Fantasy Team Name
Master Pain
Proposed Trade
I send Ray Rice and Emmanual Sanders or Denarius Moore away in return for Steven Jackson and Wes Welker.
Fantasy football trade analysis -
Thanks for using our fantasy football trade analyzer! If you can afford to wait until week 7 to use Steven Jackson I would make that deal in a heart beat. Sanders and Moore are waiver wire fodder so you need to look at this as Steven Jackson and Welker for Ray Rice. Thats a done deal if you have startable running backs for the next two weeks.
Best of luck in week 5! Write in anytime for unlimitied fantasy football trade advice!

Christina & Lucas: Lexington Engagement/
We hopped in the car at the conclusion of this shoot and Gabe says, "That was intense." He was right. We shot in construction, the middle of the street, weeds, chiggers, and lightening for this engagement session. Right when we finished it started raining. I loved every minute of it though. On the way home I wouldn't touch my legs even though they were itching like crazy because I was sure I had gotten poison ivy. I got home and showered and, I am ashamed to admit, scrubbed my legs with a Clorox wipe. I've never had it before! Gabe laughed at me the whole time. Thanks for being troopers, Christina and Lucas. You were brave amongst the lightening bolts.
They could be models!
I love the car shot. I was just clicking away as the traffic drove by and I found this little gem as we were reviewing the pictures. Shout out to Gabe. It was his idea to shoot the building.

Local briefs: Sequoia park shuttle to begin
Daily shuttle service in Sequoia National Park will begin in two weeks, the National Park Service said.
A daily shuttle from Visalia will begin service May 26 with a $15 fare, including the park's entrance fee, said park service spokeswoman Debra Schweizer. The shuttle will run hourly from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. Return trips to Visalia leave the Great Forest Museum hourly from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m.
The park also has a second free shuttle for transportation inside the park.
The park service has also expanded its shuttle service to include an early-morning hiker shuttle, Schweizer said. The hiker shuttle leaving the Lodgepole Visitor Center at 7:30 a.m. will stop at the Wolverton Recreation Area and Crescent Meadow. At 6:30 p.m. a shuttle will provide a return trip to the Lodgepole Center, she said.
While shuttles are operating, Moro Rock/Crescent Meadow Road will be closed to traffic from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends. Exceptions to the road closures include backcountry hikers with permits, vehicles with disabled placards and shuttle traffic.
The daily shuttle service will operate through Sept. 25. Reservations for the Visalia shuttle can be made at (887) 287-4453 or by visiting fblinks.com/sequoia.
Parents can learn from Web-savvy kids
Teaching parents to use technology that children have mastered can reduce dropout rates and boost student success, community leaders said at a conference Friday in Clovis.
The session was the second in a statewide series led by the One Million NIU (New Internet Users) Coalition. The organization promotes technology education in underserved areas, including low-income and rural neighborhoods.
Larry Ortega, president and CEO of Community Union Inc. in Los Angeles, said the coalition is working with school districts to turn on-campus computer labs into places where parents can learn, too.
Fresno County's Office of Education is working on a project to bring low-cost broadband Internet access to every family with children in school, Superintendent Larry Powell said.

Postal food drive aids Poverello House
The Poverello House is looking for nonperishable food during the 19th annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive May 14.
Fresno letter carriers selected the Poverello House for the fifth straight year to receive the donated food, said Poverello spokeswoman Kathryn Weakland.
Participants in the drive can fill a blue grocery bag with nonperishable food and leave the bag next to a mailbox on May 14, Weakland said. A mail carrier or volunteer will pick up the food and deliver it to the Poverello House.
The blue grocery bag will be given out by mail carriers starting Tuesday along with save-the-date cards, Weakland said.

The mere thought of popping into a spa or salon for a treatment is enough to send elated shivers down any aching spine. Planning a visit? Here's a checklist to ensure you bliss out to the best of your abilities, writes Emma-Charlotte Bangay.
Visiting a salon for a facial or day spa for a treatment is a personal experience. To ensure you get the right fit for you, here is your checklist to better bliss.
If You Want To: Completely Bliss Out
"The best spa treatments are holistic," explains Christine Snow, Education and Regulatory Manager for Spa Universe. "They work from the outside in (touch) and the inside out (emotion)." So, even if the massage is magnificent, if the sensory surrounds aren't aligned, your visit won't be a positive one. "Scent especially is incredibly emotive," notes Christine. "A certain fragrance can immediately conjure up memories of our childhood, a friend or an event."
Ask For:
A scent that you love. A good spa has an array on offer to suit, but avoid artificial fragrances as these do not have the same benefits as essential oils, says Christine.
If You Want to: Reconnect With Nature
"There is definitely more of a focus on earthing in spas, which is tackling this generation's nature deficiency and welcoming the earth back into our lives," explains Melinda Dunn, Spa Manager at The Byron at Byron Resort. "Earthing is all about reconnecting with nature, which has definite spiritual and physical benefits."
Ask For:
An outdoor massage or facial if your spa location accommodates. Usually if it does, the spa manager will make concessions to get you into the great outdoors. If not, choose one that does!
If You Want To: Take It All In
Not all spa experiences are about falling into a deep slumber. If you are the kind of person who likes to keep awake and alert during a foot rub or back massage, ensure that your spa is visually relaxing for you. Even though it sounds superficial, choosing a spa you like the aesthetic of, is very important. "The association of colour varies from person to person and between cultures and sets the tone for your experience," emphasises Co-Founder of Aum Organics, Julian Markin.
Ask For:
• Red, violet, purple if you want to feel invigorated and energised
• Yellow, orange, pink, blue, green if you need calm and cool
If You Want To: Tune In Whilst You Chill Out
Music is a precious tool as it helps relax the mind, and this is something the best spas know only too well. Music should be played at low volume and in timing with the treatment, explains Christine. "When in perfect harmony with the treatment procedures, this music accompanies the different phases, highlighting the rituals, rhythms and gestures. The olfactory journey is echoed by a musical voyage," she says.
Ask For:
Christine encourages asking for the type of music you want, in order to facilitate your wellbeing and emphasis the perception of a personalised treatment. "We are more at ease when the sounds that we hear are those that we want to hear."
If You Want To: Extend Your Spa Experience
Book A Holistic Holiday: "I would say that in the last decade the biggest development has been integration," notes Melinda. Rather than making it an annual stopover, people are building their getaways around a core wellness escape. "The spa and retreat experience has become considerably more normalised and is now a base for people's holidays, rather than a 'health or weight loss camp' as once thought of by most of the population."
Ask For:
The best spa retreats from your travel agent that accommodate families, singles or whoever you are travelling with. Ensure some spa experiences are bundled into the cost, and commit to booking at least three treatments before you even hit the tarmac, so that you are guaranteed respite even when a brilliant book or awesome tourist attraction beckons!

Andrew and I had a stalemate over what to cook for dinner the other night. We both get incredibly irritable when we're hungry. We sat in silence for a good ten minutes after he shut down my pierogi dinner idea before we realized that we were being stupid and that we should go to the grocery to decide what to cook for dinner. We went to Whole Foods and ended up with two Mahi Mahi filets (fish is on sale because of Lent), pineapple, and red potatoes.
I added salt, pepper, and chopped garlic to the non-skin side of each filet. I heated a medium sized skillet to medium, sprayed with cooking oil, and added each filet skin side down. Then I glazed mine in hoisin sauce (Andrew took one whiff of it and wanted to vomit). After about seven minutes I added the pineapple and put a lid over the fish to cook the tops. Before cooking the fish I washed and diced the potatoes, put them in a baking dish with salt, pepper, garlic, and olive oil spray and cooked them for about twenty-five minutes at 375°.
The fish was flakey, moist, and tasted great. The pineapple really added a wonderful touch. I would definitely cook something like this again.

Hi friends!
A few weeks ago, I was invited by my professor to attend the Cumberland Center's 2013 Global South Summit, a conference held right here in Nashville that brought some of the biggest names and brightest minds together to discuss the future of social innovation in regards to food production, health care, and prosperity.
Coming into this conference, I spent some time reflecting on why I decided to go into Social Entrepreneurship. For as long as I can remember, I had always been bothered by things I had seen on the news: worldwide famine, racial and gender discrimination, environmental degradation. When I was five, I decided that I wanted to become President, because I believed that was the ONE person who had the power to change those issues. As I've learned and seen more, I've realized that no one person had the power to overcome these huge issues that have plagued humanity—not even the President. But inside, I always had hope that somehow, I could be a small part of the change that would work to resolve these issues. And inside, I always hoped that there were other people who thought the same way that I did.
This conference wrecked me. By wrecked me, I mean that this conference COMPLETELY changed the way that I looked at our world and the issues that it faces. Not only did I learn that there are many, many people who feel the same way that I do, but they have already made HUGE strides in creating lasting change in addressing these issues. I'm going to briefly give my thoughts on each of the areas focused on, and then talk about the 45 minutes that changed the way that I look at humanity. It's a little lengthy, so if you want to skip to the bottom to get some key takeaways, then by all means, go ahead.
Prosperity: The Cluster Model
As I mentioned before, I came to this conference as a student, not as an economist, so hearing so much about these different industries left me a little overwhelmed. That being said, after attending these sessions and doing some outside research, I was once again reminded that collaboration and innovation are the key to success, and clusters are a means by which to do this. Clusters are a geographic network of businesses, suppliers, and other institutions that work together in a particular market. Clusters can be local, national, or global, and dispense with the traditional business model of individualism and self interest. Speakers from the Harvard Business School, U.S. Small Business Administration, and others all talked about how clusters can help change the way that we look at business. Ninety percent of small businesses that participated in clusters saw an increase in revenue, and the amount of businesses that have decided to participate in clusters have quadrupled. Engaging in the cluster model provides small businesses with services and networks that might have been previously unavailable, and create greater integration into the supply chain and community. Imagine the huge things we could do if we realized that working together we can do so much more for people than trying to do it on our own! Phil Paradice, the Atlanta Regional Director for the U.S. Economic Development Administration said it best: "To be successful, economic development has to be a team sport."
Health: The Frontier of Innovation
So often we see nonprofits asking for donations for research for certain diseases—we may feel inspired to donate to that cause, but once information is gathered, where does it actually go? The health session I attended talked about how we can take the information that thousands of scientists have used and create visible change in our community. One speaker said: "There is a great opportunity to take this abundance in data and create a collection of knowledge." Having medical information is not enough—we have to figure out a way to organize it effectively. Then we have to take it one step further. Overall health changes have to come from the individual, who is impacted by a variety of influences. One of the speakers said: "solving healthcare issues is not up to any one sector. It has to be approached from sociological, technological, economic, and medical perspectives." Therefore, we need to start influencing our culture to one that promotes health and well-being, like the story I heard of a 16 year old who developed an app to help her grandmother with Alzheimers remember to take her medicine, or the open-source Medical Records System that is revolutionizing healthcare records in Kenya. There are tons of ways that innovation in technology can help make healthcare more effective, but it is up to us to embrace these innovations and use them to create real change.
Food: Sustainable Sourcing Models
I was particularly interested in attending these sessions after having worked on a revenue and expense forecast for a local and organic restaurant in San Francisco. The key speaker in this section was Howard-Yana Shapiro, the Chief Agricultural Officer for Mars, Inc. {creator of my favorite Twix bar!} He along with other speakers spent a great deal of time talking about sustainable sourcing, and the connection between the farmer and consumer. So many times we see things on shelves labeled as "organic" or "natural", but often there is no clear idea of what that means. However, people are more drawn to sustainable production methods because of moral, environmental, and health reasons, and Shapiro believes that it is a necessary part of the conversation. In order to start this paradigm shift, we have to start on a local level. Helping to create infrastructure that connects farmers to their local community and makes them competitive is one of the first steps. One of the ways to do this is through Community Supported Agriculture, which is a subscription service by which community members can receive fresh produce directly from farmers in their area. In Denmark, one such CSA has over 200,000 subscribers. A second step is educating consumers about their options. When we as consumers realize that sustainability is the new way of the world, they will demand greater accountability from the big players in the food industry. This will create change from the ground up as we make local choices that have global ramifications. As Shapiro said, "Society will no longer allow you to not be held accountable. You have to have an awareness that what's going around you is not detrimental to the future. This generation must leave the earth better than when we received it."
Abundance—The Future Is Better Than You Think
This was the 45 minutes that changed my life. Peter Diamandis, the founder of XPrize Foundation and author of Abundance, spoke about the way that we perceive our world. Like I mentioned before, it is so easy to get caught up in our world's problems and issues, and simply accept that we will never find a solution. However, if you look at it, we are living in the best times. Our world is less violent, more healthy, and more educated than we ever have been. Yes, problems do persist. But one of the greatest parts about humanity is its constant desire to improve. Diamandis said that "to be human is to be curious." And there are hundreds of thousands of curious minds that are working to solve issues that we once thought impossible.
Diamandis believes that our minds are trained to think local and linear. But technology has shown that we are growing globally and exponentially. Technology has started to digitize, de-materialize, de-monitize, and democratize our world. We have seen this in the music {iTunes}, research {Google}, bookstore {Amazon}, and even long-distance communication {Skype} industries, but it is spreading to other major players. 3-D printing could replace manufacturing {you can print chocolate at home!!}, cloud sourcing could replace universities {a woman in Kenya could have access to a Harvard education through a mobile device}, artificial intelligence could replace doctors {robots that can perform surgeries without mistakes}. And the amount of innovation is only growing. Diamndis foundation, XPrize, awarded $10 million to a group that created a spacecraft that would allow ordinary people to go into space {You might have heard of it, as it was just bought and became Virgin Galactic.} They are now doing an XPrize that will increase literacy in India and Africa. Diamandis helped me realize that you don't have to be the smartest person in the room to create change—the real key to success is figuring out how to bring people with strengths in a variety of different areas together, and seeing how their individual talents can create solutions that are so much bigger than ourselves. In doing this, we can create a world of more than enough—a world of Abundance.
I can't put it the way he did. But if you've got a little time, watch his Ted talk HERE, at put your thoughts in the comments below.
The conference ended with a keynote by the distinguished CNN host Fareed Zakaria, whom I had the privilege of meeting a few minutes before he spoke. Dr. Zakaria also delivered a message of hope: "I want to convey a sense of optimism, because sometimes, I think we forget how far we've come." He talked about our history as Americans, how we have gone through depressions, wars, recessions, and times of great struggle. But, he said, "what you see is crises, but you always see a comeback. There is an inherent resilience in our nation." A lot of this hope lies in the advances made by those who were not afraid to see opportunity in difficulty. Dr. Zakaria ended with this quote: "Innovation remains America's hope and greatest prospect. And I don't see it in the amount of Nobel Prizes we've won, but the young people who aren't afraid to succeed by failing."
KEY TAKEAWAYS {in case you got lost in the academia}:
+Our future is brighter than we think. At this moment, there are hundreds of thousands of people who are working to eradicate hunger, cure diseases, eliminate poverty, and create a better planet. Don't be depressed and think that nothing can be changed. Be motivated and BE the change.
+You don't have to have a PhD to be part of this change. Changing our world starts on the local level, and by the local level, I mean YOU. Realizing your own individual talents and connecting them with others is the key to creating massive change.
+Collaboration is the key to innovation. No great thing has ever been done alone. As Sir Isaac Newton said, "if I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." Working together we can do so much more—and in the end, progress is of more value than recognition.
+Have hope. You are living in the most healthy, peaceful, prosperous, and creative times in history. It's a good day to be a citizen of the human race. See the needs in our society, figure out what you can do to be a part of filling that need, and go do it. At the end of the day, we are all citizens of the same planet, and together I believe that we will move forward, globally and exponentially.
If you'd like to talk more about this, just comment below! I feel privileged and honored to have been able to attend this Summit and would love to share what I've learned.
Go forward, and be blessed,

So after so fucking long Baltimore's hardcore punk super-group Dawn Treader releases another amazing album. Seeing as DT has a lineup similar to the fucking Wu-Tang Clan, this recording features at least ten people. This album is simply amazing, with strings and noise and driving guitars and rock riffs and all the shit that makes Dawn Treader amazing. My favorite track on the album upon the fifth or so listen would have to be "Toaster In The Bathtub". Keith gave me this album a few days ago so that I could be the first to put this album out in the blogspot world, but it looks like it was uploaded onto Sordo as well. I don't know if they are playing any shows anytime soon, but the next time they play you better fucking go see them. Theses files are unmastered, the album will be mastered right before they get this shit pressed, 12 inch I'm assuming. I don't know who is putting it out, but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that you download the fuck out of this and then buy it when it gets pressed. As much as I fucking hate to say it, this is another contender for "BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR". I've heard this phrase a lot lately, I wonder if anyone is actually going to make a list, and then be able to put up with everyone bitching about how their favorite band didn't make it to the top. Fuck it, download Post Mortem.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 02/21/2012
The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
< >< My Prayer >< >
Abba Father 'I come, desiring time with You. I am humbled and grateful that You invite me into Your presence. As I quiet myself before You now, I worship You. I seek Your face. As I spend time in Your presence, tune my ears to hear You speak. Shape my heart and my thoughts. Give me the wisdom I need for what is in front of me. Help me to lead like Jesus.' In the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus. Make me a channel of Your peace, an example of Your presence within me. Standing having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Always asking that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain; reminding us that if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

the fp is travel-by
Travel to Senegal
Flying to Senegal
The national airline is Senegal Airlines (www.senegalairlines.aero), which flies within the continent. If travelling from the UK, options include flights with Air France (www.airfrance.com) via Paris, Iberia (www.iberia.com) via Madrid, Royal Air Maroc (www.royalairmaroc.com) via Casblanca, and TAP Portugal (www.flytap.com) via Lisbon. Delta (www.delta.com) operates direct flights from New York to Dakar.
The cheapest time to fly to Senegal is between January and February.
Blaise Diagne International Airport, located near the town of Ndiass, started operating in December 2017. It serves as a new airport for Dakar, replacing Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport.
In the past few years there have been reports of luggage going missing at the airport, so make sure you have travel insurance just in case you cannot recover your luggage. It's also advisable to use locks on your luggage to avoid anybody tampering with your belongings when you arrive at Dakar airport.
Airport Guides
Cap Skirring AirportCode
Léopold Sédar Senghor International AirportCode
The airport is 17km (10.5 miles) northwest of the city (journey time - 25 minutes).TelephoneAddress
Flight times
From London - 8 hours (including stopover); New York - 7 hours 30 minutes.
Departure tax
Travelling to Senegal by Rail
Recent reports highlight that the Dakar-Bamako train is no longer running.
Driving to Senegal
It's possible to travel to Senegal from Europe by road, and many people do either by their own means or with a tour company. However, recently, because of instability in the north of Mali (one of the entry points to sub-Saharan West Africa) it is not advisable to take the Sahara route.
The following route is recommended if you are thinking of undertaking this adventure: Spain – Morocco – Western Sahara – Mauritania – Senegal. If you are driving straight through, without stopping, this itinerary should take you about a week to complete.
It's also possible to travel to Senegal by road from other countries in the whole of Africa. One of the most popular routes is to and from South Africa. Itineraries for this trip are varied, and it's advisable to enquire within a relevant forum for up-to-date information.
Driving note
West African borders are sometimes known for being troublesome to cross for novices to overland travel. Make sure that you have valid multiple-entry visas for all countries you are to cross, as well as a valid driving licence, insurance and proof of vehicle ownership.
Another bit of advice would be to act confident and friendly when talking to immigration officers and border police, know a bit of conversational French and, even though we do not condone this, have a spare bit of cash if it comes to an officer asking you for a back-hander; it does happen unfortunately and it can speed things up tremendously.
Getting to Senegal by boat
Senegal's main port is Dakar. It's one of the largest deep-water seaports along the West African coast. Other ports major commercial ports are found in Kaolack, Matam, Podor, Richard Toll, Saint-Louis and Ziguinchor.
There are several options if you want to travel to Dakar by sea. Cargo ships on their way from Europe offer passenger services and cruise ships run a regular service from various ports around the world.
River Routes
Ferries cross the Senegal River in the north of the country from Mauritania and operate daily to link the towns of Rosso Senegal with Rosso Mauritania.

Divorce-how to tell the children
Putting your feelings aside for the sake of your children
Divorce is not great for anyone, but particularly not for the children, who may blame themselves for the situation. If parents are able to put their own needs to one side and focus on their children it may be possible to limit the damage.
The most difficult thing may be to co-operate with each other and work out what narrative you are going to offer and maintain, without blaming either party. Explain to the children that it is something that you as parents need to sort out and they do not need to worry. Reassurance is key.
A private space is necessary to break the news, but somewhere that the children are comfortable, so home is best. Think about the timing and what's going on for the children.
Meeting and addressing your children's expectations
The children need to know that they are still a family and always will be. The children will want to know the details of where they are going to live and when they are going to see the most important adults in their lives, so a plan needs to be agreed and achievable.
Make sure you talk to the other important adults in your children's lives; the school and nursey staff can be useful allies and may be there to reassure them when you are not.
Try hard to maintain normal routines for the children, make sure that promises are kept. No matter how difficult this is for the adults.
It is a very emotional time for the children and they may feel torn, they may even feel responsible and try to act as parent, if they feel that you are not coping with the situation. Try to find your emotional support elsewhere, your family and friends are the best place to start, don't rely on your children for support.
Adjusting to a new routine
Once separate living arrangements are settled and parents start to share the parenting of the children, try hard not to be critical of your ex-partner, that person is still your child's parent and they love them.
Make sure your children are okay. Talking about feelings is often difficult; a car journey is often a good place to get a child to open up. If you are worried about the impact there are services available, Talk to your GP to see what's on offer locally.
Look to the future
Remember that it is the beginning of something new. It is change and uncertainty and it is stressful and difficult. However, divorce is not uncommon and your children will know friends and peers who have been in the same position. Identify for them that they are not different to many others in their age group and try to find examples of families who are further along the process and who are happily settled into a new way of family life.
Family Law is our specialty, contact the team if Divorce is an issue.

If your goal like most peoples is to look good naked, get through busy work days with energy and to be active with your kids you don't need to worry about count calories. The thought of obsessing over and tracking every last thing you put in your mouth is a daunting thought and more then likely a huge obstacle that's stopping you from changing to a better diet.
Counting calories can be hard, time consuming and wildly inaccurate luckily there is a simpler way to get the results you want. Stick to eating whole unprocessed foods like meats, vegetables, leafy greens, potatoes, beans, fruits, nuts and consume them in the quantities outlined in this Precision Nutrition article http://www.precisionnutrition.com/calorie-control-guide


text: A fast-growing northern California wildfire killed two firefighters after high winds drove it into the city of Redding, prompting mass evacuations, destroying 500 structures, and threatening thousands of other dwellings and businesses. Flames raging in California's scenic Shasta-Trinity area on Friday erupted into a firestorm that jumped across the Sacramento River and swept into the western side of Redding, home to about 90,000 people, forcing residents to flee. Nine people, including a woman and her two great-great grandchildren, were missing, according to local police. Governor Jerry Brown requested emergency federal assistance to prevent an "imminent catastrophe" as Shasta County tried to find supplies and water for 30,000 evacuated residents and care for horses and cattle rescued from ranches and farms. Officials reported 500 structures destroyed by the blaze. In the small community of Keswick, only a handful of homes remain. Firefighters and police "went into life-safety mode," hustling door to door to usher civilians out of harm's way, said Scott McLean, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. California has had its worst start to the fire season in a decade, with nearly 118,000 hectares burned, according to National Interagency Fire Center data. Helicopters and aeroplanes battled the flames for a fifth day on Friday. 'Terrifying' Liz Williams loaded her two kids in her car and then found herself locked in bumper-to-bumper traffic with neighbours trying to retreat from Lake Redding Estates. She eventuallypulled onto the pavement and "booked it". "I've never experienced something so terrifying in my life," she said. Nearly 5,000 homes were being threatened by the 194-sq-km conflagration, which is just five percent contained. Rob Wright, 61, and his wife stayed to fight off flames with a high-powered water hose. "We were fortunate enough that the wind changed hours ago, and it is pushing the fire back," said Wright on Friday. "We are just waiting it out ... crossing our fingers and hoping for the best." Many cars were scorched by the blaze [Noah Berger/AP] SOURCE: News agencies United States Natural disasters US & Canada

I decided to work on a layout for CK's Weekend Challenge this afternoon. The challenge was to do a layout on the "story" behind your message board name. Well, I don't have a particularly clever message board name (being that it is my actual name). So that was the subject of my layout... how I wish I had a more clever message board screen name.
I have been flipping through my Domino Magazine this week... and one of the things I love about Domino (and Lucky) is that they come with little post its to flag pages you like. I flag all kinds of things that inspire me for different reasons from decorating to graphic layout and design. Kravet's ad is one I flagged in this issue.

I grew up in Cary, North Carolina, which means 100% of the food I ate growing up came from a grocery store. I knew nothing about fresh food or seasonally available food. As far as I knew, strawberries were always just as good in November as they were in April and May. Tomatoes were equally tasty in February and July. I did actually see a few tomato plants growing in pots on the back deck and we had an apple tree, but these tomatoes and apples never seemed to make it to my plate.
It wasn't until one summer in graduate school when Carla made pesto from homegrown basil that I realized the wonder of seasonal foods. After I tasted that first worldview-altering batch of pesto, I spent day and night in a chair next to the basil plants, just waiting for the plants to grow enough to make the next batch of pesto. A lot has changed since then for me. I am much more aware of seasons and food grown in the garden.
Over the past 8 years, I have come to love a few specific summer sandwiches and I figure they are worth sharing. They are especially terrific as picnic sandwiches. And all three recipes include Brie…how did that happen?
1) Ham, Apple, and Brie – Got this one from the sandwich shop next to the Food Lion in Southern Shores/Kitty Hawk.
This sandwich calls for Granny Smith apples, Black Forest Ham (Boar's Head is especially tasty), and Brie cheese. These three alone are good, but it's the homemade rosemary-mayo that puts it over the top. Mix together some combination of chopped fresh rosemary, sugar, vinegar, and mayonnaise for your own taste preference.
2) Peach, Bacon, and Brie
After experimenting, we discovered one detail that makes a big difference: use very thick bacon not regular. The regular bacon just tastes like crunchy stuff, no matter how much you put on the sandwich. If you want to get sophisticated, some high-end supermarkets, perhaps Fresh Market or Whole Foods, sell "Black Forest Bacon". Well worth it in my opinion.
3) Sausage, Onion, and Brie
To make this sandwich, carmelize some onions with brown sugar and butter in a sauce pan. Add some sliced Chicken-Apple sausage and mix. Add a small amount of fresh ground black pepper and 1 Tablespoon of minced garlic. Add some beer, up to 1/2 cup. And for the adventurous ones, add bourbon, up to 1/4 cup. Cook until sauce thickens at least a little. At the end, add some fresh thyme to top it off. This one can be eaten immediately or cooked and then saved to be taken on a picnic.
I experience these sandwiches as gifts from God, and they remind me that He is good, loves us, and desires that life be full of joy and delight. As the younger brother of Jesus once said, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

There are times I just get an idea and want to see how it works out. Sometimes it works out well and sometimes not. I wanted to use the Fiesta plates along with different fruits to create some simple images of color and fruit. I chose oranges, lemons, limes, kiwi, and a pomegranate. I had a lot of fun–and worked pretty hard at the same time. See the results.
Pomegranate Series
I can see that I need a consistent white back ground–that is something to work on and be challenged to achieve. I used a 50mm lens part of the time and a 105mm macro lens some of the time. Great fun to play!!
Thanks for stopping by!!

RICHMOND, Va. – Redshirt Junior Luc Fatton of the Men's Soccer team has been named the Atlantic-10 Offensive Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office Monday afternoon.
Fatton spun a brilliant hat trick in six minutes of play last Tuesday in a 5-1 win against Old Dominion at Sports Backers Stadium. The Rams used the performance to finish with a solid victory and tie on the week.
Thanks to the goals, Fatton is tied for the team lead in that category with teammate Rafael Andrade Santos. The Charlottesville native looks to add to that total this Tuesday night in the Rams matchup on the road against the Akron Zips.
The other award winners were Greg O'Connell of Saint Joseph's, who won Defensive Player of the Week, while both Tunde Akinlosotu of George Mason and Jallah Acqui of Duquesne were selected as Co-Rookies of the Week.

When I started life i design just over 5 years ago, I had an idea about what I wanted to do for a new career/business, I just had no idea what I was doing?
I knew I wanted to make art, sell art, and live a life that suited my personality and passions. I just didn't know who I was as an artist, how to start a website, how to open an online shop or how to create graphics and take photos to help sell my art.
I took a few in person and online classes from independent instructors and through lots of trial and error, I found my way as an artist and as a creative entrepreneur. I haven't stopped learning actually. I take online classes often, sometimes weekly when I have time.
A few years back, I discovered Skillshare. Skillshare is a site where you can learn just about anything that has to do with art, creativity, business and design. It's where I started my journey learning how to navigate Adobe illustrator and create vectors out of my art. It's where I learned about calligraphy and what tools I needed to become successful at it. Skillshare is where I explored watercolor and learned how to navigate Instagram.
Because of the very generous teachers on Skillshare, and varied topics, I've been able to build my creative business and work from home as I take care of my busy family while being able to be my own boss. I have much admiration and gratitude for all the teachers and courses I've taken (some I've watched over and over again!)
Now the tables have turned.
If you have been following me for a while, you'll know that I've been teaching modern calligraphy workshops all over my local area. I have a goal to create online classes for those who can't take an in-person workshop and who want to learn my style of Modern Calligraphy with me. I am taking the plunge and am teaching my very first online calligraphy class!!! .
I feel like I have so much to teach and share with having built this little online business of mine. So I am giving back to the Skillshare community by publishing my classes on their platform and am excited to be nearing the finish line with creating my very first class!! (it's been a huge learning curve!!)
I am grateful and excited to have my Modern Calligraphy class featured on Skillshare's blog as one of the new up-coming classes to be launched!! High fives!! Check out the feature along with the other new teachers they are highlighting, as we work towards our first classes!!
Now the pressure is really on to finish.
I am brainstorming ideas for classes as I type this, but I feel like this is the beginning of a larger goal of mine... to help those looking to learn something new and possibly starting a side hustle, or a creative business that they can grow and thrive with.
Check back at the end of the month as I pop a bottle of bubbles to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter for me here on life i design!!

Fractional Ownership
Although many people dream of owning vacation property, most either cannot afford the type of property they want, or reason that they would not use the vacation home often enough to justify the expense. Fractional ownership provides a solution to these problems by allowing each co-owner to pay only a fraction of the costs and ongoing expenses of vacation home ownership, and share the risks of unforeseen maintenance problems and upkeep with others. Of course, in exchange for spreading the costs and risks, the owner gives up some of the usage rights and freedoms of whole ownership. As job and school commitments prevent most people from using a vacation home more than a few weeks or months each year, some loss of freedom and control is often an acceptable sacrifice for the tremendous cost savings.
The most popular model for fractional ownership usage is the Usage Assignment Approach. Each co-owner is assigned the exclusive right to use a home during a specified number of days, weeks or months each year. The usage periods can be
• fixed (e.g., the month of February or the first two weeks of February and July);
• variable (meaning they change each year); or
• a combination of fixed and variable.
Usage rights can be restricted to owners only, or extended to family, friends, rental tenants, exchanges, or any combination of these. Different usage rights may apply to different usage periods. Usage periods can be assigned through an annual rotation among the co-owners of preset groups of days, weeks or months, an annual selection or draft process based on a rotating system of selection priority, a reservation system, or any combination of these usage systems.
The above description is provided as background only. Villa Giulia will be owned and operated under a nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation organized in California. This type of corporation does not generate any profits, but allows ownership transfer under US laws and provides for management of any local expenses. These include items like utilities, cleaning and maintenance.
All rights and responsibilities will be governed by a set of bylaws (currently under development).
How many shares are available?
Currently there are five four-week shares available.
Can the shares be resold?
Absolutely, the deeds are fully transferable, assignable, or can be passed from one generation to the next.
What are the expected annual costs?
As this is new construction, maintenance should be very minimal for many years. Utilities will be only a rough estimate until usage patterns are established. A rough guess is about €500 - €600 per four-week block of ownership.
How much do hotels in Lerici cost?
As a point of reference, there are only a few hotels in the immediate vicinity, they fill quickly and typically run about €220. Less expensive hotels can be found in La Spezia (less than 30 minutes away).
Can owners rent their time?
The answer is no. The bylaws will prohibit renting for several reasons. We do not want to run afoul of Italian tax laws and the owners want to maintain a pristine environment. Sharing with close friends and family is permitted, with the suggestion that they preserve and respect the property.
Can we have the same block every year?
The answer is yes. At this time the managing partner has determined that January, February and March will not be offered for sale. These months are the least desirable and will be used for any necessary upgrades or maintenance. Should a potential owner be interested in any of these months, please contact the managing partner.
How much will one month cost?
The final cost has not been determined. This is because the final design and finish materials, appliances, closing costs, and taxes have not been determined or purchased. At this time there is a reasonable range that can be discussed if there is an interest.
What is the next step?
This is up to you. We strongly suggest a visit to the area before making a commitment. While the location and specific property are the end result of years of research and endless walking, driving, reading and exploration, this may not be the perfect place for everyone.
Do I need to speak Italian?
Everyone should speak Italian! But you can easily get by in this area. Most restaurants, shops and educated residents can speak some English. This is really up to you, but don't expect Lerici to be like Cinque Terra—overrun with foreign tourists. This is an Italian experience and is a vacation destination primarily for Italians from Milan, Genova and other cities.

Smithfield NC – On Monday, the Johnston County Commissioners and the Johnston County Economic Development Advisory Board recognized the Iowa 80 Group, better known as Kenly 95 PETRO of Kenly for their commitment to Johnston County and community support by honoring the company with the County's "Industry Appreciation" award. This award is presented quarterly to Johnston County Industries.
"78% of all jobs created come from Existing Industries and Businesses and they are extremely important to the economic strength of Johnston County", stated Jeff Carver, Chairman of the Johnston County Board of Commissioners. "Today we are honored to recognize the Iowa 80 Group, their commitment to providing excellent jobs and continued support of our communities".
The Iowa 80 Group was founded by Bill & Carolyn Moon in 1964, and is now operated by their son and daughter Will and Delia. In addition to the Kenly location, the Iowa 80 Group, located in Walcott, Iowa operates 3 other major Truckstop facilities in Iowa and Missouri, including the Worlds' Largest Truckstop in Walcott, IA.
The current location was purchased in 2004 from Don Stallings and the Iowa 80 Group immediately embarked on a five year plan to take the Kenly location to the next level. After a series of small upgrades, they began a major upgrade, doubling the size of the main building from 18,000 sq. ft. to 35,000 sq. ft.
It has approximately 190 part and full time employees, and has an annual payroll in excess of $4 million dollars and entertains close to 1 million guests annually. Along with the various fuel products they offer, it is also home to: The Iron Skillet Restaurant, Wendy's, Subway, Dairy Queen and Caribou Coffee
"Ernie Brame and his staff at the Kenly 95 PETRO are steadfast supporters of the northern tier of Johnston County, the Town of Kenly and the Kenly Chamber of Commerce," expressed Johnston County Commissioner Ted Godwin. "We are proud of their investment here in Johnston County."
According to General Manger Ernie Brame, the Kenly location currently has revenues approaching $50 million each year, and remits more than $2 million in taxes ranging from motor fuel taxes, sales, payroll, and property taxes.
They also own a chain of truck washes, and CAT Scales, a nationwide network of Certified Truck Scales.
During his remarks to the Commissioners, Mr. Brame stated that the Moon family is very pleased and honored to be recognized by Johnston County and indicated continued growth is in the future. In closing, he declared "the best is still yet to come."

5 Things I Learned at Ladies Music Club's First Panel
Almost four months ago, my friend and fellow local music photographer Jenna Million and I had a simple idea: to host a meet-up for women in Austin's music industry to come out and meet each other. We selfishly hosted our original meet-up to make friends but quickly realized that this was an untapped market in the city.
Our humble meet-up morphed into a Facebook group, now called the Ladies Music Club, for women to connect and share resources. We plan to remain focused on happy hours and nights out together, but we did a crazy thing this week and hosted the group's first panel—a guide to incorporating your business if you're a self-employed creative in the industry.
Hosting the panel in and of itself was a learning experience—I haven't hosted events in quite awhile—but it more importantly did a good job (in my opinion) of sharing much-needed, ableit not very sexy, information about taxes and registering as a sole proprietorship. I recently went through both of those processes and I wish I'd had something like this to attend months ago.
Our panel featured Maressa Munoz of Ameritax Austin (my accountant!); Nathalie Phan, founder of On Vinyl Media; and Lauren Trahan, founder of Paper Moon Entertainment. We also had amazing vendors—Silk Club, The Audacity, and Women of Venus.
If you wanted to attend but missed it, here's my five biggest takeaways from the panel. (Full disclosure: I didn't take notes since I was moderating, so these were the ideas that were ingrained in my brain!)
Should you incorporate your business? Yes, probably.
Maressa, the accountant on the panel, explained that as self-employed workers (that includes freelancers, by the way!) the best way we can protect ourselves from the IRS and others is by registering as a sole proprietorship or an LLC (a limited liability company).
In case you're like I was when I first entered this world, and don't know the difference between a DBA and LLC, here it is: LLC and DBA are two acronyms commonly used to indicate important legal aspects about a business. LLC, or limited liability company, refers to a separate legal entity that is distinguishable from its owners. DBA, or doing business as, refers to a pseudonym that an owner uses to conduct business. You have to have a DBA to get an LLC, and LLCs cost a lot more to get than a DBA. If you plan to grow and have staff, or want to protect your personal self from liabilities, an LLC is for you. I kept it simple and just obtained my DBA. Both can be used to open up a business bank account.
Regardless, new businesses need their own mission statement.
When I reached out to our panelists about what they were really passionate talking about, Nathalie told me she thought it was really important new businesses develop a mission statement from the get go. As she explained during the event, developing that and core values helps center a business on goals, create focus, and aid decision-making. It also creates a company culture and evangelizes a like-minded audience. Lauren also pointed out that it gives you something to cling to during difficult times with the company—whenever you feel frustrated and need to be reminded why you're doing what you do, you can re-read your mission.
When Jenna and I first started Ladies Music Club, our first concern was developing a mission statement because we knew it would help us keep focus on our goals and not meander away from our original intentions. Our mission is: This is a private group for both women and non-binary folks who work at some capacity in Austin, Texas' music industry to come together to collaborate, share advice, go to shows together, and kindle friendship. Like a book club—but for music.
As the owner of Tess Cagle Photography, my mission is to work with local businesses, community organizations, bands and individuals to create photos that accurately share their stories and services to potential clients, fans and friends. You can find that on my "about" page—it helps potential clients figure out if we have the same goals in mind.
Prepare early for tax season.
This was a crucial component of our panel, as we were aware that a lot of folks showing up may have been burned pretty badly by the 2017 season. Maressa stressed that the best way to prepare is to track, track, TRACK expenses throughout the year. She also really stressed how important it is to track your miles—for every mile you drive for your business, you can expend 53 cents. That can really add up and save you money. It also might be better for business owners to files taxes quarterly—every 3 months—rather than annually.
The one app that I use that's totally worth every penny is Quickbooks' self employed app. Once you sync your bank account with the app, you can immediately track how much you've spent and earned as a business. It also automatically tracks your mileage for you.
Make sure people need your product before investing.
Nathalie brought up the great point and piece of advice that business owners should make sure their product is actually needed in the market before investing a ton of time and money into it. She suggests doing that by putting out surveys, interviewing potential consumers, and analyzing the market before launching anything.
Develop a personal schedule that works for you—and don't apologize for it.
Let's be real—us self-employed folks chose the career track that we did because working 9 to 5 doesn't work for us. Still, some of us feel embarrassed to admit to our full-time friends that we don't wake up at 6:30 a.m. every morning and work til 5 or 6 o'clock. Lauren gave a really great example of how she's learned to embrace her strengths and weaknesses—she's best at tackling emails and analytics in the morning, she's tired in the afternoon so that's the best time to have meetings, and she's most creative at night so that's when she does design projects.
I still struggle with this but I know how important it is create a schedule and set boundaries between work and personal life. For example, I take Tuesdays off most weeks because I spend Friday and Saturday shooting events and all day Sunday catching up on edits. I've also accepted that most days I sleep until 10 because I worked so many evenings for portrait sessions and concerts. Self-employed folks have got to embrace what makes them different from corporations and run with it.

I have a bit of a habit of doing things on my birthday. Spectacular things that is. And they don't come more spectacular than climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Well not in my book they don't! My faithfully buddy in crime, James, was invited of course. Can't do something like this on my own, and I was later told he wouldn't have let me anyhow! My Mother, the utter trouper that she is, insisted it was going to be her birthday present to me. We didn't argue too hard, because the prices are not for the faint hearted.
Bridge Climb Sydney have a fantastic website that talks you through the whole process. There are several different climbs to choose from and videos of each to help you decide. The entire operation from the website to the climb itself is very slick, very professional. Whilst we waited for our 10.45am climb we watched a video on what was about to happen and then we were escorted through to the other side to be kitted out. This whole process is well explained and executed, your safety is their priority. And the blue and grey jumpsuits you must wear are so flattering, NOT!
Lets get to the good stuff, the climb. You are very securely linked onto a safety line the entire climb, never at anytime did I feel scared. Being tall was interesting as there were a few low bits under the bridge to negotiate. Being physically fit is an absolute must or you would not enjoy the experience. The guide points out things of interest and talks you through the history of the bridge via a little headset we all wore. It was not a continual commentary, the sort that drives me mad. She would check everyone was alright periodically and when she found it was my birthday she got the group to sing me Happy Birthday on top of the bridge! she later apologised if it embarrassed me, as if!
I am going to let my many pictures do the talking regarding the views. I will just say I smiled the entire climb.
Tips for Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge
You can't take cameras, phones or GoPros. A group photo is included in the ticket price, the others you have to buy (sneaky!).
You can't wear anything on your wrists, so watches, bangles etc must be left in the locker.
You can wear your glasses/sunglasses, they will be attached to your jumpsuit via a cord. Likewise they will supply you with a handkerchief, cap, waterproof and headset all of which can be securely fastened onto your suit. You get to keep your cap as a souvenir of the day!
Don't worry about trying to take water, there are several water fountains along the way for a drink.
There are secure lockers for handbags and wallets. You have to go through a metal detector, so keys etc must all be left in the lockers.
The average climbs takes about 3 hours and burns about 600 calories, so this is not the day to skip breakfast!
They provide sunscreen, so do avail yourself of it because it gets hot up there. You won't notice at the time because of the wind.
