I will ask to listen to the recording of the meeting that the Council normally makes for its records to flesh out any further details. I'm not sure if this is permitted under the Council's regulations but if so it will give me a better insight into exactly what occurred.
UPDATE: No, it is not permitted and permission was refused.
In the meantime, I have relied on the prior Business Paper notes and the minutes of the meeting to make this report.
As an aside, it's worth paying attention to the voting patterns of our councillors through this meeting. I'll report on these for the year at a later date but already the figures tell a very clear story.
There were a couple of big-ticket items in this meeting that seemed to have drawn public addresses from many interested residents.
We also already knew that the State Member for Camden, Mr Chris Patterson, was addressing the Council about the preservation of Camden and District Hospital as a publicly funded hospital.
I was also particularly fascinated by a subdivision that sets a very interesting precedent in terms of housing density in our newer suburbs. More on that below but for now, let's get down to business.
Public addresses
The meeting opened with a large number of public addresses. The first, as expected, was delivered by the State MP for Camden, Mr Chris Patterson. It was in regards to the motion put forward at the last meeting calling for a pre-emptory public position by the council and State Member to oppose any privatisation of Camden and Districts Hospital.
I will request a copy of the statement that can be reproduced here if it is available. Mr Patterson has kindly provided me with a copy of his statement - you can read it here (pdf). An earlier conversation with Mr Patterson during the week suggested he supported the public position of opposition to any privatisation of the hospital and this is exactly what his statement suggests.
Next up in public addresses was Mr John Rowley. He was speaking on behalf of the applicant for the remediation of contaminated land behind Narellan Town Centre at 3 Elyard St, Narellan. The entire process is due to take 58 weeks and upon completion another DA will be submitted for a residential development in this area. You can find more details below under ORD05.
Ms Faye Lea also addressed the council in response to the remediation of the land. While it doesn't explicitly state whether she was for or against the proposal, it is likely she was opposed to the remediation as there were five submissions received by the council in opposition.
Mr Philip Malek addressed the council in regards to ORD03, the proposed 112-place childcare centre at 42 Waterworth Dr, Narellan.
Mr Graham Pascoe's public address was directed at the creation of a day surgery in 7 Park Street, Camden. This referred to ORD01, which had been deferred two meetings ago, so that new councillors could look over the property.
Ms Glenda Davis spoke to the Council regarding the tender for the proposed Oxley Str car park. Ms Davis kindly provided me with a copy of her public address, which you can read here.
Mr Matthew McGettigan spoke about the development of a centre of cricketing excellence that has been presented to the council as a notice of motion by the mayor, Lara Symkowiak.
Two tentative speakers also entered public addresses. The first was by Mr Benam Dodd on behalf of the Camden Cricket Club notice of motion. The second was Lorraine Iddon who spoke about ORD02, which involved the partial demolition, extension of the back and a new facade for 14 Hill St, Camden.
Mayoral minute
The mayor presented a mayoral minute that recognised the commendation awarded at the New South Wales Planning Excellence Awards in the category of Best Planning Ideas — Small Projects for the works carried out and planned for the Camden Town Centre. There is a segment of the community that will probably be extremely annoyed by this award and the mayoral minute but it was reasonable to allow the council to publicly acknowledge this small triumph.
ORD01: Day surgery, 7 Park Street, Camden.
The first order of business is the proposed day surgery at 7 Park Street, Camden. We reported on this item of business when it first appeared in a meeting on October 25. The decision was deferred so that new councillors could visit the site to better understand the issues.
Apparently, after actually visiting the premises the Labor councillors and independent Cr Eva Campbell decided that the day surgery should not go ahead. However, they lost the motion to refuse the development application along party lines. The Liberals along with Cr Rob Mills voted to accept the application and it will now go ahead.
ORD02: Partial demolition and alterations to 14 Hill Street, Camden.
This is a commercial development that aims to slightly increase its roof height above the standard level - to 7.75m - and had rear car parks and offices. The applicant also intends to change the facade, taking away the 1960s brick frontage and restoring and rebuilding it so that it more resembles the cottage frontage it had when it was built in the 1920s. There has been some opposition to this from nearby businesses, due to increased shadowing, changes to the streetscape and concerns that it may impact street views.
Council officers recommended approval.
This was another contested vote but the development application was passed with the vote of Cr Paul Farrow (ALP), the Liberal councillors and Cr Rob Mills.
ORD03: Construction of a 112-place, single-storey childcare centre at 42 Waterworth Dr, Narellan Vale.
The childcare Centre includes off-street car parking for 29 vehicles and a 52sqm building. It will have 19 staff and operate from 7:30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. The estimated cost is $1.7 million. The site is amid parkland and close to Narellan Vale School.
There have been two primary areas of opposition. The first is that there is insufficient car parking spaces, as this area already has significant parking problems during school pickup periods and the Centre might increase congestion. Within this there was also concern about the location of a bus stop close to the Centre making leaving it in a car very difficult The second question was whether the childcare Centre was even necessary as according to a submission there are already many in the local area.
Council officers recommended approval. This was passed unanimously.
ORD04: Proposed subdivision of 37 Skaife St, Oran Park into 2 lots.
This is a fascinating subdivision and while it seems small beer in the scheme of things it is setting a precedent that may have ramifications for future residential developments. It is also interesting in what it says about the densities in Oran Park.
This application aims for a 700sqm lot to be divided into two smaller lots of 351sqm and 348sqm along a residential street. A particularly striking part of this subdivision is that after division the area is still well above the minimum requirement for lot area, which is just 125sqm. It is likely such small blocks would be filled with terrace house style constructions, similar to those in the suburb behind Macarthur Square.
This raises a whole host of interesting questions about future population densities, the cost of housing for first homebuyers, the potential social implications of such a tightly packed population, the impacts of urban heat island effect and infrastructure considerations. I'm quite surprised these small lot sizes have not figured more largely in the public discussion about the future development of Camden.
Because this development fulfils all of the requirements of Oran Park, it is very hard for council officers to recommend refusal and for the councillors to oppose what could be extreme densities in this suburb and potentially others that may use this precedent to advance the case for small lot sizes.
As it stands, the subdivision was passed. However, it was another contested vote with the vote of Cr Paul Farrow(ALP), the Liberal councillors and Cr Rob Mills seeing it through. Cr Ashleigh Cagney, Cr Cindy Cagney and Cr Eva Campbell opposed the application.
ORD05: Remediation of contaminated land, earthworks, tree removal and site works at 3 Elyard St, Narellan, behind Narellan Town Centre.
This is the large area of vacant land near Narellan library along the back of Narellan Town Centre. There have been multiple attempts to develop this large block and to remediate the contaminated land. The land has formerly been used as a quarry and a storage space for demolition waste and landfill materials.
This development application is focused only on remediating the contaminated land at a cost of $10m. It will take 58 weeks to completely remove all the soil and contaminants. A separate development application will be submitted after this process has been completed that will likely see a large residential/business development proposed for the site.
This was another contested vote but the development application was passed with the vote of Cr Paul Farrow(ALP), the Liberal councillors and Cr Rob Mills.
ORD06: Draft Section 94 plan for Camden growth areas
Section 94 payments come from developers and are used for the construction of infrastructure related to those developments or in other parts of the Camden region. This draft plan for Section 94 infrastructure will be on public exhibition for eight weeks, so residents can view it and make recommendations.
I will have a look at this plan over the coming weeks and see if I can put together a small report on what it proposes.
The public exhibition of the draft plan and proposed steps for its execution, should it be accepted, were endorsed by all councillors.
ORD07: Camden Council animal holding service becomes a "no kill" facility
This one is for pet lovers everywhere. The new animal holding service that is being considered for Camden will become a "no kill" facility that will aim to rescue and rehome animals where possible.
Not surprisingly, this one passed unanimously.
ORD08: Delegations and other administrative matters
This is a fairly straightforward item that just relates to delegations during the period from December 14 through to February 14. It gives authority to the Mayor and Deputy Mayor to deal with urgent situations and development applications.
ORD09: Collection of Deputy President of MACROC
Cr Michael Morrison was appointed to this role. Passed unanimously.
ORD10: September review of the 2016/17 operational plan (budget)
This is just approval of budget items from earlier meetings with $1,017,060 going to the capital works reserve and $500,000 going to the asset renewal reserve.
ORD11: investment monies — October 2016
This confirms certification of investment monies reported in earlier meetings.
ORD12: Miss Llewella Davies Pioneers Walkway — Acceptance of grant funding
This item confirms the acceptance of a $351,000 grant from the Metropolitan Greenpeace Program. Matching funds of $191,300 were allocated from the Council's capital works reserve and a contribution of $36,000 from the Camden Town Farm Committee.
ORD13: Construction of Oxley Street car park extension, Camden
There were two components to this motion. The first was to accept a tender for the car park made by Zauner Constructions Pty Ltd at the cost of $2,947,100 (excluding GST). The second was to fast track funding to investigate initiatives to increase the use of Camden Civic Centre.
As has always been the case, this was going to be a contested vote. However the vote was carried supported by Cr Paul Farrow, the Liberal councillors and Cr Rob Mills.
ORD14: Camden and Districts Hospital (privatisation)
There was a little bit of back and forth with this motion but at the end it went through unanimously with only one modification. The final outcome was that the Council would seek the unconditional support of the local member, Chris Patterson, to maintain the hospital in public hands. The council would oppose any privatisation of the hospital and it would congratulate the staff of the hospital for the outstanding work they do.
The only difference was a change from the original motion. That motion initially requested for the local member to advocate in State parliament for a full report on the hospital's status and what measures needed to be taken to upgrade it into the future.
This was replaced with a new request for a workshop with the South West District Health Board where councillors could ask questions and receive a status update concerning the Camden and Campbelltown hospitals.
The motion was passed unanimously.
ORD15: Camden Cricket Club
This notice of motion was to enter into a memorandum of understanding with Cricket New South Wales to develop a Centre of Cricket Excellence at Ferguson's Land, Camden. Camden Cricket Club would still remain a key user group of the facility and the council would, in addition, work with the club to determine how to honour founding and life members of Camden Cricket Club.
The motion was passed unanimously.

How Awake Are You?
By The Dreamer on Apr 11, 2013 | In Sleep, Awareness | Send feedback »
Link: http://healthysleep.med.harvard.edu/need-sleep/whats-in-it-for-you/how-awake-are-you
Here's a flash 'game' that in 5 minutes assesses your wakefulness for driving....
For me, I ended with an average reaction time of 0.30 seconds, which according to the results is just with in the 'safe' range.
Though I also had 1 accident and 1 false start....
It was long and boring enough that I could feel the eyes wanting to wander, as well as the threat that I might have a microsleep.
And, a microsleep at 120km/hr is no fun....especially if you were aiming for a rest stop and the exit is sharp and turns to gravel.

In a unique journey across India, Q3 helped the client in developing a unique Demographic Surveillance System to support population based research activities to identify roadmaps for convergence between health and non-health sectors.
Client Background
The client is an international trust operational in India since 2005. It has a unique network of healthcare professionals from multiple disciplines committed to identify best practices that will improve health-for-all in local, national, regional, and global settings.
Industry Landscape
Systematic collection, evaluation, processing and publishing of census data helps countries like India focus on the areas of the population that need attention. The rural and urban areas alike are regularly surveyed for population count and for updates can be used by the government and health regulatory bodies.
The client realized that the traditional methods of research and data storage that were employed globally could handle only one project at a time and required third party software to integrate and archive data from different projects, which consumed a lot of time and required investment on manpower for cleaning, validating, printing, and sorting the data.
Generations of relevant reports and tracking the location of the field staff was also a challenging task. To overcome these problems, the client wanted to transform the traditional method of research and data storage practice to digital and integrated data storage.
Contemporary research activities require a secure and robust mode of operation. The client, therefore wanted an application that could integrate data from different sectors and aspects of environment, development, life style, and demographics in the same system and enable the user of the application to design any kind of report on his own without depending on the developer for creating and saving new report formats. The client wanted that the application should reduce the massive workload of data collection and data archiving. Huge investments on the resources for research activities such as, data entry operators, supervisors for checking, data analysis, and computers also needed to be cut down.
To meet all the client requirements, our experts conducted extensive research and used android and PHP technologies to develop an application that includes all the features in a single unit and provides a highly secure and robust mode of operation.
Our experts linked the data of various projects and from different sectors to core variables through unique ids and maintained in the same application.
Data collection in areas with low/no internet connection: The application is made to run on the android app for data entry in remote locations where the internet access is sparsely present. The mobile component used by the surveyors can be operated after uploading selected data about the region and can also be operated in the field without internet connection.
Double Data Entry system: Q3 developed a double data entry system which is one of a kind in the world and is used by the client to cross verify and validate data.
Paper-free, layered collection of data: The application is made paper free by collecting the data on android tablets and synchronizing to the main server through Wi-Fi. The information collected in different rounds can be updated and new information received is maintained in a new layer on the top of the whole information.
Inter-relations and Family trees: The data collected can be seen in the family tree pattern allowing the client to understand the genetic linkages and their association with the various influencing factors. The application allows clean data entries and the merging of datasets from the various projects.
GPS tracking of staff: The tracking of field staff is monitored using the GPS technology. The activities can be supervised in real time because of the application functionality of rapid assessment of quality of data. And the application supports both the online and offline mode of operations due to the limited internet connectivity and transportation facility.
The application is made available on the public portals to be used by surveillance systems and research organizations across the world. This will not only update the demographic changes of population but also manage the changes in their physical structures.

Barack Obama has been designated "Keeper of the Lubricant" by the Obama/Reid deal currently under consideration in the Senate. When the legislation passes Obama will begin distributing the lube with choice of flavor and color – to help ease the pain of insertion for liberals.
The wave of the future for America! Grab your seat compliments of Barack Obama and the Republican party. (Courtesy Thomas R Machnitzki. As always click the photo for the link).
Government in this country has been a case of the criminal pushing the criminal to shape a government of their liking.
Sadly, for the 98%, Obama doesn't have to be pushed too hard to do the bidding of the 2%.
Should Obama win reelection he is set to become the next Herbert Hoover and he will affix a permanent stain on the Democratic party.
Joe Walsh, right wing Republican extremist, has been exposed as a deadbeat dad who owes more than $134,000 in child support payments. Apparently vacations in Italy with his girlfriend have put a crimp in his budget.
Perhaps he should be forced to resign. Failure to pay child support is an unconscionable social, moral and legal transgression.
Democrats, where are you???
Helping the needy is a Biblical mandate and a Christian obligation not a Democratic Party doctrine as right wing extremists often claim. Although Democrats are far more likely to observe the New Testament charge to help the poor, conservative Republicans openly exploit Christian values while with every vote they steal from the poor to give to the rich.
It appears as though both parties are focused on the same goal. The Democrats can't get away with it without a corresponding increase in revenue. The goal is "cut and gut". And applies mainly to the social safety net.
We do have a revenue crisis. Revenue collections are at their lowest levels as a percentage of GDP since the 1950s.
Let's raise taxes on the wealthy.
Any deal that is struck will be about cuts to the safety net. A new proposal contains the ubiquitous "cut and gut" commission which is bound to be rigged in order to lubricate cuts borne by average Americans. Members appointed to the Cut And Gut Commission are bound to be safety net surgeons – of the same ilk as those appointed to Obama's Catfood Commission.
What's more important: Paying child support or taking a vacation to Italy with your girlfriend?
And the winner is – at least as far as the Congress of the United States is concerned – taking a vacation to Italy with your girlfriend.
Let's hope this Joe Walsh, who is a deadbeat dad to the tune of some $134,000, someday pulls his pants down in the ladies room of a train station. That's the only way Democrats could must enough gumption to force his resignation. Maybe.
CEO pay way up; workers pay way down. For those who have a job that is. One of life's great mysteries is why do slightly more than half of all Americans vote to sustain the imbalance.
Obama is determined to cut the social safety net in order to fulfill a campaign promise to his Wall Street backers.
He's already bagged cash to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. And there's more where that came from. Disgusting.
Are you better off today than you were three years ago?
Wars go on and on.
Oil prices skyrocketing.
Real estate values plummeting.
Foreclosures accelerating.
Bank robbers go free.
Unemployment rising.
Economy tanking.
And Obama's on their side.
Half the country is so Foxed up, the only question that remains for them is which lubricant to use.
As a loyal Democrat, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) has no choice but to vote against the Obama/Reid monster surrender. As a servant of Barack Obama he will vote in favor, claiming he was forced to. No one is forced to do anything.
Obama is sailing his ship into an iceberg – with the Democratic party cheerfully on board.
Are you convinced yet that Obama is a traitor to the Democratic party?

Limited stock will be available on 07/31 at 10am PST!!!
This Aloha Collection has something truly magical about it...
Tuberose + Coconut
I don't know how to describe this other than absolutely dreamy. Tuberose is super sexy and Coconut is basically the beach. This one is an OMG for me.
I'm not a fruity perfume girl, but there is something different about this Mango. It is sweet, but also has a sultry muskiness about it.
I find myself putting this one on often.
This oil to me is straight up walking down a path in Hawaii after a quick rain when the Plumeria is blooming.
Gardenia + Lilikoi
Pure Magic.
This blend has been on repeat already for many customers and it's easy to see why.
Available in a gorgeous 10ml roller bottle or a 1 ml sample bottle here.
All of these oils are 100% natural and hand made by small farms on the Big Island, Maui and Kauai.
I am only able to buy them in small batches at a time and they do sell out quickly!
When we lived on Kauai I met (OK stalked) the most incredible man that was distilling essential oils on Kauai and Maui. I begged him to sell me the oils and it took me a while but I finally broke him down.
We very quickly went through our first batch but I have been able to get more oils that are quite possibly even more amazing...
Each oil that I am lucky enough to get is either distilled or created with the enfleurage method using flowers and fruits from small farmers on the Big Island, Maui and Kauai.
Honestly, I get chills just having these oils!!! But then again I'm a bit obsessed with Hawaii and her flowers!
All scents are sold separately!
As these perfumes are all created from pure essential oils and extracts, they will not last as long on the skin as a traditional perfume.
Please enjoy my private collection of Hawaiian treats. I thought we could all use a little ALOHA right now...

Big Red Car here on a day when he could not come up with a good Google Adwords title for the post. Sorry.
But, hey, not to worry, going to be 85F today in the ATX. Ahhh, a Texas winter!
So, I'm eavesdropping on The Boss and a couple of his CEOs chattering about this and that and the subject comes to — "How does a CEO grab the company and shake them up a little when things are going fine? No crisis but needing a little shaking up? Throw off the winter blues?"
So, here is the answer to that simple question.
1. The CEO conducts an Anonymous Company Survey. [Ping me if you want a good exemplar of a CAS. I'll send you one.]
The Survey asks some tough questions:
What do I not know that I should? This is the classic "blindspot" question.
If YOU were the CEO, what are the first two things you would do?
2. The CEO analyzes the information obtained from the Anonymous Company Survey.
3. The CEO has a one-on-one chat with each of her direct reports and discusses the information. Not in the raw form, in the analyzed form.
4. The CEO has an offsite meeting with her top management to reinvigorate Vision, Mission, Strategy, Tactics, Objectives, Values, Culture and to chat about the results of the Anonymous Company Survey.
5. The CEO has a company wide Town Hall meeting in which she announces a couple of initiatives she is going to launch because of the enlightenment created by the Anonymous Company Survey.
She reminds all of the Vision, Mission, Strategy, Tactics, Objectives, Values, Culture of the company and asks — "Are we headed in the right direction?"
6. At that Town Hall meeting, the CEO insists on answering every question until the last dog dies and then demands FIVE more questions. You stand there until the awkwardness is about to drown everyone and you force those questions out of their heads and into the room and then — YOU ANSWER THEM.
You think this doesn't work? Then, do it and prove me wrong. Haha. You KNOW I'm right, don't you?
It is that easy, y'all. That's all you have to do to inject a little energy back into everyone's step, to prove you're listening, to find some damn good ideas, and to throw off the lethargy of winter.
But., hey, what the Hell do I really know anyway? I'm just a Big Red Car. Paint job, y'all?

Postcard from Day 5 at Super Bowl LI
Never seen so many explosives-sniffing police dogs in my life. They're everywhere. I think I saw one outside my hotel door.
Talked to a police officer from Oakland when I entered the George Brown Convention Center on Friday afternoon. In the drill, you put your backpack off to the side before you remove from the pockets your car keys, coins, pens, fingernail clipper, brass knuckles, etc. (My kids say I have a filing cabinet in my pockets.) Then, the officer takes the dog by each bag twice.
The cop from one of the K9 police groups working the Super Bowl said there were 120 highly trained, explosive device-sniffing dogs that flew in from all over the country. "But there are never enough," he said.
These dogs, most of them Labradors or German shepherds, are trained to sniff out up to 19,000 scents and are taught to sit quietly in front of a bag with an explosive and wait for a food reward. This will mark the third Super Bowl they've worked. They've come from San Francisco, Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo and even Guam. Some are trained at Auburn's College of Veterinary Medicine.
I passed again. Glad they haven't introduced candy bar-sniffing dogs.
They actually have a Conflict Solution desk inside the Accreditation Center where reporters pick up their weeklong badges and separate game credentials.
So I asked volunteer Joe from San Antoni what was the biggest conflict he resolved this week.
"Some guy said his granddaughter had his credentials," Joe said. "Had two girls in who were drunk."
He didn't say how he resolved their problems.
A friend asked me if reporters get any Super Bowl swag. Not really. Although they did give us a bag of items at Media Night that included deodorant. Guess there's a message there.
Parking prices are steep here in Houston.
The same parking lot two blocks from the convention center that charged $20 on Monday hiked its price to $50 on Friday. I don't even want to know what they'll charge on Sunday.
Being frugal, I bypassed the lot for a parking garage 10 blocks away that charged only $30. Cash only. I need the exercise.
Most of the media — not me — are headquartered in the Marriott Marquis, which charges the press $375 a night with a seven-night minimum. Valet charges are $35 a day. No one celebrates price-gouging quite like the NFL.

Have you considered renting a retirement property?
More and more people are reaching their retirement years and considering renting when it comes to making their last property move.
In line with this growing trend, we have introduced two rental options that you may want to consider further, as alternatives to buying.
Rental options in retirement
We recognise that everyone's personal circumstances and financial retirement plans are different, so to help meet individual requirements, we have two rental packages available.
Our Rent to Buy scheme
Our rent to buy scheme allows you to move into your new home much sooner which means you can start to enjoy village life immediately.
It works like this:
- You exchange contracts on your new Retirement Villages property and pay a 10% deposit.
- You move into your new home and enjoy six months, rent free.
- You then have between 6-24 months paying full rent until completion.
Rent to Buy removes some of the time pressure from selling your existing home. It also means you can enjoy six months rent-free living – the only additional costs are your council tax and utility bills.
Long-term rental
If you're not 100% sure which UK location you want to put down your permanent retirement 'roots' then a long-term rental could be the perfect option for you.
Equally, it gives you a great opportunity to try out a retirement living lifestyle without having to make a permanent commitment at the outset.
How does this work:
We offer a minimum 12-month assured shorthold tenancies. The monthly rental fee includes full use of all of our exclusive village facilities. The only additional costs incurred will be your council tax and utility bills.
Of course, the great benefit of a long-term rental is no Stamp Duty to pay.
Please note
Only properties owned by Retirement Villages are available through a rental package. Rental properties are available at the following villages:
- Avonpark
- Charters Village
- Debden Grange
- Elmbridge Village
- Gittisham Hill Park
- Lime Tree Village
- Thamesfield
- Roseland Parc
- The Priory
For more information about our rental options please contact our head office sales team on 01372 383950 or complete the form below and we will be back in touch with you.

It's the dawning of time, when there will be a shine, the child and the dream will come true. All we need is the spelling (awe stricken charm, the magic power to serve and relieve) of the shelling (removing outer cover to find within the treasure) we canaling (passageway that keep us together or ducts that allow our tears to flow, to travel down a river, to enjoy and never be unhappy while living with God) if we choose only love that is sublime (majestic).
And if all is the hood, the brother's who should, then we will be the magic carpet on a ride. Let us be the adventurer who takes our heart out (outward), to be the hope of a child. Then we would be the cover that we need to be stable, the time of loving brotherhood of all days. Heaven is coming and let Earth hear the ringing of freedom and clouds that are full of rain. To plant every seed and then in the spring, the flowers will blossom again in our hearts. Then there is fall that is uncovered, the trees that turn colors, that give us the best show in the world. And Golden never has a heart to say never, because all is possible with them. Dreams come alive and we can come out from hiding, to a land that is rich and man can sea (vision of the heart).
It's the Golden who knows that fear never goes to a world of Heaven and Earth. We need brotherhood this day, to be a land that we can play, the place we all go out to dance and have a good time. What happens when we forgot that Love rules the day and our hearts never give the time of the day? We need offer a brother, a warm heart who is in trouble and give consolance when there is a need. I am the Golden Sun, that rises in the afternoons to be rich in sunshine each day. There is a land where our sisters need refuge to be discovered, the embrace even the sun needs each day. We can drive the heart homeward when the sun is golden and we are living sacred each day.
Now the Green is the cover of the storm and it's trouble, the unrecognized place where the river of life does flow. I want my separation to be discovered to bring them together, as one heart, one flowing one time. And if we recognize the hearts that need loving then, we could be the warriors who long for paradise each and every day. The days of the oven has come to cook (the sacred blessings, purification by fire, like candles and incense or the fire lit sky that is prophesied-meteors) our loving, to be a bright shining light that purifies the ways. We each need God's willing to be the heart of nilly (not to will, but to be flowing) the place where forgiveness is the past (to put under as forgiveness has already taken place and joy has been discovered). We each have our part, the sacred start, the golden dawning of time, the open portals where rivers do flow. And there is one knowing the place where all men flow, the heart and one mind of God.
It's the voice of the Violet, who discovers the baskets (to fill up, like as a fountain receives others to gift it's cleansing, the blades of grass who provide us with God the house, the place we do flow as the river of God), the places we each go into time. Many don't see how much pressure it needs, to bring us together, as one flowing heart that is sublime. And we are the hearts knowing to bring us together when we choose the hear all the parts, as one voice. If we discover the many who uncover, to bring our problems to a sound (song of Angels). The calling of trouble tells us we need each other to resolve all our differences each day. And the heart that knows trouble is the one who uncovers the many flowing apart everyday. It's the voice that echoes, and the heart that is known when we offer each other the way out, from distress and disease when love is used to be part of all life. It's the strength of the army to be part of the warriors who fight for justice every single time.
It's Grandmother (gray) who shutters and longs to be with each other, when the love of all people come apart. We need the embrace to fill the heart of grace, to be the willing, the forgotten we disdain. We have to be the heart of those who need to smart (sting) us, because it's them who have lost their way. And they need a good story every day, to shed light upon their days. And gift love to all who show you the heart of always.
We endure because trouble is where those who have never, the true love of those who need help. In each of us is a heart that speaks to keep us together and only warriors who are true to keep us as part, of the flowing river, the life that is forever, the place we go from we call God (eternal circle of life). Let us gift loving, let us be forgiving. Let us be the great warrior true and then we will be open to solve all our problems and seek each others hearts to begin to stay alive!

If this Pokémon is holding a White Herb, the ability will activate before using the White Herb. If it was attack that was lowered, Defiant will increase before activating the item, so it does not get used.

Charlotte House, CST, LMHC
Mindfulness-based Somatic Counseling, CranioSacral Therapy
WA State License: MC60499235
"Traumatic symptoms are not caused by the 'triggering' event itself. They stem from the frozen residue of energy that has not been resolved and discharged; this residue remains trapped in the nervous system where it can wreak havoc on our bodies and spirits."
— from Waking the Tiger by Peter A. Levine, PhD
I see adults (18 and over) and couples in my counseling practice. I work with body sensation, inviting Mindfulness to assist in your awareness of embodied joy, your felt sense of troubled states, and the shifts that occur between the two. Your traumatic past does not have to be your prison. I can show you how to safely release what is stored there, without overwhelm or direct memory.
Using body-centered therapies such as Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Processing, I assist in the restoration of the nervous system. Whether your issues express as Depression, Anxiety or Misdirection, the work for me is the same: restoring you to your Authentic Self. I often use CranioSacral Therapy to assist in this process. This energy work is gentle, profound and restorative.
I have hours at Fremont Healing Arts on Sundays, and in West Seattle on Tues, Wed and Thurs. Please see my website for directions to either location, and for online scheduling.

WA State License: LH00009449
I see the therapeutic process as a collaborative one. My approach is first and foremost to provide a safe, warm and respectful space for my clients. I believe this is key to moving towards growth and change. My approach is rooted in Systems, which looks at core relationships and how these relationships impact how we view ourselves in the world. I also draw from Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Narrative and Mindfulness-based work.
Our life journey is like a road map with many twists and turns. Each chapter in one's life comes with a rich, beautiful, dark, challenging, healing and powerful story. It gives me purpose to hold space for clients and allow for them to share their story and gain perspective on it. Sharing your truth in a safe environment with someone you trust can be so powerful.
I specialize in work with adolescents, adults and couples who may be struggling with:

Feeling unhappy in your body? Struggling to make peace with food? It's time to stop the fight. I can help!
I work with individuals, couples, and families around a variety of mental health concerns but specialize in working with women and adolescent girls who want to make peace with food and their bodies, embrace eating in a new intuitive and mindful way, and find a sense of body acceptance and self compassion in their lives. I also help women and girls dealing with substance abuse, depression and anxiety, relationship issues, and major transitions in their lives. In fact, these concerns are often at the root of our struggles around food and our bodies.
As women, we receive so many messages about who we are vs. who we should be in the world and holding onto these messages plays a large role in not just our struggles with food and our bodies but our overall mental health. I can help with letting go of "rules" about what you should eat, worrying about your size and what that number on the scale says, as well as helping you with the tough stuff underneath these worries.
Please see my website for more information or call or e-mail to set up your first session.

Mindfulness-Based Counseling - Individuals, Couples and Families
WA State License: LH60720053
Specializing in addiction, adoption issues, and couples
My own journey as a therapist began many years ago when I made the decision that I could no longer use substances to cover up my own pain, thus beginning a journey into recovery and out of darkness and suffering. I find joy in embodying my fullest self and by doing so creating adventure and excitement in all that I do.
I offer mindfulness-based counseling services. I have a strong understanding of addiction and the ramifications it can have, not only on the individual, but on significant others and families. I see addiction as more than a disease: it is a manifestation of deeper wounds that one is attempting to manage by using drugs and/or alcohol. In my practice I use mindfulness and the body to help one recognize thoughts, feelings and sensations. This, in my understanding, is part of the path to healing.
I also work with adult adoptees seeking out biological family members, parents of adopted children, parents looking for guidance with their children, and couples and individuals. I look for guides to help me on my own journey, and bring that training and experience to you, my clients. I see you as being capable of creating healing for yourself. I just happen to be part of the process to nurturing this along.
My training consists of being present with myself on my own journey, systems theory, Hakomi, MBRP (Mindfulness-based Relapse Prevention), body-oriented practices, and a deep rootedness in mindfulness and twelve-step recovery. Above all, my work is grounded in respect for you: many people are just looking for someone to truly hear them, see them, and be with them as they express their pains and their joys in life. My experiences in my personal life have prepared me to be with you and provide a safe haven of deep understanding and compassion for your suffering.
I feel fortunate to have found my passion in this work. Connecting people to themselves so they may have a deeper connection with others and their world is my greatest pleasure. Mindfulness is a path to creating this deep connection inside rather than seeking something outside to make life okay. If you are seeking someone to help illuminate your path, I would be honored to be of assistance.

Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
WA State License: HP10001020
While teaching weight loss classes using hypnosis, I discovered that I truly love the process of discovering the unconscious beginnings of unwanted thoughts and behaviors. Facilitating a shift in perception, and the ensuing excitement when your experience changes, continues to fuel this passion.
This is true whether you are less excited about cookies, or you regain excitement because your panic attacks have disappeared.
I work with people who have specific fears, unwanted habits, and are looking for a catalyst for change.
If you absolutely refuse to laugh, and are unwilling to want to believe you are totally lovable, we might not be a good fit.
Drawing from my vast experience with hypnotherapy, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), I like to empower you with tools you can take with you to use in your life.
I would happily answer any of your questions via email or a free 20 minute phone consultation.

Psychotherapy, Art Therapy Yoga
My approach is to start where you are, discuss your intentions for coming to therapy, and explore past experiences as they relate to your situation now in a supportive, non-judgmental, and collaborative way. My work with clients is guided by psychodynamic and humanistic theories, my background in yoga teaching and art therapy, and I have specialized training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, which means, I also draw from mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I believe in each person's intrinsic capacity to learn, heal, grow, and thrive and I feel honored for my almost 20 years of witnessing positive change in people's lives and greater self-acceptance.
I specialize in working with people who are experiencing life adjustments such as transition to parenthood, career, or academic changes, anxiety, and grief and loss.
Sessions with clients range from engaging in traditional talk therapy to sharing stress relief tools such as breathing or yoga postures, practicing mindfulness techniques together, to using art materials to help clients gain perspective on what they are experiencing and changes they would like to see in their lives. Some people find art therapy to be especially helpful for expressing feelings that may go beyond words, for meaning making, problem solving, stress reduction, self-esteem building, and for gaining a new perspective on a situation. A person does not need to be an artist to benefit from the use of art therapy.
I have deep respect for the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship and look forward to collaborating with you on your healing journey.
Please contact me if you would like to set up an initial free 20 minute in person or phone consultation.

A German research group has used pluripotent stem cells to design a new in vitro model system for investigating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD, or steatosis, is a liver disease whose prevalence is probably much higher than estimated, and the new cases of it are increasing every year throughout the world. NAFLD is typically associated with obesity and type-2 diabetes. An estimated one-third of the general population of Western countries is thought to be affected with NAFLD, with or without symptoms. It usually results from a high caloric diet in combination with a lack of exercise. The liver begins to accumulate fat as lipid droplets. Initially, this is a benign state, but it can develop into nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (also known as NASH), an inflammatory disease of the liver. Then many patients develop fibrosis, cirrhosis or even liver cancer. However, in many cases patients die of heart failure before they develop severe liver damage.
A major obstacle that dogged NAFLD research was that biopsies of patients and healthy individuals were required. Researchers from the Institute for Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine at the University Clinic of Düsseldorf, Germany solved this problem by reprogramming skin cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that they differentiated into hepatocyte-like cells.
"Although our hepatocyte-like cells are not fully mature, they are already an excellent model system for the analysis of such a complex disease", said Nina Graffmann, first author of the paper that appeared in the journal Stem Cells and Development.
The researchers recapitulated important steps of the disease in cultured cells. They demonstrated up-regulation of PLIN2, a protein called perilipin that surrounds lipid droplets. Mice without PLIN2 do not become obese, even when overfed with a high fat diet. Also the key role of PPARα, a transcription factor involved in controlling glucose and lipid metabolism, was reproduced in the tissue culture system. "In our system, we can efficiently induce lipid storage in hepatocyte-like cells and manipulate associated proteins or microRNAs by adding various factors into the culture. Thus, our in vitro model offers the opportunity to analyse drugs which might reduce the stored fat in hepatocytes," Graffmann said.
Senior author James Adjaye and his colleagues hope to expand their model by deriving iPSCs from NAFLD patients. They hope to discover differences that might explain the course of NAFLD.
"Using as reference the data and biomarkers obtained from our initial analyses on patient liver biopsies and matching serum samples, we hope to better understand the etiology of NAFLD and the development of NASH at the level of the individual, with the ultimate aim of developing targeted therapy options," said Adjayer.

Shamanism utilises the ability to explore and make changes in the subconscious. The method used in these workshops is "Journeying". The journeys are voice led and accompanied by live shamanic drumming.
When a soul fragments, usually at the time of trauma, a part returns to the dark feminine womb deep within the Earth Mother. When we suffer from physical illness or emotional ailments it is often due to soul parts demanding to be acknowledged. So, we use journeying to engage with the soul part for restoration and renewal.
These guided journeys are designed to:
- Familiarise you with journeying techniques
- Identify and release deeply held unconscious beliefs and patterns that were taken on as a result of trauma or societal frameworks
- work with what presents itself during the journeys and find a more positive focus, clarity and inspiration with which to "rewrite" stories and patterns that no longer have benefit
- Experience a direct and empowering shift that may bring about the beginning of a renewed purpose in life.
A part of the workshop will involve a dialogue with a fellow participant in order to help process the information from the journeys.
"I feel like a whole different person with a new blueprint to the one who lay down before the treatment.
It's as if the memory of me, when I came in, was not me at all but just a card board cut out of me.
Now I feel focused, energized and … like I can move on." ~Tina P.

Boy's parties are sometimes so hard to think of an idea that is fresh, unique and stylish all at the same time - it often feels like it all has been done...But then we see parties like this monochromatic first birthday by our #StyleCrushDuo from Creating Beautiful and we have a bit of a #AHH moment!
Their inspiration was from the word 'Mono,' which means one + made them immediately think of a monochromatic palette - we love what they did they! Felicity and Bree, the pair behind Creating Beautiful adore everything little, and wanted to capture a grown ups take on turning ONE, so think a sophisticated take on what we would usually see at a children's party.
We are particularly loving the gorgeous marble balloon installation in the shape of the number one - such a unique way to use balloons and we are #OBSESSED! Also, how cute is it that the little bubs all had outfits that matched the black and white theme?? We are #inLOVE!!
And since we are in awe of this creative little party, we just had to ask for their number one style tip:
"Careful not to 'overstyle', take encouragement from the minimalist 'less is more' approach."

Monetary incentives are the petri dish where motivation grows in work environments, particularly in sales. Whether the culture that forms is a healthy one or not depends on context. Customers' expectations of service providers are changing. People expect service not just sales. So how do you design an incentive scheme that supports customer service and results in sales?

The History of Aredfox.com
Jan 7, 2010
On Jun 23, 2000, I regisitered www.aredfox.com domain in east.net, who was also my first email service provider back in 1996.
On Sep 10, 2008, My registeration expired. Another company called ENOM took it at once and put it with trojan.
Today I visited it again and found it had become a search source making traffic money from Google. It is still in ENOM's hand, but I guess it is a bad business for ENOM to keep it. The Alexa traffic rank for aredfox.com is now 24,246,365, maybe just a little better than a blank page.

From an email:
"Sadly, we can't bring back Stetsons after it closed down. But at least the trivia night that had been going on there for 15 years is being relaunched at Cafe Saint-Ex, each Tuesday night at 7 p.m., starting tonight.
I took over the trivia writing and hosting gig at Stetsons in 2011, and was joined by co-host and co-writer Brian Lipinski in 2014, and after a few months of hitting the pavement and talking both to other bars and to our longtime regulars about where would be a good place to continue the Stetsons trivia tradition, we've made the move a few blocks over to Saint-Ex. While the location is a bit different, the homespun DC-flavored trivia we bring will be very much the same.
A few details:
-Trivia starts at 7 p.m. each Tuesday (doors to the downstairs Gate 54 bar open at 6). Ends approximately between 9 and 9:30.
-7 rounds of trivia, mostly 10 questions each.
-Winning team gets $50 off its tab; 2nd place gets $25 off; 3rd place choose a theme for us to write a round of trivia on for the following week.
-Additional prizes for teams who do best during league seasons which will run alongside the regular trivia night, with the first league season to begin in February.
-Trivia night drink specials: extended Happy Hour until 8 p.m. in the downstairs trivia bar, and buckets of 5 Yuenglings or Miller Lites for $20 all through trivia night.
–Facebook for hints and more details."
