Unless you've recently inherited bags of money, buying a luxury car probably isn't an option. That, however, doesn't mean you have to settle for a potential lemon either. With automakers vying for increased market share (i.e. your business), reliable and well-equipped cars are becoming increasingly more affordable.
For under $25K, you can drive off in a great car. Whether you crave the sexy looks of a two-seat convertible or the all-terrain capability of an SUV, automakers have your fix. Check out the following list of eight cars that are exceptional values.
2011 Ford Fiesta
Finance Deal: 4.9% for 36 months; Expires 9/30/2010
Ford gives city slickers a reason to celebrate with the all-new Fiesta. In addition to its mini-car proportions and chic Euro-styling, the Fiesta features one of the nicest interiors in its class. The SEL and SES trims even come with Ford's highly-acclaimed SYNC infotainment system. But that's not all -- the Fiesta is zippy and fuel-efficient too. Ford says it nets an impressive city/highway fuel economy of 30/40 mpg. Combined with seven airbags and room for five passengers, it's no wonder why critics are calling the Ford Fiesta a success. AutoWeek writes, "Against more familiar models -- the Chevrolet Aveo, the Honda Fit and the Toyota Yaris -- the Fiesta rises above this competition and every other segment."
2011 Hyundai Sonata
Finance Deal: 2.9% APR for 60 months; Expires 6/30/2010
Lease Deal: $199 for 36 months with $2,399 due at signing; Expires 6/30/2010
Thanks to a complete redesign, the 2011 Hyundai Sonata is better than ever. It looks sharp, handles well, features loads of standard interior features and packs more cargo than most competitors. The new Sonata is also the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid car in its class -- boasting an EPA-estimated city/highway fuel economy of 24/35 mpg. Add in Hyundai's solid five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and ten-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and the 2011 Sonata is an exceptional value. According to Edmunds, "This is, quite frankly, a tremendous amount of car for the money."
2010 Jeep Wrangler
Finance Deal: 0% APR for 36 months; No expiration date listed
Though originally designed for WWII combat, the Jeep Wrangler has since become an American icon. It's not particularly luxurious or good looking, but its class-leading off-road capabilities sure impress. In fact, Car and Driver calls the 2010 Wrangler "the quintessential rugged Jeep." Perfect for everyone from hikers to surfers, and every adventurer in between, the Jeep Wrangler features a rugged all-purpose design and three convertible top options that allow drivers to choose between different levels of exposure. For fun in the sun, snow, sleet or ice, the Wrangler makes the perfect ride.
2010 Chevrolet Camaro
Deal: See dealer for current offers
In terms of curb appeal, there's no better choice than the all-new Chevrolet Camaro. Its modern take on a classic American style locks eyes, turns heads and drops jaws faster than just about anything at this price point (and even above it). The Camaro even has the moves to back up its bad boy image. Equipped with a 304-horsepower V6, it's got the chops to keep other ponies at bay. "If you want a great-looking car that expresses your personality without forcing you to take out a second mortgage on the declining value of your home, you have to like the Camaro," writes Kelley Blue Book.
2010 Toyota Prius
Finance Deal: 2.9% APR for 60 months (in some regions); Expires 6/30/2010
Lease Deal: $179 per month for 36 months with $1,799 due at signing (in some regions); Expires 6/30/2010
The undisputed queen of hybrid vehicles, the Toyota Prius nets a combined city/highway fuel economy rating of 50 mpg -- with many drivers reporting even greater results. Best of all, these figures don't come at an expense to the Prius' performance abilities. Test drivers report that it's adequately powered and comfortable to drive. Plus, the Prius' spacious cabin and 15.7 cubic feet of cargo room make it easy to live with on a daily basis. If green commutes top your priority list, there's still no better choice than the Toyota Prius. "When gas prices go back up, you'll wish you had one," comments the New York Times.
Mazda MX-5 Miata
Lease Deal: $269 per month for 36 months with $3,364 due at signing; Expires 6/30/2010
Not only is the drop-top Miata sharp looking, but it has the performance chops to leave more expensive cars in the dust. According to Consumer Guide, "This Best Buy delivers as much driving enjoyment -- if not outright power -- as two-seat sports cars costing thousands more." While other roadsters may blast from 0 to 60 mph in less time, few come close to matching the Miata's thrilling handling dynamics -- especially at this price point. The cherry on top is its superb history of reliability and optional automatic retractable hard top. The Miata only seats two, so it may not be ideal for everyone. But for those who can live with its limited passenger space, there's nothing more satisfying.
Subaru Outback
Finance Deal: 2.9% APR; Expires 6/30/2010
Lease Deal: $285 per month for 42 months with $1,985 due at signing; Expires 6/30/2010
Known for its quirky styling, the Subaru Outback balances a car-like ride with SUV utility like few vehicles can. And because all-wheel drive is standard, it's more sure-footed and versatile than most of its competitors. Like the Jeep Wrangler, the Outback's rugged all-purpose design makes it perfect for adventure seekers. However, its five-passenger cabin and 71.3 cubic feet of cargo room make it well-suited for soccer moms too. Autoblog describes the 2010 Subaru Outback as "a terrific piece of equipment that offers the fortitude of a bison wrapped in the appeal of a pony."
GMC Terrain
Finance Deal: 6.9% APR for 72 months; Expires 6/30/2010
Lease Deal: $329 per month for 39 months with $2,179 due at signing; Expires 6/30/2010
The all-new GMC Terrain adds one heck of a value package to the class of affordable compact SUVs. It shares its underpinnings with the highly-acclaimed Chevrolet Equinox, but looks much bolder. "Where the Chevy is sort of soft-looking and inoffensive, the Terrain is a louder, more look-at-me vehicle," writes Jalopnik. "It can be had with more chrome than any GM vehicle in recent memory, and decked out in a suit of black, it looks pretty dang sharp." It also features loads of snazzy yet practical interior gadgets. Among them are a standard rearview camera, an iPod interface and a sliding rear seat. Even better, the Terrain leads its class with a highway fuel economy rating of 32 mpg.

Suryayoga is a combination of two Sanskrit words, Surya and Yoga. `Surya` means `Sun` and `yoga` means `to yoke` or together which literally means to amalgamate with the sun - become one. It is an energetic, dynamic and rejuvenating style of yoga based on a unique series of Sun Salutations. By practicing Suryayoga one can balance and organize chemical, bio-electric, and bio-magnetic powers in the body. Surya Yoga helps in revitalise energy and negate illnesses of the mind and body. It is a blend of yoga, nada (sound), rishi gyan and Buddha stage (silence). It is an advanced form of yoga that helps an individual merge with nature. The best time to practice Surya yoga is at sunrise or sunset when the harmful ultra-violet rays are not present. Daily practicing of Suryayoga will balance the five elements in the body.
Surya Jowel, popularly known as Surya Swami, is the founder of the Suryayoga movement. Surya Yoga, according to him, is done in nine steps, and when perfected can activate the body chakras or power points, opening up the path to self-realisation. "The photons from the sun can help smoothen and enlighten the body, prana, mind and soul to come together in a straight line. The omnipotent Suryas presence can change, arrange, reduce, remove imbalances and organise the chemical, bio-chemical, bio-electrical and bio-magnetic powers in living beings," claims the Swami.
Sunlight has great therapeutic value. The importance of Sun was realised very early by the ancient civilizations. It was given the status of a God and worshipped from time immemorial.

"Complimentary alternative medicine use is common in women with gynecologic cancers. Cannabinoid receptors are potential therapeutic targets in ovarian cancer. Communication with patients is critical regarding use of alternative therapies." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31193514
In this case report, we present the case of a female patient who demonstrated disease response after declining standard therapy and taking a combination of Laetrile and CBD oil. Previous clinical trials in humans have demonstrated no therapeutic effect in cancer patients taking Laetrile. However, basic science studies have identified cannabinoid receptors in ovarian cancer as potential therapeutic targets for cannabinoid use in treating malignancy.
In this case report, we highlight a dramatic response to combination Laetrile and CBD oil in a patient with widely metastatic Low grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC).
Laetrile is a semi-synthetic version of amygdaline, a chemical compound found in plants and fruit seeds. Both Laetrile and amygdaline contain cyanide within a common structural component. Theoretically, Laetrile has anti-cancer effects when cyanide is released via enzymatic degradation. However, a Cochrane review published in 2015 found no randomized or quasi randomized control trials supporting the use of Laetrile in cancer patients. Further, they argued that due to the risk of cyanide poisoning, Laetrile use should be discouraged in patients seeking the compound for alternative cancer therapy. Concerns for toxicity in combination with inability to demonstrate clinical efficacy led to an effective ban on the substance by the FDA in the 1980s. Nevertheless, the substance remains available for purchase in variable formulations commercially.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound naturally derived from the cannabis plant.
The anti-cancer effects of CBD have been evaluated predominantly in the laboratory setting. Interestingly, ovarian cancer cell lines express GPR55, a target that is inhibited indirectly by CBD and that plays a role in prostate and ovarian cancer cell proliferation. Mouse model studies have also demonstrated cannabinoids inhibit tumor cell growth and induce apoptosis in gliomas, lymphomas, prostate, breast, lung, skin, and pancreatic cancer cells."

After the release of Atmosphere 0.92 with full firmware support 8.1 and NyX.0 , the tumGER developer released a new version 13.0.1 of Kosmos along with a package with Pegascape for patched console consoles with 1.0.0-3.0 firmware. 0 or 4.0.1-4.1.0 . This solution is nothing more than SDFilesSwitch, a reference point for the Nintendo Switch console, a package that includes all the files necessary for the execution of hekate, SwitchBlade or LayeredFS and a custom firmware such as Atmosphere plus very useful homebrews like Goldleaf, AppstoreNX, EdiZon, LayeredFS Hekate and SDFileUpdater compatible with various versions of Nintendo Switch firmware. The package can be customized through this web pageof the developer. Warning: to upgrade to this new version in case you already have Kosmos you must first delete the following folders from your microSD / atmosphere / bootloader / modules / sept
- Updated package
- Firmware start and suspension mode for each firmware
- Starting the games after starting the working Homebrew Menu
- Splash Screens and immediate launch (SwitchBlade)
- Game Mod (LayeredFS Hekate)
- An FTP server in the background
- Atmosphere
How to use it
- Download Hekate or use the payload provided with the package
- Download the latest version for your chosen bootloader and extract it to the root of your SD card switch
- Start the payload of your choice via eg. Fusée Gelée , TegraRcmSmash or WebCFWLoader
- Finished!
– Atmosphere fork – Homebrew Menu – Homebrew Loader – AppstoreNX – EdiZon – KosmosUpdater – Sys-FTPD – Sys-netcheat – Hekate – Checkpoint – Ldn_mitm – Goldleaf
- Updated to the latest shadow version of Atmosphere which corrects loading and starting Cheat with switches 4.xx.
- Disable the cheats are loaded automatically. Use EdiZon to enable them
- He has made Hekate profile names a little clearer
and especially:
- Improvements to the overall stability of the system to improve the user experience.
After a lot of teasers and a lot of speculation, we finally released Pegascape. A DNS that combines 90DNS and a user-friendly PegaSwitch frontend in an easy-to-use DNS. Anyone who wants to protect themselves from Nintendo servers can use it, but there's even more.
As many already know, patched switches cannot access Homebrew as the only way to access homebrew (easily) was to use the fusee gelee. However, this has changed with the recent documentation of defects related to "Deja Vu". These concatenates allow a potential access point up to 7.0.1.
Stuckpixel has quickly made use of it by releasing "nereba", a currently only 1.0 implementation that allows any payload to be started. This was quickly followed by "Caffeine", caffeine allows us to start 2.0, 3.0 and more recently, 4.1, which means that IPATCHED switches can now restart in payload. And here comes the big part, you can do it all with a click of a button and without ever installing or starting anything from you.
Just go to https://pegascape.sdsetup.com for more information.
- Introducing Nyx v0.8.0
Nyx is the hekate GUI. It contains many features, such as FastFS, emuMMC management, customization, etc.

The Primrose Path Organic Shiraz 2018 (Australia)
Awarded 93/100 Points & 5 Stars
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2019
- French oak
- Sweet cherry
- Mixed spice
- Smooth mouthfeel
"Attractively fruited and immediately appealing, the wine shows sweet cherry, dark plum, floral and mixed spice characters on the nose with subtle cedary complexity. The palate is succulent and plump with excellent fruit intensity and smooth mouthfeel, finishing long and very tasty. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2019
Blackberry and plum fruit with black pepper spice lead the nose and it flows delightfully through the palate. This is a richly scented and flavoursome wine with bright fruit, supportive oak and fine natural acidity. This wine is drinking beautifully now in it's youth.
Sourced exclusively from fourth generation vignerons, the Grigoriou family who are based in the heart of the dry grown vineyards of the Monash Valley. Here the vines are stronger, healthier and simply put, produce exceptional fruit year in and year out.
These well-established vineyards, up to 30 years of age, are planted in some of Australia's most fertile soils. At just under two hours from the famed Barossa, the area is rich in nutrients, has a mostly dry climate and receives most of rainfall through Autumn, which is perfect timing. The vineyards have good vigour, so vines are regulated with drip irrigation and planted widely to allow for growth also allowing the air flow to reduce disease pressure and help sustain organic practices.
2018 began well with solid winter rains replenishing the soil from the year prior. The vines had very good vigour throughout spring but with the drying of summer it was kept in check. A couple of light rain events in the new year and cool weather kept ripening at moderate pace before beautiful warm days and sunshine toward the end of summer finished ripening off perfectly. This should be considered a very good year for most growers.
The fruit for this wine was harvested early, so before getting too ripe in flavour and sugars to ensure fine natural acidity remained in the resultant wine. A short fermentation period solely in stainless steel was followed by partial storage in second use French oak barrels and the remainder in stainless steel. Post maturation the wine was carefully blended with and bottled. Over-all the wine saw minimal handling and intervention. Crafted solely to ensure crisp, fresh fruit flavours are maintained.

ATLANTA — The Everflowing River Jordan Church, which is totally not a cult by the way, is now employing the phrase "fallen away" to describe those who have stopped attending the church. At first, the church sends a few current members to the homes of the fallen away. If the ex-member won't come back, the church elders lead the congregation to pray for the "miserable wretch's soul." The elders attribute an awful moral disease to them breaking away. The church proudly proclaims itself to be a teacher of the Word as it was intended to be told, unlike other places of worship. It also encourages its members, known as "the family," to give their best offerings as Abel did in the bible. The church prefers check, but cash is fine, too. While the elders are reportedly ecstatic about the "fallen away" phrase they came up, saying that its similarity to "passed away" really emphasizes that the ex-members are dead to them, they are even more thrilled about their new slogan, "It's our river, or no river."
Church That's Totally Not a Cult Comes Up With Catchy Phrase to Describe Ex-Members

Gary Ross may still come back for Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games reports Deadline.com.Yesterday an "exclusive" by indiewire/ The playlist'sKevin Jagernauthasserted that Ross had "officially exited the franchise and will not direct the sequel, formally giving Lionsgate and Summit his notice earlier this week, that he will not be coming back."
The article went on to claim that Ross had left the movie franchise-to-be not because of money (despite a "lowball salary offer"), but because "the burning desire simply isn't there to spend another couple of years with Katniss in the Capitol."
Be that as it may, Deadline's Nikki Finke and Mike Flemingsay they've heard "from multiple sources close toCatching Firethat director Gary Ross has not formally withdrawn fromThe Hunger Games sequel. Ross is off on a family vacation and couldn't be reached, but these internet reports that described his withdrawal as definitive are simply not accurate."Finke and Fleming add that "Ross lobbied hard to getThe Hunger Gamesand turned it into the biggest hit of his directing career." Not that Ross has had a long career as a director:PleasantvilleandSeabiscuit, both featuring Tobey Maguire, are the only other feature films to his credit.
Prior toThe Hunger Games, Deadline affirms, "he developed several serious historical dramatic projects under his deal at Universal that didn't get off the ground." And that sounds kinda surprising, considering that in 2003Seabiscuitgrossed $120 million at the North American Box Office (though it flopped overseas with only $28 million) and went on to earn a Best Picture Oscar nomination.
Anyhow, Deadline expects Ross to be back behind the cameras forCatching Fire. Unless, that is, that "lowball salary offer" becomes a problem. And we're back to this issue being all about contractual matters.

UK Shooting News' author is aware that WordPress' email system, besides sending my name and mugshot to each UKSN subscriber, is for some reason claiming every new post on the blog is titled "Auto Draft". This is a bug. Exactly who I have to shout at to get the bug sorted is a mystery at present, but I'm working on it.
"Ray Mills guns". Every day for the past six months someone has come to UKSN after searching Google for that term. Who are you and can I help you at all? Please do drop me a line. (new readers may not be aware that this blog covered Mills' arrest and later suicide in some depth. He was a Kent RFD and antiques dealer accused of possessing prohibited weapons and illegally selling primed cartridge cases, having been arrested following what appears to have been a police entrapment operation)

I've been having trouble praying and going to worship because there are too many voices. Being psychotic has made my time with God difficult. I hallucinate voices that make it hard to concentrate. It is distraction and I have trouble concentrating. Its left me to wonder if God is hearing me over the voices. If it is not acceptable to be able to pray for a little bit at a time.
But then I remembered in the Psalms God always hear the psalmist. Nothing can separate me from God's love (Romans 8:38). Distractions cannot prevent God from our worship and God hears our prayers in loud talkative places. What matters is that we give praises and we express our feelings to the Lord. There is no right or wrong way to pray.
Even if the distraction is a migraine, some other chronic pain, or talkative hallucinations.

Last Sunday was the day I was meant to conquer the Bondi to Bronte. Hmmmm, well that did not happen. Why? It's quite simple really - I got scared and freaked out. And I'm okay with it.
I didn't start off scared. I was really excited about wearing my new Bondi to Bronte cossie. I was even excited when we got to the beach. But that excitement soon changed as the wind started to pick up quite ferociously and the ocean started to get choppy. I could feel my anxiety levels start to pick up dramatically and no matter how hard I tried to squash them with positive affirmations - I just couldn't get over it.
Believe me I flitted from "I'm going to do it" to "No way, I'm outta here" more times than I would like to count. My cap went on and off equally as many times - but when push came to shove and it was time for the black caps to line up - the first thought that came out of my mouth was "I'm not doing it". And so it was there that my day ended.
So anyway, here is a very brief montage of my experience:
That is all.

Food Engineering Magazine's annual State of Manufacturing Survey is here, and it shows the industry has a lot of room for growth, despite taking some extremely positive steps last year. In this year's survey, 72% of respondents reported that they have a food safety management system in place, and 69% report having a recall plan.
Though having a food safety management system in place isn't the same as being FSMA-ready, in 2014, only 38% of those surveyed said they followed FSMA recommendations, and in 2015, manufacturers reported 41% compliance.
GFSI Adoption and Food Safety Management Systems Grow
As FSMA has begun to take effect this year, more plants are adopting Global Food Safety Initiative programs like BRC, SQF 2000 and FSSC 2200. Plants are following these schemes, which all include an audit protocol, to ensure they're ready for the possibility of an audit by the FDA, as well as to ensure they're following current best practices. These programs often include measures like color coding facilities to minimize cross-contamination and using durable tools that are less likely to contribute to foreign body contamination.
Allergen Controls Reportedly Used Less
It's tempting, as an industry, to be satisfied with this growth. However, as plant managers put some measures and checks into place, they're leaving others by the wayside. Food safety management systems and recall plans have gone up in use, but allergen controls, which could prevent recalls like the 2016 Oreo undeclared allergen recall, have declined in use.
Food Safety Magazine reports that 34% of all recalls between 2009-2012 occurred because of undeclared allergens. In 2015, that number was 33%. The lesson? We aren't getting any better at controlling allergens and allergen cross-contamination. Now isn't the time to step back on things like allergen control, especially when the FDA reports more consumers have food allergies than ever.
Lot-Level Traceability Experiences Sharp Decline
Traceability, a process done using adhesive labeling that tracks products from the farm to consumer's hands, experienced a sharp decrease in use this year. It's entirely possible the track-and-trace feature has been incorporated into ERPs or other inventory systems, but the survey doesn't have a way of reflecting that possibility. Either way, the 15% decline in its use is unexpected in a year that's been dotted with around 450 food recalls, according to the FDA's website.
Looking Forward
It could be, as Food Engineering Magazine proposes, that other safety plans have made some measures redundant, but it's worth examining whether stricter FDA regulations have made plants fall back onto the bare minimum, or whether safety and efficiency really are walking side-by-side now.

Today is Day Three of National Stationery Week!
Just in case you didn't catch yesterday's National Stationery Week post for Get Crafty Day, have a nose HERE Get Crafty-National Stationery Week!
Throughout this week, I'll be sharing a post a day on here, with some of my top choices for your stationery needs, and some of our family favourites!
Today's is actually World Stationery Day!!!
To coincide with this momentous day, we're including a real variety of stationery products!
First up are these absolutely awesome Dog in a Box Page Markers. I don't think I can do these justice-they're too cute for words-just look at their little heads poking over the top of my project book from Wilko!
From Mustard, each design holds 50 page markers, so you get 100 in a pack of two designs.
The stickiness doesn't wear off too fast, meaning you can take them off of one page and re-stick them back onto another!
I literally can't stop looking at the little doggie's faces peeking out at me!!!
These are priced at only £4.95*! Head over to Mustard's website to buy them!
The project book itself holds some of my future plans. My blogging goals, our holiday plans, our Wedding renewal plans and our Family Honeymoon ideas! As you can see (but the children cannot-it's a secret), I use a lot of pens and pencils to decorate each page (yep, I'm a ten year old!). One of my favourites is this truly unique gel pen from Maped.
I say it's unique, because I've genuinely never used anything quite like this before.
Not only are they easier for little hands to use because of their unparalleled gliding sensation, but they're also twistable, meaning clean hands-yes parents of messy children, clean hands!!!
Not just that (this is by far the best bit), they're watercolour crayons! Add water to the picture, and, voila, watercolour painting!
I literally cannot recommend these enough! They're available in packs of 6 (£4.19*), 10 (£6.39*) or 12 (£7.90*) colours and are SO worth the money. To purchase, click HERE.
In one of my many other notepads, I keep my blog notes and sort money related things out. I LOVE to highlight stuff (true stationery geekiness coming through now), and this cute little highlighter from Edding is just the ticket!
With a refillable water-based ink in neon colours, they are also non-slip and ergonomically shaped to make writing a comfortable experience!
They are available from Amazon in 7 different colours, for £3.95* and you can get them by clicking HERE!
So, the notepad addiction. Anyone who knows me personally, will be able to confirm, I have to be organised. I love lists, I always have lists about my lists-and that kind of list dedication (yep, that's a thing), needs lots of notepads!
This Nu Elite Prestige Jotter is beautiful. This one is A7 size with a black PU leather finish and has a handy elastic pen holder stitched into the inside.
There is also an elasticated closure to secure the pad (which is handy as I'm one of those people that stuffs all manner of things inside the pages too).
At only £3.99 from Amazon, this jotter is so worth the money-to get yours click HERE!
The other notepad is pretty much a bloggers dream. From Sheaffer, the inside is laid out for bloggers to write their scheduled post plans in, and there are plain pages for notes (or lists-whatever takes your fancy). The edges of the paper glisten with silver, which makes for a beautiful finish when you close the book and inspect the sides with the pages together.
Currently, the Sheaffer website is under a major reconstruction-but put it in your bookmarks and have a look when it's up and running soon.
Why don't you get involved with National Stationery Week! Grab your favourite stationery and get creating!!!! For more inspiration, head over to the National Stationery Week website HERE!

Who Am I
For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to have a camera in my hand, to capture a special moment, a beautiful view, or maybe even something small that no one else seemed to notice.
Growing up, I was the child who had three or four disposable cameras for a five-day stay at camp. I was also the "family photographer" on vacations, holding hostage the camera my parents had brought along. In high school, when I first started to study photography, and I was lucky enough to continue studying in college. It was in school that my interest in photography became a passion, and that passion has continued to grow.Since then, I have been privileged to take my camera around the world, from my life in Southwest Florida to a destinations around the world, trips through our great United States, Japan, France, London,UK, Belgium, Italy, Windward Islands, Barbados and The Netherlands to name some of my most favorite. The portfolios capture my photographs not only from weddings and other projects, but from my everyday life and my travels as well. I'm always excited to see what the future has in store!

Angie's List has a strong history, I remember 7 years ago when I first put my business on there and had a decent if perhaps a little underwhelming experience. But I've had small business clients get serious amounts of business off of Angie's List so I went hunting for contractors and small businesses experience. Does Angie's List get them leads?
- Though the overwhelming majority of businesses were negative, there are 2 below that talk about the positives.
- It seems SOME businesses were extremely successful on Angie's List, though they were also very aggressive about getting reviews.
- We strongly suggest OWNING your lead-generation systems with your website and SEO, rather than relying on any third-party.
Reddit's take on Angie's List
Some hot takes from Youtube
3 Harsh Angie's List Reviews from Consumer Affairs
"Please feel free to reach out to me at **. I signed up as a roofing/remodeling company contractor with Angie's List in March! I received a total of 9 leads of which 4 were fake unverified leads that I could not even reach. The other 5 were just window shopping. I was only able to schedule 3 out of the 5 for an appointment. 2 were not actually ready to do anything, just wanted quotes and only 1 may potentially be a customer. I have reached out to Angie's List with my disappointment and received 0 acknowledgement from the Angie's List team. Once they sign you up for a year then instead of trying to help or work something out, the only communication I receive is more junk advertisement attempts to get more money from me. Be careful, I would stay clear of this company. Complete waste of time and money!" – Dmitry of Naples, FL
"Don't waste your hard money with Liars and Losers. No leads, no customers and it is a 12 months contract. Don't sign anything from them. They are owned by HomeAdvisor that is the same owner of the old leads scammers ServiceMagic. STAY AWAY!!!!"- MARCOS of Westborough, MA
"I've been an Angie's List pro for about 2 months. Even though I was running my business on my own for a while I decided to stop due to a family emergency. I attempted to cancel my subscription and they are trying to charge me $1,000+ for a service I no longer need and THIS WAS NEVER DISCUSSED ON MY INITIAL SIGN UP. They never tell you this upfront! It's either that or continue to pay 300.00 a month for a business I no longer have and advertisement they are NO LONGER PROVIDING!" – Gerlinda of Boynton Beach, FL
It's not all bad – some good Angie's List Reviews
Angie's list has been the best advertising outlet we have ever used and we have serviced 1000s of customers through them. One of the problems I see with the people that complain is with the provider, not Angie's list. If you are Dealing with a A rated company or an F rated one, it's up to you and all you have to do is go on their page and write a review about the service. The Reason we have GREAT reviews is because we take care of our customers and they in turn give us GOOD REVIEWS. – Charlie of Millbrook, AL
A very insightful response to 'Why is Angie's List so terrible?' on Quora
Well, I'm not going to say it's terrible.
But I will say this:
For every person who says that Angie's list is great, another says how awful they are. It's tricky business. I know people who love Angie's List and I know others who won't touch it.
So what do you do with conflicting info? You look at data at scale.
There are some industry benchmarks you can look at to decide if an online lead source like Thumbtack is worth trying out (and paying for.)
A few things you need to consider:
- Cancellation Rates –Some sources have over a 50% cancellation rate. No joke. For example, Bing had a cancellation rate of 54% in 2018. That's crazy. (While Angie's List was only 11%.) You'll need a source with as low of a cancellation rate as possible.
- Price per job –Some sources are going to average you a much higher price per job than others. You'll definitely want to invest in those.
- Source Usage –Are other contractors joining or fleeing this source in droves? This can indicate that a source is going well (and it's receiving great word-of-mouth) or that a source is really not working out. For example, almost +38% more contractors started using Home Advisor in 2018 than in 2017, and -17% less contractors used Angie's list in 2018 than from 2017.
You're welcome to read this cool report that came out, where 3,500 Home Service Businesses were surveyed.
You can find out about a lot of industry trends there and decide for yourself whether it's a scam:
Advertising? Here's Where to Find More Work in 2019
Here's a really cool list of over 50+ online lead generation sources for Contractors, if you're in the market for new ad sources:
More than 50 Websites Like Thumbtack to Help You Find More Work
– Vanessa Purples, on Quora
And from an anonymous Angie's List employee on Quora:
"Going Anon on this, as Iaman Angie's List employee, and I don't want to give you a cookie-cutter answer.
Truth of the matter is that a slow roll-out of a new UX is occurring as you read this. Give it six more months, and the website and mobile apps should be more finely tuned and intuitive in functionality.
Canceling your membership doesn't require a phone call. You can always send a quick email to memberservices (AT) angieslist (DOT) com, and you should have no issues getting your membership cancelled. There's no user-end ability to do this, because sometimes members want to cancel for troubleshoot-able issues.
I would recommend using the email address I mentioned previously to contact Angie's List directly. It might seem like a "ripoff" to pay for these services, but after some of the horror stories I've seen come through about businesses in various markets across the US, it helps to have a mediator for those rare situations when everything goes completely wrong." – Anonymous Employee, Quora
So what's the alternative to Angie's List?
1. NextDoor App – find remodeling and other contractor jobs for free.
2. Thumbtack – get service based leads for relatively cheap.
3. Your Website + Industrial Strength SEO – Ideally you build your website into a traffic magnet.

The Witcher series has been one of the most successful gaming franchises - both critically and commercially - in recent years.
Based on the novels by Andrezj Sapokowski, the series follows Geralt of Rivia, a monster-slaying warrior known as a Witcher that's set in a fantasy land that bears a lot of resemblance to Eastern Europe in the medieval age. The latest game in the series, Wild Hunt, sees Geralt trying to keep his soulmate from a roving band of spectral elves that are trying to use her special powers for their own evil ends.
That, of course, is only the surface elements and Sapkowski's writings and the game itself is way, way deeper and will likely be explored in the upcoming series from Netflix.
This isn't Netflix's first foray into adapting videogames either, as it's been confirmed that classic Konami franchise Castlevania is being turned into a dark, adult-orientated animated series with producer Adi Shankar serving as showrunner.
As for The Witcher, it's early days yet and there's no word on who'll be playing Geralt, but it is known that Platige Image - who first broke the news - are working on the series. Platige Image are a Polish VFX company who created the cinematics for the entire Witcher series, with director Tomasz Baginski set to direct episodes of the series as well. As well as this, producer Sean Daniel - who worked on Syfy's The Expanse and the upcoming Mummy reboot with Tom Cruise.
So, thoughts? Netflix is obviously trying to build a series that could conceivably compete with Game Of Thrones, and the world of the games and novels is so rich with characters and events that there's plenty of mileage out of it. It's all in the execution, of course, and the series would have to appeal to everyone - not just hardcore fans of the series. Striking that balance between the two is key, but there looks to be enough weight and creative ability behind this that it should work.
As of now, there's no word on a release date.

As we continue our look at great cultures, we've seen the four quadrants of Mission, Adaptability, Involvement, and Consistency.
We're now looking at each quadrant in more detail. In our last blog post we identified the three elements in the Mission quadrant as
- Vision
- Goals and Objectives
- Strategic Direction and Intent.
In today's post and the next two to follow, I'm going to look at each of those elements in more detail.
Today we'll look at Vision. As the Denison Culture Survey digs deeper into Vision, it tends to focus on two key aspects of Vision
- The depth and motivating elements of the Vision
- How the Leaders respond and react to the Vision
One of the questions in this arena is a two-part question of how deeply the vision has been shared and is it clear what the organization will look like in the future.
We've touched on the depth of sharing earlier but it's worth going over again here.
I was working with a Fortune 50 company. I had spent most of my time with the ranks just below the C Suite level. At that level, they were very focused on the elements that would help them continue to flourish as one of the top companies in the world. They were developing stories, creating videos and building the elements into their software. They seemed to have a vision of their future.
Then I was introduced to one of the C Suite members and listened to him tell of the great vision that the CEO and other C Suite leaders were working on. When I asked about all of the vision pieces I had recently been working on with others down in his organization he looked at me curiously and said: "I haven't heard any of those stories but I'm excited about our vision."
The leaders were talking about different things than the rest of the organization. The did not have a shared vision! The vision must be the same vision no matter where in the organization it is being expressed.
Is the vision motivating? This is the second part of the vision question. There may be a vision that is unified and deep in the organization but if it doesn't inspire people to put forth the effort to reach the vision, it's not worth the ink it took to print it.
"Our vision is to be one of the top recognized companies in our slice of the market place!" Not really inspiring. I've occasionally tried a trick with some of my clients. I'll take their vision word-for-word but put one of their competitor's names in instead. When it's obvious that it could apply to either company equally, it's not inspiring. What makes you unique? What makes you different? What is something only you can accomplish? That's inspiring.
Leaders Response and Reaction
The other questions in this section relate to the leaders' ability to execute the vision. Leaders often talk in terms of the long-term but make decisions that obviously have short term (read quarterly) impact. They may be trying to satisfy the investors and market by hitting these quarterly goals but it hampers the companies to reach their vision.
I know that some companies have elected not to report quarterly. I wish more companies would do the same. It helps build a better vision and long-term health for the company.
Vision must penetrate deep into the organization and it needs to be motivating and inspiring as well.
Leaders must walk-the-talk. It does no good to talk a good vision then make decisions to hit quarterly goals that will hamper the companies ability to reach that vision.

Camosun's Jarred Callbeck, Men's Individual Leader at the Kwantlen Invitational
September 17, 2012, Surrey, BC (ISN) – A big win at this weekend's Kwantlen Invitational tournament in Surrey has bumped the Camosun College Chargers up to first place in the PACWEST men's golf standings.
Formerly in second place, Camosun came up a spot to overtake last week's leaders, the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades.
The Chargers shot the low scores on both days of the two-day tournament at the Hazelmere Golf and Country Club, finishing eight strokes ahead of the pack with a total of 593.
Charger newcomer Jarred Callbeck led the Camosun squad for a second week and captured the men's individual two-day low shooting 146 (72, 74). Camosun's Jared Hundza shot 148 (74, 74) to take fifth place, while teammates Brady Stead (74, 76) and Grant Maskiewich (75, 75) tied for tenth with totals of 150 apiece.
"Not a bad weekend for us," commented Chargers Head Coach John Randle. "Jarred Callbeck took individual honours and we won the event by eight. Still lots of work to do to eliminate some errors but our depth is paying off as Brady Stead and Grant Maskiewich, playing in our #4 and 5 spots both contributed solid scores for us this weekend. We are looking forward to a couple of weeks of practice to prepare for the third event at VIU."
The Vancouver Island University Mariners will host the next PACWEST tournament at the Nanaimo Golf and Country Club on September 29-30.
Heading into the third event of the four-tournament series, the Chargers lead by six strokes with a cumulative total of 1174. UFV is in second place with 1180 and VIU is third with 1185.

The crux of this Monthly Morsel is trust, when it's earned and when it's not.
Say what you mean, mean what you say
The point of this rant? Read your banqueting menus very carefully. When you see print that you think isn't true, call them out on it.
Attention all exhibit managers, this one's for you
When does it make sense to do catering in an exhibit? We have some food for thought.
The dirty business of banqueting cleanliness
Talk with the banqueting team during your planning process and share with them what you expect. All necessary cleaning must be done back of house and not on the floor.

In banqueting, learn to ask questions and then go in and negotiate price points accordingly.
You do the math …

The only black student: San Antonio resident and member of Norfolk 17 dies
Louis Cousins, a San Antonio resident who was one of 17 black students who desegregated public schools in Virginia in 1959, died Monday at the age of 76. Cousins died from heart failure, according to The Virginia-Pilot.
Five years after the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark Brown vs. the Board of Education that ruled segregation in schools as unconstitutional, Cousins and 16 other black students were among the first in Virginia to attend all-white schools. They would become known as the Norfolk 17.
On Feb. 2, 1959, Cousins, then 15, walked into Maury High School, in Norfolk, Vir., with his mom at his side, as a hoard of teens gawked by the front door. Unlike the other members of the Norfolk 17, Cousins was the only one to attend Maury, facing an entire white student body on his own.
"All of us throughout the Norfolk 17 had the same responsibility," Cousins told the San Antonio Express-News in 2004. "We were there for a purpose ... We were there to open the doors not only for ourselves, but for our race."
Media at the time reported not hearing a "hostile word" from students, "only curious stares — and silence." Cousins remembered his first day as being marked with loneliness. He told the Express-News the only other black people he saw on campus were employees who cleaned floors. In that story, he also recalled the insults, being spat at and described an incident in which the windows at his home were broken and a cross was burned in the front yard.
He spent an entire year as Maury's only black student. Cousins said he was "trying not to let myself or my race down."
Eventually, he made a few friends who Cousins described as "brave enough" to speak to him or sit with him at lunch without fears of being ostracized. He graduated on Jan. 27, 1962.
Cousins joined the Air Force after graduation and served as a combat medic in Vietnam. He married his wife Deloris in 1963. The two started their family in San Antonio, where they raised their son, Louis Cousins Jr. It is unclear when Cousins moved to San Antonio.
FROM OUR SUBSCRIBER SITE: 58 years ago, San Antonio was the first southern city to integrate lunch counters
The Cousins family could not be immediately reached for comment. His son told The Virginian-Pilot he was aware of his father's place in history, but the elder Louis would call it "old history" and rarely delved into details.
"He endured a lot," Cousins' son told The Virginian-Pilot. "As he would say, he persevered."
The newspaper spoke to Patricia Turner, who was one of the Norfolk 17. She said Cousins' way of downplaying his time at Maury may have been a coping mechanism.
That is a time that you want to forget and put it into the past," Turner told The Virginian-Pilot.
Another woman, Lula Sears Rogers, was a friend of Cousins and also remembers their conversations.
"He'd say, 'Don't you ever tell anybody I integrated that school," she told the Virginia newspaper. "I desegregated that school," Rogers said Cousins told her. "There's a difference," Rogers said in the interview.
After retiring from the service, he worked as a medical technologist at Methodist Ambulatory Surgery Hospital in San Antonio. In the Express-News article, he acknowledged that de facto segregation remains today for socioeconomic reasons but realized the hardships endured by the Norfolk 17 and other students who were part of the desegregation battle across the country paved the way for future generations.
"No, it wasn't for nothing," he said at the time. "It definitely wasn't for nothing."
Maury High School is now one five in the Norfolk Public School system, which operates as "The cornerstone of a proudly diverse community." Niche, a nationwide school ranking website, graded the school an A for diversity. Fifty-one percent of the nearly 2,000 students are black.
"There are thousands of children who may never have gotten a foot inside of Maury without him," Rogers told The Virginian-Pilot.

Folks, I added this recent blog to the ABAP space merely to play around with the new SCN system (as suggested by Chip Rodgers).
Contentwise there is nothing new. Those of you who have already seen it, pls skip. To everyone else, I hope you enjoy reading the article.
Btw, I like the new SCN approach from what I have seen. Here is the original text of the blog:
In my most recent article in SAP Insider Keeping Pace with Innovation I try to give you an outline how emerging technologies such as cloud, mobile and in-memory influence the typical backlog in your custom development projects. But don't be mislead: There is a considerable amount of investment into "classical" on premise core technologies meaning you as a developer have the choice to extend your skills and combine the best of each world. I am happy to cross post the article to the SDN community (just click the link above) and I am rather intersted in your feedback.

The way that we did business years ago was far simpler than the way that businesses function today. In the modern world, every thriving business has gotten to where they are by being able to adapt and evolve with the changing consumer expectations and subsequent economical shifts. At the heart of all this evolution is technology. In short, technology has been at the forefront of practically every evolution that means anything today.
The changes began as small ripples, little shifts on the surface. As time moved on, however, the ripples grew into waves. Today, technology is at the core of every major innovation in any industry in recent times, and will continue to play a significant role. The entire concept of technology is that it can and is utilised to make life easier, more efficient, and more time-effective.
The single largest marker that has pivoted every movement in the modern world is embracing new technology. We have never been more invested in our own growth, but that evolution has come with the realisation that we must work harder than ever to keep up with that growth. Businesses have been forced to adapt as consumers have become more reliant and expectant on technological advancement and digitalisation.
The companies that are still operating today have survived because they have used new technologies that strengthen their presence and their reach. Such technologies include innovations like social media marketing, powerpoint templates, mobile-ready website design, and chatbot implementation. Going into 2019, there are three big technological innovations that are set to disrupt businesses the world over.
The in-depth solutions that technologies that head artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are going to find their way into businesses on a massive scale going into and during 2019. At the heart of it, AI and machine learning are designed to bring to fruition acute insights into business metrics and data-based decisions and actions. Businesses will be able to use these technologies to transform their business models and send them skyrocketing upward.
It is no secret that the economy today is a competitive one. Every business that wants to stay in the game must pay close attention to their competition and their prospective consumer base. Data analytics will be utilised on a larger scale in 2019 due to their vitality for competitive data collection. Businesses can and do use analytics to identify the weaknesses in their own operation as well as the strengths. Analytics will allow businesses to make the most of their business models and strengthen them tenfold.
Disruption in every industry is inevitable. There have been various evolutions thus far, and there is sure to be more on the way. There are some – like blockchain – that have taken a while to take strategic and positive effect in industries. Most known for its tight knit association with cryptocurrency, blockchain is an independent system that is secured using encryption. Businesses can use blockchain to make their business models and methods more secure, more detailed, and generally stronger by nature.

ASUS may perhaps be better known for their gaming peripherals, but their presence in the mobile phone community is certainly felt. In fact, the field was changed up in 2013 when the team introduced the world's first 5000mAh-packed phone with the ZenFone Max, which proceeded to include the ZenFone 3 and 4 Max.
Soon, another new party is set to enter the Singapore market. Marking a separation from the main ZenFone Max series, the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M1) squeezes both power and quality into the highly-affordable price tag of S$348, serving as the competitive alternative to a certain chinese counterpart.
On first glance, the mid-range smartphone hardly stands out in design. Its no-frills aesthetic comes in the form of a flat-toned, simplistic shade of either Deepsea Black or Meteor Silver, the latter of which is naturally more pleasant-looking and eye-catching. That's not necessarily a bad thing, however – those with a preference for subtlety will appreciate the modest and clean style of the device.
With dual-camera setups being an industry norm, it stands to reason that lower-end models would adopt the same feature as well, albeit with the natural compromise of reduced capabilities. In the case of the Max Pro, a 13MP + 5MP camera resides on the rear, while an 8MP one sits on the front, each with a softlight LED flash in tow.
Designed to create an artistic bokeh effect, the second camera supposedly works best for portraits and close-ups. Taking it out for a quick spin, though, shows the bokeh having an unnatural tone and the occasional inaccuracy in detecting the subject and foreground, but a longer period of testing is needed before a conclusive result can be determined. On this note, ASUS has also assured users that firmware updates will be rolled out regularly, which means the camera quality is set to improve over time.
A noteworthy addition to the phone is perhaps its 4K video shooting mode – an impressive feat considering the sub-S$350 price point.
Accompanying the camera system would be a fingerprint scanner on its metal back, the usual volume rocker, power button, and SIM card slot at the sides, alongside the micro-USB port and 3.5mm ear jack on the underside. Seems like ASUS has decided to stick with the formula of a traditional setup.
Flip to the front, and a six-inch FHD+ IPS screen awaits. The 2160-by-1080 resolution spans across an aspect ratio of 18:9, the current industry standard, and boasts a 1500:1 contrast ratio – a level above the standard 100:1 measurement for other similar models. A brief hands-on session managed to yield a bright, vibrant display, although some colours may appear oversaturated or unnaturally vivid, especially where warm hues are concerned. Still, this is something that's hardly found in the mid-range category, and is easily the standout feature of the phone.
Under the hood, the Max Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 636 chipset and Adreno 509 GPU – both falling under the Qualcomm brand – and will boast 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. Building upon the ZenFone Max battery capacity, ASUS' newest model is packed with the same 5,000mAh juice, alongside a fast-charge micro-USB option that can fill up a depleted battery bar to full charge in just two hours and 42 minutes, though USB-C charging would have been more welcome. A downside to this, while not major, is its slightly heftier build of 180g, as well as the thicker cut.
Other features of the smartphone include a five-magnet speaker driven by an NXP smart amplifier that leads to 41% louder sound, 14% better low-frequency response, and 12% less distortion, as well as its first-ever triple-slot tray, where users can insert an additional microSD to the original dual-SIM setup for expanding storage by up to 2TB, making it handy for frequent travellers.
Armed with a whole array of features, the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro is an option worth considering for individuals seeking both power and affordability. Currently tagged with a S$348 price point (inclusive of GST), interested parties may wish to keep an eye out for its special five-day launch sale from July 25 to 29, 2018, in which a generous discount will be offered at all ASUS authorised resellers. Exactly how much, though? ASUS has yet to announce the exact price, but we place it to be around S$300, which would be quite the steal.
If battery life is the top of your wishlist when it comes to mobile phones, the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro is definitely a stronger contender to get you through the day.

Amer Akhtar, the executive overseeing Yahoo's small business division is no longer with the company.
Akhtar's departure comes as Yahoo is exploring a sale of its core business, which may include its small business division. The $50 million division, called Aabaco Small Business, has undergone a lot of change in the past year. It was initially supposed to be spun off with Yahoo's Alibaba shares, but Yahoo later suspended that plan after investors were worried the spin-off would be taxed.
In a statement, Yahoo characterized Akhtar's departure as his decision to leave. Akhtar joined Yahoo in November 2014.
"Amer has made a lasting and positive impact here at Yahoo since joining the company, and we thank him for his passion and commitment to delivering outstanding products and services to help our almost one million small business subscribers grow their businesses," Yahoo said in a statement.
Akhtar confirmed to the Chronicle that he had left Yahoo but did not say why or what his future plans might be. Prior to Akhtar, Amit Kumar served in the role from July 2013 to November 2014, before leaving Yahoo to launch a new start-up, Trimian.
A Yahoo spokeswoman said the company will soon announce a new person to lead the small business unit.
Some small businesses told the Chronicle earlier this year that they are considering leaving Yahoo's services because of the uncertainty surrounding the company's future.

Parents who are co-parenting often comment that their children don't want to go and stay with one of the parents. If you are co-parenting, you probably agree that it can be very challenging. Whether you generally get along with your child's other parent or not, there are always issues that arise and must be smoothed out. When your child chooses the other parent, doesn't want to see the other parent, or you are feeling defeated and discouraged, check out these crucial tips..
Here are 6 tips to make co-parenting work for everyone!
1. Don't Blame Your Child.
Growing up is filled with challenges and even when a child is in a family with both natural parents, every family has disagreements. It is really helpful to put yourself in your child's shoes and don't blame your child for acting like one. You may not fully understand the struggles your child is facing, after all you can never really know what they are thinking, so try to be mindful not to jump to conclusions or judge them too harshly if they are unsettled about the situation..
2. Don't Blame Yourself.
On the flip side, don't blame yourself. If your child doesn't want to see you for a time, it hurts, and you may be tempted to feel like the worst parent. You may begin to believe any accusations you have heard thrown at you. Keep your own perspective and choose to believe the truths you know about yourself. You know you love your child and that you are doing your best.
3. Take Responsibility.
Although you should avoid blaming yourself, there is often a truth we can learn through every tough situation like this. Do you feel that you may have been too harsh with your child? Have you been running down your child's other parent in front of your child, and made a good cop, bad cop situation, or have you distanced yourself and avoid the stress it is causing you? Take care not to be overrun with guilt, but learn whatever you can to grow, and perhaps mend the broken relationship you have with your child.
4. Co-Parent Respectfully.
Although you may feel betrayed and probably want to blame your ex, you must continue to co-parent respectfully and in the most civil way you possibly can. Remember that your ex is still a parent to your child and try to see their side of the situation. Even if you cannot find any common ground, choose to be polite and courteous at the very least and be the one who set's the good example.
5. Love Unconditionally.
Whether your child has chosen to live with their other parent, or simply sides with the other parent on every possible issue, continue to love your child unconditionally. Forgive every betrayal and keep your door open to your child. Let them know that you will always be there for them, no matter what decisions they make or hurtful things they say to you. In this way, you are being a positive role model, as well as leaving the door open for a future relationship with your child. Make a continuous effort to connect with your child and show them unconditional love. Co-parenting is not easy, and it becomes especially complicated when your child has chosen one parent over the other. Although you might feel like you are being swallowed up in the pain of it all, don't lose your footing. Keep focused on these tips and handle yourself with grace and dignity. Let your child know you will be there for them when he or she chooses to return to you.
6. Be encouraging.
Your children need to know that you are ok if they go and stay with their other parent. Remember they may have been witness to a lot of stress, anger and upset before you separated. Children can feel torn and that they have to be loyal to one parent in the situation, so encourage them to do what it best for them to have a healthy loving relationship with both their parents.
What do you think will help you as a co-parent?
- Do you blame your children in any way for making things difficult with your co-parenting? If so how?
- Do you blame yourself or feel guilty about the situation you are in? If so, what can you say to yourself so that you feel better?
- Do you take full responsibility for the part you are playing?
- In what way might you be disrespectful to yourself or your ex and how can you change this?
- Do you love your children unconditionally and not withdraw affection when things are hard? If so how?
- Think of 3 positive ways you will encourage your children to have a great relationship with their other parent?
Do you do any of the following?
- Make yourself the victim?
- Distance yourself from your child to avoid the pain?
- Manipulate the situation so your child doesn't want to go to their other parent?
- Keep your child away from their other parent?
- Do you make things difficult by not communicating well with your ex?
- Do you act contemptuously to your ex, by putting them down and arguing with them?
If you do any of these and the many more negative things that are not helping the situation, STOP and find better ways to handle this long-term situation to make it work for everyone! You will be glad you did.

God Eater 3 Announced for PS4/PC, God Eater Resonant Ops Opening Movie Streamed
posted on by Karen Ressler
Bandai Namco Entertainment announced at the eighth anniversary event for the God Eater franchise on Saturday that it will release God Eater 3 for PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam in Japan. The company also unveiled the new character Yūgo Pennywort (pictured below, voiced by Tomokazu Seki), a boy who grew up with the game's protagonist.
Bandai Namco Entertainment also began streaming ufotable's animated opening movie for the God Eater Resonant Ops smartphone game.
Bandai Namco Entertainment describes God Eater 3:
Earth no longer resembles the home we know of now. The Aragami, terrifying beasts that live only to consume, are carving a path of destruction and misery wherever they are encountered. To combat this threat an elite group of heroes known as God Eaters are called upon to save humanity. God Eaters are individuals who have been bestowed upon them the ability to wield powerful new God Arcs, special weapons powered by Oracle Cells and the only known weapons capable of destroying the monstrous Aragami. However, another mission is coming into focus; something is happening to the God Eaters and the line between light and dark has never been so thin. It's time to start breaking free from the cursed shackles that bind the souls of the God Eaters as the battle rages on around them.
Bandai Namco Entertainment America has confirmed that it will release the game in the Americas.
God Eater Resonant Ops is slated to launch in Japan this spring. The story moves the setting "at long last" toward the Fenrir Headquarters, four years after God Eater 2 Rage Burst in the year 2078.
The smartphone game is inspiring a "short anime project" titled "God Eater Resonantoka Gekijō." (God Eater Reso-Something-or-Other Theater). Paraco Sasahara is directing the anime and is also handling the series composition. Passione and Creators in Pack are animating the series, and DMM.futureworks is credited with animation cooperation. Katsuzo Hirata is the animation character designer, and Taichi Hatanaka is the animation producer.
The God Eater game franchise inspired a 13-episode television anime series in 2015. Aniplex of America released the anime with an English dub on Blu-ray Disc in two sets in November 2016 and January 2017.

Year 4
Welcome to Year 4!
My name is Mrs Hutton and I joined the school in September 2017. I am thoroughly enjoying teaching Year 4 and have a real passion for enabling children to grow both academically and personally. I chose to teach in primary education as I enjoy all the subjects and love using creative approaches in my teaching. Whenever the opportunity arises I am very keen on making use of outdoor resources and the notion of 'learning outside the classroom'. When not at school I enjoy gardening, swimming and baking for my family.

I rejoice exceedingly that I know and have known nearly all my life such a noble woman. I do not remember the first time that I saw Aunt Rachel, I can't recall it; it seems to me I always knew her, just as I knew my mother in my childhood and all the way through life; and I rejoice exceedingly in this testimony of the Spirit of the Lord that has come to us through revelation in the latter days. Through this testimony I am confident that I shall see Aunt Rachel, by and by; and when I go—and I expect to go, perhaps, long before she shall recover this tabernacle—I expect to meet her there. I expect to meet the same individual that I knew here. I expect to be able to recognize her, just as I could recognize her tomorrow, if she were living. I believe I will know just exactly who she is and what she is, and I will remember all I knew about her; and enjoy her association in the spirit as I did in the flesh; because her identity is fixed and indestructible, just as fixed and indestructible as the identity of God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son. They cannot be any other than themselves. They cannot be changed; they are from everlasting to everlasting, eternally the same; so it will be with us. We will progress and develop and grow in wisdom and understanding, but our identity can never change. We did not spring from spawn. Our spirits existed from the beginning, have existed always, and will continue forever. We did not pass through the ordeals of embodiment in the lesser animals in order to reach the perfection to which we have attained in manhood and womanhood, in the image and likeness of God. God was and is our Father, and his children were begotten in the flesh of his own image and likeness, male and female. There may have been times when they did not possess the same intelligence that they possessed at other times. There are periods in the history of the world when men have dwindled into ignorance and barbarism, and then there were other times when they have grown in intelligence, developed in understanding, enlarged in spirit and comprehension, approaching nearer to the condition and likeness of their Father and God, and then losing faith, losing the love of God, losing the light of the Spirit and returning again to semi-barbarism. Then again, they have been restored, by the power and operation of the Spirit of the Lord upon their minds, until they again reached a degree of intelligence. We have reached a degree of intelligence in our dispensation. Will this same degree of intelligence, that now exists throughout the world, continue to exist? Yes; if the world continue to abide in the light that has been shed abroad in the world by the Father of light, with whom there is no variableness nor shadow of turning. But let them deny God, let them deny truth, let them depart from righteousness, let them begin again to wallow in wickedness and transgression of the laws of God, and what will be the result? They will degenerate; they will again recede possibly into absolute barbarism, unless they repent, and the power of God will be again restored to them and they be again lifted up by that light which shines and is never dim, except to men who shut their hearts and eyes and ears against it and will not receive it.
