2--> Please CONTRIBUTE $25, $50 or even $100 and VOLUNTEER on our website TODAY, and share our website with your friends & colleagues.
3--> Please SIGN my nominating petition ONLINE by clicking the link at:
And now the latest from the Capitol…
--> Budget: The Governor continues to stick with her overly optimistic revenue projections and fund sweeps, which leave a $700 million deficit for the year she leaves office. Legislative Republicans are giving it until this Thursday to try to do a deal with her. Which means that they could come knocking at House Democrats' door soon after to start negotiations on our fiscally sensible budget that also invests in education at all levels, CPS, hospitals, KidsCare, and true job creation. If we get 40 votes in the House and 20 in the Senate, we won't need the Governor at all -- yes, it could happen!
Alternately, there is some talk that House Majority leadership may go to Plan B: Finish up bills this week or next, adjourn Sine Die, then call a Special Session once the budget is ready. I don't really see this working for them, however, because often Speakers and Senate Presidents have used their control over the progress of member bills as leverage for budget votes -- a powerful tool for motivating their caucus. Hopefully we will know a lot more next week.
This week's bill tracking briefs:
--> First, more progress to report: My long-term care bill to help middle class families and the seniors they love, HB2713, passed through Senate Caucus yesterday, and is on the Senate COW calendar for tomorrow. Nearly there!
--> HB2625, the attack on women that would allow your employer to deny birth control coverage to you if they had a "moral or religious objection", has threatened to come back on reconsideration after last week's defeat, but was skipped over each time it was calendared. The sponsor Debbie Lesko (R-Glendale) is still looking for two senators to change their votes on reconsideration, and has promised that she will amend it to cover only religious-affiliated businesses and institutions, if it is voted through to conference committee. There are no takers as yet, but it will continue to be a threat until we adjourn Sine Die.
--> Things did not go well today for women's health, doctors' freedom to practice, and families' right to make their own decisions. HB2036, Kimberly Yee's (R-Phoenix) striker to ban all abortions after 20 weeks (making AZ the most restrictive state in the Union) and criminalize women's healthcare, passed a final vote in the House 37-22, and is now on the Governor's desk to await signature or veto.
The debate was long and dramatic, with many majority members expressing that they want to send doctors to prison for performing abortions starting at the moment of conception, regardless of extenuating circumstances. Other members, including a few Republicans who describe themselves as "pro-life", opposed the bill and pointed out that most severe birth defects -- the ones that threaten the viability of the fetus and the mother's health -- are not yet detectable at 20 weeks.
The bill would mean that once a family is able to determine that their child will be born without a brain, for example, it will be too late to consider legally ending that pregnancy -- a doctor performing the procedure would be sentenced to 6 months in prison.
Sadly, many of the Members who spoke movingly about the sacredness of life at conception and the importance of defending the vulnerable unborn are the same members who have consistently voted for budgets that cut funding for vulnerable developmentally disabled kids after they are born. Because of this bill, and its substitution of legislators for parents in the role of family decisionmakers, there will be more severely disabled kids that will need that care.
--> On a better note, a bad bill for credit-card users went down 12-18 in the Senate today. Rep. Jeff Dial's (R-Chandler) HB2664, would make it easier for out-of-state credit card companies and credit card debt buyers to collect debts from Arizonans that have already been paid, dismissed, or forgiven. This type of business practice has actually been legislated against in many other states. Luckily, this time a majority of senators agreed that we should be protecting Arizona consumers from predatory lenders, not serving them up on a platter.
I have one final exciting note for those of you who have been working hard alongside me for the past eleven years to build high-quality, economy-growing, job-creating, community-building rail transit in Tucson. Please join me this Thursday at 11am as U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and other honored guests come to town to kick off the construction phase of the Tucson Modern Streetcar. We will be celebrating at 1657 E. Helen Street near the BIO5 building on the UofA campus. I hope to see you there!
Thanks for your continuing faith in me as your Representative.

For more information about your horoscope be sure to schedule a psychic reading in person, by phone or skype for more clarity with Lisa and Heather.
Capricorn Dec. 22nd - Jan 19th Hello Capricorn! This week it is likely that you will experience a change, possibly in several areas of your life, that brings about a new beginning. This change may take place at work in the form of instituting a new policy or project, or you may consider a new job altogether. Perhaps you will find yourself considering starting or ending a personal relationship, which brings about a new beginning. Know that as anxiety producing as such a new beginning can sometimes be, that underneath it all is good, beneficial energy that is getting you where you want to go. You have a good idea already of what must be done, but the hard part is the doing of it. The Divine is guiding you to muster your courage and take the steps you need to take. Don't delay.
Aquarius Jan 20th – Feb 18th Hello Aquarius! This week it is all about "doing the right thing". We have rules and systems in place for a reason, and Spirit is guiding you to try to operate within them. If you are struggling with an issue and are unsure about what is "right" for you to do, Spirit is guiding you to trust your instincts. Work will most likely go well this week, so long as you stay organized and work within the rules. All signs point to this being a good time to work or get together in groups, even if you are more typically a loner. You will probably find romance will function better if you follow a more traditional path than unconventional one. Ritual of any kind is helpful to you now. If you have health challenges, discipline, order, and commitment - in whatever way that makes sense to you - is the way to go about it.
Pisces Feb 19th – Mar 20th Hello Pisces! This week the Divine is guiding you to nurture yourself, and to allow others to nurture you. Things are likely to improve in the work place. If needed ask for support from your co-workers. There is someone, most likely a male, who is very much on "your team" and will be there for you. Your romantic life will be in good energy. If you are single, someone who is very balanced and loving is headed your way soon. Spirit is asking you to face the reality of your financial situation and to ask for help if needed. Treat your body with care and compassion this week. Perhaps it is time to put in place some boundaries for yourself and others.
Aries Mar 21st – Apr 19th Hello Aries! This week Spirit is letting you know that renewed good times are on the horizon for you. You may consider leaving a situation that is no longer working for you. If you are receiving gut feelings that tell you that you really need to get out of a relationship, job, or living arrangement, then trust yourself. Whenever there is a separation of this sort, there can be sadness involved, but in general, know that this is for your highest good. You can feel assured that you will be making the right choice. If you feel stress impacting your health, be sure to pay attention to diet, exercise, and the amount of sleep you are getting. Look for balance and keep positive.
Taurus Apr 20th – May 20th Hello Taurus! This week should be a good week for you in the area of relationships. You are likely to be feeling more than usually cared for, loved, and content. Expect to be feel comfortable and appreciated in the workplace. If you are worried about money, Spirit is letting you know that for the moment and near future, you should be finding that you have more than enough money to meet your obligations. If you are in a romantic relationship, keep working to maintain the balance in your partnership and enjoy the loving energy from your partner. You are likely to be feeling "at one" with the energies of the universe and with yourself. You should be feeling more than usually loving toward everyone and everything. The Divine is guiding you to share that good energy.
Gemini May 21st – Jun 20th Hello Gemini! This week you are likely to have a great deal of mental and physical energy and Spirit is cautioning you to use it wisely. In the workplace or possibly in your love life you may experience some conflict. If so, check yourself. Are you trying to hard, pushing too fast, or possibly stepping on the toes of others? This is a good time to pay attention to the body language of others and contemplate how well you do or do not accept constructive criticism. Consider giving your partner some space as this is crucial for his/her happiness. The Divine is guiding you to ask for help from experts in matters of your finances. Don' assume you know more than you do and be careful not to overextend yourself financially at this time.
Cancer Jun 21st – Jul 22nd Hello Cancer! This week you will most likely need to put in a lot of very hard work. This work can be personal or professional. Spirit is guiding you to think about what it is you are working for, and be prepared to ask for help if needed. The dedication you put towards everything on your plate that needs accomplishing is admirable, but remember that no one should work all the time. You can only do so much, so be realistic and strive for balance. Make a point to make time and space for your romantic partner, as your workload or that of your partner may be intruding on the relationship. Consider your priorities and where your time and energy is going. Make sure you have room for the important people in your life.
Leo Jul 23rd – Aug 22nd Hello Leo! This week things should be going well, projects should be progressing right on track, and in general you should be feeling pretty good. The Divine asks you to take any moments of self-doubt or possible fear and do away with them, as that will disrupt this positive energy flow. Be confident to speak your truth and let people know where you stand on issues and situations. Trust that your mind has clarity and your thinking is clear, which could help others by tactfully showing them how things truly are. This energy flow you are in right now could set things in motion for a positive change to occur either in your personal or work life. Keep thinking for yourself remaining independent of other's influences. Put energy into your future, making decisions that are well thought out and based in research. Turn your worry and fears to your advantage in order to grow stronger to face what is ahead. Enjoy the positive energy flow this week.
Virgo Aug 23rd- Sep 22nd Hello Virgo! This week there is positive energy all around your work life. Even if you don't work outside of the home, your efforts are being seen, appreciated, and are well respected. You have a lot to be proud of regarding your work performance, even if you haven't see the rewards or been given the feedback you were looking for. Hold your head up high and know that you have a lot to bring to the table. You are likely to find that your finances are going much better too. Things are looking up, but do not overextend yourself financially. Be sure to put some away for a rainy day. Take a look at your romantic life and consider if your partner is treating you as an equal. If not, speak up and make your position clear to them. If you are single and wishing for romance but have no prospects, consider that you are spending too much time on work and not enough attention is being given to your personal life. Your efforts to improve your health are starting to show. Don't hesitate to consider alternative ways to treat or deal with challenges.
Libra Sep 23rd – Oct 22nd Hello Libra! This week you may find yourself in situations where you may need to reason with others. The Divine is guiding you to remain detached and objective, in order to ascertain the truth and seek out only the facts. Be quite direct about what you are observing. You may be concerned that you are not being particularly caring or sympathetic but at this point in time, this detachment is what is needed most. This is a time when you need to leave emotions out of it, and remain as objective and rational as possible. You have clarity of mind and can perceive the truth right now, so you must take the lead with providing an objective point of view. You may ascertain that you may be the one who needs to change something major about your behavior, thoughts, and/or expectations. Try not to be overly sensitive this week. Remain objective in your response and outlook in life.
Scorpio Oct 23rd – Nov 21st Hello Scorpio! This week the Divine is asking you to remember that no matter what your situation, that you always have options to choose from. Don't allow other people tell you that your options are limited. If you come to that conclusion, be sure that you are coming to it on your own. It will be crucial to remember that you can free yourself from whatever restrictions are holding you back, at any time you choose to do so. You may have the feeling now that you are not in control of your life; sometimes this happens as a result of your own actions, but more often as a byproduct of inaction. So, take action, take whatever steps you can to give yourself the feeling, however slight, of being in control. It can be as simple as making a choice on what you are going to have for dinner. Small steps are important, too. Remember you hold the keys to your own freedom. Don't give up hope!
Sagittarius Nov 22nd – Dec 21st Hello Sagittarius! Good news is headed your way this week, possibly in the area that deals with matters of the heart. The Divine would like you to be open to exploring your feelings about your romantic as well as your platonic relationships. You may find that you will receive positive messages with regards to these relationships. Expect to feel charged and ready for action in personal and work matters. Look for projects in your work to start moving in a better direction, most likely sooner than expected. Divine wants you to feel proud of your accomplishments as well as your contributions. Good news about your finances is on the horizon. If you are concerned about your finances, the Divine would like you to figure out exactly where you are financially (down to the nickel), as the situation is not as bad as you think. If you are on a spiritual path, you can expect to enter new realms in your spiritual exploration. Be aware of signs from Spirit that will open up new ways of looking at things for you. In particular pay attention to things that appear to be coincidences, as these are often the way Divine tries to deliver messages.

Relegation In College Football/
By Rixon Lane
Five years ago, the world of college football was rocked by news of conference realignment as Nebraska bolted for the Big Ten and Colorado headed west for the Pac-12.
Since then, other teams have followed suit and abandoned their former leagues in search of greener pastures.
It can all be very confusing at times, but what if it didn't have to be?
What if college football took a page out of professional soccer's playbook, did away with conferences all together, and utilized the concept of relegation?
For the sake of this exercise, here's how relegation would work: Eight 16-team leagues, labeled A-H, with A being the top tier and H being the bottom. Each league would be divided into two divisions. Teams play each of the seven opponents in their division and rotate five cross-division opponents to create their 12-game schedules. After four seasons, winning percentages for every team are tallied. The top two teams from each league move up, while the bottom two are sent down.
Here's what the leagues would look like, based on every team's winning percentage from the past four seasons:
League A
East Division:
Alabama, Cincinnati, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, Louisville, Ohio State, South Carolina
West Division:
Baylor, Boise State, LSU, Michigan State, Northern Illinois, Oklahoma, Oregon, Stanford
League B
East Division:
Arkansas State, Central Florida, Georgia Southern, Lousiana-Lafayette, Marshall, Notre Dame, Toledo, Wisconsin
West Division:
Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Southern Cal, Texas A&M, TCU, Utah State
League C
East Division:
Auburn, East Carolina, Georgia Tech, Ohio, Penn State, Rutgers, Virginia Tech, Western Kentucky
West Division:
Arizona State, Ball State, BYU, Houston, Mississippi State, San Diego State, Texas, UCLA
League D
East Division:
Bowling Green, Duke, Florida, Miami, Navy, North Carolina, Vanderbilt, West Virginia
West Division:
Arizona, Fresno State, Louisiana Tech, Michigan, Rice, UT-San Antonio, Utah, Washington
League E
East Division:
Appalachian State, Arkansas, Iowa, Middle Tennessee, NC State, Northwestern, Ole Miss, Pittsburgh
West Division:
Air Force, Colorado State, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon State, San Jose State, Texas Tech, Tulsa
League F
East Division:
Boston College, Buffalo, Kent State, Maryland, Old Dominion, Syracuse, Temple, Tennessee
West Division:
Central Michigan, Louisiana-Monroe, Memphis, North Texas, SMU, Texas State, Western Michigan, Wyoming
League G
East Division:
Connecticut, Florida International, Indiana, Kentucky, Purdue, UAB, Virginia, Wake Forest
West Division:
California, Illinois, Iowa State, South Alabama, Southern Mississippi, Texas El Paso, Troy, Washington State
League H
East Division:
Akron, Army, Eastern Michigan, Florida Atlantic, Georgia State, Miami (OH), South Florida, UMass
West Division:
Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Tulane, UNLV

text: Share: Comments Print December 5, 2011 at 6:39 PM Feds sue Seattle couple, alleging benefit fraud Posted by Mike Carter A Seward Park chiropractor and the woman believed to be his wife have been sued by the federal government for allegedly collecting welfare benefits and food stamps while living in a $1.2 million lakefront home in South Seattle. The lawsuit was filed on Friday, three days after federal agents executed a criminal search warrant at the home of David Silverstein and Lyudmila Shimonova, who the lawsuit says "are believed to be man and wife." Shimonova claims to be disabled and has been the recipient of the benefits. The suit alleges that Silverstein has been collecting more than $1,000 a month in federal Housing and Urban Development rent subsidies for Shimonova to live in the home near Pritchard Beach on Lake Washington. HUD, however, said it was not aware that Silverstein was living at the home with Shimonova, and that the couple appear to be married — conditions that would make him ineligible to receive the payments, and wrong for Shimonova to apply for them. The lawsuit alleges the couple violated the False Claims Act by lying on applications at least seven times over the years. The lawsuit, filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle, alleges that Silverstein received more than $135,000 in housing benefits while living in the home. The lawsuit and search warrant say Silverstein was routinely seen at the home driving a black Jaguar. Federal agents from the HUD Office of Inspector General executed a search warrant at the lakefront home on Nov. 29. The warrant said agents are investigating the couple for mail fraud, Social Security fraud and theft of government funds. No criminal charges have been filed.

My mind goes back to January 2012, when Heyneke Meyer was appointed Springbok coach. For many, his appointment was seen as vindication of a process which saw him purportedly robbed of the position in 2008.
Expectations ran high after his predecessor was, possibly unjustifiably, berated more for slips of the tongue than the actual performance of the national side. I include myself in this regard.
From 2008 to 2011, the Springboks, under Peter de Villiers, won 30 of their 48 matches, or 62%. Under Meyer, the tally was 34 victories and two draws in 50 matches (66.7%).
Things were tough in the beginning. As "Ou Grote" puts it:
After his first seven tests in charge, Heyneke Meyer has a 42% win ratio. This is the worst return of any Springbok coach since Carel du Plessis in 1997 with 37%. By comparison, Peter de Villiers boasted a win ratio of 71% after his first seven games in charge, having beaten the All Blacks in New Zealand for the first time since 1998.
Meyer made two major errors during his tenure.
- At the start, he was leaning too heavily towards copying what worked for him during his golden years at the Bulls.
- Towards the end, and particularly at RWC 2015, he, like Peter de Villiers, could not get the mix between experience and talent right, placing far too much emphasis on older players beyond their prime.
Allister Coetzee has kept a low profile since his appointment, electing to work behind the scenes, communicating with players and coaches on what he expects of them.
Unlike his predecessors, the captaincy of the side is not the most pressing issue, despite what we read in the media. The early announcement of John Smit and Jean de Villiers in past years made it virtually impossible to retract as time showed that they were possibly beyond their best form.
While Duane Vermeulen is possibly the best option, SA Rugby's insistence that the captain should not be playing overseas brings Strauss and Lambie into the picture.
Do not be surprised if Coetzee opts for dual captaincy. Lambie will have to make way for Jantjies on occasion, as will Strauss for a replacement from the bench.
Selection of overseas players
This has suddenly become an issue for many. This reminds of the old saying: "I have principles. If you don't like them, I have others."
I bet that those bleating for local players, only, will be the biggest supporters of using overseas based players if we suddenly get whacked in the front row, or find ourselves short of an experienced scrumhalf.
Can we blame players like Steven Kitshoff for making use of the opportunity to earn big bucks with the state of the Rand, or CJ Stander for fulfilling his dream to play international rugby, albeit for Ireland, after being told by the coach that he was too small? I bet he can't wait to prove this statement wrong.
The idea of adding a clause that you can be selected for SA and play overseas, provided you have played at least x number of tests, is utter rubbish. How many more players of the calibre of Stander and Richardt Strauss do we want to lose?
In my view, Coetzee faces more than enough political challenges. He does not have to be encumbered unnecessarily with more restrictions.
In view of the late start he had, the series against Ireland should not be regarded as part of a long-term plan. Use it to gel experience and raw talent, see who comes out on top, and build from there.
I am more than confident that we have enough players who can make the side on merit without so-called quota selections.
A last positive thought on Coetzee: He certainly learnt a lot from Jake White, not only as assistant coach in the 2007 RWC, but also through their years of friendship.
White has, yet again, proved his merit with the performance of Montpellier this year. I have no doubt that part of Coetzee's behind the scenes work involved picking Jake White's brains, just as White did with Eddie Jones.
Expect some unpopular choices, and be prepared to apologise when it comes to fruition.
This will be nothing new for SA rugby fans – we do it every time a new coach is appointed.

Ms. N's boudoir session in the Washington DC studio reminded me a lot of this quote from C. JoyBell C. I came across:
"There are two things we should always be 1. raw and 2. ready. When you are raw, you are always ready and when you are ready you usually realize that you are raw. Waiting for perfection is not an answer, one cannot say "I will be ready when I am perfect" because then you will never be ready, rather one must say "I am raw and I am ready just like this right now, how and who I am."
Women often tell they aren't sexy enough, pretty enough, skinny enough or any of the "enoughs." And I get it, I catch myself saying these things. What will it take to finally realize that you are enough? That's it, you're enough for anything.
Now, I can get super preachy when it comes to a topic like perfection, but I will hold out and save that for another blog post!
Until then, I want you see what Ms. N's session was like straight from her:
I've always felt like I wasn't "enough" to be sexy. I felt parts of me weren't big enough to be sexy, other parts weren't small enough to be sexy. I felt like I never grew out of the "girl" stage, and even had trouble thinking of myself as a "woman." I thought everyone saw me in one specific way, and I wanted to show there was another side to me, even if I was the only one to know that side existed. I finally realized that I am enough, just the way I am. It's not about the clothing measurements that make you feminine or sexy. I became interested in boudoir a couple of years ago and decided to do it as a 25th birthday gift to myself. It was time to feel like a grown ass woman!
Once I decided I wanted to do a session, I looked into a lot of photographers in NoVA. After looking at Julie's portfolio and reading client reviews, as well as her website in general, I knew she was the photographer I wanted to schedule my shoot with. Other photographer's pictures looked very posed, unnatural, and heavily photoshopped. Julie's photos look as if she captured moments in your very own home. I loved how she explained everything on her website, and I was sold after reading reviews that said how helpful she was walking you through the entire process. Everything from the initial email and consult, outfit choices and posing, to picking up your album is perfectly orchestrated by Julie.
My biggest fear was that my pictures would look posed and awkward. After all, posing in front of a camera can be daunting to begin with, let alone posing in your undies! I was worried that I would let my insecurities take over my session, and that those insecurities would be reflected in my pictures. Julie was amazing because she walks you through every pose along the way (and cheers you on as you do it!) After just a few minutes I was totally at ease, and following Julie's lead. I wasn't worried about if the poses were "flattering" or showing off my "good side," I just trusted Julie's expertise!
One of my favorite parts of my session took me by surprise: the posing! I was worried about looking silly in my pictures, but Julie cheered me along after every picture. I loved when in between shots when I would naturally shift/readjust how I was standing or sitting, Julie would catch it, and say, "wait! I love how you did that! Do it again!" and snap a picture.
My other favorite part was when I first got to the studio and showed Julie what I had brought to wear. I brought a couple of options I liked and some accessories, but I wasn't sure how to pair them. I loved seeing Julie's vision blend with what i had brought when she paired my outfits with stuff she had in the closet of her studio.
Do it for you. If you spend all of your time worrying about this spot or that thing you don't see as "perfect," you'll never see how truly amazing you really are. Don't wait until you've lost x pounds, don't do it for your man's birthday. Do it now. For you. You're stunning exactly how you are. You are enough. There is nothing wrong with wanting to do this for YOU. It doesn't mean you're vain, it means you finally realize you're worth it.

Digital broadcasting is the future. And YouTube is at the forefront of providing a platform for those who have a voice: something to say, something to share, something to stand for.
There are 819,417,600�hours of video on YouTube. 10,113 Youtube videos generated over 1 billion views thus far in 2016. The total number of people who use YouTube? 1,300,000,000. And you should be one of them.
If these mind-blowing stats don�t entice you to run to your camera phone right now and record something then I don�t know what will.
Since I�ve started producing 5FM�s YouTube channel, 5FM TV, I have realised the power of this phenomenal medium. So when Cell C approached me about their #BreakTheNet talent search I jumped at the opportunity to share this with my followers. I sincerely believe YouTube is the future of broadcasting and a way for African broadcasters and entertainers to bring their content to the world!
So this is how it�s all going DOWN! Cell-C are searching for the next big thing on YouTube. The next Suzelle DIY. The next Derek Watts and the Sunday Blues. The next Blessing Xaba.
And they really are providing the winner with a serious push in the right direction! The winner of the #BreakTheNet search walks away with a cool R250 000 AND (wait for a it�) a FULLY paid trip to Hollywood. Tinsel Town, Africa is a comin�!
Here�s how you enter:
- Create a mad hot one minute video. What counts as hot? You have YouTube, work it out.
- From 15 September – 15 October, you can upload your video on the Cell C Reality App. Anyone can enter, but only Cell C subscribers can win prizes.
- Once entries close, our mentors will pick 30 videos to become our chosen, shortlisted few.
- The 30 contestants will be given 5 challenges for the next 8 weeks. The first on 23 October.
- They'll have 48 hours to create and upload their video, and then get it to go viral. And just like all internet stars, the ultimate winner will be chosen based on how many views they get.
For more info you can visit the #BreakTheNet site here.�You can also follow Cell C on Twitter here for more updates.
Oh and don�t forget to download the Cell C Reality App to catch all the drama unfold on Google Play here and the�App Store there.
Good luck rising YouTube stars! I can�t wait to see what you�ve got.

These people are the most wonderful folk. They helped my family when we were in a very desparate situation and worked with the hospital to help my mom's transition from independent to community living go smoothly. I cannot say enough good things about them and consider them livesavers. The facility is equally wonderful - really giving its residence everything they need and beyond. My mom raves about the food as well. We are so glad we picked UMV and encourage others to do so!

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
September 19, 2016
I visited this facility
I was very impressed with Methodist Village. The dining area was OK, and it's very clean.
August 31, 2014
I am a friend or relative of a resident
I chose United Methodist Village for my dad because it is very nice. The staff working there is very good. They also have a wide variety of social activities. They have outings, exercise, and book groups. I could say that the food is adequate. They don't have a dining room though. They have individual dining areas for the small groups. The security of the community is very good.
July 25, 2013
I visited this facility
I was looking for a place for my mother and I happened to visit The United Methodist Village. Just basing on my visit there, it appeared to be very well run. I like their director there. She was very warm and very friendly. The people there were just willing to meet your needs. It was a very nice place but it just happened to be a little bit larger and I like for my mom to stay in a smaller home atmosphere. Their accommodations were pretty much the same as other facilities. They also have studios, one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom apartments. They were a little bit more expensive though.
September 10, 2012
I visited this facility
The village is located far enough away from the main road to be quiet, peaceful and secure. However, it is still conveniently located near several shopping malls and restaurants, fast food as well as sit down. The people who work at the facility are very helpful and friendly. It is quite clean there and the meals are above average with plenty of choices. The people appear to be active in most cases although there are exceptions. There are many choices of living arrangements. One can choose separate living quarters in areas resembling private homes. There are levels of care in different areas of the facility, depending upon the person's ability to take care of themselves. There is a safe area outside that residents can use to exercise and there is a library available for all to use. I see no evidence of neglect or disrespect at any time. I am not sure how people pay who live there. I believe it must be connected to one's social security somehow.

Cook rice for about 40 minutes until it's really gluggy and sticky. Then let it cool.
Give teams a portion of the rice each. The competition is to use the rice to mould something. You can let them do it without any further instructions or you could have a particular challenge (ie. create a eiffel tower or a replica of a statue).
Make sure each team is getting all their members involved for the best result.
Most creative, beautiful, accurate rice model wins!

As the title for Painted Zeros' debut record, Floriography works excellently as an analogy for making and releasing music. Also called the language of flowers, floriography was popular during the Victorian era. People would send one another specific floral arrangements that were infused with meanings that could be decoded using a reference book, allowing the senders to express feelings that were considered inappropriate in Victorian society.
The follow up to the 2014 EP Svalbard, Floriography is the result of several years' songwriting effort. As with Svalbard, all songs were written, performed and recorded by principle member Katie Lau. She expertly gives the instruments their own personalities within the songs, even as the layers and textures pile on. This, combined with the seamless transitions between tracks, makes Floriography feel like a rolling ocean with buoys throughout it to anchor the listener and help navigate the seascape she has created.
The album opens with the wall-of-sound "Flatline" and both lyrically and musically suggests itself as the catalyst for what is to follow: "Your eyes look so bored, but I remember how they used to look before." It segues perfectly into "Only You," an airy song held together by a melodic bass line. It recalls either a memory or dream of an idyllic young love, but then goes into the highly danceable "Call Back," which begins to look on with resignation: "For now, I'll wait until I get the call back. And if you don't, oh well." Given the seamlessness of the record, the diversity between songs is impressive, with Lau just as capable of ripping through the aggressive garage punk of songs like "Palm Tree" and "JMZ" as she is of playing the crooning Americana of "Spring." And the slacker interjection in the bridge of "Leave Me Be (Not Me) is spot on.
An inverse situation to that of the Victorian era, the sentiments explored in Floriography are not inappropriate or even exceptional. The struggles of a twenty-something trying to figure out who she is, exacerbated by heartbreak and recurring sense of alienation from the city she lives in and the social circles she occupies are nothing new. But what is impressive is Floriography's candor and breadth in exploring these struggles in all their different emotional iterations: anhedonia, bitterness, fragility, sadness and, in rare moments, content. Though the songs and recordings are precisely crafted, there is also a palpability and immediacy that makes them relatable and evocative. And in the language of music, that is one of the best things an album can do.

This special edition of the National Film Unit's monthly magazine series looks at some of the "people, places and events filmed by our cameramen during the years 1941 - 1962". The NFU's 21st birthday review — compiled by David H Fowler — ranges from wartime newsreels to the post-war boom (factories, dams, industrial agriculture), from salvos to Peter Snell. Other images include Kiwi soldiers playing rugby in Korea, and cigarettes hanging from the lips of firemen fighting Christchurch's Ballantyne Department Store fire in 1947.
This 1944 newsreel documents arrivals at a Wellington wharf from the Middle East: New Zealand soldiers and Polish children. For the refugees it was the conclusion of an epic wartime survival tale: an exodus from Poland via Siberian labour camps, to being greeted by Prime Minister Peter Fraser in NZ. The Poles then take the train past waving crowds to their new home: a camp in Pahīatua. Twenty years later the children were revisited in Kathleen O'Brien's classic 1966 documentary The Story of Seven-Hundred Polish Children.
Veteran broadcaster Paul Holmes brings his trademark stream of introspection and acerbic wit to the ancient cultures of Yemen in the Middle East. Holmes gets a lot of mileage from the country's many curiosities: soldiers on patrol holding hands; the high volume manner of daily conversation and the ubiquitous Khat, a chewing plant known for its amphetamine-like effects. This excerpt sees him changing into an outfit that has more in common with the locals, and suddenly feeling much more welcome than before.
Actor Danielle Cormack travels through Jordan and Syria, and discovers a different reality from western perceptions of the Middle East. Cormack engages with countries awash with ancient history, warm people and picturesque vistas. Highlights of Cormack's trip include visiting the natural wonders of the Dead Sea and the desert valley of Wadi Rum. She stays in a Bedouin tent, and witnesses the man-made spectacles of Petra — the ancient rose city carved out of stone — Roman amphitheatres, and the Crusader castle of Crac des Chevaliers.
This edition of Great War Stories follows the experiences of Kiwi horses in World War I by recounting the story of Bess, the thoroughbred stead of Colonel CG Powles of the Wellington Mounted Rifles Regiment. The two would serve in the Middle East, and on the Western Front. Over 10,000 horses were sent to war; Bess was one of only four to return home. The clip finishes with an Anzac Day remembrance at Bess's Rangitikei grave. The first series of seven short documentaries screened during TV3's primetime news in 2014; another series followed in 2015.
"You waste my time because you have not prepared for this interview. This interview frankly is a disgrace." This is an excerpt from Kim Hill's infamous 2003 interview with John Pilger, award-winning journalist, author and documentary-maker. Via satellite link from Sydney, Pilger discusses Middle East politics. He says what he would do about Saddam Hussein, and what he thinks about sanctions against Iraq. An angry Pilger says Hill is not asking informed questions. Hill pushes Pilger's book across the desk. Pilger implores Hill to: "Just read. Read. It takes time."
Captain Thomas Blake was one of about 40 veterinarians to serve New Zealand in the First World War. He accompanied some of the 10,000 Kiwi farm horses sent to the frontlines in the Middle East and, later France. They faced terrible conditions: sand and heat in Sinai, mud and rain in France, and suffered disease and horrific wounds. This Great War Stories episode explores the tight bond between horse and soldier. In the end, only four horses came home. Blake also made history: while in Egypt, he became the first Kiwi to marry while the troops were on active service.
Mintaha Beca hasn't seen Lebanon in 25 years. At the age of 86, she sets off from her adopted home of New Zealand to visit her birthplace, following two decades of war. After flying into Beirut with her daughter and grandson, filmmaker Steve La Hood, she is able to laugh about demands to pay a film equipment tax at Beirut's airport. Having witnessed destruction and construction in the former 'Paris of the Middle East', the group set off for the nearby city of Zahlé, where Beca was born. There she is reminded that some things stay the same, and others are no longer hers to own.
The late 60s saw globetrotting filmmaker Tony Williams shoot and edit two films for Iranian director Mahmoud Khosrowshahi. Here Williams chronicles an east meets west festival held in the Iranian city of Shiraz. Williams' love affair with music and montage helps lend pace and life to a film whose sonic interests range from Iranian lutes and Indian oboes to American Cathy Berberian, who is busy turning comic strips into song. A glimpse of cosmopolitan Iran prior to the Iranian Revolution, it includes a rare interview with New Yorker classical music critic Andrew Porter.
In this full-length episode of Intrepid Journeys, Dave Dobbyn arrives in the Kingdom of Morocco, and finds himself bowled over by the sites, sounds, the sense of living history, the friendly people — and the sugar-heavy local tea. Uplifted to heights both spiritual and comedic, he wanders the world's largest medieval city, in Fez; visits Hassan ll Mosque in Casablanca, one of the world's largest, and finds himself donning a British accent as he starts a camel trek in the Sahara. From Casablanca to Marrakesh, the journey offers Dobbyn a sense of delight and creative renewal.

Hi, we're WYSKR (pronounced "whisker"). We'd like to introduce ourselves.
We're a start-up building an engagement platform for today's attention economy.
What's the Problem?
Start-ups are launched to solve problems. What problem is WYSKR solving?
The problem is that great content needs better context to compete in today's attention economy.
The WYSKR Strategy
Context sounds like is a big problem. What's WYSKR's strategy for solving it?
WYSKR's strategy involves a "Moment-first" focus, a "Virtuous Triangle" format, and a Co-creative approach.
Hi, We're WYSKR
Hi, we're WYSKR (pronounced "whisker"). We'd like to introduce ourselves.
We're a start-up building an engagement platform for today's hypercompetitive attention economy.
Although we're new and can't get into a lot of detail just yet, we'd like to give you an early look at the platform (above) and start sharing some of our thinking via this site. We'd love it if you read our blog, subscribe to our email updates and follow us on twitter at @WYSKR.
To kick off, here are a few things we'd like you to know about WYSKR as a company:
- We're passionate about capturing more value from the attention economy.
- WYSKR's mantra is "be curious."
- We believe people are most engaged - and at their best - when they're being curious.
- WYSKR's strategic first principle is: engagement = "being in the moment."
- WYSKR's mission is to maximize the value of these moments.
What is WYSKR?
We call WYSKR an "engagement platform," but another way to describe WYSKR is: "an interactive, mobile-first, data-driven, social media-focused, multimedia-infused, community-powered web app."
As a start-up, though, more important than the question of "what is WYSKR?" are the questions of:
- "What problem is WYSKR solving?" and
- "Why do we care?"
What's the Problem?
Start-ups are launched to solve problems. What problem is WYSKR solving?
The problem is that great content and experiences need better context to get the attention they deserve.
On the one hand, "producers" - like media companies, learning organizations, agencies, brand publishers, native advertisers, content marketers, thought leaders and event organizers - are not adequately reaping the rewards of their best efforts.
On the other hand, "consumers" - you and me - are not adequately benefitting from these best efforts.
To capture more value from the attention economy, we see an opportunity for a new kind of engagement platform that employs a unique focus, format and approach.
Why Do We Care?
We care about capturing more value from the attention economy for three reasons. We think these reasons are important and that you'll care about them too.
First, with the proliferation of mobile devices, what's happening in the attention economy is having growing influence over the wider global economy. We want to help shape that influence for the better.
Second, we believe curiosity is the foundation of human fulfillment and success. We want to help foster it.
Third, we see talented people and organizations working hard to cultivate interesting ideas and turn them into quality content and experiences. We want to help reward these efforts. We believe that if quality is rewarded you get more of it.
The WYSKR Strategy
Improving context is a big problem. What is WYSKR's strategy for solving it?
WYSKR's strategy involves a "Moment-first" focus, a "Virtuous Triangle" format, and a Co-creative approach.
Moment-first Focus
Mobile devices are now by far the most important field of competition in the attention economy, and success is measured in moments.
We think competition on mobile is evolving into hypercompetition, requiring a laser-like or what we call "moment-first" focus on adding value.

Virtuous Triangle Format
We believe people are most engaged and at their best when they're being curious. We've found that three things in combination have the most impact on driving curiosity: ideas, people and events.
We view ideas, people and events as forming a "virtuous triangle" where each amplifies the impact of the other.
More to come in the WYSKR blog...
Co-creative Approach
Our goal is to create an engagement platform that breaks down stakeholder silos and empowers co-creativity.
We think this approach is the best way to capture value in a hypercompetitive mobile environment.

This article shows us that the guys in Pyongyang do have some issues when the world turns its attention away from them.
So, now we have another sociopathic dictator who wants to feel important. Only, the backstory which the mainstream media seems to be missing is that China holds most of our US government debt. If we don't figure out financially how to put our house in order so they continue lending us money, we might not be able to get money from them to finance US government borrowing.
Where it gets dicey, is if China is going to apply pressure to North Korea for us, they might exact some concessions from us in our financing, interest rates, or something else.
On the other hand, we could tell Japan to go and arm itself (in the nuclear sense) and that might give China enough incentive to change their thinking on North Korea. But, time will tell how this one shakes out.

Kyoto was hot and humid. But I was excited to explore traditional Japanese culture! I decided to start by visiting temples and shrines clustered at the southern end of the Higashiyama hills, which form the eastern border of Kyoto.
I started with the Kiyomizudera Temple. This is a large complex with huge numbers of visitors. I found it colorful and intellectually interesting, but did not feel emotionally drawn to it.
Next I headed north on two charming small streets that showed what Kyoto must have been like hundreds of years ago, Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka.
Then I stumbled upon Entokuin Temple – I looked through the entrance to the courtyard and saw an enticing garden beyond. Although I could not find it in my guidebook, I was intrigued and decided to explore. This temple had two gardens, and I LOVED both of them. I had such a powerful reaction – a deep feeling of peace and beauty. This made me realize that gardens were what I responded to, more so than temples and shrines.
Across from Entokuin was Kodaiji Temple, which also had a lovely garden.
After visiting all these sites, I was tired, and made my way back to the hotel.
Later in the day, I visited the Kyoto Handicraft Center. I enjoyed looking at many crafts, and found some presents for relatives. Also dropped by a used English-language bookstore, where I picked up a couple of Agatha Christie novels to keep me going.

Comets Ride One-hit Masterpiece by Undseth to Victory
The Hillcrest Comets were defeated by #1-seeded Ortonville 11-1 in a 2:30 game at Morris on Thursday, putting them in the loser's bracket of the Section 6A tournament. They came back in the second game to defeat Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley 12-0 on a one-hitter by Reggie Undseth to advance to the round of 6 next week at Minnewaska Area High School in Glenwood.
The only run Hillcrest was able to manufacture against Ortonville was by Sean McGuire. He singled, advanced to 2nd base on Nick Foss' sacrifice bunt, alertly made it to 3rd when the throw got away from the pitcher on a throwback from the catcher, then scored when the throw trying to get him at third base went to the fence. Nate Treinen's two-run triple and Deric Radermacher's two-run homer were the big hits that broke the game open for the Trojans.
Things went much better for the Comets in the second game as Wolverine starter Austin Kipp struggled with his control. Two walks, two hit batters, and two hits gave Hillcrest a 5-0 lead in the first inning. Jake Steinle, Sam Ihrke, and Brent Ferenczy each had RBIs in the inning. They added three more in the 4th when McGuire and Foss reached on a hit and a walk, then both scored on Undseth's double. Collin Erickson followed with a double of his own to score Undseth.
In the 6th inning the Comets stretched the lead to 12 as Ferenczy and Undseth picked up RBIs and two runs scored on errors. Lukas Adelman broke up the no-hitter with one out in the 6th but Undseth retired the last two batters to preserve the shutout. Undseth struck out 5 while walking just one batter.
After going 2 for 2 with a walk in the first game, McGuire went 3 for 4 (including a triple) in the second game, as did Ferenczy, who drove in two runs with a double and a single.
Coach Steve Undseth said, "We bounced back nicely after a disappointing first game. It was a beautiful day to play two, and we reminded ourselves that having that opportunity was a great blessing. I am grateful for the chance to spend a few more days with these guys, at least the ones that are still around. We have had to bring 4 guys up from the JV to replace those who left for other commitments after graduation, and each of them contributed today. Reggie stepped up and threw brilliantly, enabling us to take advantage of our pitching depth. He was in control the whole game, throwing just 76 pitches."
The Comets will play Parkers Prairie at 2:30 in Glenwood on Tuesday, June 6 in an elimination game for Section 6A.

Accessible Instructional Materials (AIM)
Accessible instructional materials (AIM) are printed textbooks and educational materials that are converted to alternate formats, such as Braille, large print, electronic text, and audio recordings, which are requested by a local school division for use by students with disabilities in the classroom. Under IDEA, all states are required to adopt and use the National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (NIMAS) when producing accessible instructional materials for students who are blind or who have other print disabilities. NIMAS is a technical standard used by publishers to produce source files that may be used to develop multiple specialized formats for instructional use.
Clarification of Student Eligibility Requirements for AIM-VA Services (PDF) – information for implementing procedures to obtain alternate formats of instructional materials for students with print disabilities.
While IDEA requires all state educational agencies (SEAs) to adopt NIMAS, SEAs and local education agencies (LEAs) may choose whether to coordinate with the National Instructional Materials Access Center (NIMAC), a national repository.
VDOE, through George Mason University, has created the Accessible Instructional Materials Center of Virginia (AIM-VA) to produce and provide – at no cost to school divisions – accessible instructional and educational materials meeting NIMAS requirements for blind students and those with print disabilities. These materials include core instructional materials, trade books, reading interventions, test preparation materials, etc. in accessible digital formats.
To create a single point of access and to facilitate required federal data collection and reporting, all accessible instructional materials requested from AIM-VA and their partners should be ordered through the online library catalog.
Outside Resources
- NIMAS Development and Technical Assistance Center @ CAST
- Accessible Instructional Materials Center Consortium
- Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic
AIM-VA Partnerships
To implement an integrated statewide system for accessible instructional materials in the form of a lending library, AIM-VA has partnered with accessible media producers (AMP). The partners and the materials they produce are as follows:
- Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic Regional Unit of the Virginias and Carolinas (RFB&D) – digital audio books including more than 10,000 current titles.
- Virginia Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired (DBVI) – Braille materials
- Virginia Correctional Enterprises (VCE)
- Bookshare – Braille, large print or digital formats for text-to-speech audio including more than 36,050 books and 150 periodicals; the digital formats are the NISO/DAISY XML-based format for the next generation of talking books, and the BRF format for Braille devices and printers
- Equipment, software and conversion consultants
- National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standards (NIMAS) – a technical standard used by publishers to produce source files to develop multiple specialized formats for students with print disabilities.
Using extensible markup language (XML), source files are prepared by separating the content from presentation structure of the original content and providing a means of presenting the content in a variety of ways and styles. For example, once a NIMAS file set has been produced for printed materials, the XML and image source files may be used to create Braille, large print, HTML versions, Digital Accessible Information System (DAISY) talking books using human voice or text-to-speech, audio files derived from text-to-speech transformations, and more.
Most elementary and secondary educational publishers do not own all of the electronic rights to their textbooks and related core print materials. A copyright exemption allows them to deliver the electronic content of a textbook and the related core print materials to the National Instructional Materials Access Center (NIMAC), a national repository which began operations on 12/3/06, as long as the publishers possess the print rights.
- National Instructional Materials Access Center (NIMAC) – a central repository for NIMAS files.
Using an automated system, publishers can deposit NIMAS files within the repository where they will be checked for validity and cataloged into a web-based database. Authorized users can search the NIMAC database and directly download files necessary to convert instructional materials for students who have qualifying disabilities.
Virginia participates in the NIMAC and partners with organizations selected by VDOE to assist in converting educational materials into alternate formats. These partners include AIM-VA at George Mason University, Virginia Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired, Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic, Bookshare.com and Virginia Correctional Enterprises.
Summary of IDEA Legislation for Accessible Instructional Materials
The National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (NIMAS) is the standard established by the U.S. Secretary of Education to be used in the preparation of electronic files suitable and used solely for efficient conversion into specialized formats for students who are blind or print disabled. NIMAS, published in 2006, is a file set that includes all information typically prepared for publishing, including metadata, images and text, and is used to produce accessible instructional materials for students who are blind or who have other print disabilities. Under IDEA, all state educational agencies (SEAs) must adopt NIMAS; however, SEAs and local education agencies (LEAs) may choose whether to coordinate with the National Instructional Materials Access Center (NIMAC), a national repository.
IDEA Regulations
- Provide definitions related to purchase of and access to instructional materials. Federal regulations, under the IDEA, require accessible instructional materials for all children whose IEP teams have certified that the child needs print materials in an accessible format in order to deliver a Free and Appropriate Public Education.
- Requires states to adopt NIMAS and establish a definition of "timely manner."
- Establishes states rights and responsibilities to provide instructional materials to blind persons or other persons with print disabilities in a timely manner either in coordination with the National Instructional Materials Accessibility Center (NIMAC) or a source approved by USED
- Establishes requirements for the preparation and delivery of files.
- Requires collaboration with state agencies to providing assistive technology programs.
- Establishes responsibilities of LEAs for purchase of instructional materials.

Do You Have a Portrait as a Couple?
Couples photography is missing from your life.
I have had a few amazing conversations over the last week with people who are looking for portrait sessions to take couples photographs. I really love this because we really only take photographs as a couple a few times in our lives.
We get some snap shots on our phones day to day then a time comes when you get engaged and you really get some portraits. Engagement, wedding, reception, and honeymoon are all recorded and I hope you got them in an album or hanging on your wall. Then when do you do it again? We all have a few selfies or maybe someone else takes a casual picture of you, but you don't really have any portraits done until one day your children are getting pictures taken.
That where you need to take a deep breath and capture the moment. You and your special someone have changed, you have moved into another place in your life that is worth celebrating! No we don't look as young, or as physically fit maybe, but we are who we are. We are the people that our family wants to remember, who we will think back to when we are older in the same way we look back to our 20's. I love to have those portraits to show parents of them as a couple, that little couple who has been a little lost in the rush of life.
Parents will often pass on those portraits in favor of the kids who are "More important" but I GUARANTEE that your children will grow up and actually be genuinely disappointed that you did get a piece of artwork for them to have. Yes the kids are changing fast and we love to look at them even more, but little kids don't know how to express that they LOVE YOU and want to also look at you. God forbid something tragic happens and they have nothing to hold onto. Your selfie will not be the same and it could also be gone if they can't get the images out of it.
I have an engagement photo shoot coming up and I want them to know that it is IMPORTANT to keep having portraits taken through life. Invest in them, print them, and hang them on your walls!!!
Older couples having sessions are AMAZING, they are just as nervous as young people and laugh thinking they are being silly and vain, but in fact they are CELEBRATING this part of their life. You can too, don't turn down those photos. And to quote one 2018 graduate who we tricked her mother into a couple of portraits, "I don't care what you think of how you look mom, I want that picture of us!!!"

Discussion in 'Indivisible' started by Coco, Aug 24, 2016.
The team did say that there would be palettes in the game, so let's have a talk about them.
So far the alternate palettes we know about in the game are enemy alts, and Backer-Exclusive palettes. The Backer exclusive ones will be made by LabZero (not Custom requests), and might look like what we saw in this old screenshot:
There may also very likely be palettes assigned for certain weapons and equipment, but we haven't seen this applied in the game yet.
That's really all I can think of on the subject for now.
Separate names with a comma.
