Firefly Camps & Retreats
Summer Camps
The summer developmental camping program provides a traditional camp experience for individuals with spina bifida and related disabilities. The program combines traditional camp fun with skill development in a barrier-free atmosphere regardless of disability. For many, it is an opportunity to be with friends and experience activities never thought possible.
A primary focus of the program is to work on teaching health care, life management, pre-vocational, and interpersonal skills. These skills are taught indirectly through goal-oriented activities such as cooking, art, sports, nature, archery, swimming, and discussion groups. Each summer program has a specific theme with targeted goals and objectives. Personalized goal plans are also created for each participant. The individual does not need to be independent in self care routines to participate. Groups are determined based on age and interests.
Camps We Offer
Adult Camp- for Adults with spina bifida or a related disability
Youth/Teen Camp-for youth, teens, and young adults ages 6-21.
Mini Day Camp- children ages 2 to 5, along with their parent(s) and sibling(s). Focus is on becoming acquainted with the camp and making friends.

Camp Guyasuta –Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some answers to the most commonly asked questions about Camp Guyasuta. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to call or email Brennan McMahon at (724) 934-9600 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Does my child need to be able to catheterize independently to attend programs?
No. If your child is unable to self-cath our staff will do this for them and work with them on finding ways to help make them more independent in this area. Sometimes, we even have kids leave camp doing this for themselves!
My child has a bowel program… how does that work at camp?
During the weekend retreats we do not do bowel routines due to time constraints. However, in the summer time we have time set aside in the schedule called siesta every afternoon in which these routines are completed.
What type of staff are working with my child and how are they trained?
The counselors are primarily college level staff. They are trained in all aspects of personal care from showering and dressing to cathing and performing bowel routines by the Association staff. Also, there is an Association staff member on site during care times to assist as necessary.
My child takes medications, how are these administered?
For weekend retreats we ask that you bring all medications pre-dosed in either a pill container or med bags. The staff will them administer these medications at the appropriate time. In the summer we will send out medication bags to you so that you can mark and fill them before coming to camp, however, we still ask that you bring the original pill bottles with you as well.
Can my child call home or can I call them while they are at camp?
We do not recommend that parents speak with their children while they are at camp, as often times this increases or causes homesickness. We will be happy to take your call and tell you how they are doing and of course we will always call you if we have any questions. You can also send us emails which we will be happy to give to your child and of course campers are always happy to get letters from home.
Who will be distributing the medications?
Similar to all the retreats in the past, campers are to bring their medications pre-dosed and the counselors will distribute the medications at the proper times.
My son/daughter has a power chair how will it be charged at night?
There are electrical outlets on both floors of the buildings, we will be able to charge everyone's chair.
Is there air conditioning?
Yes, the floors are air conditioned.
How will I be able to contact someone when my son/daughter is attending the retreats?
Firefly camps and retreats has it's own number, the leadership will have this phone with them at all times during the retreat. The phone number is (724) 841-9280. This number should be used by families and ACCESS transportation to contact staff.
FireFly Staff – Join Us
Hiring Process
- What does Firefly Camps and Retreats look for when hiring counselors? Each year we hire a diverse staff who, with their personalities, backgrounds and talents, can serve as positive role models for our campers, teach the different activities offered at camp, and offer real enthusiasm for camp life. We look for staff members who want to join our camp community, make many new friends, and work hard to benefit the individuals who attend camp.
- How old do you have to be to work at Firefly Camps and Retreats? Counselors must be 18 years of age and have completed one year of college or equivalent experience.
- Do I have to have previous experience working at a camp to apply to work at Firefly Camps and Retreat? No, we encourage anyone who has had experience working with children and adults with disabilities and loves the outdoors to apply to work at Firefly Camps and Retreats. Each summer we have many returning counselors, but we also have almost the same number of new ones who bring their own wonderful energy and experiences to our program.
- How many staff members are hired each summer? Each summer we hire about 30 staff to work at camp. In addition to the counselors, we also hire other nurses and program staff each summer.
- What are the campers at Firefly Camps and Retreats like? Our campers range from ages 6-adult. They are divided into two groups: Adults (21 and up) and Youth/Teen (6-21). Our campers have spina bifida and related disabilities so counselors must be willing and able to lift and provide personal care.
- What is the salary for a Firefly Camps and Retreats counselor? The starting salary for a cabin counselor at Firefly Camps and Retreats is competitive with other camps in our area. The base salary can increase according to your age, education, responsibilities, skills, and experience. A great perk to working at camp is that your room and board are included during the time you work, so you can really save a lot of money during the summer.
- When do counselors get paid? Staff members are paid at the end of their contracted work period.
- Do counselors have to work all summer? We prefer to hire counselors who can work all of our sessions (training, adult week, and youth/teen week).
- What is the interview/hiring process like for counselors? As soon as we receive your application and reference letters, we will call you to set up an interview. While we prefer in-person interviews, we often conduct interviews over the phone. We hope the interview helps us get to know you, but also helps you learn more about Firefly Camps and Retreats. We really want to answer all your questions!
- Am I right for Firefly Camps and Retreats? Are you a high energy person who likes to stay busy? Are you outgoing and friendly? Do you find it easy and enjoyable to be with children and adults? Are you comfortable in a rustic, outdoor setting? Are you a little bit goofy or silly at heart? If so, then you will fit right in at Firefly Camps and Retreats and absolutely love it.

I saw this little blob of grape jelly a few mornings ago and noticed how cool it looked. The hot white highlights, the reflected cool blue light on the shadowed side, the deep dark almost black areas within the heart of the blob, the areas where light is captured inside the jelly like the finest gem stone and screams out with the most intense shade of red-violet ever seen. Now that is one cool blob of grape jelly! When I started my blog page over five years ago the one thing I wanted to project to visitors was the process of "seeing…..and not just looking". I call it seeing the "extraordinary within the ordinary". Many people just look and don't really see all the great things around them. All people have their own ideas of what around them is great to see. My family and friends would be the first to attest in my uncanny ability to see the extraordinary within the ordinary…..or at least what is extraordinary to me. As they are all appalled thinking to themselves, "What?" they have witnessed me standing on chairs and table tops in restaurants taking photos of plates of food, silverware, ketchup bottles, salt and pepper shakers, shadows from a window blind raking across a place setting. They have watched me paint items from grocery store shelves, half eaten pieces of watermelon, cereal bowls left behind after breakfast, slobbery lollipops discarded by children, and the foamy rich little brown bubbles on the surface of a freshly poured cup of hot chocolate. They have seen completed commission pieces such as a weed emerging from a crack in a sidewalk, a favorite glass of wine backlit from a nearby window, tricycles, game boards, and slices of pizza. It seems the ideas for painting subjects from "seeing" the coolness in everyday ordinary items around me will never cease. Even a little blob of grape jelly dropped onto a countertop will do. You have to "see" it, or at any rate, I have to see it and then show it to you. I was reminded of all this yesterday when my youngest and now seventeen year old daughter walked into my studio and said, "Tell me you're not painting a little blob of jelly?" I was….and now I'm showing it to all of you. I want to thank the thousands and thousands of people that have followed this blog for the past five plus years. I'll keep painting.
(feeling SUPER inspired right now)

Replaced my 24 yr. Old Lennox H.E. pulse furnace with a new Lennox H.E. furnace. The job was excellent, really impressed with the finished install.

My furnace chose the best time to break down, as my husband was heading out of town on a Sunday. Prior experience tells me that repairmen tend to take advantage of females needing in home service. I dreaded it, but called Jackson Hardware Heating & A/C. I spoke with Tony, who immediately put my fears at ease. He diagnosed the problem over the phone and told me he could not repair the furnace until Monday even if he came out. His honesty saved me a ton of money. He squeezed me into his packed Monday schedule, gave me options of repair or replace, and coordinated my conversations with the installer. Gary and his team arrived the next day as scheduled and we're just as kind and courteous as Tony. The entire company truly cares about it's customers!

We had a furnace issue and Gary came to take a look. Our existing unit is 20 years old and needed a replacement circuit board. Gary was very kind and thorough in discussing options with us, no pressure and no hard sales tactics. We chose to replace the unit and Gary sealed the deal with a handshake. Installation was 4 days later, went off without a hitch and now we have new furnace for the winter. Great job, friendly, courteous, and thorough. I highly recommend Gary and Jackson Hardware Heating & Air Conditioning!

I had my old furnace replaced with a Lennox system from Jackson Heating and Air on 10/24/19.Gary, Mike, and Tom showed up on-time, removed the old furnace, got the new furnace installed, balanced, and up and running in a little more than 3 hours from start to finish! The old carrier was hauled away and the work area was spotless when they left.I am very impressed with the Jackson H&A team, their quality work, and professionalism.Thanks guys, you're awesome!

Gary and the team at JHHAC were fantastic to work with. We discussed the work over the phone and agreed on a price and time. The crew showed up as promised and did a great job on the installation, just in time for the next heat wave. Friends used Jackson Hardware and Heating for their homes, giving me confidence to contact them. Google reviews helped me make up my mind. Friendly service, great knowledge, competitive pricing. Just what you want when your heating or cooling fails. Thanks JHHAC

Gary came over to quickly access the problem we had with our furnace. He was able to make adjustments to keep the furnace running to keep us warm. He had taken the call later on Christmas night to let us know his plans for the repair. The next day several price options were mentioned on the how to repair the unit. He explained the benefits and pricing for each of the two options. The repair even included a full tune up to ensure the entire furnace was operating properly and efficiently.Gary was fair and honest and communicated exactly when he would conduct the furnace repair. The service was done on time and was very thorough. We would recommend Jackson Heating and Hardware to anyone requiring heating and cooling services. Great work by Gary and your entire team! Thanks so much - Brad & Karolyn

I called six places near me for a furnace humidifier. Only 2 got back to me. One took 3 days and Gary of Jackson Hardware who was on a job returned my call quickly the same day I called. His price was fair so we set a day for the work. He called early that morning to confirm if time was still good and arrived on the job 30 minutes later with Mike. They knew what they were doing and finished quickly without any disruption or mess. He did a good job explaining all things important and we now have humidity levels that are healthier. Great job guys! I do recommend this company.

I used Jackson hardware for service twice. One of those was an emergency call and they showed up on time and completed the work on a Sunday! I have recently had them install my home central air. They did a great job making a preliminary stop to see what size and type of AC we needed. Installation was done in less time that predicted and you couldn't tell they we there, left the work areas as good or better than before they arrived. Totally satisfied and would recommend them.Thanks for a good job.

Gary came to fix my air conditioner within hours of my call during the first heat wave of the season. He explained what was wrong and I learned that the service I received from his competitor last year never fixed the problem. I trust Gary. I learned a lesson and will only have Jackson Hardware and Heating & Air Conditioning repair or replace my AC or Furnace. Gary is professional, skilled and honest.

We decided to be proactive and replace our 31 year old AC and Furnace. Gary and his team arrived on time, and in 6 hours replaced my units with new Lennox equipment. They took the time to explain the process of bleeding the AC lines and why, advised for a furnace filter option that needs to be replaced every 2-3 years instead of monthly, and were professional in every aspect. Leveled off my AC pad and gave tips on how to save energy costs when operating each unit. I would recommend JHHAC for all your AC/Furnace install or service needs.

Honest, hardworking, and efficient! I had a furnace repair done last year, and they told me the furnace was almost at her end. I did not want to bite the bullet at that time, but they were surely correct. It died this week, and they came and replaced the furnace and thermostat. As a a single woman, I didn't feel them being condescending as they described issues, and explained the new furnace I would be getting. They did not try and upsell me to something I didn't need. They also cleaned up after themselves beautifully. I would strongly recommend Gary and his crew. "Tell them, "Jill Maria sent you!" 🙂

We had a great experience with Gary from Jackson Hardware Heating and Air Conditioning. Our 25 yr old furnace had given up the ghost so I had several companies out. We picked Gary because he was honest and performed the appropriate tests to see if our furnace was working or not. He replaced our furnace two days later and he had two other men working with him. They were finished by 1100 in the morning. They left my basement cleaner than when they came and explained everything to me. Gary even made a fort out of the furnace box for my three yr old son. He decorated the fort with toys and made windows and a door. Gary went above and beyond! We will have him out in the spring to replace out air conditioner. I highly recommend Jackson Hardware Heating and Air Conditioning! Thanks Gary, Tom, and Ike!

Amazing experience with them! Gary and Mike both came out to look at my air conditioner after I received numerous quotes from other companies that were very expensive. Very responsive as I called and they came out within the hour. And I received great service at a very reasonable price. I will be using them for all my furnace and air conditioner needs from now on!

The Jackson Hardware Heating and Air Conditioning crew were here this morning, on time, at 8:30am. They were replacing a 20 year old furnace in our Mobile Home. It was not an easy take out and install, but, Gary and his crew handled it with relative ease and professionalism. They took the utmost care of our home and property and when they left you couldn't tell they were here. When finished with the install, Gary checked all the connections for leaks and the vents for air flow. He also checked the thermostat to make sure it was properly installed. They were done with the job shortly before noon and I can't say enough good things about their service and their prices. Gary and his crew at Jackson Hardware Heating and Air Conditioning get 5 gold stars from me. Thinking about having a furnace repaired or replaced, give them a call now. You won't be disappointed with the results. Fantastic organization and fantastic people, including Gary's father Tom, who is a delight to talk to. Great job guys. Thank you so much for your professionalism.

In the attic it's likewise important to get the correct ventilation. Quality Line Conditioners provide a high degree of surge protection. Up to a couple years back, power conditioners and line protection gear proved mainly employed by the business, research, and in laboratories. They have been around for a long time. Thus, a power conditioner can be regarded as a sort of protective measure that might extend the life span of your house theater equipment. In cases like this, a premium quality power conditioner could possibly be effective in reducing or eliminating the sound problem.
Power Conditioner Home Theater for Dummies
There just is no rushing in regards to evaluating power solutions. Utilizing solar ac products are quite pricey in regards to purchasing and also setting this up. It improves picture quality dramatically along with lowering the sound floor.
Okay, you've resolved to install a house theater on your own. One can't listen to music that doesn't harken back to an individual's own social experience. Most folks looking for a power conditioner want just a cheap and productive way to distribute power to their rack.
To be able to create the unit run better, there's some resonant control built into the casework. In many cases, it can self-reset. The best my system could muster with regard to soundstaging was an image the extent of a little ball floating between both speakers. Most systems want to juggle a number of audio and video source components. The last portion of your house theater setup is going to be tweaking the system for the greatest possible picture and sound. So take some time to experience your AV Receiver settings, along with your TV picture settings to be sure everything is set up properly.
Twisting the cables in a certain way can cancel out unwanted noise that may get in the cable, and controlling the stage of the sound, ensuring all frequencies arrive at an identical time. For this specific unit, you should be certain to are in possession of a 20-amp circuit and a 20-amp wall socket. The transformer is claimed to get design features which make it silent whilst operating. You may use an isolation transformer, just like the type employed for cable TV ground difficulties, to eliminate the electrical connection from 1 component to the other. In cases like this, a video isolation transformer needs to be used to get rid of the ground loop. Power surges may be your principal concern when picking a surge protector, but a lot of models also have filtering to reduce electromagnetic noise via your system. When you're out there gigging, you can't know what sort of power you're likely to get.
In its simplest form, noise reduction in a power line conditioner is accomplished through using passive-type filtering. While power suppression is remarkably important, all of the protection possible is meaningless should you not have sufficient outlets for every one of your devices. You would like to find quite a lot of protection, to ensure your equipment is correctly protected. If power protection is among your principal concerns, then you're aware that selecting the most appropriate protection gear isn't a simple job. Yet there's more to power protection than simply safeguarding your equipment. Your very first priority when deciding on a surge protector could be available electrical outlets, but you ought to consider different connections too. Although picking a surge protector might initially look simple, there are in fact a number of considerations to stay in mind prior to making a selection.

It's been a long time since I built my last computer in 2012. I went through alot since then: I lost a job, lost my Dad (my best friend), ended a toxic relationship with a bad GF, got a new job, lived in a foreign country (Romania), fell in love with the most wonderful girl in the entire world from Serbia, and now I started a new job again here in Atlanta, GA. I moved back to the states to take care of my family, and since living here, I decided I needed an upgrade from my 2010 Asus G75JH laptop. The rest of my stuff (like the computer i built back in 2012) is in storage. So this is a present to myself, with full support from my family and fiance who is also an avid supporter of gaming :) ya...shes awesome lol. i got really lucky with Kristina.
I'm extremely pleased overall. I was scared about the switch from Intel to AMD and didn't know if this was finally the right time to switch as I have always supported Intel, and didn't want my money to go to waste. For those that are debating between an AMD vs Intel system, fear not, and go AMD! I will tell you the main problem with AMD builds is the memory compatibility. This has been an issue that I will describe in full detail below.
Shout out to MicroCenter, specifically Wanda at the Duluth store for price matching all my components. The only thing I did not get at MicroCenter was my memory, I got that at Fry's. For all you hardware enthusiast out there, I know we all shop on NewEgg and Amazon (Prime) but I highly recommend checking out your local MicroCenter and Fry's. Not only will they price match online etailors, but:
1) they also have stuff on sale and in store specials
2) you get it in your hands the day you want it
3) you have a place to return it if there are problems
4) you skip the "shipping anxiety" you get waiting for packages to come in.
I personally saved $280 on my build with in store specials....Thank you Wanda and MicroCenter.
FYI - Here is CPU-Z validator link for my build: https://valid.x86.fr/gchxhb
Part Reviews
Everything you ever wanted in a CPU. Speed and lots of cores/threads :D It's time my fellow gamers to support AMD in the fight against Intel. I have always been an Intel fanboy, and now I am a believer in AMD. This thing can run anything, and with future AGESA revisions, things are only going up!
CPU Cooler
Looks beautiful, and one of the very few AIO coolers to support AM4 (Ryzen) motherboards with the included brackets. I didn't realize this was an issue until I started reading the motherboard compatibilty on the boxes of the coolers and manufacturers' websites. It was then that I realized that other coolers do not come with the AM4 brackets...you have to buy or order them separately. Some offer them for free after you buy the cooler. But that's such an inconvenience....you have to buy the cooler, and then go to a website, and then order the AM4 brackets, and uhhh...the pain.
Anyways here are the PROS:
1) Decent temps with moderate overclocking, not fantastic. (Check my temps on the left side that I posted)
2) Easy to install, hoses look nice too
3) RGB...ya its cool I admit.
4) Corsair Link is cool and easy
And here are the CONS:
1) If you're like me and you dont give a crap about noise, and you want your fans on max speed, you will either have to
a) Plug in the power cables for the fans directly into the PSU.
b) Plug in the power cables for the fans into the PWM CPU Fan slot on the motherboard
& and control it with Corsair Link and doing all that jazz.
2) At stock speeds, the temps are not good. I cant get below 40 celsius personally. So I just live in the 50 celsius range and overclock
FABULOUS MOTHERBOARD! High quality components, excellent performance, and here's bragging rights with this board: BETA BIOS! This really helped with all these memory issues, and it was only available with this board out of all the vendors, and all the models (even within ASUS). When AMD came out with their new AGESA update, it still has to go through ASUS QA/QC version control/change management process before they release it. But ASUS didn't want to bottleneck us, so they released a BETA version to help out the community so we don't have to wait while the supported version is released. That was awesome, so great board, and great support.
Other points:
1) Easy to overclock
2)RGB lighting looks sexy
3) XMP Profiles dont work on this board
This memory....geez.
It's not this memory's fault because it was made for Intel systems, and XMP is by Intel. So these xtreme memory profiles is supported by some AMD boards, but not by all. So on all Ryzen boards, the highest that anyone has been ever to get these sticks to run is 2999Mhz. Some say its because they don't have Samsung ICs and other technical crap. Long story short, if you want memory that runs at its rated speed on Ryzen motherboards, then you need to check the QVL (Qualified Vendor List). There's no other way around it, and this is the only and biggest problem with Ryzen. You can't just go shopping for memory online and expect whatever you buy to work as advertised. Ryzen is not insert and play friendly with memory.
Anyways, the memory looks super sexy even if it is one color. It's a red LED light, and the only think you can customize is the lighting effects. Strobe, breathing, bla bla.
Blazing SSD period with no issues and easy to install. Im glad i didnt invest in the pro version.
Video Card
Glad I got the FE, the others are just a waste of money because if you can overclock, and cool it properly..well then its just the same :P And ASUS makes great products, decided to go with as many ASUS products as I could to keep it all uniform
THIS CASE!!!!.....Shaking my head......OMG!
Summary: Install with this case is a b****!! But its sexy as hell with a nice Q charging base for your cell phone. After testing with a variety of cell phones between my family and I, it seems to only work with my Samsung Galaxy S7. My work cell is an iPhone 6, and it doesnt work with it. I havent read up too much on what this does/doesnt work with and why, and honestly i can care less because as long as it works with my personal cell, im happy :)
Other details: 1) PSU slot in the case is weird. I thought it was going to be cool from the way it looked but it turned out to be a b**** to install.
2) There's not enough room for proper cable management on the right side (Non-Window) side of the case. You have to really know your stuff in cable management to get the case door to slide back into position like a glove. So if your a messy/casual builder that hasnt done cable management before...you're in for a learning lesson.
3) I thought it was going to be slightly larger. This is definitely a full tower, and i was hoping for something that was flirting between the lines of a full & super tower. If you want a case thats between big and "HUGE!" this is not it.
4) lacks a "basement"
5) lacks a PSU shroud
6) motherboard tray does come out, but you have to unscrew stuff and it honestly makes it more complicated so i didnt use the tray =\
7) barely enough room between the AIO cooler and motherboard. Too close for comfort in my opinion.
8) good airflow, and glass is sexy
9) the front panel door really does come loose easily. you can open it with your fingernail with little effort when its supposed to be "closed". watch the Hardware Canucks video when you get a chance and you will know what im talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXjvxw92yls
you might want to put some adhesive tape if you want it to stay shut if you're like me and rarely open your front panel door.
10) USB ports are SUPER TIGHT! I mean really..i put in some muscle to slide my USB devices into the ports. Anyone else having any issues?
11) Nice feet on the case. Very balanced, no wobbling.
12) Easy to clean with a solid piece mesh on the bottom of the case.
Power Supply
I used Corsair Link with this, and I'm happy on the performance side. On the aesthetic side, the cables it comes with look UUUUUGLLLY! But don't feel like spending $200 on custom cables with nice looking sleeves, so I have to accept the fact that my cables are ugly =\

UK "Official" View on Advertising Issued
March 3rd, 2006
We have some official guidance on advertising in Great Britain by "overseas" gaming sites. Today, the UK Gambling Commission and the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport jointly issued their view of the application of the Gaming Act 1968 to the practice of foreign operators advertising in the UK. The "Joint Guidance" paper as issued can be found here. As you can imagine, they are of the view that much of it is illegal. They assert that they will refer individual cases to the Crown Prosecution Service for the initiation of legal proceedings when they consider advertisements to be illegal. We shall see whether the Crown Prosecution Service, and more importantly, the Courts, will ultimately agree with their view.

India is counting down the hours until Bollywood superstars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh tie the knot in a plush Italian resort on Wednesday.
The couple's names are trending on Twitter and social media is filled with good wishes ahead of their big day.
The actors have starred in three films together, including blockbusters Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat.

This 38mm diameter cabinet knob is hand cast in solid black iron with a chunky rim and two tumbling dolphins in profile in the centre.
All our knobs are hand-cast in heavy iron with a matt black oil finish and are completely solid, unlike cheaper versions which are often hollow and feel much flimsier.
Each knob is individually hand-finished, so although very similar they will not be identical. This means there can be very slight variations in sizing and decoration between a selection of the same style of knob, but we believe it is this handmade rustic finish to our furniture knobs that gives them such a special unique character.
A standard fixing screw is included but if you would like to measure the depth of your door/drawer and include this information in the notes section at checkout we will send you the correct sized screw for your project.

Magi Bed – designed for a great night's sleep.
Since we couldn't find bedding that was just right, we decided to design our own. We started by tweaking an already supremely comfortable mattress. Then we added four plush, down-like sleeping pillows, wrapped it all up with sumptuous, Egyptian combed-cotton, Italian-woven sheets and pillowcases and topped it off with a hypoallergenic, fiberfill blanket and a dark green-colored damask coverlet.
Extraordinary Indoor Air Quality
We accomplish this without wasting energy by using "energy exchange" technology where we trade the thermal energy from the air being exhausted with the air being brought in. See our Sustainable Practices page to learn more.
Smoke-free Environment
The Proximity and Print Works Bistro are a smoke-free environment. FYI: We do provide two well-appointed "Cigar(ette) Preserves." One is 75 feet to your left as you exit the revolving door off the lobby and the other is about the same distance from the Print Works Bistro entrance near the creek.

"An absorbing page-turner, equal parts light and dark, and filled with the sweetest, swooniest ache. Everyone needs to read Jenny Torres Sanchez. Now." —JENNIFER NIVEN, New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places and Holding Up the Universe
From the backyards of suburban Florida to the parched desert of New Mexico, Because of the Sun explores the complexity of family, the saving grace of friendship, and the healing that can begin when the truth is brought to light.
Dani learned to tolerate her existence in suburban Florida with her brash and seemingly unloving mother by embracing the philosophy Why care? It will only hurt. So when her mother is killed in a sudden and violent manner, Dani goes into an even deeper protection mode: total numbness. It's the only way she can go on.
But when Dani chooses The Stranger by Albert Camus as summer reading for school, it feels like fate. The main character's alienation after his mother's death mirrors her own.
Dani's life is thrown into further turmoil when she is sent to New Mexico to live with an aunt she never knew she had. The awkwardness between them is palpable. To escape, Dani takes long walks in the merciless heat. One day, she meets Paulo, who understands how much Dani is hurting. Although she is hesitant at first, a mutual trust and affection develops between them. And as she and her aunt begin to connect, Dani learns about her mother's past. Forgiving isn't easy, but maybe it's the only way to move forward.
What I remember is the shell-pink nail polish. Even as I looked at it, her pinky finger dangling with that frosty color, I wondered, Why this? Why am I noticing this?
It's strange how your mind can split into so many different bits and pieces, slivers of it sending a thousand different messages. Scream. Run. Or Careful, careful, don't startle the bear. Other parts recall a television show about worst-case scenarios that tell you Don't make eye contact, play dead, even as your lungs send a distress signal and your brain reminds you to Breathe.
Now a part insists She's dead. Look at the blood. Another insists She can't be. Another laughs at the absurdity and assures you Don't worry, none of this is real.
And then there's the part that registers shell-pink nail polish. Delicate and pretty and coating her nails perfectly, making them look like seashells. You can hardly take your eyes off it, even as another part takes in
her dangling pinky,
the look on her face,
how her body is sprawled out,
the pink of the pool water,
and the bear . . .
She asked me if I wanted to sit out near the pool with her and I didn't. I told her it was too hot, and besides it was the last two weeks of school and I had end-of-year exams to study for. But she didn't even let me finish before she started shaking her head and talking over me. God, Dani. Have some fucking fun for once, would you? she said as she splashed some vodka into her lemonade.
But I did have exams. And it was too hot. It was always too hot. And even if it wasn't officially summer yet, it was always summer in Florida, the sun was always blinding, and we, me and her, we were always like this. I couldn't think of a worse way to spend the afternoon than with my mother, telling me all the ways I was stunted or terrible or not like her.
I looked at her from the corner of my eye, taking in another of her barely there bikinis and too-tan skin.
"You're going to get skin cancer," I told her because I couldn't help myself.
She laughed, shook her head. "Well, we all die of something, Dani. Who the hell cares if it's skin cancer or something else." She took a sip of her drink, then flipped her long blond hair with hardly a glance in my direction, the way she always did when she was done with me. When she couldn't care less what I said next.
I don't know why I hated her. Or I do know, but the reasons, they don't translate to words. All I know is she made it hard to breathe, and a tightness would shoot across my chest, from one shoulder to another, and press down on me. And somehow I hated myself. Just because I was her daughter. Her terrible daughter, as she liked to remind me.
I watched her open the sliding glass door that led to the pool and the patio and then close it behind her. I watched her untie her top and lie down on her stomach, taking her time to get comfortable even though the yard wasn't fenced in. Even though the neighbors on either side could look out and see her and often did. She knew it, too. She reveled in it.
I watched her. I watched every move she made. And I thought, I'll never be like you.
I waited to see if you would look at me. But you closed your eyes.
One of my tests she always failed.
So I went to my room, that empty, self-satisfied feeling enveloping me in a cloud of self-hatred. Because, oh, how you made me hate myself. You made me want to cover up from head to toe, wish to be anything but your daughter. I flopped on my bed, pulling out from under me notes and study guides that were now useless because my head was too full with you. With anger and rage for you. With how you shoved your way into my every thought when all I wanted was to get away from you.
I plugged in my headphones. Turned the music up so loud it hurt my head and left no room for you. Turned it up so I could be anywhere but there. Turned it up so I'd forget about school and you half-dressed in the backyard for all the world to see.
I guess that's why I didn't hear you screaming.

Self building Goldberg Eaglet 50 electro.
Self building Goldberg Eaglet 50 electro.
I decided to create this topic. Maybe it will be interesting to someone.
There are changes from the original design. In addition, I make a model without a chassis. Since there, where I run the models, a high grass cover. This is a private area and you can not mow the grass.
�Plans for my Goldberg Eaglet 50 in PDF I'll post a little later. I can also provide Auto Cad. At the moment the model is still under construction.
Thankful to BMatthews. It was with his blessing that I decided to open this topic.
Of course, at first I printed out the drawings and made the part templates. Construction began with the wing.
Templates of ribs were made from plywood 1.5 mm. The ribs themselves are made of balsa 2 mm. The rear edge of the wing and aileron made of separate two racks stacked together. Shelves of spar from light, non-resinous pine 6x6 mm.
Thread OP
Electronics on the model here in the photo. Weight 406 grams. Flight weight not more than 900 grams.
Lemia, not too many folks these days know how to correctly use a fretsaw with a proper birdsmouth support. You're really going "old school"
And for those that don't know the wood birdsmouth thingie in the second picture is used as a rest for the part while the other hand uses the fret saw from below to manually do the same thing your powered scroll saw does.
A little more focus on your methods will be a great learning tool for many folks new to building from plans. I look forward to following this thread.
RFD, for whatever reason the deeper frames that use the shorter and much finer blades as Lemia is using are called fret saws. Don't ask me why because as you posted they have nothing to do with cutting the slots for stringed instrument frets.... which luthiers also call fret saws.... more confusion Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger . On the other hand coping saws use longer (8"?) blades and generally have a less deep frame.
Doing a google image search on "fret saws" will also turn up a heap of images of this same small skinny blade deep frame style of saw. While the same search for "coping saw" turns up images of what we all expect. And oddly enough, or perhaps not so oddly, a search for "scroll saw" gives back nothing but powered saws as we expect.
I do agree that in a world that made sense that since this "fret saw" uses a blade that is the same or at least similar to a powered scroll saw that it SHOULD make sense to call the manual version a scroll saw as well. But for some odd reason it isn't.
Here's what I mean in just one example.
Fret saw
Coping saw
Thread OP
Were you surprised by my jig saw? Very user-friendly.
Before the cut of the ribs, I marked out on the plan their position, with small balsa waste. Cut with a knife. Folded in a package. And separately processed for the left and right part of the wing.
My electrified Eaglet 50 was a LONG term project. 10+ years in fact. I didn't take many pictures but I documented some of the project on WattFlyer here: https://www.wattflyer.com/forums/sho...ghlight=Eaglet When I started the conversion the kit was still available so no free plans were online then. I used the kit wood as templates (to make templates) and built it from all balsa except for the firewall and the landing gear mounting. It's light enough now (40oz AUW) that it flies extremely well on a beat up old E-Flight 480 motor. Dump the ply fuse parts and go balsa.
Lemia, like you I prefer to cut out my ribs in the same manner just slightly oversize. I stack them in the same manner and sand down the block of ribs to the final size and then cut in the spar slots just as you're doing.
On top of that I number the ribs from one end to the other so that any even slight differences are spread out evenly and all the spar notches line up correctly.
I find that a big part of making a wing which does not warp easily is building in a manner that does not introduce a lot of stress in any of the parts. And part of that is evening up the trailing and leading edges and cutting the spar notches as you're going to do in the block so they are in line the whole way along the wing.
Thread OP
I am grateful to everyone who participates in this topic.
The side panels of the fuselage are made with balsa 2.5mm, medium density. On the entire fuselage used three sheets of 2.5x100x1000 mm. The photo of the fabrication will be on.
Glue I use Titebond II Premium. At the top of the plan I use lavsan film from the flower shop. To this film does not stick glue. The leading edge of balsa is 6x8 mm and will be rounded. Shelves of spar from light pine 6x6 mm.
Immediately after removal from the pack I numbered the ribs.
The paper tubes for the servo cable are made in one layer.
Thread OP
I find that a big part of making a wing which does not warp easily is building in a manner that does not introduce a lot of stress in any of the parts. And part of that is evening up the trailing and leading edges and cutting the spar notches as you're going to do in the block so they are in line the whole way along the wing.[/QUOTE]
The ribs are manufactured in several stages.
At first I process in a pack. Then I disassemble and number. In plywood patterns I make cuts under the shelves of the spars. Again I collect in a pack. And I'm making a pattern in the package. Here is the final photo of the plywood templates. From the top and bottom already removed 1.6 mm for the central ribs (covering the center wing). The correct position of the balsa ribs is retained by the three mounting holes. There is no third hole in the photo. In its place is an opening under the paper cable channel clamp.
And like you I've found that it only takes a few minutes more to notch the small trailing edges and do do the stacking and numbering. In fact in the end I'm not sure it costs any time at all. A little extra up front before assembly results in a smooth and trouble free assembly of the wings so they go together faster. But more importantly they go together so easily and well that it makes me smile. And that is the whole point of building our own.

Bone China
by Roma Tearne
A lyrical and haunting tale of 3 generations fragmented by civil strife and the shock of migration. The genteel Grace De Silva faces upheaval as Ceylon is torn apart by independence and her children are compelled to seek a new life in austere England. Lost loves, secret sorrows and the search for cultural identity make up the sights and sounds of this novel. It's a feast for the senses playing on the reader's emotions like a beautiful concerto.
Carefully, so as not to break it, she took out the special china. There was a lot to choose from. The cupboard gleamed with the most beautiful things: pink and white plates covered in rosebuds, blue-and-white dishes, small bowls, jugs and teapots. But it was at the back of the cupboard that she found the real treasures. At the back, tucked away behind the Whitefriars crystal glass, were small neat stacks of the oldest pieces. There were tureens with worn patterns, cups and saucers, a whole dinner service with delicate figures, dense foliage, ivy, ferns, passion flowers. Meeka picked out her especial favourites. Side plates, sugar bowls for the jelly that she was about to make, serving dishes for the curries, a tureen for the rice. She spread them around on the floor, vague memories like the music that lived constantly in her head, rose up to greet her. Here was a dish that her granny used to serve bolo de coco on; here was another that always had pente frito in them whenever she visited her grandparents in their beautiful house in Station Road. For a moment she longed to taste some vadi or thosai. To smell again the rose water and cinnamon in Auntie Frieda's kitchen. Her aunt always had something sweet for her to eat whenever she visited and whenever she hugged Meeka she always smelt of rulang and cochineal. Meeka had loved visiting them, her grandparents and her aunt, in their house by the sea. In the excitement of being in England she had forgotten how much she loved the island.

A TIME TO KILL 35mm
19th August 2018 @ 15:00 - 17:30
Event Navigation
A TIME TO KILL at The Cinema Museum (19 AUG 15:00):
Winner of the NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Motion Picture and Supporting Actor 1997, A Time to Kill (1996) follows director Joel Schumacher's Falling Down (1993) in its prescient examination of white privilege and justice in modern America.
Carl Lee Hailey (Samuel L. Jackson) doubts the legal system will serve justice upon the two white local men who rape and torture his daughter. After taking his revenge on the steps of the county courthouse with a shotgun he calls upon white friend and lawyer Jake Brigance (Matthew McConaughey) to defend him at his trial.
Preparing his case against the death penalty, Jake and his associates (Sandra Bullock, Oliver Platt and Donald Sutherland) come under attack from the Ku Klux Klan, while the trial becomes a media spectacle in scenes that could easily come from today's news.
As controversial as John Grisham's novel, which was partly inspired by Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird and partly by the harrowing testimony of a 12 year old girl in a 1984 Mississippi trial, A Time to Kill asks questions both about vigilantism and the advantages granted or denied by the scales of American justice. After the success of Schumacher's adaptation of The Client (1994), A Time to Kill ranks as the most powerful and enduring of the Grisham cycle of the 1990s.
Introduced by Rebecca Nicole Williams with a selection of vintage 35mm trailers before the feature.

Through the old zoo gate (our main entrance) you will step right into the historical part of our zoo. You will see the handwriting of Ernst Pinkert, who laid the first stone of our zoological garden back in 1878.
As part of this historical complex you will find the Explorers' House Ark, the Koala house and the Terrarium.
The koala house is a very special attraction that opened in 2016; as very few German zoos keep these Australian animals. The former ape house built in 1901 has gone through a complex renovation for this purpose. Inside the building there is a eucalyptus forest copied from a natural environment. Here, the solitary Koalas have two separate areas.
A whole host of reptile species live in our terrarium. You can see tortoises munching slowly on a lettuce leaf, snakes wrapped around tree branches and lizards basking on rocks. For our alligators we have even mimicked a small part of theEverglades. Pick the right moment and you can see one of them emerging from the water.
You will find the Explorer's House Ark in the historical carnivore house that was also referred to in the past as "Leipzig's lion factory", which is no coincidence given that 2,300 big cats were bred here over 100 years. Today visitors go into the Ark on a safari of the senses: in an interactive exhibition you can learn more about our role as a modern zoo. You can also see, smell, touch and listen to animals and plants from Asia, Africa and South America.

There is no denying the fact that bacon is very good, whether it is being fried for breakfast or being put into a side dish for a picnic. Dry cured bacons, which might be somewhat difficult to find and cost somewhat more, are packaged with a great deal more of the bacon flavor everyone is always craving while most, if not all, super economy bacons are wet cured and does not have as much flavor.
In a local taste evaluation Silver Creek Specialty Meats hickory smoked dry cured bacon was chosen over the other top locally made bacon for one mere reason, flavor. Everybody who chose Silver Creek bacon simple stated that it had a much better taste. A dry cure is implemented and the bacon is set aside for 12-14 days so the cure can deeply penetrate the pork belly. There is no weight lost during the frying process, so when 1# of bacon is purchased 1of bacon is eaten. Another bonus is the bacon comes on slabs, so the customer can decide how thick or thin they want their bacon.
Dry cured bacon comprises a whole lot more distinct flavor. This sort of flavoring also takes less time to penetrate the meat making the meat a fresher cut of pork with a wonderful amount of distinctive flavor. Wet remedies or brines, a salt and water mixture, are also used to add desirable flavors to meats. Wet curing meat takes a good deal more time to permeate the meat with flavor because the cut of meat is left to soak in the liquid mixture leading to a cut of meat that's not precisely the freshest and not a whole lot of additional flavor.
Traditional super market bacons are moist cured, only instead of being soaked from the brine solution which takes more time to permeate the meat with flavor, supermarket bacons are injected with the brine solution. This increases the return of bacon and requires only a brief time to heal, but most often times the bacon lacks a good deal more flavor than dry cured meats. Larger bacon businesses have adopted this procedure to brine bacon because it not only creates a larger yield, but also helps increase profits. These bacon companies are sacrificing flavor for profits. While moist cured bacons lose the moisture which was injected for flavor during the skillet at home.
Historically pork and all meats were salted or cured to preserve meats so people could survive during the long winter months when foods was scarce or on long sea voyages. After technology developed simpler ways to preserve meats, which also provided a wider variety of flavoring options, salting or curing meats eventually became only reserved for bacon. Now we have a wide range of bacon flavors to choose from .

If you are an immigrant you know that "identity" is a loose and often elusive term. More that often you find yourself distanced from the ways of your birth country, and yet no matter how hard you try you may never completely belong in your adopted country. Do not despair, because food often helps bridge the gap!
Food is an intrinsic part of our identities and for an immigrant easy access to childhood meals helps ease and speeds the process of settling into a new country. This takes time and there's certainly a learning curve. You will eventually know where to find obscure ingredients (that weren't obscure where you came from), or discover the perfect substitutes for them.
This recipe is based on a childhood favorite after school snack – Cholia (green fesh chickpeas) Chaat. A chaat is a tangy, spicy and savory street food that's made of varying ingredients. Several types of chaats can be found all over India and others are region specific. Fresh green chickpeas are not widely available in the US. After several experiments I found the perfect flavor and texture substitute for them – shelled edamame – widely available in all major grocery stores.
This is a fresh, bright and tangy dish that screams SPRING! It can be enjoyed as a light and healthy snack or can be a perfect warm salad addition to any spring meal.
Edamame Chaat Recipe:
Yield: 1 ½ – 1 ¾ cups
Time: 15 minutes
1 tablespoon of butter
½ cup red onion, finely diced
1 green chili, seeded and diced (optional)
½ cup tomato, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 ½ cups of shelled edamame, fresh or frozen (completely thawed if frozen)
1 teaspoon chaat masala (See note)
½ teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
white table salt or black salt (rock salt) to taste
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- Chaat masala can be found in all Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi stores. It can also be easily ordered online.
1) 1 a small sauce pan or skillet heat the butter on medium heat. When the butter is heated add the chopped onion and sauté stirring frequently until the onion is softened and changes color (translucent). This takes about 5 minutes.
2) Add the green chili and sauté for another minute. Not add the tomato and cook for 2-3 minutes till the tomato is softened. Add the red chili and cumin powder and cook stirring for a minute.
3) Add the edamame and stir to coat it well. Cook till the edamame is al dente or till desired doneness. Turn off the heat and remove from the stove-top. Stir in the lime juice and add salt to taste. NOTE: Most chaat masalas already have salt in them, so you may only need to add a little salt.
4) Stir in the mint and cilantro and serve warm.

For many Delta Gammas, being part of a chapter means a woman has a "home away from home." On some campuses, this home is a chapter house. On other campuses, it may be a residence hall. Regardless of the structure, sharing a living space with a network of sisters provides the comfort of a campus family for each Delta Gamma.
Most Delta Gamma collegiate chapters have a local house corporation, made up of collegiate chapter officers and alumnae volunteers. Regional Housing Specialists, the Director of Housing Development and the Director of Housing Resources also support local house corporations. Together, they manage budgeting, employment, furnishings and housing expansions.
Delta Gamma established the Fraternity Housing Corporation in 1989 as an independent incorporated entity that assists local house corporations with everything from budgeting to financial analysis, to human resources, tax preparation and accounts payable and receivable.
In 2014, Delta Gamma created the Fraternity Management Corporation (FMC), which is also an independent incorporated entity. The FMC serves the unique role of assisting chapters without chapter housing and without local housing volunteers.
Each new school year is an opportunity to provide a comforting home, suite or meeting experience for Delta Gamma's collegiate members. At the same time, Delta Gamma members are grateful to those who did the same in previous years. After all, the collegians of today are tomorrow's alumnae who will ensure generations of Delta Gammas enjoy the same meaningful experiences.
