By 7pm I reached the car park. A somewhat stooping determine had been there standing in the shadows. She approached my vehicle immediately. I opened the entranceway for her and lay with her at the backseat. After placed, she stated that I could fuck her as numerous times as I wish to, but no anal sex. Anal intercourse was uncomfortable and if it was not uncomfortable she did not mind at all, she continued. I didn't claim any such thing but reached for the dash kitchen and needed out the bottle of lubricant. That jelly listed here is for anal sex I told her. I given the container to her. She took the package and tried to open it. My tool stumbled on life. I could sense my penis straightening and forcing for space. I undid my trousers and exposed Sex Chat Live Cam my erect cock. I exposed the bottle and with my fingers I smeared the jelly all over my cock. I shared with her I'd put some jelly on her behalf butthole. Without a word she undid her trousers and leaned sideways. I smeared some jelly on her behalf butthole. I needed her give and told her to use placing a hand in to her asshole. However I could not see significantly as it was evening, I could just feel with my hand. Her finger slid in easily. I put my hand over her give to prevent her taking out her finger. As her finger stayed inside, I extend over to pull her tit. The idea of that old person sticking her hand up in her asshole really aroused me.
Back again to my car with the stuffed food and canned products, I extended smoking while she ate. I was wondering if she consented to fuck simply for some suggestions or for sexual pleasure. I did so wish that she'd be horny and enjoyed fucking. When she'd end consuming, I went to another secluded place of the town. Here, I want to fuck her once more before giving her off. I parked my vehicle then joined her at the backseat. She felt to know my intention. In the same way I was turning to her, she sat upright and began undoing her trousers. I undid mine too. I needed my cock an located it on her slit and it slid in easily. Her pussy was still wet from our first fuck. This time circular, I must labour. The joy of fucking her was not there anymore. My slightly numbed tool slid in Free Porn Chatting and out making her pussy very wet. She moaned every time my tool slid in. Her thighs dropped apart while she leaned back. Clearly she had cummed. She was panting as I extended to fuck her. Her pussy was soggy moist and had loosen it's grip on my cock. Sweat trickled down my forehead, I extended pumping her pussy. Eventually my difficult labour paid off. I taken out and jerked my cock. Ejaculation was generally enjoyable though a little sperm was ejaculated. Drops of sperm dotted her belly. We cleaned up and got dressed, I drove and slipped her at the junction to her home and informed her I'm going to be seeing her soon. I went house sensation acutely satisfied. My long wait to have her was eventually over. I may now set her at the trunk of my Adult Live Sex Cams mind.
There is a vintage widow who worked in your kitchen of a cafe. She was in her late 60s. She'd a reasonable appearance with a medium built. From the design of her sagging tits below her clothing, we are able to claim she should have a lovely big breasts in her younger days. I was attracted to her but we stayed as informal friends. She held her distance rendering it hard for me to establish a more intimate relationship with her. I wasted a lot of my free time attempting to tame her. As the occasions passed, I obtained hornier. I possibly could imagine romancing and anal fucking this widow, but possibilities remained bleak. My urge to anal fuck that previous widow pushed me to seek the previous bowl appliance in the street. I went about town from street to street attempting to discover her. She must be scavenging somewhere. A straw cap, over sized tee shirt and a loose extended shorts will be her trade mark. I recently required release a the pressure of my mounting urge. It had been late day that I caught view of the common figure crossing the street in a haste. She might be on an errand making her everyday recommendations from nice folks. Nice people used to produce her helpful doing simple errands for them then providing her tips. I drove going towards her direction. I left and waited. As she was approaching my vehicle, I moved out and given her $20, and at the same time shared with her I could be looking forward to her later in the evening. She nodded. Unfortunately for the next few days she avoided me. I
attempted to strategy her but she was cautious not to come across me. Following many efforts, I gave up. I shifted my focus to the widow functioning at the cafe. She was as challenging as she always was. Every time I produced an improve on her, she'd respectfully decline. It had been a cat and a mouse game. I preserved my patience. It absolutely was a wet week and a negative time for scavengers. Not much were found and a poor time for errand runners too. I noticed the familiar determine in her baggy shorts seeking shelter at the corner of the shop. She was bare handed. I walked up to her and gave her $50. She smiled at me. I thought she should have understood me. I requested her if she had taken her meal. Her answer amazed me. Sex Webcam Live Free She requested me to buy loaded food on her later in the evening. I shared with her m will be around as usual. I visited a drugstore to get a water based jelly lubricant. With this I believe I could anal fuck her and throw cum inside her asshole. I bought condoms too in the event I should need it. With that, I was looking towards tonight's adventure.
I presented my tool in position and pushed. It slid into her asshole easily. I produced a slow drive and take motion. I led her fingers to her pussy and created her understand that I wanted her to wipe her clit while I fuck her ass. Soon she was focusing on her clit scrubbing it in a round motion. From her fluid activities, I possibly could tell she will need to have masturbated Sex Chat Private regularly. Her asshole tightened clutching my cock as she was cumming. I was finding departed too. She achieved for my give and placed it on her behalf pussy. I extended scrubbing her pussy while she from time to time modified my give putting it at her chosen spot. Then her moment came, she created me insert two hands into her pussy. I could sense her pussy pulsated. My cock burst it's content. My mind went blank, all feelings were focused at my cock. When the ecstatic sounds of ejaculation was around, my dick melted and believed numb. I withdrew from her and cleaned my cock. As I dressed up I shared with her I'd go to get the stuffed food. When I departed the car, my hips felt weak. I needed my steps slowly lest I stumble.

Warren G. Harding, Private Letters, and Presidential Reputation
As my students will know from my (seemingly endless) supply of stories about Warren G. Harding, I've written Dead Last: The Public Memory of Warren G. Harding's Scandalous Legacy in which I examine his reputation as the worst president in U. S. History. One of my arguments is that, in part, Harding's reputation was damaged by the lack of historical records. Without records, historians had difficulty examining his life and presidency. In the absence of papers, lots of speculation took place. The story of Harding's papers is fascinating. Long believed destroyed by Florence Harding, in the 1960s the Harding Memorial Association released his papers. The available papers attracted historians leading to a wave of scholarship on Harding. Francis Russell, one of the historians and journalist that descended on Marion and Columbus, Ohio, to do research came upon the letters that Harding wrote to Carrie Phillips, long rumored to have been his mistress. A very public and ugly debate, including legal action, took place over the ownership and use of the letters. Eventually, a judge sealed the letters. However, tidbits from the letters have leaked over the years. A couple years ago James Robenalt discovered a microfilm copy of the letters from which he wrote The Harding Affair: Love and Espionage during the Great War. Robenalt's most startling argument was that Phillips spied for Germany during World War I.
This month the Library of Congress releases Harding's letter to Phillips, creating renewed interest in Harding's personal life. Jordan Michael Smith wrote "The Letters that Warren G. Harding's Family Didn't Want you to See" for the New York Times Magazine. Gayle Collins brought up Harding and his letters in a recent piece in the Times on presidential reputation and rankings. People Magazine got into the act, reporting that "President Warren Harding's Long-Lost Raunchy Letters Go Viral".
Once again Harding's private life is dominating his reputation, this time aided by social media and the internet. Documents long-ago sealed up and tucked away can now be seen reproduced online. What impact will this have on Harding's reputation? Not much, other than to remind the public of its fascination with the private lives of presidents.

Contact. Human contact. Body to body. Soul to soul. We crave touch, affection, and intimacy from one another. A part of us will die without it. Take a look around and see how many wounded souls there are, better yet, how many you feel.
We can plainly see on all social media how people arereaching out in the wrong ways for love and attention. This online world we have built is phenomenal but it is destroying so many of us. I feel the disconnect everywhere I go and through the people I meet. It is heart breaking to me.
I have reached out to physically touch people and emotionally help them only to be looked at in fear, suspicion and/or doubt. When will all this distrust end? We need to learn how to love one another no matter the religion, race, job, etc. This connects with labels once again. Shed this all and you will see a drastic change.
Here is what I have experienced in my life. How you react or respond to others is the ultimate decision you can ever make. Becoming aware of your actions and words will change your life. Trying to understand a fellow humans experience will give you vast expansion in how you view things.
Every person you meet has gone through something and a simple word, touch on the hand or if you dare, a hug, can make such an impact on them. I have been both a giver and a receiver and nothing feels better than human contact.
This disconnect leads to people forming relationships simple because they are lonely and staying together because they are terrified to be alone or going back to someone that is toxic.
We are social beings and cannot hide from the fact that we need others and we need touch. Lets see how you feel when you think of those moments when; a child holds your hand; a friend greets you with a great big warming embrace; a stranger asks you how your day is and lightly touches your arm; someone that is simply in your presence in the time of need; your partner touches the small of your back, hugs you when you're feeling down, kisses you when the passion arises.
What comes with contact? Compassion and love for a fellow human being and I mean a genuine for everything that surrounds us. It truly seems love is the answer to everything andit is what makes the world go round. If we learn how to love ourselves it will only blossom and grow into something more wonderful than we can imagine.

My client said "Never" and laughed and laughed and laughed when I asked her "Have you ever pretended you were a spy?" I have. I wasn't trying to get my client to play 'spy' with me (although play is important too.) I was making a point about imagination. I encourage cultivating imagination in children because children who have an imagination are often more resilient. Being able to picture a different outcome or a different life can be hopeful. If a person is bullied or sad but can picture a scenario where that is not the case – this is hopeful. It bodes well if a child can picture situations where they are cared about and valued. Kids can even practice social skills and building relationships using imagination. (What? Julie you come up the craziest things you think.) Think about it as practice like role playing or imagining a situation in your head like adults do all the time.
Unfortunately, I think this is a skill people can lose as they become adults. People would think I'm stranger than I am if I spoke to an imaginary friend all the time. However, the ability to imagine what ifs and the ability to imagine being loved or being happy or achieving your dreams – can be so very beneficial.
My advice to you is to practice using your imagination. It will be so worth it.

Bouncing Off the Walls (Wednesday, June 2, 2004)
Ugh. Why are contractors either late or don't show up? Claire came for lunch, so that was nice. I didn't really do any work today, so that sort of sucks — at least for work. I went and saw The Day After Tomorrow with Elaine this afternoon, which was interesting, if not a very good movie. After that, we went to Don Pablo's, but I didn't have much of an appetite, so I just watched her eat her dinner, and just had a side of refried beans. Of course, my stomach is protesting even that small amount. I got back around 9:00, and I've just been waiting to hear from Claire since then. I gave her a call about ten minutes ago, and she's done with Justin for the night, so with any luck, I'll be seeing her here pretty soon.

Oil Wells in the Eagle Ford Shale: The Extraction Process (Glossary of Terms)
Fracking the Eagle Ford Shale:
Big Oil and Bad Air on the Texas Prairie
An eight-month investigation [1]
by InsideClimate News, the Center for Public Integrity and The Weather Channel
Amine unit: removes H2S and CO2 from natural gas
Compressor unit/compressor station: used to pressurize natural gas so it can be moved through pipelines.
Dehydrator: removes water from natural gas
Drill rig: a machine that contains the equipment to drill the wellbore—the hole in the ground that goes into the shale formation.
Drilling mud or drilling fluid: a mixture of a liquid base (water, oil or synthetic chemicals), clays and chemicals, used to lubricate and cool the drill bit as it creates the wellbore. The mud also transports the drill cuttings to the surface and helps control pressure within the well. Compressed air may be used instead of mud.
Flare: used to burn off excess gases. Flaring is a form of air pollution control, but less effective than capturing the gas in pipelines. It can be used as a safety device, to prevent the buildup of dangerous gases.
Flaring also produces pollutants such as soot and dioxins. Sustained flaring of the associated natural gas from oil wells aggravates climate change and wastes the methane that could be used as an energy source.
Flowback: the mixture of drilling mud, fracking fluids, produced water, oil, gas, salts, heavy metals, and natural gas liquids that comes out of a well after fracking. Flowback contains toxic compounds that must be treated or disposed of.
Frac tanks, or flowback holding tanks: open or closed-top tanks used to hold the liquids from flowback. May be used in place of open pits.
Frac pumps: used to pump fracking fluids into the well
Fracking or frac'ing: See Hydraulic fracturing. Fracking occurs during the well completion phase, when the well is prepped for sustained production.
Fracking fluid: Composed of mostly water, with small percentages of proppants and chemicals. The chemicals used are a mixture of benign products (guar gum) and toxic compounds (carcinogens like benzene). Some of the chemicals are harmful at concentrations of parts per million or parts per billion when released into the water or air. Many types of fracking fluids are used, with proprietary compositions, and the technology is constantly evolving. Although the chemicals make up a tiny fraction of the fracking fluids (sometimes less than 1 percent), the overall volumes are so high that a single well often requires tens of thousands of gallons of chemicals.
Generators: usually powered by diesel. Needed to provide electricity for lights, hydraulic pumps, etc. because most well pads are in remote locations off the grid. Once a well is in the production phase, electricity is often routed to the well pad, and the generators are removed.
Green completions, or reduced emissions completions (RECs): techniques and equipment used to reduce VOC emissions by up to 95% by capturing the gases from flowback.
Heater treater: removes water, liquid hydrocarbons and other impurities from natural gas.
Horizontal or directional drilling: an advanced drilling method where the wellbore is first drilled vertically, then gradually turned until it's sandwiched within the shale layer. A horizontal well can go on for more than a mile within the shale.
Hydraulic fracturing: an oil and gas stimulation method first introduced commercially in the 1940s, when water and sand were pumped underground to free up tightly-bound oil and gas. The process has a evolved a lot since then. For increased efficiency, companies experimented by pumping down brine, diesel, and mixtures of chemicals.
The type of fracking used today—high volume hydraulic fracturing—is quite different from the 1940's technique: there's a lot more pressure, greater use of chemicals and much higher amounts of fracking fluids, up to millions of gallons per well. That's because many wells are created via horizontal drilling, and the deeper, longer wells require more liquids to fracture. The combination of high-volume fracking and horizontal drilling is responsible for the recent shale boom.
The words fracking or fracturing, as used in this series, refers to the modern high-volume hydraulic fracturing technique used in the Eagle Ford and other shale plays.
Natural gas liquids: a mix of hydrocarbons present in natural gas and oil wells. These compounds, which include ethane, propane, butane, pentane and hexane, are used as feedstock in chemical plants and refineries. The larger hydrocarbons in natural gas liquids (mostly pentanes and above) are collectively referred to as condensate.
Natural gas wells: wells that extract the raw natural gas that comes out of the ground, which contains methane (the target compound) and sometimes includes various impurities: water, carbon dioxide, VOCs, H2S, natural gas liquids and condensate. The relative amounts of these impurities varies by formation and well. "Sour" wells have higher levels of H2S. Gas wells are considered "dry" if they contain only methane, or only methane and water without the other impurities.
Oil wells: wells that produce oil and natural gas liquids. Most oil wells in the Eagle Ford contain oil, gas and natural gas liquids. Operators will decide what to do with each type of product depending on market forces. Natural gas liquids are used in petrochemical plants and refineries. Due to the low price of natural gas, some operators will burn off (flare) the associated gas from oil wells because it's cheaper than building pipelines to collect the gas.
Open (waste) pits: used to hold liquids during flowback. Some operators are switching from pits to frac tanks, which emit fewer pollutants.
Produced water: naturally-occurring water from the shale formation that flows out of the well after fracking. Produced water contains salts, heavy metals, leached minerals, dissolved solids, naturally-occurring radiation and other toxic compounds.
Proppants: used to hold open fissures opened by fracking in the shale. Proppants may consist of sand, ground up walnut shells, ceramic beads or other similarly-sized particles.
Shale: a type of sedimentary rock. Because oil and gas are tightly bound within the shale, operators almost always need hydraulic fracturing or another stimulation method to increase the shale's permeability so oil and gas can flow out of the well.
Trucks: used to deliver drilling and fracking equipment, water, drilling mud, and fracking fluid chemicals to and from the well pad. The number of trucks on a pad depends on what's going on—during fracking, there may be hundreds of trucks traveling to and from a pad.
Well pad: a central location for the wells and equipment. A well pad may be several acres in size. Operators often place multiple wells on a single well pad.

Yeah, something seems to be corrupted. A reset would be your best bet.

ya, id like to know what the heck caused it, this was pretty random

This usually happens when you have too many apps. I have around 200 to 250 when it would start doing that. I have 4 new phones before I figured out what was causing it. If you wipe the phone don't put all the apps back on. Just put them on as you need them. I am hoping this is fixed in ICS but who knows.
The wipe is the only solution that works because you can't get in long enough to unistall apps to go below the threshold.
i have less than 100 on it right now, i save my tablet for the massive amount of apps and games, Ive noticed that android pre 4.0 gets realy slowed down by massive amounts of apps being installed. My tablet has 4.0 and it has no problem with 300+ apps. but as an update, my phone still hasnt rebooted yet since it last successfuly booted so i think i'm making progress. How long does a factory reset usualy take so I know how much time to expect if I have to do it
I think it takes less than 15 Minutes but then you have to reset up your phone from scratch.
The reset itself will take less than 10 minutes. Setting things back up is the long part. Like installing apps and setting up your homescreen.
ya I know, contacts doesnt take too long to load from google. I just need to be able to make calls and txts for work which I have to be at in about an hour and a half
also so far no reboot, I think it is fine now. thanks for all the suggestions and quick responses guys.

Location: The Bight, Norman Island
Today we woke up bright and early in the beautiful Peter Island. As many of us began getting ready for the long day, we were already underway to our dive site. We had a great breakfast of cereal and fruit in the open ocean on our way to the Rhone. The Rhone is one of several old wrecks in the BVI. This was once a royal mail ship that sank off the point of Salt Island. Everyone on Tropical had the amazing opportunity to dive at this wreck. On this dive, many of us saw a reef shark, loads of amazing fish, and even a sea turtle. Being the dive boat for sail side B all other boats dove off our boat and had an awesome time. The Vegas of the boat took, and passed, the sailing exam and went on their first open water dive as certified divers. After a delicious lunch of Ramen, we went on a small hike on Salt Island. After walking through what once used to be people's houses we hiked to the top of an island to an amazing view. Some of us sat and admired the view while others explored the very top of the cliffs. One done with our small adventure we headed back to the boat, cleaned up, and set off to The Bight on Norman Island. Upon arrival, we showered and had a dance party and are now waiting for another delicious meal of broccoli and cheddar pasta. Even though it may have been the last of the dives for this trip, it was the most amazing. See you soon.

My Approach to Helping
Transitions (often unexpected), new or ongoing medical illnesses, and losses of all kinds can be disorienting. Yet, when prior perspectives and ways of coping no longer relieve the stress of such changes, these challenges can open the way to new insight. This, in turn, opens new possibilities for moving with what life brings.
There are strategies and skills that may complement the process, but primarily there is the work of hearing yourself-- in this current situation, right now-- in the presence of a non-judging other. This is where the process begins, and next steps become clearer from this position.
Change is real, new directions are possible. Wherever you are, begin.

Tom Denton scored twice as the Spireites eased to a comfortable 5-1 victory over Basford United in the FA Trophy. Lee Shaw scored his first goal for the club with Alex Kiwomya and Jonathan Smith also on target.
Martin Allen handed new signing Alfie Beestin his Chesterfield debut after signing the midfielder on loan from Doncaster Rovers. There was also a return to the starting line-up for another loanee, striker Jordan Hallam.
Out of the side went Curtis Weston, who has been struggling with a tight hamstring and Levi Amantchi, who was named among the substitutes.
The first chance of the match fell to the Spireites when Jordan Hallam laid the ball off to Kiwomya whose shot was straight at keeper Kieran Preston.
The first effort from the visitors came when James Reid saw his shot deflected wide by Bradley Barry.
Chesterfield took a 12th minute lead when Barry's low cross found Kiwomya inside the area and he fired low past Preston.
Denton headed wide after meeting Barry's free-kick while at the other end, Reid put a 20-yard effort wide.
Hallam went close to extending Chesterfield's lead in the 25th minute when he struck Preston's left-hand post with a free-kick.
Denton headed wide before adding a second goal in the 34th minute. The tall striker dived to head in from close range after Jonathan Smith's header from a Beestin cross came back off a post.
Shaw looked for an opening after chasing a long ball, advancing into the area, but his shot was deflected wide.
The woodwork was struck again a few minutes before the break when Haydn Hollis headed against the bar.
Shaw put a shot on the turn over the bar and then, seconds before the half-whistle was blown, he fired in a low shot which was saved by Preston.
Shaw had another effort saved early in the second half before Smith put the Spireites further ahead in the 53rd minute, finding the net from 20 yards out.
Shaw (58) made it 4-0 after running at the defence and firing in a shot which Preston got a hand to but couldn't keep out.
Three minutes later, Denton scored his second goal of the match and Chesterfield's fifth, tapping in at the near post from substitute Ify Ofoegbu's low cross.
Matt Thornhill fired over from a free-kick and then Liam Bateman saw his deflected shot come back off the bar before Basford did score a consolation goal.
The visitors struck in the 73rd minute when substitute Zac Goodson found some space and beat Callum Burton with a low shot.
Barry blocked Courey Grantham's effort late on while Ofoegbu tested Preston with a shot in stoppage time.
Spireites: Burton, Barry, Binnom-Williams, Hollis, Evans, Smith (Rowley 55), Beestin, Kiwomya, Shaw (Ofoegbu 60), Hallam, Denton (Sharman 65).

By Catherine Kastleman, Program Coordinator, Research Translation Core
Here's some good news: as of 2014, over half of all participants in clinical trials funded by the NIH are female, whereas in the past females have been largely under-represented in such trials. Due to the increased enrollment of women in recent years, scientists are beginning to get a better grasp on the differential effects of sex on disease.[1] But what about preclinical research in animals and cell cultures? Unfortunately, there are still far fewer females than males in these research studies overall. This means that toxicological research may be missing important sex-based differences in how toxic chemicals affect the body, as well as how they affect the determination of sex itself.
Those important, sex-based differences were a focus of the keynote lecture and subsequent research talks at the Integrated Toxicology and Environmental Health Program (ITEHP) Spring Symposium at Duke on Friday, March 24. The symposium, entitled "Developmental Neurotoxicity: Sex Differences in Toxic Effects and Toxic Effects on Sex Differences." The symposium was co-sponsored by the Duke University Superfund Research Center.
Margaret McCarthy, PhD, of the University of Maryland Medical Center, delivered the keynote lecture, "Neuroepigenetics, Neuroinflammation, and Male Vulnerability." McCarthy discussed the relatively new trend towards conducting mechanistic studies of microglia, important, non-neuronal cells in the brain, in order to understand toxic effects on the brain. She emphasized that current research continues to support the notion of a "plastic" brain; researchers cannot specifically characterize a brain as either "female" or "male" because of the mosaic-like (versus blended) pattern in distinct regions of the brain. These regions are not uniform across sex and vary in their responses to chemical exposure.
The next speaker was Heather Patisaul, PhD, from North Carolina State University, who encouraged toxicologists to consider the effects of diet and feeding method on study animals as sources of stress and exposure that could impact study results. For example, many lab animals are fed a diet high in soy, which can be a source of estrogenic chemicals called soy isoflavones. Feeding by gavage –a process during which lab rats are force fed through a tube—may also cause significant levels of stress to the animal and can interfere with the observation of effects from chemical exposures. Both the type of feed and method of feeding can impact the outcome of studies on developmental neurotoxicity, and the impacts may be variable based on the sex of the animals.
Duke Superfund Center Project 2 investigator Heather Stapleton, PhD, followed up on this topic with a discussion of her research on endocrine-disrupting flame retardant chemicals. Her research has shown that certain flame retardant compounds differentially accumulate in the placenta based on fetal sex.
Other speakers included University of Rochester researcher Deborah Cory-Slechta, PhD, who discussed the transgenerational effects of lead and prenatal stress on neurodevelopment and Cynthia Kuhn, PhD, of Duke University, who described her research on sex differences and addiction neurobiology.
Dr. Edward Levin, director of the DUSRC Training Core and NBTA investigator, wrapped up with the final talk on developmental nicotine exposure and pesticide exposure, and gave closing remarks on the next steps for understanding neurotoxic responses during development, pointing towards research on previously under-studied toxicants like PAHs as one possible future direction for research. The symposium was well-attended and all presentations were followed with stimulating questions and discussion among presenters, faculty, students, and staff.
The Integrated Toxicology and Environmental Health Program holds environmental health-related seminars every Friday at noon in Field Auditorium at Duke's Environment Hall.

Fake and impure honeys have become commonplace in the market today, despite many people's preference for 100% bees' honey. The problem with this is, unfortunately, fake and impure honey can be passed off as pure very easily. When viewed on the shelf, it is very hard to pick out what is pure, and what is not. There are, however, a few ways to figure this out. Generally honey is adulterated by adding a syrup of jiggery.
Here are a few tests to check whether the honey is pure.
- Honey does not dissolve in water. Drop a teaspoon of honey in a cup of water and mix it gently, wait for a few minutes. Pure honey should remain as a solid lump at the bottom of the cup.
- Honey should not get absorbed when dropped on blotting paper.
- Pour honey on a piece of white cloth and wash it off. Pure honey does not leave any stains behind
- Ants don't get attracted to honey. Due to its viscocity, ants must be able to walk over honey without any trouble
- Dip a cotton ear bud in honey and light it with a match stick. Pure honey will burn while honey adulterated with water will not

The June 1982 button says "November BEATS April", and truer words were never spoken by any work of Berkeley campaign art.
The massive April 1981 loss had hit BCA extremely hard. The pattern of alternating victories and defeats every two years appeared to offer no realistic chance of a progressive City Council majority. People did not know what to do.
Except for Marty Schiffenbauer, who saved the day and kept electoral hopes alive.
Marty personally drafted and collected nearly all the signatures for an Initiative Charter Amendment to move Berkeley's city election from April of odd-numbered years to November of even-numbered years, when it would be consolidated with the state general election.
This change to November would increase the turnout of students, tenants, Democrats, and low-income voters, giving BCA candidates a major advantage over ABC/BDC.
While BCA supported Marty's initiative on the June 1982 ballot, and the conservatives opposed it, neither side appreciated the dramatic impact this election date change would have. (There was not even a campaign poster for Marty's measure; just the button.)
Following a mild campaign, Berkeley voters passed the initiative and April elections were history. Berkeley's next municipal ballots would be cast on November 2, 1982.
Two years after that, a very different looking City Council would present a special commendation to Marty

One of the key drivers in the global spread of Japanese food, Masaharu Morimoto restaurants are located in Mexico City, Bangkok, Las Vegas, Dubai and beyond
Chinchikurin, Hiroshima
Hiroshima, my hometown, is famous for its okonomiyaki (savoury Japanese pancakes) and there are countless eateries that pay homage to this fabulous dish. I think Chinchikurin is one of the best. They've recently made their way to the US and I hope that they will continue to spread this 'taste of home' widely abroad.
Favourite dish: The okonomiyaki is a must-try, but they also have really good spicy dipping noodles.
Ginza Kyubey, Okyo
In my opinion, this is one of the best sushi restaurants in Japan – it's outstandingly good. While it's a prestigious and traditional restaurant, you do not feel compelled to follow customary sushi eating rules. And the ambience is very warm and welcoming. If you ever stay in Tokyo, go to Ginza and try this place, just make sure you make a reservation.
Favourite dish: Everything I've tried.
Morimoto Napa, Napa
Napa is known for its great food and wine and it attracts foodies from far and wide. I feel flattered that my restaurant and food is well received there, and it's one of my favourite places, too. When I created the menu for Morimoto Napa, I wasn't necessarily trying to match it with wine varietals, I just did what I always do, which is to try to capture the characteristics, the culture, and the history of the location and absorb them into my dishes. And as a result, they just happen to go great with wine. Napa is a special place for me. It keeps giving me new inspirations.
Favourite dish: Tuna Pizza is one of my signature dishes, and this approachable dish is suitable for everyone, even those who have never tried raw fish before.
I would love to try Kamimura in the ski town of Niseko in northern Hokkaido, Japan. It offers contemporary French cuisine inspired by the region's natural beauty and local ingredients.

Aum Namo Narayanaya Maharaj
Respectful Pranam
So glad to see representatives of the various religious groups converge in a spirit of light heartedness and mutual well wishing. By visiting places of worship of other faiths, tremendous respect is expressed which exponentially promotes religious harmony and tolerance. I am so proud that the Durban Centre has symbols of the other major religious groups of the back of the shrine, which shows how welcoming we are in our most sacred places.
Members of the Divine Life Society Pietermaritzburg host free yoga lessons once a week, which a few members from the sub centre attend.

This past weeks work has been chaotic and spread out over too many areas. I am still working by making wide sweeping loops over subjects rather than focusing and pursuing directed goals and need to address this.
I spent some more time this week with the Isadora soft wear. There are some areas I can't seem to get to function and am checking through to see if this is down to using the demo version so all the functions may not be enabled or if I do not understand the required process.
Also tried out the newer version of Korsakow this week, but got stuck as it was conflicting with the Credo soft wear, which seems to have dropped some of its files when installed and placed folders in random areas on the computers memory and now isn't accessing them properly.
I am aiming to use the older version of Korsakow for the project using the pedometer and daily film clips. It has been quite hard to film each day and to wear the pedometer. There have been a couple of days where for one reason or another I haven't managed to get some video. I am trying to work out how to include these days where I am left with an amount of steps taken but no film. I have a couple of weeks left of filming left as I set the time frame of August for the project. I hope to start editing the clips and resizing them for Korsakow next week. Hoping this process will help start to develop a visual style that Andy recommended I start to create during the online chat I had with him.
Photoshop is behaving erratically, taking a long time to find files and shutting down unexpectedly in the middle of a process. Think there may either be a virus on the computer, or that the mother board is going as I am having trouble shutting the computer down and a having to resort to pulling the plug on it. This failing to shut down has been my experience with my previous computer when on its failing.
I went back to look at the different video file types to see if I can figure a way of working round the loss of quality when saving video clips. Was trying out different video file types on Microsoft slide share as a possible work round to Korsakow. Found that it has to be windows media or it won't play… so the camcorder's file type will work for any project based on Microsoft slide share. Initially I was able to save video files from the camcorder as movie files… but not any more. Going through these work arounds this week is confirming that the computer isn't doing too well.
There is the apple to work on but again this means a new learning curve and it has a lot of preinstalled soft wear so unless I remove some of those programmes I won't have room to put on things like Photoshop or Credo.
This brings about that I need to clear the decks some what to prepare for September and try to resolve these conflicting issues and sharpen my basic understanding of the appropriate technologies to go forward to complete the MA.
Did manage to get to the DLI and got to see Sumit Sarkar's – Ananta
Have been reading Drew Leder's 'The Absent Body.' (University of Chicago Press Cicago and London. 1990)
He states:
'…my body is indicated as the orientational center in relation to which every thing else takes its place.'
(Chapter 1 p.22)
Also started to print the autumn issue of Mail Art One. The printer is jamming.
Over all it's felt quite a frustrating week progress wise, but the trade off hopefully will be a more disciplined methodology and out look and well worth the effort. Hope to outline the timetable Andy requested next week when I have a better idea of the way forward with the different areas and issues that are cropping up.
I have been looking some more in to the idea of combining real time video with animation and looking at available motion capture soft wear. Simi motion tracking has been the starting point.
It would mean a considerable investment and also there would be the need to hire or buy at least 2 high speed cameras.
There is some other motion tracking soft wear available through Troika Ranch that is interesting me.
Hand drawn rotoscoping is still a possibility that I'd like to explore:
But I am concerned about the time commitment involved to creating a piece this way and if it is achievable for me.
I am currently assembling the spring issue of Mail Art and hope to be posting out later this week.
Below are some Credo stills from small animations I've been trying out over the Easter weekend.
This week has proved quite a challenge and quite draining. But have managed to keep looking in to rotoscoping and Photoshop and try the Credo soft wear down load a little more. So the ideas here are not as clearly expressed as I would like but am posting so as not to loose the thread.
At the start of the week was reading 'The body in Society' Alexandra Howson.
Howson puts forward the idea of bodies being used in society as:
'…a natural symbol which different societies use to make classifications between what they consider to be pure / polluted, clean / dirty.'
(P80. Chapter 3: The Civilized Body.)
Have been thinking about this in relation to virtual life bodies. The virtual world could be seen to create the ultimately acceptable human body in society, a body free of leaking, spewing, and aging.
I am interested in this idea of how we present ourselves through our real life movements and the differences between our physical real life movement and our virtual life movements where we can make different choices about self representation. Also the idea that virtual reality holds out of non corrupting or aging bodies. How might we be changed if not challenged by the constantly changing physicality and constraints of our bodies? If we can to some extent represent ourselves in this virtual body to form friendships and interact with others in online communities. Will we feel the discrepancy between physical and virtual greater? Will we become more ill at ease, dissatisfied and uncomfortable with our physical bodies?
So using the Credo down load I have been trying out the idea of combining video and animation together and am looking into the idea of creating a piece that takes place in real time. Looking online have found some more free soft wear trials that may be helpful with this but want to get a little more familiar with the downloads already have on board before jumping into undertaking to learn more.
Used the programming already provided by Credo to make the figure walk. I am still in the learning process of learning how to programme figures with Credo.
This week I have been trying out Credo's Interactive Life Forms and Dance Forms soft wear trials.
This soft wear offers the technique for rotoscoping. This is an option to generate an animated sequence by aligning the palette figure against a sequence of key video or photo stills.
Learning the to use the soft wear is a bit of a hurdle as my computer seem to be struggling and keeps shutting the application unexpectedly.

Alone, op. 26 (1931)
DVD: absolut MEDIEN, Stummfilm Edition 868; soundtrack rerecorded in 2004 by Basel Sinfonietta, reconstructed and directed by Mark Fitz-Gerald
The most exceptional moment in Shostakovich's score for the film Alone, released in 1931, comes in the middle of the missing sixth reel, when he deploys the theremin to illustrate a near-fatal snowstorm. I apologize for the clipping in this extract and I'll try to pull a higher quality one later, but it's a haunting effect and, from Shostakovich, a surprising one, since as far as I know he never touched the electronic instrument in his concert music:
Despite this and a bit of overtone-singing used to set the movie's first Central Asian scene, it's not an adventurous score. The composer makes some pointed musical jokes and, as the story progresses, provides music of increasing dramatic weight, but for the most part he writes in a straightforward and songful style that he hadn't used much to this point. In fact the entire film — Grigori Kozintsev's and Leonid Trauberg's first since New Babylon and a project that essentially reunited that film's creative team — features some witty and thoughtful visual storytelling but entirely lacks New Babylon's tone of anarchic satire.
Yelena Kuzmina, who as the salesgirl in New Babylon was last seen laughing bitterly in the face of her own execution, here plays an idealistic, freshly graduated teacher assigned to teach the Altai people near Siberia's border with Mongolia. Thinking of her fiance and of material comfort, she initially lodges a formal protest, but after some carrying on she embraces her mission to educate and modernize the isolated herders' children. It's a plot loaded with propaganda value and racial condescension, the latter a recognizable cousin to attitudes towards native or foreign people in Western movies, then and now. (Via PostBourgie, this "remix" video, taking Avatar as the latest big-budget example, mashes up several mostly recent, mostly apt examples of stories in which a downtrodden, exotic population requires an American or British hero; Alone fits somewhere on this same spectrum, although Kuzmina most certainly does not "go native".) Political elements specific to the filmmakers' times are present too: A late subplot in which the village's backwards-thinking Bey tries to sell their communal sheep to a cattle dealer explicitly (and, in hindsight, chillingly) ties into the USSR's campaign to liquidate the kulaks. At any rate, Kuzmina challenges both the Bey and the lazy Russian president of the village soviet, is left for dead by the cattleman in the theremin blizzard, and her grave situation becomes a cause célèbre both for her Altai charges and for the populace back home.
Shostakovich's score for the early scenes is lighthearted and brimming with cheerful songs. In the opening sequence, in which Kuzmina wakes up into the bustle of city life, a chirpy tune (reused later in his career) mingles in a collage of birdsong and street noises. The film was shot at least initially as a silent feature, with synchronized sound added late in production; this scene among others shows the filmmakers making thoughtful and inspired use of then-dubious Soviet film technology. I watched the film with the DVD edition's 2004 rerecording of the score by Mark Fitz-Gerald (here is a good interview with him on the subject) but I sampled the also-included original audio track, and despite dire quality the original blends the elements of that scene more effectively:
In another cheeky early sequence, Kuzmina, having received her marching orders, wistfully looks at china in a shop window, which operatically entices her to stay. The scene establishes one of a few major visual motifs in the film (clocks, teapots, a flayed horsehide drying on the steppes) and leads into another striking visual: A loudspeaker, not so much a symbol as a recurring character in itself, whose anonymously stentorian voice exhorts her to think of her duty to society:
Shostakovich's music becomes more somber and Asiatic once Kuzmina is deployed to the Altai, with gruffly supercilious bassoon music for the Bey and the village soviet. The early tunefulness returns occasionally in callbacks within the more thickly dramatic score; the music throws out some barbed humor, too, most notably in a curdled reprise of the song "Life Will Be Beautiful", played as Kuzmina observes the sleeping village soviet and his defeated-looking wife. Note the teapot, a symbol throughout the film of material pleasures:
The music reaches its apex of drama and complexity in the snowstorm sequence — unfortunately the footage itself was lost in the bombing of Leningrad during World War II, pushing the film's most action-oriented scene offscreen — and, after hitting the expected dramatic notes in the poor villagers' showdown with their negligent leaders, feeds into a tremulously ecstatic finale as Kuzmina is flown back home, vowing to return.
Kozintsev and Trauberg understandably eschew the barely-controlled chaos of their previous film in assembling this one. Although it mostly lack's New Babylon's rapid-fire montage, there is liveliness and wit in Alone's editing. The arc of the story, though, despite some gestures towards bitterness and character complexity, is too slow and too compromised by the demands of propaganda (John Riley's book notes that the directors' original concept had the despairing Kuzmina commit suicide) to function as a good narrative.
The absolut MEDIEN DVD is a fine production — the packaging and notes are in German but the disc includes English subtitles and, contra my expectations, plays on my decidedly non-European DVD player. As noted above it includes both new and archival soundtracks, with better sound than I managed to extract in my excerpts above, and as an unexpected bonus the disc includes the short animated film The Silly Little Mouse, also with Shostakovich music. I could only wish that Alone itself were more unequivocally worthy.

Home theater - music visualiser on tv possible?
fredzfrog posted a topic in Audio & DisplayG'day folks! Long time no see! Anyhoo, i've finally grown up and gotten myself a propper home theater setup (it was cheap on ebay :p) Anyhoo, i've gotten a vinyl addiction, and am greatly enjoying the frustrations that come with diligently cleaning and flipping the disks, but other than the audio output, I need something a little bit more. What I'd like is a music visualiser box that has an rca input and output, then plugs into my TV to show some sweet sweet visualisations. Anyone have any ideas on where I'd find such a thing? Something new like this.. But not super expensive.. https://youtu.be/LVF-TDITMBA

Chi Kung/Qi Gong 氣功
Chi Kung translates as "Energy Work":
Chi meaning Energy, Breath, Air, Nature's Force; Kung meaning Work, Practice, Power.
Chi Kung is an internal martial art – an internal breathing art. It is a meditative art that combines physical exercise and mental focus, utilising movement and postures with specialised deep breathing techniques. Practising Chi Kung will raise your energetic vibration, as you do this you improve your physical health, lift and balance your emotions and clear your mind so that you think more positively.
Chi Kung is practiced to recapture and build up our universal essence – the Chi life force. The Chi brings new vitality to our internal organs by balancing the energies in the body. As the internal Chi is raised it attracts and cultivates positive external chi around us. As a result the whole energetic system and consequently the immune system is revitalised producing strength and a feeling of well being. Regular Chi Kung practitioners rarely have to see a doctor as their bodies and minds are more balanced and brighter.
As a Chi Kung practitioner you will gradually raise your vibration and eventually become aware of your own Chi, Qi, Ki, Prana. This is achieved by breathing in a deep, smoothly controlled, internalised way. As the Chi becomes apparent the Chi Kung sequences help to energetically balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain and body this will help you to become balanced and supported in the different areas and aspects of your life.
Practicing Chi Kung will result in your perception of life and the world being greatly enhanced. You will learn how to cultivate and harness the forces of Heaven and earth, become attuned to nature and the elements and combine them with your own Chi life essence, energy and human spirit. Overall you will feel stronger, calmer and handle the challenges of the world more easily.
"Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river" Lao Tzu – Tao Te Ching

The fifth entry in a series as indestructible as Alice (Milla Jovovich), its caffeinated heroine, "Resident Evil: Retribution" finds her still on the mysterious ship where "Resident Evil: Afterlife" left her. Almost a decade has passed since the endlessly mutating T-Virus began transforming most of humanity (and zoology) into drooling, pimply cannibals, but Alice — part human, part viral, all airbrushed — is still fighting to save the world. She must be as tired as we are.
Not wearying at all of Ms. Jovovich's eternally moving parts, the director, Paul W. S. Anderson (who wrote all five installments and has directed three), this time strips his leading lady of her superpowers and, by way of consolation, reunites her with previously terminated characters. (Whether you've been sushi'd by a laser or blown up by an atom bomb, Mr. Anderson will find a way to resurrect you, usually with even fewer facial expressions than before.)
He also supplies Alice with a daughter — cribbing shamelessly from "Aliens" — and an alternate suburban reality that ends abruptly when zombie hordes invade her laundry room. Just try explaining that to Sears.
Taking place almost entirely inside computer-simulated global locations, "Retribution" moves closer than ever to its airless video game roots. Ms. Jovovich may possess a limited acting vocabulary, but her body has a language all its own. Perhaps we should say bodies: once again, we have multiple Alices, all in dire need of new wardrobes. A zombie plague may have laid waste the world, but apparently supplies of black leather unitards have yet to be exhausted.
"Resident Evil: Retribution" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Evisceration by chain saw and suffocation by licking monster, which sounds a lot more fun than it looks.

Howdy! One thing that I love about Target, other than EVERYTHING, is their excellent five dollar movie selection. At the Target that I frequent, they have at least two front and back full length rows dedicated to their DVDs that range from four, five, seven, or ten dollars. During my last trip, I was able to snag two five dollar scary movies that I've been hoping to add to my ever growing collection for a while now. Check it out:
The Babadook and The Conjuring are two horror flicks that I deeply enjoy. And, with fall fast approaching and me getting my apartment in the near future, there is no better time to host some scary movie nights with my friends or boyfriend. Both of these movies are ones that I could watch multiple times and not get sick of, which made the ten dollar purchase totally worth it.
It's nice to have a collection of my favorite movies readily available for a lazy day or a night in and Target has made that an easy and cheap thing to obtain. I love having tangible movies, books, and games on my person as opposed to an online entertainment cache and nothing beats being able to do that for a whopping five bucks!
Who else has a movie collection? What do you like to collect? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let's chat! Much love. -Sarah

Ratings & Reviews
Resident Reviews
|Recommended: YesThe staff is extremely helpful and nice — Great place to live and location.
Hey Leesha, thanks for the review! Let us know if there's anything further we can do for you.
|Recommended: Yes3800 Main is a great apartment complex — I've enjoyed living here. The location is central and it is perfect for my lifestyle. It is located in Midtown, which is a 5 minutes drive from Downtown and right next to Montrose and the Museum District. I couldn't have found a better location. Additionally, there is Metro light rail right across the street. I have had a few maintenance issues including pest control, but they've all been resolved quickly. The insulation in my apartment is incredible, I have rarely had to turn the AC heat on. The staff is really friendly and personable, especially Chris and Sean. I have felt nothing but safe in this community. Even though I've only been here about four months, I am sure I will be renewing my lease. I highly recommend living here.
Hey Silvia, thanks for the 5-star review! We're pleased to hear that you're enjoying your residency at 3800 Main! Let us know if there's anything further we can do for you.
|Recommended: YesGreat Property — Great property
Thanks for the review Samuel! Let us know if there's anything further we can do for you.

Thanks for the Review John! Let us know if you ever need anything!
|Recommended: YesHappy Resident — Moving in was a pretty smooth transition, Eric and Amber were very helpful in making sure the signing process and access to my apartment went smoothly. After living here for almost year I still love it here. The apartment is nice and cozy, and the staff comes to fix any maintenance requests quickly. The office staff are always so kind and friendly when I go in to pick up packages, so it's great to feel welcome. The coffee bar and study space at the cyber cafe are also a great plus to go and get work done when you're transitioning to get wifi set up for your apartment. I also love how it's in a great location.. It's been safe living here, and I'm thankful for that.
Thank you so much for your review Amanda! We strive to provide a place you are proud to call home and are pleased to hear it is just that for you.
|Recommended: YesI'm satisfied with the property but the gym equipment such as the treadmills and bench equipment needs an upgrade.The hallway carpet needs cleaning or replacing. — I would say it is a good community to call home.
Alvin, thank you for your feedback! It is important that we continue to improve the look and feel of the property, so thanks for letting us know! Thank you for choosing to call 3800 Main home!
|Recommended: YesBest Houston Apartment — After touring multiple Houston apartments nearby, I chose 3800 Main as my residence with the competitive price and great location, and I have not regretted it since. I absolutely love the staff at my complex, I have had no issues with maintenance, and my apartment is almost soundproof. The apartments give off a hotel-feel as it always smells nice and is kept very well cleaned. I would recommend any of my friends and even my family to live here.
Allison, thank you for calling 3800 Main home! We take pride in our community and are so excited that you do too!
|Recommended: YesGood. Could be better. — Nice place to live. Great location. Beautiful floor plans and finishing. Only serious complaint is the walls are super thing and I think my upstairs neighbors will soon fall thru my ceiling.
Ugochukwu, Thank you so much for the 4 star review! We are glad to hear that you like our community and location. We are sorry, however to hear that you do have a complaint about living here. We are very sorry that you are able to hear your neighbors through the wall so clearly. Please feel free to stop by the community office whenever you would like to discuss this concern further. We would love to talk about it more so that we can get a good sense on the best solutions moving forward. Thank you for being a resident with us here!
|Recommended: YesPros and Cons — First off, I would like to say I do not know the Cottonwood Staff....However, they were rude to my wife the other day, and it was their first week on the job, which rubbed her the wrong way...But here we go. I currently live here now and I will be completely honest about my experience so far The Pros Friendly and supportive staff. They are always there on Weekends which makes life super convenient for picking up packages and other situations, such as ac freezing up, or something of that matter prior to the new way of submitting maintenance request, that was SUPER convenient and I also live close to a Trash Chute, so I like this as well. Easy access to the building with entering and leaving, so taking my dog out for a walk is really nice. The apartment itself is nice, too. The Cons I smell more Marijuana here than I do in Colorado, HA Super true, people smoke way too much weed. It literally stinks up the whole entire hallway, sorry, 3800, but I have to let people know. The amount of homeless is horrible, too. Earlier this week one of them decide to yell all morning and flash his junk at cars, IN FRONT OF MY WINDOW The mail system in which they notify you of a package sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, so, make sure you are tracking your packages yourself. Oh, and this kinda ticks me off...I pay 1400 and some change, and my apartment is now going for 1250..Can a guy save some money here, too Lastly, I enjoy paying early for rent, because I like to adjust my. income...you can't do that and now they are asking us to switch over to a check without online payments.. Overall Amenities are good, and hope that the staff new staff is a friendly as the previous. No need to exert your dominance in a rude way, be friendly is all I ask and helpful I shouldn't have to hear from my wife when coming home from work that you guys rubbed her the wrong way about a parking pass because she didn't have her vehicle due to it having to go in the shop for maintenance at the time. ALSO, YOU LIED, or you just don't know our parking pass DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE DOOR TO OPEN IN THE LEASING OFFICE . I don't know which one of these new staff members were told this, but, that's false.
Trevor, we would like to first off thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review with lots of great feedback on what we are doing right as well as what we need to work on moving forward. Secondly, we would like to apologize sincerely for any concern you have had living here and especially lately with the adjustment process for our staff. We really do appreciate having you as a resident here. We invite you and your wife to come down to the office at any time to say hi so that we can get to know you a little more!

We would love to talk about them more and figure out what we can do to ensure your living experience is perfect here! We are sorry about the concerns you have experienced so far, but we would love to turn them around and make everything great for you. Thank you so much again and we look forward to getting to know you a little more moving forward!
|Recommended: YesGreat Experience — Overall, I am extremely happy with my experience as a resident at 3800 Main. Maintenance is extremely prompt when needed which is not often , it's quiet, staff is competent and professional, and my neighbors are friendly and considerate.
Micheal, thank you for the awesome 5 star review! We are more than happy to hear how great of a job our staff is doing to ensure your living experience is absolutely perfect! We are so glad to have you as a resident here with us in this awesome community!
|Recommended: YesReview — a
Genee, Thank you for the 4 star review! We are glad that you are enjoying living here at 3800 Main!
|Recommended: YesGreat but things could be better — While the apartment is great in general, there are improvements that need to be made. 1. Most importantly, the elevator works without a fob key. That security feature at the entrance of the elevator has been disabled. Anyone who doesn't even have a fob key can enter the elevator. I don't understand why we allow that 2. The elevator freight one is not clean and stinks sometimes. 3. The copier never has paper. 4. The coffee Machine doesn't have hot chocolate, runs out of cups way too often.
Amit, we really appreciate you taking the time to come on here and leave this review with plenty of feedback on what we need to improve on here at 3800 Main moving forward. We are glad that you find the community great but we do see that there is a lot we can still improve to make this the perfect living experience. We invite you to come down to the office whenever you would like to discuss any of these concerns further. We would love further input and feedback so that we can ensure that we make things right and turn your living experience into the most perfect one that it can be.

Dream big and visualize/create your best life. Love it! I'm working on being healthier and giving my family more of my time. Those both took a toll last year. Here's to a happier 2016!
(Me & My Girl)
I love a fresh start to anything – a new year, another trip around the sun (my birthday was yesterday!), starting a new project, etc. As a teenager, one of my favorite phrases to quote was the latin one "Tabula Rasa." It means CLEAN SLATE – and always reminds me that if things end or don't turn out the way I want, there is always the opportunity to start anew.
Over the holidays, my parents and siblings came to stay with me. During one of our family dinners, my Mom asked for each of us to go around the table and share our hopes for 2016 so she could add them to her prayer list.
As a life coach, I encourage my clients to DREAM BIG. I help them to visualize and create their BEST lives. So when it came time for me to share my 2016 wishes, I took my time to answer specifically and allow myself to say the big things out loud.
I am looking forward to a phenomenal new year for all of us. I wish for you an abundance of blessings, purpose, clarity, peace and forward movement!
What are you hopes and dreams for 2016?
