Empty Vessels.Thursday, April 07, 2016
I'm a social worker. And if you know anything about social workers, you know that social workers are great at taking care of everyone but themselves. I think it comes with the territory - anyone who has a passion for helping others also has a tendency to lose themselves while doing so.
It's an oddly tough lesson to learn. But not caring for yourself comes at a high price. You can lose a lot - your sanity, your happiness, your ability to function - all can be lost if you do not consider your mental health to be a priority.
You can't serve from an empty vessel. You can't help anyone when you can't help yourself. If you are to save the world, you must first be able to save yourself.
I'm writing this as a reminder to myself, and as encouragement to everyone out there who forgets to fill themselves up before serving others. Serving on empty is pointless. It's meaningless, and it's a sure path to failure.
Love yourself. Serve yourself. Care for yourself. Then serve others.
xoxo, Jayy

THE RECENT death at age 91 of Edna O. Campbell, my high school principal, was nearly impossible for me to believe. A veteran of nearly 50 years in the city schools who touched the lives of thousands, she seemed like an eternal force of nature to me.
As a wide-eyed sophomore entering the then-revered Frederick Douglass High School in 1967, I was in awe of her.
In those days of social upheaval, Mrs. Campbell -- then one of a dwindling number of old-style black educators in the city -- made it clear that regardless of the revolution in the streets, she was in charge at school.
Then she seemed terribly out of date to me. Women had started wearing miniskirts and pants; Mrs. Campbell continued to don conservative dresses that fell below the knee and low-heeled pumps. She addressed each student individually as "Mr." or "Miss" followed by their last name, to underscore that all people deserved respect; in a group we were "gentlemen and ladies."

Very tasty.
Looks like a good dish I will be tryin this summer when I have eggplant from my garden.Until I taste it the rating will be a 6.
Excellent...I added a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to the vegetables before putting into baking dish. Also, added Mrs. Dash to the vegetable mixture as well as some garlic powder and black pepper. Did not use as many bread crumbs as recipe called for...maybe just a 1/4 cup. Easy to make and very flavorful with the addition of the garlic powder and black pepper. NOTE...once cooked, it reduces to 1 1/2 cups not 3 cups.

Each of us desire to be the "best that we can be." we look the mirror and think, "If only I could change the way I look..." Maybe it is not a large change, just some small aspect of the facial or body features you wish were just a little better. These mirrored images reflect the way you view yourself as a whole - the inner person as well as the physical being. Through today's advances in cosmetic surgery, you can heighten your self-esteem by transforming your outward appearance into a positive attribute. James Tang, M.D. invites you to learn what options in cosmetic surgery can best reflect the image you want to portray.

Grab 'Dead Space' for Free this Month!
Visceral Games may be gone, but their work still remains. Of course, they were the folks behind everyone's "The Thing in space" 3rd-person survival horror epic, Dead Space, which this month is the game that's been selected for Origin's "On The House" promotion. In other words: You can get Dead Space for absolutely free on PC.
Of course, you'll have to sign up with EA's Origin service (and install the Origin program), but a chance to relive the horror that is Dead Space before EA decided to "change" things for absolutely free? It's worth it. Will EA revisit the series down the road? Will there be a spiritual successor? I know I'm not the only one who hopes so.

Merona Embellished Cardigan), Blouse-Forever 21 (similar New York & Co Bow Blouse), Pants-Old Navy (similar The Limited Colorful Skinny Jeans), Flats-American Eagle (similar Delman Patent Leather Cap Toe Ballet Flats)
I wore this outfit to work last week. I had scoured Poshmark looking for this cardigan after kicking myself for not buying it. Luckily I found it, in my size, for a fraction of the price JCrew was selling it for. Since it was a true fashion miracle, I've worn it a ton ever since. Today I decided to pair it with this black bow blouse for double the bows!
I've previously worn the bow cardigan with a striped tee and jeans for a more casual look.

text: Sandy Sorlien Photographs | INLAND: The Abandoned Canals of the Schuylkill Navigation Sandy Sorlien Photographs Home | About | Inland | Main Streets | Rowing the Schuylkill | Along the Banks INLAND: The Abandoned Canals of the Schuylkill Navigation After much bushwhacking and research, with guidance from other bushwhackers and researchers and support from the Fairmount Water Works, I have photographed the entirety of the 200-year-old Schuylkill Navigation system, or what remains. Until now there has been no such contemporary record. At the completion of the Navigation in 1828, the Schuylkill River was tamed from Port Carbon to Fairmount, 108 miles. After some additions and rerouting, by the 1830s there were 32 dams, 51 miles of slackwater pools, 57 miles of canals, and 120 locks. Even before the official opening of the Navigation in 1825, barges began to bring coal down from the mountains, and canals provided water power to factories. The Navigation literally fueled the Industrial Revolution throughout the watershed and beyond. Unfortunately, it also led directly to the pollution of the river, then and now the drinking water supply of Philadelphia and three other cities. The Philadelphia Watering Committee looked for other sources, but nothing else was viable but to clean the Schuylkill. The river's recovery began with the Schuylkill Project of 1947-51, the first major government (state and federal) cleanup of an American river. Most of the dams were dismantled. Coal waste that had piled up behind them was dredged, impounded in new basins, and recycled. The river was finally able to clean itself, a huge step toward healing the ecosystem, two decades before the regulations of the Clean Water Act. Now, as the expanding Schuylkill River Trail leads us to previously inaccessible sections of the riverbank, more of these sites may be cleaned up, commemorated, even partially restored. But many will lie neglected on private property. At the 200th anniversary of its construction, I'm documenting the abandonment of the industrial landscape that has shaped my native Schuylkill River Valley ever since the first dam was built. All the sites are in Pennsylvania.

Smart Home
Getting your gadgets on the same teamHow a flood sensor and water valve can detect floods and minimize damage
In most houses it's pretty tough to get a good view of water being piped in and out of the home. Here are CNET appliances testing lab, we set up this contraption here to show how to not only detect floods from burst pipes but also how to minimize the damage resulting from them. As you can see, we got this water main coming in here And running up this pipe to this gadget right here call the Fortrez-z Wireless Z-wave water valve. Essentially this works the same way a ball valve does except it adds remote functionality and integration with our smart things hub. Now And now I can shut off the water and turn the water back on using my phone but I can also do something even cooler. With the smart things integration we can take the Fibraro flood sensor that we already have installed and when that sensor detects water We can have it end the message to the hub which in turns forwards that message to this valve right here. Basically one of pipe burst a water sensor will detect it and it will tell this valve to shut off the water supply immediately. Which will minimize potentially costly damages. While this setup definitely won't protect against environmental floods like a sump pump would. It will take action against burst pipes even if you're asleep or away from home. [MUSIC]

WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ--(Marketwired - Mar 2, 2016) - Coates International, Ltd. (OTC PINK: COTE) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the two industrial diesel engines have arrived in the USA from a major Chinese manufacturer today. These engines are to be retrofitted with the Coates CSRV green power technology. Management believes that this transaction with a major Chinese engine manufacturer is a very important step forward for the Company. Diesel engine manufacturers around the world are facing big problems to have their diesel engines meet the new emission standards. Heavy trucks, buses, cars, marine engines, off-road machinery and many more diesel applications cannot meet the new emission standards with the more than 100 year old poppet valve systems.
Here at Coates International, Ltd. we have been working hard at this very problem for many years and have come up with the most advanced CSRV green power (patented) technology in the world. Management believes this is a great opportunity for the Company to take the next step in its business plans that will create a major new market for the Company's products. There is no other alternative to this worldwide problem; we have the remedy to fix it.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any of its endeavors.

Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to a new and exciting academic session.
My name is Okechukwu Alozie and I am the Head of Library Services for the whole school (Primary & Secondary). Working with me this year is Mrs. Olajumoke Ejaife and Miss Safiyah Abdussalam.
We are working with an e-based Library software called Eclipse.Net. This is your gateway to books, websites and other resources in the school. The new system allows students, staff and parents to view our school library catalogue online and students are encouraged to use this to help with research, to write reviews about books they have read and search for new books that they may like to read. Varieties of links are being added to aid and vary the educational and reading scope of our learners.
The library catalogue, now searchable online, includes over 30,000 books and audio-visual resources as well as many thousands of approved websites. You can access the system via the school website at: [http://www.cislagos.org] (from the Library interface).
In order to access this programme, you might need to install Microsoft Silverlight; please allow this to be downloaded and installed on your computer as the system cannot run without it. There is also an App called iMLS available for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android and Windows Phone. This App can be freely downloaded by going to your App provider and searching iMLS'.
Having the library accessible in this way and having parents engaged with reading will help to support our commitment to improving our students' literacy standards. Your KS2, KS3 and KS4 children have login details for the new system which is their school email address as their username access and a generic password: cislagos. Students are expected to change this as soon as they log on so as to protect their personal access codes from other users. You can also track their borrowing history and perhaps help them to choose their next read.
Parents please come into the Library to register as users and for those who are already registered, send me an email to request for your very own username and password. The school is strongly committed to promoting reading for pleasure.
We have also purchased the license to Britannica Online. Encyclopaedia Britannica is a leading provider of learning and knowledge products, which provides one of the world's most trusted sources of information on every topic imaginable – from the origins of the universe, to current events and everything in between.
The recent Britannica Online School Edition is a unique, online resource designed to meet the learning needs of students and teachers.
Trusted Content
- Teachers can be confident that students of all ages can safely research online.
- All of the content within Encyclopædia Britannica is based upon the expert knowledge of over 4,500 global contributors.
- Britannica's unique editorial process ensures that all content is non-biased, non-political and factual.
Staff and students can access this link from the School Intranet.
Finally, our school is proud to say we are now a member of the School Library Association – (http://www.sla.org.uk/), which caters for Library needs and trainings within the E.U. The School Library Association (SLA) is committed to supporting everyone involved with school libraries, promoting high quality reading and learning opportunities for all.
Have fun using the new interface and be sure you familiarise yourself with all the new features. Feel free to click on the links to find out what information is behind them, as we will share regular updates and links to assist you.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Yours Sincerely,
Okechukwu Sunny Alozie
Head of Library Services

Wolverhampton Wanderers were sent crashing to a second heavy, spirit-sapping defeat inside five days as they surrendered the leadership of the Championship to Birmingham.
'Super Kev' Phillips once again proved a thorn in Wolves' side by getting the goal that knocked Wolves off top spot. But it was the absence of Mick McCarthy's own goalgetters that proved his outclassed team's undoing in rain-lashed West Wales.
Wingers Michael Kightly and Matt Jarvis, allied to the finishing ability of Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Chris Iwelumo, were simply rampant in Wolves' first eight games, helping to run in 23 goals. But take four players like that out of a starting line-up and any team would struggle.
And, when the name of Ebanks-Blake was added to a six-man Wolves injury list that already included Kightly and Jarvis, and with Iwelumo suspended, McCarthy's men were always going to be up against it.
And, although Andy Keogh equalised after Wolves were stung by a 25-second opener from Jordi Gomez, it was another striker, Swansea's Jason Scotland, who ended up making a name for himself outside this corner of Wales with a match-winning brace.
McCarthy made four changes from the team who surrendered their unbeaten record so tamely at home to Reading in midweek. The Wolves boss had already responded to the loss of his injured wingers by bringing Carlos Edwards in on loan from Roy Keane's Sunderland.
Edwards made an immediate, although sadly extremely muted, debut wide on the right. But McCarthy's option of bringing in Michael Gray wide on the left was foiled by an untimely stomach bug. And, instead, he brought in deadline signing George Friend for his debut at left-back, switching Stephen Ward, who had to overcome a painful midweek rib injury, further forward.
In addition, McCarthy was forced into a change up front, as last term's top scorer Ebanks-Blake was out with a knee injury.
His response, already minus the needlessly suspended Iwelumo, was to play with a lone striker in Keogh, bringing in David Edwards to play in the free role just behind. And he also opted for another surprise change in goal, making Wayne Hennessey accountable for his crucial error in midweek, when he miscued a punch into his own net.
That offered Carl Ikeme, who only made his first Wolves league start a week ago, an instant recall. But his first task of the day was to pick the ball out of his own net after McCarthy's men were sloppily undone almost straight from the kick-off.
Andrea Orlandi was allowed to progress down the left before slipping the ball inside to Gomez, who evaded Kevin Foley to tuck his low left-foot shot inside Ikeme's left up right.
It was the fifth time in this season's 10 league games that Wolves have given the opposition a goal start inside the first quarter of an hour.
But they were level after 17 minutes when David Edwards ended a neat move by slipping in Keogh. And, for once, in a one-on-one, the Irish striker came off better, his shot squirming through Swans keeper Dorus de Vries.
Wolves did twice go close to a second through Neill Collins headers at set piece but it was the Swans who were carving out the better chances.
In one scramble, it needed the bravery of an alert Ikeme and a goal-line rescue from Foley to deny Scotland. And Mr Kettle had the home fans boiling with rage when he chalked off a goal for offside having correctly judged that Gomez was interfering with play.
Scotland then fired against the bar from close range. But there was to be no denying him when another chance came his way four minutes later and, after a slick one-two with Gomez, Ikeme's half-save could not prevent him putting Swansea back in front.
It was a deserved lead for the Swans and McCarthy knew he needed to change things. Wolves looked to have levelled when Sam Vokes came off the bench and latched onto a great right-wing cross from Foley.
But his connection was not a clean one, de Vries saved with his legs, and, five minutes later, Wolves were 3-1 down.
Scotland's right-foot stunner effectively finished the contest, leaving only the small matter of seeing how many cautions the fussy Mr Kettle could run up by the final whistle on this tricky, soaking wet surface. But, incredibly, the most deserving of them, Angel Rangel's chopping of Carlos Edwards, did not even warrant so much as a chat.
Wolves did come close to pulling one back late on when Richard Stearman's header was cleared off the line but, for the 2,600 rain-lashed visiting fans, the best away following at Swansea's 'new' home of the past three years, this was not a day to rue too many missed chances – just badly missed frontmen!
SWANSEA (4-2-3-1): De Vries; Rangel, Monk, Williams, Painter; Pratley, Britton; Orlandi (Tudur-Jones 64), Gomez, Gower (Bauza 90); Scotland (Pintado 73). Subs: Tate, Brandy.
WOLVES (4-4-1-1): Ikeme; Foley, Stearman, Collins, Friend (Vokes 51); C Edwards (Shackell 81), Henry, David Jones, Ward; D Edwards; Keogh. Subs: Hennessey (gk), Potter, Hemmings.

Hastings Environmental Law Journal will publish two online issues in a digital format per yearly volume: Winter and Summer.
HELJ is exclusively available online to reduce its resource use, but its commitment to environmental law remains as vigilant as ever. To read the first issue of Hastings Environmental Law Journal, Volume 24 Number 1 Winter 2018, click here. Below is the inaugural Editor's Foreword from Editor-in-Chief Jessica S. Durney '18.
It is my great pleasure and honor to introduce the first issue of the newly christened Hastings Environmental Law Journal. In an homage to our predecessor West-Northwest, this Winter 2018 issue presents a variety of articles, essays, and notes on environmental law and policy issues in our home state of California. We found it fitting to highlight our state's efforts to lead the vanguard of progressive environmental law and policy for our first issue. In an era of federal deregulation and ambivalence toward environment issues, California's role in setting the bar has never been more important or timely.
As part of our transition to the Hastings Environmental Law Journal, we have decided to craft a tradition of emphasizing the practitioner viewpoint on environmental law and policy issues, in addition to the traditional scholarship attributed to law journals. Thus, our list of authors for this inaugural issue is packed with some of the best and brightest stars in the legal field marching to further California's leadership role in environmental issues.
In a fitting close to over thirty years of cutting-edge scholarship, we are bridging the transition from West-Northwest to Hastings Environmental Law Journal with Paul Cort's article A Zero-Emissions Future, which provides an update to his 2015 article in West-Northwest, Getting to Zero. Next, as a fitting start to our inaugural issue and new emphasis on practitioners, our second piece offers the perspective of California State Senator Bob Wieckowski, who writes a fascinating account of his efforts to craft a new path for reducing greenhouse gas emissions through his California Cap and Trade extension, Senate Bill 775.
Following that trend, we present three practitioner pieces touching upon several different aspects of environmental issues pivotal to California. Jennifer Hernandez presents California Environmental Quality Act Lawsuits and California's Housing Crisis, an update to her study of CEQA lawsuits to argue a need for updating the Act's litigation rules to better align with California's environmental, equity, and economic priorities. Christopher Butcher and Johannah Kramer next provide a case review of Friends of Eel River v. North Coast Railroad Authority, outlining the split between California's Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit and setting the stage for future litigation within the context of California's High Speed Rail project. Finally, Darry Sragow and our own Monika Darwish provide us with California's Clean Car Law: Fifteen Years Later, a Look in the Rearview Mirror to give us the lessons learned from the landmark legislation, and its future uses in tackling the causes of climate change, both in California and beyond.
Next, I am particularly excited to present a series of essays from distinguished practitioners and panelists at this year's Environmental Law Conference at Yosemite. First in this series is Kimberly Bick presenting her piece, Contaminated Groundwater as a Resource in California, which evaluates plans to use treated groundwater as drinking water. Suma Peesapati follows with her essay California's Next Environmental Frontier: Climate Justice Leadership, an overview of California's efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and the failings of its Cap & Trade system to fully and adequately account for environmental justice issues. Next, Clark Morrison provides his essay California's Response to the Trumpian Rollback of Wetland Protections Under the Clean Water Act, which accounts for the state's new procedures that will bridge the regulatory gap presented by the Trump Administration's Executive Order and subsequent proposed rule to revise federal jurisdiction over wetlands. Finally, Joshua Viers and Daniel Nover present their piece, Too Big to Fail: Limiting Public Risk in Hydropower Licensing, an essay arguing for reforms necessary to reduce future shocks to water management in California similar to regulations created after the 2008 financial crisis.
Concluding our inaugural issue are three stellar student notes. First, Claire Wilkens writes Using Drones to Fight Slavery in the Field: An Examination of the Practicality and Constitutionality of Applying 21st Century Technology to a 21st Century Problem, a fascinating work of scholarship presenting a novel idea for managing a crisis in our state's agricultural sector. Next, Matthew Olhausen presents his note, Conservation Easements for Green Urban Spaces, on a creative solution to the quickly diminishing open areas in an era of increasing demand for new housing. Finally, Ross Middlemiss closes our issue with a critical piece, H.R. 23: An Assault on Water Resource Conservation and California's State Sovereignty, analyzing the bill's impact on our state's ability to regulate and control water resources within our borders.
I am extremely proud of this issue, and could not possibly imagine a better group of authors or editorial staff with whom to work. Many thanks for all the late nights, last minute phone calls, countless emails, and endless support devoted to make this first issue happen.

Hopefully, it will pack a nice little extra punch that surprises all of us!

Not soon. I see, like me, you have dropped interest in the G6DS Real ?

From the first scene depicting Lori Wheeler's frustration with the criminal justice system, turmoil and guilt prevail. Danger, conflict, and suspense abound in this captivating romance between a woman who believes her dreams of love died in a car crash and a Mountie whose dedication makes love a complication he doesn't need.
Dedicated to law enforcement, RCMP officer, Rand McCormick, will get his man and he will use the woman to do it:
The objective---stop illegal drugs coming ashore.
The prize--------the smugglers' kingpin.
The means------use of a luxury yacht and Lori Wheeler.
The fly-in-the-ointment----Lori Wheeler--she detests cops.
Excerpt #1
Seated in Lochaber Haven's restaurant, Lori Wheeler watched a spooky sight round the bend of the mist-shrouded river in front of her--a large yacht navigating to the resort's dockside. She shelved her glum mood just as a waitress approached.
"We've never had a yacht that big try to dock here," the waitress exclaimed, looking out the window. "If the captain takes her any farther up the channel, he'll never get her out." She pressed her hands to the small of her back in awe of the spectacular appearance.
Lori's eyes widened and she glanced up at her. "He's taking a risk to escape the heavy fog, isn't he? It must be scary out on the
As the craft sliced through the mirror-black water, Lori's curiosity pushed her misery to the back of her mind. The apparition slowed and inched forward. "He probably has every navigational instrument known to man on board."
"That won't help him in these tight quarters." The waitress, dressed in a white blouse and a
Lori didn't need to be told that this narrow river, carved inland from the rugged
The yacht's engines stopped.
Lori's interest honed in on a hazy figure as it leapt from the wheelhouse down onto the main deck. She could barely make out the captain's cap. Two green-shirted lodge employees rushed to the wharf, yelling out suggestions. There simply was no room to tie up, let alone latitude for the boat to turn and leave. Reversal, skirting the bend, begged for trouble in the deepening fog.
The yachtsman's white sneakers stood out as he tracked from one end of the craft to the other, surveying the water's glassy surface. He climbed back up to the wheelhouse and disappeared.
Lori squinted and concentrated on the boat's ultra-white gleam piercing through the opaque vapor. The eerie motion of the yacht started again but was so slow it was almost impossible to detect. If it hadn't been for the few ripples of dark water kissing the Fiberglas sides and the slight bubbling wake, she would have thought the mirage had anchored. Nudging closer to the cliff, the yacht edged along the rock base. Suddenly, the water stilled.
A second shadowy form appeared on the deck. She watched as he checked the sides of the yacht and appeared to holler up to the boat's captain, his words muted by the dampness in the air and the barrier of the restaurant's glass. A few minutes later, the phantom slung a rope over the rail. He accurately scored a hit from the bow as the looped end draped over one of the four pylons fastened to the cliff rock. Embedded there for tying up the overflow when the main dockside was filled, tires dangling from the posts protected boats from scrubbing against the hard surface.
"They made it." Lori's rare burst of enthusiasm surprised her.
"I'd like to be here to see how they squeeze out." The waitress laughed, filled Lori's water goblet and returned to the kitchen.
Lori sipped her water and turned back to watch the excitement. The captain reappeared, and with bounding agility duplicated the performance of his mate, winching the yacht's stern securely to another pylon along the cliff's stone wall.
The two men stood on the deck engaged in animated conversation. The way their arms flung in wide measuring gestures, their concern involved the limiting space they were in. She wondered if they had argued about their destination beforehand, because it was evident the mate was not pleased to be here. The captain's tall, large frame was impressive from this distance, especially with his bone-straight stature. He seemed determined to win the discussion and she saw he finally succeeded. The two men ended the argument and worked to lower an inflatable rubber boat with ZODIAC printed on the side. The pair climbed in and paddled the short distance to the dock.
Her chin resting on her steepled fingers, Lori followed their movement while waiting for her meal. Her face heated when the captain glanced up at her window as he walked with his mate up the incline from the wharf. At the sight of her, he came to an abrupt stop. She wanted to look away, but something compelled her to meet his brooding scowl. Her head reeled from the impact.
"Do you know those men?" Lori asked the waitress, when she served her a small tossed salad with a tiny loaf of homemade bread.
"They've been here before but not with the boat. They came for dinner one night last week." She bent down and whispered, "I remember, because the captain left a big tip, and of course his good looks make him hard to forget." The waitress moved to tidy nearby tables.
When Lori looked back outside, the captain was still staring up at her, even though his companion had continued into the sports office beneath the restaurant. Was the man spellbound? Not by her beauty, he wasn't. Nothing about her should attract his attention.
To Lori's way of thinking, there wasn't a thing about her to attract anyone. Since the accident, there was less reason than ever to draw a man's eye. But her scar was on the side away from his line of vision--he hadn't seen that she limped.
She narrowed her eyes and bore down on his mist-bound face, then realized something was vaguely familiar about him. She couldn't remember where she might have seen him. That was the way of her memory the past year. Nothing, except for the anger, stayed in focus long. As quickly as she managed to grasp some tidbit of information, it left her.
This lack of permanent stability, in addition to her bitterness, forced her delay in returning to work. As the Administrator of Criminal Court Services, her job had always satisfied her. But she believed in justice for all, then. Lately, she'd realized she might never again be able to face entering the building. And did she really care? Yes. She cared. Cared enough to absorb the expense and come to a resort she could hardly afford.
The man outside lowered his eyes with her inspection, then took off his cap and ran his fingers through his hair. Without looking back up, he placed the cap on his head and chased after his companion.
Lori absent-mindedly drizzled the house dressing on her salad and sipped the ice water to clear her head. Where had she seen him before? When? She stared into the gloom.
"Ma'am, you're dinner will be ready in a few minutes." The waitress seemed concerned she wasn't eating, but the woman had been right: he was not the kind that could be easily forgotten.
Lori took her first bite of salad and while chewing it cut off and buttered a slice of the fresh loaf. This bread smells delicious. The butter melted quickly. It tastes even better. She continued eating, but her mind ran rampant. The moment she had seen his thick dark hair, it commanded her attention. She had a habit of noticing men's haircuts and was certain she would never have forgotten that healthy mass. The strength harbored within those frowning eyes twitched every nerve in her body, though. She had seen them before somewhere. He'd seemed shocked to see her, as if he recognized her. Damn. Why can't I remember?
Excerpt #2
A bitter taste welled up the back of
Obviously, she took umbrage at the word, "no." With her grudge against the RCMP, he didn't stand a chance in hell of gaining her cooperation. He should have seen it coming; the vibes had been there.
"I'm leaving,
She jumped up, her eyes blistering a warning--back off. Her hands buckled and the movement didn't signify a general uneasiness--it foretold of an imminent eruption of fury. The realization challenged his usual finesse. He leapt to his feet and blocked the door.
"Look. I didn't mean you can't leave. Of course you can go, but I'm afraid I've upset you. I haven't been through what you have, otherwise, I'd probably be even more hostile with the law. Lori, give me a chance to make up sounding so sharp... I'm the one being judgmental... Please? Stay for the evening. We can understand each other better if we keep the lines of communication open."
He wasn't shoveling bull this time; he was dead serious. It meant a great deal that she didn't take offense. She had postured, aware she had placed herself in peril. The truth of it was: he was stronger and blocking the only escape route. She'd never make it out on the deck. Surely, she was wise enough to give in to his plea while it still was a request. But she wouldn't fool him; she was smart, and he'd have to be on guard for any tricks she might come up with to get away.
Lori sank slowly to the leather surface and stared out at the gloom. Her pale face reflected her inner turmoil. He wanted to help.
"Can you forget what I said?" He needed her on his side, but insulting her because he'd let his temper run askew wouldn't cut it. "I had no right calling you judgmental. I'm sure you have reasons for your slant on the case." Sitting across from her once again, he was surprised by how defensive and angry he'd become in just a matter of minutes. She had slandered the RCMP--his pride and joy--and he couldn't find a way to defend it without making her suspicious. Watch it, or those sparkly eyes and her quick mind will do you in,

From New York Times Bestseller, Corinne Michaels, comes a new friends to lovers standalone romance.
Blurb: There's no way I'll fall for Wyatt Hennington.
He can keep his Southern drawl, irresistible smile, and those pick-up lines all to himself. I made the mistake of sleeping with him not once, but twice. I'm not stupid enough to give him round three, especially after he left me in the middle of the night so I could see myself out. I vow to return to Philadelphia and forget him.
It proves easier said than done.
When the doctor informs me I'm the winner of door prize number two, I put my life on hold and head back to Bell Buckle. Three months and if we can't make this work, I'm gone.
The problem is—when the cards are stacked against us, and I can't bring myself to leave him, I'll finally know if he truly loves me or if all my fears were real . . .
Let me preface this with, I freaking love Corrine Michaels. Lover. Her.
However, I only mildly liked this book. It seemed predictable and way too sappy at the end. There was no real complication or tension and that sucked because this book had potential. Of course, I find out that this book is part of a series after I read it…story of my life, however, I am only willing to assume some of the blame BECAUSE it says this can be read as a stand alone. Well no it can't. There are overarching characters that will help you better understand the main characters, Wyatt and Angie. This could be why I feel like this book was only mildly interesting….then again, nope, that might not be true considering I already knew where this story was going the second she went to the doctor's appointment. Now, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with predictability, but once we got to the crux of the problem the rest of the story felt rushed.
I'm going to give the book 3 stars but I really REALLY recommend reading Say You'll Stay first. To purchase this book via Amazon click Here

tend his store (I want to shelter her--
the broken English, the strangeness
of a Jew, of a body at fourteen).
She was alone. Four boys ganged her.
For one year she had to stay in an asylum.
No one told. North, she met her husband
whose artistic, fluent ways enabled her
to ripple like a fountain. But not so fast--
first she grew fat, so that each morning,
bone by bone, a corset laced the chaos
to its parts: full breasts, slim waist,
round hips: a figure eight to match my age
those summer nights I shared her room
and saw the miracle, how, stay by stay,
lace by lace, she loosened the reined flesh
and sent it tumbling--ahh a machaiah! --
fold by fold, sigh by sigh, the drench of it
so delicious I told everyone
when I was grown I wanted fat
like hers, vast and operatic.
It's a sheroot, that's what
Israelis call a jitney, a car for hire,
layering nine people--more--in tiers,
our baggage rope-tied overhead
like the upper layer in a dig, t
he jumble of us a somehow-
linked-together carload underneath.
Three Hassidim (black coats, black hats)
insist on sitting separate;
they climb in back. No smile, no greeting,
they want no part of me, a woman
without a wig or scarf to hide my hair.
One cradles a little girl on his lap
whispering to her from time to time,
not in Hebrew but in Yiddish:
Mameleh, du vilst shpillen?--
language of my childhood, labials that cling
like steamed milk to its cup.
So when the man who coos the child
tells the others where he lives is good--
you don't see any gentiles, you don't see
any dirt--me zet nit kayn goy,
me zet nit kayn shmutz -- I burn.
He means my son-in-law
is filth, my daughter's love
is unacceptable. In sounds that sing
he spits. This is the homeland, we
are related, but home, he says, is his.
There it is--Jerusalen--suddenly
on its hill--and I am not prepared.
He threw me in the bay
and I refused to rise.
A friend convinced him
children swim by nature.
So would I. His child,
daughter of the show-off
fighter, I held myself
down, damned
if I'd perform
for any father's friend
who never even glanced
at me. And down there
I took the time
to swear and plan and look
at bubbles coming from my mouth.
Those men who pulled me
out, they had to pump
like mad. They were the ones
who had to dance.
The night before our wedding day I took
A fit. My mother, who said she hadn't cried
Like that when her first baby died, shook
Me--too many fittings? showers?--to take pride
In my fine man, in what I'd planned: angora
Sweater, dinners by candlelight, perfume
On my arms, White Shoulders, its aroma
Would take us to an island place, a room
Unknown, our very own. Pioneers. Married
I cooked, he waited to be fed. His work
Did not go well, we moved. Pumpkin-headed
I wandered aisles, staring. Pick up. Put back.
Spring. On Hibiscus Court hibiscus bloomed.
I longed to be back home, getting married.
"He hath made me to laugh, so that
all who hear
will laugh with me." Sarah, GENESIS 21:6
They always liked a good joke. Even a bad one.
The one about the eighty year old man
who takes a young wife. "A fatal marriage,"
his neighbor warns. "Fatal, shmatal,"
he replies, "if she dies, I'll take another."
Jokes are what they had, my folks
who scared me so with troubles
and loud arguments. In the middle of
my mother's unfulfilled desires,
my father's failures, working day and night
to make a living--you call this living?!--
came the joke. The breather. The sun
to warm us. The moon was sex,
a mystery you needed to deflect
by making light: a young man
asks a young girl if she'd like to
take a walk in Prospect Park, and then
he's getting fresh with her. She protests,
"What do you think I am, a prostitute?!"
He says, "Who's talking about money?"
They laughed. Immigrants, they bundled
loss. I don't know when my mother coupled
sorrow with sweet impudence to coin
her favorite exit line: "If I live and be well I'll see you
tomorrow; if not, I'll see you Thursday."

Pelican Bay DIY Pickling Kit Review
Pickling is much, much easier than most people think. Quite literally, throw some veggies in a jar with pickling spices and wait for the magic to happen.
This kit can be used to make spicy pickled cucumbers, green beans, asparagus, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, beets, and so much more. And there's enough pickling spice for two batches so you can mix-and-match and get creative!

Career Paper - Sales Representative
Career Paper Outline: Sales Representative
I chose the career of a sales representative because that is what my dad does and it is also a job that interests me. I feel that I could also be good at this job because I can work well with people and have good communication skills. Being a sales representative also interests me because of the variety and flexible hours. With variety you would be doing different things every day and the job wouldn't get boring, and I like that. I also like that you would be able to make your own hours and have a flexible schedule. You could have your own office in your home and work whenever you want. If I had a job selling something that was appealing to me, it would be that much better. I could get motivated about my product and be able to sell it much easier. I feel that I would be able to explain the features and benefits of a product very well. These are just a few of the reasons why I'm interested in the career field of a sales representative. Introduction
In my intro I would talk about why I chose that as my topic and why I would want to be a sales representative. Body
In the body paragraphs I would explain what the job entails and the pros and cons of being a sales representative. Also I would tell about possible job fields and opportunities in being a sales representative. Conclusion
I would wrap up this paper by explaining why being a sales representative would be perfect for me. I would also end by reiterating the main points from the body.
A possible career for me would be being a sale representative for a major company in an industry that I enjoyed. My dad is in this position and this is what made me want to have this job. He enjoys flexible hours, good pay, and doesn't have to work behind a cubical. He gets to interact with many clients that he is now good friends with and also is able to travel to some extent. These are a few of the reasons why I am interested in becoming a...

As mentioned in earlier posts, I've worked with Kim and her mom Tricia since September creating everything from invitations to menu cards to monograms to seating chart posters.

CAIRO – Egypt's state-run news agency says security forces have arrested the secretary general of the Freedom and Justice Party, the Muslim Brotherhood's political wing, and another high-ranking Brotherhood member.
The news agency says on Monday Hussein Ibrahim, the dissolved party's secretary general, and El-Refei Hassan, were hiding in the western Mediterranean province of Marsa Matrouh on Egypt's north coast. It says they have confessed they were trying to reach Libya.
The Muslim Brotherhood has been facing a mass crackdown since President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi led a July 2013 military ouster of former President Mohammed Morsi, a longtime Brotherhood official, amid mass protests against his rule.
Morsi is now in jail, the Brotherhood was designated a terrorist organization in December 2013, and the party dissolved in August last year.

The Air Jordan 1 has seen countless iterations and colors since it first released in 1985. This year, Jordan Brand appears to be trying something new with the Air Jordan 1 Zipper.
The Jordan 1 has seen numerous methods of construction, including everything from Ultra variations, to Deconstructed pairs, KO versions, and most recently the Flyknit model, fusing the basketball classic with the best technology Nike has to offer. Yesterday, images appeared online that show an all new Air Jordan 1 with a zipper running down the tongue in place of the laces. While this design is very new for the Jordan 1, it is not a new idea for Nike, who most recently collaborated on the Lebron 15 with Kith's Ronnie Fieg, adding similar zipper designs to 3 different colorways of the shoe. This iteration of the Jordan however, seems far more toned down than the LeBron release. This Jordan 1 features a jet black upper and gold zipper, along with red Nike Air branding on the side of the tongue. The rest of the shoe appears to be largely unchanged, though it remains to be seen what materials this pair will utilize.
Although no further information has been provided yet for the Air Jordan 1 Zipper, be sure to keep it locked with us for news on a release date and more.
