Term. This period is usually one or more years, or until the advance is recouped. The artist should make sure it has the right to repay the advance so that the deal does not drag on if sales are slow. The merchandiser will want to have a sell-off period (generally six months) after the deal ends in order to finish selling the goods that were manufactured. However, there should be no right to manufacture any further items.
Territory. The territory can be worldwide or rights can be licensed on a region by region basis.
Creative Control. The artist should insist that it has approval over any artwork which will be marketed so that shoddy or negative merchandise does not enter the marketplace.
The sale of merchandise can be very lucrative depending upon the type of artist because some forms of music lend themselves better to the sale of merchandise. Yet, since most popular artists will enter into some type of merchandising agreement, knowledge of the parameters of the contract will help ensure a fair deal.

2017 Toyota Venza Release Date Car Review Specs- Numerous fans are seeking after the most current 2017 Toyota Venza discharge. The earlier year was additionally a year when everyone was trusting of seeing this model turn out and right now be accessible, however in spite of the way that there were numerous tease and suspicions about the auto it didn't get made toward the end. This just makes us further trust that they chose to spare everything and regroup and return one year from now with a form that they are content with presetting.
The first Toyota Venza SUV was an auto made by the Japanese creator's car organization in 2008 interestingly and was acquainted with the North American business sector at the greatest stage at the Detroit Auto Show. The auto immediately advocated its desires and rapidly became well known as it was the ideal for quick access through different territories. Its swoopy manner was an impeccable expansion and a to a great degree great expansion to the Toyota run in those days. The vehicle is currently getting an upgrade that was bound to happen. The fans are eager to discover that there are numerous parts that will be changed and made to seem more contemporary that it really is. The auto is getting a decent and an exceptionally pleasant model change and we are hoping to get it by one year from now. The photos that were initially offered for the earlier year discharge are currently going to be the premise for what the forthcoming model is going to really look. Perused about it in this survey and see what the upgrade holds. As usual, the new 2017 Toyota Venza is as yet going to be accessible in three diverse trim levels, the LE, XLE and Limited trims. The LE will be the base structure and it gives the idea that it will be an extremely decent offer with a significant number intriguing augmentations made as standard parts of hardware here. The auto is going to utilize the 19 inch combination wheels as standard and include a considerable amount of things within, the USB/iPod interface, programmed atmosphere control, Bluetooth and CD player, a touch screen infotainment interface and a warmed driver's seat too. The XLE trim on the other side gives us some higher upgrades with keyless ignition, inside cowhide upholstery, Smartphone mixes framework, warmed front seats, back perspective camera, power collapsing mirrors and obviously some exchanged elements from the base level also. The most astounding and the highest point of the rack Limited trim gets some cutting edge hardware as Xenon head lights, an updated 13 speaker sound framework, an all encompassing sunroof, double zone programmed atmosphere control, a route framework and front and back stopping sensors. As usual, all demonstrates will be ready to oblige five travelers in the meantime while there will be some shading upgrades that are being offered both for within and outside of the auto. In the event that we look at the outside stride of the auto we can promptly see that it takes after the FT-SX 2005 idea model. The premise that is utilized is really an inviting search for the auto which is expecting to look considerably more forceful than it really was some time recently. This can particularly be seen from the additional components that vehicle has been fitted with, The auto now advertisements an overhauled chrome covered grille which represents an all the more intense looking appearance of the auto. The headlights and the taillights have both gotten another style outline which really coordinates truly well with the new look of the auto now. The headlights get another triangular configuration while the back ones have a more adjusted one. Likewise the wheelbase of the vehicle has been ordered a bit which will represent more solace and extravagance within which is the underlying point of the update of the auto. There are far less data accessible with regards to the motor specs about the 2017 Toyota Venza. The greater part of the audits don't indicate what the auto is going to have and it was the same thing back year when we were at the crest of getting the motor. The model is get together having a great deal of inconvenience getting the privilege powertrain inside it and it can prompt a few inconveniences when thinking of a discharge date for the auto. The data that we do have is that there are a great deal of alternatives added to the blend. The auto may utilize a 2.7 liter motor that conveys 181 drive and 246 Nm of torque and a the six rate programmed gearbox. There are likewise discusses the Venza getting a 3.5 liter V6 motor choice which may be a discretionary one conveying 33 Nm of torque and 268 pull. The presently accessible EPA rating express that the base variant may deliver 20/26/22 mpg while the later one the capacity to make 18 mpg city, 25 mpg expressway and 21 mpg consolidated.
The at present cost is still not accessible for the 2017 Toyota Venza but rather as it shows up it will lessen between $ 30 000 and $ 40 000 which is a proper estimating for this style of an auto. The discharge date is still obscure however we are seeking after a discharge before the end of 2017.

I just returned from a conference where I was reminded of the privilege and honour I have as a wife to pray for my husband. And Ladies, lifting your husband before the Lord is one of the most important things you will do—and you need to do it daily.
I loved this conference session because the instructor, Bethany Donaldson, does something I love. She prays Scripture. Praying Scripture is a powerful prayer because when you pray God's Word, you are praying God's will. And I don't know about you, but I want my husband to be in God's will.
If you want to join me in this pursuit of prayer on behalf of our husbands, here are some Scriptures you can pray. Insert your husband's name.
Lord, Please answer me when I call. Be gracious with me and hear my prayer. Give ear to my words and consider my groaning. Give attention to the sound of my cry, for to You, I pray.
I lift up (insert name) before you, asking that he may be filled with knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so he may walk in a manner worthy of You, fully pleasing to You, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of you. It is my prayer that his love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that he may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
May he look beyond his own interests and be concerned about others and seek Your kingdom first. May he delight in your Word and meditate on it day and night. May he delight in your commands and be blessed by You.
Keep him above reproach, keep him from being arrogant or quick-tempered, drunk, violent, or greedy. Instead, may he desire to be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. May he hold firm to the trustworthy word that is taught so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
May he flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. May he put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh to gratify its desires. May he submit himself to You, resist the devil until the devil flees from him, and draw nearer to You.
Father God, please make his way straight, spread your protection over him, cover him with favour as a shield. Lead him in Your righteousness.
These beautiful words are not mine, dear sisters. They are the very words of God prayed back to Him. They are God's will for my husband. They are God's will for your husband. And praying His will is a very powerful prayer.
Colossians 1:9-10, Philippians 1:9-11, Matthew 6:33, Philippians 2:4, Titus 1:7-9, 2 Timothy 2:22, Romans 13:14, James 4:7-8, Psalm 4 and 5

Erica Mancini, a Chicago-land native born to Argentine parents, moved to New York City in 2009 to pursue a degree at NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study. Before her move, she was deeply involved in marching band, orchestra, and jazz band (doubling on drum set/percussion and electric bass), as well as other musical projects of her own, being mostly punk bands.
Shortly before arriving to NYC, she decided to pick up a new instrument—the accordion. She worked closely with teacher and mentor Bill Schimmel, with whom she studied with privately for the duration of her time at NYU. At Gallatin, she focused her studies on subcultures, music, and identity. Not only did she gain bearings as a performer, musician, and writer, but also she was the recipient of two Dean's Awards for Summer Research, with which she conducted ethnographic work in Argentina, Chicago, and in New York City.
After graduating in 2013, she has performed as an accordionist, vocalist, and percussionist internationally and throughout the US with many different groups and also as a solo artist. Mancini has worked for private agencies and high-end clients (Hermes of Paris, Delta Airlines, Gwenyth Paltrow, Jessica Alba, Vueve Cliquot, Carven) and has performed at events at iconic New York locations such as The Whitney Museum of Art, World Trade Center One, and The Rainbow Room. She has also been featured in curated urban public performances at City Center in Washington DC, as well as Penn Plaza 33, Battery City Park, and Bryant Park in NYC. She has been featured on national and international television (NBC5, Argentine radio and TV, HBO), and has performed in an astounding variety of musical situations. In addition, Mancini has developed a passion in aerial / circus arts, (particularly with the aerial silks), and is one of the only people in the world to play accordion and sing while doing aerial acrobatics on the silks. She is currently the cover girl for the Accordion Babes Pinup Calendar for 2019.
Her original project, called Ghost Pony, is a psychedelic spaghetti western band in which she also plays accordion while performing on the aerial silks. This project has performed at Lincoln Center, Chicago's Graceland Cemetery, LA's Globe Theater, performing alongside Xiu Xiu, Black Marble, Elliot Sharpe/William Schimmel, and more. They plan on recording this summer.
In her creative downtime, she likes to spend her time combining the accordion and different electronic elements (such as Ableton, pedals, and effects) and developing new sounds and ways to use the accordion in compositions and within the context of improvising.
She frequently performs with several different jazz bands, singing, playing and leading her own ensemble The Bee's Knees, and also with many other groups including The Gotham Easy (New Orleans weirdo hot jazz), Bon Musique, Carte Blanche, Via Paris Jazz Band, The Hot Toddies, The Bailsmen, and more.
Mancini is a member of indie project called Sincere Gifts and will be going on tour in the summer of 2019 with the ensemble.
She has supported folk/Americana artists, including Vincent Cross (original Americana and folk music, recording project), Seth Kessel (rock and roll, country, blues), and Tom Shaner (ghost songs, waltzes, and rock and roll). She has also recorded with folk punk / metal bands, including Let's Get Sushi and Not Pay (recordings include a single, also featured in a compilation), and also with folk metal band, Tsarina, as well as Homerik. Also, she is part of Skullbuggery, a crew of sea shanty-singing pirate actors that take over the Clipper City Ship in the New York Harbor, and produce an immersive sailing experience.

Mancini is a member of The Jajajas, which is a traditional Bavarian polka/oompah/blasmusik group that performs year-round, but is featured annually at Munich on the East River Oktoberfest for thousands of audience members.
In 2017, Mancini did a short East Coast tour of whaling towns with The Blowhards, a free improvising Albert Ayler-inspired jazz sea shanty group, led by Jeff Lederer. She also recently performed with Karl Berger's Creative Music Studio's Improviser's Orchestra, alongside incredible improvising musicians such as Steve Bernstein, Billy Martin, Peter Apfelbaum, Ingrid Sertso, and Bob Stuart.

Seeking to explain Alaska's aggressive predator control policies, Alaska Governor Wally Hickel famously said in the early 1990s that "you can't let nature run wild." In Alaska this means that wildlife management is focused on maximizing the number of some human prey species such as deer, caribou and moose, by allowing the killing of bears and wolves that also prey on those animals. A majority in the current United States Congress apparently agree with Alaska's predator control approach to wildlife management, at least as it might apply in our nation's largest national wildlife refuges within Alaska's borders.
Congress this week sent to the president's desk a Congressional Review Act resolution rejecting a 2016 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule that banned aggressive state sport hunting practices designed to reduce populations of predators on state land. The rule banned just the most egregious of these practices on the roughly 77 million acres of national wildlife refuge land in Alaska.
The Congressional Review Act is a legislative instrument which Congress can use to reject in the whole recently-passed federal rules. This blunt "up or down" action is not subject to filibuster in the Senate, and if a rule is rejected through this process agencies are prohibited from passing "substantially similar" rules in the future. Prior to the 115th Congress the Congressional Review Act had only successfully been used once before, to reject a Clinton Administration workplace ergonomics rule in the early days of the George W. Bush Administration. Based on this history and the flurry of recent resolutions, it seems the primary and perhaps sole utility of the Act is during a change in administration from Democrat to Republican, when Republicans have a majority in both chambers of Congress.
The resolution sponsors argued that the FWS rule impinged on Alaska's sovereign ability to manage wildlife within its borders as it sees fit. Supporters of the rule pointed out that the rule's focus is only on the most extreme predator control practices and that to allow such practices on refuge lands is inhumane, is aimed at upsetting the natural balance of special ecosystems and in any event is not proven effective at meeting the goal of increasing game populations. The resolution passed both chambers largely along party lines, and the president is expected to sign it.
Alaska has long pushed aggressive predator control practices. In some instances, Alaska's rules allow the take of adult bears and cubs that are lured by bait, and of wolves and pups in their dens; methods that have elsewhere been rejected as unfair, inhumane and ineffective at increasing game populations. Alaska permits such practices, even when doing so might otherwise seem to go against its interests. For example, one of the great draws for the hundreds of thousands of annual visitors to Denali National Park is the wildlife that can be seen in its wide-open landscapes, including wolves that spend time near the road through the Park. Alaska, however, allows the killing of those wolves on the Park's north and east boundaries, for the benefit of one to three trappers in any given year. According to a local group, the effect of the decline of wolf packs that den inside the park is a reduction in the likelihood of visitors seeing wolves along the road from 45% in 2010 to 5% in 2015.
From a pure economic perspective, one would think that the value to Alaska of live wolves in Denali would far exceed that of wolves killed over the border. But those who make the rules today, like Gov. Hickel before them, apparently don't want to let nature run wild.

The history of the Clean Water Act (CWA) permit shield provision was recently addressed in a blog post by David Buente on July 31, 2014. This post covers an update on one of the referenced cases that was pending before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The case Alaska Community Action on Toxics v. Aurora Energy Services, LLC ("ACAT") involved a facility in Seward, Alaska that conveyed coal onto ships where it was exported into international markets. The facility had been covered under the Multi-Sector General Permit ("MSGP") since the mid-1980s. The MSGP authorized the discharge of stormwater and also identified eleven categories of non-stormwater discharges which were authorized under the MSGP. None of these categories covered discharges of coal.
The plaintiffs filed a CWA citizens suit in early 2010 alleging that coal was discharged from a conveyor into the ocean during ship loading operations and that these discharges were not covered under the MSGP. The alleged discharges involved small chunks of coal falling from the underside of the conveyor belt on the "return" trip and incidental dust or chunks unintentionally released during the loading of ships. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the facility, applying the principles in Piney Run Pres. Ass'n v. City Comm'rs, 268 F.3d 255 (4th Cir. 2001).
On appeal, the Ninth Circuit reversed, holding that the MSGP did not cover discharges of coal. The court found that all non-stormwater discharges were prohibited except those identified in the list of eleven permissible non-stormwater discharges. The Ninth Circuit's decision is most striking for what it does not say. First, there is no discussion in the opinion of the fact that the permittee had, in fact, disclosed its coal discharges during the permitting process. Second, the court places no weight - indeed, did not even mention - the fact that EPA and its state counterpart actively oversaw the facility, including its discharges of coal. In contrast, the district court specifically found that all the relevant parties - EPA, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation ("ADEC"), and the permittee - viewed the MSGP as extending to discharges of coal. As the district court found, "the discharges were not only 'reasonably contemplated' by EPA, but were actively regulated by the agencies under the General Permit."
The Ninth Circuit's decision in ACAT should make any MSGP permittee shudder since it suggests that many facilities may not be properly permitted. Specifically, if a non-stormwater discharge is not identified on the list of permissible non-stormwater sources, ACAT suggests that discharge is not covered by the MSGP. The case also reaffirms the point that reliance on agency communications and "course-of-dealing" with agencies can be a perilous exercise.
Time will tell whether the ACAT court's analysis will be applied outside of the MSGP context to IPs and other GPs. In the meantime, when considering permit shield issues, permittees and their counsel would be wise to carefully focus on the language of permits and what a permit purports to cover (and not cover).

Players of the Week were chosen based on results from Monday, Sept. 19 through Sunday, Sept. 25
NRS Boys Soccer Player of the Week
Anthony Arena, Holmdel
After a gut-wrenching loss in the NJSIAA Group II final last year, Holmdel entered the season with a serious question mark when junior and 2015 leading scorer Justin McStay opted to play academy soccer instead of high school. Arena has been the answer to that question and this last week showed it. In three Holmdel wins this past week, Arena scored five goals and assisted another to catapult the Hornets into the A Central race.
The week started with Arena assisting an equalizer and scoring an insurance goal in a 3-1 win over Ranney. The sophomore followed up that game by scoring two goals in a 4-1 thrashing of Rumson-Fair Haven. He capped the week with two more goals against St. John Vianney, including the golden goal in the 2-1 overtime win for Holmdel.
A Central Honorable Mention: Jacob Labinger, Matawan; John Caracappa, St. John Vianney; Tom Savin, Raritan; Alec Fortune, Raritan
Class A North Player of the Week
Tom Judge, CBA
Over the past calendar year, Judge has proven to be one of the most valuable players in the Shore Conference with his ability to score goals from an outside back position. He was at it again this past week, scoring four goals in four Colts wins, including a winning goal in the 79th minute against Freehold Township and two goals in a 5-2 win over Chaminade, N.Y. Sunday at the Delbarton Invitational.
A North Honorable Mention: Jack Gill, CBA; Rocky Garretson, Manalapan; Andy Rizo, Freehold Boro; Steven Karp, Marlboro
Class A South Player of the Week
Ben Brown, Toms River South
Like Judge, Brown influences the game in many ways while playing on the back line and the Indians senior helped deliver a pair of key goals this week. He assisted a go-ahead goal by Chris Kluxen against Brick Memorial on Tuesday and scored the lone goal in a 1-0 win over Toms River North on Thursday, which gave Toms River South sole possession of first place in Class A South.
A South Honorable Mention: Griffin Bacon, Central; Ben Patti, Jackson Memorial; Mike Schoener, Jackson Memorial; Ethan Leming, Southern
Class B North Player of the Week
Ryan Gordon, Wall
After a slow start to the season for the No. 6 team in the Shore Sports Network Preseason Top 10, Wall turned things around this past week by surviving a scoreless tie against Manasquan, handling Red Bank Catholic and handing Ocean its first loss of the year. Six different players accounted for the eight Crimson Knights goals in the two wins and Gordon was one of the two players, along with Dakota Dobrovich-Fago, to score twice. Gordon also delivered the golden goal in the overtime win over Ocean.
B North Honorable Mention: Venancio Fernandes, Long Branch; Joel Burgos, Monmouth; Ryan Binn, Middletown North; Chris Black, Manasquan
Class B Central Player of the Week
Ethan Kelley, Henry Hudson
The Admirals have put a winless 2015 season behind them by starting 2016 with a respectable 4-4 mark. Kelley has been at the heart of the Henry Hudson revival, which he showed this past week by recording a hat trick – including a golden goal – in a 4-3 overtime win over Keyport and adding a goal in a 2-1 win over Mater Dei two days later.
B Central Honorable Mention: Fenelson Etienne, Asbury Park; Brendan Hueth, St. Rose; Mike Ciorlian, Point Beach; Gadiel Escobar, Keyport
Class B South Player of the Week
Mason Remondelli, Point Boro
Few teams in the Shore Conference operate on the consistent schedule that Point Boro does: lose a game or two early, then reel off a bunch of wins in a row to win a B South title. The Panthers picked up steam this week with wins over Donovan Catholic, Manchester and St. Rose and Remondelli was in the middle of all three. He scored a goal and an assist against Donovan, assisted two against Manchester and scored the winner against St. Rose.
B South Honorable Mention: Nathanael Wharlton, Lakewood; Reilly Hunt, Lacey; Matt O'Connell, Pinelands; Alex Iorio, Jackson Liberty

Today my 4th child turned 11. That means he was home today from school and got extra added attention. That seems to be our family birthday tradition that our kids look forward to the most.
Kids thrive on certainty. It is what gives them security. Our world these days is so fast paced with things constantly changing. It is a comfort to kids (and adults) to know that certain things do not change. It gives meaning when certain days, events and holidays are made special and bring with them certain rituals.
My conversation this morning with the birthday boy went like this:
Me: So what family traditions do we have for birthdays?
Him: We get to stay home from school.
Me: What else?
Him: We get balloons.
Me: And?
Him: We get chocolate chip cookies.
Me: Anything else?
Him: We get presents.
Me: That's it?
Him: No, we go out to eat in a restaurant.
That was good enough for me. It told me he knew that on his birthday he can expect certain things. He can expect to be made to feel special. Aside from all that he mentioned above, he also got his sister to stay home from school as well. He got ice cream. He got a pudding with whipped cream and he got away with just about anything he wanted.
So why is it so important for me to have family traditions?
It's because traditions foster closeness and they are the glue that keeps families together.
With the birthday traditions maybe it is important for me because in my house birthdays weren't really made a big deal over. Hmmm, I think my 11th birthday was even forgotten until I reminded my parents who very quickly went out and bought me a gift. Or maybe it is because in my husband's house it was a big deal and became ingrained in him and he has passed it onto me. Maybe it is a combination of both.
Traditions don't have to be time consuming or elaborate. They can be as simple as having a certain set meal on a certain night of the week. In our house unless there is some special reason not to, Thursday is hot dog night.
Traditions can be as simple as saying bedtime prayers with your children.
Traditions can be as simple as bedtime story time.
Traditions can even be as simple as knowing to expect a call on your birthday from a certain relative who always makes it their business to call on your special day. My grandmother used to be like that and would never forget birthdays. Two years ago was the first time she forgot my birthday, and it was only then that it hit me hard how bad her memory was getting. My kids and their cousins know that my MIL always remembers their birthday.
Traditions can be setting a certain day a year for a family picnic.
Traditions can be taking a yearly family vacation.
Traditions can be a certain way you celebrate your anniversary.
In my house, I find that being religious and Sabbath Observant by themselves create important family traditions. We have the Sabbath meals together. We always celebrate the holidays along with family. There are also many other traditions associated with the Sabbath and other holidays. In addition we also celebrate the childrens Jewish coming of age with a traditional party.
For different religions it can be different things. Like carving pumpkins, collecting certain ornaments or hunting Easter eggs. (I apologize for not knowing traditions and customs in many other religions).
I think family traditions are so important for the closeness of your family. Just remember that while it is important to have enough traditions you also don't want to go so overboard that the sheer number of traditions you have make them all meaningless.
Start small. Start with one tradition at a time. Adapt them to suit your family. Just remember to make them special.
What is your favorite family tradition?

Keeping the house organized is a constant work in progress. As our family has grown, I've sought out and gradually added new ways to find "a place for everything, and everything in its place."
Here are 10 of my recent discoveries, many of them Pinterest finds.
Over the door shoe organizers are so versatile. They're not just for shoes anymore. I have one hanging on the inside of our laundry room closet for my cleaning supplies —
2. And one hanging on our mud room door for the kids' winter hats and gloves.
3. This one is so simple, I can't believe I didn't think of it until just a few months ago. We've gone from keeping all the kids' shoes in one big bin (and tossing them all out to find the one at the bottom), to keeping them all neatly lined up and clearly visible on these 2 sets of shelves from Target. (Also available at amazon.com ) Thirty dollars and 15 minutes of my husband's time later, this shoe rack was assembled and lined with rows of kids shoes — beautiful order!
4. I had an empty expanding file box so I filled it up with all the extra cards that were floating around my desk drawer. Now if I need a card for a particular occasion, I know right where to look.
5. I needed more space to store all our toiletries and first aid supplies in our bathroom wall cupboard. So I moved the towels I had kept folded on the lower shelf, rolled them up and put them in a basket under the sink.
6. This tissue box is mounted with industrial strength velcro to the inside of the bathroom sink cupboard door. It holds rags for the kids to use for their daily bathroom cleaning chore — wiping down the sink and toilet with Windex and a dry rag.
7. And here's another fantastic use for empty tissue boxes: holding underwear and socks in the kids dresser drawers.
8. Speaking of kids' dresser drawers. Here's a tip I learned from my sister when her teenagers were toddlers. To make putting on their own clothes a snap for toddlers/preschoolers, fold the tops and bottoms of their outfits together into one bundle. That way they can grab a "pack" of clothes and be sure that they have a matching outfit.
9. Another tip for kids' clothes. Keep a hamper in a central location (ours is in the upstairs hallway) to toss clothes in when they no longer fit. When I tell the kids their pants are too short, or when they tell me they never where a shirt because they don't like it, I no longer have to dig through the boxes of stored clothing to put it with the other clothes of that size. When the hamper gets full, I sort the clothes to go to Goodwill, or to go back in the boxes of hand-me-downs.
10. And finally, when I first bring out the next season's clothes and hang them in my closet, I turn the hangers backward. As I wear them, I turn the hanger the other way around. At the end of the season, I'll be able to tell which ones I never wore, and can donate them or otherwise get rid of them.
So there you have it — a list of ten simple ways to bring even more order to your home. 🙂

Holy Communion / Confirmation Preparation
Sacramental Preparation for Children
(to be added)
Sacramental Preparation for Adults
Many Catholic adults have not yet received their First Holy Communion or Confirmation. This may be for any number of reasons. Whatever the reason we are glad to help baptized Catholics to prepare for sacraments as adults. Please visit the RCIA brochure for information about how to get started.

Stations Of The Cross Is Brought To Life
Living Stations of the Cross is a moving tradition.
During Lent, the students, teachers and staff of Sacred Heart of Jesus School attend Stations of the Cross weekly. They pray and reflect on Jesus' journey from being sentenced to death through His crucifixion and death. As Catholics, we partake in the Stations of the Cross on Friday's throughout the 40 days of Lent. By having the children be a part of this sacred communal prayer service is a blessing.
With Lent culminating into Holy Week, the Stations of the Cross are transformed into a live prayer event. Truly one of our most treasured and moving traditions here at Sacred Heart of Jesus School. Our eighth grade class turns the Stations of the Cross into a performance not soon to be forgotten by the congregation. There is something so gripping about watching a performance of Jesus falling for the first time. Hearing Mary sing a heartbreaking song about losing her begotten Son is tearfully emotional. Watching as Veronica wipes the face of Jesus is inspiring.
The eighth grade performance of the Stations of the Cross is a revered production. It visually prepares us for the most sacred days of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil and the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior on Easter morning!
Yes, the living Stations of the Cross is a moving tradition here at Sacred Heart. We are so proud of our eighth grade class who put their heart into this sacred event. This is only one of many traditions we hold dear as we prepare ourselves for the resurrection of Jesus Christ!
May you have a Blessed and Happy Easter Season!

Oh I love the colors!!! I usually fail miserably when it comes to painting with color. We made so many attempts downstairs in our home but gave up and decided to use color in the accessories. However, we are having much better luck upstairs. One day I will get around to posting more images.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Mix & Match
At the POS, attractively branded displays are expected to draw shopper attention to the product. With 'Mix & Match', STI Group has created a range that gives permanent displays the constantly changing design options normally associated with their temporary cousins.
At the heart of this innovative POS system is a metal display with folding shelves. Overlaying this with cardboard design elements creates a whole new look in a few quick steps.
The advantages are obvious. Permanent displays allow brand owners to secure a retail location for their products, driving higher repeat purchase. Costs are significantly reduced with each new promotional campaign, as only the decorative cardboard elements change. These elements are sent to stores flat-packed, reducing distribution costs as well as environmental impact. Mix & Match offers a winning combination of stability, visual standout, versatility and savings.
Display of the Future
There are no restrictions on Mix & Match display designs; STI Group's creative team is already working on the next generation with adjustable height tiltable shelving.
For smaller outlets or retail chains that want even more flexibility, the new display generation is also fitted with castors.

Former 'Toddler & Tiaras' Star, Eden Wood's Mother Accused Of Abuse In New Tell-All Book
You've heard of "momagers," but how about "momsters"?
Former "Toddler & Tiaras" star Eden Wood's mother Mickie Wood is being called just that and more by her daughter's former manager, who has written a "tell all" book that contains some disturbing allegations.
Heather Ryan alleges in her self-published e-book, "Unleashing A Momster: A Look Behind The Curtain At The Tragic Life of America's Most Successful Child Pageant Star," that Eden endured verbal abuse and physical neglect at the hands of her mother.
Mickie Wood told The Huffington Post in a statement, "These allegations are untrue and I am very sad and disappointed that Eden's former manager would be publishing such false and defamatory material."
According to Star magazine (May 6, print issue), Ryan writes that Mickie turned out to be "lying, jealous, demanding and evil to the core." She goes on to claim that her former employer put pageant competitions above Eden's health, as she says the child was "drinking Red Bull and espresso nonstop" at the age of 6, and that her teeth were rotting out from all the sugar, but her mother refused to take her to the dentist.
It doesn't appear as though over-caffeinated children in beauty pageants are uncommon, judging by another former "Toddlers & Tiaras" star, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, who drank a concoction known as "go-go juice" that contained a mixture of Mountain Dew and Red Bull.
A poor diet is one thing, but Ryan also claims that Mickie would make her daughter practice her routines for eight hours straight, and if she messed up, Mickie would tell her daughter, "You're just like your father -- he's a loser," and allegedly referred to her as a "little shit."
Previously, Mickie had responded to criticism that she was a "control freak and baby-pageant slave driver," telling Vanity Fair in 2012:
"I used to get angry, but what good does that do? Because I dont care. Im going to do it whether you approve or you dont. I know whats best. I didnt have Eden until I was 40. Shes the only kid that her dad and I have, from our only marriage. We went on a cruise together and came back with a little souvenir."


text: This is great to hear, Mike. I for one still find a need for a "short stroke" polisher for certain paint systems. At least the finishing aspect. While personally I love finishing with the flex finisher ....... there are times I have to pull out the trusty PC! Nice to have an updated short stroke machine that has some power to boot. Typically I cut with a rotary or the 3401. But for the price and warranty(on top of reviews like this) this is a tool everyone should have in their arsenal from beginner to professional! I think the price is phenomenal also.

I recently found this new recipe for some Oatmeal Breakfast bars. These are the perfect homemade replacement for a granola bar, much more satisfying, and very easy to make. This recipe is a slight modification of this recipe.
- 4 cups dry oats (old-fashioned or quick cooking)
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup Peanut Butter chips
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup applesauce (or eliminate this and use 1/4 cup more canola oil)
- 4 eggs
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare a 13X9 pan with parchment paper (or grease it).
- In a large bowl, stir together all of the dry ingredients.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup mix together oil, applesauce, and eggs.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir together.
- Fold dough into the prepared pan and press into place to create an even layer.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
Notes: These can be frozen after being baked. Just cut into individual squares and freeze. Grab and go.

ARRIVAL -- Blu-ray Review by Porfle
There are at least two kinds of sci-fi movies that I love. One is the slam-bang space opera with explosions in space, spaceships having dogfights in space, and/or space monsters destroying the world before returning to outer space. These are awesome and I wouldn't dream of looking down my nose at them because they're just so much dumb fun.
The other kind of sci-fi movie I love is the kind that's good because it's just so much smart fun. Movies such as 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN, DEEP IMPACT, and CONTACT. I love them because they present scintillating scenarios and ideas which are often both illuminating and, in the best cases, mind-expanding. And they explore these things in relation to how they would affect humanity in the really-real world.
With ARRIVAL (2016), you get all that in addition to the kind of intensely emotional situations that can only exist in science fiction.
Upon the arrival of 12 massive egg-shaped spaceships which park themselves over various locations around the world, linguistics expert Louise Banks (Amy Adams, THE MASTER, SUNSHINE CLEANING, STILL STANDING) is pressed into service by the government to help establish contact with the aliens, an experience that will dovetail in ways she can't yet imagine with the tragic death of her daughter Hannah, whom we see in fleeting flashbacks.
Director Denis Villeneuve turns this into a gorgeously-photographed dreamlike journey for her and us in which we're never really able to recover from the disorienting unreality of the situation.
The hard-edged military protocol of the base camp adjoining one of the ships (embodied by Forest Whitaker's no-nonsense "Colonel Weber") and all the scientific mumbo-jumbo that's thrown around only serve to make Louise's entry into the mysterious craft and her attempts to communicate with its ultra-strange occupants seems even more breathlessly surreal.
Memories of her daughter keep haunting her throughout the experience, visions which are seemingly unstuck in time as Louise is drawn into the aliens' non-linear concept of past, present, and future. Scenes of her inside the cavernous spaceship, interacting with her otherworldly counterparts on an increasingly emotional level, are among the most compelling and thought-provoking of any I've seen in any sci-fi film.
In addition to this ARRIVAL deals in a fascinating way with the catastrophic effects such an event would have on humanity on a global scale. Much of this is conveyed by news reports of violent societal upheaval (without, for once, a bunch of CNN personalities playing themselves badly) and the growing paranoia of various government leaders who are inching toward war against the outworlders.
The juxtaposition between the genuine desire for peaceful understanding and empathy shown by Louise and her science-expert cohort Ian (Jeremy Renner, "Hawkeye" in the AVENGERS movies) and the increasingly hostile attitude displayed by Earth's military leaders is jarring.
It also leads to some of the film's most suspenseful and disturbing moments, especially when a mutinous faction within Colonel Weber's own ranks devises a plot to sabotage the ship.
But despite the dramatic urgency of this global countdown to interplanetary war, much of the story is devoted to diligent cerebral research and detective work along with Louise's own intense emotional journey through the whole experience and how profoundly it changes her life.
Amy Adams is a joy to watch as she fully inhabits the role of the pensive yet passionate Louise, with Jeremy Renner providing capable support as Ian. Forest Whitaker (THE MARSH, PAWN, CATCH .44, HURRICANE SEASON), of course, is pretty much a national treasure by now and can do no wrong.
SPFX are as fine as modern CGI can devise, but it's the full-scale ship interior that's most impressive. I won't go into the appearance of the aliens or the nature of their written language, which both Louise and Ian struggle mightily to make sense of, but both are sufficiently bizarre. All other aspects of the production are first-rate.
The Blu-ray from Paramount Home Media Distribution is widescreen with Dolby 5.1 stereo in English, French, and Spanish and subtitles in English. Also included is a download code for a digital HD copy. Bonus features consist of lengthy featurettes (over 80 minutes total) including "Xenolinguistics: Understanding 'Arrival'", "Acoustic Signature: The Sound Design", "Eternal Recurrence: The Score", "Nonlinear Thinking: The Editing Process", and "Principles of Time, Memory, and Language."
ARRIVAL is slow and thoughtful, but continuously fascinating--it never lags or loses interest for those serious sci-fi lovers who are truly along for the ride. And the ending delivers the kind of thought-provoking yet deeply emotional payoff that should leave them contemplating certain mysteries of life, love, and the universe for some time to come.

Wearable computing looks to be the next big thing, whether we want it to be or not. With smartwatches like the Galaxy Gear and Omate TrueSmart, Google Glass eye wear, and more, everyone is taking notice. One that we've heard rumors about in the past is Intel, who's keeping a close eye on the smartwatch and wearable computing initiative. And now we've learned they just hired a few key components for their team.
Intel's Mike Bell is a man who has once worked as an engineer for both Palm and Apple, and is now heading up Intel and a small group that is focusing on new devices. And according to the Intel Free Press, that group just hired two key new members to help Intel as they aim to deliver some top quality wearable devices to the mass public.
Lead engineer and designer of the Nike FuelBand Steve Holmes was acquired by the team, and we're also just learned that same group also hired Hans Moritz. Who was previously a lead member of a few design teams over at Oakley. Most notably, the Oakley Airwave Goggles. Both of these individuals have a strong background in design, and have lead teams in creating a wearable computing device. Intel isn't messing around folks.
Add to that the recent announcement of Intel's new Quark Chips, which are extremely small and geared for wearable devices, and things are lining up quite nicely. Some of those Quark chips are so small, they're actually designed for injestable devices. I'd rather have one powering an Android device though.
A problem with Google Glass is getting enough performance to do everything they'd like, without the cost of battery life. Something they're still working on. Hopefully Intel has something up their sleeves with these new chips, because the future is looking bright on all fronts.
Intel could have some interesting bracelets, watches, and other wearable computing devices coming soon. We'll have to wait and see.

So I sent and email off to the IWK today, and didn't hear back. Tried calling the Ortho clinic number, but they were gone home for the day. I left a message as we think that we need to get Lily's casts re-casted as there is little to nothing holding her ankle in place now, and the last thing I want is to go through surgery again! They are open again at 8:30 am, and I will be calling back then to see if they can fit us in tomorrow, and then we'll be off to Halifax for the day at least.
Lilybears new boots and bar may be in tomorrow or the next day, so maybe they will just have us put her in that instead of the casts again. Who knows! I will be sure to keep you all posted, but I have a very strong feeling that we will be off to the IWK tomorrow to have the casts re done. Wouldn't be this big of an issue if they would just let them train the Ortho drs' on PEI how to do the Ponseti method!!! Foolish PEI health care making life more difficult for PEI residents as usual!
Updates in the AM! Cheers!

Milk Thistle – Mary Thistle
Silybum Marianum also known as Carduus Marianus
Milk Thistle is native to the Mediterranean counties. It now grows wild through Europe.
It has also become a common plant in North America, Australia and in Asia.
Milk thistle is a hardy plant that willingly self-seeds. It grows well in open areas. The plant can grow to be quite tall; up to 1.5 meters (4-5 feet).
The purple flowers bloom in summer and then are followed by the important black seeds which are covered with tufts of white hair.
The flowers are picked in early summer; the seeds are gathered in late summer.
This plant likes well drained soil in a sunny spot. Unfortunately slugs and snails seem to enjoy the leaves.
Milk Thistle got its name because of the white veins on the leaves that resemble spilt milk.
It is also known by the name "Mary Thistle" as a legend tells a story that the Virgin Mary spilt a few drops of her milk on the plant.
Milk Thistle Health Benefits
Milk Thistle has been known as a remedy for liver problems for hundreds of years.
Milk thistle has the extraordinary ability to protect the liver from the damage alcohol and other toxics cause.
As a remedy for liver damage the milk thistle seeds are used. The seeds contain the antioxidants called silymarin. The silymarin found in milk thistle seeds decreases free radical damage in the liver.
Milk thistle is also believed to renew the cells of the liver.
Milk thistle is used to reduce the side effects from cancer chemotherapy.
Milk thistle has been used as a remedy to reduce and often prevent poisoning from for example mushrooms if taken within 48 hours.
It is also used to treat animals that may have eaten poisonous plants.
Milk thistle is used in herbal medicine for improving the appetite and digestion for people with liver problems.
It is told that the leaves will stimulate milk production in nursing mothers.
Milk thistle has been used as an antidepressant for centuries.
John Gerard wrote in the following in his book Herball in 1597: "My opinion is that milk thistle is the best remedy that grows against all melancholy diseases."
Culinary Uses
Milk thistle used to be grown as a vegetable plant. Now a day's it is primarily used as an herbal medicine and ornamental plant.
The young leaves are edible. Remove the spines and use the young leaves in the same manner as spinach, eat them either raw or cooked. The flower buds may be eaten the same way you would eat artichokes. The roots are eaten boiled or roasted. The seeds are of course edible also.
Warning: Never treat yourself if you suspect you have a serious disease, always consult your doctor.
IIf you are allergic to daisies, chrysanthemums and chamomile you may very well be allergic to milk thistle as well. This is also the case if you are allergic to kiwi and artichokes. Always seek the advice of your physician if you have concerns.
Whenever possible always buy organically grown herbs. They are often sold as dried herbs in capsules. Always respect the recommended dosage found on the package.

Supreme Court of Canada Hears Access to Education in Disabled Student's Case

Yvonne Peters, Gwen Brodsky, Ravi Malhotra Discuss Inclusion After the Moore Case
March 22, 2012--The Supreme Court of Canada will hear the case of Jeffrey Moore, a student with a learning disability who has fought for years to ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to education. This case is about ensuring that the legal duty to accommodate persons with disabilities is interpreted and applied in a manner that ensures that all students have full and equal access to education. Education is a service that governments in Canada are required by law to make available to all students. Just as the Deaf need sign language interpretation to allow them to communicate and access a variety of services, so too do students with learning disabilities require supports and accommodations to benefit equally from education. When governments or school boards fail to adequately accommodate students with learning disabilities the discriminatory effect is to entrench the marginalization and isolation experienced by so many Canadians with disabilities.
Canada in March 2010 ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Article 24 of the Convention requires States Parties "to recognize the right of persons with disabilities to education. With a view to realizing this right without discrimination and on the basis of equal opportunity, States Parties shall ensure an inclusive education system at all levels…."
"Access to education, including effective accommodation, is fundamental to ensuring that persons with disabilities will become full and equal citizens, able to participate equally in the workforce and all aspects of Canadian society," said Dean Richert, Co-chairperson of CCD Human Rights Committee.
"Effective individualized support measures must be provided in educational environments to ensure that students with disabilities are able to learn and participate equally with their nondisabled peers," states Yvonne Peters. Peters, Gwen Brodsky and Melina Buckley are co-counsel to CCD in the Moore case.
"Education is and must be a universally accessible service for all students and that includes students with disabilities," states Anne Levesque Co-chairperson of CCD's Human Rights Committee.
CCD, a national organization of persons with disabilities, is intervening in this case to ensure the right of students with disabilities to equal access to education is confirmed by Canada's highest court.

The Latimer Case
The Latimer case directly concerned the rights of persons with disabilities. Mr. Latimer's view was that a parent has the right to kill a child with a disability if that parent decides the child's quality of life no longer warrants its continuation. CCD explained to the court and to the public how that view threatens the lives of people with disabilities and is deeply offensive to fundamental constitutional values. Learn more.

CBC News reports:
An Ottawa company has waded into the world of employee tracking and metric collection with a new app, but the technology is raising issues surrounding an employer's right to know versus an employee's right to privacy.
"Who, what, when and where. Simple and smart time tracking that keeps you and your team focused on real work," is a tagline for Punchtime, an app created by three businessmen to help employers automate time sheets and payroll for their employees.
"At its core, it's employee metrics. We gather information about employees every day: what they're doing, when they're doing it and where they're doing it," said Chris Desjardins, co-founder and CEO of Punchtime Inc.
Gilles LeVasseur, a University of Ottawa professor specializing in labour and corporate law, said the devil is in the details.

Sunday's Heartbreak Now in the Rearview Mirror
You have to give it to these White Sox. After Sunday's ninth-inning meltdown in Minnesota, the third Sox loss in a row, no one knew how the club would react as they headed to Seattle and Oakland. Rest easy Sox fans, at least for now.
There are still five more games remaining on the road trip, but the early signs on the West Coast are very promising. Behind a fine performance by 23-year-old Daniel Hudson and homers by Alex Rios and Andruw Jones, the Sox coasted to a 6-1 victory over the Mariners. In the process they increased their division lead to 2 1/2 games over the Tigers and Twins, who both lost–to the Rangers and Indians respectively.
Some highlights:
* The Pale Hose cranked out 12 hits. Omar Vizquel, Rios, Paul Konerko and Gordon Beckham led the way with two apiece.
* Vizquel has been a marvel, at the plate and especially in the field. He's now batting .271.
* Rios had three RBIs, including the two-run homer, giving him 54 for the season in addition to 16 roundtrippers and a .307 BA.
• Paulie continues to sizzle. His two hits last night raised his average to .303.
* Beckham's surge has been fun to watch. Once languishing on or near the Mendoza line, GBeck is hitting .571 during his current eight-game hitting streak. He's now at .241 and
rising. In other words, he's back to being the Beckham of a year ago.
* Hudson went 6 2/3, giving up only a lone first inning run. Matt Thornton, Tony Pena and Scott Linebrink closed the door in relief, combining for 2 1/3 scoreless innings.
Mr. Hudson to the rescue

About This File
9. Compare and contrast knowing a friend to knowing how to swim, to knowing a scientific theory, to knowing an historical period. What conclusion about the nature of knowledge can you reach?
This essay received a B. Quite frankly, I was astonished. I thought it deserved a C, but then why should I complain? This is, to be honest, a hopelessly boring title that is very hard to be interesting in, but easy to think up of arguments, thus my reason for choosing it.

It's been said, words can not do justice to the experience that is Burning Man. And it's true. I've tried, over and over. But here's a a guy who has at the very least framed it nicely - and I suspect hit it square on the head - at least for himself, Mark Morford. Not only is he an excellent word-smith, he GETS it!

Property owners are always looking for ways to improve their properties and make them more appealing to current and potential tenants. They want current tenants to call their property home longer and they want potential tenants to choose their properties over others available in the area. Does your property have everything your tenants need? What features can you add to your multi-unit office buildings to make them more attractive to potential tenants? Let's take a look at some of the most popular amenities that tenants asked for in 2017 and that you could add to your property in 2018.
- Walking trails, modern vending machines in common-areas and meeting or event spaces.
- Local business and restaurant coordination offering discounts to tenants who live or work in the area.
- Stress relieving features such as waterfalls and fountains, or aquariums in lobby areas. White noise in hallways can also be a bonus that would relax tenants as their workday becomes stressful.
- High end office complexes are requesting concierge services in the lobby to direct visitors and to assist tenants with planning special activities in the area.
- Certain areas across the country, tenants are requesting showers to be installed so employees can work out before work or on their lunch breaks and have access to a shower on site.
- As well as easily accessible showers, tenants are asking for gyms similar to what many hotels offer guests.
- Adequate parking is another amenity that more and more tenants are asking for as most parking spaces in busy office parks are already at a premium.
- On-site UPS, USPS and FedEx drop-off/ pick-up services so tenants don't have to leave work to ship packages,
- Furniture, Wi-Fi and improved outdoor spaces round out the requests as tenants want a more user-friendly workspace and a place to have lunch, chat with coworkers or read a book while on break.
To remain competitive in the commercial real estate industry, landlords have to meet the needs of their tenants and provide the amenities that are popular in their area. What amenities does your office building offer its tenants? Leave us a comment below and let us know.
