One of our Sisters took it upon herself to describe the care we give. We think it perfectly describes our Home's ethos. She wrote:
"In appreciation of our recent achievement of Beacon Status in End of Life Care, I felt moved to try and summarise what we do here at Donnington House.
The context in which we deliver care is based on the premise that laughter is a medicine………perhaps the very best medicine.
We enable the people here to feel at home and for some it may be their last home on earth. We achieve this, I feel, by promoting a relaxed environment that allows everyone, staff included, to feel that they matter.
One way we do this is by promoting a sense of community in the dining area; this may be lively at time but it is appropriate to, and in, fostering a mutually supportive, loving atmosphere that promotes inclusion."

"Rescheduling is necessary to maximise time following the conclusion of independent disputes committee review of matters relating to the 2017-18 Rugby Europe Championship, a competition run by Rugby Europe that doubles as Rugby World Cup 2019 qualification", the statement reads.
World Rugby said in a press release that in line with the decision of an independent disputes committee, "Russia will qualify for Rugby World Cup 2019 as Europe 1, joining Ireland, Scotland, Japan and the playoff victor in Pool A, while Germany will progress to the European playoff with Portugal, subject to the appeals process".
An investigation was launched in March after Romania qualified for the quadrennial event by virtue of a controversial victory for Belgium over Spain.
But instead of vilifying the Spaniards, the committee revealed that Spain, Belgium and Romania had all fielded ineligible players during qualifying matches for the World Cup.
This year's Rugby Europe Championship was won by Georgia, who had already secured their place at the finals in Japan due to their third-place finish in the Pool phase of the 2015 tournament.
Belgium and Spain were also penalised for using ineligible players, with the three nations docked five match points for each player used that shouldn't have been.
In Romania's case, the review found that Sione Faka'osilea played in eight matches - including six that counted towards qualification for the World Cup - despite having represented Tonga.

Asked about when ministers would decide, Clark said: "There's a sub-committee of the cabinet that is looking at these things". Ministers backed the decision to draft the document at the weekly Cabinet meeting in Downing Street yesterday morning.
"The rescheduled dates will enable the least-possible disruption for Samoa's European and Southern Hemisphere based players, who will be released under Regulation 9, which covers all Rugby World Cup qualifiers".
The committee ruled that "that each team be deducted five championship points for each game in which an ineligible player or players participated".
In reference to the entire investigation, the committee added: "Although mistakes were made by Rugby Europe and participating unions, they had not acted in bad faith".
A 14-day appeal window is now open if those involved to challenge the ruling.
As a result, Belgium were fined 125,000 pounds, suspended for a period of five years conditional that no breaches occur during that period.

As in any other major industry, problem solving in modern medicine increasingly requires a true convergence of many scientific and engineering fields. While some of the last frontiers of biomedicine, such as neuroscience and regenerative medicine, critically demands new ideas and tools from other disciplines, paradigm-shifting technological innovations in information science, nanotechnology, and robotics could open new opportunities in healthcare. At the same time, a new generation of engineers, "fluent" in many different languages of science, are creating entirely new fields to view the old questions with a fresh look. In the CNV symposium, we strive to provide a stimulating forum for all researchers willing to go beyond the "comfort zone" to explore new opportunities in biomedical engineering.

Think Twice Before You Pay For Essay Writing Services
- custom essays are quite cheap (though this fact should alert you, and soon you will find out why it is so);
- custom essays are well-structured and professionally written (very often, they are written by college professors themselves. Why do they do so? Keep reading to understand);
- custom essays can't be detected by plagiarism checkers, because they are not plagiarized actually though they were not written by students themselves;
- custom essays may help you understand the nature of a good paper and write a high-quality essay by your own afterward;
The dangers of buying essays online
- knowing your knowledge and writing style, it will be very easy for your professor to understand that it was not you who has written a new essay. If your previous works were not as good as a new one, your professor will definitely suspect something wrong here; yes, your new work is in a different league now. But how did it happen? Have you suddenly become a guru of essay writing? A good professor will hardly believe that.
Why pay people to write essays
- when you order an essay, you can't check the professional skills of your ghostwriter. All of them will definitely say that they are professionals and they perfectly know what they do. All of them will say they are native speakers and they guarantee a high quality of the work they do. But how can you make sure that your money will not be spent on anything unworthy?

Princess & the Pea Giveaway – Ohdeedoh
December 12, 2008
Greetings, everyone. Our friends over at Ohdeedoh (the junior-centric arm of the popular Apartment Therapy blog) are busy spreading some serious holiday cheer to their readers. They are giving away a whole range of beautiful, useful gifts all month long, including unique and hard-to-find children's items. Quiet Hours participated in last year's giveaway, so we're quite flattered to have been asked back a second time. This year we are offering a Maileg Princess & the Pea set ($95 value) that is in need of a good home. Even better, we saved up a set that includes the lovely blue princess doll that is proving so elusive to Maileg fans these days. Head on over, check out the pieces on offer, and enter for a chance to receive this treat of a toy on your doorstep before the holidays.
Help Save Handmade Toys in the U.S.
December 9, 2008
Quiet Hours is not a political forum, but I am forwarding you the texts of two very important e-mails I recently received regarding the future of handmade toys and children's wares in the U.S. The first comes from our friends at the Handmade Toy Alliance; the second is from an importer working in the natural and handmade toys industry.
There is much here to read but I urge you to do so. Quiet Hours and other "niche" retailers were established in order to provide distinctive handmade goods to families seeking an alternative to mass-produced plastic items. We take great pride in not only providing safe toys but supporting individual craftspeople, international fair trade co-operatives, and small companies keeping the tradition of hand-workmanship and craft alive. We have also been thrilled to witness a resurgence in small-scale natural toy manufacturing and crafting in the U.S.
Our ability to support such makers, as well as families' access to their products, will be severely hampered (or eliminated altogether) unless modifications to the current Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) are made.
Read on for more details and ways you can act to keep a rich diversity of handcrafted children's items available in the U.S.
Help Save Handmade Toys
In 2007, large toy manufacturers who outsource their production to China and other developing countries violated the public's trust. They were selling toys with dangerously high lead content, toys with unsafe small part, toys with improperly secured and easily swallowed small magnets, and toys made from chemicals that made kids sick.
All of these changes will be fairly easy for large, multinational toy manufacturers to comply with. Large manufacturers who make thousands of units of each toy have very little incremental cost to pay for testing and update their molds to include batch labels.
For small American, Canadian, and European toymakers, however, the costs of mandatroy testing will likely drive them out of business.
- A toymaker, for example, who makes wooden cars in his garage in Maine to supplement his income cannot afford the $4,000 fee per toy that testing labs are charging to assure compliance with the CPSIA.
- A work-at-home mom in Minnesota who makes dolls to sell at craft fairs must choose either to violate the law or cease operations.
- A small toy retailer in Vermont who imports wooden toys from Europe, which has long had stringent toy safety standards, must now pay for testing on every toy they import.
- And even the handful of larger toy makers who still employ workers in the United States face increased costs to comply with the CPSIA, even though American-made toys had nothing to do with the toy safety problems of 2007.
The CPSIA simply forgot to exclude the class of toys that have earned and kept the public's trust: Toys made in the US, Canada, and Europe. The result, unless the law is modified, is that handmade toys will no longer be legal in the US. Hand-crafters won't be the only ones impacted by the CPSIA. Anyone who produces or sells any of the following new or used items will be required to comply with the law: toys, books, clothing, art, music, educational supplies, materials for the learning disabled, bicycles, and more. Any uncertified item intended for children under the age of 12, will be considered contraband after February 10, 2009. It will be illegal to sell or give these items away to charities, and the government will require their destruction, or permanent disposal.
If this law had been applied to the food industry, every farmers market in the country would be forced to close while Kraft and Dole prospered.
You can read our Proposal to Improve the CPSIA here.
How You can Help:
Please write to your United States Congress Person and Senator to request changes in the CPSIA to save handmade toys. Use our sample letter or write your own. You can find your State Representative here and Senator here.
While we all applauded efforts by the federal government to tighten the safety standards for toys, we all got much more than we bargained for. The law that was passed extends to all products directed to children 12 years of age and younger, and includes such things as clothing & toys and much more, with very few exceptions or exemptions. That wouldn't be so bad, but there are a few requirements that, if left as is, will force most small businesses (and many medium & large sized businesses) out of business….including retailers, work-at-home moms and independent crafters making products for children. The Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection will hold a hearing on Wednesday, December 10, 2008, at 10:00 a.m. in room 2123 Rayburn House Office Building. The hearing is entitled "Implementation of the CPSIA: Urgent Questions about Application Dates, Testing and Certification, and Protecting Children." This is an oversight hearing examining implementation of Public Law 110-314 (H.R. 4040, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA)). Witnesses will be by invitation only.
The staff briefing for this hearing will be held on Monday, December 8, 2008, at 4:00 p.m. in room 2322 Rayburn House Office Building. 3.
1. Existing Inventory: The law states that any affected product that does not meet the new standard (with the exception of phthalates) cannot be sold from the shelves after February 10th. The problem is that the law includes many new items that have not been under a previous regulation, and have not been tested. To test these items now, on the retail or wholesale level is prohibitively expensive, and/or simply not possible. So it is very difficult to confirm compliance (although most items in most companies would be compliant), and at the same time, penalties for selling anything that doesn't meet the standard are very stiff.
4. Complexity: The law is extremely complex. Needlessly so. It is requiring companies to hire lawyers just to get a grasp of what is required of them. Also, the requirement of including certificates of compliance of each product shipped, with each product is overly burdensome. Electronic certificates has been approved, and will help, but even then there is a substantial cost to the additional administration—which does very little, if anything, to improve the safety of our toys.
5. Frequency of Testing: Experts are still trying to get a clear grasp of this. However, it is very possible that each batch must be tested/certified. This is fine for large companies running 10,000 or 100,000 pieces per batch. For small manufacturers, with small runs, it multiplies the enormous cost from point #2, even higher.
What this means is small, innovative companies that typically make niche products, will be forced out of business, or forced to narrow their product range and sell to the mass market. Product availability and selection will diminish. We will be primarily left with imported plastic toys from China. Yes, quite ironic isn't it.
URGENT Action:
What else can you do? Pass this on in your e-newsletters, in your stores, among your friends. There is much disinformation in the market, and it is up to us to warn consumers and colleagues of the pending disappearance of the natural & specialty toys we have come to rely on in the recent years.

Holzkram Update – 2008
November 4, 2008
For all of you who have waited so patiently for an update from Holzkram:
There have been several setbacks at this small firm this year, but they have been working hard to catch up on production and fulfill backorders. Unfortunately, the workload is so high that we will not be receiving enough pieces to meet our wait list requirements for this holiday. We will not be stocking any of the larger pieces, such as the Cottage, Farmhouse, Farmhouse with Stable or Castle, but will be getting a large shipment of the popular Little Houses in time for gift-giving. Currently, we expect enough Little Houses for everyone on the wait list plus additional pieces that will be available in the shop. If you are on the waiting list, you will receive an e-mail as soon as they arrive.
In the meantime, those of you who have your heart set on one of the larger pieces can visit our friends at The Wooden Wagon. They recently received a long-awaited shipment of items, and have a limited supply of all the large houses (and castle pieces) in stock. Or consider Ostheimer's beautiful farmhouse, which is currently in stock, or one of the new dollhouse styles we have on offer this year.
We hope to be back to regular shipment schedules with Holzkram in 2009. Thank you to all who have been hanging in there with us along the way! If you would like more information feel free to e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cool Mom's Safer Toy Guide 2008
November 2, 2008
I'm delighted to announce that not one, not two, but three of Quiet Hour's pieces have been featured in this year's edition of the Cool Mom Picks Safer Toy Guide. Editors Liz and Kristen see just about everything that is out there, and scour the web each year looking for holiday recommendations that are thoughtful, safe, well-crafted and never just the "same old thing".
This year, you'll find our hand-carved wooden play food, big wooden train and eco-friendly alder dollhouse from Poland on the list. Be sure to check out their baby section, which is particularly strong this year, as well as favorites from some of our friends around the web: the Riding Giraffe at Mahar Drygoods; Camden Rose's beautiful play kitchens at Palumba; Clementine Art's kits from Colorado, Craftsbury Kids, and a whole group of new businesses and shops.
It's blogs like Cool Moms that help many smaller boutique shops like Quiet Hours get our start. By spreading the word about our products and artists they introduce us to a whole new group of families that might not have known about us otherwise. For small businesses without big advertising budgets this is a real boon, and something for which we are all grateful. So, thank you, Liz and Kristen! And a big welcome to all of you who are discovering us for the first time through the Safer Toy Guide.
Moonchild Handwork Studio
August 23, 2008
Berrie Bowen has been a dollmaker since 1990. She began by making toys for her three daughters, but now that they've grown past the age of doll play she continues to craft exquisite Waldorf companions for children all over the world. And what dolls they are. I think of Berrie as a creative, mothering force of nature who pours incredible skill, love and attention into every piece that springs from her hands. On any given day she might be making babies, custom dolls, quilts, outfits and accessories, felt hats and crowns, lined Moses baskets or fabric houses for tiny Moondrop dolls. Her inventiveness is boundless, and as any fan of her work can attest: just when you think she's outdone herself, she'll come up with something delightful and completely unexpected.
She sent us some of her singular creations over the summer (babies, a gnome and moondrops), and we're eagerly anticipating a few more additions this fall. If you are looking for a truly special gift that will become a treasured and long-remembered favorite, a Moonchild doll would be second only to something you make yourself. They are handmade in the best tradition: with care in the choice of material (the best natural fibers, cotton and wool); selection of fabric and clothing detail (See the embroidered hat and coat set below.); and thoughtful touches (miniature purses and baby dolls, cloth diapers and quilts) that bring each one to life.
Look for Berrie's dolls in our Dolls & Plush pages; check out her felt crown patterns in the Fall issue of Living Crafts magazine or take a glimpse at some of the pieces that have come out of her Whidbey Island studio (photos: Berrie Bowen & Quiet Hours).
Cookie Magazine Online Gift Guides
August 23, 2008
It's been a busy summer here behind the scenes with updates to the shop blog fallen by the wayside. We're happy to start the swing into fall with news from one of our favorite parenting publications. Cookie magazine has posted a selection of "surefire hits" in their new online collection of Gift Guides. With items for newborns through age 8, the savvy editors have gathered together a treasure trove of goods designed to help harried parents avoid hours of browsing. We're honored to have not 1 but 2 items featured in their Newborn Gift Guide: Sockadoodle Do's lovable, squashable, baby-safe plush elephant ("Sockaphant") and perennial favorite felt baby shoes by Diddle Dumpling.

Photography Summer 2016
This past Summer I was lucky to visit three countries with my family over a three week vacation. We spent time in Ireland (Kerry Count and Dublin), South Africa (Capetown and Kruger National Park), and London, England. These photos were taken in a casual context, yet I think the subject matter is beautiful enough to warrant more than a Facebook post.

Apple has snagged Gap marketing exec Marcela Aguilar to lead the company's global marketing communications efforts as a director. At Gap Inc where Aguilar had helped to revive the brand's slump in the early 2010s, Aguilar had served as senior global director of marketing and communications. And now, Aguilar will be joining Apple as it launches its first fashion accessory on the market: the Apple Watch.
Aguilar is the latest high profile hire for Apple as it tries to recruit executives from fashion, tech, watchmakers, health and fitness markets, and more. Most notably, Angela Ahrendts, former head of Burberry, joined Apple as its retail head while it hired away watch-maker Tag Heuer's marketing executive and several others from luxury brand Yves St Laurent. Most recently, famed designer Marc Newson is joining old friend Jony Ive in a design role at Apple.
In an interview with AdAge, Aguilar's boss Seth Farbman at Gap had only high praises to say of Apple's gain.
"Apple is getting a tested professional. Working on a major American brand like Gap means you are on a big stage, in bright lights, every day. That experience is priceless, and Apple demands people who know how to play at a high level," Mr. Farbman added. "Also, her experience in simply communicating the value of meaningful design and developing ideas that create an emotion -- rather than just communicate a product benefit -- should serve her well at Apple."
What do you think of Apple's latest hire?

The first broadband television platform has launched on Freeview in the UK, bringing an initial line-up of 45 internet-delivered channels to viewers with compatible set top boxes.
Connect TV aims to change the "free to air TV landscape in the UK" by combining digital terrestrial television broadcasts with IPTV, enabling broadcasters and content owners to reach their audience in a more cost effective way.
The service works on all compliant IP-connected Freeview HD receivers (currently available in an estimated 5.5m UK homes) and customers can access a raft of additional channels through their existing electronic programme guide.
The launch line-up includes Racing UK, the pay-TV horseracing channel, former Sun editor Kelvin Mackenzie's Sports Tonight Live channel, and Chinese network CCTV.
Users can also watch French, Greek, Polish and Turkish programming from the Vision TV Network, along with other pay-per-view networks.
"Connect TV responds to consumer desire for more content choice and increased interactivity at the touch of a button," said Phil Walder, the managing director of Connect TV.

text: Trump Called Her 'Nasty.' This Is Her Response San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz wears T-shirt with that very word during TV interview By Jenn Gidman, Newser Staff Posted Oct 5, 2017 7:45 AM CDT 295 comments Comments "Nasty" Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz said what she wanted to say with a shirt. (YouTube) (Newser) – The back-and-forth between President Trump and Carmen Yulin Cruz continues. The San Juan mayor gave a TV interview Wednesday to offer an update in the wake of Hurricane Maria, and she sported an instantly noticeable wardrobe choice: a black T-shirt with the word "NASTY" sprawled across it in white block letters. Cruz's shirt was a response to Trump tweeting last week that Cruz was "told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump." He repeated the description during a Tuesday interview with Geraldo Rivera for Fox News, saying Cruz was "very nice at the very beginning" but then "went a little bit on the nasty side," CBS News reports. "What is really nasty is that anyone would turn their back on the Puerto Rican people," Cruz retorted to Univision's Jorge Ramos in a Spanish-language interview, per Newsweek. She added: "When someone is bothered by someone claiming lack of drinking water, lack of medicine for the sick, and lack of food for the hungry, that person has problems too deep to be explained in an interview." Vogue picks up on Cruz's fashion trend, noting Cruz wore another message-carrying tee last week with her shirt that said "Help Us We're Dying." Meanwhile, the Hill adds it's not the first time Trump has wielded "nasty" against a female he views as his adversary: He also referred to Hillary Clinton as "such a nasty woman" during one of the presidential debates nearly a year ago.

***Having trouble inserting photos…see the Photos page for pics of Kathmandu***
Arriving in Nepal was something that I had thought about for many days before it actually happened. As you may have gathered from my last post, I had gotten to the point of being a bit nervous about heading here as I had very little idea of what to expect. I had imagined a poorly organized airport with a chaotic scene upon exiting. However, the arrival went reasonably smoothly. I got my visa, picked up my bag and headed for the doors, where the driver from my Guest House was waiting for me. That was easy! We got into a tiny little car that could only be described as "no-frills" and were off (slowly) through the city. I was clearly gawking with a smile on my face and the driver had a good laugh. I got settled, had an amazing dinner of homemade Palaak Paneer and headed to bed as it was late and it was pouring rain. The next day I headed out for a walk to see what I could find. I wandered out of the touristy Thamel district, down to the river and across to Patan. Among other things, I passed a massive but decaying high school, a field with young boys playing soccer, many street vendors, temples with monkeys playing, cows in the street causing traffic jams, and the National Stadium adorned with signs promoting tourism. Nepal has had a turbulent past and is now looking toward a future of stability and peace (hopefully). In an attempt to gain prosperity and stability, they are looking to increase tourism and are now in the middle of "The Year of Tourism". I have yet to determine exactly what this means for visitors, but as I haven't ever seen Nepal in a non-tourism year, I can't really compare. While walking around Kathmandu, I was one of the only visible tourists, but at no point did I feel uncomfortable or unsafe. However, I did get lost, not just once or twice, but almost every time I left my guesthouse. Kathmandu is a labyrinth of alleys, temples and shops that trick you into thinking that you have been here before, but alas, it is a completely different neighbourhood. Many of the street don't have names and the buildings don't have addresses, so getting lost is pretty much inevitable. I met some great people at my guesthouse who wandered around the city with me. We headed into Durbar Square, which was once a palace dating back to the 7th century, and also climbed up to the Monkey Temple which overlooks the city and a good part of the Kathmandu Valley. The temple has a proper Buddhist name, but is known as the Monkey Temple because it is crawling with cheeky monkeys. I had a close encounter with one monkey as I was circling the stupa. I guess he thought I had gotten too close and bared his teeth and started hissing. I had no idea that they could make that sound! It definitely worked as I jumped and quickly got as far from him as I could. Rabies was one of the shots I chose not to get before I left Canada, so I do not want to get bit by anything!
While I was in Kathmandu, I had to find out how to get a new passport. I have the exciting predicament of having run out of pages long before my current passport expires. Nepal does not have a proper Embassy, but they do have a Canadian Cooperation Office which says on its website that it can help with passport issues. However, as it is in Kathmandu, it doesn't have a proper address just a neighbourhood, so it took me a little while to find it. Once I found the office, I was quite surprised to learn that the 3 weeks quoted online is now 6 weeks because the application has to be approved in Nepal, then sent to Delhi for final review, then sent to Canada for printing the passport, which is then sent back to Delhi, and then sent back to Nepal. Ahhh governments…so efficient. In order to get past the first check in Kathmandu, I had to have 4 references vouch for me so to all of those people who helped THANK YOU!!! I was finally ready to drop off the completed application on Tuesday morning, just before getting picked up to head to Pharping to spend a month at the monastery. When I got up on Tuesday, it was raining so I wrapped myself up and headed through the mud and traffic to the office. It took about an hour and waiting, explaining myself, waiting and more explaining before my application was accepted and I could head off to get cleaned up for the monks. While in Kathmandu, I have learned to accept that I may not be clean or dry for a long time yet. My feet, even after scrubbing, look like I have just left a rainy festival and the mud splatters seem to reappear instantly after washing. So, the monks first impression of me may not be amazing, but hopefully once I get there and get settled I will be able to be a little cleaner. Kathmandu has been a nice stop, but I am excited to get to the monastery. I have heard some really amazing things about the people there and can't wait to meet them for myself. Pharping…here I come!

Quote of the Day: "They can because they think they can." Virgil
Exercise Log: Yes, I'm back on the road (or hills, or paths) and so should all of you! Jen and I went 3 miles on relatively flat streets- as much as possible in the cove. I keep thinking about how much my body has gone through in the past 6 months and I still marvel that it heals itself and I come back feeling as well as I do. I really attribute it to taking care of myself through diet and exercise, before I knew I was carrying this gene, and all the walking afterwards. Our bodies really are amazing but they need us to do our part.
As a family, we were talking about the BRCA 1 mutation in this gene and how it can live and be passed on without diminishing over time and it's because it doesn't show itself usually until after you've had children and so has already been passed on. I was watching a video taken of San Francisco just a week before the big earthquake of 1906 that destroyed the city. At that time, the average life span was only 50 years so this gene could possible have existed in families without anyone even aware of it. But here's some great news. My sister, Emily, talked with the genetic team at Huntsman this week and she asked them if there was any procedure that is done to prevent this gene from being passed on. Apparently, they can tell if a fertilized egg has this gene before they implant it, so if someone wanted to go to those lengths before having a baby, the technology is possible.
So tomorrow, I make a visit to the ob-gyn doctor and discuss when to schedule an Oophorectomy- yes that is really what it's called- they remove your ovaries and fallopian tubes and a little more tissue, because apparently you can still get ovarian cancer after your ovaries are removed, which just seems wrong. I don't know if I will have this surgery before I start radiation. Hopefully, once it's done, I can relax knowing that this tissue, which feels like a ticking time-bomb, will be removed from my body. I really am trying to do all that I can to stay alive, to see my children and grandchildren married, to witness the birth of my grandchildren and to once again be a grandma with energy and fun attached to my name. It makes me so sad when I think of people who don't want to live, perhaps who can't get over a tragic past or are dealing with depression because even though this world is very ugly at times, there are all these other beautiful times that I want to be a part of.
I will also visit the plastic surgeon tomorrow where they will remove the last 2 drains. Yes, I can then wear any shirt or top I choose!!! Sleeping is still rough with this surgery. I'm afraid there may be a little infection in the left side. It is still very much swollen where the right side seems like it is healing better- still very sore but a lot of the swelling has decreased. Right side feels more like me, left side still an alien part. Perhaps, TMI for some, sorry about that.
I was looking through my son, Taylor's missionary photos, and have really been touched by several. He has made these logos regarding breast cancer and then there's this one photo where he shows this logo he has put under his tie, in support of me dealing with breast cancer. It's really sweet. I love that he carries it with him next to his heart.

Grow the "stache", Howell Police participating in "No Shave November" fundraiser
Whether or not you can grow decent looking facial hear or not, doesn't matter, at least not for this month, where the Howell Police Department joins with the CentraState Health Foundation at CentraState Medical Center in Freehold to raise funds to provide cancer patients with the service they provide.
Around 20 police officers in Howell will be participating in "No Shave November" this year to raise the money while also growing their mustache, goatee, or beard.
Police Chief Andrew Kudrick has suspended the normal grooming rules to allow his officers to grow their facial hair out to raise awareness for various cancers and encourage people to donate.
If you donate $25-dollars or more to the cause, then you'll be invited by Howell Police to sign their 'Cancer Fighting Police Car'.
You can donate to the cause by clicking on this link.

The late John Murphy, a Kerryman, founded this iconic Irish building firm whose dark green vans became a frequent sight on British roads since it was established in 1951. When people think of the Irish who built Britain, J Murphy & Sons is often the firm that springs to mind. It evolved after his arrival in London in the 1930s, going on to start out after the war, clearing bombed-out sites in London and helping to rebuild airfields outside the capital.
His Kildare-based son, Bernard Murphy (73), and his extended family now own the firm, and this month, the late John's grandson, also John, stepped into the role as CEO, having been COO for a number of years. It employs over 3,000 people. The company is working on some of the UK's biggest construction projects including London's crossrail, as well as bridges, pipelines, railways, tunnels and water projects. It booked €740m of sales in its last accounts, throwing off €26m in profits.
In 2016, the main firm's CEO said it plans to grow turnover to €2.4bn by 2025. There are also businesses in Australia and Canada. A US one was closed down in 2016. An Isle of Man company over-arches the entire group of firms, which also includes an Irish contracting firm and a water infrastructure company.
There is a UK and Irish property portfolio owned between two companies worth about €200m. The UK ones are in London and appreciated by about €20m in 2016.

GM: The Dude
Players: The Dude(Fixer), Zen
Synopsis: The Dude shared a rumor on recent criminal activity with Zen, who decided to take the bait. Will it turn into a payday?
Date: September 11th, 2017
(Opening at a dark booth in the Cybered Arms)
The Dude converses with Zen for a while before dropping a tidbit. "…So there was a robbery, out in The Sticks. Some bleeding heart was there to do aid work, and gangers up and took all their medical supplies. All of it. I don't think it'll do any good back in the hands of the person that brought it, just get stolen again, but how do you feel about liberating some thugs of the means to heal? What you don't keep, I can get a buyer for."
Zen would talk quietly with the Dude. Nodding finally as that tidbit is offered. "That is something I certainly can work with. I'll give them a warning and recover the items. I'm sure it can help those who might use it rather than waste it with the gangers." Zen frowns slightly. "The gangers stold it for profit only? Not to help one of their own?"
The Dude wags a finger side to side at Zen. "We don't know why they stole it, just that the man they stole it from needs a cybernetic leg if he is going to walk again." He leans back in his seat. "I've got a lead on where they're at. You do your thing, find the goods. Hells, why leave a group like that anything worthwhile? Clean them out if you feel up to it. Just know they've got firepower, so a warning maybe isn't the smartest way to get a medkit you arn't going to immediately need."
Zen shakes his head a little. "Just as I said.. I know out there is someone with enough power to stop me.. This group does not sound like it is it. A warning ultimately spreads. It helps to make others who might do the same to think twice. Alive, people talk. People spread the warning. Dead? People hide it and pretend it didn't happen." Zen muses before giving a shrug. "I do agree though.. I will make sure they're on the ground.. and maybe take more than just the medical supplies. They took a limb. The least I could do is take the weapons."
The Dude pulls up one of his pocsecs, hooking it to the side of his shades via a small port hidden there. After a few moments he plugs a datachip into his pocsec instead, and finally slides the datachip over to Zen. It is photos showing a group of thugs out in The Sticks guarding an old building that might've once been a factory of some kind. The dude speaks up. "They're wearing gang colors, but they arn't part of that gang. At least, my intel says they arn't. I included a drop point. The rest is all yours, my man. Go be captain virtue or whatever you do."
Zen would take the datachip with a small nod to Dude. He'd slip it into the pocsec in his jacket's pocket and after a moment, the data would display over his own shades. Musing, he'd look them over then nods again. "I'm an assassin, Mister the Dude. I just simply am extremely selective on who I will kill. Only those that actually deserve it.." Standing then, Zen gives a polite half-bow to Dude. "I will let you know when I am done.. May I inquire into a phone number to contact you when complete?"
The Dude considers Zen for a little while before sighing. "Just make it to the drop location, we'll exchange numbers after you tell me how it went. Try not to track blood there, yours or theirs?"
Zen purses his lips, then simply nods slightly. "No blood. Mine or theres. I assure you." He'd turn and step away then, heading out before pulling on that cloak. Time to get to work now. Using the data from the chip, Zen would make his way to that drop point, stealthing up only after he's close to conserve battery life.
The Sticks. They're a mess, not a place most people want to be even when the Warrens are doing relatively alright. Excluding a few shamans and equally crazy sorts who equate it to nature.
The area Zen has come looking for has six factories that might've been functional over a hundred years ago, the surrounded area poisoned by runoff metal and rust beyond anyone's desire to salvage. That doesn't mean the buildings have stood abandoned, they've had a variety of tenant/squatters over the years. Three currently look to have someone or other staying there, with fortification made of scrap metal stripped from elsewhere. The three abandoned ones creek ominously whenever the wind blows, what hasn't already collapsed of them anyway.
Zen would keep that cloak on, even in it's neutral grey as he'd make for that area. Looking around speculatively, he'd nod to himself and start that search. Picking the first one he's close to, Zen would sprint up that wall silently, making the top with a quiet landing and starts making his way across what roof might be there. The cloak is engaged after he makes the top, to hide his profile from those who might watch while he hunts.
The building creaks beneath Zen, but that could easily just be the breeze. The buildings already creak. Luckily, nothing breaks. He sees there are gangers in this one, or people dressed like wanna-be gangers at the least. Just… Not the ones he was heading out to find. They must be in one of the other buildings.
Zen makes it to that top and pauses there, looking at those within. Frowning, he'd shake his head and being mindful of his step, the structure definitely not all that stable, would move on. Time to see if he can see anyone else before moving on to the next spot. That cloak required him to be slow and careful, not too fast to disrupt the cloaking. But that's ok. Zen was always patient.
Those apparently abandoned facilities? Something is off. Zen gets a strong sense they arn't as abandoned as they look. Approaching them may be an additional risk.
Zen pauses, studying the facilities. Eyes narrowing in contemplation, he'd look back to the gangers below him. Hmm. Looking around, Zen would find a path downward, something to get him closer to those below so he can study them closer. Gangers? Or.. guards?
The gangers do seem a little old, now that Zen looks at them. You'd expect teenagers to be doing this sort of thing, but all the ones Zen sees are in their early twenties. They're also a bit more relaxed and soldier like. They could still be gangers, but they seem more dangerous than the usual. Luckily they don't see or sense Zen, yet. Maybe just as lucky, they arn't the ones he came here to look for.
Something is going on. This is more dangerous than originally anticipated. Zen would watch them a moment longer, before moving on. Slipping out of that structure, he'd push onward. He's going to have to be careful in this area. Dealing with this other group may draw unwanted attention and with some of that rust ground into the cloak, it's acting up now. He'd have to clean it later.
Further down, there are other old buildings still looming on this seemingly long forgotten stretch of road in the Sticks. Zen has only checked a few of the six so far.
Zen would use what cover he could between those he's looked at and the next set. That cloak switched off for now to conserve power as he'd go. Just one among the shadows of the area, he'd keep alert. Something.. something else was going on and it had his hackles raised. But he didn't know what. yet. So didn't call for backup.. yet.
The going is easy enough to make it that short distance. The third old factory building is occupied by gangers that look a lot like the ones he saw in the first, but the fourth is different. The security less well thrown together, the people on guard inside more huddled and hidden. Like they expect trouble all the time.
Zen would try to peer inside without much success. Frowning, he'd look up the wall, nods slightly and start up it. There's a few spots he can see of potential entrances, but it's the roof he'd actually seek to land on, crouching there with the cloak turning on as he'd take a sweeping scan of the area to see what he can find from this point.
As Zen comes over the corner he finds a narrow ridge that doesn't quite give enough room for him to stand. He could grab the corner of the wall he came over to try to balance himself, but there is no promise the wall won't just fold. Down below him he can see a room full of scrap, with a few spots of bare floor he might aim for. He needs to think fast!
The building creaks under Zen's grip as he stops at the top of the wall. He has a stance and is stable for the time being, but each second he stays up there causes the wall to lean a little more. It is subtle right now, but it will take mere seconds to become a serious problems.
Zen comes up to that top, landing on a too thin spot. He'd frown, shifting his weight to maintain that balance, gloved hand reaching out to press on the wall to help him stay upright. That.. could of been worse. he'd look around from there, seeking the next point he can move to, before this becomes dangerous.
Zen can see that these are the gangers he is after. There are six he can spot right offf, and there is one standing room locked and barricaded that looks important. It isn't where they sleep, that is off against a wall with a partial ceiling overhanging it. These are squatter conditions.

Do Animals have Culture?
Do animals have culture?
Probably everyone would say instantly 'Yes'. Google the above question, you'll find loads of articles carrying this story.
Chimpanzees found inheriting certain abilities which were not biological. Whale invents a technique which is followed by other whales. Thus Animals do have culture.
Is it?
This is the modern inclination you consider. This style is believed to be scientific. It's trend these days to believe in an article whatever it claims itself to be scientific. But the truth is most of the population doesn't know what science is. Popular article writers utilize this ignorance of their readers and they tend to pour traffic onto their sites by writing something which they claim scientific.
Let us take for instance the chimp and whale story. What's the objective behind these experiments? Were these experiments conducted with pure objective to unfold the truth of animal culture?
Definitely not. These are observations. How one shall conclude that animals have culture just with these observations whose objectives were different. Are they valid?
'It seems to me that there are two types of primate studies, or two sets of writing about primate behavior; (1) those of field workers, in which the behavior is coldly measured, and (2) those of people trying to prove how much we have learned about the human behavior and evolution from the study of primates. The first kind is usually of excellent quality and cannot be seen as anything but a tremendous addition to our knowledge. The second type is often nonsense and simple bandwagoning.
– Ralph L. Holloway
This is first-class clarification for those going behind such fake scientific articles. Well, here we shall pierce the question with bursting scientific phase.
Is it so, do animals have culture?
For now, Let animals be aside. Come to culture.
What's culture?
Oxford dictionary of English says that the word 'culture' is derived from the Latin word 'colere' which means 'tend' or 'cultivate'. In whole picture 'culture' means 'complex process of Cultivation with an intention of benefit'.
Agriculture is a complex process of cultivation of crops with an intention of benefit. Horticulture is complex process of cultivation of flowers with an intention of benefit. Likewise, Tissue Culture is complex process of cultivation of tissues or cells in group with an intention of benefit. Viral Culture is complex process of cultivation of viruses with an intention of benefit.
If you remove these words 'an intention of benefit' from the above definition of culture, Agriculture and Horticulture will be named 'Unwanted weed growth'. Whereas, Tissue Culture and Viral Culture will be termed 'cancer' or 'disease' without the objective of benefit.
Great then, what's the point here comparing that culture with this culture. Coming. I'm trying to define
culture right from its origin and evolution so that it will not look like definition but a probe.
The word 'culture', in 17th century was first time used in completely different aspect. Philosopher's started using the word 'culture' as cultivation of soul, 'complex process of cultivation of good values with an intention of greater benefit for oneself and for the whole humankind' they defined.
And in 19th century E.B.Taylor used the word 'culture' in his book. He defines culture as 'the complex whole shared by Man as a member of society'. This is the first formal definition of 'culture' from an Anthropologist. And anthropologists developed the definition further.
Today, the definition stands saying 'culture is universally human capacity to classify and encode human experiences symbolically and to communicate symbolically the encoded experiences socially'. If this definition is much heavier let us say precisely that 'Culture is imposition of arbitrary form upon the environment.' This is the definition of culture by Halloway.
Culture is the ability or capacity of human beings to classify and represent experiences with symbols, and to act imaginatively and creatively.
Ok. Ease up. Let's leave everything here and shall encounter another question. 'Are humans superior to animals?'
Most of those who said 'Animals do have culture' first, will say 'Yes' to this question with affirmation or hesitation. But no one would say 'No'. Human beings are superior beings to Animals' because this is evident. Why do we say so? We do realize that human establishes himself superior to other beings by certain attributes. Even, our discussion of other animals, their culture and behavior shows that we attempt to establish our superiority over them. This is apparent, animals are lesser or not superior to Humans.
Animals do have culture but we are superior, this is the conclusion most people try to give. Let us investigate further ahead of wrapping up.
I'll say we are not superior.
We're not superior to a bee or a parrot or a cat in Vision.
We're not superior to a bat in hearing.
We're not superior to a Dog in differentiating smells.
We're not superior physically to an Elephant.
We're not superior to a Lion, in hunting.
We're not superior to a sloth in sleeping.
We're not superior to a bird in flying.
We're not superior to a Whale in swimming.
We're not superior to a Cheetah in running.
We're not superior to anything except in one thing that is advanced intelligent and social behavior.
This superiority or complexity of Intelligence and Social Behavior which we are highly advanced at, than other beings is called culture. Culture is imposition of arbitrary form upon the environment.
Though we are highly inferior to other animals in every sort, we have a capability to impose some arbitrary things on the environment. With this imposition we attempt to view, hear, smell, strengthen, hunt, fly, run, and swim in advanced manner than those animals. We impose certain strokes to encode a picture of a tree or an action and later with those strokes we decode the picture or action. That is human tendency, the cultural tendency. Still stubborn?
'We say 'Animals have culture' with only one support. Animals do inherit certain tendencies of Humans like teaching to younger generation, symbolizing unto certain extend etc. They, do inherit by non-biological process, why don't we call these tendency to be cultural?
'Man's social behavior could be compared directly with that of other species, and interpreted by the same Darwinian concepts, Fruitful areas of research comparable to those developed in comparative ethology might be, for example: territoriality, optimum population maintenance, agnostic behavior, mating and consort behavior, ritualized display, play, intergroup relations, communication systems, etc. This expansion of orientation should lead to a better understanding of the non-cultural aspects of human social systems and in consequence to a sharper appreciation of the role of culture in human adaptation.'
– – Tiger and R. Fox, The zoological perspective of social science.
This is a list for Social Behaviors from Tiger and Fox which still extends advancing.
The debate that 'Animals have culture' which emerges by the empirical evidence of animals to inherit by non-biological process falls completely under the above category. There is no superiority or complexity of Intelligence and Social Behavior in these observations which is necessary for a cultural aspect to arise.
Hallowell develops an idea of 'Proto-Cultural stage' to bridge this gap between Social Behavior and Culture. Further, Hockett and Ascher adds design features of productivity, traditional transmission and duality of patterning and attributes of self-objectification, symbolic reference, self identification, self-awareness and self-appraisal to the evolution of proto-cultural stage to cultural stage. With this they try to map the behavior of early hominids (not hominoids).
Likewise, Maruyama writes that 'the invention of symbolization or the capacity to structure the environment arbitrarily, is thus an initial kick which starts the process moving in the mutual-casual interplay between cultural and biological sectors of human evolution, e.g., expansion of brain, tool complexity, manual dexterity, social structure based on cohesion, communication'.
Terrance W.Deacon writes in his book 'The Symbolic Species' that 'Biologically, we are just another ape. Mentally, we are a new phylum of organisms', and further he argues that language of Humans can never be compared with Animal communications since they're not analogic but vastly divergent.
He further writes, 'Though we share the same earth with millions of kinds of living creatures, we also live in a world that no other species has access to. We inhabit a world full of abstractions, impossibilities, and paradoxes. We alone brood about what didn't happen, and spend a large part of each day musing about the way things could have been if events had transpired differently. And we alone ponder what it will be like not to be. In what other species could individuals ever be troubled by the fact that they do not recall the way things were before they were born and will not know what will occur after they Die? We tell stories about our real experiences and invent stories about imagined ones, and we even make use of these stories to organize our lives. In a real sense, we live our lives in this shared virtual world. And slowly, over the millennia, we have come to realize that no other species on earth seems able to follow us into this miraculous place.'
Again, Culture is imposition of arbitrary form upon the environment.
Let me conclude with Holloway's conclusion, 'Culture is ours alone, by the facts of arbitrariness and imposition. Logical frameworks which necessitate a priori decisions regarding the placement of an event in the past in a psychological framework will not determine the presence of "culture"; an analysis of stone tools will. A return to the essential problem, the "imposition of arbitrary form upon the environment", might serve as a stimulus for discussion that will eventually return culture once again to our own domain.'
That's it. Human being alone possesses culture. Culture is the entity which separates human from animals. Read this essay again to be lucid.

Mark Ryan
24 Comments
This guy is the ATR supervisor for the Bronx. He retired in March and was working out of Monroe HS. He's targeted several ATRs who were brought up on charges from a very vindictive Ms. Bridget Bye of Pan American HS. He will berate you and try to get you to admit to his accusations. Make sure you have union rep if he meets with you. This guy went after a close friend of mine, Dr. Edwards, who was a pastor. He harassed him intensely last year. Dr. Edwards described him to me as an evil man. Dr. Edwards passed away last spring, right before he was about to retire. One of the finest friend's I have ever had. Guys like Ryan need to be lanced like a boil from the DOE.
I should have added Ryan is still working, part time.
I have him this year as my supervisor. I had my first formal. I don't know how things will work out.
He is a perfect fit for the worst school system in the USA. We are getting what we deserve!
Being rated in another system it is also discriminatory. And not having assigned classes is discriminatory while they hire new teachers. Having our Union negotiate secret deals without voting on it is discriminatory. Being rated by someone we never met is outrageous. The whole ATR Pool is discriminatory. Etc….
Shameful and ridiculous. The Union is to be blamed for the harassment that we put up with, and the abuse.
Our Union is a complete disgrace for allowing its more experienced teachers to be targeted because they became expensive. These field supervisors are only there to harass us, and rate older teschers U.
I had him…he gave me all u's…nothing I could do was right. I knew all my lessons were good but not according to him. He brought me up on 3020a for incompetence.
Mr. Ryan does not live in the State of New York. An investigation showed he lives in New Jersey. Violation
I was given U's by him …and brought up on incompetence by him which led to 3020a.
The Union will never help us, they want to get rid of ATRs.
So far this year he has been reasonable except for his request to submit weekly lesson plans.
He is trying to harass you.
As a first time Absent Teacher Reserve I had Mr. Ryan and I am surprised with those negatives comments, he never show up to my observations intoxicated, he gave me constructive advice. I really like the guy..this was 2015/2016 school year…He offered to give me a letter of recommendation…I was never under the impression he was out to get me.
He has a clear agenda.
Rate many ATRSunsatisfactory using unquestionable methods. If you are old neat you wil be forced out.
They are told to harass ATRs as much as they can.
He refuses to model a lesson, yet he sets up high expectations that are impossible to follow.
I had cancer (survivor) but Ryan wanted me out.
I had very bad looking skin at the time all over my
face. Had a perfect record with no U's but couldn't
get hired from any of the schools! Gave great interviews
and had references from past schools! Ryan wanted me
on the street with no insurance!! And he wasn't even
my ATR supervisor. He just showed up one day with
Carol Brown . . another serious damaged personality.
I wanted to go to the chancellor or mayors office and ask
what type of people do they have working for the DOE
Their job is to harass us to retire or resign. Our UFT is supporting them.
And I'm not finished with this creep. I was never absent for
17yrs, and never late in 22yrs! Never received a
U rating !! But I am a veteran teacher from a closed school
and that's all it took!! I'm lucky he didn't have his way
or I would have been in debt for cancer treatments!
They like to target older teachers.
Lucky thing I'm finished with these idiots
in June! Next year will be better at new school!
Fair student funding is responsible for age discrimination , including but not limited to : negative observation ratings, being told harassing lies during your post-ob , being over-scrutinized on a daily basis as administrators look for anything they can call a problem even when it isn't a problem, being treated differently than younger teachers and told you didn't do enough of something during the lesson, false accusations, principals having derogatory conversations about you with parents in an effort to gang up against you, closing schools and dismissing only older teachers who have to go on interviews that they will never win, being unfairly targeted for termination charges, being ATRed and therefore sent like a bag lady or man from school to school. And the list goes on. And this is ALL the result of Fair Student Funding

For Formula 1 fans, there was a moment in last Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix which proved rather unpleasant to watch. Ferrari mechanic Francesco Cigorini suffered a horrific leg injury when driver Kimi Raikkonen received signal to drive off while Cigorini was still standing in front of the left rear wheel of the car.
Ferrari's pit system showed a green light to Raikkonen, indicating he could exit the pits, despite mechanics still changing the tyres. Cigorini suffered a fracture of the tibia and fibula in his left leg and was taken to hospital where he later had surgery. I would certainly hope that Mr Cigorini will be provided with the best possible care, rehabilitation and support by his employer, and at some point in the future will be able to return to work.
However there are two issues that concern me. The first is the way in which Ferrari has been punished by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the motorsports governing body. The second is that this very serious incident was completely foreseeable.
After reviewing the incident, the FIA race stewards handed Ferrari a €50,000 fine for releasing Raikkonen's car 'in a manner endangering team personnel and causing injury'. A Formula 1 news website even ran an article with the headline 'Ferrari handed big fine for Raikkonen unsafe release'.
Let's get a bit of perspective here. This season Ferrari will have received somewhere in the region of £180m from Formula One Management (FOM) for simply turning up. They will have also likely received another £220m from sponsors and other partners. If we consider that the average wage of a worker in the UK is around £27,400, this 'big fine' handed down by the FIA is the equivalent of fining your average man on the street around £3 for inflicting an appalling injury on another person. I'll leave that there.
Secondly, let's look at the actual incident. While changing the tyres of an F1 car in two seconds isn't something many of us will ever do, it is an integral part of motor sport. Over the course of a race weekend, the mechanics will do this dozens of times - and between races this is an activity they practice over and over again. While hazardous, it could be considered to be routine, given the job these mechanics do.
Yet we frequently see similar incidents occur. Just days prior, Raikkonen had to stop during practice due to a wheel not being attached properly. And during the previous race in Australia, the Haas team retired both cars within minutes of each other for similar errors during pit stops, albeit the only injury was to the team's pride.
This is a common story across all industries. When we have incidents, they usually occur during the activities we carry out every day, over and over. We become used to the hazards and when near misses occur, we rarely take the time to investigate the causes and make the necessary changes to prevent reoccurrence.
Prior to Mr Cigorini suffering what could be a life-changing injury, these previous occurrences seemed comical in their regularity, however the only laughable part of the story now is the fine handed down by the FIA.
The teams in Formula 1, along with their governing body, must take a long hard look at how they work to prevent such incidents occurring and start to focus their improvement efforts on more than just lap times.

I finally got my hands on an XD-S 9mm, courtesy of a friend that recently purchased one. I do own a bi-tone XD-S .45, and you can click on the 'Product Reviews' tab, then scroll down for the three-part review of that pistol.
I had some 9mm ammo left over from when I owned a Glock 17, so I supplied the ammo for the practice session, which included some 124gr FMJ's from Good To Go Ammo, Winchester Nato 124gr FMJ, Corbon DPX 115gr +p, and Hornady Critical Duty 135gr +p.
I have not shot my XD-S in a couple months and have been shooting nothing but .45 (FNX 45 Tactical), 10mm (gen-4 Glock 20) and .44 mag (Ruger SRH) as of late. I like a bigger grip, so I wrap my revolver grips in tennis grip tape, both for a familiar feel and to bulk up the grip. I have a Pachymayr grip sleeve on my XD-S .45 and find the grip barely acceptable, even with the largest backstrap. I also only shoot the XD-S .45 with the extended magazine. So, I was immediately reminded how thin the pistol is upon inserting a flush mag into the XDS-9mm.
The first few shots were cumbersome, because of the somewhat squishy uptake in the trigger, but the rhythm came back to me after about ten shots. I also found the lack of full support for the pinky finger tough to get used to coming from the FNX 45 Tactical.
Like the XDS-45, felt recoil from the 9mm version was less than expected. I actually had to load up Winchester Nato and Hornady Critial Duty just to feel like I was shooting something 🙂 The XDS-9 ate everything I fed it for over 200 rounds. In terms of ammo performance, I'm also going to guess that the 9mm is similar to the .45 in that loads like the Hornady Critical Defense or short-barrel Speer Gold Dot probably yield the best performance for the dollar. The Corbon DPX felt really good to shoot. Hornady Critical Duty is better suited for longer barrels.
I can't really comment on accuracy because it just felt too strange firing the XDS-9 without the extended mag. I suspect that if you practice regularly with the flush mag, it won't be an issue. Although I'm an XD-S fan, I did find the 9mm Shield easier to shoot accurately more quickly way back in the day when I rented one at Eagle Gun Range. On that topic, I'll leave you with a video of Hickock45 comparing the Shield and XDS-9. Hopefully, this will give you another perspective.
The XDS-9 is currently available only in all black, but the bi-tone model is coming quickly. $599 seems to be the going price at the local gun shows. I probably won't buy one since I'm very satisfied with my current pistol collection and .45/10mm as baseline calibers. After all, I am an American and it is July 4 in a couple days, so my thoughts about the .45 are best summarized below.

[LL] Leroy the Lion was a proud Los Angeles Lakers supporter in a den of Boston Celtics fans. He didn't expect much sympathy when he noted, "Did you all hear that Lakers owner Jerry Buss just passed away?"
[RR] Roderick the Rock responded for the group, "Yeah, what a shame. I'll admit that I used to hate the guy. Back when the Celts and Lakers would go at it in the NBA finals regularly, I couldn't stand him. But then I found out that he was a poker player."
[SS] "Yep, I remember watching him on the NBC Heads-Up Championship against Daniel Negreanu a bunch of years ago. 2005, I think. Buss was short-stacked and got it all-in with A♦10♠. The Canadian had just the Q♦J♠ but flopped a straight draw with the 5♣9♦10♦."
[SS] "The amateur asked for the harmless 2♥ and 4♦, but the pro countered with a request for the 8♦, 'That'd be exciting'."
[SS] "Boom! The 8♦ hit the felt on the turn, giving Negreanu the lead with a straight. The real estate mogul wanted a diamond on the river to make his flush, and the poker pro agreed, but specifically ordered the J♦."
[SS] "Shazam! The river was the J♦, and Negreanu went nuts, partly because he just won the match, partly because he hit a straight flush, but mostly because he had predicted the turn and river cards exactly. Buss classily waited for him to calm down before shaking hands, and Daniel exclaimed, 'I gotta go buy me a Lakers jersey now!'"
[LL] "Jerry was actually a very good poker player, but like a lot of rich businessmen, he enjoyed playing in games over his head for the challenge. He also played in the 2006 Heads-Up Championship, High Stakes Poker, and Poker After Dark because he said something to the effect of, 'There's no other game where I can sit down and play against the best in the world' and 'There's no better feeling than beating the best in the world.' I'm sure if he'd been healthy enough, he would have entered last year's Million Dollar Big One for One Drop World Series of Poker event."
[LL] "Hold 'Em wasn't even his best game. His best WSOP result came in Seven-Card Stud, where he placed 3rd in an event in 1991. The WSOP hopes to name a Seven-Card Stud tournament in his honor this year."

Since photography was my calling I also have this incredible instinct to feel people. I read vibes better than expressions and I listen to actions, not words. I had the privilege of shooting Elcira and Jacques' engagement session and I couldn't be happier, for them!
The love these two have for each other is infectious and even though it was just my first time meeting the groom, I can already tell their love will last.
Let's start with the preparation. First of all, Jacques had more than 3 out fits laid out and professionally ironed them all himself, over and over again. After much deliberation he loved the white button down and black slacks look, but he also thought he looked like a waiter and we all decided on blue. The shoes, the belt, the vest, everything was carefully thought of and prepared.
Elcira hired a professional makeup artist, Melissa to try a practice run for the big day. This helps to find the perfect look, especially for the genetically blessed that very rarely even wears make up.
Just looking at the way he looked at his fiance and the time and effort they put into this photo shoot proves that have already created a strong foundation for a lasting marriage.
The sapphire stone was selected as a symbol of a relationship based on faithfulness and sincerity. Jacques put a lot of thought into selecting this token of his love and brings back memories of the first night they met… "All the best things come in small packages".
Their wedding is coming up in October of this year and I can't wait to be there to capture their love story!
