The Nature Valley Open in Nottingham is one of the jewels in the British Tennis crown and heralds the start of the grass-court season. Prestigious tennis tournaments in the city have a long history dating back to the 1970s, but the WTA women's event began back in 2015 and has quickly become a standout moment in the Nottinghamsporting calendar.
The week-long event is combined with the men's ATP Challenger tournament as tennis stars from all over the world will converge on the Nottingham Tennis Centre from 9th to 17th June. This year's women's event has a star-studded line-up with four of the world's top 25 set to make an appearance.
Ashleigh Barty, ranked 18th in the world, Magdaléna Rybáriková (19), Naomi Osaka (21) and British No.1 Johanna Konta (23) are also joined by last year's winner Donna Vekic, Olympic gold medalist Monica Puig and British No.2 Heather Watson.
WTA Tournament Director, Rebecca James, said: "This is a top-class line-up and one I am sure the public are excited about seeing. It is fantastic to have four of the world's top 25 in Nottingham and it shows how important this tournament is for the grass-court season.
"The tournament in Nottingham is now in its fourth year and it grows bigger each year. The players all love coming to compete at the Nottingham Tennis Centre to play on the fantastic grass-courts and in front of the amazing knowledgeable spectators."
Slovakian Rybáriková reached the semi-finals in Nottingham last year and was also a semi-finalist at Wimbledon, before losing to eventual champion Garbiñe Muguruza.
"I am excited to return to Nottingham and am looking forward to playing in the Nature Valley Open again," said Rybáriková. "I enjoyed my time in the city and at the tournament last year. The grass courts are excellent, so it is the perfect way for me to start my preparation for Wimbledon. I had a great run to the semi-final last time and I hope I can improve on that this year."
British tennis fans will be looking forward to seeing Konta who has risen dramatically through the world rankings in the last couple of years.
At the end of 2014, the British No.1 was ranked 150th in the world but by July of last year, the 26-year-old had reached a career-high of fourth in the world.
Konta has won three WTA tour titles and 2017 saw her reach the quarter-final at Australian Open and the semi-finals at Wimbledon.
Konta, who will play in Nottingham, Birmingham and Eastbourne this year, said: "I'm so excited to be returning to play these fantastic tournaments in the summer. The grass-court season is one of my favourites and nothing compares to competing at home with passionate fans, friends and family who are behind you all the way.
"I know I'm incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to compete in front of a home crowd, it's such a special feeling. These tournaments also provide me with the perfect pathway to Wimbledon. Last year it proved to be the best preparation possible as I enjoyed my most successful Wimbledon ever and hopefully it will have the same effect for 2018.
"As always I know there will be a really strong player field at Nottingham, Birmingham and Eastbourne and I'll face some tough opponents in competitive matches, but I can't wait to get on court and fly the flag for British tennis."
The men's challenger tournament runs alongside the women's event and one of Britain's rising men's tennis stars, Cameron Norrie, has confirmed his participation at the event.
The 22-year-old shot to fame in Britain's Davis Cup tie with Spain in Marbella in February when he came from two sets down to beat Roberto Bautista who was ranked 91 places above him.
Norrie said: "I'm really looking forward to coming to Nottingham to play on the excellent grass courts. I know that the courts there will be a fantastic preparation for me as a lead up to Wimbledon as it will be a good opportunity for me to get used to the grass and to play well in the event."
Men's Tournament Director, Paul Hutchins, said: "We are really pleased that Cam is coming to the tournament. He has had an interesting career since being a top-10 world junior, recently representing GB in Davis Cup action against Spain where he played unbelievably well to beat top clay-court specialist Roberto Bautista.
"Before turning pro in 2017, Cam was a top All American College player at Texas Christian College and has adapted well to the ATP Tour, recently qualifying in two ATP Masters events in Indian Wells and Miami. It will be good for the Nottingham public to welcome Cam."
In addition to world-class tennis on court, there is plenty on offer for fans off court too, including al fresco dining and the Explore Wimbledon exhibition that will give spectators the opportunity to actually step into the footsteps of past tennis legends.
The annual Family Fun Weekend will take place on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th June where children can get involved in various activities and the ever-popular Ladies Day will be returning on Wednesday 13th June.
The Nature Valley Open is a one of the most sought-after tennis events of the season and is one of the British Tennis grass-court lead up events to Wimbledon. Get your ticket to the summer at Lta.org.uk/major-events/nature-valley-open/

Jose Mourinho hopes four Manchester United stars will extend their contracts
Jose Mourinho hopes four Manchester United stars will extend their contracts
Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Watford, Jose Mourinho had his say on the contract situations of four United players whose contracts are coming to an end.
'I hope they will stay'
When asked about the futures of Luke Shaw, Juan Mata, Ander Herrera and Ashley Young, Mourinho stated:
"I hope they will stay.
"We had a similar conversation last season about Marouane Fellaini and I was always saying, 'I hope he stays, I believe he will stay,' and I say the same thing – I hope they stay.
"I'm happy with the players, David [De Gea] is David, no need for more words. Luke Shaw's evolution makes us believe that he is going in the right direction – I want to keep him.
"Juan Mata and Ander Herrera, even if they are not playing a lot or if they are not starting matches, by the character point of view and by what they represent in the modern society in football they are almost unique pieces that I also don't want to lose."
Manchester United vs Watford
Manchester United host Watford in the final Premier League game of today.
Coming into the game, United have had a somewhat mixed start to the season.
Mourinho's men kicked off their 2018/19 campaign with 2-1 win over Leicester.
However, Manchester United would then suffer back-to-back defeats to Brighton and Tottenham.
United's last game saw them beat Burnley 2-0.
Watford, on the other hand, have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season.
The Hornets have picked up wins against Brighton, Burnley, Crystal Palace and most recently, Tottenham.
So, Watford will be by no means an easy game for United.

Theme: Jesus Grows Up
Scripture:Luke 2:41-52
Jesus had to grow up. He lived in a normal family that dealt with normal family issues. He knew what it was like to feel different and feel like an outsider. He was bullied, mistreated, and was talked about behind his back. He also had to grow up emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Part of this development happened through faith traditions. His family traveled to Jerusalem every year for the Passover. What faith traditions do you have? Jesus also spent a lot of time reading the Bible. It says that the Scholars in the Temple were amazed with His knowledge. If we want to grow up we too need to spend time in our Bible, in prayer, and in worship. But when we pray we pray to a God who understands the stuff that we go through. When we worship we worship a God who understands joy and pain. When we work we work for a God that understands hard work. What an amazing gift that we can be confident that God understands us!
Questions/Discussion topics to engage your students:
- What faith traditions do we have?
- Where are times that we could incorporate more prayer and worship in our lives? (i.e. praying in the shower, singing praises in the car)
- How does it make you feel to know that God understands you and the things you go through?
High School Dig
Theme: Solomon- Get Wisdom
Scripture: 1 Kings 3:1-15 & James 1:5-8
Solomon was King David's Son. He grew up with a father who made some bad decisions in his life, yet David was still a man after God's own heart. David was a prosperous king because he trusted in God and Solomon knew that if he wanted to be a good and prosperous king he too would need God. Solomon truly loved God, but he wasn't to wise and didn't quite know how to show it. Solomon married an Egyptian woman so that there would be peace between Israel and Egypt. Solomon also sacrificed in the high places (places with elevation) to God. These things may seem like good things, but they were acts of disobedience towards God. God's law stated that Solomon was to only marry an Israelite. Also, God's law stated that sacrifices were only to be done in the Tabernacle. Solomon loved God and wanted God to be near to him, but he didn't take God's law to seriously. This is something we probably can relate to. Even though Solomon disobeyed God, God showed Solomon grace and mercy. God saw Solomon's heart and knew that Solomon loved Him. This is the person of God! God knows our heart. In James it promises us that when we draw near to God that God will draw near to us. God responds to our hearts by drawing near to us. One night in a dream God came to Solomon and tells him that he can have anything he asks for. Solomon asks for wisdom and God grants this to him. James 1:5-8 promises us that God will give us wisdom if we ask for it. But when we ask God it can't be a shot in the dark or a "well lets see if this works". God grants wisdom to those who ask Him and trust Him.
Teenagers need wisdom. How can we grow up to be wise people later in our lives if we don't start now. The amazing thing is that God gives wisdom to all who ask. It doesn't matter what your age is. You can be wise now. When we draw close to God He will draw close to us. Why not now?
Questions/Discussion topics to engage your student
- When was a time that you casually disobeyed God? What happened?
- How would you define wisdom?
- Encourage your students in areas in which you have seen wisdom displayed in their lives.
Grace and Peace,

Hi! My name is Nicole Dunn, and I am a second grade teacher at Calvert Elementary School. This is my 14th year teaching, but my 7th in Auburn. I am very excited to be a part of the Auburn School District!
I graduated high school from Pawnee City in 2001 and from there went to Peru State College. At Peru State I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. I also have a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Peru State and a Masters of Science degree in Reading from UNK. There is nothing like being a life long learner and an Auburn Bulldog!
In my free time I enjoy spending lots of time with my husband Shane, stepsons Alec and Joey, daughter Tinley, and son Marshall. Alec is a Crop Adjuster and lives in David City, NE. Joey live in Nebraska City and works at Martin Marietta in Weeping Water. Tinley is a first grader here at Calvert and enjoys playing with her friends, cheerleading, and gymnastics. Marshall is two and is quite the little man! He loves talking and dancing and loves spending time with his teachers and friends at daycare. Other than family, I really enjoy watching sports, visiting with friends, and finding the next great idea on Pinterest.

When To Order Wedding Stationery
A question I get asked often is when to order save the dates. Save the dates should be sent 6-8 months in advance, once you have confirmed your wedding details (date, venue, city, etc.). You would only send a save the date to someone who you are definitely inviting to your wedding (for example: don't send a save the date to someone if you will not be sending them an actual invitation).
Do I really need save the dates?
For most weddings, yes. The only time you wouldn't need them is if you are having a small, intimate ceremony.
You will have your names, wedding location, and wedding date on the card, as well as "formal invitation to follow" so they know to expect further details. It is perfectly acceptable (and recommended) for you to include your wedding website on the card, so your guests can follow along as your big day approaches.
When should my RSVP deadline be?
Your RSVP deadline should be a minimum of 30 days from your wedding date. This gives you the chance to track down anyone you didn't hear from, as well as prepare your escort and/or place cards.
Day of stationery
Many forget about the stationery needs for the wedding day - menus, programs, escort and place cards, itineraries, thank you notes, etc. Make sure to leave room in your budget for these last minute items, so you can ensure they coordinate with the rest of your stationery.
WEDDING Stationery TIMELINE
I have compiled a simple timeline below for brides to reference on when to order their stationery. There are many different timelines out there; however, as a wedding stationer, these are the times that are most realistic and also adhere to etiquette.
By following this timeline, it will keep you stress free and on budget!

Tadjiks, Bashkirs etc. in USSR changes their Latin script also in 1939/40, almost almost every Soviet nation introduced Cyrillic orthography in 1939/40. And "suprisingly" Moldovans returned back to their "native" orthography just in the same time. I do not feel this sudden Pan-Soviet change a natural, spontaneous process... Rumanian was no a literary language (there was nor a common standard) until the middle of 19th century (i.e until Vasile Alecsandi). Earlier Rumanian was a folk-speech, because the language of the royal chancellary and nobility was Church Slavonic until 18th century, later Greek and French were used in the Regat (in Moldavia and Wallachia), or Latin, Hungarian and German in Transsylvania. Therefore there was no Rumanian "orthography" until 1859, at all. The conventions used were only transcriptions on the basis of another language. That was Church Slavonic, and Latin in Transsylvania. The first attempts for creation a literary language came from the |S,coala Ardeleana(| 'Transsylvanian School' on the turn of the 18- 19th century and they had Latin traditions as citizens of Hungary. This was the reason that Latin script was used for the freshly developed literary language of a freshly founded state (Moldavia and Wallachia were united in this year, and this was the first de facto independent Rumanian state after 14th cenrury). Moreover previous Cyrillic tranditions were based on Church Slavonic, while Moldavian orthography was a mutation of the post-1917 Russian script.

Next day, we decide to take it a little easy - not covering hundreds of miles and numerous ghost towns -- just two, Mogollon and Pinos Altos, both easy drives from Silver City. In fact we weren't even sure we would be traveling as the weather said Silver City was supposed to get 6-8" of snow. It didn't. Getting around slowly though, we finally head out to Mogollon, one of New Mexico's premier ghost towns. It's just about 70 miles northwest of Silver City, the sun is shining bright, and it should be an easy trip. Right?
Well, not when ole' Kathy is around - always got to have at least one adventure on my trips to tell you about. Actually, it was easy for the first hour, I'm driving, good roads, breeze through Glenwood looking for our turn to take us into the Mogollon Mountains. Still easy for a couple of miles, then we start to climb. And, viola, we find snow and ice, especially on the shady side of the mountain. Hmmm, guess there was something to those signs we ignored that said "steep grade," "sharp turns," and "night travel discouraged." Never one to back off a steep road or a little snow, especially when navigating in an SUV, forward we go. The road rises some 2,500 feet, before dropping back down about 1,200 feet to Mogollon, all in the space of nine miles. It is narrow and twisting, with solid rock straight up one side for hundreds of feet and straight down an equal or greater distance on the other side.
Though poor Dave is clinging to console and his backside is puckering (his words,) I'm ok. Well, at least until I meet someone coming down that road on an extremely narrow stretch of gravel. Hmmm, what is that rule when you meet someone on a narrow mountain road -- is it the person going up or the person coming down that's supposed to back up. Totally escapes me. Maybe that's why those people were glaring at me when they stopped and I passed them on the side. Backing up is just simply not an option for me. I have trouble with that in my driveway. Ok, now, I am scared as I know my wheels are just inches from the dropping cliff to the left, and my right rear view mirror narrowly misses colliding with theirs. Suffering more dirty looks, we're off again. No harm done, right? Shake it off - there's some beautiful views! Dave is as white as a sheet.
Now, it's a February weekday. There is absolutely no one else going up to this remote ghost town and only 15 residents who live there, so what are the odds, that five minutes later, we meet another vehicle coming down the mountain. Still can't remember that rule, but this time, I see opportunity, pull off, wait and wave as the car passes on down the mountain.
When we finally reach Mogollon, it is everything they said it would be -- filled with historic buildings and most of the snow has melted. The one good thing about ghost towning in the winter, is there aren't a bunch of people standing in front of the buildings I want to take pictures of. Didn't see nary a soul except for one stray dog and a lonely carpenter working on a house.
It was great, at least until, I wanted to make another steep trek up a two mile stretch to the cemetery. After about five minutes of rocking and bumping around, Dave wasn't having any more of that, so we turned around.
Going down was easy, of course. Back to Silver City, we then make our way to Pinos Altos. Another historic mining town, it still provides a number of historic buildings to look at, but this is no ghost town anymore. Just six miles north of Silver City, it appears to be more of a quaint little suburb, as new construction, luxury cabins, and resorts dot the terrain.
That's all - easy peasy day. Next mission, the best steakhouse in Silver City. Oops, me thinks we missed that opportunity back in Texas.

3 Top Tips Networking For Referrals With Video
Networking For Referrals Authentically
Networking for referrals can be like 'swimming through pea soup!' Have you yourself ever been networking for new business? How did you get on? Did you make any new quality contacts? Did you get any new business?
Networking Can Be Hard Work!
For years I disliked networking because it was so superficial. It was not a nice experience for me at all. I am not saying networking is particularly demanding at all, indeed it shouldn't be particularly.
For me and many others like me, we find it hard work because some people have not got a clue what networking is about!
Desperate Networking
If you have been networking before you have seen these people. Desperately running around trying to see who they can 'sell to' and who the key players are, desperately handing out their cards and speaking to anyone that will listen to what they have to say.
They completely ignore what the other person wants, or, at best, 'pretend' they are interested!
This is fundamentally flawed and will get you next to no new business at all.
Thankfully there is a better way!
3 Top Tips Networking For Referrals
Tip 1- Choose The Right Event
Choosing the right event is really important. Choose an event that has your target audience likely to be there and likely to be interested in what you do. Research your audience and tailor your pitch if you need to, to that audience.
Tip 2 - Have Your Pitch Ready
Have your introductory pitch ready. What is a pitch you ask? A pitch is a very abbreviated explanation of what you do and what solution you offer.
Simple Pitch Formula
Fill in the blanks:
"You know how hard it can be to....."
"Well we help people .... (your solution)"
A Pitch Formula Example
" You know how people often struggle to get the influencers that can get high value sales and clients in their business?
"well we teach businesses how get introductions to people who then create high value low cost sales almost on autopilot as a systemised formula."
Now do your own and:
- Read it our loud - sound good? If yes then
- Record it
- Play it back
- Repeat it back throughout the day
Then when you are next at an event, say your pitch when people ask what you do...
Tip 3 - Networking Is Building Relationships
I say this constantly. Referrals are all about building relationships. They are not about what you can get, they are about what you can give.
What do I mean by this?
What I mean is that referrals work when the other person feels like they trust you and are inspired to want to help you. One of the fastest ways to achieve this is to add value for someone when you are at an event. This means that you are listening out for how you can help this person. You are not pushing the sale!
When the person in front of you sees authentic value you have brought to the table reciprocity naturally happens and you will find then that people will naturally want to knwo what you do AND how they can help you also.
This is how referrals fly...

If you are you in search of solutions to finally gain control of your credit card bills, take the help of credit card debt consolidation services. Recently, credit card debt consolidation techniques top the list of alternatives of bringing overall reduction to your payable credit card debt amount. Debt consolidation processes which are solely designed to treat financial crisis resulted from credit card usage are abundant. Therefore, to find out whichever solution you are looking for or what suits your particular situation, talk to a credit card debt reduction company or consolidation professional.
Advantages Of Credit Card Consolidation Services
There are various factors to influence in the burgeoning of your credit card bills. The most important factor is the rate of interest that credit card organizations charge their users. This rate of interest charged on credit card usage is much higher than any loan and tends to increase your credit card bills which often exceed the original amount borrowed. Therefore, reducing the interest rates is inclusive of credit card debt consolidation services. There are also many tasks that are performed by credit card debt management experts.
It can either be a loan or credit card debt consolidation counseling services that you can turn to for help on your debt swelling crisis. A debt consolidation loan will help put your multiple credit card debts into a single debt account. This debt consolidation loan is designed to aid you with the financial support to pay off all your creditors. To find the perfect loan program, thorough evaluation of your present overall economic condition including total accumulated debt amount is important. Debt consolidation companies include a preliminary counseling into their credit card debt consolidation services. Counselors provide a detailed assessment taking into account your income structure, total debt amount, regular monthly expenses, interest rates of cards etc.
What happens when you fall behind the due date of credit card bills? You are given letters of reminder and calls from your creditors; you can put an end to this by letting your credit counselor contact your creditors. One of the most useful credit card debt consolidation services is credit card debt negotiation service.

So one day "Artist" Yaya Chou decided the best way to bring awareness to bad stuff kids eat was by desecrating delicious red candy. The above sculpture is titled "Joy-Coated" and brings me negative joy.
No one believes gummi bears are raised on free range farms and hand fed by virgins. Children eat junk. They watch junk. This sculture converts delicious red candy into junk.
Also - Gummi Bears never have coupons. I hope she wasted generic bears to make her obvious point!

Continuing the theme of delicious desserts that don't break the rules, you might want to try this amazing ice cream recipe that needs no special equipment, no churning and no sugar. It's not for every day (I still try not to encourage a sweet tooth) but it's great for special occasions.
- 500ml double cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 tbsp xylitol
- 2 trays of tray of ice
- 4 tbsp salt
- 1 medium freezer bag
- 1 large freezer bag
Combine the first three ingredients inside a strong, medium sized freezer bag. Squeeze out as much of the air as possible before sealing tightly with a bag clip, or use a Ziploc bag.
Fill a large freezer bag with 4 cups of ice and 4 tablespoons of salt then nestle the carefully sealed cream bag among the ice cubes. Again, squeeze out as much air as possible and seal tightly.
Shake the two bags together for about 5 to 8 minutes. You may find it more comfortable to do this inside a tea towel or with rubber gloves on.
When the ice cream has reached the consistency you prefer – you can find out by poking the bag – open the ice bag, remove the inner bag and carefully rinse the sides to remove all traces of the salt.
Serve immediately.
You can experiment with flavours too. My favourites are:
- cardamom and lime zest
- fresh raspberries or blackcurrants
- cocoa powder and hazelnuts
- lemon juice and zest
- coffee and walnuts
- 85% dark chocolate chips

As of 20th May 2018, there will be changes coming to M.O.T test works in England, Scotland and Wales. The changes will affect cars, vans, motorcycles and other light vehicles.
The first change, defects will be categorised differently and go as follows:
- Dangerous, meaning a person/s will directly and immediately be at risk to themselves or other road users. Also known as a fail.
- Major, meaning a person/s safety may be at risk to themselves or other road users. Also known as a fail.
- Minor¸ meaning no significant effect on a person/s or other road users but will need repairing as soon as possible. Also known as a pass.
- Advisory, meaning the vehicle is safe for the meantime, but will need repairing in the near future along with light monetarisation. Also known as a pass.
- Pass, meaning the vehicle meets the minimum legal standard.
The second change, there will be strict guidelines in place for emissions coming from diesel cars with a diesel particulate filter if the vehicle has a DPF filter. The M.O.T will be able to grade this fault as a major if:
- There is smoke of any colour coming from the exhaust.
- There is evidence that the DPF filter has been changed from standard.
The third change, new criteria will be put in the M.O.T tests, such as:
- Tyre pressure.
- Brake fluid is contamination.
- Fluid leaks posing a risk.
- Break pad warning lights.
- Break discs or pads missing.
- Reversing lights.
- Headlight washers (If car is fitted with them).
- Day time running lights.
There is also extra minor checks that your M.O.T centre will be able to advise you about.
The forth change, the M.O.T test certificate will change and list any defects under new categories so that they are clearer for people to understand. There will also be a service coming to check previous M.O.T history and will update with each change.
The fifth change, some cars over 40 years old will not need an M.O.T, unless they have been substantially changed. Currently vehicles built before 1960 are exempt from needing an M.O.T, however the guidelines now specify that vehicles will no longer need an M.O.T from the 40th anniversary of when they were registered.
We are always looking for fully qualified technicians. If you are looking for a new career, send over your C.V to [email protected] and one of our consultants will be in contact with you. Or call us directly here at John Gibson Associates on – 01904628077!

Give Me Love
Author: Mizuno-Hikaru
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson
Warning: unbetaed. Pardon my horrible grammar mistakes.
A/N: Title and insert song taken from Ed Sheeran's "Gimme Love" Try to listen to the live room version here
♬♪♫ Told you I'd let them go.
And that I'll find my corner ♪♬
Sherlock Holmes is a rational man. Of course, being emotional and sentimental won't help him during the investigation, after all. He is the type of person who keep calculating all of the possibilities then act accordingly, to avoid unnecessary mess.
The sound of footsteps and people laugh's from the front street filled the room. He left his window opened wide, that's why—carried all of the festive sounds into his flat. The night's wind was breezy and cold, but apparently helped him to stay sober, so he let his breath turned into a white thin mist in the air and threw himself onto the couch.
His violin was there on the case, next to the fireplace, but he lost all of his interest to play. The chaos inside him was indescribable with any, any melody he will play with the strings instrument anyway, so why bother…?
The fireplace was unlit and so did the room heater. Damn cold. Near midnight. Sherlock Holmes realized that he was acting like a damn fool he never did before, and then he laughed.
An odd, unhappy laugh.
♬♪♫ Maybe tonight I'll call you,
After my blood turns into alcohol,
No I just wanna hold you ♪♬
The blonde, short haired girl was standing beside him as John was a few yards hailing a cabbie. Even after two years, John and cab-calling were never lined into a smooth sentence together, Sherlock amused. It always him who called the cab—the one who stopped the carriage before both of them rushed inside and sighed from London's usual cold and damp weather.
"I don't understand." Sherlock pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand and holds a paper napkin underneath—blood was still running from his nose. Damn John and his punches, his hedgehog apparently didn't hesitate during the rage blow. "I said I'm sorry. Isn't that what you're supposed to do?"
"Gosh. You don't know anything about human nature, do you?" The girl chuckled; and Sherlock sighed. "Mmm, nature? No. Human? ... No." Who is this girl, anyway?
"I'll talk him round."
"You will?" Her tone of speaking was way too confident. Finally, finally, Sherlock looked straight at her. A soft, nice looking face with sparkling eyes and sweet smile—her short hair was styled nicely and compliment her chic dress.
only child, linguist, clever, part time nurse, shortsighted, guardian, bakes own bread, disillusioned, cat lover, romantic, appendix scar, Liberal Democrat, secret tattoo, size 12, liar
Sherlock paused. John got several girlfriends before, and it was a breeze to get rid of them. But apparently two years passed and he was way too late. John was serious about this one. His hedgehog was trying to propose to this Mary before on the restaurant.
He was expecting John to recognized him immediately, rushed into his embrace, exchanged a few words and sobs…but no. His Watson was way too preoccupied with the small velvet box with that damn diamond ring inside. Two, three months worth of paycheck, apparently.
The small voice inside his heart whispered, she's a tough rival.
♬♪♫ Give a little time to me, we'll burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek, to turn this around,
And all I want is the taste that your lips allow ♪♬
The tuxedo felt wrong. He stared at the venue, all decorated with fresh flowers and ribbons. It was perfectly beautiful day with a sunny and warm weather, but he felt so listless. White shirt, black tuxedo, a silk tie and white roses as his boutonniere—they felt incredibly wrong, out of place.
Mrs. Hudson told him that he looked nice in his outfit—You looked great, Sherlock. My, my. Isn't it a lovely day? It was a lovely day, yes, but he felt like he was being punched in the gut. With a wicked pain that wouldn't go away.
Then he heard John's laughs. Hair combed nicely, parted to side, freshly shaved this morning—the aftershave's cologne scent was way too obvious. His hedgehog was nervous, but truly happy—excited. His pupils were dilated, framed with those laughing lines and Sherlock plastered a smile on his own face.
You're happy, right John?
♬♪♫ My my, my my-y oh give me love,
My my, my my-y oh give me love ♪♬
I don't have friends. I've just got one.
Maybe, maybe, that's why Sherlock Holmes stood by the bride and groom—gave his speech like a best friend should do. Mary was there, sitting beside his John, wearing a broken white wedding dress with a veil tucked under her flower crown. She was smiling, wide and happy with such glee, arms intertwined with John's.
He got so many moments with his hedgehog, and a small sinister voice deep inside his heart warned him—you'll learn to live without him now Boy. You've lost. He's not entirely yours now, won't share that flat with you anymore, and soon those long, hard nights of lonely and empty feelings will haunt you forever. And ever.
"So know this," Sherlock continued his speech, "Today you sit between the woman you've made your wife and the man you've saved. In short, the two people who love you most in all this world…"
He felt like he was on that stupid roof again, speaking to his phone; trying to tell John about them, about his feelings, about everything. "It's a magic trick, a magic trick, John…" was what he said before, but his hedgehog didn't get what he meant. Now, will John got what he truly meant?
…that I love you and every day in the entire two years, I keep loving you—missing you; longing your warmth under my touch? Or just to see you smile. Or to see you fret. Just doing the usual daily basic, like shopping during those old boring days…because sat side by side to just talk became something fancy recently; frustrating and—
But John gave him an awkward smile, and Sherlock replied that smile. Suddenly everything didn't matter anymore.
As long as you're happy John…
♬♪♫ Give me love like never before,
'Cause lately I've been craving more.
And it's been a while but i still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go ♪♬
And now here he was.
The great Sherlock Holmes, all alone inside his flat. 221B Baker Street, no longer a share flat for two.
Not anymore.
Another laugh.
As long as you're happy John…
And Sherlock let the window remained open.

"Pimps, Prostitutes, Pharisees and Freedom" – John 8:31-36
John 8:31-36
Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word you are truly my disciples and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free." They said to him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone, what do you mean by saying, 'You will be made free.'?" Jesus answered them, "Anyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not have a permanent place in the household, but the Son has a place there forever. So, if the Son makes you free, you will be free, indeed."
Oddly enough, I had slavery on the brain this week even before I started to consider this Gospel for Reformation Sunday. Many of you know we had a pretty meaningful evening last Sunday, watching this documentary about human trafficking called Sex and Money. I learned at least one new thing that night which was deeply profound for me and that I'm still stewing about. But before I go there, you should know that I'm no prude about this subject. I was a Psychology, Criminology major in college, remember, and I've done my fair share of thinking about these sorts of things. I even watch plenty of documentaries, like that one, in my free time, much to my wife's dismay (She thinks it's a bit weird how interested I am in the world of criminal behavior.)
And despite what I feel like I know – or knew – about it all, it wouldn't have taken much to convince me that it might be worth considering that something like prostitution would/could, maybe even should be legalized in more places. Morality and ethics aside, I can get behind the notion that it would save lots of time and money on the part of law enforcement, the court and criminal justice systems, jails and prisons, and all the rest. I can even see that in some instances, like prostitution for example, there are grown people making adult decisions about what they do with their lives, their bodies and their money.
If it were legal – prostitution, I mean – at least it could be regulated, the argument goes. If it were legal, at least there could be mandatory testing and treatment for diseases. If it were legal, the workers would have more opportunity to manage their own affairs, more power over their own money, more control over their own well-being, less of a chance they'd be taken advantage by their pimps.
But the most enlightening part of the documentary we saw last Sunday came when a woman (I wasn't taking notes, so I'm not sure if she was a psychologist, a sociologist, a professor, a lawyer, or what), but she said something about being thankful that during the days of the abolition movement in our own country, she was glad no one ever proposed the notion that there might be better, safer, more fair ways to regulate the owning of African people as slaves. It was an all or nothing sort of deal. It was either going to be all okay or it would all be deemed an abomination. And thankfully, of course, it was all abolished, from a legal, cultural perspective anyway.
Her point was that there is no way to pretend – or that we should ever be convinced – that slavery is okay; that you can regulate or make fair or keep safe or make right the enslavement of another human being – whether it's Africans during the 18th Century or boys and girls, or men and women in this day and age.
Like I said, I'm no prude about this. I can imagine there are grown men and grown women who make adult, informed, considered, consenting decisions about their participation in the work of prostitution. But, if you believe the statistics, this just isn't true for too many, if not the vast majority, of workers in that field – and it's the point at which good ol' fashioned prostitution begins to look a lot more like modern day "human trafficking" and slavery.
For instance, the average age of entry into the human trafficking industry is 12 years old.
Some statistics suggest that 1 in 3 young people is solicited for sex within 48 hours of running away or becoming homeless in the U.S.
The average price for a human being in the world is $90.
And finally, if a woman survives all of that and "decides" to make it a way of life, the average prostitute, in an effort to escape abuse and violence of all kinds, leaves and goes back to her pimp 5-7 times before getting away from him for good, if she ever does. It's all very much like any abusive relationship. The victims are convinced they are loved and in love with these men. They are groomed into believing this is what they're worth; how life is; that they don't have any other option so that this is what they want, even, for themselves.
These women live so long under such mind-numbing, mind-controlling, mind-warping conditions that they believe they are deciding, choosing, consenting to this way of life. Which is where – believe it or not – this Reformation Gospel comes to mind. For most of us, it may not be as shocking or as shameful or as dark as the world of human trafficking, but for others it may just be.
Either way, my favorite moment in this Gospel is when the Jews who were listening to Jesus say, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean by saying, 'You will be made free.'?"
The truth, of course, is that they come from a long history of slavery, these Jews. Jesus could have said, "Are you crazy? Are you serious? Are you so ignorant of your past that you don't know? How can you say you've never been slaves to anyone? As Jews, we've been slaves as often as we haven't, it seems. What about all those generations in Egypt? Or all those years in Assyria? What about the fact that, even now, centuries later, we're living under the rule of Rome and none of us is as 'free' as we'd like to be?
And none of that is really even what Jesus is talking about or referring to or getting at, except that it highlights how readily we allow ourselves to misunderstand the reality of our circumstances.
See, Jesus isn't talking about freedom from some social, political, or cultural kinds of slavery the way we – and those First Century Jews in his audience – are inclined to assume. Jesus is talking about freedom from the helpless state of our souls and freedom from the slavery of sin that binds everyone of us.
"Whoever commits sin is a slave to sin," Jesus says. "Whoever commits sin is a slave."
So, could I see a show of hands? Who among us is without sin in the eyes of God?
So, we're clear about this. We get it. Like Paul says, we all sin and we all fall short of the glory of God. Like it or not. It's just the way it is. We're sinners. Losers. Broken. Enslaved. Bound. Helpless.
And, like the Jews of Jesus day, there are Pharisees among us, and pastors and pimps and people living next door, too, who try to convince us, and trick us and fool us into believing we need them and their rules and their ways to be free.
But Jesus shows up and says none of that will do. He says we need someone bigger and something better than anything in this world to set us free. Specifically, he says, "the slave does not have a permanent place in the household, but the son has a place there forever. So if the son makes you free, you will be free indeed."
The world is filled with people just like you and me: sinful, broken, enslaved, fearful, helpless people who are either so numbed by or immune to their sins, or so overwhelmed by the gravity and the shame of their sinful ways, that they can't imagine being released or freed or forgiven or allowed in to the good graces of their Creator. And there are also those enslaved by their ability to be or to appear flawless, bound by their need for perfection because they can't bear to disappoint their family, their friends, themselves or their score-keeping, sin-counting, judgment-casting, fear-mongering God.
But Jesus Christ – the Son who has a place in the household of God's heaven forever – makes room for us all there: Pharisees and free people; the pimp and the prostitute; the sinner and the saint. Because of this good news and by God's abundant, amazing, all-consuming grace we are invited to be more hopeful than we are helpless and to live like liberated people – sinners, forgiven; not dead, but alive; not bound, but free; not afraid but full of hope. And no matter how far away we think we are from the ugly, scary, shameful ways of the world around us, we have prayers to offer and arms to open and resources to give and good news to share, in Jesus' name, with all those who haven't heard or come to believe any of this, just yet.
(While it's true we're called to leave judgment and forgiveness, redemption and the eternal state of our souls up to the grace of God, there are things we can and should do to free people who are bound, in this world, by the kind of stuff I talked about here. Check out www.purchased.org if you want to learn more or find some ways to help or get involved.)

Silversea keeps its Expeditions in a world class of their own
In early June, somewhere between the English Channel and the Celtic Sea, luxury line Silversea officially celebrated the 10th anniversary of its Silversea Expeditions brand, sailing from London to Dublin aboard the recently converted Silver Cloud with a full complement of trade partners, media, and a handful of the line's most frequent guests.
It was on June 3, 2008, that Silversea debuted its Silver Explorer, the pioneering vessel that set the bar for ultra-luxury adventure cruises. Then-named Prince Albert II, the Silver Explorer was completely gutted to bring her up to Silversea's exacting standards.
Unlike other expedition cruises at the time (which mainly utilized ex-research vessels and working Russian icebreakers), Silver Explorer would feature full suites with butler service, Bulgari toiletries, and Relais & Chateaux-inspired dining — not to mention a full complement of Zodiac rafts and a dedicated expedition team of professionals specializing in fields like marine biology, botany, history, and ornithology.
"For us, today is a huge moment," said Conrad Combrink, Silversea's senior vice-president of Strategic Development, Expeditions and Experiences. "It is 10 years ago today that we christened our first expedition ship … We literally stripped the ship bare and started to create something very unique, and that was Silversea Expeditions.
Silversea's chairman, Manfredi Lefebvre d'Ovidio, said that Silversea Expeditions was borne out of a desire to see the world in an adventurous way, without sacrificing comfort.
"I don't perceive luxury to be an extra bottle of champagne," he said at a conference on board Silver Cloud, speaking to a small group of media. "I perceive luxury as the possibility of achieving unique experiences, in a very organized way and with good support. What we offer is not only a beautiful ship with good food and service, we offer (the ability to visit) destinations with a unique team of experts."
Silversea's expedition fleet now sits at four ships, all of which hold between 100 and 254 guests. That is in addition to five so-called "classic" ships that specialize in more traditional luxury cruises around the world.
While many in attendance were hoping Silversea might announce the conversion of Silver Cloud's sister ship, Silver Wind, into a luxury expedition cruiser, the line has always taken a cautious, measured approach to its expansion. Right now, that expansion is focused on the destination side of things, with Lefebvre, Combrink and their teams planning some truly exceptional voyages for the future.
On the horizon is Silversea's inaugural Northeast Passage cruise. No, I didn't mistype that: the Northeast Passage is one of the rarest voyages around. Only a few lines have ever made the transit, and Silversea will join those ranks next August when Silver Explorer sets out on her 25-day adventure expedition from Nome, Alaska, to Tromsø, Norway. The journey will transit the northernmost reaches of Eastern Russia and Siberia before arriving off the coast of Norway.
Perhaps not surprisingly, this voyage is not cheap. It's also probably going to be wait-listed by the time you read this, but it doesn't hurt asking your favourite agent to look into availability on Voyage 7916 departing Aug. 10, 2019.
While exotic voyages like the Arctic and Antarctic understandably make up some of Silversea Expeditions' most desirable itineraries, don't discount the line's other journeys. The 116-guest Silver Discoverer is going to be operating adventurous expeditions to Sri Lanka, the Seychelles and even Zanzibar this fall. For something truly unique, there's the fascinating 16-day Zanzibar to Durban cruise that departs this coming Nov. 27; sometimes it's nice to take a cruise that requires your friends to Wikipedia every port of call.
One of my favourite Silversea Expeditions was my first, taken in 2012 around the British Isles. Culture and nature are very important to Silversea, and you'd be hard-pressed to do better than Silver Cloud's Dublin to London expedition on May 23, 2019. Silver Cloud doesn't dock in some port like Southampton; instead, she sails right up the Thames and under Tower Bridge, tying up in the heart of central London.
It's an incredible experience, one that Silversea has been tweaking now for a decade.
"In 10 years at Silversea Expeditions, I can't think of anything we wanted to do that we weren't able to accomplish," Combrink said.
Happy cruising.

or so i thought…
the other day michael says to me, "that gray stripe in your hair is so distinctive. it makes you look like someone… i can't quite put my finger on it. but i know it's someone i've seen in movies."
which got me to thinking about who could it possibly be. and i thought maybe cruella de vil, from 101 dalmations.
but knew it couldn't possibly be her, that's way too much gray.
then i came up with lily munster.
i could live with that. i mean she wasn't scary lookin' and she was a good mom and wife. not the worst person in the world to be compared to…

The data consists of annual measurements of standing aboveground plant biomass, annual aboveground net primary productivity and annual soil respiration between 1998 and 2012. Data were collected from seven European shrublands that were subject to the climate manipulations drought and warming. Sites were located in the United Kingdom (UK), the Netherlands (NL), Denmark ( two sites, DK-B and DK-M), Hungary (HU), Spain (SP) and Italy (IT). All field sites consisted of untreated control plots, plots where the plant canopy air is artificially warmed during night time hours, and plots where rainfall is excluded from the plots at least during the plants growing season.
Standing aboveground plant biomass (grams biomass per square metre) was measured in two undisturbed areas within the plots using the pin-point method (UK, DK-M, DK-B), or along a transect (IT, SP, HU, NL). Aboveground net primary productivity was calculated from measurements of standing aboveground plant biomass estimates and litterfall measurements. Soil respiration was measured in pre-installed opaque soil collars bi-weekly, monthly, or in measurement campaigns (SP only).
The datasets provided are the basis for the data analysis presented in Reinsch et al. (2017) Shrubland primary production and soil respiration diverge along European climate gradient. Scientific Reports 7:43952. DOI: 10.1038/srep43952
Publication date: 2017-09-21
This dataset is part of the following
Standing biomass was measured using the non-destructive pin-point method to assess aboveground biomass. Measurements were conducted at the state of peak biomass specific for each site. Litterfall was measured annually using litterfall traps. Litter collected in the traps was dried and the weight was measured. Aboveground biomass productivity was estimated as the difference between the measured standing biomass in year x minus the standing biomass measured the previous year. Soil respiration was measured bi-weekly or monthly, or in campaigns (Spain only). It was measured on permanently installed soil collars in treatment plots.
The Gaussen Index of Aridity (an index that combines information on rainfall and temperature) was calculated using mean annual precipitation, mean annual temperature. The reduction in precipitation and increase in temperature for each site was used to calculate the Gaussen Index for the climate treatments for each site.
Data of standing biomass and soil respiration was provided by the site responsible. Data from all sites were collated into one data file for data analysis. A summary data set was combined with information on the Gaussen Index of Aridity
Data were then exported from these Excel spreadsheet to .csv files for ingestion into the EIDC.

Using a Jailbroken iPhone 4 backup on a new iPhone 4s
- Hey guys I am getting the iPhone 4s later today and I'm wondering if there would be any problems if I tried backing up my iPhone 4 backup to the new iPhone 4s?
My iPhone 4 backup is jailbroken and it is on iOS 5.0.1. Later today when I get the 4s will I be able to easily use the iPhone 4 backup on the 4s?
I don't know much about updating the iOS on jailbroken devices but I heard that you can no longer use a back up that has iOS 5.0.1 anymore since 5.1 is on iTunes already. Is this accurate? Will I not be able to use my iPhone 4 backup on my 4s because of the update yesterday?03-08-2012 12:31 AM
- i believe you should be able to use your backup on your new device. typically moving forward there are no issues, it's moving back there might be problems. not sure how it's going to work with the 4S (A5) but typically you can go back & forth from the new OS and previous OS until Apple stops signing the previous one. which is just a few days, if that
keep in mind, the way i understand it with the 4S (A5), because there currently is no way to save SHSH blobs effectively you cannot restore using 5.0.1 . so this means if something goes wrong with your jailbreak, and you have to restore, you have no choice but to update to the latest OS. which currently and or soon will be 5.1. currently there is no jailbreak for 5.1, Untethered or Tethered
anyone, please correct me if i am missing something or wrong03-08-2012 05:15 AM
- You should be able to use your regular apple backup on any other iDevice. The regular backup includes the contacts, calendars, messages, settings,etc.
Think of the jailbreak as a separate process. It also has a backup method to save your packages. AptBackup on Cydia.
So, yes. You can use your regular backup on the 4S. But, if your 4S isn't jailbroken you can't use AptBackup (given you've backed up your iPhone 4 beforehand using this).
Also, let's just hope your 4S didn't come with 5.1. I'm guessing it is still 5.0.1. in that case, you can still use Absinthe to jailbreak it smoothly.03-08-2012 07:20 PM

From Concept to Production – Robust Algorithms and Function Development
"Control systems design and development of complex algorithms and functions has been our specialty since being founded – and is also reflected in our company name. ITK stands for Ingenieurgesellschaft für Technische Kybernetik (Engineering Company for Technical Cybernetics)."
Software-based functions determine, today more than ever, the innovative strength of an industry. The complexity increases, along with development and maintenance costs, as the number of features in a system grows.
Therefore the development of functional architectures is becoming increasingly crucial: interactions, as well as complex behavioral and networking logic in functions and algorithms, must be recognized in the development phase to prioritize and develop conflict resolution strategies. This is exactly what we bring, in-depth system understanding and domain knowledge to support you, in particular, with architectural concepts, modeling, testing and virtual initial setup.
From controller concept and design, to parameterization and production – control of mechatronic, electrical and electro-hydraulic systems has been ITK's core competency since its founding. Whether it is the analysis and optimization of existing control loops or the development of new production-ready control algorithms – in technical cybernetics, we are at home.
Control systems design, signal and image processing, sensor data fusion and embedded software engineering – the various disciplines of algorithm development are becoming increasingly important – not only as individual disciplines, but even more when they are combined. Advanced features (e.g. advanced driver assistance systems or surgical devices) spread across a variety of system components. Therefore, an understanding of the overall system requires in-depth knowledge and additional expertise in the various disciplines. Benefit from our experience in all of these areas – for over two decades, we have developed and implemented algorithms and controllers for a variety of industries and applications.

Starting your own business can be a good thing especially if you don't want to be an employee. The good news is that it is possible for you to start your own business and be successful. However, before you even spend on a business venture, you will need to make sure that you know the most common mistakes made by businesses.
For one, it is a common mistake of businesses to not study a particular market that they want to get involved in. What they should be looking closely is not only the customers and clients. Businesses should also take a closer look at the gap that competitors failed to address. Is there anything demand that has to be met? In addition to this, it is crucial to evaluate if the market is actually saturated. It is possible that there are already so many players involved in a particular market that it is impossible for a new player to get involved.
And of course, it is important to take a closer look at the possible marketing strategies that work. What makes a good marketing strategy? Do you implement a traditional marketing strategy that involves TV ads? Or maybe, you are simply going to rely on your online marketing approach?

CS&T Staff Writer
Anthony Willoughby, a recent Catholic convert and the Food Services manager at St. John's Hospice in Philadelphia, says he loves his job because it gives him the opportunity to live out his Catholic faith every day.
Willoughby came to St. John's Hospice in 2002 from a background in corporate restaurant management. Although taking a job with the homeless shelter meant a pay cut, he was prepared for the challenge and rewarding work that was ahead.
"There used to be a sister here who mentored me my first year, and she would tell me to see the face of Jesus in everyone that comes through these doors," Willoughby said. "It's so humbling. I think of the Bible verse, 'what you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.'"
With that mindset he realizes that "a meal is not just a meal. A meal is dignity," he said. "It's hard to do anything on an empty stomach. For some of the guys this may be the most substantial meal of their day. Guys come through, we feed them and they really appreciate it. You directly affected someone."
Everyday he serves the 40 residents, men who are being helped to get off the streets, providing them with breakfast, lunch and dinner. That also includes the 12 men in hospice care. In addition to that, he serves anywhere from 300 to 400 homeless men who come off the streets for a warm meal during the hospice's day lunch program. At Christmas time those numbers can go up to 500 when they open their doors for Christmas dinner to men, women and children.
Willoughby also runs the evening coffeehouse at St. John's where they provide coffee, cakes and sandwiches for about 30 men.
It requires a lot of planning to make all those meals, but Willoughby has it down to an art form he calls "organized chaos."
He knows that he can't do any of it alone. He relies on the generosity of people who donate food for the shelter and on the many volunteers and coworkers who are always ready to pitch in – from director Kevin Barr on down, Willoughby said.
When he isn't planning, preparing, making or serving meals, he's coordinating pick up of donations.
"We are very blessed with donations and when we have excess, we share with our sister sites," he said. "I like to think of St. John's as the Cadillac of shelters. We set the standard high. We have a tremendous, close-knit staff. Everybody does what it takes to get the job done."
Before he entered the Church three years ago, Willoughby had not attended his Baptist church for over 20 years. Thanks to his wife he became interested in the Catholic Church.
"I went to St. Barnabas to see what this Mass thing was. I used to sit in the back pew, but now I sit in the first or second pew with my wife and daughter," he said.
The pastor, Father John F. Babowitch, didn't waste any time in putting him into service after he was received into the Church. He invited Willoughby to be part of the parish council. Then he became a lector and most recently an extraordinary minister of holy Communion. He also helps the Sisters, Servants of Immaculate Heart of Mary with R.C.I.A. at the parish.
"It is an incredible journey and I've learned so much," Willoughby said. "Going to Mass keeps me really grounded in times when things get bumpy here, and it can get bumpy. I'm having the time of my life right now and that's important."

SEO is Not an Expense But an Investment! Check How?Posted on Categories Blog, SEO
We've heard lots of owners say this. "My business doesn't need SEO" Sure, it's true that you can do this without SEO. However, only if you're:
1) The most authoritative site in your industry OR
2) The most popular brand in your niche
Are you one of these two?
Unless you don't belong to any one of the above two statements, you do need SEO for your website.
People have so many misconceptions about SEO and one of the biggest ones is that not every company needs it.
Let's check:
SEO is not a cost but an investment!
Once business owners truly understand this statement their opinion about SEO will change entirely. It should be considered an INVESTMENT with a high return. For any commercial keyword you're not ranking on page 1 you're literally leaving money on the table.
It's getting even worse. This is money that your competition is STEALING FROM YOU.

|Welcome to my online comics site. It's pretty small right now, but I'm hoping it'll grow over time. These aren't daily comics or even weekly comics though, each one is a seperate story and they get done when they get done. Sorry.

|Based on a game of Nobilis, this comic assumes at least a passing knowledge of the game. The comic starts at the top and reads up and down (i.e. you need to scroll down to read it).
|Also based on a game of Nobilis, this comic is enjoyable without any inside knowledge. It describes the Norse myth of Ratatosk, the squirrel tale-bearer. It's designed for a 1024x762 screen resolution and will be a bit hard to read on anything smaller.

1. What is the name of the book and when was it published?
Married by Monday and I released the E-Book May 25th 2012. The print version was released the first week in June 2012.
2. What's the book's first line?
Getting married every single year was becoming a pain in the ass. Especially for the maid of honor.
3. What's the book about? Give us the "pitch".
Carter Billings is making his bid for the Governor's seat in the state of California and needs to settle down and become a family man. The woman he adores however, isn't interested.
Eliza Havens finds it much easier to drive Carter away than to give into desire. Her secrets are life threatening and the last thing she wants is to endanger the man she's growing to love.
4. What inspired you to write the book? A particular person? An event?
The success of Wife by Wednesday mandated that I write more books in this series. I love reading series romance and visiting characters from other books I fell in love with. Most of my fans know I can't let my characters go without a fight. So when titles of future books started swimming inside my head I ran with them and began Carter and Eliza's journey to happiness. *sigh*
5. What's the most distinctive thing about the main character? Who-real or fictional-would you say the character reminds you of?
Oh, that's hard. I think for Eliza I'd say it's her ability to blend in when she wants to and stand out when she doesn't. She's like an undercover spy that way. Something out of a 007 movie.
6. What's the main reason someone should really read this book?
If they love romance and want to escape into the pages for a few hours then pick up Married by Monday. This isn't a typical marriage of convenience story. And I think my fans and readers of Wife by Wednesday will be pleasantly surprised at how this story unfolds. And the depth of the characters.

They can also print an 8 week 1-page summary of their scheduled hours and time off. CoWeekly allows 2 different weekly setup schemes, each with separate weekday and weekend shift schedules. Weekday and weekend schedules are set by the administrator and can contain up to 5 shifts per day. The Administrator chooses which scheme is used for each of the 8 week schedules. The weekly schedules can be easily printed, copied, moved, cleared, shuffled, and backed-up. Several reports of employee weekly hours and gross pay are also available to the Administrator. Any day can be selected to easily show which employees are scheduled for that day.

I have been reading a lot about baking soda and its positive effects on candida infections… Some are drinking a spoon of bicarbonate per day to regulate the acidity of their gut… And they say its very efficient, even in kicking off candida…
Has anyone tried?
They say we should drink to avoid candida from returning

I used it for some time but I noted it makes your stomach acid even more alkaline, but you want the opposite, because your stomach acid will probably already have too little stomach acid.
But I found out it is really good to use as a mouthwash. When I drink from a glass I always see a smeary residue on the glass where my lips touched it, I think that may be Candida, though I don't have a white coating on my tongue.
I think it's so hard to fight Candida because it can hide in 3 places, so you have to clean all 3 places at the same time: Intestines, mouth and sinuses.
So if you cleaned your intestines you just swallow your saliva and it's back in the intestines.
If you cleaned your mouth it will get back into the mouth over the sinuses. If you cleaned your mouth and your sinuses it can come back over reflux. And so on.
I'm gonna try this now: Viracin (tannins) for the intestines, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) for the mouth and Xlear nasal spray (contains xylitol, saline and grapefruit seed extract).
I also think PET (patulous eustachian tube) is a symptom of systemic Candida.October 11, 2016 at 2:07 pm #173248

I noted when I do the mouthwash with sodium bicarbonate, my gums start to bleed after some days while toothbrushing.
I don't know if it is a good or bad sign.
I remember some time ago when I used the toothpaste Parodontax Classic (the one without fluoride) I got the same gum bleeding. Maybe I should switch back to this toothpaste and look if the bleeding goes away if I just take it long enough. Probably it's just healing the places where the Candida has been in the gums.
Funny thing is that it is a toothpaste against gum bleeding. I found a German dissertation where it says it is the strongest inhibitor of Candida Albicans (page 31):
