Trail events don't happen without partners. You may know them as 'sponsors'. But we prefer partners - they're not just flipping a few prizes our way and crossing their fingers. nope, they get their feet dirty with us, because they love the single track life as much as we do.
They are due our thanks and we reckon, if you happen to be in the market for what they offer, show some roundabouts and check them out. After all, we only partner up with the best...
They are our hosts. We are on their patch. And we thank them for their hospitality and allowing us to play in their stunning back yard. Be courteous to them, thank them for having us and treat their home as if it were yours. That way, we'll be allowed to come back!
It is the vision of Dorset Council that has allowed the seed of the idea that was a festival of trail running to germinate in their small township of Derby, where they have already welcomed mountain bikers by creating some of the best trails in the world. Whether they knew that would then attract us dirty minded runners, who knows? But when they were asked - can we come and run those lurvley trails of yours? - well, they welcomed with open arms and have since helped in countless ways to ensure the Tassie Trail Fest becomes an icon event not just for Tassie, but for Australian trail running. Get to know Dorset at www.dorset.tas.gov.au
When we looked around at the trails of Derby, and contemplated 'what other rad runs could we inject into the schedule?' - thinking that this is a FESTIVAL after all - the answer was clear: just down the road was the famous Blue Tier. An old road, it had been swallowed up by the ravenous Tassie bush, a corridor remaining perfect for the mountain bikers to smash down. For runners, it just happens to be the perfect up and back half marathon. Further, in year two of the Fest (2017), there will be a full loop, with World Trail weaving single trail magic once again as they have in Derby. While we can't use the new trail in Year One (2016), we have recce run the new loop and it is mind-blowing. But for now, we stick to the old school Tier. Which has its own charm trust us! And we get to experience a little of the new stuff on the return leg. Anyway, point is, Blue Tier is in a neighbouring council to Derby - Break O'Day - and they were super psyched to get in on the trail running action. Awesome. www.bodc.tas.gov.au
Hobart-based trail running speciality store Find Your Feet is owned by some of the best in the trail running business. Hanny Alston is a Aussie champion orienteer and trail runner with elite wins to her credit. She's partnered by long time outdoor industry expert Graham Hammond. Both are usually found on the trail (Hanny takes trail run tour, seminars, coaches and offer all manner advice), but sometimes they can be dragged back to the store where they can guide you through a range of shoes and assorted trail kit from hydro packs to foul weather gear (hey, we're in Tasmania, remember?!). In Hobart, check by and say hello to Hanny and Graham via www.findyourfeet.com.au.

LITTLE RIVERS BREWING Co.
Little Rivers Brewing Co. is the brainchild of brainchild of head brewer Chris Carins, who moved back to Tasmania in 2012 after working as the brewer for Burleigh Brewing in Queensland. He also has 7 years' experience in winemaking at Pipers Brook Vineyard. The brewing premises and cellar door (drop in for a tasting!) is located in Scottsdale, en route to Derby from Launceston. The company focuses on a selection of premium craft beers and seasonal flavours, from dark largers, Kosch and Pale Ales to Hewewizen. Little Rivers is on tap and in bottleshops in Scottsdale, Weldborough, Launceston and Hobart. www.lrbrewing.com
The KOOEE! journey began on trail. The search for the perfect natural, high-protein snack started with its owners' deep-rooted Aussie love for the outdoors. From swinging kettle-bells to running ultra-marathons, they needed a healthier snack to fuel active lifestyles. Frustrated that most high-protein snacks were highly processed and full of sugar, they decided to create their own, using only the highest quality ingredients. The result? A delicious range of all-natural beef jerky made using the world's finest 100% grass-fed beef from Tasmania, Australia (also a global benchmark for clean air and rainwater). Check it out at www.kooeesnacks.com.au.

I was not looking forward to being without milk this winter, but then had a doe breed later than the others ... SO ... I'm still milking one of my best does. The fresh goat milk is delicious. I should be able to milk her up to the time the others start kidding before drying her off to prepare her for her next kids. I didn't plan it this way ... but I'm glad it turned out this way!
I'll share a glass of milk when you bring Brown Bear home!

We are constantly adding new flavours and developing better ways for you to buy your favourite syrups.

STORY FROM: Hip & Knee Implant Litigation
NuVasive Awarded Summary Judgment in La. Federal Spinal Fixation Lawsuit
March 20, 2018
LAFAYETTE, La. — Manufacturing defect claims asserted against NuVasive in connection with its spinal fixation system are time-barred under Louisiana's one-year limitations period because the plaintiff was on notice of his claim as early as Jan. 12, 2015, but waited until Feb. 10, 2016, to file suit.
On March 14, Judge Carol Whitehurst of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana awarded NuVasive summary judgment on Thomas Landry's Louisiana Product Liability claim.
In a May 27, 2014, surgery, Dr. Jason Cormier used the NuVasive system to fuse Landry's L2-S1 vertebra. Six months later, Landry says he began ...

What people are saying about Assurance Wireless?
We all know how important it is to have a phone these days. That is why the government and the mobile company by the name Virgin Mobile have started a service by the name Assurance Wireless. Many of you might already know about it. Through this service, people who cannot afford a phone can receive a free cellular phone. Not only that, the phone also comes with free minutes and texts, which are 250 each. The free minutes can be used for local or national calls. People who have this free phone do not have to worry about the charges either, because the free minutes and the texts are recharged each month.
The people who are eligible for this service are those who have a low-income, or are unemployed or who are on disability benefits. All they have to do is visit the official site and fill out the Assurance Wireless form. After that, they need to mail the application along with the documents required by the service providers. On approval, the person will be provided with a free cellular phone in 3 to 4 weeks and they can start using the free minutes and texts however they please.
This service has helped many people in need, and that is why it has received a lot of praise from the people as well. The unemployed people have said how thankful they are to the service for providing them with a free phone, which has enabled them to stay in contact with a potential employer, their doctor as well as their family and friends. They do not have to worry about the charges because the free minutes and texts are recharged each month, and that is why they can keep using it depending on the terms and conditions, they got the phone in.
There are many testimonials received by the service, which shows that it is a good thing because it has enabled the needy to own the phone, which is a necessity in today's world.

MURRAY JOHNSTON'S death on Thursday at the age of 40 is a tragic loss
to Scottish photography.
He was a crucial figure in stimulating and encouraging the
contemporary medium. As director of Scotland's then sole photography
gallery, Stills, Edinburgh, from 1982 to 1986 during a difficult time,
he was instrumental in laying the national and international groundwork
for what is now a thriving and important aspect of Scottish art.
''I've no doubt there was something extraordinary and remarkable about
his abilities to inspire others,'' said Sara Stevenson, curator of
photography at the Scottish National Gallery.
Johnston's courageous fight against cancer in the last 18 months did
not prevent his taking on a huge amount of work. ''One could only be
astonished and full of admiration that he continued to be so strong and
so positive in his contribution to the future of photography here,''
said David Bruce, director of the Scottish Film Council and chairman of
the Arts Council Photography Working Party on which Murray served,
playing an important role until very recently.
''Murray alone of all his colleagues, had an awareness, too, of the
heritage and tradition of Scottish photography, yet alongside this, so
much of his thinking, effort, and energy was devoted to the future,''
said Bruce.
Murray established a completely new department at Edinburgh College of
Art where he was appointed Head of Photography in September, 1986. This
post was completely in tune with his commitment to searching out young
undiscovered talent and fostering the promotion of up-and-coming
photographers. He found the students an immense source of support. He
once told me that their realistic, positive attitude and matter-of-fact
help had been very beneficial to his fight against the illness and his
ability to continue working.
He was currently in the midst of organising Scottish Camera Art Now,
an exhibition of 16 Scottish photographers to be held in Houston, USA,
next month.
It will be the first Scottish presence at the world's foremost
international event, the Houston Fotofest. The show, backed by the
Scottish Arts Council and British Council, will then tour to Chicago,
Mexico, and Berlin. It will go ahead with the aid of co-curator David
Brittain and be premiered at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in
October this year.
Together with his wife Kate, Murray Johnston founded Scottish
Photographic Works in 1987 in Edinburgh. This company's aim is to
promote the best of independent photography in Scotland. He was also a
founder member of the Scottish Society for the History of Photography
and revived the lost nineteenth-century tradition of platinum folios and
published the first since Valentine of Dundee. He also published
photogravure by Raymond Moore.
Each Edinburgh Festival he organised the showing of new photography,
including works by Andy Weiner in 1988 and Robin Gillanders in 1989.
A very modest man as regards his own work, Johnston was a fine
landscape photographer in his own right and contributed to numerous
shows including Image And Exploration: British Photography 1980-85 at
London's Photographers' Gallery. Sadly he did not live to see the
publication of his book on Edinburgh which comes out in the autumn.
This contains text by Maurice Lindsay and David Bruce; classic
photographs by Hill, Adamson, Thomas Keith, and Washington Wilson, with
contemporary images of Edinburgh by Johnston himself.
Born in Fife, he studied at Napier Polytechnic and from 1969-72 worked
as a medical photographer. He went on to Dundee's Duncan of Jordanstone
College 1972-76. He was the first photographer-in-residence at Kielder
Forest 1980 and then spent some time in America in 1981-82, including
assistantships at Carmel University, California, the University of
Michigan and the Centre for Creative Studies, Detroit. He has work in
the collections of the Pacific Bank, San Diego, and the Musee Nicephore
Niepce, France.
Andrew Chisholm, Head of Visual Communications, Edinburgh College of
Art, said yesterday: ''Murray brought an enthusiasm and intellect to the
teaching of photography that sitmulated responses from students, thereby
creating a most exciting future.''

Although Alaska is experiencing another painful trough in the oil price cycle, it is only temporary in nature and should not be used to permanently sandblast the shine off of Alaska. To go there would cause a rapid exodus of Alaska's voluntary private sector causing a Detroit-style death spiral.
The responsibility for our hemorrhaging $3.8 Billion state deficit lies squarely on Juneau's shoulders that has more than doubled the size of state government since 2006 under the ferry dust assumption that oil prices would remain boosted to their lofty heights and not cycle up and down as they always do with the ebb and flow of supply and demand.
Public unions, hundreds of 100% state funded non-profits, and various other government dependent groups have surrounded our state legislators in Juneau in a budget Alamo and have demanded they surrender to new taxes without making any meaningful cuts in state spending.
Only the free market sets the price for a barrel of oil. When prices go up, oil companies tend to drill more and hire more employees. Conversely, when oil prices plummet, they lay off excess employees and streamline their operations to ride out the low price cycle. The big three oil producers in Alaska have been doing just that. The public sector refuses to do so. Yet, cut we must- to near a pre-bubble 2006 spending level adjusted for population growth and inflation (around $4.1 Billion). Any politician can spend someone else's money and get perpetually reelected, yet it's in the streamlining of government in the face of staunch organized opposition where true leaders are born.
Elected leaders tend to forget that they were elected to serve the non-government sector, not the government sector. It's the public sector that supports the private sector, not the other way around. We are a people with a government, not a government with a people.
Governor Bill Walker and Senator Lesil McGuire/ GCI have both sponsored plans to tax the private sector to pay for excess government rather than to cut back to a sustainable level. The biggest tax would be on your PFD check- Alaska's way of providing a mineral rights dividend because our statehood compact restricts private ownership of mineral rights. For instance, the lion's share of a $2000 PFD check could be hoovered up into state coffers leaving you with a paltry $300-500. Governor Walker has also proposed a plethora of other new creative taxes including a gasoline and a state income tax. His administration has evidently not researched the massive fleeing of labor and private investment capital that always results when a state drops an income tax on them- like dropping a wolf into a herd of caribou.
If we cut the state budget to sustainable amount ($4.5 Billion is this year's target goal with some more cuts needed next year), we do not need to sandblast the shine of Alaska's economy and punish Alaska's poorest with a PFD tax. Governor Walker would not need to tax everything that drives, floats, or flies, nor hire a small army of tax collectors.
Tax and spend socialism is the dark utopian model of the past. Individual freedom and limited government are the sunrise of the future. Alaska's state motto is, "North to the Future." Will Alaska continue to march "North to the future" or will it backslide into the insatiable bureaucratic model that has collapsed many economies in the past? It's all up to you- the grassroots voter and taxpayer. Join me in individually contacting your legislators to stand firm on the $4.5 Billion budget line with no new taxes or PFD raid.
The Juneau Alamo is under heavy siege by an army of public lobbyists. Your voice must penetrate that siege. Rest assured that if they falter now, we the voters will remember the budget Alamo. This fall's election will be their San Jacinto.
"I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls - I shall never surrender or retreat." – Lt. Col. William Travis at the Battle of the Alamo

Condom use declines among US teens
Sexual activity among high street students in the US has fallen, according to new data, but condom usage is also down among American teenagers.
Research by the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that just over a third (34 per cent) of high school students in the US are currently sexually active, which is down from the figure of 38 per cent when the study was conducted in 1991.
However, it was also revealed by the study that condom use also has declined among those teens who are having sex, from almost two-thirds (63 per cent) in 2003 to 59 per cent in 2013.
"It's encouraging that high school students are making better health choices such as not fighting, not smoking, and not having sex," said CDC director Dr Tom Frieden.
"Way too many young people still smoke and other areas such as texting while driving remain a challenge. Our youth are our future. We need to invest in programmes that help them make healthy choices so they live long, healthy lives."
The CDC report found that since 1991, there has been an increase in the prevalence of having used a condom during last sexual intercourse. It was noted by the body that this rate has increased from 46 per cent to 59 per cent in the last 22 years. However, data collected by the organisation in 2003 showed 63 per cent of teens used a condom the last time they had sex.
It said: "The prevalence of having used a condom during last sexual intercourse did not change from 2011 (60.2 per cent) to 2013 (59.1 per cent)."
Not only are condoms the most reliable method of avoiding an unwanted pregnancy, they are also the best way for sexually active people to lessen their chances of contracting a sexually transmitted infection when they have sex with a new partner.
The CDC also revealed that the prevalence of having used a condom during last sexual intercourse was higher among males (65.8 per cent) than females (53.1 per cent) students.

Every morning when my alarm clock goes off at 6 a.m. I want to smash it with a sledgehammer and throw it out the window. What makes me agitated is not so much the painful, squeaky sound of the alarm, but rather what I see when I look outside — total darkness.
Rolled up like a mummy in my sheets, I see that my windows are still foggy from the cold and rain. Not exactly the best weather to head out for a run. But there was something special happening on the morning of Oct.13, which made me want to get up and run like never before: The Color Run.
The Color Run, also dubbed as the "Happiest 5k on the Planet," is a buddy-buddy run for anyone who loves breathing fresh air and getting paint on their face. The way it works is simple: throughout the race, runners get splashed with tons of colored dust in pink, orange, blue and yellow. At every kilometre the color is different, so by the finish line you are sure to look like a bag of skittles.
Whether you're a professional athlete or just a casual runner, it really does not matter. The Color Run is not about speed or performance; it is about sharing great experiences and celebrating health.
"The purpose of the run is to be active," said Martin Drolet who is the organizer for The Color Run race in Montreal. "Just turn off your T.V., get up from the couch and do some physical activity. Another purpose is to have fun. Be there with your family, friends, and co-workers and just have a blast."
When I found out the Color Run was happening in Montreal for the first time (it is largely an American thing) I knew I had to take part. Since running as a team is cheaper and, of course, more exciting, I decided to gather a group of friends who would be willing to break a sweat with me. Another bonus when registering as a team is picking a cool custom name for you and your running buddies.
On the morning of the run I was overwhelmed by the crowd that gathered on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The weather was cold and windy, but that did not stop thousands of runners from having high spirits and getting the energy flowing.
"People were really, really excited," said Drolet. "They were excited about dressing up and they were ready to have a good time. Everyone was so cheerful and positive."
What I loved about this run was that it didn't matter if you were walking, sprinting or crawling. Nobody cared if you were the first or the last to get to the finish line. The most memorable moment for me was the giant color party at the finish line. All the participants had a color bag which, on the count of three, was tossed high in the air. The result? A bunch of colorful people.
The Color Run had a great turnout and organizers are already planning for next year.
"We're coming back to Montreal next year," said Drolet. "And we will also organize it in Quebec City, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver. So get excited."

Thanks for a Great Open House!
Thank you to everyone who came out to join us Wednesday for our spring open house, "Growing Forward." It was a privilege and honor to host over 100 valued partners and supporters from around the Ann Arbor, Livingston, and Monroe communities.
Visitors toured our refreshed spaces (including fresh carpet and newly painted building!), learned about our extensive services, and chatted with staff and Board members.
Jacqueline Kaufman, associate professor and director of the division of rehabilitation psychology/neuropsychology in the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Michigan commented in an email afterwards, "I was so impressed with the space and services. I couldn't believe how expanded things were, and while I allotted an hour for my visit, I stayed longer and past the end learning more (and didn't even manage to hear all of the service options!)."
Thanks again to everyone who joined us, and we look forward to seeing you in July for our large summer celebration event, the Annual ADA Anniversary Celebration Picnic!

What is cellphone spyware & who uses it?
As the word itself suggests, cellphone spyware or spy software is precisely that: spying on a target phone in such a way that a person can have access to practically all cellphone activity. Now, it sounds like NSA would have access to all your activity and completely strip us of our privacy. This is not really the case. As a matter of fact, spy software is not as an appropriate term as monitoring software.
Once the term is cleared up, you can easily figure out who would use this software to "spy" on someone else. So who would? The software is usually used by parents who want to protect their child´s safety or companies who need to keep the amount of data used by employees on check. The very first thing that needs to be known about this software is that it requires an internet-enabled phone, or smartphone.
The amount of information you can obtain from a phone with spy software varies, but it usually includes:
- SMS- The actual text and date and time stamps.
- Phone calls- a log of all incoming and outgoing calls, as well as date, time, and duration.
- Email - access to the content of the mail, sender, date, and time.
- GPS - The location of a phone using satellites is fairly accurate. Some software allow you to have records of where the phone has been.
- Browsing history- access to all the sites visited with the mobile phone.
- Files- all multimedia files can be accessed.
Depending on the needs of each one, there are more powerful capabilities such as blocking apps, blocking the phone, or completely wiping out the phone's memory. Some of these can prove useful for parents.

Toronto's coffee co-op. The Ind_pendent
Hi all! First of all, sorry for missing last week's post, my apologies! I was seriously hoping that the days would magically lengthen by a couple of hours so I could fit everything I need to into the day. I don't need that much extra time, just a couple more hours to make up for my daily commute! This week I revisited a little shop that I've been to before. The first time I came, two things caught my attention. One was their collection of super cool nerdy décor, figurines and comics. The second was their love of coffee. It's called 'The Independent Coffee'. Due to renovations and future plans they've lost the nerdy décor (sorry nerds!) but their passion for coffee remains.
This coffee shop appeared at 96 Spadina, where 'Sense Appeal' used to stand. It was created out of a need for a friendly coffee co-op in the community. As one of the owners described to me; they seek to create a barista-customer relationship similar to one you might have with your local bartender. It seems to me that they are going in the right direction with this one! I always enjoy a place where the staff are approachable and chatty. Unfortunately this trait seems to be lacking in many coffee shops nowadays. Definitely a turn-off for me, as well as many of you I'm sure. As I mentioned before, they are currently undergoing renovations, yet still they manage to keep a nice cozy vibe happening. A very professional almost loft-like (despite being a tiny space) atmosphere make this a lovely spot to grab your morning coffee. You can tell that the décor is designed by ma(i)ly men (pun intended). Note the exposed brickwork, wooden shelves and countertops, industrial lighting and high ceilings. Scattered decorative plants bring a little light and life into the room.
After some nice chit-chatting with the barista I decided to go for my new go-to, a flat white. They use beans from Toronto's own Hale Roasters. I could taste notes of bittersweet orange, pairing perfectly with the velvety-smooth foamed milk. I also tried an espresso shot. It was one of the barista's favourites but was a bit too bitter for my untrained palate. For all you tea lovers out there 'The Independent' carries a wide variety of teas from Genuine Tea and Chaiwala and they will gladly make you a chai latte, London fog or matcha latte. Side food note: one of the baristas also happens to be a chef and will soon be serving up tasty bites!
This little shop is the perfect place to grab a tasty bite before work or a delicious drink during lunch break. Please stop by and enjoy a hot or cold (yes, it's finally getting warm Torontonians!!!) drink to sip on and let them know that I sent you! Small spots like this live off of community support so let's give them some love Thank you all for reading and see you next week!!

It's human nature to procrastinate. From a young age, we put-off doing those things we find unpleasant or deem unnecessary - from doing homework in middle school to paying taxes and taking out the trash as an adult. As the saying goes, "Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow"?
But that old adage should be thrown out with the bath water when it comes to planning ahead for your future. No matter how young (or old) you are, making sure your family is taken care of in the event you suddenly become incapacitated or die is something that's just as important as living and breathing itself.
In other words, estate planning should not be put off until it's too late. No matter your age or your wealth, planning ahead is the best gift you can give to your loved ones.
What goes into a good estate plan
Some of the components of a successful estate plan for young families include:
- Drafting a will - the most essential (and often times, most basic) element of an estate plan provides instructions to your family (and the state) on how to distribute your assets upon your death
- Allocating assets - discussions should be had regarding who receives which assets, when the assets should be received (e.g., upon a minor child turning 18), and how the assets are to be received (e.g., trusts, cash disbursement, etc.)
- Appointing an executor/trustee - the executor/trustee of your estate will be responsible for settling your financial and business affairs, and thus this person should be someone you trust implicitly
- Choosing a guardian - perhaps your most important decision is choosing the person who will take care of your children should you and the children's other parent become incapacitated or pass away
- Creating a living will/advanced health care directive (AHD) - a legal document that specifies what medical treatment you should (and should not) be provided if you are no longer able to make a decision for yourself due to incapacity or illness
- Setting up a trust - trusts can shield your assets from taxes and provide for your kids from adolescence through adulthood
- Designating beneficiaries - along with providing instructions for distributing your assets in a will and trust, you should also ensure your life insurance policies and retirement plans designate the proper recipients of those benefits
- Signing a power of attorney - a simple but often overlooked component of an estate plan is the power of attorney document, which allows you to appoint someone to legally act on your behalf
No one plans for a debilitating accident. No one chooses the date of their death. And no one wants the state to determine who gets their children, their assets or their legacy after they're gone. No matter your age, be smart and plan ahead by calling an estate planning lawyer today.

Well hello, I believe it's been a hot second since I have last shared a recipe with you. FEAR NOT! I have a delicious treat coming your way...pst it's also friendly for anyone that is needing a gluten free + vegan option.
I have definitely made quite a fair share of vegan dishes & sweets, but I have only merely dabbled the surface of gluten free. I now know their are certain flours I don't care to work with, some textures that aren't so great and can kind of predict what the end result may look like. I have made some beginners bread, pasta, a few stews that needed minor tweaking but a full out dessert; this is a first! I think they turned out pretty damn well.
Are you ready to make some:
Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls
Makes about 8 (depending which way you roll your dough)
3/4 cup unsweetened plain almond milk (mine was actually vanilla - whoops)
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 packet active dry yeast
1 3/4 cups gluten free flour blend (I used Presidents Choice)
1/2 cup almond flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
4 tbsp cold margarine, butter or vegan butter
3 tbsp melted coconut oil or vegan butter/regular butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Vegan cream cheese
or Almond Milk + Icing Sugar
Preheat oven to 350ºF (176ºC), use coconut oil or butter to coat a standard pie dish or round baking dish. Set aside.
Heat almond milk in the microwave (or stove top) to a warm bath water temperature. I heated mine in the microwave for 40-50 seconds. Careful to not get it too hot or it can kill the yeast. To the bowl add 1 tbsp coconut oil and stir until melted. Then add your yeast and sugar, stir briefly. Set aside bowl, uncovered to rise for 10 minutes or until it appears puffy on the surface. If the yeast is not activated at this point, your yeast could have been expired, liquid may have been too hot or not hot enough.
While the yeast is bubbling, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined. Add your cold butter to the mix. Use a fork or your hands to blend it together, it should resemble the texture of wet sand. Add the almond milk/yeast mixture and stir. This should form a dough that resembles cookie dough. Note: you may need to add a little more flour, but be careful to not make it too dry. Set aside.
Place a large piece of parchment paper on your counter (secure the edges with tape). Dust generously with gluten-free flour. Place the dough at the centre of the cutting board and sprinkle more flour. Spread the dough out a bit on your parchment paper with your hands. Then top with a piece of plastic wrap (also secure the edges to stay in place). Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a large, thin rectangle. Careful to not make it too thin!
Carefully remove the plastic wrap, brush 3 tbsp of the melted coconut oil or butter. Sprint;e brown sugar and cinnamon. Use the parchment paper to help you roll your dough into a log (choose the direction will estimate how many buns you're making).
Use a serrated knife to cut your log into 8 pieces. Carefully transfer to the prepared dish. Let the rolls rise for an extra 15-30 minutes by covering the dish with plastic wrap and a towel on the warm oven/
Place the rolls in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until tops are golden brown (and the rolls have risen/expanded).
While the rolls are baking, prepare your frosting/glaze. Place icing sugar in a bowl, sprinkle some milk. More milk, the more liquid it'll be. Let the rolls cool before placing on top!
Your cinnamon rolls will be good for 3-4 days at room temperature or in the freezer for 1 month (best to do without the frosting).
These turned out so well, and delicious - thankfully there was enough for all of us to have two each. We obviously really love our treats! Stacie is celiac so she was able to have some of these goodies (at this point she's the only reason I make anything gluten free).
As I have mentioned in the passed, whenever I am using my hands for blending or making dough I always put latex gloves on. This is for various reasons, but it's generally more sanitary, I have very long nails so it prevents any dough from getting under my nails.
The only thing I might try differently next time is making them a slightly bit thicker... but this can become very tricky since gluten free flour tends to become quite dense and hard. But we'll see what I can do.

This has become a somewhat amusing trend.
By coincidence, when mrfantasy was attending the EDUCAUSE conference a few weeks ago, Paul and I did a lot of Novell-related work, including upgrading NMAS, moving our Novell CA and SDI domain key servers, implementing NSure Audit, testing Universal Password, and testing UP-enabled Windows native file access.
I wonder what new Novell innovations mrfantasy's next trip will bring drewuniversity. :)

Balding Solution For Men And Women
Androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern balding) is by far the most common cause of hair loss amongst men and a serious problem for many women. There are three important components which are responsible for both female and male balding: 1. A genetic predisposition for balding to occur. 2. Excessive presence of male hormones. 3. Aging – enough time for the first two factors to occur. Both men and women produce male hormones that have a useful role to play in both sexes; but the fact that […]More info

Ray will teach AP Language & Composition students at Bowie High School (Prince George's County, Maryland) about Renaissance Commonplace books so that they may create and maintain their own.
From the project description, here:
The Commonplace Book Project
Students in an AP Language and Composition Class will learn about Renaissance Commonplace books in order to prepare for creating and maintaining their own commonplace book as a study guide for the AP Language exam and as an artifact to represent modern usage of diverse rhetorical strategies. The project will give students first-hand experience of Renaissance patterns of learning, reading, and remembering. Commonplace books will be both digital and analog.
The Renaissance Society of America uses its Innovative Teaching awards to support RSA members who teach in secondary schools and to promote the study of the Renaissance among the next generation of students.

One of the great things about Northern Ireland is how quickly some of the most beautiful destinations can be reached (no wonder the HBO guys are here shooting for Game of Thrones).
Less than an hour since our adventure-fueling-big breakfast, we arrived into sunny Newcastle, County Down. And good news - no unexpected rain or thick fog covering the top of the mountains.
Standing at 852m above sea level, Slieve Donard is Northern Ireland's highest point.
While there are numerous ways of tackling the mountain, two of the most popular routes are either starting from Donard Car Park just on the edge of Newcastle town centre...
...or from Bloody Bridge, which is our preferred option and where we set off from today. It's only an extra 10 minutes drive out the southern side of Newcastle, on the Kilkeel Road. Blink and you'll miss it though.
The car park has space for about 30 vehicles, with decent toilet/changing facilities (free of charge). The start of the Donard climb begins just the other side of the road. Needless to say, take caution when crossing.
As the sign below says, please DO remember to close the gate behind you. In no time you'll see sheep, goats/rams (and this one time a few horses) wandering freely around the open mountainside.
Dogs should be kept on leads. In some of the photos below, Max appears off the lead - this was only to grab a decent pic in parts where we could see clearly around us. Sheep have appeared out of nowhere in the past - a danger to both your pooch and farm animals themselves.
Less than five minutes into the walk, the landscape is spectacular. As you walk alongside Bloody Bridge River you'll come across large areas of exposed rock, rushing mini waterfalls and rock pools. If the weather's great, expect to see local kids bombing into some of the deeper ones. Or if the weather's been poor, expect to see the same kids in wetsuits as the water gets deeper and faster. Crazy.
Notice the darkness of the photos already? Yep, despite it being a crisp, clear day, the sun was already casting long shadows around us.
No time to stop anywhere too long...
Eventually you'll see a sign directing you to the other side of the river - luckily the days before hadn't seen any rain, so the water levels were low for an easy crossing.
Wonder how easy this would be after a week of rain?
Over on the other side was a quick reminder of why the extending lead was important. A sudden concentration-faced-Max spotted some sheep hanging out down the bank.
Around halfway up the mountainside, the landscape quickly turns into a boulder metropolis as you get closer to a disused quarry area. This makes for a great place to stop for lunch and explore.
The waterfall in the main quarry 'cliff' was at a trickle this day - zoom in on the pic below. On other days after some rain the place is even more incredible - as well as giving a more substantial waterfall, the rainwater floods a lot of the immediate area around and makes for some 'interesting' puddle jumping. If you don't fancy getting wet though, there are alternative routes around it to the right.
Beyond the quarry the path becomes a bit sporadic. If you didn't appreciate your sturdy footwear earlier, you will now.
After around an hour and a half's walking, we reached the famous wall of the Mournes. Stretching on for 35km over 15 mountains, the wall took around 18 years to build and keeps grazing animals out of the water catchment area for Silent Valley Reservoir (which supplies Belfast it's water).
For us, it marked another water break before making the final ascent to the top of Slieve Donard.
Until this point, the journey from the car park was a steady moderate walk - but from this point onwards it's important to note the necessity for sturdy footwear and the need for a basic level of fitness.
It may not look like much in the pic below, but you'll feel the burn quickly enough as you make your way up alongside the wall.
Don't try to use the top of the wall as your path up. The boulders are all loose - don't be the person that causes something like the below to happen...
Though the thighs do start feeling a tingle with the steepness, the quick increase in height does have its advantages. Check out the view already.
Though again, that bright sun is getting a little close to disappearing behind those mountains - and we've another two hours walk back down. Hmmmm :/
Onwards and upwards, looking to the left...
...and to the right. Max became best mates with this lady. Likely there was a sandwich involved...
...and again, looking back down to where we came from. You can see that the wall disappears in the centre of the below photo. This is the deceiving 'dip' in the hill, where on the way up it convinces you you're just about to reach the top, but in reality you're just climbing the first giant 'step'.
It was at this point we had to make a decision. The sun was just starting to disappear and we only had a small torch and our iPhone lights to rely on. The temperature was already starting to change too. Crap.
And so we sat.
One reason being to take in the amazing sun setting over the Mournes, the other to think 'what's the worst that could happen?' I mean, if we dash down the hill to the quarry, from there the path is quite visible. Even if it's dark, the path is okay, no major boulders or sudden drops to worry about.
Oh wait. There were some of those at the bottom. And the quarry has some very deep cuts into the land all around it.
Max, you make the decision.
Okay, wise move.
And in no time, the feeling of failure is quickly replaced with that feeling of slight danger again. Thinking gravity would have us down in no time, the slippy hill, big rocks and plenty of muddy patches made for a slow journey back down.
With batteries dying on our phones, only a few more photos were taken on the way down. This is the visibility after another 30 minutes walking...
And looking back up behind us.
Then 20 mins and 30 minutes later, looking behind us...
...and all too quickly, things got a bit tricky.
This is where the photos stopped and all feeling of adventure went out the window. We could hear the river beside us and knew that following that for around another 30 minutes would bring us to another footbridge and eventually bloody bridge.
In theory, easy. In reality, not so much. At one point we were stranded for a good 10 minutes on a ledge where our river was suddenly met by another on our left. That definitely wasn't there on the way up. Or was it? No idea.
After slowly checking out the ledge (nearly on hands and knees), we found a gap in the bushes on the side of the verge and slid down it onto the bank below. Thankfully this is where we rejoined the path we had taken up the mountain and 20 minutes later we were arriving back into the car park, muddy, cold but relieved.
So today's lesson? If you're climbing a mountain, get up there early.
Despite the dodgy end to the day, looking back, those were some amazing views.
So at around 5pm on this bright winter's day, we were technically standing taller than any other person in Northern Ireland.
We'll take that. :)

Medicine Hat College (MHC) has selected a recipient for the 2018 honorary applied degree, former government representative and educator Dr. Lorne Taylor.
He will accept the honour during the college's convocation ceremonies on June 8, 2018.
"Dr. Taylor is committed to improving our communities, whether that be through volunteering with environmental organizations, getting involved in government, or contributing to our economic climate through his family's business pursuits – we are honoured to recognize him at convocation," says Wayne Resch, acting president and vice-president finance and administration.
Dr. Taylor taught at the University of New South Wales in Australia, Memorial University of Newfoundland and the University of Saskatchewan. He later left academia to return to Medicine Hat and assist with his family-owned and operated cattle, grain and construction business.
A former MLA for Cypress-Medicine Hat, Dr. Taylor served in legislature for twelve years as the Minister of Science and Technology, Minister of Innovation and Science, and the Minister of Environment. During his time, funding was passed for the creation of the Supernet for all of Alberta communities. He also supported initiatives like Alberta Innovates, Water for Life and the Electronic Recycling program.
After retiring from the government in 2004 he chaired and was involved in the Alberta Environmental Monitoring Evaluation and Reporting Agency. He also served three terms as chair for the Medicine Hat Public School Board.
"Convocation is a celebration that we look forward to every year. Dr. Taylor believes in and supports education which I think makes him a perfect person to recognize on this occasion," says Resch.

Shooter pleads guilty in killing at Rock Hill motel
A Lancaster man pleaded guilty on Wednesday to fatally shooting another man at a Rock Hill motel last year.
Circuit Court Judge William H. Seals Jr. sentenced 23-year-old Glen Sergio Brace to 35 years with no parole in court Wednesday after Brace pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime, said Deputy Solicitor Willy Thompson with the 16th Circuit Solicitor's Office.
The charges stem from Sept. 4, 2011. At about 5:30 a.m., police responded to the Rock Hill Motel on Riverview Road and found 27-year-old David Watts of Gray Court dead, according to reports. He had been shot and was lying outside one of the motel rooms.
Several witnesses gave police a description of the men involved in the shooting and their car, reports said. Officers pulled over a car matching the description on Anderson Road. Inside the car, they found two guns and video footage.
Brace, Markevious Cousar, 19, and Devontae Wright, 18, all of Lancaster, were in the car and were arrested.
Cousar and Wright were charged with accessory after the fact, Thompson said. Wright pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation. Cousar has not entered his plea, but is expected to this week.
Thompson said both men were cooperative during the investigation.
In court, Brace apologized to Watts' family and said his actions were "out of character," Thompson said. Brace's family and friends also spoke on his behalf, saying he had never been violent.
Brace has a past conviction of third-degree burglary, for which he was on probation, Thompson said. However, he admitted he'd been drinking heavily and taking ecstasy at the time of the murder.

Hunter's Moon
Yesterday evening I was on my way home from a shoot in Virginia and I saw the moon through the metro window. It looked huge!!! So I hopped out of the metro, took an Uber to the Iwo Jima Memorial and set up my camera. A little earlier and the moon would have been a bit more orange and looked a bit larger closer the horizon, but I'm happy to have caught it where I did. It was so bright that I went and looked it up later, and it's called the Hunter's moon. This is because the brightness allows for hunters to hunt later into the night, with their pray lit up by the moon. This was my first good close-up of the moon so I'm pretty stoked about it! Not to mention the weather was perfect - I was in shorts and a sweater. This picture in particular is cool with the airplane in it. As you can see it's a bit of a long exposure, but the moon was so bright that any longer of an exposure and the picture was too bright, and any shorter you wouldn't see the city!

A little word of mouth goes a long way!
A few weekends ago I got the pleasure of taking photos of a family that heard about me through word of mouth.. I took pictures of Lexi, her husband Ben, and their baby, Dominic. I had taken photos for Lexi's sister's son, Grant, in the past, so it was really cool to take photos of Dominic, his cousin. We went to the Iwo Jima memorial, wandered a bit while taking photos, and took in the nice view of DC!

Proposal photoshoots are probably my favorite to shoot. Roger got a hold of me on Thursday and we met up on Friday at the relfecting pool. Stephanie and Roger said they go on a trip every year during the first week of August, and this one will be a special one for the books! Roger went and scoped out the area on Thursday, and even marked on a map for me exactly where he'd propose. We did a short shoot after the proposal and all went according to plan :) I give extra props to Roger, as he was in a suit and it was probably around 90 degrees plus humidity and I'm sure he had a few nerves firing too! Cheers to Roger and Stephanie!
