GRuB Digs In
Growing food is a vehicle for social change at an Olympia nonprofit.
In the spring of 2015, the farm that's tended by Mark Oravsky and his volunteers was a half-acre of matted grass, littered with trash and rusted equipment. In a photograph of the plot, located on the east side of Olympia, a storage drum lies abandoned next to a fence, and the metal skeleton of a swing set teeters next to a pile of old lumber.
Oravsky, a fit man with a close-cropped beard and a wide grin, says he and five other Victory Farmers cleared four tons of debris from the space so they could transition the land back into a productive farm. It was hard work but, as military veterans, they had experience with taxing physical labor and side-by-side efforts to accomplish a difficult task.
Another photo of the same site, snapped just four months later, holds proof. The sun slants across neat rows of crops and straw-covered walking paths. Cabbages, tomatoes, carrots, kale, parsley, eggplants, and zucchini are all visible. Even more vegetables and herbs extend beyond the viewfinder. In its first season, the site, named Victory Farm, yielded 2,000 pounds of produce.
Oravsky launched Victory Farmers, a program that provides farming and service opportunities for veterans and active-duty service members, following an internship with the Olympia-based nonprofit Garden-Raised Bounty, known as GRuB. His is just one of the community-based social justice programs the organization has seeded during its 23-year history.
In 1993, a man named Richard Doss started building raised garden beds in Olympia for people who couldn't otherwise afford them. He built 1,400 raised beds over the next seven years, an effort he called the Kitchen Garden Project. In 2001, GRuB was formed when Doss's program merged with another local program, the Sister Holly Community Garden Project, which connected youth with seniors.
Today, GRuB still works with youth and organizes community volunteers to build backyard gardens — their grand total will surpass 2,800 gardens this year — but this is only a portion of their work. Last year, 269 GRuB volunteers performed 7,500 hours of service in a variety of programs that defy easy categorization.
GRuB teaches people to grow food — mainly people in marginalized populations, such as youth who thrive outside a standard school curriculum, veterans transitioning to civilian life, and families on limited incomes. GRuB does so in a variety of contexts, such as working the GRuB farm, building backyard gardens, hosting farm field trips for elementary school students, establishing community gardens, and partnering with the local food bank. If someone in a neighboring community wants to establish a similar program, GRuB provides training, technical support, and consultation services.
All of GRuB's programs emphasize sustainable growing practices and hands-on environmental education. They structure their work around community service, social justice, and anti-oppression principles. But GRuB's core goal is to encourage personal engagement.
"Our first work," says Executive Director Katie Rains, "is to be together."
They do so in a way that's intentional and so simple that it almost seems benign. Before a period of work begins, the group circles up and faces each other. Then each person answers the question, "How are you today?"
The group check-in, whether between staff on a typical office day or a passel of volunteers gathering for a site build, is focused on active listening, a skill that's as integral to GRuB's work as weeding and seeding. High school students turn compost and run GRuB's farm stand, but they also play trust-building games and learn techniques to help diffuse heated conversations. In addition to hauling soil and learning how to grow tomatoes, veterans participate in peer-to-peer support activities that encourage listening, healing, and self-evaluation.
"This model works because people are hungry for connection," says Rains. "People are lonely. Many of the social connections we have are devoid of authenticity, of trust, of an ability to share and be seen. We help provide the social and emotional tools for people to do that more authentically. And we provide the tangible skills and space and resources to grow food and connect with food and begin to transform our culture around the way we eat. The simple act of coming together around good food is one of the most powerful community-building tools that any of us can use."
The three acres surrounding the GRuB office, located on a corner lot in a residential neighborhood, are dotted with greenhouses and tool sheds. A brightly painted chicken coop squats near the center of the property, near a long line of wheelbarrows. The organization purchased some of the property in 2009 and preserved an adjoining portion as farmland through a partnership with South of the Sound Community Farm Land Trust last year. This is where staff, interns, volunteers, and youth partners come together to grow food every season. They sell their vegetables and flowers through CSA shares and to the public at a roadside farm stand. They donate a portion of their produce to the Thurston County Food Bank.
GRuB's history at the site dates back to 1999, when Blue Peetz, one of GRuB's co-founders, was growing food through the Sister Holly Community Gardening Project. After GRuB formed, he and co-founder Kim Gaffi established Cultivating Youth, an after-school and weekend project that employed students through partnerships with area high schools, aiming to curb dropout rates by addressing obstacles such as hunger and inequality.
When Marcela Shannon joined GRuB's youth team, she learned about crop rotation, composting, and replenishing the soil, but also about "life skills that you don't usually learn in the classroom." Shannon, who now works as GRuB's administrative assistant, says she was a "fiery, angry teenager, and I often spoke before I thought. The youth group helped me learn how to communicate effectively."
The transformative work GRuB was doing with teenagers soon earned the program a reputation, attracting 100 applicants for only 20 positions. It also drew the attention of a local high school principal, who proposed a formal partnership between GRuB and the Olympia School District.
After a two-year pilot, Peetz was hired by the district to run a program based on the GRuB model. Now, more than 40 students at two high schools participate in agriculture-based alternative education programs. Students spend a portion of each school day at farm sites, earning science, social studies, and elective credits. Like other GRuB-conceived programs, the farm work is a vehicle for leadership training, team building, and personal reflection.
Rains says a trajectory like this one — from a pilot to a GRuB program to an outside project — is in line with their vision for the organization. "It's not our intention to create a GRuB empire," she says. "We want to stay hyperlocal, and we want to support communities."
In fact, youth gardens based on the original GRuB model have started in four neighboring counties. GRuB provides support and consultation for the programs as they're getting established, work they call "pollination." It's an apt term for an organization that has developed a knack for germinating community leaders and nurturing their work.
Like a grapevine being trained to a trellis, Victory Farmers is entering a new stage of growth. In addition to serving the needs of veterans, the program is evolving to fit into a new role as a community partner. This season, Oravsky says they plan to double the farm's production so they can offer CSA shares to formerly homeless veterans through a local re-housing organization. They're considering a physical expansion, too. The group has been offered more land to cultivate, and Oravsky hopes they can use a portion of it soon to grow more food and to practice the "therapeutic value of putting our hands in the soil."
At GRuB, a relationship with the soil, and the food that comes from it, is both restorative and revolutionary.
"It is about empowering people," Shannon says. "There is something so powerful about eating food that you have grown yourself. There is nothing more rewarding."

Furious Italy demands answers on failed hostage rescue
Italy demanded answers today on the exact circumstances of a failed British special forces operation to rescue a Briton and an Italian held hostage in Nigeria.
Chris McManus, a 28-year-old engineer, and his Italian colleague Franco Lamolinara, 47, had been held for 10 months by an al-Qaeda splinter group in northern Nigeria but died during the attempt to rescue them by Special Boat Service (SBS) and Nigerian commandos.
Announcing their deaths, David Cameron said last night that they had been killed by their captors before the would-be rescuers could break through into the compound where they were held prisoner. The kidnappers may have been tipped off after Nigerian security forces raided another Islamist hideout a few days earlier.
There was outrage in Italy after it…

Okay, of course those are not the actual lyrics, but I think even GN'R and angry Axl himself would permit me to paraphrase in honor of the one and only city of live mermaids... aka Weeki Wachi Springs, FL!

Shale Hollow Preserve, a creeking gem
Our favorite new Central Ohio family fun discovery and the crowning gem of summer 2014 was without a doubt Shale Hollow Preserve, which just happens to be less than two miles from our house.

Summertime beach cravings
I miss the beach. Somehow, it's just not summer without a visit to the ocean - salt water, sand, seagulls, shells and waves. I'm a bit spoiled, having grown up on Long Island with the beach as my back yard. Of course I didn't truly appreciate it as a kid - I wanted a pool instead! But I sure did enjoy growing up with horseshoe crabs, minnows and mussels as neighbors. What a wonderful, natural playground it was. And now, as a mom, I wish I could give Zoe more frequent access to the beach. Zoe … [Read more...]
Family fun with arts and crafts
Art has been a huge interest for Zoe from toddlerhood on, and we're finding that as she grows and matures, she wants to create and be artistic almost all of the time. A blank pad of white paper, her crayons and her markers, and sculpting clay are always easily accessible in our kitchen - but she craves more. She loves glueing, stickering, drawing, designing, sculpting, building and decorating. So here are a few of our recent projects, creations and finds - hopefully you and your family will … [Read more...]
A purple and yellow Mother's Day
When Zoe came home from school with faintly purple-stained palms a week or so ago, I smiled knowingly and inquired, "Oh, did you do handprint art in school today?" I was sure it was another awesome, Pinterest-inspired Mother's Day art gift. Her teachers knock them out of the ballpark each year, and I treasure each and every one. "Yep Mommy, I made you a purple flower, your favorite!" Zoe proudly replied. Then more recently, thanks to a sneak preview from another school mom on Facebook, I … [Read more...]

I've been meaning to write this post for a really long time & now it seems the longer I wait, the more stale the situation seems to get.
I'm getting really sick of hearing the rumors about Slipknot getting together once again, making a new album & going back on tour.
Let me first just say, Slipknot was my favorite band for many years.
They've helped me through some of the roughest times in my life, they've made me view music in a different light & seeing them live in 2004 changed my life completely.
I'm not hating on Slipknot.
This is just how I feel...
While a lot of Slipknot fans hated Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses), that was the record that got me listening to Slipknot.
I was in junior high when that album came out, so there was no way I was listening to their self-titled or Iowa in elementary school.
It wasn't until I actually bought those albums that I started to understand why people were always shitting on Vol. 3.
Slipknot got somewhat soft & a little generic on that album.
Super catchy choruses, guitar solos &...acoustic songs?
I think if I hadn't fallen in love with that album first, I would've hated Slipknot for writing it too.
That's probably why I never bought All Hope is Gone.
Because all hope really was gone.
Someone put the a download link to the entire album the day it came out & when I took a listen, I hated what I heard.
That album was not the band I'd been listening to & supporting for all those years.
I never understood why Slipknot stayed together for so long.
They threated to break up a million & one times.
In every interview, all they would ever talk about was how much they couldn't stand being near one another.
They claimed to stay together for the fans & becuase they're music was such a driving force in their lives.
It seems like any real fan (speaking for myself, of course) would just want their favorite band to be happy.
I wouldn't want to listen to an album made by a group of people who hate each other.
That almost defeats the purpose of being a band.
When Slipknot released All Hope is Gone, I mourned the death of the Slipknot I once knew.
When Paul Gray unexpectedly passed away, I mourned the death of Slipknot as a whole.
Now that they still don't like each other, a member of the band is now gone & many of their original fans have given up on them, I don't understand why they're still contemplating continuing on.
The faceless, underground, risk of a band I once listened to is now a Grammy-winning, chart-topping, history-making metal band.
I'd say so.
Slipknot has always had the most devoted fans on the planet & they will never have to worry about not being able to fill up an arena.
I just feel like, maybe it is better to burn out than to fade away.
My interest in the band has been waning since their last album & now that Paul is gone, I think it would just be more respectful for them to call it quits rather than replace him.
I don't know.
I'm just trying to figure out why in the world they're trying to take it this far.
They've taken the masks off, they've made their cash, they've changed thousands of lives.
At some point, they're gonna have to just admit that it's over.

Shitty Update:
Officially 20 (& 3 days), once again sitting in the school library "working" as always.
...Yes, I'm simultaneously eating rabbit food & contemplating making this whole place smell like chemicals by doing my nails but I'm 20, whore & I do whatever the fuck I want.
Anyway, my birthday was awesome.
I didn't do much of anything other than take a drive with my mom, get coffee at Starbucks & ingest a disgusting amount of pizza, wings & Mike's Hard Lemonade with my best friend, who I haven't seen to in almost 6 months, in the middle of the night.
That's a good birthday for me.
So, what's been going on with me?
Nothing, as usual.
Watching crazy amounts of Immortal Technique interviews.
Having panic attacks over the thought of the semester ending soon.
Trying to figure out how to successfully evade every assignment I've been given this week.
Nothing new over here.
However, we have a lot to talk about, you & I.
I just remembered a huge assignment I need to get done...like now.
So, I'll see you later.

Lavender: What's in a Name?
Tom Wajda
Adams County Master Gardener
With some 500 varieties of lavender in the marketplace, even the most
experienced gardener is likely to require some assistance in deciding which one best fits their needs. In addition, there is a great deal of confusion concerning the names of
lavender species.
'English' Lavender
'English' is a catch-all name for the species Lavandula angustifolia. Most varieties of L. angustifolia are hardy and will survive winter in the
mid-Atlantic with no problems. Examples include 'Hidcote', 'Munstead', 'Rebecca Kay', 'Cedar Blue', and 'Croxton's Wild'. L. angustifolias tend to grow to a height of 18 to
24 inches with a similar width. They bloom in June with some having a second bloom in late August. The blossoms are about two inches long on stems that are usually 6-8 inches
long. The plants can be started from seeds or cuttings. Starts from cuttings are preferred as the species hybridizes easily and does not necessarily come true from seeds.
The angustifolias are my favorite lavenders. In addition to those listed above, I can recommend 'Blue Cushion', 'Martha Roderick', 'Melissa', and
'Richard Grey'. 'Blue Cushion' and 'Martha Roderick' are both smaller than the standard size angustifolia and are excellent as potted plants. 'Melissa' has a very nice pink
blossom. 'Richard Grey' has a dark purple blossom and silver-grey foliage which results in a lovely plant. However, it requires good drainage and can be somewhat difficult to
Sometimes, 'English' is applied to the species L. x intermedia which are also known as lavandins. This species includes ' Provence', 'Grosso', 'Bleu
des Collines', and 'Cathy Blanc'. These varieties tend to grow to a height of 36-42 inches. They produce blooms 2-3 inches long on stems that are 15-18 inches long. Lavandins
bloom in July. L. x intermedias are sterile hybrids and must be propagated from cuttings. Intermedias are usually hardy in the Gettysburg/Hanover region although they often
do not completely 'green up' until the end of May.
'French' Lavender
'French' lavender is not native to France. The scientific name for 'French' lavender is L. dentata. The Latin dentata refers to the specie's toothed
leaves which gives them a fringed appearance. I believe that the term 'French' lavender is a corruption of 'fringed' lavender. L. dentata is a tender species that will not
survive a frost. However, it can be grown as an annual in the garden or as a potted plant to be brought inside to a sunny window in the fall. Varieties include 'Grey Fringe',
'Green Fringe', and the variegated 'Linda Ligon'. They grow to be 16-18 inches high and 12-24 inches wide.
'Spanish' Lavender
The scientific name for Spanish lavender is L. stoechas and its origins are in the Mediterranean region. It is not frost hardy; like the dentatas it
can be grown as an annual or in a pot to be brought indoors when cold weather arrives. L. stoechas varieties include 'Peter's Pink', 'Curly Top', Madrid Blue', and
'Devonshire'. ('Devonshire' has a very dark purple blossom and won a blue ribbon at the 2008 Philadelphia Flower Show.)
L. stoechas is a fairly dense plant and should be thinned a little in July to ensure the good air circulation needed to minimize fungus and mildew
attacks. There is considerable variation in the size of the stoechas varieties although most grow to less than two feet high at maturity. The plants can be started from seeds
or cuttings.
Other Tender Varieities
There are many other interesting varieities of lavender; unfortunately, none of them is hardy enough to withstand our winters in the garden, so they
need to be brought indoors before the first frost. For year 'round blossoms, try 'Goodwin Creek Grey' or 'Christiana'. 'Christiana' is a prolific bloomer with fern-like
leaves. 'Goodwin Creek Grey' can be counted upon to bloom all winter long. Its blossoms and foliage are similar to those of the L. x intermedia.

Hey guys I had my contact at a bodyshop hook me up with repainting my quarter panel and some rear sections of my car for pretty much no cost and I am happy with the work since it was a reputable shop.
However the guy that painted and prepped the car half assed some of it and left primer overspray on the rear glass and some on the side glass of the car. There's lots of overspray on the gloss black window trim and the rubber seals that run along the rear and side windows. It's an automotive gray primer and I have dark tints so it's super visible. There's tons of overspray.
I tried using all the solvents we have at the shop but it's going to need some clay bar to get it off all the hard surfaces (glass and painted trim).
How do I remove the primer overspray off the rubber seals? I am worried that using a clay bar on those will stain the material and leave clay bar transfer marks that will be difficult or not possible to remove.
I am not going to go back and complain since it was a side job and my buddy was already informed his employee goofed by not masking everything properly.

Allen Sabinson
Fred Sherman
Bob Bradley was living in Clearwater, Florida and died on Monday, June 16th. Bob was our "Person of the Year" in 1986 and is an inductee into our "Hall of Fame."
You always said you wanted an opportunity to meet one of the the top broadcasting moguls who controls what you see on your TV whether over the air or on cable. THIS WAS YOUR CHANCE!
Allen Sabinson, the former senior vice-president of programming for the A&E Television Network and the former executive vice-president of original programming for the TNT Television Network spoke at the luncheon.
He spoke about his time with the TV networks. Before A&E and TNT, Allen served as president of production and television for Miramax Films and the former programming chief for Showtime. He was also executive vice president of movies-for-TV and miniseries at ABC-TV and held a senior management position with NBC-TV.
And as if that wasn't thrilling enough, we added member Fred Sherman, Chief Economist at Royal Bank America and a financial expert on KYW Newsradio into the mix.
This luncheon was just one week away from the next meeting of the Federal Reserve Bank. Fred told us what he expects to happen.
Plus, we had Johnny Lerro, formerly "The Green Grocer®" and current president of M-C Produce Wholesalers, who told us about how to avoid Salmonella during this current outbreak with tomatoes. Plus, he toldl us how save money on produce over the summer. What's going to be cheap and what is going through the roof.
We also paid tribute to Tim Russert, the moderator of NBC's "Meet the Press" for two decades. Russert had been with the network since 1984. Tim died on Friday, June 13th. Make sure to be with us for our special tribute.
If that's not enough, Jane "Pixanne" Norman (also a member) sang a couple of songs. Plus member Bucky Clark at the piano gave us a medley of jingles from commercials of yesteryear. Also, Les Waas (a founding member of Broadcast Pioneers) filledl us in on the latest info about our "Tower of Fame." If you missed his first report, you lost out on a lot of laughs.
This all took place on Wednesday, June 18th, at the beautiful and historic Bala Golf Club, 2200 Belmont Avenue (across the street from the State Police) in the Wynnefield section of Philadelphia. It's only minutes away from Channels 6 & 10 and the radio stations in Bala Cynwyd.
Tribute to Bob Bradley with Bill Webber

Allen Sabinson
Be advised that we run two tapes of the event. The first tape ran out about 4 minutes before Allen was finished speaking. The other tape (but not as good quality) was still recording so we switched to that. The second tape ran out about 90 seconds before Sabinson finished his remarks. So we are missing the last minute and a half of Allen's address to our membership.

The Portofino Bay Hotel Orlando Wedding
Anallancie and Joal's Loews Portofino Bay Hotel ceremony took place last January on the breathtaking landscape of the Villa Piazza. From there, the couple and their guests transitioned to a catered reception in Del Mare overlooking the venue's iconic harbor. The floral and décor provided by Raining Roses added such a lovely, soft, vintage feel to their big day!
Also among the happy couple's team of wedding vendors were officiant Juan Auffant with Sensational Ceremonies, photographer Randy Chapman, videographer Steve Graham with Cinemedia, styling services by Beaute Speciale, and violin music by Beautiful Music. Just Marry!'s Creative Director, Jennifer Haskell, had the pleasure of working with the couple on their wedding. Here are some of the highlights:
"This couple was the epitome of love. Their white, ivory, and blush color palette was both timeless and elegant. We loved that they kept their wedding intimate by including their closest family and friends, without sacrificing any of the romantic details. They couldn't have picked a better setting to begin their fairytale together!"

Is it true that you are mindful you are a sublime multidimensional being of light compacted into this physical frame
to help raise the awareness of the group and share your most genuine nature, your Essence, with the world?
Your most profound light Essence is held inside an ethereal womb situated in your lower mid-region
– what we bring in Traditional Chinese Medicine the lower 'Dan Tian'. The lower Dan Tian is a vitality
focus that lies at the very underlying foundations of your life and structures the establishment for your natural presence.
The middle holds your Jing, which the antiquated Chinese alluded to as 'Pith'.
The quality and amount of your Essence is resolved at the season of origination when the Essence of your mom
joins with that of your dad. Now the grand impacts from the stars and planets make their engraving;
this consolidated makes an outline which you convey all through your whole life.
This consecrated outline decides your imperativeness, identity and hereditary karma; it is the sort of
person you are in this lifetime, which means the profound holiness of this Essence.
Throughout your life your Essence consistently lessens. When it is totally spent it flags the finish of this
natural life and your soul will leave your body, since this consecrated substance fills in as an ethereal
stay to hold your Spirit in your body. Your eating routine and way of life, however above all
else the condition of your awareness, enormously impact the quality and amount of your Essence.
So as to carry on a solid, key and completely engaged life and venture into your grandness it is basic
for you to see how to sustain your Essence, which is an antiquated and practically overlooked sacrosanct workmanship.
The craft of sustaining this sacrosanct substance is to develop it to a state of supreme plenitude that it actually
overflow into the group to help mend it. The sign of a very much sustained self is the capacity to support others.
The primary indications of being withdrawn from your Essence are: a steady tiredness that really deteriorates when you rest;
feeling lost and discharge, with no ability to know east from west in life; a solid absence of feeling of
self with no reasonable meaning of your identity; and feeling ungrounded constantly.
On the off chance that you can relate to any of this side effects than you have been carrying on
with an existence with no genuine respectability towards yourself. It is very likely that you are a
profoundly delicate being, with a solid feeling of compassion. You are probably going to be there
more for others than yourself and you think that its difficult to feel into your own needs, wishes and delights.
There are three fundamental strides you can take to take yourself back to yourself and step completely into the glorious light that you are.
Step one: Break the worldview of not feeling adequate to get delight in life.
Serving others is not about affliction or relinquishing yourself. Understand that you are
just truly fit for aiding and supporting others when you are completely renewed and loaded
with light once more. Each demonstration of selflessness really drains your
Essence straightforwardly as you are actually giving yourself away to others.
Stop this and figure out how to keep your Essence for yourself, assuming that it will normally overflow to bolster others when the time is correct.
Step two: Learn to consume room for yourself at the opportune time. Being a profoundly delicate being it is likely for you
to get on the contemplations, sentiments and feelings of others and after that convey them all
through your day by day life. At the point when this happens your Emotional Digestive System gets
to be overpowered and begins to influence your physical stomach related framework.
You take in an excessive number of driving forces without setting aside the opportunity to legitimately process them – like eating while you are running.
When you consume individual room, or shockingly better, when you do a contemplation rehearse,
you set aside the opportunity to process these driving forces you have gotten and held consistently.
The fundamental sign to know when you require individual space is the point at which you begin to feel fomented.
In the event that you need to take in more about the Emotional Digestive System and how it specifically identifies with your Essence read my article on this captivating subject.
Step three: Build your Essence through a basic and exceptionally viable procedure called Dan Tian Breathing.
Need to take in more about these methods? Participate on December eighteenth at 4pm EST at the Global Self-Healing Meditation!
This is the manner by which we feel scattered and ungrounded constantly, in light of the fact that
we are truly not completely in our body. By working up your Essence you really ground and
gather the scattered parts of your awareness, which will make you feel considerably more exemplified.
The greater part of this is a craftsmanship and takes practice to coordinate it into your ordinary schedule,
however by utilizing these means you will make fast change in the general nature of your life.
You will feel more imperative, engaged and epitomized: a far and away superior form of yourself.
Bear in mind that your Essence is not something you venture into, but rather basic unwind and surrender into.

Ten Steps for Anyone to Consider Before Filing for Divorce
Start with a good marriage counselor. If not marriage counseling, go at least for yourself. A divorce should be a last step, rather than a first step. There are three reasons to go into counseling. The first reason is to see if the marriage can be saved. The second reason is to build a support system for yourself. The third reason is to make sure you know everything you can about yourself, so that you will not make the same mistake and marry the same type of person again and again. Whether you are a husband or wife, it is important to know as much as possible about family finances. Obtain copies of tax returns, investment accounts, bank statements, checking accounts, and credit card statements. Know what your mortgage balance is. Remember, the more you know about your family finances, including trying to list assets and liabilities, the better off you are in the event that a divorce occurs. If you have children, consider what arrangement makes most sense with regard to custody. Is this a case where there should be shared or joint custody? Keep track of how much time you spend with your children, and how much time your spouse spends with the children. More and more cases end up with shared or joint custody, as well as with fathers having primary physical custody. These are important things to consider. It is also important to look at the situation realistically. Do not go in with an attitude of trying to punish your spouse, but look at what is in the best interests of your children going forward in the event of a divorce. What are your financial needs for the future? What are the family finances? Prepare a budget. Remember that after a divorce, the family is divided in two and each party will have to figure out how to move forward economically. How secure is your job? Does your spouse work? Do you need to finish a degree? These are things that you should think about before filing for divorce. Talk to an attorney. Make sure the attorney is someone who is knowledgeable and experienced in family law. Make sure this is a person you can relate to, and feel comfortable with. Explore the costs of a divorce with the attorney. Think about what you want to do about the home. Will you want to keep it? Have your spouse keep it? Or perhaps sell it? Remember, in these tough economic times, in more and more cases, we are dealing not with a division of the assets, but how the debts are allocated. These are important things to consider in filing for a divorce. Keep a diary. Know what is going on whether you are the husband or wife. How much time do you spend with the children? If there are issues with regard to possible domestic violence, harassment or parental alienation, these are things that you should be keeping track of in a diary or journal. These should be kept in a safe place so that you will have them at your fingertips as you go through the divorce process. Be sure that your spouse is unable to find them. Keep track of e-mails, text messages, and other forms of electronic communications. Avoid confrontations. People...read more

Impact on Preserved Land
Preserved lands are often targeted for linear developments like pipelines, as they provide the least expensive routes. But lands that were permanently preserved, with taxpayer funding, should be off limits for these projects.

Cutting Corners on Pipeline Safety
PennEast plans to cut costs on pipeline safety.

does a solar panel interfere with a qi charger?
Qi will usually work at up to 8mm away. After that the efficiency drops off to almost nothing (if it starts at all). Also solar panels are mostly made of non-metallic components (usually silicon) that shouldn't interfere TOO much with a Inductive charging system. However the Traces that link the cells will.
Provided you stay within that 8mm tolerance, and shy away from a metallic case on the charger, the solar panel shouldn't cause Too Much Disruption.
If that doesn't work may I suggest you plan to make the panel open up like a laptop? Then it could charge direct off the sunlight as well as your charger's battery. Could even have the solar panel on one side to charge up your chargers battery, then the Qi module on the other?
Good luck; Hope to see what you come up with !
thanks, I am thinking of making a case for my phone and this will really help
Hey neat Idea ! So if you place your phone face down, the solar panels in back will charge it?
I'd say yes. There is a lot of conductive strands internally inside the solar cell, not even mentioning the silicone which is also doped to be condictive. You can always try and see how much it will interfere.
thanks, this is really helpful

Date set for first cyber-church service
People who have never set foot in a church will be able to take part in a cyber-service - on Tuesday May 11 - when the world's first on-line church service takes place - on the opening day of the 20th National Christian Resources Exhibition. Simon Jenkins, editor of the satirical Christian website www.shipoffools.com who are behind the project, said: "While some websites help people meditate and pray, no-one has built an interactive 3D church environment before - complete with gothic arches and hard wooden pews." From a remote location, a real-life vicar will log on and appear on screen as a cartoon character. Using a keyboard and connected via the internet, he or she will move around the church, welcome the congregation, lead the service from a lectern, introduce hymns, then preach from a pulpit to people sitting in rows of pews. "In different parts of the world, the congregation, too, will log on and become cartoon characters - and see each other on-screen," said Jenkins. 'They'll choose a pew to sit in, introduce themselves to other worshippers through speech bubbles, 'sing' a hymn, listen to the sermon, chat to each other afterwards, perhaps pray together. They'll even be invited to put something in the collection plate - via SMS on mobile phones!'" Hundreds of invisible 'lurkers' will be able to watch the service as well - and participate in a chat room discussion afterwards. "When Future Church was chosen as the main focus for this year's National Christian Resources Exhibition (11-14 May, Sandown Park Exhibition Centre, Esher, Surrey), we considered it an ideal place to unveil this pilot project,'"said Steve. " It picks up the challenge of Archbishop Rowan Williams' 'mission-shaped' initiative - to create new church expressions for Generation X-Box." The online church will run as a pilot from May to July 2004.

We've all heard that saying, and I've certainly run across the problem plenty of times while editing (there's nothing more horrible than seeing pages of tell at the start of a story), but here's the thing: it can happen to anyone. Even me!
Yesterday in my WIP, I finished Part 1 and moved to Part 2. That second part begins five years later. I started out well enough, with a scene between the MC and two minor characters talking, and then wrote three bloody paragraphs telling the reader what had transpired during those five intervening years.
I stopped cold the instant I realized what was happening and went to bed to sleep on it. At first, I had no idea how to relay that information without falling back on the dreaded tell. The next morning, however, I knew exactly how to change all that crap exposition into something far more dynamic and interesting.
Even experienced writers fall into traps when they aren't thinking. We must be aware every minute we are writing; it's all too easy to write pages and pages of shit before we realize it's wrong, bad, and must be deleted or restructured.
Never, ever be afraid to delete stuff. I got rid of all the tell and replaced it with show, and the story is so much better now.

I honestly don't think I have enough space to write all that I'd like to. It's very late right now, after midnight in fact.
I got home about an hour and a half ago. I spoke at a women's retreat in Fredericksburg, VA all weekend long. It was emotional, draining, exhausting, wild, fun, and amazing. Seriously, I am in awe of what God did.
First, He showed up personally for the ladies there. I witnessed so many personal connections and it brings me to tears of joy. I witnessed obstacles and walls breaking down in women's lives. I witnessed surrender. I witnessed revelations. All by God, for God. Yes, the ladies claimed freedom in Christ as we defeated the pirates in our lives and took hold of the treasure, God's Truth. Words cannot describe how I feel right now. Just really thankful and I give the Lord every bit of credit. I was empty and exhausted. Seriously, if y'all knew the week I had prior to this retreat, you'd understand. I had NOTHING to give. But God did. And He did. I love Him so much.
Also, this retreat served as a HUGE confirmation for me. I was doubting my calling as a speaker. I'm not like many speakers. I'm really more of a sharer of faith. I love the Lord so much I can't keep it in. Give me a weekend with a group of ladies and I explode with passion for giving your life to Christ and becoming His best friend, and relying on Him each and every day to walk with you and get your through life. I do believe it is all possible with God. I live it every day. Not always perfectly. In fact not anywhere near. But it is my relationship with the Lord that gives me the strength and desire to keep going despite my circumstances. I am nothing without Him. But I can be anything with Him. Because He does it for me. He did that this weekend in a super ultra big way.
Southside ladies, if you read this, THANK YOU for allowing God to speak to you this weekend. You all were open to hear from Him and you listened. I am seriously blown away by the stories you've shared with me how He met you this weekend. Lives were changed and I praise God for that.
Plus, the retreat was just fun. These ladies were wild and crazy. Yes, wild and crazy for Jesus! I'd tell you more about it, but what happens in Fredericksburg, stays in Fredericksburg, so if you want to find out, you'll just have to attend next year's retreat when Proverbs 31's, Sharon Glasgow will be their speaker.
Blessings and Lots of Love,

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — When you go to a high school football or basketball game, are you ever fishing around your purse or pockets looking for cash to get in?
Three men in Richmond believe they have the solution with their new app Ticket Spicket.
"Ticket Spicket is an online digital solution for ticketing for athletic sports," said co-founder Ernest Hawkins.
Their goal is to give fans a way to purchase tickets in the palm of their hands while helping schools make money.
They say the concept is overdue.
"The fans are starting to ask the question, 'Why don't you take credit cards at the gate?'" said co-founder Russell Hertzberg.
With Ticket Spicket, they're meeting fans where they already are — on their cell phones.
"If you go to any kind of college or professional game, you're probably going to be using your mobile app or phone for something at some point," said the third co-founder, Donnie Schemetti.
So why not high school games, too?
Hertzberg says the idea for Ticket Spicket came about during a conversation around the dinner table about how to raise money for his daughter's volleyball team. They decided season passes would be a good idea, and his background in software development kicked in.
"I immediately started thinking about how we could take that physical season pass and digitize that into something that's much more dynamic," he said.
The three co-founders, who all met at a different place of work, started planning.
"I thought it was genius and jumped on board," said Hawkins.
But it's not just about making it a smoother process to get into games; they want to give cash-strapped schools an additional avenue to make money.
"We're more than just tickets. We're connecting local businesses and sponsorships. Our goal is to raise revenue for the schools." said Hertzberg.
They want to give schools another way to reach the crowd.
"Right now if they get a business that wants to sponsor them, they put an advertisement in their program or they hang up a banner," said Schemetti.
Their app would put the ads right in fan's hands.
To see a demo of how the app works, click HERE.
So what's next for Ticket Spicket?
The co-founders have been in talks with schools in Fredericksburg, Roanoke and Hanover. They're also getting ready to launch pilot programs after the new school year begins.
They say businesses are already interested, too.
Schemetti says Richmond has embraced their start up and says there's a large start up community.
"Oh, it's great. We've been very appreciative for all the opportunities that we've had. There's a lot of exciting companies coming up in Richmond," he said. "People are always wanting to help out, so we've definitely benefited from it."
On Thursday, Ticket Spicket is teaming up with Building a Better RPS for an event at The Veil Brewing Co. It's called "IPAs for RPS." From 5 to 8 p.m., 15 percent of sales will go to Richmond Public Schools.
The Veil Brewing Co. is located at 1301 Roseneath Road in Scott's Addition.

text: Hi all - I tried not to be the first to write, and waited and waited! Well, the day is nearly done. It was a dull, drizzly day. The cows were in - that's a plus! We got DS to work on time - that's another plus! My challenge today was to tidy up an area in my bedroom and I achieved that. daughter got her schoolwork done, and we went to a theatre outing with some other homeschoolers. Then I left her with my friend to do her music practise and schoolwork and went to pick up the cherubs. Bio mum didn't have shoes or socks for them - Little Cherub was in a nappy (again!) and they were all a bit grubby. However, I bundled them into the car, brought them home and after fumigation they were all fine (just joking!) Amazingly, they got bathed (deloused), fed and into bed at a reasonable hour. They are usually pretty tired and stressed by the time we get to this point. I've rescheduled DS's work for tomorrow till Thursday as I won't have daughter here to mind the children when I would normally take him at 6.20am. It's too cold to be getting them up at 5.00am. Hope you all have a lovely day. I'm going to curl up with a book for a while before doing some ironing... and plan tomorrow's challenges!

By Ingrid Ferlo –
Jeremiah Ellison ventured into politics to improve the lives of the people of Minneapolis' 5th Ward.
His vision has been influenced from living in the community and communicating with the people on a daily basis. Ellison shared his philosophy, inspirations and campaign platform a couple of weeks ago on the weekly radio show "Conversations with Al McFarlane." The show airs live on Tuesday mornings at 9 a.m. on 90.3 FM and reaches audiences globally on www.kfai.org.
Ellison said his platform consist of three major points – safety/policing, wealth creation and environmental justice.
The candidate said police accountability is a top priority. He said tactics used to supposedly combat gang violence in the community have been wrongly used by police. He acknowledged that gang violence and youth trauma are issues that need attention in the Northside, but said community safety should not be used to justify unreasonable tactics and said trust has been broken between the community and the police.
"I think that trust is, to say the least, very shaky" said Ellison.
On the environment, especially addressing poor air quality, Ellison said he seeks to collaborate with the county and state authorities to improve the community he wants to serve.
Ellison also discussed at length the obstacles he has observed as a candidate during his campaigning.
"One of the things that really struck me after having worked in some campaigns is that the municipal turnout is very low," said Ellison, who said he does not believe that the turnout is low because people are disinterested in politics, but because politicians do not appeal to their needs.
The candidate said low turnout in the African-American community at the polls allows political victories for some candidates who do not represent their best interest. He also said there is a lack of information when it comes to governance.
"One of the most common questions I am asked after deciding to run is not about our policy, but what does a city council person do" said Ellison, reflecting on the failure of politicians to educate the public on the relationship between government and the people. He said that he has taken it as a personal responsibility to start that conversation.
When it comes to running as an incoming candidate against an incumbent, Ellison said it will be a "tough battle" but promised he is willing to work hard to reach out to the people and spread his message.
Show host Al McFarlane asked Ellison how ranked-choice voting affects Black political leaders in the community. Ellison said split votes are less likely to happen if candidates run positive campaigns. He believes that voter power has increased under the model of instant run-off voting provided that candidates keep the betterment of the community in focus and not a personal agenda.

Let's Travel to Cuba by Ferry Boat!
Jan. 11, 2015: CubaKat is gaining coverage within the media as the idea of a passenger ferry service to Cuba is exciting and newsworthy, especially for media outlets within Florida and Cuba.
Please check back for updates to this page!
Brian Hall to Appear on Al Rojo Vivo with María Celeste
Jan. 11, 2016: Today at 4pm EST, Brian Hall, president of CubaKat, will discussing the latest developments of ferry service to Cuba with María Celeste of Telemundo.
Be sure to tune in today — or wait for updates we'll post on our blog.
Fort Lauderdale man trying to start daily Marathon-to-Cuba ferry service
Feb. 17, 2015: With travel restrictions to Cuba eased since last year, a Fort Lauderdale-based company is looking to start a ferry service from the Marathon City Marina to Havana, Cuba, by the end of the year.
Catamaran broker Brian Hall, owner of KonaCat, said he's confident he can get clearance for his 200-passenger catamaran to travel from the Florida Keys to Cuba twice a day. He hasn't decided the number of days a week it would run. A four-hour one-way trip would cost $169 or ($338 round trip).
Ferry service between the Keys and Cuba was huge before the U.S. government halted travel to Cuba shortly following the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
Hall said he's wanted to start roundtrip service to Cuba from the Florida Keys after a 2011 business trip to Havana.

Free zones applaud Medina shares their vision
The president of the Dominican Association of Free Zones (Adozona), José Tomás Contreras appreciated the remarks President Danilo Medina made in his Annual Report on the Nation on the export manufacturing industry. Contreras said Adozona enthusiastically shares Medina's vision of the great potential the free zone industry has for growth and development.
Contreras said the President's remarks concur with the announcement by Adozona during their annual luncheon in October 2016 that predicted significant growth and diversification with many new jobs being created in industrial parks all around the country during the next four years. Adozona is forecasting growth in existing products as well as business ventures in new areas.
In his Annual Report, President Medina commented on how 2016 had been a year of great expansion for the free zone industry. He observed that licenses for 52 new companies were approved in eight free zone parks, creating 17,000 additional jobs and generating US$62.6 million in hard currency.
Medina said the government was interested in finding new ways to back the productive sectors and one of the strategies is to link exports and attracting investment. "I am convinced of the great potential the export free zone has to grow and continue developing, both in existing productive areas as well as in developing new businesses to generate new jobs, create value added products and diversify the number of products (including high tech) made in the Dominican Republic, said the President.
"We recognize the opportunities in the marketplace and so we have to attract new investment in export manufacturing – this is especially relevant given that the United States has withdrawn from participating in the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). Medina said that his government was committed to work together with the free zones and take advantage of opportunities in these new times.
Contreras expressed the interest of the Adozona members in working with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, National Council of Export Free Zones (CNZFE), Ministry of Superior Education (MESCYT), Institute of Professional Technical Training (Infotep), Center for Export and Investment (CEI-RD), Customs Agency (DGA) and Pro-Industria.

When I ask audience members how many leaders are in the room, typically about 20% of the hands go up. I'll then explain that it was, of course, a trick question. Every hand in the room should go up because everyone is potentially a leader.
One of Southwest Airline's leadership slogans reminds their leaders that they are "Leaders leading leaders." Great organizations understand that true leadership has nothing to do with position or power, and everything to do with character and the ability to influence the people around them. There are leaders at every level and in every type of job.
Remarkable organizations nurture leadership traits in all their people through coaching, mentoring and training opportunities. They do it by encouraging employees to take on greater responsibilities, by having them chair meetings, or deliver presentations. They do it by sharing information in an honest and transparent way. They do it by trusting them to behave as adults. They do it by listening to their ideas and allowing them to have real input into the organization. They do it by setting them up for success. They do it by recognizing their great work. And they do it by getting out of the way and letting employees do what they know best how to do! As Ralph Nader once said, "The function of leadership is to create more leaders, not more followers."
If you're a manager or supervisor, what are you doing to encourage future leaders? If you're a front line employee, what are you doing to demonstrate your leadership abilities to the people around you? Are you stepping up before being asked to? Are you positively influencing the people around you through your character?
Speaking of leadership, I have an article featured in this issue of Switched on Leadership magazine called "25 Ways to Keep Creativity Flowing Through Your Workplace." If you have an Ipad, Iphone, or Ipod you can access the article and score a free 3-month subscription by going to: Switched on Leadership.
