One would wish that it were not just political events we toasted to as a nation. Ruling party anniversaries, days marking dodgy national heroes and our Independence Day anniversary that still shows little by way of national self-actualisation, are all marked with timely precision. Yet certain commemorations would probably make better sense than those yellow-tinged televised political yawns. Take 1993, a year most will remember more for World Bank Structural Adjustment Programmes (that bitter pill so-called third world nations were forced to swallow en masse) and maybe the failed Musevenomics which marked the genesis of what now passes for the "Fundamental Fraud" (whatever happened to the fundamental change that was promised at that Parliament terrace speech back in January 1986).

2013: Film's Annus Horribilis
2013 may turn out to be local film's annus horribilis if seen through the prism of film festivals. The industry's premier cinema showcase, the annual Amakula Kampala International Film Festival made an inevitable transition into oblivion. Apparently, its mzungu directors (and founders) ran the festival aground following hesitation to hand it over to locals as demanded by donors. Before its "demise", Amakula had had a consistent nine-year run. This year's 10th edition would have been a major milestone for the festival that had become synonymous with showcasing independent cinema – the alternative kind the commercial cinemas tend to shun.
The initial plan was to hand Amakula over to an indigenous team after the fifth edition in line with the festival's development plan. However, drunk with "founders syndrome", the festival's creators – a hippie mzungu couple that found a vacuum and used their Western Europe donor partners to create a film festival – opted to literally "kill" the festival. Now in limbo, attempts to revive Amakula have taken the form of a "sabbatical" to assess its impact on local cinema over the course of its nine editions. One gripe film practitioners had about Amakula was that it rarely opened and closed with an indigenous movie as is the norm with international festivals of note elsewhere. This is often seen as the biggest endorsement to the cinematic spaces in which most festivals operate.
Of threadbare Blankets and bland Wine
There's something of an oddity about the periodic music showcase Blankets and Wine whose fifth instalment took place at Kampala's Uganda Museum last Sunday December 8th. For a city better known for its signature humidity, the thought of carrying a blanket to a daytime entertainment event comes off as an aberration even when the intention is to sit on it. And just how many of our pretentious upper-crust revellers can tell a Chardonnay from a Sauvignon Blanc? Perhaps something along the lines of bikinis, briefs and beer would make better sense for Kampala. Fact is your Kampalan's palate understands froth better, right down to the alcoholic content percentage precision.
A belated Mac Elvis adieus
News of Mac Elvis passing hit me hard. "Church Boy", like he was known amongst his peers, drowned in a Dar-es-Salaam swimming pool on Saturday October 19th, 2013. I can't say we were that close. He was a musician I met occasionally at gospel-themed concerts, one that always made it a point to come over and introduce himself to someone many see as the industry's harshest critic. And every time we met, I could see the yearning in his eyes, eager to have me give his career my stamp of approval by way of a "Moses Serugo" byline. Yet having left mainstream media, I felt that would not amount to much now that I was running an obscure website, the bulk of my work time being gobbled up by arts event promotion.
Our last rendezvous was at the 2012 Olive Awards Nominees Night at some backwater venue somewhere near Bat Valley. He looked emaciated but explained it away as a result of a mostly fluid-based diet. He was recuperating from an iron-bar-hit-men attach that had left him with a broken jaw and a mostly yoghurt diet. Amazing how most times we see the victims as unlucky statistics in the rising wave of urban crime. That was probably the incident that gave Elvis a renewed lease on life, one that had him to lay claim to 2013 as his year christening himself "Mr. 2013". It was this year that he also rode on the crest of his runaway hit Topowa Game, the title track to his album.
The saddening thing was meeting his death the way he did, in a foreign land, away from family. The conspiracy theorist in me thought there could have been something sinister about his death to merit a CSI-style investigation. But then again it may have been his time as Christian folk are wont to explain away such untimely demises. After all he was on a mission to win souls and had left quite a mark according to those that were on the trip with him. My own guilt tripping has had me beating myself up for not acknowledging this young man's talent in his living years. Good thing he left us with parting shot in Topowa Game, an ode to never giving up no matter the circumstances. If 2013 has been annus horribilis maybe because the number "13" is associated with bad luck, let Topowa Game be the nugget those of us that still have breath can live by. A concert to celebrate his life will be held Sunday December 1st at UCF Makerere starting 3pm. Entrance is UGX5K. For those that want something to remember Mark Elvis Mutalya by, Topowa Game albums will be on sale.

Silver Dragorse Libertus
Create a balance between yin and yan. This Libertus collection is a magnet absorbing negativity, and strengthen positivity. It provides you with the bravery to challenge your weakness and a sense of security to search for stability physically, mentally, and spiritually. A combination of Snowflake and Obsidian shapes the identity of braveness in truly reflecting ourselves.
The diversified elements of the Dragorse design symbolize a mixture of creativity and histories. A combination of horse and dragon represents chaos, death as well as fertileness and luck. It reminds us to find balance in life, to accept two sides in everything. A medieval king helmet and Chinese emperor crown demonstrate the absolute power in overcoming all odds. It equips us with courage and persistence in finding the truth.
Dragorse design - finding and accepting what can not be changed, but with the courage of changing what should be altered.

Veterinary Series Lecture
A Variety of Topics Including Gait Analysis, Bandaging and Case Selection
The purpose of this talk is to help the participants identify gait abnormalities in the
canine patients. To identify gait abnormalities, it is important to take a close look
at the normal gaits. We will dissect the three main gaits (walk, trot and canter) and look
at breed variations. We will then examine abnormal gaits and identify the lamenesses.
How to properly walk a dog for gait analysis will be discussed along with other tips and
tricks that make gait analysis fun and accurate. We will also look at how to do an
orthopedic evaluation of a patient and discuss some of the relevant/common conditions
that may arise.
Bandages are a very useful tool in small animal practices, especially for patients with
orthopedic issues. However, if the bandage is not applied properly, this useful tool can
too quickly become useless, or worse, dangerous. In our referral practice we see
patients present far too frequently with a bandage that is either ineffective or causing
significant discomfort to the patient. We will discuss the layers of a bandage, their
purpose, proper order of application and why they are ineffective and/or dangerous if
omitted or applied in the wrong order. Note that this is not a wound management talk
and therefore the various types contact layers will one briefly be mentioned. The focus
of the talk is on creating an effective and safe wrap. We will discuss various types of
commonly used bandages (forelimb, hind limb), their indications and how to effectively
apply them so that they are comfortable, don't slip and do what they are
intended to do. Through out the discussion we will present tips and tricks to help create
the best possible bandage. Splinted bandages will be included in this presentation.
How to select the proper type/fit splint and where to place it on the limb and within the
bandage. The advantages and disadvantages of the commercially made vs custom
made splints will be discussed. No bandage talk is complete without a serious
discussion on bandage care, as this is where many of the problems occur. To help drive
some of the more important points of this talk home, we will present some of the
'involuntary learning opportunities' we have had along the way. There are no mistakes,
only opportunities to learn and improve.
Lastly, we will have a discussion on appropriate case selection. A surgeon's primary goal should always be to ensure the best possible outcome for his/her patient. High success rates in surgery are dependent on selecting cases that are likely to fit one's level of expertise, or skill set. Different procedures will be examined and required skill level determined.
Hospital Personnel Lecture
Gait Analysis and Introduction to Rehabilitation
The purpose of this talk is to help the participants identify gait abnormalities in the canine patients. To identify gait abnormalities, it is important to know what the normal gaits look like. We will look very closely at the three main canine gaits (walk, trot and canter) and then look at breed variations. We will then examine abnormal gaits and identify the lamenesses. A key component to gait analysis is having someone properly walk the dog; this will be discussed along with other tips and tricks that make gait analysis fun and accurate.
The discussion will continue with a look at why rehabilitation is such a useful tool helping pets with mobility issues improve significantly. Benefits to the patient include: Increase speed and thoroughness of recovery by addressing ROM, pain, swelling, muscle mass, crepitus, and confidence in using the limb. Also, a good rehabilitation regime will do wonders for the patient's mental and emotional health. Also, most clients appreciate being an active participant in their pet's recovery and taking some responsibility for their pet's wellbeing. There are many simple rehab tools available however this presentation will center around the most practical and impactful tools.
Some passive therapeutic modalities and active modalities (exercises) will be discussed. The key to using the tools that will be demonstrated here effectively is to understand why they work and therefore how to use them successfully. We start with the walk, why it is important, how to properly and effectively walk a patient to achieve a desired outcome. It will become evident that the 'a walk' and 'a rehab walk' are not the same thing. From there we will add on exercises to achieve different outcomes or address specific issues.

Evaluation & Feedback
The faculty are enthusiastic teachers, and the Section of General Medicine is highly regarded among their colleagues, thus creating a respectful environment that is conducive to professional growth.
An effective evaluation and feedback system is critical to the success of the PCT, and serves to help residents, faculty and the Program Director recognize strengths and improve weaknesses.
The Primary Care and Categorical tracks have identical approaches to evaluation and feedback. Both use a Web-based electronic evaluation system, direct meetings with supervising faculty, biannual meetings with the program director, inservice written exams (to assess preparedness for Internal Medicine Boards), and informal mentoring and feedback sessions with faculty.
The Program Director actively solicits and responds to feedback from the residents regarding the program's educational activities, including meetings with program leadership approximately twice a year. Resident feedback is an essential component of quality improvement and curriculum development.

Greetings, Bearers!
Two quick bits for you to enjoy. First, here's an interview I did for Scribbles and Tunes (big thanks to Chris for letting me do it). I like quirky interviews like that; so much fun to do!
Second, I'm planning on getting ready to take the plunge into the world of Dune, the famed universe featuring Paul Atredies and the giant worms. I've seen the old movie, but at the recommendation of the guitar player in the jazz band I work with, I'm going to check out the first book in the series. If any of you (my readers) have read anything from the Dune universe and want to chime in, feel free to do so!
So back to work for me. Man, I'd really like a big pizza right now.
See you in the Vein!

Sounders Insider
Injuries considered in assembling expansion list
With the Sounders protected and unprotected lists due Nov. 21 and the Montreal expansion draft coming up Nov. 23, we asked general manager Adrian Hanauer about the process of assembling this season's list, and specifically if the club is tempted to try to sneak through some of their high profile players coming off injuries.
"It's going to be difficult and painful again this year just like it has been in the first two years," he said. "We have a lot of players who we think could start on a lot of teams around the league -- maybe all the teams going through this process feel the same way. And we certainly consider an injured player that may sneak through."

Trustees of the Pennsylvania
Restoration is one of 6 remaining Pennsylvania churches that were originally founded as Universalist Churches. Since we were officially established in 1820, we can claim the title of oldest continuously meeting Universalist-heritaged church in Pennsylvania.
Universalist Convention (TPUC)
Athens Sheshequin has quite a fascinating history which even predates their official 1821 founding. (Here is a well-written historical description.)
- Unitarian Universalist Church of the Restoration, Philadelphia (est. 1820)
- Unitarian Universalist Church of Athens and Sheshequin (est. 1821)
- First Universalist Church of Brooklyn (est. 1824)
- First Unitarian Universalist Church of Berks County, Reading (est. 1832)
- First Unitarian Universalist Church of Girard (est. 1849)
- Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Smithton (est. 1860)
Fern C. is our current Trustee, and an able group of Restoration folks have served as her alternate Trustee, including Tim S., Cynthia B., Cody P., and Julie B. Each year there are two meetings of the trustees. The Annual Meeting in October rotates through each of the member churches. We were the host church in 2016 and last year the meeting was at the Reading Church.
This year we return to Girard. We will be staying overnight in Erie, PA. The Annual Meeting is a lovely event and an opportunity to meet folks and learn about the other member churches and their histories. We are entitled to 5 voting delegates from our congregation and a minister delegate. The northwest corner of our state is far enough away that delegates should plan on making it a long weekend trip. The meeting itself is on Saturday morning, and includes a keynote speaker. This year our keynote will be offered by the Rev. Dr. Susan Ritchie. Along with continuing as the minister of The North Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Lewis Center, Ohio, Rev. Ritchie was recently appointed the Executive Director of the Harvard Square Library. She is an animated and fascinating speaker!* Lunch is offered next! There are choices of activities through the afternoon. (Trustees and their alternates have an afternoon business meeting.) Saturday evening there is a celebratory dinner which allows for more visiting and networking. It is fun to attend the regular Sunday service at the host church and then we head home. The hotel is situated right near Presque Isle State Park on Lake Erie which looks very enticing to your Trustee! Let Fern know if you are interested in being one of our delegates to this year's Annual Meeting.
Ask Fern about the last time Rev. Ritchie spoke to us at Smithton in 2015!

Tsai Ing-wen and the Democratic Progressive Party were not the only ones disappointed by Saturday's election results in Taiwan, which also saw voters approve a referendum opposing same-sex marriage.
The referendum had asked voters if marriage should be defined in Taiwan's Civil Code as being restricted to the union of one man and one woman, as is currently the case. It received more "yes" votes than "no" and passed the 25 percent approval threshold.
In May 2017, the Council of Grand Justices in Taipei ordered that legislation be adopted within the next two years to enshrine marriage equality into law. Despite the initial excitement over this ruling, all efforts at accelerating the revision, which would make Taiwan the first in Asia to recognize gay marriage, have stalled. Meanwhile, conservative groups have refused to give up the fight, pushing this referendum which has created complications.
While a referendum cannot overturn a court ruling, it likely means that marriage equality will not be achieved in Taiwan through amendments to the Civil Code, but rather legislation will be passed to safeguard the rights of gay couples to enter same-sex unions. Already, a spokeswoman for the Executive Yuan has announced that such a law is being drafted and will be introduced for a vote in the legislature within three months, just ahead of the May 2019 deadline set by the court.
The results of the referendum came as a surprise to many who had believed that Taiwan was becoming more liberal and progressive with the DPP's landslide victory in 2016 and public polling showing increasing support for gay marriage. However, Taiwanese voters also ended up approving a referendum against the teaching of same-sex education in primary and middle school classrooms.
Meanwhile, the single referendum that was put on the ballot by local gay rights activists failed.

Aspen (Populus tremula), fam. Salicaceae.
Quite often occurs in the forest – in the clearings, but also in rather humid places along the rivers. By inexperience, a young aspen could be confused with a birch; however, its bark is not actually white but only light-grey, and the leaves are more round-shaped. Aspens flower in early spring, well before the leaves appear (its catkins begin to open slightly even during the winter thaws). The fruit is analogous to the infamous poplar fluff. The succulent bark and the leaves contain a moderate bitter, and they are both medicinal.

What does the future behold? How can we manifest a positive future for our ways of being, and for our social and economic systems? How can technology support harmony between humankind and our natural environment?
Caroline has studied in depth these questions, as she nears the completion of her first futuristic 'solarpunk novel. The book is set in 2050, and speaks to new social systems and environmental sustainability. From automated electric cars to eco-cities, Caroline's fascination in technology and futurism has come from a place of deep empathy for the world she lives in. The ingenuity of her German roots and her love of the natural world come together in beautiful harmony as she inspires healthy change through her words.

Was taking pictures of Castle Mountain with the evening light on it. At that time the clouds were too far away and I was not liking the pictures I was getting. Once the light was off the clouds, the clouds in the distance lit up. Then it was a hurry to find a spot without falling off the ice into the cold water to take the picture I was hoping for.

A Syrian man has filed a complaint with the Justice Ministry, alleging that a group of foreigners and Lumpini police had extorted money from him.
Alhalabee Yasser met Pol Colonel Dusadee Arayawut, deputy permanent secretary for justice, to complain that a group of men demanded more than Bt600,000 in exchange for not prosecuting him for overstaying his visa, and to obtain the freedom of his son who had been detained by immigration police.
Yasser said he had been living in Thailand for four years due to the war that had engulfed his country.
He runs a barber shop in Soi Nana and was forced to pay Bt15,000 a month to a group of three foreigners from Syria, Egypt and Lebanon who claimed that they were Lumpini police volunteers. They told him the payment would protect him and his son from legal action.
However in June, Yasser alleged, Lumpini police arrested his son and detained him at an immigration jail. The group then demanded money for the release of his son, so Yasser paid them several times to a total of about Bt600,000.
However his son remained in jail, so he came to seek justice with awareness that he could be prosecuted for overstaying.
Dusadee said that he would ask the police department to examine the claims and would forward the case to the Office of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission for further investigation as the claim involved police officers.

4. Lack of control loophole - "I can't help myself"
5. Planning to fail loophole - formerly known as the "Apparently irrelevant decision loophole"
6. "This doesn't count" loophole - "I'm on vacation" "I'm sick" "It's the weekend"
7. Questionable assumption loophole -"Look, it says it's healthy on the label"
8. Concern for others loophole - "I can't do this because it might make other people uncomfortable"

$0.99 on 6/26/2019 – Breaking Us Both by Tinto Selvaggio
What happens when a husband goes behind his wife's back and arranges for her to be seduced by the kind of dominant alpha male she's always dreamed of?
Everyone who knows Vaughn thinks he's one lucky guy having a beautiful wife like Lily.
Little do they know.
Not only is Vaughn a frustrated submissive husband with an unfulfilled longing for dominant training and cuckold humiliation; he's also married to the kind of young hotwife who thinks "real" men don't behave like wimps, and who gets very little pleasure from his attempts at love-making.
When Vaughn discovers Lily's libido is not as low as she's been claiming and that she has submissive fantasies of her own, he senses an opportunity. A way for them both to get what they really need in bed.
The only problem is, it will mean deceiving his wife. At least at first…
How will a submissive husband react when he introduces his wife to her ideal type of guy and the man wants more than mere control of the young hotwife?
He wants domination and use of the husband as well..
The Author / Publisher advised that this title was available for $0.99 (or local equivalent), discounted from $2.99 on 6/26/2019 at the following retailers:

Not Just Any Yogurt
Yogurt or not to yogurt, that's the question. Some will say dairy and dogs don't mix, wrong. Yogurt is good dairy, just make sure it's the correct kind.
In some conventional yogurts, they may add some undesirable ingredients, such as colors, preservatives and sugars. The dairy used can come from cows that are given hormones to increase milk production where those hormones are passed on to your pooch. Additionally, they use homogenized and pasteurized milk when making their yogurt. Therefore, it's important to know where your yogurt comes from before you add it to your pet's diet.
Below are some of the benefits of adding yogurt to your pet's diet:
- High in protein, calcium, vitamins, live cultures or probiotics that will enhance the gut microbiota of your pooch
- It is easily digestible and can prevent digestive problems
- It can offer protection of the bones and teeth
- Probiotics may help boost your dog's immune system
- Yogurt is also a nutritional option if dogs have a problem eating, if they have teeth problems or dental issues
- It is also a great way to administer any of those medications that your dog won't take on it's own
- Yogurt has less lactose in it since it's used up during the fermentation process
- Yogurt may enhance the absorption of other vitamins and minerals because of the bacteria
Come in and taste the difference with The Dining Dog Yogurt, where everything is always fresh. No added sugar, colors, additives or artificial flavors the way nature intended!

Isabella's at Rochford WineryAugust 15, 2014
Some time ago I was kindly invited by the good people at Rochford Winery to sample their new winter menu at Isabella's restaurant, their all day eatery and cafe. Rochford Wines has a prime position in the Yarra Valley, right along the Maroondah highway, just minutes from picturesque Healesville.
The weekend we went up was wintry beyond belief, so it was lovely to step into the warmth of Isabella's restaurant. With floor to ceiling windows on three sides, it offers lots of natural light and views of the surrounding vineyards.
The restaurant includes both a formal dining area and a more casual cafe, with different menus at each. Both offer delicious, modern European dishes and desserts, and of course Rochford's award winning wine selection. Their cellar door sits adjacent to the restaurant, and as we walked in there were a number of groups enjoying a selection.
But enough about their beautiful grounds – let's get to the delicious stuff.
Wine – 2012 Yarra Valley Chardonnay, very easy to drink, nicely balanced.
And bread. Dense, meaty, sour, delicious.
Now food. Mr N began with their blue swimmer crab and potato cakes with lemon aioli and watercress, plus a delicate little claw to enjoy. It was a good light beginning to a meal, but the ratio could have been improved with less potato and more crab.
I had the Rochford classic chicken pate, with piccalilli (my favourite), local walnuts, a tiny little picked onion, and lavosh. Beautifully presented, I particularly liked how they'd smeared the end of the pate onto the plate invitingly. I happily tucked in and Mr N helped me finish such a generous serve.
For my mains, I couldn't go past the wild barramundi with winter clam chowder, smoked haddock, leeks and sweetcorn. Again, a very generous size that I couldn't finish (a rare thing for me). The barramundi was cooked to perfection, easily breaking into soft flakes that paired well with a rich and warming chowder.
I was also amazed at how many tiny little clams they'd used in the chowder – I later learned that the chefs had spent all morning shelling thousands of them for the day's service! If that wasn't enough, check out that huge clam on top – the mother of all clams – it was surprisingly sweet and tender.
Mr N chose a winner with his rare breed free-range pork cheek, served with crispy ham hock, croquette, spiced apple compote, black garlic, miso glaze and a statuesque curl of crackling. What a beautifully put together dish! The pork was Glen Hadley's, the croquette made with Yea Dairy black wax cheddar, and the apples were from Maroondah Orchard. Lots of fantastic local producers being supported, which is wonderful to see.
This was probably the dish of the day: wonderfully presented, lots of great flavours but most importantly fresh local produce given lots of love. The spiced apple compote had an almost curried taste to it, giving a lovely little hint of the sub-continent to the dish.
Then onto the most anticipated course for me: desserts. I'd seen several plates of tiramisu served to nearby tables, and immediately knew what I would be ordering. Served in a small terracotta pot, Rochford's tiramisu arrived with a twist: chocolate soil and Marsala cream. So delicious, not to mention adorable. Again though, I was defeated by the generous serving size.
Cross-section shot.
Mr N again chose well with his dessert (I'm beginning to think there are no "wrong choices" on this menu!), the royal delice. Think cherry and chocolate, freeze dried raspberries, a frozen chocolate and vanilla sphere, and griottine cherries. Trust me, it was fantastic. I could happily have eaten this three times over for my lunch!
To sum up: yum, yum, yum! Delicious food, great wine, beautiful setting. Well worth a trip to the picturesque Yarra Valley in itself!
Thank you to the lovely people at Rochford and Tyrrell Publicity and Promotions for having me!

In Haiti, Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant has resigned amid a wave of anti-austerity protests sparked by the government's plan to raise fuel prices at the behest of the International Monetary Fund. This is lawmaker Abel Descoline, responding to the prime minister's resignation.
Abel Descoline: "It is a first step in the peaceful revolution, political revolution, to overthrow the Haitian political system and to bring some elements before justice for trivializing the laws and the constitution, which hinder the country."

Merryweather: Sweet princess, if through this wicked witch's trick, a spindle should your finger prick… a ray of hope there still may be in this, the gift I give to thee. Not in death, but just in sleep, the fateful prophecy you'll keep. And from this slumber you shall wake, when true love's kiss, the spell shall break.
My prince kissed me so I can finally stay awake. I slept so long and finally woke up and felt like doing something. I got my book in the mail that I ordered from Handy Hands Tatting. It is called, Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior. I have been salivating over this book for a long time but $60 is a lot of money to spend on a book. That is the cheapest you can get this book new. Finally, my "prince" said I could order it and I have it my grubby little hands. I'm like a little girl in a candy store looking at these glossy pages of beautiful tatting patterns. I'll be making so many wonderful tatted treasures now.

I just updated my paged called "Twenty Wishes". When I read the book by Debbie Macomber called Twenty Wishes I decided to make my own list too. I don't quit have twenty yet but I'm working on it. I have fulfilled one wish so far. I really love how this list keeps me thinking positive and thinking about the future and all that I can do. My life isn't over, it is just getting started!

By Marcelle Dibrell
As winter is rapidly drawing to a close, it's time for service professionals to begin thinking about opening their pools for the swimming season. For those pools that were truly closed for the winter, this can be a big job.
As always, the sheer quantity of pools emerging from hibernation will have service firms begin the yearly process of gearing up by hiring new employees and training them for the jobs ahead.
Depending on the region, for some firms this is a fairly lucrative time of year. According to the 2013 Service Industry News Survey, firms offering spring openings charged an average of approximately $300 for this service last year.
Opening a pool for the summer months can sometimes be quite labor intensive.
In regions that experience a true winter, opening a pool for the season means removing pool covers, reinstalling equipment, servicing weather damaged equipment, assessing pool shell and deck damage, and returning water chemistry to safe operating conditions.
In other locals, spring openings can merely mean ensuring proper sanitizer levels and bringing neglected water back into balance.
Wherever the service technician lives, the swimming season will be here shortly, and now is the time to begin ramping up business and getting customers excited about readying their pools for the season.
After all, opening pools in the spring is a great business opportunity, whether the pool has been completely shut down for the winter or simply operating on greatly reduced bather load.
And as we anticipate the seasonal profits, it's also the time to train seasonal employees on proper water chemistry and equipment service.
That's because opening a pool for the season gives service firms the opportunity to give the pool area a complete annual checkup, allowing new employees to truly learn the ropes.
It's a great idea to allow new hires to shadow pool care veterans on their service routes, especially as they are opening their pools for the season. Spring openings provide them with an opportunity to learn all of the fundamentals of pool care, from equipment care to total water sanitation and balance.
While there is a lot of work involved in readying a pool for the season, the most important aspect of pool care is swimmer safety, which is based in part on proper water chemistry. And no matter where the pool is located, when opening a pool for the swimming season, the single most important chemical parameter to maintain is the proper level of water sanitizer.
That's because the pool professional's primary goal is to facilitate sanitary swimming conditions; that is, to control bacteria and algae. A full discussion of sanitizers will be included in the May 15.
This issue will instead be focused on the second most important job of the pool and spa professional: To create balanced water that is non-damaging to pool surfaces and equipment and that is simultaneously sparkling clear and appealing to swimmers.
Paid subscribers have full access to the complete coverage on pool and spa openings. Contact our circulation department at 949-916 0292 or email email@example.com for details.

OH MY GOSH! Guys this is my first DANCE portrait blog post! I'm so excited to open up this new aspect of my business and to reach a new audience. One little fun fact about me is that I was a dancer ever since I was 4 years old. It was my whole life, that's all I put my focus on (besides school because I'm a "grade-freak"). Taking these portraits of my best friend, Kayleigh, brought back some amazing memories of dancing on stage, and that's what I miss about it the most. Down below are some of my favorites of my very first dance shoot (along with some other beautiful portraits with her in my FAVORITE color). Have a great weekend guys, XOXO!
PS-- Look for the new hashtag, #juliaweaverballerinas !!!!

A.M. Sacramento: Here's what you need to know for Wednesday
Good morning. Here's what you need to know today:
Calm before the showers: Two days of sunshine are forecast for Sacramento before the advent of a minor storm system on Friday. It's been more than two weeks since measurable rainfall was recorded in Sacramento. The ground is dry and already blooming spring flowers could use a drink. The high today is expected to be 67 degrees.
Plans for Natomas arena site: Nearly two years after a new ownership group took control of the Sacramento Kings and Sleep Train Arena, the team is still working on a plan for the redevelopment of the North Natomas arena site once the franchise moves into a new downtown facility.
'Local' firm campaigns: With a billion-dollar California bullet train contract up for grabs this year, international rail giant Siemens stepped up to campaign this week, promoting itself as the "local" company in the race. Siemens, whose parent company is based in Germany, operates a busy plant in south Sacramento, its North American manufacturing headquarters.
▪ Bee video: California's First Bullet Train?
Scary visitors: The majesty and wildness of a pride of four mountain lions captured on camera earlier this month on the property of Tami and Bob Sutton continues to astound the Georgetown couple.
Early bloom: Daffodil Hill in Volcano, a popular springtime attraction, which normally opens in mid-March, opened earlier this week because of the warm, sunny weather. Daffodil Hill's operators warned that any adverse weather such as severe heat, rain or snow could bring closure. But for now, the hill may be visited 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week.
▪ Bee video: Daffodil Hill blooms early
Coaching assist: The Sacramento Kings have been looking for creativity on offense, and new assistant coach Vance Walberg will be asked to bring something new to spark the style of play ownership sought when Michael Malone was fired.
Local sports today: NBA – Memphis Grizzlies at Kings, 7 p.m. (CSNCA, KHTK 1140)
College baseball – Eastern Michigan at UC Davis, 2 p.m.
Men's college basketball – Oregon at Cal, 8 p.m. (ESPNU, KAHI 950)


text: ABOUT An avid photographer with a distaste for social media, this pocket of the Internet provides space for creativity and inspiration. As an analytic working in tech, I turned to photography as a creative outlet. I'm constantly inspired by the ability of photos to tell stories. You can give two people the same landscape and they will photograph the landscape differently. Located in San Francisco by way of Chicago, I re-launched my personal photography blog to chronicle the issues that I care deepest about, along with my photography. As I navigate my new city, I'm looking to get more involved in local non-profits, specifically those related to education. If you are located in SF, let's get in touch!

Top 2017 Reads: Standalone's
When we decided to create our TOP Reads list of 2017 the only thing we could agree on was that we needed multiple categories so we could make sure we were able to include all of our favorite in each category. While each of us read less books than in years past, we read some PHENOMENAL books and it made it even harder to decide how to choose! Below you'll find a combination of individual favorites as well as group favorites. We hope you enjoy these reads as much as we have!
Happy Reading!

The student ministries pastor has "scaled back" midweek services for the summer. The lead pastor is off with his family on vacation to somewhere amazing- judging by his facebook photos! The associate pastor is so chill right now (he's growing a full on beard!) because he has "limited" small group sessions planned this summer. He's using summer to work on fall. So why oh why are you, dear kid's ministry leader, frying like an egg out on that hot hot hot sidewalk? Summer is not a break for children's ministry leaders. It is typically VERY busy. Here are just a few reasons that summer can be tough for kid's ministry leaders:
- Most of you have a summer outreach-or two. VBS, Summer Camps, Drama Camp, Sports Camp, Sidewalk Sunday School etc. This is one of your craziest, most impactful seasons of the whole year! And all of these outreaches are usually in ADDITION to your regular ministry times on Sundays and midweek. Which can make it more frustrating that…
- Your volunteers are AWAL. Those summer outreaches usually need a LOT of man and woman power. But your volunteers will be taking their vacations and will be off of their usual schedule. I live in the great state of WI. After so many months of bitter cold and snow, many of our leaders literally head out to go camping- ALL SUMMER. The ones who stay on in the summer, still have their vacations to go on.
- Parents are EXTREMELY distracted. The parents of the kids in your ministry are carrying out vacations, summer sports, family trips, family reunions, prepping for fall school etc. If your parents and volunteers need to be told something 8 times during the school year before it "sticks", I think they need to hear information 17 times during the busyness of summer (also during the Holidays). I do not give out a lot of very important information during the summer. Make SURE you make parents and leaders aware of all important summer dates BEFORE school lets out. We have our parent and volunteer meetings right after school starts.
- Your attendance drops. Most churches report that their Sunday and midweek attendance dips in the summer (including the kid's ministry programs). In the past, when we tried to have a volunteer training or parent meeting in the summer, almost no one showed up. Do not let this discourage you. It happens to us all. I do not showcase my amazing new curriculum in the summer. I usually pull out a smaller curriculum, tried and true, and then take new risks with it- like REALLY messy games, water play, or a guest speaker who enters on stilts! Summer is a great time to try some newer things with perhaps "older" lessons. Our focus changes in the summer to making VBS and Camp AMAZING and also preparing for the fall kickoffs.
A Few Summer Survival Tips for Those of Us in Children's Ministry:
- Do communicate frequently with your lead pastor and other staff. Many times they have NO idea how difficult summer is for you. They are throttling down while you are ramping up. Let the staff know how crazy this season can get for you.
- Try recruiting a whole separate set of volunteer leaders for your regular services in the summer. I started recruiting a small group of summer leaders that would commit for those 12 weeks. Then I gave all of my leaders the option to take summer off. Some stayed all summer and loved it. Others came back to the ministry in the fall. Our retention level is very high. Many said they respected that we value them as people, and we want to see them building their own families too.
- Plan Plan Plan. The earlier in the year you start planning for your summer outreaches, the better they will go. Plan downtimes for yourself as well after EVERY event. Try as hard as you can not to plan your outreaches back to back or right off of an all church event. AS tough as it is, try to take your day/days off.
- Give yourself a "light at the end of the tunnel." Most people can push through a tough time if they know there is great reward on the other side, and that the tough time is only temporary. We know the reward for our summer outreaches is beyond measure- children and families coming to know Christ, our church and the kingdom expanding, our community a better place etc. But too often we feel like that insane pace of ministry should be happening at all times, year round. Ministry has SEASONS. For me, fall is my "breather." After we get all of our fall programs kicked off and running smoothly, I have a couple of weeks that are a bit "saner." But I have to work hard and plan before that to make sure I do not burn out. I can push through a tough patch of summer, when I focus on the amazing impact of these outreaches and the smoother season to come.
- You need to delegate and build teams. And this takes time and patience. Sometimes you have to have a few "wins" under your belt before your dream team will jump on board. But I highly suggest teams to help with each outreach, and above all a prayer team that you meet with regularly. You need others encouraging you and cheering you on as you run that "ball" through to the end zone.
How about you? How are summers different from the rest of the year in your ministry? What have you found that helps you the most in your summer ministry?
Love and encouragement always,

Wickham Vineyard is a favourite place of mine especially this time of year. The Vineyard was planted in 1984 and has become a established Vineyard in the local area and still produces a wide range of wines. Wickham Vineyard has just become even more exciting as they have now decided to hire their grounds for wedding parties much to my delight. I am having my wedding party there next year so Wickham Vineyard comes highly recommended by myself if you want something a little different. The Vineyard is a little DIY in style but it allows you to create your mark and add your personality to the venue. So I was delighted to be asked to photograph the lovely Merry and Sam at this venue. Below is just a sneak peek of images taken on the day, which reflects the lovely Sam and Merry a wonderful couple who were a pleasure to meet and photograph. We were blessed with the most amazing weather. As you will notice we had wellington boots in the photographs we could not help ourselves they had to be in for a few pictures they are great for wedding photographs. Props are always welcome in my photography so why not….. It was nice to create wedding photographs that are a little different from the rest. Thank you Merry and Sam for being you.
So from working with the Vineyard I have become Wickham Vineyard's recommended photographer I hope the term "official photographer" is ok to use you will have to ask Jess about this one

Report Claims Apple, RIM Also Bid for Palm
BusinessInsider has just posted a rather interesting article quoting an anonymous source "familiar with the negotiations" updating the May rumor about a bidding war for Palm based on Palm's SEC merger proxy filing with the anonymous references to companies A,B,C, and D.
The BusinessInsider piece adds some choice fuel to the rumor bonfire regarding details about the list of unsuccessful bidders for Palm. According to the report, apart from the usual suitors such as Lenovo and Google, Apple was as an interested bidder, as was RIM. RIM, in fact, supposedly even managed to outbid HP initially and "had to work incredibly hard to blow it". No claims about HTC or any of the other players referenced in the past such as Huawei, Nokia, Dell, or Motorola.
While webOS and Palm-style hardware would be decidedly out of touch with Apple's usual M.O., Palm's patent portfolio and various IP holdings would have been attractive to Apple if it could have picked up Palm for the reported $600 million cash offer. And while RIM is prepping BlackBerry OS 6 for launch later this year, webOS would definitely have helped the company transition to new device formfactors. If this week's Digital Daily report is accurate, RIM is facing waning enthusiasm for its handsets in light from newer, flashier offerings from Apple and Google, not to mention whatever HP and Palm are cooking up for the next-generation of webOS. A line of webOS-based tablets or subnotebooks from RIM featuring tight integration with the BlackBerry backend could have been quite beneficial down the road for the Canadian smartphone pioneer.
