John Nagel has an intimate understanding of the risks of winter hiking. It was a clear, windless day in February 2015 when he stepped onto an unseen patch of hard ice while snowshoeing with a friend near Juneau, Alaska. A cleat on his snowshoe slipped, and in an instant he was careening toward a band of rocks below.
As he attempted to steer away, his body launched into the air. He remembers the profiles of familiar mountains spinning in the flat light. "So this is how it ends," he thought, and closed his eyes.
"You slip one time, and sometimes that's all you get," said Chris Brookhart, assistant fire chief with the Mount Baldy fire department in southern California.
Brookhart works with several agencies to coordinate search and rescue efforts in the Angeles mountains, a rugged wilderness that is only 30 miles from the second-largest metropolitan area in the US. The range remained relatively dry during the past five years of drought, but recent weather tilted toward other extremes: heavy snowfall, rain, and a sharp drop in temperatures that solidified the wet snow into shiny "bulletproof" ice.
Hiker numbers have increased as well. Brookhart has observed full parking lots on winter weekdays. Hiking clubs arrive in buses packed with 50 people. Most live among the palm trees in the valley, and many aren't prepared for ice so hard that even crampons can't pierce the surface. It's like walking on a mirror. A fall would be almost impossible to stop, even with an ice axe.
"Winter conditions with this kind of ice – it doesn't give you a second chance," Brookhart said.
In the last week, two people died on Mount Baldy, a popular 10,000-foot summit. Daniel Nguyen, 23, fell more than 1,500 feet on 2 February after losing his footing on a notoriously steep ridge called Devil's Backbone. On 6 February, Dong Xing Liu, 47, died after he slipped while hiking with his wife, who was badly injured.
At the time, the San Bernardino county sheriff's department was conducting an aerial rescue of five people stranded on an icy trail. Twelve hikers and two dogs were air-lifted off the mountain that day. By 8 February, Angeles national forest had closed five trails due to "severe risk of injury".
In January alone, 21 people died in avalanches in North America. Snow-covered slopes are riddled with hazards and cold temperatures are a relentless menace. Relatively small mistakes can lead to hypothermia, which quickly becomes deadly. Why risk all this? For avid winter hikers, the combination of extreme temperature and difficult terrain means its the ultimate sport challenge.
Kevin Breitenbach, a cyclist in Fairbanks, Alaska, regularly ventures out for rides through the boreal forest in temperatures down to 50 below zero. Frigid weather presents challenges, he said, but once he figured out how to stay comfortable, he felt safer during a season when the dry, cold air prevents sweat from chilling his skin, bugs and predators are mostly hibernating, open water is frozen, and snow helps cushion falls.
"We're consumed with the idea of, comfort, safety and ease," Breitenbach said.
"Traveling self-supported in winter conditions changes your idea of what is comfortable, what is easy, and what is safe. Am I safer alone on a winter trail in the middle of the night with just myself to depend on, or am I safer on the highway surrounded by folks texting and driving 60mph? Inexplicably to me, most people would take the latter."
Joe Grant, a professional runner in Gold Hill, Colorado, adapted his training to volatile winters in the Rocky mountains. He too has honed his gear and skills to feel at ease on steep, snow-covered slopes, but said he also learned hard lessons from too-late starts and bad snow conditions.
"The primary reason I run is to explore wild places under my own power," Grant said. "Winters can be quite harsh, hence a need to adapt my perspective and skill set."
Grant advised novices to use proper gear, understand risks and honestly assess abilities. Most mistakes happen when people venture too far beyond their limits – becoming tired, weak, and unsure where to place that next step.
Brookhart has witnessed hikers going around tape on closed trails. Although exact numbers aren't available, Brookhart said rescues have increased sharply over the past few years. It will only become more difficult to bail out people who make poor decisions. Mobile phones mean it's easy for people to call for help, Brookhart said, but that only solves part of the problem.
"Our resources are stretched so thin," Brookhart. "Now, people can just text 911 on their phones. In the mountains that's useful, but I think it also affects their decision-making."
As for John Nagel, he doesn't remember landing after his body went airborne, only the sensation of snow hitting his face as he slowed to a stop.
A sharp pain radiated from his shoulder and he slipped once more while trying to stand. He'd fallen several hundred feet, and staggered for several minutes before his friend, Geoff Roes, located him and helped him change out of snowshoes and into microspikes. Nagel managed to walk out, but an x-ray later revealed he'd broken three ribs under his left scapula.
Seven months later, Nagel had recovered from his injuries but still felt tinges of fear as he went for a solo run on the ridge. Snow had given way the brightly colored tundra of autumn. The noise of Nagel's footsteps flushed a wolf from the alders. He heard howling, and turned to see another wolf, flanking him in almost the same place where he slipped in February.
For Nagel, standing between two wolves was a sign he needed to retreat once more. It was also a life-affirming experience. Although he recognizes the risks, he believes his happiness is inextricably connected to Juneau's backcountry.
"It's a wild, beautiful and joyful place to be," Nagel said. "Being absolutely present in such an inhospitable environment makes for such a profound and pleasurable experience. But I am the one attaching those descriptions. The land is indifferent at best in the winter or summer."

National Gardens, which are available behind the Tomb of the Unidentified Soldier, offer a good escape from all the hustle and the bustle of the city. Searching at the crowds present, I have a sensation they are a fashionable dangle-out place for the locals. This is a good place to consider a leisurely walk or consume a brown-bag lunch. In the heart of the park there is a neoclassical construction called Zappion, which I've been informed is utilized for important political and cultural occasions (a safety guard told me Greece's entry into European Union was signed here). It's quite an eye-catching construction worth checking out if you value architecture.

Often I am told on the subject of infidelities, hurts and disappointments between couples and then asked whether the offenders should be specified another chance.
That they never even contemplate that your issue may actually have been together with the offender and that likely practically nothing was actually learned so that the person would not digress yet again.
If there is a match then an likelihood of them succeeding in the future is reasonably assured. Should there be no match then they need to determine whether they are willing to are located with this and the consequences or whether they can preserve themselves and each other a lot of heartache by acknowledging these differences and separating coming from each other immediately.
From my experience a typical scenario goes along these lines. The person who has more invested in the relationship will accept the others apology welcoming them back into the partnership without any requirement.
Sadly, whereas things might be good for a short time, what most often happens can be that the person will likely upset again as nothing has really been learned or simply really has changed. There may not even have been any sort of real conversation about what materialized let alone why it happened.
What really must happen in these conditions is that each party takes some time to try and figure out why the behaviour happened in the first place. Was it because a few need was not being met or that there is actually your mismatch in the things that all party holds valuable on the subject of themselves, their spouses and their marriage.
Any sad thing is which usually remorse in and from itself is rarely plenty of to change a person's behaviour. This is due to if the underlying need or belief hasn't changed than the behaviour may not either.
Well then, i'll see if I can make the following clearer.
I think the question is often asked for the reason that offender has felt some remorse for the misdeed and they, both in the few, are hoping that this is plenty to get them back on track. The question is also generally asked following a statement through the injured party confirming a continuing love for the person despite what they have done.
Of course this system of discovery would be greater done prior to entering into the relationship in the first place. And this is the place preparation for marriage talk therapy is most valuable; simply making sure your compatibility prior to saying "I do! ".
And here's another common scenario. There has been an infidelity and the relationship has separated completely with the couple removing. The person who committed all the indiscretion now feels absolve to enter into a relationship along with the party with whom on the list of the affair who fortunately takes the person in assuming most likely that all manner of wrongs from the other's partner is the reason for the infidelity.
So the process forward is firstly to help you communicate with each other openly and honestly about what is going concerning for each of them. They also ought to discuss what they look and think about their romance and their part with it. Finally, and maybe this needs the assistance of a partners therapist, they need to share with 1 what is really important to each of them about being in a romance and to discover whether there is a match in those ideals.
What often ends up going on is that this couple sees themselves in exactly the same set as the previous relationship and for that reason once again the offender strays from the marriage to attempt to discover what is still missing skincare products lives in the arms of someone else.

Happy Release Day to
Nadia Lee!
Looking for an intense love story with an intriguing plot and blazing hot hero?
Check out
I took her innocence and she stole my heart.
Each night and every kiss brought us closer.
Ivy was gorgeous, brilliant, and…forbidden.
Me? I was the black sheep of my illustrious family.
We weren't supposed to be together.
I had blood on my hands.
But Ivy was the one who paid the price for my sins.
I thought I'd lost her forever.
Until…I saw her beautiful face nine years later.
Now she has a new name, a new identity, and doesn't remember me.
But she still holds my heart in her hands.
I know she is my Ivy.
People say that I'm obsessed…that I'm crazy.
They aren't wrong.
My billions are worthless without her in my arms.
I'll embrace the madness to make her mine again.
And I won't stop at anything until I do.
*Insert fangirl squeal here!
This is the first book in The Sins Trilogy and I am beyond excited that Tony and Ivy's story is finally out in the world! You might have seen me vague booking about it on my Facebook page, because this series is AWESOME and I haven't been able to talk about it!
Tortured, stunningly sexy hero.
Fiery heroine determined not to be defined by her past.
A twisted story of love, betrayal, long buried secrets— and that's just book one!
I'm not the only one who loved it:
"Sins, the first book of Nadia Lee's new trilogy, completely blew me away! It made my heart ache for both Tony and Ivy, and the twists and turns compelled me to gobble this book up in one sitting. I'm a sucker for a tormented hero, and nobody writes one better than Nadia. I can't wait for Book Two." — New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author J.S. Scott
So order pizza, set the kids up with a movie, and let yourself get to know Tony and Ivy.
Fair warning: this is a real trilogy. Sins ends on a OMG cliffhanger that will have you counting the days until Secrets is released. It's coming in June. I promise you'll make it!
There is one character that readers are going to hate with the fire of a thousand suns. I won't say who just yet, but bounce over to my Facebook page and tell us what fictional character you absolutely despise.
Happy reading!

What to wear to SUP in cold water
I live in Santa Cruz where the average sea temperature is usually around 55 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air temperatures can range from 65 – 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes dressing for SUP paddling tricky. If you fall in – you are gonna be cold. If you don't – you are gonna sweat. How to dress for both?

Dear friends,
This blog is part of a series where I look briefly at some of the classic or historic or original Anglican teachings. Each week I am looking at one of the Articles in the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion. By the way, the Articles are a key component of Messiah's Statement of Faith. I will quote the Article accurately, but I may modernize the language sometimes.
"ARTICLE VI: Of the Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for Salvation. Holy Scripture contains all things necessary to salvation: so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not required of any person, that it should be believed as an article of faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation. In the name of Holy Scripture we do understand those Canonical Books of the Old and New Testament, of whose authority was never in any doubt in the church. (It then lists the commonly accepted 39 book of the Old Testament). And the other books (as Jerome said) the church reads for example of life and instructions of manners; but yet it does not apply them to establish any doctrine; such are those following (it then lists the Apocrypha). All the books of the New Testament, as they are commonly received, we do receive, and account them Canonical."
First, note that the Article says that the Apocrypha is NOT Scripture. They are given the status of good human works to read. To make this clear, the Article, in its entirety, lists the books accepted and passed over.
Second, note that the Article is saying that the Bible is "sufficient" for salvation and true doctrine. Nothing else is considered "sufficient for salvation"; not liturgy, institutions, church offices, tradition or reason. Only the Bible is clearly sufficient to tell us the truth about Jesus and the truth about our condition in such a way that an ordinary person like you and I can come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ.
Third, note that the Article says the Bible contains ALL things necessary to salvation. The Bible does not contain only some of the truth, so that it needs to be supplemented by tradition, reason, modern knowledge, mystical experience or institutional efforts. Christians need to read the Bible. Non-Christians need to hear (or read) the Bible as part of their process of coming to saving faith.
Fourth, note that the Article limits the scope and purpose of the Bible. The Article implies that the Bible is always truthful – you do not need a decoder. But, you do not go to the Bible to learn about physics or engineering or math. The Bible is true, but it was not written to address these matters – it is written so that we can know and come to saving faith in, Jesus Messiah – God's Son and our Saviour and Lord.

Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) General Secretary MP Dayasiri Jayasekara yesterday requested the government to hold Provincial Council elections without delay to ensure the country's democracy.
Addressing the media at the SLFP Headquarters yesterday, Jayasekara said the SLFP plans to take all possible measures to force the government to hold Provincial Council elections.
He said President Maithripala Sirisena has already submitted a Cabinet Paper seeking approval to hold elections to the nine Provincial Councils on a single day before May 31 this year.
MP Jayasekara further called on the Government to introduce a new Bill to Parliament to hold elections under the previous system and all MPs will support to pass the Bill. He asked the government not to delay the holding of the elections using different excuses and there is no need to worry about securing a two-thirds majority to pass this Bill.
Dehiwala – Mount Lavinia Municipal Council Deputy Mayor Keerthi Udawatte urged all SLFPers who left the party to join hands to strengthen the SLFP claiming that the country needs a left wing democratic political leadership. He further said that President Sirisena has never tried to use his party leadership to take personal revenges and he always try to strengthen the party.
Former SLFP Provincial Council member Rehensiri Waragoda and Bulathsinhala Electorate SLFP Organizer Thusitha Kularatne also addressed the occasion.

Are my workers employees or independent contractors?
A good bookkeeper knows a key tenet of limiting potential problems with the Internal Revenue Service is categorizing employees properly to pay them correctly.
Sometimes areas of uncertainty surround a worker's status. The employer determines the degree of control he or she maintains over a worker (or the degree of independence provided the worker). The general rule established by the IRS states an individual is an independent contractor if the payer controls or directs only the result of the work; not what or how it gets done.
Unfortunately, no explicit rules exist to define "directing only the result of the work," so consider the following factors:
- Does the employer hold "behavioral control" over the worker?
- Employers usually decide how, when, and where employees' work will be done, while independent contractors usually exercise more flexibility.
- A worker needing little or no instruction may be an independent contractor.
- Independent contractors are usually responsible for their own training, while an employer is normally responsible for an employee's.
- The ability to hire assistance may suggest an independent contractor.
- How are expenses and compensation paid?
- A significant investment by the worker (such as purchase of tools or equipment) may indicate he or she is an independent contractor.
- Unreimbursed expenses may suggest the worker is an independent contractor.
- Independent contractors frequently charge flat fees and can make a profit or loss on the job.
- An employee's services are available to the employer, while an independent contractor's services are available to the market.
- The payment method (credit card, direct deposit payroll, etc.) is a factor in determining whether the worker is an employee or independent contractor.
- What type of legal relationship exists between the payer and worker?
- A contract for services or employment could be a determining factor.
- If benefits are provided, the recipient is most likely an employee.
- A temporary relationship often indicates an independent contractor, while something more permanent may be held by an employee.
- An independent contractor will most likely advertise in the marketplace, while an employee may post availability only on job search websites.
IRS Publication 1779 and Publication 15-A give additional guidelines. If you're still unclear you can submit a request for the IRS to determine the status of your worker. Be aware, though, the IRS could take up to six months to answer your inquiry.
Still confused? Patrick & Raines CPAs, which offers independent contractor CFO and bookkeeping services, employs a tested team of experienced accountants who can help.

Now that the funding campaign has closed, I can't thank everyone enough for the support.
We raised 128% of the funding goal, plus donations made through other channels, for a total of $4205. Thank goodness, since shipping came in above what was budgeted.
The final push got us to the goal and over the top, thanks to:
Paul Emerson, Mary Clark, Leon Lowe (again!), Bill O'Brien, Donna O'Brien (again!), Carole Sebenick, Andrea Howe, Katie Engen, Robyn Polzin, Rennie Beauchamp, Cindy Lowe, Annemarie Mowery & family, Sandy Clinton, Linda Germain, and five other Anonymous contributors.
Because of you, my entry for ArtPrize is safely on its way...I can feed my volunteers...our material costs are covered...and we have plenty of marketing materials to raise visibility for my entry with the crowds about to descend on Grand Rapids.
Rest assured that your thank-you perks for contributing are coming. It will take a little while to pull things together, but I will get them to you! Everyone gets an e-copy of the exhibition catalog, which I'll create after we get good images of the installation and event. Other goodies will need to be made after I return from the US.
In the meantime, I'll post updates here, on Facebook and via Twitter of how it's going in GR. I leave for the US this Friday, my volunteers (Mom, Dad and Mandy Gordon) arrive Saturday, and we begin installation next Monday morning.

Juxtaposed with ongoing discussion (online, at least) of chef-personality Paula Deen, today's SCOTUS decision striking down part of the Voting Rights Act raises certain questions about racism and geography in the public imaginary.
A common theme in many responses to and defenses of Deen–on public trial for a raft of racist utterances–is reference to her Southernness. These comments take the form: 'What do you expect from a white woman raised in the South? It's just backwards down there.' Or alternately, 'She left the South. She should have learned better by now.'

Denver Zoo announces new president and CEO amid rocky transitions, upcoming renovations
Aug. 10--The Denver Zoo has a new captain at the helm, announcing Bert Vescolani as president and CEO on Friday after a rocky period of public controversies, funding shortfalls and record attendance.
Vescolani, who starts in mid-September, comes from the Saint Louis Science Center, where he served as president and CEO for seven years, according to a news release from the Denver Zoo.
"Bert was chosen to lead Denver Zoo because of his depth and breadth of experience in both animal care and executive leadership, and for his tremendous energy and enthusiasm," said Chair of the Denver Zoological Foundation Sherri Koelbel, who led the nationwide search effort.
"We have full confidence that he will uphold our position as a world-class cultural and conservation organization, and provide strong, steady leadership through this exciting and pivotal period for the Zoo."
Vescolani replaces Denny O'Malley, who has served as interim president and CEO since June 2017. O'Malley, past Denver Zoological Foundation board chairman and president and CEO of Craig Hospital, hopped aboard after his predecessor Shannon Block abruptly quit following a string of controversies that included abandoning a plan to convert animal waste into energy and fighting over providing information to the city's auditor.
While presiding over the Saint Louis Science Center, Vescolani led the largest exhibit expansion in the center's 30-year history, the zoo said. The newcomer also served six years as director of the John Ball Zoological Gardens in Michigan and previously worked for more than 14 years in various roles at Chicago's John G. Shedd Aquarium.
"It's a tremendous honor to join the Denver Zoo team and have the opportunity to contribute to an institution that is so well respected for its commitment to animal welfare, conservation, education and guest experience," said Vescolani. "I look forward to helping Denver Zoo reach its significant potential by fulfilling the long-term master plan, improving the campus and guest experience, and building on educational and conservation programs."
The revised master plan Vescolani is referencing includes a $20 million animal hospital, parking innovations to address the zoo's growing popularity and updates and new features added to buildings and exhibits throughout the attraction.
To cover operational costs that have climbed 28 percent over the past four years, the zoo recently received city approval for an admission hike projected to raise $1.5 million in the next year. The extra $2 to $3 per visitor could boost the zoo's $41.5 million annual budget by 3.7 percent.
"We are deeply grateful to Denny for the contributions he made to Denver Zoo during his 14 months of transitional leadership," said Koelbel. "Thanks to him the Zoo is in a tremendous position within the community and industry, and poised for future success."

One of my favorite things to make when I was a kid was scrambled eggs and french toast. Those were my go to dishes to make for breakfast-in-bed for the parents on Mother's Day, Father's Day, and parental birthdays. It's delicious, pretty simple to make, and you can use up stale bread. That's a biggie for me. There is almost nothing I hate more than wasted food. You can ask any of my friends, I will eat your leftovers, and I definitely think expiration dates are a suggestion. Actually they are. They are usually sell-by dates, or best-by dates, but that could be a blog post unto itself. Today I share with you my personal victory. My 10-year-old has developed a love of cooking, and is now making french toast. I'm anticipating breakfast-in-bed anytime now (hint, hint).

After seeing Kathy's gorgeous Mother's Day card . . . and after experiencing serious card envy . . . I decided to make another card for my mother! (I know, I know, I already had a beautiful one made but I just wanted to make mine prettier than Kathy's. After all, I've had such a run of luck in winning all the card contests Kathy and I have engaged in . . . not! lol)
Anyway, here's my over-the-top card:
From the front, with the flash reflecting off the Window Sheet . . .
From the front, without the shiny spot (lol) . . .
From the top . . . (Can you see the "twist"?)
And from the back! Now you can definitely see the difference from my other shadow box cards, can't you?
I added a Whisper White cardstock (cs) piece to the back so that I would have a place to stamp/write a comment! Yah for me! lol
The Whisper White cs is 7" x 4 1/4" and is scored at 3 1/2" along the 7" side. I just glued it directly to the back of the shadow box card. And, yes, the card folds flat for mailing! lol
If you want the directions for making a shadow box card, click on the following link: http://inkinbythebay.blogspot.ca/search/label/Forest%20Friends
For a list of what I used . . . just keep reading! lol
- The stamp sets used are Fast and Fabulous (but you could easily use any flower stamps) and Teeny Tiny Wishes.
- I also used the Labels Framelits for the "window" and "frame" on the front of the card.
- The cardstock is Pretty in Pink, So Saffron and Whisper White.
- The ink is Black Stazon.
- The accessories are Window Sheets, the Eyelet Border punch, the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die, the Finial Press Embossing Folder, Basic Pearls, Pink Pirouette/Pretty in Pink/Certainly Celery Markers, Dazzling Diamonds, and Dimensionals (I popped up some of the flowers and the Mother's Day greeting).
Shadowy hugs,

The Jackson Hole Airport, located in Jackson Wyoming, is set to add new non-stop flights to San Francisco and Houston this summer. Flights to San Francisco will leave daily at 7:00 am and flights to Houston will depart every Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 am. This brings the total of daily flight schedule for summer to 28 flights that will operate to and from nine US cities.
Airport Director Ray Bishop says that the additional flights are good news for the airport, but they will stretch security screening and airport parking space to their limits on Sundays. He adds that they will come up with a parking space solution and they will require passengers to arrive extra early for Sunday flights so that they have time to get through security before their flight boards.

I agree wholeheartedly; grouping would make many operations so much handier. I have individual pictures that need to stay together even if I optimize the layout (which is a fantastic tool) and have to manually mess up the optimized layout every time to get these images back next to each other, so they don't get lost or forgotten.

Voice Banking and Voice Reconstruction for MND patients

|Voice Banking and Voice Reconstruction for MND patients
|Publication Type
|Journal Article
|When the speech of an individual becomes unintelligible due to a degenerative disease such as motor neuron disease (MND), a voice output communication aid (VOCA) can be used. To fully replace all functions of speech communication: communication of information, maintenance of social relationships and displaying identity, the voice must be intelligible, natural-sounding and retain the vocal identity of the speaker. Attempts have been made to capture the voice before it is lost, using a process known as voice banking. But, for patients with MND, the speech deterioration frequently coincides or quickly follows diagnosis. Using model based speech synthesis, it is now possible to retain the vocal identity of the patient with minimal data recordings and even deteriorating speech. The power of this approach is that it is possible to use the patient's recordings to adapt existing voice models pre-trained on many speakers. When the speech has begun to deteriorate, the adapted voice model can be further modified in order to compensate for the disordered characteristics found in the patient's speech. We present here an on-going project for voice banking and voice reconstruction based on this technology.

Blue Cross Blue Shield Beneficiaries of Fuquay-Varina, NC
do not need a DR Referral to Get Counseling
To experience emotional or behavioral issues can be an extremely difficult – not only for the person experiencing them, but also for those who live with them, love them and work with them. A wide range of causes like death in the family, birth of a sibling, marital conflict, and others can prompt you or your loved one to exhibit periodical emotional/behavioral changes. This may include depression, anger, oppositional defiance, low self-esteem, and self-harm. The severity of the symptoms necessitates immediate treatment and care. When left untreated, these symptoms can have short and long-term negative effects on your personal and professional life.
Behavioral Health does not require a DR Referral
Chances for emotional and behavioral problems to improve may prove to be impossible if you or someone you know does not get access to treatment. The earlier the intervention is given, the easier it becomes to restore normalcy in your life. In this case, help can be provided by health professionals such as licensed counselors, therapists, and clinical psychologists.
Often, it can be difficult for you to understand your insurance policy and how it relates to counseling (behavioral healthcare). Because of insurance provider rules, most specialty care health providers require a doctor's referral before providing treatment. Fortunately, Behavioral Healthcare is not one of those for beneficiaries of Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Using Blue Cross Blue Shield to Your Advantage
When you know you'll be subjected to the complex procedures of treatment, you don't want to have one more thing bothering you, or keeping you from getting the help you need. You don't have to have this additional burden if you're a holder of Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) health insurance plan. It is important with BCBS that you have access to counseling services from a health professional whom you trust enough to work with. BCBS frees you from the burden of securing a doctor's referral prior to counseling. This privilege makes it possible for you or your loved one to receive needed treatment quickly and to have peace of mind when making an important decision involving the treatment and care you need.
Simplifying Things for Your Recovery
Finding the right therapist can be daunting, considering that the problem at hand is best alleviated if you find the right fit. You also want to keep everything private without being deprived of comfort. This is exactly what we want to provide for you when you seek help from the Fuquay-Varina, NC office of Carolina Counseling Services. You get the best assurance in receiving appropriate treatment with the right therapist for whatever emotional and behavioral issues troubling you or a family member.

Sports fans are currently in mourning after learning about the passing of a true soccer legend. Gordon Banks, who is considered to be "one of the game's greatest" players of all time in his position, sadly passed away at 81 years old.
News of his death broke on Tuesday, February 13th. However, the cause of death and exactly when he died is unclear. According to BBC Sports, his family confirmed that he passed away "peacefully overnight."
"We are devastated to lose him but we have so many happy memories and could not have been more proud of him," the family said in a statement to the media.
Banks was the former goalkeeper for England's professional football team. He played professionally starting in the early 1960s before retiring in 1973.
Throughout his soccer career, Banks achieved several amazing accomplishments. He was named Fifa goalkeeper of the year six times, earned 73 caps for England, was the 1966 World Cup-winning goalkeeper, and won the League Cup with other teammates.
Banks leaves behind his wife, Ursula Banks, and their three children: Robert, Wendy, and Julia Banks.
Please pray for Bank's friends, family, and loved ones during this difficult time! He will be greatly missed.
In other celebrity news, Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife is also in need of prayer as she continues to battle cancer. Read the latest details here.

First day of School - City Style!
Here's what I saw and how I felt about our first day of school in San Francisco:
As we arrived, parents & families were allowed to stand with their students as they assembled in a line by their teachers. We were greeted by smiles from parents near us and the silence seemed to say, "We're all here together."
We introduced ourselves to his teacher. She has a long teaching record here at the school and seems very confident. We told her that we are her biggest fans and want to be a help to her this year.
The principal welcomes everyone to school - in Spanish and English! Most of the students are Hispanic with a small number Caucasian and Asian. In regards to school, we have always been in the majority, but I have to be honest and say, that being the minority feels no different today.
We were able to follow the class line into the school and into the room along with other families. Elijah found his spot at the table and began the work before him.
With a lump in my throat I stepped back.
Up til now it's been research, logistics, paperwork, school shopping.
Elijah is an independent, strong-willed child.
He thrives on routine and learning.
Since preschool, it's been easy to release him to other teachers.
It feels different today.
Why? I ask myself.
He's getting older. He's growing more independent.
We teach our boys to do much on their own and Elijah is doing just that.
And I'm going to state the obvious here, we don't live in a small town anymore where you know all your neighbors or at least see them at the grocery store or wave when you drive by.
We released him, knowing no one.
But we do know and trust in a God who loves Elijah very much and has his best interests at heart.
Here's what Elijah has to say about his first day of first grade:
"I made friends with those at my table and even played at recess with them."
Speaking of recess, "We have 3 recesses! That's more than I had in Kindergarten. And you said first grade was gonna be more hard."
When school was over and I was there to greet him, Elijah came running to me. It was as if mission was accomplished for the day.
"Awesome, mom. Awesome." were the first words out of his mouth.
And on the drive home, Elijah stretched up his arms and said, "I'm exhausted."

In this episode of Keepin' It 100 (KI100), we will continue the journey of looking at why challenging behavior occurs. There are specific reasons as to why all behavior occurs and we'll dive into those reasons continuing today with the application of the idea that certain individuals engage in behavior to escape or avoid aversive situations.
Keepin' It 100 is a practical web series by Cultivate Behavioral Health & Education designed to help parents and practitioners learn and apply the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Keepin' It 100 is designed to be a series of 100 videos, each roughly 100 seconds in length over 100 days.
It's not uncommon for children to engage in escape behavior. We all do this, so we should not be shocked when we learn that our kiddos will engage in these types of behaviors when we've placed demands or are asking them to do certain things that they'd rather not do. That said, in this Episode, we mentioned a term, Escape Extinction. Essentially, what you want to do as a parent or practitioner, is ensure that your learner is not reinforced for engaging in the escape behavior. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is effective when the strategies are properly utilized. When you start withholding reinforcement for engaging in challenging behavior, you'll communicate to the learner or your child that there's no payoff for doing what they're doing. If you have a leaner that's engaging in escape behavior, try giving them strategies that will enable them to access the escape in more socially-appropriate ways.

For Drake
Here's a little terrarium that I custom made for Drake Logan, the curator of SoCha Cafe (among others in the Mission). Check out her new project, This is not an oil spill: a film by Drake Logan. She's in Florida working on it now. Good luck Drake! My heart goes out to all the living things that are being damaged in this horrible disaster.

Oreo is a Chihuahua mix male about 8 years old. He was saved on his last day of life from animal control. He had been picked up as a stray and even though his owners found him there they never came to pick him up. We think Oreo had a very rough life before coming to us and can be bitey and so he would do best with a family with no children. He likes some other dogs and is house trained.

NASCAR drivers: BITR at 197.12 mph, THINK FASTgreenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread
Daytona purchases new software in August 1998 and blows past deadlines to go live on July 1 and Sept 1. FAILS attempt to GO LIVE on Dec 7th. Paging Jeff Gordon "Can you spare your pit crew for a few days?"
[For education and research purposes only]
Wednesday, December 08, 1999 Close, but no cigar for Daytona's new computer software By JOHN BOZZO Staff Writer DAYTONA BEACH - New computer software failed a deadline Tuesday to "go live," but a city official expressed confidence the system would meet expectations before the year 2000.
"We are still not 100 percent ready," Finance Director Jim Maniak said. "We have a number of things that we have changed and corrected and made modifications to that we still have to test."
The city purchased the administrative software package for about $1.2 million from Creative Computer Solutions, a Pleasanton, Calif., company, in August 1998. Two previous "go live" dates were rescheduled July 1 and Sept. 14.
Because the system was failing to meet the city's expectations, CCS officials agreed to a $3,500-per-day penalty in November if the system continued to fall short. The company also obtained a $468,540 performance bond and provided technical experts at City Hall.
Maniak was unsure if the daily penalty would apply because the agreement with CCS called for an extension if new issues arose. "We've had other things come up," Maniak said. "We would have things to be corrected. They'd correct them and then we'd come back and find something else."
Software related to the city's general ledger, payroll and utility billing were city concerns going into the test Tuesday. Utility billing remains a concern, Maniak said.
Computer programs at Direct Mail Express, a company that processes the city's utility bills, have to be changed to communicate with the city's system. There will also have to be additional coordination with computers at SunTrust Bank, which receives utility bill payments.
Maniak said tests on coordinating computerized billing with Direct Mail Express could be concluded in about a week. He said utility bills could be posted manually until communication with the city's new software is established with SunTrust.
The finance director was confident enough at progress so far that he does not predict the city will have to revert to its older computer system, which would require modifications to work in the year 2000. Many computers and electronic devices that were originally programmed with two digits for the year may malfunction by reading the year 2000 as 1900.
As a precaution in November, the city approved a $27,520 contract with Compaq Computer Corp. to determine any upgrades needed for the city's old computer system for operation in the year 2000.
"We're close enough that we should make it (with the new system)," Maniak said. "We've made a lot of progress, we're very close, but it just may take a little longer as far as the go live date.
"Everyone is still dedicated to getting it done," the finance director said. "We have a very complicated system with a lot of interaction between all the systems we have. They all must talk to each other and send information to other systems at other agencies."

" New computer software failed a deadline Tuesday to "go live," but a city official expressed confidence the system would meet expectations before the year 2000........ "
".....Two previous "go live" dates were rescheduled July 1 and Sept. 14. "
Are we the only ones in the world that read this sort of stuff and really get worried?. How the hell do they expect it all to work if they missed 3 'go live' dates. They got 3 weeks to get it right.
-- hamster (firstname.lastname@example.com), December 08, 1999.
"We've had other things come up ..." means that for the July test they were still dreaming up new functionality to add to the system, and for the September test they had just ONE MORE TEENY LITTLE ADDED FUNCTION. Either it was the brainchild of the manager in charge, or he/she was unable to reject it.
Now the managers have realized that this is all for real, and it doesn't matter whether their clerks have user-settable screen colors, what matters is that the blinkety-blink thing RUNS. But it's too late to learn that lesson, and they won't make 12/31 either.
"We'll have a whole year for testing." Well, now you have 550 hours.

"Everyone is still dedicated to getting it done," the finance director said. "We have a very complicated system with a lot of interaction between all the systems we have. They all must talk to each other and send information to other systems at other agencies."
Of COURSE everyone is still dedicated to getting it done. IT'S THEIR FREAKING JOB TO GET IT DONE!!! NOW go back and ask the TRENCH TROOPS if it CAN GET DONE!!!!

ST. PAUL, Minn. — The University of Minnesota will soon open its new $79 million facility for its natural history museum.
The Bell Museum of Natural History has more than 100 displays at its new facility on the university's St. Paul campus, Minnesota Public Radio reported .
The building features a large amount of glass that mimics the feel of a museum display case, which museum spokeswoman Andria Waclawski said is intentional.
"Eventually when we're ready to have this up and lit, this scene will be visible from the outside day and night as a traditional diorama that the Bell Museum is known for," Waclawski said.
The museum includes 10 room-sized dioramas and 35 smaller displays. Wildlife painter Francis Lee Jaques has created scenes for many of the exhibits. One area features bones, animal skins, turtles and shells that visitors can see and touch.
The 92,000-square-foot (8,500-sq. meter) building includes classroom spaces, an astronomy gallery and a digital planetarium. The museum also has a rooftop observation deck and a rainwater collection system that will provide irrigation, said Denise Young, the museum's executive director.
"We're also looking at native plants, a pollinator garden, our beehives, rain gardens, and different features that people could actually replicate at their own homes and businesses," Young said.
The museum will hold a grand opening event on July 13 and open to the public the following day.
