographs that the massive facility is little more than a board and a couple of stones, has been deployed.

As the co-publicity chair for U.Va.'s Spectrum Theatre as well as my involvement in several other theater organizations over the years, I have been able to see the powerful impact theatrical performances can have on everyone involved.
Good theater creates a bond between the actors and the audience that lasts until the final moments of the performance. Great theater uses this bond to bring to light aspects of society, culture and human nature compelling both actors and audience members think about these issues.

As a Foreign Affairs and East Asian Studies major, I am no stranger to reading long and complicated nonfiction books. Fiction, however, is not really my forte. In spite of this, I decided to step out of my comfort zone this past fall semester and take an English course titled "Women in Literature: Contemporary Women's Texts," and it has easily become one of my favorite classes I've taken at U.Va.
The class' success can be attributed not only to the texts around which the course is based, but also to the professor herself. Professor...

Diaci1.9 is interim version of the Diaphorina citri psyllid genome based on Pacbio long reads. We have generated 36.2Gb of Pacbio long reads from 41 SMRT cells with a coverage of 80X for the 400-450Mb psyllid genome. The canu assembler was used to create an interim assembly with a contig N50 of 115.8kb and 8352 contigs. DIACI v1.9 has 8,352 contigs compared to 161,988 contigs in Diaci1.1 genome assembly. It has a contig N50 of 115.8kb and does not contain any Ns. Please note that this is an interim assembly so we will not be annotating it.
This project was funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the DEVELOPING AN INFRASTRUCTURE AND PRODUCT TEST PIPELINE TO DELIVER NOVEL THERAPIES FOR CITRUS GREENING DISEASE grant.

Hi, I just discovered your website!!! How exciting. We (my husband included) love our 'little' Nellie so very much, I don't know what in the world I would do without her. She is a Netherland Dwarf who is QUEEN of our home.
What I am really writing about though, is something else entirely. I have become quite upset recently with the addition of 'rabbit' to many upscale restaurants here in the Northeast. It is just disgusting to me to even think about. I have written letters about this and called various restaurants. However, it requires a larger effort. Do you have any thoughts on this? They are pets, not food. Just as a cat or dog---one would never find 'cat' or 'dog' on a menu in America. We really need some effort on their behalf. It degrades them and places them in a lowly category. Help!!
--Emily C.
I'm so glad you wrote me about this.
I couldn't agree more with you. My husband, Paul, and I wanted to go someplace for my birthday last year in Boston -- some place kind of swanky. So we tried Hammersley's, a place we've been saving for a special occasion. You guessed it, no sooner did we sit down than Paul opened his menu and saw rabbit on the menu and we were up and out and looking for a new place. We had to hit almost 5 more restaurants on the street before we found one without lagamorph on the menu. So that's how we deal with it -- I usually check the menu ahead of time, but sometimes we forget and then Paul has taken to looking at menus first. We get up and walk of plenty of restaurants (not only here in the Boston area, but in California, Florida, etc.) if they have bunny. It's disgusting, you're right.
I could understand a little bit if it were only French restaurants or only restaurants in rural areas, where rabbit is actually part of the cuisine and heritage. I still wouldn't eat at those places, but I feel like if it's a cultural thing, who am I to judge, even if I love rabbits as animals and not as meat sources? But it's not just those places, it definitely seems to be more prevalent in "normal" nice restaurants, as you've mentioned. I'm not aware of any formal motion to pull rabbit off menus, but I'm sure interested in any if you come across it. I think the best thing we can do is to walk out at this point. Spend our money at places that choose not to butcher the brothers and sisters of our beloved pets.
There is an entire industry of rabbit farms, where the animals are kept in conditions no loving creature should be confined to, just to be grown and slaughtered for their meat. In a country where cows, chickens, etc. are not rare, I'm at a loss as to why this occurs.
Riding the line of yick vs. acceptable, my brother and his wife and 2 kids have a pot-bellied pig. For 17 years, she's been a loving and wonderful (if misunderstood) part of our family. We all still eat pork and bacon, though. And we try not to think too much about where it came from. I suppose everyone has known an animal at some point who has had a loving heart, only to have a similar meat served up on their dinner plate. This is, after all, the way of life on farms. Although those animals do not live in the home and are not awarded "family member" status, as pets are.
I think the difference with rabbits is that us rabbit-lovers are just insane about our bunnies! :-) That and they are very popular -- the 3rd most common animal in shelters in the U.S., if that's any indication.
Let's vote with our wallets to frequent the places that don't degrade themselves to serving rabbit meat. And keep calling! You never know when it'll make a difference!
BTW, I've had 2 ND mixes, one of which was just full of little attitude -- just like Napoleon!

from Jan
We recently finalized our adoption! YEAH is a big understatement of how we feel. As we excitedly share our good news with people, we get heartwarming good wishes, thoughtful congratulations, and we have, at times, gotten some variation of this response: "Wow, that little girl is so lucky." While, at some level that may be true, who can really be sure what her future would be regardless of how/where she lives? Reveling in the excitement and congratulations from our friends has only heightened our enjoyment of this event; however, the "how lucky she is comment" is a little tricky for me.
I've realized the COMFY thought I have is: "Wow, we are really fortunate. What a great addition to our family!" Jeremy and I struggled a lot to get pregnant with Joshua. At the time we knew it had been a struggle, but we certainly did not know it was going to be a one time event. We worked hard to get pregnant again multiple times afterwards, to no avail. I am so happy to look back and know that we loved and embraced our one pregnancy. I can understand the fact that I will not be pregnant again without regret, but with joy that I had the opportunity once. That is more than some families get.
When we found out that we would be welcoming our daughter home at the end of the year, all four of us were given an amazing opportunity to grow our family and to bring more love into our house. At its foundation, this event is not about her being lucky or us being lucky. It is not about all of the paperwork we filled out. It is not about if we were able to get pregnant or not. It is about building a family with love, learning, and COMFY. I'm not sure luck has anything to do with that. We have worked hard to complete this process and we will work hard to be a family, to love each other, to learn from each other, and to grow together. For us this is just what you do to have a COMFY family.

Dental implants serve an important purpose and are becoming increasingly popular. After you lose a tooth, the teeth on either side of the gap eventually shift in position due to the pressures exerted as you chew. In some cases, these teeth can start pushing out of their sockets – a sure sign that you'll lose those teeth too. Implants can prevent these problems and improve your smile at the same time.
Every tooth has two main parts: the root and the crown. The root exists below the gum line and serves as a stable anchor for the visible portion of the tooth – the crown.
A dental implant is a small titanium cylinder which is surgically inserted into your jaw to act as the "root" of an artificial tooth, anchoring it into the jawbone. Don't worry about pain, because the experts at our Surrey Dental Clinic perform the implant procedure after you've been given a general dental anesthetic. By attaching a replacement tooth to your implant, we avoid the need to use a dental bridge.
Your dentist in Surrey is an expert in this procedure. When the work is completed, your implant and crown assembly will fit and function so well you'll hardly be able to tell it's not one of your natural teeth. With a dental implant, you'll speak and eat normally, preserve the integrity of your jawbone and healthy teeth, improve your self-esteem, and feel more comfortable with yourself and others. Your facial structure will remain the same, and you'll regain your beautiful smile!
The implant procedure requires several steps and at least three visits to our dental clinic in Surrey. The first step is the surgical implantation of the implant into your jaw. You won't feel any significant discomfort as this is being done because you'll be under anesthesia. This step takes an hour or two, depending on how many implants you're receiving.
The next step is actually a four-to-six-month waiting period, during which the bone of your jaw will grow around the implant. Because of the lengthy wait, your Surrey dentist will probably recommend that you have a temporary crown put into place during your first visit.
After the waiting period and during your second visit, we'll expose the top of the implant and attach an abutment to support your permanent crown. We'll then take an impression and send it to the dental lab where your permanent crown will be fabricated.
Once we receive your permanent crown from the lab, you'll come back for your third visit to our Surrey Dental Office. We'll place and fit your permanent crown so it's comfortable and gives you a great smile. After it's in place you'll be able to eat and talk normally once again.

Chronic, desperate, timebomb - all words used to describe the science and tech skills shortage during a hands-on exhibition for 12-year-olds in South Yorkshire.
Hundreds of youngsters from 23 schools solved puzzles and played with equipment at stands set up by 28 companies, with an emphasis on fun.
But behind the smiles, bosses will be praying some of them will choose science, technology, engineering or maths - STEM - subjects when selecting their GCSEs next year.
TeenTech, at Doncaster Racecourse, was privately organised and funded.
Fronted by former Tomorrow's World star Maggie Philbin, it aims to bridge the skills gap created by an ageing workforce and lack of interest in young people.
It is one of a host of events with the same mission, including science week, apprenticeship week and careers week.
More locally, The Big Bang Fair in June and July - also at the Racecourse - will be 10 times the size of TeenTech and covers all of Yorkshire.
In Sheffield, Get Up To Speed will be staged at Magna for the first time on April 22.
Paul Mitchell, of TeenTech headline sponsors Efficiency North - a buyers' club for social housing maintenance - said there was a "desperate" skills gap in the construction industry, with a claimed 750,000 people needed.
He added: "The sector has picked up dramatically in the last 12 months and companies are having to ask workers to stay on past retirement because they can't be replaced."
Toni Hunter, of the Vulcan to the Sky charity - owners of the sole 1950s bomber still flying - said there was a seven per cent shortfall of aeronautical engineers in the UK. And Martin Watson of IBM said the computer industry faced a double-edged problem - a chronic lack of recruits and huge training costs due to the need to constantly update skills.
Companies attending included AESSEAL, Axita, Bridon, Skanska, EDF, JRI Orthopaedics, JVC, Maplin, Mondelez, National Grid, Network Rail and Pegler.
