Arts Workshops | Creative Worship | Teaching
Join us for the - Wide - Expansive - Life -
Please note the information on this page still relates to Faith and the Arts 2018, however dates are now confirmed for Faith and the Arts 2019: Please put 5 - 12 January 2019 in your diary and note the change of start/finish day to Saturday! Information will be updated for FATA 2019 during the year and the new 2019 event launched via our mailing list (join below) and Facebook.
Morning and Afternoon elective streams to choose from!
The Faith and the Arts Summer School is an inspiring and practical week-long residential arts program that runs in early January each year. It offers the chance to focus on a variety of creative art forms in the context of an enlivening and supportive Christian faith environment. The Summer School takes place in the unique and picturesque setting of the Poatina village community in Tasmania's heartland, nestled on the edge of the majestic Great Western Tiers.
Faith and the Arts is a celebration of life and the Great Creator; a chance for like-minded people to come together and give time and space to their own and each other's creativity. Suitable for any adult or mature teenager, it is perfect for anyone wanting to explore their creativity, develop artistic skill, or express themselves and/or their faith. This fun-filled week will also deepen your understanding and experience of creating with the Great Creator as we explore the creative process itself through daily gatherings of creative worship and interactive teaching. Participants can now choose more than one elective workshop to focus on for the week (20+ hours of elective workshop time), and whilst some artistic experience can be helpful, it is not required for most electives.
A Typical day at Faith and the Arts...
The day starts with a 'Morning Elective' line followed by morning tea, and then 'Gatherings' of creative worship and interactive teaching as a large group. Next is lunch, after which participants move into their 'Afternoon Elective' line for the rest of the afternoon. After dinner an optional 'Evenings' program takes place, being a relaxed and informal setting to hear presentations, performances and stories from various artists and leaders, mixed in with some fun and relaxing activities designed to provide some lighter entertainment and input at the end of the day.
The week culminates with a 'Celebration Showcase/Concert' on the Saturday night which provides an opportunity for participants to perform or present what they've been working on. An afternoon off is provided mid-week and a final Farewell Brunch on the Sunday morning is a great chance to eat some yummy food whilst sharing and reflecting on an amazing week.
New Format brings some Exciting New Possibilities...
As well as being able to choose more than one elective workshop to focus on for the week, participants can also choose to spend their Morning Elective line and/or Afternoon Elective line in Retreat Mode. Doing Retreat Mode instead of a taught elective means you can spend that elective time as you wish - either working on your own art form in a space we allocate to you, or by relaxing and being inspired by one of the many recreative opportunities that Poatina village offers. Those choosing Retreat Mode in the afternoons will have the further opportunity to participate in one or more of four stand-alone single afternoon electives that together make up an afternoon elective line called Mix It Up.
General Information
The Summer School has been running in a multi-discipline format since 2003 and prior to that as a painting and drawing summer school for many years. We are astounded at the increase in the calibre of leaders who teach from year to year, providing a program that is high quality, dynamic, practical and inspiring. Participants and leaders often return annually because FATA becomes a kind of extended family, providing fellowship and support for artists who are also Christian that can otherwise be difficult to find.
Elective disciplines offered each year vary, but typically can include Painting/Drawing; Music/Songwriting/Recording; Glass Blowing/Kiln Formed Glass; Dance; Poetry/Fiction Writing; Printmaking; Sculpture; Ceramics; Jewellery/Silversmithing; Photography; Stagecraft/ Visual Theatre/Drama; Video Production/Editing; and Retreat Mode. Please click on the Electives links on the left or above to read more details on electives currently being offered. All electives are subject to sufficient registrations being received to allow them to run and maximum group sizes. In the case of an elective being cancelled, participants will be informed prior to the event and enrolled in their second choice of elective.
Faith and the Arts is open to adults and mature teenagers. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult or guardian.
Registrations will open in late October via the link at the top and bottom of this page. Please check back regularly or ensure you have joined our mailing list (below) to receive up-to-date information on registration and electives being offered. Other practical details about the week, including costs and the venue, can be found in the FATA Details Tab in the Faith and the Arts menu above.
Faith and the Arts Summer School is facilitated by a small team of volunteers who are part of or connected to Poatina Arts - an arts collective and colony located in Poatina Village, Tasmania. Faith and the Arts, Poatina Arts and Poatina Village are all initiatives of Fusion Australia Ltd - a Christian youth and community organisation that has been operating in Australia for over 50 years. If you would like to to be part of the team that helps Faith and the Arts happen each year, please get in touch via the "contact us" tab above.

28 dead goats found in trunk of Kathmandu-bound bus
-, Kathmandu
Sep 22, 2017-
Authorities seized 28 dead goats hidden in a luggage compartment of a passenger bus at Nagdhunga in the Capital on Thursday.
The bus (Na 5 Kha 1683) had left from Janakpur with 41 goats stuffed inside the luggage compartment; 28 animals were found dead, though it was not immediately clear if they had died of suffocation, or they were already dead before they were crammed in the bus along with the live ones.
The authorities had been tipped-off about the bus travelling to Kathmandu, carrying a large number of goats meant to be supplied to Samim Pureshi, a goat seller at Kalanki's Khasibazaar, said Jeet Bahadur Gyawali of Nagdhunga Animal Quarantine.
The supplier of the goat has been identified as one Samer Mukeeri of Nepalgunj.
Supply of livestock, particularly goats, to Kathmandu Valley has increased ahead of the Dashain festival, and to ensure the animals are safe and healthy for consumption, the authorities have set up check posts at Nagdhunga, the busiest overland entry point to the Valley.
Besides, the authorities, in coordination with Kathmandu District Livestock Service Office, Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Nepal Food Corporation and Nepal Agricultural Council, are also conducting inspection of goat markets and abattoirs.
According to Gyawali, supply of diseased or dead livestock to the Valley was common ahead of the festival when the demand for meat is high.
Last month, the Animal Quarantine Office in Nagdhunga had confiscated 11 buffaloes, 14 goats, four pigs and 4,000 chickens that were dead, he added.
Consumers' rights activists have also raised concern over the alleged sale and supply of unhygienic meat products in Kathmandu Valley, particularly during the festive season.
Jyoti Baniya, president of Consumers' Rights Forum, said they had been relentlessly pushing the authorities to enforce stringent regulations to discourage unscrupulous traders and businesses from selling unhygienic products.
He added that the forum had also demanded the concerned authorities to immediately set up animal quarantine centres and checkpoints at other entry points of the Kathmandu Valley.
According to Animal Health and Livestock Service Act 1999, those found supplying meat products that are infected or dead animals could be fined up to Rs 5,000.
Consumers' rights activists are of the view that the legal consequences of selling unhygienic meat products are not strong enough to discourage the malpractice.
The authorities should not take public health for granted, Baniya said.

Today, on the Education Leader Podcast, I'm talking with Lily Sanabria-Hernandez, host of the Master Leadership Podcast, which helps leaders of all kind improve their skills and move forward when they feel stuck.
She's also a Master Cadre Trainer for the New York State Pyramid Model, a child development framework that helps young children identify their emotions, demonstrate empathy, and improve their social-emotional skills.
In our chat, we'll cover the fundamental leadership qualities that superintendents need, how to improve the skills you have, and how to move forward when you feel stuck.
If you're looking for practical advice on how to be a better leader in your district, then you're in the right place.
Topics covered:
- Background leading up to today
- How did you first get involved in Education?
- Leadership fundamentals
- What leadership qualities do superintendents and administrators need in order to be effective?
- Where do most Superintendents go wrong with their approaches to leadership?
- What is the most effective way for a busy Superintendent to start improving their leadership skills?
- Leveling up
- How can a leader best move forward when they feel stuck?
- What are some tools that superintendents can cultivate to keep advancing their leadership skills?
- Tying it together
- If listeners could walk away from this interview with just one lesson about leadership what would you want that to be?
- Where can listeners go to learn more?
Rapid-fire Questions:
- What do you spend too much time doing?
- What do you not spend enough time doing?
- What do you wish more people knew about your job?
- What emerging trends in education are you keeping an eye on?
- What are your thoughts on the impact of technology on education moving forward?
Where to learn more:
To hear more from Lily, tune into her podcast Master Leadership, where she shares the stories of exceptional leaders to help you go from "stuck" to "extraordinary." And if you want to contact Lily directly, listen to the episode for her email address.
Pat: Let's go back in time. How did you first get started in education?
Lily: So Pat, I would really love to tell you an inspirational story of how this happened, but the truth is, I graduated from Fordham University with a degree in communications. At that time, I couldn't find a good-paying job in that field. I began working in an insurance company. The pay was actually very good, but I'm a people-person, so that wasn't really a good fit.
My motivation really began one hot summer day. I was actually looking out of the window of my office, and I thought, "I need a job where I can get the summers off." That was my first time ever that I ever thought about teaching. So you know, I began to apply for jobs and luckily, it was a time where there was a teacher shortage. If you had a degree in anything, and you had a pulse, you could teach.
Certainly, it was a scary time to be a student, but for me, doors were opening. It turns out, I fell in love with the profession. I fell in love with the students, and I found my space. This was where I needed to be. So that's how I started.
Pat: Thanks. Thanks for sharing the brutally honest start-up story. You've heard, over the years, from a lot of amazing educational leaders on your podcast. What are the leadership qualities superintendents and administrators need to have, in your opinion, to be effective?
Lily: I want to speak to being an effective leader in education in general, right? So whether you're a superintendent, a principal, a director, an educator, or even a student, our field is actually full of very educated and experienced leaders, right? Some are effective, right? Because effective can be subjective. It depends on what you want done.
But some are effective because there's a culture that feeds their way of being. If there's a culture of hierarchy, then an autocratic leader will thrive, and they will be effective in that situation. In that case, they're in a position of leadership, but they don't necessarily know how to lead well, but their effective in that realm.
When I think of effectiveness, I think of a leader who is not only competent, but someone who values the people around them, someone who … and when I think about that, it's someone who's a good listener, someone who's visionary, not just for the group or for the organization, but for individuals. So they're compassionate. I think an important quality to have is someone who's secure in their own skin. Sometimes that may take work. Someone who trusts, someone who's self-aware and sees the importance of having like an inner circle of people, like coaches or mentors to speak into their lives.
So when I think of effectiveness, that to me, is an effective leader.
Pat: Value people, which is really important. Visionary, compassionate, secure. Secure, actually, that's a whole new realm. If you're experienced and confident in what you're doing, makes you secure in your skins, that is awesome.
Going back to the insecurities, where do you think most superintendents are in this case, leaders who go wrong in their approaches to leadership?
Lily: I think insecurity plagues a lot of us, right? As human beings. What's important here is that if you have insecurities and you decide to be a leader, then you need to deal with that before, because if you take that into leadership, you can hurt a lot of people. That space, being an insecure leader is very dangerous. That's why I wanted to really stress that.
But as far as where leadership can go wrong in my experience? Most leaders in education go wrong when we choose to stop growing. Now, most of us understand how important it is to continue to grow, like cognitively, right? So we're veracious readers, and we sometimes even become prideful about how intelligent we are, or how much we've learned, or what courses we've taken, or even the letters behind our name. I want to honor that because it takes a lot of perseverance to get there. I don't want to diminish that at all. I think that's incredibly important, especially as educators.
However, not a lot of time is devoted to social-emotional development. That's what true leadership is. Unfortunately, what happens is we develop cognitively, but we don't develop socially-emotionally. You have these adults that are like kids in a sandbox. It's incredible to watch. You start rubbing your eyes thinking, "What the heck happened here? These are really smart people." But that's where we can go wrong as leaders.
Pat: I want to dig a little bit deeper here and understand. Most of our audience are principals and superintendents, right? Everybody wants to be a good leader. If you ask somebody, nobody's going to tell you, "Hey, I don't want to be a good leader."
Lily: Yeah, "I want to suck at leadership."
Pat: Yeah. So where I want to take you back, is since you've been there, done that course for a lot of leaders, what is the most effective way for a busy … say a superintendent or a principal … to start improving their leadership skills?
Lily: So Pat, I think what you're doing is incredibly important, right? You're providing a service. To me, it's listening to podcasts on leadership like this one, right? My podcast, Master Leadership podcasts. I created it for this very reason, because it eliminates the excuse of no time. Anybody can learn to grow their leadership on their way to work, on their way from work, while you're working out, while you're cooking, changing diapers, you know. I mean, a lot of things you can do.
Also, read. Read about effective leaders, and if you don't have time to read, then we can always subscribe to an audio service. On of the new things that I'm introducing to education are Mastermind groups. It's not a book club, but we're learning around a particular book, or information that we all want to learn about. We all kind of chime in and help each other to grow.
So a Mastermind group is a wonderful way to grow, and you can do it virtually. You can join a group that fits your schedule. One of the most important things to me is to find a coach, a coach who will speak into your life. This is fairly new in education. I know, in my educational leadership courses, we really don't talk about coaching. But to find someone who's on your side who can ask you the questions to move you forward, who can hold you accountable, is incredibly important.
We'll always be busy, but not taking the time to do this will keep us spinning our wheels, right? What this does is it can have a devastating effect on the people we lead. So there's a cost here. There's a cost to not doing it.
Pat: You mentioned a lot of points here. Just to touch up on them, listening to podcasts, reading, Mastermind group, having a coach or a mentor. Where I see a common thread in all of this, is the first step is to acknowledge the fact that you need to grow. You need to keep learning. The desire has to come from within, that I want to improve as a leader. Once you make the first step, I think these are the resources that are available to get there, right?
Lily: Absolutely. You have to be intentional. Yes.
Pat: Every superintendent today has those moments when their usual approaches aren't working, right? They feel like, "Hey, I've been trying this for a while. It's not working. My principals don't listen to me. My board wants too much out of me." How can a leader best move forward when they really feel stuck in what they're doing?
Lily: I'm very familiar with that feeling. From my experience, I can only speak from there, right? We can't move from being stuck unless we see the damage that being stuck does. Sometimes we don't even see that we're stuck. We're just … and even if we do, sometimes there's fear to move forward.
In my experience, it's seeing the damage that being stuck does, or what it's preventing me from doing. My growth, the growth of others. After we see that, then there has to be … and you mentioned this … there has to be an intentionality about growing. Again, moving from stuck to the possible, getting a coach, joining a Mastermind group, this is … to us, as leaders … taking responsibility, right?
There's a quote, "Everything rises and falls on leadership," by John Maxwell. To me, that's a … a leader has to take responsibility and get the help they need, right? I've also observed that whatever baggage or issues we have, we bring to the table, affects relationships, but when we choose to lead and we don't address those issues, then it's devastating to the people we lead, and the organizations we lead.
So that's why I'm so passionate about this lane, the leadership, because I believe that everything rises and falls on leadership. I believe that the people before us, the most important people, our students, our future. It's important that we look at this, and really give it the attention it deserves.
Pat: I want to go back a little bit. We touched upon coach, and mentor, and Mastermind groups earlier. I want to think about it from a perspective of a leader, and let's say, a superintendent or a principal. They live a pretty lonely life in the sense that it gets lonely on the top. They can't share so much of their burden to their peers.
At that point, coming from their perspective, how do I go about picking a coach or a mentor, or picking a Mastermind group. If you can walk us through that path.
Lily: It's interesting that you said it gets lonely at the top because when I think about a leader who says that, or I think about someone who feels that way, typically it's because they've not developed the relationships. Because it shouldn't be lonely at the top. You should be bringing people along with you. In order to trust, to have a culture of trust, you have to cultivate trust.
I would really look for someone who can coach in this realm to help you move forward. It doesn't have to be someone you know. On my website, I have a list of coaches who can certainly speak into that. Certainly, find a coach from whether it's the outside, so that you can help connect to the people that you lead. That's a sign that something's gone awry when you feel like it's lonely at the top. That's where the responsibility falls on you.
If you want to move forward from that space … I may be rambling, Pat, but …
Pat: No, no. You're spot on because a lot of people, a lot of leaders at the top, they feel that they can't turn to anybody. They feel they can't share all their problems with their board. They feel that they cannot share all aspects of their challenges for the principals who are below them. That's what … they have this feeling of being lonely, which like you rightly said, it does not have to be lonely. You can build this whole ecosystem around helping you get to the next level, and that's what podcasts like yours really helps in getting the message out, and telling them there are like-minded people out there whom they can connect and network with.
Lily: If that's going on, then I would question, "How have I cultivated this?" And then get help because if you don't trust people, and if we're not vulnerable as leaders … there's some fear that we're not facing, and if we don't do that, how do we expect the people that we lead to do the same?
It's incredibly important. If this is you, if you're lonely at the top, then something needs to be done right away. So I would urge you. Look on my website, find a coach. Start there.
Pat: Now, let me go back a little bit on your experience here with the pyramid model which you've been working with. In your experience, how has the pyramid model been a helpful tool for child development?
Lily: The pyramid model is about developing social-emotional skills for children, right? Really from birth to five. Now, you're thinking, "How can I develop that from birth?" Well, we work with parents. We work with the staff. If we're able to teach this well, then everything else becomes easier. Everything else becomes … it becomes easier to learn. It becomes easier to connect. My experience has been, too, that when we teach these skills with the pyramid model, the staff also, they lift their leadership skills, or their social-emotional skills as well. So it's a win-win for everybody.
Pat: I just want to take a minute here to talk about our main sponsor today, PikMyKid. Today, you know how there's absolute chaos in every school at the end of the day at 2:30 p.m., right? Kids getting into cars, buses, traffic jams snaking around school neighborhoods, pedestrians walking all over. What really takes a back seat to all of this is the safety of our children.
In today's day and age, with the technology we have, we expect our teachers to manage all this chaos using walkie-talkies, clipboards, sticky notes, and loud hailers when out in the sun, rain, when they actually should be in the classroom planning for the next day's class. What PikMyKid does, it provides a comprehensive set of tools to manage all aspects of school safety. They have real-time parent notification system, panic-button feature in case of in-school emergencies, visitor management, absentee management, and a complete set of tools for the dismissal part of it.
Parents, on the other hand, can actually manage the pick-up of their children, including delegations, absentee notifications wired to PikMyKid applications right on their phone. They also receive real-time push notifications when their child gets in the car, walks home, or gets in a bus. I think PikMyKid is currently in hundreds of school across 25 states. They are in a pretty rapid growth-path now. What do you think?
Lily: You know what, I told you before we started, I actually love what PikMyKid does because I've experienced situations where I'm a director of a school and the school system didn't have … they had some protocol, but they weren't equipped. I think what this does is extremely useful. You have to give credit where it's due. PikMyKids is doing something right. The safety of our kids is incredibly important, and then I can teach. Once I know they're secure and safe …
I know as a leader, I'm thinking, first thing is safety, and once I think that's in place, and if I can give it to some organization like PikMyKid, then I don't have to think about that, because you guys are doing it right.
Pat: Thanks for weighing in on those thoughts.
What do you think the superintendents need to keep in mind when considering the needs of their special education students?
Lily: One of the things that's extremely important is they remember diversity, that every child is different, and every child has different needs. Even if you have a child with a specific disability, it doesn't mean that … and you've read everything about that disability, doesn't mean that that child will fit in that box. So that's very important to remember.
Also, that parents are extremely important in this process. You know, they can be … and most of them are … can be great partners. They know their child best, so listening to parents is extremely important. I think one of the most important things to understand is, how you go as a leader is how the community goes.
If you have issues with diversity, then that's how your community's going to go. If you really work on it, and you see how important it is, then your community's going to go that way as well.
Pat: That is awesome.
So you've hosted a hundred-some podcasts. If you can share with us, what really stood out with that experience of the last few years you've been doing this. What did it teach you, and how did it improve you as a leader?
Lily: I created Master Leadership podcast because I saw the need for all of us to grow. One of the biggest things I've seen is how we've … I continue to grow. I continue to ask questions, and so I grow. So the guests, the listeners, we all grow collectively. That also opens doors to other possibilities. If I'm bringing a guest on who has read a book, or has listened, or has a specific quote that speaks to our listeners, then that person's going to grow.
What I'm learning, too, is that there's no limit to growing leadership, right? There's no limit to that, so that's certainly what I've learned and what I continue to learn.
Pat: So to tie it all together, if listeners could walk away from this interview with three top lessons about leadership, what would you want that to be?
Lily: We need to always be intentional about growing in our leadership. We never arrive. Even though there are some people that are more natural leaders, if that's not cultivated, these leaders can cause calamity. So to me, if I can leave a message, it would be, be intentional about growth in leadership. That doesn't mean that just because you have a certification and leadership that you've arrived. It means that you have a certification. You've completes some things.
There's so many things that we can learn. It's opening our possibilities, opening our eyes, opening our heart, opening our will, to how we can grow in this area. Because if we do that, Pat, then the future … think about our kids. We would have developed these skills in our students where they can become amazing leaders. Not only that, they can choose amazing leaders to run our country. They can choose amazing leaders to run our organizations. They know what great leaders look like.
When I look at leadership and where we've gone, I always have to ask myself, "What's my responsibility here?" That's another take-away that, as leaders, we should be asking no matter what the circumstances, we should be asking … not blaming, because we can always point fingers, and we can always complain, right? I have to catch myself from complaining … but asking, "Okay, so this has gone awry. What's my responsibility here?"
That's part of the reason why I started my podcast because I asked myself, "What's my responsibility here? What can I do about it?"
Pat: So before we wrap up, we like to ask all our guests a few rapid-fire questions? The questions will be quick, but the responses don't have to be.
Lily: Okay.
Pat: All right? So the first one is what do you currently spend too much time doing?
Lily: That's easy. Editing. Oh my goodness. You know. You know about this. My mom would certainly be proud that I'm finally using the communication skills I learned, though, you know? I edit all my work, and I love it because I get to really re-listen to my guests, but it does take a lot of my time.
Pat: A lot of time.
Lily: Yeah.
Pat: So what do you not spend enough time doing?
Lily: Time with my son, but it's because he's a teenager now, and he prefers spending time with his friends.
Pat: What do you wish more people knew about your job?
Lily: How grateful I am to be able to serve them, and how important it is that we collectively grow in leadership and education.
Pat: What are the emerging trends in education that you are keeping an eye for?
Lily: Trends in education. So, trends in education, they come and go. That's been my experience. Currently what we're watching is how privately operated schools, like charter schools, may receive more support than public schools, right? We're watching, also, this shift in states having more control of education. We're also watching how common core is losing its steam, and how communities are standing up for less testing of our students.
What I want us to do is to disrupt how traditional leadership shows up in education. The question I would ask, the question I would contemplate is, what if we see the importance of teaching leadership skills to our staff and students, right? I wonder, right? If they would lead themselves better, if they would invite others to speak into their lives, if they would make better choices, if they would grow their influence.
In this situation, you also address bullying and low self-esteem. You're creating a lifelong learner. That's the trend I'm intentional about supporting.
Pat: What's your thoughts on impact of technology in education moving forward?
Lily: Technology is here. We can't roll it back. It is what it is. There are some pros and cons. I think we need to use the technology to move forward. I know for me, I have to learn the technology. My son's on the iPhone, I ask him what apps are you using? Again, we can complain, right? And yeah, we can think about the glory days, but those glory days are gone. We have to move forward and create new glory days.
They can teach us a whole lot more, too. There's so much to learn. I tend to love technology, except when it doesn't work.
Pat: That's funny. So that was great, Lily. Thanks for sharing that, and if listeners want to hear more from you, what is the best way for them to reach out to you?
Lily: They could certainly tap into the podcast, which is Master Leadership podcast. It's featured on iTunes, Google Play, iHeartRadio. They can find it on my website as well at masterleadership360.com. If they want to shoot me an email, it's [REDACTED].
Pat: Again, I just want to say thank you so much for your time today. It as great being able to pick your brain. And I'm sure the listeners would have gotten a lot out of it, like I said. Thanks again.
Lily: Pat, I really want to thank you for this opportunity. It's not very often that people ask me questions, so I welcome that. I also get to be in the shoes of my guests. I feel the nervousness, but the excitement as well. I want to honor you because what you're doing is extremely important. I think PikMyKids as well, is extremely important. So keep up the good work, Pat.
Pat: Thank you, Lily. I appreciate the time today.
Lily: You're welcome.

I am trying to use the Apex solenoid to fill up my atomatic top off reservoir. I would like to program the solenoid to be open for X amount of time and then turn off. To kick off the refill (open solenoid), I will have an Apex optical sensor at the bottom of the ATO reservor and once the water level goes below the sensor, it will open up the solenoid to start refilling for X amount of time. Obviously, I will need to know how long to leave the solenoid open to fill up my reservior and then turn off. As a backup, I will have a float valve on the top of the ATO reservior to manually shut off the flow from the RODI.
My main question is will this work? Also, can I program the solenoid to only be open for X amount of time?

Thursday morning's low temperature of 53 was a bit cooler than the past few mornings but today will continue to be warm at 77 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Don't expect thunderstorms and low temperatures from the front that will brush through Florida Friday night and Saturday, according the National Weather Service.
The brunt of the weather system will be felt well north of Florida. In Alachua County, the chance of precipitation is estimated at 20 percent Friday night and 20 percent on Saturday.
And there won't much "cold" in the cold front. The weather service forecasts the low Friday night at 57 degrees and the high Saturday at 77. But it'll be windy, with gusts of up to 30 mph.
On Saturday night look for a low of 53. Sunday will follow with sunny skies and a high of 81.

This spring, a group of five Palo Alto College theatre arts students traveled to Mobile, Alabama to attend the Southeastern Theatre Conference Convention (STCC). The convention's job fair and professional workshops help young, up-and-coming theatre artisans to find work at summer theaters across the country—providing them the opportunity to learn new skills, work with professionals, and gain experience while still finishing their degrees.
"It's important they understand theater as a wider art form across the country and why it's important no matter where they're at. They can bring that knowledge back to our community, so that we can keep growing San Antonio as an up-and-coming art community," said Mandy Goynes, adjunct instructor and technical director for Teatro Palo Alto, who accompanied the students to STCC. "For them to bring that knowledge back here, I don't think you can even put a price on how important that is for them individually and for our program."
The five students hit the ground running on day one of the conference, attending the job fair and workshops. They went through a mock-interview assessment and learned resume building and proper etiquette, which prepared them to apply for jobs with the theater companies in attendance. Within a week of the convention, four of the five students received and accepted job offers—an 80 percent success rate:
"The benefit of attending the conference is the chance to talk to different companies to learn what they do and what they want," said Delgado, a Palo Alto College theater arts and business administration student. "To have this job opportunity in New York is amazing. I'm excited for it because it's going to help me with the skillset that I need and help me prepare for other jobs in the professional world."
Teatro Palo Alto is growing in size and skill, and Goynes said sending students to STCC and to work at theaters across the country will help the program grow even more.
"The theater program at Palo Alto College is really opening doors. We're a newer program, and it's so exciting to keep growing," said Goynes. "Sending these students out into the real world and taking them to the conference is one way of showing just how much we've grown as a program."
Those interested in joining or supporting Teatro Palo Alto can contact Hector Garza, drama instructor, at 210-486-3209.

Two weeks ago I accomplished something I had never done before: I roller skated. I know you are thinking, "you are a grown man and just learning how to roller skate?" That's right for all my 30+ years of life I've never successfully roller skated.
I had tried a couple times before but ended up flat on my butt. Even one year at campmeeting, the youth tried to get me out there but even with two people helping me, still fell down. And after one fall, I was done. Well my wife took me a couple weeks ago and she was determined that I was going to learn (when my wife is determined about something, it's going to happen!)
So we went to the skating rink and she gave me some pointers. The dj gave me some pointers. People along the railing gave me some pointers. The great news is for the hour plus we were out there I didn't fall. Not only that I got a nice little rhythm and grove going. (This in no way guarantees I'll be able to discover this grove easily the next time).
But while going around I noticed a few young children doing what I did my first few times – they fell and they kept falling. I mean they were just taking spills all over the rink. Honestly if I were them, I'd be sitting on the sidelines after the first couple trips to the floor watching everyone else. But I learned something from them. No they didn't become great skaters that night however I have a suspicion they'll be pretty good one day. Why – because their initial difficulty hasn't stopped them from keeping at it.
I think they helped me understand the secret to staying young. Have you met some really young old people and really old young people? I mean older people who stay young, stay current, embrace change and technology etc and then younger people who can't stand change, are afraid of new things and opportunities.
Maybe we start getting old when we start being afraid of falling down. Afraid of endeavoring to learn something new because of the growing pains. Afraid of picking up a new hobby because we'll lose or look clumsy the first time. Afraid of grabbing that new opportunity because it'll take us out our comfort zone.
Well here's the bottom line – we can either sit on the sidelines and lament the world passing us by or get in the rink, fall a few times and keep getting up and stay forever young!

Sri Lanka sent reinforcements through a hail of mortar fire today to try to save an army base with 1,200 troops that rebels said they had captured.
Fighting at the base, which controls much of the northeast coast, is among the fiercest in the 13-year civil war with ethnic Tamil rebels and has re-established the Tamil Tiger guerrillas as a military and political force.
Warships were ferrying hundreds of infantrymen to join commandos flown in earlier by helicopter to end the five-day siege at Mullaitivu camp. The military said about 300 soldiers had died but that it had not lost the base.
Just two months ago, the military expelled rebels from the Jaffna Peninsula, where they had run a virtually autonomous state for years.
Fighting raged throughout the day on the beach near Mullaitivu.
The guerrillas, in a statement from their London office, said they were in complete control of the base. "Our fighters have surrounded the reinforcements, and are pounding them with mortar fire," the statement said.Continue reading the main story

In answer to What we are Doing about Global Warming from the last post---Please take a few seconds right now to sign this petition! There are already over 50,000 people that have signed the petition from ONE asking the Senate to make sure that a portion of the money from the climate bill goes toward helping the poorest people in the world deal with the effects of climate change. Add you voice too!
Because climate change disproportionately affects the poor, as noted by the United Nations Development Programme: "While climate change is a global phenomenon, its negative impacts are more severely felt by poor people and poor countries. They are more vulnerable because of their high dependence on natural resources,and their limited capacity to cope with climate variability and extremes."
The Senate could significantly help reduce the disastrous effects of climate change for the poorest people in the world by contributing just 5% of the income generated by climate change legislation to poor countries.

Supermarket Sarah was delighted to be invited, by Wieden Kennedy London to create an interactive window display for The Clothes Club. All money raised goes towards Saint Josephs Hospice.
Sarah Says, "I love the idea of clothes having a story and breathing new life into old clothes and I wanted to communicate this. Swathes of painted canvas drape down from the three walls behind the window to create a sculptural backdrop of peachy pink, pastel yellow and minty green while colour matching clothes are suspended from the ceiling. A suspended chair and other props make up the backdrop to create a feeling of the clothes having a life of their own and flying in the air. The feeling is of the excitement of Spring/Summer on its way".
Thank you for all the donations! Amazing assistance from Mischa Solovei
Team Wieden Kennedy and Emily De Groot, Founder of Clothes Club.
Brands featured include New Look TK Maxx and Zara.
You can see the window until My 19th at W+K London

Perfect Survey for VNA Hospice!
June 2014
Congratulations to VNA of Cape Cod Hospice for their perfect DPH survey!
The VNA of Cape Cod Hospice recently experienced its unannounced recertification survey conducted by the Department of Public Health (DPH). The survey, which occurs every 6 years, covers all aspects of regulations specifically related to hospice home care. There are approximately 100 standards that need to be met in order to renew our certification.
Over a 3 day period, 2 surveyors engaged in on-site visits in consenting patient's homes, reviewed policies and records, and interviewed staff and volunteers. The surveyors were extremely complimentary about the care the VNA hospice staff provides to our hospice patients and families.
Based on the surveyors' review, VNA hospice was found to be in compliance with ALL applicable rules and regulations for hospice providers.


text: So now that it's getting cold outside I can't keep the window right next to the tank wide open like I normally do. I've noticed my PH dropping A LOT. Before it would never drop below 8.01 at night and now it's going down to a new record last night, 7.66 Would running the air intake line on my RS80 up to the window actually make any difference? Do you think it would be worth the effort?

'As a woman on the Council, I am appalled at the broad statements Mr. Kerwin made' -- City Councilor Diane Gibson
City Councilor Diane Gibson has denounced a claim by Sam Kerwin, a 22-year-old City Council candidate, that "currently, [the Council is] a bunch of old guys, and they have a bunch of old, outdated ideas."
"As a woman on the Council, I am appalled at the broad statements Mr. Kerwin made about the makeup of the City Council," Gibson said of the apparent Trump-ism by Kerwin, a University of New Mexico student who, if elected would be the youngest Albuquerque city councilor in history.
" Clearly he has not paid attention to who we are, working every day for our constituents. I'm proud of my record of elevating the issue of pay inequity with the Pay Equity Reporting Ordinance that requires all city vendors to report their gaps in pay according to gender and offering incentives to close their gaps, and legislation focused on economic development around the Winrock area. None of that has been done by an old man on the Council," she said.
Kerwin's statement was reported by KRQE-TV Channel 13 earlier this week.
Along with Republican Hess Yntema, Kerwin and Pat Davis, executive director of ProgressNowNM.org, are vying to replace retiring City Councilor Rey Garduno in October's City Council election. The seat represents District 6, which includes the Nob Hill, the University of New Mexico area and Southeast Heights.
"District 6 deserves someone who isn't going to spend four years making offensive Trump-style statements for media attention," Davis said.

Donna was rear-ended on Second St. in El Cajon, California and received injuries. She did not know what to do. She contacted my office and I immediately retained her and helped her in her journey. She needed medical care and good medical doctors too. I helped her with that as well. Sometimes an injury client needs help with their medical care. At times an injured person does not have their own private health insurance and they do not know where to turn for medical help. A good injury lawyer will help their injured client with this. Donna received good medical care and we were able to settle her case without the need of a lawsuit, which is not always the case. However, here, I was able to negotiate with the insurance company for fair value. Donna was also kind enough to share her experiences with my law office in this testimonial video.

An enterprising newspaper reporter once confronted the late-British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan about what was the most important factor in dictating how he governed.
"Events, dear boy. Events," Macmillan deadpanned.
Truer words are rarely spoken.
Many argue that Hurricane Katrina was the beginning of the end for the Bush Administration. Of course, it was September 11th that gave President Bush the direction he needed. President Clinton never really found his mojo until Republicans seized control of Congress in 1995. A series of blizzards flattened Chicago in the late 1970s. The crippling storms became synonymous with the ineffective administration of Mayor Michael Bilandic. Jane Byrne unseated Bilandic in 1979. And many believe that the Iranian hostage crisis amplified perceptions of President Carter's weakness.
Events, dictating political fortune.
Two, major "events" are pressing against the body politic now: the oil spill near the Gulf Coast and last weekend's failed car bomb in Times Square. And the chattering class is chirping about similarities between these events and Hurricane Katrina, Three Mile Island, terrorist sleeper cells and Guantanamo Bay.
Democrats control the White House and both chambers of Congress. The Obama Administration and Congressional Democrats are on tenterhooks. Could the public somehow pin blame on them for either the oil spill or Times Square? After all, "they're" in charge here. Meantime, Republicans are nimbly dissecting both events for possible Democratic vulnerabilities. However, Republicans know they can't push too hard. Otherwise, the public could perceive them as opportunists. The GOP needs to show restraint. After all, it appears a terrorist attack was averted and police have a the primary suspect in custody.
So official Washington lithely gauges both scenarios for gain or peril. Both parties are haunted by six, cryptic words: "Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job." Democrats want no Michael Browns. And Republicans are practically begging for one.
"I think the Republicans are going to carp about whatever is done frankly," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD). "And that's their responsibility from their perspective. Particularly in this political year."
After the Times Square incident, some Republicans immediately began to query if police read suspect Faisal Shahzad his Miranda rights.
"If someone acts like a terrorist and cooperates with people intent on war against the United States, they should be treated as terrorists and not as a common criminal" said Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). "They should not be read their Miranda rights."
"This is a U.S. citizen, arrested on U.S. soil, subject to the constitutional protections and constraints of every U.S. citizen," countered Hoyer. "I think this is pretty-well settled law."
But that didn't stop Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) to team with Reps. Jason Altmire (D-PA) and Charlie Dent (R-PA) from introducing a bill to revoke the citizenship of Americans who assist foreign terror organizations.
"Those who join such groups join our enemy and should be deprived of the rights and privileges of U.S. citizenship," Lieberman said in a statement.
There are now questions about how an FBI surveillance team lost track of Shahzad and why he was able to board a plane bound for Dubai after being placed on the government's no-fly list. In fact, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) asserted that the Obama Administration was only working to outwit the terrorists "in spurts."
"There are many in this town who will focus on (terrorism) only as long as the media covers it," Cantor said.
Republicans augmented their thesis by seizing on Democratic assertions that the country was "lucky" to have averted disaster in Times Square.
"In this case we were fortunate. In the Timothy McVeigh case, we weren't," said Hoyer, referring to the man responsible for the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, OK. "You've got to do everything you possibly can and then pray you get also lucky."
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) took issue with the Lady Luck defense.
"We have been lucky. But luck is not an effective strategy for fighting terrorism," Boehner said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tried to clamp down on GOP suggestions that Obama Administration caught a break.
"Oh please," sighed the speaker when a reporter asked her about the 'luck' defense. "The harder we work, the luckier we get. I think that's probably the point. I don't think anybody accused them of being lucky when the Millennium plot was foiled now ten years ago.
Certainly there are legitimate questions to be asked about errors that Shahzad to nearly escape. But Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) took particular aim at those who attempt to exploit the near-calamity for political benefit.
"Anyone who has talked to our counter-terrorism and military personnel knows these men and women are not just 'lucky,' they are very good at what they do," said Reed.
Detecting the political nuances of the oil spill are even more subtle than the foiled Times Square plot.
Earlier in the week, Pelosi argued that despite the rig explosion, it was still essential for Congress to approve an energy and climate measure. Boehner used the occasion to say that the U.S. should advocate an "all of the above" strategy, where it comprehensively mines all energy sources.
But there were hints that the politics of the oil spill could become partisan as well.
Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA), who chairs the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, hinted at what he thought of BP after executives briefed lawmakers behind closed doors Tuesday.
"BP is now known as British Petroleum," Markey said. He then said that if the leak isn't shut off soon "it will be known as Bayou Polluter."
Markey and other lawmakers plan a hearing next week to investigate what went wrong on the rig. And the Massachusetts Democrat underscored the divide between some Democrats skeptical of "big oil" and Republicans leery of "environmentalists."
"There is going to be a blistering, scalding indictment of the practices the industry was engaged in," Markey said.
Then the GOP challenged Markey.
"We cannot allow the environmental left to exploit this tragedy," said House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-IN).
Meantime, Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX), who visited the oil spill Friday, expressed concern about the role of the Obama administration in the disaster. He wants to know about the involvement of the Interior Department before the April explosion.
"That too is going to be a part of our investigation," Burgess said. "I'm disappointed that no one from the administration is scheduled to be at our hearing."
Pence joined Burgess in his criticism of how the federal government handled the accident.
"People deserve to know why the administration was slow to respond," said Pence.
But Pence and Burgess didn't seem to sing from the same hymnal as Boehner on who to blame.
"I don't think we have all of the answers of what happened," said Boehner, noting that he wanted to learn more "before we start to point fingers and play the typical Washington game."
And Democrats like Steny Hoyer, defended the Obama Administration. He said the government responded "decisively and quickly."
So political fates are hinged to two, major events. But in both cases, Democrats and Republicans are trying to seize both episodes. Democrats want to calm already rattled voters. And Republicans are trying to cast doubt, if not incite alarm.
In both cases, both parties are guilty of some spin.
Harold Macmillan was right. Events do influence government. But I would add some thing to Macmillan's dictum. "Spin, dear boy. Spin." After all, it's the spin applied to those events that ultimately determines if they were a political success. Or a fiasco.

Through randomly picking a class to fulfill a credit for my major, I ended up in JOMC 463 this semester. It's a class in the Reese News Lab here at UNC. We're trying to come up with new ideas for a real-world client, The Fayetteville Observer, who came to my professor, John Clark, with three challenges they are facing. We're brainstorming now, but will eventually be researching and creating new media products that we'll pitch to the Observer in a few months.
I never thought of myself as an innovator. So I never gave what innovation is, what it takes, or what the purpose of it is much thought.
I just got done with a paper for News Lab on the innovator's dilemma and disruptive innovation, both which are ideas from Clayton Christensen. You should read what those are here rather than me trying to explain it. If you'd rather not, here's my short synopsis:
– It's hard for top firms in an industry to survive when disruptive innovation occurs.
– That's because it often doesn't make sense for the most established companies to invest in these disruptive innovations.
– These innovations, rather than being breakthrough improvements that make a product better, make a product cheaper and more accessible to more people.
Firms are stuck in the innovator's dilemma when they are faced with the question that is: Should we keep making products that are better for our current customers and earn us higher profits or make lower-quality products that our customers wouldn't buy and make us less money?
As a journalism student trying to figure out this evolving world of journalism and communication, understanding this dilemma has led me to further understand what's going on in the media industry right now.
I have often been frustrated in asking: Why can't traditional news outlets just change? Why can't they adapt? Why can't they transition into the digital world?
It's because the smart businessperson might say "no" to this transition in the moment.
There are possible solutions to solving the dilemma. Christensen suggests establishing a branch or side-company within the established company so that the disruptive innovation can come from within. That way, a team of people can focus on new markets and not be distracted by preserving current customers or current revenue streams.
But, as James Allworth argues Steve Jobs did, there is another way to solve the dilemma. It is switching the motivating factor of a company from "profit to passion." It is focusing on creating products with the most value to the customer first.
This has to happen if the established news organizations we all love want to stay around. Journalists are some of the most passionate people I know and admire, but can often be resistant to change. As much as I respect the moral code of journalism that can often make news organizations feel like something other than businesses, that is what they are and must be to survive. When the top priority is what is best for the customer rather than what makes the most money, the dilemma fades.
That means listening to the audience that you rely on and that relies on you. That means not being afraid to accept, and even strive for, disruption.

braided bread, breakfast braid, chevre, cream cheese & olive, enriched bread dough, fresh herbs with bread, herbed goat cheese, King Arthur flour
I am guessing you have encountered a sweet braid in your time: they're impressive to look at, decadently filled with cream cheese and fruit, or nutella, or jam– and even more fun to eat. But have you ever encountered a savory braid? I hadn't, and in mid-December I began experimenting, hoping to find an accompaniment to the pork roast I was planning to make for Christmas dinner. My braid dough of choice is an enriched dough, with butter, eggs and extra dairy; it wasn't a hard adaptation to leave out some sugar and switch the yogurt for sour cream to send it away from breakfast and toward dinner. (Not that you couldn't eat savory bread for breakfast… but we'll get there.) I absolutely love working with this dough: it is soft and pliant, fragrant, a lovely golden yellow color and it rolls out like a dream. My method for the savory braid includes an overnight proof in the refrigerator, which means you have to plan a little in advance, but don't have to spend an entire day waiting for and tending to your dough. I really couldn't be happier with how the recipe responded to my changes.
This recipe will make two full-size loaves. That's a good amount of bread! Luckily, the dough freezes very well, though I will note that thawed dough turned out a crisper finished product than fresh. I actually liked the crisp edges quite a bit. For the fillings, I am sharing two set to my liking but infinitely adaptable to suit yours. The first is made with soft goat cheese and herbs, a mix of fresh and dried. The chevre, when baked, becomes slightly grainy in texture; I didn't mind, but my husband noticed right away. If you don't care for the tang or texture of goat cheese, substitute an equal amount of cream cheese. For the herb blend, the mix I used represents the mix I found I liked best with goat cheese; any soft herbs like basil, oregano, parsley, thyme, dill, even mint, could be used in tandem. If you have only dried herbs, use any of those mentioned above, a total of about 2-3 tsp. to begin. My second filling was inspired by a sandwich filling I used to eat with my Grampa, which always makes me think of 1970's canapes: cream cheese and olive! Don't knock it 'til you try it– the blend of briny, salty olives, bright dill and lemon, and cream cheese is one of my favorite comfort foods. Each filling recipe below is enough for one braid. If one looks particularly good, just double the recipe to fill both braids. In addition to changing the herbs, you could add crumbled cooked bacon to the chevre filling, or roasted red peppers to the cream cheese & olive. Try adding a few slices of prosciutto under either filling, or some quickly-sauteed sliced mushrooms. As long as you don't radically alter the proportion of filling to dough– have fun playing!
To serve, slice warm or room temperature savory braid cross-wise into thin slices. I also like the cream cheese & olive bread straight from the refrigerator; it reminds me of the sandwiches I mentioned above. A savory braid goes well with just about any entree with which you would serve bread. Getting back to the idea of savory braid for breakfast: one of my favorite ways to eat it, especially the chevre and herb-filled bread, is lightly warmed or toasted with soft scrambled eggs alongside, or on top. So good! I really can't stress what a dream dough this is to make, and the braiding process is one of those "looks harder than it is" kitchen tasks that is sure to wow your friends and family. In the winter I love baking bread to warm up the house– if you need another excuse to give it a try! That said, I promise the flavor of your savory braid, regardless of which filling you choose, is reason enough.
Savory Braid (adapted from King Arthur Flour; makes 2 loaves)
For the sponge:
- 3/4 c. warm water
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 T. instant yeast
- 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
For the bread:
- all of the sponge
- 3/4 c. sour cream, at room temperature
- 8 T. unsalted butter, softened, cut into small pieces
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp. kosher salt
- 4 – 5 c. flour
For the herbed goat cheese filling:
- 4 oz. soft goat cheese (chevre), at room temperature
- 2 T. sour cream
- 2 T. fresh basil
- 2 T. fresh parsley
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1/2 tsp. dried dill
- kosher salt & black pepper to taste
For the cream cheese & olive filling:
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 T. unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 c. pitted green Spanish-style olives, with or without pimientos, roughly chopped
- 1 T. fresh dill, minced
- 1 tsp. lemon zest
- freshly ground pepper
- kosher salt to taste (optional, depends on olives)
Day 1: Start by making the sponge. In a medium glass or ceramic bowl, mix all four ingredients; cover loosely and place in a warm spot to proof for about 15 mins.
To the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, add the sponge (which should be bubbling gently and fragrant like warm bread), sour cream, butter, eggs, salt and 4 c. flour. Starting on low speed, let the mixer run until most of the flour is incorporated. You can move the speed up to about medium once the dough is starting to come together; mix for about 5 mins. total. Assess whether the dough is very sticky: it should be forming a rough ball around the dough hook, but should also be firm enough to handle without most of it sticking to your hands. I needed to add another 1/2 c. flour to make the dough smooth enough, and you might need as much as 1 c. extra; proceed slowly, as you don't want to overcompensate and add too much. When you have a springy, soft ball that you can handle easily but looks smooth, and fills the imprint out when you press your thumb lightly into the dough and move it away, it is ready. Add a small amount of oil to a glass or ceramic bowl at least three times larger than your dough ball; run the dough around the bottom of the bowl to coat it in oil, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and move to the refrigerator. Allow the braid dough to rest overnight; it should at least double in size.
Day 2: Make the filling(s) you plan to use. Each is simply a put-everything-in-the-bowl, stir and taste kind of deal. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and cover two sheet pans with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into two even pieces. Prepare a bread board by sprinkling a large cutting board, clean counter surface or wooden board lightly with flour. Roll your first dough piece into a rectangle, a little less than 1/2″ thick. The dimensions are less important than the shape; King Arthur recommends 10″ x 15″ if that is helpful. When you have one rectangle ready, dollop one filling recipe down the center, from one short end to the other, leaving about 1/2″ margin at each end. Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, cut diagonally into the exposed dough on one side of the filling, from just outside the filling to and through the edge. Repeat, spacing your cuts out so your resulting strips of dough are 1″ thick and matching the angle of the previous cut, until you reach the bottom. Repeat on the other side, making sure you create the same number of cuts on each side. Refer to the picture above for an example of filling placement and diagonal cuts.
Working from the top down, start by folding the margin of dough you left at the top over the filling to seal the end. Now start to braid! Place the top cut piece, on either side, over the filling, pulling over and down very slightly to ensure a tight fit. Then, the corresponding piece on the opposite side comes up and over your first piece of dough, also at a slightly downward angle. Repeat this, alternating sides, until all pieces are "braided". You will have some overflow dough at the bottom; just roll this up toward the filling and pinch to seal. Your braid will look like this:
You can see that each strip slightly overlaps the one before and above it, and the sides are uniform. I found that a little filling showing through was okay, but too much caused a mess in the oven, so try to cover most of the filling neatly. This is a forgiving dough, and it doesn't need to be perfect. Work deliberately and I bet it will turn out beautifully.
At this point, you can repeat the process to make a second braid, or wrap the remaining dough ball carefully and place it in a freezer-safe container or bag. The dough will keep in the freezer for at least 6 weeks. Thaw completely at room temperature, until the dough no longer feels cold, before beginning the braid process.
Place your shaped braids on parchment-lined baking sheets and cover each loosely with a cotton towel. Allow the braids to rest in a warm area for about 45 mins. Bake the rested braids for 25-30 mins., until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped. You can very gently pry apart a thick spot in your braid to ensure all layers are cooked. Cool for at least 30 mins. before slicing to serve.

Thin-Skinned and Scared of Sunshine
Yesterday, while looking around the web, I came across this post in the Washington Free Beacon, telling how one of their reporters was booted out of a US State Department briefing in Vienna. From the Free Beacon article:
Two State Department officials booted theFree Beacon from a room where Wendy Sherman, the undersecretary of state for political affairs, was talking to reporters, despite the Free Beacon's being credentialed by the Austrian government for the ongoing Iranian nuclear talks.
There are more details at the link.
Could it be this kind of story that the State Department is afraid that the Washington Free Beacon would publish? The Washington Free Beacon is not one of the Obama Administration's lapdogs, and frequently publishes articles that are less than flattering of the State Department. As far as I can tell, the WFB is merely reporting factual information.
John Kerry and the US Department of State, I think, know that any deal they make with Iran is going to be torn apart by anyone with half a brain. Booting a reporter from a briefing is just one more example pettiness and thin skin of the Executive Branch. The sunshine of the truth will burn those making the nuclear deal with the Ayatollah. I say let it burn, and kudos to the Free Beacon.

Robbie is showing more interest in his big boy underpants and less interest in hitting his sister in the head. He is showing greater affection for Winnie the Pooh and less interest in Caillou, a happy trade in my book.
Both kids are sleeping better, thanks to separating them at naptime (Ellie -> pack & play in our bedroom) and sneaking Robbie into his bed after Ellie has fallen asleep at night in her bed.
Madeline's new favorite thing to do is talk, with great expression in her eyebrows and inflection in her voice. It makes us all stop what we are doing and babble like idiots at her. It's glorious.
We are headed to the lake house soon. I'm desperate enough to get there and enjoy the atmosphere there that the thought of packing us all up for a weekend, driving 3 hours each way and chancing restless nights and naps with the kids is no longer a deterrent. I really hope it's worth it! I'm breaking my personal no-donuts rule the minute Tom's comes into view. Hello, vacation (sort of).
I am content most days to swap out Starbucks lattes with my own homemade hazelnut Dunkin Donuts coffee here at home. This is big. And very convenient. Not to mention so much cheaper.
The absence of tempting weeknight tv sitcoms has made way for nights that end with reading in bed. This is easily one of my favorite things ever.
During the power outage last week, all the food in our fridge spoiled. After tossing what went bad (and getting over my sadness that a yummy fruit tart from Whole Foods met its demise on my watch - how did I forget that was in there!?) I decided to go with a more minimalist approach to the things we keep on hand in the fridge. I'm loving the fact that when I need something I can find it easily, and can put away leftovers without having to rearrange everything to make room. How does a fridge get so cluttered? Also, disinfected shelves and drawers? Yes, please.
