Part of me wants to discard 2011 like a dirty, ol' rag. It was a let's-get-down-and-get-dirty kind of year for us. The kind of year where you evaluate every aspect of your life and make some difficult decisions to, hopefully, make things better. The kind of year where your heart gets tangled in a million different emotions and leaves life feeling like one, big, tangled web that somehow swirled and weaved your last bit of girlhood naiveté into a mortal cocoon. The kind of year where friends' homes and neighborhoods are ripped to shreds by tornadoes and you read stories about riots all over the world, and those earthquakes and tsunamis that hit so hard and you're left trying to explain crazy things like that to your wide-eyed, inquisitive four-year-old daughter. The kind of year where your heart brims in fullness, readying to welcome your third child, only for that baby to be taken away from you. The kind of year where your life's lens zooms in and out as you lie on a stretcher wondering if you're going to be able to hug your living babies in the morning as that pregnancy loss gushes from your body.
It has been a hard year.
And yet.
Ironically, it has been one of the best.
It's been the year that my husband and I learned to (mostly) stop dancing that passive-aggressive tango we've done all these married years and begun to truly learn one another's steps. It's been the year where we've truly listened to one another's dreams and desires and haven't been afraid to share them. The year that we weren't afraid to let go of certain things in our lives that we'd held onto for so. long. simply because they felt comfortable and safe. The year that my humanity was made crystal clear. The year where the outpouring of love and support from friends was humbly overwhelming and wonderfully healing.
It is truly stupefying how God places things in your hands which sometimes feel like squirming snakes or abrasive stones, but in opening your hands, you quickly realize that they are, in reality, loaves of bread and nourishing fish.
So I know that when I trust the Good Father, I can trust that a year like 2011 is a gift. Whether our 2011's were good or bad, or just plain boring, it is a full, written chapter in each of our life's stories and not something to wipe clean off the slate, or something to desperately try to erase from our memories. Let's find the gifts. Let's find all the fish and the bread of 2011 and learn to be thankful for them in our new 2012. And even better, maybe we can learn from all those seemingly snarly snakes and rough stones and help others with their own confusingly full hands.
Today, as my eyes linger over the ornaments and stockings and twinkling lights, just for one more day, my heart lingers over days and moments that made up my own 2011. And I am finding that those gifts walk with me into the fresh horizon of 2012.
Let's have a happy, bright and hopeful New Year, everyone.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. ~Plato
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

The Top 5 Funky Hostels that you will find in Kampot. If there is a place in Cambodia that truly reflects an idyllic atmosphere, it is none other than Kampot. The city seduced me the moment I delved into its lush greenery and tranquil atmosphere.
It is a perfect hideaway for travelers who want to escape from the hustle of metropolitan life, as the city has a calming almost spiritual atmosphere. While in Kampot, try to savor its famous fish sauce and durian, an exotic fruit that tastes like heaven even though it smells like hell!
If you wish to stay in Kampot for a couple of days, here are the top 5 funky hostels that are recommended by travelers and backpackers.
1. The Mad Monkey Hostel Kampot – This hostel is located on Riverside Road and it is accessible to the Kampot River and the Aquatic Center. It is an ideal place to unwind after a day's tour. The Mad Monkey is the top funky hostel in Kampot because of its excellent service and amenities that include a lively bar, lounge, free high-speed Internet and WiFi service, free parking, restaurant and super large swimming pool, it also happens to be close to town.
This hostel has 22 clean rooms and more than 30 dorms with personal lockers for budget conscious travelers. Each room provides comfort for guests with roomy accommodation and large beds, and the bathrooms are sparkling clean. While staying at the Mad Monkey, you will feel at home as its staff are accommodating and friendly, and speak good English. Its restaurant offers the best breakfast muffin I have ever had, but for drinks be aware of its Kamikaze that has been the ruin of many a poor girl. www.madmonkeyhostels.com
2. The Magic Sponge – If you tag along your with your kids and pets in tow, The Magic Sponge is the ideal hostel for you because it allows pets. It also provides wheelchair access for persons with disabilities. Located on Guesthouse Street in Kampong Bay District right next to the Salt Workers Monument, this hostel offers free parking, bar and lounge for partygoers, and free Internet or WiFi access.
You will enjoy staying here if you like to play pool, board games, and golf as they have their own 9-hole mini golf course. End the day with DVD lounge for free or meet new friends at the bar and enjoy good food. The hostel has six spotlessly clean rooms with air-con or fans and en-suite bathrooms with hot shower. Staying at the hostel is a pleasure as the staff and owner are friendly and helpful.
3. Rikitikitavi – This small-scale hotel / hostel on Riverside Road in Kampot provides guests with amenities such as restaurant, free parking, bar and lounge, spa, free WiFi access. It serves both international and local dishes. They have the best banana flower salad and fish amok. The seven modern Asian style rooms include suites, family rooms and non-smoking rooms with refrigerator, TV/DVD player, hot water shower and air-con. Feel at home at Rikitikitavi for you can enjoy a good sleep on its comfy spring mattress and in the morning have a sumptuous free breakfast.
It also offers guests with a wide selection of drinks in its bar and restaurant by the river. Babysitting, dry cleaning and laundry are also available. There is a welcoming atmosphere the moment you enter the hostel, as the staff is amiable and pleasant. Probably the best place to stay if you have a slightly higher budget and if you want to avoid the party atmosphere.
4. Titch's Place – Titch's Place is known for its welcoming atmosphere and delectable dishes served on the rooftop bar. It is a nice place to relax while having a good vista of the city and watch the sunset.
Its friendly and English-speaking staff will make you feel you are a family and the owner personally chats with the guests. This hostel is ideal for single travellers or backpackers.

Definitely this hostel is the cheapest in Kampot. For only $3, you can stay in a dorm while enjoying its free amenities. Titch's Place has 30 comfortable rooms with balconies, spacious bunk beds, study desks, and WiFi access.
5. Naga House – Guests that want to commune with nature should opt to stay at the Naga House, which is located on Teuk Chou Road. Their tree house and huts are comfortable although you should like sleeping with a mosquito net and no air conditioning.
The atmosphere is relaxing while its staff and owner are welcoming and helpful. The Naga House is perfect for partygoers as parties are scheduled every Saturday where a mixture of people converged to enjoy great music, food and beverages.

From the Board
Kimberly S. McDonald, AHRD Board Member
In my neck of the woods, leaves are beginning to change colors and nights are becoming chilly. 2018 is winding down and soon AHRD will begin its 26th year as a professional association. As a person who has been involved with AHRD since its inception, I don't want the 25th anniversary to pass by without expressing gratitude for this organization.
I was present at the 1993 Professor's Network at the ASTD conference in Atlanta where the chartering meeting for AHRD took place. I was a novice assistant professor attending the Professor's Network for the first (and last!) time. I don't remember much of the discussion as to why and how we should proceed in creating this new entity, I just know I was looking for a professional association that could meet my career needs.
In many ways, AHRD has met these needs and for that, I am very thankful. I am especially grateful for:
AHRD's 25th anniversary has provided the opportunity to celebrate the past and imagine new beginnings as we look to the future and determine what we need to do to remain relevant to the field, to our members, and to future members. We have work to do to keep this organization vibrant and healthy. But for now, I am grateful for AHRD.

Human Resource Development Review (HRDR)

HRDR Tip of the Month: A secret formula for your literature review methods section
One common feedback our HRDR reviewers give to authors is that the "methods" section (if any) needs further clarification. Our tip to you, potential authors, for writing your methods sections is to be as thorough and transparent as possible. Remember that the ultimate goal is for a methods section to describe what you did through the review process (so that the reviewers and the future readers can evaluate it) and to convey replicability of your methods. Below are a few reminders (not comprehensive though) of what to report in your methods section.
HRDR December 2018 Issue

FLORENCE -- The Baker Hughes, a GE company annual meeting is a two-day conference filled with industry leaders who share best practices, best-in-class products and services, and an unforgettable opera performance in the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. In addition, the stage is set to make big announcements, close big deals and network, network, network. In its 20th year, the BHGE AM is one of the top industry events of the year.
Day Two recap. Keynote speaker Sheikh Khalid Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, CEO, Qatargas Operating Company Limited, began Day Two with the theme, "Smarter ways to bring energy to the world." Qatargas is the world's largest LNG company, producing and supplying the globe with 42 MMmt of LNG annually from four ventures—Qatargas 1, Qatargas 2, Qatargas 3 and Qatargas 4. It is headquartered in Doha, Qatar, and maintains upstream assets in Ras Laffan, Qatar. As industry leaders continue to transform their companies into lower-carbon emissions enterprises, we will see a wide-spread culture change, predicted Khalifa Al-Thani.
"We will continue to challenge ourselves as we bring clean energy into the future," said Khalifa Al-Thani. The first panel discussion on Day Two was moderated by Paul de Leeuw, director O&G Institute, R. Gordon University. The topic covered "Collaboration, early-engagement and new business models: Challenges and opportunities to stimulate industry growth." Panelists included Richard Dyson, CEO, io oil & gas consulting; Richard N. Frommer, president and CEO, Great Western Oil & Gas Company; Neil Gilmour, V.P., CP integrated gas, projects and new energies, Shell; and Phil Kirk, CEO, Chrysaor. As the group shared best practices in supply chain with the audience, there were similar sentiments that echoed familiarity in uncertain times. Looking to the future with "cautious optimism," "enthusiasm" and "attention to detail" are statements that help keep employees motivated and focused on their goals, they said.
The second keynote speaker, Datuk Md Arif Mahmood, executive V.P. &CEO downstream, PETRONAS, presented "Play2Win: Digital & Collaboration." As the industry continues to evolve, he maintained, leaders must start the evolution, from the top down. Change, he said, comes from a mindset that must be spread throughout the company. Everyone must buy into the improvements and celebrate the successes along the way. "It's not about technology. Its more about culture and mindset," said Mahmood.
The next panel discussion, "How to invent smarter ways to bring energy to the world," was moderated by Muqsit Ashraf, senior managing director of energy, Accenture. Panelists included Eirik Barclay, CEO, Yinson Production; Sudhir Mathur, CEO, Cairn Oil & Gas, Vedanta Limited; and Awadh Al-Maker, EVP, Shared Services, Sabic. The group answered questions about the growing demand for energy and what needs to be done to meet these needs. In addition, they all agreed to collaborate with other industry leaders to set standards for meeting the world's energy needs in a sustainable way.
Speakers for the remainder of the day included:
Closing out the final day of the BHGE Annual Meeting was Lorenzo Simonelli, chairman & CEO, BHGE. He thanked guests for attending the 20th anniversary annual meeting and adding value to the conference by sharing their individual companies' visions for the future of the industry. He also recapped BHGE's announced goal to become "carbon net zero by 2050," and how the company will be evaluating ways to reduce emissions incrementally, across all businesses.
BHGE and ENOC partnership. Following the conclusion of the official annual meeting, there was news regarding a co-development plan between ENOC and BHGE. Together, they will develop VitalyX lubricant monitoring system, which is BHGE's first lubrication condition monitoring system with cloud-based software integration. When making the analogy of a doctor's visit that results in bloodwork that must be drawn and sent away for further evaluation and recommendations, Diarmaid Mullholland, CEO of BHGE's measurement & sensing business, explained that "the lifeblood of a machine is the oil, and what we've come up with is a technology that offers 24/7 blood sampling. The same as sending it off to a lab."

Concerns remain over the Toondah Harbour Development and the project's impact on the protected RAMSAR wetlands and migratory birds, turtles, dugongs and koalas. Understand the assessment process, your rights and how to have your say on development applications.
**Update at 30 July 2018 - Toondah Harbour has been declared to be a 'controlled action' that will be assessed by EIS.**
'Toondah Harbour Development' is a proposal for a mixed-use development on the waterfront at Redlands. The proposed development includes residential, retail, marina development, hotel, port facilities and tourism infrastructure.
There is concern over this development proposal, due to the impacts proposed to protected Ramsar wetlands and numerous listed protected species including migratory birds, threatened turtles, dugongs and koalas.
The development has been proposed as part of a 'Priority Development Area' declaration made over this area under the Economic Development Act 2012 (Qld). Following a competitive tender process, Walker Group Holdings was selected as the developer for the proposed redevelopment of Toondah Harbour, estimated at costing $1.3 billion (see the development proposal).
The development is subject to a number of state approvals as well as a federal approval. We have focused this information on the assessment processes for any development application under the Priority Development Area (PDA) declared area, and for the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth).
If you would like more information on the other approval processes, please contact us.
Approvals needed for the Toondah Harbour Development
There are a number of approvals that the proponent has stated that are likely to be required for the Toondah Harbour Development. These include:
- Priority Development Area development application under the Economic Development Act 2012 (ED Act);
Marine Parks Permits under the Marine Parks (Moreton Bay) Zoning Plan 2008 (Qld) and the Marine Parks Act 2004 (Qld) framework which include:
- Amendment of the Moreton Bay Zoning Plan to declare a designated works area;
- Revocation of part of the Moreton Bay Marine Park; and
- Permission for reclamation;
- Environmental authority for dredging under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (Qld);
- Allocation of resource under the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995 (Qld);
- Approvals outside the Priority Development Area; and
- Federal environmental approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth).
Priority Development Area planning process
Toondah Harbour was declared a Priority Development Area (PDA) by the Queensland Government at the request of Redland City Council on 21 June 2013.
The process for planning and assessment in PDAs is different to development under planning schemes and the Planning Act 2016 (Qld) (Planning Act). The declaration of a PDA is a method for fast tracking and concentrating development where this is seen as necessary by the state and local government.
PDAs are subject to their own development schemes made especially for these areas. Where a PDA applies, existing local planning instruments typically no longer apply to development proposed in the PDA area.
You can see our factsheet here on PDAs generally.
Planning for the area was undertaken by the Queensland Government, in partnership with Redland City Council, and a final development scheme was approved on 29 May 2014.
You can view the development scheme for the Toondah Harbour PDA here: https://dsdmip.qld.gov.au/edq/toondah-harbour.html
Applications for development within the Toondah Harbour PDA will be assessed against the Scheme and as such, the standard process for assessing development applications under the Planning Act 2016 (Qld) (Planning Act) will not apply.
Can a PDA be revoked?
It is within the power of the Queensland Government to revoke a PDA under the ED Act, section 42.
Your right to have your say on PDA development applications:
The Development Scheme has been already publicly notified as required under the ED Act.
The PDA Development Scheme sets out when public notification is required for development applications. It states that the following applications must be notified:
- the application includes a proposal for development which does not comply with the Precinct provisions, maps 2, 3 and 4 in the Toondah Harbour Development Scheme or the intent of those maps;
- the application is for development which may have adverse impacts on the amenity or development potential of adjoining land under separate ownership; or
- the application is for a use or of a size or nature that warrants public notification.
If a development application falls outside of these criteria, there will be no opportunity for the public to have their say on the development application at all. This is a significant curtailment of the normal involvement the public expects and deserves to ensure that planning decisions are well informed, accountable and risk of corruption is reduced.
You can check the status of the Toondah Harbour PDA and any development applications which may be lodged in the future online on the Redland City Council 'PD Online' website here.
Court review options
Unfortunately, development proposed under a PDA is not subject to third party submission and appeal rights that would normally apply under Planning Act 2016 (Qld).
There may be a right to apply for reasons for a decision and/or judicial review of a decision under the ED Act and the Judicial Review Act 1991 (Qld).
To obtain reasons for decisions, you should apply to the decision maker directly with a request for reasons under the Judicial Review Act 1991 (Qld) for the particular decision which you should specify.
You should obtain legal advice before seeking judicial review of a decision as there may be costs risks associated with applications brought without sufficient legal grounds.
Federal Government EPBC Referral
The proponent has referred three variations of the project to the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) (EPBC Act). The proponent withdrew the first proposal (reference 2015/7612) in May 2017. The status of the other two proposals are as follows.
- EPBC reference 2017/7939: In May 2017, Walker Group referred a revised proposal. On 28 June 2017, the then Minister decided that the proposed action was a 'controlled action' that needed assessment under the EPBC Act, due to the potential significant impact on the Ramsar wetland and protected species and communities. This was despite his department recommending that the proposal was 'clearly unacceptable' and should not proceed. However, the Minister does not appear to have made the related 'assessment approach' decision within the required timeframe. The proponent has not withdrawn the referral.
- EPBC reference 2018/8225: In June 2018, Walker Group submitted a further revised proposal. In July 2018, the Minister's delegate decided that it was a controlled action to be assessed by environmental impact statement. After public consultation, the guidelines for preparing the EIS were finalised. The proponent is now likely to be preparing a draft EIS over 12 to 18 months, which will then be released for public comment.
Your right to have your say on the current Federal EPBC referral:
Public comments on referral of the 2018/8225 proposal, and draft EIS guidelines, have closed. However, once the Minister (or delegate) approves the draft EIS, they must set a public comment period on the draft EIS of at least 20 business days. The Minister may also seek public comment on a proposed final decision on whether or not to approve the development.
You can check the status of the federal EPBC assessment by checking the referrals website and searching for the name 'Toondah Harbour' here. Notice of dates for further public notification can be found here.
Court review options
There are no third party merits appeal rights under the EPBC Act.
However, there are rights to apply for reasons for decisions and/or judicial review of decisions made under the EPBC Act. Judicial review scrutinises whether the correct legal process was undertaken in making the decision, rather than whether it was the correct decision on the basis of the materials before the decision maker. Applications for judicial review must be filed within 28 days of being given the decision or receiving reasons for the decision, or within a 'reasonable time' of the decision. If reasons are not provided with the decision, it is possible to apply for reasons under s 13 of the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 (Cth). This will help to determine the prospects of any grounds for judicial review of the decision.
Please see our factsheet here for more information on your rights to be involved in EPBC Act decisions.
For more detailed information contact EDO Qld or seek advice from a private solicitor.

Contrasting Commune Cultures – Visitor Orientation
"I wondered how long it would be before the honeymoon wore off," said Puck to me when he saw me clearly upset about some members at Acorn who had concerns about my interaction with two teenage female friends.
It is impossible to live in both of these communities without comparing them. It is nearly impossible not to do it, even if you only move between them occasionally. Twin Oaks meals are on time. Acorn has quick decision capacity. Twin Oaks has multiple different businesses and lots of different work opportunities. Acorn does not use labor sheets. Twin Oaks vehicles basically always work and are signed out properly. Acorn runs the super cool Seed Business. Twin Oaks hosts the communities conference and women's gathering. And it goes on and on.
We were talking recently about the differences in the visitor program. Visitors in the Twin Oaks program get labor sheets like Oakers and are required to work full quota, if they are interested in membership. Over the course of the three week visitor period, besides the regular community work they do, visitors also get 19 different orientations (what we call Oreos for short) these include:
- Community Government Oreo
- Hammocks Shop tour and lesson
- Community nature walk
- Tofu Oreo
- Child Oreo
- Health/Mental Health Oreo
- Labor Oreo
- Membership Process Oreo
- Movement Support/EcoVillage Oreo
- Social Oreo
- Land Walk
- Community Tour
- Process Oreo
- Legal Oreo
- and a number more which are not coming to my tired mind
At Acorn when people come in, we give then a 40 minute tour and outline of our norms and say "We depend on you to manage your visitor period, including your clearness and interview process, you need to make sure these things happen in a timely way." Then everything else they want to know about the community they can ask members about. It is a completely informal orientation for visitors.
Twin Oaks has 19 orientations, Acorn has 1. Some will point to the size differences and claim this is why, but more fundamentally it is a culture difference. Twin Oaks believes it can control some things by monitoring and directly informing them. Acorn thinks (on some level) we are riding the crest of a chaotic wave and we will hold on and see what happens.

MoonRaven says :
I often advise people to do the Twin Oaks visitors program first–you get a cozy cabin and usually make quick connections with the other visitors, in addition to all the orientations.
I didn't even know who the other visitors were for several days when I was at Acorn. It's good training for self-reliance, but for folks new to community, I think the TO program is a lot more helpful.
In the end, I think many of the differences between TO and Acorn boil down to whether you like structure or flexibility.
Chrystie says :
I did Acorn first, and then immediately slid over to Twin Oaks, this past summer. I like structure a lot but I learned something very valuable about myself doing Acorn first and then Twin Oaks. I learned that I like structure to come from within myself and not arbitrary schedules. I never had trouble finding work at Acorn, despite the 'ok, good luck with your visitor period' way they do things. Within a week, I had settled comfortably into what worked for me and I proceeded to do it … every day … happily. And the seed office people were happy too, I imagine.
At Twin Oaks, it's easy for a structure-lover to let co's guard down and fall into a mainstream mindset of, "someone will give me work so I shouldn't make any plans until I see what 'they' want me to do first.' Then I would get sent away, or we would finish early, or something would get cancelled completely and my sense of structure for the day would go all to hell. I found that extremely stressful. When structure is externally created, then people who need it (like me) lose their minds when it falls away. If they make their own structure, they can bounce back from an obstacle better. In that way, I maintain that even people who go from Point A to B can thrive from a lack of external forces. For all I know, that's where people like me thrive best once the culture shock fades.
I applaud Acorn for their clearness process. I can't even begin to describe what I learned about myself going into the hot-seat thirty times in three days. Speaking to people I actually wouldn't run into daily. Telling my story over and over. Working through the awkwardness of some of the conversations as a member would shrug and say, "I don't really know you. Why are you here?" I was compelled by my own sense of structure, inside a culture of absolute freedom, to complete every single clearness that the members granted me and I succeeded.
There was no similar thing at Twin Oaks and I left feeling like very little people got to know me. I was too busy listening oreos (interesting as they were!), doing assigned work I wouldn't choose for myself, or fumbling around to make up the work I lost from external reasons.
Anyway, long story short (too late, right?), Acorn was right up this structure-lover's alley. Twin Oaks was amazing too, I hope to see them again, but the way their program is set up left them at a disadvantage to get to know a person like me as well as Acorn did. 🙂
Tree Bressen says :
Fascinating (even as someone who has spent a lot of time in both communes, tho not lately). An important point i think you left out is that each place's approach to visitors may act as an appropriate filter for who will be good fit members there: presumably Acorn is seeking members who can act with a lot of personal initiative, while TO is seeking members who will thrive within the existing structures. Thus each program is well-designed to meet the goal.

Hi guys! So, recently I hit a writer's block and was just feeling very uninspired the last couple of weeks, and it took me going to a friend's house to realize that there are so many decor ideas I'd love to incorporate into my website! Finding the right home furnishings and even home aesthetic is essential to all of us because we all wish to have that "safe space" or safe haven where we can just unwind and decompress. I'm hoping that by putting my (thousands) of ideas for my future home into one area, I can narrow down the pieces that truly fit my aesthetic and my vision, so whether you live in your parent's house, a tiny house, a cozy apartment,etc. here's some home inspiration that you can pick and choose from!
*Avant-Garde decor at Reforma
One of the secret treasures I recently discovered was the chic website Reforma, a store based in Stockholm, Sweden. I honestly always struggle with finding places to suit my aesthetic and truly carry out my vision when it comes to planning my future interiors, and I'm just glad that there's a place that is definitely suited for the vintage- lover like myself that also appreciates modern, avant-garde pieces. I implore you to check out their website and see for yourself!
Home Decor/Aesthetic:
I LOVE WOOD AND I LOVE TREES! It will come as no surprise that wherever I live in the future will have so many wood elements and pieces because it's something about it that just gives me comfort and brings me so much tranquility; also there are so many different types of wood to choose from, you could have cherry wood cabinets or armoires, you could have stained wood floors or tables, you can even have a sort of Chronicles of Narnia woodsy aesthetic, the possibilities are absolutely endless!
I must have this exact piece wherever I live, I've never seen something so beautiful and so elegant. Although I'm wondering if I would keep the original paint or if I would paint it a nice buttery yellow or a mellow mint green to add some color to the room, without disrupting the neutral decor…hmmm decisions decisions
Fun little game: count how many wood pieces are in this photo alone!
Image Source: French Country Cottage Website
*I just found the French Country Cottage website, and I'm literally obsessed with all of the warm neutrals and soft honey tones, you guys should definitely check it out!
Loving all the antique furniture! I'm a sucker for vintage items, I love anything with a little history behind it.
This is called "Old World Tuscan Decor" and with a name like that, it's not surprising that I'm in love. The fabric chair and that gorgeous table are absolute musts!
SheekChic favorite of the day!
These are the Narnia vibes I was talking about guys! If you have no idea what Narnia is, it's a fantasy film made in 2005, and it involves 4 orphaned children who encounter a magical wardrobe and basically help a talking lion (this is a very watered down version), I'd recommend that everyone should watch it at least once in their lives. Anywho, the movie takes place in the most enchanting New Zealand woods and countryside that anyone would dream of traveling to, and it has greatly inspired my home aesthetic!
Chronicles of Narnia pictures!
Question of the Day:
What is your home aesthetic?
Hugs and Kisses!!

Preparation Guidelines
All Loudoun County locations accept recyclables mixed together. Cardboard boxes, paper, plastic containers, metal cans and glass containers are collected mixed together in the same recycling container. Bottles, cans, jugs and jars should be empty and lightly rinsed out. Cardboard boxes should be completely empty and flattened. Deposit recyclables loosely into the recycling collection container. If you transport your recyclables in a plastic or paper bag, dump the recyclables into the collection container and take your plastic bag with you, the paper bag can go in the recycling container. No plastic bags, period.
Absolutely no Styrofoam packaging or Styrofoam peanuts. Remove all Styrofoam, plastic wrap, bubble wrap, plastic strapping and any other plastic packaging from cardboard boxes prior to recycling and discard with your regular household garbage.
Items left on site or "donated for reuse" such as furniture, exercise equipment, toys, or anything not included in the above "Materials Accepted" list are considered illegal dumping.
At Home
Pour out any remaining liquids or foods from bottles, cans, jugs and jars. Food and beverage residue should be rinsed out. Try adding a small amount of water to the container, put on the lid and shake to help with rinsing and to conserve water, or use leftover dishwater.
Plastic Bags
If your recyclables are in plastic bags, empty them into the designated recycling bin, and take your bag with you to reuse or dispose with your household garbage. Do not attach plastic bags to the recycling bins, and do not deposit plastic bags in the recycling bins. Bags left at the recycling centers become litter or are mixed in with the recyclables and cause mechanical problems at sorting facilities. Plastic grocery bags should be returned to grocery stores for recycling.
Service Schedule
Recycling dumpsters are emptied every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday at all locations except Park View Recycling Center which is emptied on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Country music star Tim McGraw has undergone an amazing transformation in the past few years. These days he considers himself to be in the best shape he's ever been in. But it only came about after the musician's health began to plummet, with too much partying and drinking. And actually, it was a remark made by his wife of 21 years, Faith Hill, that shook him into changing course.
Then, in October 2019, Tim showed off his new physique on Instagram. He wrote alongside it, "My whole life, I've lived according to one key value. I guess I've done so from an early age, when I wanted so fiercely to get beyond my circumstances. That value is, Be ready."

A smattering of Sanskrit
English really does deserve the "melting pot" description it often receives. One of the countless languages that have contributed to English is Sanskrit (from the region we now call northern India), & here is a tiny fraction of Sanskrit's contributions to English.
The mynah bird got its English name in 1769 through Hindi from a Sanskrit word meaning delightful or joyful.
Some time around 1839 the Sanskrit word loptram, meaning stolen property or booty, made its way through Hindi & Anglo-Indian to become the English word loot.
It's very likely that the Sanskrit word drona-m, meaning wooden trough, morphed its way through Hindi to become the English word dinghy. Dinghy joined English in 1810.
Our English word bandana appeared in 1752 from bodhnati, a Sanskrit verb meaning bind. To get to English it passed though through Hindi.
It's likely the Sanskrit word kandha, or piece of cane sugar showed up in English in the late 1200s as candy. On the way to English it traveled through Persian, Arabic & Old French.
The Sanskrit word for twisted or matted hair was juta-s, which showed up as jute in English in 1746 after a trip through Bengali.
The board game Parcheesi came from the Sanskrit number twenty-five, (panca vinsati-s), which moved through Hindi to arrive in English in 1800.
The Sanskrit word sramana-s, meaning Buddhist ascetic, passed through Prakrit, Chinese, Tungus, and German to become the English word shaman. When? The 1690s.
It's very likely the verb shampoo, which showed up in English in 1762 came from the Sanskrit verb meaning pounds or kneads. To get to English it passed through Hindi & Anglo-Indian. In English, shampoo originally meant to massage, & didn't mean to wash the hair until 1860. And it wasn't until 1866 that shampoo became a noun.
Since these source words were spoken a long time ago, I've chosen to write of Sanskrit in the past tense even though modern Sanskrit is alive and well in many parts of India.
Please click on comments below if you were surprised by any of these etymologies.
Big thanks to friend Aaron Keating, for suggesting this week's topic, & thanks to this week's sources: Wordnik, Merriam-Webster, Etymonline, & Collins Dictionary, & the OED.

I am a 'seasoned' gamer (aka OLD) who likes streaming and creating the graphics for my stream.
My name is Marc and I am cough40+cough years old! Two of my most favourite things in life are gaming and motion graphics, so streaming gives me an opportunity to blend these two passions together. I do TRYHARD quite a bit in my streams (even though the reflexes aren't quite what they used to be), but I also do some crazy/fun stuff from time to time which gives me the opportunity to do some highlight videos featuring a blend of skill and fun :)
I started both gaming and graphic design in the 90's (unless you count MANIC MINER on my ZX Spectrum and spray painting flames on my bikes as a kid) but didn't put the two together until recently when the net speeds increased in my area and allowed me to stream.
I would like to 'GIT GUD' at both my gaming and my broadcasting skills, but most of all I would l love to just entertain a few people from time to time :D
I absolutely LOVE playing and streaming FORTNITE! It's such a fun game (even when I get owned hard!) with such fast pacing and infinite building options that it never gets repetitive for me.
My game history goes back to the original Unreal Tournament and it's sequels. Over the years, I have played most of the popular FPS shooters, such as CounterStrike:Source, Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty 4:MW etc as well as some of the more niche games like FireFall and PlanetSide 2.

My name is Tim Been Full time for about 8 months.From fayetteville Arkansas.I have a cover and pad site at a friends ranch 8 miles south of Fayetteville.
8 months ago my wife and i made the jump to selling most of our property buying s 40 M/H and going full time visit family and friends all over the U.S.I am a artist so our plan was to make art shows as we went and see if we could make a little money to help with over head. Last summer we went to Bath Maine,to see Sarahs daughter and 18 month old twins went down the east coast stoping along the way to spend time on the beach.We came back to Ar to re group were going to head to Texas see my family then head to south texas take it from there. On Nov the 15Th 2014 i was out of town on a 1 day art show 3 Hr away,Sarah stayed home to keep getting thing together in the M/H,i could not get her to answer her phone so i called Donna the persons ranch we stay at.I got a call 1 Hr later they had found Sarah sitting in her chair with a hot cup of coffee in her lap she had a a massive stroke and had passed away.
This was totally unexpected and took the wind out of my sails. Here i was alone sold every thing have this M/H,i had lost my wife, best friend,lover and travel companion. I have now regrouped my thoughts headed to Ft Worth Texas were my family is.and spend Christmas with them I had decided to continue the dream we had planed for.
My sister asked me the other day what my plans were,i told her--- there is no plan---. We had set this M/H up for doondocking,added a lot of solar,had reworked every thing that needed up dating. We had planed to travel the Tx coast and by spring go to Big Bend National park.I had spent time in the late 60's early 70's doing just this but in a 1969 VW camper.Sarah had never been to that part of Texas and was so looking forward to the Adventure.So i will do what we spent months talking about.
Sorry i do not want to make this a downer bio,but this is my life now. I am now going to start some time after christmas.I am still in shock but feeling better and looking forward to this adventure.We had looked this web site several and were going to join.The people here sound like minded,so here i am.Right now i am in a M/H park really do not like it but it will work for the holidays.The only plan now is to meet people that think like me,a little out side of the box and head south.
looking forward to all the people i have not met yet and enjoy each and ever day.
I have a pad site in Ar but it is on someone else's property,at this time Donna (her place) prefers that i am the only one that stays there.She is a widow and in the country.But things change if they do i will let everyone know.
Tim. CARPE DIEM,

Magick Without Fear: The Gerald Suster Letters
Paperback, 428 Pages
Price: $35.96
Prints in 3-5 business days
Gerald Suster (1951-2001) can be considered one of the most important occultists of the late-20th century. A prolific writer, esteemed historian and advocate of Thelemic Magick, he is best known for his biographies of Aleister Crowley (The Legacy of the Beast) & Israel Regardie (Crowley's Apprentice). Often described as a somewhat controversial and provocative character, Gerald made best use of these attributes in his published books and writings, employing common sense and wit to demolish all preconceived notions of what Magick is and how it might be utilised to further advance and accelerate human evolution. This volume comprises of the full collection of personal letters he wrote in correspondence with occult student George T. Mortimer, spanning over eight years from 1992 until near his death at the beginning of 2001. They reveal an exclusive insight into this unique and complex character, and will undoubtedly be of value to anyone engaged in studying the occult arts from... More > a Thelemic & Crowleyan standpoint.< Less

1 Person Reviewed This Product
Aug 27, 2016I'm really enjoying this book! By sharing scans of his personal correspondence, George T. Mortimer has offered us a wonderful insight into the life of one of the most interesting British Occult Practitioners of the 20th century. I have to say that some of the pages are a bit messy, apparently due to the condition of the original documents. However, knowing that that *is the condition of the original docs gives the book a somewhat mystical character, which only adds to its informative nature for me. Many thanks to George for taking the time and effort to create this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is curious about, or interested in the life and workings of the mind of an insightful, clever Occultist. Leonora Jackson, author of Powerful Magic - Secrets from the Inner Circle. A Handbook for Metaphysics.

I Hung a Couple of Owls, Now I Gotta Go Hang a Rat
Cherry Strudel:
20 sheets Phyllo dough
1 lb. cherries, pitted
1/4 cup raisins
3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
(about) 6 tablespoons clarified butter (have more ready)
1 cup buttered soft breadcrumbs
1/4 cup apricot jam
1 hour before baking:
Combine cherries, raisins, cinnamon sugar and lemon juice in a bowl. Cover and let stand 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Layer 10 sheets of phyllo brushing each layer lightly with melted clarified butter. Do not butter the top layer. Spread with half the apricot jam, and half the buttered breadcrumbs. Place half the cherry mixture at the bottom. Tuck the edges in and roll to encase the cherries. Brush the outside with more butter. Repeat with second roll. With a sharp knife, cut deep slashes into the roll. Bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven and brush all over with more butter. Return to the oven until deeply browned-another 10-15 minutes. Cool on rack. Ice with icing sugar and water glaze, or dust with icing sugar when cool. Makes 2 strudels.
Happy Weekend.

Since you've promised it's easy, I am adding phyllo to my grocery list and giving this one a try. We have family coming into town this weekend and something easy will be perfect.
- Goody said...
It is easy, just remember to thaw the phyllo before using it or the sheets will never come apart. Even thawed in the fridge, take the roll out an hour before using it to warm. You'll get 2 strudels off 1 roll in the box so you'll have another to keep frozen for dessert emergencies.
And tuck in the edges as you roll or the filling will leak out the ends. Good luck-I hope it works better than the typical internet recipe.

I wanted to make note of a couple of documentary opening today in Los Angeles that appear to be excellent films about the music world.
A.K.A Doc Pomus is a portrait of the legendary songwriter who penned hits like "This Magic Moment," "Young Blood" and "Save The Last Dance For Me." This last tune gains significance because Pomus had polio and wasn't able to dance. For more on his fascinating life, you have to see the movie (or Google him.)
Muscle Shoals obviously is about the historic FAME recording studio that was the site of so many great recordings (too numerous to name). The film features studio owner Rick Hall and guys who were the key session musicians (known as the Swampers) along with marquee names like Keith Richards and Bono.
Also, the movie CBGB (while not a documentary) is playing Friday night at the American Cinematique's Aero Theater. While I haven't seen the film, I have heard the soundtrack, which is a dandy disc. It earns points for including tracks by lesser known CBGB bands like the Tuff Darts, The Laughing Dogs and Wayne County and the Electric Chairs along with CBGB "stars" the Dead Boys, Talking Heads, Richard Hell & the Voidoids, Television and Blondie. It's definitely superior than the 1976 Live At CBGB's album that I remember being so dissappointed over because it had only the second tier bands. This soundtrack does make me wonder where the MC5 fit into it (and really, do we need to hear the Police's "Roxanne" again?).
On just a slight tangent, there is a radio play, written by the great playwright Tom Stoppard, entitled Darkside based on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. A deluxe CD will be released on November 25 that includes the nearly hour long radio play plus the script and other items. The wonderful Bill Nighly is one of the actors. This project was done to salute the album's 40th anniversary. This fall has also seen a number of salutes to the Wizard of Oz's 75th anniversary – coincidence?
Lastly, I couldn't resist include one final item about the new William Shatner album, Ponder The Mystery, which features performances by Rick Wakeman, Al DiMeola, Steve Vai, Robbie Krieger, Vince Gill, Edgar Winter and George Duke. Yes, ponder that mystery.

General Information
Name: Misha
Faction: Union (Ally)
Function Star Singer
Group: Heaven or Hell
Title: Songbird
Series:Ar Tonelico-1
Sex Female
Species: Reyvateil
"It's not the reyvateil's fault if she cant craft decent song magic, it's your fault for not treating her with love and respect! And I'll prove it to you now!"
Misha hails from the tower of Ar Tonelico, a gargantuan tower that keeps her worlds people safe from the clouds of venom that cover the planets surface. Within the tower live people known as reyvateils, girls who are capable of drawing power from the tower and conjuring forth magic with the power of their song. Misha is one of these reyvateils. A strong-willed and forthwith girl, she rarely has problems sharing her feelings, and can be very emotional at times. She appears to be no more then twelve years old and comes across as a precocious girl, bright, intelligent, knowledgeable, perhaps a bit too much for a girl of her apparent age at times. There is much more to her then is readily apparently, but the side of herself that she reveals to the world is that of a kind-hearted, helpful girl who cares about her friends and is willing to fight to protect them. But there are some things that she hides even from the people she trusts.
Vital Statistics
Apparent Age: 20
Gender: Female
Height: 5 feet, 6 inches
Song Magic: Misha is a reyvateil, and that means that she is capable of singing song magic. Song magic is exactly what it sounds like, magic that takes the form of a song. The song magic starts out fairly weak, but grows in strength the longer the song is maintained. For most songs, there is a limit to how long she can maintain it before it tires her out too much to continue. She is capable of moving while singing, but serious harm will immediately disrupt the song and end any further affects, though any affects already in place, such as a barrier, or wounds inflicted or removed by songs remain. The song simply won't grow stronger and must be begun again from the start.
Defensive Songs: These are songs which protects a selected group of people from a certain kind of harm. For example, she could set up a barrier that prevented electricity from passing through a small area. Only one such barrier can be active at a time, to activate a second, she would have to disable the first. She is only able to defend from the four typical elements of fire, water and ice, wind, and electricity with this, as well as set up a generic barrier which defends against non-magical physical attacks, like swords, gunfire, martial arts, and the like. This defense is not flawless; it merely lessons the effects of the affected damage type.
Healing Songs: These songs are pretty self explanatory; they heal the wounds of the person that they affect. These are not powerful enough to regrow lost limbs, nor do they have any affect on diseases and viruses that may be affecting the person the song's affects touch, they simply heal flesh wounds. To heal anything beyond minor wounds, she must maintain the song for an extended period of time.
Red Songs: These are the songs that allow her to inflict harm on others. They come in the same five types as her defensive barriers, and follow the same rules as her other songs. To make them powerful, she has to sing them for greater periods of time. Fully charged, a red song is capable of some pretty serious property damage if Misha so desires. Unlike the other types of magic, however, these are only good for one shot before she has to start singing anew and if she is disrupted before unleashing the song, it goes to waste.
Singing Voice: In addition to carrying magic within it, a reyvateils singing voice is quite unique. While singing, it is as if the world is singing with her, as she is capable of pulling the sounds of musical instruments and even other voices seemingly from thin air. Listening to a reyvateil sing is like listening to an entire orchestra if she wants it to be.

Look at the crowd... that is a lot of people ready to learn.
It is very inspiring to be a part of these seminars and hear people's comments about what NATT is trying to do. That is why the fundraising that I do is so important. Being able to provide these free education seminars is helping a great number people. The best part... is that we are just getting started and there is a lot more people out there that we can reach out to. What I do is a small part of a much bigger enterprize that is coming together very nicely.
Lunch was sensational... you can't learn effectively with an empty stomach!
Look at the people paying attention. Everyone is focused and ready to soak it all in!
THANK YOU ALBUQUERQUE AND SURROUNDING AREAS FOR COMING OUT AND PARTICIPATING IN THE EVENT! Our biggest seminar to date! What a turn out!
On a different note the first 2007 Clot Buster Auction to celebrate March as DVT Awareness Month is coming next week... stay tuned for it!!!

Comprehensive website solutions have become a necessary thing these days. If you have a business, it's only natural to have your own website. Most people rely on the information they find on the internet when they're choosing products or services. Hence the need for a website. Those who already have their own websites understand the importance of maintaining its features.
Others are experts in codes and website development that it's not hard for them to fix any issues. But it's not something others can do. For such instances, there are different website service solutions that can help you. Choosing the best one would be very essential. There are numerous services most of the companies offer. Some are detailed below:
WordPress-based site maintenance
Most of the websites these days are using WordPress as their base. When you can't afford to purchase your own domain and you're not sure of the other host servers, WordPress is often the best way to go. There are thousands of websites that started with their services. Because the codes and processes are quite different from other hosts, you must be familiar when it comes to the options for WordPress Maintenance. This helps avoid any type of issue.
Overall website maintenance
A trustworthy service would also be able to provide services for most websites despite the differences in their host servers. This would be an essential thing to keep websites running. This will include repairs and properly speeding up the whole process. With this, your website can offer better services and a better user interface.
Website migration
From a specific host service, migrating a website to a different one can be possible. For instance, there's WordPress Migration. For websites to function properly, you should be sure of the expertise services have.
Site protection
Another service that can be expected from them is site protection. Site hackings and malware can be a huge problem. If this is not prevented, there would be numerous issues. This can cause your site to shut down. So you should choose individuals and services that can properly unhack a site and prevent any hacking attempts.
SEO services
Most of the website service solutions these days are also providing SEO services. This allows their clients to not have any issues finding a different service provider for SEO. Such service solutions will come in handy in the future since they're aware of what needs to be targeted and which parts of your websites must be improved.

She was great to work with, always on top of things, extremely responsive (we had a group text convo) answering texts and emails at all hours, and got us a great deal on our new home! Plus she had the patience to deal with us, which is no easy task. My wife and I will definitely be working with Jacqui for any and all real estate transactions in the future

Turkey Flat Shiraz, Barossa Valley
Out of stock
The Turkey Flat Vineyard boasts some of the oldest Shiraz vines in the world. Planted in 1847, these hard-working gnarled old vines are still producing fantastic grapes. They are dry grown with their roots extending metres into the soil in search of moisture.
Much of the credit for the best Shiraz made in the Barossa is due to old vines such as these. The fact that these vines still exist is largely due to a far-sighted quarantine scheme, in which South Australia was spared the phylloxera outbreak which devastated the vineyards of Europe, America and subsequently parts of Australia in the late 1800s.
This shiraz is a result of a very intricate blending process. After each parcel of fruit is individually vinified & aged in specially selected French oak barrels, the final blend is created with careful consideration to upholding its reputation for cellaring gracefully, retaining its freshness and balance for many years.

Staying Calm Under Pressure
Being the focus of an ongoing noise dispute can be a stressful experience and it is clear that some people handle the pressure better than others.
It is important that you are able to keep control of your emotions, stay calm and remain focused on your goal of getting the noise reduced (or abated). Remember, you don't want to appear overly-sensitive as this may result in you losing support. However, it is also important that you are able to express to the investigating officer and, ultimately, the courts what sort of effect the noise is having on you. Effective communication is therefore important.
Obviously you are feeling anxious or wound-up about the noise; otherwise you wouldn't have been motivated to have it stopped. A certain amount of pressure can actually help ensure that you provide the issue with the attention that is required for you to carry out the tasks you need to complete.
You need to make sure though, that the level of stress that you are suffering does not result in melt-down or any counter-productive or irrational behaviour. Often what one perceives as critical to them will not go anywhere near to, for example, endangering life or making someone bankrupt. Try to place it into perspective; you are not defusing a bomb or scaling Mount Everest.
When you are communicating control your breathing and try to relax. Slow down and listen. People who are able to do this are much more likely to think and respond clearly. As a result that "inner-confidence" enables them to be much more persuasive.
Some Tips
Here are a few tips that may help you to remain calm and focus on the task in hand:
• Focus on the outcome rather than on the person making the noise
• Avoid any negative people
• See diary keeping as a necessary step to quiet
• Recognise that your problem will not be solved overnight
• Have reasonable expectations of other people
• Place reminders to complete tasks in your diary
• Approach your problem in stages
• Don't react straight away, take time and review your response
• Ask questions and for clarification

As the mainstay of Adidas' current tidal shoes, the Yeezy Boost 350V2 is a big name in the sneaker circle. And this year has not been absent. In June, a pair of "Butter" color schemes were released, which is very popular.
As the mainstay of Adidas' current tidal shoes, the Yeezy Boost 350V2 is a big name in the sneaker circle. And this year has not been absent. In June, a pair of "Butter" color schemes were released, which is very popular.
Although the popularity is very high, but because of the large volume of goods, so the market is still relatively adequate, and its price is not high, basically more than 2,000, know yeezy Boost 350V2 people know that more than 2,000 really It is very cost-effective
Everyone knows that the color of the butter, the body of the shoe is light yellow as the main tone, it looks really refreshing, plus the primeknit woven upper, and the Boost midsole, its foot rate in this summer is Very high!
However, it has recently reported that it will be replenished again in December! The item number is the same!
However, at present, although its cost performance is very high, but in the next season of the shoe is coming, I believe the butter Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Butter" is estimated to increase prices! Therefore, I want to start with a relatively good price/performance ratio. Now is a good time.
Although it will replenish, it is estimated that it will not be cheaper to go there! Because the current butter coconut is already cheap enough, as long as more than 2,000, plus the next busy season brewing, the replenishment can only be slightly cooled.
On the value of Yan, I am afraid that in addition to pure white, this pair of butter is the most fresh temperament. The yellowish upper is evenly colored, and the simple solid color is also very convenient.
The volume of yeezy Boost 350V2 is really big, so the market price is very low, so don't worry about it when you start!
Compared to pure white, this coconut 350 butter will undoubtedly be more resistant to dirt, so many students who like pure white coconut v2, but also suffer from nursing the upper, have a better choice, and on the market, The price of white v2 has remained high, and the price/performance ratio of butter will undoubtedly be higher!
