Ok, I know I am a whole 3 weeks late on this subject but I had to post about the biggest tug of war! I wanted to finish posting about California before I finally moved back to the Oki posts. Anyway, we were excited to have been able to experience such a special event here in Okinawa. I was still super jet lagged because the event happened the weekend I got back from California, that, and it was so hot. My body had adjusted to California dry heat so coming back to the humidity was KILLER. Nonetheless I was really happy to be part of the experience.
There was about 275,000 attendants this year! It really did not seem like there was so many people at the time but looking back at the photos it makes sense. We could definitely feel the excitement running through everyone when we were passing by them in the street and we could see it in their faces. When we saw the rope we were not expecting it to be that big! I mean obviously we kind of had an idea because we read somewhere that 15,000+ people participate in the actual tug of war but . CRAZY! Just take a look at the rope and this is only one side!
The rope was registered as the largest rope made of rice straw in 1995 and was again cited in 1997. The rope at the time was 200 meters long and weighed 43 tons! I would not be able to saw how much this rope weighed or how long it was but it was definitely huge!
We got there right when the parade was ending, bummer I know. But it was great to see some of it. I really wish I could understand what they were saying though.
Although the parade did not have translators, where we were, the event itself did. It was nice to hear it in English but I want to learn Japanese and quit complaining about no translation. This is their country and island and we should be the ones able to understand them, not the other way around. Anyway! The event itself was really exciting!
My favorite picture. I love when Danny captures moments like this!
Just a fore warning, they say the event starts at 11am, thats actually when the parade starts. The actual tug of war did not start until 3:30pm, it might have even been 4pm. It was so cool hearing the rope being pulled though! We could actually hear the rope dragging; Since it was so heavy we thought it would take forever to move but the force that everyone had moved it right away. The excitement from everyone was actually really fun to witness too. We could feel the excitement every time the rope would inch closer and closer to the other side.
There were men with whistles on top of the rope telling everyone to pull and to stop. Since there are two sides of the rope they have to be interlocked in the middle. The process was actually really intricate, they would pull one way and then the other way since they had to interlock it perfectly.
Parts of the rope were actually falling apart because of all the pulling. But it is said that taking a part of it home will bring luck to you.
This event was a really fun one to experience but the Okinawens do it for a purpose. The purpose of the tug-of-war as a means for thanksgiving and to pray for abundant harvest and rain. It is a tradition for them and has been for over 500 years, to be a little part of this even was really cool. It was just really nice to see how excited and festive the natives are to do this and as a visitor on their island it was cool to help them celebrate this important event. The only thing I wish I would've been prepared for was the weather and how much the jet lag took a toll on me. We actually did not stay to witness the end due to how physically exhausted I was. The celebrations do not stop when the rope is tied together, there is more to do. Unfortunately, I was not able to witness and be part of the ending of the celebrations. Fortunately, we have 2 more to go to and stay to the end, for now I apologize for the abrupt ending.
We definitely had a great time and are blessed enough to say that we were able to experience such an event. Next year we will be sticking it till the end. Some tips for anyone out there interested in the event. Parking is going to be hard to find, getting there early is a must. There is so much to do a walks away in Kokusai Street and the parade starts there! We actually found parking in the street about 20 feet away from the end of the event. Super convenient! Wear light clothing and a hat, it may be October but it is still hot and humid! Other than that it's an amazing experience! Thank you all for tuning in to our adventure. Please feel free to leave any questions and comments. Thanks!

Gen Kayihura's last moments in police
- Written by Sadab Kitatta Kaaya
At about 8:15pm on Saturday, March 3, all police units received a radio message from Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura, announcing new appointments and transfers of senior officers.
A man many in the opposition identify as the regime's top hatchet man driven by a single-minded determination to crush their legitimate political activity was signalling the end to a most controversial 12 years at the helm of the police.
The message advised that more appointments and transfers would follow. Less than 24 hours later, Gen Kayihura was relieved of his duties and replaced by long-serving career officer, the amiable and scholarly John Martins Okoth Ochola, 60.
President Museveni announced the sacking of Kayihura and Security minister Lt Gen Henry Tumukunde in a media release posted on his official social media platforms. It now turns out that Kayihura was given very short advance notice that he was out although he still met one-on-one with the principal before.
Knowledgeable sources intimate that he only learnt of his sacking hours to the time. Tumukunde, on the other hand, had reportedly been informed about a month ago.
It is understood that Museveni met with him and said that much as he appreciated what Tumukunde was doing, it was better for both to be retired in order to maintain a balance since his activities had created the impression of a fight with Kayihura.
"Sacking Kayihura and leaving Tumukunde would worsen the animosity between the two, since Kayihura would look at it as a defeat on his side," the source said.
Museveni is also reported to have told Tumukunde that he would bounce back to cabinet in the next cabinet reshuffle while Kayihura may be sent to school abroad. The reported Museveni-Kayihura meeting is said to have happened at State Lodge Nakasero on the same day he lost his job.
Sources say the president had summoned his police chief for a briefing about running investigations into last week's shock murder of Susan Magara, three weeks after the 28-year-old girl from a wealthy and politically well-connected family was kidnapped.
The briefing was reportedly also attended by investigators handling the case, according to sources. It is said that Museveni was rather fed up with the unhealthy fights between Kayihura and Tumukunde, blamed for the deteriorating security situation.
Their misunderstandings had become a regular topic of discussion in the National Security Council (NSC) that Museveni chairs. In one NCS meeting, Museveni asked the two army generals why they continued to fight in public yet they could resolve their differences under the NSC.
These differences were discussed in the NSC after the January 19 arrest of gang leader Abdallah Kitatta and his Boda Boda 2010 accomplices. The matter was also discussed in cabinet. While Tumukunde has on several occasions spoken openly about their misunderstandings, it is a subject that Kayihura has avoided.
When he appeared before parliament's Appointments committee in September 2017 after Museveni renewed his contract, Kayihura denied there was a feud. Tumukunde had a week earlier expressed reservations about a Kayihura retention in light of increased serious crime across the country.
The two are reported to have fallen out in 2005 after Kayihura, a few months before his first appointment as IGP, oversaw Tumukunde's arrest on charges of abuse of office and spreading harmful propaganda.
About two weeks ago, Kayihura wondered in an interview why Tumukunde had taken it personal.
"I was only a military assistant to the president [then]; you can't say that I am the one who arrested him. It was a group of people who were directed to carry out the arrest, he can't therefore rightfully accuse me of arresting him," Kayihura said.
The soldiers that arrested Tumukunde included Kayihura, Maj Geoffrey Kyambadde and Maj Gen James Mugira.
Ever since Tumukunde became security minister, the police chief has increasingly appeared to be under pressure.
He leaves at a time the public image of his police is in ruins; reviled for its brutality against regime opponents and civilians, and widely ridiculed as unprofessional and heavily infiltrated by extortionists, murderers and all manner of violent criminals.
Tumukunde turned the screws, pointing out how amidst widespread human rights violations the police under Kayihura were not up to the job.
And then something stunning happened early last year. In the early morning of March 17, 2017, former police spokesman Assistant Inspector General of Police Andrew Felix Kaweesi left a pregnant wife and members of his adoring family at home.
His Toyota Prado TX had only travelled a very short distance from the gate before coming to a cold stop in a hail of bullets fired by hit-men riding on motorcycles. Kaweesi perished alongside his driver and bodyguard. It is said that the killers made sure all three were dead by pumping several more bullets into the bodies.
According to sources, Museveni is not happy with how police went about the Kaweesi murder investigation, especially when parallel investigations by other security agencies are pointing at the possibility of an internal hit job.
Kayihura is also blamed for the delayed closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera project in the face of spiralling criminality in Kampala. Last month, the media was awash with reports that Museveni had ordered Kayihura to sack the police's director for ICT Amos Ngabirano because of his role in the CCTV procurement and parliament security system fiascos.
Government reportedly lost over Shs 450bn meant for security systems at parliament. A full body scanner was set up in the Speaker's chambers on the 6th floor of Parliamentary buildings instead of at the main entrance after it was discovered to be defective, according to security sources.
In a February 20 interview, Kayihura denied any wrongdoing in the procurement of parliament's security system.
"My role was at the initial stage; we were getting threats from some terror groups on parliament. I got an opportunity to address the Parliamentary Commission and advised them to invest in security technologies to back up the manual systems," Kayihura said.
"It was their project which was implemented by a joint inter-agency technical team," he said.
Weeks after the 2016 election, a security report detailing the nature and unclear activities of the so-called 'crime preventers' was handed to Museveni. The gist was that this was an irregular network of millions of police informers clandestinely assembled by the police chief to advance his unstated political ambitions.
Kayihura's reported attempts to clarify the issue with State House never quite passed muster. At this point, the clock started ticking …

This qualitative project aimed to explore how becoming a mother affected the lives of young women and their families. As the social context for both young people and motherhood changed, there was a clear need to identify the experiences and needs of young mothers (aged under 25 years at the birth of their first child).
This project also sought to find out about the types of support young mothers received, from both family and friends and from formal services that designed to assist them, and aimed to find out what made it hard for young mothers to use services and how this could be improved.

How landscape designers can Save You Time, Stress, and Money.

India Culture Center (ICC) and India House (IH) are two of the most unique Indo-American community organizations in the Metropolitan Houston Area. These are the only two organizations that represent all of India, not just any one particular region of India. In addition, IHI has also extended its mission to serve the needs of the main stream Greater Houston Area communities.
As most long- term Houstonians know, the establishment of an Indo-American Community Center had been one of the primary goals of ICC. It was enshrined in its constitution and bylaws since 1973, the year of its creation. In relentless pursuit of this goal, and after many years of ups and downs, finally in the year 2000, ICC purchased the land on which the current India House Building stands. However, due to ICC's many other community activities and for practical and economic reasons, an independent organization, India House Inc. (IHI), had to be formed in July 2002, for the express purpose of building and running the India House Building. As a result, ICC officially transferred the land title to IHI in July 2003 and the India House Building Project took off.
As usually happens during any structural changes in organizations, ICC and IHI had to work out the details about their mutual continuing relationship. This generated a certain amount of tension between the two organizations, during the initial period of transition. But slowly and surely, the spirit of partnership began to take hold.
On January 26, 2005, IH and ICC jointly organized a major event of groundbreaking for the India House Building and the 55th anniversary of India's Republic Day, an annual signature event of ICC. However, this noble effort of joint celebrations remained somewhat lukewarm for years, although the leaders in both the organizations continued their efforts to forge a lasting unity. Fortunately, the initial difficulties were amicably resolved and a final Agreement was signed between the two organizations in 2011. Since then, the two entities have been consistently taking steps to forge a solid partnership and are NOW actively working hand-in-hand in carrying out most community service activities. In this regard, it is heartwarming to note the following additional concrete actions:
• ICC now has an office in the India House Building.
• ICC holds its monthly meetings at the India House Building.
• The Annual Diwali functions are being held jointly by ICC and IHI in the India House Building. The most recent such highly successful joint Diwali Celebration, with cultural program and dinner, was held on November 1, 205
• Along with other major Houston Area Organizations, India House Inc. (IHI), is also now one of the Partnering Organizations of ICC.
• IHI leaders are actively participating in ICC's major functions such as Celebration of India's Independence Day and Republic Day, every year.
• Likewise, ICC leaders are also actively participating in IHI events such as India House Annual Gala, Flag Hoisting Ceremony on India's Independence Day, Hosting the visits of various dignitaries, to name a few events.
• When requested, ICC always provides a free booth to IHI during its signature events, currently held at the new Stafford Civic Center.
• Several of the IHI leaders have received ICC's Community Service Awards.
• Space permitting, almost all of the ICC functions are now held in the India House Building.
• For the present, ICC's two annual signature events—Celebration of India's Independence Day (India Fest) and India's Republic Day (India Fair) cannot be held in the India House Building, due to the unavailability of large indoor area required by ICC for these two functions. However, it is fervently hoped that as India House Building's future expansion plans materialize, these two functions will also shift to the India House Building.
In this spirit of continuing cooperation and coordination, I envision that the current and future leaderships of both ICC and IHI will continue to get together to expand their partnership, with the following goals in mind:
• ICC should, always hold all its functions and conduct all its activities at the India House Building and/or grounds, whenever possible, and nowhere else.
• ICC and IHI leadership should always make it a point to actively participate, both financially and physically, in each other's functions such as India's Independence Day and Republic Day Celebrations, the Annual India House Gala event, etc.
• IHI should count on, and receive ICC's manpower support in promoting and executing all its functions and activities.
• All the Board and Council Members of India House, Inc. should also become paying members of ICC. Correspondingly, all the Board Members and Trustees of ICC should provide financial support to IHI during India House Gala and by becoming the IHI's Council Members, and Board Members, if possible.
• Both the organizations should cosponsor as many community events as possible.
• The Greater Houston area indo-American community should feel that both the organizations are working hand-in-glove with each other to provide better service to the community.
• The goal of both the organizations should be to unite the community by pooling the resources of all major Indo-American organizations for the common good and common purpose.
• Both the organizations should be in the forefront in coordinating responses to major disasters locally and internationally. The money collected by individual organization should not be advertised as individual contributions, but collective community contributions.
• Although it appears far-fetched at this time, it is not hard to imagine and accept that ICC's soul lives in the body of the India House Building. Perhaps, due to the realization of this concept of the spirit of cooperation and understanding, some of the leaders in both the organizations have privately expressed their wishful desires that the two organizations should ultimately merge.

Providing security with Integrity Bouncing back from a rough patch requires integrity, but for Claudia Coetzer, it became the key focus on her business, Integrity Control Systems (ICS). Applying her inner qualities of determination, faith and passion, she launched ICS and has never looked back. Her customers, she says, reside across all market verticals, being that they are any organisation that faces risk related problems like theft, fraud, unauthorised access, security breaches, asset verification and tracking. "Our focus is on security, traceability and identification, through the marketing and distribution of integrity monitoring enablers. Our solutions are designed to deliver or enhance security and include security seals, bags, labels, totes, tags and the like, to help to mitigate problems. We deliver peace of mind by creating chains of custody, allowing customers to identify the point of liability, especially when multiple hands are involved in the value chain." Claudia points out that crime will always exist, and is, in fact, becoming more sophisticated and more prolific. Therefore, customers will always have a need for asset protection and asset identification. She suggests that ICS sets itself apart through its passionate, highly engaged leadership and the carefully crafted supply experience it delivers. Industry-specific sales channels are managed by dedicated staff who share their prowess to solve problems effectively. "Ultimately, our goal is to be the supplier of choice in this niche sector, with a national and African footprint. A key part of our growth strategy is to find a reputable BEE partner, as the right partner in this regard will enable us to grow the business considerably," she concludes.

Task & Issue Tracking In Action
Fill out your information below and we'll send you a video demo of GeniePad in which you'll see how you can benefit from tracking tasks and issues in your association!
Your information is confidential and we won't share it with anyone.
Keep track of all the work that has to be completed around your property. Assign tasks to the right person and keep track of the status.
GeniePad is a great web based communication and informational tool for condo associations. It's secure, efficient and most of all easy to use. In today's high tech / informational world, there is such a disconnect within a community such as a condo. GeniePad helps bring that sense of community back in a fun easy to use way. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to solve these challenges.
Are you finding it hard to keep track of the status of each task? Are you keeping extra notes of the dates and conversations you had with vendors, contractors, or maintenance staff? With GeniePad you can add notes to each task. This will help you with remembering everything that happened as well as keep the board or council and property manager in the know. Once a task is completed, simply check it off and it will be archived for historical purposes!
Would you like a simple way to assign tasks to the proper person, like a property manager, board or council member, or other staff? When you create a task in GeniePad you have an option to assign a task to a specific person as well as specify a due date. This will ensure that the task is completed in a timely fashion.
Have you forgot to complete a task before the next meeting or a due date? GeniePad will help you with this! Once you create a task you will be automatically reminded 1 week and 3 days before a task is due. No need to track this yourself any longer. Let us take some work of your hands!
Need to create a paper copy of your completed and not completed tasks? You can create a report of your tasks, print them out, or copy and paste into a document. Great if you don't have a computer or an internet connection during your meetings or if you would like to add them to your minutes. PS. You can use tasks to create an agenda and your minutes :)
People like simplicity and effectiveness of it. We already have a lot of problems easy resolved just by having GeniePad.
Excellent work!
Thank you very much

Ph.D., M.A., The University of New Hampshire; B.A., Boston University
Born in Hawai'i, I learned to walk while aboard a sailboat, which may be why my research and teaching interests revolve around the sea and the maritime world. Being an Air Force kid, I have lived in a few different states from Texas to Maine, giving me a plain Jane accent and a thorough love for the four seasons, although as an avid hockey player and snowshoer winter is clearly my favorite time of year. Academic tourism is a great benefit of being a historian, with my most recent project taking me from London to Halifax, Nova Scotia to New Bedford, MA to conduct research in sometimes dusty, sometimes state-of-the-art archives. Once I received my PhD from UNH in 2006, I began a tenure-track position at SUNY - Oneonta, where I stayed for 5 years until being hired by Emmanuel College. At Emmanuel, I teach courses in Atlantic History, Early America and Slavery. Pirates also appear frequently in ourse materials.
What I Love About Emmanuel:
Emmanuel is a tight-knit community with a positive vibe and whose members believe anything is possible. Virtually every member of our community buys into the mission of the college: believing strongly in social justice and educating the entire person by adhering to the centuries old Catholic intellectual tradition, which means no topic, subject or research is off-limits. We are a true liberal arts college with an open and diverse population who want to explore ideas and have conversations about how to make our world a better place.

I specialize in Atlantic history, with an emphasis on race, class and slavery, the Age of Revolutions, and even dabble in New England history as it relates to the larger Atlantic world. My current projects include a co-edited book, Atlantic Biographies: Individuals and Peoples in the Atlantic World (Meuwese & Fortin) will be published by Brill Academic Press in the fall 2013. My next book project, "Paul Cuffe: Yeoman," takes a new look at the life of America's most celebrated and successful black sea captain, Paul Cuffe (1759-1817), as he traveled the Atlantic world building his shipping business and attempting to found an independent colony for free blacks in West Africa.

BRITANNICUS, son of the Roman emperor Claudius by his third wife Messallina, was born probably A.D. 41. He was originally called Claudius Tiberius Germanicus, and received the name Britannicus from the senate on account of the conquest made in Britain about the time of his birth. Till 48, the date of his mother's execution, he was looked upon as the heir presumptive; but Agrippina, the new wife of Claudius, soon persuaded the feeble emperor to adopt Lucius Domitius, known later as Nero, her son by a previous marriage. After the accession of Nero, Agrippina, by playing on his fears, induced him to poison Britannicus at a banquet (A.D. 55). A golden statue of the young prince was set up by the emperor Titus. Britannicus is the subject of a tragedy by Racine. Tacitus, Annals, xii. 25, 41, xiii. 14-16; Suetonius, Nero, 33; Dio Cassius lx. 32, 34; works quoted under NERD.End of Article: BRITANNICUS

A home in Bear Creek Township was destroyed Monday after it was set ablaze by a bolt of lightning from a passing storm.
Dean Williams, the owner of the two-story residence with an attached garage, located at 160 Mishe-Mokwa Drive off Powell Road, was the only one home when the incident occurred around 11 p.m.
He was able to safely exit the structure with his dog before firefighters arrived.
Al Welsheimer, chief of the Resort-Bear Creek Fire Department, said he and his men were immediately dispatched to the scene, along with the Petoskey Department of Public Safety and Harbor Springs Fire Department.
For nearly four hours, firefighters from each department battled the blaze at the home, using 16,000 gallons of water, but were unable to save the structure

November is flying by as fast as a monster truck. I know this because Hunter is still deep in the throws of his obsession with monster trucks, especially fast ones.
Lee has a couple of Tamiya RC cars, which have been accompanying us on our walks to the park. Even though together they drive like a drunk it is seriously adorable to see my two guys, with their matching concentration faces (tongue poking out), sharing the remote controller- Daddy on the forward and back and Hunter on the left and right toggle sticks.
When Hunter needs a bit of chill out time, he asks to watch monster trucks, which means we trawl YouTube for monster truck jump compilations. And watch them again, and again, and again.
At a recent trip to the oppshop I found Hunter a monster truck toy that drives forward and backwards. Needless to say he loves it. The first night he had it, I had to tuck it in to "bed" on the cushion of his reading chair. When he woke me up the next morning he was crying because he couldn't pull the truck through the cot bars, but didn't want to let the truck go.
Late yesterday afternoon Lee decided to move "ManLand" around, and after his bedtime bath Hunter decided to help him. I could hear them shifting the workbenches around and talking about what each of the tools was used for. I looked in a little while later to find ManLand in complete disarray, planks of wood leaning on every surface, the two of them building ramps (or "big hills" as Hunter said) for racing toy cars and trucks.
This morning Hunter greeted me with a smile and the words "big hill!". So today we are back in ManLand, racing cars down the planks again.
There are worse ways to spend a gloomy Sunday.

In spring 2015, Mandi Lunan and Auntie Loo's Treats – Ottawa's first vegan bakery – seemed to be on top of the world.
They had sold out of treats during a wildly successful Veg Fest in early June, they had held a successful vegan brunch pop up, and had secured wider distribution than anyone ever could have imagined. The bakery had just introduced vegan macarons using aquafaba, which was all the rage, and people were going wild for them.
Then on June 19, seemingly out of the blue, Auntie Loo's Treats announced that it was closing the next day via a message on Facebook. The vegan and foodie communities in Ottawa were left reeling.
Ali Pester is one customer who was shocked. "On a more personal level, I knew it would really change the Ottawa vegan scene and the presence of veganism in our community at large and my own relationship with the city. It was such a well-known establishment and most of my non-vegan friends, who wouldn't have regularly made the decision to choose a cruelty-free treat, loved Auntie Loo's and credited it for being delicious and accessible vegan food," Pester says.
Pester had discovered the bakery as a new vegan at the age of 17. "I ventured to Auntie Loo's to try my first vegan baked good. Not only was Mandi so kind and helpful to me when she found out I had decided to go vegan, but her food was amazing and helped me to really believe that veganism was something I could do for the rest of my life."
I learned about the bakery closing when Mandi called me, asking for help with her written statement. On the heels of the death of ZenKitchen, I was crushed. I knew it couldn't compare to what Mandi or her staff were experiencing though.
After the announcement was posted, speculation swiftly followed. Many wondered if they had not supported the bakery enough. Others questioned the seemingly explosive growth of the previous couple of years. There was plenty of snark, but there was also a tremendous sense of loss (to read my post on it, including the statement issued on social media, click here).
Mandi Lunan promptly disappeared from public view, keeping in touch with only her family and a small handful of people. She felt humiliated, and couldn't bear to face anyone.
"Devastated is not a strong enough word for how I felt," she told me recently. "The hardest part was disappointing and letting down everyone who had trusted and believed in me, but I own my mistakes. The demise of the business was no one's fault but my own, and I'm still trying to forgive myself for it."
So, what happened? How could a business that appeared to be thriving close its doors so suddenly?
The accidental entrepreneur
Mandi Lunan became a bakery owner almost by accident. Upon first becoming vegan in 2000, she was disappointed by the lack of edible vegan options.
"When I moved to Ottawa in 2002, I began baking rich tasty goodies for friends and roomies," she says. "Then co-workers started giving me money to cook vegan meals and treats for the week for them. Then I got roped into a craft show. The response was massive. I realized I had a business on my hands."
Punk music promoter Shawn Scallen made it his personal mission to get Lunan up and selling desserts in Ottawa, and finally after beginning by wholesaling to a few local health food stores, Lunan was able to open her first location on Bronson Avenue.
"After a few years of craft sales, business school, personal orders and being incubated (when you use a city approved facility to produce your product), I opened my first location on Bronson Ave in 2009. It was one of my favorite memories and accomplishments, and was years in the making!" Lunan says. The business continued growing; Farm Boy became a point of sale, followed by Aramark and Algonquin Food Services. For a period Auntie Loo's Treats were available at Second Cup cafes.
When the producers of Donut Showdown called from the Food Network and invited Lunan to audition, she could hardly believe it. "Something so small I did for fun became an internationally known brand. I was thrilled," she says.
The Ottawa vegan community was also thrilled to see one of its own not only gaining so much prominence, but also providing much-needed vegan options. Michael Schnier was one of them. "It was just three blocks north of my old apartment in Sandy Hill, and I was sad to see it go," says Schnier, who runs the @YOWVeggies Twitter account. "In my experience, omnivore bakeries, cafes, pubs, and restaurants can be very good at accommodating vegan customers, but I have given up on reading desert menus. I'm not sure if I have ever been to a non-vegetarian sit down restaurant that had a single desert option I could order."
But Auntie Loo's filled that void. "What Auntie Loo's offered was variety. Sweet and savoury scones, half a dozen different flavours of cupcakes all with perfect icing, and pizza rolls made with Daiya," Schnier says.
By 2013 the bakery was juggling huge clients, so Lunan decided to move and expand the bakery to accommodate the growing demand. It opened on Nelson Avenue in Fall 2013.
It should have been the business' critical next step to success.
Death by a thousand cuts
The move did not go as planned.
"I hired all the wrong people for the construction and underestimated the permit process with the city of Ottawa," Lunan says. Construction dragged on for months. Managing the day to day of the business and trying to build the new space ran her ragged.
She admits to struggling with mental illness her whole life, and says that the added stress took her out. "I wasn't sleeping, having nightmares and panic attacks, and just generally burning out. I should have asked for more help, but I was proud and didn't. This was my first mistake."
With the bakery finally up and running, it seemed like Lunan and her team were in the home stretch. But the trauma lingered. Lunan couldn't get it together.
"I was so burnt out I didn't prepare for finances properly. I was overwhelmed," she says.
Lunan was once again kicked while already down; in June 2014 she had a bicycle accident, shattering her right leg between her knee and ankle. She endured nine hours of surgery and the insertion of multiple metal plates, and given a recovery time of one year. She would be unable to walk for the first 4 to 6 of those months.
But the world wasn't finished with her. "Upon calling my insurance, I was I informed that I wasn't covered for loss of labour for myself. The burden fell to my staff and family. I was exhausted and again, didn't ask for help," she says.
Knock out punch
After half a year of of being almost entirely unable to work, Lunan attempted to return to manage the business.
"Upon my return, the business was in financial turmoil due to me being physically unable to do my job. I ignored all the warning signs and continued to avoid the financial issues. I had no fight left, I was too burnt out."
For my part, I sensed that all was not right. She was kind and pleasant as always, but I could sense there was an edge. But when asked, she insisted she was fine. On the surface everything seemed great.
In June 2015, she says the Canada Revenue Agency called and told her that everything she had now belonged to them; accounts, space, outstanding payments clients owed her, everything.
"I was devastated and had no choice but to abruptly close my business. In not paying attention to my self care, in not asking for help, in not addressing the issues head on and making hard decisions, I had let down everyone. My staff who had trusted me for their livelihood, my family, and my customers," Lunan says.
Rock Bottom
Lunan had realized that she had nowhere to turn, and no way to salvage the business. She had let things become too far gone, and the dream was over.
On June 18, she had shared adorable photos of a resident squirrel to the bakery's Facebook, to the delight of customers. On June 19, she announced the business closing, and on June 20, the last Auntie Loo's treats were sold.
And with that, the deafening noise in Mandi's head was silenced. There was nothing left.
"I fell apart. My father came and got me to stay with them in their tiny hamlet in Prince Edward County until I was better. I was so despondent I had to be supervised and was not even allowed to drive a car. I pulled away from everyone and everything. Turned off my phone, deleted my social media, deleted my email," she says.
Her partner took her to France for a few weeks in August, and her profound sadness persisted. "Though I enjoyed the experience, I was deeply sad during the trip too, and couldn't hide it. That's when I knew I was truly heartbroken- you have to be pretty fucked up to be sad in France!"
Upon her return, she went back to her parents' home and tried to figure out her next move. In September, a longtime friend offered her an admin job with his company.
"I learned that you can't be admin once you've been the boss. I did a few months there before we all realized it was a mistake. We consciously uncoupled. That's when I decided it was time to apply my knowledge and network," she says.
And with that, her consulting firm, This Charming Mandi, was born. (You can follow her in IG: @thischarmingmandi) and Facebook.)
A brighter future
"I've learned that entrepreneurs are forever," Lunan says. "Trying to work a 9-5 seemed like a luxury, but ended up being difficult as I was not accustomed to it, and I struggled not being the boss."
These days, she is working part time at the LCBO while building her consulting business. She enjoys the friendly low-stress interaction with LCBO customers.
So far her consulting clients have included a government run daycare centre, a tiny restaurant, a rock band, and even some visual artists. She offers services including business plan writing, speaking and lectures, social media strategy, and an "introduction" service for which she pairs clients with people from her personal network based on personalities and needs.
"What I've learned in the past year is that I'm so much more than just the Auntie Loo's brand. There's value in my life, in my knowledge, in my family and friends," she says.
Her longtime friend Mailyne Mae agrees. She first met Mandi in Small and Medium Enterprise Management at Algonquin College, and says that while Mandi was courageous enough to pursue her passions, she had not yet reached that point . "When I finally jumped into self-employment, Mandi was always at the forefront of my mind, " she says. "She gave me courage and words of wisdom and was even one of my first clients. To me, Mandi wasn't someone I knew as a vegan baker, she was and is a dear friend who has inspired me and who also happened to feed me through her baking. The closing of her business has definitely left a hole in the community but it will never leave a hole in our hearts, especially not mine."
Lunan has also been working diligently on an upcoming cookbook, Auntie Loo for You, with a planned late autumn release. She will be sharing her favorite recipes from the bakery, as well as many of the ones she makes at home.

Is Ray Miller Seriously Considering a Run for Voinovich's Seat?
I just got word that Ray Miller is stepping down as Senate Minority Leader. Gongwer says he is "looking forward to focusing on a handful of legislative issues that are important to him."
It's funny because we were just discussing possible candidates for the 2010 senate race and Ray Miller's name came up. I thought it was pretty damn funny.
Now I'm starting to wonder if it actually might be true?
It's still pretty damn funny though.
Modern Esquire
Please weigh in on this before they vote for the new Senate leadership on Wednesday:
We've been really kicked down the last few years in Ohio, but this would be a race I would welcome. I know they say that you often get what you wish for, but there are many other names I'd be more fearful of as someone who wants to keep the seat in GOP hands.

The first Scott Stevens appearance in the NHL instantly made an impact, scoring his first shot in his first NHL game. He was drafted fifth overall by the Washington Capitals in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft, where his exceptional defensive and offensive plays helped the team to its first Memorial Cup victory. He was also named to the All-Rookie Team and led all rookie defensemen in penalty minutes. Stevens was the third choice for the Calder Memorial Trophy, awarded to the league's Rookie of the Year. He led the team in PIMs five times over his career with the Capitals, setting the team record for most career penalty minutes by a defenseman.
Stevens spent a season in St. Louis, then continued his career with the New Jersey Devils, where he captained the team to four Stanley Cup Finals in nine years. Stevens led the team to victory three of those Stanley Cup Finals. In 2000, Stevens was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy for being the MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Stevens was forced to retire after an injury, and in 2007, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on his first year of eligibility.
**Scott Stevens Speaker**
Hockey was Stevens' true passion, which helped him earn a reputation as a fierce competitor and a hard hitter who personified the Devils' defense-first mentality. The result was obvious – three Stanley cups – and he'll be able to tell you all about them at the next Scott Stevens speaker appearance.
**Scott Stevens Appearance**
Aside from the Scott Stevens appearance in the NHL, there was also a Scott Stevens appearance in a number of international hockey competitions in which he won two silver medals and a bronze medal. In 1991, a Scott Stevens appearance helped his team to gold at the Ice Hockey World Championships.
**Scott Stevens Endorsement**
No matter their favorite team, a Scott Stevens endorsement will impress any hockey fan. His years of dedication and leadership always made his teams better, and he'll provide the same dedication while he supports your company.

HARDCORE. Like their label-mates in PISS, Berlin's LIFE FUCKER integrate a few different styles of contemporary hardcore into their sound, namely the noisy, pogo-infused New York/Toxic State sound and the harsher d-beat of bands like FRAMTID or PEDRDITION. LIFE FUCKER have a bit of a meatier, more straightforward sound, basing their sound around bigger, more straightforward riffs, then on their previous release. Still, despite the emphasis on pure power, which LIFE FUCKER have in spades, there's still a little bit of that off-kilter, super punk sound that makes this far more than your generic d-beat record. A real pounder! Comes with OBIstrip and a huge poster!

Owning a Home is the Best Investment You Can Make for Yourself or Your Children
Lets start with a quick comparison example: rent a 3 bedroom 2 bath home for $1,500/mo. Purchase a very similar home for $350K, total payment of $1800/mo. change your W4 take home exmptions and bring home an extra $600/mo. in income.
Your monthly outlay is $1,200/mo. & You Own!!
Investing in stocks, bonds or even cattle futures! are all optional decisions that one can make based on their particular financial situation. INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE IS NOT OPTIONAL! Everyone needs to live somewhere so everyone is invested one way or another. If you are renting, you are paying the owner and thus providing part of his return on investment! If you are an owner, there are many financial advantages:
If You are a Parent that Wants to Help Your Children either Just Getting Started in Life, or as a Legacy
Home ownership is one of the best gifts you can give your children. Whether it's simply helping them with the down payment, co-signing, or joint ownership, it will have an effect over the course of their entire life! And if you are worried about their financial responsibility, you can structure an agreement that protects both you and them; even if you bought and rented to them with the plan for them to inherit, this provides a secure savings for their future. Worst case, you have the ability to sell or rent to someone else if necessary. There are many safe options to help your children if this is your desire. Dennis Amaral (my lender) and I are very happy to discuss the possibilities with you!
Two things I have Consistently Observed in my 17 years of working Real Estate!
1. Most people with significant savings and assets accomplished this with Real Estate. Few people save signifcant money from their employment!
2. In almost every situation, a person can purchase a similar property to what they are renting for less than what they pay in rent! Especially when taking into account the huge tax advantage to owning!

Gen-i has been awarded a contract to provide ICT infrastructure, including voice and data services based on Telecom's XT network, for Eden Park. The technology will be a fundamental component next year's Rugby World Cup.
Today's spectator at sports and other entertainment events demands more than just a good view of the arena, says Eden Park Trust CEO David Kennedy.
"The tech savvy spectator expects a media enriched experience that gets them up close to the action," Kennedy says.
The upgrade is part of Eden Park's $190 million refit to equip it for the 2011 Rugby World Cup tournament and future events. Gen-i is also the ICT provider to the 2011 Rugby World Cup itself.
The longer-term aim is to gain the stadium a share of a burgeoning international venue-hire business against what management expects will be tough competition from other venues.
The project will provide an integrated IP-based network to power Cisco StadiumVision digital signage, automated ticketing processes, security and building management. Gen-i is also installing wi-fi and mobile networks which will boost capacity and coverage within the stadium without obtrusive aerials, the company says.
Gen-i already supplies Eden Park with all its fixed voice, data, internet and mobile voice and data technology, but the new contract was won in open tender against competition from Datacom, IBM, Datacraft, TelstraClear and Axon.
Important factors in the choice of Gen-i were itis New Zealand ownership and the fact it has strong partnerships with "the big players like Microsoft and Cisco", says Glen McCracken, ICT project director for the Eden Park Redevelopment Board.
Improved ticketing systems based on magnetic stripe and barcode readers will increase the flow of spectators into the ground, McCracken says, despite the refit reducing the number of entrances from 28 to four.
About 300 Panasonic screens throughout the stadium will display a variety of information. These will range in size from 26cm signage displays to two 110-square -metre "super-screens" displaying views of the action in the arena. Other displays will convey real-time information about people-traffic flow through entrance and exit access-ways and promotional messages, some offering a chance for spectators to interact with the promotion through their mobile devices, winning concessionary prices for refreshments and the like.
Neither Gen-i nor McCracken would reveal the cost of the network development.
"About half" the upgrade will be in place in time for Eden Park's hosting of matches in the Four Nations Rugby League tournament in November, McCracken says.
