Surface irrigation
Surface irrigation is where water is applied and distributed over the soil surface by gravity. It is by far the most common form of irrigation throughout the world and has been practiced in many areas virtually unchanged for thousands of years.
Surface irrigation is often referred to as flood irrigation, implying that the water distribution is uncontrolled and therefore, inherently inefficient. In reality, some of the irrigation practices grouped under this name involve a significant degree of management (for example surge irrigation). Surface irrigation comes in three major types; level basin, furrow and border strip.
The process of surface irrigation can be described using four phases. As water is applied to the top end of the field it will flow or advance over the field length. The advance phase refers to that length of time as water is applied to the top end of the field and flows or advances over the field length. After the water reaches the end of the field it will either run-off or start to pond. The period of time between the end of the advance phase and the shut-off of the inflow is termed the wetting, ponding or storage phase. As the inflow ceases the water will continue to runoff and infiltrate until the entire field is drained. The depletion phase is that short period of time after cut-off when the length of the field is still submerged. The recession phase describes the time period while the water front is retreating towards the downstream end of the field. The depth of water applied to any point in the field is a function of the opportunity time, the length of time for which water is present on the soil surface.
Types of Surface IrrigationEdit
Basin irrigationEdit
Level basin irrigation has historically been used in small areas having level surfaces that are surrounded by earth banks. The water is applied rapidly to the entire basin and is allowed to infiltrate. In traditional basins no water is permitted to drain from the field once it is irrigated. Basin irrigation is favoured in soils with relatively low infiltration rates.[1] This is also a method of surface irrigation. Fields are typically set up to follow the natural contours of the land but the introduction of laser levelling and land grading has permitted the construction of large rectangular basins that are more appropriate for mechanised broadacre cropping.
Drainback Level BasinsEdit
Drain back level basins (DBLB) or contour basins are a variant of basin irrigation where the field is divided into a number of terraced rectangular bays which are graded level or have no significant slope. Water is applied to the first bay (usually the highest in elevation) and when the desired depth is applied water is permitted to drain back off that bay and flow to the next bay which is at a lower elevation than the first. Each bay is irrigated in turn using a combination of drainage water from the previous bay and continuing inflow from the supply channel. Successful operation of these systems is reliant on a sufficient elevation drop between successive bays. These systems are commonly used in Australia where rice and wheat are grown in rotation.[2]
Furrow irrigationEdit
Furrow irrigation is conducted by creating small parallel channels along the field length in the direction of predominant slope. Water is applied to the top end of each furrow and flows down the field under the influence of gravity. Water may be supplied using gated pipe, siphon and head ditch, or bankless systems. The speed of water movement is determined by many factors such as slope, surface roughness and furrow shape but most importantly by the inflow rate and soil infiltration rate. The spacing between adjacent furrows is governed by the crop species, common spacings typically range from 0.75 to 2 metres. The crop is planted on the ridge between furrows which may contain a single row of plants or several rows in the case of a bed type system. Furrows may range anywhere from less than 100 m to 2000 m long depending on the soil type, location and crop type. Shorter furrows are commonly associated with higher uniformity of application but result in increasing potential for runoff losses. Furrow irrigation is particularly suited to broad-acre row crops such as cotton, maize and sugar cane. It is also practiced in various horticultural industries such as citrus, stone fruit and tomatoes.
The water can take a considerable period of time to reach the other end, meaning water has been infiltrating for a longer period of time at the top end of the field. This results in poor uniformity with high application at the top end with lower application at the bottom end. In most cases the performance of furrow irrigation can be improved through increasing the speed at which water moves along the field (the advance rate). This can be achieved through increasing flow rates or through the practice of surge irrigation. Increasing the advance rate not only improves the uniformity but also reduces the total volume of water required to complete the irrigation.
Surge irrigationEdit
Surge Irrigation is a variant of furrow irrigation where the water supply is pulsed on and off in planned time periods (e.g. on for 1 hour off for 1½ hour). The wetting and drying cycles reduce infiltration rates resulting in faster advance rates and higher uniformity[3] than continuous flow. The reduction in infiltration is a result of surface consolidation, filling of cracks and micro pores and the disintegration of soil particles during rapid wetting and consequent surface sealing during each drying phase.[4] On those soils where surging is effective it has been reported to allow completion of the irrigation with a lower overall water usage and therefore higher efficiency and potentially offer the ability to practice deficit irrigation.[5] The effectiveness of surge irrigation is soil type dependent; for example, many clay soils experience a rapid sealing behaviour under continuous flow and therefore surge irrigation offers little benefit.[1]
Bay/border strip irrigationEdit
Border strip, otherwise known as border check or bay irrigation could be considered as a hybrid of level basin and furrow irrigation. The field is divided into a number of bays or strips, each bay is separated by raised earth check banks (borders). The bays are typically longer and narrower compared to basin irrigation and are orientated to align lengthwise with the slope of the field. Typical bay dimensions are between 10-70m wide and 100-700m long. The water is applied to the top end of the bay, which is usually constructed to facilitate free-flowing conditions at the downstream end. One common use of this technique includes the irrigation of pasture for dairy production.
Issues associated with surface irrigationEdit
While surface irrigation can be practiced effectively using the correct management under the right conditions, it is often associated with a number of issues undermining productivity and environmental sustainability:[6]
- Waterlogging - Can cause the plant to shut down delaying further growth until sufficient water drains from the rootzone. Waterlogging may be counteracted by drainage, tile drainage or watertable control by another form of subsurface drainage.[7][8]
- Deep drainage - Overirrigation may cause water to move below the root zone resulting in rising water tables. In regions with naturally occurring saline soil layers (for example salinity in south eastern Australia) or saline aquifers, these rising water tables may bring salt up into the root zone leading to problems of irrigation salinity.
- Salinization - Depending on water quality irrigation water may add significant volumes of salt to the soil profile. While this is a lesser issue for surface irrigation compared to other irrigation methods (due to the comparatively high leaching fraction), lack of subsurface drainage may restrict the leaching of salts from the soil. This can be remedied by drainage and soil salinity control through flushing.
The aim of modern surface irrigation management is to minimize the risk of these potential adverse impacts.

Son's Excited 1st-Time Reaction to STAR WARS The Force Awakens
Two years ago, when he was six, my son and I watched STAR WARS: A New Hope for his first time. He was ridiculously adorable and hilarious and he LOVED it. The internet also loved the reaction video, so I did one for Empire and Jedi as well.
We waited way too long to watch The Force Awakens, over a year later, so he knew a lot of spoilers. But not everything!
Watching the Star Wars Saga with my son has been one of the most priceless experiences for me as his dad. Sharing something I loved as a kid with him was its own treasure of experiences, but for him to fall so deeply in love with the Star Wars universe was beyond what I ever hoped for.
And now, with new episodes like The Force Awakens, and The Last Jedi just days away, I'm no longer sharing things from my childhood, we've got plenty more to experience together in a galaxy far, far away.
If you want to see his reactions to the original trilogy, here you go. And may the Force be with you!

The Power of Presence
Any and all humans are susceptible to the incessant chatter of the mind. Add school, business or any other responsibility and that chatter grows from a split conversation to a whole town meeting. If you are trying to do eight things at once, dreading or projecting their outcomes, how can you even come close to performing the current task at your full potential? Herein lies the power of presence.
Meditation. 90% of people have heard the word, a portion of those maybe have even adopted the courage to sit down and quiet their thoughts, but I am going to go out on a limb here and say that upon sitting down, your experience went as follows. You sit down and think to yourself, "Stop thinking, stop thinking. No thoughts. Blank. This is really uncomfortable. Did I lock the door? Ah!"
It's so common! My experience guiding meditation has shown me that the fear of that experience itself is what keeps people from centering their focus and calming their mind. I am here to debunk your story and offer a few tips that will give you power in the present moment.
Meditation can happen anytime that you are focusing on one thing and one thing only. That thing does not have to be bliss but can be your talk that you are writing, the conversation you are having or even the food that you are eating.
Here are 3 Exercises to Focus Your Mind (and Grow Your Business):
- Try taking a bite of next meal and notice everything about the experience. Notice the rush of flavors as you chew, delight in the pleasure hormones your brain releases. As you swallow, feel the chewed up food move down the throat, following it as far down as you can. That is a meditation.
You cannot control your brain but you can train it. The brain is a rabid dog at times that runs wildly eating up all of your good intentions. Try to tell yourself to think a certain thought or feel a specific emotion and take notice of the pop up bubble that says, "yeah, but what if it doesn't work?", "mm.. that is a great thought but it's probably not true". Do not fret, like a wild dog, it can be tamed. When those negative thoughts do start to appear, you have the power to direct them back to where they belong.
- When you are working on something and a thought raids your focus, write it down. Make a note to come back to it. Take a breathe. Refocus on your current task. Resume. (You may have to do this 100 times when you begin but after a while you will notice the thoughts interrupt less and less).
Practice reassuring yourself of the power of presence. A huge part of fear, whether it is public speaking or handing in your final project, is imaginary future projections. We create huge, disastrous events in our mind from things as small as typing on a piece of paper. Will people really boo you? Not likely. Will your teacher tear up your paper in a flurry of disgust? Improbable. You cannot control what happens in the future, you only have control of what you do at this exact moment. Your teacher is not shredding any reports in this moment so bring your focus to what does matter right now because what you are doing at this exact moment is not hard.
- Break it down. Is walking into an office hard? No. Is putting together a sentence terrifying? NO! Presenting a concept and conducting an interview is just that. Rather than projecting a situation into an event, focus on each small part that makes up that event and remind yourself of the power that you have in the present.

My youngest made a Thanksgiving card for Cory and me. The message contained within said, "Daddy, thank you for making me breakfast every morning. Mommy, even though I don't see you much, I still love you."
Heartbreaking, because it's true.
I'm in school full-time. I'm working a job I love full-time. Just over a year ago, I was doing neither. I was home full-time. I was mommying full-time. I was available to the kids full-time. I'm not anymore.
I don't have to be working or going back to school. I do love what I'm learning in school. I think that this degree, hand-in-hand with the job I'm working, could really lead to a career that I love, that I'm good at, that makes me a better person. I want to be a better person for me, for my family, for my friends, for my community, for my world. I want that. And, most of the time, I'm confident that this is worth it.
Sometimes, today, through the eyes of my youngest, I'm not so sure.

Every week Pique peels back the layers of the local food scene, profiling a chef and telling their story, along with a recipe, in this space — "Chef's Choice."
In these column inches we've interviewed chefs from award-winning, high-end eateries like Chef James Walt at Araxi. We've interviewed trained raw food chefs like Sarah Uy. We've profiled executive chefs from some of Whistler's top hotels alongside cooks from local cafés. All have a unique story to tell about how they fell in love with food.
The stories of "Chef's Choice" are much like the stories of Whistler — fun, eclectic, genuine.
Some of those best interviews and recipes from over the past few years have been re-imagined into a new cookbook called Chefs' Choice Cookbook.
This is Pique's "taste of Whistler" and it will officially launch during Cornucopia, Whistler's 11-day food and drink celebration, in an event called The Picnic on Thursday, Nov. 12.
Amy Huddle, president of the Whistler Food and Beverage Association, sums up Whistler's culinary offerings, and by extension, the "Chef's Choice" space in Pique, which profiles those offerings every week.
"I think that Whistler has some of the most amazing and diverse cuisine you can find in a mountain community. You can get everything from Japanese to Italian to even new Canadian," said Huddle.
Whistler, she added, is home to some of the best chefs in the world, chefs that have had their training under top masters in international kitchens. They bring that rich experience with them to Whistler's dining rooms.
"They love this place as much as everybody else does and that's why they're here and they're happy and they're doing their dream job in a dream location."
Huddle, who also works at Sushi Village as the front-of-house manager, is excited that the restaurant is part of the cookbook, becoming a little piece of food-literary history.
"We're coming up on 30 years of being here in Whistler," she said. "We wanted to be a part of the cookbook because we're part of the fabric of dining out in Whistler. It's a very important part of Whistler and to be a part of that and having it showcased, I think, is incredibly important and we're incredibly proud to be a part of it."
Without giving too much away, the cookbook will feature the Oishi Caesar, a Japanese-inspired cocktail designed by Huddle herself. Oishi translates as "tasty" in Japanese.
That's just one of the sneak peaks in the book.
Caramba Chef James Pare, who came to Whistler by way of the Savoy Hotel in London where he was executive chef, is another. He provided his star anise cured salmon and white asparagus salad for the cookbook. This recipe was shared in the Pique one year ago but remains timeless in its taste.
The Picnic is just one of a solid lineup of events at Whistler's annual food and drink festival. This is Cornucopia's 19th year.
"What's really new and really exciting this year is The Picnic, presented by Cornucopia and Pique," said Kelly Hand, event director with Cornucopia. "That one makes me really happy. Our goal for The Picnic is that it stays for a long time and it becomes the place where Whistler really is celebrated. Cornucopia is a celebration of all of Whistler, but this is an event where the restaurants can all come and it's a local, community event."The Picnic: Chefs' Choice Cookbook Launch Party will take place on Thursday, Nov. 12 at the Whistler Conference Centre from 6 to 9 p.m. A number of featured chefs from the book will be on hand preparing recipes from the book. The chefs will also share some of the tips of the trade. Tickets cost $52 and include a copy of the Chefs' Choice Cookbook. Tickets are at the door or online at whistlercornucopia.com. You must be 19 years or older to attend the cookbook launch party.
- with files from Brandon BarrettStar anise cured salmon and white asparagus salad
1.5 lbs Fresh Atlantic Salmon (half fillet)
1.5 cups Anise curing mix
Anise Curing mix
Star anis 1 cup
Caraway 2 tbsp
Thyme 1.5 tbsp
Fennel seeds 1.5 tbsp
Bay leaf 1.5 tbsp
Black pepper corns 1.5 tbsp
Sugar 3/4 cup
Sea salt 1 cup
Start by blending all the herbs and spices in a food processer, then add your spice mixture to your salt and sugar mixture in a separate bowl and fold ingredients together. Ensure you do not blend the salt and sugar as this will break down the salt and ruin your curing mixture. In a large casserole dish with high sides of around 10cm, cover the bottom of this dish with half of your anise curing mixture, then place the cleaned fillet of salmon onto it and cover with the remaining curing mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and place a baking tray on top and some weight to press the fish overnight in your refrigerator. Next rotate your salmon to the other side and press for another night. On the third day rinse under cold water for 20-30 minutes then pat dry. Slice into 1/2cm slices and reserve in your fridge until assembly.
White asparagus salad
Star anis 1 cup
Caraway 2 tbsp
Thyme 1.5 tbsp
Fennel seeds 1.5 tbsp
Bay leaf 1.5 tbsp
Black pepper corns 1.5 tbsp
Sugar 3/4 cup
Sea salt 1 cup
Start by peeling the white asparagus from the bottom of the tip to the end of the stock. Place 3L of water in to a large boiling pot and place over medium heat add sugar and salt to taste and butter. Gently place the white asparagus in the warm water and gently poach until the asparagus is tender — you can check with the tip of your knife. If it slides in and out easily it's ready, if the asparagus breaks then it's overdone. Be careful to cool the asparagus down by placing it into the fridge in the liquid.
When chilled take the asparagus out of the stock and drain well. Use a tablespoon of the pouching liquid and some olive oil with a squeeze of lemon and season with salt and pepper.
Sweet mustard dressing recipe
Dijon mustard 1/2 cup
English mustard 6 tbsp
White wine vinegar 1/2 cup
Caster sugar 1 cup
Sunflower oil 1 cup
Place the mustard, vinegar and sugar in a bowl and whisk lightly, slowly pour in the oil, whisking at all times.
Final assembly
Pick and take the best leafs of the wild watercress and set aside. Lay your salmon in natural folds around three per plate. Cut the asparagus into quarters and place your asparagus in between the salmon around 8 pieces total per plate. Spread a little sweet mustard dressing around the plate with the tip of a small spoon. Repeat this for the next 3 dishes and garnish with dressed watercress leafs.

The Department of Infrastructure Cycling Unit posted on Facebook:
Improvements are on the way for cycling and public transport on the Albertbridge Road. The benefits, which are being delivered as part of the Belfast Rapid Transit works, include improvements to drainage, resurfacing of the road and footpaths, enhanced street lighting, and additional lengths of bus lane which, of course, can be used by cyclists. The works are due to start on Monday 29 August.
In order to deliver these benefits the works will necessitate the suspension of the section of existing cycle lane over the length of the works. We would ask cyclists to extra care for the duration of the works, which are due to be completed by summer 2017.
They decorate their announcement of the bus lane improvement on the Albertbridge Road with pictures of Belfast's best bits of cycling infrastructure: segregated cycleways and Belfast Bikes.
I questioned why cyclists are made to share with buses. Perceived lack of safety is a constant complaint from colleagues who don't cycle into work using the Lisburn Road's peak time bus lane.
Here's the BRT team response:
'Along the BRT routes we have endeavoured, where physically possible, to provide 12m carriageways (4 x 3m lanes) with 2.5m footways on either side. To provide dedicated cycle infrastructure on these corridors would require at least a further 3m of roadwidth, which is simply not available along much of the routes, including this section of the Albertbridge Road'.
The Cycling Unit adds:
From the Cycling Unit's perspective: we have been working on a draft Bicycle Network Plan for Belfast which we hope to consult on very soon.
We are striving to create separate cycling provision where possible over the next ten years, however, we see bus and cycle lanes as an interim measure until such routes are available.
It is a scandal major pieces of traffic infrastructure are given the go ahead without considering cyclists. The plans for Belfast Rapid Transit barely mentioned cycling and now it's being built across Belfast it is clear the routes are not made suitable for cycling. We have unforgiving high kerbs, especially at bus stops, and pinch points.
In the years since the BRT was consulted on, cycling in Belfast has changed dramatically: numbers have increased; there is the highly successful Belfast Bikes hire scheme.
But still the BRT continues as if it's ten years ago. It contains no plans for cycleways or infrastructure that will entice more people out on their bikes, even where space allows to construct these. People don't want to cycle with a bus right up their backside. It is intimidating, however well the driver is trained.
And is there no space as the BRT team assert? Like here on the Albertbridge Road, where ample space is afforded to parking:
The only lack of space for cycling is in the imagination of the Belfast Rapid Transit team. They obviously value storage of private vehicles on public roads more than moving people from A to B.

Over the Easter weekend, I began making an outfit that has been in my imagination for a while. I knew I wanted to create a coat and pants set from particular fabrics I already had in my stash. I've had some burnt orange cotton blend that I figured would be the perfect weight for an in-between season coat, and some white cotton duck that would be great for pants. It was just a matter of deciding on a top. The coat doesn't allow for the top to be seen, so I was happy to opt for a simple cotton knit tee that would be comfortable for the warmth of the Autumn days.
I have always been terrified of buttonholes as I am all to aware that they are the final step between a garment being complete and a garment being ruined. I was very brave, I feel, as I not only did one, but four buttonholes on the one garment! They all worked, they all lined up and they are all the right size! Phew!
The Empire Peacoat, Bootleg pants and cap sleeve t-shirt are all made to patterns found at www.pixiefaire.com

If I had a class of students, I would send the list of FREE SEED CATALOGS home so parents can order for rainy day reading. This is free education at it's best, in my humble opinion.
If we can inspire children (and adults) to learn about nutrition, biodiversity and self-sustaining agriculture, perhaps they will learn to make more intelligent food choices and promote healthier living. I have read many seed catalogs in their entirety. I believe and hope future generations will come to understand how wonderful growing our own organic food and saving seed truly is. My daugher Ava understood what a seed was long before her second birthday. It is never too early to give the gift of gardening to our babies.
Let us also teach our children what an heirloom vegetable is, how to save seeds, and which seeds can even be saved! Have fun. Grow something and happy harvesting!

HARTSELLE, Alabama - In what one volunteer described as a "almost a miracle" 50 local hospital beds avoided their landfill grave this morning and soared with new life to help save even more lives in a distant land.
The beds rolled out of the recently closed Hartselle Medical Center shortly after 8 onto a tractor-trailer, which will unload the beds onto a Panalpina cargo plane destined for a children's oncology hospital in Guatemala City.
"These beds have zero monetary value here, but in another country, it will be like brand new hospital beds that have never been open," said Nathaniel Richardson, chief financial officer and senior vice president of Decatur-Morgan Hospital.
To buy these 50 beds new today would cost more than $250,000, he said. Thanks to cooperation among Huntsville Rotary Club, Panalpina, Huntsville Hospital, which owns Decatur-Morgan and the closed Hartselle center, it will cost only $6,000 to send the beds to Guatemala.
The Rotarians raised the money to cover the shipping costs, which Panalpina agreed to do for nothing more than it costs them to make the 1,400-mile trip. Huntsville Hospital made the beds available, which included on Wednesday tearing down a bricked-up entrance to the center's shipping dock from which to load the beds.
"You could almost call it a miracle for the networking and cooperation that is here today," said Robert Mayes of the Huntsville Rotary Club. "It's a remarkable story of a bunch of people coming together."
The Rotary Club has partnered with the Guatemalan hospital for seven years and provided beds, ventilators, infusion pumps and other medical supplies. The hospital serves the entire Guatemalan nation, especially poor, rural families, for many of whom it takes a two-week journey to reach the hospital, Mayes said.
In addition to the children's hospital, about 10 beds will go to a state-run hospital next door, which Mayes said had even a greater need for new beds. Patients at the state hospital are put on rusty, worn out beds that resemble 1950s-era army cots, he said.
"You can't do this and not be touched by the whole scene," Mayes said.
Capella Healthcare shut down Hartselle Medical Center Jan. 1, then sold the building to Huntsville Hospital for $1.5 million.
Richardson said other furnishings from Hartselle Medical Center have already gone to local schools and nursing schools.
While the medical center will no longer offer in-patient care, Richardson said, they are working with local doctors to determine the facility's best use for out-patient care. They hope to make a decision within six months, he said.

Expungement & Deregistration
You may be eligible for expungement and deregistration services, please contact Emma Mclean-Riggs to determine if you qualify for our services: email@example.com
Expungement of juvenile delinquency records and getting off of the sex-offender registry are two very important post-adjudication issues that juvenile practitioners need to address. Both the expungement and de-registration statutes have automatic procedures in place which are designed to streamline and simplify these processes. The courts are required to automatically petition for expungement and de-registration in many circumstances.
The entire juvenile expungement statute was repealed and replaced effective November 1, 2017. The most important change in the expungement law is that expungement and the process to start it are automatic for many cases. The court is required to order expungement within forty-two days for all cases where the child is found not guilty, the case is dismissed, or the child completes a sentence for a petty offense, drug petty offense, class 2 or class 3 misdemeanor, or level 1 or level 2 drug misdemeanor as long as the offenses don't involve unlawful sexual behavior or domestic violence. In addition to this, the court is required to send notice of expungement ninety-one days prior to the completion of the sentence in the following cases: diversion, deferred adjudication, informal adjustment, all other class 1 misdemeanor offenses not eligible above, misdemeanor offenses for unlawful sexual contact, and all felony and drug felony offenses as long as they are not offenses for unlawful sexual behavior, a crime of violence, a class 1 or class 2 felony, and as long as the child did not have any prior felony adjudications.
Any juvenile who has his or her records expunged may lawfully assert that he or she has no juvenile delinquency record, and has never been arrested, charged, adjudicated, convicted, or sentenced in regard to the expunged case. See § C.R.S. 19-1-306 for more information.
Similarly, the de-registration statute has automatic procedures in place as well. A juvenile is eligible to de-register if he or she successfully completes a deferred adjudication (as long as there aren't any subsequent sex cases). In all deferred adjudication cases, the court is required to, on its own, send out notice of de-registration sixty-three days prior to the end of the deferred adjudication. A juvenile is also eligible to petition to de-register after successful completion of a sentence involving an adjudication. In these cases, the court is again required to, on its own, send notice of de-registration sixty-three days prior to the end of the sentence. The court is required to send these notices automatically and start the de-registration process on behalf of the juvenile automatically. Courts are supposed to consider de-registration upon the completion of a deferred adjudication or sentence. See § C.R.S. 16-22-113 for more information.

TV Ratings: Stanley Cup Finals Open Strong, Though Shy of Recent Records
The start of the Stanley Cup Finals pulled the second-biggest overnight ratings for a game one in NBC history -- though, if you're looking year-to-year, the hockey game was down a bit from last year's record-breaking kickoff.
Metered markets give the Los Angeles Kings-New York Rangers showdown a 3.8 rating among households. That's a a drop of more than 20 percent from last year. Still, the game was up considerably from the last time the Kings, Wednesday's overtime winners, had a stake. The 2012 game one featuring the Kings and the New Jersey Devils delivered only a 2.4 rating.
PHOTOS: The Best (And Worst) Hockey Movies
All initial ratings are subject to change, but as it stands, hockey viewership in Los Angeles was also up. The game took a 7.1 households rating in the nation's biggest market -- the third best ever for a hockey game in the town.
Adjustments will likely paint a slightly tweaked picture, but, as it stands, NBC leads the night with a 1.7 rating among adults 18-49.
Elsewhere, So You Think You Can Dance (1.5 adults) held steady with its premiere last week. The night's few other broadcast originals -- ABC's Motive (1.0 adults) and The CW's The 100 (0.6 adults) were also steady.

Started to enjoy wine in my early 20s at my parents home- simple reds along side pasta with red sauce. In grad school I was involved with a weekly gathering during which we listened to music. After about a year we added wine. Wine then became a real focus. We drank widely but soon developed a preference for red Burgundy. Years later I still drink fairly widely, I like good wine from anywhere but my taste tends towards the traditional. About 65% of my cellar is French. My favorite wines continue to be red Burgundies. I also have a real love for German riesling and strong interests in white Burgundy, Northern Rhone, Loire, Piedmont, Bordeaux, Alsace, Southern Rhone and Rioja as well as wines from California, Oregon and Washington (mainly reds- cabs, pinots, zins, rhone blends but there are a few chardonnays in the cellar). I am not snobby about scoring wine; I do not have an issue with numbers as I think they instantly help me remember how I was gauging a wine's quality, but scores have obvious limitations. Ultimately, it is all about enjoying the wine and each one is something unique and contextual. I drink wine regularly to enjoy with food rather than to "taste" in pursuit of some platonic form.
"When a wine's flavor is inherent, it is expressing something about its home. We needn't look for words for it. We only need to look on. Its home is layered; there's its particular place (Le Montrachet), its general place (the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy), its more general place (Central-Eastern Europe), and its final place (the earth itself), and a great wine writes a text of the entire world, radiating out from the specific to the general. This is where I live, and this is where we live. Perhaps you pause for a moment while the wine makes you more human. Because it does."
-- Terry Theise (with small adaptations of example and place- from Ian Halbert)


text: The suspension of the polls followed the assassination of police chief General Abdul Raziq in an attack claimed by Taliban [Ismail Sameem/Reuters] Kabul, Afghanistan - Parliamentary elections in southern Afghanistan's Kandahar province, due to be held on Saturday, will be delayed by a week following the assassination of a powerful provincial police commander, according to the electoral body and the president's spokesman. President Ashraf Ghani's spokesman Haroon Chakansuri said in a tweet that the decision was made following demands from residents of the province and recommendation from electoral officials. The suspension of the polls followed the assassination of Kandahar province's police chief General Abdul Raziq in an attack claimed by the Taliban. The southern province's intelligence chief, Abdul Mohmin, was also killed in the attack on Thursday. {articleGUID} Chakansuri said the new date for the polls will be announced later and did not give further details. Afghans in other provinces will be voting on Saturday to elect members of parliament in polls delayed repeatedly for the past three years. The interior ministry said they have put in place measures to ensure voting happens without incident. "The election is going according to plan. We have measures and we meet regularly. There will be no problem," Nasrat Rahimi, deputy spokesman for the interior ministry, told Al Jazeera. "Over 70,000 security forces are there to maintain security. They are on high alert," Rahimi said. The Taliban have called the vote "fake" and warned people against taking part in the election. The vote is seen as a major test of the government's ability to organise a peaceful, free and fair poll. Since campaigning started late last month, at least 10 candidates have been killed and two others abducted. More than eight million Afghans have registered to take in the poll - the third since the Taliban were removed from power in 2001. Polling stations will not open in at least a third of the country due to security concerns, the electoral commission told Al Jazeera. Taliban still control a third of the country. WATCH: Afghanistan's Shia lose hope the election will bring change (2:45) Meanwhile, in Kandahar, Abdul Raziq's funeral was held in Kherqa Mubarak - one of the holiest shrines in the city. Abdul Raziq - who survived several attempts on his life - was killed after a bodyguard opened fire after a meeting in the governor's compound. The top US commander in Afghanistan, General Scott Miller, who attended the meeting with Abdul Raziq only moments earlier, was not hurt in the attack. Three Americans were wounded. Abdul Raziq's father and uncle were both killed by the Taliban in 1994. SOURCE: Al Jazeera News Asia Afghanistan Taliban Elections

All's Swell In Makaha
Featured In This Story
More Four Seasons Stories
It's widely known that Oahu is home to legendary waves. Wave riders from across the globe descend upon the island each year in search of the perfect swell. There are well over 100 breaks across the island, and while surfers and spectators associate Oahu's fabled North Shore as the most celebrated stretch of surfing coastline in the world, the birthplace of surfing actually points to the western shore of Makaha.
Makaha, located a mere 12 miles (19 kilometres) from Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina along the island's western coast, is identified as the place of origin for big wave surfing. It is home to countless world-class surfing legends, such as revered Hawaiian, Richard "Buffalo" Kalolo'okalani Keaulana, who also was appointed as Makaha's first full-time lifeguard back in the 1950s. Other prominent surfers from the west side include Buffalo's sons Rusty Keaulana and big wave riders Brian Keaulana and Keone Downing; 1999 world tour champion Sunny Garcia; and power surfer Johnny-Boy Gomes, just to name a few.
Often referred to as the "Sport of Kings" in Hawaii, Mahaka was a favorite surf site for Hawaiian Ali'i (royalty) dating back to the pre-contact period. By 1779, it is said that surfing became an integral part of Hawaiian culture, becoming layered into the society and woven into the myths of the islands, just as baseball is in today's society. It was embraced by both chiefs and commoners. The Ali'i rode massive olo boards carved from wiliwili and koa trees, while everyone else surfed on shorter, thinner alaia boards.
Like countless generations before, surfing at Makaha has long been a place to refresh both the body and spirit. The picturesque coastline serves as a stunning backdrop for surfers while patiently waiting for the next set. Turquoise-blue waves are greeted by the dramatic contrast of golden-sand beaches and lava-framed lush valleys.
Meaning "fierce" in Hawaiian, Makaha features four main breaks: the Point, Bowl, Blowhole and the Inside Reef. Said to be Hawaii's most consistent waves, surfers are treated to epic swells year-round, ranging from 12 to 30 feet (4 to 9 metres). Therefore, ask any big wave surfer and they will confirm these storied waves are near perfect. In the mid-1950s, Makaha gained notoriety for big wave surfing for this very reason. The first annual Makaha International Surfing Championships was held in 1954 and continued into the following decade. It was the world's first televised surfing event on ABC's Wide World of Sports. The competition showcased the sport of surfing, but more importantly, it showcased Hawaii as an exotic destination. Shortly thereafter, the surf culture, which include transplants from California, migrated to the North Shore of Oahu in search of larger waves.
In 1977, "Buffalo" Keaulana founded the Buffalo Big Board Classic, which continues to this day as an annual community-inspired event. Surf enthusiasts are invited to charge Makaha's waves on any type of wave-riding vehicle – from body boards to long boards, and even canoe surfing is welcomed, all in the spirit of aloha.
Whether surfing Makaha, Diamond Head or the North Shore, grab a board and take a soulful journey to the sea. Catch a wave and experience what ancient Hawaiians unearthed centuries ago.

(-)-cyanthiwigin F total synthesis
6 July 2008 - Organic chemistry
The (-)-cyanthiwigin F
total synthesis
(Enquist, Stoltz 2008
) featuring a
double catalytic enantioselective transformation
made headlines this month. What is this process all about and what makes it so special?
The molecular target in any case did not warrant urgent synthetic synthesis: it is one of many known cyanthiwigins and part of an even larger class of cyathins. Millions of compounds display some kind of biological property that can potentially be used in medicine. The molecule is a fused tricyclic system with 4
s, two of which are
which makes synthesis tricky.
Here is how it was done. Step one is a
Dieckman condensation
(first inter- then intracondensation) of the di-
succinic acid
. The acidic protons in the 1,3-diketone groups can be replaced by a
group with
and a base. These reactions are not very
and intermediate 3 is a
mixture of
(R,R) and (S,S) and
In a traditional approach this reaction is a failure because the desired enantiomer (R,R) is contaminated by an equal part of (S,S) (the meso contamination can be dealt with). In this approach the researchers decided to forge ahead with the next step, a
decarboxylative allylation
on the mixture itself.
Surprisingly the reaction product 4 is a mixture of desired (R,R) and meso (R,S). What happens is that twice in this reaction a carboxylic ester group is replaced by an
enolate ion
, destroying a stereocenter (process called stereoablation). The outcome of the reaction (16 possible pathways) is then governed by the stereochemistry of the
BOX ligand
and the stereochemistry of the remaining stereocenter.
In the remainder of the reaction an olefinic side group is attached via a
Negishi coupling
to tetraene 5, the second generation
Hoveyda-Grubbs Catalyst
closes a 7-membered ring in 6 and at the same time functionalises the remaining alkene with a vinyl
boronic ester
. This product is then oxidized to
7 with
sodium perborate
. The final steps are a
radical addition
(of recent 2005 invention

addition that almost fails due to excessive reduction.
So are double enantioselective reactions are viable strategy in organic synthesis? It seems the stereochemical outcome of this particular reaction was one governed by chance rather than by design, so no need to get al excited.
Another aspect this reaction is new: it does away with

The message clearly is not to dispair when faced with ugly reaction mixtures or destroyed functional groups but simply go ahead and repair the damage along the way (also see previous post on

- Sleep Thermo W/ L-Carnitine
- GH & Hormone Optimizer
- Control Cortisol Levels
- Deep Relaxing REM Sleep
- 1 Capsule Dosing
- Powerful & Completely Safe!
Recovery is one of the most crucial aspects of progress in the gym. After all, you don't grow if you don't recover. A big part of recovery is sleep. How many of us really get 8 hours of sleep a night? How many of us really get deep, invigorating REM sleep? Statistics indicate only 20% of adults experience this level of sleep. REM sleep not only promotes recovery but also increases your metabolism – burn fat while you sleep!
What is REM Sleep?
There are 4 sleep stages, during the first 3 there is no chance in metabolic activity. The 4th stage is REM sleep. Research has shown that in this stage our body can use as much energy (glucose & calories) as it does when it's awake.
Stop and think – we put a lot of effort into our workouts, our eating plan and our supplement program but what about our sleep habits? The time we spend sleeping is the ideal time to burn fat and promote recovery!
REM-P.M. from MAN SPORTS- burn more fat, enjoy deeper sleep, recovery quicker and promote GH release with REM-P.M.! Gone are the days of taking several pills on an empty stomach hours before going to sleep! No more bad tasting powders! No more waking up groggy! Just one capsule per night – and you can take it with food.
Don't waste any more nights! Start using deep sleep to improve your progress!
The Advantages of REM-P.M.:
The purpose of REM-P.M.is to allow your time spent sleeping to be effective - burn more fat, recover more fully, elevate GH levels, and control catabolism.
Ingredient Profile:
The circadian rhythm is an internal 24-hour "clock" that helps regulate when we go to sleep and when we wake up. Melatonin is a hormone released in the brain that regulates the circadian rhythm as well as playing a role in controlling other hormones in the body. Your body naturally secretes greater amounts of melatonin during the night time hours; less during daylight. Your body's production can be affected by such things as exposure to bright lights at night.
Research indicates that melatonin supplements can promote improved sleep in people with naturally lower levels of melatonin and disrupted circadian rhythms.
L-Tryptophan Ethyl Ester
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that's known to promote deep sleep. The essential amino acid Tryptophan kelps promote serotonin release.
Valerian Extract (Valeriana Officinalis Root Extract)
Valerian is a commonly used natural sleep-aid, preferred over OTC sleep medications due to the fact it's more gentle than OTC meds, there's no lingering drowsiness. It's also a safer compound than OTC sleeping pills.
Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA)
Gamma Amino Butyric Acid, an amino acid, is classified as a neurotransmitter and is the most abundant inhibitory brain neurotransmitter. It promotes deep sleep and relaxation.GABA also helps promote GH release, which helps promote muscle growth and fat loss.
L-Carnitine is an amino acid that has a large part in the process of fat metabolism. It transports fatty acids to the mitochondria, where it is burned as fuel.
Green Tea (98% polyphenols, 50% EGCG)
EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant from Green Tea that's been shown to help burn fat and control hunger.
University of Chicago researchers at the Tang Center for Herbal Medicine Research discovered that supplementing EGCG resulted in test subjects losing as much as 21 percent of their body weight! Additionally they took in 60% fewer calories over a one week period!
This study was published in the March 2000 issue of Endocrinology, and indicated that Test Subjects taking two daily injections of EGCG for a period of 5 days experienced significant changes in the blood levels of several hormones, including leptin, which helps controls appetite.
Phosphatidyl-serine (PS) is a naturally occurring phospholipid that's well known to improve memory and relieve stress. More recently, it has been shown to, help block cortisol, improve recovery times, reduce soreness and give the user an enhanced sense of well-being.
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)
5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring element that helps control levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Research studies indicate that 5- HTP can help promote relaxation and may play a role in fat reduction.
L-Alpha-Glycerlphorcholine (GPC)
L-alpha glycerylphosphoryl-choline (GPC), is a form of phosphatidylcholine, and increases levels of acetylcholine. Research indicates that this version of choline can slow the mental decline seen as part of the aging process.
Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo Biloba has been used for hundreds of years in Chinese medicine as a memory enhancer. In fact, Ginkgo is widely used for this reason. New research also indicates that ginkgo increases blood circulation.

I wanted to show these cake pops because I thought these were a good example of how some of my ideas fall into place.
Remember these little beauties?
They actually started out like this:
When asked to do the fairy garden theme for D and M's 4th birthday party, I wanted to come up with a couple of ideas that their mom could choose from. The flowers in the back I had seen on Bakerella before and thought they would fit in perfectly for a garden themed party. Flowers. Garden. They just go together.
I also wanted to do a couple of different color combos to see what they looked like. The butterfly mold had dragonflies on it, so I made some of those to have even more variety.
While M, D, and their mom loved all the options, it was apparent that butterflies were definitely the strongest theme of the party, so it made sense to go with all butterflies in the party's colors. Either way, it was fun coming up with all these different pop!

My Brilliant Lena - Kids Yoga
Last Sunday was a tearful goodbye to my lovely Lena. Lena has been working on Yoga with me through Yogi Beans for quite a while now. Her warm spirit, enthusiasm, genuine kindness to fellow classmates and love for yoga has inspired my personal practice. From the time I met Lena, she has always had a way of saying the most profound wise statements. Even her observations of her surroundings have always been wise beyond her years. Every week, I watched as she would dive into yoga poses with ease and joy. While I have enjoyed working with this wonder kid, due to scheduling, she is now in another class. I know that she will be awe inspiring to her new group, and I can only hope that we will practice yoga together again in the future. It is amazing how we build bonds within a yoga class. At the end of class, Lena wiped away tears and said she wished she could stay in my class, I was moved deeply and wish the same, but understand that sometimes we have to make adjustments for scheduling purposes. In the words of Lena, "I will treasure my yoga classes with her forever". ~ Peace & hugs, Ambria

|Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
|Teams managed

|Brazil (technical director)
Carlos Alberto Gomes Parreira (born 27 February 1943, in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian former football manager. He managed Brazil to victory at the 1994 World Cup, the 2004 Copa América, and the 2005 Confederations Cup. He was last manager of the South Africa national football team.
Coaching career
Parreira supports Fluminense, and he has won two league titles for the club: The First Division Brazilian Championship in 1984 and the Third Division in 1999. About the latter title, Parreira has said that this was personally the most important trophy of his career, even more so than Brazil's World Cup triumph, as the club he loved was facing near-bankruptcy and became very close to extinction at the time[citation needed].
Parreira is one of two coaches that has led five national teams to the World Cup: Kuwait in 1982, United Arab Emirates in 1990, Brazil in 1994 and 2006, Saudi Arabia in 1998 and South Africa in 2010. The other coach, Bora Milutinović, reached this record when he led a fifth team in 2002. Parreira was also involved with the 1970 championship team for Brazil, which he claims was an inspiration for him to aspire to be a national football coach.
In 1997, Parreira coached the MetroStars of the American Major League Soccer. He also coached Fenerbahçe in Turkey and won a Turkish League Championship. Parreira was in charge of Corinthians in 2002, which gave him two of the most important national trophies of 2002: The Brazilian Cup and the Torneio Rio-São Paulo, besides being runner up at the Brazilian League.
When coaching Saudi Arabia at the 1998 World Cup in France, he was fired after two matches, one of two managers to be sacked during the tournament.
Parreira repeatedly turned down offers to coach Brazil again between 1998 and 2002 World Cups. In end of 2000, when the team was in turmoil after firing Vanderlei Luxemburgo, he refused the post, stating that he did not want to relive the stress and pressure of winning the World Cup again. There were public cries again to replace Luiz Felipe Scolari for Parreira in July 2001 when Brazil lost two matches to Mexico and Honduras in its title defense at the 2001 Copa America in Colombia, especially after last minute invitee (replacing Argentina who dropped out one day before the kickoff) Honduras defeated 2–0 and eliminated the favorite Brazil in quarter finals round on July 23, 2001. Parreira only stated that he would indirectly assist Scolari in the 2002 campaign. After the 2002 World Cup, Parreira took part in drafting a technical report of the tournament. He was named coach along with Mario Zagallo as assistant director in January 2003, with the goal of defending their World Cup title in Germany 2006, but on July 1, 2006 Brazil was defeated and eliminated 0–1 by France in the quarterfinals.
After Brazil's exit from the World Cup, Parreira was heavily criticized by the Brazilian public and media for playing an outdated brand of football and not using the players available to him properly. Parreira subsequently resigned on July 19, 2006. He coached Brazil to victory in the 1994 FIFA World Cup and was the coach of the South Africa national football team[1] until resigning in April 2008.[2] On October 22, 2009 it was announced he would return as head coach of South Africa. He announced a verbal agreement with the South African Football Association on October 23, 2009.[3]
He resumed coaching South Africa in 2009 in time for the 2010 World Cup. In South Africa, his team drew with Mexico, 1–1, in the tournament opener, lost to Uruguay, 3–0, and beat France, 2–1, to finish third in Group A. After the France game, he tried to shake hands with French coach Raymond Domenech but the latter refused.[4]
On 25 June 2010 he announced his retirement as football coach.[5]

The summer weather in Northern Colorado is impeccable. The bright sun and blue skies are an inviting sign from Mother Nature to get outside and enjoy the summer! But wait. You work a 9:00-5:00 with practically every hour filled with meetings.

Fireside Cafe offers many lunch catering options suitable for a picnic meeting in the park. Whether you want a sandwich or a wrap, the bagged lunch combos come with a beverage and a fresh baked cookie to tide over your sweet tooth.
The Fireside Bagged Lunch
The lunches include a variety of typical deli-style meats (vegetarian red pepper hummus is an option too!) with delicious cheeses served with the classic lettuce and tomato to top it off. These sandwiches are placed between an assortment of two slices of fresh baked bread. To round out the food pyramid, Fireside Cafe throws in an apple and chips for the best picnic lunch. These are $10.75 per person and can be delivered to your outdoor meeting location or picked up from our restaurant in Loveland.
It's A Wrap Bagged Lunch

Wale Gives Hampton University Student $25,000 Scholarship
Rapper Wale's new album is called 'The Gifted,' and like the title, the DMV rhymer presented a Hampton University with a huge financial "gift."
Lauren Pryor, a second year Psychology student, won the Wale "The Gifted" Scholarship after being the 25th caller and winner on Norfolk, Va. hip-hop station 103 JAMZ.
"I was on my way to a friend's home in Hampton," recalls Pryor on winning the scholarship (via Hampton University News). "I called four or five times. The line was always busy. On about the 14th call I told myself to give it a rest. I was taking the phone from my face and had my thumb on the 'end' button when I heard a man say, 'hello.' I didn't believe it. He told me there were millions of calls and he only picked up the phone 14 times nationwide."
Along with the scholarship, Pryor spent a fun-filled two days last June in New York. Wale also presented the college student with the scholarship at his album release party and concert for his latest album, 'The Gifted.'
"Winning this scholarship was truly a blessing," she said. "Almost not returning to Hampton University in the fall because of expenses, I was exceedingly fortunate to receive this scholarship. It was truly a test of faith."
Props to Wale for awarding a college student a $25,000 scholarship. It's a helluva gift.

EW Lands Season 4 Scoop; New York, USA Today Anticipate Season Premiere
This week's announcement of the Season 4 premiere date and the release of a trailer touches off a wave of enthusiasm from a multitude of publications, while Entertainment Weekly goes straight to Vince Gilligan, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul to get information on what's going to happen in the new season.
• Entertainment Weekly has the inside scoop on Breaking Bad Season 4 from Vince Gilligan, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. Says Gilligan, "Much of Season 4 is Walt's effort to get out from under and overcome in a very dangerous battle of wills." The magazine also has afeature on the "Summer's Most Addictive Show" where Gilligan shares, "In some sense, season 4 is a Frankenstein story, in which the scientist becomes afraid of his creation." (No Link)
• News of the Season 4 premiere prompts New York magazine to wax poetic about Breaking Bad's "thrilling sense of impending doom that gets magnified and distorted through images and imagery of reflection." USA Today's preview calls Breaking Bad a "searing study of desperation."
• The Daily Beast's summer TV preview asks about Breaking Bad, "What new dangers will the latest season contain for Walter White?"
• To Collider.com, Bryan Cranston says of Walt in Season 4, "he needs to truly embrace who he is and what he is capable of in order to survive." Cranston also has a spoiler and previews the new season to MovieWeb and talks to UGO about Walt's war with Gus.
• HitFix states unequivocally about Breaking Bad, "The best drama on TV can't get back soon enough for my money." TheWrap calls Breaking Bad "yet another AMC series with which we are obsessed." /film thinks, "in terms of pure tension and impossible situations, there's nothing like [Breaking Bad] on TV."
• The Star-Telegram is "antsy in our anticipation" of Breaking Bad Season 4. IGN "can't freaking wait" for Breaking Bad, enthusing, "we're just psyched to have Walter White and Jesse Pinkman back, even though we're terrified to see what might happen next for them."
• Buzzfocus declares of the return of Breaking Bad, "The summer television season is almost here." Collider.com advises, "It's time for fans of AMC's Breaking Bad to get out their calendars." The Detroit News predicts, "Walt (Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston) is going to be so big and bad in season four. You'll see."
• Guillermo del Toro tell the UK's Independent he is a fan of Breaking Bad: "I love the hard-wired Walter White character… I find it fascinating to watch how incredibly regimented a life can be when a character starts to think his days are over, and he decides to change everything out of a sheer impulse."
• In its review of Drive, Las Vegas Weekly mentions that Bryan Cranston does "terrific work."
• The A.V. Club says Seinfeld's Tim Whatley was "played by the wonderful Bryan Cranston… I think even after years of Malcolm in the Middle it was one of Cranston's best-known roles (now we're all terrified of him because of Breaking Bad, of course)."
• IndyStar reports that Dean Norris took a few laps with Mario Andretti last weekend at the Indy 500, calling the experience "unbelievable."
• The New York Times reports that Krysten Ritter (Jane) will appear this summer on the New York stage in Zach Braff's play All New People.Read More

29 August 2018
Looks like we kind of disrupted our market a bit.
A few months ago, we were totally f***ed up in Southaven. I wish I could say that we experienced an interesting management "problem" or faced a "challenge." But in reality, we were simply screwed. Totally.
Southaven is a suburb of Memphis, Tennessee (and the location of our second American pizza shop). It's one of the poorest American cities. Compared to Southaven, Oxford in Mississippi (where we opened our first American pizzeria) looks like heaven.
So I didn't expect to find myself in such a bad situation: I couldn't find enough members of the team to keep our pizza shop up and running. Even when by some miracle I managed to find somebody, they would leave after a few days. Just because they were offered 25 cents more an hour some other place.
Nobody cared about our mission, awesome product, or superb service. It was simply a question of money they could make an hour. And it's worth mentioning that on average, we were paying as much as anybody else.
I would come to work knowing for sure that the general manager would come. Whether anybody else would show up was the big question.Read more

No Denying it, being a parent of a kid on the spectrum is hard. Put Cancer on top of that, and well, its' harder. That cancer, out of remission and spreading for the third time...Non-verbal child who needs care 24/7 and well, that's what nightmares are made of in the autism world.
Right now this is Melanie's world. Her Thinking Mom's Revolution name is "Booty Kicker" and I am sure that what she is doing right now... giving cancer a run for it's money.
Please join us in supporting her family in their time of need. We know Melanie has so much faith, love and healing energy behind her. Please say a prayer for her and her family now too, see her happy and healthy and caring for her amazing son.
We are all cheering you on Melanie sending you love and light and healing!!
