Create A Transferable Skills-Based CV
We meet a lot of people with fantastic experience, but aligned with one specific industry. If you have worked only one job most of your life, how do you break the mould and find something new? The first step in a career change is creating a transferable skills-based CV.
What are Transferable Skills?
Transferable skills are a core set of skills and abilities which are non-specific to a particular role or industry.
Common skills include:
- Time management
- Organisation
- Team leadership
- Management
- Budgeting
- Delegation
- Communication
- Relationship management
- Research and analytics
- Creative thinking
- Problem solving
- Motivation
Why are they important?
When you don't have the specific experience listed in a job vacancy it is your transferable skills you need to highlight to a potential employer.
Remember, an employer will have their own checklist with regards to skill sets they are looking for in a prospective employee. You need to ensure your skills are relevant to the job so you are able to best fit this checklist.
The easiest way to do this is to carefully read the job advertisement. What are the skills the employer is looking for – these will be part of their checklist. Ensure your CV includes these skills.
Don't forget a positive attitude
Whilst experience and skills are key, your own personality traits and work ethic are also something employers take seriously. Many will go for attitude over experience. Your CV needs to convey positive personality traits such as:
- Hardworking
- Adaptable
- Positive
- Dependable
- Punctual
Experience isn't everything
Tailor your CV to show you have the transferable skills, positive personality, willingness and enthusiasm to fit in with the team and the organisation and you will present a compelling proposition for your prospective employer.
SEEK has a number of tools to help you assess your transferable skills: https://www.seek.co.nz/career-advice/transferable-skills-checklist

Karacan vows to keep goingJem Karacan says the Royals will continue to give this season everything they've got - and felt that we deserved better from Saturday.
A dominant start from the Royals led to chances for Sean Morrison, Adam Le Fondre and Adrian Mariappa, but we were dealt a harsh blow when Jay Rodriguez bundled in to steal the lead for the Saints.
"Obviously, we're disappointed. We started really brightly, had a high tempo and got in their faces. We just couldn't get that goal which was frustrating and then got caught with a suckerpunch. We just never got back into it.
"All the boys were gutted in there. But we've got to keep going on. There's another three points up for grabs on Saturday and we've got to give it everything we've got until it's mathematically done. All we can do is keep going."
The midfielder is determined that the Royals keep going until the end of the season - and says the side are always capable of going on a run.
"We'll keep going until the end - the boys have got great spirit, we've shown that year after year. No one can fault us for that, we always keep going until the final whistle. The new gaffer has come in and tried to get us all going again.
"We've got a few games left, we want to finish the season on a high and we've got to get three points on Saturday. That's all we can do. If we can get a win, you never know. We have in it us to go on a run, we've shown that last season and this season."

In 1991 a new sub-label of adidas was born, designed to cater specifically to the athlete, and ensure their needs were met with the correct apparatus. Enter, the birth of the adidas Equipment line. Designer Peter Moore's aim with the range was not to merely create the most expensive or most technical, but purely the best performing to serve the users requirements. 'Equipment' was a word that sounded like it meant business, you didn't just 'play' with Equipment, you 'used' it. These were tools of sorts so this needed to be represented through its brand identity.
The EQT Cushion ADV sits alongside other new incarnations of classic silhouettes from the line. We saw the EQT Running ADV make an appearance towards the start of this year, and I'm sure we can expect to see new variations of classic shapes further down the timeline. Presented in a full Primeknit upper, the sleek profile of the Cushion ADV is reminiscent of some of the greatest technical runners to come out of the brand throughout the 90's, albeit with a modern twist.

INDIANAPOLIS PHOTOGRAPHER | toni's story
I have two boys, Gaige, age 6 1/2, and Mason, age 2 1/2.
My Monkey: Gaige's heart is full of love and determination! He is very sensitive in all aspects of life! If there's a sad part in a movie, he will be the one with tears in his eyes! His smile is contagious and will light up any room instantly! Gaige was honestly born an athlete! Since he was 15 months old he could shoot a basketball with perfect form. I cannot wait to watch his love for sports grow and grow. After all I will be his biggest cheerleader! He is also my lover, always wanting to cuddle and hug me. Definitely a momma's boy!!! I will never forget the incredibly funny face that Gaige used to make when he was about 9-12 months old! It was so cute and so funny!
My Monster: Mason is strong willed and big hearted. He makes every situation light and airy. His personality is funny and loud. There is definitely never a dull moment with him in the room! He has grown into his own little person who loves to be outdoors and get dirty. He's finding his love for sports. And he is definitely his brothers biggest fan! He is also a definite momma's boy who finally found his love for cuddling at nearly 2 1/2 years old! Also at 2 1/2 years Mason decided he no longer liked being clothed, so he normally ran around in only his undies!
I have known since I was a little girl that I wanted to be a mother. Little did I know then, the amazing incredible, and sometimes overwhelming feelings that would come along with that!
With Gaige we had been trying for a few months so I wasn't expecting the double pink line to show up that Friday morning January 25, 2008. So many emotions happened when I looked down and saw that extra pink line, though faint, still there! I announced it to my husband, Tim, by filling his top drawer with diapers, a bib, and a onzie! We couldn't hold our news in too long and announced it to our families in mid February!
Again with Mason we had been trying for a few months, but I just knew that I was pregnant by my symptoms. I started testing the second week of October 2011, but kept receiving negative results. I struggled with this because I could just tell that my body was trying to change. Finally on October 22, 2011 I got that positive test I had been waiting for! I announced it to Tim by putting Gaige in a big brother tshirt! Again, we couldn't hold our news in too long so as we were trick-or-treating that year we let Gaige take off his costume at each grandparents house and he was wearing his big brother tshirt underneath!
With Gaige I had that feeling that he was a boy from pretty early on. With Mason my symptoms during pregnancy were so different that I had my thoughts of him being a girl...although I wouldn't trade two boys for the world!
With Gaige I had a very easy, wonderful, uneventful pregnancy! I enjoyed every minute and milestone of it! With Mason I was more exhausted and ached a little more, but I still soaked up every minute and milestone of it!
My husband was gone from September 7-11, 2008 for training in Kentucky. I had my doctor check me the week prior to him leaving although I was only 37 1/2 weeks along. He assured me that I would make it through the next week, but that I probably wouldn't make it to my due date of October 1. Tim got home at 7pm Thursday and I woke up to my water breaking at 3am Friday morning! Talk about good timing! I labored at home on the couch for some time wondering if this was really happening and at 6:30am we headed to the hospital. They confirmed my water had broken and at my contractions were 1 1/2 minutes apart. I opted to receive the epidural and 9:30am they got me medicated! My contractions became further and further apart so at 11:30am I asked them to decrease the epidural and vowed that I would try to go without the next time around! After 15 hrs of labor and nearly 2 hours of pushing, our precious red-headed baby, Gaige Edwin was born at 5:44pm! He was completely perfect in every single way! Emotions swept over me as they laid him on my chest and I became a mommy! I calmed his crying immediately with the sound of my voice, and I knew in that moment that this is what my life was meant for doing!
Mason was a little more stubborn! I labored every night for an entire week with him! Losing my mucus plug on June 4 and having consistent contractions every night from about 1am-6am for that entire week! Finally on Monday I had enough and went to the doctor, he didn't even want me to go back home because he was certain I would go into labor and not make it back to the hospital! I went home and enjoyed one last evening with my family of 3! Gaige and I had took a walk and then played in the sprinkler in our clothes! The next morning I stayed home from work from being up all night with contractions holding steady at 7 minutes apart and my husband got home around 10:30am for us to head to the hospital. We were placed in a triage room at 12:00pm and told at 2:30pm that they would probably be sending us home because my contractions weren't consistent enough and varying at 5-7 minutes apart. I was devastated because I was over being in labor! My doctor assured me that he would not let that happen and at 5pm we received the great news that we would be admitted! We took a little walk to stretch our legs and when we got back to our triage room my contractions were intense and coming on quickly! The on call doctor broke my water at 6:03pm and with quick progression and no time for medication, I gave birth to our amazing strawberry-blonde Mason Eugene at 7:22pm! When they placed him on my chest I was relieved to be holding him and felt my love grow bigger than I ever thought possible! He was perfect and precious and completed our family in every way! But my extremely intense moment was when Gaige climbed up in the bed with me to meet his baby brother, every hair on my body stood on its end and my heart nearly exploded with love and joy!
It was very emotional leaving the hospital for that first time with our fresh new Gaige! I was nervous, excited, happy, and anxious! Learning everything for that first time was a bit overwhelming to say the least! With a little remaining jaundice, we spent a few days of our first week running to have levels checked! Gaige was 3 months when he started sleeping through the night for us!
Leaving the hospital for the second time was an "ok I'm ready" feeling! Missing Gaige and wanting to be with my entire family under one roof was beyond describable! Mason's jaundice didn't show up until day 4 and he had to be wrapped at home but we quickly brought it down in his first week! This little guy was a much more stubborn than his brother and didn't sleep through the night until almost 8 months! YIKES!
Being a mother is the most incredible experience of my lifetime! Watching these babies grow into little boys and one day men, is the biggest blessing I have ever been given! They have taught me so much about unconditional love and patience!
I believe that we, as mothers, all go through struggles of some sort! Motherhood is a major adjustment whether it's planned or a surprise. Personally as a mother I struggle to remember myself. I get caught up in the day to day and the quickness of their childhood and desire to soak up every single moment of it. This sometimes leads to me forgetting that I need to still be the "me" I was before motherhood from time to time!
The best part of being a mom is the feelings that I get when I look into their beautiful blue eyes or watch them sleeping soundly. Completely indescribable!
The most challenging thing for me is seeing sadness within those eyes. And although I know that this is part of life and sadness will come and go, it is still heart wrenching to watch my boys go through that! As a mom, you never want to see your children hurting!
My husband has been my number one support through this amazing ride, but right next to him stands my mother. After all, what little girl doesn't want to grow up to be just like her momma? She is my biggest hero now and forever, and I'm struggling she is the first person I call!
Surprises are around every single corner in motherhood! I could never pick just one thing that has caught me off guard! What I wish someone would've told me was to prepare myself for the fullest heart in the world! Motherhood fills up places in your heart your weren't even aware were empty. And although the struggles are real, each day is a fresh start so remember to make the memories count!
I wish I could hold onto their innocence! I wish that they could always see the world through the eyes they look through now! No bad or evil, fun in everything they do, and pure joy just from living! I wish they could stay as carefree as they are today!
Wow, do I ever have fears! I'm sure those fears will always be with me, even as they grow, and graduate, and marry, and become fathers, I will always have fears for them. I deal with these by praying that they ALWAYS know they have somewhere to go and someone to lean on. No matter what the situation, their dad and I will always and forever be here for them!

Be your own original parent! Don't let others tell you how to raise or what is best for your family! A mother honestly knows best!
Each day is a brand new day where your child is older and smarter. Remember to laugh, play, cuddle, and love. Make moments count as memories!
I believe that our children have the power to change the world! We just help them have the confidence to do so!
This is by far the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever done in my entire life! I am so thankful that God chose these incredible little boys for me to raise! I'm truly blessed beyond measure!
To my amazing, incredible, loving boys:
I can't thank God enough for choosing me to be your momma! You both have changed me in more ways than I ever thought possible! You have been the biggest blessings in my life. I pray that you always know and feel the depth of my love for each of you!
My hopes for you as you grow are that you find peace and happiness everywhere you go. I pray every night that you will grow into loving, caring, and generous men who give life their all! Never be afraid to take a shot at something, even if you think you won't succeed. The only risks you'll ever regret are the ones you didn't take! Smile wide and never let anyone make you believe you are less than you are! You are both incredibly amazing and I cannot wait to see where life takes you!
Life is an adventure and only you can write your journey! Dream big my babies, but never forget where your roots are! Daddy and I will be here always and forever, no matter what! Remember that we are so completely proud of you both, always have been....always will be! God is by your side in everything you do, always remember to say your prayers and count all of your blessings in life!
I love you beyond measure or words Gaige and Mason! Thank you for making my life complete and happy and full of love! You are my world!
With all my love, Your Momma

The bus driver who offered me a free ride for a song was driving the 94 again yesterday.
"We've missed you, been waiting for you," he said. "There's room right here on the wheel well for your guitar case."
The boy with the earbuds grinned and shoved over to make room for a woman with guitar, and a few of the passengers further back smiled at me, clearly aware of what was coming -- a song from a stranger.
I unpacked my guitar, telling the busdriver, "You weren't driving the last time I rode this bus, but I had such a bad cold that you wouldn't have wanted me to croak anything out."
"You seem fine today," he observed.
So I sat down and sang my favourite joke song (don't you think there should be a music category like that?), 'The Preacher and the Bear.' This time, no one applauded, but they laughed at the punchline. Then I packed up my guitar again, and chatted with the driver about this and that until we arrived at the university where I got off.
The driver said, "You made the day of some of my riders. If you can do that, why not?" And I agreed. But next time, I think I'll sing an audience participation song. Hey Jude, maybe?
Last night I searched the internet for 'The Preacher and the Bear,' a song that my Uncle Richard recorded in the early '70s with the Macklin Alouettes on the only record they ever made. It's a song that has stayed with me for reasons unknown -- I guess because it's a cute, clean joke with a catchy tune. I've sung it on several occasions, sometimes to pull the leg of clergy friends (substituting "Fr. Jim, he went a walking," for the opening line). It usually gets a chuckle or two.
There are some interesting versions of the song on YouTube, but they all leave the poor preacher stuck in a tree, including my favourite find by the Jubalaires, which is almost more like slam poetry than the song I sing.
I love how the story of the preacher and his grizzly nemesis are the verses between "That a-old-time-a-relid-gion-brother..."
Of course, I much prefer Uncle Richard's version of the story in which the two opponents go their separate ways, one somewhat triumphant and other unscathed. Not finding anything like it on YouTube, I've recorded my own version in an effort to keep the song alive -- I don't imagine too many people are listening to the Macklin Alouettes these days, and I'm not sure where the Alouettes found the song to begin with. Maybe they invented their own version? Complete with the sound of a boxing ring bell ('Ding! One round for the bear!').
So here's 'The Preacher and the Bear,' especially for Uncle Richard, for my friends and readers, and, as I said, as a record of a song that I can't find anywhere else. I'm glad for these electronic ways we have of preserving the stories and songs of the past (those Jubalaires have some pretty great old tunes if you have time to listen)... and I'm also grateful that I have a voice to sing one or two of them for my own enjoyment. It's not a great voice, but it's a good story. Enjoy!

Cutting boards can double for function and decor or art….
Dip dye them for a fun DIY and hang an assortment in a gallery wall style..
Layer with canisters and lean against the backsplash…
I love the molding details with the classic subway tile and minimal bulb pendant. The cutting board is the same stain as the wood on the chair legs and floor…
I like the cutting boards sold at Marshalls because they are affordable and come in a variety of stains and designs.

Dealing every day with a mental illness is hard enough. Dismissive comments can be like salt on an open wound, although it's usually due to a lack of understanding, or that person's own difficulties with tolerating emotional pain. One way to respond when someone dismisses your depression or bipolar disorder is practicing self compassion. Avoid letting the things others say fuel your inner critic. Instead, it's important to treat yourself with kindness. Remind yourself that your struggles with a mood disorder are real and legitimate. You might tell yourself: "It's too bad that they don't understand me, but I don't have to make it even worse by doubting my own feelings or experiences."

When the Federal Housing Administration was created in 1934, prospects were bleak in the housing market. Out of ten families, only four were able to own homes. Two million construction workers were jobless and The Great Depression was at its peak. Traditional mortgage requirements were far too steep for the vast majority to meet. FHA loans opened up a way for more Americans to realize their dreams of owning a home.
How Does FHA Financing Work?
The goal in 1934 was to create an alternative loan option for those who could not meet the traditional requirements, while also boosting growth in the housing market. This is accomplished in two ways. The Federal Government provides financial backing to approved lenders through mortgage insurance. Because the lender has some protection in case a homeowner fails to make a payment on the mortgage, they can take greater risks when considering potential homeowners. FHA is also the only government program that is not dependent on taxpayer's dollars. Mortgage insurance payments are poured back into the account that is used to operate the program. All expenses are covered by self-generated income. Because it can operate without burdening the economy, a substantial stimulus is created in the housing market, which means more jobs for construction workers, building suppliers, etc. and more potential homeowners! This is the beauty of FHA financing. Out of poverty and restriction we have growth and opportunity!
Financial Benefits in More Lenient Requirements
The most profound advantage to someone seeking this type of loan is a lower down payment. While conventional loans require anywhere from five to twenty percent of the total loan amount upfront, these loans come in as low as 3.5 percent. For a $300,000 conventional loan you will make a down payment in the range of $15,000-$60,000. With an FHA loan you could pay as little as $10,500. If you have ever tried to make big purchases on an average American income, you know how significant this is. The lower the down payment, the easier it is to procure, possibly from friends or family. It can make the difference between none achievable and believable.
There is the option to include closing costs in the overall loan which means even less money is required upfront. This type of loan is assumable, so if you decide to sell your home it may be assumed by, or transferred to, the potential buyer. Another key advantage is that you can qualify with a credit score much lower than is required by a traditional loan. Even if you have gone through bankruptcy or been foreclosed upon in the past, you may still be able to qualify for a Federal loan. A lender will take into consideration all of the borrower's information; a negative in one area can be balanced out by a positive in another.
Disadvantages to Consider
The most significant downside to this type of mortgage is that insurance is required. This includes a premium that is either paid in full up front or added onto the loan, as well as a monthly payment. The Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) is 1.75% of the loan and must be paid at closing or worked into the financing for the mortgage. So for a $200,000 loan you would pay a premium of $3500. This rate remains the same no matter what your credit score is.
The Annual MIP is a monthly charge that will be figured into every mortgage payment. The percentage is calculated according to the length and size of your loan. They also use your Loan To Value (LTV) ratio, which is the total amount of the loan divided by the actual appraised value of the property being purchased. For example, if you purchase a home for $200,000 and the appraised value is $250,000, your ratio is 80%. As the percentage goes up the likelihood of the lender taking a loss increases and the loan becomes riskier. A low percentage figures in to a lower annual MIP. It is especially beneficial to a borrower who has other high-risk characteristics such as low credit score and high loan amounts. The good news is that if you are purchasing a single-family home with an LTV of 78 percent or less and a term of 15 years or less you will not have to pay an annual premium at all.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the house being purchased must meet certain requirements and be appraised by an approved appraiser in order to qualify for this type of loan. There is also a limit to the size of the loan that differs from county to county.
With nearly thirty-four million insured properties since its founding, the FHA offers many benefits and considerations to the 99% of Americans with less than ideal circumstances. If you have been through hard times financially but still want to provide a home for your children and grandchildren, a federally backed loan may be the answer to your prayers.


text: An update to the "missing" skein saga. Look what the postman left me yesterday… two skeins of Natural Dye Studio alpaca / merino! I had thought I would have a chance to purchase these – but Amanda of NDS sent them out to me free of charge. (and it was not her fault at all that the first skein went missing). I am so pleased and impressed with her outstanding customer service. So here's another "plug", Natural Dye Studio. You want this yarn – it's heaven to knit with, and just a little heavier than fingering, makes for a cushy, quick knit. Thank you, Amanda!

In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
The best depth finders can not only help you find where the fish are but can also tell you how far down under the surface you need to go to get them. We sacrificed our time and spent a lot of time fishing to research some of the best brands and top selling fishing depths finders. The result? Our fish depth finder reviews. Before we get started, let's look at some key features to know before you start shopping.
Display Size: The screen size varies with these tools. Some are so small that you can even wear them around your neck. Others will have to be mounted. Generally, the larger the screen, the easier you can see it.
Max Depth: These max depths on these machines range from 200 to 1500 feet. Where you fish determines what you need. If you keep to lakes or rivers, you don't need that same max depth as someone who's ocean fishing.
Transmit Power: This is the strength of the "ping" and it's measured in RMS. So, what does that mean? The higher the power, the stronger the signal is that's sent into the water to figure out depth and find fish.
Alarms: Alarms aren't necessary but they do make your fish and depth finder more useful. You don't have to stare at the screen, just wait for the right alarm and you'll be alerted to what's going on.
Color Display: You can certainly have a great fishing trip without one, but a color display makes it so much easier to determine what's actually happening on the screen. You can distinguish between different things more easily when they're in color.
Warranty: Think about it: these items are going to be used outside, in the sun, in bad weather at times, around water. A good warranty is important because, to put it bluntly, there's a lot that can go wrong.
All right, we've covered some of the most important things you need to know about fishing and depth finders. That means it's time to dive into our reviews. If you're running short on time, the best place to start is with our top and budgets picks, the first 2 items on our list. Stick around if you can, the products that round out our top 10 are all pretty great. All right, let's get right to it!

and no, I am not referring to a '65 Mustang with the top down.
Even thought that would be nice.
I mean all things are convertible. They can be changed. They aren't always what they appear.
My shirt, you ask? It's a dress.
I tuck dresses into jeans, or even skirts, all the time to turn them into tops. It is just a little trick of mine, and it can basically double your wardrobe.

Whoever said a garage has to be grimy and greasy has never been to Christophers Car Care!
Tallmadge Ohio
Herb H of Tallmadge Ohio
"For my money Dave Christopher is the top service garage anywhere. Thorough, honest. prompt. When I get a job done there I know it's going to be done right. I have been dealing with Christophers for years and have never had a bad job. Whoever said a garage has to be grimy and greasy has never been to Christophers Car Care!"
I was recently recommended to contact Christopher's regarding service on my car and could not be happier with the professionalism, honesty and friendly customer service I have received.
Munroe Falls Ohio
Sue Tully of Munroe Falls Ohio
"I was recently recommended to contact Christopher's regarding service on my car and could not be happier with the professionalism, honesty and friendly customer service I have received. I highly recommend Christopher's for all of your service needs. You will be pleased at the honest quotes, one-on-one service you receive, which is a rare occurrance these days. The added feature of now posting your service history, etc. on line just shows how dedicated they are to providing the best service to current and future customers."
I would NEVER trust my car repair to anyone else! They treat you like family!
Akron Ohio
Virginia West of Akron Ohio
"Have been going to this auto repair shop in Tallmadge since I 1st started driving my car around the streets of Akron.....18 yrs ago...I would NEVER trust my car repair to anyone else! They treat you like family!"
They are really helpful, courteous, and reasonable in prices.
Cuyahoga Falls Ohio
David B. of Cuyahoga Falls Ohio
"David said everything they said they would do it was done. Everything's been great. They are really helpful, courteous, and reasonable in prices."
My family has had their work done at Christophers for at least 25 years. We have never been disappointed!
Stow Ohio
Christoper S. of Stow Ohio
"They did a great job replacing my brakes and rotors. Car was completed quickly and price was appriopriate for the work that they did. My family has had their work done at Christophers for at least 25 years. We have never been disappointed!"
What a blessing to have a company of such competency and integrity.
Richfield Ohio
Don S. of Richfield Ohio
"We have been going to Christopher's for about 25 years. What a blessing to have a company of such competency and integrity. We could not recommend them any more highly!"
I strongly recommend Christopher's Care Car to anyone, especially anyone with any type BMW, Mercedes or other vehicle in that very hard to repair category.
Atwater Texas
Thor Bryant of Atwater Texas
"My 2004 MINI Cooper S (150,000 miles) developed a power steering problem and an electrical issue and against my better judgment (at the time) took my vehicle to Christopher's Car Care. I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness of not only the shop, but the entire facility as well as the courtesy of the staff and the professionalism of "Dave". MINI Coopers are generally conceived as "cute" little cars, but are in fact extremely intricate and complicated "little cars"...manufactured by BMW which adds to their degree of difficulty to repair. Since I personally (and ultimately unfairly in this case) rate auto repair shops right down there with plumbers and root canals, I was expecting to get laid away; my Texas license plates not working in my favor. My vehicle was COMPLETELY repaired (beyond my expectations) in half the estimated time and at a price of roughly 40% less than the nearest MINI Cooper dealer with 75% less aggravation usually associated with dealers. Without reservation, I strongly recommend Christopher's Care Car to anyone, especially anyone with any type BMW, Mercedes or other vehicle in that very hard to repair category."
Christoper's Is Second To None! Don't Consider Anyone Else!
Akron Ohio
Mark Anderson of Akron Ohio
"Christoper's Is Second To None! Don't Consider Anyone Else! If you want the best quality service and fair price on fixing your car, Christopher's is the best! They never ever tell you, "hey, you should fix this too", they tell recommend repairs based on putting your safety first! Very clean and well kept shop and the most welcoming staff you could ever want! Don't go anywhere else!"
Christopher's has a professional, friendly team and do excellent work.
Akron Ohio
Katie Ford of Akron Ohio
"Christopher's has a professional, friendly team and do excellent work. They've worked on several of our cars over the past 5 years or so and are always honest, helping us to fit higher priority repairs into a tight budget, letting us know what is urgent and what can wait and won't affect safety or long-term health of the car. Pricing is fine - definitely less expensive than going to a dealer. And, the Christophers and their team are all great! "
We always get exceptional service and treatment! I have and will continue to recommend Christopher's to family and friends.
Akron Ohio
George DeBord of Akron Ohio
"I have used Christopher's for several years. We have had as many as four vehicles at the house because of kids driving and they have all been serviced by Dave and his staff. We always get exceptional service and treatment! I have and will continue to recommend Christopher's to family and friends."

Dave Christopher Sr
Linda Christopher
Dave Jr. started working for his dad in the very beginning when Dave Sr. opened the doors for business at the current location in Tallmadge, Ohio. Prior to that Dave Sr. owned several service stations throughout the Akron area where Dave Jr. worked his way through high school. After High School, Dave Jr. got his Associates degree in Automotive Technology from Northwestern Business College. He is currently an ASE certified master technician and an ASE Advanced Level Specialist. When Dave Sr. chose to retire in the fall of 2010, Dave Jr. stepped into his place. Dave Jr. strives to uphold his father's legacy and the core values that Christopher's Car Care was built around. History repeated itself once again in the summer of 2011 when Dave Jr.'s oldest child Mike came to work for him the same he had done over 30 years ago. Dave and his wife Sandy have two kids, Mike and Ashley, and their beloved dog Mickey. Dave is an avid outdoorsman; he enjoys spending time with his family, and going to all of his kids's events and activities.
Mike, Dave Jr's oldest child, is the third generation Christopher working at the shop. He started working at Christopher's Car Care in June of 2011. Mike is in charge of maintaining the website, as well as the online marketing. He also lends a helping hand in the front office by helping checking in and checking out customers. Mike graduated from The University of Akron in December of 2014, where he graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. Since graduating from The University of Akron, Mike has taken over as the office manager, where he handles the finances, payroll, and advertising.
Dave Christopher began his automotive career in 1963 as a brake mechanic for the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company. He then went on to own and operate a number of service stations in the Akron area between 1967 and 1981. When the opportunity arose for Dave and his wife Linda to open Christopher's Car Care in June of 1982, a long list of loyal clientele had already been established. Many of these same customers still frequent Christopher's Car Care today. Dave retired in 2010, and left the business to his oldest son Dave Jr. He is now trying to stay busy even though he is retired. Dave enjoys golfing, bike riding, and spending time with his dog "Cocoa". He also loves spending time with his family. He and Linda have fourteen grandchildren which they spend time with quite often.
Linda began with Dave in June, 1982, and has helped get this business to where it is today. She has recently retired from Christopher's Car Care.

If you're looking to embark on an AI project, the first step is to recruit the right team. This can be the most challenging part of the process as specialized AI talent is difficult to find.
According to the NYTimes, there are fewer than 10,000 qualified people in the world and universities are only graduating about 100 new candidates each year with the requisite skills. Further complicating matters are the myriad of job descriptions, titles, roles, skills and technologies used in the industry. What does all the terminology mean? And how do they fit into your recruiting strategies for hiring AI talent?

WISCAP chooses 'Big Hunger' for the staff pick of January.
Food banks and food pantries were meant to be a stopgap measure, but manufacturing jobs never came back, recession followed, and the "emergency food system" became an industry.
In Big Hunger, author Andrew Fisher argues that many key anti-hunger advocates are missing an essential element of the problem: economic inequality driven by low wages. His research finds that efforts to end hunger, reduce obesity, and reform farm subsidies are compromised by corporate interests.
Encouragingly, Big Hunger sets forth a vision for what we can do to put food banks out of business and solve hunger.

Our Lord's Revelations To St. Bridget (Birgitta) Of Sweden
The words of the glorious Virgin to Saint Bridget about how to dress and with what kind of clothes and ornaments her daughter should be adorned and clothed.
Seventh Revelation
"I am Mary who gave birth to the Son of God, true God and true man. I am the Queen of Angels. My son loves you with all of his heart. Therefore, you should love him. You should be adorned with the most proper clothes, and I will show you how and what kind they should be. Just as before you had an undershirt, a shirt, shoes, a cloak, and a brooch on your chest, so now you shall have spiritual clothes. The undershirt you shall have is contrition for your sins; for just as an undershirt is closest to the body, so contrition and confession are the first way of conversion to God. Through these the mind, which once enjoyed sin, is purified, and the unchaste flesh restrained from evil lusts. The two shoes are two intentions: namely, the will to make amendment for your past sins, and the will to do good and refrain from evil. Your shirt is hope in God; and just as a shirt has two sleeves, so may justice and mercy be paired with your hope, so that you will hope for the mercy of God, yet not forget his justice. Think about his justice and harsh judgment in such a way that you do not forget his mercy, for he does not work justice without mercy, or mercy without justice. The cloak is faith, for just as the cloak covers everything and everything is enclosed in it, man can likewise comprehend and attain all things by faith. This cloak should be decorated with the tokens of your Bridegroom's love namely, how he created you, how he redeemed you, how he raised you and led you into his spirit and opened your spiritual eyes. The brooch, which should always be on your chest, is the frequent consideration of his suffering: how he was mocked and scourged, how he stood alive on the cross, bloody and wounded in all his limbs, how in death his whole body shook from the most bitter pain and anguish, and how he commended his spirit into the hands of his Father. May this brooch always be on your chest! There should also be a crown on your head, which means that you should be chaste in your desires, so much so, that you would rather endure a beating and pain than to be further stained. Therefore, be modest and polite and do not think about or desire anything but your God and Creator – for when you have him, you have everything! Adorned in this way, you shall await your Bridegroom."
The words of the Queen of Heaven to her beloved daughter, Saint Bridget, teaching her how she should love and praise the Son of God together with his blessed Mother.
Eight Revelation
"I am the Queen of Heaven. You are concerned about how you should praise and honor me. Know and be certain that all praise of my Son also is praise of me, and those who dishonor him also dishonor me. This is so because I loved him and he loved me so ardently that both of us were like one heart. He so magnificently honored me, who was an earthen vessel, that he raised me above all the angels. Therefore, you should praise me like this:"
'Blessed be you, God, Creator of all things, who deigned to descend into the womb of the Virgin Mary! Blessed be you, God, who wished to be within the Virgin Mary without burdening her, and deigned to take immaculate flesh from her without sin! Blessed be you, God, who came to the Virgin, bringing joy to her soul and her whole body, and who went out of her without sin, to the joy of her whole body! Blessed be you, God, who after your heavenly ascension gladdened the Virgin Mary, your Mother, with continuous comforts and visited her with your consolation! Blessed be you, God, who assumed the body and soul of the Virgin Mary, your Mother, into heaven and honorably placed her above all the angels next to your Divinity! Have mercy on me for the sake of all her prayers!'
The words of the Queen of Heaven to her beloved daughter about the wonderful love the Son had for His Virgin Mother, and about how the Mother of Christ was conceived within the most chaste marriage and sanctified in the womb. She tells how she was assumed, body and soul, into Heaven, and about the power of her name, and about the good and evil angels assigned to men for their protection or trial.
Ninth Revelation
"I am the Queen of Heaven. Love my Son, for he is most worthy; when you have him, you have all that is worthwhile. He is also most desirable; when you have him, you have all that is desirable. Love him, too, for he is most virtuous; when you have him, you have every virtue. I want to tell you how wonderful his love for my body and soul was and how much he honored my name. My Son loved me before I loved him, since he is my Creator. He united my father and mother in a marriage so chaste that there could not be found a more chaste marriage at that time. They never wanted to come together except in accordance with the Law, and only then with the intention to bring forth offspring. When an angel revealed to them that they would give birth to the Virgin from whom the salvation of the world would come, they would rather have died than to come together in carnal love; lust was dead in them. I assure you that when they did come together, it was because of divine love and because of the angel's message, not out of carnal desire, but against their will and out of a holy love for God. In this way, my flesh was put together by their seed and through divine love. Then, when my body had been made and formed, God infused the created soul into it from his divinity, and the soul was immediately sanctified along with the body, and the angels guarded and served it day and night. When my soul was sanctified and joined to its body, my mother felt such great joy that it would have been impossible to describe it! Afterwards, when my lifetime had been accomplished, my Son first raised up my soul – for it was the mistress of the body – to a more excellent place than others in heaven, right next to his Divinity. Later, he also raised up my body in such a manner that no other creature's body is so close to God as mine. See how much my Son loved my soul and body! Yet, there are some people with a malevolent spirit who deny that I was assumed into Heaven, body and soul, and also others who simply do not know any better. But this is a most certain truth: I, with body and soul, was assumed to the Divinity! Hear now how much my Son honored my name! My name is Mary, as it is said in the Gospel. When the angels hear this name, they rejoice in their mind and thank God for the great mercy that he worked through me and with me and because they see my Son's Humanity glorified in his Divinity. Those within the fire of purgatory rejoice exceedingly, just like a sick and bedridden man does if he receives a word of comfort that pleases his soul: he is suddenly overjoyed! When the good angels hear my name, they immediately move closer to the righteous for whom they are guardians, and rejoice over their progress in good deeds and virtues. All humans have been given both good angels for their protection, and bad angels to test them. The good angels are not separated from God; they serve the soul without leaving God. They are constantly in his sight. Yet they work to inflame and incite the soul to do good. All the demons, however, shudder with fear at the name of Mary! When they hear the name, "Mary", they immediately release a soul out of the claws with which they had held her. Just as a bird or hawk, with its claws and beak embedded into its prey, releases it immediately if it hears a sound, but soon returns when it sees that no action follows, so do the demons – frightened when they hear my name – release the soul. But they return and fly back as fast as an arrow if no improvement follows. No one is so cold in his love of God (unless he is damned) that he will not experience the devil releasing him from his habitual sins if only he invokes my name with the true intention of never returning to his evil deeds. The devil will never return to him unless he resumes the will to commit mortal sins. Sometimes, though, the devil is allowed to trouble him for the sake of his greater reward. However, the devil shall never own him."

I have no idea what "Game of Thrones" is. Literally no idea. I don't know if it's a game, a TV show, a movie or all three. I see and hear it referenced everywhere, but I simply haven't engaged at any level. I refuse to even Google it to see if I'm spelling it correctly. I'm totally sitting this one out.
I hope it's the right call. I made a similar decision with "Homeland" for a while, and when I finally decided to watch Season 1 I was like "What? Why didn't someone tell me loudly this was so good?" But by that time, everyone except my friend Patti was done talking about it. The Homeland Season 2 DVD is now available for pre-order on Amazon, but it will likely be Christmas before I can watch it online over here. I might as well skip it because I haven't had the same restraint in Googling spoilers for Season 2 and hearing the overwhelming chorus of meh. On the bright side, I suppose I've saved a little time.
I'm of the age when I open up a "People" magazine and only have about 50% celebrity recognition. This move to Europe is only going to set me further behind. I can't even count on hair salons here to have "People" magazine for my every two month pop culture trivia catch up. They're still playing Celine Dion music in hair salons as near as I can tell. I do however know that Halle Barry is pregnant. This caught my attention because I know who she is, and that she is in her forties. You go girl – glad you kicked that sex addict second husband of yours and then that gorgeous but no-good model Gabriel (see I was doing good in earlyish 2000s) – but pregnant at 46? Hearing that makes me tired, and so happy my husband has taken care of business. I do know about the band "The Airborne Toxic Event." That's only because I know a couple of really cool high school kids who I stalk for music and have some fortish friends like Jennifer who go and listen to live music and rightly report it on Facebook.
In the advent of unlimited access to so much news, you have to learn to sift. When I was back home, if I'm being honest, I used to sift out most International News. Now that I'm in Europe, I find I'm reading more International News and sifting out most US Entertainment News and US News of People Behaving Badly (ie "Ex-Partner at KPMG Under Scrutiny in Insider Trading.) Of course, people still behave badly, really badly, internationally - take Kim Jong-un or Bashar al-Assad for instance – but those stories are getting more of my mind share. It seems to matter what those guys are up to a little bit more than who was on Letterman last night. It's not as if this kind of news wasn't available before, I'm just choosing a little better. It's easier for me to recognize how globally interdependent our world is becoming with a border only 50 kilometers away. Not that I'm doing anything specific with that knowledge, but it's nice to fill my mind with other things or nothing at all, and to not feel caught off guard by not knowing about who is Throning who.
Ok, Lindsay Lohan was on Letterman last night.
I'm only slightly more disciplined.

Top trends sighted at Colombia Fashion Week
Aug 03, 2019 | By Sidney Morgan-Petro
Sep 21, 2011
London: Departing completely from their grunge looks of a few seasons ago, Antipodium went in a softer, but still subversive, direction for S/S 12. Dubbed "Interiors," by Creative Director Geoffrey Finch, the collection aimed to capture the "dark, beautiful and slightly sinister side of the familiar," via twists on classics like varsity jackets, cotton frocks and button up blouses. Grounded by a 70s palette of pumpkin, avocado and beige, touches of monochrome white, aquamarine and princess pink kept everything seasonally appropriate, while bold head-to-toe conversational prints and shiny black leather added edge. Trend conscious but witty, Antipodium always exemplifies the young London look. —Nina Stotler
Silhouette: Loose / Fluid / A-line / Body skimming / Dropped waist / Relaxed fit
Color: White / Beige / Avocado / Pumpkin / Black / Banana / Brown / Grey / Pastels / Aquamarine
Key Items: Shirt dresses / Small collar blouses / A-line skirts / Shifts / Cropped trousers / Sleeveless coats / Relaxed blazers / Varsity jackets
Materials: Lace / Felt / Satin / Cotton / Chiffon / Leather / Cotton knits / Stretch knits

and possibly other scanners with the 108-136 MHz Aero Band
Revised November 3, 1997
This article/file is for the public benefit.
(c) 1995-97
This article/file is for personal use only and may NOT be placed on a CD-ROM nor any other media that conveys, stores, or transports for any monetary cost, without expressed permission of the author. This article/file can only be given away, absolutely free of charge.
-Bill Cheek-
PRELIMINARY NOTE: This article is self-contained and you really don't need any other supporting materials other than the service manual for your scanner. Bear in mind, however, that only so much detail can be in an ASCII text file like this. If you want more detail than offered here, a hard-copy laser printed version of this article, complete with professionally rendered graphics is available for US$5.00, ppd. See my signature box at the end of this article for addresses, phone
numbers, etc.
What is an "S-Meter"? Well, it stands for "signal meter" and is used to provide an "RSL" (received signal level) idication of the strength of the incoming signal. S-Meters are all calibrated pretty much in the same fashion with two scales. The first 2/3 of the metering range is calibrated in "S-units", a fairly linear scale of 0-9. The units are read as S1, S5, S9, etc. S9 is the calibration point, generally meaning a signal at that strength is 100-microvolts, but mnufacturers sometimes use 25-uV or 50-uV as the reference for S9 signals.
The relative signal difference between S-units is typically 6 dB per S-unit, between S0 and S9, but in practice this can vary widely, from as little as 3 dB per S-unit to 7 or 8 dB per S-unit. Unless you know different, it's okay to figure 6 dB of RF change between S-units 0-9.
The last 1/3 of the scale is calibrated in decibels (dB) over S9 and is, of course, a
logarithmic scale, typically in three 10dB sections though some meters go to 60 dB over
Up to this point, you may think that S-Meters are useful only for measuring the relative strength of incoming signals, but think about it for a minute. What determines the strength of signals going into your receiver? More specifically, what factors are under YOUR control that determine received signal levels? I can think of at least four things right off: antenna type; antenna height; coaxial cable quality and length; and the correctness or precision of the receiver's electronic alignment (internal adjustments).
Therefore, there are a number of things you can do around your monitoring post that will affect the strength of received signals. Wouldn't it be nice to know if something you did had a beneficial or harmful effect? Sure! That's one powerful use for an S-Meter.
As an example, say you want to change out your coax cable and want to be sure the new stuff is better than the old. So first tune to a known consistent signal such as a NOAA weather station or perhaps an 800 MHz control data signal. Write down the S-meter reading. Then change out the coax (or elevate the antenna, etc). Then write down the new
S-meter reading and compare the two. You'll know if you did� right or wrong.
Many scanners are capable of supporting an easy to build and install S-Meter! Most Realistic scanners made by GRE-Japan with the civilian aero band, 108-136 MHz, can support this low cost, high performance S-Meter modification.
It takes special circuitry for a scanner to receive Amplitude Modulated (AM) signals because AM is an uncommon mode in the VHF/UHF spectrum. In fact, AM is used pretty much exclusively for civilian aircraft comms on 108-136 MHz and military aero comms on 225-400 MHz. Most scanner signals are Narrow FM (NFM). Wide FM (WFM) is used in
the FM Broadcast band, 88-108 MHz, TV audio signals; and studio-transmitter-links. Everything else is pretty much NFM.
Therefore, most scanners are designed strictly with NFM in mind, and will not have either AM or WFM capability except as a costlier extra feature. That's why you pay more for scanners that have the civilian aero band, and more still for those with the military aero band.
If your Realistic scanner has the AM mode, and it will, if it has the civilian aero
band, then chances are good that we can take advantage of its extra circuitry to add the
simple, low cost S-metering function.
Scanners known or strongly thought to be capable of this easy S-Meter mod include the following listed in Table 1:
CAVEAT: Many of Radio Shack's later scanners are made by Uniden, the design of which leaves so much to be desired that this version of the S-Meter is probably not feasible. There may be other alternatives but are beyond the scope of this document.
If your scanner is not listed in Table 1, the best way to determine applicability of this procedure to your scanner is to review the main schematic diagram for your receiver section, and compare it to the circuit of IC-2, Q-12, Q-13, and D-33 of the PRO-2006. This circuit is used in all the above compatible scanners, and is required for this version of my S-Meter mod. Specifically, you will look for the NFM chip and AM detector diode shown in Table 2 further below.
The AM section of the PRO-2006 is almost identical to the AM circuits for the scanners listed in Table 1. Each of these scanners takes itsAM signal from the output of the 455 kHz IF filter that's attached to the NFM Discriminator chip. Part of the IF signal goes back into the NFM chip for NFM signals as needed. The other leg of this "Y" is that part of the signal that goes on to a separate AM processor. The key thing here is that both circuits are used full time. Special switch
circuits do the controlling of which mode is actually in use, but the circuits are still on full-time. That's why we are able to use the AM circuit to power our S-Meter
The key point here is that you must identify and use the cathode of the AM Detector Diode as the pickoff point for your S-Meter signal. If your scanner is capable of this mod, it will have an AM circuit almost identical to that of the PRO-2006. Find it, and then locate the AM detector diode. The diode's banded end is the cathode where the S-Meter signal will be tapped.
For base scanners, build the simple circuit in Fig-1 on a bit of perfboard. For handheld scanners where space is at a premium, it may be best to not use a board, and just build the circuit of Fig-1 directly into the scanner, part by part. Start by soldering C1 to the cathode of the AM detector diode, and the anode of D1 to a handy ground. Then build the rest of the circuit around those two components. Following is Fig-1, the schematic of the S-Meter circuit.
Build the following simple circuit left of Points A and B on a piece of perfboard. The circuit to the right of A and B is optional, explained further below.
|<-------Build on perfboard------->| |<--Project Box-->| in scanner o-------| Connect | | to Y .01-uF 1N34A A C v | Cathode>----||-----o--->|------o-----o----< (+) <--o-/\/\/\----o <+> detector | | | 5-k | diode --- --- \ Trimpot ( CB ) in 1N34A ^ --- / (Jack) ( type ) scanner | .01-uF | 68k\ (Plug) (S-Meter) | | | | Ground >-----------o-----------o-----o----< (-) <--------------o <-> Z B D
|<--------keep leads short-------->| |<--Any length ok-->|
THE PARTS: Radio Shack stocks the parts shown in Fig-1 except for the S-Meter. Diodes must be germanium, 1N34A or 1N60. Capacitors should be ceramic disks. Resistor (56k-100k) and trim-pot (3k-10k) are not critical. The circuit of Fig-1 must be as shown. If you use an external CB-type S-meter, so much the better....just build the meter of choice into an attractive or functional project box with a cable of any length from the box to Points C and D which should be wired to a male phono plug of some sort.
Most any analog CB-type S-Meter is ideal for this project, but the larger the face, the more readable it will be. There are thousands of junked CB rigs all over the planet, and most any CB or radio shop will have a bin full of them. The cost of a salvaged S-Meter should be negligible.
The scanner should have a mating female jack connected to Points A & B, installed in an out-of-the-way place for the plug from the external meter.
Keep the Point Y lead length very short, not more than an inch.
Connect Point Z to scanner PCB or chassis ground and keep that lead short, not more than 1 inch.
Connect Point Y of the S-Meter circuit via a very short wire to the cathode of:

Other Scanners: This mod may work with other scanners that have the civilian aero band of 108-136 MHz. If your scanner has 108-136 MHz and is not listed above, then find the last 455 kHz IF section, and locate the AM detector. Connect Point Y to the cathode or IF-side of the AM detector diode.
NOTE: While this mod probably won't work with Uniden scanners nor Radio Shack scanners made by Uniden, a little R&D and experimenting on a Uniden aero-band scanner could prove successful. I don't own any Uniden scanners, but can assist you in your R&D if and only if you and I both have a copy of the service manual for your scanner. Contact me
by e-mail if interested.
WRAP-UP DETAILS: Points A and B are the metering points where any DC voltmeter can be used. S-Meter signal range will be about 0-1v. The circuit of C and D is an optional CB type S-Meter, and should be used external to the scanner. Therefore, it is ideal to wire A and B (length not critical) to a phono jack on the rear panel of the scanner for easy connection of the external meter. Use 1/8" or RCA phone jacks for base scanners and 3/32" submini phone jacks for handhelds.
METER CALIBRATION: Any DC voltmeter can be used directly at A and B including a bargraph LED display. If an external S-meter circuit is desired, then wire it as shown. Use a walkie talkie or other transmitter to send a strong signal into the scanner, and adjust the trimpot so that the meter reads exactly full scale. All other signals will then read proportionally lower. Too cool for words!
METER LIGHTING: You can embellish your S-Meter with a small pilot lamp behind it to illuminate the face. Many CB meters have such a lamp built into the body of the meter. You may have to tap 12-volts or other power from the scanner for the lamp, or provide external power, like for handhelds.
SUPPORT: I do not supply S-meters. I can provide other parts including printed circuit boards, assembled or as a kit. I will provide technical support of this project on the public network forums and/or by e-mail; never by phone. See the beginning of this article if you need a hard copy version of this article.
MOD BOARD INSTALLATION HINTS: Most modification circuit boards really need no special effort in the mechanical installation. I used to use fancy standoffs, bushings, and machine screws, nuts, and bolts, but no more, considering all my mods!
Now I loop a stiff #18-ga copper wire (RS# 278-1217) through a pair of� ground holes in my perfboard or printed circuit; solder it securely to the board; and then solder it to a ground on the main board.
I solder the #18-ga wire to a chassis sidewall, or in some cases, to a ground foil on the main receiver board. This mount is rigid, safe, and easy, not only to install, but also to remove if needed. A "glop" of hot-glue on the bottom of the mod board prevents accidental shorts below it.
Enjoy S-metering at its finest!

Hi Chris. We don't require 24 hour notice, or
any notice really. We will accept reservations same day if they
need it, and on rare occasions will take immediate reservations. As
long as the space is available and it's not conflicting with
another group using it, a setup, cleaning, etc, why not. Will
we be able to do a special setup for them or some other special
service on short notice? Maybe or maybe not depending on what is
already scheduled (or already set up/needing to be set up), but for
us most of those last minute reservations aren't usually picky
about what their setup is anyway, they're just happy to have a

Hawthorn is the common name for trees and shrubs within the genus Crataegus, which represents approximately 200 species throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Common hawthorn, or Crataegus monogyna, is widely cultivated as an ornamental shrub since it bears attractive foliage, pink blossoms and tiny red berries throughout the growing season, but it also works well as a hedging plant since the branches form a dense and nearly impenetrable wall that responds well to heavy pruning. Hawthorns grow well from fresh cuttings taken during the summer and winter months, but the cuttings root best when treated with powdered rooting hormone.
Things You'll Need
- 1-gallon nursery container
- Perlite
- Coarse sand
- Potting soil
- Pencil
- Anvil shears
- 0.2-percent IBA (indolebutyric acid) rooting hormone
Video of the Day
How to Grow Hawthorn Cuttings in Summer
Fill a 1-gallon nursery container with a mix of 1 part perlite, 1 part coarse sand and 2 parts potting soil. Firm the soil surface.
Poke a 5-inch-deep hole in the center of the soil mixture using a pencil or a dibble. Creating the hole will keep the rooting hormone from being knocked loose when planting the hawthorn cutting.
Take a 10-inch-long cutting from the tip of a leafy, young hawthorn branch in summer around early June. Select one without flowers or fruit.
Sever the hawthorn cutting with an angled cut just below a set of leaves. Use anvil shears or a budding knife to sever the cutting.
Remove the lower sets of leaves so approximately 4 to 5 inches at the base are completely defoliated. Brush the defoliated end with 0.2-percent IBA rooting hormone.
Insert the hawthorn cutting into the prepared hole in the rooting container. Push the soil mixture against the base. Pour 3 cups of water around the base of the cutting.
Set the nursery container outdoors in a partially shaded area with limited sun exposure. Avoid areas with direct sunlight for more than 45 minutes each day.
Add 3 to 4 cups of water to the soil whenever it feels dry 1 inch below the surface. Avoid adding water too liberally since wet soil might cause the cutting to rot.
Check for roots in 20 to 30 days. Tug on the stem where it emerges from the soil to feel if the hawthorn is stuck to the soil by roots.
Transplant the hawthorn cutting two weeks after rooting. Choose a planting site with fertile, draining soil and full sun.
How to Grow Hawthorn Cuttings in Winter
Prepare a rooting container as described in Steps 1 and 2 of Section 1. Make it ready in late winter around early February.
Select a 10- to 12-inch-long cutting from the tip of a mature hawthorn branch. Choose a cutting with dormant, barely swollen leaf buds and a diameter of approximately 1/4 inch.
Sever the cutting at a 45-degree angle using anvil shears or a budding knife. Make the cut just below a leaf node. Scrape off the lower two leaf nodes with the blade of the shears or knife.
Brush the exposed leaf nodes and base of the hawthorn cutting in 0.2-percent IBA rooting hormone. Tap the cutting to knock loose any caked-on or excess hormone.
Insert the hawthorn cutting to half its length into the prepared rooting container. Pour 3 to 4 cups of water around the base to settle the soil.
Set the nursery container against a south-facing wall that offers some protection from strong winds.
Check for roots in spring once daytime temperatures stay above 65 degrees F for 10 to 14 days. Tug on the hawthorn cutting to test if it is anchored by root growth.
Transplant the rooted hawthorn cutting into a permanent bed once it sets leaves. Select a planting site with fertile soil, good drainage and full sun.

Ben Harper, Lindsey Buckingham, Taj Mahal, Jonny Lang, Robert Cray, Marcus King & More!
We are proud to reveal the lineup for the 22nd Annual Doheny Blues Festival, an incredible mix of music icons, blues legends, and artists making their Doheny debut. This year is sure to sell out – so grab your tickets now!
The 2018 Doheny Blues Festival, entering its 21st year, will occur on May 19 & 20, 2018. After 20 successful years of bringing the world's finest Blues musicians to Orange County, we are also excited to announce our new venue, Dana Point's Sea Terrace Park. The award-winning festival will be reimagined at its new seaside home, with more intimate stage areas, elevated food and beverage offerings, and involvement from many local businesses in the Dana Point community.
The line-up of performers is taking shape now, and Early Bird Tickets will go on sale Wednesday, December 20 through DohenyBluesFestival.com.
In November, the Doheny Blues Festival was notified by the State of California Parks Department that it would have to find a new venue, despite a 20-year track record of producing its world-class festival, which draws fans from around the world. In 2017 alone, fans traveled to the Dana Point festival from 43 states and 12 countries.
Doheny Blues organizers met with community leaders from the City of Dana Point, the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce, local non-profit organizations as well as Visit Dana Point, the marketing collective representing the city's major hotels. All groups agreed that the Doheny Blues Festival is a signature event for the city of Dana Point and a successful collaboration was formed to save the festival by moving it to the coastal location of Sea Terrace Park, adjacent to Salt Creek Beach Park.
"We appreciate the support that the Dana Point community has shown towards the Doheny Blues Festival, and are truly excited about creating an amazing festival experience at Sea Terrace Park," says Rich Sherman, founder and CEO. "Dana Point is known as the town for music, with an array of musical genres being represented, and we take pride in the fact that the Doheny Blues Festival ushered in this era of local festivals," Sherman continues.
"The list of Blues legends and Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductees that have performed for the fans in Dana Point is incredible, including B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, John Lee Hooker and so many more. Blues music is an American art form that should be cherished and promoted, and we look forward to working with the City of Dana Point's Arts & Culture Commission to continue these efforts."
Jim Samuels, Chairman of Visit Dana Point, said "The Doheny Blues Festival is one of our city's premiere events, and has been for two decades, and we look forward to welcoming visitors to Dana Point on May 19 & 20, 2018. In addition to out-of-towners, many local residents attend the blues festival, which kicks off our summer season of tourism, so we are excited to continue the wonderful tradition of Dana Point's Doheny Blues Festival."
If you want to hear what a sticky hot evening in the heat of a Florida summer sounds like – listen to JJ Grey & Mofro. Take the song, "Fireflies" – when JJ poses the question "where did all the fireflies go?" you can almost feel the thick southern air and on "Lochloosa," JJ waxes poetic about the Florida swampland he calls home.
JJ Grey's music reflects his deep love of the slow-paced patch of dirt where he grew up and still lives on a chicken farm. He brings that southern blues out of the swamps and mixes it with some funky soul to give his music a blues/rock edge that stands out from the crowd.
JJ Grey's legendary live performances are a must-see and his tour almost never reaches the California coast, so don't miss this opportunity to experience JJ Grey & Mofro at the 20th Annual Doheny Blues Festival on Sunday, May 21st. www.dohenybluesfestival.com/tickets
Melissa Etheridge ruminates on the songs she grew up on and how they influenced her music in this behind-the-scenes video about the making of her "MEmphis Rock and Soul" album – a tribute to the legendary Memphis label, STAX Records.
Doheny Blues Festival is proud to present this Grammy Award-winning legend playing her STAX-inspired album during our 20th Anniversary celebration on May 21st at Doheny Beach in Dana Point. Don't miss your chance to see Melissa's tribute to STAX Records in person, get your tickets at: www.dohenybluesfestival.com/tickets

SXSW Day 1 - Getting on my bike/
First day in Austin, Texas for SXSW 2013 and it is overcast and drizzling. Lovely. But it is not cold which is a plus. I picked up my badge, got my goodie bag then schlepped half way across town to pick up my bicycle that I have rented for the next 10 days. The Red Baron. This has turned out to be a great way to get around SXSW as the traffic is a nightmare and the film venues are a bit spread out.
SXSW is expecting over 250,000 people for the Film, Interactive and Music programs. I am signed up for the Film Program and I went to a couple of talks for first timers at SXSW to get the lay of the land. The first panel was made up of local journalists and film makers who answered all the questions about screenings, networking and the best place to eat and drink. I took notes.
The second panel focused on the film program and was made up of film critics and journalists who gave us some recommendations for what to see, some tips and tricks and, of course, good places to eat and drink. Nice.
The opening film is The Incredible Burt Wonderstone starring Steve Carell and Jim Carrey and I am not going to see it, I don't care that is was co-written by Sweets from Bones, this is a big Hollywood comedy that I can see in two weeks at my local cinema. I am sure there will be some star spotting to do, but hey, I understand here at SXSW you pretty much bump into actors and directors on the street, so I am giving it a wide berth. I am fickle and my tune will change tomorrow and I fight and claw my way into the viewing of Richard Linklater's Before Midnight.
I am going to try and see the music documentary Sound City directed by Dave Grohl, which is about the recording studio Sound City. It should be very interesting.

Chicken Tetrazzini
This is heaven on a plate! The first time we ate this we looked at each other in disbelief. How could anything so easy be so good?
Chicken Tetrazzini
7 ounces spaghetti – broken into small pieces then cooked and drained
1/4 Cup butter
1/4 Cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 Cup chicken broth (I use a chicken bullion cube in a cup of hot water.)
1 Cup whipping cream
2 Tablespoons sherry
2 Cups cubed cooked chicken
1 can (3 ounce) sliced mushrooms – drained
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Start out by heat oven to 350 degrees and cooking the spaghetti.
Next melt butter over low heat. Blend in flour, salt and pepper. Keep cooking and stirring until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat. Stir in broth and cream. Heat to boiling, stirring the whole time. Boil for one minute. Add the sherry. Stir in the spaghetti, chicken and mushrooms. Pour into a square baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
You can use turkey instead of chicken.

Using WP Rocket with a CDN
CDN Compatibility: WP Rocket is generally compatible with most CDN providers, including Amazon Cloudfront, MaxCDN, KeyCDN and others. If you need information about Cloudflare, it's here:
Using WP Rocket with Cloudflare
In this article
Default: "Pull" CDN
A "pull" CDN (or "pull zone") will automatically import ("pull") files from your WordPress site. To use WP Rocket with a "pull" CDN, all you have to do is activating the Enable Content Delivery option, copy the CNAME (domain) given to you by your CDN provider and enter it in CDN CNAME field into the CDN tab of WP Rocket settings:
WP Rocket will rewrite all URLs for your assets (static files) that are added using WordPress functions, for example post thumbnails, stylesheets and the like.
Heads up! In case you see that an image is not being served from your CDN, it might be because your theme, or a plugin does not use a WordPress function to retrieve said image. In that case you can use a PHP function to add the image to your CDN.
Advanced: "Push" CDN
A "push" CDN (or "push zone") does not import any files from your website by itself; instead your website must send ("push") all required files to the CDN.
WP Rocket does not handle the push process itself. If you use a "push" CDN, you will need an extra plugin to send your assets.
Amazon Cloudfront
If you use Amazon Cloudfront as a "push" CDN, we recommend this plugin to get your assets uploaded to Cloudfront automatically:
Further reading on Cloudfront:
- What is Amazon Cloudfront? Developer Guide
- How to use Amazon Cloudfront to speed up your WordPress site
MaxCDN provide these resources for WordPress site administrators:
KeyCDN have a tutorial for setting up WP Rocket with their service here:
WP Engine
If your site is hosted at WP Engine and you have enabled the CDN option there, you still have to enable the CDN option in WP Rocket, and enter your CDN URL so the plugin can detect it and function correctly.
If you're not sure what your CDN URL is, you can find it in the CDN section of your WP Engine User Portal.
CDN on SSL sites
If your site is SSL-enabled, i.e. it uses HTTPS, your CDN must also serve files via HTTPS. To check if your CDN is SSL-enabled, visit the HTTPS version of your CDN URL in your browser. If it is NOT SSL-enabled, you will see a security warning like the one below:
You have to contact your CDN provider to enable HTTPS for your account.
If you experience any other issues with your CDN setup in WP Rocket, please review these articles from this documentation:
CDN not working, files not sent to CDN
Resolving issue with CDN and fonts (icons)
Manually adding our CDN function to an image
Please note: If you're using a custom media uploads directory, the wp_uploads_dir function is used to determine the correct path.
