Infuse your holiday traditions with a touch of sweetness
As the holidays approach, you're probably starting to think about ways to make the season a little bit sweeter for friends and family. After all, it's the perfect time of year to indulge your sweet tooth.
Here are some fun, festive and tasty ideas to sweeten your holiday traditions and make them unforgettable.
Candy bar
Dedicate a section of your holiday party buffet to sweet treats, chocolates, candy and hot chocolate. Don't forget to have small goodie bags available so guests can take some of the sweetness home with them.
Stocking stuffers
While you will most likely purchase personalized gifts for each member of your family, you can also amp up their stockings with candy full of holiday cheer.
Hostess Gifts
You will likely be attending many gatherings and parties this holiday season. Make sure you don't arrive empty-handed. A box of chocolates in a keepsake holiday-themed tin makes for a convenient and wonderful host or hostess gift. In fact, having several on hand in your home is a great idea for easy gift-giving all season long, especially for last-minute gifts when you realize you've forgotten something for the mailman, your babysitter or your child's teacher.
Goodies for Santa
A favorite holiday tradition for many is leaving something sweet for Santa. This year, make Santa's night by leaving him something extra yummy.
With a few sweet, festive touches to your holiday traditions, you can make this holiday season one to remember. (StatePoint)

Hey friends, it's Wednesday and I'm linking up with Lindsey at The Pleated Poppy for some fashion inspiration. You've seen all the pieces of this outfit before–except for maybe the belt {which I found on sale at J Crew}. The aqua belt keeps the outfit from being too 'americana'. I'm not going to a 4th of July picnic–just to the workshop.
Striped tee, Banana Republic. Red skinny jeans, Target. Aqua belt, J Crew. Wedges, Dana Buchman for Kohls. Denim Jacket, Gap. Sneak peek of a necklace soon to be in our shop–more on that soon!
Wanna know a secret? I get dressed in the morning, think, "This a fun outfit, I'll take a few pics." Then I edit the photos, upload them to my blog and that's when the waves of insecurity start to wash over me. "This is the lamest outfit" I think. Or "my hips looks huge." Or "my hair is ridiculous." And then I get a grip, remind myself not to take it too seriously and I share it anyway. Fashion is fun, but it's certainly not the most important thing, is it?
Here's to finding a little bit of inspiration in the small things.

StarDrive sets a new benchmark for the '4X Space Strategy' genre. It takes a modular approach to ship design, allowing the player to create custom ships where the composition and placement of ship modules really matters to the performance of a ship..

Hide behind a friendly capital ship's shields; warp into and out of the fray, launch fighters, lay mines, and so much more.
Starting with a single planet and a small number of space-worthy vessels, you must venture forth into the galaxy, conquer new worlds, build new colonies and defend your very existence against those who would take what is yours. How you play is your decision. Use diplomacy or brute force. Trade, spy and research your way to galactic domination. Make friends, or create mortal enemies…
Real time gameplay with a seamless zoom from a grand strategic view to close-up action view
Choose from 8 beautifully rendered alien races or design your own to lead into the stars; interact, negotiate and forge allegiances on your way to victory

Research and unlock an array of new technologies to improve your military and industrial technology

So I'm heading off to do a season in Morzine in just under two weeks. You would have thought that going from a pretty stressful job in PR to organising myself for a season would be easy. It's not that it's difficult; it's just that there is so much to think of. Firstly, unless you have a little money stashed away (and let's face it no-one in London has!) you need to sort yourself a job. So I've done that and have decided to go the chalet assistant route (time during the day on the slopes, plus food, accommodation and a lift pass are all sorted for you). I really didn't want to go with a larger company, mainly because you don't know which resort you will be sent to, so after a few interviews I decided on a mid-sized chalet run by a lovely English couple based 10 minutes from town.
Secondly, I'm attempting to organise all of my stuff, now I'm the sort of person that hoards everything so my bulging wardrobe will have to be majorly streamlined in order to fit into my new Dakine board bag (which is so big I could actually sleep in it! It's going to cost a fortune to get on the plane!) The chalet, like most do, have organised my plane ticket out and will be picking me up the other end, so all I need to do really is turn up on time!
Insurance is essential, so even though it's left a hole in my bank account at least I know I'm covered if anything were to go wrong. I've luckily managed to accumulate most of my equipment over a few years so I don't need to spend too much money on that side of things, plus waiting till you get to the resort is a good idea as pro's will be selling off their old items.
Little things like making sure I visited the dentist before leaving and getting prescriptions sorted could of been easily forgotten, plus ensuring I have things like an E111 and my driving license in order (I'll be doing airport pick ups, driving in the snow scares the life out of me!) are all essential but niggly bits!
So other than rounding off things before leaving work and packing my bag I am all sorted! Yay, snow here we come!

Fourth of July might be the event highest on everyone's minds this week, but rather than hit you with a silly list of all-too-obvious places to watch the fireworks, we'll just ignore all the red, white and blue in favor of an under-the-radar soiree.
The Library Shop is putting together the third Booked for the Evening event from 7 to 10 p.m. on Thursday, July 2. Happening on the ninth floor of the San Diego Central Library (330 Park Blvd.) in the East Village, the night includes food, cocktails, art and secret tours of the awe-inspiring library building (seriously, you have to search out one of the library staffers at the event and bug them to give you the tour).
"Almost every time people come to this, a lot of them have never been down to the new library before," says Erin Zlotnik of The Library Shop, the cute store at the entrance to the library and the eventís organizing entity. "So, it's a great excuse for people to come explore."
The $30 tickets buy one cocktail and plenty of appetizers from The Vetted Table, the catering company run by the MIHO Gastrotruck founders. There'll also be live music by DJ Man Cat, one of the regulars at the new University Heights hotspot, Park and Rec, plus free rein of the recently opened "The Art of Comic-Con" exhibition at the library's Art Gallery. The show features work by more than 60 comic artists, and traces 45 years of Comic-Con's history.
Adding to the Comic-Con theme will be an interactive comic-art project led by Alonso Nunez of Little Fish Comic Book Studio and fresh comic-inspired floral arrangements by Native Poppy. Be sure not to overlook the rare-book room on the ninth floor, which has a collection of the world's smallest books and other cool finds.
"There's also a collection of fore-edge books in there," Zlotnik says. "Books where artists painted on the edges of the pages."
There's a serious lack of color—skin color that is—in mainstream comic books, including the characters and the artists who create them. From 2 to 11 p.m. on Friday, July 3, Barrio Logan's Border X Brewing (2181 Logan Ave.) will tip the diversity scales a tiny bit with Chicano-Con, a comic-art exhibition featuring Latino and Latina superheroes. More than a dozen artists including Mario Chacon, Rosemary Hernandez and Gmonik will unveil depictions of their favorite comic heroes, as well as a few of their own making. Patrons can test out their Comic-Con wares by dressing in cosplay attire each day of the event, which continues on Saturday, July 4, Friday, July 10, and Saturday, July 11. Flash your Comic-Con badge to get a free taster, and bring the kids.
Comedian Brad Williams recently released Fun Size on Showtime, which is his first hour-long cable comedy special, though he's been in the business for a dozen years. He's made appearances on late night shows, along with Mind of Mencia and Animal Planet's Pit Boss. He also hosts the "About Last Night" podcast, but regardless of his resume, his standup material speaks for itself. And as you might have guessed from the title Fun Size, a lot of his comedy deals with being a little person. (There's also a routine about a sex video game.) It's definitely not all PC, but it passes a more important test: It's funny. Brad Williams performs Thursday, July 2, at The Observatory North Park (2891 University Ave.). Tickets start at $20. Ages 18 and up.

Checking in from Albany, N.Y.
Albany, N.Y. — DU arrived here Wednesday afternoon. I finally got to town this morning, after being stuck in Chicago overnight. No worries. I'm writing from the Times Union Center, host of the NCAA Tournament East Regional, and the first team to practice today, RIT, is doing so right now. I haven't missed anything.
The top-seeded Pios, who play fourth-seeded RIT on Friday, will hit the ice in about 30 minutes. I'll report back after they skate.
For now, let's talk about the Tigers, regular-season and playoff champions of the Atlantic Hockey Association. After watching practice, I noticed this team is a typical Air Force-like squad. Decent talent, not much size, and given their record and accomplishments, they undoubtedly will be tough opponent on an NHL-size rink. This is a small sheet, used regularly by the Albany River Rats, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Carolina Hurricanes.
RIT is on a 10-game winning streak, which most people would consider a big deal. However, when I look back on DU's 10-game winning streak that ran from Jan. 29 to Feb. 27, I think back on how it ended, and where the Pios are right now. It ended March 5 at home against CC, in what at the time was DU's biggest game of the season. The Pios win that game and they parade around Magness Arena with the Gold Pan and the MacNaughton Cup. Instead, they're perhaps too confident (that would be overconfident), too expectant to just show up and play great, and they lose against a team that flat-out digs deeper. My point: I think DU — which is 3-3 in its last six games — is as hungry as it has been all season. I expect the Pios to return to basic blue-collar preparation principles and come out flying Friday. Not saying they'll win, just sayin' they'll play with pride.
My final 10-game winning streak comparison is this: RIT's consecutive wins came against Army (two), Canisius (three), Air Force (two), UConn (two) and Sacred Heart. Two of those wins were in overtime at home against AFA and UConn. Only the Army games were outside Rochester.
DU's 10 consecutive wins came over North Dakota (two), Mercyhurst, Air Force, Minnesota (two), Michigan Tech (two) and Minnesota State (two). Five of the 10 were on the road, including OT wins at AFA and MSU.

As anyone who has taken vector calculus (read: most of you) knows, if a vector field is conservative, then it is the gradient of a potential function. In other words, if the vector field is two dimensional, the potential function is a surface and as such some things become really nice, like the line integral of a closed curve being zero. However, there are some very simple vector fields that are not conservative, which leads me to wonder what the corresponding surface would look like and in particular what characteristics of the surface disallow the nice formulations. For instance, the surface corresponding to the vector field $F = y \hat{i} - x \hat{j}$ is continuous but periodic, spiraling along the z-axis. I envision it to look kinda like this:
My question is thus: do all non-conservative vector fields (in 2-space) have corresponding surfaces that are periodic or discontinuous? If not, what other cases are there?

England's win over Scotland could determine future of two coaches
If Southgate is handed a contract, rather than returning to the under-21s team, he might not be facing Strachan in the opposite dugout when England travels to Scotland in June.
Published: 12th November 2016 08:10 AM | Last Updated: 12th November 2016 08:10 AM | A+A A-
LONDON: Gareth Southgate edged closer to being appointed England's permanent manager with a victory that weakened Gordon Strachan's grip on the Scotland job.
A trio of headers from Daniel Sturridge, Adam Lallana and Gary Cahill ensured a 3-0 victory on Friday that appeared far more convincing on the scoreboard than the actual performance by England in the 113th meeting of international football's oldest rivals.
It gave Southgate seven points from the three competitive matches of his interim spell in charge of England following Sam Allardyce's abrupt departure after one match in charge over unguarded comments to undercover reporters.
Whether Southgate is handed the job permanently will be determined after England hosts Spain in a friendly on Tuesday. While the displays under Southgate have lacked the dynamism expected by fans of a team of Premier League stars, they weren't any better in recent years either. England was embarrassed at the European Championship in June, with Roy Hodgson quitting after a last-16 loss to Iceland.
"What I'm really pleased about is that I was given the task of picking the job up in a very difficult situation for everybody and I feel like we've prepared the team really well," Southgate said. "The rest is out of my hands. I've loved it. I've really enjoyed the role. I've enjoyed the responsibility. I've enjoyed the challenge of every part of it."
If Southgate is handed a contract, rather than returning to the under-21s team, he might not be facing Strachan in the opposite dugout when England travels to Scotland in June.
The spirited Scots did make the hosts uncomfortable at times at Wembley Stadium but had nothing to show for it. Strachan's side slumped to fifth place, six points behind unbeaten England, and the manager will face further scrutiny over his future as Scotland's hopes of making its first tournament since the 1998 World Cup fade.
Strachan said he was only thinking about the impact of the "cruel" result of his players,
"If anyone thinks at this moment in time I'm thinking about myself you are wrong," Strachan told reporters.
"Probably when I'm just about to die, I'll think, 'How did you get on Gordon?' Not a bad life," Strachan added. "At the moment in time ... it's nothing to do with me."
Slovenia is second after Benjamin Verbic clinched a 1-0 at bottom-placed Malta. Slovakia is third after beating Lithuania 4-0 through Adam Nemec's header before strikes from Juraj Kucka, Martin Skrtel and Marek Hamsik. Only the group winners automatically qualify for the 2018 finals in Russia.
Unsurprisingly, the anthems were sung against a chorus of boos from rival fans — 144 years after this derby was first played.
But the cross-border rivals were united in the buildup to the game by a two-week public spat with FIFA over their desire to mark Armistice Day by wearing poppies which commemorate British Commonwealth forces who have died on duty since World War I.
England and Scotland are set to be fined by FIFA for breaching rules banning political, religious, personal or commercial messages on official uniforms and equipment.
After a pre-match minute of silence, the Scots pressed with purpose from kickoff but they couldn't keep it up and fell behind in the 24th minute.
Raheem Sterling's initial shot deflected to the right flank and Kyle Walker returned the ball into the penalty area where an unmarked Sturridge angled a low header past goalkeeper Craig Gordon. It was a rare bright moment for the Liverpool striker, who has dropped in the pecking order at Anfield and has scored no goals in the league this season.
"It wasn't as comfortable as we would have liked," Lallana said. "We started the game very sloppily. We said a few things to each other at halftime and the manager did."
Scotland missed opportunities to equalize at the start of the second half and England punished the visitors after five minutes with Lallana latching onto Rose's cross with a header. Cahill completed a miserable trip south of the border for Scotland in the 61st minute when he was left unmarked to connect with captain Wayne Rooney's corner.
"I don't know if we can work any harder than we do," Strachan said.
Although the game largely passed off peacefully, objects were thrown onto the field in north London in the second half, with England goalkeeper Joe Hart having to clear them.

Photo Album Series 5 (Page 26)
Merry Christmas 1995! . . .
On this page, we see Jordan and Austin enjoying Christmas 1995. They were opening presents and being very cute.
My personal camera took OK pictures...but left most of my subjects with 'red eye' syndrome. (Ha Ha) Regardless, I ALWAYS made doubles or triple copies of my photos being processed at Walmart. They always offered doubles and triples to which I would order every time, so that I could send one copy to family and keep the other two at home. One in a box and one for my album I would make.
(Thank goodness I did this, because when it came to my divorce, years later, Bernd got all the photos in boxes that were the doubles. We split ALL photos! He got half, I got half.
* Unfortunately we were unable to split the videos tapes, so he took MOST of them and I was lucky to find a one or two in the storage unit we had, when Bernd had kept almost EVERYTHING we owned, when we split up. I had forgotten about videos)
I am thankful that I am able to at least share these few photos I have, here with you, my family and friends.
I am just sad that I do NOT have my video tapes of my children. We took LOTS of them over the years....but I don't ever get to see them. (Maybe one day, my children will finally share some??)
....and A Happy New Year!!
Alexanders Progress
Dear Jordan, Austin, Jacob, and Andrew,
I am sure that from time to time, you wonder about your brother's progress.
If not now, then maybe one day in the future you would like to finally remember him and come to this Blog and read about him, anyway.
Either way, here he is.
This year, 2016 your brother Alex is doing very well.
**He is happy, healthy, in his Senior year of High School, and taking some nice College classes along with his Senior electives. (like Emergency Medical Responder)
He has applied to one of the BEST Medical Schools in the Nation and is sure to get a Scholarship to this awesome school.
He has one of the best jobs in our County, for a young person!
He is a server, at the most expensive restaurant, in the largest city in our area.
He does very well there. (so blessed)
Alex plans on being a Doctor of sorts. His plan is to be an Orthopedic Surgeon, but he says that if things don't go as planned, he will be a Doctor of some sort, regardless of what degree. He loves the Medical field, just like his mother.
He is such a 'people person' that I am sure he will do very well, in whatever medical field he goes into.
He is tall (5' 11" right now and still growing and maybe will be 6ft, like his Grandpa Hatch?) and of a normal weight...just like his brother Jordan. They both have the same body types. He is handsome, as well. His face looks very much like Andrews, though. They could be twins. ☺☺
He loves, loves, loves his pet cat, "Kitty". He is our Orange kitten (who is around 6 months old).
Alex is a tremendous help, with difficult tasks, for his elderly grandfather, Grandpa Hatch, and also for his step-dad, who is getting older. (Whom Alex loves both of them very much)
We will miss all of his help, when he is off in College soon.
I believe the State of Utah is wanting compensation of thousands of dollars from Bernd for past child support.
Also, I had paid Bernd Holler thousands and thousands of dollars for the child support of Alexander from 5 years old to 18 years old, back in 2004, which over the years he did NOT give back any of this to us, or Gramps, for raising his son and financial responsibility, of Alex.
Yes, he owes us thousands and thousands of dollars in child support.
We have taken a huge monetary loss, without Bernds help with raising Alex. We have been contemplating to turn in the proper paperwork and give the State of Utah license to pursue for past child support.
Alex is the light of our lives and we tell him often of how grateful we are to have him in our lives. The whole town and most of the County here knows and loves Alex! Yes, you heard right. Almost EVERYONE around this County knows Alex and loves him. (especially since all summer while he worked as a cashier at Wal-mart, he got to know most of everyone in Richfield and the surrounding areas)
We can't go anywhere these days without people stopping to talk to Alex...even strangers! He is so friendly and well loved.
Anyway, he is buying a car right now (and I think he has a girlfriend? He won't tell me...hehe) and he is always driving off somewhere.
He is really enjoying his Senior year and is excited with his BIG plans for the future.
Please, sons, drop him a line, if you can. (he is easily found on FB) He is convinced that you do not like or love him, since your dad Bernd has not allow any of you to contact him over the past 10 years.
If you do reach out to him this year, realize as a minor, he tells me of your conversations, because of his great respect and love for his mother, your mother... and how he knows that this is the right thing to do.
However, if your relationship is just friendly and non-legal or threatening to Alex's happiness (and even your happiness) he would be happy to hear from you.
With that said, he does not appreciate when you bash or disrespect me, (your mother) in any way....just like you would not appreciate him verbally bashing any of your loved ones...OK? (so he says to me)
Just keep your conversations friendly, trustworthy, and respectful with Alex, and he will do the same for you. That can't be too hard.
I pray that you boys, my deeply loved sons, will always be best of friends, with great respect and love for each other...and remember, that includes Alexander, your youngest brother too.
We have always prayed that you would have a respectful, open communication with us and especially with your brother... and are sad that others would not allow this for you and for him, over many years. 😢
We are extremely proud of Alex..... and for the exceptional young man he has become and is becoming...
(and also proud of many of you , for the good you are accomplishing)
... and for the growth all of you have reached thus far,
however there is still much more maturity you must reach....and we pray that you will continue to grow in faith, hope, understanding, truth, light, and most importantly 'respect' of others, and of yourselves.
Love and blessing, to all of you this day, and for always,
♥ Mom (Alex too)
Good thoughts...
I do this with Alex every night....only wish my other boys could be here...so I could do the same for them ♥
October 13th, 2016
Jacob....its me, mom.
I know we are not connected, but I have no where else to leave you these private messages...and HOPE that someday you will get them. So here is one that you might be interested in.......
Last night (this early morning actually) Aug. 9th 2016, I had an incredible dream with my Jacob, myself and a tiny bit of Alex somewhere in the mix. My Jacob was 9 years old most of this dream, but I did see him a bit as a young man too.....
....in this dream, I somehow found Jacob and we talked and talked and communicated about his life and the about the time we were separated at his young age of 9. He showed me (in this dream) all his pain, anguish, hopes, fears and abandonment issues that he went through when I was no longer in his life....I FELT THEM....then he shared the fact that he had thought of running away from his fathers home during those years...to come find me...when he was 9. He showed me his pain he felt at being (what he thought and felt) abandoned by me and how sad he was that I could do this to him. I felt and understood every bit of this.... I cried and cried deeply in this dream...
...then I saw bits and pieces of him as a young man....places he went...people he knew...girls that were in love with him...people who had tried to deceive him...some of his dark days.
...I explained many things to Jacob in this dream...of how I NEVER meant to abandon him...and how I understood his pain and felt for him...I tried to help him understand this...but he couldn't hear me...
...then in the end, I found myself surrounding him....my arms around the front of him....like I was a blanket that had him cradled, as my 9 year old, in my lap....my whole body around him from his back....and I CRIED and PRAYED from the depths of my Heart and Soul...and I told God as I held you tight.... " "Please!, I NEVER want to leave this precious child...my Jacob...ever again...please don't let this happen ever again...PLEASE!"...
...then I woke up from the dream. (it was about 6:30am) And I was sad...and I understood clearly the PAIN you, Jacob, lived through...how painful my children's lives were....how confusing they were....how lonely they were....how abandoned they felt....how they did not understand WHY this had happened to them...to you Jacob...and I cried.
...so Jacob...I am here today....writing you this...minutes after I had this incredibly insightful dream....begging you for forgiveness...and letting you know that 'although it appeared that I had let you go, and abandoned you...I NEVER did...my heart and soul have prayed and ached for you every single day of YOUR LIFE away from me'. I have tried to reach out to you...but am unable to...mostly because I can NOT find you. IF EVER, you would like to reconnect....I would hope that someday you will finally see how much I did and DO LOVE you...beyond your wildest imagination...and how YOU are my World , my Heart, and my Soul and that I WANT YOU IN MY LIFE...always have...always will.....
....I LOVE and MISS you like there is NO time and space....
Love, Mom
My door, heart, and home are ALWAYS open to you and your loved ones....WHEREVER ~ WHENEVER!! No Strings Attached!!!
~~ Please do not be afraid or angry with me....and if you are...how can I NOT understand...
♥ ♥ ♥
(This love and thoughts apply to all my children - Austin, Jordan, Andrew AND Alex)
WHO is turning 24 years old?
Happy Birthday, dearest son! Autumn is my favorite season, so your birthday is a special one to my heart, and for other reasons too ♥
Let me tell you a story, one that has been told before, but nevertheless, one that I will tell again and again, until its value and splendor reaches your inner soul.
It was 25 years ago, during a warm, sunny, happy Summer in Mission Viejo, California that someone unexpectedly came to visit me.
It was the spirit of a little boy.
I can see and feel it in my heart and mind, like it was yesterday. There I sat in my upstairs master bedroom bathroom, getting ready for what would be a fun day ahead, with my cute, first child, and 2 year old toddler, in our new, upscale home.
Instantly, out of nowhere, I felt a small boys Spirit right in front of me, on my right side, next to the glass shower door. The thoughts instantly came to me that it was time for my first born child to have a sibling. Who? That 'someone' next to me, wanted to join our family. I felt him....I could see him in my mind's eye. He was REAL!
Being so young, I couldn't describe what had just happened to me, until years later when I could look back on it, however I instantly knew it was time for a new person to be born into our family and I joyously and obediently moved forward with taking steps to bring this desire about.
So, soon after this Spiritual experience, that same day, when my husband came into our master bedroom I had a feeling of attraction, for him, sweep over me, like never before. I had always 'liked' my husband, and found him somewhat good looking, but I was never passionately attracted to him, so this was a strange, new, and unexpected feeling sweeping over me.
I immediately acted upon this new feeling being placed in my heart, with real genuine passion, and unexpected desire, and approached my husband and began to kiss him, with the intent to become intimate with him.
He had ALWAYS been 'all over me', phyically, ever since we had met, so I was sure he would be more than receptive to 'get it on' with me. Of course, this actually was the first time this passion was being initiated by me, and even I was surprised at my NEW feelings of attraction. WHERE had they come from? How would he react? I was sure he would be receptive.
Boy, was I quickly rejected!
My husbands immediate reaction was one of surprise. He gave me a weird look of "what's this about?" and instantly told me 'he wasn't interested'.
My heart sank! I felt incredible, real deep, rejection!!
I instantly closed down my heart, and knew I would NEVER try something like that again! EVER!! I was SO very hurt!
I had just been following my heart, and THIS was what I got??
So, I tried to shake it off, and later (casually and kindly) approached my husband with the idea of having another child? What did he think? How did he feel about this?
He was instantly against it!! He had NO interest in this idea!
But, our son needed a brother? Didn't he?
He didn't agree. He told me that baby Austin had overwhelmed him and that IF he ever agreed to another child, it would be YEARS from then.
It Didn't matter what I said, he was adamantly against it!! He wouldn't budge.
(I thought, 'HOW cruel'. When I married him, I knew he was an only child and very selfish and so I had been fine being the main caregiver of baby Austin, and of any children we were going to end up having. I did MOST of the work. I wasn't asking for myself. I just 'KNEW' it was time!)
Over the next few days, as I sadly pondered my plight, the Holy Ghost reminded me of what I had been taught all my life, that the Power of Prayer could accomplish ANYTHING!
What did I have to lose?
I had already been saying my prayers morning and night anyway. So, in private, without my husband knowing, over the next few months, I pleaded in prayer, with the heavens, to 'soften my husband's heart' to favor me with a child. To grant me heavens desires.... of adding a new sibling to our small family.
He knew nothing of my actions or pleadings! I said nothing.
Then about two months later, out of the blue, my husband says to me, "You know what?, I guess we could start 'trying' to have a new child".
I was in shock! My prayers had been answered, and I instantly had gained a testimony of the 'Power of Prayer'!
So, we began 'trying' to create a new child for our family. I was somewhat disappointed month after month that it was not happening. Had we missed our window of opportunity? WHY was I not getting pregnant??
Sure enough, right after the Holidays, I became pregnant with you, son, and I was super excited!!! Your due date was for the end of Sept. (finally)
I had a few complications with your pregnancy, however, two weeks late, you finally arrived.... and by miracles, prayers, and the power of the Priesthood of God, you and I both survived a rocky pregnancy, dangerous delivery and miraculous birth!
You truly were and are a miracle made by Heaven!
You must be someone VERY important to the Heavens! (??)
All I know, is that while you grew up, you sure had LOTS of genuine LOVE for me, your mom. You would write me the most special 'love' notes, all the time, while you were growing up.
You are quick to anger (little bit of a temper) ...but also quick to forgive... and move on.
I will miss you this 24th birthday....as always, just like I have for the past 13 birthdays ....since the day you walked out my door, and I have missed so much of your life.
My prayers these days are for your happiness, success, real Joy...and most importantly for your 'Spiritual Safety'.
In a world where it is so easy to lose ones soul, I pray that you never do.
Remember WHO you truly are,
WHERE you came from, and
WHO truly loves you....for real.
How ever late you are, you have not traveled beyond true love....
Have a special birthday, on your autumn day....this day of when you were physically born, with those you love and those who love you!
Blessings and Love sent your way, on this day, through this avenue here and through the one YOU taught me about and came through,
♥ Mom
Happy 83rd Birthday Grandpa Hatch
Grandpa Hatch turned 83 years young today. He was born in 1933.
He is doing very well. He has a walker for days when his back hurts. Other than that, he is getting around great and still swims every day. He just renewed his driver's license for another 5 years.
He still cooks a storm away in his kitchen and it usually is a big mess for me to clean up from time to time. He has more food than what he knows what to do with. No shortage at Gramps house. (Just make sure it's not growing legs to walk away....hehehe) If I am out of something...I just go to his house for it. He's loaded! (with goodies, that is)
We sang "Happy Birthday ♪ ♫" to him, and brought him a Red Velvet cake to eat, birthday balloons, (don't let Alex get a hold of these), and Pumpkin Eggnog to drink.
We had a nice evening with my Pops!
Photo Album Series 5 (Page 25)
On this page, it is still October 1995. We see another picture of Jordan, Austin and baby Jacob sitting on our front porch in Manti, Utah on our wicker chair. 3 beautiful boys. I was so proud.
Next to this, you see a picture of a little girl named 'Lisa'. When we had gone to Germany in 1992 we had visited and stayed with Oma's cousin in Germany. Her daughter, Carolin, had just gotten married. A few years later Carolin and her husband had a baby girl and decided to name her 'Lisa' (after me, they say) since they liked this name so much. This is a picture of their little girl 'Lisa' which was taken while they happen to come to California (USA) for the first time. You can see that they stayed with Oma and Opa in their home in Ojai CA. (You can see Bernds graduation photo in the background) We had come to visit them also while they were there.
Above, you see family photos taken in Utah, up Stevens Canyon at our new Cabin being built. We would stay in Grandpa Hatch's cabin, while we would work on our 5000 sq foot cabin. This time we invited our good friends, The Wrights (Peter, Torrie and their kids Andrew and McCall) up to this wilderness to stay with us for some fun. The fall colors were SO spectacular that we just had to take family photos. Its hard to pick up the vibrancy of these amazing fall colors, with the old camera, but trust me, the colors were much brighter and more dazzling, than what you see here.
Want Goosebumps?
Watch them, "Disturbed", sing this old classic....
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence
Elections, Hope and Freedom
The Presidential Elections are right around the corner.
No matter WHO you vote for......Please, take these intelligent and WISE words, from my previous neighbor and former Supreme Court Justice Judge (background) , into mind and consideration BEFORE you vote....
Watch or read Elder Oaks's entire address
OR .... If you have fast internet, I've attached another copy of this video here.

Jump down to Electric Aggregation information
Natural Gas Aggregation Program
The City of Canton has established a low fixed rate of $3.183/Mcf for the second year of its two-year term with Constellation Energy Services "Constellation." The natural gas rate is for members of the City's aggregation program during the months of April 2019 (May billing cycle) to March 2020 (April billing cycle). The program leverages the combined buying power of Canton homeowners to deliver lower cost natural gas.
Residents currently not participating in the program may call Constellation's toll free number 1-844-467-4303, to inquire about seeking enrollment. Fixed prices will provide predictability in cost of gas for individuals through the warmer months. Residents and businesses currently in the Constellation program do not need to do anything and will automatically receive this rate.
Fixed Gas Price - Current Period
(April 2019 through March 2020 [April 2020 bill cycle])
$3.183 per Mcf
Supplier: Constellation - 1-844-467-4303
For additional information please visit Constellation's website at http://www.constellation.com/oh-canton.
Natural Gas Governmental Aggregation Programs Frequently Asked Questions
Canton (March 2019 Update)
Supplier: Constellation 1-844-467-4303
Who is the natural gas supplier for the City's program?
Constellation won a competitive proposal process and was selected to serve our community's program. The program will run through the April 2020 bill cycle. Constellation is certified by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, and currently supplies customers and governmental aggregation programs across Ohio.
What is my price for gas?
A low fixed rate of $3.183/Mcf will take effect for gas flow April 2019 through March 2020. This rate compares very favorably to offers residents can find on their own and unlike many offers, our program has no penalty if you decide to leave early.
What are Governmental Natural Gas Aggregation Programs?
Governmental Aggregations allow an entire community, or groups of communities, to join together to form one large buying group. Once voters authorize an aggregation, elected officials are then permitted to shop for natural gas on behalf of their residents and small businesses.
What are the benefits of Gas Aggregation?
As a large buying group, residents participating in an Aggregation have more buying power. The aggregation is in a better position to negotiate favorable pricing and supply terms than what could ordinarily be achieved by any one individual resident.
What are the different types of Aggregations?
In Ohio there are two types of Aggregations. A community may conduct an "Opt-Out" program or an "Opt-In" program. With Opt-Out programs, each eligible resident is automatically enrolled in the program unless they notify the supplier that they DO NOT wish to participate. With Opt-In programs, each resident must notify the supplier to actively enroll in the program. Opt-Out Aggregations are the most common types of aggregation programs because they result in higher participation that usually results in lower rates.
What does a community need to do to become an Aggregator?
For starters, a community must obtain the approval of voters to form a Natural Gas Aggregation Program. Community leaders are then permitted to proceed through a series of steps to become certified by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio as a Governmental Natural Gas Aggregator.
What are the key steps in an Opt-Out Aggregation?
With the assistance of a PUCO certified consultant, a community seeks bids from Certified Retail Natural Gas Service Providers. A qualified bidder is selected to supply the aggregation with its gas for a set period of time. An "Opt-Out" Notice is sent to each eligible community resident prior to the start of the aggregation. Each resident has 21 days from the postmarked date on the notice to contact the supplier to withdraw or "Opt-Out" of the program. After the 21-day period, any resident not opting out will be submitted to the utility company for enrollment in the program. The utility company will send notice of the pending enrollment to each participating resident. Each resident will then have 7 days to rescind their enrollment in the program by contacting the utility company. After the 7-day rescission period, all participating customers are officially enrolled in the program. The new supplier will appear on your natural gas bill within one to two billing cycles after enrollment is verified by the utility.
Whom do I call if I have a problem with my natural gas service?
Dominion Energy Ohio (DEO) will continue to deliver your natural gas and maintain the pipeline system that brings it to your home or business. You will continue to call DEO 1-877-542-2630 for emergency repairs or gas leaks. For non-emergencies such as billing questions, service turn on or turn off, call 1-800-362-7557.
Will it cost me to join the program?
No. Enrollment in the program is free and you need not take any action. You only need to be eligible to participate. Please refer to the eligibility criteria shown below.
Is everyone eligible for the program?
No, by law there are certain limitations on eligibility. All of the current participants in our community's program will receive a notice of the new program rates, terms and conditions and continue to be eligible. Newly eligible residents or businesses must be located within the community limits. Furthermore, they must have received an Opt-Out Notice from Constellation. Here are the criteria for new member eligibility:
1. Your local utility company must be Dominion Energy Ohio;
2. You must not have chosen a supplier on your own;
3. You must be a resident or business owner located within the community limits;
4. You must not be a PIPP (percentage of income payment program) customer;
5. You must not be in arrears on your bill payment; and
6. You must not be a mercantile customer (natural gas commercial accounts using over 500 Mcf/year)
When does the new rate start?
Customer switching takes place when meters are read. Therefore, your start date for the new rate will depend on when DEO reads your meter. Your service from Constellation is expected to begin with gas flowing in April 2019 (May 2019 bill cycle).
How long is the program?
The community's Governmental Aggregation Program can go on indefinitely. The offer from Constellation is for two years and will end with your April 2020 billing cycle. The rate through your April 2020 billing cycle will be $3.183/Mcf.
What if I don't want to participate?
While most residents will remain in, and benefit from, Governmental Aggregation Programs, the choice is up to you. If you do not want to participate you will have 21 days in which to return a reply card to Constellation or call them toll free at 1-844-467-4303. If you fail to do that, Constellation will enroll you as a new customer. DEO will acknowledge the enrollment and send you a confirmation letter reminding you of the pending switch. That letter will mention that you can cancel the switch by contacting DEO within 7 days.
Will I get two bills?
No. For your convenience, you will continue to receive only one bill from DEO. It will show DEO's delivery charges and the supply charge amount owed Constellation. DEO continues to read your meter, issue monthly bills and responds to all service calls.
Can I remain on budget billing?
Yes. If you are on budget billing you will remain on budget billing. (Note: DEO calculates your monthly budget amount each month by summing your total delivered gas cost on a rolling 12-month basis and dividing that total by average monthly usage in the same 12-month period.)
Does our community benefit from the program?
Yes. Our eligible community-owned facilities will be included in the program.
Can I exit this program without penalty?
Yes. A very attractive feature of our program is your ability to leave free of charge at any time for any reason. There are several "formal" opportunities to take yourself out of the program. First, when an offer is presented you will have 21-days to opt-out by returning a card to Constellation or making a toll-free phone call. If you do not opt-out DEO will then send to new members a confirmation notice giving you 7 more days to cancel the switch. Furthermore, by law, you will be able to leave without penalty at least every two years.
My friend lives in a nearby community and has a different rate from Constellation than mine. Why? Natural gas prices are highly volatile. Market rates change often and quickly. Price differences between communities will vary based primarily on the contract term and the dates on which pricing was secured for the community.
Can I enroll if I do not receive an Opt-Out Notice?
Yes. During the initial enrollment, any eligible resident that does not receive an Opt-Out Notice may contact Constellation directly at 1-844-467-4303 or online at www.Constellation.com/oh-canton to enroll in the Program.
Can I enroll after the initial enrollment period?
Constellation will always try to accommodate residents should they wish to enroll after the initial enrollment period. However, Constellation reserves the right to decline late enrollments depending on market conditions.
Can I enroll even if I currently purchase my gas from another supplier?
Yes, however your supplier may charge an early termination fee. All residents should check the terms and conditions of their current contract for more information.
What happens if I'm part of the program and I move?
A resident moving within the same community can stay in the aggregation by providing Constellation with their new address. If a resident moves out of the community or does not provide Constellation their new address, their participation will end and no early termination fee will apply.
Is this related to our community's electric program?
The programs are similar but totally independent. The electric and gas programs have different suppliers and are on different time lines. You do not have to belong to one to participate in the other.
This sounds complex. Is our community qualified to handle such a program?
We have retained Independent Energy Consultants, Inc., a PUCO certified broker and aggregator of electric and natural gas, without using any taxpayer money. They have designed, implemented, and administered similar successful gas and electric programs that impact over 100 communities across Ohio. We will have their assistance and that of Constellation throughout the program.
These FAQs help but I still have a question?
If you have additional questions please call Constellation at 1-844-467-4303, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.. For general information on natural gas deregulation in Ohio, you can visit the Web Sites of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel (www.occ.ohio.gov), or the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (www.PUCO.ohio.gov). Please do not contact our offices. We are pleased to have made this program possible, but are not prepared to handle calls.

Electric Aggregation Program
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) (PDF of FAQ)
(Canton – January 2018)
Supplier: AEP Energy (877) 726-0214
Program Rate: 5.376 cents/kWh March 2018 – March 2021
What do I do if I received both an opt-in letter and an opt-out letter?
If you received a letter telling you to proactively join the program (an opt-in letter) and then a letter stating that you will be automatically included in the program (an opt-out letter), you should ignore the opt-in letter and follow the instructions in the opt-out letter. The opt-in letter was likely sent to you in error. If you received both letters and wish to remain in the program you do not need to take any action.
What is aggregation?
Under governmental aggregation, local officials bring citizens together to gain group buying power for the purchase of competitively priced electricity from a retail electric generation supplier certified by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
How is the City able to choose a certified electric generation supplier on my behalf?
In November 2011, Canton's residents voted to allow the City to contract for an electric generation supplier on their behalf.
Who will be our supplier for the electric program?
AEP Energy will be replacing FirstEnergy Solutions as the new program supplier. AEP Energy won a competitive proposal process and was chosen as our program's supplier through the March 2021 meter read dates.
Whom do I call if I have a problem with my electric service?
The local utility, AEP Ohio (aka Ohio Power) company, will continue to deliver your electricity, read your meters, and issue your monthly bills. You will continue to call AEP Ohio at 800-672-2231 for emergency repairs, downed power lines, billing questions, etc.
Is our price for power fixed, or does it vary?
In this program, the price you will receive for the generation related charges is fixed at 5.376 cents/kWh for all the electricity you consume from March 2018 through March 2021. Unlike our program rates, the local utility's rates change quarterly and are unknown in advance.
What if I'm with another supplier and would like to join the City's program?
If you have already chosen a supplier you will not receive an Opt-Out Notice and are not eligible to be automatically included. You will need to contact AEP Energy seeking enrollment information. You will need to be aware of any obligations in your current agreement; many include an early termination fee. AEP Energy will always try to accommodate residents should they wish to enroll after the initial enrollment period. However, AEP Energy reserves the right to decline late enrollments depending on market conditions.
What does "opt out" mean?
"Opt out" means that you can decide not to participate in the City's electric Governmental Aggregation Program. By returning the opt-out form, which was included in the mailing, you will not be enrolled in the City's program and you will not receive the program rate.
What happens if I do not send in the opt-out form?
If you do not return the opt-out form postmarked by the required date, you will be included in the City's Governmental Aggregation Program with the fixed rate offer.
Will I get two bills?
No. You will continue to receive one bill from AEP Ohio that shows their distribution charges and the supply charge of AEP Energy.
Will I still receive a delivery charge from my local utility – Ohio Power?
Yes. Even though you have chosen a new supplier of electricity, Ohio Power continues to deliver the electricity to our homes and businesses. Distribution charges and a flat monthly customer charge apply whether you choose a supplier on your own or remain supplied by Ohio Power.
Can I stay on budget billing or have my payment automatically deducted from my checking account as I do now?
Yes, AEP will continue to offer those programs. If you are currently on budget billing AEP will continue to budget bill your distribution charges, but you will need to contact the supplier, AEP Energy, to request budget billing for your generation and transmission charges. Otherwise these charges will be passed through based on your actual monthly usage. You can contact AEP Energy at 877-726-0214 to request budget billing.
Can I exit this program without penalty?
You will be given an initial 21-day period to opt-out free of charge and then another 7-day period as soon as AEP Energy enrolls you as their customer. We are pleased to report that we have been able to eliminate the early termination fees for the program. You may leave the program at any time without penalty.
What if I move?
There is no penalty from AEP Energy for terminating your agreement if you move. If you move within the City and want to remain in the program, you'll need to contact AEP Energy to re-enroll.
Who is eligible for the program?
1. Your local utility company must be AEP Ohio/ Ohio Power;
2. You must be a resident or business owner located within the City limits;
3. You must not be a PIPP (percentage of income payment program) customer;
4. You must not be in arrears on your bill payment;
5. You must not be a mercantile customer (commercial accounts using over 700,000 kWh/year); and
6. You must not be a commercial customer with a peak demand > 199kW.
How will I sign up for the program?
There is no signup required. Residents, however, will have 21 days to opt-out of the program if they decide not to participate. An opt-out mailer will arrive from AEP Energy explaining the rates, terms and conditions and means for opting-out. If you would like to remain in the program, simply do nothing and you will be enrolled.
How did the City develop such a program?
We have retained Independent Energy Consultants, Inc., a PUCO certified broker and aggregator of electric and natural gas, without using any taxpayer money. They have designed, implemented, and administered similar successful electric and natural gas aggregation programs that impact over 100 communities across Ohio. We will have their assistance and that of AEP Energy throughout the program. We researched the process thoroughly and are pleased with the offer they negotiated. Independent Energy Consultants' efforts were instrumental in obtaining this offer for the City of Canton.
Does the City benefit from the program?
Yes. The City owned accounts are eligible to receive the program rate.
Will small businesses, schools and churches be eligible?
Small commercial accounts using less than 700,000 kWh/year and with a peak demand < 199kW are eligible. Interested accounts using more than this amount, will need to call AEP Energy to obtain this rate.
Does this affect my distribution charges or the wires coming to my home?
No. Customer Choice programs in Ohio provide residents the ability to choose an electric supplier other than the local utility company. Maintenance of the wires coming to a resident's home continues to be the responsibility of the homeowner.
Can I opt out over the phone?
Yes. You can opt out over the phone but you must do so before the opt-out deadline, listed on your letter, or you will be automatically included in the program.
What is the toll-free number for questions?
For answers to your questions, please call AEP Energy at 877-726-0214, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m, Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Where can I learn more about electric deregulation and assistance programs?
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio has approved a number of additional assistance programs to help customers with their energy bills. You may be eligible to participate in other programs and this offer from AEP Energy. Eligibility and enrollment information can be found on the PUCO's website at www.puco.ohio.gov.

Interview by StreetWise staff writer
Tony Landers was referred by the Outreach and Health Ministry, a programme under the Night Ministry umbrella, a partner organisation of StreetWise.
Staff and interns at StreetWise took an instant liking to Tony, who has a gentle and kind demeanour, an expressive and creative presence, and possesses the confidence to recognise that, as a human being, he is deserving of a certain standard of life and is ready to work towards improving his circumstances.
Tony has "Been sleeping outside every winter since 1991… I'm sleeping outside now, under the bridge on Wilson." Tony makes the best of his situation, recognising that, "Sometimes it's fun. I like being outside because on the outside I'm able to just be me."
There is obviously something that draws Tony to the outside life, and he is comfortable in the understanding of that aspect of himself. But he also says that, "I've been out for too long. The cold doesn't bother me but it does get too cold sometimes. Now, I'm tired. I'm getting old. I get dizzy a lot."
Tony experiences seizures, and the cold has affected his ability to take the medications necessary to keep him healthy.
When the cold Chicago nights become frigid to the point of endangerment, Tony will sometimes opt to spend the night in a shelter. But shelter life is difficult for him.
"I don't like the shelter. The employees don't know how to treat people. They shout at me. When it's time to get up, they holler and rush me out the door. Sometimes I'll ask for a bottom bunk because I have seizures, but they'll tell me that they don't have any and I have to go somewhere else. Some of them you have to be up at four or five in the morning and if it's still cold, they'll still put you outside. It might be below zero, but you have to get out still. I might as well stay outside."
"I want an apartment where I can have my grandchildren over."
Tony has been working with several agencies, including StreetWise, to obtain permanent housing. He says that he's been offered Single Room Occupancies [SROs], but a room would be unacceptable for his vision of where his life needs to go.
"I don't want an SRO because I want a space that my family can come to. I want an apartment where I can have my grandchildren over. They're looking forward to being with me; I don't want a room where my grandchildren won't be able to come because it's against the rules or there's not enough space. I want to be comfortable. I have an income and I'm saving money, with that I can afford an apartment."
Tony has the means and the will to fulfil his vision of having a space for his family to visit him, a place where he can have an entire apartment to call his own. Unfortunately, there are roadblocks that have kept this vision from becoming reality.
"I was in jail for two days because I busted out a window in 2009. They check my background and say I can't get the apartment because I damaged property. I know people who were evicted that have apartments but I was never evicted."
Though Tony has become frustrated with the lack of progress made in his search for housing, he has made the best out of his situation. He is slowly collecting items that he'll need for his apartment, and when he leaves the bridge, the others staying under the bridge, his neighbours, watch his stuff for him. And to stay warm, Tony has a tent: "And a bunch of blankets, maybe around 20. I'll be hot under there!"

Apparently, this actually happened.
Tuesday was Phil Collins Day, didn't you know?
Well 250 parade marchers in Greenpoint, Brooklyn sure took the holiday seriously. Organizers of the event promised dancers, floats, even a marching band (who played "I Can't Dance"), and they all showed up as promised.
Participants even wore creepy Phil Collins cut-out masks as they sang old Genesis songs.
Even the man himself (an imitator) hopped on a float (a car) and rode down Franklin Street until police stopped the parade. But no worries, the paradegoers then took their Phil Collins drink tickets to the nearby Shayz Lounge.
The organizers of the absolutely absurd Phil Collins Day, currently in its fifth year, explained its origins to Gothamist:
It began back at [organizer Heather Kramer's] high school in Washington as a reaction to Valentine's Day, as she "watched with disgust and awkward sadness as the halls of our high school filled with red balloons and thorny roses."
Feather had just expected a few friends at the parade, but now says "it's spread to all corners of the world wide web. And as exciting as that seems, it also makes me a little nervous. I hope, that for all who come tonight, that they come to enjoy everything that Phil represents, and to have a great time. To eat pizza, to drink Phil Collins drinks, to make Phil masks, and to enjoy this homemade parade."

Saving The Uber Kalanick Built
Travis Kalanick's resignation as Uber's CEO represents a huge opportunity to reshape the company's culture and tarnished reputation.
It was Kalanick's aggressive nature and talent that catapulted Uber's disruptive vision into the future of ride-hailing. It was this combination that led to the company's rapid success, but it also led to the company's downfall.
Uber, an entity with so much promise, was challenged with a fatal flaw — the culture that Kalanick built.
The very same culture that enabled Uber to become the iconic startup of this generation was the same culture that brought it to its current crisis.
With other fall from grace and redemption stories parading Silicon Valley, could Kalanick's be just the latest example of a Silicon Valley tragic hero?
The trope is familiar, perhaps most well known in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL)'s Steve Jobs. Jobs was ousted from the company he founded, but later made an epic comeback, shouldering the iConic brand to its current status of tech behemoth.
Now is the crux of Uber's story.
With the fate of Uber up in the air, filling Kalanick's role requires the company to really do something unexpected to reassure stakeholders that the company is committed to changing the toxic misogynistic culture it has cultivated over the years.
What Can Uber Do To Regain Its Image?
"For a company that has a reputational deficit, doing something completely unexpected would be a reasonable strategy," Nir Kossovsky, corporate reputation expert and CEO of Steel City Re, told Benzinga.
To regain its reputation, Uber's hero must acknowledge the grievances of its culture and address them operationally. Those changes must be implemented in a way that stakeholders can see; they must know without a doubt that the company is moving in a different direction.
"The leader that steps in is going to have to be somebody that nobody expected, that has unimpeachable reputation for ethics, a highly ethical individual, that is a stalwart of ethical behavior, the corporate version of Mother Teresa, but also recognizes as being a powerful business leader," said Kossovsky.
Sound Like Someone We Know?
With Uber facing a reputation deficit, naming a truly unexpected leader with excellent credentials is an essential strategy to restore the firm's identity.
Although it appears far-fetched, rumors are swirling that former President Barack Obama would be a good candidate as the next Uber CEO.
"The idea of something as unexpected as asking the former President of the United States is consistent with the strategy of rectifying their reputational deficit," added Kossovsky.
Kossovsky said companies generally bounce back, but it is more difficult for the person to make a comeback.
"In the corporate world, it is a very small world of leaders that are deemed to be suitable for the highest echelon of leadership. If you have stumble and damaged yourself, it is very tough to bounce back," he said.
So, while Kalanick may be out, Uber isn't necessarily done.
1,000 Employees Petition To Bring Kalanick Back
The story is far from over, Kossovsky said.
"Just as the board took action to restore its reputation by firing the CEO, the board should have developed a plan to manage the expectations of stakeholders who would be disappointed by the firing of Kalanick," Kossovsky said on news that 1,000 Uber employees have signed a petition for the re-installment of Kalanick.
Kossovsky argued that boards can't just rip the founder from the company. Just as with Apple, and Twitter Inc (NYSE: TWTR) more recently, it has proven to be a very bad decision.
Accompanying the circulated petition between employees was the following: "TK [Kalanick], no matter his flaws (everyone has them) was one of the best leaders I have ever seen. ... He worked day and night in creating this company to what it is today."
"Uber is TK," the letter went on, "and TK is Uber."
A different version of these same sentiments in the form of a letter to Ubers board reads: "Yes, Travis [Kalanick] is flawed, as we all are. ... But his passion, vision, and dedication to Uber are simply unmatched. We would not be here today without him, and believe he can evolve into the leader we need. He is critical to our future success."
However, while Kalanick has quite the reputation of his own to overcome, Jobs proved that public perception is not a death sentence. With the devotion of his employees, could the man who made Uber make his own comeback? In Silicon Valley, anything is possible.

This is a title and cover change, originally published in paperback and ebook form as No More Heroes. Be ready first week in December 2015. Cover design is also a reason for the change, it having been suggested to me that the story content is not adequately represented by the original – more militaristic – title and cover image. This is the only reason for the change and is stated in the reprint's flyleaf.
Apart from readers' positive reviews online it has had an excellent and unsolicited review by Debbie Young, affiliated member of the Indie Authors group.
Friends of My Father is now available in ebook and paperback format.

"We are not going for Bharat Stage V (or Euro-V) petrol and diesel as there is not much difference between BS-V and BS-VI (Euro-VI) fuel. We will bring BS-VI fuel by 2020," he told reporters here.
India currently has BS-III, equivalent of Euro-III specifications, across the country and BS-IV in major cities. "BS-IV will be supplied in most big cities by April 2016 and all over the country from April 2017," he said.
"From BS-IV we will directly go to BS-VI," he said. "We don't see a need for refineries to first invest in upgrading fuel quality to BS-V and then again invest to upgrade to BS-VI."
Oil refineries will need to invest Rs 80,000 crore in upgrading petrol and diesel quality to meet cleaner fuel specifications by 2020.
Previously, the fuels meeting Euro-IV or Bharat Stage (BS)-IV specifications were to be supplied throughout the country by April 2017 and BS-V or Euro-V grade fuel by April 1, 2020.
But now instead of step-wise upgradation from BS-IV to BS-V and then from BS-V to BS-VI, the government plans to switch over directly from BS-IV to BS-VI auto fuels by April 1, 2020, he said.
BS-IV fuels contain 50 parts per million (ppm) sulphur, while BS-V and BS-VI grade fuel will have 10 ppm sulphur.
Oil refineries had previously upgraded technology and invested over Rs 55,000 crore for production and supply of BS-III/IV fuels. Another Rs 80,000 crore investment would be required for further upgradation.
Currently, BS-IV auto fuels are being supplied in whole of northern India covering J&K, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, parts of Rajasthan and western UP. The rest of the country has BS-III grade fuel.
From April 1, 2016, all of Goa, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, Odisha, Union Territories of Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Andaman & Nicobar will get BS-IV fuel. The rest of the country will get supplies of BS-IV fuel from April 1, 2017.
"This government reiterates it commitment to reducing carbon footprint. We have given in writing to the NGT on reducing fuel emission and we will stick to that," Pradhan said.
To reduce pollution and green house gas (GHG) emissions, use of gas as transport fuel (CNG) in cities is being encouraged.
India, he said, has pledged to improve the carbon emission intensity of its GDP by 33-35 per cent by 2030 from 2005 level and to create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030.
