Deciding to coach the ultimate team sport has been one of the best decisions Rachel Benders made in her life.
Growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, Benders had an ongoing curiosity about rowing but never really had the chance to give it a try until her freshman year of college.
When searching for a college, Benders' priority was finding one with a rowing team. She ended up attending Washington College in Chestertown Maryland, where she majored in economics and rowed for the first time.
Shifting her interests from theater to rowing, along with transitioning from high school to college, gave Benders the feeling of being a true beginner at something for a second time.
"It made me feel the excitement of learning something new all over again," said Benders.
Although Benders started rowing when she 18, she still managed to excel at the sport. Learning a whole new set of skills and using completely different muscles was a challenge that she enjoyed. After only one year in the program, Benders became a captain of her rowing team for the following three years. Her senior year was one of the best years the program ever had as they won their conference and went to nationals. She was also named MVP that year.
"Just being part of the team was one of the most important things I've ever done in my life," said Benders.
Midway through her senior year, Benders wasn't quite sure what she wanted to do after college. This continued until her rowing coach recommended she consider coaching as a job, since she was so good at it.
"I thought the opportunity at NSU was alluring because NSU had just won the national championship at the time, but I was still reluctant because Florida was so far from home," said Benders.
But a week later, Benders packed her belongings and moved to Florida to become the graduate assistant for the rowing program at NSU.
"I didn't feel that this job was a change of plans for me because I really had no plan; I knew that I needed additional schooling after my bachelor's, and this job was perfect to go along with that," she said.
Benders' love for the water is clear; her main childhood sport was swimming, and her first experience with coaching was teaching children to swim.
"I do not remember how I learned to swim, so it was a little challenging for me teaching 4-year-olds how to swim," said Benders.
To Benders, the true meaning of coaching goes beyond guidance.
"Athletes are always doing things right because they're doing it exactly how you, as the coach, are telling them to do it," she said. "Sometimes, it's up to the coach to adjust how they're doing it because small implications do make a difference."
In every sport, the athletes work with their team in a different way, but it's the synchronization that makes rowing so unique, said Benders.
"It relies heavily on synchronized motion. Just the fact that you have to do it exactly as the people ahead of you and the people behind you are in order to move that boat is intriguing," she said. "Although it's a challenge to think that you don't have a star player, everyone works just as hard, and it's their team work that makes us win."
In rowing, athletes not only train with each other as a team but also train against their team members to maintain the competitiveness. For Benders, this creates the nice balance between competition and hard work.
"We don't have ball hogs; it's all about teamwork and competitiveness. You learn so much about yourself. I like to say that we're, literally, on the same boat," said Benders.
Benders' relationship with her athletes is built on communication; the fact that she graduated only two years ago makes her job that much easier.
"I feel like they can come to me for anything and not just the sport," Benders said. "I prioritize professionalism, but at the same time, I'm unapologetically me, and I'm not ashamed of the things I like; I think they like that about me."
After two years of coaching, Benders realized that there's so much more to learn.
"People usually laugh at the phrase, 'You don't know what you don't know,' but it's absolutely true," said Benders.
One piece of advice that Benders carries with her is one that her former coach gave her: "They don't know that you don't know."
"It might sound dishonest, but it helps me as a beginner coach, and this way, they can trust me because I'll always work twice as hard to find the answers to their questions," said Benders.
The future remains unclear for Benders as she's not certain what the next step in her career will be. The ideal career for her would combine increasing access to rowing, promoting diversity, helping minorities continue their education beyond high school and marketing. Whatever it is, she is certain that her current job is preparing her for it; her experiences are building on each other.
"[What] I want to do probably won't be the next job I have; I probably don't realize that it exists. It's out there; I just don't know what it's called, and I'm not prepared for it because I need these experiences," said Benders.
Being part of a sport means committing to something and not feeling that it's depriving you from anything else, but motivation is still needed.
"Going fast motivates me, and I try to use consistent, daily goals for improvement to motivate the athletes, but it can be a challenge because everyone is different," said Benders.
Benders believes that one shouldn't do something that's not fulfilling. She also doesn't believe in luck ― we make our own luck by working hard.
"All the hard work we put in is worth it in the end. None of the pain and soreness matter; even when we lose, we take into account those 10 or so seconds when we were winning," said Benders.

This was one very good article that was also published in the Investigate Magazine. I suggest that if you'd like some fresh insights on this for New Zealand so relevant subject: divorce and the Bible.
"Christ's response, in this context, is a rejection of the liberal reading in favour of the conservative one. In fact, Brewer notes the very phraseology and wording Christ used was the same as that used by the Shammaites; however, his claim "whoever divorces his wife, except for adultery, and marries another woman commits adultery" took the conservative reading one step further. Not only are liberal "any reason" divorces wrong but they are invalid. People who have divorced on the "any reason" ground did not gain a legitimate divorce.
Brewer's analysis is the best I have come across to date; it makes sense of the text without requiring the reader to turn a blind eye to the bits that don't seem to sit right. His argument further explains the apparent differences between Mark, Matthew and Paul. Mark's gospel is significantly more summarised than Matthew's, hence his unqualified claim that divorce is forbidden is simply a summary without qualification. Similarly, Paul's application in 1 Corinthians is not in any real conflict with Jesus'. Taken in its context, Jesus was not condemning a person who, after being abandoned, walked away from the marriage and remarried. Material and physical neglect as a ground of divorce was not in question. In Jesus' teaching he was simply rejecting the "any reason" approach of the liberal school.
This background to Paul's writing is strongly suggested by the fact that in the same passage he refers to sexual activity between spouses as a 'debt' mutually owed to each other. Brewer notes that Paul's language and teaching here reflects rabbinical understandings of Exodus 21, which allowed divorce for failure to provide "conjugal rights". Paul is therefore not adding to Christ's teaching, he is simply applying it to a different situation."

Composers throughout the ages have been inspired by the saga of Joan of Arc, the teenage warrior who led French forces to victory in the Siege of Orléans. The list of music tributes begins with anonymous medieval-era works, hits a plateau in the 19th century (with operas by Pacini, Balfe, Verdi, Duprez and Tchaikovsky) and continues on to the present day.
Amy Beth Kirsten's Savior, which will receive its world premiere in a MusicNOW concert April 2 at the Harris Theater, becomes the latest in a long line of musical and cinematic treatments based on the Maid of Orleans. Here are some of its predecessors:
Giuseppe Verdi, the opera Giovanna d'Arco (1845):
Written during the composer's so-called galley years, the opera never received much respect, either in Verdi's lifetime or decades later. The Metropolitan Opera has yet to stage Giovanna d'Arco, although it has been seen in concert versions in New York City and elsewhere on the East Coast. Of a 1985 concert version by the Orchestra of St. Luke's and the New York Choral Artists (boasting a stellar cast of Margaret Price, Carlo Bergonzi and Sherrill Milnes), New York Times critic Donal Henahan dismissed the opera as "[Verdi's] dramatically naive and musically crude version of the Joan of Arc story." Chicago Opera Theater staged the city's first-ever production in its 2013 season.
Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, opera The Maid of Orleans (1878-79):
Regarded by musicologists as the composer's closest approximation to French grand opera (including a second-act ballet), the work had its world premiere in 1881 at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. It's rarely staged outside Russia, and has never had a full production at the Metropolitan Opera, arguably the world's leading house.
Arthur Honegger, Jeanne d'Arc au Bûcher (1938):
Described as an oratorio with operatic interludes, the work depicts Joan's last moments on the pyre, with flashbacks to her childhood, military campaigns and trial. Set to a text by Paul Claudel, Jeanne d'Arc au Bûcher (Joan at the Stake) ends as Joan's judges are accused of heresy. The role of Joan, a spoken-word part, has been notably performed by French actress Marion Cotillard (Oscar winner for the 2007 film "La vie en rose") in 2005, 2012 and 2015.
Leonard Bernstein, Choruses from The Lark (1955):
The esteemed American composer-conductor, whose centennial is being celebrated worldwide in 2018, wrote incidental music for an English translation of Jean Anouilh's 1952 play, which depicts the trial and execution of Joan of Arc. The English adaptation, penned by American novelist Lillian Hellman, received an all-star Broadway production, with Julie Harris (as Joan), Boris Karloff, Christopher Plummer and Theodore Bikel. Harris and Karloff received Tony nominations, with Harris winning best dramatic actress honors.
Richard Einhorn, Voices of Light (1994):
Inspired by Carl Theodor Dreyer's silent film "The Passion of Joan of Arc" (1928), it's frequently presented alongside screenings of the film; Einhorn's work uses sacred texts as well as texts by various medieval mystics, including Hildegard of Bingen. Memorably staged by Performing Arts Chicago at the Medinah Temple (now a Bloomingdale's) in 1997.
"Joan the Woman" (1916):
Director Cecil B. de Mille updates the Joan of Arc legend to World War I as an English officer sees a vision of Joan (opera superstar Geraldine Ferrar) on the eve of a dangerous mission. Once thought to be lost, a version was pieced together and has been released on DVD.
"The Passion of Joan of Arc" (1928):
Universally regarded as one of the greatest movies of all time (and the best cinematic depiction of St. Joan), Carl Theodor Dreyer's silent film has influenced generations of filmmakers. Shot mostly in close up, the film had Rudolph Maté (a future film noir specialist) as its director of photography, delivering high-contrast cinematography that emphasized realism above all.
"Joan of Arc" (1948):
For her second go-round as the Maid of Orleans, Ingrid Bergman put up her own money to help finance a Technicolor version of Maxwell Anderson's play (Anderson co-wrote the script with Andrew Solt). Victor Fleming, best known for "Gone With the Wind" (1939), directed the RKO production, which brought Bergman a best actress nomination for her performance.
"Saint Joan" (1957):
Autocratic director Otto Preminger launched the career of then 17-year-old Jean Seberg, after choosing her from an audition pool of 18,000 hopefuls. Graham Greene adapted the screenplay based on George Bernard Shaw's drama.
"The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc" (1999):
French writer-director Luc Besson cast his young wife, Ukrainian model-actress Milla Jovovich, as Joan, and she divorced him shortly after the film's release.

Seriously, I'm sitting here in my living room CRYING the day before my birthday because some people just don't get it. Back story: My parents are divorced. They don't really talk. They don't get along. It's been over 15 years.
A few minutes ago, my mom calls me to tell me she ran into my dad at the grocery store and she thinks she said something she wasn't supposed to. Great...Somehow they got started talking about me and the "baby situation." One of them said, "What do you think about A?" and the other said, "I wish she'd have a baby." This was said really for me, not because of grandparent status.
Dad: I wish she'd just calm down and something would happen.
Mom: Well, um...based off the percentages they've told me, I don't think they'll be able to naturally have a baby.
Dad looks at her like she doesn't know what she's talking about.
Mom: Well, hopefully something will happen this summer.
Dad: Summer?
Mom: Yes, that's when they're trying again.
So now my mother told my dad something that's not true and he's probably upset with me. I have told BOTH of them as well as everyone else, that we'll be trying something in the fall...not summer.
It also frustrates me that my dad thinks I should just "stay calm and something would happen." I don't know how many ways to get through to him and my in-laws that I WILL NOT BE GETTING PREGNANT NATURALLY IN THIS LIFETIME!!! Let go of the hope, stop telling me to stay calm and pray about it-IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, not that way!
Now I have a headache and tears streaming down my face, I can't get ahold of DH, I called and vented to my sister who was in the middle of Old Navy so she couldn't do much and the dogs are driving me bananas barking outside. Proof again that one phone call can change your mood.

:( I'm sorry this hit you so hard. People who haven't struggled with IF just don't get it... and some will work to try to and work to be compassionate (like your Mom), and some just will really never get it (like your Dad).
Don't let his ignorance make you feel bad. You KNOW that you are doing everything you can to be a Mom. It will happen for you hon - and we all know it won't be b/c you relaxed. :P
Hang in there. ((HUGS))

I'm so sorry sweetie. It is so hard when people so close to you just don't get it. It makes me sad that you dad thinks relaxing will make it happen. Keep your chin up and know that you are doing what you need to do.

I'm so sorry, girl. :(
Not the play the devil's advocate here, but it's really hard for people who haven't been through or understand IF to know the right things to say. They truly believe you just need to calm down and you will *magically* get pregnant. It's not right, but somehow this is what society has made those not going through IF believe. I've been around a LOT of IF ladies, and these used to be the only types of blogs I would read so I guess I have a better understanding, somewhat. Not to say I know at all what you're going through.
Anyway, you can always vent to me in an e-mail if need be! I'm always here for a listening ear. :)

I'm so sorry! I will say that stress doesn't help but when you know your issue goes beyond "natural means" the phrase "calm down & it will just happen" is very frustrating. No one understands it unless you had to work at having a baby. I'm here if you ever need to vent. You can just send me e-mails (as long as you want them to be!). I wish I could just hop on a plane & give you a big HUG!!!

An experimental, �clean� coal-fired power plant that was sought by Ohio and six other states might be scrapped because of its rising construction costs.
The power plant, called FutureGen, was supposed to test methods to trap carbon dioxide, which is blamed for global warming. The plant's price nearly doubled in five years from $950 million to $1.8 billion.
Department of Energy officials, who were supposed to pay 74 percent of the plant's cost, reportedly told federal lawmakers yesterday that they were dropping their support for FutureGen.
Mike Mudd, a former American Electric Power executive and president of a group of power and coal companies that would have built the plant, said he doesn't know for sure that the project's been canceled.
�We haven't formally heard anything,� Mudd said. �We still plan to keep this project on track.�
It was a little more than a month ago that power and coal companies named Mattoon, Ill., as the winner of the plant.
Construction was supposed to start in 2010, and it was supposed to begin operating in 2013.
Ohio had offered two sites for FutureGen in 2006 but lost out to Texas and the eventual winner, Illinois.
Ohio paid a consultant $546,000 to help put together its bid. It spent $2million drilling a deep well to test whether carbon dioxide could be injected into the ground in the state.
The state also offered $31.4 million in grants and a financing plan officials said would have saved FutureGen as much as $164 million in interest.
�The Ohio taxpayer is certainly better off� for having lost FutureGen, said Jerry Taylor, an energy policy analyst with the Cato Institute, based in Washington, D.C. �Why is the taxpayer supposed to pay for this, as opposed to the power companies?�
Columbus-based AEP, 12 other power and coal companies, and the U.S. Department of Energy were behind the project.
The FutureGen partnership appeared to fall apart in December shortly after Mattoon was named the winner. Federal officials said the proposed plant's rising construction costs would require �a reassessment of FutureGen's design.�
On Thursday, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich asked governors in coal-producing states to lend their support to keep the plant on track.
FutureGen's plight has some Ohio officials shaking their heads over the time and money they spent trying to win the plant.
�We put in, literally, months of work getting our submission together,� said Perry Varnadoe, economic development director for Meigs County, which offered a 460-acre site along the Ohio River.
The delay was a big letdown for Mattoon residents, who held a party when the town was named the winner. Mayor David Cline said last week that he still held out hope the plant would be built.
�You always want it to be a sure thing,� Cline said. �Like any project, until they actually start building, you're never sure.�

Many are aware by now that Starbucks this year has decided to remove "symbols of the season" to "usher in the holidays with a purity of design that welcomes all of our stories" (as the company's vice president has stated). It is stirring up a lot of controversy, with many Christians quite upset, calling it a "war" on Christmas, even to the point that Donald Trump suggested the company should be boycotted.
I've got three things to say—to Starbucks, to Christians, and on behalf of Christians—and although many may not agree, here's my take: Continue reading

In today's roundup of midsummer bummers: Fontainebleau black widow Narcy Novack is connected with yet another murder plot, a Miami Beach hotel ruins a couple's wedding but offers to hold the ceremony in a sandwich shop, the Founding Fathers shed tears of joy over the return of a very patriotic entrepreneur's van, and feline AIDS is still a big problem.
Narcy Novack keeps getting accused of killing people. First she was accused of killing her rich husband, Ben Novack Jr., of the legendary Fontainebleau Hotel Novacks. Then she was connected to the death of her mother-in-law.
Now feds have accused her of trying to orchestrate another killing, this time of a witness in the case. Ay dios mio, Narcy, you can't just go around killing or trying to kill people all the time. You especially can't go around killing people to hide your previous killings. What happens if the killing of the witness created more witnesses? Would you kill them all too? Then you'd just have more witnesses! It's really a pointless game, Narcy.
Of course, Narcy pleaded not guilty to the charges related to her husband's death. Prosecutors alleged she let two men into her hotel room, watched them beat him with dumbbells, and ordered them to cut out his eyes. What leads someone to do something like that? Oh, right, she could have inherited $10 million. [JustNews | CBS4]

Nadine: We're standing in a Reservoir backyard, in what used to be a mechanic's workshop. My studio is one half of the garage; on the other side of the wall is Robert Bridgewater's studio.
I used to have a studio on Smith Street in Fitzroy, which I started with Damiano Bertoli, Ricky Swallow and Raafat Ishak. It's still running today. But after more than 15 years, I moved to Reservoir and needed somewhere closer to home.
It couldn't be more different, but I'm embracing the difference, I love the difference. Back in Fitzroy, it was a very collegiate atmosphere with lots of exchange, lots going on, people dropping in all the time. It was a space for sharing and workshopping ideas.
Here you don't get that traffic. I do invite peers to come and talk about my work at different points in its development, but it's a much quieter, more solitary, focused practice. There's absolutely no interruption, no one passing through, no distraction just outside the door. It's a really different way of working but it suits me at this moment in my life and my practice.
When I moved in, I painted the brick walls white and put up more fluorescents so I could work at night.
During the day, though, the skylights are fabulous. If it's cold outside, you can close down and batten the hatches but still have all that natural light filtering in.
My partner James Lynch, who's also an artist, and I keep our archive in the mezzanine for all the catalogues, documentation and ephemera around exhibitions that we have been involved in. I also brought in plan drawers, where I store my old works on paper, and there's plenty of room for source material like books, objects and found imagery. In the past, everything has been dispersed around various other locations, but now I've been able to bring it all together. It's great to have everything at arm's length and to remind myself of trains of thought that resonate in past work and into future work.
My time in the studio varies according to what's required. I have children and drop them off at school in the morning, so that determines what time I can start. The day itself is interrupting by my teaching schedule. So I whittle away time according to other commitments in my life. There's no absolute routine. I come in here at night a lot, often between 7 or 8pm and 10 or 11pm. But I also stop by in the middle of the day, too, so I can take advantage of all the light.
Not everything takes place in the studio – it's more like a home base. Sometimes I need to do research outside of the studio, whether it's at a library or a particular site or even just in the course of a conversation that enables me to draw ideas together. Some of the research, however, I can do here – that is, testing and developing compositions through experimentation.
There's always a production phase at some point when there's a deadline looming and there's no more time to do any more investigations: it's just time to produce the work. But there's a caveat on that because the investigation continues through the production too. I can bring as much material and information together for that production period but when I'm in the midst of that unexpected things happen and changes are made. Sometimes the changes are about finessing and tweaking and adjusting and sometimes you reach a dead end within the painting or you realise that the way you've thought about the painting hasn't translated to the way the making of the painting is happening so a radical change is required.
I didn't think that painting would endure in my practice in the way that it has. When I left art school, I thought it would play some role, a minor role, and then peter out. But it has endured and not because I've pushed it to the front – it's just presented itself as an absolutely thrilling and often overwhelming challenge to me, so much so that it's persisted as something that I want to explore.

Welcome to Hodge-Podge III!
This mod has no theme, however its goal is to improve Minecraft gameplay by adding tons of different adventures, mobs and side-quests as well as providing a lot of new decorative blocks to have more options when building.
Unlike RaolCraft, which is an extremely lategame mod (while there are a lot of things in earlygame, you can't go to any of its dimensions before beating the Enderdragon), this mod will actually focus more on midgame, so you can explore the new features since the first days of your wold :)
This is the remake of Eonaut's original mod.
See Hodge-Podge III on curseforge!
Walking Geysers, Werewolves, Wither Bone Meal, Wither Blade and many more new features are waiting for you!
I know every feature I listed here starts with a W, but I only realized it after writing the list XD
To get started with this mod, you should find the Golden Temple, an uncommon structure that spawns in the surface of the Overworld (it won't be too hard to spot it). There you can get the igniter for the first dimension, the DarkWorld.
Yes, I know it generated in a weird way, but that was not meant to happen. It should have been mostly buried underground actually...
You can now go to the DarkWorld:
Here you can find a tower where an NPC lives, the Collector:
He likes to collect rarities, and if you give him some, he will reward you with some special items! He also gives you advices on where to find the items he wants!
Here are the other dimensions you can find in the mod right now:
The Wonderland
The Wastes
These dimensions can all be accessed very early (right after the Nether) and the items you can get from exploring them include:
Arcane Bricks, some very special blocks that can be placed unlimited times and be broken almost instantly (without dropping anything - like creative mode!)
Aurora Helmet, an armor piece which turns you into a walking light source (haven't tested it with armorstands yet but it probably works)!
Potions of Lava Traversing which let you walk on lava like a Frost Walker enchantment!
Silver Apples which grant no food points but regenerate all your health (but have a cooldown)!
And much more!
This mod also adds many new features to the Overworld, including:
a new ore (Silver)
a few new structures (like the Golden Temple, the Snow Temple and the Mystical Fountain, a place where you can recover all your health, similarly to a checkpoint)
some new mobs (like Kobolds that light up caves and Werewolves who turn into powerful monstera during the night)
and more!
For a full guide of the mod, go here: https://mcreator.net/forum/54502/hodge-podge-getting-started-guide
Some of the blocks in this mod have connected textures! To use them, you have to download this mod: (https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/ctm). If you don't download this mod, Hodge-Podge III will still work, but you won't be able to see the connected textures.
This mod also has some special compatibility with RaolCraft Omega! If you also play it, the Collector will reveal a treasure hidden somwhere in RaolCraft (which can't be found until the Collector tells you where is it).
This mod also supports Ore Dictionary, meaning that you can make an addon for this mod or a crossover feature! There are too many ore dictionary entries to be written here, so you'll have to see them ingame using a mod like this.

+Collector's Tower
A tower in the DarkWorld where the Collector can be found
A Dark Elf who prefers to collect ancient rarities rather than to fight. Give him precious (and useless) treasures and he will give you some rewards.
You can't give him the same item more than once. The reward is not based on the item you give him but on how many items you gave him before. This information is stored per player and not per Collector, this means that if you have a duplicate treasure you can't give it to a Collector (but another player in the same world can, if he hasn't already).
He will also sometimes give you hints on where to find a rarity.

Found in the DarkWorld

1.9 - Tainted Update - 06/14/2020
This update introduces the third dimension of the mod (the Taint), some new structures, a new powerful armor, many new mobs, a few features directly from Hodge-Podge II and more.
This is also the last 1.12.2 update, so make sure to report any bugs so I can release a patch before porting to 1.14/1.15.
+Ghoul Dungeon
A structure found directly underneath the Cursed Tree. A portal of Ravenbricks can be found here. (The structure won't retro-generate in old chunks, you'll have to explore new ones and find another Cursed Tree if you're in a old world)
Found in the Ghoul Dungeon, is very slow until it finds a target, then accelerates
+Eerie Bricks
Lit their portal with a Tainted Scepter to go to the Taint
+Taint Dimension
Used to be a beautiful realm, is now corrupted by a noxious toxin. Consists of 3 main biomes: the Tainted Wasteland, the Skeletric Woods and the Dusk Desert
+Tainted Skeleton
A mob found in the Taint, probably used to be one of the explorers who came to the dimension
+Tainted Jabberwock

+Aurora Helmet
Lets you produce light from the head like a Kobold
+Kobold of the DarkWorld
A Kobold found in the DarkWorld, you might notice it by the light it emits from the candle
A slow cousin of the Oun that deals a lot of damage. Found in the Wastes

+A few WIP things which will actually be introduced in the next update
~Improved advancements
~Renamed Azure Haunters into Grim Haunters

~Done a few other tweaks
! Fixed some bugs
1.9.1 - Slabs & Stairs Update - 06/16/2020
+Slabs and Stairs for Mixed Bricks, Dark Bricks, Wonderrock Bricks, Eerie Bricks, Taintstone Bricks, Dusk Sandstone and all kinds of Hodge-Podge planks (Tulgey, Tumtum, Murkwood, Bonewood and Golden)
Finally!! I forgot to add them in the last update XD
Unfortunately, due to a bug the slabs can't be crafted in survival (I don't know why, the stairs work fine), but at least this update fixed an important bug :/
! Taint biomes generated in the Overworld
! Dusk Sand didn't have gravity
I think I will release another update soon. I found some bugs and I want to do some changes.
Also, the boss has no actual reward at the moment.
The reward I will add will be an item (I think I will call it Fire Pendant, but the name will change) that when used (it has infinite uses) will extinguish the fire on the player.
You might be saying this item is too simple and it is overshadowed by RaolCraft's Fire Totem. Yes, I hadn't better ideas, but the Fire Pendant can be actually very useful in the Nether. It's better to right-click an item in the hotbar rather than place a cauldron and fill it with water. Also, the Fire Pendant is a lot more common than the Fire Totem: the pendant is mid-game, the totem is extremely end-game.
I hope you will like the next updates :)

Lehtonen Becomes Second Finn to Reach 300 Wins as Adjustment to Backup Role Continues
Dallas Stars netminder Kari Lehtonen became just the second Finnish-born goaltender to reach 300 wins on Wednesday, following the Stars' 5-2 win over New York Islanders.
Lehtonen joined former San Jose Sharks and Calgary Flames goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff on the list of 33 goaltenders to reach 300 career wins in his 624th NHL appearance, reaching the milestone a mere five years after Kiprusoff himself established the new record among goaltenders from the European nation.
The 34-year-old Lehtonen has posted a relatively healthy .913 save percentage so far this season, but now finds himself in the backup role in Texas following the arrival of Ben Bishop during the summer – a change Lehtonen admits he is still adjusting to.
"I don't know what's hardest, it's just a little different," Lehtonen told InGoal Magazine.
"Sometimes you feel like you practice, practice, practice, practice; but also when I get to play I get a little bit more excited about it too."
Kari Lehtonen (624 GP) surpassed Miikka Kiprusoff (623 GP) for the most appearances by a Finnish-born goaltender in NHL history, while also joining Kiprusoff as the only Finnish netminders to reach the 300-win milestone. #NHLStats pic.twitter.com/Aygm3jssdL
— NHL Public Relations (@PR_NHL) December 14, 2017
Drafted 2nd overall by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2002, Lehtonen was once one of the most exciting goaltending prospects in the world.
He has had trouble with injuries and consistency throughout his career, though, culminating in the Stars management team opting to sign Bishop to a 6-year, $29.5 million deal during the most recent offseason.
"It's been a little different, but still you feel like part of the team, cheering on the other guys now maybe more than before, when you were always in there focusing on your own game." Lehtonen said.
Having played 59 games or more in five of his seven full seasons in Dallas (not including the truncated 2012/13 schedule or his injury-riddled 2009/10 campaign), the reduced role has presented different demands on Lehtonen's game.
"You just have to remind yourself not to jump away from the path you know, or the style you know that works, and that's hard to do sometimes" the Helsinki native said.
With fewer minutes, practise has become an increasingly important part of Lehtonen's season as he looks to stay sharp. Still, the veteran is conscious that he must not let bad habits, such as cheating on drills, bleed over into his game:
"Maybe more now I will go out and challenge more than maybe I would do in a game, but you just have to remind yourself it's not what you would do in a normal situation.
"We have pretty good drills we do, a lot better than what I have become accustomed to before, just from a coach's standpoint … we do more game like things with 'Hutch' (Stars Head Coach Ken Hitchcock) … that helps me with spacing and not being crazy in practice."
Set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, Lehtonen does not intend to let last season's struggles, or his changing role with the Stars, affect him moving forward:
"It can be hard, but that's my job. It doesn't help to bitch and complain about it. You have to accept it and make the best of it."

Jonathan Miller's dazzlingly inventive staging of The Mikado returns to cinemas for encore screenings!
Filmed at the London Coliseu, this has become for many the definitive production of this much-loved Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera.
Set in an ever-so English 1930s seaside hotel, Miller's Marx Brothers-inspired song-and-dance Mikado is a popular hit with audiences of all ages. The combination of Gilbert's virtuosic wit, Sullivan's memorable melodies and Miller's hilarious antics is irresistible.

Applying for jobs can drive us nuts at times. You research the company, tweak your CV and write a stunning cover letter – then you wait. Sometimes you will receive a response, sometimes not. The competition for jobs, especially creative positions, is fierce. But it's not quite time to give up on your dream just yet, perhaps you just need to employ a more unusual approach.
Here are just a few creative ways some jobseekers have used to land their ideal position, but don't limit yourself – almost any creative talent could be used to help you stand out from the crowd.
Creative Direct Mail
You may have been told by a careers advisor before that the best way to stand out is to make your application memorable. Including photo or carefully designed CV may well work, but if you really want to be memorable you could try a tactic used in marketing: direct mail.
The idea behind direct mail is to tailor both your message and your presentation to your audience, in this case your prospective employer. Want to be a chef? Why not include a recipe of your signature dish? You could even present your application in a stylish menu-style pamphlet.
Advertise Yourself
This might not sound an entirely original idea, after all people have been advertising their services since the birth of language. But with so many modern advertising channels available to everyone there is more advertising opportunity than ever.
There is a great example of a Galway graduate who was considering emigrating to find a job. He rented a billboard with an eye-catching advert asking for a job. Within weeks he had several interviews and had landed a position at Paddy Power.
Then there is Alec Brownstein who used targeted online pay-per-click advertising to target the executives of companies he wanted to work for. He landed a number of interviews and, after not too long, his dream job.
Not all advertising solutions have to cost money either. There is the story of the guy from Dallas who wore a sandwich board reading "Brand new, hardworking MBA needs work!" on a busy corner during rush hour. He had a job by lunch.
Put Yourself on YouTube
Everyone loves a good video clip, so where better to get yourself seen than the world's most watched video library? Whether you're a young amateur singer called Justin Bieber or a jobseeker from Derby, YouTube videos can be a great way of getting noticed.
Take Greame Anthony, who successfully found full-time work after creating an interactive YouTube CV.
Take to the Web
Whatever your dream career the web can help you catch it. Whether you write a blog about your dream career, create a stunning website to show off your skills, or use a custom page to display your graphics portfolio, the web has a lot of scope for making it your own. Buy yourself a memorable domain name and get creative.
The Reverse Job Application
Seeking your ideal job? Why not ask for it? That's exactly what Andrew Horner, a young graduate in the USA did. He created a reverse application web page that asked companies to apply for him. It wasn't too long before Andrew was busy with interviews and landed a job at an awesome start-up.
These weird and wonderful approaches worked for some, but they won't work for everyone. Regardless of how you spin your talents to get a job, the key to standing out is always to be genuine and original. Even a little bit of flair in your CV or cover letter could help.
Where next?
Not sure where to start? Why not try one of these handy career tools or find some useful CV tips.

Digital Disruption in Estate Agency is widespread. Some see it as progress; whatever your view it is not about to stop.
The past few years we have seen a number of attempts by estate agents to protect themselves from these changes. The more creative lateral thinkers instead embrace change. The most notable attempt at change was a national property portal which now resembles what agents disliked. Why did it happen? Perhaps the industry had forgotten the basics.
How Estate Agency used to work – well.
In 1940 if you wanted a property in a specific area you drove down there, and spoke with the agents. After a while they posted items to you and the process of buying a property had begun. In those days local agents had more local prominence and local authority. They networked with each other extensively. On completion welcome packs, cards and more were common place.
The Cocooned Consumer.
The digital economy created both cocooned consumers and a few suppliers happier to engage via a screen whenever possible. Convenience is a double edged sword as self service becomes easier so profits can fall. The potential loss of revenue can be offset in a local market place where costs are lower. Examples of skill and value are easier to highlight causing more listings to go to the more socially savvy agents.
The fact is Google loves local content. Our platform is all about promoting local agents and will raise their profile as engaging property professionals.
Growing the local market place
Low hanging fruit is a term used to describe that "ideal property". There will always be demand for well presented properties in certain locations.
These properties will usually sell in a matter of days. Today owners can place their properties online almost immediately. If it sells in a couple of days they saved a significant amount, often enough to decorate the new home. If a property does not sell then at least a lot of the hard work has been done. They made the decision and started the process and they are visible to local agents.
Local independent Agents
A vendor realising that selling is not as easy as they thought can contact the local independent estate agent. This virtual watering hole brings agents together unlike some other portals which force division and listing chasing. The way forward is the develop a faster moving market with lower margins.
As more owners list their properties so more good news stories come to the surface. Agents who deliver their service with a passion will attract more business. This is more likely to happen with independent agents as they own their businesses.
Hybrid Estate agency
Self service, part service and just paying for professional advice is the way forward. The Financial Services act has been with us since 1986, this allowed consumers the choice of commission or flat fees. Solicitors and accountants offer the same choice to it follows will Estate Agents.
Whilst focused on the amazing technicolour national portals that some agents may have given up doing the basic local marketing. Networking with fellow professionals at the watering hole is actually work! no matter what the spouse says. The rewards for continuing the focus on the national portals include ever increasing fees and less control.
Some things have changed?
Today buyers engage with agents via the internet but little else has fundamentally progressed?
In 2000 the first (now leading) National Property Portal launched. Today almost every agent considers it's the only place to sell a property. If the idea was that perfect then why did a bunch of agents start "On the Market"? And why are there now so many hybrid agencies ?
- Property prices are now freely available to consumers.
- Data submit to national portals can be used by other entities you had not intended access.
- Social media reaches more people in less time than emails and traditional advertising.
Today there are many online Portals. Most of them backed by estate agents so not a lot is new. Vendors often commit to paying almost 1,000 pounds on completion or after so many months even without a sale!
There is an alternative.
Consumers already understand selling online so encourage them and share the reward.
Benefits to Agents
- Create a lot more noise online locally at no cost.
- Promote your existing listings online at no cost.
- Owners will bring more properties to market sooner.
Our portal accepts the same data feed you already use to send to "the national portals".
Most agencies find they can have the data sent to us without any additional cost. Five minutes is all it will take to send your data to the local portal.
We will not charge you for listing your properties on the local property portal.

So, my sister started this great getting fit page for moms. Just a community where friends can share their tips, ideas, successes, and frustrations. I am not overweight now, but I was after my daughter was born. Getting fit is a tough road for anyone, but having a disability adds extra challenges. But with patience and determination, I did it. I did it again after my son was born a year ago.
I did not use fad diets or expensive memberships to do it. I did it on my own, with simple diet changes and excersize. I believe that if I can do it, just about anyone can do it.
So each week on my sister's page, I share a Skinny Girl tip of the week. Just a simple change you can make to get the weight off and keep it off. I thought I would share with you, too! Disabled or not, I think these tips can help anyone who wants to lose wieght or be healthier.
Before and after pics are soon to come!
Skinny Girl tip of the week:
A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. Right now, it may seem like you'll never reach your goal. And in 6 months, if you don't start now, you'll still be the same. But what if, 6 months from now, you had a totally different body? That can happen! If you stay determined and consistent, you could lose those 10, 20, or 40 pounds in 6 months! Just remember that there will, and should be, a few cheat days and mistakes. And don't worry, it DOES NOT mean that you can't eat like a normal person. Imagine yourself a totally different person by January. YOU CAN DO IT!

The KDE project today issued a security advisory: the telnet, rlogin, ssh and mailto URI handlers in KDE are remotely expoitable by an active attacker. Patches are available. See http://www.kde.org/info/security/adviso … 0517-1.txt.
I read in the weekly ArchLinux newsletter that the Arch KDE packager has resigned -- I still hope we can get patched kdelibs packages in due time.
Jabber: firstname.lastname@example.com
kde 3.2.3 will be out in about a month - hopefully with these patches in it
i resigned, because of upload-bandwidth trouble - it was more than my internet-conneciton was able to handle
The impossible missions are the only ones which succeed.
I see, thanks. Shame regarding your maintainership, as far as I'm concerned you did an excellent job. I love KDE, have built it a lot, and I'd take over maintainership in a heartbeat if I weren't so new to Arch still

Meghna and Pushkaraj – Maldives
Meghna and Pushkaraj feasted on amazing cuisine and fed stingrays on their leisurely honeymoon at Vivanta by Taj Coral Reef in Maldives, apart from enjoying water sports
"We first met in 2007 while sorting out celebrity invitations for the Dubai International Film Festival. I was still in high school back then and Pushkaraj was mid-way through his engineering degree at BITS Pilani Dubai. Little did we know that nine years later, having survived five years of a long-distance relationship, major career shifts, and cultural differences, we would end up tying the knot! Our intimate, fun-filled wedding took place in my hometown of New Delhi in May this year. However, I was born and brought up in Dubai, and we decided to settle down there as it was also the city where we first met."
"We visited Maldives in September 2016 for a week-long vacation which we call our honeymoon. Both of us are complete water babies and Maldives was perfect as it allowed us to indulge in snorkeling, scuba diving, and canoe riding, among other water sports."
Honeymoon Planning
"Maldives embodies pure relaxation with no sight-seeing involved. This place is a couple's paradise where you can spend all day entwined in each other's arms with absolutely nothing on the agenda. The vacation was such a welcome break from the huge stress of the wedding and post-wedding activities. We would wake up leisurely, play a couple of games of table tennis, feast on extravagant meals and indulge in water activities. We chose to stay at the Vivanta by Taj Coral Reef after two months of researching the perfect resort. It was the best decision ever as the hotel organizes exclusive stingray feeding sessions on the main beach daily at 5 pm, and that is what initially attracted us to the resort. It was a lovely sight it was to see those magnificent creatures emerge at the beach perfectly on time for the feeding session every evening without fail. The resort staff informed us that though the resort itself is only seven years old, generations of the same families of stingrays have been surfacing at almost the same time near the beach for 17 years waiting to be fed!"
Honeymoon Highlights
"Besides the daily stingray feeding sessions, snorkeling in the clear blue waters amongst schools of colorful fishes was a delight we happily indulged in every day. We also went on a wonderful sunset cruise, attended cocktail making sessions, had a romantic and gorgeous private dinner set up with a butler by the beach and indulged in a couple's spa session in the mesmerising Jiva spa. The hospitality of the staff was incredible and we were able to have a fantastic photoshoot session by the enchanting infinity pool as well."
Best Meals
"We took the all-inclusive package which meant there was absolutely nothing to think twice about, and we could eat and drink to our heart's content in every restaurant and lounge at the resort. All the types of cuisines we tasted were outstanding, and I especially liked the delicious grilled swordfish which was cooked to perfection!"
Most Romantic Moment
"On one of the days during our stay, we were lucky to witness a small wedding ceremony at the resort. The set up was so gorgeous that while the moon deck was being decorated for the evening wedding, we managed to sneak in and my husband proposed to me all over again against that jaw-dropping backdrop! That was when we felt like getting married all over again in the heaven that is Maldives."
Advice to Couples
"The only advice we would give other couples would be to choose a place where all you have to do is relax since honeymoons come after a lot of wedding stress and emotional upheavals. Also, while in Maldives do make sure to opt only for the all inclusive plans as that leaves you with absolutely nothing to worry about with your only focus being on making the trip extremely memorable."

On separation it is important to determine each spouse's income in order to apply the Federal Child Support Guidelines and the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines.
Usually we use the spouses' income as stated on line 150 of their tax returns. This is their gross income from all sources before tax is paid.
If spouses are self-employed their line 150 income may not represent their true income because of the ability to deduct business expenses from income. Some of these expenses will be real expenses required to run their business but often these expenses will include personal expenses as well.
The most common personal expenses which a spouse will deduct on their return as business expenses are the following:
- All automobile expenses, not just the percentage that the vehicle is used for business purposes
- All cell phone expenses
- All meals, entertainment and travel expenses
- Home office expenses
- Depreciation or amortization
What we do is look at all of the expenses which have been deducted and determine what percentage of each expense is really a personal expense. These personal expenses are then added back to the spouse's income in order to determine their income for guideline purposes.

Introduction: DIY Fruit Picker
This is a DIY Fruit picker. it is easy to make, and is a whole LOT efficient! Don't believe me? Make and test yourself!
For this, you'll require :
1. A bag (prefer a cloth bag)
2. A long wooden stick
3. Some thread
4. Some rope
5. A sickle
6. A badminton racket (yes, you've seen it correctly!)
Note : I took the badminton racket because the threading was broken. And it served a good purpose of bag attachment !
Step 1: Working
Hey, I know, this is not a building step, but this will help you understand the operation of the mod!
We put(capture) the fruit in the bag and pull the stick. The sickle cuts the stem from the tree as we pull the stick. The sickle should be sharp and spiky so that the stem is cut easily.
After the stem is cut, the fruit falls into the bag, and it is safe. No injuries to it.
Note : Its bearing capacity is max 2 fruits(having size of mangoes). Do Not Overload
Step 2: Assembling
Before assembling, Make sure the following things are present.
* The wooden stick is dense and strong
* The net of the badminton racket is not present
* The thread and rope have good strength
* The bag must have good durability. Prefer a cloth bag.
--Now Let's Begin Assembling--
1. Attach the bag to the badminton racket, such that as the fruit falls, the bag must hold it properly. The bag is to be properly wound on the racket. Use thread to do this.
2. Attach the sickle with the stick with rope.
3. Attach the racket and bag combo to the stick and sickle combo, such that the oval part of the racket is exactly below the sickle. For this, the racket must be tilted (view cover image).
4. Tie the assembly with rope. Make sure no joint is loose. And now, your assembly is ready to test.
Step 3: Done!
I see! You're talking about the bag with spots right?
That's because I tried and tested it first on many mangoes (and I tell you, all of them were delicious! :-P )
As we have seen the working in Step 2, try and test it. It is a simple design , and should work properly

It is a lovely sunny day here today, thank goodness!!!!!!! We have had constant rain for weeks and I am getting just a wee bitty fed up of it!" LOL!!!!
I am entering the above card in the Kenny K Challenge - Anything goes.
The white background on the card is covered in Twinkles and it looks a wee bitty funny in the photo!! I used paper from my stash, which again, came free from a magazine (I am slowly working my way through it all!) I also used black gems which I have had for years!
This is the sketch from Let's Scrap. I have used two photos of Hadley and I have only used the left hand side of the sketch. The papers were from an old K & Co pad named Hopscotch which is actually falling to bits as there is not much left in it! Ribbons and brads were from my stash too. I made the flower by cutting a spiral with my deckle edge scissors, then winding it up to form a circle.
Well, I am now going to take advantage of the weather today and I am going to do some work in the garden. Marie and Jackson are coming down for tea so I will hopefully get lots of cuddles from my wee man!!
Thank you so much for stopping at my blog!

LOOKING Season 2 Premiere: "Looking for the Promised Land"
This past Sunday (01.11.15) marked the return of three boys from San Fran, struggling to keep their lives together amidst the chaos of their own discontent. Looking kicked off its second season with a lively and dream-like premiere episode, as Patrick, Dom, and Agustin headed to the woods for a quiet getaway turned LGBT midnight rave filled with sex, drugs, dancing, and skinny-dipping.
Pat tries his hardest to refrain from wallowing in his own misery for how badly he handled his situation with Richie, who he's obviously still hung up on. And yet, the one person he can't keep off his mind is Kevin, as we learn that their secret relationship has developed since we saw them last. This is obviously an issue for Pat, considering Kevin still has a boyfriend. Agustin seemed to have gone off the deep end for a while after his break-up with Frank, accusing Pat and Dom of their getaway being a staged intervention after Pat suggests a weekend of sobriety. However, according to Pat, the weekend is solely meant to be a getaway for the three to spend time together, although secretly, he hopes for this weekend to signify the cutting of his ties with Kevin. It's not long before Doris, as hilarious and outspoken as ever, arrives and turns their "calm weekend" on its head, as the four take Ecstasy and head to "The Promised Land," a rave in the middle of the woods.
"Looking for the Promised Land" is easily Looking's most fun, vibrant, and gorgeously artistic episode to date, particularly during one continuous long-shot where we go from character to character as each takes in the party on their own, dancing with strangers among the electro-pop and neon lights. Everyone is lost in the moment, and it's impossible to not get lost with them. Their lives in San Francisco seem eons away—that is, until Patrick gives in and calls Kevin to join the party. Cutting ties with him is easier said than done, in Pat's case.
The other boys aren't far behind in finding partners for the night. Dom explores the "openness" of his relationship with Lynn—who we learn is now his boyfriend—by hooking up with a stranger, while Agustin goes skinny-dipping with a new friend named Eddie, played by Daniel Franzese—a familiar face for any Mean Girls fan. Eddie is the first new face of the series and possibly the most important, as Agustin later discloses that Eddie is HIV positive. This is new territory for Looking and is likely to be a vital topic this season as it progresses.
As dreamy and enjoyable as Looking's season two premiere episode is, it continuously holds an underlying sense of self-imposed escape. Every character has their demons to battle back in the real world, and it will undoubtedly be interesting to see how they develop or deal with them. Patrick is clearly ashamed of how he's handing his situation with Kevin, or lack thereof, not to mention how much he still cares for Richie. Agustin's troubling drug habits are inferred, but not entirely depicted, due to his post-breakup instability, so this could be an issue for him as season continues. Hopefully his newfound friendship with Eddie brings him some mental clarity. Dom seems to be the most well put-together of the bunch, but we have much to learn about his relationship with Lynn and how exactly its "openness" will play out. And, of course, let's hope Doris will continue to be around to provide the funniest quips in every episode, well aware she is only straight character in the series. "Hanging out with you bunch—not the best for my vagina," she laughs, but it's doubtful that's going to keep her away from her favorite trio.
Here's a look inside the Season Two premiere episode which you can still catch on 01.14 at 8:00pm & 12:35am; 01.15 at 10:30pm; 01.16 at 12:30am and 01.17 at 12:25am.that is followed by a preview for Episode Two which is entitled "Looking For Results":

Dissapointing - Not Enough Actual Info (Dec 10, 2008) Reviewer: Anna Jackson I absolutely loved Ezzo's Baby Wise book... have used the method with both my boys with wonderful results. So when it came to potty training, I naturally gravitated to this book. However I have come away severely disappointed. The book appeared to me to be filled with a lot of fluff and repeating the same things over and over again. It appears to me that this book was just kind of thrown together and put out there to capitalize on the success of Baby Wise. For example, a full 1/3rd of the book (starting on page 99 and following) has nothing what-so-ever to do with potty training. A large section of it is all about getting your household on a schedule. Which I'm sure is wonderful information, if that's what you're trying to do -- but I bought this book for potty training. Then the rest is about other products in the Ezzo line... followed by blank pages. It appears to me that this whole section has been added in an effort to "plump up" the book to make it look like it has more to say. Only page 43-61 is actually about the how-to of potty training. They start by mentioning three potential methods... and then follow up by giving you the specifics of only one of those three. The method they state basically appears to be copying the "potty training in one day method using a doll" (such as the Potty Scotty method that's gained such recognition on the Dr. Phil show). If I had skimmed this book in an actual store, I would have quickly been able to see that it didn't have very much useful information at all. (I do want to clarify that they don't mention the actual Potty Scotty doll... they suggest you can use a bear or Raggity Ann doll or a generic drink and wet doll.) Again, I do highly recommend Baby Wise... just not this one.
Trained....in one day! (Dec 10, 2008) Reviewer: K. Walsh I read this book a few months ago, and my son was not ready for potty-training. I skimmed it last night and realized that he was now showing signs of readiness. I decided that today was the day...we were going to potty train! I love the EZZO series, and was thankful for the advice and guidance that Babywise provided when my son was a newborn. Now as a toddler, he is potty trained thanks to this book. I appreciate the author's suggestions and guidance - it all made sense to me. My son was thrilled to have his toy doll (my cabbage patch doll from my childhood) use the potty, get his reward, have a clean and dry diaper...etc..etc..etc... It was a very long day ~ a huge commitment, to say the least. The bottom line is this: I followed the guidelines of this book today. My son peed 13X and pooped just after dinner. This was after an all-day event with his new potty seat and his new doll, Joseph. I will never forget how much fun, (and tiring) this day was...the REWARDS were huge, though. I know my son was very proud of himself and it just melted my heart to see him have such success with the potty. Thank you Mr. Ezzo. I have loved your books, and value your advice. Congrats to you and to us!
Love this!!! (Jan 09, 2009) Reviewer: C Orchards Training my 3rd son has been really easy but even easier with this great invention! My little guy loves, loves, loves this and gets excited to use it. He also likes to dump it when he is done. Keep the Lysol/Clorox/Costco wipes ready because it tends to get pee on the brace that connects to the potty and some is still in the urinal itself as well. Such a great tool for potty training!!!!
great item (Jan 10, 2009) Reviewer: Michele This shield is just great for protecting your walls and wallpaper from the mis-aim of your little boys. Being the mother of twin boys this has been a lifesaver from washing walls and floors on a daily basis. Would recommend, in fact i am buying another one.

SCW Game Night Pics / SCW Needs You!
Here are some pics of some of the guys playing Fantasy for the Warbands expansion series we are doing, its been great fun.
If you can find a good spot I highly recommend getting a group together, most of us had never really met before, and now we have a great bunch of guys all from the local area. If you don't have a store that you can play in, you can take control and do it yourself.
Santa Cruz Warhammer was started to get in touch with other local hobbyists in our small town, we have met so many cool people from right here in our own community.
Next we are reaching out to you, our readers for some help on this blog.

Hearts 0 Celtic 4: Neil Lennon's side put domestic form back on track
By Roddy Forsyth
Their demeanour was in marked contrast to the flat performance which led to defeat at home to Caley Thistle on Saturday and strongly suggested that this Celtic squad produce their best in direct proportion to the atmosphere of the event.
Lennon's players came into the fixture having won only one of their previous five SPL matches - against Aberdeen at Pittodrie - and, as on that occasion, the stadium was close to full for their visit. For the first few minutes there was parity of noise from the two supports but by the interval, with their side trailing to shots from Lassad, Michael Lustig and an own goal by Ryan Stevenson, some Hearts fans were already making for the exits.
Very few were around for the final whistle, by which time they had not only witnessed a demoralising defeat but also a penalty kick saved by Fraser Forster, who was again in inspirational form.
Yet Hearts reacted well enough to their share of the racket for the opening minutes and when they forced their first corner and then won a free-kick for a foul on Callum Paterson by Kelvin Wilson - Celtic captain for the night - they seemed to have bedded into the contest. The impression soon proved to be illusory. The gloves came off, literally, when Kris Commons discarded his. The midfielder had no sooner cast his hand warmers aside when Beram Kayal found him free on the left and as the Hearts back line was sucked towards him they left Lassad entirely unmarked beyond the back post.
The Tunisian finished, driving low past Jamie MacDonald from six yards. To make matters worse for Hearts, they squandered a prompt chance to equalise when a Stevenson free-kick found Paterson all alone inside the box but, with a free header and the goal at his disposal, he mistimed his contact and the ball skidded wide off the top of his skull.
Before Hearts came as close again they had fallen further behind as Lassad, gathering a pass from Lustig, saw his cutback deflected into the path of the Swede, who rifled a drive into the far corner. The fight was now going against Hearts in every
department and it seemed increasingly that if they were going to inflict damage it would most likely be from a set-piece but when the situation arose Celtic played another trump card.
A foul by Commons on Paterson brought Stevenson within shooting distance and he responded with a full-blooded free-kick which lanced through the wall only for Forster to block. Zaliukas hooked the rebound back but he was also thwarted by the goalkeeper before Ryan McGowan show past.
A few minutes later Hearts were again negligent at the back post, allowing Charlie Mulgrew a free shot on the left of their box. Stevenson, well back from his upfield beat, saw the danger and threw himself into an attempt to intercept but diverted the ball into his own net.
The progress of the second half was entirely predictable as Celtic – who brought on Scott Brown and Georgios Samaras as the game wore on - granted Hearts the ball in the danger areas, then - after Forster had saved Zaliukas' penalty effort when Wilson upended Stevenson - showed how it should be done with a Hooper shot from Mulgrew's supply. "We were back to the levels we know they can play at," said Lennon. "So it's very, very satisfactory."
Meanwhile Hibs moved up to second through a late Paul Cairney goal against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park.
The hosts should have scored through a Nigel Hasselbaink penalty, but Ben Williams saved it, and Liam Craig's follow-up.
Then Cairney made the hosts pay, with a low shot that defeated goalkeeper Alan Mannus. To confound the misery for the hosts, captain Dave Mackay was sent off in injury time.
Craig also hit the bar with a free-kick earlier, even at that stage suggesting it was not going to the Saints' night.
