– Hi I'm Isabelle and welcome
back to Engineer Your Space. Today I'm gonna share with
you how I made a temporary dividing wall to separate my home office from my living room. So let's get started. (funky music) I really do love my office
and it's a great place to work from home. But the one thing that I
was missing was storage, and I also didn't like
the fact that it was completely open to my living room. So my solution for this
was to use Billy Bookcases as storage, but also as a base to hold some shelves that complete
the visual separation from the living room, but
without closing in my office. The first part of the project
was to join the two bookcases by first attaching them together
with screws at the front. For the back, I covered it
with quarter inch plywood. I needed a piece that was
63 inches by 41 inches. I had the four by eight sheet
cut at the hardware store, and had the piece cut in half so that it would fit in my car. It's easier to screw the plywood in place with the bookcases lying on the floor. And you will want to
countersink all your screw heads so that the back surface is smooth. I attached a one by three
board between the bookcases and the plywood, plus with
the bottom of the back of the bookcases. This board
makes the base more stable and it gives a place to screw
in the bottom of the plywood. Next I prime the surface. And you could fill in the
holes of the screw heads with wood filler before doing
this, and that would give you a more even surface. I decided to go with a beautiful
textured metallic wallpaper to cover the plywood. It's the perfect thing to
cover up any imperfections and the joint in the plywood. Because I didn't overlap the
wallpaper enough at the seams, when it dried, it shrunk a
little bit and I ended up with a white line. So for a quick fix, I ended
up using some eye shadow that I had that matched
the color of the wallpaper. And I simply brushed it on and then wiped it off with my fingers. Now one last thing that I
wanted to do to the base, was to make a hole in one of the sides. And that's so I would be able
to put in an extension cord to plug in things like my printer. I used tape to cover the
sides of the bookcase to mark the location of the shelf, the back panel, and the center of where
I want my hole to be. And then I used an inch
and a half hole saw bit to make the hole. The tape helps protect the
finish for a smoother edge, and all that's needed is a light sanding to take out the rough spots. The next part of the
project was to make the top, and I made mine using
one by fours that I had cut at the hardware store. It's very important to measure
and have your cross pieces cut carefully because you want
the top to be able to slide over the base smoothly,
but without leaving too much of a gap. I painted all the wood and then
using a combination square, I marked the location
of the shelves across all of the vertical boards. It just makes it easier
to line everything up. I used a corner clamp to hold the boards, and drilled pilot holes and screwed the pieces together,
countersinking the screws. Next I attached the
crosspieces the same way, and I covered up all the
screw heads with wood filler, let that dry and sanded it down before touching it up with paint. I also made a hole in the
side of the top to match the hole in the bookcase
for the extension cord. Next it was just a matter of
sliding the top over the base, and my furry helper here
wasn't actually very helpful, but she's pretty cute so
I think I'll keep her. I left an overhang of half
an inch and screwed the top to the base and covered the
rest of the sides and the top of the bookcase with a one by
six and another one by four. I also added a one by one on
the bottom of the wallpaper side of the dividing wall,
just to complete the frame. And that's it, the dividing wall is done. Now it's really just a matter
of dressing up the shelves with some accessories. I used a piece of
driftwood that I had found at the beach to fill
in the middle section. And I did that by drilling
holes in the branches, and using wire and eye screws
to secure it to the top. I also made a double-sided
picture frame by removing the flaps from two
frames, adding some Velcro, and then stapling a wood stick
with a small hole for hanging The Velcro makes it really easy to attach the frames together and take them apart for changing out the pictures. And then you simply hang the
whole thing from a small hook. Having this dividing wall has
made such a huge difference. Now I have tons of storage
in my office that's completely hidden from
the rest of the apartment. And my office truly feels
like a separate room, but without feeling closed in. The dividing wall is really
stable with all the heavy things that I've put in my bookcases. But you could also use
brackets to attach it to the wall for extra support. Well that's it for today's episode. If you want to watch how
I use Billy Bookcases to create an entryway in
my New York apartment, you can click on this video here. And if you wanna watch
part one and part two of my home office projects, you

Setting up a blog or website for personal or business use is not as difficult as you might think it is. Basic knowledge of HTML would be an asset, but no programing experience is required. In 2012, when I was in New Zealand, I started an internet marketing business with two other like-minded business enthusiasts. This was the first time I learned about WordPress, GoDaddy, and many more interesting internet companies (defined as companies that do the majority of their business on the internet).
Before starting your own blog or website, you should prepare yourself. I have created free resources for you so that you can start planning your blog. Simply download The One-Page Blog Planning Sheet and start the initial work.
1. Blog or Static Website
If you want to start a blog or static website I recommend using WordPress or Squarespace. Both offer great themes and an intuitive content management system (CMS), which is the front-end user interface that allows users, even with limited expertise, to add, modify, and remove content from a website without the intervention of an administrator. Using a CMS is as easy as using Facebook. My personal website and the static website of Awaken&More are both run on WordPress.
On WordPress you first select which kind of website you need, then you proceed to find your domain name, which should be equal or similar to your brand name. You either choose a free plan with a .wordpress.com ending or purchase a customized domain name with a .com ending. You can also use a domain name you already own. When I signed up, it was possible to purchase a customized domain name while being on a free plan. I had to pay only 18 Euros per year. However, this is no longer possible. The cheapest plan is called Personal and costs 4 Euros per month; currently it includes a domain registration and privacy protection. Each plan includes a selection of 121 free themes. Whether you select the free plan or a paid one, the next step is to learn how to use WordPress.
A more advanced solution is to purchase a web hosting plan from GoDaddy (or HostGator), which includes a free domain name, and then use the 1-click install to upload and self-host your WordPress theme. You can read about the difference between the fully hosted WordPress.com, and the self-hosted version, whose software is available for free at WordPress.org here. If you select the self-hosted version and use GoDaddy as your web hosting platform, make sure to search for GoDaddy coupons. They can be found online throughout the internet and you could end up paying as little as 1 Euro per month. However, subsequent years are often more expensive.
My personal blog uses the free Rebalance theme by Automattic and the hosting is managed by WordPress.com. However, the advanced solution requires more work. First, select a free theme on WordPress.com, then scroll down on the theme description page, and finally download the theme for free. Alternatively you could select a paid theme on ThemeForest, which is a website that offers much more choice.
Once you found your theme you need to convert the downloaded folder into a .zip file and follow the steps provided by GoDaddy. Afterwards you can log into your WordPress theme and follow the instruction on how to install the theme through the .zip file. Then you can proceed following the WordPress tutorial as the CMS is the same as the one from WordPress.com. Noteworthy, the WordPress CMS does not change in the advanced solution. The difference is that you host your theme on an different web hosting platform than the one managed by WordPress.com.
Once you run the WordPress theme, you can start adding plugins, which can be downloaded from WordPress.org or other sites such as CodeCanyon. When you downloaded a plugin, simply go to the WordPress sidebar Plugins, click on Add New, and then press Upload Plugin and upload the plugin .zip file. Read this article on GoDaddy to find out more about the powerful functionality that you can add to WordPress via plugins.
I find it very convenient to create an email address that uses the domain name address, such as email@example.com when the website is claudiomarseglia.com. I like consistency and would not like a email address that is different from my domain name address. WordPress explains how to set up email forwarding. Once the WordPress email forwarding setting is installed, you have to change some settings in your mail program. Apple Mail users have to go to the Accounts settings, select the current email account, go to the email address, set a comma after the first address, and then simply type the new email address you created. If you want to create more than five email addresses, then you need to follow this instruction and open an account with Zoho. This worked well for Awaken&More as Zoho comes with a free plan that includes up to 50 free accounts.
Once you set up your blog or static website, you can start creating content and publishing it through your selected CMS.
2. Online Store
If you want to start a blog or website including an online store, then I totally recommend Shopify. Simply visit the site, add your account information, and proceed to set up the online store through their intuitive design and detailed instructions. Some WordPress themes also offers store options, however, it can become complicated for first-time users to set up stores that are secure and ensure legal compliance. Shopify offers a great solution with modern designed themes.
3. Hiring a Programer
Sometimes a theme, even if it is customizable, does not reflect your idea. You have a clear vision and need a programer that can understand your needs and program a website that reflects your vision. Due to the simplicity of WordPress, I recommend asking your programer to program a WordPress website. Furthermore, as more and more people use mobile devices, ask your programer to use a responsive design that can adapt to different screen sizes. If you want a very specific website, hiring a programer is the way to go. However, do not go directly to your local web agency. First, likely it is very expensive and you need to save your cash for other expenses. Second, most web agencies outsource their programing work to freelancers and act as mere middlemen. Cut out the middleman and hire a programer on Freelancer or Upwork. It is not difficult when you know what you want, understand the rating and review system, and have solid English communication skills. I have had both good and bad experiences with freelances but at the end I was always very satisfied. I will soon post an article on how to select freelancers, set clear expectations, and create manageable milestones. However, feel free to comment with a question if you cannot wait.

Hiking in Cortland County
State Forest
The James D. Kennedy Memorial State Forest was named in memory of the District Forester James D. Kennedy. The 4422 acre forest is located in the towns of Harford, Lapeer and Virgil on Babcock Hollow, Baldwin, Bleck, Cook Hill, Courtney Hill, Cortwright, Hauck Hill, Hilsinger, O'Dell, Owego Hill, Quail Hollow, Scutt Hill, Valentine Hill and Van Donsel Roads.
This state forest has a great trail system featuring over 10 miles of the North Country Trail/Finger Lakes Trail as the main trail through the forest with several side trails that offer many loop hike opportunities of different lengths. This is the most visited state forest in Cortland County.
A few primitive camping spots are located behind this gate off Hauck Hill Road
The Dabes Diversion Trail, Kuzia Cut Off Trail, Virgil Mountain Trail, Spanish Loop Trail and the new Swedish Loop Trail are also located in the forest. These spur trails are part of the 900+ mile Finger Lakes Trail System. There are four miles of cross-country ski trails as well as the Foxfire Lean-to.
There are also 3 Public Forest Access Roads,(PFARs) within James D. Kennedy Memorial State Forest. They are: Scutt PFAR (2.1 Miles in length), Courtney Hill PFAR (0.8 Miles in length), and Cotton Hanlon PFAR (0.9 Miles in Length). PFAR's are permanent unpaved roads that are open to public use unless gated or otherwise noted.
Camping is free in this state forest as it is in most other state forests with the same rules as other state lands from the DEC which include camping allowed anywhere in the forest as long as you are at least 150 feet from any road, trail or water. A good camping location in the forest is off seasonal dirt Hauck Hill Road at the yellow gate. Park along the side of the road and a few primitive campsites are on the other side of the gate a short walk away.
This part of Hauck Hill Road is part of the Dabes Diversion Trail and this primitive camping area is located just west of the Kuzia Cut Off Trail. Hikers will find many great hiking opportunities in this state forest.
To access the forest there are numerous roads that pass through this state forest. From Virgil and NY 392 --> Owego Hill Rd, Daisy Hollow Rd, Babcock Hollow Rd, Van Donsell Rd, O'Dell Rd, Bleck Rd and Baldwin Rd all access this large state forest.

"Wildlife has always been the constant interest and passion in my life that has never wavered. It's a privilege to be given the opportunity to get involved with the DSWF where real differences to wildlife & communities are made. It's devastating to think that my children may never encounter some species we see today so I feel a duty to help where I can."
DSWF Painted Dog Ambassador - Alex Gregory MBE
Alex Gregory MBE, Five times world champion and two times Olympic gold medallist in Rowing is our Painted Dog Ambassador!
Painted dogs, also known as painted wolves and wild dogs, are one of Africa's most endangered carnivores. They once inhabited 39 countries in Africa, forming a population of 500,000. Today fewer than 6,500 African painted dogs survive.
DSWF funds anti-poaching and education programmes to help protect the painted dogs in Zimbabwe. By supporting the conservation and protection of painted dogs the local communities have made the connection that a healthy dog population means greater funding for education and medical and maternity clinics in their areas. This positive conservation connection between wildlife and the standard of living has lead to a sustainable local movement of community based protection.

I left that experience, heavier then when I started (Although I was still only 125lbs! What the heck was my deal?), and with a new found hatred for salads!
It wasn't until I was about 19yrs old, that I could even consider eating a salad!
That was the time when I discovered this salad. It's in the "Rosdale Diet" book, although I've made the recipe my own. His actually has more calories then my version!
This is a seriously yummy salad! I usually reach for this salad when I need a little help to keep me from running to the nearest Krispy Creme! It's yummy, mouthwatering, and a very satisfying salad! It solves my craving for the "No No" food, when I'm having my weak moments. It's also very filling. I sometimes (key word sometimes) can't even finish it! When I eat this salad I think to myself, "I can totally do this!"
You Will Need:
~1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil (I usually add a little shy of a tablespoon)
~1-2 squeezes of a lemon
~About a 1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
~Half a garlic clove chopped. (I sometimes skip the garlic when I don't feel like messing with it)
~A pinch of sugar or splenda
~3-4 black olives sliced
~1 tablespoon sliced almonds
~1 boneless skinless chicken breast (I usually only use half, and save the other half to use in a salad the next day. Or give it to my husband for his salad;)
Mix the EVOO, dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic, and sugar together. (I usually mix it in a 1/4 cup measuring cup, because it's a small amount and tends to get lost in a big bowl :)
1. Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a deep skillet. Reduce to simmer, and add the thawed chicken breast.
2. Simmer for 10-15 min. Check to see if chicken is completely cooked by cutting into the middle of the breast. Meat should be white, and juices should run clear.
3. In a bowl, combine: mixed greens, olives, and almonds.
4. Pour half the dressing into the bowl, and toss well.
5. Slice chicken diagonally into 1/2 inch slices, and arrange on top of salad.
6. Drizzle remaining dressing on top
Around 350 to 400, depending on if you use half a chicken breast or not.
Yes, it's a bit of a splurge, but it's satisfying, tasty, healthy, and has the good kind of fat in it.

Tom Cruise Says 'Top Gun 2' is Ready for Takeoff
It's been over 30 years, but Tom Cruise once again feels the need… the need for speed. And a Top Gun sequel. He told the Australian Morning Show Sunrise (via Yahoo) that "It's true. I'm going to start filming it, probably in the next year."
Top Gun was an unexpected smash hit in 1986, shooting a young Tom Cruise to superstardom and selling about a zillion soundtracks (estimated). In a decade largely defined by films that celebrated nonconformity, Tony Scott's drama about fighter pilots argued that rebelliousness has no place in the military, and inspired an enormous spike in Navy recruitment.
It's highly unusual for a film as popular as Top Gun to go decades without any sequels, remakes, spin-offs or television series. Rumors swirled for years until Top Gun 2 finally got the green light in the early 2010s, but the production stalled out when filmmaker Tony Scott – who was planning to return for the follow-up – committed suicide in 2012.
Also: The Essential Film & TV Roles of Sir Roger Moore (1927-2017)
The odd thing about any potential Top Gun sequel is that it will almost certainly tackle the realities of modern warfare, in which the skies are currently filled with remote-controlled drones, and the sort of high-speed, high-stakes dogfights that made the original movie so viscerally thrilling no longer take place. Recent films like Good Kill have already tackled the difficult transition that veteran pilots are making in this new military environment.
Tom Cruise is no doubt eager to get started, but be careful not to take his word as gospel just yet. Top Gun 2 still needs a director, and a heck of a lot can happen to a motion picture while it's still in development. But if you're a fan of Top Gun, it's never the wrong time to crack out some Berlin, and hope that the future will take our collective breath away.

good source of omega 3
My siblings were recommended this product as the capsules were harder to swallow. They love this brand and that they have included gummies. Great source of omega 3 too
My daughter loves these vitamins. I found they weren't as sweet as other brands which I love. I'd definitely recommend to other parents.
I started taking these during my last pregnancy because other omega supplements made me sick. They have no fishy taste which is awesome. I now give them to my kids daily and they love them..
My 5 yr old has ADHD & ODD, so we decided to try the Ironkids Omega-3 For Smart Kids Gummies to help his concentration when he is in school. And it has really helped, his teachers have noticed a huge difference!
We tried a few other brands first, but he wouldn't eat them, he said they all tasted like fish. He likes the taste of these ones.
I buy them from Costco 200 pack for like $14.99, which is way cheaper than the other brands we tried first (that all had half the amount for twice the price)
We buy Ironkids Omega 3 gummies. It says on the bottle they are triple distilled pure source fish oil. No artificial colors or flavors. Guaranteed dairy, gluten and nut free. These are all important things to me. I have a child with allergies to gluten, dairy and nuts. My children were recommended to take omega 3's (DHA) due to a genetic eye disease in the family. I have tried numerous brands and my kids spit them out cause they taste awful. Ironkids is the only brand my kids enjoy the flavor and as a parent I feel are safe to give to my child.
My daughter loves the shape , taste and colors of the vitamins...She reminds me to give her the daily dose...no more horrid tasting stuff ....
About one month ago, I received a packaged wrapped in cellophane and pink and yellow ribbons. In it was a full sized bottle of IronKids Gummies (and a bottle of Adult Essentials Gummies - review to follow).
Being a mom of 2, with one child who is anemic, I am always on the hunt for the appropriate amount of essential vitamins my kids can take each day. We have tried many vitamins, from the pills to the chewables (both were had to swallow and "chalky". We finally settled on the L'il Critters Gummy Vites. I thought my prayers were answered. I finally found a vitamin that both kids liked (considering I have to "tackle" my son to take any kind of medicine.
So, when these new vitamins can, claiming that they contained all the essential vitamins AND fish oils for brain development and that they were GUMMIES, well, me and the kids were excited. As I opened the container, I asked to kids to smell it and to tell me what they thought. They both liked the smell ("very fruity"), they each got 3 gummies (recommended dose). Again, their response was "Wow mom, they smell great", "look, they are squishy" and "mom, look, they are little fishies" (we are a fishing family so this is a major plus). Next, the taste. They both tried the first one and were very happy with the taste and feel of them. They like them and wanted more. This was awesome,
So, every morning and before bedtime the kids take their gummies (it`s like eating candy, mommy). I am also noticing that my daughter who has anemia, the darkness under her eyes is slowing going away and that they have more energy when they come back from school. I can rest assured that they are getting the essential vitamins plus fish oils that their growing bodies and minds need.
I am definitely going to continue buying this product.
So I just received the kids vitamins to try out! They are great, I tried them myself an they taste great, awesome texture! which is super important to me. I find any chewable vitamins to be chalky and not fun to eat. The kids love them and were eager to take their vitamins again today! I think they like the flavor and color...plus the fact that they can take 3 a day is a bonus!! I would recommend this product to anyone with kids that are picky and need the extra vitamins.

So I hardly raced at all over the summer, but this fall has been full of racing. Started with SSWC in Durango, then headed to eastern AZ for the 60-miles-of-dirt Tour of the White Mountains. Super fun singletrack, great aid stations, gorgeous scenery...all of the Epic Rides (www.epicrides.com) events are highly recommended. Despite the 15 miles of dirt roads (not exactly my strong suit), I pulled off a 3rd place, outsprinting a girl that I've never beaten in endurance stuff before. Woohoo!
The next weekend, my husband and I drove to northern New Mexico for some huevos rancheros and a 12-hour DH race at Angel Fire. Sure, I wasn't riding my Soulcraft....but I wanted to brag about the most prize money I've ever won! Thanks to Red Bull for putting up cash for such a cool race.
Finally on to some AZ Cyclocross, the first 2 races of the series were in Flagstaff this weekend, a really fun venue at one of the high schools. I hadn't planned on racing much 'cross...but when it's 2 miles from your house it's hard to pass up.
Even though my lungs were not so hot (thanks, swine flu), the Groundskeeper and I shredded this giant pile of dirt and pulled out the win both days.

Rents may be up in San Francisco but it is still better than actually buying a home.
That is not the case across the country, where a new study by real estate site Trulia finds that it is cheaper to buy a two-bedroom home than to rent one in 74 percent of the country.
But in 12 percent of major metropolitan cities in the U.S. that is not the case. Topping the list, where it is still better to rent than buy, are San Francisco and New York City.
"It's a personal decision, of course. But if you have a steady job and you are planning to stay for seven years or more and have enough cash to put 20 percent down and enough left over for seven or eight months of expenses, you're better off buying in most places," Daisy Kong, a spokeswoman for Trulia, told CNN.
In San Francisco renting dollars still go further than actually purchasing a home. And that theory seems to be validated by another report that says home sales across the Bay Area are down as the country struggles to avoid a double dip recession.
It's Still Cheaper to Rent in SF Than Buy

It'll make for a fascinating story to learn what finally convinced Hosni Mubarak to go. As it was the story line could do nothing but deteriorate. Mubarak's departure does not assure sunshine and roses, but a longer delay would have made it worse. (See an earlier post.)
The US team working on the transition will take comfort from the long and friendly relationship between the US military and the Egyptian army. The US has trained most of the Egyptian officers, they have spent time in the US and in many instances there are genuine friendships between US and Egyptian brass. At a time of change, when the military has been given authority, this is a good sign.
In this moment of hope, I urge you to recall the song refrain from this Post's title and to imagine the former strongman- dancing like an Egyptian. Better yet-recall Steve Martin's moves to "King Tut." Bye bye Hosni.
This post comes from the Amtrak Surfliner south bound to San Diego. The shot whizzing by above is south of Santa Barbara.
We have become fans of the route and find this brand of train travel preferable, in most ways, to flying. Seats and space are more comfortable, the views are terrific and you avoid the angst and hassle of airports, gates, lines, x-ray machines and etc.
If you drive, you might save 1-2 hours on the trip from the Central Coast to San Diego. The operative word being DRIVE. That means in and around LA. Been there and done that. Simply sitting back, reading, snoozing and watching the view is vastly preferable.
Now others can take the freeway. I'll take the free time.
And, it's pretty difficult to blog while you drive.
See you down the trail.

love this machine
i owned a foodsaver for 15 years with no problems well it finally broke and have had 2 others in the last year with nothing but problems this machine is awesome i highly recommend it
VacMaster PRO380 is equipped with the industry's first extended 16" seal bar, allows for sealing wider bags and also 2 bags at once. Vacuum package more with this unit, from pre-made meals and leftovers to game and fish. The PRO380 features a powerful dual piston pump and cooling fan, will keep you going for hours. Ideal for heavy home use, recreational hunters and fishermen, and for sour vide cooking.
Features an easy to use control panel with pre-set vacuum settings for simple operation. You'll be able to marinate meats and fish with the marinating function. Also seal delicate items with the pulse button or use accessory port to package snacks in VacMaster storage containers. Includes storage for rolls up to 50 feet long, with handy cutter. A transparent lid makes it easy to see where a bag is being placed on the seal bar.
Please Note: Chamber Vacuum Pouches DO NOT work on this suction vacuum sealer. Only use vacuum sealer bags and rolls.
i owned a foodsaver for 15 years with no problems well it finally broke and have had 2 others in the last year with nothing but problems this machine is awesome i highly recommend it
I've owned my 380 for about 6 months now. I researched several brands for months making my decision. I process meat and make thousands of lbs a year of meat products, snack stix, sausages, deli sliced meat, Hams, Jerky, etc. It's what I do as a hobby and a side line biz. I made the right move. Since owning the 380 I have processed and sealed 7 Deer, 150lbs of Brats, 200lbs of snack stix and many many other food stuffs without a hitch. The main selling point for me, what put me over the edge, was the duty cycle or time you have to wait between seals and the 5mil thick seal. My previous Foodsaver made me wipe down the seal wire with a cool cloth and waiting for it to cool down before I could seal another bag. The cutter is extremely handy and is a real time saver as well. The 380 recommends waiting 20 seconds between seals but I can tell you I haven't had an issue with this at all. I use 50ft rolls. My process this far has been. 1: pull out a length of bag material 2: cut 3: seal one end repeat 10-50 times. 4: Fill all the bags 5: vac and seal each bag. Done. no waiting for cool downs and no loss in vacuum. The down side? The end of the roll can and will slide down back into the storage area. Now you have to lift the cutting bar, press the two buttons on each side of the unit, lift the cover and fish the end of the roll back out, close the lid and lower the cutting bar. the trick is to press lightly on the lid while you pick up the corner of the roll end and pull. Otherwise it will slip back down into the abis. When cutting a bag with the cutter it's helpful to press your palm on the tail of the bag while cut. This will help to make a nice straight cut. Otherwise what you pulled out to cut may slip a bit while you run the cutter across the bag. The 380 does not like liquid in or around the seal area at all. If while vacing, juices get pulled up to the seal bar you may get an incomplete seal. You'll notice this by seeing what looks like a blister within the 5 mil seal. No problem, simply pull back a bit and make another seal making for a double seal. I haven't lost vacuum in a bag yet by keeping an eye on this. All in all it's as close to perfect as I can get for what I do and I do a LOT of meat. Would I buy another? In a heart beat and I just might do that.

Traditionally, a boarding school consists of residential living, strict schedules, and a live in staff. This structure is modeled after classic British boarding schools and has been adapted by varies cultures throughout time. Today boarding schools have evolved into facilities with individual values. Young men and their parents now have the option to attend a military, college prep, behavioral, therapeutic, or religious boarding school. Many parents are drawn to the single-sex boarding school structure, which has proven results of academic success within the students.
Choosing the right boys boarding school is dependent on the factors of why it's up for consideration. If your teenage son is struggling academically, behaviorally, or within your family dynamic; they might require outside assistance to work through the root cause of the problem. This is where specialty boarding schools such as therapeutic facilities become useful. Obtaining professional help in a stable environment could be a life-changing path for young men who are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, serious depression, and severe ADHD.
If the young man is displaying behavioral issues such as criminal activity, sexually acting out, or serious bullying; they might be masking a more serious issue. Behavioral boarding schools focus on instilling proper values and respect into the students. This is done to ensure that these behavior issues are discontinued and the students learn to live a more functional lifestyle. Both therapeutic and behavioral boarding schools are options available to parents when they are in need of assistance with their teenage son.
However, many boarding schools are filled with bright young men that display enhanced success in the stable and safe environment. Boarding schools such as college prep facilities strive for the academic and personal achievement of the students. Due to the private nature of the schools, it becomes impossible for students to skip classes, miss assignments, or get into trouble. These boarding schools also offer a variety of sports and activities that give the students an outlet for creativity and aggression.
Whether you're interested in sending your troubled son to a facility for at-risk teens or would like to provide him with the opportunity for further achievement; there is a type of boarding school available. While boarding schools are not a perfect fit for every student, for some it can be a useful platform for success later on in life.

Tips to have a one night stand
A one night stand is something that almost every guy out there dreams about. No guy wants to turn that dream into a nightmare. That can happen if you don't prepare yourself before the big event happens. It may seem like you can't prepare yourself for something that just happens out of the blue. You can and should. Following this list will undoubtedly get you one step closer to enjoying your once in a lifetime sexual experience.
Be open to experimentation
This is the perfect time to give anal sex a try. Have you never gone down on someone? A one-night stand is the best time to do it. Why? You'll never see the person again. You won't have to worry about having to think about uncomfortable moments when you see the person again. Do whatever you want without any care whatsoever. Do you have a wild golden shower fetish where someone pisses all over you? If so, live it out. Be as crazy and carefree as you want.
Now is not the time for guilt
How many times have you felt guilty while hooking up with someone? Did you manipulate them to get in the sack with you? It's common to have a million thoughts running through your mind when you're trying to convince someone to have sex. A one-night stand is totally different. Both parties are actually comfortable with what's going on. There's no need to feel anything other than pure happiness. This is one of those times when you can let your hair down and simply enjoy yourself.
Have a couple of drinks and let loose
Why not? Get a little buzzed and enjoy yourself. Think of this as going to the amusement park. You don't look at a slice of pizza there and worry about how many calories is in it. Go all out and have yourself a good time. Eat, drink, and be merry. Go hog wild and don't even think twice about it. You don't want to get shit faced. That will produce an experience that will be highly forgettable. Just loosen up and have some fun. Be the person you've always wanted to be in the sack.
Always remember to use a condom
Don't even think about having sex without one. You're going to want to make sure condoms are well within reach. A one-night stand can produce offspring. It can also result in sexually transmitted diseases. You could end up with a gift that lasts a lifetime if you don't wrap it up. Use a condom and enjoy yourself. The risk is not worth the reward if you want to play chicken with your life.
A one-night stand for the average person is more than likely something that only happens once. Make the most out of it. Have as much fun as possible. Don't hold back. But, be safe. Take the proper precautions and think about your health. There's no reason why anyone can't enjoy a fly by night encounter. You just don't want it to turn into a regrettable experience. You may never see this person again. Do your best to prevent pregnancy and disease. Not doing so may very well have serious consequences that are undoable.

There are many responsibilities that new and established small business owners have to juggle, but often times, seeking legal advice doesn't end up high on the priority list. Every small business owner, at any stage of business, should understand the importance of having good contracts in place.
There are four types of legal contracts that are essential for almost every business owner, including service contracts, subcontractor contracts, employee contracts, and vendor contracts. Without them, the risk to your business skyrockets during a legal dispute, which will cost you more time and money in the long run.
Service Contracts
Service contracts are agreements between your company and a customer or client who is hiring you to perform a service. This legal agreement details the nature of the job, a potential timeline, payment terms, what services are not included, and other important details both parties need to agree to throughout your working relationship.
Subcontractor Contracts
Many small businesses rely on subcontractors to help support their workload, but without a legal agreement in place, you could be setting yourself up for costly problems in the long run. These contracts are designed to establish your working relationship, what services the contractor will provide, how long he/she will have to complete the project, and how much you will pay. This type of contract should allow for both parties to explain, in detail, their expectations.
Employee Contracts
Employee contracts are similar to subcontractor agreements in that your small business enters into a contractual relationship with someone who is working for you. This contract should outline the type of employment offer. Is this a full time, part time, or temporary position? The employee's salary, benefits, and general responsibilities must also be clearly defined. You may also want to consider including a confidentiality clause, which prevents an employee from revealing any sensitive information about your company and an anti-solicitation clause so that the employee doesn't solicit your clients when he/she leaves your company.. An employee handbook and company policies should also be provided along with the contract.
Vendor Contracts
Any company or vendor that sells products or services to your business is considered a vendor. Usually, vendors provide their contracts, but many business owners don't take the time to read through their vendors' contracts thoroughly. What product or service are they providing? Are there early termination fees? What are the payment terms? Are there interest rates? Understanding your vendors' terms, negotiating them, so they are favorable to you, and including your words are not to be overlooked before signing on the dotted line.
Seeking out legal advice and representation can seem like a daunting and expensive task, especially when you are running a growing business, but the time and money it can save you if you do run into a legal dispute is well worth the investment. Your business is your most important asset and you should have properly drafted agreements to ensure that you are protecting it in the best way possible.

online recruiting questionaires
Replies to: online recruiting questionaires
GolfFather 1462 replies57 threads Senior Memberkeep in mind that coaches are bound by NCAA rules and as a sophomore, they can't respond back to inquiries from your son yet, not until Sept 1 of junior year.
Just want to add that NCAA rules change every year and that there were big changes this summer. For example, basketball coaches can now text and email recruits while they are sophomores, not just juniors anymore.
Also keep in mind that the NCAA has different rules for different sports. It is all very confusing.
More info here:
2011-2012 NCAA Recruiting Calendars - NCAA.org
HI Snowbeltmom,
"My son is a sophomore, and his sport is tennis. He has his top college choices listed on tennis recruiting along with the SAT II's and AP score results that he took last year.
He can see which coaches are following his tournament results. Should he also be contacting these coaches directly to show even more interest? If the answer is yes, when should he start? He is our oldest, and the high school tennis coach has never had a player play in college, so he is not going to be any help at all in this process"
Just an fyi - I notice in looking at your posts that your son was a freshman in fall 2010.
Clock starts ticking the moment they are a freshman, and they have 4 years to complete high school,
whether you are at public, private or homeschooled ( online).
New regulation by the NCAA and they are sticklers for it
Your posts struck a chord with me, as my nephew was a 5 star too
and left his college tennis team as school ( pre-med) and tennis were too much....

Not sure why you would be interested in my old posts, but yes, you are correct, we made an adjustment to my son's grade is school when he was prevented from applying to an academic program because he wasn't old enough despite being in the correct grade for the program. Now he will be old enough and eligible to apply this year.
He will now enter college when he is 18 with his age peers. He will not take 5 years to complete high school; we simply readjusted the "clock/grade level" to be on par with the traditional schooled kids grade level. He will be in high school for 4 years and will more than satisfy the NCAA course requirements in 4 years. The only bummer about adjusting the grade level is that there might be some colleges that won't accept the 5's he had on the AP exams taken when he was 14 yrs. old. Had we had a crystal ball, we would have had him wait a year to take those exams.
I know other kids in our area who have graduated from high school when they are 19 and they will be playing their sport all 4 years for their college team.
Sorry that your nephew couldn't balance school and tennis....I know many other pre-med kids who have....
Imafan, Here is the info regarding a gap year taken from tennis recruiting website (I don't see a definition of "gap year". I am not sure if the NCAA would consider it a gap year if the student was still attending school that 5th year:)
ETA: Before we reclassified my son, I did check with the NCAA. In my son's case, the only grade level he had was an internal one assigned by me, so my son's case is probably atypical. The way I understood it in my son's case was that as long as he completed the NCAA academic requirements in 4 years (ie. not taking 5 years to complete the courses) it was ok to reclassify - especially since there had been nothing official designating his grade level and he would be entering college at 18.)
"Prior to this year there was no rule preventing a player from taking a gap year, regardless of their reason for doing so. In April of 2010, the NCAA voted to reduce the grace period from one year to six months for Division I schools. Here is the exact wording of the Bylaw that is effective August 1, 2012:
184.108.40.206.2 Tennis
In tennis, a student-athlete who does not enroll in a collegiate institution as a fulltime student in a regular academic term within six months (or the first opportunity to enroll after six months have elapsed) after his or her high school graduation date or the graduation date of his or her class (as determined by the first year of high school enrollment or the international equivalent as specified in the NCAA Guide to International Academic Standards for Athletics Eligibility and based on the prescribed educational path in the student-athlete's country), whichever occurs earlier, shall be subject to the following:
(a) The student-athlete shall be charged with a season of intercollegiate eligibility for each calendar year after the six-month period has elapsed (or the next opportunity to enroll) and prior to full-time collegiate enrollment during which the student-athlete has participated in organized competition per Bylaw 14.02.9.
(b) After the six-month period, if the student-athlete has engaged in organized competition per Bylaw 14.02.9, on matriculation at the certifying institution, the student-athlete must fulfill an academic year in residence for each calendar year after the six-month period has elapsed (or the next opportunity to enroll) and prior to full-time collegiate enrollment during which the student-athlete has participated in such competition before being eligible to represent the institution in intercollegiate competition.
The goal of this legislation is to encourage continuity in the educational process and to level the playing field in college tennis based on age and experience. Some years back it was not uncommon in the higher levels of Division I tennis for a 24-year-old player to be competing against an 18-year-old player."
Hi Imafan,
"interesting new NCAA rule that I wasn't aware of. What about kids who reclassify (sometimes for academic and sometimes for personal/behavioral) and what about kids who graduate HS and then go for a PG year at a Prep school?"
It is confusing for tennis juniors and parents as the NCAA changed the rules mid game, and unfortunately many juniors got tripped up in the process.
(I think if you are going to change any rule, it should be done with enough notice)
The rule I am referring to is the 4 year rule, in that the clock starts ticking to do high school in 4 years, and not 5 years. Now, this is either interesting or I would say punitive as it only applies to Americans, not foreigners.
So, just to digress, you can have a 20 year old foreigner who comes onto a team and perhaps has to sit out his first year for eligibility reasons. His second year, he might only have one year of eligibility left. You are probably asking why would a coach waste a spot on a young man who only has one year of eligibility, well that young man might be ranked 300 in the world….. And that is a far cry from a blue chip junior. Check out Division 1 Mens tennis, 70% foreign now....Some state schools are 100% foreign too.
But, back to the American rules. You have 4 years, and the clock starts ticking with that first class the first day of school. If you fail a grade, go back a grade for behavioral issues, or want to kick up your TRN by going back, you will be penalized as you will lose eligibility. And you can't count the last 4 years of high school for eligibility either if you have been doing high school classes for 5 years. Definitely, unfair to the kid who is struggling in high school.
How does that hurt, well coaches would rather have a kid who can play all 4 years, unless you have a world ranking. Sad, but true.
What is the trick then.....
You should go back in 7th grade, or repeat 7th grade, and you will be fine.
Zero risk here.
While, the NCAA is busy scouring your kid's course selection to make sure it is up to par ( friend's son had some online courses disallowed – yep they checked every course!), they have foreigners coming into school who can not read or speak a word of English…..
The rules are very strange, unfair, and catching a lot of people by surprise.
I would think the NCAA would focus on revenue sports, but their compliance office must have time on their hands.
myluckydog 132 replies28 threads Junior MemberFill out the form because it's there and they are asking for it, but don't expect anything from it.
It will likely put you on their list to receive the general impersonal emails that they blast every so often.
Then email the coaches regularly with stats and any news you can think of reporting to them, and hope for some personal attention in response to the emails.
squidge 192 replies5 threads Junior MemberFilling out the questionnaire doesn't hurt in any way and some schools will require you to do it as some point in the recruiting process so they have you in "the system". How detailed the form is varies quite a bit by school. That said, do NOT rely on it. Follow it up immediately with a personal email with all your relevant academic and athletic stats (yes some will be dupes from the form, but they need to be in the personal email). I think the email should also include something about why you are interested in school "X" to show you have done some research. MOST IMPORTANTLY - follow that up with a phone call to the coach! If it's before your senior year they can't call you back, so be persistent in trying to get them on the phone. And the call needs to be made by the student, not the parent.
WAkid2013 24 replies3 threads Junior MemberD used a combination of 4 approaches: (1) Sent letter from Coach, Transcript, DVD to head coach/position coach/recruiting coach, (2) filled out school recruiting questionnaire, (3) emailed coaches with highlights link (Hudl/YouTube) and asked to meet during spring break or camps, (4) used GoBigRecruiting to send videolink. Her experience was that coaches did respond to 1, 2 and 3. And in the case of #4, many other schools "found" D and looked at D's grades/scores/video then emailed her directly.

Certified Yoga Teacher in February.
My yoga journey officially began in Cambodia in 2013. I had done weekly yoga classes at a local gym for a few years before but it wasn't until I started practicing at this amazing studio in Phnom Penh that I fell in love. I started going 3, then 4, then 5 days a week and by the time I got home to Sydney 3 months later I was hooked. I've been practicing every day since, and I don't think I will ever stop. I began doing acroyoga a few months ago and am blessed to be part of such a wonderful and loving community here in Sydney.Every day is an adventure I look forward to. Hope this journey never ends! .

Grand Canyon North Rim
Happy Birthday to Grand Canyon National Park
By Dixie Brunner and Mark Havnes
One of the greatest attractions in the world turns 100 years old this year. It was on Feb 26, 1919, when the Grand Canyon was designated a national park, becoming one of the great attractions for those seeking awe-inspiring vistas, remote adventures or spiritual solace.
Located in northwest Arizona just south of the Utah state line, the world's largest gorge has a North Rim and South Rim separated by the Colorado River that helped carve its wonders of canyons, cliffs and grottos.
"We are excited to share this milestone celebration with the millions of people who love, care for, and visit the Grand Canyon each year," said Christine Lehnertz, Park Superintendent. "The Centennial is a time for reflection on the past and inspiration for the future. We honor those who have called Grand Canyon home for thousands of years while building toward a future that is inclusive and reflective of our nation."
The Centennial celebration will offer events throughout the year including star parties, parades, living history exhibits, heritage days honoring American Indians, wildlife days and lectures. For a complete list of events visit: nps.gov/grca/get involved/2019-centennial-events.htm
The Grand Canyon is on everyone's bucket list! How do you describe one of the seven wonders of the world? The Canyon's matchless beauty and grandeur go far beyond the human ability to describe.
The best-kept secret of the Grand Canyon adventure is to experience it at the North Rim! It's a visitor's dream come true, with incredible views, improved hiking trails and great facilities. The North Rim's popularity is growing, but the opportunities to take in a quiet hike or a scenic vista alone are still there. When approaching the northern canyon access, you travel through the scenic Kaibab Plateau-North Rim Parkway, driving through the gentle green forests, which rise dramatically to 9,000 feet.
The Kaibab, which the Paiute Indians called "the mountain lying down," changes from life zones of the Sonoran desert zone at one extreme, to the frosty climate of the sub-alpine zone nearer the canyon.
Campgrounds and lodges are available at the park, but those things can wait – the Canyon is beckoning! At the first overlook you are rendered breathless with the panoramic view. The rugged, restless collection of colors and canyons, buttes and mesas, as well as wildlife and vegetation, stimulate emotions.
The Canyon offers a multitude of moods, appearing different with every passing minute of every single day. Those catching a sunset or sunrise are in for an inspiring sight.
With plenty of time and access to meditate on its awesome beauty, one leaves the Canyon feeling more bonded and in tune with the natural wonder. Treat yourself and Stay Parked Here at the Grand Canyon North Rim!
