Life is an experiment, a closed loop system running a feedback loop. When critical feedback comes, it feels personal and we react defensively, deflecting and rejecting anything we don't agree with. If the feedback isn't received, we can't make the changes necessary to improve the results. "Every voice is valid." is one of my favorite mottos. It reminds me to receive and consider all feedback, especially criticism.
Every person on the planet has a unique perception of reality. No two alike. There are as many different views of reality as there are people. We each speak from our own unique perspective which makes every expression a projection of our reality. We decide what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is bad, which is heavily influenced by our culture and environment. Sometimes we agree. Sometimes we don't.
We are all funhouse mirrors reflecting what we perceive. Experiences constantly shape us, and we can't see what we project. We unconsciously distort an image/person or experience according to the reality we have constructed from our past experiences.
What if we could let go of the idea that there is only one right or good way? What if we saw different points of view like differently shaped mirrors? Could we accept differences and stop taking it personally? Because it's not personal. Someone who has had very different life experiences will have very different views.
We are all variables in the great web of life. Everyone has their reasons for what they believe. You can't force your beliefs onto others. In fact, it's probably the most ineffective way to attempt to create change.
What you CAN do is LISTEN.
Every voice is valid, because it exists. You may not agree, but be willing to understand where it's coming from. Bridge the gap to progress.

Sean 'Dragon' Allen reveals the secrets behind his FIFA 19 Ultimate Team squad
The former FIFA interactive World Cup finalist, who recently signed for No Fuchs Given, talks us through his latest FUT squad
Former FIFA Interactive World Cup finalist Sean 'Dragon' Allen recently signed for No Fuchs Given, the esports team of Leicester City defender Christian Fuchs, before he competed at the FUT Champions Cup in Bucharest, Romania.
While at the tournament, all competitors were given every card in the game to choose from, but most aren't lucky enough to use those cards back at home.
The new NFG signee plays a 4-3-3 with a fearsome front three of inform Neymar, Ultimate Scream Mario Balotelli and George Best. Behind them are Ultimate Scream Marco Verratti, Kevin De Bruyne and Dennis Bergkamp.
Finally, holding things down at back will be inform Andrew Robertson, inform Virgil Van Dijk, Champions League David Sanchez, Champions League Kyler Walker and Champions League David De Gea.
Goal caught up with Dragon to break down the squad he has been using online…
What one FIFA 19 player do you want to add next?
I am saving my coins at the moment to buy Prime Icon Lothar Matthaus to add to my midfield three!
Who is your most expensive player and are they worth the price tag?
Dennis Bergkamp and I think so yes. I use him as a CM and he has everything you need! With 84 pace, 90 dribbling, 91 shooting and 86 passing he's perfect.
Who is the MVP of your squad and were there any players that surprisingly exceeded your expectations?
My MVP has got to be Neymar, he feels so agile and fun to use. My surprise package was Ultimate Scream Balotelli, his 84 shooting surprised me a lot actually!
On the flip side, which player have you been most disappointed with and why?
David De Gea, mainly because goalkeepers are very unreliable in this FIFA.
Is there one player you've built your squad around or a general area of focus?
Not really, I just fancied a change and decided to use some players I've never used before.
What was your reason behind your formation? Have you found that's the best in the game or just suits your personal style? Also, what tactics do you employ?
I'm changing a lot between formations right now, trying to figure out what counters what so I'm ready for tournaments.
Are there any players who you think are deserving of an upgrade to match their real-life attributes and why?
Jesse Lingard, his stats on FIFA don't do him justice of what he does in real-life. He definitely deserves more than 78 shooting and 76 passing.
With no player limits, what was the squad you used at the FUT Champions Cup? Were there any particular surprising choices from yourself compared to other players? Were there any players you used at home that you just had to include in your squad? And who was your best player at the tournament?
I used: POTM Eden Hazard, Prime R9, Blue Gareth Bale, Prime Pele, Prime Ruud Gullit, Prime Patrick Vieira, Red Alex Sandro, Prime Paolo Maldini, Prime Laurent Blanc, SBC Juanfran and Blue Manuel Neuer.
I think Hazard, Juanfran and Bale were very unpopular choices but they were also the three I have used a lot at home, so I had to use them again! Best player was definitely Prime R9.

Lenny Rudow reviewed this bowrider from Bayliner and "discovered" a simple, easy to maintain boat designed to be used for a range of on the water activities.
Read Lenny's Bayliner Discovery 195 Boat Test Notes
Video Boat Review Transcript
Guess what I just discovered? Bayliner's 195 Discovery. Now this is a very simple straightforward bowrider. It has a single stern drive, and it's outfitted so that you can use it for just about any kind of water play you like. Fishing, waterskiing, whatever. I tested it to find out if it was the right boat for you.
Design and Construction
We have Matt Guilford here from Bayliner Boats to help us understand what this boat's all about. How you doing, Matt?
Matt: Good! Good to see you Lenny.
So tell me, this is the 195 Discovery. What makes it a Discovery and what's the Discovery series all about?
Matt: Bayliner's Discovery series is made up of easy to maintain, functional boats that give customers the opportunity to get out there and explore.
Now one of the things that really jumped out at me about this boat is the nonskid. It's textured, it's grippy, it's rubbery.
Matt: It's perfect for the Discovery. With the wide open floor plan you can bring scuba gear, camping gear, the dog. You can just hose it down when you're done.

On Wednesday the number of human visitors to the museum left a lot to be desired. But then we certainly enjoyed the presence of the animal visitors.
Just out of the kitchen window, between the building and driveway, we were treated to a show by Katie Coyote. I call her that because in her gyrations we could see female parts, but no male parts. Katie was probably an adolescent…not a pup, and certainly not an adult.
She rolled on her back and on her stomach, kicking her legs up into the air. She tossed one of the fallen apples around as though it were a miniature tennis ball. She was having a lot of fun, all by herself. Coyotes are solitary creatures; they don't run in packs, although they will communicate by calling to each other at night. But except for mating purposes (and moms with pups) they don't seem to hang out together. And Katie was showing that she could have a lot of fun by herself.
In fact, after about 15 minutes a City truck drove up the driveway. Katie stood up and faced the truck down. The truck driver stopped his vehicle. It was a stare down. Finally, she ambled off across the front of the museum, and took off toward the wooded area in the hills. Katie had her fun, out stared a truck, and she provided a ton of entertainment to us inside the museum.

"Don't Be Your Kid's Friend" (and other bad parenting ideas)
"I'm not supposed to be my teenagers' friend. I'm supposed to be their parent."
We have all heard this…because it's true. If your main objective as a parent is to be "pals" with your kids, then you're an idiot.
However, some parents take that premise waaaaaay too far. They actually strive to remain emotionally disconnected from their children. As one father I heard put it: "My goal with my teenagers is to make sure they don't like me." He wanted to parent from the position of consistently being the "bad guy." In my humble (but accurate) opinion, I think he is missing the point. To put it bluntly, he too is an idiot.
The most effective parenting – the kind that truly shapes character and gives your kids a faith that settles deep in their hearts - happens when you and your kids have a powerful heart connection.
Jenifer and I sat in a conference with Stuart and Jill Briscoe a few years ago. This amazing couple, both in their 70's, had much to say about lessons learned through their years of parenting. I clearly remember Jill casually stressing the importance of the connection between a parent and child: "You want them to like you. If they don't like you, they won't listen to you. After all, do you listen to people that you don't like?"
True that.
The very last verse in the Old Testament is Malachi 4:6. It gives a prophecy about the ministry of a new Elijah who will "turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents…" When all has been said and done in the old covenant, this is the final word that God gives us.
Then after four hundred years of silence, at the very beginning of the New Testament, we see another reference to this new Elijah (who we learn is John the Baptist). There in Luke 1:17, it similarly says that he will "turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous - to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
The Old Testament ends with this theme and the New Testament opens with it. What is evident is that one element critical to the ushering in of the Kingdom of God is the heart connection between parent and child. This love relationship is the primary means by which our faith is passed from one generation to the next. When the love relationship is severed or broken, our ability to influence the next generation is limited. When it is nurtured to be strong, our influence is great.
Sadly, many parents have bought the lie that their influence is minimal when compared with their teen's peers. So they sit passively by, waiting for their teen to come to them asking for advice or insight. When, in fact, the truth remains that parents are still the most powerful influence on their kids. Furthermore, most kids (including teenagers) desperately want their parents to speak wisdom into their lives.
This all starts and ends with relationship: true, compassionate, tender, patient, open, grace-filled relationship. Sure, your teens will begin to pull away from you, but you can't stop pursuing them. Or loving them.
Don't make the mistake of trying to parent your children or teens without placing the highest priority on your relationship with them. You want them to like you. When they do, they will listen to you. Bypass that and all you are is the person who feeds them, clothes them, and grounds them when they fail their Algebra test.
Your kids need so much more from you than that. Mine do, too. What they need is us. It's about time we started giving them that.
Q. What specific thing will you do today to truly and powerfully connect with the hearts of your kids?

In 2013, I wanted to make two holiday videos created with publicly sourced video diaries. I asked folks to submit their handmade, micro narratives using any mobile video source they had available. The videos were solicited from Craigslist, friends, and interactions with strangers in public.
I wanted to see an Inauguration Day that had nothing to do with Inauguration Day in DC and a Father's Day from the progeny's perspective. No one sent in a video of going to the bathroom although I was kinda expecting and hoping for at least one. Fun project!

My final tip on inexpensive travel is not just useful from a financial perspective. It also makes for a much more enjoyable travel experience, too.
Simply put, travel with others. Make your trip into a group excursion and you'll save money (and increase your enjoyment) in many different ways.
Thanks to Ralph Daily for the photo.
For starters, traveling together allows you to share things. You can sometimes split a car rental if you travel together, for example, reducing the cost for each of you.
My favorite money saver when traveling as a group, though, is to rent a cabin or a house instead of a hotel room. You can easily fit two or three families into a house or a cabin for the length of a vacation, reducing the cost per night for each of the families to a very low rate.
For example, when I traveled to Seattle last summer with my family, we rented a house in the outskirts with another family, sharing the cost of the home for the eight days we were out there. The cost per family sunk below a reasonable hotel room.
Even more important, it was very easy to prepare food instead of eating out. We prepared meals there, ate together there, and even prepared picnics for days out and about. Having this kitchen area saved us a tremendous amount of money.
If you're traveling with others, you can often maximize group discounts. If you bump into "buy three, get one free" deal by yourself, it doesn't mean much, but if you do it with a large enough group, it can mean savings for everyone involved.
Another big advantage of traveling in groups is that there are many eyes to help search for bargains. Everyone can do their own travel research in advance of the trip and share their ideas.
Often, another person will find a discount that you may have never discovered, or they may find a free activity that you never considered. The trip planning itself can turn into a social opportunity as you pass information and ideas back and forth and come together on the basics of the trip.
In the end, though, a trip with others is an amazing social opportunity above all else. It gives you a great chance to cement your friendship, both during the planning stages and during the travel itself.
Group travel is just a winner all around.

Maybe you are not a coffee drinker, or even if you are, I have a great recipe for homemade hot chocolate with Nutella. It is amazing.
What you need:
- milk (1 cup)

Mon Guerlain, the House's new fragrance, is a tribute to today's femininity a strong, free and sensual femininity, as inspired by Angelina Jolie.
My invisible tattoo, my fragrance, Mon Guerlain.
The fresh oriental fragrance enhances exceptional raw materials: Carla Lavender from Provence, Sambac Jasmine from India, Album Sandalwood from Australia and Vanilla Tahitensis from Papua New Guinea. Mon Guerlain expresses the quintessence of a story replete with experiences, nourished by success, expertise and generosity, all infused with the same passion since 1828 by the Guerlain perfumer.
Your fragrance Mon Guerlain in its "quadrilobe" bottle : created in 1908, the bottle established itself as one of Guerlain's iconic bottles. Simple and graphic, it echoes an alchemist's bottle and owes its name to its stopper, which is crafted from one piece to obtain a shape resembling four lobes. A century later, beautifully enhanced by a luxurious glass weight and a golden adornment, this bottle offers a contrast between strong taut lines and sensual curves, expressing contemporary femininity.
A fresh and gentle interpretation inspired by a flower unfolding in the morning dew. A new facet of femininity explored by the Guerlain Perfumer. "For this composition, we wanted to focus on the floral aspect and we have fashioned it like a bouquet of white flowers, heightening the Sambac Jasmine, which is an integral part of Mon Guerlain's identity"explains Delphine Jelk,who co-created the perfume with the master perfumer Thierry Wasser.

Spectacled Cobra is the most famous and fascinating snake found in Indian subcontinent and adjacent countries. This can be easily identified by having hood and adjoined rounded mark on posterior of hood. In and around human habitation and agricultural lands it can be seen commonly as a rodent predator. Due to its mentions in religious books and stories this species is praised by Hindus. Also this is the most common snake used by snake charmers for their livelihood by displaying to layman.
Saw-scaled Viper is the only Echis species found in India and member of famous Big Four. This is also the smallest Viperidae member with an average size of 30cm only. Indian Saw Scaled Viper's population ends eastwards in Odisha and West Bengal states with eastern-most boundary of the genus Echis. In deserts and semi-deserts of India this is perhaps the most common venomous snake and so the most important medically significant reptile for deserts and semi-deserts.
Russell's Viper is the most widely distributed Viper family member which is infamous for its fascinating whistle and long fangs. This is one of the most bite and death causing venomous snake in Indian subcontinent and the member of Big Four of India. However even with specific body patterns layman sometime assume it to be juvenile of Python.
Common Krait is an infamous venomous snake capable for delivering neurotoxic bite during night time. This is one of the most common medically significant snake also the member of "Big Four" of India.

LAOAG CITY, July 10 — A group of Korean photographers visited Ilocos Norte earlier this month and took photos of tourist spots which would be featured on an online publication.
Commissioned by the Department of Tourism (DOT), the Korean visitors were composed of eight photographers and two representatives from the DOT-Korea.
They went around the province from July 4 to 6.
Milagros T. Gonzales, of the DOT Ilocos Norte said, the DOT's tie up with Korean visitors was part of the department's campaign to attract foreign nationals to explore Ilocos Norte. "We are glad to have been included in their (Koreans') destination visit.
Ilocos Norte is one of eight anchored destinations around the country," she said. The other destinations include, Banaue in Sagada, Clark in Pampanga, Bicol in Albay, Davao City, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu City, Subic in Zambales and Laoag and Vigan City in the Ilocos.
"They were fascinated with our beaches in Pagudpud. They took random photos out of the site and we hope that this will further boost our tourism," Gonzales added.
The itinerary included stops at the famous Windmills in Bangui, Kapurpurawan Rock Formation in Burgos town, Sinking Bell Tower in Laoag City, Paoay Church, Malacanang of the North, Lapaz Sand Dunes, and Pagudpud.
The photographers were part of the Korean Amateur Photographers Travels Safari which is behind an online site for high quality destination photographs. (Cherry Joy S. Discaya)

A Review of What Works
Alcoholism affects millions of people in the United States alone. According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse (NIAA), a division of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland USA, at least 700,000 Americans receive treatment for this disease every day. Some kinds of treatment, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) have been around for many years while others are relatively new. Clinical research to determine the effectiveness of these various treatments has resulted in some important findings.
In October 2000 the NIAA released a summary of its conclusions based on fifteen years of research on alcohol treatments. According to the NIAA, self-help programs such as AA, psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, either alone or in combination, are in fact effective and do reduce the use of alcohol.
Alcoholics Anonymous
Of all the treatments for alcohol misuse, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is probably the most well known. In AA, a form of "self-help" treatment, participants take part in a series of mental, written and verbal activities that can lead to recovery and abstinence. In one study, alcoholic patients who received inpatient and outpatient psychotherapy, as well as AA, had better outcomes than those patients who attended only one kind of treatment.
It is thought that AA helps people because it provides a new social network that replaces the alcohol abuser's usual group of friends who drink with him or her, and provides a fellowship that inspires motivation and lends support toward the goal of reaching and maintaining abstinence. AA also teaches a set of coping skills so that, when stressed, the alcohol abuser has more constructive ways of coping, and does not need to turn to alcohol to escape his or her problems.
Another study, conducted at a Department of Veteran Affairs hospital, indicated that those alcoholic patients who underwent either cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or a 12-step program in combination with CBT did better, over the long run, than those who participated in the 12-step program alone. (CBT entails learning coping skills, new ways of interpreting and reacting to stressful situations, and changing one's destructive or maladaptive behavior patterns.) The patients who received the combination treatment stayed sober longer and were able to hold down a job for longer periods than those patients who received only CBT.
Both of these studies seem to show that a combination of some kind of psychotherapy and a 12-step program such as AA produces the most beneficial results for patients who use alcohol in excess.
Other beneficial treatments
Other promising treatments of alcohol abuse that are being studied include Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET); couples therapy; Brief Intervention Therapy; dual-addiction treatment; and pharmacotherapy.
Motivational Enhancement Therapy: The key component of MET is an interviewing technique conducted by a trained psycho-therapist. The goal of this method is to increase an individual's degree of motivation to stop drinking and to maintain abstinence. This is accomplished by the therapist gauging the individual's readiness to change and then adjusting feedback accordingly. An intensive, individualized interviewing strategy, MET was demonstrated to overcome many patients' disinclination to address their alcohol problem in treatment and increase their willingness to change.
Couples Therapy: Patients who include their non-alcohol abusing partners in their psychotherapy are more apt to attend therapy, and more likely to alter their unhealthy drinking habits. In one model of couples therapy known as Behavioral-Marital Therapy (BMT), communication and conflict-resolution skills are taught. When a relapse-prevention plan was added to this model, alcohol abstinence rates were even higher.
Brief Intervention Therapy: This treatment method usually takes place when alcohol users visit their primary care physicians. It typically entails the imparting of information about the negative consequences of drinking to excess, as well as supportive programs in the community. Two studies, carried out in the United States and Canada, showed that patients did reduce their alcohol consumption as a result of these interventions. This treatment seems to work best with those individuals who are at-risk for alcohol abuse. Those who are already dependent are better off being referred to specialized treatment programs.
Dual-addiction treatment: This method attempts to target both cigarette (nicotine) and alcohol dependencies at once. The use of one of these substances seems to make an individual more susceptible to dependence on the other. The rationale behind dual-addiction treatment is that reducing dependence on one may help a person reduce his or her reliance on the other. Although this is a newer approach to treatment, a recent study seems to suggest that this is indeed the case.
Pharmacotherapy: Finally, if taken on a regular basis, the drug naltrexone, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1995, can be a valuable aid in preventing relapse among recovering alcoholics receiving psychotherapy. Another medication, acamprosate, proved helpful in several European trials. (Editor's note: It is now undergoing clinical trials in the United States.) Zofran, a medication usually used to prevent nausea during chemotherapy for cancer, was beneficial in the treatment of early-onset (i.e. those who started drinking heavily before age 25) alcoholism. Sertraline (Zoloft), an anti-depressant, was found to be helpful in reducing drinking in those with late-onset alcoholism.
Using proven methods of evaluating medical therapies, recent research reveals that many effective treatments exist to help people to stop drinking and maintain abstinence. These treatments include self-help groups such as AA, psychosocial approaches and medications.
Continued research in the field of alcoholism is likely to produce highly specific medications that will reduce the craving for alcohol. It will also yield an even broader range of therapies, including those mentioned here, that will improve the alcohol abusing person's chance for recovery.
Over time, those who suffer from alcohol abuse and/or dependence will have even more and possibly better options for successful treatment. In the meantime, effective treatments already being offered by mental health professionals and community groups have been demonstrated to reduce alcohol use and promise a better life for people who make use of them.

in my teens and early twenties i hated to cry. i did my best not to, specially when people could see.
now…i cry and i'm better.
my husband would tell you that i wear my heart on my sleeve. and he would be right.
do you ever wonder why we cry? it's silly really when you think about it, water makes it where you can't see and you get snot everywhere. but it's so cleansing sometimes, isn't it?
washing away the worry, the fear, the anger, the hard. making you better afterward.
i think tears are a good thing, a needed thing, and sometimes the only thing…
my oldest babe is emotional like her mother, and i don't want life to harden her! i don't want her to ever feel like she cannot cry or to live in a world where tears are not allowed!
i don't want her to live a life dictated by how she feels either!
this week as she wept because she was confused. i closed my eyes (i do that to focus when i'm agitated…try it it's a good trick!) and held her little hands in mine.
"you are in control of your emotions. you need to tell your eyes to stop…we can fix this after you are in control again."
no it didn't help. she went to lay down for a bit, and came back later, better.
we are in control of our emotions, they do not control us.
i think we get that wrong so often. letting "our feelings" dictate our actions , leaving the conscious choice by the wayside along with the repercussions that said emotions caused.
we do have control over them if we so choose.
and that's what i try to teach my girls. not that their tears are bad, but that they don't have to cry if they don't want to.
i'm sure we'll have to learn that lesson in reverse the first time their little hearts get broken and when puberty makes life confusing. but for now, i hope we are learning how to trust the Father to dictate life and not our feelings.
as for me…i'm learning to "use my words" instead of my tears.
i'm learning to save them for when there are no words. when cleansing is what the Father needs to do.
and i'm finding it's better this way…

kale n' cream/
Hi hi hi. Quick-ish post tonight!! I am working on writing the content for the tabs that I will eventually have at the top, so I am keeping this brief so I can return to that :)
Chris and I met Laura for lunch in Boulder. We walked to the HUGE Whole Foods and grabbed a bite. There were so so many options, it took me awhile to decide. My craving for salad was striking again. I just love salads and lots of toppings, especially when I can choose all of them!
Laura and I both had salads and Chris got a veggie burger with fries and broccoli. We had a 365 organic pomegranate blueberry spritzer drink, which was delicious. I tried to be careful with my salad toppings, since the price is determined by weight. The cucumbers were the thickest sliced cuc's I've ever seen…I think they just want it to weigh more ;) I couldn't pass up a hard boiled egg for a protein kick. Chris said the egg was a "rookie mistake" because you probably end up paying over $1 for it, haha. Whatevs :) It gave me a good laugh!
Chris's meal…Laura's was blurry, oops! I was trying to hurry…
It was insanely sunny today. The 1' of snow is melting fast! Better than a pic of Laura's salad, here is a pic of the 2 of us…majorly squinting from the sun!
Dinnnner time!! What to make? Ever since Kelsey made me fettuccine alfredo back in Charlotte, I have been craving it again. I looked up a lighter version on Cooking Light and also made a few adjustments. It's still pretty sinful, but worth it once in awhile! I did throw in a ton of veg. and whole wheat noodles to make it a bit more nutritious :)
- I doubled the recipe and only used about 2/3 of the sauce for the 4 of us
- If you double the recipe, use a full bag of fettuccine noodles to feed appx. 6
- I subbed half + half instead of cream cheese
- For the doubled portion I used a little less cheese 2c. [instead of 2.5] and I used parm + romano
In a large skillet I sautéed 1 chopped red pepper and 2 bunches of [washed/dried/ripped of stem] kale, with a drizzle of olive oil. It took about 7min [stir frequently] to cook down on med-med low heat. When the noodles were done I tossed them with the veggies in the skillet and poured the desired amount of sauce on. This was REALLY good!! I swear you will think it's too much kale..trust me it's not!
The sauce might seem a bit on the runny side, but when combined with the pasta it set up a bit and was perfect!
Off to keep on typing!!
p.s. To my Colorado readers!!! I know I have quite a few of you now. Check out this blog if you haven't seen it yet! It updates daily and has the best deals in and around the Denver/Boulder area. I have already cashed in on a couple things I've seen on the blog! Check it out!!

Hey There!
I'm Holly. I'm so glad that you found my little blog. I currently live in Ulsan, South Korea where I teach English. It has been such a great journey seeing God's plan for us here and how he has been so faithful to us. In my time here I have grown so much closer to God, and have really begun to make my plans his plans.

4 Pool Features You'll Want for Summer 2018
Whether your part of the world is cannonballing into summer or gingerly dipping its toe into warmer weather, there's no denying that things are heating up. If you're a pool owner, you've likely been waiting all year for the opportunity to lounge poolside. And if you really want to make the most of the coming season, there are a few pool features you might want to consider.
Pools have long been a backyard staple in warmer climates, but they've come a long way since gaining popularity after World War II. Your backyard oasis can be so much more than a big hole in the ground. If you're ready to take your summer up a notch, check out these must-have pool features.
A nearby heat source
There's nothing quite like relaxing in your pool as the warm summer day slips into a balmy evening. The only problem? When it comes time to hop out of the pool, the chill evening air isn't ideal. Why not ease that transition? Installing a fire pit near your pool's edge essentially guarantees that your pool will get more use after the sun sets. You can set up seating nearby; it's a great setting for slow evenings enjoyed with friends and family.
A Baja shelf
Why is the Baja shelf one of 2018's most popular pool features? It's simple. This elevated portion of your pool gives you the opportunity to enjoy the water without the need to get your hair wet. A Baja shelf – also known as a sun shelf or a tanning shelf – is ideal when you want to relax in the water but still enjoy the sun's warmth. (And it saves you the hassle of trying to get on a pool float without toppling over.)
Integrated landscaping
If you want to make your pool feel lush and tropical, throw away the preconceived notion that it has to be surrounded by stone or concrete. Bring your landscaping right up to your pool's edge to blend the water with your yard's growth. Marrying your landscaping and your pool design makes your pool feel like an integrated oasis.
A water feature
We know, we know. There's nothing particularly novel about adding more water to your existing water. But the power of a water feature shouldn't be overlooked. There are a few things to consider when adding flowing water to your pool's edge. First, it can help solidify your ambiance. Do you want your yard to feel modern and chic? A refined water spout like the one pictured lends itself to your look. Are you seeking a more organic feel? Water cascading down rocks into your pool will make your yard seem like an extension of nature.
A water feature also gives you control over your yard's noise levels. If you have a highway nearby, the sound of the water can provide much-needed white noise. There's nothing like enjoying a day by the pool with the soothing sound of water as a soundtrack.
More inspiring pool features
Remember, the sky's the limit with today's pools. If you're looking to create your perfect pool this summer, we've got 40 stunning pool designs lined up for you.
What's your favorite pool feature for hot summer days? Let us know in the comments.

The day started at 5am. By far the earliest I have ever woken up on my birthday.
Bike was tucked in the back of my van for the 45 mile drive to Reunion Ranch where the ride began.
Night was still winning the battle against morning as riders walked to collect their numbers.
The breakfast tacos were tasty.
I was number five hundred and eight.
The sun finally rose as everyone was lining up for the start.
While most of the people doing the Tour de Cure ride did not have diabetes themselves, those that did got a special jersey to represent this. Spectators and other riders would yell "GO RED RIDER!" as we passed.
I haven't had a reason to leave the main busy city part of Austin and go explore the country side before this bike ride. Watching the morning develop across the rolling hills and family farms and wake everything up was a welcome distraction from the pains that come during the first 10-15 miles of warming up to a lengthy distance.
These three guys from Arkansas rode with me for the full duration of the ride. Their names are not important but we chatted about all sorts of things while pacing each other at a constant 17 mph and I greatly appreciate their company.
The rest stops and the volunteers at them were absolutely incredible. Being able to stop every 10-20 miles to fill up on water, oranges, bananas, energy bars, wipe ourselves down with fresh towels, and check blood sugar levels. Riding this distance would have been much harder without all their support.
There were tasty tacos and storm troopers at the end of the ride.
The clouds were so perfect on the drive home that they seemed fake.

If you've spent any time near or in your marketing department, you've heard the chatter:
"How can we make this go viral?" "What's the virality potential?" "I want to make this super sharable so it'll go viral."
We're obsessed with making things "go viral," as if there's a magic formula. (My theory is crazy cat + nostalgic 80s or 90s song + humor)
Is that really what marketers should be focused on? As Seth Godin often notes, it's not always about getting the most people to listen; it's about building a community and identity around your product or service. By definition, that means some people will love it...and some will hate it. And that's ok.
What makes something go "viral" isn't the presence of Kim Kardashian. It's the power of a single idea. And while we focus on the race to the bottom of click-bait (you wouldn't BELIEVE what happens next!!!!) we should be focusing on quality.
Related: The Power of Curiosity In The Workplace
Today's consumer is increasingly bombarded with advertising messages and content, content, content. We live in an age where information is at our fingertips—if we can wade through the heaps of irrelevant sales-y content that surrounds the information we need.
So at your next meeting, instead of thinking about how many people will share it, think about how many people will love it, have the idea resonate, and become a part of your community as the result of this piece of content.
That's a lot more powerful.

Profiles in Woodworking: Jaap Romijn, 2016 Founders' Award Recipient
Jaap Romijn, our 2016 Founders' Award recipient, has been a friend of the School since the very beginning, as a founding Board Member. Most recently, he shared his talent for furniture design as the designer of the porch furniture sets built for the Fort Worden PDA, which now grace the porches of Officer's Row houses. Jaap was kind enough to share a bit about his background and path to becoming an artist and craftsperson.
Jaap was born in the Netherlands, surrounded by boats. His first woodworking experience came at the local wharf, where he was not-so-gently taught Basic Handtools 101. He moved to the United States in 1968 (a "romantic story", says Jaap- you'll have to ask him yourself!), and completed his undergraduate degree in sculpture. After working in a cabinet shop, being a partner in a custom door/window company, and supervising at a production door company, he started his own custom furniture company.
In 2007, Jaap moved to Port Townsend. While he occasionally still designs for clients in California, for the past 5 years he has focused primarily on his first passion: sculpture.
Jaap sees furniture as functional sculpture, in which one's personality is expressed in shapes and colors.
The creative process is the heart of woodworking for Jaap: coming up with an idea and seeing it coming alive. As he put it, "It's magic! (Even after all those years!)"
Jaap created the design and built the prototype for the Porch Furniture Project that the School recently completed for the Fort Worden PDA.
We are incredibly appreciative of Jaap's creativity and generosity, and are pleased to present him with the 2016 Founders' Award.

Call them what you like, they have some amazing health properties. They are fairly low in calories and have lots of fiber, potassium, magnesium, Vitamin K, and antibacterial properties. In addition to their well-known digestive benefits, they are also one of the few foods that not only prevent but reverse bone loss thanks to polyphenols.
Last Spring I went on a trip to visit prune orchards and a Sunsweet processing facility. Sunsweet is a growers cooperative with 300 members, each with about 60 acres of trees. Sunsweet processes the fruit, turning the pits into animal feed and fuel. On the tour was the first time I tried diced prune "plum amazins" which are little bits of prunes that can easily be used in any way you might use raisins. They are tasty and convenient and not as sticky as whole prunes. Paired with walnuts they make a satisfying snack. About 98% of prunes are used for snacking, but there are plenty of other ways to enjoy them. I particularly like using them in savory rich stews and tagines.
Ways to use prunes or diced prunes:
* Place on a cheese plate
* Blend them into smoothies with bananas or nuts and milk
* Stuff them with almonds or walnuts
* Fill them with goat cheese
* Add them to green salads
* Include them in grain dishes like pilaf, quinoa or Israeli couscous
* Use them in granola or trail mix
* Add to chili for their sweetness and thickening properties (they were used in this award winning recipe)
* As a sweetener in barbecue sauce
* Baked into scones or muffins
Disclaimer: I was a guest of Sunsweet, but I was not compensated monetarily for this or any other post.

Jerusalem, Mar. 19 – A gunman on a motorcycle shot dead three children and a teacher Monday at a Jewish school in what appears to be a racially motivated shooting in the southern French city of Toulouse.
The gunman opened fire as students were being dropped off at school and then fled the scene. The victims were identified as school teacher Yonatan Sandler, 30; his sons Aryeh, 3 and Gavriel, 6; and 8-year-old Miriam Monsonego, daughter of the school principal. A teenage student is in critical condition in a local hospital.
French media outlets reported later in the day that police sought three neo-nazi ex-paratroopers in connection with the shooting.
French leaders condemned the attack, with President Nicolas Sarkozy, cabinet ministers and opposition leaders immediately flying to Toulouse to express their shock and give support to the local community.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said later in the day that the killers would be brought to justice and offered Israeli aid in apprehending the perpetrators.
"I am sure the government of [French President] Nicolas Sarkozy will do everything possible to find the killer and we will help with that," he said.
The southern city of Toulouse is home to 20,000 Jews; France's total Jewish population is about 600,000. The local TLT television station reported that the gunman had to have gone out of his way to target the Ozar Hatorah school, located on a quiet side street with no sign. For a long time, the Jewish community in Toulouse has taken security steps to protect educational institutions by keeping them anonymous.
"This targeting (of) a Jewish school makes it seem like it's definitely a racist incident," France 24 television reporter Chris Bockman reported. It was the worst recent attack on a Jewish target in France since Palestinian terrorists attacked a Paris restaurant in 1982, killing six people and wounding 22 more.
"We will do whatever we can do to secure the Jewish schools in France," French ambassador to Israel Christophe Bigot said in Tel Aviv at an event organized by The Israel Project. Although anti-Semitism in France is down slightly, there were 57 violent incidents reported last year and Bigot noted "the tragic event of today shows that it's an everlasting fight."
The French Jewish community is still haunted by the brutal 2006 murder of Jewish man that Sarkozy deplored as an anti-Semitic crime.
Religious leaders in France denounced the attack. "Killing children is probably the ultimate act of barbarism," Pastor Claude Baty, president of the Protestant Federation of France said. "When in addition, as seems likely, a selection (by the gunman is) linked to religion, our horror increases."
After the shooting, the French Interior Ministry ordered security to be increased around all Jewish schools in the country. Police are investigating to see if there is a connection between the shooting at the Jewish school and two other shootings in the past week that killed three French soldiers from visible minorities.

I'm excited to gather with our Summit family this Easter weekend! For Christians, there is nothing more important than what Jesus did through His death and resurrection.
Those three days changed the course of human history.
From Good Friday to Easter Sunday, Jesus turned around what appeared to be a defeat into a great victory–that is still changing lives today.
Let's let's honor Him, celebrate this weekend and invite others to join with us!
"And Jesus Christ our Lord was shown to be the Son of God when God powerfully raised him from the dead by means of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 1:4)
Pray with me that many will be encouraged in their faith and that people will place their hope in Christ. Good Friday helps us reflect on the incredible sacrifice of our Savior–which sets up the joyful celebration on Easter morning!
On Good Friday there will be childcare for infants-preschool.
On Easter Sunday we will offer Summit Kids (nursery to 5th grade) at all three services. APEX student worship will take place at all three services (middle school at 8 & 9:30; high school at 11:00).
Studies show that Easter is the Sunday during the year people are most likely to come to church… if someone personally invites them.
Just ask and see what God will do through you! As He shared in Luke 14:23, Jesus is passionate about people responding to His invitation.It is going to be a powerful weekend! I'm excited to see what God will do in our church and our community.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Nate
P.S. Our 9:30 service is normally the most crowded on Easter. If you are a Summit regular, we encourage you to worship at 8:00 or 11:00 if you can. Thanks!

Project Syttifem "Fjord"Project Modulært
How affordable is Simple?
I'm all in for the FJELL HHKB if it ever happens. The FJELL as it is will be used for a project that can easily be adapted and even more suited toward the HHKB style case, since my aesthetic goal is for an HHKB layout with high pro key caps (Alps, of course). I'd be overjoyed to own the HHKB version. If that happens, I'd probably pass the original FJELL to someone who really wanted one and take the HHKB version if it proved to be more suitable for my idea.That said, all of your case designs have nice concepts, Leandre. Your "modular" project is something that I'm keeping my ears perked for too.
Thanks for all the comments! Can't wait to show off more LeandreN
Looking forward to HHKB FJELL & Simple
Hey LeandreN! Will the HHKB be a two part case, with the plate being top mount? So excited. I really like the Simple one as well, will that have a brass weight too?
HHKB Fjell?! Dear lord, I'll end up with the whole Telemark of keyboards...
I see you like tray cases LeandreN. You should totally make blockers for your tray mount cases so people can also use hhkb or wkl layout Examples of what I mean: 1u ones Underside

Beach Boogie and Shag – 94.9 the Surf Radio
I just got back from a trip to Myrtle beach South Carolina. One of the highlights of the trip was a radio station call "The Surf". It was shock to hear an actual DJ and song that weren't some form of top 40 played on repeat. You could actually listen to this station and not hear the same song in an hour. It made me miss old radio. You should check it out before this disappears.

Our annual festival of horror, sci-fi, dark fantasy and exploitation cinema defies convention to bring you the most outrageous genre films from both emerging and established filmmakers. Ten days of celluloid mayhem not usually found in your local cineplex!
"San Francisco's original genre film festival is characterized by a scrappy, DIY aesthetic that eschews big studio content and recent trends towards elevated genre. Holehead's programming remains curatorially committed to the genre's graphic roots in shockploitation, visceral thrills and gleeful mayhem." – Michael Guillen, The Evening Class

The Barometer Top-Down Process
On a daily basis, we assess market risk and identify market leadership through our top-down methodology.
The process begins with a review of proprietary risk models to assess risk at the portfolio level. In effect, we are asking the question: is now the right time be invested?
Next, through our sector risk models, we further screen 41 asset classes, sector silos and geographic markets to identify pockets of the market that are experiencing positive capital inflows. By isolating areas of the market that are attracting investor interest we are able to isolate markets or sectors that are undergoing a positive revaluation.
While this screening activity provides an objective indication of capital flow, we believe that this must be accompanied by a thorough macro analysis to ensure that we understand what is driving any given revaluation trend.
In addition to identifying any emerging investment themes, it is critical that we take the time to understand both the technical and fundamental factors at play. This helps to ensure that we are able to properly identify the most appropriate security candidates for investment.

Friends! We made it!
We made it all the way to FriYAY! I don't know what's going around where you are, but we've had dreadful colds here, and Jem has had croup and was on meds, and I'm coughing like it's going out of style. UGH. We may not complain about the weather, dear Frances, but I most certainly do complain about coughs and croup. It's been like that chapter out of Cheaper by the Dozen around here, when they go cross-country to visit family, and they have croup on the train. ACKKKK.
I have a couple of lovely interviews coming to you soon, but they are with happy quilty people, and if you don't know, there has been Fall Quilt Market and the International Quilt Festival happening over the last week, so basically every industry professional is totally swamped (including me--I'm up to my ears in Instagram eye candy! ha!). Anyway, I've had a couple of very exciting interview YESes recently, and it's going to be great.
In the meanwhile, I'm bringing you a whole bunch of my friends-- my podcasting friends! These are my quilting and crafting podcasting friends, mostly in the order I started listening to them. Maybe you already know all of them, and we can gush over how much we love these folks. If not, go take a listen and meet someone new!
WOOLFUL Ashley Yousling, my dear, you were my "gateway podcast" in those early weeks and months with Jemsy as a baby. You helped me understand more about natural fibers, fiber animals and plants, natural dying, and more.
KNIT.FM Though sadly no longer broadcasting, the expertise Pam Allen and Hannah Fettig bring along with their humor and friendship is unmatched.
HEAR MOTHERHOOD My darling Paige isn't podcasting anymore either, but her archives are still up, and I love her interviews with other creative mamas. Now she is busy with many other fabulous creative endeavors. She just drew this adorable car design that I'm dying to see on fabric!
HIP TO BE A SQUARE Pam, you make me laugh out loud every time. I love that you have way more sass than anyone ever pictures in a quilter. I want to hug you and have a drink with you and belly laugh with you all while sewing every time I listen to you podcast, even if that would be way too much social interaction for us introverts.
THE STITCH TV SHOW Pam plus best friend Lynn means I'm just crying laughing and trying not to sew thru my fingers while I watch/listen. Their camaraderie brings all of us in, all while passing on good info, food for thought, and gorgeous patterns.
QUILTING...FOR THE REST OF US Sandy, you are a force to be reckoned with. Folks love to ask me how I do all that I do, but I really should start saying, "Have you met my friend Sandy?" Quilter, Blogger, Podcaster, Embroidery Enthusiast, General Hand Craft Fanatic, Wife, Mom, Globe Trotter, AND Seminary Student. I love hearing about all your adventures whenever you have a moment to share!
THE OFF-KILTER QUILT Oh my Frances. Of all my podcasty friends, I think your voice is the most soothing. You're authentic, witty, and an amazing encourager. And I really wish you would podcast more often! ha! (PS I interviewed Frances a few weeks back, which you can read here.)
ANNIE SMITH: QUILTING STASH Annie's podcast has been a valuable source of information and tips as I'm still pretty new to this whole thing.
LAZY DAISY QUILTS (AND READS) Daisy quilts and long-arms, but she also sews AMAZING costumes. I know almost nothing about garment sewing, so she might as well be a magician. Also, her last episode was called Bodice Chillers which still has me giggling. I think I'll get one next time I'm pregnant in summer. HA!
MAGIC LESSONS WITH ELIZABETH GILBERT I don't know why I ever procrastinated on reading Big Magic. Not only was it fabulous, but it led me to Liz's podcast. Struggling with creative fear or hesitation? Liz will put an end to that right quick and make you laugh while she's at it. (Also, to quote Liz's opening: "These are adults having adult conversations, so there is the possibility of adult language." Listen with discretion of language bothers you or if you have kiddos around.)
CRAFTSANITY PODCAST Jennifer, you have the best jingle. I drive my Hubster nuts singing it. You also have marvelous content-- I love the variety of makers you talk to because I find makers outside my own current pursuit of quilting very, very inspiring.
MY CREATIVE CORNER 3 When I started listening to Pam and some of the other Twilter podcasters, Vicki was a fellow listener. We've gotten to know each other a bit via Facebook, and now she has her own podcast! Huzzah! She lives up in the land of snow, so I enjoy hearing about her weather challenges as well her quilting.
AMERICAN PATCHWORK AND QUILTING RADIO We all love Pat Sloan! She runs the show interviewing several guests in each episode and keeping me up to date on the latest quilty news.
WHILE SHE NAPS WITH ABBY GLASSENBERG Abby also interviews wonderful creative guests. I love that her focus is on business development-- something many creatives desire but don't always know where to start.
SIT & SEW RADIO Hosted by Stephanie of Quilt Addicts Anonymous, Sit & Sew Radio is also an interview show. Can you tell I just can't get enough? She currently sews in her sunroom/dining room which I deeply admire because I cannot imagine NOT having a DOOR (for closing) to my sewing room.
MODERN SEWCIETY PODCAST Just to cause confusion, another Stephanie hosts this podcast, the newest in my line up. I'm drawn to her because, though she's been at this quilting thing longer than I have, I feel like we're both figuring out the whole business thing (except that she's on a first name basis with amazing people like Bonnie Hunter, Tula Pink, and Alison Glass. No big). Like I said, I'm only a few episodes in, but I'm pretty much binge listening and loving it.
Dear Podcasting Friends, Thank you for recording and posting your episodes for all of us to enjoy! Happy listening, everyone! I hope you love at least some of these folks as much as I do, and I hope they keep you company while you work this weekend.
One other thing: If you haven't already, be sure to check out the Facebook Live videos I do periodically on the String and Story page. Be sure to "like" the page to maximize your chance of getting a notification when I go live, and click the "videos" tab on the left to see all previous recordings. Enjoy!

One of the greatest pleasures in design rests most innately in the objects we touch and connect with. A tangible series of merging geometric planes and shapes that can trigger memories, stories or even new ideas that we may not be conscious of yet. I had the pleasure of spending an entire week at such a place on my last trip to New York City. Amidst the colourful product catalog that the Big Apple had to offer, I found myself lost in a world of minimalistic masses cured from solid brass, forged from iron and carved from wood.
The owners, fellow Edmontonians Stevenson Aung and Angelique Chmielewski (designers themselves), both moved to New York City to start Nalata Nalata, a store that finds its objects first and foremost from the roots of a "backstory" (one I would like to describe as "an evolving entity"). The store began as an online venue and blog, with Angelique and Stevenson's yearly trips to Japan, heavily researching and scouting out local factories and design studios. As they both began meticulously curating their brand, the uniqueness of the clientele grew in parallel to the uniqueness of their products.
Every object you hold in your hand comes from the production process of another individual: the errors, attention to detail and, most importantly, the preservation of an ongoing tradition that constantly requires fine-tuning and editing. In an industry where our design tools have become so technologized, I found the unmechanized pattern that seem to echo in all of their products to be richly refreshing. In the root of it all, you bring home something imperfectly perfect. Our everyday tools crafted from people themselves. Now isn't that something worth preserving?

Gustavus F. Swift House
by: chicago designslinger
[Gustavus F. Swift House (1898) Flanders & Zimmerman, architects /Image & Artwork: chicago designslinger]
There once was a time when the name Swift meant meat and not a boat that derailed a presidential campaign. Over 100 years ago Gustavus Swift financed a venture that provided fresh-cut meat to America - and the world - via refrigerated railroad cars which in turn made the Swift name synonomous with everything from bacon to lamb chops, and pork roasts to lunchmeat.
[Gustavus F. Swift House, 4848 S. Ellis Avenue, Chicago /Image & Artwork: chicago designslinger]
Gustavus Swift was not a Chicago native, but he was one of the men who made the city famous - or infamous - as the largest meat production center on the planet. He came to the city in 1875 to check-out the cattle buying market. Swift had started his career as a butcher outside Boston in 1853 at the ripe old age of 14. He was nothing if not tenacious, and by 1875 had built-up a nice little business operation for himself purchasing cattle, pigs and sheep, and selling his dressed meat across Cape Cod. Dressing is basically the slaughtering, carving and finishing of an animal carcass for human consumption. Chicago was emerging a central distribution point for the vast number of cattle and pigs being raised across the Midwest and Swift was interested in getting closer to the source. So he moved his family out west and set-up his business.
[Gustavus F. Swift House, Hyde Park - Kenwood National Historic District, Chicago /Image & Artwork: chicago designslinger]
The Swift clan moved into a house at the northwest corner of 45th Street and Emerald Avenue. The home was big enough to hold a family that included Swift, his wife Ann, and their six children. By 1882 the house was bursting at the seams since by that time Gustavus and Ann had added five more children to the brood. The massive Chicago stockyards were located just a block away, so Swift had an easy commute. The short distance worked-out well for the butcher from Massachusetts, a man consumed with work who had no time for play. In 1885 when Swift & Co. became a corporation it was capitalized at $300,000 (around $8 million today) - by 1887 it would be recapitalized at $3 million. Swift & Co. not only processed millions of cattle, pigs and sheep a year, but the entrprenuerial dresser revolutionized the meat industry when he helped develop and pay for the first successful refrigerated railroad car. But although the delivery system, processed meats and their by-products like glue and brush bristles had made Swift a wealthy man, he stayed put in his house on Emerald Avenue. He certainly had the resources to join other Chicago movers and shakers in much fancier neighborhoods, and in a substantially larger house, but he liked living close to work - and his workers. At the time, the Town of Lake Directory listed twenty Swift & Co. employees - from clerks to carvers - living on Emerald Avenue within a block of the Swifts. And on the next street over, Winter (now Union), fifteen Swift employees lived just north and south of 45th Street.
[Gustavus F. Swift House - Garage, Stable & Servants Quarters, Kenwood Historic District, Chicago /Image & Artwork: chicago designslinger]
Then as the year 1897 drew to a close, at age 59, Gustavus Swift made a surprise announcement to his family - he was ready to move. In 1897 male life expentency in the U.S. was 45.7 years, Swift had been working since he was 14, and he was beginning to slow down. He was also beginning to turn over the day-to-day operations of the business to his sons. He purchased one of the largest residential lots in the very chic Kenwood neighborhood, and built a house befitting his standing in the world of business and finance. The home, designed by architects Flanders & Zimmerman, was substantial. So was the garage/stable/servants quarters built at the rear of the property. But just four years after the house was completed in 1898, the Swift's overworked body gave out. He died in his home due to complications after having had gall bladder surgery. By the time Ann Swift died at home in 1922, the Swift boys had turned their father's company into a multi-billion dollar operation. The stock yards are now gone, the enormous Swift packing house complex is dust, the Emerald Avenue dwelling has been replaced by a park, Swift & Co. is owned by a Brazilian conglomerate, but the house that Swift built on Ellis Avenue still stands.

2015/16 Scholarship Award
The 2015/16 Scholarship Award was presented to Linda Dean in July 2015 ready for her to undertake a Level 3 in hairdressing.
Last year Linda passed Hairdressing level 2. She wanted to carry on with Level 3 but the course was too expensive and there were funding cuts for deaf people in education. She is a single mother and couldn't afford to fund herself. She was awarded a grant through our Scholarship programme. Without the scholarship she wouldn't have been able to complete the course.
"Total Communication's Scholarship scheme / grant has helped me lots and I hope to achieve my level 3 qualification. It will also be a great help to deaf people who can't communicate with a hearing hairdresser. I hope to work with the deaf community as a mobile hairdresser." - Linda

Granville was settled by New Englanders from Granville, Massachusetts and Granby, Connecticut, who were interested in moving west to find more fertile farmland. Both communities were represented in a scouting party that was sent to Ohio to identify and evaluate property for future settlement. The returning party recommended the purchase of land in what would become Granville Township and the Licking Company was formed in 1804 with 107 subscribers to purchase more than 29,000 acres of land.

Do Svidaniya
As you are reading this, Tyler and I are somewhere between Syktyvkar and Paris. We've spent the last nine months, to the day, living in Russia and experiencing a life that ten years ago I would never have believed was in store for me. We were given the rare opportunity to live in a part of the world not many foreigners, especially Americans, ever step foot in. We were able to do so much in that time and I've had such a great time documenting it. Here are some of the highlights from the past year:
We ate and made lots of new foods.
We experienced the Russian seasons.
Fall, winter, winter, winter, spring(ish)
We took part in Russian culture and traditions.
We made new friends and fun memories.
We traveled to some of the major cities in Russia.
And we visited other places as well.
Most importantly, we experienced something incredible and unique together.
We'll undoubtedly be back to Russia in the future, but for now, we're looking forward to heading home, with one pitstop along the way...

This page is a StarCraft Wiki Policy.
The shortcut link for this page is POL:FAN.
The wiki is mostly unconcerned with the majority of fan-made content. Such material that is included on the wiki are deemed to have outstanding notability but are not considered canon and have no place in lore articles. Fan content may come from a variety of sources:
- Fan-made content acknowledged by Blizzard Entertainment (eg. Vespene Laughs) or on occasion, other impartial sources
- Notable content not authorized by Blizzard Entertainment (eg. StarCraft: Stellar Forces).
When creating a fan-based article, there are a few pointers to keep in mind:
- Fanfiction is not permitted on this wiki—any fanfic material should be regulated to the StarCraft Fan Fiction Wiki. Stories that do well in Blizzard's annual writing contest are a potential exception, but should be grouped together where possible. This broadly includes fan comics, with Vespene Laughs being one such example.
- Fan art is permissible to be uploaded as per the site's image policy. However, it must be reserved to user pages, and should not be given articles of its own unless part of a specific contest started by Blizzard, if at all.
- Fan maps are permitted when recognized by Blizzard or an impartial source. However, they should be kept to one article. No matter how detailed the game mechanics may be, those mechanics must remain in the same article and not be included in canon sources.
- In all cases, remember to show restraint on what is and isn't included, and group material where possible. For example, BlizzCon contest material should be contained to their host articles.

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt walks out of Pune's Yerwada Jail.
Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt walks out a free man from Pune's Yerwada Jail this morning. He was convicted in 1993 Mumbai blasts case, where he completed his remaining 42-month sentence. He walks out of jail for the last time. And along with wife Manyata and a few close friends from the film fraternity, his 'Mumbai Bhai' franchise director Raj Kumar Hirani will be waiting for him outside.
Sanjay was released from Pune's Yerwada jail at 8:37am.
After walking out of the jail, Dutt bowed down, touched the soil and turned towards the prison gate and saluted. Dutt's wife Manyata, Bollywood director Raj Kumar Hirani received him outside the prison. "There is no easy walk to freedom, my friends. I am here because of the support of my family and friends," said Dutt after coming out of prison.
A few weeks ago, Mirror had learnt that the beleaguered actor had wanted to get back to work immediately upon his release. This shoot was planned keeping his expressed desire in mind.
The actor will take a chartered flight to Mumbai from Pune's Lohegaon airport around 10:30 AM. He is likely to visit Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai, and then proceed to seek blessing at his mother's grave at Marine Lines.
Earlier, a group of people was detained for protesting outside the prison against Dutt's early release. An activist has also filed a PIL against the actor's early release, alleging special treatment. The PIL is likely to be heard on Thursday itself.
Pradeep Bhalekar, a Mumbai social activist, filed the petition in Bombay High Court, seeking its intervention in cancelling the jail authorities' "wrong and illegal" decision to grant the actor a remission on his sentence.
"He was an accused in the 1993 Mumbai blasts that left over 200 people dead. He was convicted by the Supreme Court for five years. According to norms, he did not even have to serve the full term because he had already served 18 months as an undertrial. And now he gets this eight-month remission. Is this right?" Bhalekar said.
"Thousands of undertrials and common convicts of petty offences rot in jail for years though their sentences might have got over. And this man gets preferential treatment because he is a celebrity. I have filed the PIL to seek the court's view on the matter," he added.
1993 Mumbai blasts
The actor Sanjay Dutt was arrested in April 1993 and later convicted for illegal possession of an automatic assault rifle, a part of cache of arms and ammunition that landed ahead of the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts in which 257 people were killed.
In 2013, Dutt was sentenced to five years of imprisonment. He had already served 18 months behind the bars after being jailed in 1996, and so was ordered to serve the remaining 42 months. Dutt's prison sentence has been mired in controversies due to the repeated paroled and furloughs he obtained.
