Dear God,
Well, there's only a few weeks of summer left. I'm ready for school this year. Some of that is just excitement, but some of that, also, is a let's get this first day over with attitude. Why? Well, here are my concerns.
I'm really nervous about friends. You know my situation right now, God, and You know what I fear with my friends this year - especially on the first day. I'm nervous about how we will all react to each other. Nervous about my faith, again, since last year was hard. No one gets it, God. I don't know why, but a lot of times I just feel so alone at school. Thank You for carrying me through, though, and thank You for a loving, supportive family. That's all I need, really, and I pray that when I get frustrated, You remind me of that.
School is hard. This generation is a hard one, invaded by social media and what not. All the sports stuff. The ridiculous relationships with boys. It's hard. It's hard to do the right thing sometimes, but it is so worth it.
This school year, God, I get to go out for sports. I'm excited, but in the back of my mind, I'm worried too. This time it's not just if I'll die running cross country. You know how the world is with sports, God, and I've written blog posts about it too. It's mainly basketball I'm worried about - not being good enough, ranked as lesser, and on and on, so please give me peace. Because I know in the end it will be okay, You will see me through.
A ton of kids are just plain ecstatic for friends and sports and such, but it's different for me, God. Because of my faith, it makes everything harder. I wouldn't trade that for anything, though. You've provided all the time, God, and I wouldn't trade what you've done with this blog and my writing and just the maturity you've given me over the years, for anything. I'm not going to ever compromise that just to make more friends or whatever.
I talk about the world being hard, God, and You're the one who gets me through it time after time. Really, though: I'm excited, God. This fall will be fun. At school, please help me to focus on what I am there for: education. And please remind me to count my blessings at home, too.
This fall, God, I know You're going to help me in my writing too. You've helped me so much with my book, and I'm done editing now which means I just have to do some finalizing touches. Thank You, God.
This summer I have really realized what is important, God. In sixth grade, I wasted so much time and energy focusing on shallow things. I realized I don't need those, and in seventh grade, those shallow things will be brought up again. Please help me to look ahead, like my devotionals say, so I don't get off track. My relationship with You. My family. My education. My writing. That is what needs my attention, not the things of this world. This year, God, please help me to not just focus on that, but show how it benefits me. In other words, please help me to be a light this year.
I'm not perfect, and I don't have half of what I need to figured out, but I know You're going to use me, God. You're going to use me to share Jesus. I mean, this summer I got lots of comments on social media from people who read my blog and like it. More people than I thought - some I wouldn't have expected to even read it.
I never regret letting You be in control of my life, God. I never wish things were easier, because if they were, I wouldn't be who I am today. I learned a lot this summer, God, and I'll learn a lot this school year. Thank You, God, for never giving up on me and for sending Jesus. Thank You for my family, and I could just go on.
I love You, God. I can't wait for all the adventures and crazy stuff You're going to do through me and with me this year.
Your daughter, Ashlee
A Prayer About 7th Grade
Dear God,

According to the the latest cases, the reality of the climate change is groundless. Are there scientific evidence for these kinds of states?
The subject of global warming has become a mass media mainstay for quite a few of recent years. These days, there has been a veritable uproar proclaiming how the existing global warming motion has actually been deceptive at most effective, together with a scam, at most severe. The argument itself is convoluted and sophisticated with the intense. The clinical community even now retains rapid to the idea that green transformations are transpiring, and can carry on and manifest, thanks mankind's misuse on the world. They cite medical statistics to aid their hypotheses, wrong or right.http://www.valwriting.com/custom-writing/ While the competitors of climate change idea are inclined to show itself mainly in blogs and forums, leaflets, and point of view parts, there is always essential the latest files that generally seems to offer the strategy that climatic change proponents have overstated and overreacted.
Numerous legitimate scientific information cannot be brushed aside, and, for this reason, impede the campaigns of people who proclaim the nonexistence climatic change. It can be irrefutably genuine that usual warming over the environment has slowed down and, even, in the last 10 possibly even numerous years. This state has actually been lately scientifically noted by several popular scientists. Even so, similar experts who accept for this "pause" in climate change are similar pros who adamantly proclaim that we have seen essential heating up within the planet within the last century possibly even. Temperatures in 2011 ended up analyzed to get a minumum of one magnitude hotter than others calculated in 1880. Even so the solitary digit increase fails to seem to be planet-shattering, this phenomenon without a doubt stands in opposition on the climate change antagonists. There has been very little, if any, details created to contradict this heating up style in order to dispute the maintain at all. "The discovering that worldwide heat are ascending over the past century-plus is one of the most strong information of climate art and statistics" (Nordhaus 2012).An additional area of contention involving global warming combatants deals with the recognizable difference in the introduction of planting season and the extension of flowering for most type of flowers and plants. In recent times, several professionals, this includes Amy M. Iler, analyzed more than 121 types of plant life situated in a mountain peak valley located within Colorado. These greenery ended up being watched by other analysts considering the fact that 1974. The intention of this researching was to locate fashions in expansion and flowering the right time and duration. Results indicated that "the 1st streaming with the valley now happens 25 occasions earlier than some varieties are stretching their flowering into after within the fall down (Zimmer 2014). The changing of periods is not only attributable to heating up heat, additionally it is in replying to much higher variety of carbon dioxide. Fractional co2 is usually a garden greenhouse petrol that has been the basis on most global warming dialogues. In this instance, the greater variety of co2 made it possible for the greenery to sustain alot more h2o plus escalating heat earlier throughout the year. Once again, these assertions are fairly deceptive in to the everyday guy. While greenhouse emissions have drastically greater within the past few years or so, the standard temp within the planet is not altered. The gloom and disaster assigned to the improved fractional co2 quantities breaks down to feature the info that illustrates the in addition favorable increased amount of agricultural processing.A lot of scientists have proclaimed the long term harmful outcomes of the melting with the arctic ice and polar ice cubes hats. Most of us have looked at the forlorn motion picture within the nighttime announcement on the trapped wild animals given that the ice pauses a part and "melts." This can be, once again, a deceptive product as used by the proponents of climate change to sway the judgments of the general public.
There were even assertions the fact that the dissolved ice-cubes would lead to gigantic surging. It has not transpired, and, the application of the media in this way is, in fact, merely a shock strategy. Possible data is undeniably accommodating of people who as well assume that there is no this kind of item as global warming, or men and women who think it is far less of your problem than is actually reported. It can be a reported reality that the arctic ice is up 50Per cent considering that 2012. That is quite unbelievable if the estimates were nowhere near the fact of the circumstance. Apparently "the exact same folks who figured the drop in an ice pack was remarkable really should at a minimum consent that this maximize is significant as well" (Hawkins 2014).Clearly, the main topic of global warming is, and often will continue being, a very hot icon of controversy. Being the investigators and analysts continue to do their experiments and take their specifications, it is going to, ultimately, be our job, for the reason that consuming consumer, to figure out the thing that makes awareness and what doesn't. Currently, the info refuting the international heating up hypothesis can be bought, however it is reduced and difficult to find. It definitely seems that more revenue and energy is going to be funneled for those who rely on climatic change, and are willing to obtain approaches to offer the comprehended assumptions that include adjustments in weather conditions, drought, and enhanced seas temperature. Never ever care that these types of notions do not have basis the simple truth is. The professionals continues to muscle size deliver content and newscasts proclaiming the conclusion on the planet attributable to climatic change. It can be quite likely that planet earth will alter significantly in the following number of hundreds of years due to our using of non-renewable fuels and our overlook towards the environment.
Even so, according to the facts to choose from which is certainly becoming put forth by people who beat the positive struggle in aiming to teach the general public, we, because human competition, should really presume and take a look at previous to we blindly react to the Poultry Very little prophecies with the climatic change hoard.

4 Simple Salad Dressings
To me, summer is all about grilled meat and cold salads. Not only do I love both meat and salad, but I also LOVE that it's very little work for me during the "witching hour" (moms, you know what I am talking about.) While I can barbeque no problem, my husband has always taken over this job, which makes this mama as relaxed as dinner itself.
These 4 Simple Salad Dressings are perfect for summer; they will give your salad the flavour kick it needs without kicking your butt in the kitchen.
An added bonus to these four dressings is that they are all dairy-free and sugar-free, plus contain no harmful polyunsaturated oils! Whether you use olive oil or avocado oil is based on your own personal taste preferences.
Basic Dressing
*Inspired by the simple (and my favourite) dressing my grandparents would occasionally make
- 1/4 cup of olive oil OR avocado oil
- 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 tbsp of raw honey (or to taste)
Put all ingredients into a mason jar and shake or use a bowl and whisk.
Caesar Dressing
*My mother-in-law's recipe; sorry if she stole it from you! :)
- 1/2 cup of olive oil OR avocado oil
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- 1/4 tsp worcestershire (here's an easy recipe for homemade)
- sprinkle of salt and pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
In a blender (or use a bowl and immersion blender):
- Blend oil and garlic for a few seconds
- Add worcestershire, salt, pepper and egg
- Blend until thick and creamy (if it doesn't get thick, try adding an extra egg yolk)
- Stir in lemon juice
Honey Mustard Dressing
- 2 tbsp of Spicy Whole-Grain Mustard
- 2 tbsp of raw honey
- 4 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
- 6 tbsp of avocado oil
Put all ingredients into a mason jar and shake or use a bowl and whisk. If you want a smoother, creamier dressing, use a blender.
This recipe is also delicious used as a cabbage coleslaw dressing!
Avocado Cilantro Dressing
*Recipe directly from DishinandDishes.com
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup of honey

There you have it! Four simple salad dressings you can add to your summer meal plan!
I have some more dressing recipes coming for your fall and winter salads too, so stay tuned :)

Survey, please
Possible Funding Sources for Projects
Sadly, there is just not enough money available through City of Edinburgh Community Grants Fund to support all the great projects that were put forward to £eith Chooses. There's always next year…..
Meanwhile, here are some other possible avenues to explore, in the hunt for funding:
- Community Growing Fund – Scottish Government funding for local community growing projects
- Scotch Whisky Action Fund: Tackling Alcohol Related Harm
- Edinburgh4Community database of funding organisations, filtered by categories and types of projects funded.
- List of grant-making bodies, through Foundation Scotland
- North Edinburgh 'Meet the Funders' event, 21st March, at WPNC, 19 West Pilton Grove
Feedback Night! Tuesday 12 March, 6:30pm. Come along – Debrief, Discuss, Evaluate, Share ideas…
£eith Chooses is holding an open discussion session to review and evaluate all aspects of the 2019 £eith Chooses process, and to share ideas for future events. Please do come along if you can – 6:30pm, Leith Community Centre cafe, Tuesday 12 March. All Leithers welcome.
2019 Results are out!
All the votes have been counted and we can now reveal that the following projects successfully won a funding award in £eith Chooses 2019, having received the highest number of votes from members of the Leith community, at the Voting Event on 23rd February:
FOOD Projects £12,000
– Hermitage Park Primary School: Feeding Healthy Hermie futures £3,400
– YMCA: Breaking down barriers with food £5,000
– Broughton Primary PC & Partners:Growing food (partial funding) tbc
SUPPORTING VULNERABLE PEOPLE Projects £32,000

These awards add up to a total of £44,624 that will go to the community in Leith in many and varied ways, through the energy, work and commitment of all the great project teams listed above.
Sadly, projects and groups whose names do not appear above did not win funding on this occasion. This is not a reflection on the quality of their projects, which were all excellent, but of the sad fact that there is never enough money to go round…. The £eith Chooses team feels just as distressed about this as the project groups must be.
Any project applicants who wish private feedback on their application, or on the exact number of votes received, and where their vote totals rank alongside those of other projects, are most welcome to email in for this information, or to request a private discussion. Email: email@example.com
There will be an open Discussion session next Tuesday, 12 March at 6:30pm in the Community Centre cafe, to review and evaluate all aspects of the 2019 £eith Chooses process. All welcome, and all views and contributions will be listened to and taken on board for future events. Do come!
Results Night! 6th March 6:30pm
Please come along to the Leith Community Centre 6:30 pm, Wednesday 6th March, to learn the results of last week's voting event, and which projects will receive funding this year.
£eith Chooses 2019 is a Record Breaker!
What a day! And Well done, Leith! A record-breaking 1,267 people (not including volunteers and some project applicants, so probably c100 more) came along on Saturday, showing a commitment in our wonderful community, and supporting all the brilliant community groups putting forward their project ideas for making Leith even better!
The sun shone, and the people came! We served delicious food from local suppliers, and many people stayed around to network and chat, after voting. It's everything you'd hope for and expect in lovely Leith. We know that the project groups are all winners in their own ways, in who they are and what they do. The only sadness is that there is not enough money to fund all of them.
The 'themes' for this year's £eith Chooses were tight, so that the only projects eligible for funding were ones that met the criteria of addressing inequalities and aiming to benefit disadvantaged people. Local community groups rose to the challenge and all put forward imaginative, creative ideas! There was also a requirement to actively include members of ethnic minority communities in project designs, and groups did this too!
This year we introduced the new idea of a 'Boost Vote' for a few projects that go 'over and above' in involving and benefiting minority ethnic communities, as some of these groups have been 'left behind' in previous years, due to 'minority' status and the fact that Participatory Budgeting is essentially a 'first past the post' model. We'll have to wait for the count, to see the results of this innovation…. But it was heartwarming to see how generously the people of Leith accepted/welcomed this experiment, to make sure our community is 'fair' to all.
Projects Revealed!
Wow! There are 30 applicants to £eith Chooses – 8 for the 'Food' theme, and 22 for the 'Supporting Vulnerable People' theme. Lots of really great project ideas! View them all here in the '£eith Chooses Gallery'.
Checking out the projects online gives you a bit of background to each project, and a chance to reflect, before you come to the Community Centre on 23rd February, to vote. Please take a look and think about questions you might like to discuss with project groups, when you come, and which you might vote for.
The Gallery is just for 'viewing'. There is no online voting this year.
When you come to vote on 23rd February, you will get up to 3 votes in each room (Food, and Vulnerable People). 2 votes for your 2 favourite projects, and 1 Boost Vote (optional) for your favourite from certain projects which go 'above and beyond' in involving members of ethnic minority communities. More voting information.
The following 8 (out of 30) project groups qualify for Boost Votes, according to the criteria laid down by the £eith Chooses Steering Group:
- Broughton Primary School Parent Council, Saheliya & partners
- Building Bridges
- Creative Electric
- Dr. Bells Family Centre
- Hermitage Park Primary School Association
- Multi Cultural Family Base
- Sikh Sanjog
Please Come and Vote!
Before the 23rd February –
- If you would like to come and vote, but cannot get to the Community Centre under your own steam, please let us know asap and we'll try and arrange help for you to attend.
- If you are bringing younger children, you may wish to book them in to the free creche (for both applicants and voters). Please get in touch to book them in, in advance (places limited – first come, first served).
Email email@example.com for either / both of the above
On the Day –
We suggest that you come early, if you can – doors open at 12 – don't leave it to the last minute, because –
- it may get busy at Registration, and at the ballot boxes
- you will want plenty time to chat to project groups on their 'stalls'
- there will be lovely free food on offer, but it may start to run out….
- your kids may want to get glitter tattoos or face-painting done
- under 8s may need help with the new 'Kids Vote' (for the 'Best Stall')…
Voting in 2019, and Booster Vote
This short video explains a bit more about how voting will work at this year's £eith Chooses, and about the new 'booster vote'.
In the past, small and new, or not widely known groups have very often missed out, at £eith Decides / £eith Chooses. In particular, sadly, this has affected groups whose projects mainly involve ethnic minorities. The key is in the word 'minority' – such groups just don't manage to get the vote numbers. It's not just a problem in Leith, it's a weakness of Participatory Budgeting in general. This year, any group that has made special efforts to engage with minority ethnic communities (including language minorities) – as applicants, partners, project workers, participants, beneficiaries etc.could qualify for a 'booster vote'.
Contact the £eith Chooses team, to find out if / how your project might qualify.

It is usually attempted to pull out the broken serivce and pull a new copper service by attatching the new service to the old one. Usually works well but sometimes the old service wont pull out and a new trench must be dug. A common reason the old service won't pull out is because it was not installed 'straight', there is a bend or turn in it and this causes it to bind and not pull out.
The old service is pulled out by snaking a steel cable from inside the building to a backhoe, used to make the pull, at the public utility service valve connection outside. You can find the bend in the service by connecting the locator transmitter to the steel pulling cable and any sideways / lateral bend can be found., The bend may be a change the the horizontal and can be found using the depth indicator on the locator receiver. Now just dig out around the 'bend" and when you pull the old cable it will now the constraining earth is removed straighten out and pull out freely.
This will get your job done in the time you have scheduled for it and save your customer al lot of extra labor and landscaping money, making you the hero. Hero gets referrals.

Following my tutorial on how to add a GIF to a Squarespace site, this one shows an easy way to add a PDF. It is really quite simple.
First off, create a text block and some dummy text that will be deleted afterwards into the webpage you want to put the PDF in. Select the text and click on the Link button. Press on "New File" and upload your PDF. You can now delete the dummy text. What you just did was that you uploaded your PDF to the Squarespace server. Even though your text is deleted, the file is still on some hard drive at the Squarespace data center (no worries, though, you can delete it for good later on if you wish to).
Now, add a Code block and, delete the Hello, World! code and make sure the type of code is set to HTML and that the "Display Source" checkbox is not checked. Then, paste in this bit of code:
<object data="/s/YOUR-PDF.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="300" height="500"> alt : YOUR-PDF.pdf </object>
In order to have your PDF displayed, replace YOUR-PDF, with your PDF's filename. If there are spaces in the name, put a dash there. Otherwise, Squarespace will not properly understand the code. You may play with values for width and height until you have something not to big not to large. Finally, you might want to use a Spacer block in order center the PDF in the webpage.
This is the easiest way I found to embed a PDF into a Squarespace web page. It isn't perfect, as it can't be really centered and there can be a grey border around your PDF.
Embedding a PDF can be useful for displaying your resume, instructions about something, an event flyer, etc…!
What "hacks" have you found to make better use of Squarespace? I wish there would be more native support of things such as GIFs and PDFs, it's not like they are not super standard file types!

Woodloch Resort, Hawley, PA
John Torsiello
By John Torsiello
Published on 08/14/2012
So Much to Do and See at Woodloch Resort
Woodloch Resort is nestled in the northeastern tip of Pennsylvania, surrounded by forest and sitting on the shores of Lake Teedyuskung. The Resort multi-dimensional, with so much to do you simply must stay a week or keep coming back for more.
The modern Resort traces its history back over 70 years, when a woman named Mary Mould fell in love with that was then a small getaway during vacations there as a girl. In 1944 she married Harry Kiesendahl and the couple began raising a family. But Mary couldn't get thoughts of Lake Teedyuskung out of her head and fate intervened when her husband Harry saw an advertisement in the New York Times listing for sale a small resort on a private lake in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The small, unidentified lake in the ad turned out to be Lake Teedyuskung Mary remembered from her childhood.
Events steamrolled from there and the purchase of the Resort from the then owners, the Svenningsens, was completed smoothly. The Keisendahl's, their children and Mary's parents moved to take up residence at the Resort in April of 1958, while Harry kept his Long Island business and stayed with his family at Woodloch Pines on the weekends.
The original 12 acres included a main lodge, annex and two cottages, all of which accommodated about 40 guests. By 1961 expansion had doubled the size of the resort and by 1983 the resort had grown into 150 acres with almost a mile of shoreline and 135 rooms. Currently, the Resort consists of over 1,000 acres and can accommodate over 900 guests. Nearby Woodloch Springs houses the Resort's golf course and custom homes.
Woodloch Springs Golf Course is about a two-mile drive from the main property. The layout was designed by Rocky Roqeumore and opened in 1992. The architect did a masterful job working with the natural landscape and created a course that is difficult but playable.
Woodloch Springs GC isn't overly long, 6,579 yards from the back tees, but it fits the true definition of a shot maker's course. The holes meander past and over fern-carpeted forests, lush wetlands and broad upland meadows and there are a number of elevated tees and greens, all of which conspire to make for an aesthetically pleasing round.
The seventh hole is a great par-five that plays less than 500 yards from the tips and has two fairway landing areas. Big hitters who bomb it straight on this downhiller can think about going for the green in two but a stream fronts the putting surface, so you better be accurate and long on the approach.
The 14th is one of the coolest par-fives you will find anywhere. The drive from the back tees requires a 220-yard carry over what is called "Hells Gate Gorge," which was carved from the rugged mountainside by rushing water some 200 feet below the tee box.
The conditions are very good and superintendent Jeff Hugaboom does a commendable job caring for what must be a difficult layout to maintain, what with all its elevation changes and proximity to wetlands and streams.
Woodloch has been called a "cruise ship on land," with the staff organizing everything from a Broadway style theme show to bingo. A nice plus is that you don't have to drive anywhere to enjoy all that the Resort has to offer. There are vans and small buses that constantly circulate through the property and will take you wherever you want to go, pick you up and bring you back to your quarters.
The Resort also offers exclusive access to spa treatments at its sister property, the Lodge at Woodloch, which is beginning to attract a following of its own. Late summer and autumn are magical times to visit.

Softline Shelving
Soft-edged wooden shelving for an elegant library aesthetic
The Softline wooden shelving system is just one of our flexible wooden shelving systems. It relates in style and functionality to the Slimline and Frontline ranges – our two other wooden shelving systems. What sets Softline apart is its elliptical-shaped edging of solid wood and the variance between the front lip of the shelf and front edge of the panels which is 26mm.
Softline shelving is available in two variations – single- and double-sided. Standard configurations are available, but it is also possible to create a non-standard shelving system that meets your specific requirements.
Choose between a wide variety of steel and wooden shelves and add one or more functions to the shelving in the different zones of your library. The shelving bays are joined using either an open steel frame or a wooden back. This solution makes it easy to add or remove individual bays without disassembling the other bays.
The Softline shelving system is, as standard, delivered in light steamed beech veneer or birch veneer, but is also available in other wood finishes and painted options. See technical specifications under Downloads for more details.

1. Sandsurfing in Limnos
You will feel like a Bedouin in Limnos as you cross the 'mini desert' on the northwestern side of the island, an expanse of about 7 hectares of huge golden sand-dunes and little vegetation. The dunes are best visited early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the sand is not too hot to walk on barefoot. Snowboarders frequently come with their boards to slide down the sandy slopes. The best way to reach the site is by car – follow the signs to the dunes from the village of Katalakko (about 4.8 km away). After playing in the sand, take a dip at nearby (2.4 km) Gomati beach to wash off.

7. Hiking around gorgeous Mount Dirfys
From the car window you will see the chestnut trees of Steni Forest giving way to plane trees in the ravine. Higher up on the mountainside they are replaced by firs, backed by the alpine terrain of Mount Dirfys on the one side, and the Gulf of Evia on the other. One stunningly beautiful route starts just 7km from the village of Steni and leads to the saddleback of Dirfys (1000m elevation) from where the dirt road begins (2-3 km) that leads to the Michalis Nikolaou mountain refuge. In this area you can also hike along the many marked forest trails, climb to the peak Delfi (a demanding mountaineering route), rock climb on the Karaoulis rock face, go mountain or dirt bike riding, or just enjoy a picnic by the river.
8. Kayaking on the wild side of Antiparos
You will long remember the day when paddling around the southwestern side of Antiparos you discover a volcanic landscape of white stone, with caves and naturally sculpted archways lapped by the deep blue sea. Do not also be surprised if you happen across seals or sea turtles. On the small island of Despotiko you'll pull your kayak ashore for a picnic and a visit to the temple of Apollo.
www.seakayakparos.com, tel.(+30) 6977-206541, 80 euros per person, duration: 7 hours. You can arrange meet-up points with the organizers on Paros or Antiparos.
9. Hiking on Hydra
Walking on Hydra is par for the course given that cars and motorbikes are strictly forbidden on the island. Now a network of very well-signposted paths has also been created allowing you to easily explore the entire island on foot. Start with Route 1 which begins at the clocktower in the port. It climbs to the monastery of Profitis Ilias with its stunning panoramic views, reaches the peak of Mt Eros and continues southwest and ends on Bisti, one of the attractive beaches on the island's northern coast where pine trees reach down to the sand and crystal clear waters, and the hum of cicadas fills the air.
10. Swimming in the Pools of the gods
From the area known as Priona on Olympus (if you are not an experienced hiker you can get there by car) you will plunge into the cool of the forest, heading down the shady E4 path. After a 2 km hike you will come across a fairytale setting where waterfalls feed plunge pools. The frigid waters spring from river Enipeas – myth has it that this is where the beautiful Leto would bathe – and if you're bold, jump in, otherwise just fill your canteen with cold water. If you continue hiking to Litochoro expect the journey to take about 5 hours.

14. Retracing ancient footsteps along the paths of Delphi
Aside from the magical walks around the archaeological sites and to the ancient stadium, Delphi offers incredible hiking. Whether one follows the ancient path between Delphi and the ancient port of Kirra, or the path that begins at the Angelos and Eva Sikelianos Museum and leads to the Corycian Cave, the landscape is richly diverse and the views wonderful, particularly in the afternoon. Sun rays can frequently be seen sparkling on the surface of the Corinthian Gulf, reminding one why the Temple of Apollo, the god of light, was built here.

16. Picnicking with fireflies
From mid May until the end of June there are nights when the plane tree forest in the foothills of Mt Paiko between the regional units of Pellas and Kilkis twinkles in the dark. This magical sight is thanks to the fireflies that glow in their attempts to attract mates. You can take in this enchanting phenomenon while have an evening picnic at the wooden tables at the site Dio Potamia under the plane and oak trees while nature puts on its light show.
17. Mountain Sports in Tzoumerka
Wild and impressive, the Tzoumerka mountain range is one of the most interesting places in Greece to get out into nature.

By appointment, the center also organizers activities out in nature. Contact Yannis Theocharopoulos, a physical education teacher and mountain guide accredited by the Hellenic Federation of Mountaineering and Climbing to arrange your preferred activity: hiking in the forest, mountain climbing up to one of Tzoumerka's peaks, mountain biking (on dirt roads) or rock climbing. If you like, you can create your own personal package of activities or choose one of the suggested options (eg 1 hour hiking in the forest, lunch pack, climbing on the indoor wall, archery, flying fox, sauna, coffee).
18. Walking the Longest Gorge in Crete
Flanked by the enormous rock walls of the narrow gorge you will feel like an ant as you traverse Samaria, one of the longest gorges in Europe, with a length of 13 km. The narrowest point is at Portes where the walls of the gorge are only 3 meters apart. The route is signposted and takes about 6 hours to complete, allowing for some stops. You will rest and quench your thirst at springs under plane, cypress and pine trees, you may see rare wild goats, and you will wander through the empty village of Samaria that was abandoned in the 1960s. At the end you will be rewarded by a refreshing dip in the Libyan Sea.
Samaria National Park
tel. (+30) 28210-45570
Entry 5 euros per person open daily 06.00-16.00, after 16.00 only for those who want to hike the first 2 km of the gorge.

19. Photographing the Birds of Lesvos
In the spring you will see them flirting, in August feeding their young, and in September setting off on their migrations. Lesvos is inhabited or visited by over 300 species of birds. Beyond the birdwatching in rare ecosystems such as the Kalloni salt pans, Lesvos also offers all of the joys of a Greek island: ouzo by the sea, pristine beaches and charming villages. Book your birdwatching trip via Birding in Greece which offers tailor-made excursions accompanied by an experienced wildlife photographer.
20. Riding the Rack Railway up Mount Helmos
Here it is not the destination that matters as much as the journey. Along an impressive 22.4 km route through the Helmos-Vouraikos National Park, the rack railway line that links Diakofto with Kalavryta passes through forests of plane and fir trees, through tunnels hewn out of the rock and over narrow bridges that are in such harmony with the natural environment that they look like they have been there forever. As the gradient gets steeper the historic train uses its cog wheels to latch on to the toothed rail to climb up. The train ride takes about 1 hour. See more here.
www.trainose.gr, 9.5 euros per person (for a single ticket Diakofto – Kalavryta).

Amid the explosive anecdotal accounts contained in the new book, Fire & Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff, is an exchange between the president and top aides in which Trump reportedly demanded to know: "Why can't Medicare simply cover everybody?"
While fellow journalists have questioned Wolff's integrity as a reporter, and the White House has characterized his book as a work of "fantasy," the publisher has pushed up its release after Trump himself intervened with legal threats to block it from being release.
Despite that, Wolff apparently was given wide-ranging access, says he recorded many of his interviews with top staffers and insiders, and stands by the accounts contained in Fire & Fury. Speaking to NBC News on Friday morning, Wolff said he stands by "absolutely everything" reported in his book.
"My credibility," he said of Trump's attacks against him, "is being questioned by a man who has less credibility than perhaps anyone who has ever walked on Earth."
On the issue of healthcare, according to an excerpt, Wolff writes:
Our Summer Campaign Is Underway
Support Common Dreams Today
Independent News and Views Putting People Over Profit
Trump had little or no interest in the central Republican goal of repealing Obamacare. The details of the contested legislation were, to him, particularly boring; his attention would begin wandering from the first words of a policy discussion. He would have been able to enumerate few of the particulars of Obamacare—other than expressing glee about the silly Obama pledge that everyone could keep his or her doctor—and he certainly could not make any kind of meaningful distinction, positive or negative, between the healthcare system before Obamacare and the one after.
That reporting, of course, largely betrays the fact that Trump repeatedly promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) and supported numerous attempts by Republicans in Congress to do exactly that. By signing the "GOP tax scam" into law just before the Christmas holiday, Trump specifically bragged that a key component and victory of the legislation was its ending of the ACA's individual mandate—a provision that experts say will force an estimated 13 million people to lose their coverage.
However, while Trump is documented as knowing very little about how the ACA actually worked or healthcare policy overall, he has repeatedly let slip—both as a candidate and since taking office—that he perceives the wisdom of a system that covers everyone and even said explicitly at one point that "government's gonna pay for it."
In May of 2017, President Trump praised Australia as having "better healthcare" than Americans have in the United States, though it was unclear if he actually knew the Australians enjoy a single-payer system administered by the government.
And during the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump told 60 Minute's Scott Pelley that though it was a very "un-Republican thing for me to say," he would create a universal system which would "take care of everybody"—even those too poor to afford private insurance. Watch:

Whenever I travel, I always have one eye trained to watch out for a destination's best vintage treasure troves. These are always the places where one can uncover the top vintage fashions and style gems just waiting to be re-loved and meeting the interesting people that run them.
On a recent trip to the stunning Portuguese city of Porto, while stopping for a quick coffee in Praça dos Poveiros, I stumbled upon MĀO ESQUERDA – a wonderfully curated vintage shop run by a lovely Portuguese lady with a great eye for a catch.
The collection included the vintage staples which just keep coming back in fashion, such as shirts with loud geometric prints in neon colours, and black leather jackets with 60's fringing. I bought a beautiful pussy bow collar shirt in a dusky turquoise, ochre and dusty pink floral print from Chez Elle boutique. And I must say I was tempted by many more of the eclectic pieces on sale.
The shop also has a fab collection of statement sunglasses in bright pinks and blues; handbags in white and black leather and hats, hats, hats galore!
Check it out at Rua de Santo André (aosPoveiros), 26, 4000-382 Porto

It should be noted, that in addition to all the advantages, Russian mink has shortcomings, которые, however, have any product of a long fur. In the process of wear fur coats it relatively quickly - that is, in comparison with his other brothers - quickly wears, especially in places such as cuffs, hem and collar. but, if you decide for yourself: "I buy mink coat, inexpensively, but buy!"- The Russian mink suit you, because it has a fairly gentle price segment.

Welcome back to my Meet My Character Monday blog post. Sorry for the absence, but I had a tornado come through a few weeks back that did some damage, then I had to get ready for the release of my next FREE short story, In the Dark, which you will find out a little about in the post.
Now on to my next character: the unnamed vampire.
This fictional character from my new, free short story, In the Dark, set in New England, doesn't have a name. The most important thing to know about this character is that he is a vampire, and not the vegan, sparkly kind. His main goal in the novel is to feed, and to feed on one person in particular, the main character in the novel, Alisa, but unfortunately for him, she won't be easy prey.
Here is how Alisa sees him:
She peeks through the small opening, trying to get a good look at whomever it is doing the tapping. What she sees is a humanoid beast with dark, sunken, yellow eyes, hard, raised cheekbones, a rough brow, and razor sharp teeth. Her breath stops in her lungs. Her heart even stops beating for a second.
The tapping ceases. Alisa watches as the beast's features quickly smooth out, and transform into a very handsome looking man, a man with long, blonde hair, soft, smooth skin and a dimpled chin. No matter how good-looking her eyes find him, her tingling spine feels the predatory vibe his body gives off.
To find out more about this vampire, download your copy of In the Dark, free at Smashwords or Barnes and Noble or read it at Goodreads.

Nicolas is a child with cerebral palsy, a disability that will affect his movement, posture and coordination his entire life. His grandmother wanted to leave him a sizable inheritance. His mother told her not to.
Nearly 58 million people nationwide over the age of five identify themselves as disabled — the largest single minority in the country. Millions of Americans would like to reach out and assist them, particularly at this time of year.
But giving money directly to a special needs child or adult, particularly if they're already receiving government benefits, can be a bad idea. If these individuals have more than $2,000 in their own name, they could lose the government benefits they already receive and endure a big hassle getting them back.
Since most federal and state benefits are "needs based," the government is always looking over the shoulder of special needs persons. If it discovers that they have assets above the allowable limits, their benefits could be cut off. So instead of giving a lump sum of cash to a special needs person, such as a child with autism or a host of other permanent disabilities, the money must be doled out in ways that won't violate legal requirements.
This is crucial because children with disabilities like Down syndrome, which once resulted in premature death, now have a much longer life expectancy. And that's giving parents and caregivers looking after dependent children or adults a new worry: The dependent person will probably outlive them but still need care throughout their life.
Previously it wasn't uncommon for parents to simply disinherit these children, often thinking it was better if they were sent to live in institutions. But a wiser generation, coupled with the closing of most institutions, changed that. Now, many special needs adults live independently or in homes where they only have a minimum of assistance.
But this doesn't mean their government payments are enough to cover everyday needs. "These public benefits provide no more than 'bare bones' necessities," according to MassMutual, a Springfield, Massachusetts-based life insurer that also provides advice and assistance to families with special needs individuals.
So it's necessary to plan ahead. And you'll find several ways to funnel money to special needs people throughout their lives without causing them to lose their federal benefits.
One way is to establish a "special needs trust" with the explicit purpose to "supplement, not supplant" federal and state assistance programs and create a better quality of life for this individual. The trust can provide for special medical equipment, eyeglasses, even a trip to Disney World with a caregiver.
A myriad of rules and regulations are involved in creating and maintaining such a trust. One is that the beneficiary — the special needs child or adult — can't actually own the trust. A trustee or "third-party provider" who dispenses the money must be appointed. "At the heart of these rules lies the fact that the trustee can use the money to improve the quality of life for the dependent, but never distribute the money directly to them," said Kelly Piacenti, MassMutual's head of Special Care.
Another is that all family members should know about the trust. Sometimes this can be difficult because the challenge of having a special needs child can tear families apart, and their divorce rate is very high. That creates a financial challenge in itself. "So grandparents, family members and friends who wish to provide gifts should be told to give them to the special needs trust," said Piacenti.
What about crowdfunding? "Websites such as GoFundMe have increasingly been used to raise money on behalf of individuals with special needs," said Stephen Dale, a disability rights advocate who has his own California law firm. But without planning, such funds can "wreak havoc" with Social Security's Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid, food stamps and Section 8 housing, which provides federal rental assistance to low-income tenants. Crowdfunding — where people don't know who else is giving or how much — can easily put the special needs person over the limit, Dale said.
An important part of any estate plan for the future of a special needs dependent is a "letter of intent" defining what the guardian wants to happen later on. Piacenti describes this as "like a note to a babysitter, except on steroids," laying out everything a special needs person requires, their history and what both you and the person want in the future. It's a comprehensive document that can even include items as small as how to brush their teeth and as major as their future housing.
But a special needs trust isn't the only way to help a special needs dependent. Families can also set up an ABLE (Achieving Better Life Experience) account that will now allow contributions to a maximum of $15,000 annually, provided the person is diagnosed as disabled prior to the age of 26.
Again, there's a maximum — $100,000 — that can be put into this account before the disabled person loses his or her government benefits. An ABLE account can be used for a host of expenses, including education, employment training, health, legal fees and, ultimately, funeral expenses.
It makes sense to hire an experienced attorney who handles special needs individuals and is familiar with trusts to help with planning for the future. But as a starter, parents and guardians can go to Nolo or another online legal website to review what's needed. Insurers like MassMutual also offer help.
These are some of the mistakes parents and caregivers make when planning:
Disinherit your dependent with special needs. Many people with special needs rely on government benefits to help provide food, shelter and medical care. If you've been advised to disinherit your dependent, remember that these public benefits provide no more than bare bones necessities.
Have assets in your dependent's name. To qualify for government benefits, such as SSI or Medicaid, a person cannot have more than $2,000 in assets, in most states. If you leave funds or convertible assets directly to your special needs dependent, they may have to be "spent down" to qualify for these important benefits.
Relying on your other children to take care of their special needs sibling. You may be thrusting a moral obligation on one sibling to become the future caregiver of their special needs sibling. Shouldering this type of burden can cause resentment. If the caregiving sibling gets married, would taking care of their brother or sister interfere in their lives? Will the spouse understand?
Leave money to your other children to support their special needs sibling. The funds could be lost forever if the caregiving sibling dies, gets divorced, sued, goes bankrupt or just mismanages the funds. Also there's no accounting here, and money can be used for other purposes by a spouse or child.
Have a 529 College Savings Plan or savings bond in your dependent's name. If these total more than $2,000, your special needs dependent could be ineligible for government benefits.

It's really sad as more and more it has stopped being about the pure love of the music. Once in the olden days our veteran artiste used to enjoy friendly rivalry on stage but if they had know that these artistes would have take in to another level, one wonders if they would have started it in the first place.
We need back the fun vibes in the dancehall…there's just too much passa passa from all sides of the fence which is only splitting the music. Why should music lovers be forced to chose which side of the fence they want to sit. I'm not saying Gaza and I'm certainly not saying Gully Side, I am saying music – straight!
Both Vybz Kartel and Mavado have done some real good songs…and both have done songs that I wouldn't even let my dog listen.
Let's stop this foolishness and get back to the love of good quality songs.
The latest battle of words between Bounty Killer and Vybz Kartel is certainly not amusing. Bounty on more than one occasion claimed that he was Vybz father…so because that child has chosen his own path doesn't mean you should want to bad mouth him.
And as for Vybz Kartel, he used to acknowledge Bounty as his father…where is the respect…one slip up and all the love and respect is gone?
Artistes are supposed to be one community of family…but they are more at each other's throats than anything else. We have enough feuds going on in the country…do the responsible thing and make the change.
You could learn a thing or two from the athletes competing on the world stage…they go fiercely at it on the track but off the field they think nothing of partying together.
Grow up…you are all acting like spoilt children…if you love the music so much, start protecting it and leave out the fighting and cut throat behavior.

Syrian and American officials traded blame Sunday for the failure of last week's round of Geneva II peace talks, which sought an end to a three-year conflict that has claimed more than 140,000 lives, according to the latest estimates by pro-opposition activists.The peace talks broke off Saturday with no tangible result and no date was set for a third round, but Kerry said Washington remained committed to the Geneva process and all diplomatic efforts to find a political solution.The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human rights, which gave the new casualty estimate Saturday, said nearly 5,800 people had been killed since the Geneva talks began on Jan. 22 .For his part, Syria's foreign minister accused the U.S. of trying to create a "negative climate" for dialogue at the second round of peace talks.More than 1,000 people were also evacuated from the city, which has been under government blockade for more than a year.

About the poet
Winner of an Eric Gregory Award from the Society of Authors in 2001, Sally Read is one of a new...
Mafia Flowers
Mafia Flowers
4am, you're called to the blindness of a country night
where you only tell the mute space of your eyes,
awkward tread, formless breath.
The farmhouse is lit: a cage of day. Every lamp
and overhead jammed on, the unshakeable light
of a hundred suns. The white haired man's
vertical in the middle of the room, eyes popped
of meaning like a baked fish. Red hands covering
his mouth in the first fresh jump of shock,
though the florist's van came in daylight, innocent,
at the regular hour of eight. 'Why'd you wait so long
to call?' 'There were more than I'd reckoned.'
The room's bright as a butcher's shop with blooms.
Not blooms, not flowers. Wrought, dyed, compressed
funeral wreaths. Dense, satin-sashed circles,
and one spelling his name in rusty chrysanths.
It's propped on his straight chair, another's laid
on the bed, another on the sports section
at the folding table, more overwhelm the floor.
Tight daisies in fanciful blue, salmony pink,
hawkish yellow, heaving the scent and stickiness
of God's nature, amassed beyond wonder.
The colours of Gabriel's miraculous, oily wings
(as fleshed out by men). You take your cap off,
bedazzled at the light, at this man's funeral
and the man not dead. You walk the creaking wreaths,
pretending notes, pour Grappa to restore his voice,
bag them like bodies, flick switches one by one
to a dim bedside lamp, so as you step out into the cold
the moon reasserts itself calmly on stones,
the natural order of things. But as you drive,
you can't shake the image of the man slunk in his chair
- crazy - refusing to wake his brothers or tell a soul
of this visitation. The daylight and angels and wreaths
are his - whatever crime he may or may not have done -
as if he conjured each flower himself; he stinks of them.
The same as if 14-year-old Mary had gone running
to Elizabeth, broad-sided by her elaborate tale, saying
it was nothing of her idea and she'd as soon forget it.
Too late. Already the gold congeals above her head,
and Elizabeth's eyeing her warily, her flesh
and blood womb leaping in fear.
On the main road the dawn develops, grey
as sanity, the town is a host of cool witnesses
waking, and as you turn into your lane
there's an almighty rightness you're still
clinging to a month on
when news of his death is delivered.

Dr Eunice Lumsden, head of early years education at the University of Northampton, was commenting on figures published for the first time that show that there has been a 'huge' rise in the number of newborns who are subject to care proceedings.
The data from the University of Lancaster and funded by the Nuffield Foundation shows that 2,018 babies were taken into care in 2013, compared with 802 in 2008.
A total of 13,248 newborn babies were taken into care between 2007 and 2014.
Separately, the Prime Minister will say today that failing children's services face takeover by charities and other organisations, if they do not improve after six months of being judged inadequate by Ofsted.
The best councils, child protection experts and others would form independent trusts to take over the worst children's services departments.
A small number of children's services, such as Doncaster and Slough, have already been taken over by trusts.
Dr Lumsden said, 'You have to look beyond the figures of 2,000 children coming into the care system. What happens to those children? The need to be able to form close attachments.'
EYTs are best placed to provide the link between health and social care to safeguard children in their earliest years, she said.
They could play a crucial role as they are 'the only profession that has to meet a standard of safeguarding children from birth to five. Social workers have to meet a standard across the age range.'
But she said that EYTs are not 'getting paid enough, or respected' for the work they do.
Dr Lumsden also believes that the Government should appoint a 'czar' to oversee the Government's policy in the same way that there has been for adoption and social care.
She said that it was time to seize the moment and that the current debate 'reinforces the need for a holistic approach. The data is so great that you need somebody to be the champion for policy makers for early childhood,' she told Nursery World. 'We need to support Government to connect the dots nationally and locally.'
She also called for the appointment of a minister to have 'total responsibility for families', working across Government.
'The role would have to embrace public health, early learning and social care.'
She added, ' How could we do this differently? We have enough evidence that shows that early intervention works, but the situation is getting worse. These agendas need to be joined up. While they are held by different departments we are not having the high level of debate that really makes a difference.'
Dr Lumsden is the early years academic co-ordinator for the 1001 Critical Days Campaign, which is being re-launched today (14 December).
The Conservative MP Tim Loughton will be leading a parliamentary debate on Thursday on the 1001 Critical Days report.

A culinary online center dedicated to promoting the importance and the joy of American home cooking with an emphasis on local products and talent, celebrating the unique spirit and energy of the new food world ethos, especially in Vermont.
I love quotes that add meaning to my life. Here are a few to live by:
Avoid food products containing ingredients that a third-grader cannot pronounce.
—Michael Pollan
Feeding nine billion people in a truly sustainable way will be one of the greatest challenges our civilization has had to confront. It will require the imagination, determination and hard work of countless people from all over the world. There is no time to lose.
—Jonathan A. Foley, director of the Institute on the Environment, U of MN
The surest way to capture the flavors, colors, and textures of a culture is by using authentic products.
—Lidia Bastianich, from Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen
The most important habit you can develop is to taste as you are preparing something. Take a sample and taste it critically at different stages of the cooking, then correct the seasonings…
—Marion Cunningham, from Learning to Cook
Plant a vegetable garden if you have the space, a window box if you don't.
—Michael Pollan
Private Cooking Classes with Bronwyn!
I love teaching private cooking classes because it allows me to have a hands-on experience with my students. I've enjoyed giving demonstration cooking classes in the wonderful Learning Center kitchen at Healthy Living Market & Café in South Burlington, Vermont, but there's something special about teaching in my own kitchen, or in the kitchen of my student. The more intimate atmosphere provides a relaxed and creative experience. Plus, there's nothing like working elbow to elbow to have a complete understanding of what I'm doing as a teacher. It's also a fine way for me to learn from my students. The questions and sharing of ideas is part of the fun!
Mastering the Art
Cooking is an art. I learned that many years ago, as I watched great cookbook authors and five-star chefs prepare remarkable meals. It is not in the adherence to technique so much, though technique is always important. It is in the willingness to break the rules or, better yet, to make the rules your own. If you want a great demonstration of this, watch Jacques Pepin and Julia Child go at it in their famous television series, Julia & Jacques Cooking at Home, as they banter on about the pros and cons of how to prepare perfect meals at home. For tips on preparing your holiday turkey, see them in action on YouTube. The series is packed with humor and eye-opening lessons in what makes great food truly great!
Cooking Inspiration
Growing up, I was lucky to have been one-degree of separation from one of the best of the best, Julia Child. When she lived in Paris, in spite of a language barrier and a limited experience with cooking, she was determined not to let her teachers down at the famous cooking school, The Cordon Bleu. Her commitment paid off in a book that changed minds and hearts of food lovers everywhere. I learned how to cook by practicing the techniques she laid out in that iconic cookbook, Mastering The Art of French Cooking, and from my stepmother, Judith Jones (Julia's lifetime editor) and father, Evan Jones, whose love of good food was inspirational. I look forward to passing on some of this joy of creative cooking to you.
Fun In The Kitchen
In October, I was delighted to have Debra Heintz, one of Ben & Jerry's dynamic executives, and her daughter, Elysse, as private cooking class students. Debra is a very busy woman, traveling all over the world deciding on the location of the next Ben & Jerry's retail shop. Her daughter works for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters here in Burlington. They were both looking for simple but interesting recipes that could be done easily after a busy day on the job. I'm honored that they enjoyed their classes enough to want to come back in January for a session of mastering the art of Boeuf Bourguignon!
Simple Asian Meals
My suggestion to Debra and Elysse was to pick out a cookbook they wanted to explore. They chose recipes from my friend Nina Simonds' excellent cookbook called Simple Asian Meals. Nina has managed to make cooking some of the most delicious and sought after Asian recipes an easy task. Her experiences traveling through Southeast Asia and Japan have given her a remarkable repertoire of great recipes for busy American cooks. Once you've mastered two or three of these wonderful dishes, it's possible to become a fine home cook, Asian-style.
Multiple Cuisines to Explore
With a long list of cuisines to explore—from Asian, Middle-Eastern, Italian, American and, of course, French—my students experience a wide range of recipes that excite every cooking interest. And, all my classes emphasize healthy and local products, as well as sumptuous and memorable results.
Private Cooking Classes
Private Cooking Classes are priced on a sliding scale according to the ingredients used. Costs range from $85 -$150 per person (minimum of 2 students and maximum of 4). An individual cooking class (single student) is from $105 -$150. Classes are two-hours long and can be at the client's home or in my kitchen.
Demonstration Dinner Parties
Demonstration dinner parties are planned cooking adventures for six to ten people. I will select a menu with you that includes one or two dishes to be demonstrated the evening of the dinner party, and cater the entire meal to be served either at your house or mine. Cost per person is $120 (minimum of 6 people, maximum 10 people).
Cooking Classes Make Great Gifts!
Consider a gift certificate for your friends and loved ones who enjoy food and cooking.
To Arrange a Class or Purchase a Gift Certificate
Please call me at 802- 860-5022 or 802-355-7584, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange for classes, dinner parties and gift certificates and to find out more.

This meal used very few pre-made or processed foods so there is less waste generated and no trees were harmed in the making of this meal.
Chicken with Zuchinni, Onions, Garlic, Pasta, Olive Oil, Butter, Parmasan Cheese with parsley and chives added at the end.
Today we had chicken cut up and pan sauteed in first cold pressed Greek olive oil and real butter. Finish that up and take out of the pan and saute in the same pan: one medium cut up fresh zuchinni with one Vidalia onion and then add two cloves of minced garlic after the onion and zuchinni have cooked for a few minutes because the garlic will cook too fast if added with them. I used pre-minced from the jar. Add extra oil if needed and this is when I add more butter. Add chicken to this with a little pasta water and the pasta. This is a good place to add some milk or cream but not mandatory for this meal. Cook and stir until it thickens and then add the parmasan cheese as wanted to taste.
In boiling water I added a small palm full of salt and then one half box of rotini. Cook until al-dente and add to the chicken mixture. Mix well.
Enjoy! We did!

This simple system uses 100 EMA and 28 Smoothed Moving Average both on close price. The time frame is 1 hour and 4 hours. It can be used on any currency pair, but EUR/USD would be better.
The 100 EMA is used for detecting trend. If we are in a downward trend as shown in 100 EMA, we enter a buy when a candle closes above the 100 EMA. Stay in the buy until a candle closes below the 28 Smoothed MA. If we are in an upward trend as shown in 100 EMA, we enter a sell when a candle closes below the 100 EMA. The exit is when a candle closes above the 28 Smoothed MA.
For 1 hour charts, stop loss can be made for 50-60 pips while profit target can be 80-120 pips. For 4 hours chart, stop loss can be 100 pips while profit target can be 100-400 pips.
There are many factors that affect exchange rates of currencies. However some are more important in currency trading than others.

90s Music: Foo Fighters
"This Is A Call" - The first single and first track from the first CD that Dave Grohl ever released under the name Foo Fighters. I was instantly a fan, although the vocals could go a little higher in the mix for my taste. Other than that- it's a rocking song that was a great way to lead off Grohl's career as "not just Nirvana's drummer."
"I'll Stick Around" - Now, if you thought "This Is A Call" rocked... then this one was an absolute treat as it rocks even harder! Dave Grohl yelling "I don't owe you anything!" is sweet. Many believe that line is aimed at Courtney Love, and I like to believe that is the case.
"For All The Cows" - What's that? You wanted the video with them doing a fake Mentos commercial? Go look it up on YouTube then! This is an underrated jam from the first record. I'm pretty certain we used this song in a video my friends and I made for our Freshman Biology in high school. I don't even remember what the video was about, but I remember this song being in there- you can tell where my head was in high school.
"Monkey Wrench" - After all the success of the first record, it was time to go record a new record with the new band Dave Grohl had assembled. This was the first single out of the shoot- and it is so fricken' awesome I don't have a great way of describing it. I was blown away when I first heard it.
"My Hero" - Varsity Blues anyone?
"Hey, Johnny Park" - Another one of those underrated tracks. I know it got some radio play, but this song crushes harder than a savage hangover after a night of drinking Wild Turkey.
"Gimme Stitches" - This wasn't a single, but I love the groove with the guitars hitting on the backbeat. Well done again, Mr. Grohl.
"Stacked Actors" - Yeah, I'm staying away from the singles of their third album because I love the "deep tracks" so much. I used to listen to this song a ton in my dorm room Freshman year of college. Foo Fighters is probably at their best with lighter verses, a build up, then a savage rocking chorus. This song is textbook FF's.
"Aurora" - I love this intro and the song is extremely well written. Again, we're looking at a softer verse with a livelier chorus.
There are plenty of songs that could have been on this list. "Walking After You," "Learn To Fly," "Alone + Easy Target," "Breakout" and so many others. The point is, Foo Fighters are great and it's nice to see that they have still retained their rock base sound unlike many other bands from the 90s who have lost their ability to re-create their signature rock songs from that decade (cough*Radiohead*cough.) I'm all for experimentation, but sometimes it's nice to see bands slide back into their original songs like an old pair of jeans.

For All The Cows is my Aneurysm/Bleed The Freak. Such a great song.
I, too, used to jam the shit out of Stacked Actors in my freshmen dorm. Probably the reason why no woman talked to me...

You could have (and would have) taught me to play guitar. We could have been a modern day Hall and Oates or Loggins and Messina! BUT YOU BLEW IT by allowing yourself to be moved. Shame on you!

Hey- it wasn't my idea to have my dad stop working at the good ol' Campbell's plant! Hilariously, when we moved away from Naptown, my parents let me quit piano lessons. Such a mistake. I would've been a ridiculously awesome pianist/musician had I continued. Instead, I had to teach myself guitar in 8th/9th grade and my piano skills are currently mediocre at best. I'm not blaming them, I was the dumbass who wanted to quit, I just wish I hadn't.
We could've been the greatest Wally Szczerbiak-themed duo in rock history.
