By Sarah Toti
The Wolfington Family from Newport, Rhode Island, Philadelphia, Avalon, New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and New York all banded together to support the East Coast Leadership, Tennis and Education Tour, done annually by VegasTennis.com's Marty Hennessy Junior Tennis Foundation.
|"My mother and brother Sean created this trip to inspire children in our Foundation to see all the possibilities for their lives, and thanks to my brother Harry and family it has become something beyond anything I could have ever imagined," explained the Foundation's Founder and Volunteer Executive Director Ryan Wolfington." What Tony Bennett, Mike Agassi, Marty Hennessy and I created to help children get college scholarships has been taken to a whole new level by my family. Now we are setting out to inspire the leaders of tomorrow, by showing them they can do anything, and introducing them to people who already have."
|Thanks to the Wolfington family's generosity the youth were given the chance to visit East coast historical sites, Universities, play tennis at different Country Clubs and attend a leadership breakfast daily. Among the leaders they got the chance to listen to and meet privately were President George Bush Sr., Senator John Ensign, Rick Santorum, Senator Ted Kennedy, Senator Lamar Alexander and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
The trip began in Newport, Rhode Island at the Renaissance Hotel thanks to Brian O'Neill and his Carnegie Abbey development and Country Club and sponsorship from Thomas Riel at Renaissance. Sponsoring the youth for the first 4 days O'Neill arranged for the players to dine overlooking the Narraganset Bay while listening to Scottish Bag pipers.
|Then off to a day at the Campbell's International Tennis Hall of Fame tournament, and Pete Sampras emotional and meaningful Induction. After watching the tennis in front row seats they had the unique opportunity to meet Pete Sampras and his wife Bridgette, coach Paul Annecone, Tom Gullikson and all the Hall of Fame inductees that day. A special "collegiate luncheon" on the porch overlooking the tennis was arranged for the children in the Foundation now in college on scholarship.
|Soon after, the children were taken to the Newport Polo matches and treated to dinner in Carnegie Abbey's VIP tent.
|O'Neill also arranged for the youth to experience horseback riding with lessons in their equestrian center and an inspirational talk and hitting session with former ATP pro Todd Martin.
The Philadelphia Wolfingtons, including Sean and Anna Wolfington, Harry and Tonya Wolfington, Carol and Harry Wolfington, Stephany and John Zigler, Sharon Wolfington-Brown, and Lisa and Joe Corcoran, made it possible for the youth to experience 5 days of education in historical Philadelphia, including Valley Forge Park, Independence Hall, and the Constitution Center, plus play tennis on some of the oldest and most prestigious tennis courts in America at Philadelphia Country and the grass courts at Philadelphia Cricket Club.
|It was here the children had the chance to meet and talk with former President George Bush Sr. who for 20 plus minutes spoke on what he considered to be the secret to life and who they most looked up to.
|The children also toured University of Pennsylvania, Villanova University, St. Joseph's University and Cabrini College. Thanks to Mike Rodden and Marriott the children stayed at the 4 star Philadelphia Marriott hotel and each morning were treated to a guest speaker, which included the Founder of the Ronald McDonald House Jim Murray and numerous business leaders.
|Wolfington family members included Eustace Mita, co-Founder of Penske Automotive, Matt Gillin who patented pre paid credit card technology, Film Producer Sean Wolfington, Eustace Wolfington who invented the car lease, Former MBNA senior executive Frank Mita, Entrepreneur Mark Wolfington, and Chairman of Carey International and former World Travel and Tourism Council Chair Vince Wolfington.
|While in Philadelphia Rose Weinstein made it possible for the children to ball kid for and meet John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, and Billy Jean King who once again showed a special interest in the children and spoke to them at length, as did the WTT Doctor McShane.
Thanks to memory and tradition set forth by Mary Margaret Wolfington years ago to always have her family converge in Avalon New Jersey, Marci and Eustace Wolfington sponsored the children to come and spend 3 days at their beach front home. For some of the children this was the first time swimming in the ocean and getting a chance to enjoy riding waves on the beach.
Thanks to the Alicia and Vince Wolfington Family the children saw D.C. in style. Staying at the Ritz Carlton in Georgetown they were treated to an opening morning breakfast with a talk from the properties General manager who told of his going from bus boy to GM. Then Vince Wolfington shared his 4 secrets to Life, which helped him build Cary Limousine and aviation from a few locations to over 65 countries and 550 cities spanning the globe. Mr. Wolfington was also Chairman of the World Travel and Tourism Council and used his relationships in D.C. to give these children the best D.C. Tour possible.
Driven around D.C. in a luxury Cary van with a tour guide, the youth went to the spy museum, played tennis and got a tour at Georgetown University, met former Presidential candidate Senator Lamar Alexander from Tennessee, Senate Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, and got a private tour of the capitol.
They were also treated to a private screening of the film "Swing State Ohio" by Producer and Film Maker Jed Wolfington, who also helped organize the D.C. portion of the trip.
|Thanks to Sean Wolfington and Mark Rogers, a long time Chief of Staff on the Hill for former Senator Rick Santorum, the children played tennis in the private Senate tennis court with Santorum and Nevada Senator John Ensign and then had breakfast with the Senators in the private Senate dining room. They were also given a private tour of the Senate floor by the Senators and were shown up close historical senate seats. The next day the First lady Laura Bush made possible a private tour of the white House by her chief of Staff, and a talk about her initiatives in her White House office.
|Vince Wolfington ended the Washington leg of the tour by making it possible for the children to meet with his long time friends, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and a half an hour sit down inspirational talk by Senator Ted Kennedy, who shared stories about civil rights legislation and times with his brothers that he cherishes most among his 40 + years as a politician.
The East Coast Leadership tour was capped off with a trip to New York City thanks to Cosmopolitan Casino and Resort owner and developer Bruce Eichner, who also owns the Manhattan Club in Manhattan and sponsored the children to stay there and see numerous Broadway shows including Les Miserables, Rent, Color Purple and Spamalot.
|During the trip the Foundation children were treated to the New York Latin Film Festival premier of "BELLA", the film that won this years Toronto Film Festival, produced by Sean Wolfington. The children got to meet the actors and were given words of wisdom from the two lead actors Eduardo Verestigue and Manny Perez.
|While in New York the youth visited the Guggenheim Museum, Statue of Liberty, saw the financial district, canal street, time square, Central Park and had high tea at the Pierre Hotel, a rare and unusual treat. It was a perfect way to end and extraordinary trip, that according to many of the children inspired them a great deal to make the most of their lives, after having met so many people who have done the same.

Many doctors recommend both heat and cold treatments to relieve gout pain, according to WebMD. Heat alters the pain sensation, decreases muscle spasms, expands blood vessels and quickens blood circulation. Cold compresses constrict blood vessels, which decreases swelling and numbs deep pain.
Gout is a form of arthritis that typically affects one joint at a time, explains WebMD. Patients with gout can obtain relief from using moist heat, such as damp, heated towels or warm showers, or dry heat, including heat lamps and heating pads. For cold therapy, patients can use ice to make cold packs. Frozen bags of vegetables also work as instant cold packs. Some patients enjoy more relief when they alternate using moist heat and cold.

Exercises for adjusting the energy
More tips for eating at problems with metabolism by German naturopath:
There should be no snacks between meals.
It is very important change of diet – breakfast is the most abundant and calorie meals during the day and dinner to be taken at least food quantity and calories.
It should stop using any confectionery.
Intake of oily, heavy meal at night suppresses the liver and colon hinders the activity of the stomach and intestine and disrupts the production of melatonin. All this interferes with normal sleep and consequently impede the regeneration of the body during the night.

These exercises regulate Chinese medicine meridians responsible for energy balance and health of the body. It should be made daily, may be in a different time. Each exercise begins with the exhalation is performed 5-10 times without tension.
Meridian of triple heater. In Chinese medicine, so it called meridian responsible for the status of three areas: the lung and heart, abdomen and pelvis.

The last Narn telepaths lived 1,000 years ago. Human telepaths only came about in the last 200 or so and that was due to the manipulations of the Vorlons.
Kinda makes one wonder why the Vorlons didn't manipulate the Narns to give them telepathy 200 years ago when they gave Humans telepathy. Of course, 200 years ago, the Narn homeworld was invaded, which may have hindered any plans the Vorlons might have had.

If you don't have the internet these days you are lost. You are cut off from the vast majority of opportunities. It is vital that everyone have internet access. If the market isn't doing it then yes the FCC should require that they grant internet access.
One of the comments in No says "Until the internet is assumed to be a human essential need". It IS. If you want to make something of yourself you need to learn and to be on the same playing field you need the internet to do that learning. If you want to find certain opportunities again you need the internet.
The FCC should not interfere with free enterprise by forcing private companies to offer public access and, instead, should look torwards partnerships, and possible tax incentives, to provide both access and user support and education to the Native American community. After all, providing internet access is only one facet of the solution to an under-served population. Native Americans would also need value-added support in order to fully take advantage of online tools, which could provide a new social community for Native American tribes, help educate non-Native Americans about their culture and provide new business opportunities. A full turn-key solution that doesn't interfere with free enterprise should be sought out for both the benefit of the private companies and the Native American community.
No. It is truly indefensible to force cable companies to grant their services without recompense from the State for building the actual mainframe itself as it is in the State's interest (for they represent the citizens) and not the corporation's interest to act. Enforcement would be infringing upon the law.
No, the FCC should not force cable companies to provide access under-served to Native Americans. Internet access is not a vital or essential commodity so therefore it is not of great importance that certain areas or groups are not served by cable providers. Internet access is readily available in other areas so if they really require access they can find it elsewhere.
Native Americans choose to live their lives a certain way. Now that the younger generation is realizing internet is a necessity, it is not our problem. The FCC should NOT force private companies to provide access. That is like asking casinos to give non Native American's free chips to gamble with.
Allow companies to decide which areas and which services are the most profitable in certain geographical areas. If a privately owned company chooses to expand to Native American areas, then this should be a business decision and not a government mandate. Historically, business in the United States has always worked better when the government allowed private business to thrive based on it's own decisions.

Spotlight Middle East: A tiger in your tank
VIDEO: An Esso spot from the 1960s...
Exxon, or Esso as it was known in those days (and still is in some parts of the world) used to have an advertisement on television touting the wonders of their gasoline products claiming that if you filled your tank with Exxon you were putting a tiger in your tank.
The imagery was great but I don't think anyone would have ever really considered putting a tiger in the gas tank of your car or anywhere else in your car for that matter.
I don't want to wax nostalgic but I wonder if those times where a bit saner when it comes to putting a tiger in your car at least. Last month for instance, when a driver in Dubai was seen with a tiger hanging out of the side of his car whilst driving through a popular tourist area filled with restaurants and cafes.
There was some speculation that the tiger was just a fuzzy stuffed animal but the evidence of growing numbers of people with exotic pets, including tigers, lions, and cheetahs would suggest otherwise.
The previous week there had been reports of cheetahs running loose in the city of Abu Dhabi.
The Emirate of Ajman recently outlawed the ownership of exotic pets such as tigers and other big cats. The International Fund for Animal Welfare office in Dubai has been running a public awareness campaign called Think Twice calling on residents of the United Arab Emirates to reject the notion of owning these magnificent but dangerous wild animals.
We have also recently published a children's book in Arabic explaining why you should not keep exotic pets in your house even though they are so cute when they are little.
The exotic pet trade contributes to the poaching of wild animals, many of whom die en route to their new owners' home. I would hope that responsible animal lovers out there would set an example and not encourage exotic pet ownership.
The kids are getting that message, perhaps we will have to rely on them to teach their parents well.

African-American director John Singleton is breaking the mold. The Oscar-nominated director is known for his politically and socially important films like Boyz N the Hood and Baby Boy, but deep down he's been yearning to make a popcorn action flick.
Variety reports that Singleton has officially come aboard Columbia Picture's Sinbad. And no, this has nothing to do with the comedian of the same name... thankfully. It's a special effects epic about the good-hearted pirate Sinbad.
As the trade reports, the film "will mix the spectacle of period actioners like The Mummy and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
The film's subject matter certainly has potential for great success. 1958's The 7th Voyage of Sinbad is a timeless classic.
The script is being penned by Tedi Sarafian (Terminator 3, Tank Girl). He tells Variety, "We look at Sinbad as an eighth century Raiders of the Lost Ark on steroids, and John is charged up to do a big visual effects movie." Sarafian sets a lofty goal for Singleton saying, "After watching John's enthusiasm for the film and his strong sense of the character of Sinbad, I feel that he's a lot like where the Wachowski brothers were when they were known for the movie Bound and made The Matrix."
Sinbad should set sail in theaters in 2003 or 2004.

Changing My TV Viewing
However, having all that was expensive. And I was the only one really watching it. My husband likes to watch YouTube videos of his favorite shows. So it just was not worth it anymore. So I went to Cox and cancelled not only my digital tier, but my regular cable as well, opting for just 20 or less channels. It broke my heart.
In the meantime, people on Facebook were telling me about Netflix and Hulu and how you could get TV shows and movies and watch them whenever and much cheaper. They told me about devices you can get for your TV so you can watch them on there. So TJ and I went to Best Buy and talked to a tech and we bought a Netgear device for the bedroom and learned that we can use our Xbox 360 as well (in our livingroom) with their gold membership which is $60 a year ($5 a month!!). That plus the $8 for Netflix and $8 for Hulu Plus came to $21 a month for TV!!! Much cheaper than cable!
I signed up for both tonight. When I looked at all the networks that HULU Plus carries I nearly cried. All these shows I love to watch right there for me to watch ANYTIME I want!! And regular Hulu has old TV shows I can watch when I want. Netflix has some TV shows and movies. All available to me when I want.
Tomorrow I am going to Cox and cancelling my cable altogether. I am still getting internet through them because it is pretty good and I have not had any problems.
Now there are a couple drawbacks...the new episodes of TV shows are not released until the day after they air on regular TV so I will always be a day behind. I have pretty much given up watching anything live as it happens unless the news networks have live streaming on their websites. So I do not have that sense of being connected as a comfort anymore. I am sure I will adjust in time, though.
How do you watch TV? Do you have cable? Dish? Hulu?

I like what you will be doing and it sounds so much more cheaper than cable!!! I'd go with something like that since I don't watch a lot of TV but I think without cable, hubby and son would not know what to do :)
I watch a few programs here and there on TV, but not much of a viewer except if I'm going to follow American Idol and decided not to follow it this year. It seems like I would get hooked on a show and then it would be taken off the air so now I don't try to get hooked on anything :)
hope you had a nice day!

we have basic cable about 9 channels that we pay $13.00 a month for. i never watch tv except with my hubby at night. we watch most everything on xfinity the next day (or the next week with some shows.) the commercials are so short so i spend less time. almost all the regular shows are on there except American Idol and The Mentalist. we also have Netflix where i watch movies and tv shows after they come out on DVD. i wouldn't have tv at all but my hubby likes it.

Christmas Party Nights
Join us for an evening of festive fun with one of our party nights every Friday and Saturday throughout December (except Sat 16th)
Includes 3 course dinner and disco
Exclusive use or shared parties available
Please contact Elaine in the office for more details or to book.
01454 319042 (opt 1)
Many of you will be aware that our course occupies an area of around 115 acres. Its ditches, ponds and lakes and trees give it a challenging complexity, which we both love and hate in equal measure. These devious intricacies will naturally act as traps to harbour a great mixture of flora and fauna. The least admired of these are usually the thorniest and tend to add additional annoyance when searching for the ball following a wayward shot.
It is both reassuring and gratifying that a group of senior volunteers under John Keenaghan's supervision have recently been clearing these pernicious weeds and helping to make our course so much more pleasant and accessible. It has long been a tradition to help our ground staff with such acts as this and many will know the satisfaction of making a contribution without thought of payment.
Well done. Many thanks to all of you who selflessly lend a hand, please be assured that it is well appreciated though you might feel overlooked, we're all sometimes slow in showing our gratitude.
Sometimes, in fact all too often, we get a little bit despondent with our game. We get frustrated, impatient, even depressed.
Is it time to address the positives again? What do we get from being a member of CSGC? We make friends, we enjoy a little social banter, we might have met our partner there, we catch up with other people's lives, their opinions, their happiness, and a little sadness.
For the most part we look forward to our pre-arranged game, perhaps we relish the regular competition, we like the clothes and the equipment and many of us, even in some small way, give our time to the club to make it a better place. How refreshing is it when visitors thank us for hosting their Society and remark upon how well the course looks and how challenging the greens are,
Above all sports golf provides a tremendous platform, through the handicap system, where players of widely different standards can enjoy a nip and tuck battle with one another. It allows us to play with our children and grandchildren in a disciplined environment where etiquette, manners and fair play are all taken as standard within the rules of the game. It does often reflect our personalities in a way we may not always admit.
Associated with these thoughts is a recent photograph of our oldest regularly playing captain, the octogenarian – John Snee with our President, Derek Febry. What a pleasure to know that they are still enjoying it with over 80 years of membership between them. That's what it's about – THIS GAME GOLF.
Do you know any ladies who might like to take up golf this summer?
Mike Watts is running a course of ladies beginners group lessons starting on 25th May - please see poster below.
For further details or to book a place, please speak to Mike or to Ladies Captain, Denise Eland.
Wonderful news to report the return to the course, after a bout of ill health, of our 1997 Captain and current President, Derek Febry. Pictured above we see him, competitive as ever, with his untrustworthy chariot ready for action.
As many of you will know Derek was, during his time as a major transport contractor in the area, instrumental in the construction of our course and his support enabled the many contours and more testing elements to be fashioned to the Architects' wishes.
"Feb" wishes you all the best for the new season and we hope that he climbs from strength to strength.
Members are welcome to submit items for inclusion on the website news page.
A photograph can be incorporated in the news items.

In a city with tens of thousands of restaurants, the concept of fusion food is no longer revolutionary. Indeed, it seems like every restaurant from your local jjigae joint to bigger chains like Lotteria is adding the word "fusion" to its menu — and then failing miserably at making fusion food.
Then there's Simply India. The Daehangno brainchild of entrepreneur Hwan-gi Choi, Simply India has gone out on a major limb and succeeded. Choi's menu is the product of a true culinary mash up: the fusion of Indian and Mexican cuisines.
Prior to taking on the food-service industry, Choi worked in international trade. While traveling, he noticed that whereas Indian restaurants in Korea were often stuffy and overpriced, Indian places abroad were often fun and casual. He made it his goal to bring inexpensive, authentic Indian food to the peninsula. And what about the Mexican side of the restaurant, you ask? Well, ever the businessman, Choi noticed that Mexican food was catching on in a big way in Korea and decided it'd be the perfect compliment to the Indian dishes he wanted to serve.
Located in a bustling backstreet in the Daehangno area, Simply India is easy to find with its yellow and black sign, which prominently displays one enticing word: curry. The interior of the place is a good balance of casual and formal. You'd feel as comfortable here on a first date as you would grabbing a quick bite with your friends before exploring the area's many nightspots and theaters.
The menu features all of your traditional curry favorites along with various types of rice and naan bread. What's more, there is also the option to try something a little different: one of the Mexican fusion dishes. Chicken Tikka Fajitas are one stomach-filling option; all of the usual fajita staples such as salad, cheese and various sauces are present, along with chicken tikka. It isn't wrapped with tortilla, though, but soft naan bread.
"As you know, Koreans love eating meat with vegetables," Choi says. "Therefore, we make our fajitas so that people can be familiar with them, and love it."
To get a sampling of what the restaurant has to offer, try one of their sets (28,000 won to 32,000 won). There were two of us, and it was more than enough.
So what does the future hold for Simply India and the budding restaurateur? He is succinct when expressing his goal: "I want to become the most popular and trendy Indian restaurant brand in Korea."
With the Hyehwa location as a starting point, he might be well on his way.
Simply India (Hyehwa Station, line 4, exit 2)
Make a U-turn out of Hyehwa Station, exit 2. Take the first street on your right (Daehakno 10-gil). Walk right down to the end and turn left. Simply India is on the left.

Sarah Series- Introduction
1 Peter 3:1-6 [NKJV]
Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.
Note the first word in the Bible quote above.
Who are Peter and God addressing?
That's right! They are addressing wives. They are not addressing preachers, husbands, or males. They are not addressing the "teachers", scholars, or "authoritative figures as intermediaries to interpret the writing for the "wives". They are directly addressing WIVES!
God trusts us with His Word!
He will teach us through the Holy Spirit!
Here are some of my discoveries as I pressed in to the Lord and sought the truth about what HE and Peter were saying. I would encourage anyone who reads anything I write to be sure to DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK!
Don't trust ME, Trust GOD!
In order to better understand and obey God's instructions to me, I spent quite a bit of time reading, studying, researching, meditating upon, and praying about just how Sarah was.
Here are the pages of the "Sarah Series". I wrote pages 1-5.
David Leigh wrote the insightful articles published in 6-7.
- Sarah Series #1: "even as Sara obeyed Abraham calling him lord"
- Sarah Series #2: Sarai means "contentious"
- Sarah Series #3: YOU are her DAUGHTERS!
- Sarah Series #4: "you are Sarah's daughters IF you…"
- Sarah Series #5: the authority of daughters of Sarah
- Sarah Series #6: The Egalitarian Marriage of a True Patriarch by David R. Leigh
- Sarah Series #7: On the use of submission in 1 Peter by David R. Leigh
Another insight on a lovely thread weaving through scripture struck me very deeply while reading 1 Peter 1: "keeper"

The ivy status doesn't matter and Pitt's not a shithole. But I don't see how this a close call unless you MUST be in Pittsburgh. Your posts indicate to me that Cornell (or any T14 with money) is the right choice here. Did you get in anywhere else? Also, don't forget to factor in interest, which would bring the total COA to about 180k I believe.

Phases Of The Moon Work

I apologize in the delay in responding to your post...took a bit of a blog break.
I find January and February are wonderful months to study the moon here in NY. The children can see the moon in the morning when they wake and in the early evening before bed.
I present the phases of the moon work on a few different levels.
In the first presentation I use a control chart and basically present it as a matching/sequencing activity. Once the child has mastered this I ask them to sequence the cards without the control chart. I then introduce the names of the phases using the three period lesson--"this phase is called a new moon", "Can you point to the phase of the waning half moon?", "What is the name of this phase?"
In our science area we have a selection of non fiction books about the moon. In our reading area we have a selection of fiction stories about the moon. Just about every culture has a story about the moon. We tried to find a story about the moon from each continent. We then wrote our own stories about the moon.
A parent gave us a wonderful calendar for our classroom. It is a seasonal calendar that clearly marks the phases of the moon. I'll try and post a picture of it but you can check out their website at www.ecocalendar.info

To find cheap gas in a particular area, visit the GasBuddy home page at GasBuddy.com and enter a zip code in the "Search Gas Prices" text box. GasBuddy then displays gas price information for stations in the specified zip code, according to its official website.
The information GasBuddy displays includes the price per gallon; station name and location; general area of the station and name of the GasBuddy member reporting the price. The website typically lists prices entered in the last 60 hours for regular, midgrade, premium grade and diesel fuel. GasBuddy also displays statistics indicating whether gas prices in the specified zip code are rising, falling or remaining stable. In addition, visitors can access charts and maps showing gas price information throughout the nation and the state of the specified zip code, states the GasBuddy website.
The central idea of the website is "consumers working together to save on gas." With this principle in mind, the GasBuddy website encourages visitors to become members by completing an online registration process. Members can perform tasks such as submitting and updating gas prices, participating in opinion polls and posting messages in the GasBuddy forum. For each task a member completes, he receives points he can use to enter raffles for prepaid gas cards.

redland clay tile
Redland Clay Tile has all the ingredients necessary for manufacturing their all-natural clay tile roofing products. What was lacking, however, was the working (design) capital for an effective brand.The initial design meeting identified their needs and the beginning stages of exploration began with an audit of Redland's current branding. Sketches included indications of clay mined from terra firma: texture, earthen color, roughness. It was quickly determined that the previous modernity utilized was out of character.
Concrete Marketing Solutions for Clay Tile
When customers contacted Redland for sample tiles, all requests were sent samples in every color and every texture. This proved to be both expensive to fulfill and confusing for the customer since there were so many choices. Too many, in fact, for an effective review and selection.StudioConover's solution was to design and program a sample ordering component that allowed for an online selection of individual roof tile samples. Once implemented with Redland's Internal Sample Fulfillment Department, costs associated with sample delivery decreased by more than 30%. Upon completion of their new website, product brochures and specification binder, Redland reported a dramatic analytic increase in website usage, binder requests and understanding of the clarified product line categorization.

After the latest high-profile Wall Street departure — Morgan Stanley CFO Ruth Porat announced she was leaving to take a job at Google — ex-Wall Streeter Turney Duff checks in with former Wall Street friends to see what they're up to now, if they have any regrets about leaving and the million-dollar question: Is Wall Street dead?
Erin Duffy spent 12 years on the Street working as an interest-rate salesperson. She was able to segue into writing women's fiction after leaving the buy-and-sell tickets behind. Harper Collins published her first book, "Bond Girl," in 2012. Her third book, "Lost Along the Way," is due out in 2016.

A social security card does not use biometric identifiers hence it is very difficult for it to be known whether a person is using his or her number or someone else number. You can't know whether someone is using his or her number without relying on other documentation. You should not freely give your social security number to anyone. When a dishonest person gets your social security number he or she can use it in many ways. Before giving out your number you should ask yourself; Why is the number needed? What will it be used in? and also What will happen if you refuse to give out?
Below are some of the ways your social security number can be used when it lands in the hands of a dishonest person;
1. A social security number can be used to get more of your personal information. Go to https://lostsscard.com for help.
2. Identity thieves can also use your number to apply for credits in your name. The worst of it is that you cannot know immediately until you start getting calls from unknown creditors who will be demanding payment of goods you never bought. Whenever you realize that someone is using your number to create credits you should visit identifytheftgov and report to them to get a recovery plan.
3. One can use your number to fill a tax return and receive your refund.
How someone can get access to your social security card or number.
1.An identity thief can get your number by stealing your information provided on the unsecured online sites. Some sites may tend to be offering some gifts and they will ask for your number for you to receive a gift. Hackers can also use public wifi to get your personal details as you upload them to the internet. You should avoid using public wifi when logging into websites that are confidential. Another mechanism is phishing where a hacker creates a false website resembling another website. In this case, you should always make sure that you are on the real website before submitting your information.
2. One can steal your wallet or purse. To avoid this you should avoid keeping your social security card in your wallet or purse. You should also not routinely carry your social security card or other documents that show your number.
3. One can also buy your personal information from inside sources. A store employee can be paid to give information that appears when you apply for goods, services or credits.
When your card has been stolen, misplaced and you think someone might be using your number without your knowledge you should think of applying for a new number. Remember you can't be assigned a new number when there is no evidence that someone is using your number, Having this new number might not solve all your problems since your personal information will still be the same as in the old number. The best way is to avoid giving your number to organizations you aren't sure that they will keep your information safe and private. Getting a new number is also not a simple task as it involves a lot of procedures. You have to wait for some days to have your new number processed.

On cleaning up, cleaning out and a new era in my life
When my Mom visited Vancouver recently, she noticed that my apartment (I live in a shared household but my own private apartment, as you may have read if you've followed my blog for long enough) could have used some home improvement. She insisted that we throw all the garbage in common areas of the house, organize my kitchen cabinets, wash and mop floors, wash the bathroom, etc. Basically, we did a whole cleaning out of my apartment. I have read somewhere that "cluttered space, cluttered mind". Don't get me wrong: I'm extremely organized. EXTREMELY.
I would not be able to juggle my academic, consulting, social and personal lives if I were not organized. But there is always room for improvement, and my Mom showcased that to me. So we threw a lot of garbage out, I acquired a new couch, and lots of kitchen organizing stuff. And I hired 2 interns for Hummingbird604.com. Having a Content Manager and a Project Manager allows me to free my brain to do what I need to focus on: my consulting and academic lives..
This is a new era in my life.
Doing all these changes to my life at the beginning of August 2011, ensuring that I have a clean(er) start as we move into the 2011-2012 academic year makes me think that this will, by all standards, one of the best if not THE best professional year I'll have. As Gus put it very nicely the other day, I have, indeed, worked extremely hard to get where I am. And I can now more clearly see the fruits of my work.
I've needed to trust now my interns to do stuff and I've begun to learn that when you choose the right people and the right fit, you can achieve great things. I have a lot of faith in both of my interns, in that I determined that I had found the right people to work with me. I've built a great team and now I look forward to doing the same in my academic and consulting lives too.

Nicky jewl colins had the worst luck ever. She had the same name as a fugutive. Her social security number was one number off.
Nicky was a house wife and mom of two daughters. Her husbend was a pastor. She was a graduate of a ayeict fundimental baptist colege. She was attractive and smart.she was kind and had a good reputation.
She was arested at a bible study. She ended up in prison in Indiana. She had never been to indiana. Her doupleganger was sentenced to life in prison.
She was in a smal cell and was in an orange jump suit.she never wore pants but this prison did not have a dress verson so she had to wear pants.
It was clear to her and her husbend that she was inocent. She was in colege near springfeld Massachusetts around the time when the murders she supposedly commited took place.
The diatrict attorney refused to even take any of there phone calls. The prison oficials would not doanything until they had direction from the courts.
Sense she had esaped she was put in segregation. She was not given manny privledges. She was put inder a lot of sctrutiny. He did get to visit her.it was though glass and a phone. No physical contact.
Worse she was put on suiside watch. She was consolable. She was not alowef underware. She had little privacy. To make it even worse she was pregnent and did not know it until she was incarserated. She had to endue morning sickness and early days behind bars.
They did not have the finances to hire a top notch ligal team. They did not even know where to start. He did pastor a smsl church in new Hampshire.
Luckily a friend of a friend was a lawer and a former federal prosecutor. He took the case pro Bono. He filed a habius corpus motion.
The lawer was able to present evidence that Nicky was not the acused murderer,nicole jewel colins. She was able to prove that she did not have the oportinity to comit the crime. They presented evidence that she was not the orher colins.
The judge ordered her remeased. She thought she was going home. The d.a apealed the decison to a higher court.she ended up in jail for six mounths before finaly being released. Finaly after going though the mother of all red tape, she was released. The minute she was let go they got in car and headed home. Once they cleared indiana they stoped at a park.
They got out. She grabed a hold of her husband. He grabed a hold of her. She held as tightly to him as she could. "I got you hunnie. I am not letting go. "He said.
Of all the things she had missed during her confinement, she missed physical contact with her husband the most. They had both grown up in a strict fundimental Baptist background. They practice little physical contact before they were maried. After they got maried was a different story. She loved to be touched and held. They hardly ever did not engage in some kind of display of afection. She could not so much as hug him when she was imprisoned.
They held on to eachother for a long time. They did not care if any one saw them. She did not want him to leave her side.
Sence she was now seven mouth pregnent, he was not sure if she would be in the mood. He was quite horney. He refused to mesturbate so he did not get any relief during there court imposed exile. He was a bit frustrated.
To make it worse seing her in am orange jumpsuit and having her hands waist and barefeet shackled turned him on. He had no idea that he had women in prison fetish. It seemed he did. He wished that she had goten to keep the prison uniform but oh well.
When they got home she held her kids. That night he kissed her. He was not sure if he should but he picked her up and put her on the bed.
"Oh! I thought you were not going to screw me ever again. Come on frig me jim!" she said. Neither one of them ever swore or used fowel language except in the bed room. They tore off eachother clothes. It did not take long. She wore a purple dress.he wore a blue t shirt and black pants.
She beged him to frig her hard. He thrusted into her with all he had.she winpared ans screamed in glee as he came into her.
They held eachother after. She found she dreamed about being in jail. He was her gaurd. She was turned on by being in prison. She was afraid to tell him..when she did it led to another great sex season.
She gave birth to another healthy baby girl. The two did not believe in law suits so they did not bring any ligal action against the district atoney that included blomington or the police. They got back to there life. It did spice up there sex life. He made himsef a cop uniform and she made a prisoner dress. All waa good.
The end.
This was inspired by a coment in the movie "next three days " rusel crowe character wife lamented that she was going crazy not being able to havw physical contact with him. In orange is a new black one hug is permited before they leave. Sense nicky was segregated i figured that would not be peemited.
I an sure i got a thousand ligal things wrong. It is fantasy.
This is fiction. I picked Indiana out of thin air. I love the sate of Indiana. I did not intend to inpune the intrgrety of the sate or thr city of blomington.

By Farley Youman, USPTA, and Jeremy Carl, USPTA
April 2017 -- Today's job market is very competitive, and applications should go beyond just the hard paper copy. Resumes are crucial, but leave out many factors that influence hiring, such as your apparel, body language, projection of voice, and ability to build a quick rapport with clients. Thus, when emailing a resume to the tennis director or owner for a tennis-teaching position, include a link to your website, which should include a video of you teaching a lesson.
One of the benefits of your USPTA membership is a free website that you can personalize, including adding YouTube videos (detailed instructions are available when you log into your uspta-pro.com website). Embed videos of you teaching tennis to both adults and juniors to allow the hiring managers to see how you hit, instruct and communicate during the lesson. Many interviews are conducted with you performing a tennis lesson. Thus, this video will be a preview for the tennis director to see if they want to grant you an in-person interview. In fact, the day may come when tennis directors will mandate this procedure for your application.
Also, if you have published any articles in ADDvantage or other tennis magazines or newsletters, add links to them on your website. In addition, record a video of yourself talking about why you coach, how you help students, and explain your coaching philosophy. Include information about a couple of events that you developed for a club or events that you could direct that are not typical days of revenue (e.g., the day after Thanksgiving, the Saturday on Labor Day weekend, etc.). Upload this video to YouTube and embed it in your website. If you gave a presentation at a division or national conference that was recorded, include that video as well, especially if the topic would relate to the position for which you are applying. For example, if you are applying for a head professional or director of tennis position, a presentation on hiring practices or increasing on-court revenue would highlight your expertise.
Be sure your website is up to date and professional in appearance. A future employer may also check your ability to create a professional website, as this may be a job requirement to promote the club.
But let's not forget the resume. This is the first thing the employer will see, so the actual hard copy itself should be professionally produced, either by you or by a company. Before even one word is read, the appearance is immediately noticed by the employer. If two resumes were held up in front of you for one second and then taken away, one will stand out. An employer may receive as many as 100 resumes for one job, and spend only five to 10 seconds per resume. She will divide these resumes into two piles. The first stack will be around 10 resumes to look at again, and the other 90 will more than likely never be viewed again. Make sure that yours is in the short stack.
Near the top of the resume, highlight your strengths in line with what the club is looking for. Use either three to five bullet points or a brief paragraph in bold type. This section will be immediately after your name and contact information, and can be labeled as Professional Profile. Do not hide your top strengths! Remember, a tennis director is usually too busy to read your resume a second time; make sure that you attract their attention the first time!
Finally, carry your resume or business card to any convention or tournament that you attend. Your business card should include your professional website. If you meet someone that is in a hiring capacity, you should hand out your business card and direct them to your website that features a video of you teaching a lesson. Also, before attending a convention, send an email to yourself with your resume and link attached. You can ask the director for their email address at the convention, and use your phone to forward your information immediately. Follow up a few days after the convention with a call to the tennis director to see if they have had a chance to view your lesson on your website. Do not expect the tennis director to always make the first call; you need to be aggressive to get a job in this competitive job market.
Take advantage of the technology available to you today along with the tools provided by USPTA, but don't forget networking and the benefit of having a professional resume. Today's job market is tough; use all the tools available to you to make yourself stand out among the rest.

[For a free Google Earth file of the route we took, click on this link to open it in Google Earth: Ride 21 - Toquop Wash]
Enlarge the photo, by clicking on it, so you can see it a bit better. The "petrodroppings" I previously talked about are obvious, a term which graphically describes the "petrified lake bottom ooze" bonded to the underlying rock. This outcropping however is particularly unique, in that after it had been laid down, and after it had been pressurized into petrification, it was cracked and upturned across a fault such that it was actually polished!
Unlike the "petrodroppings" over in North Valley, these are a beautiful ochre-brown. Both factors would have definitely caught the eye of any passing Early-Americans and made it ideal for rock writing.
Breakthroughs in understanding these early writings was described by Native American author and cryptologist LaVan Martineau in his book The Rocks Begin to Speak.
He described that these types of writings cannot be clearly understood from a photograph alone, even though you may know the meanings of specific symbols. "They cannot be translated," he says, "anywhere but at the site itself since much of its meaning depends upon adjacent geography."
GeologyLocation: The rock is a prominent outcropping, jutting into a major desert wash which runs Eastward then South into the Virgin River — A major route through the mountains and down to the water.
The "petrodroppings" are unlike the normal "desert varnish" which aboriginals usually used for rock writing. They are deceptively VERY hard and tenaciously adherent to the underlying rock. Chipping on its surface would definitely be a long term undertaking.
Natural Features: The glyphs are facing directly down the wash, are directly below a cliff from which flows intermittent water during rainstorms, are adjacent to some hidden cisterns and are where the "trail" crosses the "wash."
Both glyphs are placed immediately adjacent, and in fact touching, a natural crack which most likely represents a travel line — A term known as "Rock Incorporation." The line actually runs north-south on the rock, mirroring the real trail along the mountain range toward the river and joins another crack running northeast into Utah (i.e. the Virgin River).
I'm not a teacher, but an awakener."
GlyphsTechnique: All of the lines seem broader than what we normally see (which usually has the meaning of "something there," "encumbered" or, occasionally, "bad"); however, that may just be an artifact of the difficulty of chipping.
Their positioning with one lower than the other suggests that it was "inferior" or "last" in what was being discussed — i.e. travel. Therefore the author may have been traveling right to left.
Symbols: The lower-left glyph is nearly a circle, although parts of its lower edge have been lost. The circle shape usually means "holding" similar to the arm motions of the same shape in sign language. However, it is a bit pointed on one side which extends the meaning into "end" or "ended."
The upper-right glyph is an upside down "U" which represents "rock." The enclosing travel line at the bottom extends to "hill," "mound," "heap," or "mountain" due to its steep shape.
The two straight lines on the top can have a couple of meanings. The sign language for "seeing" or "looking at" is two fingers of an otherwise closed hand pointing at what is being seen from in front of the eyes. In other words, this mountain (or hill) can be seen from the East (i.e. up the river toward Utah).
The doubled lines also mean "nothing there," or "gone from." When they are attached to something it means "gone from" that object or "empty."
Putting it TogetherOther glyphs: There doesn't appear to be any other glyphs associated with this cluster; however, the "petrodroppings" are worn and defaced. There certainly is enough "character" in the rock that other "rock incorporation's" may spring to mind should one have the time to "sit and ponder." There is another glyph in the area which describes a waterfall with cisterns which appears during a rain — I'll describe them in another post.
Possible Story: This seems to be a "travel story" or "map" (the absence of glyphs representing people); however, glyphs nearly always have a purpose because they are difficult to create. The mountain can be seen from a distance and following the trail will lead to journey's end, or place to stay for awhile.
Why Not Learn More
The book "The Rocks Begin To Speak" is probably the landmark text which opened this field of study to large numbers of people, and it is still in print, new or used at Amazon.
Consider how much more meaningful your trips to the "Glyphs of Gold Butte" would be if you knew the "meanings" of a few of the glyphs you saw.
If you decide to purchase the book, let me suggest that you please use the links on this page. There is absolutely no extra cost to you, however a portion will go to keeping this site going and the trails coming.

I thought I'd get back into the swing of reviews and start off with a brand that I've always been fascinated with: Yves Rocher. Hard to come by in North America, but fairly available in Europe. I have fond memories of my mother using their products when I was younger, their cleansers always smelled aaamazing.
I had been suffering from dry skin when I was browsing the store and therefore my eyes ended up landing on this product. It was labeled as a hydrating mask, the ingredients looked ok, and it was on sale, so I hurriedly placed it in my basket and went on my merry way.
I'll spare you the details and just cut to the chase here: it was a complete flop. Zero effect on my skin. I put it on, left it on for 20 minutes, washed it off, and bam! Same old dry skin. It was as if it was never on my face to begin with!
And I have tried leaving it on for much longer and it still had virtually no effect. My skin did feel softer, but it still felt very parched. To me, a good hydrating mask is one that leaves your skin feeling so quenched that you don't even need to put on a cream afterwards. With the Nutritive Vegetal Repair Cream Mask, I instantly bolted for my moisturizer. Ah yes, the woes of a disappointing product...
But don't worry, this hasn't deterred me from trying out other products from Yves Rocher in the future. I know they have some gems out there. If you have any recommendations yourself, please let me know in the comments! :)

Today I made lavender lemonade. It is a warm early summer sunday, and I was craving a refreshing and relaxing tonic, so out came the herbs and I concocted Lavender lemonade.
Everyone loves a glass of lemonade, and what better way to enjoy your herbal infusions in summer! This will work with almost any aromatic herb you may want to use. But even other non aromatic herbs make a lovely lemonade base.
I like to use such herbs as Lavender, Rose, Mint, Lemon Balm, Tulsi, Rosemary, Lemon Verbena, Birch, Hibiscus, Schisandra, Violet flowers, Elderberry or Elderflower, Hawthorn, St Johns Wort, Nettle and Marshmallow.
To start you will want to make sure you have plenty of fresh lemons, local raw honey, fresh water and herbs on hand. The following proportions make approximately 1 gal of lemonade. Adjust to taste and your needs.
1 qt strong herbal infusion - Boil 1 qt water, and pour over herbs in a glass jar. Make sure you make it strong enough for the flavors to come through in the lemonade. For lavender- 1 c dried lavender flowers for a 1 qt of infusion. Best to let these sit for 30 min or more, depending on your herb choice. 4-6 hrs is better for hardier herbs like fruits, roots or barks, or if you want to take advantage of mineral rich infusions of nettle or oatstraw. Always cover aromatic infusions to keep the flavors in the infusion!
4 lemons- Juice four fresh lemons. I like to use a citrus juice reamer, but other juice squeezers or your hands work well. Catch the seeds in a mesh strainer.
1/2- 1 cup raw honey- I like to use raw honey as a sweetener. Yes it will still have the effects of sugar on the body, and may not be appropriate for all people. You can use stevia if you wish, to sweeten and avoid sugar. Or use a little honey and little stevia. Experiment with how sweet you like it.
3 qts Clean cool water
In a gallon container, strain your herbal infusion, add your honey or stevia and mix well. Add juice of 4 lemons, and fill to the top with additional water. Cool, and serve with a garnish of sliced lemon!
Try this with limes too- mmmm minty limeade!

After months of feeding your worms and waiting for the morning when toil your is ready to bloom it's finally time to harvest your worm droppings. The leafy greens which have fed your worms will now most richly feed your residence. Much work and anticipation has led as much as this moment. However, now is the time that you must pick which resources to make use of and your worm farming goals for future years.
At the moment you have got the option to pick out which route to take. Because there are select few methods to harvest your worm droppings you have to decide whether you prefer to be spending money or time. The initial option to harvesting the worm droppings and by of the simplest will probably be the 99cent process.
This fashion I found is terrific in case don't have excessive compost to become harvested or if it's just the number one both time and you don't want spend money on your first time. Although, the drawbacks are that it may require a longer amount of time in comparison to the other systems and isn't perfect in terms of getting each section of worm castings. But it is the 99cent process and that in its self causes it to be among the best ways for people starting out. All you need at the most is definitely a : 99cent shovel, flat area, lighting choice, and time. I'm going to brake it nice and slowly.
First, begin by taking the castings and worms coming from the bin and placing them in small piles at the flat surface( say around two fists big).In the source of light above the worms they could dive down.Simply because they do that scoop the castings from the piles and add it on the side.Make an effort to do that every five-ten minutes until each of the castings are gone.By the end be certain the worms aren't just ignored within the light ( this will likely make her angry ). There you have it a sweet as well as just technique to extract your worm droppings from a worms. Also in the event you have kids this might become a great time to offer them some work.
The Quick Way to Harvest Worms
The other solution I will not share with you today. But I will tell how you can find at the end. Once it's created you won't must spend hours scraping the tops from mounds because it won't matter whether you're harvesting 1 pound of worms or 100 based on the scale. This can be mainly pointed towards those looking to have a larger collecting of worms. However, this process is likewise being used by small home farms as well as just individuals wanting to not waste time. This protects essentially the most go for bigger worm harvesting, but considering these structures can cylinder and be built to all sizes it might work for anyone farming worms. How it is may be that while you spin the you slowly pour the worms and castings down and even though the worm droppings fall though the mess the worms exit the shoot. This makes for quick and efficient harvesting. Iv'e found that if you're likely going to be spending any serious time managing worms here is the strategy to use. It's a simple design and could be created with only a couple of basic tools.

New study reveals high rates of Indigenous dementia
A ground-breaking study has found Aboriginal Australians are three times more likely to suffer dementia than non-Indigenous Australians.
Researchers say risk factors include high blood pressure, obesity, smoking and diabetes, and it is thought the damage to the brain occurs as far back as childhood.
The three-year study into how Aboriginal Australians age, titled Koori Growing Old Well, was conducted across five urban and regional Indigenous communities in New South Wales.
They were La Perouse, Campbelltown, Kempsey, Nambucca and Coffs Harbour and included 336 participants, all over 60 years of age.
Aunty Margaret is an Aboriginal elder from western Sydney. She decided to get involved in the study after her husband John struggled with dementia.
She says his memory problems started 10 years ago and that he also had diabetes and heart disease. He died two years ago, after a heart attack.
"I noticed a difference in his attitude. It wasn't the John that I knew, the John that I married," she said.
"Things I asked him about at the time, he would forget five or 10 minutes later. It was sad.
I noticed a difference in his attitude. It wasn't the John that I knew, the John that I married. Things I asked him about at the time, he would forget five or ten minutes later. It was sad.Aunty Margaret
"Lights would go on all over the place and I knew when the front door was being opened, so I'd get up and he would be sitting out in the front yard, all dressed, just sitting there."
The study found that Aboriginal people suffer from the same type of dementia as non-Indigenous Australians, with Alzheimer's disease affecting the greatest number of people, followed by vascular dementia.
There was a higher rate of dementia caused by head trauma, but alcohol-related dementia was rare.
Professor Tony Broe, a senior research fellow at Neuroscience Research Australia, led the study.
He says the results confirm earlier research in remote Aboriginal populations, including one in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
But only about 30 per cent live in remote areas and Professor Broe says research needs to be undertaken in urban and regional areas, where the majority of Indigenous Australians live.
"Aboriginal people in urban areas have a high incidence of many of the risk factors that have been linked to dementia in studies around the world," he said.
"We feel that is sort of just an end result of what is happening to Aboriginal people.
"Why do they smoke too much, why do they get obese, why do they eat more than their non-Indigenous colleagues.
"It's because what happened to them in early life.
"Although Alzheimer's disease is such an organic disease, we believe that the social determinants of growing your brain well are very important."
'In denial'
The study was conducted between 2009 and 2012, with final data collection in October 2012.
While the analysis is still ongoing, preliminary results suggest the prevalence of dementia over 60 years of age is more than 13 per cent in Aboriginal Australians.
But Professor Broe says they are "a young, old group" with 73 per cent of those with dementia aged between 60 and 70, compared with non-Indigenous Australians where the majority are over 70.
As such they had to "age adjust" the figures.
"We found the rate is 21 per cent, which is three times the non-Indigenous rate and I think that is the more accurate figure to look at the burden of dementia," he said.
The results have prompted doctors to call for appropriate services tailored specifically for the Indigenous community.
Colleen Cawood is an Aboriginal health worker based in Sydney who helped recruit patients for the trial.
She says some Indigenous people are reluctant to share their health concerns.
"They just like to stay private and keep their health issues confidential within the family. They don't want it what we call 'going on the Koori grapevine'," she said.
And Ms Cawood says some people do not want to accept the diagnosis when it is given.
It's because what happened to them in early life. Although Alzheimer's disease is such an organic disease, we believe that the social determinants of growing your brain well are very important.Professor Tony Broe
"They are struggling. Some of the families are in denial, saying he hasn't got dementia and we try to tell them he shouldn't be left alone," she said.
She says most Indigenous families want to care for their loved ones with dementia at home, rather than put them into aged care.
Professor Broe says the findings will be used to develop education and services for older Indigenous people with dementia and for their families.
Glenn Rees from Alzheimer's Australia says the findings show how important research is.
"This would help us provide culturally appropriate services for Australia's Indigenous community," Mr Rees says.
Aunty Margaret is now an Aboriginal Dementia Knowledge Elder with the project, providing information and a point of contact for the local community in Campbelltown.
She says there has been a change in attitude towards dementia and that it is important to have services targeted specifically for Aboriginal people.
"They need somewhere where they can come to get information and they know they can come to me," she said.
"They like that, that they can come somewhere and talk to someone about their problems, a familiar face, especially an Aboriginal person they can sit down and talk to."
