Thomas County Middle School visits Pebble Hill
This week the Thomas County Middle School 5th grade class visited Pebble Hill Plantation. This was the fifth year that the middle school has come to tour the plantation for a day of learning and fun. The 300 plus students came to the museum to see the plantation site which was once the home of Elisabeth Ireland Poe. Lori Curtis, Education Coordinator for Pebble Hill, said, "We always look forward to the students coming each year. They bring their contagious energy and enthusiasm which motivates us to make each year better than the year before."
While at the museum the students were led by docents to learn about the history of Pebble Hill, the way of life for the people who lived and worked here, and the role it has played in Thomasville's history.
Gail Trotter, Thomas County Middle School teacher said, "Pebble Hill is a unique opportunity to explore the technological advances from the early 20th century and the sustainable community that existed. Many students are unaware of this treasure in their own backyards, and we are grateful to the Pebble Hill staff for sharing this piece of local history with us."
The Unique and Irreplaceable Old-Growth Forests of the Red Hills Region
Enlightening Bites Lecture Series
Friday, Dec 1, 2017
Flipper Room, Thomas County Public Library
12 P.M. to 1 P.M.
Pebble Hill Plantation and the Thomas County Public Library are pleased to announce the upcoming Enlightening Bites program, The Unique and Irreplaceable Old-Growth Forests of the Red Hills Region on Friday, December 1 at 12 Noon in the Flipper Room of the library. The program is being presented by Jim Cox.
Thomasville and surrounding areas in southwest Georgia were once dominated by extensive old-growth forests that featured wide-girth, centuries-old trees. It's hard to grasp the extent and appearance of these forests in today's world, but small pockets of old-growth exist here and there that provide valuable insights into what was and what might be again with restoration. In the case of the forested areas once dominated by longleaf pine, southwest Georgia has some of the best examples of old-growth pine forests anywhere on earth and nearly 20% of the total acreage that remains. These facts underscore the unique qualities of the Red Hills region and provide testament to the exemplary land stewardship that has been practiced. The presentation will discuss some of the unique ecological qualities of old-growth forests of the region and why it's important to think more seriously about restoring old-growth characteristics, where appropriate, on public lands.
The Enlightening Bites Lecture Series is co-sponsored by Pebble Hill Plantation and the Thomas County Public Library. Attendees are invited to bring their lunch. Drinks are provided. The series is free and open to the public.
Field Trip with Tall Timbers Research Station's, Jim Cox
Saturday, December 2, 2017
This trip will complement the Enlightening Bites lecture that will take place this Friday, Dec. 1, 2017 at the TCPL.
Saturday's field trip begins at 9:00 AM and will feature a wagon tour of one of the region's few remaining old-growth stands of longleaf pine. The stand is located on Melrose Plantation and features 200-year-old trees, pockets of native groundcover containing phenomenal species richness, and cavity trees used by the imperiled Red-cockaded Woodpecker. Participants will learn about the unique characteristics of old-growth longleaf forests as well as get first-hand looks at some of the special plants and wildlife these forests support. Each tour will last approximately 1.5 hours.
The event is free, but reservations are required. Call Lori Curtis at Pebble Hill Plantation: 229-227-5390
We recommend long pants and comfortable shoes.
Bring your camera and binoculars and join us.

About Us
In 1974, three cousins named Joe, Tony, and John bought a little neighborhood sandwich shop in Pennsville, NJ. Known to the locals as "Pat's", the three cousins decided to keep the name but add their ...own, unique flair to what became known as "Pat's Pizza."
"Pat's Pizza" is recognized for striving to provide only the freshest, highest quality products to its customers. With this focus in mind, "Pat's Pizza" began to develop a strong reputation and expansion soon followed.
Decades later, "Pat's Pizza" evolved to the next level of service. We combined our years of experience, service and quality with improved dining rooms that have a cozy, distinctive look and feel. This created "Pats Pizza & Bistro." The result, a truly unique dining experience.

How health care stifles innovation
Yes, I know that health care is not the topic du jour. But innovation is. And the two are intimately related to one another.
In recent months, I've had the opportunity to witness first-hand how the U.S. "system" of health care stifles our individual creativity and, ultimately, our collective ability to innovate.
A promising young journalist friend was almost unable to accept a once-in-a-lifetime, part-time writing assignment—even though his employer was willing to grant him a leave of absence. Why? Health insurance. A gifted handyman is unable to exit an untenable living relationship and geographically relocate to a new place that holds greater economic promise for him. Why? He'd lose the health insurance that comes with his significant other. A first-rate saleswoman languishes in a job that she hates. Why? She is afraid of losing the health insurance that her less-than-inspiring employer provides to her family.
Yes, health care reform has been passed, and some relief will begin to trickle through the system over the next few years. But it will take more than this before our individual and collective energies are no longer held hostage by the health care system.
This is something that reasonable people should be able to agree on, despite differences in their political leanings. If we are to unleash human potential – and we must do so as a nation, if we are to maintain a comfortable standard of living – then we simply can't have an entire nation of creative people whose life choices are dictated by their need to maintain their current health care plan.
This calls into question the motivations of employer lobbying groups that resist any and all innovations that would help people achieve greater health care security. While it might be in employers' individual interests to continue to use health care as a means of reducing employees' ability to quit, it is not in our national interest.
It stifles creativity and innovation at a time in our nation's history when creativing and innovation are exactly what we need.
Capitalizing on employee innovation
A new Forbes.com article explores how Bayer AG systematically encourages innovation from its 108,000 employees – and then sifts through to identify and capitalize on the best ideas.
The foundation is a program called "Triple-i: Inspiration, Ideas, Innovation," with submissions from any employee routed directly to a team of innovation experts at Bayer AG headquarters for evaluation.
Fostering innovation
A recent IBM study found three characteristics that are crucial for successful business innovation, which can help companies create a more sustainable competitive advantage in today's ever changing marketplace. These "three A's" (alignment, adaptability and analytics) are highlighted in a Forbes.com article that also emphasizes the importance of using data in creating innovative business models.

Trying to find a replacement cylinder for the Cub Cadet Power angle plow. This was a kit made for the snow plow on cub cadets. Using the front hydraulic outlets on the tractor; for turning the plow. Plow kit # 190-378-100. The cylinder was # 717-3031. Both kit and cylinder no longer available.
Cub Cadet hydraulic cylinder for power angle plow
We are the original source for Cub Cadet cylinders since MTD bought the line. The part number you have provided does not appear in our records, therefore it could have been used on the original International Harvester models. The design is very similar to cylinders we made for another company in Cleveland, and may have been manufactured for one of our other turf equipment customers. The part number appears to be an MTD number, therefore may have been a design we developed for their Commercial Turf Products equipment. Regardless, we have the ability to reproduce almost any brand or style of hydraulic or air cylinder. You might want to consider sending it to us for a complete refurbish, or possibly to duplicate as a replacement. Custom Cylinders currently provides repair and replacement service for customers from most of the states in America. The original Cub Cadet cylinder was made like the one first used on the mower lift. This proved to be too small for the punishment it received. They then went to the new larger cylinder. Some at the sites for Cub Cadets have posted measurements and photos. Almost everyone that plows with a Cub Cadet wants a power angle blade; and are looking for a newer replacement cylinder. Mine was rebuilt two years ago and the constant running into frozen snow plows has started to seep after running. I think a cylinder from Surplus Center may work with a few mods. #9-4410-08. Found a few drawings (poor but show measurements of the smaller cylinder). And photos of old and newer model cylinders.

A wonderful year, spent in a place that offers good wine and tasty food is what everybody would have at least once in life. For each month passing you could find several habits, recipes and moods from the part of France that probably is closest to Italy. After reading this book you'll try to leave your country if it hasn't food&wine traditions (or you'll apreciate your spanish or italian origins if you have them).
People from Provence, in this book, are rough but kind, easy but troubled but know hot to enjoy life.
Delightful to read, especially while you are travelling in provence.
the perfect book read by the pool in a tropical resort, also the book that lured me into visiting Provence 5 years ago
Funny and light... It actually made me laugh out loud. Great descriptions on food... A little window onto French Village life...

A Guide to Dental SpasAugust 3, 2009
As the number of cosmetic dental procedures has increased in recent years, so has the demand for dental spas across the country. A cross between a dentist's office and a beauty spa, dental spas are designed to make everyday dental procedures less scary by utilizing a number of relaxation techniques throughout the office. Visits to dental spas grew by 143 percent between 1997 and 2002, according to the International SPA Association, making dental spas one of the fastest growing niche fields in the medical industry.
Despite the recent surge in popularity, dental spas have actually been around for more than 30 years, when dentists first began looking into ways to make a trip to their office a more pleasant experience. Since then, the dental spa industry has gotten a boost from the abundance of new cosmetic procedures that bring patients into the office more frequently and for longer periods of time.
What is a dental spa?
Dental spas are licensed dental facilities where patients can undergo a variety of dental procedures in a more relaxing atmosphere than the standard dentist's office. To do this, dental spas utilize a number of age-old techniques meant to sooth patients, many of which are also used in popular day spas.
In large cities and small towns, dental spas are commonly found in hospitals, health clubs, and resort or hotel settings, as well as medical parks and shopping centers. Patients visiting a dental spa for the first time can expect to find a soothing, calming atmosphere, commonly decorated with soft colors and candlelight, similar to a day spa environment.
Among the services offered at a dental spa that may not be offered at a standard dentist's office: Patients are welcome to experience complimentary massages and reflexology while undergoing stressful dental procedures, and may also occasionally be offered the chance to relax in vibrating chairs, watch movies, or listen to music during the exams as well—all with the goal of putting the patient in as relaxed a state as possible.
In addition, many dental spas offer a wider variety of cosmetic dental procedures than those offered in other medical offices. These include teeth whitening, veneers, enamel shaping, contouring, and bonding, along with the more standard dental procedures such as cleanings and cavity fillings.
Who should consider going to a dental spa?
Patients with a fear of the dentist are considered excellent candidates for dentistry spas, where they can expect to receive the same quality of care with less fear-inducing stress. Beyond those with an overwhelming fear of dentists, however, dental spas are an excellent option for just about anyone needing dental care. Because these offices offer virtually every service a person could need—from basic teeth cleaning to more advanced root canals and other procedures—just about anyone can consider visiting one.
What are the benefits of dental spas?
Thousands of would-be dental patients forego visits to the dentist each year due to an overwhelming fear of the dentist's chair. Thanks to the emergence of dental spas, however, many of these people are finally able to get themselves in to see a doctor, albeit in a calming environment where they feel relaxed and safe.
As an additional way to calm patient's anxieties, many dental spas offer pharmaceutical sedation methods not available in other practices. Although they should be used sparingly, these methods are an obvious benefit to anyone who has experienced the terror of sitting through a grueling dental procedure for hours on end with only mild anesthetic.
In addition, dentists report that certain procedures and oral operations can actually be more dangerous on patients who are tensed up, which is why examining patients who are relaxed is actually beneficial for the dentistry professional as well.
Are there are risks to visiting a dental spa?
Although dental spas have many followers, they have many detractors as well. As such, dental spas are not recognized by the American Dental Association—which governs dentistry practices across the country—even though they are recognized by the International Medical Spa Association. A number of licensed dentists have spoken out against dental spas, and worry that patients may be seeking out dental procedures that are unnecessary and potentially harmful.
To combat this, patients interested in visiting a dental spa for the first time would be well advised to seek out information about the specific spa they are visiting beforehand. This includes ensuring that the dental practitioner is licensed, that the spa itself is licensed, and finding out what past patients have to say about the practice. In addition, prospective patients can contact the Better Business Bureau to ensure that no complaints have been filed against the salon before booking their first appointment.

Marines with the 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, took part in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear training on June 25 at the East Fuji Maneuver Area in Japan.
The training familiarized the battalion with how to conduct live-fire artillery operations while dealing with a CBRN threat.
Battalion commander Lt. Col. Ricardo Miagany described the training as a priority because it incorporated lessons the marines learned during Operation Tomodachi, the U.S. disaster-relief effort following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
"We were able to support the Japanese people in their time of crisis during Operation Tomodachi," Christoper I. Kamm, the chief warrant officer and a battalion CBRN officer, said. "Now we are fully capitalizing on the CBRN lessons learned, regarding radiation survey, monitoring and overall contamination awareness. Operation Tomodachi was the first time it was done for real—it wasn't just a theoretical training evolution."
The scenario, created by 2nd Lt. David A. Serrano, the battalion's intelligence officer, tested the ability of marines to conduct combat operations in a contaminated environment. The training also incorporated the opportunity to cooperate with Japanese allies.
"It gives the Marines the opportunity to train in the environment in which they could potentially fight, should any threat arise," Serrano said. "It reinforces our alliance with Japan. The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force assists us when we train in their homeland, and, when they see that we are constantly prepared to be that '911 force,' it reminds them that we are still here to help them protect their country."
Serrano and Kamm both called the training a success.
"I think the Marines got good training out of it," Serrano said. "The commanders got to be on the other side of a moving, thinking enemy, and they made the right decisions."

The Ladies welcomed near neighbours Altrincham-Kersal to Gorton Street in the first round of the "National" Intermediate Cup. There were few candidates for the end of season highlight reel (apart from maybe a couple of bloopers) but was still a comfortable win in the end.
Barring a couple of early mistakes and penalties that allowed the visitors to temporarily visit the home side's half, the opening quarter was spent with Eccles camped in the Altrincham-Kersal 22. But despite the territorial dominance there were no points on the board due to forced attempts at final passes and some uncharacteristic handling errors. On the 18 minute mark scrum half Fawn Lucas took matters into her own hands and darted across the line for the opening score.
Eccles came forward again but this time were thwarted by a combination of white line fever and last ditch defence, with multiple opportunities to score out wide being shunned in favour of scrappy play up the middle. It took until the 32nd minute, while A-K were down to 14 players following a yellow card for deliberate offside, before Eccles scored their second try through debutant Mikayla Hale. Natalie Gill added the extras. The message to move the ball around finally seemed to sink as Igemi Ekoku ran in a third try just before half-time which Nat Gill again converted.
At half-time there were wide scale changes to keep bodies fresh ahead of the team's return to league action next weekend. But the rhythm of the game didn't seem to be disrupted too much as on the resumption Mikayla Hale went in for her second try. A few minutes later, following some impressive hand-offs from Kelly John, Natalie Gill was able to cross for a score out wide.
To the visitors credit they stuck with their task and following a string of penalties mounted some pressure of their own. Following a clumsy tackle from Hale she was shown a yellow card, and after it was explained to her what that meant she left the field for 10 minutes. During this time Altrincham-Kersal had their best moment of the game as their fly half accelerated through the extra space in midfield and held off the chasers to cross the line and make it 31-5 with 20 minutes to go.
Eccles were keen to extinguish any hopes of a fight back and after some good running from Natasha Hopkins it was Alex Stokes that threw an audacious dummy to split the defence and go in under the posts. Natalie Gill slotted her third conversion. With the game now settled the last 15 minutes played out without much incident, until the dying moments when Sara Davis peeled off the back of a scrum for a well taken try, making the final score 41-5. Natasha Hopkins hard work in defence and at the breakdown was rewarded with the Forward of the Match award. Mikayla Hale's two tries earned her Back of the Match.
Eccles safely through to the second round which picks up following the conclusion of the league season in February. Altrincham-Kersal will enter the plate competition where we wish them all the best. The Ladies next game is a return to league action when they visit Birkenhead Park on 17/11/13, before welcoming West Park Leeds to Gorton Street for their next home game on 24/11/13, with a 14:00 kick off.

Do you remember Toby Sheldon aka the man who spent $100,000 on surgery to look like Justin Bieber? Well, he's back! And he's teamed up with Kitty Jay (the woman who spent $25,000 on surgery to look like Jennifer Lawrence) and Venus D'Lite (the "RuPaul's Drag Race" contestant who spent some equally absurd amount of money to look like Madonna), to release a music video.
The song, titled "The Plastics," is a heavily auto-tuned ode to plastic surgery, in which all three gruesomely detail the portions of their body that are now synthetic. Anyway, watch the video to the end and be sure to write down the name of the licensed doctor who participated in this project, while all three of the "plastics" whisper "You want to be one of us."

Quotes About With Apology
Request an apology when you believe you deserve one, but don't get in a tug of war about it. Instead, be a role model and tender a genuine apology yourself when an apology is due. Your willingness to apologize can be contagious and models maturity for your partner. Also, your non-apologizing partner may use a nonverbal way to reconnect after a fight, defuse the tension, or show you he's in a new place and wants to repair a disconnection. Accept the olive branch however it's offered.Send Quote
Men do what is called a good action, as some piece of courage or charity, much as they would pay a fine in expiation of daily non-appearance on parade. Their works are done as an apology or extenuation of their living in the world. I do not wish to expiate, but to live. My life is not an apology, but a life.Send Quote

Second Half Surge Drives Marquette Past West Virginia, 75-53
Jan. 10, 2009
MILWAUKEE (AP)--Jerel McNeal scored 26 points to lead No. 18 Marquette past No. 25 West Virginia 75-53 Saturday.
Dominic James added 17 points and Wesley Matthews scored all 13 of his points in the second half for the Golden Eagles (15-2, 4-0 Big East), who recovered from a rough shooting start against a physical Mountaineers team to take control in the second half.
Da'Sean Butler led West Virginia (11-4, 1-2) with 16 points, but got into foul trouble just after halftime and was held scoreless in the second half.
Marquette took control with a 16-5 run down the stretch--and most of the Golden Eagles' points came at the free throw line, stoking the ire of West Virginia coach Bob Huggins.
With Marquette leading by 2, McNeal began the run with a 3-pointer at the 8:29 mark, earning a slap on the backside from coach Buzz Williams as he got back on defense.
West Virginia's Wellington Smith made a jumper, but the Golden Eagles went on to score the next six points on free throws while playing some physical defense of their own.
Matthews picked up his fourth foul, and was replaced by Dwight Burke--who immediately blocked a shot by Smith into the front row. Marquette then forced a bad shot by Will Thomas as the shot clock expired, the beginning of a two-minute scoreless skid by the Mountaineers.
McNeal hit another 3-pointer with 5:26 left, putting Marquette up 60-48. Huggins called a timeout, then was called for a technical foul for arguing with an official.
McNeal hit one of two free throws, and West Virginia's Alex Rudoff hit a 3-pointer to cut the Golden Eagles' lead to 10. But Lazar Hayward answered with a 3-pointer, putting Marquette ahead 64-51 with 3:22 left.
After halftime, West Virginia took 35-29 lead on a dunk and a layup by Cam Thoroughman. But Marquette came back to take the lead with an 11-0 run that included nine straight points by Matthews, who was shut out in the first half after going 10-for-10 from the field in Marquette's victory at Rutgers on Wednesday.
Butler picked up his fourth foul at the 16:37 mark, sending him to the bench. Key reserve John Flowers also picked up his fourth foul with 11:11 remaining, but West Virginia managed to keep the game close thanks in large part to physical inside play on both ends of the court.
In the first half, the Golden Eagles shot only 33.3 percent--including 1-for-10 from 3-point range. Marquette recovered to shoot 52.2 percent in the second half, making 4 of 7 shots from beyond the arc.

After the RSVP closing date we will calculate if any additional tickets are available for sale. Information outlining the scheduled date and time for sale of additional tickets can be found on the Your Ceremony Details and Ticket Purchase section.
Graduations are an important celebratory event, and our experience is they are much appreciated by our students and their guests. Part of the celebration is for all those who are taking part in the ceremony to dress appropriately. Academic dress (consisting of robe, hood and hat which together we call a 'gown') is mandatory for those taking part in the ceremony. A student must wear a Canterbury Christ Church University gown appropriate to the level of qualification for which they are being presented, even if the student already holds a higher qualification. National dress may be worn.
Gowns are hired via our official suppliers, Ede & Ravenscroft. It is important to note Ede & Ravenscroft require 3 weeks' notice to hire a gown so order yours in plenty of time.

Considering the often low N64 game sales in Japan, it's no surprise that Konami is milking one of its most popular franchises again. No, we're not talking about Castlevania or Metal Gear Solid (you wish) -- it's Powerful Pro Yakkyu (Baseball) 6, the sequel to last year's best-selling title.
Once you get over the cute, big-head approach, previous installments of the series have awarded players with a solid baseball experience, filled with innovative manager and trainer options.
Powerful Pro 6 is currently slated for a June '99 release. Don't expect this one to come to the US.

In the span of one 30-minute news conference Wednesday, Georgia said goodbye to two players responsible for 88 percent of the offense the Bulldogs accumulated in 2008.
When Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno announced they would forego their final seasons of college eligibility to enter the NFL draft, two immense voids immediately opened.
Their departure all but ensures Georgia won't begin a second straight year as the preseason No. 1 team in the country, but as coach Mark Richt made clear, it doesn't change the Bulldogs' goals of winning a conference title.
"There's a lot of things we can improve on as a football team that can give us an opportunity to win the East. Now if I had my choice, I'd like these guys to stick around," Richt said.
"I would think we'd have a better chance with them, but there's a lot that goes into it."
While the Bulldogs' offense won't look the same this season as it did last year, Richt thinks the ingredients for a championship contender are still in place and improvement could be in store in other areas.
Georgia struggled on defense in 2008, but the Bulldogs are likely to return key seniors in Jeff Owens, Geno Atkins, Rod Battle, Prince Miller and Asher Allen. Georgia also landed two top defensive recruits last week in defensive end Montez Robinson and cornerback Branden Smith, who was rated by Rivals.com as the top prospect in Georgia.
Moreno and Stafford's departures, along with the graduation of senior Mohamed Massaquoi, mean Georgia's skill positions on offense will take a hit, but the Bulldogs expect significant improvement on the offensive line in 2009 after suffering through a series of injuries last season.
Vince Vance and Trinton Sturdivant both expect to be healthy in time for fall camp, meaning Georgia could enjoy a competition for playing time that will include as many as nine linemen with starting experience.
Rising sophomore A.J. Green will also have another year of experience under his belt after leading the SEC in receiving this season.
Green was named to the Football Writers Association of America Freshman All-American team Thursday.
Of course, until the season begins, the biggest questions will surround the void left by Stafford and Moreno. Where fans see two significant losses, however, Richt sees opportunity.
Richt named Joe Cox as his starting quarterback entering the spring, but said a fierce competition could emerge between a quartet of running backs.
Sophomores Caleb King and Richard Samuel earned some playing time behind Moreno in 2008, while freshmen Dontavius Jackson and Carlton Thomas will get their first taste of action this year.
"We've got four other backs in the program right now," Richt said.
"I know right now Caleb and Richard and Dontavius and Carlton are excited that, hey, my time might be here right now."
While the battle at quarterback may not be as competitive, Stafford's replacement said that intensity is the one thing he doesn't have to worry about.
Growing up, Cox said, he tried to emulate NFL star Brett Favre by bringing enthusiasm and energy onto the field each game. He now considers that to be his greatest asset.
"I feel like I can get this team together and have everybody have the same goal and hopefully bring some fire to everybody," Cox said.
"I'm a rah-rah guy. I like being vocal. I like getting loud. That's just how I play. Hopefully if I can transfer that to just a couple other people on the team, it could spread like wildfire."
Moreno and Stafford brought tons of talent into the Bulldogs' locker room, but Cox said there were times when the team didn't play with the intensity they needed, and he thinks his personality could help to remedy that this season.
"You can see certain games where it just seemed like we were flat," Cox said.
"We just needed somebody or something to spark it, and hopefully I can bring the way I like to play, hopefully that can change some things and maybe bring some fire to us."
Richt said that with Cox under center and a new group of runners in the backfield, this season's offense will have a different look, but not necessarily a less successful or more conservative approach.
In fact, even without two of the biggest stars to call Georgia home during Richt's tenure with the Bulldogs, Cox said he doesn't expect much to change at all.
"We still have the same type of guys," Cox said.
"It always hurts when you lose two superstars like Matthew and Knowshon and another in Mohamed, but the good thing about football is, once somebody leaves, somebody's got to step up, and we've got plenty of guys to do that at every position."

Situated perfectly between new and exciting 'start up' businesses and large established businesses we can support our clients and job seekers here in South Oxfordshire and across the UK.
Our Values
At Bluestream Recruitment we are truly passionate about supporting Employers and Jobseekers through the recruitment process, ensuring a friendly, yet professional experience, which is always honest and transparent.

At Bluestream Recruitment we like to help and support our local business community on Harwell Campus by hosting HR related workshops and events, keeping employers up to date with the latest employment law and new initiatives.

We are also very passionate about supporting our local community here in South Oxfordshire. In the summer of 2014 we organised a Family Fun Day to inspire children of all ages by getting them involved with 'hands on activities' to get them to think about a career within the Engineering, Environmental, Scientific and Technical industries. It was an opportunity to bring together organisations and attracted around 1200 people, despite the rain. It was a wonderful day and we managed to raise money for Helen & Douglas House.
This event was so popular we did it again in the summer of 2016. With more hands-on activities and lots of fantastic support from a range of businesses, just over 2300 people attended and it was superb!
The Family fun day is now an annual event, so if you would like to support us, please get in touch, we would be delighted (see our news section for more info).

What do you love most about Ayurveda?
KB: I love that Ayurveda guides us to align with nature. When I began making changes consistent with Ayurveda, it felt natural and it made sense. I had spent a lot of time following modern fads and made plenty of choices, particularly around food, that didn't seem quite right nor feel that great. I immediately felt better when I applied Ayurvedic principles to my life. The first changes implemented were waking before sunrise and going to sleep before 10:00 p.m., having a regular morning spiritual practice, not napping during the day and cooking my food from fresh, whole ingredients. The change in my mental clarity was dramatic and I also welcomed the increased energy, clear skin and comfortable digestion.
I love that Ayurveda has solutions to any issue I can think of – it is truly an art. It supports us to be aware in our lives, so that we remember that we indeed are our own healers and can have great health on all levels.
KB: I was first introduced to Ayurveda at my Yoga teacher training in 2009 in India. We had a few lectures that didn't resonate with me, since they talked about Indian foods and herbs that I knew I couldn't find in Canada, where I lived at the time. I had a consultation with an Ayurvedic physician, but went back to Canada and did not apply a thing! I wanted a Yoga mentor to guide me to enhance my teaching and was referred to Myra Lewin and Hale Pule. I began working with her long distance in August 2009. In January 2010, I went to a silent retreat that she held on Maui. We had nine days of kitchadi and I was astounded at how my body and mind changed. I went back to Canada and began to follow the Ayurvedic principle of eating fresh, prana-filled food. I stopped using frozen, canned and pickled foods and cut out salads and kept feeling better and better. I continued to make changes to my diet and lifestyle as Myra suggested, and began to study Ayurveda more on my own. I went on to complete Dr. Frawley's Ayurvedic counselor certification program, began working with clients and, just last year, helped Myra create Hale Pule's 400-hour Ayurvedic Health Counselor Certification Program.
KB: I am inspired by clients who have the courage to make changes that are often different than the way people around them live and eat. I am inspired by the honesty that many bring forth into a consultation, which signifies that on some level they realize all of life is connected – our physical symptoms are not separate from our mental state, emotions and past experiences. I am inspired when they write to share the joy that comes from having symptoms fall away. I am inspired by their willingness to become who they are meant to be – vibrant, healthy individuals living life aligned with nature.
What are your favorite herbs?
KB: I like how choorna, powdered herbal blends, are formulated with a variety of herbs that work together to address the individual's unique state. I've been using choorna for a while, and adjust it regularly based on where I am at that point in time.
I just had a client who was amazed that Ayurveda had recommendations and herbs to assist her mental focus. She had been diagnosed as ADD/ADHD, but did not want to take medication so she had been dealing with it since she was a child. When a client is ready to make an energetic shift in the direction of great health, herbs support the subtle energies to take that step so the physical body can remember its natural functions.
What are your favorite Yoga asana poses to support health?
KB: I personally find surya namaskar, sun salutations, helpful. I've learned I cannot separate persistent physical symptoms from what goes on in my mind, and working with my breath and moving energy with surya namaskar clears, calms and focuses my mind so that it gets out of the way of my body's ability to heal. I also appreciate the balancing effect salabasana has on my digestive system.
Any asana practiced with consciousness and attention to the breath serves this purpose of connecting us to our innate intelligence, which assists us to make choices aligned with our best health. I enjoy helping clients find poses to begin or refine their daily asana practice. Even one pose per day, practiced with consciousness and breath, brings great healing to mind and, therefore, to the body.

The Book of Common Prayer as Proposed in 1928 : Including the Lessons for Matins and Evensong Throughout the Year Hardback
by Compilers
In the late 1920s, the Church of England was stunned when its first new prayer book since 1662 - a book that had received overwhelming support from bishops, clergy and laity alike - was rejected by the House of Commons.
It was almost another sixty years before a new prayer book was attempted and although many of its rites went on to appear in the 1984 Alternative Services Book (and continue today in Common Worship), to many Anglican minds, the 1928 Prayer Book is unsurpassed and it continues in demand, especially among Anglo-Catholics.
This facsimile edition will make available to students of liturgy and worship one of the finest written treasures of the Church of England.
Although unauthorized for use, this is a resource that many clergy will be glad to have.
This is not to be confused with the 1928 US Book of Common Prayer - the authorized prayer book of the Episcopal Church in America for over 50 years.

A Tenuous Link Between Digital Marketing and #CharlieHebdo
The tragic events in Paris this week brought the world to a standstill - but did digital marketers react as they should?
The tragic events in Paris this week brought the world to a standstill - but did digital marketers react as they should?
As I write this one day after the disgraceful massacre of content creators in Paris, it seems to me there really is just one subject for all of us so-called "influencers" in marketing, thought-leadership, content creation, and commentary. And that is not so much that our hearts go out to the families of murdered creatives, but that some violent simpletons figured the best response to content they didn't like was to go out and kill the creators. Never mind on whose behalf the murderers claimed to have performed it — no deity great or small can be successfully conflated with deadly, brutal inhumanity.
If you do not believe you, as a marketer, artist, tweeter, or communicator of any kind, are now rather more under personal threat than you were during the first part of the first week of the New Year, then pull up a chair. And if you do, then you may find yourself in agreement with what I am about to say.
For, much as I believe there is just one subject today, my Twitter feed tells me otherwise, and there's the rub.
Perhaps my feed is overripe with automated marketing messages, or maybe marketers imagine they must not step out of their personae, ever, else risk some kind of rift in the space-time-digital marketing continuum. Of course there are plenty of #jesuischarlie tags in my feed. And my personal observation is that, unlike where one might spuriously feel like they've done something useful by tweeting-for-a-cause, this time the subject is free expression, and therefore Twitter and all media (in fact) become the most appropriate venues for response to this outrage.
Therefore, why, on a day when you and your kind are under threat by idiots with automatic weapons (admittedly at several removes), are you tweeting me five ways to improve personalization? Is this really a day when anyone without a pillowcase over their head can be concerned with anything much else but evil doings in the City of Light? Will analytics prove you scored today with your landing page about cart-abandonment? It may, and therefore you may consider that your marketing plan — for today — is a good one.
I say it is not.
How smart is it to tweet onwards while thoughtful people the world over are consumed with not just grief but a justifiable lamentation that we are on the brink of some awful new type of censorship? Not by government, but by free-lance, deadly intimidation.
Picture yourself at your desk, trying to think of your next marketing hook. Naturally you are not drawing pictures of gods in drag or anything like that. But you cannot know who in this wide wonderful world might take offense at your pitch, or has taken offense by the company or cause you work for. Corporations can be targets, too. And these days, when social media makes every clown a potential ringmaster for a day, do you not at least squirm just a little at the thought of automatic weapons, pettiness, insanity, and the fact that twelve people employed in media were killed even as they were under armed guard?
Maybe the disregard evident in my Twitter feed is, after all, a healthy response. Maybe it makes sense to declare you're unafraid by simply being unafraid. Last night Jon Stewart began his show (The Daily Show) with a heartfelt response to the horrors, and then announced his own tenuous segue to a story about Nazi Cows. The upshot was, they were a nasty, aggressive breed and ended up in the sausage grinder just like all the rest. And it was funny.
Maybe it's giving too much to the killers to carp and cringe and tell everyone to be quiet just for a moment and contemplate what freedom really is, and how media of every kind is an artifact of same.
But today, it just does not feel that way.

Mark Crear is a double Olympic medalist in the 110 m hurdles. He captured global attention by winning the 1996 Olympic silver medal (Atlanta) with a broken arm and the 2000 Olympic bronze medal (Sydney) with a double hernia.
High hurdles and jumping through life's hoops are second nature to Mark. Before jumping any "hurdles" on the track, Mark had plenty of hurdles to jump off. Growing up in a single family home and being a victim of physical and emotional abuse, Crear early on knew that life was not fair and had plenty of reasons and excuses to quit and give up. However, "quitting" was not a part of Dr. Crear's DNA. Instead, Mark relied on faith and hard work to carry him from his life of abuse, abandonment, rejection and disappointments, to number one in the world. So it's not surprising why Dr. Crear is considered a symbol of strength, hard work and perseverance.
Born in San Francisco but raised in Southern California, young Mark graduated from Rowland High School and enrolled at Mt. San Antonio College. Upon graduating, Mark entered USC on a scholarship and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and captured the NCAA Championship Title in the 110-meter high hurdles. He enjoyed early success as a world-class track and field athlete, becoming a two-time Olympic medalist, reigning as the world's No. 1 110-meter high hurdler three times (1995, 1998, 1999), becoming a Goodwill Games champion in 1998, a U.S. outdoor national champion in 1994 and 1999, and a three-time World Grand Prix champion.
After his eventful athletic career, Mark applied what he learned on the track to a variety of disciplines, thereby reinventing himself several times over. As a dynamic motivational speaker, Mark founded In the Zone Performance Training, a consulting practice that helps companies, professionals and athletes overcome hurdles and improve their performance in the face of intense competition, pressure, fatigue and distraction.
In addition, Dr. Crear is also a published author, having penned his powerful and inspirational autobiography, "Why My Silver Is Gold." The book is about overcoming the inevitable hurdles that we face throughout life. His in-depth story will tug at the very strings of your emotions as he takes you through his life of abuse, abandonment, rejection and disappointments.
Most recently, Mark has co-authored the world renowned peak performance book, GPS, which he has partnered with Steven Covey, Brian Gray and Les Brown to create a collection of successful strategies for success.
Furthermore, Dr. Crear is an ordained minister who earned his Doctorate in Theology in 2002.
