Shipping & Returns
All product is hand picked, wrapped and shipped by Jack and will contain a Trees4Trees validation card, product card, a BC card and from time to time a little promo piece of fun, just because we care. There is great care in the packing and as one courrier said "your stuff is packed well you should see some others!!"..,so it may not be pretty but I assure you it's very hands on & effective.
Shipping Information
We offer weight based flat rate shipping. So the shipping charge to send a 10Kg order (as an example) will be the same whether you are in Balingup or Toowoomba.
We have done our best to work out rates that are fair and reasonable for all product combinations and have some product combinations where smaller items can be packed inside larger items which helps with the cost of shipping your order (example: putting 2 x Truffle boxes inside a Coopers box).
Shipping costs start at $15.00. Once you have added your shipping address, we calculate the shipping for you prior to payment.
If you see a shipping value of $0.00, this means you will need to get in touch with us prior to payment as we will need to get a custom shipping quote for you. This custom quote shipping cost will be paid via our eftpos terminal over the phone.
If you are keen to place a large order of more than 8 items, it may be more cost effective to get a shipping quote from us prior to your order. Simply get in touch using our contact us form and we will call you back within a few business hours to discuss.
Easy Returns & Exchanges
We offer the ability to return our wonderful goodies for exchange. At this stage, the costs of the two-way freight will need to be arranged by the customer.

Show Season Is Here/
Show season is off to a start with the local youth show, The PA Classic. Libby took her heifer calf out for a spin and had a great time. Bryan and I about fell over when the judge said that one of Libby's best qualities in the show ring was her smile. She is usually concentrating so much on what she is doing that she forgets she's having fun. Her dairy calf was pretty tired at the show and kept laying down which made Libby laugh every time and might have been her favorite part of the day.
Asha showed her Nigerian Dwarf doe, Ice Cream, in the primary class. This class is made of kids in Kindergarten through 2nd grade and due to 4-H rules, they cannot "compete." This means that they go through the motions of showing but everyone gets a participation ribbon instead of placing. This concept is totally lost on Asha who excitedly exclaimed as she exited the ring, "Mama! Even though Ice Cream didn't behave at all, we still got first place! I can't even believe it!"

Homeschool Valentine's Party
Izzie working on a math worksheet that I uploaded to her iPad. Excitement for their Homeschool Valentine's party which is in the afternoon.
Maddie took her iPad to their bedroom to work on her problems. When I went to check on how she was doing, I could barely see her except the glow from the iPad light. The blackout curtain works pretty well, I'd say.
Maddie and Izzie all dressed up for their party!
Presenting the lovely Izzie.
And the dazzling Maddie.
They started out by making mailboxes out of cereal boxes.
Kiki explaining all the games.
They did a few minutes of Minute-To-Win-It games that were fun!
Some of the mailboxes
Waiting for everyone to finish delivering Valentine's.
Maddie and Izzie.

Tar Sands: The Selling of Alberta
Tar Sands: The Selling of Alberta
from 19.99
Tar Sands: The Selling of Alberta captures the intersecting storylines of a remarkable cast of characters eager to cash in on the oil boom in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Washington lobbyists, Newfoundland pipefitters, Chinese investors and Norwegian industrialists descend on tar-soaked 'Fort McMoney', a modern-day Eldorado, where rents are sky rocketing and cocaine abuse is four times the provincial average. Up for grabs – a stake in a $100 billion energy bonanza and Canada's economic sovereignty.

text: Rope Of The Ship December 16, 2015 stephen mcnabb The planter, who is Man sent out into the field to gather food, is seldom cheered by any idea of the true dignity of his ministry. He sees his bushel and his cart, and nothing beyond, and sinks into the farmer, instead of Man on the farm. The tradesman scarcely ever gives an ideal worth to his work, but is ridden by the routine of his craft, and the soul is subject to dollars. The priest becomes a form; the attorney a statute-book; the mechanic a machine; the sailor a rope of the ship. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Including some very cool table decorations, replicating a Beatles photo shoot from 1968 and making the most of the architecture of the fantastic St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in Kings Cross. Big up to Sam & Matt, who's wedding was a joy to shoot.

Ten Reasons to Brush Your Cat
Brush Your Kitty
Why Brush Your Cat?
1. Avoid Mats
Long hair cats' fur will mat into clumps if not brushed. Try to brush your long-haired cat's fur daily, or at least a few times weekly to help prevent tangles. Brush short-haired cats at least weekly. If your cat does have a mat, try using a comb with wide teeth to loosen the mat. If your cat starts squirming a lot, give it a break and try again the next day. The longer the cat has the mat, the closer it usually mats to the skin, which can make the skin tender. If the mat is really bad, you may need to cut it out. Be careful when cutting out matted fur though, because cat's skin is very stretchy and it's easy to nick them by accident. Take your cat to a professional groomer if the mats are really bad.
2. Reduce Furballs
The more fur your kitty ingests, the more furballs he or she is likely to spit up. When a cat grooms herself, loose fur comes off onto their tongue, which they end up swallowing. Cat's tongues are actually have small backward facing barbs which help them to clean themselves and help to scoop up water when drinking. What the means though, is their tongue is very effective in removing loose fur. More fur removed when cleaning = more fur ingested.
Brushing helps remove excess fur, which results in less fur in your kitties stomach when bathing (licking). In turn, less fur ingested results in fewer furballs.
3. Less Vacuuming
Regular brushing helps to prevent excess shedding, which means less fur on your carpet. That translates into less vacuuming needed. And let's face it...we can all use a break from housework.
The time in which it takes for cat fur to show up on your carpet can be an indicator of how much brushing your cat needs. Does it take a week of no vacuuming before you start visibly seeing cat hair on your carpet? If so, maybe weekly brushing is enough for your cat. If, however, you are seeing lots of fur on the carpet after a day or two, you likely have a cat, especially true for long-hair cats, that would benefit from more frequent brushing.
4. Less Fur on Clothes
Regular brushing helps to prevent excess shedding, which means less fur on your clothes. You may even save a little, buying fewer lint rollers. LOL!
5. Cooler Kitty in Summer Time
In the Spring and Summer, along with the warm weather, cats usually shed their undercoats (if they are long fur) and their fur thins out. Help them shed this extra fur by brushing them regularly. For cats with really thick undercoats, a wide-tooth comb works well to start out. Once much of the excess undercoat is removed, a brush helps to remove the additional excess fur.
Cat Brush - Good for brushing medium and long haired cats
6. Feels Good to Kitty
OK, some kitties don't like brushing. But the ones that do, really love it. And many kitties that originally don't like brushing, get used to it after a while. I've had some that started LOVING it once they got used to it. And since it's good for them, it's good for you to try to get them used to it.My cats all love brushing so much now, that when I start brushing one, the other ones come over begging for a "massage" too!
7. Kitty Looks Better
A well-groomed coat always looks better. Brush your cat to help him look more handsome, or her more beautiful.
8. Good for Kitty's Coat
When you brush your cat, it helps to spread his or her natural oils, which helps your kitty's shiny coat.
9. Removes Dirt
When you brush your cat, it helps to remove dirt, grease and dead skin flakes from their fur.
10. Helps Kitty's Blood Circulation
The tips of the bristles 'massage' your kitty's skin with the brushing action, which helps stimulate blood circulation. Increased blood circulation can in turn, enhance the cat's fur so contributes to #8 above.
Brush Types
Brush Type
Pin Brush
The "Pin Brush" is the type with little balls on the end of each bristle. It's great for massaging your cat's skin as you brush, and can help keep tangles out. Not as good at pulling excess fur out of long-hair fur.
Slicker Brush
The "Slicker Brush" has no balls on the end of the bristles, so is great for scratching any itchy cat skin as you brush them. Some cats love this (mine do) while for others, it may be too much.
The "Furminator" is great for thick fur, and especially for fur with an undercoat. It really works and helps to get the excess fur brushed out.
Coarse Cat Comb
The Coarse Cat Comb has fast become my favorite tool for getting mattes out of my kitty's fur. I use it sometimes to just comb one of my cats that has a thick undercoat, and it works well to pull out some of the excess fur. But it also works well to get out the mattes that seem to pop up overnight. :)
Brush That Kitten!!
Cat Grooming
How often do you brush your cat?
© 2011 Amber Killinger
We brush both of our cats daily. Peaches LOVES it and would let me brush her endlessly. Dusty tolerates it just so long and that is IT! as far as he is concerned. Despite the daily brushing and frequent vacuuming, we still wear out cat hair on our clothes proudly. Ha! Voted useful.
My cat can't stand a brush, but she loves a fine tooth comb.
Very nice Top Ten reasons to brush your cat.
Both of our current cats--a girl part-bobcat tabby and a boy part-margay tabby--love the brushing. Kitten Precious (the girl, duh!) is so enamoured of the whole process that we can't even pick up a fly swatter without her coming on the run to get swatted--uh, I mean brushed.
She's also the premier hair-producer in this household. During the summer when she's in heavy shedding mode, I've often used the shedding comb at weekly intervals...and combed out a double handful of unneeded, loose fur every time.
I've even tried to use the blood circulation aspect in reverse, brushing my own bald head in hopes of raising a little fur. No luck so far.
Voted Up and More.
P.S. VERY cool photo.

A California university is facing allegations of discrimination, sexual harassment and retaliation. A nurse at the University of California, San Francisco, has filed a lawsuit against the university, the UC Board of Regents and the UC President.
Lawsuit alleges pay discrimination at Vice Media
According to a lawsuit filed against Vice Media on Feb. 13, the company violated equal pay laws in California. The lawsuit, which was filed by an employee who worked in management from 2014 to 2016, also alleges that New York equal pay laws and the Federal Equal Pay Act were violated.
Employers have legal obligation to treat pregnant people fairly
Many people in California go to work to support their families, but a person's pregnancy could result in discrimination at work. Specific laws that protect workers from this form of discrimination include the Americans with Disability Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act and the Family Medical Leave Act. Although these acts do not apply to everyone in all situations, they do form a framework that grants some rights to parents and expecting parents in regards to hiring, firing, demoting or promoting.
EEOC releases 2017 claim data
The 2017 fiscal year for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ended on Sept. 30. According to the EEOC, retaliation charges were the most common filings with 41,097 received during that time period. There were a total of 28,528 charges related to race and another 26,838 were related to disability. Altogether, the EEOC received 84,254 workplace discrimination charges in California and elsewhere for fiscal year 2017, and the agency was able to resolve 99,109 charges in that same time period.

Too often, we think love is supposed to be manic
People celebrate "losing themselves," and "falling" for someone; they get tossed and turned like they have no say in the matter; they let themselves get pulled emotionally willy nilly and chalk it up as "passion."
"Relationships take work," we tell ourselves. But we've misconstrued what that "work" is supposed to mean.
"Boring" is better than "impassioned," and while most great relationships have a blend of both, forced to choose, we should readily take the former.Consistently warm is far more hospitable than hot and cold for long-term emotional wellbeing.
Boring is beautiful
By "boring," I mean stability, consistency, reliability. We can hang our hat on these things; we can only build on a solid, unwavering foundation.


text: Battle Royale is a potent, violent and darkly comic cult film that delivers on being an interesting vision of dystopia and an illustration of teenage angst. It is this latter aspect that is the most engaging facet of the picture as it takes normal moments of adolescent and subverts them on a big bloody canvas. As a result, teenage crushes, first loves and instances of excessive bullying are injected with a frighting and tragic edge, which is gut-wrenching and emotionally gripping.

Book a Screening of RESILIENCE This November
The RESILIENCE Re-Set
What is RESILIENCE?
RESILIENCE is the ability to thrive, adapt and cope despite tough and stressful times. Resilience is a natural counter-weight to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The more resilient a child is, the more likely they are to deal with negative situations in a healthy way that won't have prolonged and unfavorable outcomes. Resilience is not an innate characteristic, but rather is a skill that can be taught, learned and practiced. Everyone has the ability to become resilient when surrounded by the right environments and people.
What is RESILIENCE Re-Set?
RESILIENCE Re-Set is a call to action to renew our focus on developing skills to build RESILIENCE. It is a time for partners to share their work, best practices and innovations in RESILIENCE across various communications platforms to benefit a diversity of communities, organizations and individuals. We aim to move discussions further into a call to action for your community and specifically motivate adults to becoming a caring adult AND #BeTheOne for a child or youth in need.
When is RESILIENCE Re-Set?
RESILIENCE Re-Set kicks off on November 1st and offers each community organization, school or agency the ability to determine the timing that works best for them to promote a RESILIENCE Re-Set. To become a partner please send your interest to firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Leonard Cohen said the song represented absolute surrender in a situation you cannot fix or dominate, that sometimes it means saying, 'I don't fucking know what's going on, but it can still be beautiful.'" (Colin Frangicetto about the song Hallelujah)
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who has seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
(lyrics from Leonard Cohen's song, Hallelujah)
For eight years, I've been writing the deepest thoughts of my heart, trying to find a voice for what was making less and less sense. I'm finding that the deeper I go, the more honest I become, the more clarity I seek; the more words escape me, the harder it is to write. I feel sort of like Cohen when he said about writing the song Hallelujah that during the five years it took to write the song, he found himself on his knees on the floor beating his head against the floor crying, "I can never finish this song!"
I think that "sense-making" is our way of polishing and domesticating what we are given. We have been conditioned to think that things are only useful to us if we can make sense of them. So rather than immersing ourselves into the struggle, into the pain, into the shadows, the darkness, the realities of life; we pull back, we protect ourselves from the discomfort of life's realities, and we pretend to "make sense" of things. We whitewash the broken fences of our lives. And we turn from that which does not give us comfort and security and certainty; our gods of the age.
The book, "The Holy or the Broken" is about the inspiration behind the song Hallelujah. It inspired me to write this also. I'm sensing that this is not an either-or thing. It is a both-and thing.
Holiness is not about polishing, domesticating, whitewashing.
Holiness is not about comfort, security, or certainty.
Holiness is brokenness period.
Heartbreak that leaves the heart broken open and bleeding.
Heartbreak that opens us up to fully experience life.
Heartbreak that opens us up to each other.
Not comfort, but discomfort and the risk of love.
Not security, but the recognition that everything is temporal.
Not certainty, but embracing the confusion and chaos of mystery.
Not being right and making others wrong.
Not understanding, but kneeling.
Not sense-making, but falling prostrate.
Not whitewashing but facing with brutal honesty the realities of my life and all of my assumptions, misunderstandings, prejudices, addictions. Rather than seeing the depth and extent of our own conditioning that has overturned the ancient wisdom of the soul; we escape into our own addictions that create comfort, security, and certainty. Very subtle addictions that loom in our homes everyday; media, politics, religious talk. Technology that allows us to "know" from our easy chairs, without getting our hands dirty in real life with real people.
Instead of theological sense-making, holiness is solidarity with the human condition, with the beauty of the human struggle. Holiness is not running or turning away from the pain and the realities of life. Holiness is immersing ourselves fully, in solidarity, in the margins of society.
Until we take the time and put forth the effort to do the work it takes to become a "friend of 'sinners'"; an ally, a neighbor of the outcasts, the outliers, the invisible, the poor, the "aliens", the "orphans and widows", the atheists, the agnostics, and the pagans; we will never see the Kingdom of God here on earth. We will spend our lives worshipping polished and domesticated words that we call theology; as we immerse ourselves in our illusory, self-created, self defined bubble of comfort, security, and certainty; as we create god in our own image.
Participating in privilege in turn makes us directly complicit in oppression. But this is, of course, conveniently invisible from within our bubble.
I'm tired of conjuring up a life, a religion, a politics based on what I'm told by the powerful and the privileged.
I'd rather sing a broken hallelujah… from a heart broken open to experience all of life; the pain and the suffering, the joy and the dancing, the wonder and the mystery.

The fear of gaining too much muscle mass and creating a "fat arm" effect often prevents women from starting weight training. However, loads of celebrities use weight training to fine tune their figures. Are you ready to give weight training a try with Domyos?
Contrary to many beliefs, weight training does not necessarily make you a "bodybuilder". It's all a matter of dose! If combined with a balanced diet and regular cardio workouts, weight training is a good fat burner. Its benefits?
Weight training is perfect for losing weight
If you have a weight loss goal, remember that the higher your muscle density, the more calories you'll burn! Since it is primarily your muscles that take a lot of energy, it is essential to supplement your cardio sessions with strength training.
Weight training tones your figure
If done over the entire body and with correct postures, weight training can tone your body in a general way, to create a better posture that prevents certain types of pain, particularly in the lower back.
Weight training preserves your bone capital
Muscle contraction with weights has the effect of stimulating bone growth and strengthening your skeleton. Weight training is therefore a good way to prevent osteoporosis by preserving your bone capital.
Toning your body, refining your figure, losing weight, gaining muscle mass... plenty of good reasons to try weight training!
What exercises should you start with in the weight room?
To start out in the weight room, you can choose strength training exercises on a guided machine. Choose machines that only work on one muscle group at a time (quads, hamstrings, triceps, biceps, back, etc. That way, you will target your training and ensure that you work your muscles in the right position and in a totally safe way.
Please note: for all the exercises that you'll do on these machines, don't forget to strengthen your core muscles by tightening your abs and pulling in the stomach, so that you don't arch your back. This way, you avoid putting too much tension on your lumbar spine. Also keep the following in mind: don't neglect a muscle group under the pretext that it's too weak! Just the opposite: the goal is to equalize your figure. So do the same number of repetitions on the right as you do on the left (even if one side is stronger than the other, this is how you get a balanced body). To avoid overtraining a muscle group, give yourself 48 hours of recovery before working on it again.
Circuit training: a good compromise
There is nothing like weight training to have a harmonious, toned body. So long as you work on all your muscles in a balanced way and in the right positions. By choosing circuit training workouts, you do sequences of several strengthening, cardio, and balance exercises, all done at high intensity over short periods of time. This way, you benefit from a complete workout that is fun and varied, allowing you to quickly strengthen your body while improving your endurance.
What muscle groups to work out? How many repetitions/sets?
Here are the primary muscle groups to work on: quads, hamstrings, glutes, abs, low back, biceps/triceps, shoulders, pecs/upper back.
If you want to lose weight and not gain too much volume, choose light weights that allow you to do 3 to 4 sets of 20 to 25 repetitions. Of course, the last two or three repetitions should be difficult to complete.
If, on the other hand, you want to gain volume, choose heavier weights that allow you to complete no more than 3 to 4 sets of 8 to 10 repetitions, according to your level.
Note: for abs and lower back, choose body weight exercises. First of all, there are enough exercises that allow you to work these muscle groups thoroughly without adding weight. Secondly, when you work this part of your body, it often causes lower or upper back pain due to poor posture, so it isn't necessary to add weight to these exercises.
Body weight training: perfect for women?
Many women associate weight training with the idea of going into a gym full of bodybuilders... but there is an alternative: weight training at home, with very little equipment (hand weights, elastic bands) and your body! However, a minimum level of experience will be necessary (be careful of injury if your placement is wrong!). Body weight training, such as the Lafay Method, requires a lot of motivation and rigour, but allows you to work on strengthening your entire body. It involves polyarticular resistance movements that use your body weight. The advantages? Improved flexibility, physical harmony, posture, strength, and endurance. This strength training method is good for women because it allows you to develop a number of muscles.
It is therefore entirely possible to do strength training in a harmonious way as a woman, with no fear of gaining too much volume. With two to three sessions per week, with work on all of the muscles in 3 or 4 sets of 20 to 25 repetitions to lose weight and 8 to 10 repetitions to gain volume (be sure to adhere to your 48 hours of rest) you will achieve your mid- and long-term goals for a perfect figure!

"School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces"
Ok, ok, so maybe it hasn't been blown to pieces but be real…. You sang this because you ALL knew that song!!! If not, we can't be friends. 🙂 But seriously though, school is almost out here where we are in NM (2 more days) and as many moms are, I'm both excited and sad at the same time. I'll get to that later.
In bigger news, my husband graduated earlier this month with his masters degree. Can I get a hallelujah?!?! Any other Class of 2018 graduates reading the blog? If so CONGRATULATIONS to you!!
"No more pencils, No more books, No more
teacher's wife's dirty looks".
We spent Mother's Day weekend in DFW setting up and celebrating the end of a 6 year long journey he has been on. It was quite an awesome and busy weekend. From the moment we arrived it was go go go and while it was a bit stressful, it was also really amazing. I'm so very proud of my husbands accomplishments and am thankful for his drive and the lessons he's teaching our boys. I personally have no desire to go to college so I'm grateful for my husbands example of working hard to get where you want to go. This is such a necessary lesson for today's youth who just want things handed to them.
My husband spent nearly 10 years in the United States Marine Corps starting at the age of 21. Before that he did a short stint at a community college in our hometown but didn't get a degree because he was very adamant about joining the Marines. During the last year or so of our time in the Marine Corps he decided to make some use of his Post 9/11 GI Bill and start going back to school. He graduated from Sam Houston State University in 2016 with his Bachelors degree. Then almost immediately started at Dallas Baptist University for his Masters degree.
It has meant sacrificing time with his family; getting up early or staying up late or both. This whole time he's had a full time career, 1 year of which he was working overnight shifts. I'm sure he's had moments where he just wanted to give up but that's not really in his nature. He's a pretty strong-willed guy and when he puts his mind to something, he's gonna get it done. Nevertheless, here we are, he is graduated and DONE!!! About a week before the graduation ceremony he said, "I don't know what I'm gonna do if I'm not studying".
Not only is this my husbands last year of college (Lord willing he doesn't decide to go for his PhD any time soon, maybe in a few years) but this is also our oldest sons last year in elementary school. I knew this day was coming from the first day of school. I don't know why I keep thinking he'll just stop growing up because it never happens. One day I turn around and he's almost as tall as me. How, as a mom, do you mentally prepare yourself for your child moving into middle school? I mean, weren't they just starting kindergarten?
I worry about things like,
"Is he going to feel pressure from his friends, if so how will he handle it?"
"Has he been given a good example of how people should be treated?"
"Will he tell me the uncomfortable stuff that kids don't usually talk about?"
He's quite an amazing kid, I mean yes I'm a bit biased but he's kind, loving, intelligent and encouraging. (To everyone but his brother, lol) He seems to make friends pretty easily and they all genuinely seem to enjoy his company. What's not to like? My constant prayer, that maybe I don't say quite enough out loud, is that he has learned enough from all of his influencers. Learned how he should treat people, learned how to go to God in prayer when he feels sad or troubled. I pray his relationship with God continues to grow and that his life is a light to others. I pray he continues to be an encouragement to his friends and peers but doesn't get trapped by his desire to be liked. When he knows he's not supposed to do something, he turns from it even if all his friends are doing it.
Our youngest is moving up to 2nd grade this year and somehow I feel just as upset by that as I do about my oldest going into middle school. I spent some time today looking through old pictures trying to find ones suitable for the blog and I just wanted to go back and cuddle them more. They're not quite as cuddly as they used to be. They're all grown-ish and attitudey and before I know it I've gone all day without getting a cuddle. One of them has copped a 'tude with the other and gotten themselves sent to their room. While I spend way too much time trying to explain to the 'tude that he needs to get it together. Then night time stuff needs to happen and then they're in bed.
Where did all the cuddles go?
Little man is a rambunctious little guy. Something on his person always has to be moving or else he can't function. He's the pure definition of boy, sports fanatic who knows players stats almost as good as his daddy. Would play all sports if money was no object, loves watching all sports. He's a noisy ball of dirt that can't sit still to save his life, or mommy's sanity. But, he's my cuddler. And he's going to be a 2nd grader. I am not sure about all of this, so until I am, I'm going to curl up on my bed and color.
The boys are going to camp with our church and I'm super nervous. We live in NM as I've stated before, but the camp is in OK. That's farther than I'm used to them going with anyone let alone people I don't know all that well. So to take my mind off of it, I'm going to spend the first couple of days with a girlfriend in Waco, TX to check out the Silos. Being from TX and having driven through Waco many times, I never would have dreamed it would be a vacation destination. If you're old enough to remember the Branch Davidian stand-off, then you likely wouldn't have wanted to step foot in Waco. And now people flock there by the drove's. I'm so excited to go and check things out and maybe there will be a Chip and Jo sighting.
Ok wait, if you've been living under a rock you might not know who Chip and Jo are, or what the Silos is or any of that. Chip and Joanna Gaines are stars of the hit HGTV show Fixer Upper. They're known for their revitalization of Waco homes, creating amazing tourist destinations, and for cute farmhouse style renovations. If you've been wondering why people are all talking about shiplap, its because of this show. Now, they just aired their final episode ever but its for good reason. They want to make sure that they keep their family time a priority and if thats not a good reason, I don't know what is. If you want to know more about them check out their books. I've not read Capital Gaines but I have read the other one and really enjoyed it.
I am hoping to do a little more traveling, maybe a road trip here or there. But with our BIG SURPRISE trip at the end of the year I'm not totally sure if we'll be able to make it work this time.
I'd love to live vicariously through y'all, so tell me what your plans are. If you're traveling, be safe and have an absolutely amazing time!!!
Also, have you checked out the Mom Interviews? The first one was published last week on what is now affectionately known as Mom Monday!! If you haven't taken a look, go check it out and come back next week for interview # 2.
As always don't forget to follow me on Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram.
Have an amazing day y'all, see ya next time!!

Joseph Hebu
Interviewed March, 1995
I can remember when I was in the war. I was ten and stuck in a war in Beirut. Saw some people die. Saw all kinds of action. Got shot at, bombs blowing up all over the place. My whole family got affected. Everybody had nightmares forever. I don't anymore, I used to walk in my sleep and scream and yell. I don't remember them at all.
It was me, my mother, my father and two brothers. We were nine, ten, and eleven years‑old. My older brother was the one who got the worst of it. I mean, I saw some things, but he saw a guy get fried. He can't watch scary movies. A bomb blew up, we all heard it. He ran around the corner to see what it was. He went inside the house. The guy was sitting in the chair
sizzling. He never forgot it. After that, when we went to the movies he couldn't see any violence.
I guess we all handled it differently, I tend to laugh at everything. It's wierd that I used to get the nightmares, it doesn't really affect me as far as I can tell. It was weird because we were kids playing games. We were restricted, we couldn't go out, and whenever we did we would play war games because there was a war going on. We would go batty sitting in this house, bombs going off, people getting shot, you could bear the yelling. Every now and then you would hear someone get shot and you would hear them all night. You could see them through the window, no one would help them. They would whine and then die the next day. One day I was watching one guy, the tank drove up to get him to save him, and this guy ran out to the street and laid down, he had a bazooka. The tank turned right around and took off because he could have blown it to bits. He left the guy there, you could hear him all night. The next morning you couldn't hear anything, so you knew he was dead. They wouldn't even shoot him, just let him whine all night. I remember that.
I remember while this was going on I stopped breathing one day. I just could not breath. I don't know what it was, I just started choking. My mother gave me some medication but then I needed to get some oxygen, so they took me to the hospital. But an the way to the hospital, we were getting bombed. My father‑ was driving like a maniac through barricades, and we were
actually getting bombed. We got to the hospital and there was no oxygen. I'm choking throughout this whole thing, and when we get there, the medication she gave me kicks in. It relaxed my throat and I was fine. I remember that vividly for some reason. There's other things.
The way the story happened was we were in Beirut and we heard on the radio there was going to be some problems, so we went to the mountains. While we were in the mountains we heard there was going to be a cease fire. So we moved back to Beirut. We got there and it was really deserted. Some people came back but not everybody came back. When we were living at the house, I remember there was a bunch of soldiers using our house for something and I was serving them coffee. ne and my brother were sitting outside and we heard this rocket coming, we heard whistles. The Mercedes was parked in front of us and the rocket hit on the other side of it, like ten feet. It shattered the car, we were on the other side so we were protected. It blew out all the windows and all the tires. I guess we were frozen because the soldiers came and yanked us inside.
We're sitting around and the maid was cooking dinner and I was playing chess with my dad and my mother said come and eat. Our house was on the corner of two streets, one dead end street and another street. There was a wall all the way around the house, like a cement wall. My mother came over to fix the curtains, you could barely see above the wall. She looks across the street, there were five armed men with machine guns going into the house next door. So we dropped everything, got up and left and went out. While we were going out the front door, they came in the back door. They were just breaking into houses and shooting people and taking stuff. That's how we left. If you just walked out of here with what you have, my mother didn't grab anything, except for maybe her purse.
Actually, the maid went back to get her Tubuli, because it takes a long time to make Tubuli. She grabbed it and ran out, and at the end of the dead end street there was a convent. That's where we went. I remember yelling to her to hurry up, she was running down the street. Those armed men came out behind her, she just got in and we shut the door, and we heard the bullets hit the door. She just got in. They wouldn't go after us because they thought the convent was fortified or something.
We ended up staying there for two or three months, maybe six. I can't really remember the time frame. We were stuck in a room with everyone else from the neighborhood who had made it. One big room, mattresses on the floor. We just listened to the war. We would hear the bombs all night, some times they would hit our building. It's like lightning, you hear the noise, then it blows up, then there's light.
From this convent we went to another part of town. To get out of the convent they set up a barricade. I don't know who rescued us but they would shoot and we would run across the street. We all had to individually wait until they would shoot and we would run.
At the second convent they moved us to, they came for my dad the night we left, to kill him. They were searching the place. We left the maid behind, we couldn't take her with us. We didn't have a visa for her. It's bad enough we got one for my dad. We couldn't get one for her. I finally went back to see her, it was great.
Eventually, my mother went to the American Embassy, because she's American. She had to bribe somebody to get my father a pass. My father is Lebanese. They said she could take the kids but he has to stay, so she paid the guy. Then we came to New York.
I remember landing in New York, we just had short sleeves, and it was February. It was freezing, and we had nothing. We just came right from Beirut. Actually, we were the last plane to leave. The airport was really crowded, everyone was trying to get on the plane. We got on the plane and as soon as we were airborne, they attacked the airport. The airport was shut down after that.
We landed in New York. It was so cold. I had never experienced cold like that before. We were in a daze anyway. We had been running away and stuff. My aunt had a friend in New York, somehow we got a hold of her and then she gave us her apartment. Then my grandfather from Lewiston came and picked us up. We ended up living with him for a while, and then we moved to Winslow to live in a convent with the nuns. The reason we moved was because my dad got a job there. He came here, didn't know any English, and worked for Scott Paper as a janitor. He had been a distiller, he made his own wine. Over here, there's nothing in Maine. He was going to start a wine business, but there's so many laws. The government's got their hands right in there. It's ridiculous.
My grandfather was living with his sister, and they were both in their nineties. It was a small house, and there was three boys running around. I think what she did was try to find a place to give them some rest because we were probably driving them nuts. That was interesting, three little boys running around in a convent. We terrorized the place. My mother used to be a nun, she was a missionary, she went over to Egypt and then she was in the hospital in Beirut and she left the nunnery.
We have a lot of land there still, like a couple million dollars worth. Some guy came over and said he sold one piece of land, and he gave us sixty grand. That's how we bought a house.
My father kept working, and a few years later he got hit with a fork lift at work. It cut his pancreas in half. I came home to a note, I go to the hospital and he's sitting there, he's purple. My mother's an amazing woman, she started yelling. He was dying. He had gotten hit with a fork lift. (The guy picked him up and dropped him, didn't even see him. Broke his pancreas in half, he's had problems ever since then, he can't digest. He has been through so much. They operated on him, and he hasn't worked since. He's been out on workman's compensation. He couldn't even get social security because he worked nine and three quarters years, and you need to work ten years. He only had a few months to go.
Anyway, he has had a rough life. I know what it was like to have everything, maid, chauffeur, being pampered all the time and then you lose everything. It's not bad when you're a kid because you don't know any better. But I think of my dad sometimes and the shit he's gone through, it's amazing. I don't know which is better, to have everything and lose it, or, just to never have anything.
I went to school in Paris, it was amazing. My parents are very religious, I grew up very strict. In my first two years of college I never drank. I was a minister up at Orono. Then I went to Paris and threw everything I had learned away.
My father went back last year. He hadn't been back in twenty years. He hadn't seen his brothers for that long. They don't come to see him or anything. When I went for my brother's wedding I saw our maid, that was great. We keep in contact with her, my father sends her money. She is working for another wealthy family, she's well taken care of. She's the one who told us that someone came for my father the night we left. There were seven hundred people at the wedding. The Muslim women were covered from head to toe, and the Christian women barely had anything on.
Being back was kind of sad when I actually drove from Syria to Beirut. I hated Syria. The minute we crossed the border it was this big relief all of a sudden. I don't know how to explain it. It was like "I know this place." When we got closer and closer it was like "Wow," it was weird. It was really sad, all the buildings, everything, was blown to bits. All the buildings. There were people living in the shattered houses, I mean they're gutted and there's people living there. You could see the laundry. They're sitting there, hanging their feet off the eighth story, just watching life go by. They live there. They are refugees. When I got there, the next day I went for a walk. I walked all day. I went to see my old house that I ran away from. It was blown in half, and there's people living there. You almost couldn't recognize it. Everyone was wicked suspicious. I was standing there taking pictures. The people were wondering "who the hell's this guy."
They drew a line in downtown Beirut and they bulldozed the whole downtown. They are going to rebuild it. It's going to be nice again someday. I went to the American University there,
it's gorgeous. It's right on the ocean. It got hit some place but it's pretty intact because it's all inside a wall. It's a great place to go to school.
Seeing my uncles and all that was kind of bizarre. I don't really know them, and they're all so wierd anyway. They've stayed throughout the whole war. They just moved around when it got bad. The thing about the community, everybody is so close, the extended family, with grandparents, and the whole thing. (You are so integrated in your family, everyone knew everybody, and you knew what was going on. Like here, there isn't any family, it's all crap. It's nothing like that, it's totally broken down. Over there, it's so different from here in the sense that here you can live on your own, when you're 18 you can move out of the house, you can't do that there. You always respect your elders and you take care of your elders, here you stick them in a
nursing home. There's no such thing there, they stay home and they die home. I think that is one of the major differences from here. The food is awesome too. I love it. I miss it. I cook sometimes. They used to sit around and sing. The songs I remember are from my Dad. Hy dad sings in eight different languages. He's always singing. We used to go an car trips and the whole way he would sing. He has an ear for languages. I have no value for material things. I could give away my car today and it would not bother me. I think it has to do with losing everything. We had everything, I come from a very wealthy family over there, but we lost everything.
The strangest thing is to grow up in a culture, to leave, and to come back and look at it. You see things so differently. It's like stepping out of yourself and watching yourself. It's like looking in the mirror, you don't really know what you're looking at. I grew up there but I was so young. Now I have completely different values. I'm not into the shit they are into. Everything is image. I'm not into this big image thing. Everyone is a liar there. It's middle East, it's bribery, stuff like that. It's amazing to me. It's so different. When you were in it you were doing it because it's the way you are. Then you step back and look at it. My values are very different. I don't value material things, they mean nothing to me. I don't take things too seriously, I laugh it all off.

My ear prompter cut out and then stopped during the last two presentations. This is where I'm really glad that:
- I don't panic
- I can improv
- I always keep backups of each piece of equipment nearby
I know I harp on this a lot, but this is why you do want an experienced presenter. Newbies won't be able to afford backup equipment--when I started, I only had one prompter, earpiece and remote. I had to learn the hard way that you need at least two of each, just in case. And newbies will freak out if something doesn't work.
And remember batteries. Lots and lots of batteries!
At any rate, I'm energized. Dealing with technical difficulties so smoothly that the client never even knows there was an issue jazzes me. Wheeeee!

Page 3: Government aims and objectives
Economic stability is essential for long-term growth and high levels of employment. The person responsible for running the nation's economy to meet this objective is the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The UK Government Departments responsible for executing taxation and spending policies that come directly under the responsibility of the Chancellor are HM Treasury, Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer sets the aim and objectives of HM Treasury:
Aim - To raise the rate of sustainable growth and achieve rising prosperity through creating economic opportunities for all.

- Maintaining sound public finances in accordance with the Code for Fiscal Stability
- Improving the quality and cost effectiveness of public services
- Increasing the productivity of the economy and expanding economic and employment opportunities for all, through productive investment, competition, innovation, enterprise, better regulation and increased employability
- Promoting a fair and efficient tax and benefit system with incentives to work, save and invest maintaining an effective accounting and budgetary framework and promoting high standards of regularity, propriety and accountability
- Securing an efficient market in financial services and banking with fair and effective supervision
- Arranging for cost effective management of the government's debt and foreign currency reserves and the supply of notes and coins
- Promoting international financial stability and the UK's economic interests and ideas through international co-operation as a way of increasing global prosperity including seeking to protect the most vulnerable groups.
In the complex and interdependent world of Government, where a single decision may have widespread ramifications, HM Treasury's work involves co-operation with a number of organisations and Government Departments that enables it to assist the Government in a variety of ways. These include:
- Government departments such as the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), which carries out the Government's policies on the industrial base of the nation in areas such as overseas trade and competition policy, promotion of new businesses and international competitiveness
- The Bank of England, the UK's central bank works closely with HM Treasury and has responsibility for the issue of English bank-notes, as well as for implementing monetary policy, including interest rates
- Tax collecting bodies such as the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise
- The Royal Mint, which manufactures and distributes all of the coins required to meet public demand
- Debt Management Office, which raises finance by issuing Government bonds in the wholesale market
- National Savings, which raises cost effective finance for the Government from the retail sector
- Office for National Statistics.

To help with her cause, Claire has recruited Owen Grady, a former dinosaur trainer who worked at the park, to prevent the extinction of the dinosaurs once again.

Losing a star performer always hurts. Not only because it is a blow to our own egos, it can also have a substantive impact on the organization. Pragmatically speaking, identifying, hiring, and training a replacement can be cumbersome and expensive.
That's why managers strive to increase employee retention, especially where A-listers are concerned. And yet, these can be the very employees you're most likely to lose. Big talents who have little trouble finding good offers elsewhere, and who may be itching to take on more responsibilities and new challenges.
With that said, there are some ways in which you can show these employees you value them, and to illustrate they have long-term opportunities on your team. Here are a few strategies.
Keeping Your Best Employees in the Fold
Practice active listening. It may sound facile, but it's really true: Listening makes a big difference! Your employees have ideas and opinions, and they want to be heard. As a manager, work on active listening skills, providing genuine engagement when they are expressing their ideas.
Don't be punitive. Even your star employees will fall flat sometimes. In fact, they're more likely to fail because they're the ones who take risks and try new things. Encourage that attitude; don't punish employees who show initiative by demonstrating innovation, but ultimately come up short. This is a great opportunity to guide them in a constructive manner. This also illustrates your commitment to their growth and development.
Be mission-minded. One thing that all employees want is to feel like their work matters. Communicate openly with your top performers to show them what the big picture is, and how their work is critical to the team as a whole. Make sure they know they make a difference, and are part of something bigger than themselves.
Foster education. Look for opportunities to educate and train your team—whether that means sending them to a conference or arranging in-house training opportunities. Let them know that you want to help them grow, flourish, and become the best they can be.
Give responsibility. Finally, remember that top performers like to be challenged and stretched. Do not allow them to be complacent, as they may grow restless and look elsewhere. Provide new opportunities for them to show leadership and take the lead on big projects.
You can't make your top performers stay, but you can provide an inspiring culture that will encourage them, make them feel valued, and part of a shared mission. These steps can point you in the right direction.
If you're having a hard time with retention, there may be some shifts required in your management approach. We'd love to offer some suggestions. Reach out to Loeb Leadership Development Group today and let's talk!

"My Favorite!" That's what you'll hear every time you whip up one of these tried-and-true recipes. From chicken pot pies to Sloppy Joes, these family favorites never get old.
These easy (yes, I said easy) chicken pot pies are the ultimate comfort food. I use a rotisserie chicken and a good quality store-bought puff pastry to save time. I also add a splash of Cognac to the broth, which adds depth of flavor and makes these individual pies next-level delicious. GET THE RECIPE
These smoky, spicy Sloppy Joes ― or "Sloppy Jenns" as we call them at my house ― are great for busy weeknights and football season. Unlike most Sloppy Joes, they're made entirely from scratch (read: no ketchup or mystery seasoning packets) and they're not sweet. Feel free to double or triple the recipe for a crowd or to freeze some for later. GET THE RECIPE
This is my take on Pollo a la Brasa, the delicious spit-roasted chicken made popular by so many Peruvian restaurants. The chicken is marinated in olive oil, lime juice, garlic and spices, and then roasted until tender, juicy and crisp-skinned. The green sauce, which gets it's color from cilantro and jalapeno peppers, is downright addictive — I guarantee you'll want to put it on everything. GET THE RECIPE
My whole family loves these chicken enchiladas. I'll be honest, they take a bit of time to make — but the good news is that you can make the sauce and filling ahead of time, then assemble and bake the enchiladas another time for a quick and easy weeknight meal. GET THE RECIPE
In this classic French beef stew, otherwise known as Beef Bourguignon, beef chuck is seared in olive oil and then slowly braised with garlic and onions in a wine-based broth. After a few hours in the oven, the meat becomes meltingly tender and enveloped in a rich, deeply flavored sauce. It's not just my family who loves it: with over 1,000 five-star reviews, it's my all-time most popular recipe. GET THE RECIPE
Loaded with Italian sausage, this baked ziti is similar to meat lasagna but without the fuss; easy enough for a weeknight but also special enough for a weekend family dinner; and it also makes a great prep-ahead potluck dish. While the baked ziti is in the oven, throw together a big Italian salad, warm some bread, open a bottle of red — and a comforting, make-everyone-happy dinner is served. GET THE RECIPE
These chicken tenders — marinated in seasoned buttermilk and pan-fried to crispy, crunchy perfection — are delicious plain, dipped in honey mustard sauce, or perched on top of a salad. And they're not just for picky kids: everyone loves them. GET THE RECIPE
Since this dish is made almost entirely from pantry and freezer staples, it's perfect for when you have to hit the kitchen running. You begin by making a quick Greek-spiced tomato sauce on the stovetop. Then you nestle the shrimp in the sauce, top it with chunks of feta, and slide it into the oven to bake. Before serving, you flash the pan under the broiler to brown the cheese and sprinkle the whole lovely dish with fresh mint. GET THE RECIPE
No wok needed for this for this easy "takeout" dish of tender steak and crisp broccoli florets in a rich ginger and garlic sauce. Serve it with steamed rice and an quick, family-friendly dinner is done. GET THE RECIPE
Chicken tikka masala is a dish of marinated and broiled chunks of chicken in a creamy, spice-infused tomato sauce. Alongside the requisite basmati rice, buttered peas and naan, it makes a fabulous family feast. This version is terrific for entertaining since it can be made entirely ahead of time — and it's also a great intro to Indian food for kids, as it's not too spicy. GET THE RECIPE
