Park View Condominiums & Freedom Trail
301 Bragg Boulevard, Downtown Fayetteville
Park View of Fayetteville, LLC; City of Fayetteville

Park View is an exciting $15 million dollar project that brings the lush amenities of upscale living to the heart of the City. Upon completion, Park View will feature 47 condominiums and townhomes overlooking some of City's greatest points of pride: the Airborne and Special Operations Museum and the North Carolina Veterans Park.
Park View sits on the former Days Inn site, an infamous symbol of the town's rougher past. The property was acquired by the City and torn down in 2006 after years of complaints. Ralph Huff studied the site for years, trying to figure out exactly what the best use would be. At the groundbreaking, WRAL reported "Fayette-nam no more: Condos replace infamous Days Inn."
The new homes include a 14-unit manor building with 2,379 square foot condominium units, six 2,927 square foot townhomes with private elevators, and 27 loft units at 1,557 square feet. All feature individual garages and many have views overlooking the museum and park. The Freedom Memorial Trail runs along the front of the property and provides a seamless connection to nearby parks.

When you're a father on Father's Day, it's the one time each year you get to do you; it's your Lyndon-given right, after all. If you want to go to a ballgame, go to a ballgame, damn it...as long as you take the baby with you. Fortunately, toting around a little bundle of crying and secretions didn't stop one Colorado dad from making the most of his Sunday at Coors Field.
In the third inning of Rockies-Giants game, shortstop Troy Tulowitzki hit a home run over the fence, and baby daddy simply bosses the catch, snatching the ball out of mid-air like it was dangling from his kid's Dora the Explorer mobile. Dad's still got it, kids. And what's the perfect follow-up to the perfect Father's Day gift to yourself?
Now walk it out, now walk it out. You've just taught your child a lifetime's eductation in swagger, sir—the most important lesson a father can give. Now, time to just sit back and wait until he or she grows up to be this kid.

One of the great things about Frightfest is that you never know who you might be sharing your row of seats with. On the first evening I discovered that my row-mates were from the cast and crew of my new favourite zombie rom-com, Deadheads. Over the course of the weekend we chatted about all kinds of stuff, and it got to the point where there was too much good material going to waste. So I sat down between films with half the directing team, in the shape of Brett Pierce and the gorgeous actress Natalie Victoria (Ellie Masterson in the movie). Here's how we filled the time:
Daniel Benson: Brett, you and your brother Drew grew up on and around the set of Evil Dead as your Dad worked on the special effects, how old were you at the time and what was it like for two young kids?
Brett Pierce: I was around six or seven, Drew would've been about five. It was amazing for us because it instilled in us that the idea of trying to make a movie wasn't weird, and it wasn't a job, it was just a normal thing to do. In the summer they'd finished shooting at the cabin, but they didn't really have any effects work done so they took over my Mom's house and all these guys like Sam [Raimi] and Scotty [Spiegel] just set up shop for the whole summer and destroyed the house. They brought in cockroaches that they needed for some of the sequences and they infested the house!
For us it was inspirational because we took the attitude "They did it, there's no reason we can't". I loved it, it was definitely a unique experience.
DB: Did you find that the experience grounded you and made you more aware that movies were all make-believe, or did it freak you out?
BP: [Laughing] To tell you the truth I was terrified of horror movies until I was about 15 because of that. My dad used to keep us away from going down into the basement, because they were all working down there. There was one incident where they were running some test reels of the meltdown sequence at the end of the movie, and all really enjoying how it looked. When they turned the lights on I was standing there looking absolutely terrified, having snuck in to see what was going on. I didn't feel comfortable going back down into that basement until I was about 15 years old.
DB: Following on from that experience, did you get into making movies as a young teen or was it something that you became interested in later in life?
BP: It was in High School. Drew and I would take any subject that involved aspects of film-making. We would shoot really terrible shorts where we'd make dummies and drop them off the side of the school, we'd make horrible knock-offs of films we really loved and we did it for years. Hopefully we got all of the bad stuff out of our systems in our teens!
DB: Natalie, when did you first start getting into movies?
Natalie Victoria: I've been pursuing acting for the last six years now, but just recently it seems to be working out more and I've done Deadheads and some stage plays too.
DB: Brett, how did the idea for Deadheads come about?
BP: The idea really came from Drew being dead set on making a zombie movie where the zombies were pals. It was something he just had in his head and when we started talking about it I said, "We should make it a road-trip movie and we should have them chasing a girl". We wrote the script, then went back and did dozens of drafts to get it right, preferring to get the writing perfect rather than turn up to set and realise what we've written will be awful.
DB: And as both brothers and co-directors is there a lot of rivalry or do you tend to get on well when you're shooting?
BP: Weirdly enough, we totally agree on almost everything. It weirds people out and they find it strange that we can finish each other's sentences. The actors even pointed that out to us on set, and they'd say that regardless of which one of us they spoke to we'd be in agreement, even without consulting each other. We both have the same sensibilities about making movies, so even if one of us was having an off day the other would be happy to step back and say, "You know what? You really got this, go for it"
DB: Natalie, how did you meet up with Drew and Brett and how did you find working with them on the film?
NV: They found me at a theatre production in LA. After the show they came to see me and handed me the script and told me that they'd like me to read for the part [Ellie Masterson]. It was a really long process after that, almost a year I think, I had three auditions for the part maybe more. I've lost count [laughs].
BP: We had a really rigourous audition process and I'm pretty sure some of the actors started to hate us. We were pretty sure we were going to use Natalie all the time, some others too, but we made them audition over and over to get the parts.
NV: Yeah, the audition process gave us no feedback whatsoever, there were no smiles, no making eye contact, no "Welcome to the cast" for any of us. [Laughs] You were so mean! It was frustrating too, as I'd keep getting callbacks but no feedback. It was really fun to eventually come to the set because these guys all know each other and I was from Chicago, not Michigan, but within five minutes of stepping on set they were really friendly and welcoming.
BP: We ran an unconventional set, because we'd let the actors come and stand behind the video wall when we were shooting. I don't think it'd be the sort of thing I'd get away with again, but it was kinda like a family thing where everyone did a bit of everything. There are some scenes where you see the guys in radiation suits and Natalie's in there!
NV: Yeah, I'm lead actress and rad-suit guy number nine!
DB: Natalie's character doesn't appear until later in the film. Was it shot in script order, or was Natalie involved from the start to develop the relationships with the other actors?
BP: It wasn't shot in chronological order, but Natalie was there for the whole shoot.
NV: Yeah, I was there from the beginning. Actually I shot more scenes, but they were cut. [Laughs]
BP: Not because you were terrible or anything!
NV: This is testament to the professionalism of the cast, that you can be involved from the start, but accept that what gets cut is for the good of the movie and to improve the flow. I'm extremely happy with it, even though it's only three or four scenes towards the end of the film.
BP: It became a standing joke, because we'd turn up to shoot and do two or three takes and then get kicked out of the location before we'd really nailed the shot. We spent about four weeks going through this, promising Natalie we'd shoot her, but never getting the take. It started to feel like she wasn't even in the movie!
NV: I started to think they got me out on location early just to screw with me. [Laughs]
DB: The scene in the film where you talk to Mike [Kellerman] and he's wearing the seal costume looked like a scene that was fun to shoot. Did you find it hard to keep a straight face while talking to a giant seal?
NV: It was a really fun scene to do. The whiskers on the seal's head really stuck out and had sharp wire inside them, so every time I tried to do the dance with Mike they'd get stuck in my hair. Drew would be standing and shouting, "You need to go that way!" to avoid getting them tangled.
BP: It was one of those scenes I came out of thinking, "This isn't going to work at all", but yeah, it works just fine.
DB: One of the movie's strengths is the relationship between the two central characters, Mike Kellerman and Brent Guthrie, was it difficult to find the actors to create such a convincing pair?
BP: Mike we'd known for years, he's an old friend of ours and we had him pegged for the role which is kinda obvious seeing as he's named Mike too. But we still gave him a hard time, we made him come in and read against other actors and we even let other actors read for the part. The hardest part was that we couldn't find Brent. Our assistant director suggested a friend of his so I met up with him and I knew straight away. I rang Drew, who was working in Michigan at the time, and said, "I think I found our guy".
Ross [Kidder] came in and did an audition and it was terrible! I was totally depressed because I'd told Drew I'd found the guy. We decided to give him one more chance, because he's such a nice guy and I knew he could do it. He came over to Mike's apartment and I brought my camera. We shot three scenes from the script and I just knew he was right at that point. I called Drew and said "We've got our Mike and Brent!" We were so happy because at that point we were too close to shooting and hadn't found our guy.
DB: Natalie, did you bond well with the two lead actors?
NV: Yeah totally. I didn't get that much time to interact with them both, because most of my scenes were with Mike, so I got to know Ross better after the shoot. But I got on with them really well, right from the start. It was funny in the scenes we have together, we were all cracking ridiculously inappropriate jokes between takes which was completely different from the characters who were supposed to be in love [laughs]. We had such fun.
BP: Really, our actors had potty-mouths and it was hard to get them not to say something inappropriate at the wrong time [laughs].
DB: You've taken the film round various festivals so far, how has the response been?
BP: It's been great, honestly better than we could have hoped for. Frightfest is our first genre festival so I think we're more excited here because it's the right crowd. The other ones were traditional [mixed genre] festivals, but the crowds seemed to love the movie. We sold out a midnight show at the Traverse City Film Festival in a beautiful 600-seater theatre, we had a huge crowd and all these people showed up dressed as zombies so it was awesome. People come in and expect a zombie movie, which it is, but it has a broader appeal. Lots of women, who aren't necessarily horror fans or wouldn't normally like a zombie movie, say, "I loved it!".
DB: Once the festival circuit is over do you have plans for another movie or are you resting on your laurels for a while?
BP: Natalie's got a couple of films she's shooting...
DB: Horror films?
NV: I'm hoping to find my next horror film here, that would be ideal! No, I'm shooting a crime drama next and Ross [Kidder] is also in it. We'll be shooting that in the next two months in LA, and I'm also attached to a comedy project that's scheduled to start shooting in spring next year. I really want to do a horrible horror film, you know, like I'm running through a cornfield being chased by some guy with a chainsaw.
DB: How's your blood-curdling scream, do you practise?
NV: [Laughs] I have a pretty big mouth.
BP: Drew and I are working on a Halloween script, a film that's set at Halloween. Kind of an Evil Dead 2-ish movie that plays on all the legends of the holiday like Samhain. Our goal is to make the ultimate Evil Dead 2 style movie that people will watch every year at Halloween.
DB: Guys, thanks so much for your time, it was a pleasure talking to you.
BP/NV: You're welcome!

The Lumenier 2400kv RX2205 and RB2205C "Skitzo" limited edition motors fill a gap in Lumenier's multi-rotor motor lineup, by hitting the sweetspot of power and weight.
With a 2400kv rating and 2205 stator size the new RX and RB 2205 slot in perfectly between the Lumenier RX2204 and RX2206 motors, some of the most popular drone racing and FPV freestyle motors on the market. With this new 2205, Lumenier now offers very granular motor choices from 2204, 2205, and 2206 across various kv ratings providing you great choice when specifying your build components. The new 2205 motors come in at sub 24g continuing Lumenier's tradition of creating some of the lightest racing motors on the market.
The Lumenier 2205 motors comes in two versions. This RX2205 leverages stainless steel bearings and silver anodized, CNC-ed aluminum components while the RB2205 "Skitzo" limited edition comes in a lush purple color and deploys high quality ceramic ball bearings. Ceramic ball bearings have long been deployed in RC applications such as high performance car racing and offer the benefit of increased life span, cooler running temperatures, and super smooth and quiet performance. Lumenier is among the first brushless motor companies to deploy ceramic ball bearings in the 22 motor size for multi rotor applications.
Carefully assembled and dynamically balanced in Lumenier's climate controlled facility, the Lumenier 2205 motors deploy new glue technology, application robots for even glue distribution, and advanced curing procedures to ensure magnets won't slip -- even under the tremendous demands put on them during drone racing and FPV freestyle events.

With one down in the second, Wainwright dropped a single into right after being in an 0-2 hole. Jon Jay crossed up the Bucs and dropped a bunt single up the third base side to set up the Cards, but Locke worked out of it with no damage. Garrett Jones opened the Buc half with an opposite field knock, but a Presley bouncer back to the box cleaned the bases 1-6-3. Clint Barmes followed with a single up the middle. Locke K'ed, but at least the order turned over. It's been a long pair of frames; Locke is at 48 pitches and Wainwright at 45.
Holliday opened the third by banging one high off the Clemente Wall; it was reviewed, ruled in play, and he had a long single. As David Freese K'ed on a ball in the dirt, Holliday stole second and went to third when Descalso's dribbler in front of the plate became an infield single. The squibbler cost the Bucs a run when Tony Cruz rolled one softly to the left side; Barmes' only play was to first and it was 3-1. An intentional walk set up a Wainwright K. Locke has given up a couple of hard shots, but the balls rolled in the dirt have been his problem tonight. With one down in the Bucco half, The Kid caught a curve and sent it over the Clemente Wall, no review needed, to make it 3-2, his first yard ball in a month.
Beltran turned on a changeup with one away in the fourth and doubled to left. With two down, Holliday collected his third hit to score Beltran, a single through the right side, and moved to second on the play at the plate. Freese bounced out, but Locke has given up a career high 10 hits (five grounders that got through and two infield knocks); regression on all those balls in play is catching up to him. Jones singled to right with one down. A force out later, Barmes dropped a soft flare into right. It kissed the chalk for a double, and Presley touched home with the Bucs' third run. Josh Harrison came up to hit for Locke, who has tossed 87 pitches in four frames, and bounced out.
Vin Mazzaro took over in the fifth and worked a clean frame. Marte started it off for Pittsburgh with a bunt hit, winning a bang-bang call at first, stole second, and moved to third on a Walker ground out. He came in on a sac fly by Cutch to tie the score. Wainwright started the sixth with his second hit, a grounder up the middle. Jay got a call in his favor on a 2-2 delivery, but went to the well once too often and K'ed looking. Two routine outs later, it was the Bucs' turn again. Martin led off with an infield knock. Jones liner to right center was run down by Beltran. Presley fished at a full count backfoot curve as Martin was off on the pitch, and the strike 'em out, throw 'em out ended the frame.
Tony Watson climbed the bump in the seventh, and JT went to right in a double switch. With an out, Freese singled up the middle. Descalso banged one to third; Pedro booted it trying to make the throw to second, and a pair of Redbirds were aboard. Cruz hit one that Watson had to play, moving up the runners as he was barely tossed out at first. There they stayed, as Watson K'ed Pete Kozma. Wainwright worked a routine frame. He didn't have his best stuff, but gave Mike Matheny a break by lasting seven and giving a respite to a busy and battered bullpen.
With an out in the eighth, Jay singled through the left side; the Card balls are finding grass instead of gloves. Not so with Beltran, who ripped one to the center field track, but Cutch was there; guess it evens out. Tony fed Craig four straight changeups, and he tapped the last one back to Watson to end the frame. Trevor Rosenthal replaced Wainwright, and Walker greeted him with a single. Cutch flew out, and Pedro took one to the track in left that fell just short and into Holliday's glove, with Walker tagging. It was a key 90'; Martin punched a slider into left center, and the Bucs had the lead for the first time tonight. He was caught stealing a couple of pitches later, but did his job just fine. Russ got an ovation after he was thrown out, and the team got one when they came out for the ninth; the joint is hoppin'.
Mark the Shark claimed the hill for the close. Grounder to Walker, soft liner to Walker and...nah, the last out was a K, freezing Daniel Descalso with a hook. Maybe they are the best team in baseball, even without any deadline help. The crowd sure thinks so; every game of this series, they've amped it up a little more. And hey, pretty good drama for ESPN tonight, too. Maybe they'll be back.
Locke is the poster child for regression. But he could help himself by regaining some of that early aggressiveness; instead of keeping everything just off the edges, he'd be better served by nicking the corners to keep out of deep and hitters' counts. But the Bucs picked him up against the Card ace, and the bullpen put up five zeroes. That's a tough combo to beat. And who'd of thunk Charlie Morton was looking to broom the Redbirds against Joe Kelly tomorrow night?
- Pirates are now 23 or more games over .500 entering August for the first time since 1972.
- Tonight's attendance: 31,679. The house has been pretty full for every game of the series, but the count is a little low because ticket exchanges count for the original game, not the one attended.
- The Bucs picked up good glove, light-hitting utility infielder Robert Andino from Seattle for a PTBNL. He cleared waivers in May and was in AAA, and the Pirates assigned him to Indy.
- The Fort did more than get his knee "stuck." Mike McKenry had meniscus surgery today and will be out for the rest of the season. He's expected to be back at 100% for spring training.
- Travis Snider's injury is turf toe; he's suffered from it since late last season, and is now in a boot.
- Jameson Taillon went his scheduled five innings tonight and allowed one run on four hits with six strikeouts for Altoona.

Have you heard any of these terms: "limiting belief" or "unsupportive thought" or "unconscious assumptions"? What do these terms mean and why should it matter to you?
It is important to know that dealing with whatever you want to call them is the difference between achieving your dreams and staying stuck.
How self-limiting belief works
One of the coaches I work with often creates contests to motivate us to take actions she would like us to take.
If I don't believe I have any chance of winning the contest, I either don't take the action to win or take half-hearted steps towards winning.
Sometimes I feel conflicted about participating. A part of me would like to win the prize, but another part of my is weighing what work I could be getting done if I were devoting that same time and efforts to other projects.
Again, my conflicted psyche will not lead me to win this or any contest.
And it works exactly the same way in your business and life.
What to do
So what's a gal or guy to do?
- Know what your unconscious beliefs are. Often this is difficult to do with yourself and this is why people hire coaches and consultants. But if you simply make a list of everything you a) feel guilty about, b) have doubts about, c) worry about, or d) are obligations you feel mixed about, your list will give you good insights into what some of your limiting beliefs actually are.
- Write them down and upgrade the thought. For example, if I have a limiting belief that I can't generate the revenue I desire in my business and take good care of myself, I create internal resistance. I either have to have revenue at the cost of self care, or have great self-care and be broke! An upgraded thought would be, "I do know some people who have financially successful businesses and take great care of themselves." An upgraded thought from there could be, "I bet there are habits or practices these people do that allow them to have profitable businesses and take great care of themselves." This thought could then be upgraded to, "I bet I could learn these habits from these people by observing them, reading materials they wrote, or even hiring them as mentors, so that I, too, could generate good revenue and have great self care."
- Incorporate the new beliefs into your conscious mind. I have a list of my new supportive believes that I create from doing this process. I plan to record them on my phone and listen to them regularly to reinforce the new thoughts I want to adopt.
By going through this process, you are working with your brain and your emotions as they are designed so that all of you is on board towards your achieving your goals and dreams.
Identifying and addressing your unconscious beliefs is not fluff. It is critical that you devote time to finding and addressing them. Continuing to operate with a negative belief system makes movement towards your vision seem like jogging through a swimming pool.
Christian Entrepreneur Biz and Life Tip: When you make identifying, addressing, and upgrading your limiting beliefs a regular practice, you will look back and discover how old limiting beliefs that used to hold you back look completely ridiculous and are not reflected in your daily life one bit.

Under 8 & Under 10 Football Coaching
Coaching for boys and girls of this age group restarts this Saturday morning March 20th from 10 to 11 am. We ask parents to make sure that all children are properly dressed to suit the weather conditions on the morning. For those that haven't already paid their membership, please note that the annual membership and insurance cost for all children that participate is 20 euro.
Park Lighting
The official turning on of our lights took place last Saturday night with a large crowd in attendance. The switching on was performed by our county team representative Shane Foley. Our chairman Dermot Heeran made the opening speech on the night. We wish to thank Joe Flynn and Seamus Prior Connaught Council, the County Board, Musco Lighting, PJ Meehan and everyone on the Park Committee, National Lottery, Stephen Garvey and to everyone who sold tickets and all who supported us in our fundraising draw last year to raise the vital funds for the lighting. We thank everyone who helped out getting the pitch ready for the night, to our stewards, Mick Maye and the Gardai, to the Ladies team and to all who came along and supported us on the night, a big thank you. Sadly, on the pitch a win wasn't to be on the night for our Senior team as the visitors Annaduff moved up a gear in the second half to seal a comfortable win.
We are currently looking for volunteers for washing the sets of jerseys each week. This will be done on a rota basis so anyone interested in volunteering could contact chairman Dermot Heeran 0872286602. You help with this small duty would be gratefully appreciated.
Final reminder to parents, players and supporters that membership must be paid up before 31st March or they will be removed off the text service.
Our ballad group and novelty act participated in the Senior SCOR finals on Saturday night last. Despite getting no silverware, the two acts did our club proud with their performances on the night. We thank each one of you for all your hard work and effort over the past few weeks, preparing for the event and representing the club. We look forward to seeing you back again next year. Thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday night to the Canon Donohue Hall in Mohill to show their support for the participants.

Amarillo Crime Stoppers is asking for help locating robbery suspects involved in an incident in east Amarillo.
About 2:15 p.m. July 17, a man stopped to make a purchase at Pilot Truck Stop, 715 Lakeside Drive. On his way back to his vehicle, he was approached by a white male, 40 to 50 years old and standing 6 feet tall, who asked for assistance.
Police said the victim followed the man between two tractor-trailers parked behind the store and became suspicious as they began to approach a group of three or four men.
The suspects grabbed the victim by his arms and around his neck, covered his mouth and forced him against the side of a truck trailer.
The victim told police he felt what he thought was a handgun pressed against his head as the men took cash and a wallet from his pocket. After the robbery, the suspects ran south to a motel parking lot and the victim told police he saw two of them get into a black Lincoln Navigator. One of the suspects dropped the wallet as they ran, police said.
A truck driver who witnessed the robbery described two of the suspects, police said. Both were described as white males, around 25 years old, one wearing a blue hooded shirt with "Hercules" written on the back, a camouflage ball cap, and khaki cargo shorts and the other wearing a black T-shirt. The third suspect had short red hair, pale skin and was wearing a white T-shirt and khaki cargo shorts.
Call Amarillo Crime Stoppers at 806-374-4400 or submit a tip online at amapolice.org. Callers remain anonymous.

August 1, 2013
Dear Participating Musician:
Enclosed is a check that represents your portion of the distribution from the Sound Recording Special Payments Fund (Fund) for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013. You must cash or deposit this check by October 29, 2013, since the Funds bank will not honor checks submitted for payment after that date. In addition, enclosed for your reference is a statement of your reported scale wages, if any, for calendar year 2012.
The Funds total distribution this year is $6,105,000.* This amount is about 13% less than last year, due primarily to lower contributions on sales of sound recordings from record companies. Contributions were down about $1.0 million each on physical product (e.g. CDs) and digital downloads, or $1.9 million in total. The decline in contributions was partially offset by a $524,000 decrease in compliance audit expenses over the prior year1, a $170,000 increase in compliance audit collections and a $105,000 decrease in general and administrative expenses.
At the Fund, we are dedicated to locating and paying every musician who has an unpaid distribution, so Im pleased to report that, like last year, over 98% of this years total distribution will be paid out to musicians, leaving less than 2% due to musicians whom the Fund is unable to locate. While this is again one of the highest payout percentages in the history of the Fund, there are still over 2,200 musicians that have not claimed money due them for one or more of the past three distribution years. You can help us to locate some of these musicians by reviewing the Money Owed Musicians link on the Funds website, sound-recording.org, and alerting your fellow musicians to contact us to claim the money due them.
I encourage you to visit sound-recording.org, which is the best place to get useful information and facts about the Fund, as well as answers to your frequently asked questions. At the website you can view your prior years tax and scale-wage statements, update changes to your address and other personal information, sign up for direct deposit (available for U.S. banks only) and print a beneficiary designation form. Using the website also helps reduce the Funds administrative expenses. So please, take a few moments to explore the site.

1 The Fund made a special distribution of $7,010,000 on May 15, 2013, based on a settlement agreement with the major record companies in 2012 on all audit claims through 2011. As part the settlement agreement, the parties are working toward developing a new simplified contribution formula. Since the new formula has not yet been determined and it will affect how the 2012 major record company audits will be performed, the Fund has placed these audits on hold and as a result incurred no audit-related expenses.
* Below is a summary comparison of financial information related to the annual distributions for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2013 and 2012:

Pumpkin Caramel Cheesecake Turtle Bread
Pumpkin Bread:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup pumpkin puree(plain, not the already made pumpkin pie kind)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup canola oil
2 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup light brown sugar, loosely packed
Caramel Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
¼ cup brown sugar, tightly packed
2 TBSP Lyle's Golden Syrup
2 TBSP Caramel Sauce (store bought or homemade)
1 TBSP all-purpose flour
1 large egg
Chocolate Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
¼ cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
2-4 TBSP milk (depending on how thick you want your glaze)
Caramel Sauce (store bought or homemade)
1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
Preheat oven to 325F.
Lightly grease and flour three mini loaf pans (3 ½ -x- 5 inch).
Using a stand mixer (or a medium bowl and electric beaters) with the paddle attachment, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, syrup and caramel sauce for about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add egg and beat for another minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of bowl and add flour. Beat flour into mixture until fully incorporated. If using stand mixer, transfer cheesecake filling to a separate bowl. Set aside. If using the stand mixer, clean and dry the bowl to use again.
In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
Using a stand mixer (or a medium bowl and electric beaters) with the paddle attachment, place pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, and sugars into the bowl and beat for about 1 minute.
Add flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture and mix just until combined. This is a quick bread so you don't want to over mix.
Pour half of the pumpkin bread batter evenly into the three prepared loaf pans (I find it best to use an ice cream scoop. I like to use 2 scoops for the bottom). Spread the batter out evenly.
Spoon cheesecake mixture on top of pumpkin batter layer, a little less than 2/3 of a cup.
Scoop the remaining batter on top of the cheesecake layer, again about 2 ice cream scoops worth.
If you don't want to bother with the layering you can just spoon some pumpkin batter, then cheesecake, then pumpkin batter again and use a knife to make swirls in the bread. Tastes just as good.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool bread in pans for 10 minutes.
Remove bread from pans and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Let bread cool completely before glazing.
Chocolate Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder and 2 TBSP of milk until smooth and glossy. If you want a thinner glaze add more milk, 1 TBSP at a time.
Pour chocolate glaze over bread, about 1/3 cup each. Sprinkle pecans on top of the glaze. Followed by extra caramel sauce if desired (but really, why wouldn't you want it ).

If there's a growing divide between haves and have-nots in this country, our federal government is doing what can only in fairness be characterized as a piss-poor job of helping the have-nots.
Since coming to power in 2015, Justin Trudeau's government has raised, not lowered income taxes, for 61% of Canadian families in the bottom 20% of wage earners, a new Fraser Institute study reveals.
That works out on average to $269 in extra tax paid annually by the poorest of the working poor — not enough perhaps to lift any individual family out of need, but certainly enough to cause some pain.
"Ottawa has enacted a series of tax changes that have actually raised income taxes on hundreds of thousands of Canadian families in the bottom 20%," report co-author Charles Lammam, director of fiscal studies at Fraser, said in a release.
Those tax changes include the signature Liberal tax reduction to the second lowest federal income bracket – to 20.5% from 22%.
Fraser's study on the bottom 20% of low-income families (who make as much as $66,448 annually, though most far less) found
most low-income families don't earn enough to benefit from the Liberal tax cut.
With the other hand, the Liberals clawed back tax breaks that helped low-income families — including income splitting, child fitness and public transit tax credits.
Government transfers make up the other side of the taxation coin, and complicate the overall picture for low-income families.
The Liberals replaced a $2,000 Conservative Family Tax Cut with a new $2,500 Universal Child Care Benefit.
In fairness, low-income families may be marginally better off once that benefit is factored in, Lammam admitted.
However, while tax cuts allow families to keep more of their own money, government transfers come with a catch.
"Perversely, as families earn more money those transfers get reduced," Lammam said.
"Families are losing money as they earn more."
That acts as a real and considerable disincentive for those trying to climb their way up the economic ladder.
"What is the path toward lower-income families moving toward the middle class?" Lammam asks.
"(The Liberals) want to help families join the middle class but this is the wrong way to go about it," he said of the benefit.
"Instead of encouraging hard work and success, they're penalizing families."
Meanwhile, middle-class families fare no better under the Liberals and in a separate study released last month, Fraser found
81% of middle-class families pay higher income taxes under the Trudeau government.
Tax hikes, it seems, are instinctive to the Liberal psyche, the ointment for every irritation, answer to every predicament.
Even and paradoxically, it seems, when it comes to helping lift the poor from their difficult circumstances.

Based on data accumulated over the years, I've developed a hypothesis that Burlington County Footlighters' Second Stage possesses a formula for excellent shows. This derivative is congruent with the mode of an outstanding theatre company. I figured the probability of them continuing to do so variable in proportion to their locus of material. Their operation has proved my theory many times, but the outcome usually defies logic. The product they delivered in the form of Proof took their reputation to another plane.
I had the opportunity to evaluate this event on its opening night June 17th. I'm pleased to write that my reflection will not be a mean one. That's a good 'sine.' Director Jillian Starr-Renbjor's translation of the text into a stage production made for a terrific outcome.
I enjoyed the plot's complexity. There seemed no limit to the quantity of conflict. Catherine (played by Rachel Comenzo) struggled to cope with her father's death, her abrasive sister's badgering her to move to New York, and the professional and possibly personal interests of one of her father's former students. All this drama may seem unequal to the boundaries of a two hour show. But there was more. At the midpoint the play centered on Catherine's revelation of an oblique proof of unknown origin: one that could revolutionize the field of mathematics.
When I discovered that Rachel Comenzo would be playing the role of a 'math geek' it didn't add up. Much to her credit, the moment the show opened, she became the character. While the large glasses, sweat suit and hair worn back fit Catherine's appearance, Ms. Comenzo became her. I liked her utilization of quick dialog and snappy swearing. The way she'd pause and with a wry smile sarcastically reply to Claire's (played by Betty Moseley) strained questioning showed exceptional artistic aptitude. In the scenes prior to Catherine's father passing away she adjusted her speaking to a more deliberate pace. Emile Zola once observed that: "To be an artist requires the gift. To have the gift requires hard work." Ms. Comenzo showed me that she took the time to really understand and immerse herself in the character.
Watching Ms. Comenzo in a role this complex was the key feature of this run. In the past I've watched her play Bonnie (in Bonnie and Clyde), Morticia (in The Addams Family: A New Musical Comedy) and Curley's wife (in Of Mice and Men). I found all of those characters to be one-dimensional, but the strength of Ms. Comenzo's performances made every one of them interesting and memorable. I wondered how she would play a strong, multi-dimensional character. Her performance proved she was equal to the task. It's a struggle for me to find the proper superlatives to describe how well she brought Catherine to life.
DJ Hedgepath once again showed why the theatre is his prime domain. As expected, this thespian displayed his superior range as a performer. Hal's character required him to display the traits of a nervous suitor, a studious mathematician and a person with questionable motives; at least in the other characters' perceptions. Mr. Hedgepath convincingly depicted them all.
As they function so well together, I welcomed the opportunity to watch Ms. Comenzo and Mr. Hedgepath share the same stage again. The contrasts between their characters allowed their reciprocal skills to feed off one another. She playing the intellectual struggling with powerful inner demons, he as her father's ambitious former student. In Proof these opposites became an ordered pair. Their enactments showed why these two masters are fast becoming icons on the South Jersey Community Theatre circuit.
Becky Moseley delivered a solid performance as Claire. Her character couldn't seem to get along with anybody except a few partying mathematicians, but I really enjoyed watching her. I liked her performance best during her first scene with Ms. Comenzo. The way Ms. Moseley established tension through her delayed delivery and short questions made the dialog reminiscent of Harold Pinter. I felt uncomfortable listening to her interrogation. That's the kind of emotional response great performers bring about in audience members.
Bernard Dicasimirro took on the challenging role of Robert: a brilliant mathematician who deteriorated into a mentally imbalanced man. I always applaud performers who select these types of characters. In a sense one has to play two distinctly unique personalities during the same evening. Just like a well-educated intellectual Mr. Dicasimirro spoke very professionally and calmly in his lucid scenes. Then he ranted like a madman while explaining his groundbreaking proof to Catherine. I'd read the play, but I even jumped when he ordered Catherine to read it.
Some unnerving statistics bothered me about this show. The set had a smaller surface area than the mainstage at Footlighters, but it still seemed unequal to the lack of people in the audience. Aside from myself, I noticed only two other people who aren't community theater performers in South Jersey. I read Proof before I saw it on the stage. While the prospect of going out on Friday or Saturday night to watch a play about math may not sound like a great option, it does explore a great human drama.
A dedicated cast and crew with the addition of a great director factor into all of BCF Second Stage's presentations. Upon reflection I've found that in all probability a normal show for them will contain great emotional power; the origin of which will be the degree of talent from the combination of the performers. Their presentation of David Auburn's Pulitzer Prize Winning play wasn't an outlier. The frequency Footlighters' Second Stage puts on such dramas is the difference. The volume of their quality of work gives them a unique angle. The $10 price tag made this showing an absolute value. For those needing an entertaining evening out in the Cinnaminson area this June, I'd rate seeing Proof the best solution to that problem.

CSS South Quadrant School in England Observes Holocaust Memorial Day with IWitness
Students at CSS South Quadrant in England observed Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27 with a unique IWitness installation led by teacher Tony Cole.
CSS South Quadrant, in Basildon, Essex, holds a cross-curricular week across its three school sites to coincide with Holocaust Memorial Day each year. From Jan. 26-30, 2015, the school observed this year's theme, "Keeping Memory Alive."
One of the activities Cole and his fellow teachers organized was to have every classroom in the three sites (over 60 rooms) 'adopt' one of the extermination, concentration, or labor camps for the week. Each room displayed photographs and information about the camp it 'adopted.' Each room also 'adopted' a survivor from the camp allocated to that room, and students using the room were shown testimonies from the designated survivor via IWitness. Over the week, students watched a number of survivor testimonies in different classrooms, including survivors of various concentration camps and backgrounds.
CSS South Quadrant is a specialized school for "hard to reach" students, who have social, emotional, behavioral or physical needs. There, Cole has incorporated IWitness into his teaching and development of Holocaust resources through his work with the Centre for Holocaust Education at the University of London's Institute of Education. Through the Centre's Beacon Schools program, schools all over the country work in partnership with the Centre for Holocaust Education to improve teaching standards, raise student achievement and strengthen SMSC (spiritual, moral, social and cultural) provision in their schools.
CSS South Quadrant is a Beacon School. The focus of Cole and his colleagues' work with the Centre for Holocaust Education over the past year has been to differentiate the Institute of Education's approach and materials for teaching about the Holocaust to meet the needs of these 'hard to reach' students.

Needless to say i did as i was told.She gave me 25 smacks with a big hair brush.Afterward i was told to disrobe completely and get in the other corner and put my hands behind my head.After 10 minutes her husband and me were ordered to kneel at her feet and kiss them. She then told us that she would like us to do 69 on each other, i said i didn't think i wanted to do that,i was grabbed by my neck and pulled across her lap and was given 50 smacks until i had tears running down my cheeks,i said i'm ready.She took me off her lap and put me on the floor and wiped away the tears,now a want you boys to perform for me.Well needless to say,this has been going on for quite awhile.

INTENSE ATTRACTION. Amidst a burgeoning number of light and fresh scented spring perfumes, Dolce&Gabbana breaks new ground with the new fragrance Intenso.
Infused with a smooth woody aroma and green accents of basil and lavender, the Intenso introduces a brand new ingredient in the olfactory world: the Moepel accord. This strong note comes from flowers and leaves of the Milkwood tree that are recreated using Headspace technology—a method of "capturing" the odor of a substance using a bell-jar-like apparatus. This adds a touch of rich sensuality to the blend, making it perfectly suited to dashing individuals, just like Irish actor Colin Farrell, who is also the face of Intenso's campaign.

Last month, the University of Washington hosted both NIRSA Northwest and Northwest FitFest. Within the span of a week, the university campus recreation team provided both students and staff in the Pacific Northwest with numerous engagement, networking and professional development opportunities.
While hosting two events in one week was a challenge, the coordinators share highlights and takeaways from each event.
CR: What were some of the preparations that were involved with hosting these events?
"For NIRSA Northwest, we had a planning team with a number of folks from across our department who started working in the late fall. That was when we picked our dates and we started getting things moving," said Adam Serafin, the associate director for communications and development. "It was a lot of work. We met weekly and divided out tasks and responsibilities — some folks taking on registration and communication, others logistics, food and all those things. We had a fantastic team that put in a lot of work. The rest of our staff outside of that team volunteered during the week for set-up, cleanup, session monitors, and check-in — all of those things. It was a great opportunity to get our staff involved with volunteering, but also attending and brining professional development into our space."
CR: What was one of the biggest challenges?
"Northwest FitFest was definitely a bigger turn out than we were expecting," said Jaron Burke, a student lead for the event. "We were expecting around 50 people, but we ended up having just over 80 people register. So we had to shift our plan as the registration numbers were coming in to accommodate those increased numbers, and make sure everyone could still get the same experience, even though we had so many people. It was a great challenge to have. We were happy to host that many people."
CR: What was one of the highlights of the events?
"I attended both the NIRSA and the FitFest sessions and for me the most valuable thing is what happens in the space between. So what happens while sessions are changing or during breakfast, lunch or dinner," explained Jessica Norman, fitness coordinator. "Really connecting with colleagues, networking and hearing from students. Those informal conversations that happen in the transition times are what I find to be very valuable and keeps me connected to individuals after the conference is over."
CR: What advice would you give to others who might want to do something similar?
"Start early, but definitely do it," suggested Serafin. "We had such a committed and amazing planning team that made it work. But it was just really special to bring folks together from across the region and take pause from their day-to-day to be able to build those relationships. It is so important to the work we do. There is so much great work happening at other campuses, we have a lot to learn from one another. It was so valuable and worth it for our staff to be able to experience something like that."
*Serafin noted none of it would have been possible without their sponsor, Precor. Stay tuned for an in-depth look at the sponsorship and tips on how to make a successful partnership work.

Mass Notification Alert Systems — Pennsylvania & Beyond
We live in an unpredictable world where an emergency can occur at any time. Organizations such as large corporations, small businesses and churches must be prepared to notify their employees or members of a serious situation at a moment's notice to increase the likelihood of a positive outcome and minimize their risks. Or maybe there are lower lever communication needs such as the closure of a building or even group reminder of an event.
Towne Monitoring Service offers advanced Express Message services that allow you to reach people promptly, efficiently and cost-effectively during an emergency. We serve the mass notification needs of organizations of all types and sizes in Pennsylvania and beyond. You'll rest easy knowing you can get the word out to everyone who needs to know.
Customized Emergency Mass Notification System for Your Business
Our Express Message service can be used for emergency and non-emergency notifications alike. Express Message gives you access to a reliable, Web-based mass notification solution that operates independently of your organization's telephone and computer systems. This alleviates concerns about tying up your phone lines or crashing your internet during an emergency. There's no need to make a major investment in hardware or equipment. Sub-groups can be set up in advance to allow for notifications to specific staff or families, and groups can be set up on-the-fly or by geography even to allow for customized communications should the need arise.
Without Limits – There is no limitation to the number of messages sent, the number of times the system is used or even the topic of the message – you are NOT limited to emergency only communications as some systems are. Express Message is your tool, to use how you need, without limits.
You'll also have the flexibility to send alerts to your designated groups using any combination of the following methods:
- Text Message (SMS): Our emergency text mass notification system can deliver up to 10,000 messages per hour (165 per minute).
- Phone Calls: Our mass phone notification system can make up to 5,000 non-urgent phone calls per hours and can provide an even higher processing rate during emergencies.
- Emails: Emails are delivered to your group members instantly, regardless of volume.
Individuals can elect to receive messages in the format(s) they prefer. It's also easy to set up and manage group lists and even allow your members to register themselves with the help of our user-friendly Web portal widget, which reduces the burden on your staff members.
Why Choose Towne Monitoring Service as Your Mass Notification Alert System Provider?
Souderton, PA-based Towne Monitoring Service seamlessly integrates capable, well-trained people with state-of-the-art technologies to provide efficient and cost-effective telecommunications solutions for our clients — that's been the focus of our company since the very beginning. Our in-house systems feature built-in redundancies to maximize their reliability and virtually eliminate the risk of failure.
With our reliable system and flexible notification platform, you also receive these benefits:
- Improved communication: Time is of the essence when communicating during an emergency. That's why we ensure your alerts are delivered fast. You can even set up automated emergency notifications in advance to boost your reaction time during an emergency and alert your target audience faster. Our system also ensures your messages reach every recipient — especially those with mild cognitive or visual impartments. It'll read notifications aloud to users and ensure they're alert and aware of ongoing emergencies (when voice messages are chosen).
- Enhanced engagement: Sending messages across multiple platforms, from text messages to phone calls, lets you reach your audience using their preferred form of communication. The result is a compelling message and more engagement, reaches the people who matter most.
- Increased satisfaction: Alerting everyone involved in your organization, from staff to clients, also boosts satisfaction. Without a reliable and fast alert system, employees or customers may commit their time and money to driving to your location only to discover it's closed or inaccessible. A quick notification prevents these events from happening and provides your audience with an improved experience.
- Boosted productivity: Emergencies can dominate your team's time, which makes it difficult for your staff to handle their other daily tasks. Our mass notification alert system reduces the time demands of emergencies by providing a fast alert across key platforms. Your staff can then focus on other key responsibilities or critical assignments, which can help your organization remain operational or return to service faster.
- Decreased costs: Without a mass notification system, notifications can become expensive. Our mass notifications eliminate some of the expenses by helping reduce your staffing costs. Overtime hours, for instance, can decrease by 25 percent, which can lead to a substantial reduction in employee costs. With those cost-savings from our alert system, your organization also receives a return on its investment.
As a mass notification alert system provider for many markets, we ensure our system meets the standards and requirements of your industry. Healthcare organizations, including home healthcare facilities, can depend on our mass notification services because they're fast and reliable and because they meet Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements.
We don't believe that a one-size-fits-all approach is the best way to serve your needs — instead, we'll work with you to create a customized Express Message package that meets your organization's unique mass notification requirements.
Contact Us for More Information About Our Mass Notification Systems Today
Make sure you're ready to communicate with the members of your organization when the inevitable emergency occurs. Contact Towne Monitoring Services today to learn more about the benefits of using our Express Message Service. Give us a ring at 215-723-4316.

Biafra: Igbos Have More Faith In One Nigeria – Ikpeazu
Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu says that people of the South-East have shown more faith in the unity of Nigeria than any other region.
Ikpeazu noted that because of the faith Igbos had in Nigeria, they are found all over the country, including Sambisa Forest.
Governor Ikpeazu during a chat with the press said people of the South East have business ventures scattered all over the country, indicating that they believed in one Nigeria.
According to Ikpeazu, "If the questions we ask in this country today are whether there are inequalities, there are gaps, there are people who don't feel that they have been fairly treated either as an individual or as a family or as a geopolitical zone, the answer is yes.
"There is agitation in the north east, there is agitation in the south west, of course there is agitation in the south east but I dare say that there is no other ethnic group in this country that has as much faith in Nigeria as a country, one united country than the people of the south east, that is why they are in Sambisa.
"You can count how many big businesses belonging to the south westerners that are in Aba. You can count how many big businesses belonging to the people from the north east, north west, north central that you can find in Owerri, you cannot find a four storey building belonging to somebody from the north east anywhere in the south east.
"But if you go to Kano, you don't count three hotels before you count that of somebody from the south east. What it means is that we are the people that have demonstrated faith in the united Nigeria."

so Method 2 is for converting a primary partition into an extended partition/logical volume.
Why cannot we Shrink the primary partition Windows 7 Pro (C: ) without being converted into extended/logical volume???
Can we convert the Primary partition Windows 7 Pro (C: ) into extended/logical volume using discpart????

You can, have a look at this tutorial at the link below, though you must keep in mind the MBR partition limit of four (4) partitions, if you try to force a fifth (5th) partition it may convert the entire disk to a Dynamic disk and that will mess up the way Windows boots and may disable Windows so it will not boot/start at all.
How to Shrink a Partition or Volume in Windows 7
No you have to use the Partition Wizard Boot Disk (PWBD) diskpart won't do it.
First download the PWBD ISO file to the desktop, be sure to get the PWBD and not the installed version; scroll down to see the download link for the bootable CD ISO file at this link below.
Partition Wizard Free Bootable CD
Then use ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD, at no greater than 4x speed with a verify; it was designed for use and works best from a CD rather that a DVD then boot the created CD to make the changes.

Yes Bare Foot Kid, you are right, currently i have four partitions and i have tried to create the volume but windows reported that it will convert the basic disk into dynamic disk and it wont be able to boot.
Thank you very much for the quick reply...... keep up the good work.

Hello again.
Correct, do not convert to a Dynamic disk; converting C: to an Extended/Logical drive should work as long as you have the new Windows 7 "System Reserved" partition or another separate partition presrent that is marked as the "System" volume, where the system boot files are stored.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Hi Bare Foot Kid,
First of all I'm sorry to bring up an old thread, but I figure there's no need to start a new thread as my question is very relevant to the previous ones.
I'm writing from Italy because I have a problem about partition of my new HP DV6 6170 (1 basic HD, 4 Primary partitions). I have some questions:
1) I have already created recovery discs, and an image backup. Now it's possible convert "Recovery" to logical instead of C:?
I think in this way you lose the function F11 (recovery partition) and the ability to create recovery discs, but in addition to this:
a) the C: drive, even if it leans to the drive "system", remains primary, and having inside the OS this may be better (I'm afraid that changing C: boot I
could lose some functionality), do you agree?;
b) even losing the functionality of the F11 key, often you can recover it only by marking the partition as "active" from "disk management" (Start>
Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Computer Management> Disk Management>), it's right?
2) Why if I want to convert C: to logical I have to use necessarily Partition Wizard Free Bootable CD and not the version installed on PC? It would
be the same if I wanted to convert Recovery to logical?
Thanks a lot

Should we believe Obama's words or actions?
"President Barack Obama calls for an end to earmarks and then signs a budget for the rest of this year containing over 8,000 such congressional raids on taxpayers' purses.He calls for a new era of fiscal responsibility and then sends to Congress a ten-year plan for deficits as far ahead as the eye can see.He calls for sacrifices from all and then proceeds to give 95% of American families a tax cut. He promises to revive the housing industry and then asks Congress to reduce the deductibility of mortgage interest.He calls for the reform of the education system and then signs a budget that eliminates funds that keep a few poor kids in private schools, and out of the clutches of the Washington education system's bureaucrats.Confused or cunning? I report, you decide."
Check out this article by Irwin Stelzer in the D.C. Examiner. I heard this guy interviewed on the radio this morning. He presents a pretty articulate list of issues where the things that Obama says and the things that he does differ.

Scott Family Amazeum Launches Unfield Trip Experiences
BENTONVILLE, AR (October 5, 2015) Unfield Trips launched at the Scott Family Amazeum today, further fulfilling the museums mission of engaging the imaginations of children and their families.
As of the end of September, more than 22,000 school children were booked to visit the Amazeum through Unfield Trips in the 2015-16 school year, surpassing the goal of 20,000 for the school year.
The inaugural year of Unfield Trips is made possible in large part by the Walmart Foundation, which is funding the visits for children in Benton and Washington counties.
"A great example of fulfilling the Walmart Foundations strategy of increasing access to the arts and recreational activities is to bring the enriching experience of the Amazeum to more children in the community," said Tricia Moriarty, global responsibility communications director at Walmart.
Mindy Porter, director of education at the Amazeum, said that the first year of school visits is also a learning opportunity for the education staff at the museum.
Were using this first year to better understand how teachers and students use the Amazeum as a learning platform, said Porter. Well continually build a better experience and provide hands-on opportunities to bring classroom learning to life, or to spark a project. Well really take our lead from the educators and students that we serve.
That learning has started even before todays launch. Students and teachers from Willowbrook Elementary School in Bentonville have been putting the education team, floor staff, exhibits, programs, and even the building through its field trip paces. As part of the Declaration of Innovation signed by Bentonville Public Schools and the Scott Family Amazeum in May 2015, Willowbrook students are embarking upon a school year using the Amazeum as a learning platform across grades and subjects. Students are encouraged to share their projects with Amazeum staff who can implement those lessons in the museum.
We look forward to working with all of the schools in Northwest Arkansas to support learning, said Sam Dean, Scott Family Amazeum executive director. But this is also a two-way street. We know that we have a lot to learn about the Amazeum from our guests. After all, this museum didnt come with a set of instructions and a curriculum guide. Were all richer when we share those diverse perspectives.
The goal, according to Dean, is to have a continuously evolving experience that benefits students, teachers, schools, and all guests.
About the Scott Family Amazeum
The Scott Family Amazeum is a hands-on, interactive museum for children and families in Northwest Arkansas. The nearly 50,000-square-foot space, located at the intersection of J Street and Museum Way in Bentonville, engages the imagination of children and their families through hands-on activities and interactive exhibits. Experiences include a climbable tree canopy, indoor cave, an art studio, and more. Exhibitions extend to the museum grounds where approximately one acre of land provides the background for more learning and fun. The Amazeum also features indoor and outdoor event space.

The first thing you'd see if you were to visit the West Cornwall cottage I grew up is a rusted fish on a bamboo pole. It sits just above the garden wall and, depending on how the camellia is doing, catches the last of the daylight before the garden gets a chance.
The fish came home with me on the last night of Wildworks's first show, A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings, in 2005. I was ten years old and played an ancestor child who narrated the performance from the top of a chicken coop, overlooking a story village built on a harbourfront. When my plan to adopt the show chickens failed to convince my parents, they let me take home a prop—and the fish has been there ever since.
It's things like curiosities in garden corners that remind me, while I live and study away at Yale, that I'm really home. This summer I've come home from Connecticut to catch the last rehearsals for Wolf's Child. The journey to Trelowarren offers up more signs of home: I note the cottage lights and the sway of the sea drizzle, how the roads seem to curl in the rain as much as my hair does. As we arrive at the estate, a sign for The Paddock shows the way to the team's gathering place. It, too, feels like a welcome home. The cream canvas tents, the tap coming out of the ground, the makers' dens, are all the village I remember.
Yale so far has been a mystery trip, a time for picking small pockets of the world to explore and the world revealing small secrets about itself. I study English and Film, and hope the two will help on the way to worthwhile projects of my own. But the more ideas I discover, the more excited I am to see how they are made real. Wildworks do this better than anyone I know. For a Mellon Sawyer lecture series last year, I looked at how far their visual language is an analogue to the language of cinema. Now I have the privilege of glimpsing how these stories happen—of stepping around and inside of one.
Rehearsals have begun in the woods, and the stage managers help me find them. In the first patch of trees we come across more Wildworks motifs: hammocks and old televisions, hessian torches. We come out of the trees to "Civilization," a lawn where the great house stands in front of us. A group of crows are tracing the paths they'll coax their beholders down and going over the tales they'll tell them. In this part of the story, to face the house is to turn your back on the woods. But having just come through them they seem to pull you backwards. By the house, the maids practice their catechisms. When they pause there are stirrings and murmurs from behind. I follow the crows toward their next scene, along some sunshot paths, until we come to a woodpile. This clearing feels much darker, and in the story it's where the most important choice is made. Here the shadows fall harder and trees lean inward—as though the choice were really yours and the woods were waiting for it.
The crows' familiarity is assuring and alienating in different moments. They glide through the trees and speak as though they'd long expected you. Then they climb long ladders and lose themselves in the sky, and you remember how far you've wandered. But in this rehearsal, the team seem just as at home. When we deliver costumes, we navigate by nettle patches. Props live in boxes under certain trees—everyone remembers which. There is, in every glade, the feeling that this story belongs to its surroundings rather than on top of them. And it's this feeling that reminds me most of the show on the harbour. I remember how the same flock of birds would pass above the audience at the same time each night. Or how once, on photo day, a rainbow appeared and wrapped itself around the chicken coop, while we were sitting on top.
I got back in touch with Wildworks last summer, for the first time since those years ago. And it was last summer that I found myself, one afternoon, in Bill Mitchell's attic, surrounded by miniatures that looked like scenes I remembered—like terrariums for tales to be. There were past props and relics, medical instruments, paper birds that belonged once to a dress of thousands of them. But everything felt like it fit. "Find yourself an attic" was his advice to me when we discussed how good stories are made. And let the ideas grow there. I realized then how home itself was for me a kind of attic—how much my own work has grown out of this landscape, how the wondertales I grew with were the first things that compelled me to look outwards. The world of the crows reminded me once more that the best ideas come from attics—and how lucky I am to have mine.

Good From Evil
The Bible is very clear that God has nothing to do with evil. There is "no darkness" in God. (I Jn 1:5). Far from intentionally bringing about evil, God's "eyes are too pure to look on evil" (Hab. 1:13). All evil, therefore, must be ultimately traced back to decisions made by free agents other than God. Some of these agents are human. Some of these agents are angelic. Either way, evil originates in their willing, not God's.
This isn't to say that God can't bring good out of evil. Scripture teaches that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him…" (Rom 8:28). As I read this passage, the phrase "works for" (sunergēo) is all important. In the Greek, "sun" is a prefix meaning "with" or "alongside of." "Ergēo" means to work to bring something about (we get the word "energy" from it). So the term literally means to work with or along side other things or other people to bring something about. So, it seems that in this passage God is promising to work with us and alongside the circumstances he finds us in to bring good out of evil.
But think about this in terms of how many conceive of God predetermining every circumstance of history. If "all things" were already an expression of God's will, because God is supposedly behind everything, why would God have to work with us and alongside circumstances to bring good about? If all things are already an expression of God's will, there's nothing outside of God's will for him to work with or along side of.
In this light, I suggest this passage is teaching us not that all things happen for a divine purpose, as though God wills all that comes to pass, but that all things happen with a divine purpose. Whatever comes to pass, however much against God's will it may be, God works to brings a good purpose to it.
He is, after all, an infinitely intelligent God who is able to anticipate each and every possible event as if it were a certainty. Whatever comes to pass, therefore, God has an eternally prepared plan in place on how best to respond to it. I believe this is why the Bible depicts Gods' providence not only as a rule of power, but even more so as a rule of wisdom. If God himself brought things about or faced an eternally pre-settled future, devoid of possibilities, he'd need no wisdom in steering the world toward his objectives.
Wherever you are today … whatever challenges you are facing … wherever you face evil … God is with you, working with you and alongside your circumstances to bring about good. God did not bring about that evil, but he is working to bring good out of it. Even as you read this, ask the Holy Spirit to give you eyes to see this reality.
