Cramming in as much knowledge as she could the night before had cause quite a lack of sleep. Staring blankly at the booklet she flipped open the first page, biting down on her lips in worry. 'Oh. A math problem?' Staring at the complex algebraic equation she was to solve for X. Within a few seconds she had already calculated the answer! Next portion. History. 'Easy!' Her conscious turning off and going into an auto pilot-like mode as her brain searched through those hundreds of text book pages for the right information before answering the questions.

The platoon traversed the tree ridden forrest and quickly made it within sight of the compound. A thin, rusted fence that covered the perimeter of the concrete bunker that presumably lead to an underground! Sighting two gate guards a fire team patrolling the exterior of the fence the platoon's marksmen swiftly took out the gate guards, with the rest taking out the fire team. Anderson being called up to the body of what seemed to be the 'officer' of the team and was ordered to extract any possible memory of the man of the underground compound. Complying she took off her grey mittens and placed her hand on the man's bear skinned neck. Her eyes closed tightly as visions of the man came into view. Her facial expressions painful and grim, blood beginning to trickle from her nose, while keeping focus on the task at hand. Exploring the man's memory that located the HVT's office and the pathway she quickly broke away, breathing heavily as she dried the blood with her handkerchief before mapping out the complex for the drop lead.

Grease Fires and Kitchen Safety
It's a scene that could be lifted from a movie: one moment you're cooking and the next, everything is on fire. That's the scary nature of grease fires and it's one of the worst things that can happen in any kitchen. And to make matters worse: you cannot use water to put out the fire.
Yes, that's right. You CANNOT pour water to snuff out a grease fire. Doing so will only make the situation worse. What you need to do is, first, not panic. Being in a kitchen gives you all the tools you need to put such a fire out. Instead of instinctively reaching for water, turn your attention to removing all the oxygen from the flame. You do this by covering the flame with another pot or a baking pan. If you find it difficult to cover the flame, dump A LOT of baking soda on it.
The solution is quite simple, right? However, that works best when the fire is in a home kitchen. A commercial kitchen will require a lot more than just baking soda. You will need something bigger, like a Halon extinguisher or an Aqueous Film Forming Foam. However, Halon extinguishers are expensive and contain elements that are bad for the environment.
The best way to help prevent a fire in the first place is to install a hood system. But if this is not an option, you should always have a fire extinguisher near.
A fire extinguisher may work, but only if used the right way. Shooting an extinguisher directly at a fire will spread it rather than contain it. What you have to do instead is stand further back. One of the drawbacks to this method is that it takes a while longer for the fire to be put out. You also need to make sure that you have the right extinguisher.
CO2 extinguishers are the most common. They work by removing oxygen but can disperse rather quickly. Another concern to keep in mind is if the extinguisher is pressurized, meaning spraying too close will actually do more damage. The white substance that comes out of the extinguisher is cold, which is not good for electronic stoves, but it maybe be the best option overall to stop the fire.
Dry-powder extinguishers, on the other hand, are best used outdoors and work well on small fires. But since this device uses a lot of powder, it can be very messy.
Kitchen Safety
If you were to choose between not starting a fire in the kitchen and successfully putting out a fire, you would most likely opt for the former. Prevention is always better, and although grease fires may happen, there are steps you can take to avoid them.
One, make sure the hood system is turned on at all times when cooking. Its purpose in the kitchen is to remove airborne grease, smoke, odors, heat, steam, fumes, and combustion products.
Two, keep a clean cooking surface. Your hood system can only do so much; you should do your part as well and always make sure excess food is wiped away.
Three, know when you are defeated. Some fires take a turn for the worse even after you've exhausted all options. You have to think about your safety as well. Call for help and get everyone to safety.

July 23, 2007 – Last week, President Bush underwent his second colonoscopy, joining the growing number of Americans who are proactively getting a screening test for colorectal cancer – the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.
"President Bush is setting an example for every American about the importance of regular colorectal cancer screening. Although much progress has been made in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer," said Carolyn Aldigé, president and founder of the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation. "More Americans need to get routinely screened after turning 50. If there is a personal or family history of colorectal cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease, we suggest talking to your health care professional because you may need to be screened earlier or more frequently."
In 2000 CRPF and 54 partner organizations joined together to make March National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Since that time, CRPF has been at the forefront of educational awareness about and the importance of colorectal health and screening.

Rugby statistics: Nadolo set to probe Leinster weakness out wide
Leo Cullen's side have conceded six tries to wingers in five previous pool games
Montpellier's Fijian wing Nemani Nadolo has a good try-scoring record against Leinster. Photograph: Geoff Caddick/AFP/Getty
Did you know that Leinster were susceptible to conceding tries to wings in the first five rounds of this season's Champions Cup, that 11 of the 14 tries Ulster have amassed to date in the tournament have been claimed by backs.
Or were you aware that the Munster forwards are as prolific as the backs when it comes to the try-scoring stakes?
Well you are now.
Going into the weekend's final pool matches, Leinster, who travel to Montpellier, having already qualified for the knock-out stage of the competition securing a home quarter-final, are keen to end a three-season hiatus without a victory in France.
The Irish province have lost and drawn their two most recent matches at the Altrad Stadium on a pitch that boasts a heavy, cloying surface and so they will be keen to avoid a forward-oriented arm-wrestle. As the tournament's top try scorers (19), Leo Cullen's side has embraced an entertaining yet ruthlessly effective style of rugby; the steel fist and the velvet glove.
That's reflected in the try-scoring statistics, an 11-8 split in terms of backs and forwards, with outhalf Jonathan Sexton leading the way from an individual perspective with three.
On the other side of the ball, Leinster have conceded 10 tries in five matches, seven to backs and six of which were scored by wings Nemani Nadolo (2), Niko Matawalu (2), James Short and Tommy Seymour.
Montpellier's giant Fijian Nadolo will cast a long shadow again on Saturday. The French Top 14 leaders have scored 16 tries and he accounts for six and, even more relevantly, he's crossed for four tries in his last three games against Leinster. Oh, and they are likely to have former Ulster and Springboks scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar available after an injury layoff.
Vern Cotter's side though have leaked 20 tries – only Glasgow and Northampton have shipped more – and of those, they have given up six to opposing backrow forwards and five to wingers.
Munster are next up when they host Castres Olympique at Thomond Park on Sunday (1.0), knowing that a victory will be enough to confirm them as pool winners. The two sides drew 17-17 on the opening weekend of the competition.
There is a curious symmetry to the statistics governing the campaign to date, Johann van Graan's team splitting in half the try-scoring honours, six to the backs, six to the forwards and similar equanimity in defence with a four/four divvy-up; Munster have conceded the fewest tries (eight) in the tournament.
Toughest remit
Simon Zebo (2) is the only Munster player to touch down for more than one try while of the 12 the province have scored, the backrow trio of Peter O'Mahony, Chris Cloete and CJ Stander with one apiece are front-runners in terms of a unit within the team.
Castres have accumulated the majority of tries through the three-quarter line, 11 of 13, but are also vulnerable out wide in defence with nine of 14 conceded to fullbacks and wings.
Ulster have the toughest remit as they have been sent to Coventry on Sunday (3.15) where they must beat Wasps and while there is a mathematical permutation by which the English club can qualify for the playoffs, their coach Dai Young has dismissed the notion as fanciful in the wake of the heartbreaking last -gasp defeat to Harlequins last weekend.
However Wasps possess one of the sharpest backlines in the tournament and are particular effective off set piece platforms. They are the joint second highest try scorers (17) alongside Saracens and the Ospreys so it was a real testament to the manner in which Ulster defended when the sides met in Belfast last October that they managed to prevent the English club scoring a try – a statistic they'd love to replicate on Sunday.
Ireland wing Jacob Stockdale's three tries is the most as an individual for Les Kiss' squad while 11 of the 14 have come from backs; secondrow Alan O'Connor, hooker Rory Best and flanker cum number eight Nick Timoney upheld the honour of the forwards. Ulster's nemesis in defence are opposing backrow forwards.

Sometimes you just need to get away. When you have a kiddo that has a difficult time regulating their senses, finding a destination that puts the fun in FUNctionality can cause great anxiety. When you are a parent of a cherub with additional needs, vacations usually look like any other day. When you are a sibling to a kiddo with extra needs, your vacation ideas may be trumped in order to accommodate your sibling's needs. We are THAT family, and we found the perfect getaway locale that suited us all.
Branson, Missouri is where we parked the car and stayed awhile. One may often confuse this destination for those that mark their lives with early bedtimes, early afternoon dinner buffets and show-tune filled performances that get your feet tapping and your hands a-clapping. What once may have been the grandparents' retreat of choice has now become our favorite fall getaway….nestled quaintly in the Ozark Mountains.
During this extended retreat, we found several places to go and activities to do that thrilled each and every one of us. Not often do those words purse my lips, so when it does happen, it is noteworthy.
We started out at Silver Dollar City. An amusement park set in the hills and is made to resemble a picturesque mining village from the 1800's.
This is a sensory seeker's paradise. We coordinated our trip to be there for the National Harvest Festival. This festival brings out crafters and artisans from a time long ago lost. Those participating dress and act as though they were living in the days of the pioneers. Period clothing and tools make you truly believe you have stepped back in time to a more simple way of frontier living. You hear the clanking of metal as you watch it warmed in stoves and then shaped into designs that will immediately be sold.
You feel the warmth as you step into the building where they melt, blow and shape glass pieces. You smell the fresh, hot apple dumplings as they are served throughout the park with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream. Whether it's the work of a Blacksmith, Glass Cutter, Potter or Candy Maker, there is certainly an activity to engage the senses and bring smiles to the faces of all involved.
Since all of the young people in our family love roller coasters and any other type of twirly, flippy, make you hurly kinda ride, amusement parks are fairly common destinations for us. I have to say that Silver Dollar City is one of the very best we have experienced. It isn't just for the rides either. The park is staffed by mature, courteous, and helpful personnel. Have a conversation with any one of them and it is obvious that they enjoy their job and the visitors they serve and interact with. The park is very clean. I didn't see 'gum scrapers' like I did when we were at THE mouse's house, but that doesn't mean they weren't there. You can tell that the staff takes pride in where they work and what they do. That itself was a top experience for me, as the mama bear leading my cubs on the adventure.
Another thing I loved about this park was the absence of chaos and crowds. Again, I have a sensory seeker so my chaos meter is usually overflowing. It was nice to not have to stand in long lines and worry about losing a child in a sea of humanity. Speaking of which, I did use our ID patches from If I Need Help. I simply stitched them on the shirts of all of my kiddos before heading to the park and had a secure feeling knowing that if someone were to wander, I could quickly get their important information and a recent picture of them to park personnel within minutes. To find out more information about If I Need Help, visit their website at www.ifineedhelp.org.
Upon entering the park, we visited the Guest Relations building to speak to them about how they handle guests with additional needs. Again, I am reiterating that they were staffed by mature, caring personnel that walked us through the process of how they handle each individual situation. A nice, grandfatherly looking man handed me a Ride Guide and Informational brochure for Guests with Disabilities. This very nice fella went over all of the criteria for each ride and based on my child's needs recommended what rides would, and would not, be appropriate for him. During this initial screening, he spoke politely to my child and engaged him in excitement about the events of the day. Although I wasn't keen on the name of the guide, I was pleased that they did have protocol in place to deal with such situations. The guide explains the amenities available throughout the park as well as detailed information about what to expect on each ride. They also provide information for companions riding with a person needing assistance so they will know the locations of first aid and guest relation sites across the park. At the end of the guide is a ride admission form that allows for the rider in need of assistance and their family to board the ride through a special entrance, thereby eliminating the need to stand in long lines (during peak seasons) and avoid meltdowns. You may find that once you arrive at a ride, they will set a specific time for you to return and board the ride. This didn't happen to us, as we were always allowed to board immediately, but during busy operating times it is a process they may implement. Once you are ready to board, simply enter through the special entrance, hand the form to the ride attendant and they will do another screening to make sure the ride is fully accessible and accommodating to the rider. They then sign off each time the rider boards. Again, with the park not being very crowded we didn't get to test this program like we had fully planned, but knowing that they did have safeguards in place to accommodate those in need was reassuring.
It was quickly apparent upon entering the park that all of our five senses would be put through their paces. Lest we forget our other two senses. Our vestibular and proprioceptive senses had their share of opportunities to engage on this adventure too. Not only did the roller coasters give us all a lesson on gravity, balance and our bodies in motion, but some in our group also commented on how they loved the feeling of being tightly 'hugged' by the restraining devices that tightly held the rider in place during the loops and drops. Personally, I tend to close my eyes during the wildest of rides. Seeing our pictures publicly displayed on the monitors at the end of the ride were often my only visual take away from the roller coaster rides. Of course, being a seeker, those are the rides my kiddo gravitated toward.
As if we hadn't experienced enough to wake up our senses and keep them busy for the day, there was still more to see and do. We took in the Wild West Stunt Show and watched a reenactment of a comedy of errors old west style shoot'em up. Good guys vs. bad guys…if I say more it may ruin it for you. The use of live animals and stunt man choreography was enough to keep everyone entertained and engaged for the duration of the show. Walking in and out of the natural cavern amphitheater was enough to count as several days of moderate exercise, which was good considering the smell of freshly made candy and baked goods as you exited the show.
Our final stop for the day was the Marvel Cave. The cave itself dates back to the 1500's and was discovered by the Osage Indians. It has been an active tourist destination since 1894. Silver Dollar City was build around the cave. This is a very strenuous tour and is only advisable for those that can physically and mentally endure the hour long walking trip 500 feet below the surface. There are more than 600 stairs to traverse and much of the tour does have dangerous areas. It is an active cave, and although there are rails in most places, it is not completely a safe zone for those that like to wander or seek thrills. Since my kiddo fell into that category, I was edgy the entire tour. We were the only participants in our group, so once we reached the middle of the tour, they turned off all of the lights. We were 500 feet below the surface of the earth in complete darkness. That was quite the sensation. There is a cable train that takes you out of the cave at the end of the walking tour. However, it has been known to not always work, so they ask that you only take the tour if you are capable of back peddling your entire way out in reverse. They also offer lantern tours of the cave during certain hours and dates of the year. Tickets to Marvel Cave are separate from the park ticket and are not included in the park entry fee.
As a family that often finds it difficult to come to a happy consensus on travel destinations, Silver Dollar City certainly made that a thing of the past. With over 30 rides for all levels of daredevils and thrill seeker enthusiasts, it had enough to keep us busy for several days. If members of your traveling group aren't as eager to engage in upside down type of thrills, the park also has a life sized walk through area that resembles an old village. There is a petting zoo, house, jail, schoolhouse and church that will give you the feeling that you have stepped back to the 1850's in rural America. Silver Dollar City will be opening an entirely new family themed section in spring of 2015. Fireman's Landing will have family rides and fun zones designed for ages 3 to 93.
After taking a day to relax and rest our legs from our Silver Dollar City adventure, we headed over to Sight and Sound Theatre to catch a Broadway worthy performance of Jonah.
Being that it was housed in a theatre named for senses, we felt certain this would be another must do item on our sensory seeking vacation. Again, we were not disappointed. We knew the biblical story of Jonah, so we were very anticipatory of how they could make such a story come to life. Because it is a professional theatrical company presentation, pictures inside of the theatre were not allowed. However, it was performed on a 300-foot stage (yep, think football field size) that wrapped around 3 sides of the audience. Additionally, performers, both of the human and animal kind) routinely walked the aisles. Oh yeah, don't forget to look UP. That is where you will find the star of the show. The sets were colorful and eye catching. Measuring in at four stories tall, the life sized set allows the scenes to take place all over the stage. There really isn't a bad seat in the 2,000-seat auditorium. The show lasted almost two and a half hours, but there was an intermission between the two acts. They did have concessions in the hallways of the theatre and also brought snack vendors into the main theatre during intermission.
Branson is known for shows, and this was one of the top rated shows currently in production. The Sight and Sound Theatre has been home to this faith based theatrical company since 2008. Not only do they use actor portrayals to make the stories of the Bible come to life, but they also use animatronics, pyrotechnics, and 3D video imaging to create a very realistic view of the story of Jonah. Clearly a sensory adventure for those wanting to immerse themselves into this Biblical story.
It should also be noted that when reserving the seats, the customer service representative was very helpful in offering suggestions on seating arrangements. When traveling with a child that may sometimes need an immediate sensory break, knowing a clear exit strategy is always good. I explained this need to the representative and she took that into account when assisting us with our seat selections.
Located next to Table Rock Lake, Branson is traditionally known as an outdoor vacation spot. However, the weather is generally accommodating into late October. If you can travel to the area during that time, you will be greeted by the glorious colors of changing foliage. There is plenty to do on the lake, as well as in town. Branson Landing is a clean and popular dining and shopping plaza on Lake Taneycomo (not to be fooled, it's more like a river). There is a spectacular dancing fountain display and seasonal firework display to entertain family members of all ages. The Strip is full of many exciting visual experiences and numerous extreme go-kart and mini golf fun houses. Since it is so close to the water, there are loads of water activities available. Because we were there in the fall, we didn't get in the water, but we did play on the water. We had a glorious day of fishing off of one of the many marina docks. The water is very clear and great for casting a line. We didn't catch enough to feed us dinner….ok, being honest, we didn't catch enough to feed us a snack either, but it was fun, family bonding time and a great opportunity to use our tactile and olfactory senses.
Another trip highlight was found on the strip. They have a permanent Titanic Museum that is fabulous. Built to replicate the inside of the famed ship, each guest is given an identity of a real life passenger upon boarding. Once you make your way through the museum, you learn the fate of passenger that you have portrayed. There is a room that is made to resemble the outside of the ship as it is sinking. The temperature is that of the outside air during the disaster, which was 24 degrees. There is also a container of water that is the temperature of the ocean water at the time of the sinking, 28 degrees. Participants are allowed to put their hands in the water to see how long they can withstand the cold. My kiddo did it for over 3 minutes. Me, a few seconds and I needed a heating unit and gloves.
The next time you find yourself in need of a get-away and know that it's only possible if you take the sensory seeking cherubs with you, consider visiting Branson. There are so many family friendly options in and around town to consider. Accommodations run from budget friendly camping to five star resorts. It is conveniently located in the middle of the country, so it is a drivable journey from many major cities. They also have a small airport for those that may want to fly.

Raven's Wish Gallery is pleased to announce a solo art exhibition by Karolyn Alexander of Whitewater. Using acrylic paint and a variety of tools including pencils, paint pens, water-soluble crayons, credit cards, palette knives, kitchen utensils, sticks and skewers, fingers and brushes of every shape and size, Alexander's work begins intuitively by making marks or laying down patterns of paint that are then altered or painted over to some degree. The artist states, "I always paint with music playing in my studio and a favorite strategy is to use my non-dominate hand to create marks and brushstrokes."
An artist reception will be held from 6 pm to 8 pm on Friday, September 8th at Raven's Wish Gallery, 101 W. Milwaukee Street in Janesville.
The exhibition will hang through September 27th and the gallery is open from 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday and 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday.

This month I am providing you with a more general blog than usual, specifically aimed at helping you prepare your vehicle for the winter weather that is bound to hit the UK eventually.
Try these tips:
• Look after your windscreen. Obviously you need to keep it clean so make sure the windscreen washer is topped up.
These days you can get a more concentrated car wash that doesn't freeze. Think about having any scratches, chips or abrasions fixed as the cold weather can make them worse. And don't forget the de-icer.
• Set up a checklist. Make a list of all the things that should be checked. These will include car batteries, bulbs and wiper blades. You don't want to get stuck out in the cold for the sake of a bulb.
• Plan for really bad weather. Every year we seem to be caught out in this country by a particularly vicious cold snap. Remember the Beast from the East? Think about packing a survival kit including spare clothes, torch, mobile phone charger, tow rope, shovel and emergency rations including water and chocolate.
• Dress appropriately for the weather. It may be okay to sit in a t-shirt while the heater is blasting out hot air but if it packs up you could be in serious trouble.
So a bit of forethought can save you a lot of hassle. Be safe over Christmas and the festive holiday period.
Special Note: Cloverleaf Car Services sell genuine spare parts which are on average 50% cheaper than main dealer prices!

There is no straightforward answer to this question as the steps you must take are different depending on whether the death has occurred in the home, a hospital, care home or Hospice.
If the death occurred in the home, the first thing you must do is call the deceased doctor who will visit to confirm the death. Once this has occurred you can call Secure Haven who will carry out the removal returning your loved one to our chapel or rest.
If the death occurs at a care home, the care home will organise a doctor to confirm the death and once this is done you can contact Secure Haven to arrange for the deceased to be collected.
If the death occurred in a hospice or hospital, the doctor will confirm the death, you will then be able to advise the bereavement officer if the funeral will be burial or cremation and who your preferred funeral director will be. If you choose cremation, medical forms will be completed by two doctors before the deceased is clear for removal.
Once all of this is done you can go ahead and register the death. This must be done 5 days ( 8 for Scotland) after a death has occurred.
If you have anymore questions for the team do not hesitate to call us on 01245377077

With the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2010 (KLIMS'10) a mere 5 months away, the excitement is already building up. The KLIMS'10 Organising Committee have announced that a Toyota Prius will be given away to a lucky visitor at this year's show.
"Given the current worldwide concern for environmental health, the KLIMS '10 Organising Committee has aptly chosen "We CARE" as the theme for the event. Electro-mobility, electric and hybrid cars are very much the way of the future. Hence, this time round we wanted to give away a car which was specifically designed with the 'green' theme in mind. We are delighted that UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd has stepped up to sponsor our lucky draw grand prize. The Toyota Prius is a wonderful example of the green technology now being implemented by most car manufacturers," shared Y.Bhg. Datuk Aishah Ahmad, President of MAA and Chairman of KLIMS '10 Organising Committee.
Although the widespread use of "green" cars is still some time off, with a growing interest in environmental conservation, globally many governments are now making big investments into programs that will push green technology forward and make the eco-friendly cars more readily available on the market.
"It is at this lively event that we shall showcase the latest in emerging auto technology; including the newest models and a selection of concept and revolutionary vehicles. With the concept of care for the environment, KLIMS'10 visitors are assured an impressive display of vehicles with the latest in 'green' automotive technology," added Y.Bhg. Datuk Aishah Ahmad.
KLIMS'10 will be the ultimate way to end the year and is set to take place from 3rd to 12th December at the iconic Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur. With a large showcase of cars, interactive features and live entertainment, it will undoubtedly be a fun-filled event that should not be missed! Apart from the Toyota Prius as the lucky draw grand prize, there will be many other giveaways for visitors throughout the 10 days event.
The motor show is open to all members of the public for the price of RM15 (weekdays) and RM20 (weekends) for adults and RM5 for children. Families interested in a great day out can purchase a family pass for RM30 (weekdays) and RM40 (weekends) that permits entry of husband and wife and up to 5 children under the age of 12!

The aftermath of the Stanley Cup Finals Game 7 was just barbaric. Good thing we left the place even when the game was just starting. Anything can really happen in such a huge crowd especially when some of them were under the influence already of alcohol or I don't know what else. Last night, was just a very horrible, scary and disappointing situation to witness.
I was in downtown just tonight to attend Lifegroup and the place felt safe already. Though, I haven't passed by the location of the incident. It was just nice that people were helping out this morning to clean up the streets. Those crazy guys should be punished to clean the streets for a year. Hehe…
Here's a photo when we got stuck in the crowd.

Hollis & Ian || Summer Love Engagement
Hollis and Ian's engagement session was all about slowing down to spend some time together.
Between jobs, wedding planning and the city bustle, sometimes the summer can get away on us. I'm grateful to have been able to help them turn the world off for a little while. I even coaxed them into going out for dinner and enjoying a proper date after we were finished!
Making time for love, it's the best.
Looking forward to the best date of all at their wedding this fall!

BECYCLE besties
A tale of sweat and sisterhood: curly girls Anni and Katie (known around BECYCLE as the curly haired couple) met in an intense HIIT/BE60 class doubleheader less than a year ago, and they've been besties ever since. Empowered by one another's ambition, energy, and spirit on and off their bikes, these two = major friendship goals. Read on for their origin story.
Introduced to one another by AJ (thanks, AJ!), Anni and Katie started chatting after BE60. Anni describes that initial conversation as "so enriching!". At the time, Anni's work was her main focus. She went to BECYCLE to blow off steam and preserve her sanity – not to meet her best friend. But she and Katie set a date to meet in class the next day, and the next… and that was the start of Anni and Katie.
After their second class and a My Goodness smoothie date, Katie, an avid backpacker, lent Anni a backpack for her upcoming business trip to Hawaii. The two bonded over Hawaii in a big way: When Katie had visited Hawaii previously, the beautiful light and natural beauty there completely astounded her. "The spirit and the life there, it is just different," she says. Anni knew to look out for this purported magic in Hawaii because of Katie, meanwhile traveling to Hawaii was a dream realized for Anni, too. The new friends texted the entire time Anni was away and before she came back to Berlin, Anni participated in the Hawaiian tradition of giving something back to the ocean: a bracelet. The pair bonded over both having had this mystical Hawaiian experience, so what started as a coincidental class companion relationship has evolved into true sisterhood.
Upon Anni's return, these BECYCLE besties continued to deepen their friendship, with wine nights, more BECYCLE classes ("We could have met (for) coffee… but instead we met to do sports together."), weekend trips… the two were even approached by an artist painting a series on strong women. Now they each have a portrait, proving that powerful women empower each other.
Take it from Katie: "You shouldn't be afraid of moving around and new discoveries. You should be afraid of standing still and staying in your comfort zone. People come and go (like Anni!) and this is good because there will always be new people who inspire you…. Our friendship is thanks to BECYCLE! We both push ourselves for the same passion."
Say hey to this incredibly dynamic duo next time you see them, and be on the lookout for your own studio soulmate!

Ostend (Belgium)
Cruise Port schedule, live map, terminals, news
Western Europe - Azores - Canary Islands
Local Time
2019-08-23 18:14
5.1 m/s
Ostend (Oostende) is an Atlantic Ocean port city, located in Belgium's West-Flanders province. The city covers a total area of approx 38 km2 (15 ml2) and has population around 70,000.
- Ostend comprises the boroughs of Raversijde, Stene, Zandvoorde and Mariakerke, and the city of Ostend proper – the biggest on the Belgian coast.
- In earlier times, the city of Ostend was just a small village established on the east-end of an island (called Testerep) between a beach lake and the North Sea. The tiny village rose to the "town" status around 1265 when its inhabitants were permitted to hold a market and build a market hall. Their major source of income was fishing. The coastline of the North Sea has always been unstable and in 1395 Ostend's inhabitants decided to create a new Ostend behind huge dikes and further away from the threatening sea.
- Oostende is famous for its sea-side esplanade, including fine-sand beaches, pier and Royal Galleries of Ostend. Ostend is visited by plenty of day-trippers heading to the beaches, especially during the summer months. Most tourists from inland Belgium and foreigners arrive by train and head for the closest beach area, Klein Strand, next to the pier. The locals and other Belgium residents usually occupy the bigger beach (het Groot Strand). Oostende used to be visited predominately by the British, French, Dutch and Germans, but is today mainly frequented by Dutch and Belgians.
- Close to the beach is a well-preserved section of fortified Atlantic Wall, open to the public as the Atlantic Wall Open Air Museum in Raversijde. During summer evenings visitors can walk through the tiny streets around Het Vissersplein. At certain times there are local markets in neighbourhood streets. In the summer Vissersplein features music festivals. Vissersplein is a car free zone with lots of brasseries where patrons sit outside and have a drink. Towards port side there are little fish outlets, and beyond that ferries can be observed docking.
Since 1846, Ostend is connected to UK (England) via ferries to Dover with regularly scheduled service provided by P&O Ferries.
Ostend cruise terminal
Cruise ships in Ostende dock at the quay in outer-port. The berth is approx 0,5 km from open sea and located close downtown. Port's convenient location allows fast connections with hinterland Belgium via highway and trains.
RORO berths (for ferries) have direct access to city's main road network. The terminals are connected to Europe's E-road network (E 40, Europe's longest) from Calais (France) connecting Belgium, Germany, Poland, Ukraine and Russia, all the way to China. The highway's A10 motorway connection is just 1 km from the seaport.
Ostende ferry port has 5 berths (including 1 side loader) and large outdoor parking lot (sized 10 hectares / 0,1 km2).
Port Ostend cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Ostend, Belgium. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

2016-2017 PGA TOUR Season Awards
Writer: Lucas Garza
After a season filled with drama, I have taken time to congratulate and recognize players, caddies, and courses on their outstanding (and some not so outstanding) performances throughout the season.
Player of the Year: Justin Thomas
Justin Thomas proved himself to be a superstar this season. He won five times, shot 59 in Hawaii, shot the lowest U.S. Open round in relation to par, won his first major, and took home the FedEx Cup (along with a $10 million bonus). Before this season, he was just known as Jordan Spieth's best friend, but now Justin can stand on his own. Swinging out of his shoes on nearly every shot, Justin was able to connect all the pieces of his game in order to play well. When playing his best, his approach shots were close and the mid-range putts were falling, and nobody seemed to be able to catch him.
Rookie of the Year: Xander Schauffele
With wins at the Greenbrier Classic and the TOUR Championship, Schauffele is my rookie of the year. He became known to many by contending early at the U.S. Open, and finishing in the top 5. For a guy that doesn't stand out in any particular part of his game, collecting well over $5 million in his first season is not too shabby.
Comeback Player of the Year: Patrick Cantlay
After having to recover from multiple back surgeries and the tragic death of his caddy, Patrick Cantlay was allowed 10 starts this season on a medical exemption. The former top-ranked amateur made the most of his second start by securing his PGA TOUR card with a 2nd place finish at the Valspar Championship. Cantlay finished in the top 3 at the RBC Heritage the next month, and posted two more top 10 finishes in the season. Cantlay seems to be physically and emotionally healed and plans to play a full schedule next season.
Disappointing Player of the Year: Rory McIlroy
Although he was sidelined and bothered by a nagging rib injury all season, Rory still led the TOUR in Average Driving Distance. We were able to see a glimpse of a 2014 Rory in late July and early August with his drives that never seemed to land and his famous strut down the fairways, but his putter never cooperated. He was toying with different putters all season, and was never able to feel comfortable on the greens. Rory failed to make the TOUR Championship and did not have top 3 finish all season.
Best Course (Non-Major): Riviera Country Club
The 18th hole at Riviera is my favorite hole on TOUR, and always makes for a demanding finish for the leaders. Dustin Johnson had a drama-free victory at the Genesis Open this year, but the 18th hole did make for some great finishes at the U.S. Amateur. Putts were made and chips were holed out in order to win and extend matches. The rest of the course forces some tough decisions to be made, such as the drivable par-4 10th hole.
Best Course (Majors): Erin Hills
Par is just an easier way to keep track of the score. There is no rule that the U.S. Open has to have a winning score in a certain range in relation to par. Whoever hits the ball the fewest times wins the golf tournament. Brooks Koepka drove the ball with power, putted effectively, and found strategic ways to play the awkwardly distanced holes well. There were no complaints from the players about the conditions of the course, and the high fescue that lined the fairways turned out to be not as penalizing as Kevin Na thought it would be.
Worst Course: TPC Four Seasons at Las Colinas
It just doesn't look good. When I watched the AT&T Byron Nelson Championship on TV this year, the course looked like a slightly longer version of an everyday municipal course. It was almost difficult to watch, and the players didn't seem to be enjoying it, either. After 35 years of holding the tournament at TPC Four Seasons, the AT&T Byron Nelson will be heading to the other side of Dallas, to Trinity Forest Golf Club. Trinity Forest is a new course designed by Ben Crenshaw and has made a promise to be the TOUR's most intriguing course.
Best Tournament to Watch: The Northern Trust (Honorable Mentions: The Open, The Travelers Championship)
The FedEx Cup Playoffs' first event featured two of the best golfers battling it out down the stretch. Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth did not play lights out, but they did make putts and hit shots when they needed to. They would eventually go into a playoff that was won by Johnson, but it is rare to get to watch two heavyweights go at it like these two did.
Worst Tournament to Watch: Quicken Loans National
For an invitation status tournament, the Quicken Loans National has been failing to produce a solid field. The tournament only plays at Congressional Country Club every other year, and plays a random course in the D.C. area during its off year. This year, Rickie Fowler shot an early 65, which was hardly seen on TV, but it was not enough to win. Kyle Stanley would prevail in a less than great field, which is what an invitational tournament should bring. Now, the tournament is without a headline sponsor and will need some revamping to make it a great stop on TOUR again.
Best Caddy: Michael Greller
Jordan Spieth's tee shot on the 1st hole in the final round of The Open Championship got caught in some high grass on the left side of the fairway instead of kicking back into the fairway as every other player's ball had. Greller responded to Jordan's whining by telling him to "Get over it." When Spieth had to hit a shot from the driving range on hole 13, Greller had to calm Spieth down, give him a round number, and act as an alignment aid for Jordan. On the 15th, Spieth drained a long distance eagle putt and told Michael to "Go get that." The rest is history, as Jordan Spieth won his third major and his first Open Championship.
Shot of the Year: Dustin Johnson (The Northern Trust 1st playoff hole, Hole 18, Tee Shot) (Honorable Mention: Jordan Spieth (Travelers Championship 1st playoff hole, Hole 18, bunker shot))
Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth went into a playoff at The Northern Trust. Dustin Johnson launched a missile on an aggressive line that made his approach shot 88 yards closer than Jordan's. Dustin made birdie, and Jordan made par. The drive still leaves me in awe.
Surprise Player of the Year: Adam Hadwin (Honorable Mention: Charley Hoffman)
Adam Hadwin made a name for himself by shooting 59 in the 3rd round of the Career Builder Challenge. Also, he made 16 straight cuts, and in that span, won the Valspar Championship, finished 2nd at the Career Builder Challenge, and finished 6th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. These early top finishes kept him near the top of the FedEx Cup standings all season. He was also able to string together six birdies in a row at the U.S. open. The next step for him is to seriously contend for a major championship.
Player that makes you say "Good to see that he is playing well again" when he shows up on TV: Keegan Bradley (Honorable Mention: Kyle Stanley)
Ever since the 2012 Ryder Cup, Keegan Bradley has never been the same. He won the 2011 PGA Championship in his first major start and the 2012 WGC-Bridgestone, but has never won since. Since May, he was able to make 12 of 13 cuts, and posted five top 10 finished throughout the season. He had no problem finding fairways and hitting greens, but struggled to find the bottom of the cup compared to his competitor from inside of 25 ft. Keegan should be able to continue his good form, and will hopefully contend in big tournaments once again.
Player that you are almost sure you could beat: Bubba Watson (Honorable Mention: Carl Pettersson)
Bubba was in early contention Thursday morning at The Open Championship, but started whine about the performance of the ball in the windy conditions. His neon green Volvik golf ball just was not biting on the links style greens in a 20 mph wind like he wanted. I know I could beat anybody who uses colored golf balls. He is also becoming notorious for his early walk after missed putts with his hand going into his pockets to get his ball mark. I saw Bubba make two putts outside of 10 feet all season. I just don't think he is very good.
Best Player Without a Major: Rickie Fowler (Honorable Mentions: Jon Rahm, Hideki Matsuyama)
Rickie was the most consistent contender this year in the majors, with two top five finishes and no finishes outside the top 25. Although he is mostly known for his style and camaraderie, he made a name for himself this season with the putter. He ranked 2nd in Strokes Gained Putting, One Putt Percentage, Putts from 10'-15', and putts from 20'-25'. His only win of the season came at the Honda Classic, but he posted 10 top 10 finishes this season. Rickie has to learn from his close calls if he wants to win a major next season.
Most likely to win first major next season: Hideki Matsuyama (Honorable Mention: Louis Oosthuizen)
Matsuyama's worst finish at a major this season was T-14 at The Open. He always seemed to be in contention, or just waiting around for a back door finish attempt. His putting improved from the beginning of the season, as he didn't seem to miss as many short birdie opportunities. His straight and consistent ball flight can travel to almost any course. He will be contending in majors for years to come and will probably win one very soon. Matsuyama won the Waste Management Phoenix Open and the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
Story of the Year: Sergio Garcia
He moved to Austin, won the Masters, and got married. Sergio truly had the time of his life. His focus on golf was clearly no longer the top priority, and his game suffered after winning the Masters. His honeymoon period after winning the Masters has lasted longer than it should, but we give him a break for carrying the title of best player without a major for the majority of his career. Next season, he is going to have to start contending in tournaments again before his game starts to become questioned.
Most Underrated Player: Marc Leishman (Honorable Mention: Daniel Berger)
Winning this season's Arnold Palmer Invitational, the first since Mr. Palmer's passing, seemed to boost Leishman's popularity on TOUR. After the tournament, players spoke highly of him and how he shared many qualities with Arnold Palmer himself. Leishman then ran away with the BMW Championship for his third victory on TOUR. For all of his career, his play has been overshadowed by the games of fellow Australians, Jason Day and Adam Scott, even though Leishman has had four top 10 finishes in majors over the past five years. Hopefully, Marc Leishman will be more appreciated by everyone after his successful season.
Most Overrated Player: Alex Noren
Technically, Alex Noren is not a PGA TOUR member (European Tour), but he is so overrated, he had to win this award. Most casual golf fans don't even know who this guy is, and that's the point. After a few wins on the European circuit, he made it up to 8th in the Official World Golf Rankings in the spring, and stayed in the top 10 for the majority of the summer. Everytime he would play in America, the commentators would talk about how underrated he is, but he never played well in a major in the states. His best American major finish this year was T-67 at the PGA Championship.
Justin Thomas silenced the talk of a "big three." We shouldn't arguing about who the best player is while these guys are displaying their talents. Next season, we should just appreciate the depth of the PGA TOUR, and enjoy the clinics that the players can put on when they're on fire.

If SMS endorsed content, they would likely have to pay royalties/licencing fees for it. As such, i would suspect they cant comment or be at risk of liabilities for unlicenced content. Hence why you likely wont get a response here either, as acknowledgement could be taken for endorsing.
Sadly businesses protecting their IP and with games now mainstream, it is another revenue stream... the days of open modding are diminishing and i suspect will go underground.
And yes i Modded, both for RF1 and RF2 and was fortunate enough to get the OK to do most of my content from the IP owners. But its getting harder, with cease and decist letters commonplace.

About the Photo #3: Crossing Avalanche Lake
For the New Year of 2017, Elizabeth, myself and Scotie Jacobs made our way to the High Peaks Region of the Adirondacks in New York. This is one of our favorite places to adventure and is where Elizabeth & I began our greatest adventure to date, marriage. The goal for these handful of days in the High Peaks was to feel the power of winter, enjoy a few days of camping in the backcountry and see what mountains mother winter would lets us climb.
Here we are about to cross Avalanche Lake from the south end. We had just come off of Mt Colden (4,714 ft) after an attempt to summit but with 70+ mph winds, near whiteout conditions and a mountain top full of thick ice, we safely reversed our course just a 100 feet or so from the summit and headed back down towards Lake Colden.
The trail to Mt Golden is just off of Lake Colden itself so when we reached the bottom on our way back we crossed it on our way towards Avalanche Lake, and eventually to our little basecamp that we set up between the Pass and Marcy Dam.
The wind was hallowing as we made our way out onto the ice of Avalanche Lake. The snow was picking up and the temps dropped even further; at this point we were hovering around 0º and it was around 4pm. I stopped just as I set foot on the southern most part of the ice, as Elizabeth & Scotie continued. After about 50 yards, they paused for a moment to gaze at the far end of the lake and I took this photo. You could see the wind hurling snow from the ice, eventually decreasing visibility where you couldn't make out just where exactly you were as we walked down the center of the lake.

… But I'm reading Lucky magazine and Dug Down Deep by Josh Harris….
I'm almost finished with Dug Down Deep and I highly, highly recommend it. I'm currently reading the chapter about spiritual gifts and the Holy Spirit and I love this quote:
"I've come to see that you can limit God in different ways. You can limit him by thinking he can never work in spectacular ways. But you can also limit him by thinking that only the spectacular is meaningful." pg. 186
I think that's a lot of wisdom contained in two small sentences. That gives me much to think about while I'm stuck inside today.
He also says "To be indwelt by the Spirit of the living, eternal God is a greater gift, a more overwhelming honor than any position, any possession, any amount of wealth, or any human achievement. There is no greater gift that God bestows than the gift of his Spirit. Are you aware of how he is working in you?" pg. 186
Great question. What is he doing in me? How is he working to change me, sanctify me, and make me look more like Christ?

We understand there is nothing like the safety and security of being in your own home. Over time it becomes more than a roof over your head – it becomes your castle. Supporting you to remain living at home is where we can help.
Sue Mann Nursing and Community Care (SMNCC) is a specialist provider of nursing and in-home care services. We cover the Central Coast, Hunter and Sydney – and because we are a local team looking after local people, you have the assurance of a nurse nearby when you need it.
Our approach to care is all about you – your story, your needs, and what makes you happy.
Providing 'Personalised Care by People who Care' is at the heart of our core values.
Established in 1984, Sue Mann Nursing & Community Care started as a one-woman operation working from a car and a built-in cupboard desk to an inter-generational family run business with a growing team. Now the leading community care provider in the region, SMNCC however has remained true to the foundations of the business…being passionate about providing quality care to clients.
Graduating as a Registered Nurse at Gosford District Hospital in 1971, Sue Mann's vision for quality patient care was shaped during her early days on the ward. A self-confessed "non-conformist" Sue challenged the regimented hospital system as a nurse in the 70-'s.
She was disillusioned with the lack of time given to elderly patients in hospital, and was determined to pioneer a way to allow elderly people to stay in their homes, receive the nursing care they needed and enjoy a quality life as long as possible. And so, with a car, a phone, and an address book Sue Mann Nursing Service was born.
Over thirty years on, guided by Sue's inspired leadership and pioneering vision, the Sue Mann team has provided the highest quality of care to thousands of clients all over the Central Coast, Hunter, and now in Sydney. A business built on the expertise of community nursing, and one that understands the value of family. In fact, today, the business is a true family affair. Sue's son Andrew is Managing Director, daughter Brooke is Marketing and Communications Manager and husband Brian, while retired, still dedicates a lot of time to the business he once referred to as "Sue's hobby". In fact the family culture is evident throughout the business with a number of second-generation staff and clients among the mix.
Andrew has played a pivotal role in strengthening and expanding his mother's vision of accessible and professional community based care since coming on board in 2003. He drives the strategic platform, business development and has introduced sophisticated systems and processes across the organisation. He is also responsible for writing all tenders for access to government funding and is regularly asked to present at leading national aged care conferences.
As for the secret to her success in business, Sue says it comes down to relationships, an emphasis on workplace culture and mandatory ongoing training. From the early days, Sue worked closely with local doctors, pharmacists and surgeons and was very grateful for their support in setting up a community nursing service - something that was new and innovative.
Within the business, she created a culture in which collaboration, transparency, communication, education and work life balance are paramount. Sue knows every staff member and makes an effort to engage personally with everyone on her team as often as possible. She is also an advocate for supporting older workers.
There is no one more important in Sue's eyes than the clients themselves and it remains at the heart of everything Sue Mann Nursing & Community Care does.

Our Team
Lori Payne
International Patient Coordinator
I originally moved to Guadalajara from San Diego in September 2009 with a plan to sta, for 6 months. I never left…. except to go back and clean out my storage unit! I had been taking Spanish for about 3 years prior to coming here and always took more classes on every visit. Many people ask me, "but what made you move to Mexico?" The truth is, I didn't plan it but every time I came here, I was never ready to leave! Also, the friendly culture, wonderful food and great weather were plenty of reasons to keep coming back! I love to travel and see other parts of Mexico, too! And, while I have only seen a hand-full of cities, there are many more on my list!
I am a single, blond female who has lived alone since moving here and I have never felt unsafe in any way! More often than not, before people knew I lived in the area, they would ask me if I was lost or needed help. After this long, they now know I am just part of the neighborhood and now, sometimes, people even stop me to ask me for directions.
Although I originally came here just for 6 months, I decided to complete my TEFL certificate upon arrival in order to teach English classes. Luckily, one of the owners of a school I taught at received an email from her friend who was a doctor, a plastic surgeon, and their clinic was looking for a native English speaker to work with people from the U.S. and Canada. I came for the interview and started working just one week later. I now have over 7 years working as a patient coordinator to assist people who are looking to come to Guadalajara or Puerto Vallarta, for surgeries. Since my background was client management, it turned out it was the perfect fit, for everyone!

As a teenager I worked for the New Canaan Recreation Department sweeping the tennis courts in Mead Park. The two men who hired me, Steve Benko and Bill Kapp are still there running the Recreation Department. I also worked at the Baskin Robbins and Walter Stewart's Market in the downtown and these early job experiences gave me an appreciation for the best things in New Canaan that make up the fabric of our community.
After graduating New Canaan High School in 1985 I attended Davidson College in North Carolina on an ROTC scholarship and went on to serve in the Army in Arizona, Georgia, Germany and the Persian Gulf for the next four years. Following military service I came back to New Canaan with my wife to begin our careers in marketing and to raise a family.
I love this town and I am always looking for a way to serve this community.
