Spring has sprung and with it comes new ideas, new motivations and a whole spread of new creative stimulus from the Dream Team! Here are our picks of the week…
INSPO #1 // Jay-Z Decode book's epic collaboration
We often have huge, crazy, out-of-this-world ideas here at Dream & Do, and as much as we are eternal optimists, we often can't comprehend them being possible. This video changes everything. This is a BIG idea that actually gave BIG results. Jay Z's collaboration with Bing to launch his new book, Decoded, was nothing short of genius and answered the objectives of both brands.
In 2010, Jay-Z and Bing were clients of Droga5 and had been tasked to run ad campaigns separately. They saw a hugely innovative opportunity for a collaborative campaign to attract internet users to Bing Maps, while promoting Jay-Z's new book, Decoded, at the same time.
After gushing at how incredible this campaign is, we have drawn a few things that we can learn from this and implement in our own work:
- Big ideas can give big results; make sure you stay focused on the objective.
- People love to interact and create. Never underestimate the power of play. Can you gamify your business in some way?
- Celebrate your success with a teaser video. Australia didn't get to experience this campaign specifically, but we can through this case study video. I now respect Bing and will be ordering Decoded after this!
- Embrace technology. Even if you don't feel tech-savvy, people out there use technology that could work to enhance your brand, and your brand can enhance theirs. It will give your work a whole new dimension

INSPO #2 // Sensory spaces for people living with Tourette's Syndrome
A couple of weeks ago at Newcastle Uni, I came across a sensory zone by Bliss Cavanagh, as part of her PhD research in Health Science. The poster only had a few short sentences about the space, but it looked pretty intriguing so I ventured inside. I had a preconceived idea that it would be way too overwhelming, with all the colours and lights and fluffy chairs and installations, but I was so very wrong. I ended up going inside three times that day, just to sit and think and experience and rest my brain. It was so relaxing, with chilled out music, blacked out windows, comfy chairs and the sensory overload had the complete opposite effect to what I expected. Chatting with Bliss, who was set up in a corner with her laptop every day for two weeks (totally blissful working environment… haha, get it?!), I found out that she's a sensory-based artist with a studio and store in the city, and her postgrad research centres on creating a therapeutic, relaxing environment for people living with disorders such as Tourette's Syndrome and mental health issues. She's collaborated on some pretty cool creative projects, festivals and museum installations in the past.
Think big! Three major ways this can be applied to branding:
- Give back to your audience. I haven't forgotten the space and the way I felt in it, so it goes to show the value of creating something, particularly an immersive, tangible experience that they will remember.
- My perception was challenged from the outset and it shook my belief system.
- It's a project with a personal story behind it, and invites understanding about real issues that people live with, opening my mind to different experiences.

INSPO #3 // videos by CANADA
This week I discovered CANADA - an international collective of directors who produce some weeeiiiird commercials and music videos like this one. When I say weird, I mean weird in a really good way. The kind of videos that when you watch, you wonder what drugs they were on when they came up with the concept. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the board meetings for these guys or spend a day inside their wonderfully crazy heads.
This is a great place to go when you're feeling uninspired for some 'way out there' ideas. Also a great place to go if you feel like a bit of a fruit-loop… for clarification that you're not the only one. We're already starting to brainstorm for how to apply these kinds of crazy, big ideas to Cereal Entrepreneurs! This kind of surreal imagery is great because it makes people think about what's going on, the message and the story behind it, without being explicit. In that way, your audience will be left thinking about your creative content for a while afterwards, therefore keeping your brand at the forefront of their mind. A couple of my personal favourites involve a giant piñata man being chased and beaten up, a talking creme caramel perving on the girl who is about to eat him and toe-jobs. If this doesn't encourage you to watch, I don't know what will. Enjoy!

INSPO #4 // 2 Hrs North – a photographic documentary project
So for my first Creative Show and Tell, I had heaps of blog posts, music videos, and social media campaigns up on my computer for days and days. I ended up sharing something that I didn't actually source but that found me! A photobook series called "2Hrs North".
2 Hrs North is a collaborative photobook series that details the hidden gems and diversity in the coastal city of Newcastle. The project is a collaboration between 13 individuals and their daily experiences through 12 suburbs of Newcastle. The books are beautiful visually with minimal text, which allowed me to experience the beauty in the mundane. As I grew up in the Hunter Valley, I have a particular view of Newcastle from my youth and the images generated by the photographers reminded me to challenge my perceptions of places, people and things that I have and to remind me of the beauty in the everyday.
Look up. Be present. Engage.

INSPO #5 // Rugby World Cup cartoon ad campaign
I'm going to start off by saying that I'm not the biggest sports fan, let alone rugby fan. Sorry Dad, I've put it out there. Now that's been said, I'm going to tell you why I'm obsessed with the England rugby team's advert for the world cup. Now that I'm back in the UK and it's only a matter of hours before the rugby world cup kicks off, it's getting a little bit hard to avoid all the hype surrounding it. Normally any sort of advertising for rugby is a bit lost on me, but this advert created by 02 is an exception. I think I can go as far as saying most adverts these days don't really do much to inspire me, so what is it about this one has me gripped every single time?
In terms of rugby and sport advertising, an animation is pretty refreshing. I don't really relate to tough, rugged men in little shorts (however nice they are to look at) but I do love Frozen. This charming animation immediately draws me in with its endearing and awkward characters. The familiar cartoon style we all know and love is a subtle way to reach a new audience for the start of the tournament. As well as aesthetically tackling a new approach to sport advertising, the message delivered is also new to me. Whereas before I've seen a focus on the team's skill and determination, 02 draws in the fan by making them essential to England's success. The advert ignites feelings of camaraderie and team spirit. Not only do you want to go cheer on your team, you feel a responsibility to the players that you have to be there with them.
Like you see with most campaigns these days, the advert has a nice tagline and hashtag to continue the story well after the advert finishes. Are you a true supporter unless you've shared it on social media? So as much as I'm not the biggest rugby fan, I'm now a rugby-advert fan and have been inspired to think about ways in which you can reach out to a new audience. Focusing on perspective and message, as well as the way it's delivered, 02 have shown how it is key to constantly be striving to do better.

Why Read This Brief
VMware recently revealed the direction that it's heading at its annual VMworld conference. In 2013, VMware announced its pursuit of three complementary product strategies for the BT agenda: 1) extension of virtualization to the fully software-defined data center; 2) launch of a public cloud service; and 3) a richer end user computing suite. These strategies were aimed at helping VMware's core infrastructure and operations (I&O) professional customers and its new targets: developers, business groups, and C-level executives. The new Photon Platform, vSphere Integrated Containers, and the NSX network overlay VMware unveiled at VMworld 2015 are concrete steps toward winning new champions, but VMware isn't there yet.

BETUMI: The African Culinary Network ( ) connects anyone who delights in African delicacies, foodways, and meals history. We're all about good recipes, and about quality residence cooking that everyone can enjoy. A treasured basic of Cape Malay cuisine, breyani is a aromatic dish comprising layers of marinated meat, rice, lentils and spices topped with crisp-fried onions and hard-boiled eggs.
A ladle is used to scoop out the top, which is filled with berbere and butter sauce and surrounded by milk or yoghurt. One does not eat with utensils, however as a substitute makes use of injera to scoop up the entrées and side dishes. Additionally it is very common to eat from the identical dish within the center of the table with a bunch of people.
The cooks in the royal kitchens of Fez , Meknes , Marrakesh , Rabat and Tetouan refined it over the centuries and created the premise for what is named Moroccan delicacies at present. The chilli is also supposed to assist protect meals, as well as adding flavour to relatively bland tropical staples like root vegetables.
Cookery practised by indigenous folks of Africa such as the Sotho – and Nguni -talking people. A real South African comfort food, it's served as a dessert, and in addition obtainable in many bakeries. It may be constituted of other forms of seeds, and the use of soybeans for this function is rising due primarily to inadequate provide of néré seeds.
Beer brewing was done by women, and the standing of a housewife in pre-colonial southern Africa depended considerably on her talent at brewing delicious beer. Beef being probably the most prized meat, for weddings, affluent households often purchase a live steer for slaughter at residence.

We did it!
Stephanie Newman raised £245 from 17 supporters
Start your own crowdfunding page
Closed 17/08/2018
We've raised £245 to My mum has a very rare, aggressive cancer and needs help funding specialist treatment
- Funded on Friday, 17th August 2018
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
In december last year we found out mum had a rare form of cancer called urachal cancer. It only effects 2% of the people who are diagnosed with cancer and is very agressive. Mum had a major op in February to remove her uracheal tube ( which is behind your bellybutton) as well as 30% of her bladder. Since then she has been trying to adapt but was taken into hospital 2 days ago, only to be told its spread through her bladder and into her lymph node. They have also found multiple blood clots in mums lungs so she will now have to take medication for that for the rest of her life, which means any further surgery is not an option. We are seeing the oncology specialist soon to see what they can do but there is a new treatment for the immune system which im looking into.
The idea behind this page is to try and help ease the financial burden on my mum and to fund some immunotherapy as its not widely available on the NHS yet. It cost about £4000 a go!
We dont know what will happen yet but if you look for this cancer on the internet you will understand why i feel the need to ask for help with this. Many thanks for listening and if you can please donate even the smallest amount then thats a big help. Also please tell everyone you know. Thanks

British Values and Our Catholic Ethos
British Values and Our Catholic Ethos
The government set out its definition of 'British values' in the 'Prevent Strategy' (2011), which was designed to prevent the extremism and religious radicalization of young people. British values are considered by the present government to be democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs. The promotion of 'British values' is central to Catholic education because British values have their origin in the Christian values of our nation.
"We are proud that Catholic schools promote values that are both Catholic and British, including: respect for the individual, democracy, individual liberty, respect, tolerance and inclusiveness. Our schools promote cohesion by serving more ethnically diverse and poorer communities. Catholic schools provide high standards of education which are popular with parents from all social, economic and faith backgrounds." Paul Barber (Catholic Education Service 15 December 2014).
At All Hallows we recognise, not only the importance of helping students to flourish academically but also spiritually, morally, socially and culturally, so they are fully prepared for life in British society and for their role as citizens, able to make the strongest possible contribution to the Common Good of all. We teach the importance of British Values by going much deeper into the meaning of what it means to live a good life, within a framework of Catholic Christian Values. This provides the context and meaning for understanding why British values are important. Our framework for understanding British values draws on the example of Jesus and his welcome and inclusion of all, which is developed in Catholic Social Teaching. At All Hallows we provide an education which focuses on the formation of the whole person and on our vocation and purpose in life. We are guided by our mission statement 'Aspire not to have more but to be more' and by the Christian values of honourable purpose (that is, vocation and service), respect, compassion, co-operation and stewardship as we reflect on our place and purpose in the world. We place a significant emphasis on the celebration of individuality and difference within our communities and our calling to work for the Common Good, in the service of others. Our Catholic ethos, which includes explicit reference to Christian and British values, makes a tangible difference to the way we work together and with our wider communities. Within this framework it would be impossible to overlook the governments view of British values expressed as 'democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.' The examples that follow are an indication of some of the many ways we seek to embed British values at All Hallows Catholic College and should be seen as an indication of our approach rather than an exhaustive list.
|Students learn about democracy, justice, tolerance and respect for others in assemblies and lessons. In Year 8, students studying slavery had an in-depth debate about the rights of individuals and wrongs of slavery, and finally the reasons for its abolition' Ofsted 2014
The Rule of Law The importance of laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the College, or the country, are consistently reinforced throughout every day, as well as when dealing with behaviour and through assemblies. The curriculum is designed to ensure Students are taught the values and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken. Visits from authorities such as the Police and Fire Service are regular parts of our learning programmes and help reinforce this message.
The curriculum is a real strength of the college. It is designed to meet the needs of students, ensure rapid progression for them, prepare them for the next phase in their education or training and it also ensures that they are prepared for life in modern Britain. It develops their basic skills as well as those they will rely on in the future, for example, working with others, problem solving, information and communication technology and their social skills. It provides excellent opportunities for academic and personal development. There are many additional opportunities for students to pursue their interests and develop new ones, as well as experience the cultures of other countries. Ofsted 2014
Individual Liberty Within All Hallows Catholic College students are actively encouraged to make independent choices knowing that they are in a safe, secure and supportive environment. As a College we educate and provide boundaries for students to make choices safely, through the provision of a safe environment and an empowering education. We encourage students to see themselves as unique individuals able to make a unique contribution to building community. Students are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights, responsibilities and personal freedoms and receive advice about how to exercise these safely, for example through our exploration of E-Safety in computing and their tutor time activities.
"Spiritual, moral, social and cultural education is outstanding. It is an integral part of the culture of the college and plays a major part in students feeling well prepared for the next phase of their education and for life in modern Britain." Ofsted 2014
Mutual Respect Respect is one of the five core values of our College and is modelled by students and staff alike. The College promotes respect for others and this is reiterated through our classroom and learning environments as well as extra-curricular activities such as sport. In line with our commitment to democracy, students are always able to voice their opinions as we foster an environment where students can debate ideas and are safe to disagree with each other. We encourage students to substantiate opinions and to realised the value of co-operation and consensus as well as decision making through voting. Our emphasis on ethics, fairness and justice means that we ask our students to ensure that they look out for those who might be marginalised and disadvantaged. The development of our unique approach to teaching and learning (The Teacher Effectiveness Enhancement Programme – TEEP) across the College develops mutual respect throughout the curriculum and our code of conduct promotes the values of respect and responsibility. The College has taken a very strong stance on social inclusion and anti-bullying through an explicit focus on strategies to enable respect for difference through, for example, reflections on homophobia and other forms of bullying.
"Students are very polite and respectful and readily adopt the college's culture of tolerance for others." Ofsted 2014
Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs This is achieved through equipping students with the ability to develop positive values, understand their own beliefs and their place in a culturally diverse society. We give our students opportunities to experience such diversity within the College community and within the wider community. All students experience a connection with other cultures and beliefs through our RE and Catholic Citizenship programme, theme days and local, regional and international links. The emphasis on enterprise, working with others, and learning other languages directly contributes to the appreciation of others perspectives on life. Our Religious Studies curriculum follows the teaching of the Church in providing a broad and balanced education, which includes an understanding of and respect for people of other faiths or none and other religions, cultures and lifestyles.
"Students' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstandingly well promoted and pervades the life of the college..It is an exceptionally strong feature of how well the college promotes equality of opportunity for all." Ofsted 2014

Strong winds leave downed powerlines, treesPosted: Updated:
Hurricane Irene's destruction can be seen all across the borough tonight, with downed powerlines and trees on almost every block.
In Riverdale, tree branches are scattered everywhere and century old trees lie flat on the ground.
On West 231st and Independence Avenue, a powerline was snapped in half as a result of Hurricane Irene's powerful winds. Con Ed officials rushed to the scene and warned residents to stay away from the dangerous electrical wires.
While many Bronx residents are relieved that no serious injuries or fatalities occurred as a result of Hurricane Irene, they will never underestimate the power and destruction that mother nature can cause.

So for my birthday my girlfriend got me a case of my favorite beer from the East Coast and a NES! Quite unexpected, but it's awesome to hold that controller again. Going to shop around to find some games today, hopefully I can come across Super Mario Bros. 3 and not have to order it online! (oh and Tecmo Super Bowl would be a nice find!). Any other suggestions worth owning? Also, anywhere else I should look online beyond Amazon and eBay for NES games?
A NES birthday!

During a full moon there is a surge of powerful energy, making it the perfect time to take action in your life. The Full Moon is a time to release that which no longer serves you, anything you no longer need in your life or an aspect of yourself that you have outgrown.
We cannot move on or embrace new opportunities until we let go of the old and signal our readiness to embrace the new. Often, taking actions within a ceremony or ritual can give them more potency.
Join me on Saturday 31 March for a very special Gong Meditation.
What Will Happen in the Gong Meditation?
We'll begin by indulging in sacred, ceremonial grade pure Cacao, to open the heart to the energies to come. We'll then take part in a cleansing guided meditation, before letting the healing, sacred sounds of the gongs, Himalayan bowls and earthy percussion wash over you.
After this, there will be time to re-hydrate and share your journey, if you wish to.
What is "Pure Ceremonial Cacao"?
Pure Cacao is sometimes called "raw chocolate". It is about as far from the dairy filled chocolate available from the sweet counter as it's possible to get. When we buy a bar of milk chocolate, the cacao has been diluted many times and ingredients such as milk, sugar and oils have been added so that it is unrecognisable. Raw chocolate has been minimally processed and generally the only added ingredient is an unrefined sweetener, such as coconut sugar.
Ceremonial Cacao takes things a stage further. Grown, picked, fermented and dried by families from the Ashaninka tribe, the husks are then peeled by hand and stone-ground into a paste which is then set into a block. That's it; no additives, just pure cacao.
Why is pure cacao so special?
In this raw state, cacao has some health benefits too:
- 40 times the antioxidants of blueberries. Antioxidants absorb free radicals which cause cell and tissue damage.
- Cacao is the highest plant-based source of iron – it contains more than twice as much iron as spinach! To absorb it best, you need to have Vitamin C with it.
- It's also one of the highest plant-based sources of magnesium, needed for a healthy heart and brain. In the West, this is the mineral we're most deficient in.
- It contains more calcium than cow's milk – over 50% more. Calcium is vital for healthy teeth and bones
- It's a natural mood enhancer. You already knew that the chocolate bars in the sweet aisle could boost your mood; imagine getting rid of the additives and chemicals and getting that boost in a pure form. Pure cacao is a fantastic source of serotonin, tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylethylamine, neurotransmitters which are associated with wellbeing, happiness, and can even alleviate depression
So now you know all about cacao, come and experience its effects during a gong meditation – it will enhance the experience for you!
There are only ten places available for this very special Full Moon session. It takes place between 7.30pm and 9pm and costs just £15 per person.
I hope to see you there.

This project is focused on the development, validation, and standardization of quantitative methods to measure core components of variation in the social development of young children. This is critical for understanding autism and will inform the development and evaluation of early interventions for children with autism and related conditions. The proposed application covers the 18 to 48 month age range;i.e. the period when autism is actually first diagnosed. Currently, there exist few options for the tracking of autistic severity over time in this age range, few methods that allow severity trajectories to be reliably associated with candidate genetic and neurobiological correlates of autistic impairment, and few established methods for making meaningful baseline measurements against which to quantify the impact of early intervention for young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In this application, as we attempt to extend to early childhood a measurement system rooted in the ascertainment of quantitative autistic traits, we couple such measurements with laboratory assessment of visual social engagement (VSE), a fundamental parameter of human social development, whose origins are traceable to earliest infancy and whose implications are wide-ranging with respect to all aspects of early human social development.
The specific aims are as follows: 1) To examine the general population distribution and longitudinal course of quantitative variation in reciprocal social behavior (and related indices of social behavioral development) in an ethnically diverse sample of preschool age twins (n=420 pairs), assessed prospectively at key ages within the interval from 18-48 months;2) To examine stability and change in the same set of quantitative measures when implemented among children with ASD (n=90) first diagnosed at 18-24 months, and to clarify the relationship between these measures and traditional diagnostic assessments for ASD;3) To examine variation in visual social engagement (VSE)-a neurodevelopment capacity compromised in children with ASD-among preschool children (125 general population twin pairs and 75 clinical ASD subjects) representing the entire range of social variation that occurs in nature.
This project is focused on the development, validation, and standardization of quantitative methods to measure core components of variation in the social development of young children. This is critical for advancing understanding of autism and all neuropsychiatric conditions of childhood, and will inform the development and evaluation of early interventions for children with autism and related disorders.

Students of Concern - CARE Form
During the course of their time at GVSU students may experience a variety of pressure and stress from academic work, relationships, and other parts of life. In some cases, students might be confronting certain issues for the first time, while for others these issues may be ongoing. If you find yourself worried about the well-being of a Grand Valley student (a student in your class, someone you live with/near, someone in your student organization, etc.), we encourage you to share your concerns through the form below. Your report may be the activating event that helps that student get connected to appropriate campus resources, or you may be providing supplemental information that assists in our ability to more appropriately reach out to support that student.
Below are several examples of when it would be important to complete the CARE Form (please note that you are encouraged to complete the CARE Form whenever you have a non-emergency concern about a student. Reasons for concern are not limited to those listed here):
- Change in student's demeanor from happy to sullen, outgoing to withdrawn, engaged to detached
- Disruptions in the classroom or at campus events/programs
- Change in student's attendance pattern, or failure to attend class, work or practices
- Instances of self-harm or thoughts/discussion related to suicide
- Questionable email messages or social media posts
You can also contact Aaron Haight, Associate Dean of Students, at 616-331-3585 or email@example.com with any questions.
When should you use the CARE form?
This form is intended to encourage faculty, staff, and students to voluntarily refer a student who may be struggling with academic, personal, or emotional difficulties or who may exhibit concerning behavior. Please provide detailed information regarding the concern you are reporting.
When will your concern be reviewed?
Concerns are reviewed during normal business hours, when GVSU is open. If your concern involves an immediate safety risk to self or others, please stop and call 911 immediately.
Who reviews it?
Your concern is submitted to the Dean of Students Office, who works in conjunction with other offices, such as University Counseling, Housing & Residence Life, and the Student Academic Success Center. This group responds to non-emergency concerns and takes a proactive approach to discuss potential problems, intervene early, and develop appropriate courses of action for referred students. The goal is to support students who may be in distress or whose behavior is of concern to others, and do so before things rise to crisis levels.
What will happen after you submit your concern?
Depending on the circumstances, the Dean of Students Office may reach out to the student being referred. Staff will assist in connecting students with relevant resources across campus and provide outreach and follow-up as needed and appropriate to promote student success. There may be circumstances where no outreach is done, but appropriate staff are made aware of the concerns. Please note that someone may or may not follow up with you as the reporter.

SRP Recap: Teen Food Challenge
Our teens had their regularly scheduled monthly programs this summer, and one of them was a food challenge I'd been wanting to do for a long time.
I set it up similar to a television cooking competition. Each table had several mixing bowls, one knife, and two cutting boards. I set out a variety of other kitchen tools for the groups to share. Since our library doesn't have a full kitchen, I made sure the microwave and toaster oven were plugged in and ready to use.
I purchased a variety of food items for the teens to work with, and divided them into three groups: snack, dinner, and dessert. The teens could use items left over from previous rounds, but couldn't access the new food choices until we got to each round.
As they "cooked" (I use this term generously because one teen used some hot water and one microwaved a piece of S.pam, but other than that no one actually cooked anything), I walked around and asked them about what they were cooking. When I called time, I had them describe their dish, then everyone got a chance to taste it. I managed to survive the night without tasting any of their creations, and I'm sure my stomach is grateful.
If I were to do this program again, I think I would specify what types of things their meals needed to include or given them a goal to aim for like having everyone make a sandwich or a salad. Obviously it would also be nice to have a kitchen to work with, but it's possible to make a pseudo-kitchen out of small appliances.

League of Legends' champion pool grows with every update, but there are a few who rarely get a chance to roam the Rift. It's only natural for players to gravitate towards one or two champions per role, of course, as mastering 131 characters is no easy feat. This doesn't mean that those who have been abandoned to the confines of the champion select screen are bad, however: many have merely slipped under the radar.

10.04.2017 | Safe and efficient transport of heavy cable drums, spools and Co.
Special-purpose vehicles manufactured by Hubtex
Ensuring the safety of people and materials is the top priority when companies transport heavy spools, cable drums and reels on their premises. To ensure companies also benefit from efficient transport processes, special-purpose vehicle manufacturer Hubtex supplies tailored solutions to meet its customers' needs. Regardless of whether conventional cable drums or heavy spools for pipes need transporting – Hubtex' vehicles ensure the safe and swift handling of loads weighing up to 60 tonnes.
Special handling is required when companies transport heavy high-voltage cables or spools for piping on their premises. Despite aisleways being extremely narrow, cable and pipe systems need to be in position as soon as possible. In addition, the route they take often involves outdoor sections. Transporting loads weighing between 10 and 60 tonnes also poses another challenge to companies that manufacture vehicles to transport drums. Only a small part of the drums' sides are in contact with the surface on which they are being transported, putting major strain on these points. To overcome this issue and ensure the optimum transportation of a wide range of drum sizes, Hubtex has developed various vehicle variants to safely bear these loads. The special-purpose vehicle manufacturer adopts a modular approach, enabling it to deliver the right solution for specific warehousing needs in line with its customers' requirements.
A variety of load-carrying solutions
The primary difference between the various vehicle variants is their loading design. The drums can be loaded onto the vehicles either lengthways or sideways relative to the sides of the drum. For the lengthways approach, Hubtex has designed a robust and swivel-mounted crossbar: Two wire cables are attached to the flange using pins, enabling the drum to then be pulled onto the ramp. The special-purpose vehicle manufacturer also offers an alternative variant for the lengthways approach that involves the use of chucks for loading. In this approach, the transport vehicle initially goes around the drum. The loading chucks are then inserted into the hub bores on the sides of the drum, before lifting the drum for transport. Hubtex can also install a winding mechanism on this variant if required by the customer. The transport specialist has also devised a sure-fire way of loading heavy and bulky goods onto the vehicle sideways, deploying a V-block system. The system goes around drum, which is positioned in the middle, and the support arms go underneath the drum. The load is then simultaneously hoisted 30 centimetres in the air by an integrated lifting system.
Special-purpose vehicles offer maximum flexibility
The major appeal of Hubtex' special-purpose vehicles is the versatility they offer. The company offers adjustments options to accommodate different width requirements. All drum transport vehicles are suitable for combined indoor and outdoor operation thanks to the range of tyre variants available. The environmentally friendly electric vehicles can transport loads measuring up to 5 metres in diameter and weighing up to 60 tonnes.

CLEAVER STREET between Newcastle and Carr will continue its transition towards a medium-density, inner-city precinct, despite the objections of some of its residents.
At this week's full council meeting, Vincent approved the construction of four three-storey dwellings which will break with the tradition of deep setbacks along the street.
The development at number 34, which is not in a heritage area, will sit between an old single-storey home and two-storey apartments.
Eight neighbours complained about the proposal, saying the bulk would result in a three-storey boundary wall, the reduced street setback impacted on Cleaver's aesthetics, and they'll now be facing a row of garages and carports.
Council officers said this portion of the street was changing towards higher density, with a number of properties capable of supporting multiple grouped dwellings.

Before You Adopt A Dog
Published Tue Oct 25, 2016 | Posted in Pets | By Linda Jenkinson |
Before you begin searching for a dog to adopt, do a little "soul searching". Start by taking an inventory of your life style.
- How busy are you? Will you enjoy frequent outdoor exercising with a large dog or would you rather stay indoors and play with a small dog?
- Do you want a dog that enjoys cuddling or a dog that respects your space?
- Speaking of space, how much space do you have for a dog? Does your property have a large yard that affords the space an active dog needs to run and play or are you living in a studio apartment with no yard?
- What kind of training can you give a dog? Would you be better off with one that already has some training or do you have the expertise and stamina to train a dog on your own? Can you afford the services of a professional dog trainer if you should need one?
- How old are you and what is your health like? What will happen to your dog should he/she outlive you?
- How are your finances? Can you afford veterinary care if your dog needs it? Can you afford pet medical insurance?
"The greatest fear dogs know is the fear that you will not come back when you go out the door without them."
Stanley Coren
When you have answered the above questions, visit you local humane society and see what dogs they have available. Humane societies often have pure bred dogs that need re-homing as well as cross breeds. They will most likely be able to match your needs with a dog they have on site.
Humane societies also know about specific breed rescues in your area as well as those fostering available dogs and credible dog breeders. Another place you can check with is a veterinary clinic. In fact it might be a good thing to find satisfactory veterinary care before you purchase a dog.
Whatever dog you end up choosing, remember that the same as having or adopting a child, there are no guarantees that you will end up with the perfect dog. He may have or develop health problems and/or behavior issues that you don't expect.
So why should you get a dog? Because a dog is the most loyal friend you will ever make.


text: vanbael 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 Hi all, First of all: I love Platform Pro. Great stuff. Very intuitive to work with! A few days ago however, I encountered a problem I can't seem to fix. I installed the Wordpress plugin "The Events Calender". This plugin allows you to assign posts to a special category "events". These posts (or events) are displayed as a calendar or a list on a seperate category page, in my case http://hetspeeldorp.nl/category/events/'>http://hetspeeldorp.nl/category/events/ As you can see from this page, my features don't show up. In fact, in addition to my features, my Navigation doesn't show up either. Both sections (features and navigation) are part of my Side Header section and therefore they should show up on every page, right? I reckon this has something to do with the fact that post pages and 404 pages don't support meta data. After all, blog posts and events posts are both posts of a particular category ('posts' and 'events'). In my Feature Settings I assigned a special feature set for these pages (under 'Select Feature-Set for Posts & 404 Pages'), which indeed shows up nicely on my blog page (the navigation shows up nicely there as well): http://hetspeeldorp.nl/category/nieuws/ Any ideas how I can make the same feature show up on my http://hetspeeldorp.nl/category/events/'>http://hetspeeldorp.nl/category/events/ page? An option in the settings area would be great, but I'm willing to dive into the code as well if necessary. I run Platform Pro 1.3.5 and Platform Base 1.3.2. Upgrading is not really an option since I have to launch this website next Monday, and I want to reduce the risk of messing up things as much as possible. Any help would be highly appreciated! Cheers, Christophe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockey player scores with chiropractic
After almost a decade playing in the National Hockey League, Gary Roberts feared that his days as a professional athlete were finished.
Thirty years old at the time and a left winger for the Calgary Flames, Roberts suffered a neck injury that left him with severe nerve damage and numbness in his arms. Repeated surgeries and rehab had little effect.
"I couldn't hold a steak knife to cut my food," he recalls. "My career was over. I was a pretty lost soul."
But then, after a visit to a sports chiropractor in 1996 to relieve stress and reduce scar tissue in his upper spine and neck, Roberts regained his strength and mobility. He returned to the ice to play professional hockey for another 13 years.
"It saved my life," says Roberts, who eventually retired from the NHL four years ago. He is now an advocate of chiropractic treatment as a complement to proper nutrition and training techniques — a program offered in his eponymously named Gary Roberts High Performance Centre at the Fitness Institute in North York. His highly regarded fitness and nutrition regimen is customized to his clients, be they elite and junior hockey players or business executives who want to be physically active.
"[Whether] you're a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, the results are the same — your body gets beaten up," says Roberts. "Chiropractors have taken sports to a new level."
Dr. Mark Scappaticci agrees. Integrated techniques such as active release techniques (ART), manipulation and acupuncture are increasingly used to help athletes recover from injury and to perform at their best, says Dr. Scappaticci, a sports chiropractor who practices in Niagara Falls and Toronto. Roberts has been a client of his, as well as Olympic gold medallists Donovan Bailey and Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
Currently, Dr. Scappaticci is on staff at the Toronto Blue Jays front office as a consulting chiropractor.
Sports chiropractors understand the biomechanics of different sports and the injuries that can result from them, he says — injuries typically related to the build-up of abnormal tension in tissues, which increases with repetitive use of those muscles.
In order to restore and enhance function, sports chiropractors apply research-based therapies involving soft tissues (muscles), the nervous system and the joints.
"When those three things are operating optimally, we can optimize biomechanics," Dr. Scappaticci explains. He also points out that there are long-range benefits from treatment beyond sessions on the track or rink, where results are immediate. "We are talking about significant
improvements in performance parameters."
Chiropractic techniques, along with an integrated approach involving other types of therapies such as massage and osteopathy, can help athletes across the sports spectrum, from football and hockey to squash and golf. He says they work "phenomenally" with elite athletes who want to recover from injury and perform maximally. But the results are "even more astounding," he notes, for non-pro-athlete patients with active lifestyles — say, those experiencing knee stiffness from jogging or shoulder pain from swinging a golf club.
Newer methods used by chiropractors, such as ART and acupuncture, appear to be helpful in treating the strains, tears, imbalances in muscle groups and tendon inflammation that lead to injuries in all types of athletes, says Dr. John Theodoropoulos, an orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.
"Everyone is high-level, everyone takes sports seriously now," he says. As well, a "multidisciplinary approach" involving chiropractors, physiotherapists, massage therapists, trainers, strength coaches and surgeons is increasingly common nowadays.
And although the medical community would like to see more scientific research on the effect of chiropractic in sports, Dr. Theodoropoulos says those who receive chiropractic care swear by the results. "When athletes refer to their doctor," he says, "their doctor is usually a doctor of chiropractic."
Meanwhile, Dr. Scappaticci is planning a study beginning in October, wherein members of Britain's Olympic track-and-field team will receive different levels and types of chiropractic treatment, after which their performance will be compared and analyzed. He's interested in helping athletes achieve their full potential through an integrated approach to chiropractic and to be able to do it injury-free.
"If you want to improve outcomes," he says, "you have to have more tools in your toolbox."

We cleaned up the South End, including Swan's Way late in the day on Thursday so it should set up nice for Friday. Tomorrow we'll be out early in the North End to provide some nice grooming before the snow really gets going and covers it up! The groomer will come down and hit Pipeline and some of Lower Osceola before heading over to the Livermore side.
By the afternoon most trails will hopefully have a few inches of fresh powder to play in!
Lessons will be limited on Saturday due to the inclement weather.
With snow coming in tomorrow, fat bike conditions will be poor. Trails will likely be closed to bikes through the weekend. The cold weather predicted next week should help firm things up and allow a few trails to open back up for biking. Please check in with us before heading out to help protect the trails.

Teacher Appreciation Day & The Critter Bug
I wasn't a great student.
There was something about the academic structure, in its perceived rigidity and seemingly vast lack of space for the insular, introverted, timid daydreaming I often found myself immersed in. I did most of my learning outside of the classroom, in fantasy pulp novels and roadtrip adventures and wholehearted relationships forged out of a love for embracing a certain "rebelish mood."
I am also okay with the nostalgic, distorted way in which I romanticize the past. Jessica rolls her eyes when I go off on my romantic tangents, as though I lived as some sort of Daniel Boone meets Calvin (of Calvin & Hobbes) meets Huckleberry Finn.
School wasn't all that bad though. EVEN IF I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO MY TIGER AND EAT BUGS AND MAKE TIP-TAP SOUNDS ON THE WHITE PICKET FENCE WITH MY TRUSTY ADVENTURE STICK. School had its merits. I created wonderful friendships. I was introduced to Ernest Hemingway. And I had a handful of teachers who I loved.
These teachers made it pretty spectacular at times. They made me feel cared for, even if my output or talent or lack of focus didn't warrant it. They cared. They wanted to be there. They engaged with their work and with the students in a way that inspired and made me want to be there. They met with me outside of class if I had questions I was too quiet to voice. They wanted me to excel and share in their joy for T.S. Eliot and Carl Sandburg and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
To them I say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the top of my brain.
As for my wife, who currently teaches as an adjunct instructor at two community colleges, you make me so proud. You remind me of the teachers I remember. You care deeply. You want students to excel and understand and see the things you love within a particular book or essay. You fret when they don't get it. You want to make an impact. Prepare them. Guide them. You aspire to be the kind of teacher you loved and whose teaching made an impact on you as a student. Plus, you do all of this while simultaneously referencing Daredevil and making fart jokes.
Thank you, Jessica. You matter so much. As a wife, a friend, a daughter, a critter, a sister, and a teacher.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

On the morning of my first day of elementary school, uneasiness rattled my soul. Going to school symbolized my launch into the outside world; I worried I wouldn't measure up to the competition.
As I circled our cozy apartment in my red buckle shoes, spouting misgivings and general malaise, my mother offered no solace. "You'll be fine," she said. "Go tell your father breakfast is ready."
I found my father in the bathroom, shaving his face. A biology professor, his emotional remoteness was matched only by his ability to be counted on during existential crises.
"Daddy?" I said.
"What-ee?" he said.
I climbed up on the sink. "What if I turn out to be a fawlture in life?"
He continued to shave his face, keeping his eyes on his reflection in the mirror. "I think you mean 'failure'."
I'd been teaching myself to read, with uneven results, and indeed I meant "failure"... but to admit I'd failed to properly pronounce the word "failure" would prove that I'd already reached the fate I feared.
"No, I mean fawlture," I said.
He peered at me sideways. "Nancy, I promise you will never be a fawlture in life."
And I wasn't.

It's another Uninvented Colors first: baptism photography! When I met with Sofia over the summer, she explained the importance of this event to her family. Isabella's relatives were coming from all over the country for the occasion, which would take place at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church.
I arrived about the same time as this sweet little girl and her family and captured some candid shots of them coming into church. Don't you love her little lace bonnet? So lovely!
It was refreshing to experience a different kind of worship than I'm used to. Protestant as I may be, I must say I truly experienced the spirit of Advent during mass.
Isabella and her parents and godparents looked so happy to participate in this sacramental ceremony.
Isabella was anointed...
...then baptized!
She was officially welcomed into the family of faith with this gorgeous stole and the lighting of a candle. Such a joyful moment!
There were so many people there to celebrate with her! There are way too many family photos for me to share them all, so I'm just going to leave you with these sweet kisses for abuelo. :)
This beautiful little girl is so loved, and I am so glad she'll always have these photos to remind her of that. :)

While a critical failure, 1998's Godzilla sported some impressive
technology when it came to making the creature and it's offspring.
Regardless of your thoughts on the film, this short making-of video (posted by ThePropKing on March 10, 2011) is
really cool.
There is a new Godzilla film in the works and the creature design is apparently going to be more of the traditional critter. Hopefully it will lhave some sort of giant monster battle...

Looking Back at What Lay Ahead
by Robert Earle
part 1 of 2
Back in 2013 if I had been asked to predict the most significant events that would transpire over the next twenty years, I gladly would have taken a shot at it. As an intel analyst, my gloomy specialty was the future, although I admit it was hard to be wrong bearing bad news about tomorrow.
That could be why they asked Callista Morellos to forecast the next two decades instead of me, of course. She was quite the vogue in those days, ever the ingenious optimist. "You watch," she'd say. "The 21st century is going to be better than you think." Really? Events proved her wrong. Year after year the sweet things she cooked up turned sour.
Still, I was surprised when the historian in the Office of Global Assessments called to offer me a tidy sum to look back twenty years — what were the ten most significant events that really had happened since 2013? — as a way of documenting how much of what Washington had expected turned out wrong. The guy specifically wanted someone who had been around in 2013 but now was out of the loop, uncorrupted by having had to rationalize one mistaken forecast after another.
I was out of the loop all right. Eighty years old. Spent my days reading, watching movies on my projector glasses, listening to Brahms and Penderecki and other threnodists while reclining in my sound chair, and walking a bit on my rebuilt hips down to the corner and straight home again. All I could handle.
But I said yes, of course. To me the only thing worse than not facing the future is not facing the past. My only condition was that the list didn't have to be in ranked order, which would invite too many nitpickers to dismiss my findings with quibbles, not substance.
"Just the ten most significant events," I insisted.
The Global Assessments guy agreed. But fast. Draft in a week.
I looked out the window across the ragged tree tops in Rock Creek Park, transecting Washington. Still vaguely green, the decades notwithstanding. Then I looked at the nicked windowsill and my bottle of Mont Blanc ink collecting dust on its shoulders. How long since I'd written anything? I pulled open my desk drawer and extracted a pad of legal paper that had gone from yellow to brown, so that long... really long.
Sally heard me rustling and stepped into my study. "Everything all right, Trace?"
"Sure, fine. Tiptop." Maybe there was a certain youthfulness in that "tiptop" of mine. Let's put it this way: I'd been worn down but wasn't quite blunt yet.
"I heard you on the phone. Is something up?"
"Little project the State Department wants me to take on."
"Oh, good." Sally was always glad when I had something to do. Otherwise she told her friends I just sat there listening to the saddest music ever composed by people who used to be called Hungarians, Poles, and of course, Germans. All those Germans.
"I'm going down to meet Terri in the lobby. She's got William and Robert with her. We're going out for coffee and cake. Want to join us?"
"Wish I could, but I've got to get on this right away."
"You don't even have time for cake with your grandchildren?"
"Buy an extra piece for me and let them eat it. Those fatties always gobble my dessert because I'm so slow anyway."
"That's not true!"
"Look at me and then look at them. I'm sure not eating their cake."
Sally knew there was no point in arguing. Either kid could sit on me, and I'd be gone forever. So off she went, and I waited for the apartment door to click shut.
Good. Great. Now...? Come on, buddy, get with it, I urged myself. Well, seems like it wasn't going to be so easy, attacking an assignment again. Twenty years, what a miserable twenty years, how could I sort them all out? The truth is I spent hours every day drifting on the surface of civilizational decay. I seldom dove deep into the pools of disaster below. Too scary.
Then, boom! Suddenly the old horse was out of the barn and his wobbly mental legs — my wobbly mental legs — offered me a few reminders of what it was like to run. I'd written analyses and assessments my entire professional life. Goddammit, I knew how to do it. 2033, I wrote, and drew an arrow backward to the year 2013. What had really mattered on this planet, not just to U.S. "national interests," during that period? The truth, lay it right out there.
#1: Worldwide water shortages led to fifty million dead from drought across Africa and Asia. All those poor people expired in searing deserts where no one could reach them with potable water. They just marched along, fell by the wayside, covered themselves from the sun, and died. Somalia, of course. Then Rajasthan, maybe the second worst place in the world. Who knew if it was really fifty million? That's what was said. But who knew? Who counted every single soul? Didn't matter. There were enough to make my list, that's for sure.
#2: Irony of ironies: sea levels driven by climate change submerged Bangladesh. One flood struck after another. Before you knew it, Louis Kahn's masterpiece national assembly building, the Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban, just melted, sinking a bewildered parliament in tons of sludge. The only thing that saved sea-level Washington was a New Orleans-style levee the Bangladeshis couldn't afford. The crust of Bangladesh that survived was annexed by India more out of pity than greed, but no good deed goes unpunished.
#3: Pakistan attacked India for having helped itself to the remaining four million Muslims of Bangladesh — who had "belonged" to Pakistan until 1971 — and the two countries had their long-awaited nuclear exchange. This Indo-Pak conflict enveloped Kabul, where the Indian-backed government fell and Pakistani Pashtuns did their own submerging, seizing southern Afghanistan. Eighteen million were dead after three rounds of nukes incinerated Islamabad, Karachi, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and of course, poor Kabul, already an ashtray. These places still made Geiger counters crackle like popcorn.
So there you had water's absence and presence triggering death in horrific numbers. On balance I would rather have died of thirst. There's just something more personal about dehydration as opposed to being penetrated by radiation, or pieces of buildings, or other people's hurtling bodies knocking you dead.
#4: Well, Africa again in a somewhat more positive light because I definitely had to put the creation of the Southern Union of Africa on the list: South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Botswana all carved up and restitched together with the capital in Cape Town. Endless war about this seemed more incidental than the ultimate consequence: a fierce giant hoarding its natural resources — including water — at the tip of an otherwise failed continent that was being consumed by the Sahara plunging south at two hundred miles a year like a freight train made of sand.
I had to take off my titanium head unit. Weighed too much to wear while I was looking down at the desktop so long. If I had a stroke without it, I had a stroke. Let thinking kill me if it wanted to. I was really into this, still fascinated by the way you don't know what you think before you think it.
No one had figured that out yet. Where were your thoughts before they became your thoughts? Who the hell knew? You just had this lifetime of reading and brooding and memo writing and inconclusive conversations and childhood memories and general impressions flying hither and yon, and out they popped. What next?
#5: Arab-Israeli reconciliation. Big, big deal: the destiny of demography. The youth in Arabia toppled the House of Saud and the youth of Israel echoed them by toppling the ultra-Orthodox religious-right regime. Not Saudi Arabia anymore, just Arabia. Not Israel anymore, Judeo-Palestine, a one-state solution with walls falling exactly the way the Berlin Wall fell in... What was it, 1989? Hey, I remembered I was there in 1989 and had a piece of the Berlin Wall somewhere, sort of like a moon rock.
But lots more walls toppled on the West Bank, and they were tougher and taller, to boot. Those Israelis were terrific engineers, but the power of social media and countless voices rising to a roar were up to the task. The two monotheisms finally agreed to agree on God and set the rest aside.
Well, you could say they had no choice. Had to cooperate as Arabia's oil dwindled in importance and the kids messaged each other into a frenzy of cross-marriages, joint ventures, and anti-Iranian solidarity. Come and join us, Lebanon. Syria, we can be friends. Probably going to happen. A lush quiescence still prevails in the Levant. Who would have thought it? Great food, sun, seashore, and this modulation of millions in cyber-touch with one another keeping things calm.
Now, #6: I wasn't quite sure how to say it, hadn't ever been deeply technical. Perhaps like this: quantum engineering doubled the efficiency of electricity while natural gas in North America and Russia neutered the Middle East, helping to bring it to its senses. Was this a significant development if not an "event?" Absolutely. Events qua events weren't the point. Significance an sich was what mattered.
But #7 certainly was an event, a quintessential event: a solar storm in 2018 incapacitated Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay by frying their electrical grids. Helio-physical hell, a thick wave of force battering half a continent like a tsunami. Oh the darkness! Oh the confusion! Where were my Dante, Milton and Blake? I could dial them up, but no one cared about the truths of poetry anymore, so I focused on the ensuing anarchy, vandalism, guerrilla actions, and that magnificent quote when the three blighted countries restored order through loose but effective bilingual cooperation: "Never has tragedy brought humanity such a great gift" — Ricardo de Funestre Carrillo, father of the LusoLatina Pact. You bet this was significant: southern Africa and southern Latin America both strong, influential and dynamic.

While in Jefferson City, the capitol of Missouri, during the last week of July, my son and I duck into a Panera Bread joint to cool off with a slushee. The gentlemen above caught my eye. The elderly Bolshevik on the right wearing dark socks with sandals was an obvious choice. The other gentleman was so important that he needed to be in constant contact with the outside world at all times! "It's 3:00 pm in Jeff City, MO, better not risk even having the phone at arms length". Oy. Note: I forgot to bring my glasses with me so all of this was a big blur while I drew it.

The end is here! You've fought against it for so long that you assumed perhaps you were different. But now that your breath grows short and your heartbeat slows to a crawl, even you must admit that there's no escape from...day thirty-one of Spooky covers! And the last thing you see is Suspense #22 :
Click to enlarge.
My friend, truer words have never been writ.
Why, if I had a nickle for every time I woke up strapped to a corpse...
Suspense #22 falls into that coveted category that I call Oh Shit! Now, admittedly, almost any Spooky cover could classify as an Oh Shit! cover. Let's face it, whether your town is being attacked by giant monsters, or you're being chased by a ghoul, or you're being dragged down into your own grave, or whether you're being led to your doom, or you just can't help yourself, or you're just a fricking idiot, I think the first thing in your mind is probably "Oh shit."
But that's too easy.
No, the Oh Shit category is reserved for those situations wherein one cannot fathom what to do next, even while understanding that you are completely and profoundly screwed. You can run from monsters; you can struggle against demons; you can even resist temptation.
But what the hell do you do when you wake up tied to a corpse?
All you can do is scream!
Oh, my pretties! A single month isn't nearly long enough to tell you of all my favorite Spooky covers. But for now we must put out the lantern, close the crypt, and say good night!
Happy Hallowe'en!

But soon a familiar feeling starts to overtake Alice—she feels controlled and stifled by Lucy at every turn. Then Alice's husband, John, goes missing, and Alice starts to question everything around her: her relationship with her enigmatic friend, her decision to ever come to Tangier, and her very own state of mind.
Tangerine is a sharp dagger of a book—a debut so tightly wound, so replete with exotic imagery and charm, so full of precise details and extraordinary craftsmanship, it will leave you absolutely breathless."
As a personal assistant for a famous (and secretly agoraphobic) film composer, Jess's workdays are now filled with shopping for luxury goods and cooking in his perfectly designed kitchen. Jess kills at cooking, a talent that only serves her intensifying urge to dig in to Los Angeles's celebrity buffet.
When her food garners the attention of an actress on the rise, well, she's all too willing to throw it in with the composer and upgrade again, a decision that will have far-reaching ramifications that could explode all her relationships.
All the while, her mother looms ever closer, forcing Jess to confront the traumatic secrets she's been running from all her life.
Oh! You Pretty Things is a dizzying ride at the carnival of fame, a fast-paced and sharply funny work that dares to imagine what happens when we go over the top in a town of gilded excess."
That was five years ago. Now the faculty and students at Sunnybrook High want to remember the lost cheerleaders. But for Monica, it's not that easy. She just wants to forget. Only, Monica's world is starting to unravel. There are the letters in her stepdad's desk, an unearthed, years-old cell phone, a strange new friend at school. . . . Whatever happened five years ago isn't over. Some people in town know more than they're saying. And somehow Monica is at the center of it all.
There are no more cheerleaders in Sunnybrook, but that doesn't mean anyone else is safe."

Nick Courtright's poetry feature at Escape Into Life (+ some haunting poems I'll post closer to Halloween). The sky yesterday evening just before it let loose. This art by Kenichi Hoshine.
Hearing my own poem, "League Bowling," on the radio, and remembering how scary it was to write it.
But today, the baby is alive! The sky is blue. The morning glories keep tumbling off the fence. The balsam, beaten down to the ground by the rainstorm, will release its seed close to the earth.
