Marauders hoop it up McMaster's men's and women's basketball teams support Best Buddies McMaster's "Hooping it Up" event
On March 20, the Best Buddies McMaster University Chapter hosted Best Buddies Canada's annual Hooping it Up event. The event was a free-throw competition that took place in elementary schools, high schools, colleges and universities across Canada. For a $2 donation to your Best Buddies chapter, students will attempt to sink as many baskets as possible within 60 seconds.
Best Buddies Canada is an organization that promotes one-on-one friendships with students and a person with an intellectual disability. At McMaster, students in the club are paired up with people with intellectual disabilities in the Hamilton community better known as "buddies".
Many buddies come from Community Living Hamilton, which is a centre for people with developmental disabilities such as Down Syndrome and Autism. The centre offers a wide range of programs and services that appeal to every age – kids to seniors – and different levels of support.
For chapter president Melodie Kim, her involvement with Best Buddies dates back to her first year in high school.
"I noticed there were a lot of special needs students at our high school who were very isolated from the other students," Kim said. "After getting to know about the Best Buddies program, I thought it would be a great idea to bring it to my school. I contacted Best Buddies Canada and we launched the program as a high school chapter. It was definitely a challenge starting a new club and running it, but it was awesome because we had so much interaction between the students and the special education program."
The success of the club over the next four years was the reason why McMaster having a Best Buddies chapter played a role in Kim making her choice for post-secondary education.
"I joined in my first year and I was paired up with my buddy Laura," Kim said. "It was a transition for me because in high school, the buddies were also in high school, but in university, they were a range of different ages. For example, my buddy Laura just turned 52 last week."
"Commuting from campus to her house was different for me as well but it was nice because we didn't do that in high school," Kim added. "We also had monthly events and a lot of activities planned for us, so I got to know her a lot better through that."
Getting to interact with people outside of the bubble that she lives in is extremely beneficial for Kim, having the chance to interact with other she would normally not encounter.
"We usually only engage with other university students but I think it's important to interact with people from diverse backgrounds," said Kim. "One group of people that many people do not often think about are those with intellectual disabilities. I've even had people ask me why I am friends with them and at first, those questions shocked me — but it made me understand even more how important is to get exposure to people who are different from you are."
Through events like Hooping it Up, students who are not members of the club also get the opportunity to do this.
"We have really wanted to have the basketball team come for a long time now and I think this was the first year we've had them there," said Kim. "It was great because obviously they were very good, so it really made the event a lot more engaging because a lot of people showed up and they were just in awe of how good they were. It was really nice to have them come out and support us."
Christina Buttenham and Hilary Hanaka from the women's basketball team both scored 28 baskets, while Sheldon McIntosh from the men's team scored 20. For the buddies, Susan Holmes scored eight baskets and Jonathan Chalmers scored seven baskets.
For McIntosh, to be able to support the cause in this way allows the Marauders to show a different side of the student-athletes.
"I think it's important because it shows that as athletes, we care more about sports and about the importance of giving back to the community," said McIntosh.
The event is one of hopefully many more sporting events with the Marauders that Kim and the Best Buddies hope to hold in the future. To be able to give those in need a real friendship is a valuable experience to everyone involved.

As surprising as it may sound, I got my hands on a few PlayStation Vita games while the Enthusiast Gaming team was in LA for E3 2018. Leading up to E3 I made a promise to cover any Vita games that were available to play there, which is exactly what I'm doing today! I was able to get my hands on four (but basically three) PS Vita games during my time at E3. Here are my thoughts on each title.
Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight & Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight
The PlayStation Vita may be a legacy platform at this point, but there's still plenty of awesome indie titles making their way to the handheld. Then, every so often, we get mid-tier AAA games from publishers like Sega/Atlus, Square Enix, and a few others. Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight & Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight are releasing early next year, and just might be the last batch of titles from the Sega/Atlus publishing duo.
Developed by Atlus' P-Studio, Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight & Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight build upon the PS Vita exclusive predecessor Persona 4: Dancing All Night in cool ways. However, one big thing the titles seem to be lacking is a traditional Persona storyline, which is what Persona 4 Dance featured (and was actually my favorite part of that game). Don't fret! These two new dancing gems take a different approach with story elements and character interactions. Social links are now a part of the dancing spin-off series. If you've played any of the past three mainline Persona titles, then you're fully aware of what social links have to offer.
Unfortunately, the information on how these social links work is pretty slim. The games are already out in Japan so I'm sure you could find out more info if you dig deep enough. But that's not really what I want to dive into; let's talk gameplay! — Haven't played Persona 4: Dancing All Night? Then I can tell you exactly what you're getting into. I covered Persona 4 Dance during E3 2015 and had this to say, all of which largely applies to Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight & Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight.
"Persona 4: Dancing All Night was very simple starting off, and the controls were not what I expected. I only used the 'up, left, and down' buttons on the left and the 'triangle, circle, and X' buttons on the right (that may change further into the game but it did not change in this demo). Symbols will shoot from the middle of the screen and hover over your HUD of six circles. Your goal is to perfectly time your button clicks whenever they float directly over the HUD circles. Like I said, things start off simple, but that quickly changes. I was amazed with just how complicated the game could get with such a simplistic premise, and it was exhilarating! Slide moves and double hits really jacked up the difficulty. Typically, I'm not very good at rhythm games, but this one seriously kicked my ass. But I didn't want to quit playing!"
Persona Dancing games are chock-full of fan service and incredible music. If you've caught yourself tapping along to the beat of the music in Persona 3 and Persona 5 then you'll probably have a blast playing through these new titles. I'm eager to see how the social link system works in replacement of a traditional storyline. If one thing is certain, it's that P-Studio knows how to write engaging and charming interactions between its characters; I can't wait to play through Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight & Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight when they launch next year on PlayStation Vita.
CHASM Just Might Find Success on Vita
CHASM is an indie game that has been a long time coming. I actually played it two years ago at the same E3 event that I did this year, "The Mix". After jumping into CHASM again recently I can say it's still easily one of my most anticipated indie releases. I talked with Dan Adelman, one of the CHASM team members — he told me that one of the previous projects he was associated with (Axiom Verge) saw major success on PS Vita even after a year-long delay. This is why they decided to bring CHASM to the PlayStation Vita as well. It was an awesome insight into how even the smallest games on the very small install-base of the Vita can find success in a niche market.
So what it CHASM? Well, let the game's official description explain:
"Honor-bound to solve the mystery and restore peace to the Kingdom, you embark upon an epic adventure, with deadly battles against cunning monsters, exploration of ancient catacombs and castles, and powerful new equipment hidden at every turn. Though the overall story is the same for all players, your hero's journey will be unique: each of the rooms has been hand-designed, and behind the scenes Chasm stitches these rooms together into a one-of-a-kind world map that will be your own."
CHASM is a blast to play and a joyful world to scavenge through. The gameplay hits that nostalgic itch and continues to impress. The art style is gorgeous and features an assortment of varied settings. I would be surprised if CHASM didn't catch the eye of a ton of retro-gaming fans just like Axiom Verge did. You can look forward to playing CHASM this summer when it launches simultaneously on PS Vita and PS4 (it's also cross-buy).
CHASM Features
- Explore six massive areas procedurally-assembled from hand-crafted rooms
- Enjoy challenging retro gameplay and authentic pixel art (384×216 native res.)
- Battle massive bosses and discover new abilities to reach previously inaccessible areas
- Customize your character by equipping armor, weapons, and spells
- Coming to PS4/Vita and PC (Win/Mac/Linux via Steam and Humble)
CHASM is the perfect style of game I enjoy playing on a handheld. I'm excited to finally get my hands on it when it launches sometime this summer — no official date confirmed but all signs are pointing to an announcement soon.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
The second I got into my demo room for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night the first question I had was "is it still coming to PlayStation Vita?". The developer re-confirmed that it is in fact still making its way to our favorite handheld, and I'm hoping that never changes.
Just a few weeks ago we received Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon on PS Vita and it was received well by most outlets. In case you missed it, we think it's one of the best games of the year thus far. So, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night already has a lot to live up to. If you didn't know, the game is led by former Castlevania series producer Koji Igarashi, and is considered a spiritual successor to the series. Based on what I played, it's hitting all the right notes.. for the most part.
My one major gripe with Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is the art style. It's just not very appealing. In a world where we're getting fantastic looking 2D games like Ori and the Blind Forest and Rayman Legends, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night just doesn't hit the same bar visually in comparison to most recent 2D and 2.5D games. Honestly, I prefer the retro look of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, and would have loved if Ritual of the Night featured the same art style. But I digress.
"Bloodstained is an exploration-focused, side-scrolling platformer featuring RPG and crafting elements. Koji Igarashi, the namesake of "Igavania"-style games, is leading the project, with Michiru Yamane composing the music and DICO leading the development. The game will be developed for Steam (PC/Mac/Linux), XBOX One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PS Vita. You are Miriam, an orphan scarred by an alchemist's curse which slowly crystallizes your skin. In order to save yourself, and indeed, all of humanity, you must battle your way through a demon-filled castle summoned by Gebel, your old friend whose body has become more crystal than flesh."
At the end of the day, gameplay is king, and Ritual of the Night does gameplay splendidly. Explore and collect new weapons, get in heated fights, and take down some seriously tough bosses. I loved trying out all the different weapons I discovered throughout the build I played, all of which had their pros and cons. At the end of my demo, things really started to open up, so I'm excited to see what else the game has to offer. If you love metroidvania games, there's no reason why you shouldn't be keeping an eye on Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is set to launch sometime this year with no date confirmed. Ritual of the Night was funded on Kickstarter with a campaign originally set for US$500,000. It successfully raised more than $5.5 million from backers, making it the most funded video game crowdfunding campaign on the platform until it was surpassed by Shenmue III shortly after.
There you have it, those are the four PS Vita games I was able to check out during E3 2018. However, there may have been more. I wasn't able to check out a lot of indie titles and Japanese publisher's booths. Do you have your eye on any of these games? Do you still play your PS Vita? Leave all your thoughts in the comments section below!

By Kaysiao Team • December 27, 2016
We are very pleased that a fellow Filchi wanted to contribute to our site. Thank you, Ms. Rencelle Tan. Her advice about understanding men and women could help online daters to realize the differences between men and women. Share the love.
Men and women are different physically and mentally absolutely right? But well, first thing is first we are different to each other but we are from the same planet.
There are many facts and myths in scientific research and studies that shows that men and women are more different than they really are.
This difference somehow affects the relationship of men and women to each other. So, I create a some sort of list to know and understand the difference of men and women to each other.
Well, this list is talking for general attitude and personality of women and men and it's up to you if you categorized yourself or your girlfriend or boyfriend as having one of those in the list.
Women should know about men.
1. Men are more visually-driven. Well, I read in some sites that men are so-called visual creatures because men attracts to a woman's look but it doesn't mean in the same way around to some men. Men, however, are even more apt than women to respond to visual cues.As a result, you might find that men prefer to view a map to understand directions over hearing the directions read, or they might insist that they need to see a problem in order to fix it. Try not to be annoyed at this tendency, and accept it as an inborn trait he may not know how to control.
2. Men are not talkative.Well, this is true as for my boyfriend he usually nods a lot and also in texting always saying "okay". But basically in some research indicates that this difference begins in childhood, when little girls form bonds by sharing secrets and discussing problems while boys bond over shared activities and interests . If you expect your boyfriend or husband to be like your best female conversation partner, only better, you might be surprised - men tend not to build strong relationships through conversation, and they switch topics more frequently than women do.In addition to this, men also don't make as much eye contact when they're talking to someone. Instead, their gazes wander to other objects in the immediate area as they talk.
3. Understand that men can't always identify emotions.Think of the old stereotype of a husband who has no idea what he's done to enrage his wife. It's possible that he's not just being deliberately clueless - he might genuinely have no idea why she's upset, or whether she's upset at all. Because women have more developed limbic systems, they're better at classifying and reading emotions, a skill that was useful when women were primarily in charge of maintaining social connections in ancient cultures. Men, on the other hand, lag behind women in studies of how the sexes identify and control emotions. And in this difference, it disappoint the women's heart and this usually leads to quarrel or worse break-ups.
4. Losing their freedom.Men doesn't want stereotypes kind of women it will make them think of losing freedom.Well, I'm gonna skip the sugar-coating and cut right to the heart of it: men are terrified of losing their freedom. It may sound ridiculous or immature, but it's the truth. This is the reason men are so afraid of commitment, it's the reason they withdraw when a relationship deepens, it's the reason they go hot and cold, and it's pretty much the reason behind almost every relationship issue you've ever had.
Men should know about women
1. We appreciate the little things. Believe it or not, when it comes to impressing us, you don't have to go big or go home. This applies to all things, because what we're really looking for is thoughtfulness. Kind words, meaningful touch, small acts of service- your love is best communicated in the details. When my husband walks in the door with a beautiful flower he picked along the way, it melts my heart more than 10 dozen roses ever could- because he thought of me in the most unexpected moment. The little things often say the most.
2. We want to be your partner – not your mother. Women have the unhealthy tendency of taking care of the men in their lives – and then resenting them. The truth is, we were made to nurture, but in marriage and in healthy relationships, that nurturing needs to be played out in the context of a give-and-take relationship. We want to serve, yet we also need to be served. We want to give, but we also need to feel that we're receiving. We want to be able to take care of our man, but just as much, we want to feel that he's taking good care of us.
3. Women want to feel listened to.Men, she doesn't want us to fix it, Women just wants men to listen. Women doesn't want or need solution to the problem, even if she asked for our opinion. She does want us to understand how she's feeling about the problem and identify with her in that feeling—"Thanks for sharing that with me" or "I'm so sorry that happened" would be good words to consider saying to her.
4. Women want to feel understood.Women need men to understand how they think and feel, even though that is hard. It would help us to understand that most women's thought lives are like computers, with multiple windows open and processing all at once. Unlike many men who can only process one thing at a time, women are constantly juggling multiple thoughts and emotions all at the same time. We are complex! So, men you should be patient.
Men and Women's differs to each but this differences may become a similarities if both of them have a good communication and also trust.Trust is some kind of aspects that once it is broken it cannot be taken back to its original, so be careful. Good communication also becomes a factor because if you are not having communication it will result to misunderstanding and will lead to quarrels and worse break-up.

The giant red spot on Jupiter has always fascinated me. It's a humongous storm that is twice the size of Earth and turns at 310 miles per hour (500 km/hr). That's twice the speed of a category 5 hurricane! It has enough power to level cities here on Earth. Praise the Lord that He didn't put anything like this on our planet.
This storm on Jupiter has lasted for over 300 years. Why? We don't know. Scientists can only study the cloud cover of the storm to try to find out why it has such longevity. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure would crush any probe sent to investigate the center of the storm. In lieu of studying the storm itself, some scientists have taken to studying the next best thing here on Earth–ocean eddies. These can last up to 8 years and they have mathematical similarities to the storms on Jupiter.

The Best Cinnamon Sugar Applesauce
The BEST Cinnamon Sugar Applesauce recipe! This is my FAVORITE homemade apple picking recipe that's so easy to make! All you need is apples, cinnamon, sugar and lemon juice! It's quick to make and tastes delicious! I love eating this as a snack and baking bread with it! It's great for canning too!
"Best". I know that's pretty bold, but this applesauce is just that good. After eating the first spoonful I nearly fell to the floor in tears. Where has this applesauce been my entire life? The recipe is pretty basic with just apples, sugar, cinnamon and a little bit of lemon juice. You can have this in your belly in about 15 minutes which adds bonus points to the process.
After I made this applesauce I'm finding it hard to ever go back to the jarred version, it's just so rich and fresh. After you eat it, life will be better. You will start to smile more, you will dance a little bit, you will pick up your pets and hug them, you will yell to your neighbor who you never talked to across the street "Have a great day beautiful!". It's that good.
I made this applesauce with my nifty new toy, my Weston food strainer. It's life changing. It peels, core sand deseeds for you, I love it dearly. Food mill if you are reading this, I love you. I bought it specifically for tomato season since every single year I question why I don't have one, so I bit the bullet and bought it on Amazon on Saturday night and Monday morning at 8AM the Fedex man buzzed up and told me it was here. How did it get here so quick?

Bond Girls are sexy, that's a given. They are also smart, wicked smart and respected. Often they are experts in espionage, negotiation and seduction. The only known weakness of a Bond Girl is the ability to say no to James Bond. Well, they say no, but Mr. Bond is very charming, persistent and eventually no means yes, in a good way, the Bond way.
For the actresses playing these roles, being a Bond Girl can be either a stepping stone or defining moment, or both. Bond movies provide an outlet for actresses to flaunt their sexiness as well as be badass. Who wouldn't want to be involved in an international spy triangle? It sounds exhausting, but not to worry, the sheets are silk and James Bond love making will ensure restful sleep.
The character names were never subtle, always amazing and often contain a double entendre. Plenty O'Toole, Mary Goodnight and Tiffany Case are a few that jump out; of course, Bond Girl names peaked with the evil Pussy Galore, because, well, you know. Each girl had their own attribute, but the story arc is often similar. The girl is a spy or connected to a spy who gets murdered. Bond enters the picture to either work with or compete against the girl to complete a mission (often involves microfilm for some reason). The girl initially refuses Bonds advances, but eventually gives in (usually after a heroic Bond moment).
Who didn't make the list? A lot of great Bond Girls, and if you are looking for Halle Berry as Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson, you will be disappointed. Yes, the list is that strong! Here are your top 10 Bond Girls.
10 Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach, The Spy Who Loved Me)
Amasova was a top spy and member of the KGB. Her code name was Triple X. Her mission was to return microfilm that had been stolen. James Bond was also tasked with retrieving the microfilm. The two competed against each other to be the first to retrieve the film only to find that their two units (MI6 and KGB) were now going to work together and that they should team up. Team up they did; although, she did refuse his initial advances. Eventually Bond saved her life when a man named Jaws attacked. They kissed and then spent the night together.
9 Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland, The Man with the Golden Gun)
Goodnight wasn't an evil spy trying to outwit Bond and she wasn't a member of the KGB. She was his assistant and secretary. Goodnight assists Bond finding a woman named Miss Anders (girlfriend of a hitman). There is a lot of sexual tension between Bond and Goodnight and even a scene where she is put inside a closet while Bond makes sweet love to Miss Anders. Bond's reply to Goodnight was "You'll get your chance." Such a ladies man, that Mr. Bond. He was right though because after he saves Goodnight (who is kidnapped by the hitman) she finally gets her boss to herself, leaving China in a boat.
8 Tiffany Case (Jill St. John, Diamonds Are Forever)
Case is the perfect name for a diamond smuggler and this story is all about diamond smugglers. Not only are there diamond thieves, there are also impersonations (by Bond) and allegiances amongst a pipeline of diamond smugglers. There is a lot of back and forth and wrong people murdered, but that works out just fine for Case and Bond who team up to recover the missing diamonds. Once the mission is completed they take a cruise together (of course they do), but the romantic getaway is interrupted when someone tries to kill them. Bond takes care of it and goes back to his love making with Case.
7 Patricia Fearing (Molly Peters, Thunderball)
What a great introduction: Fearing was a nurse at a clinic where Bond was sent because he had drank too many martinis. She is responsible for Bond and is supposed to protect him from the outside world (and presumably, more martinis), but almost allows him to get murdered under her watch. Luckily she saves Bond and although she had refused Bond up to that point it seemed like a good time to take him to the steam room. They undress and have sex. Bond spends the night so they can get rested for the next day. The agenda for the following day includes massages with mink gloves.
6 Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh, Tomorrow Never Dies)
Lin was a martial arts expert and spy in China. Disguised as a news reporter, Lin is on a mission to get details on a potential war between China and the United Kingdom. Bond is also there, trying to investigate missing materials linked to a media mogul (also linked to potential war). Bond immediately likes Lin despite her refusal of his advances. The media mogul invites both onto his boat that is armed with missiles expected to start a war. Lin and Bond work together, with Lin distracting the mogul while Bond disables the missiles and saves the world. They escape just in time as the ship explodes and then they have sex.
5 Camille Montes (Olga Kurylenko, Quantum of Solace)
Montes is Russian seeking revenge on a General that murdered her parents (after raping her mother) and burned down their house. In Haiti, Montes meets Bond and eventually (Bond Girls always clash initially with Mr. Bond) the two team up to take on the General. Montes does get her revenge, there is even a fire in the building to bring make this "full circle" revenge. Obviously this does two things to Bond. First, he has a lot of respect and is happy to be of assistance. Secondly, all of that revenge made him hot, burning for Montes. That night they spend together.
4 Domino Derval (Claudine Augur, Thunderball)
One of the more exciting Bond Girls, Derval is initially rescued by Bond after her foot gets caught in the Ocean. There are several twisted plots that involve kidnapping, murder and nuclear holocaust. They are both involved, but it's Bond that convinces Derval to team up with him by explaining that the bad guy is not only planning a nuclear holocaust, but also killed her brother. This was smart because Derval saves Bond's life on a boat. Bond has a gun pointed at his head when Derval shoots a harpoon into the bad guy. They are rescued by the CIA and carried off together by a sky hook.
3 Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton, Goldfinger)
Masterson was the hot Bond Girl helping Goldfinger cheat at a card game (with binoculars and radio). Bond realized this and quickly turned her to his side, the two of them humiliating Goldfinger in the process. Bond and Masterson then have sex and spend the next day drinking champagne. It appears it is going to be another night of lovemaking so Bond goes to get another bottle. The next thing he knows, he's waking up and Masterson has been murdered, is laid out on the bed and is painted in gold. Obviously this was the work of Goldfinger and obviously Bond would seek his revenge.
2 Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman, Goldfinger)
Galore was the first leading Bond Girl to be an evil villain (at least initially). Galore is Goldfinger's air pilot for "Pussy Galore's Flying Circus." Goldfinger plans to use the plane (with Galore as the pilot) to distribute nerve gas and allow his crew to break into a gold depository, steal the gold, oh, and there's a nuclear weapon he wants to detonate; a busy day to say the least. Bond persuades Galore to switch sides, join Bond and not execute the nerve gas plan. She agrees, ruining Goldfinger's big plans. This doesn't sit well with Goldfinger who then tries to murder Galore. Bond foils his attempt and saves Galore.
1 Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress, Dr. No)
Ryder was the original Bond girl. The most memorable scene for maybe any Bond girl is Ryder coming out of the water in her bikini with a knife in hand. Fans loved the sexiness mixed with danger, making this the blueprint (and high bar) for future Bond girls. Dr. No has a few evil plots and takes away Ryder. Bond stops the evil plots (by killing Dr. No) and then he rescues Ryder. They leave on a boat and just "take off" into the ocean. When they run out of gas they start kissing. It's not hard to figure out what happens after that.

This weeks article is going to cover everything involving Colorado and payday loan debt.
We will take a look at the current payday loan laws, how these loans work and how to deal with these companies safely without ending up in a payday loan trap!
[Click here to see how we eliminate payday loan debt in Colorado or any other state!]
Colorado Payday Loan Laws
Both storefront and online payday loans are legal in Colorado and are strictly regulated.
The maximum amount of money you can borrow is $500.00 and this must be for a minimum of 6 months in length. These loans have no maximum length limits and you may take out back to back or multiple payday loans but the total amount at any given time is $500.00.
The interest charged for the loan would be 20% of the first $300.00 of the loan with a $7.50 charge per $100.00 above current interest rates borrowed for the amounts above $300.00
You may roll over (extend) your loan and the interest charge for doing this is set at 45% of the loan which can get extremely expensive in a relatively short period of time, especially when dealing with multiple loans.
How these companies can collect is limited to very strict practices.
If a borrower should default on their payday loan or loans the company cannot take a borrower to court and sue them for the monies owed, nor can they garnish any wages as long as the borrower has not closed their checking account while the loan is active.
If the borrower has closed the account before the monies owed are satisfied the lender then may go ahead and pursue legal recourse including any and all legal bills acquired in the proceedings.
Beware of the online sharks!
Even with strict lending laws many online payday loan companies will completely disregard any state laws and go for your jugular so to speak by charging you outrageous interest charges and ask for direct access to your checking accounts which can lead to repeated withdrawals from your account.
Before venturing into any agreements online it is best to read our article Payday Loans Online
This article will bring you up to speed on how online loans work and what to watch out for when using these types of companies online.
It is our opinion that these loans can be used safely if you pay them off in full on the first due date, never extend them and stay away from the online companies
We hope this article helps you understand how payday loans work in Colorado and what to do if you find yourself in trouble with payday loan debt.
As always, we want to hear from you!
If you have a question or comment please leave it below in the comments section and we will promptly address it!

My work is constantly evolving which is evident in the variety of subject matter and painting styles throughout the years. What stays consistent is my passion for color and bold, minimal composition. This is most obvious in my photographic imagery. Photography has always been a vehicle for inspiration and experimentation and is the usual resource for my paintings. Being able to capture a place, or moment in time and transfer that to a 2-Dimensional surface is what I'm is called to do artistically. Recently, contemporary impressionism of popular street scenes, inspired by pop culture, Instagram, photo apps and such, are the subject of my new popular series. They are a little bit of Vintage with a Pop Culture Twist. I am proud to have much of my work in private collections and look forward to a larger internet presence and getting art to enhance the spaces of many by offering good, original art at affordable prices. My work will be featured at Ground Floor Farm in November, 2015 and during Art Miami week.

Courtney Love has launched a new clothing line inspired by her memoir, Dirty Blonde: The Diaries Of Courtney Love.
The Hole frontwoman released the book in 2006. It contained diary entries, letters, photos, poetry, collages, posters for shows, and more.
Now, Love has teamed up with designer label Midnight Studios to create a capsule collection that features some of those items emblazoned onto them. The line features a range of shirts, jumpers, trousers, and bags.
The collection will be exclusively available at Hypebeast's HYPEFEST, which takes place in Brooklyn this weekend (October 6-7). You can see some of the items that will be up for sale below.
Love will be the subject of a special tribute concert held at upstate New York art venue Basilica Hudson later this month (October 27). The event will be directed by her former Hole bandmate Melissa Auf der Maur and artist Joe Mama-Nitzberg and will feature appearances from the likes of Michael Stipe, Chloë Sevigny, the National's Aaron Dessner, Ryan McGinley, Yelena Yemchuk and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Auf der Maur recently explained why she wanted to pay tribute to Love with the show. "Honestly, the event that we're honouring Courtney with, Pioneering People, we did it once with John Waters, once with Rufus Wainwright," she said. "Earlier this year I realised it's gotta be a woman. So it occurred to me, well, Courtney's a pioneer. And Courtney deserves a creative bouquet of honouring.
"She's one of the most misunderstood, wild card, strange individuals, and Hole's legacy is important to me, as far as it being looked at with the respect it deserves and the impact it made. The impact is very real. The #MeToo moments, Courtney was always saying this stuff."
Meanwhile, Love has confirmed she is working on a new memoir and a new album, which she's promised will be "beat-heavy". Asked what the record would sound like, Love said that it would be rock but with 'beats', adding "like Lana has beats. And Lorde has beats."

A TEACHER forced to retire early with stress after being bullied by her headmistress has won more than £86,000 in damages and legal costs in what her union said was the first case of its kind.
Margaret Menzies, 58, who now lives in New Zealand, went on sick leave from her post at Chalgrove Primary School in Barnet, north London in January 2001 and was granted early retirement on health grounds the following September.
She said the four years of bullying she endured at the hands of Valerie Hughes, who resigned in July 2001, had left her incapable of setting foot inside a school since then.
The National Union of Teachers, which backed her fight for compensation, said the verdict in her favour and the £86,487 payout sent a clear message to heads that bullying their staff would not be tolerated.
Ms Menzies started work at the school in 1988 when it was considered a successful, happy place.
Two years after Mrs Hughes arrived, Barnet's senior primary schools inspector David Burns believed the school was "at risk" and by 2000 it had become a "cause for concern" because of the poor relationships.
One teacher told him the school was "in disarray" and staff were "extremely tense and frightened and that Margaret Menzies was the main focus of this behaviour".
On one occasion in November 2000, Mrs Hughes even refused her permission for a day off to have a scan at hospital, even though she was required to drink three pints of water before her appointment.

Okay, I'll admit right off the bat that today's blog post is a bunch of blathering. In case you haven't noticed, a lot (if not most) of these are just my own internal dialogues. Then again, why shouldn't they be? Isn't a blog the modern day journal?
Yes, sometimes I try to pass along useful info, but sometimes I just need a sounding board or place to vent or maybe just a place to compose my thoughts.
I think most of us have seen variations of this booth neighbor. All in good fun. Enjoy.
[I did not create this video...merely sharing it.]
The benefits of buying handmade and particularly buying directly from the artist are many.
Buying directly from the artist, you can have all your questions answered by the exact person who made or is making your jewelry. The person with the knowledge of the materials and techniques used, the proper wear and care for this piece, and the person to turn to for special requests or if problems arise.
Customer service and support is unparalleled when the only two people involved are the customer and the creator of the jewelry.
Sometimes it can feel like an uphill battle when you go to a show and every other booth is selling mass-produced imports that to the untrained eye may LOOK like a good deal, but we all know the difference between value and bargain, right?
So what can you do?
Keep moving, forward if possible.
Ask yourself, "What can I do that they can't?"
If someone's already making something that you'd like to make, but they're making it faster and cheaper than you ever could, think about letting it go and moving on to the next idea.
This is a revision of an old blog post that used to be called "Preparing for a Better Me", but I think I'm changing it to "Preparing for a Happier Me".
I posted something on Facebook once for people who tend to over commit.
The Collective Consciousness of Jewelry Making
You know what's worse than discovering someone out there is selling jewelry almost identical to yours? Finding out they've been doing it longer than you.
Just goes to show that more than one person can come up with the same idea.
Sometimes people think in similar ways. It just happens.
The following is a debatable thought and personally, I see both sides of the issue. While I tend to lean more toward the "encouraging rather than discouraging" side of the fence, I enjoy things that make me think so I'm sharing it with you all.
A Week Of Activities To Break Creative Block
If you don't feel creative today, sort your beads, clean your workshop, or rearrange your books.
Can you imagine going up to a jewelry booth at a show and saying to the artist, "You work really sucks. These people around you are so much better than you. You shouldn't even be here."
Pretty shocking, right? I mean, even if you THINK it, you'd never SAY it.
But some people do say it… to themselves… on a daily basis.
It breaks my heart.
I was working on a piece of jewelry yesterday and noticed that the metal curved a bit. My intention was for it to be straight. We're talking about a curve of maybe ½ a millimeter. But do you know where my brain went immediately?
"Okay, here's one for the garbage pile."

Looking Ahead and Dreaming
I am looking forward to our class at Callaway where Carole Lake and I are teaching the Queen. I hope we have a rousing good class for it is my final 'travel and teach' job at a seminar. Yes, after Callaway in January I am retiring from 'face to face' classes and turning to the internet.
I am a great believer that fantasy is the first component of creativity, and in the last couple of years I have found in the computer all sorts of fantastic opportunities for fantasy. I want to pursue them! I look forward to staying home with DH and MacSoph (my computer); I look forward to lots more classes at the Apple store and lots more ideas for my website.
Yes, I will miss seeing people face to face, but the computer has some great advantages. Face-to-face classes last 2 or 3 or 4 days; cyber-classes last for months. The months allow time to try a technique, think about a color, ask a question, solve a problem. Maybe, on down the line, there will be a way to combine the two. Who knows.
So here's to time to dream and see what I can do, both with needle and with computer, and hopefully a combination of the two.
Here's to more PhotoShop, some Illustrator and maybe some Flash. Here's to a magic gate, a poem, a castle and an alternative world.
I can't wait!

Go for your dreams girl; I suspect you always have. Life is not static, things change and we all should be so lucky to change when they do. I think this is a very positive choice all around. It's time to enjoy that beautiful view out your window.
- Plays with Needles said...
To be honest, I'm thrilled. I've been a stitcher wanting to take a class from you for years. I'm in the Constellation Chapter in Maryland and friend with Leslie Carson. I usually can't afford the time away or the money at this point in my life to go to seminar or Callaway. Not having the added expense of air fare and hotels will make your class affordable to me. I have taken many many internet classes and I LOVE them. I'm SO happy to see that you'll be teaching here.
P.S. I mentioned your work in a post today. Please let me know if there is anything you would like me to change.
P.P.S. I noticed you're teaching Elizabeth to the San Bernardino chapter? And they allow ghosts? I'm not sure what a ghost is, but I would love to be one for that class. Who should I contact? Thanks again. Susan

Powerball Vs. Spread Betting | Lotto Checker
The main purpose of my service / your subscription with me is #1. for you to make / make more money #2. make you a better investor by doing more things right and less things wrong….so I thought debunking the lottery today was relevant with the Powerball reaching some insane highs.
A number of months ago, I debunked a fallacy in betting in which the parlay bet was being demonized by many, even sharp, gamblers…especially sharp bettors. I pointed out that the three team parlay offers better return than true odds (that is, the house actually eats a slight vig read past emails). Two teamers are a solid deal, but for 4+ teamers, the gap between true value and actual widens negatively and exponentially. The lottery is even worse and there is a similarity:
*As the odds of winning and VALUE go down, the more people want to make the bet (and yes, buying a lotto ticket is a "bet" although technically it should be considered something else). Last year Americans spent a total of $70.15 billion on lottery tickets, according to the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries.
As always, my statements aren't opinions of mine; they're facts. I've never bought a lotto or powerball ticket and I 99.9% likely never will. Why?
The odds. Read them and weep: http://campbellwealth.com/three-reasons-not-to-buy-a-lottery-ticket/
Lotto tickets being a fool bet probably isn't anything new to anyone (I hope); so why bring it up? Not to insult anyone's intelligence clearly; as I assume you've all heard these things.
My point is that this comes down to a discipline thing:
The Question: Is it okay to buy a lotto since it only costs a dollar or five or ten and there isn't much to lose?
My answer: absolutely not. My guess is that if 90%+ of frequent lotto ticket buyers were presented with the proposition: will the earth turn on its axis fully in the next 48 hours? $1000 to win a ten cents — most wouldn't take the bet; they'll take the bet though where there is a better chance of being struck by lightning for a dollar. I'd take that bet any day of the week.
Fine. Why is it such a big issue?
Buying a lotto ticket with that mindset ("oh come on, it is just a dollar") is like selling your financial soul. I'm all about not setting bad precedents; maybe you know how it goes: you break a 20 dollar bill and have some singles and buy a sucker that isn't worth a penny. "Just this once" — These little fool purchases are so easily forgotten until they all add up and even then, it is hard to put your finger on what it was exactly that ate away your bank account.
Anyways, so much for New Years resolutions….never too late to change. At a minimum, by lotto tickets privately — if you have kids and want them to respect you, don't indulge your guilty pleasure in front of them.

South Australian households may now be paying the world's highest prices for electricity as the latest increases hit.
That's the assessment of Bruce Mountain, from economics consultancy group CME, who says SA overtakes Denmark on Saturday when electricity retailers levy most households with an average rise of 18 per cent.
He told ABC radio this week his conclusions are based on comparing a representative household in South Australia with a similar household in Denmark, which was previously known to be the most costly electricity market.
But South Australian Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis has rejected the claim.
"There's no evidence to support Mr Mountain's claims. None," Mr Koutsantonis said.
The treasurer said forward prices for electricity in SA were nearly equal to those in NSW, Queensland and Victoria.
"Prices in Australia are too high, no doubt about it. But they're not the highest in the world," he said.
Regardless of who is right, both agree the market is not currently acting in the interests of consumers.
South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill says the state government's $500 million energy plan will put downward pressure on prices as extra generation and battery storage enters the market.

Verse of the Day:
"My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge."
~ Psalm 62:7
Quote of the Day:
"The two most important days in your life: The day you were born, and the day you find out why ."
~Mark Twain
Excerpt of the Day:
"It's an important question because to truly be able to love God and love others, to move with God to rescue, restore, and redeem humanity, we have got to know who we are.
Who do you think you are?
I've started to answer that question with one imperfect phrase: I am a beloved warrior.
I'm a pacifist so my definition of warrior is a bit more spiritual, perhaps. I see it as an advocate or a peace maker or a shalom prophet, a warrior living into the Kingdom of God, a worshipper, a disciple – courageous and unafraid.
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
We are worthy of a rescue, worth saving, worth loving. We are the one sheep in the ninety-nine worth leaving everything behind to rescue. We are redeemed. We are whole.
Loved. You are loved. You are loved. You can engage in your life from a place of love because you are.
We believe that we're only worthy of love if… if we do this or if we do that. That's what our culture or our broken world tells us, right?
But Jesus does not love us conditionally."
~ "In which you are a Beloved Warrior" by Sarah Bessey
Seriously one of my favorite authors right now.

Co-worker relationships and organisational misfit
Permanent Linkhttp://hdl.handle.net/10092/4988
Employees perform better, are healthier, happier, and stay longer in environments in which they fit (Kristof-Brown, Zimmerman, & Johnson, 2005). In line with this, organizations wish to improve fit, and research has typically assessed the influence of organizational recruitment and socialization processes in achieving increases in fit (Chatman, 1991; Cooper-Thomas, Van Vianen, & Anderson, 2004; Kim, Cable, & Kim, 2005). While the literature on fit as a positive and sought-after outcome has burgeoned, misfit has been relatively neglected. Specifically, little research has investigated how people develop and maintain perceptions of not fitting in. In this chapter, we explore this gap and, in particular, investigate the relationship between co-worker relations and person-organization misfit.

text: Best Bets for Great Lakes Fishing Mike Gnatkowski - May 31, 2012 Jim Balzer of Howell caught this plump walleye, fairly typical of those caught in June, while fishing a spoon off a downrigger. Photo by Mike Gnatkowski. Michigan anglers who like to troll can't wait for summer. Things start to warm up then. Weather patterns are more stable and fishing more predictable. About the only hard part is deciding what kind of fish you want to catch. If you have a trailerable boat, you've got plenty of options.June signals the beginning some of the best walleye fishing of the year. Walleyes begin schooling in shallow, open basins of the Great Lakes where trolling is the most practical and productive way to fish for them. Thermoclines begin to form, which help to concentrate Great Lakes salmon schools and kicks their metabolisms into high gear. Currents and upwellings in the northern part of Lake Michigan beckon steelhead from all over the lake in June.Thermal barriers and scum lines cause lake-run rainbows to gather within a fathom of the surface over the deepest water found in the lake. Lake Superior's best lake trout fishing takes place in June and into the summer months. Cool water has lakers still concentrated in relatively shallow water in June. Anglers willing to trailer their boat to the northern parts of Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior will find great fishing for native trout and a hodgepodge of other species. The hardest thing for June trollers to decide on is where to go. There are some tough choices to be made concerning the fishing for trout, salmon and/or walleyes. Here's a list of destinations that might just help make that decision a little easier. LAKE ERIE WALLEYESPost-spawn walleyes dropping down out of the Raisin, Maumee, Detroit and Sandusky rivers begin to fan out in the shallows of Lake Erie in June. Spring run-off has ended, the lake is clearing and the tepid waters are filled with baitfish. Ravenous schools of walleyes can be found from LaPlaisance Bay and Woodtick Peninsula throughout Brest Bay and off Stony Point. There's no need to go too far because you'll find plenty of walleyes in the 12- to 18-foot depths well into July during a cool year."A really good spot is off Stony Point, the Bell Buoy and the Banana Dike," offered Howell angler Jim Balzer. "You've got to watch the wind and set up your troll accordingly, but once you hit on a troll it's pretty easy to take a limit in a couple of hours." Target 15 to 18 feet of water. Most of the walleyes in the Michigan waters of Lake Erie will range from 15 to 20 inches, but there are still some trophy fish to be had in June when the walleyes begin a steady migration to the east. Wise anglers have an Ohio fishing license in their pockets too, as some of the better fishing takes place just on the other side of the Ohio state line, and there's no line on the water to delineate when you're in one state or the other.Walleyes can be caught in June by drifting, jigging or casting, but trolling allows anglers to cover more water, to cover more depths, and to stay on roaming schools. Crankbaits and spoons are popular with Lake Erie trollers with the walleyes preferring some gaudy, bizarre colors most days. It might be because of the water clarity or it might be that the gaudy-colored lures just look like something out of the ordinary.Balzer advised anglers to bring along some crawlers, just in case. On days when the fish are fussy, Balzer said that real meat can be counted on to produce a limit. You'll tend to catch more of the non-targeted species with nightcrawlers, but you're also likely to catch some of the bigger walleyes on meat. Balzer runs brightly colored crawler harnesses off Church Tackle in-line boards and adds weight ahead of the harnesses to get them deep. "Watch your graph for signs of suspended walleyes and then position your baits just above them," he advised. "Once you catch a few fish, a pattern will become evident."Balzer added that a little spring rain that dirties the water slightly can produce great fishing.Anglers have a variety of option for launching on Lake Erie. Launch sites are available at Luna Pier, Otter Creek, Bolles Harbor, Sterling State Park, at Detroit Beach and in the Raisin River. For bait, tackle and fishing reports contact Jeff's Bait & Tackle at (734) 289-4901, or Bottomline Bait & Tackle, (734) 379-9762.SAGINAW BAY WALLEYESThere may not be a hotter walleye fishery in the country right now than Saginaw Bay. The bay is chock-full of walleyes; anglers who know how to troll can take easy limits during the early summer months."The hot trolling bite really starts in June," claimed Charter Captain Jeff Godi, who fishes out of Linwood Beach Marina and Campground. "The walleyes really start to school up and it's really pretty easy fishing. Last year, there were tons of 14- to 17-inch fish. This year, those fish should be 16 to 20 inches so the fishing should be even better."Capt. Godi said that trolling is a go-to tactic whenever you're fishing Saginaw Bay, but what you're pulling changes throughout the season."In June, we use a lot of spoons and crawler harnesses and troll fairly slow," said Godi. "But as a water warms up, we'll kick up our trolling speed and use more crankbaits. We can cover more water that way, and the fish seem to prefer the more animated action of a crankbait then."Godi said that the chances for trophy fish are better in June on Saginaw Bay, but the fishing remains good right through July most years.Last year, Sue Tabor and I had the opportunity to join Godi on Saginaw Bay in late July during my Michigan Fishing Odyssey. One of the great things about fishing on Saginaw Bay for walleyes was that we didn't have to get out at the crack of dawn. The leisurely pace suited me just fine. Godi confided that it was a little after prime time on the bay as waters had warmed and the walleyes had begun migrating to deeper water, but there was still enough fish around to make things interesting.Godi idled out of the channel from Linwood Beach Marina and pointed it southeast toward the shipping channel where he had found schools of walleyes the day before. Once we reached 17 feet of water, Godi and I began setting lines. We let out 1/4-ounce Hot-n-Tots 50 to 75 feet behind in-line boards and added a couple of divers with small spoons. Before we had all the lines out, Godi's sharp eyes spotted one of the boards starting to trail back and quickly handed the rod to Sue.It was give-and-take for a little bit before Sue gained the upper hand and brought the walleye to net. "That was fun!" she exclaimed. "They're not as hard as trying to catch a salmon." Indeed, walleyes are tailor-made for female anglers and kids.Godi pointed the bow of his Sportcraft downwind and it was pretty much nonstop action for the next 2 hours. Many of the fish were small and under the 15-inch minimum size limit, which bodes well for Saginaw Bay's future, but there were enough 17- to 20-inch 'eyes to keep us busy. The wind started to kick; if you fish Saginaw Bay, you know it can blow up in a hurry. We decide to call it a day with a respectable box of fish.The wind was still huffing when we met Capt. Tim Bristol of Fish Heads Charters the next morning so we were glad to be in Tim's big, seaworthy SeaRay. We headed out to the same general area as the day before. The fishing was a little slower, but the fish we caught were a little bigger. As the waves built, we decided to head in with a one-man limit of walleyes.To schedule a walleye charter on Saginaw Bay, contact Captain Jeff Godi at (989) 686-7345, www.themichiganexperience.com or Captain Tim Bristol at Fish Heads Charters, (989) 165-9797 or online at firstname.lastname@example.com. Linwood Beach Marina and Campground at (989) 697-4415; www.LinwoodBeachMarina.com offers slips, camping and ready access to Saginaw Bay for anglers wanting to bring their own boats.ALPENA SMORGASBORDIf you want the most bang and variety for your trolling buck, a trip to Alpena should be in your cards. The waters of Thunder Bay and Lake Huron off Alpena offer the chance to catch walleyes, brown trout, lake trout and king and Atlantic salmon on the same trip. There are not too many other places you can do that."That's kind of my big thing now — variety," shared veteran charter skipper Ed Retherford. "I'm promoting the fact that we can catch several different species on the same trip, especially in June. Most of the time, we're fishing the same way, so it's just a matter of changing up the lures a little bit."Retherford said he generally uses smaller Silver Streak spoons for walleyes and small- to medium-sized spoons if trout are also in the mix. Body baits are also a go-to lure when targeting trout and immature salmon in late spring through early summer.Alpena was once hailed as the brown trout capital of Michigan, but that claim has since gone by the wayside. No one is sure why, but it might be due to a burgeoning walleye population and predation by cormorants."We still have a few browns around in June and early July," said Retherford. Added to the mix are Atlantic salmon from plants made by Lake Superior State University via their aquaculture program and increasing numbers of Chinook salmon. Walleyes now are almost a given catch on virtually any trip.Retherford said that visiting anglers would be wise to target the area around the Nordmere Wreck, North Point north to Presque Isle in 25 to 60 feet of water for smorgasbord catches. Anglers can make good catches of 'eyes right in Thunder Bay from ice-out well into the summer.In June, Retherford advised working between Sulphur and Scarecrow islands in 5 to 20 feet or water for 5- to 10-pound walleyes. Once a night bite, Retherford said, since the alewives have disappeared anglers have figured out how to catch walleyes during the daylight hours on Thunder Bay.For information on lodging, boat slips and bait and tackle shops in the area, contact the Alpena Convention and Visitors Burea at www.alpenacvb.com.

Indiana Congressman Larry Bucshon, a Republican, held off a tough election challenge to retain his 8th District U.S. House seat.
With 88 percent of the votes counted late Tuesday, Bucshon, 50, a first-term representative from Newburgh, had received 130,415 votes, topping Democrat Dave Crooks, 48, of Washington, who had received 108,529. Libertarian candidate Bart Gadau, 36, was a distant third with 8,907 votes, about 4 percent of the vote.
Crooks conceded the race about 9:30 Tuesday night in a telephone call to Bucshon, the candidates said.
"It was a spirited campaign," said Bucshon, speaking to the Tribune-Star from the conference center at the Casino Aztar in Evansville. "Dave called … we had a nice conversation. I'm just honored and privileged to be able to do this."
Crooks, speaking from the Moose Lodge in Washington, said he had no regrets about his first congressional campaign.
"There's really nothing I would do differently. We ran a really good race," Crooks said in a telephone interview.
Bucshon is the first representative of Indiana's 8th District to win a second term since former Democrat Rep. Brad Ellsworth, who chose not to run in 2010 to seek a U.S. Senate seat. Ellsworth lost that bid to Dan Coats, a Republican.
Looking to the future, Bucshon said Republicans will come back to the U.S. House with "a lot of momentum." But, he added, he will work with anyone to help "move the country forward."
"No matter who's elected president, no matter who controls the Senate, the American people want us to find common ground and move this country forward. That's what my goal will be."
Crooks said he had no interest in seeking elective office again at this time. "I'm not a career politician, I'm a small businessman." Crooks also said he believed Super PAC money made a difference in the final few weeks of the race.
The Bucshon-Crooks race was one of the closest-watched in the state; however, political forecasters, such as TheHill.com, gave Bucshon an edge in the 8th District.
Despite his loss, Crooks benefited from one of the best organized campaigns the 8th District has ever seen, he said in a Tribune-Star interview during the final weekend of the campaign. He campaigned right up until Tuesday afternoon.
Bucshon campaigned in Terre Haute on Election Day before heading to Vincennes and then Evansville, where he ended the night.
In his campaign, Bucshon has said he favors repealing "Obamacare," wants to find ways to reduce federal spending, and favors more competition to reduce Medicare costs.
The 2012 race for Indiana's 8th District was hard-fought, with each candidate raising hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Course Overview
Based on the original Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course the MBCr Course utilises Jon Kabat-Zinn's Attitudinal Foundations of mindfulness (also known as the 7 Pillars of mindfulness) as a structure. We explore what having more curiosity than fear in our lives could look like, feel like and ultimately mean. The two elements of mindfulness and creativity knit together extremely well as both can be addressed from a standpoint of curiosity being greater than fear*, or recognising the fear but not being overwhelmed by it. For many people fear can be crippling or overwhelming, and stops them from exploring new avenues or interests. If we can consider that fear may sometimes be False Evidence Appearing Real (Neale Donald Walsch) we can acknowledge its presence as a natural function of the mind, but not allow it to restrict our choices.
Course Structure
Duration: 8 weeks, 1 session per week of 2.5 hours.
Group size: min 6 to max 12
Individual commitment to meditation practice: 20 to 40 minutes per day is recommended for long-term benefit
Week 1: Beginner's Mind
Week 2: Non-judging
Week 3: Acceptance
Week 4: Patience
Week 5: Trust
Week 6: Letting Go
Week 7: Non-striving
Week 8: Beginner's Mind
Led by experienced facilitators in a structured format, each session covers particular drawing and writing exercises that are examined within the context of mindfulness.
These include different forms of mindfulness meditation practice and mindful awareness and are designed to guide you through in establishing (or deepening) a meditation practice, thereby allowing mindfulness to become part of your day-to-day life.
Course Facilitators
Please note that this course is run by two of our associates, Dr Lauri Bower Ph.D. and Clare Belbin-Carlile, and you will be redirected to their website for course dates and booking information. Their courses may vary from the structure above so please contact them directly for further information.

Who Can Attend?
This course is ideal both for those wishing to prioritise their wellbeing and those who wish to adopt a complementary approach to managing a wide range of physical, emotional and mental health concerns.
- If you already have a creative pursuit and would like to bring more mindfulness to it
- If the 'C' word (creativity) terrifies you
- If your practice of mindfulness would be enhanced by developing your creative side
Our courses are:
- suitable for beginners as well as those wishing to refresh their mindfulness practice
- open to all adults (minimum age 18 yrs, no maximum – our oldest participant to date has been 84 and he completed the course twice)
- ideal for people who see their health and personal growth as their own responsibility and who like to learn from their experiences, rather than looking for a quick fix.
Mindfulness is a skill which takes both time and personal commitment to be learned. Whilst participants may well experience a change in 'state' as a result of ad-hoc meditations, the researched benefits of mindfulness come from the regular practice of mindfulness meditation and the possibility of changes in 'trait'*. If you are interested in learning mindfulness we therefore ask that you read the 'Commitment Required' section of the course booking page.
Is There Anything Else I Should Be Aware Of?
Yes, mindfulness is often both more challenging and more rewarding than people imagine. It is not unusual for people to attend mindfulness courses during periods of change and/or difficulty in their lives with many often experiencing significant benefits as a result. There are however times when attending a group mindfulness course might not be beneficial. We would ask that you read the terms and conditions of the course carefully before booking. If you have any concerns or questions please contact Lauri on email@example.com
