Who Let the Puppies Out?/
Skye Donaldson

"Bella! Bellaaaa," says junior Griffin Burton. It seems as though this kind of event that occurs when Burton opens her room to a guest happens all too often. Bella, a yellow lab and Burton's Leader Dog in training, has squeezed her way out of the gap that Burton has created in the doorway and has darted into the hall to greet me. Burton has just returned from work, and before that, golf practice, and is not amused in the least. I put my notebook, phone and pen in one hand, and help funnel Bella back into Burton's room in Barbier with the other.
Last year, the Barbier dorm didn't have a soul living in it last year. Barbier is old, not attractive, and can't even be found in the Residence Halls tab on the RC website.
But now a few residents live in Barbier — some walk on two legs, some walk on four.
Burton and Bella enjoy their new home in Barbier, which was renovated to accommodate the students who are caring for RC's inaugural class of puppies. The college partners with Leader Dog for the Blind to provide students and employees the opportunity to raise puppies who will become guide dogs through Leader Dog's rigorous training program.
Burton was chosen for the program and committed to raising Bella for a minimum of one year. At the end of her training, Bella will become a guide dog for a blind, visually impaired or deaf-blind person.
In addition to training Bella, Burton plays on the basketball team and golf team, works an off campus job, and is in her junior year as both an elementary education and an early childhood major, balancing 17 credits this fall semester.
While her job and athletic practices are physically demanding, the Leader Dog Program demands more than physical aspects.
"There's a bunch of different guidelines," Burton said, "You have to say 'park' when she goes to the bathroom because when the dog is actually on duty she can't just go to the bathroom. 'Park' is the command for the dogs to relieve themselves."
Burton said following the guidelines is the most challenging aspect of raising Bella. Her puppy has to wear her bandana when she's working, can only have certain toys, and has to know how to heel, sit, stand and laydown. She especially can't jump on the furniture, which is something Bella really likes to do, Burton said.
As I sit on the floor of Burton's room, Bella begins to gnaw at the ice bags I have icing my arm. While I ask her trainer questions, Bella promptly sits in my lap and starts to lick my ear. So much so that she finds the need to put her paws on my shoulders while licking my face whole, effectively bringing me down to a prone position on Burton's floor.
"Despite what she's doing to you right now, she's a very even-tempered dog. Compared to the other puppies, she's super calm. She does get excited when she sees people, but once she figures out it's time to work, she's ready," Burton said.
Bella now sits beside me gnawing again on the ice bags. She manages to strip away a strand of Saran Wrap that was holding the ice to my arm and brings it to Burton so she can fish it out of her mouth. Burton finds the Saran Wrap tucked away in the back of her mouth and pulls it out. Along with the strand, a baby tooth plops onto the floor and Bella proceeds to lick at it curiously. "And she's losing her baby teeth now. That's not the first one that's fallen out on me."
Burton compares raising this puppy to what it might be like to raise a child. When Bella sleeps, Burton sleeps. "I told my mother I was not having kids anymore because it's just too much work!" she says, jokingly of course.
Going to 'puppy classes' is almost like taking your kid to school, if school only happened once a month, Burton explains. Puppy classes are group classes for the puppies. In each segment, a certain subject will be taught. In her last puppy class, Bella learned about stairs.
While at the puppy class, Bella's puppy counselor evaluates how she is doing, and judges Bella's weight and fitness. The counselor also works with Burton to advise on what she needs to be doing in order to help Bella be successful.
Scott Cagnet, assistant dean of student engagement, helped develop the Puppy Program. "Our best hope is to be able to expose the puppies that are undergoing training to as many experience and environments as possible," Cagnet wrote. Additionally, the Rochester College webpage for the Puppy Program emphasizes that RC is" dedicated to serving the community by raising and providing behavioral training to puppies that will later serve those who are visually impaired."
Burton's motivation for joining the program aligns well with RC's intentions of raising the puppies on campus.
"I love puppies. They're one of my favorite things," Burton said. "I can't have a dog of my own, so this is the next best thing. But I think I want Bella to pass this training so she can help someone. That's the ultimate goal: to help someone. I think this is one of the best ways to help, hands down."

Most of her 7 million Instagram fans posted positive remarks regarding her appearance and stated how excited they were about seeing her back in the recording studio.

Hood comes in with 11 games of playoff run under his belt. Toronto's lead is two games over Boston and the two teams play each other Wednesday up north. For Cleveland, shooting guard Kyle Korver (foot) and point guard George Hill (ankle) are both questionable.

I think I've asked you this, but do you guys read the New Yorker? You should really read the New Yorker. Fantastic writing, smart commentary, interesting range of subjects. Learn about why you should eat bugs.
Anyway, last week's edition carried a piece by Ian Frazier titled "The March of the Strandbeests". Strandbeests is Dutch for "beach animals", and the article is about the artist/engineer Theo Jansen who has spent the last decade creating animals out of PVC (and such) which are entirely wind-powered. His motivation: Creating a solution to Holland's looming water crisis. Not the same water crisis the rest of the world house, one of those dwindling resources we think are infinite things. Rather, rising sea levels threaten to encroach on dry land. Jansen invented his Strandbeests to throw sand from the beach onto the iconic Dutch dunes as a protector against rising tides.
Read the article, of course, but also watch this video. Unless you see the animals in motion you won't really get what you're reading. And, I think, you won't really get why all this reminded me of Billy Collins' lovely poem, "Student of Clouds".
Student of Clouds
by Billy Collins
The emotion is to be found in clouds,
not in the green solids of the sloping hills
or even in the gray signatures of rivers,
according to Constable, who was a student of clouds
and filled shelves of notebooks with their motion,
their lofty gesturing and sudden implication of weather.
Outdoor, he must have looked up thousands of times,
his pencil trying to keep pace with their high voyaging
and the silent commotion of the eddying and flow.
Clouds would move beyond the outlines he would draw
as they moved within themselves, tumbling into their centers
and swirling off at the burning edges in vapors
to dissipate into the universal blue of the sky.
In photographs we can stop all this movement now
long enough to tag them with their Latin names.
Cirrus, nimbus, stratocumulus –
dizzying, romantic, authoritarian –
they bear their titles over the schoolhouses below
where their shapes and meanings are memorized.
High on the soft blue canvases of Constable
they are stuck in pigment but his clouds appear
to be moving still in the wind of his brush,
inching out of England and the nineteenth century
and sailing over these meadows where I am walking,
bareheaded beneath the cupola of motion,
my thoughts arranged like paint on a high blue ceiling.
If you all haven't looked at John Constable's paintings, shame on you.

The answer is... yes, I do jumping shots when asked. Honestly, we kinda came to the idea with the help of one of the groomsmen. Hey, don't knock it if it works :)
I love details during the pre-ceremony. Lips, eyes, eye lashes, finger nails, etc. They're all fair game and usually result in some pretty nice images. Amy's lips are a great example!
How perfect was this mug.
Joy? I think so... or was that pain :) Even if it was pain, it soon turned to joy...
Amy's brother played a beautiful song during a private communion Amy and Michael shared.
No, 212 doesn't have any significance to them... well, it didn't until now. Play the lotto kids!!!
Killroy(s) was here.
Who can pass up a round of mini-golf in a wedding dress. Who knew that once we got on the course Amy would get all serious on us.
This beautiful cake was decorated by one of the bridesmaid's mother.
You go girl!
There needs to be a whole lot more of this at weddings. Bring back the smearing and glaring ;)
We ended the night with a stroll and shoot on the lit up streets of historic St. Augustine.

AES President Meets with Dr. Kushal
Chris Rico
AES President Linda Reifschneider flew to Raleigh, North Carolina, April 8th-11th, for an update in person with Dr. Kushal K. Sarma, our veterinarian friend from the Assam, India, area who, with AES funding, has held elephant healthy clinics as well as making emergency 'house calls' when needed. Dr. Sarma was an instrumental participant in the Elephants on the Line community conservation program taking place in Bhutan and northern India and was in Raleigh, NC, as guest of Scott and Lisa Mills, to present to various university and public audiences about this conservation effort. It was good to visit with Dr. Sarma again in person, Linda having met him a few years ago at a veterinary workshop in Sumatra. His presentation was most informative and attention riveting as this is a veterinarian who works hands on with both captive and wild Asian elephants needing his expertise. It was also good to meet Scott and Lisa and hear about their efforts and commitment to this community based program.

LISBON – Portugal's economy faces "virtual stagnation" in 2013 after a deep contraction of 3.1% this year, the nation's central bank said on Tuesday, after austerity imposed by an EU/IMF bailout triggered an unprecedented fall in private consumption.
In its quarterly economic bulletin, the bank also did not rule out that the debt-laden country may need to take additional measures to meet its bailout target of a 4.5% of GDP budget deficit this year.
It revised this year's gross domestic product forecast from a more gentle 2.2% drop predicted in October. It also revised its estimate for last year's GDP decline to a slightly less painful 1.6% from its previous estimate of 1.9%, on stronger than expected exports.
The new 2011 and 2012 estimates are in line with recent government forecasts, implying the deepest recession in Portugal since the chaotic return of democracy in 1974. Portugal's weak economy and relatively heavy debt burden forced it to seek a European Union/International Monetary Fund bailout in 2011.
Next year, the Bank of Portugal expects the economy to grow just 0.3%. The government has previously said it expects a recovery to begin towards the end of 2012, expecting as yet unspecified modest growth in 2013.
"The risks surrounding this projection for the economy are clearly downward as a less dynamic world economic growth would have an impact on exports, and possible additional budget consolidation measures would affect internal demand via direct impact on the incomes of households," the document said.
It added that last year's one-off transfer of nearly 6 billion euros ($7.6 billion) from banks' pension funds to state coffers, which allowed the country to meet its 2011 deficit target, would have a reverse effect in the future, implying additional social spending.
The bank said it expected export growth to slow to 4.1% this year from last year's estimated 7.3%, but then pick up steam again in 2013 to grow 5.8% growth.
But internal demand is expected to contract by 6.5% this year — more than the bank's previous forecast of 4.8% — following last year's 5.2% drop. Next year, internal demand is still seen contracting 1.5%.

It's that time again. Most of us make resolutions or promises to ourselves at the beginning of each year of all we are going to do that year and as each month ends we begin to think we are losing time.
I decided at the end of each month instead of thinking of what we haven't accomplished, we should think about all that we have.
Truth Moment-As I began to do this post I felt like I hadn't really achieved much this month but then I remembered everything should be celebrated big or small so check out my list and then add yours.

I am patting myself on the back and saying You Go Girl!
Let's celebrate you now. What all have you accomplished this month? Don't forget…nothing is too small.
Until next time,

@ColoradoTrust Community Partnership meeting 6-9 pm tonight means the second early slice in a row because I can't be sure of being back in time to write and post. The formula is: evening meeting ➤ earlier than usual daily post rather than none..
PS (aside to readers new to the SoL series) "slicing" = writing slice of life blog post for SOLSC, a blogging challenge...more below.
I just posted here about yesterday's meeting at the Community Center with Pedersen Planning about the Yuma Municipal Plan at Life in the Manor, on Facebook (check the left sidebar on the blog too).
Could enough evening meetings be "cure" for late night slicing? Are pantsing (seat of the pants blogging) and late night slicing ailments in need of remedy, as the word "cure"suggests?
IMO the real writing lesson here is flexibility: have writing preferences and rituals but be ready and able to write when you need to.
2017 is the tenth year aka #sol17 of the Slice of Life Story Challenge (SOLSC) hosted by Two Writing Teachers (TWT). Slicers write and post a "slice of life" story before the 11:59 ET deadline every day during the long month of March. The rest of the year, "slicers" write and post Tuesday slices. In between (and during) challenges, TWT regularly posts articles on writing and teaching.
PS During the month of March, a TWT slice icon is at the top of my blog sidebar but not always in the footer. As in life, I like variety in my slice icons

The Roanoke River
One of the largest rivers in North Carolina, the Roanoke River is the major tributary to Albemarle Sound. The Upper Roanoke River begins in Virginia at the junction of the North and South Forks. Along its mid-section, the river is impounded into a series of reservoirs, including Smith Mountain Lake, Leesville Lake, Kerr Lake, Lake Gaston, and Roanoke Rapids Lake. After exiting the dam at Roanoke Rapids Lake, the river flows freely before emptying into Albemarle Sound.
Habitat along the lower river is protected by the Roanoke River National Wildlife Refuge. The complex encompasses five different tracts of land along 70 miles of the Roanoke River from Hamilton, NC to western Albemarle Sound.
Among the most popular freshwater species are largemouth bass and several species of catfish. For panfish enthusiasts, the river holds white perch, yellow perch, black crappie, bluegill, fliers, redear (shellcrackers), redbreast sunfish, rock bass, Roanoke bass, and warmouth. The river also sustains a number of threatened or endangered species, including Atlantic sturgeon, shortnose sturgeon, and others.
Several anadromous fish species enter the Roanoke to spawn, including American shad, hickory shad, river herring, and striped bass (rockfish). Striped bass begin moving into the river in late March or early April, eventually moving up the river to their main spawning grounds near Weldon, North Carolina.

This is the first full book of WCW's poetry I've read and I was pleasantly surprised by his range, considering it's only his more spare poems that get anthologized. I really have never understood why "The Red Wheelbarrow" has been singled out for so much press. It's instructional value? As an example of imagism? Now that I've read more of his work, I think it's even more ridiculous that "The Red Wheelbarrow" has become representative of his poetry because it really isn't.
I also feel vindicated in my earlier purchase of a two volume set of his collected poems and look forward to reading those as time allows. This 200 page volume was discovered at a used bookstore for $1.50 and I just couldn't pass it up. And I'm glad I didn't, not only because it has whetted my appetite for the collected works but because it will make a great loaner to others curious about him.
I'm not quite finished with this book. The last 40 pages are excerpts from his long poem "Paterson," which I'm finding I need to read slowly to catch how he's layering things. Thus far I'm finding it a very interesting poem. The same person who put together the collected volumes has also brought out an edition of Paterson and it's now on my amazon wish list.

Egypt govt. the enemy of Palestinians tightens noose around people in Gaza
Egypt's military-appointed government has tightened the noose around Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, Press TV reports.
The military-backed government has not only destroyed the underground tunnels between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, but also kept closed its sole crossing with the impoverished enclave, the Rafah crossing, for most of time since the beginning of 2014, the report added.
It also said that the crossing was only open temporarily for two days this month.
Twelve Palestinian human rights organizations, including al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, have appealed to Egypt to reopen the Rafah crossing.
"We call on Egypt to reopen the Rafah crossing immediately to help ease the suffering in Gaza," Samir Zaqout, an official from al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, told Press TV.
Zaqout also said that Israel is responsible for the suffering in the besieged enclave.
"Israel bears the mere responsibility for the blockade and the international community is also responsible as it allows Israel to continue its actions against Gaza," he added.
The Rafah crossing is Gaza's sole gateway to the outside world as many people in the blockaded Palestinian coastal enclave avoid traveling through the Israeli-controlled Erez crossing in northern Gaza.
Egypt military tightened the restriction in Rafah and created hardships for Gazans in the aftermath of the ouster of former Egyptian president, Mohammad Morsi.
Gazans argue that the closure of the Rafah crossing has increased their suffering and will leave them at the mercy of the Israeli-controlled crossing.
Israel imposed an all-out land, aerial, and naval blockade on the Gaza Strip in June 2007 after the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, took over the administration of the territory.

A statute does not just memorialize a person—by choosing who to honor, a community inherently projects its own spirit. Take, for instance, the statue of Frederick Douglass on 110th Street or The Immigrants at Battery Park. Or more recently, the Fearless Girl, erected in Lower Manhattan, which has pushed more than 150 companies to add women to their all-male boards and become an international symbol for women's empowerment.
Unfortunately, the Fearless Girl joins five—only five!—other statues of women in New York City: Eleanor Roosevelt, Gertrude Stein, Golda Meir, Harriet Tubman, and Joan of Arc.
To that end, City Hall, under the leadership of Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen, has introduced the She Built NYC initiative. This important campaign calls on New Yorkers to nominate women they'd most like to see commemorated with a monument in the city. It's a move that lets us praise New York's most accomplished women, and it's an opportunity for us to nominate a woman of our own.
Grace Hopper was a decorated United States Navy Admiral and computer scientist who both innovated her fields and represented the best of New York. A native of the Upper West Side, she achieved much in her lifetime, including being one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer—a groundbreaking device used by the United States during World War II.
Hopper's achievements are almost too many to count. In addition to being an admiral, she was an esteemed mathematician, software engineer, and pioneer of what we now call COBOL—computer programming based on language rather than complex symbols. Her work revolutionized the business and technology worlds, and her work on a common programming language paved the way for computers to talk to each other instead of one-off programming for each computer built. For her work, she received nine military awards. Her other honors include being the first individual female recipient of the National Medal of Technology in 1991 and posthumously receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016 from President Obama.
A statue of Admiral Hopper is a worthy representation of the massive contribution by women to New York's success. She is a uniquely accomplished female tech icon, and it's important that we recognize her work as an affirmation of New York's future as a global tech hub.
A statue for Grace Hopper doesn't capture all of New York's diversity by itself. But it's surely a start, and we can think of no better New York woman to commemorate for generations to come.
This effort falls under the city's broader Women.nyc initiative. You can follow the #SheBuiltNYC campaign on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. We encourage others to nominate additional historical New York women.

Our experienced endodontist and team of professionals are committed to keeping you comfortable, informed and relaxed at every visit.
When a tooth has been severely compromised due to injury, decay or dental disease, it can cause damage that extends beneath the outermost biting surface, into what is known as the dental pulp. The dental pulp contains the core tissues and nerve supply of the tooth, and when a tooth has been damaged, bacteria can seep in and infect the dental pulp. As your West Texas root canal specialist, our goal is to resolve infection, alleviate oral pain and preserve your natural tooth in the dental arch. Endodontic treatment may include root canal therapy, endodontic retreatment and apicoectomy. We aim for the most conservative course of care; our staff is experienced working with instruments that allow us maximum visualization of the anatomy of your teeth on a microscopic level. We also utilize Cone Bean Computed Tomography, which allows us to obtain a complete and accurate 3-D image of underlying problems so that we can deliver the most precise diagnosis and effective treatment plan. We understand that many patients experience dental anxiety and strive to make endodontic treatment as stress-free as possible by utilizing safe and controlled sedation techniques. We also offer comforting amenities to help you relax during treatment, including movies, music and TV.
For an experienced West Texas root canal specialist who is committed to exemplary endodontic care, visit us at Lubbock Endodontics. Our goal is to help you enjoy a lifetime of excellent oral health. To learn more about endodontic treatment or to schedule an appointment, call today.

Bang For Your Buck: Backdrops Over Details
You've seen the magazine pages and Pinterst boards filled with all the gorgeous wedding details. We've been conditioned to drool over them. I loved spending time planning and creating details that would be used around our wedding. I even had pins saved for beautifully curated bathroom baskets to have on the restroom counters for guests.
But let me hop in and let you in on one detail you may be overlooking. If photography is a priority for you, focus more on your backgrounds and atmosphere of your wedding space. The details are wonderful, BUT my advice would be to start by planning the larger elements of the room/venue/outdoor space/etc. and work your way down to the smaller items if time and budget allow.
My reasoning:
A majority of your photos are going to show "big picture" items (pun) while only a handful of your photos will feature the smaller details. Let me put it this way... Whatever is behind you during your ceremony is going to be in basically every single ceremony photo. Those monogrammed napkins you've got your eye on will be in probably 1-2 photos.
By focusing on the look and feel of your event space and decorating accordingly, you'll get way more bang for your buck. And like I said, if time and budget allow, go wild on the smaller details.
So, how should you go about creating a killer vibe at your wedding?
1. Choose venues that compliment the look and feel you're going for. Decide if you want to go downtown, chic, rustic, outdoorsy, modern, etc. Choose something that is totally you. My husband and I were set on having an outdoor ceremony because the outdoors is very much a part of who we are. Our aisle was a hiking trail and our guests sat on tree stumps. We didn't have to decorate because of all the beautiful trees we were surrounded by. We brought the outdoors in to our reception and decorated with a lot of greenery, tree stumps and floral accents.
Tip: When you're visiting venues, be sure to ask if they are able to accommodate any specific ideas you may have (hanging lights, candles, bringing in your own decor, chair and table rentals, etc.).
2. Ceremony backdrop. If you're getting married in a church or similar indoor facility, you may not have much control over this. But if you are getting married outside or somewhere you have the freedom to decorate or arrange, think about what you'll want to see behind you and your wedding party. Don't overcomplicate it - simple is good. But again, make sure it compliments the feel you want your wedding to have and be sure it's something you'll want to see in your wedding photos.
Bonus: Make it movable and bring it over to the reception to be used as a backdrop to the dance floor, head table or a photo booth.
3. Reception lighting. No matter if your wedding is inside or out, lighting is the best way to create atmosphere. If you have neon disco lights on during your first dance, your photos will have neon colors in them. If that's what you're going for, great. If not, talk to your DJ! Ask your venue if they have examples of what has been done in the space before so you can get a feel for what different things look like.
Other big ticket ideas to look into: ceiling hangings, installation art, hanging lights, photo booth backdrops, floral installations.
Just remember, don't get too caught up in the details! Everything will come together beautifully whether or not you get that bathroom basket assembled (which I did not, by the way).
Have a backdrop idea you'd love to try?! I'd love to hear about it!

For our review of last episode of Manifest, click here.
Synopsis: Michaela's mystifying, next level calling launches her on a mission that brings her relationship with Jared to a head. Determined to protect his family, Ben explores an alternate meaning to Michaela's calling that leads him to a new alliance and a powerful new adversary. Cal's struggle with Ben's absence from home forces the Stones into an agonizing confrontation that could alter the family's fabric forever. (TVGuide)
Writers: Amanda Green and M.W. Cartozian Wilson
Director: Michael Smith
Rating: TV-14
Running Time: 43mins
Airs: Mondays at 10pm on CityTV (Canada)/NBC (United States)
"Crosswinds" starts off with Michaela visiting the grave of her mother and recapping everything she's had to deal with since coming back. At Fiona's facility, Autumn receives some text messages to update Belson on the status of the subjects and Ben, but the passengers all jerk back in sync causing Autumn to become concerned. Fiona and Saanvi come in and think that the passengers are still connected and believe that their best course of action is to warn the rest of the manifest.
Ben looks over his spider web of theories and information at Michaela's apartment, but finds he is getting nowhere. Rather than feel stuck staring at a wall, he heads to Vance's memorial to pay his respects and possible get a lead. He's confronted by an agent who tells him to leave, but as he leaves Ben is approached by a journalist that wants to know more about his connections to the NSA. Meanwhile at Stone residence, Grace is making frozen waffles, her go-to depression meal, and the kids are concerned. Cal questions why dad isn't home, but Grace says he just needs some time to deal with some stuff.
Saanvi brings Michaela to the facility to see the various patients, but upon recognizing one she receives a new Calling. Michaela is transported away to a snowstorm and hears a voice say "Find her." As they contemplate what that means, the passenger Paul wakes up from his trance. They question him and ask about his life, but he doesn't remember anything of his past life. Saanvi tries to see if Michaela can wake the rest of the passengers, but it seems her similar story to Paul's has created a connection between them.
They bring the passengers to the facility to ask if anyone else has had a Calling like Michaela's, but when Fiona starts to discuss her area of expertise, the pilot pulls Ben aside with some concerns about how suspicious it is that she was on the plane. Ben tries to reason with the pilot, but he still feels the backlash from society over what happened and wants to figure this out alone. As he leaves, Ben notices Autumn watching in the distance. She comes over and tells Ben about the Major, a significant player in the experiments, giving him a new lead. When Ben leaves, Autumn throws her phone into the ocean.
Ben listens to the journalist Aaron's podcast on his way back to the Stone residence to hang out with Cal. They shoot some hoops while Cal questions why he isn't at home and Ben tells him that he just has to deal with some things first, but things are fine. He returns to his car and hears Aaron use a term that Autumn said, "The Holy Grail," and decides to pay him a visit. They discuss what this could be and how it could lead them to the identity of the Major, but they need clearance.
Meanwhile, Lourdes tries to convince Jared to stay off work a while longer and rest, but he wants to get back to the office. He returns to work and is greeted by a surprised Michaela. He wants to pull her aside to talk, but she's more concerned with finding Paul's missing wife Helen and Jared decides he wants to join in on the case. They arrive at Helen's house to notice she disappeared shortly after the plane returned leading her to believe she might have been taken. She returns to the facility, but finds that Paul does not recognize her.
Ben and Saanvi arrive as the three of them discuss what they've all learned about Paul's wife, the Major and Jared's lead. They head to a motel where Helen is hiding and learn that she fled because Paul was abusive and she didn't want him destroying everything she built while he was gone. Back at the precinct, Michaela questions why Jared never came to the hanger and sees herself as the wrecking ball that could have ruined his entire life. At the facility, she berates Paul for his actions causing Saanvi to drag her away.
Meanwhile, Ben crashes Powell's lunch to plead with him for help in investigating the identity of the Major. He lays it all out on the table, but Powell says he cannot help and that if he wants to stay safe that he should walk away. Luckily, Powell has a soft spot and calls Ben about the Blackhawk the Major was on. While her name is classified, they know she'll be arriving in New York and that they should be ready.
Olive meets up with Danny and tries to convince him to come by the house and see her mom because Olive knows she misses him. He arrives for dinner that night, but Grace wants nothing to do with it causing Olive to storm out in frustration. Cal texts Ben to come over, but he becomes agitated at the sight of Danny and they get in a shoving match. Grace reveals that she was the one always torn between two worlds and Ben understands that it wasn't his place to disrupt that and decides to let himself out.
Jared confronts Michaela at her apartment and admits that if he had come to the hanger he would have never gone home because Michaela is his soulmate. He cannot live without her and she embraces him. Waking up during the night, Michaela instantly regrets her decision when she receives a text from Ben that the Major is coming. Ben goes on Aaron's podcast to discuss the Major and protecting his family. Danny tells Grace he is going to take a step back until she is ready and knows what she wants and decides to leave.
Back at the facility while they discuss what to do with the passengers, Michaela has another Calling revealing another person's hand in her perspective and perhaps this is someone else's Calling. On the street, Powell is picked up by a black SUV and agents. Jared looks over a sleeping Lourdes, Grace looks over her sleeping children and Autumn is confronted at a coffee shop for her lost phone and is asked to speak with the Major. The episode ends as Saanvi discovers what the Major's Holy Grail is: finding passengers who are more sensitive to the Callings. They worry that Cal is in danger as he lays in bed having Michaela's Calling from earlier, his hands freezing cold.
Captain's Log
- Who is the Major?
- Whose Calling are Michaela and Cal experiencing?
- Can Michaela and Ben protect Cal from the Major?
- How long until Lourdes finds out?
- Who else will we meet from the manifest?
Overall, Crosswinds was a decent episode. The focus on the situation involving the passengers and their callings are becoming more and more prominent and while that answers a lot of questions regarding the series premise, it detracts from the episodic nature of the show which was a strong aspect of the character building and drama. It was a good, slow refresher to return to the series and hopefully the story picks back up in the coming weeks.
Score: 7.5/10

Let's start off by noting how sleek yet flirty this leather skirt is! Honestly, one of my best Savers Find. I've honestly been on such a Savers hunt for the past couple of months but I was never a thrifter to be honest. I hated the sight and especially- the SMELL of thrift stores. I am still a bit picky now but I am willing to bend towards special thrift stores that come highly recommended. I definitely recommend thrifting to everyone trying to bring their style to another level, there are numerous reasons but the most important is that thrift stores hold clothing gems that you will never find in stores. Think vintage styles, unique prints, quality material,etc. Please do a little yelping and find a thrift store gem near you, you'll thank me for it later!
