They say you have to spend money to make money, and that’s certainly true of marketing. But if you’ve only got a small budget to market your business, these ideas can help you get the best marketing bang for your limited buck.
Don’t forget to also recycle your content. Turn a webinar into a video tutorial. Transform a collection of blog posts into an ebook. Never be afraid to mash-up your old content – chances are there will be a ton of people who never even saw your old stuff, so it’ll be a fresh, 100% new content piece for a large segment of your audience.
Referrals are one of the top ways to grow your business. Remember, word-of-mouth is powerful stuff, so friends telling friends about your business is incredibly valuable.
Learning how to ask for referrals can exponentially increase the number of referrals you get and therefore dramatically increase your client base.
Be prepared though, don’t go in without a plan. Learn how to tell prospective customers or clients about what you do. Develop an elevator pitch – rambling or being flustered won’t win you any converts. Research shows the average attention span of an adult is about six to eight seconds. That’s all the time you have to grab someone’s attention.
Then learn the most likely places to find your new clients – and go to those places. Simple.
The down side – networking requires a time commitment and it doesn’t provide instant gratification, but a strong network is one of the greatest assets any business person can have.
Now this might seem obvious but it isn’t.
Have you even looked at your marketing plan lately? Haul it out. Have a look. Are those marketing objectives still what you’re trying to achieve? Do you have new ones? And what are you doing to achieve them now? At the very least it could be time for a new marketing campaign or it could even be time for an entire marketing makeover.
And if you haven’t got a plan create one and make sure you implement it and measure the results – how do you know if you are being successful if you don’t measure it? Linking your marketing activities to revenue generation is always a good start too!
Sponsor a local junior sporting team, a school event or a 5k charity walk/run. Print bookmarks and leave them at the local library. Get to know your ideal customer and think about how and where they spend their time.
Then search for opportunities to get in front of that customer with your marketing message.
If the idea of writing a Press Release fills you with dread and even if you wrote one you wouldn’t know what to do with it other than post it to your website – take a look at resources such as www.sourcebottle.com..
You can respond to journalist’s queries that are looking for story ideas and resources. Some are small media opportunities, but others are major media outlets that use this service too.
Ask customers for their email address when they visit your shop or website. Then, make your communications informative, helpful and professional — something your customers will look forward to receiving.
Now this might seem like a strange one but what I mean here is audit your marketing collateral both printed and online. Make sure it is all still relevant and details are correct – like your address and phone numbers.
Google your business and see what comes up, if you rely on local customers make sure you have a Google My Business account. This will make sure your business is not only visible on search, but on Google Maps as well.
Check your social media accounts and ensure your profiles and settings are all still relevant. We often build our social accounts and then start posting but forget to review and update the information pages.
Check review sites as well and ensure that all feedback has been responded to – the good and the bad. Try to take the bad offline. Often I have seen negative reviewers remove their comments after a personal phone call to rectify a problem.
I have left this as my final tip and one that many businesses don’t do well. They have a plan but don’t develop a budget to implement the plan. Or they under budget so they can only afford to implement half the plan.
Whilst marketing doesn’t have to be expensive there are still costs involved so make sure you budget for them and then measure their success to determine your return on investment.
Marketing doesn’t have to break your bank, blow your budget, or cost you thousands of dollars. These ten inexpensive marketing strategies will help you engage customers, build relationships, and ultimately keep your brand top-of-mind. It’s not always about the money you have to spend on marketing, it’s about the time and effort you put into it and above all, the relevance it has for your customers.

With just a few weeks to go, with several possible Oscar contenders to be released until the end of the year, the first months of 2010 also look promising for adventure and costly CGI. Early in January, Warner Bros. will be releasing the next Denzel Washington star vehicle, a post-apocalyptic story, where an inevitably lone hero fights his way across America’s wasteland. He’s the protector of a sacred book that may hold the key to saving humanity. Bad guy in this film directed by brothers Albert and Allen Hughes, is none other than Gary Oldman. In the US, it kicks off screens on January 15, in Romania it can be seen one week later.
One of next year’s most anticipated movies is Peter Jackson’s latest project, some eight years after the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Lovely Bones, featuring Rachel Weisz and Susan Sarandon. The story unfolds in 1973 in Pennsylvania, where a 14 year old girl disappears mysteriously. The next time the audience meets Susie, she is in her own personalized version of “heaven.” She meets Holly, another dead girl, and they strike up a friendship. Everything she ever wanted appears as soon as she thinks of it – except the thing she most wants: to be back with the people she loved on Earth. The film opens worldwide on January 15. On January 22, you are invited to step into fight, with none other than the heavenly angels by your side. British actor Paul Bettany leads the cast of “Legion,” a fantastic film dealing with…guess what?… the end of the world. When God loses faith in humanity, he sends a legion of angels to wipe out the human race. It’s only hope is a group of misfits holed up in a diner, aided by the archangel Michael. So, if you really must pay to this one, expect it in cinemas on January 25 and in Romania later in February.
Two days before Valentines’ Day, prepare for some scares, as the latest werewolf movie will be on worldwide screens. Benicio del Toro stars in “Wolfman”, inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a legacy of horror, bringing the myth of a cursed man back to its iconic origins. On February 19, Martin Scorsese is back with his favorite actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, exploring a psychological thriller. Set in 1954, U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding on Shutter Island. The film, also featuring Mark Ruffalo, Michelle Williams and Ben Kingsley, opens on February 19. In Romania it can be seen in March.
Tim Burton’s next widely anticipated fantasy, Alice in Wonderland, featuring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter will kick off screens worldwide on March 5. We all know the story, and have seen it adapted for the screen before, but with Burton we can only expect new twists and wonderful animation.
On March 26, also with worldwide release, we get to be back to Olympus and see Greek gods at work with the remake of “Clash of the Gods,” much improved with CGI and an international cast. Last but not least, in May comes the screen adaptation of the successful video game Prince of Persia, Sands of Time. Featuring Jake Gyllenhall, the film tells the story of an adventurous prince teaming up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world.

Over the past few nights, Texas UFO Sightings and MUFON received three reports of bright fireballs in the sky that behaved too strangely to be deemed a meteor. Could these sightings be related? The sighting at Lake Gilmer may have been of a triangular craft however, whereas the sightings in Katy and Cypress don't mention such a shape.
There was a fantastic meteor reported over the Northeast United States, so perhaps Texas got a meteor or two, too. Andrew K of Pennsylvania described it as "much brighter and more round" than a typical shooting star on the AMSMeteors.org website.
Yellow to orange light that looked like a fireball. Seen flying across the sky over our house at appx 2100 hours. It was completely silent, no other aircraft in sight. About two minutes after it passed two airplanes flew by. The two airplanes were clearly distinguishable. It was moving too fast to be a helicopter.
Bright light in sky, then looked like a spaceship with red light and and either green or yellow. Was remaining still took off straight up and then turned and flew over my home, towards neighbors and disappeared.behind homes and trees.seem to start descending. Not sure what I saw but was not a plane.
Me and my fianc were fishing on lake gilmer in an evening tournament. I felt an odd sensation that made me look up. We are in a flyway from the Dallas area airports and there were several airplanes in the area. As I scanned the sky's I saw a starlike object that looked somewhat triangular in shape that was traveling at a high rate of speed with no flashing light. I told my fianc to take a look due to the speed. At that time we were both looking at it and it disappeared. We both got chills and started scanning the sky's when we saw another object just like the first. It flashed randomly then disappeared. About 1 second later it flashed very bright. We never saw it after that. We watched the sky's for 30 minutes and saw shooting stars and airplanes. These triangular object were not anything like airplanes in the area. They were as high or higher than the airplanes but 3 times faster.
Did you see a large fireball or fireball-like object in Texas over the past few nights? Report it!

The overwhelming majority of Americans are tired of the debate between Republicans and Democrats over the issue of just how many of us deserve health care.
Proposals from members of both parties focus on the question of how many million Americans will be able to afford health care and how many millions will not. During this game played by politicians, we are given figures on just how many more deaths will result in one plan being favored over a competing plan proposed by the other major political party.
What a disgusting spectacle for all of us who are not politicians, or owners of stock in insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies or others with a financial stake in the health care business.
The people in the U.S. overwhelmingly demand what residents in all the developed countries of the world have. We want a health care system that covers all of us, not just those who happen to fit into either of the plans being proposed by the Republicans or the Democrats.
Neither party offers the money saving plan that accompanies single-payer health care, also known as Medicare for all. Why not? Don’t the residents of the U.S. have the same political pull as those companies making huge profits from our illnesses?
We know who comes first in this struggle and it’s not the people.

well, I finally did it, I read an archived post on the Cast Boolits forum of a friend of mine who had modified a German 88 Commission rifle with a 1903 springfield rear sight to give him some windage capabilities on the old rifle. Considering the Germans carried that same thought process of non-adjustable rear sights forward for their Model 98 Mausers, I decided that in order to provide better windage capabilities, I would try to do the same for a FN Mauser with a tangent rear sight. The 88 Commission uses a different rear sight design than a 98 Mauser so I had to find a rifle with an adjustable rear sight that uses a sliding tangent bar and I found that with a 1902 model Kraq rear sight. I only had to narrow the rear sight a little bit with a metal file and open up the rear sight pin hole to match the Mauser sight base's wider diameter sight pin. I've got a roll pin on order from a part supply house but I put the sight together using a standard 10-32 nut and bolt temporarily for the trip to the range last night. 2MOA group at 100 yards unslung and elbows down on a hard benchtop and I was able to dial in it into the black on the second group fired courtesy of the new rear sight. The target is a photo copy of the repair center for a NRA National Match 200yard center reduced for 100 yards.
Now I like that !
I looked on quietly at your FB discussion with Rick T. concerning this project. Well-executed and practical, and that 8 x 63 is a GREAT hunting caliber.
Neat idea. I really like my old Commission rifle. I really don't like the sights. Same thing with a 95 Chileno 7x57, hate the sights. How can a front barley corn look like it bends to the right anyway?

PARENTS, teachers and children have rallied round a school’s bid to raise £5,500 before Easter to build an extended playground.
Eastfield Infant and Nursery School, in St Ives, has long had a bigger play area for its pupils on its wish list.
The Eastfield School Association has already raised £12,000 towards the £17,500 project over the past couple of years, which has been collected through its usual fundraisers such as a Christmas disco and summer fayre.
However Zoe Weaver, chairman of the association, said: “At this time of year, kids still want to spend a lot of time outside and the playground area just isn't big enough.
“We thought that we just needed to get on and do this so we decided to have a massive fundraising drive.
As well as its usual events, the association will organise a charity car wash on Saturday (February 23) at the school in Pig Lane between 10am and 3pm.
A non-uniform day will also be held towards the end of term and the Co-Operative has said Eastfield volunteers can organise a charity bag packing day at one of its stores.
“There is an awful lot of traffic at playtimes and the kids are constantly crashing into each other. It's not safe and is a constant worry for the teachers,” said Mrs Weaver, who has a son at Eastfield and a daughter at nearby Westfield Junior School.
“The children are really excited about it. Playtime is a hugely important part of the day - that's when they have the freedom to play their own games and form their own friendship groups.

This came up in my work on FSharp.Data.SqlClient library.
Keep in mind that above are not normal F# type signatures but rather signature as suggested by Intellisense otherwise parameters with default values won’t show as optional.
It resolves to second constructor invocation where all parameters have default value e.g. optional.
At runtime this code reuses design time connection string to connect to a database. This is typical coding style for F# scripting (*.fsx + FSI).
For production-like scenarios connection string is read from some sort of configuration.
Note that will resolve to invocation of first constructor.
I got a complaint from one of the library users - Jet.com. They use pattern #2. They said the biggest source of mistakes is that developers forget to provide runtime override for connection string and it fails at runtime.
To sum up the change is following: if literal connection string was used at design time, at runtime either connection string or connection object is mandatory parameter. I believe it was right change to support production quality code but it made scripting counterpart ugly and I actually received complaints from customers.
let connection = "Server=.;Integrated Security=true"
It would be nice if the type provider can generate slightly different constructor signature for scripting e.g. allowing to create provided command with parameter-less ctor invocation.
But it works only when a type generated within FSI. This was enough to resolve issue 185 but not sufficient to generated diff ctors signatures.

Happy Spinning! May the light shine in on all of you!
Bowl and stars made by Daniel Hjortman. Birch bark.
It's -20 C this evening. I'm thinking about all the animals that live in the wild. How do they survive? Yes, I know they are protected, but still I feel uncomfortable. I found undercoat from a hare in our garden in the spring a couple of years ago. It's warm. It's been used for mittens in Scandinavia in old times. The fibers are only about 2,5 cm long, but you can spin them into a soft, warm yarn on a supported spindle or with a long draw on a spinning wheel.
We have daylight 4 hours 41 minutes today. It's snowing.
I'm spinning lavender blue and sun yellow.
New release from my son and friends tomorrow: Wadling and Silverbullit. My son Jukka in the centre of the photo.
Himmeli made from paper "straw"
I found this: Himmeli from paper straw tutorial. Wow! This a very good substitute for straw, and decorative too!
We have a beautiful tradition in Finland: we make "heavens" from straw, preferably rye straw. If you search internet for "himmeli" or "olkihimmeli" you'll find lots of photos. I'll show himmelis made by Eija Koski, exhibited at Loftet in Vaasa. Eija Koski uses old traditions as a base for making new items from straw. The traditional himmeli was hanging from the ceiling in the old days, but you can still find them in Finnish houses especially in Christmas time.
The fresh Cow Parsley has green stems. See how the color has changed from a deep green into a deep brown when the stems have dried!
If you want to use Cow Parsley you need to cut the stems while fresh, otherwise they'll split. Read about this beautiful wild flower here: Cow Parsley. In Finnish it's called "koiranputki", dog's pipe, and in Swedish "hundfloka" or "hundkäx", "dog's ?" or "dog's bisquit". On a warm and sunny afternoon when the hundfloka is flowering you can smell the fresh scent of a clean dog fur. It smells good!
"Nice yarn vomit", said Kristin on Ravelry when I showed the photo of my latest attampt to catch the yarn end from inside the ball.
See what she means? I have knitted since about 1955, and I still can't understand how you catch that yarn end.
Why is it that I can't stay on the road when reading texts on internet? I have been trying to read Jane's blog posts about Boreray for a couple of days. True to her exploring mind she has loads of relevant links, and true to my exploring mind I follow those links. And that's when I get lost and find myself somewhere I didn't intend to go, and suddenly half the day is spent reading various texts and I start getting worried about my spinning.
Now I'm going to give the Borerays a new try. They fascinate me, and Jane knows lots about them. And it's Saturday, which means I take it easy with my spinning.
The sun doesn't rize very high in December. It stays up for about five hours now. Very often it's clowdy, like today when I'm writing this. When the sun shows it has beautiful effects on the landscape. Quite often you can see halos, like the one in my photo. Foxes keep their cubs under the old barn in summer. For a few moments the roof shines like a jewel in the fading light.
Wouldn't you like to go into the wood and see what's in there?
When knitting easy things like this hat, I read while knitting. That's Jacey Bogg's Spin Art on the music stand. The tape? It keeps the book open! I would like one of those wire things you can buy for the same purpose, but I never seem to remember when visiting a shop that may have such necessary things.
If I button the cowl I can meet the autumn winds with confidence. The buttons were made by my grandmother a long time ago. I love them! And I do love this hat and cowl. Ingrid's yarn was spun aroung a core of metal wire, so both the hat and the cowl stay in shape besides being warm and soft. I don't know what finer Jon used, but it's also soft and lovely.
Thank you so much, Ingrid and Jon!
I haven't had time to read Wovember for a couple of days, and what do I see when I'm catching up? Me and my friends Malin, Sarah Jane, and Tini!!! Buying wool at Woolfest last year! That photo keeps popping up every now and then in magazines and on internet. And it always makes me want to go back to Cumbria and Lake District.
I want to crochet a flower afghan!
I started crocheting this small blanket in March, and now it's finally finished.
It's so dark, wet and cold in November. A red blanket makes life warmer. I used different sock yarns and a very thin weaving yarn to get a slightly thicker yarn.
I love letters with sheep on the envelope!
Even more I liked what was in this letter: my Wovember brooches.
Estonian Kihnu Skirt left, UK Cotswold Check right.
My winter jacket wanted the Estonian brooch. My autumn and spring light green jacket wanted the Cotswold tweed. You still have a few days time to buy yours, link to Felicity Ford's shop in previous blog post.
Have you already bought your brooches? I've had difficulties choosing, but now I've done it. I'll show you when they're here.
Great postings about harvesting wool going on in the Wovember blog. Link in my blog list.
If you are in Barcelona Nov 8-9, go and see a beautiful dance performance and listen to great music: Slipping Through My Fingers. My son Jukka will be on stage together with Johan Skugge, so this is a performance with live music. Take a look at the lights also!
The sun is rising outside my studio window. It looks fantastic, but I'd rather have a room where you can see what's happening outside also in the winter. It seems to be a difficult problem to cope with. There is an under pressure in our house, and that's something you can't fix by just changing to new windows. I don't know what you have to do, really, and nobody else seems to know either.
While waiting for Ingrid to find out about the wool she sent me, I show you a better photo of the wool I talked about in my blog post yesterday. I took staples from different parts of the fleeces, and as you can see the crimp varies a lot. Good Finull should have much crimp, and there are such staples in the fleeces. This wool is soft even as unscoured, it feels strong and nice. I'll tease and mix the different qualities, keeping the colors apart, in order to get a yarn of even quality.
Later: I have now gotten the answer to the question about what wool this is: it's Swedish Finull just like Ingrid (who sent me the wool) said. Conclusion: just like other sheep each individual Finullsheep has several types of wool in it's fleece.
If you have wool from several fleeces you can sort out the different types for different yarns and projects. If you have only one fleece you can mix the different types for a bigger project.
It didn't look very blue outside yesterday evening, but my camera saw what I didn't see.
Light brown and black Finull. Together with another batch of Finull, still in Sweden, I'll have enough for a bigger project.
Why is shipping so expensive? Does anyone know?
Some of you have already heard about the fire that destroyd Judith MacKenzie's studio and her looms, wheels, textile samples, books, fibers, furniture, and all the other equipment and tools needed in a textile studio.
There is now a site where you can help: Rebuild Judiths Studio.
I highly value and admire Judith. Her knowledge about spinning, fibers, and textiles is amazing. Just as amazing is her ability to teach and to talk about these fundamental things. I mean, how would our lives be without fibers and textiles? People like Judith MacKenzie has done so much to spread knowledge and skills about textiles, not only how you make the thread textiles are made of, but also about textile history. She is successful in drawing strings to the past and connect people from ancient times with us and our textile world. I love the way she does it while spinning and showing what her skillful hands can do.
We're all happy that Judith was not in the studio when the fire started. It's now clear that the fire started in an electrical panel in the Rainforest Art Centre where Judith's studio was.
Yes, Kasper is always with me. I've had dogs for more than 40 years. It's very difficult to imagine life without dogs.
We still have something to learn.
No, we won't disturbe this new inhabitant of our house. Soon the net will become dusty and it'll start breaking up. Then the spider will move to another place, and we can clean up. Until then we enjoy that masterly piece.
OK, I'm coming. But you better give me that treat!
Sigh... there are GIRLS in the village, why doesn't she understand? My silly human.
Today I got a message that the wool I have been looking forward to has felted on the sheep.
And I have to adjust the lights, I think they are too close. But you can see the lighter gray fibers in that hand combed top!
I spun this alpaca-camel-silk yarn last year. For a long time I didn't know what to make from it, then I thought a very simple pattern would suit the yarn best. The result pleases me very much. It's a strong, soft, floating fabric, lays steady on my shoulders. Anna, a spinner from Sweden, sent me the alpaca for no reason at all. She had washed the raw fibers keeping the fibers in order, so I combed them and spun worsted. I bought a baby camel/silk top from Wingham Wool Work for the second thread. The pattern is Melon Stitch from Sowerby's Victorian Lace Today.

Today I finally move into my new apartment. It seems like the moving process has lasted forever since we were all packed up and ready to go this time last week when Irma decided to change our plans.
I'm hoping I packed everything I need and if not, that's what Amazon Prime and Target runs are for, right?!
I'm using a fair amount of things I already had (like my bedding) but there were also things like a couch that I had to purchase because I didn't have one before. So after a summer of all of it sitting in our bonus room and attic, I'm so excited to finally see all the furniture together and in the space.
I'm definitely not interior designer but I like to think I've watched enough HGTV shows (mostly Chip and Jo) to kinda know what I'm doing. It's funny to look back on my rooms from the last 4 years and see how much style changed. I thought in honor of moving into my graduate apartment today I thought it would be fun to take a little walk down memory lane!
P.S. If you have any questions where anything is from feel free to comment on this post and I will reply, visit the original post to see if I previously linked it, or email me directly (prepavenue@gmail.com)!
Chip and Jo are my favorites, I cannot wait for their line in Target! Your sophomore year dorm room is definitely my fave, but I love them all!

Making this for Memorial Day bbq today!
This is the best recipe ever!!! It definitely won’t serve 8 at my house. Too yummy.
Made this and it was great, but just a little runny. The berries I used were picked from the field the same day and tremendously juicy. I might toss in a bit of flour or cornstarch with the berries next time. Otherwise amazing! I used finely chopped marcona almonds and they were amazing in it — a little extra crunch.
This looks delicious Lori. I love to make crisps when fruits are in season and strawberries are perfect in this!
I’ve been wanting to do something similar but with blackberries. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love strawberries this time of the year! Berry desserts have always been my favorite. Love how nicely browned the oats are on top – can’t wait to go to the store, buy some berries and make this deliciousness!
Crisps are the perfect summer time dessert, and I love how this is gluten-free. Pinning!
Oh, Lori, thank you so much! I am celiac and trying to figure out how to make my favorite apple crisp recipe GF, then you come along with STRAWBERRY crisp. I’m in trouble now. We live just a few miles from one of the biggest you-pick strawberry farms in our state. If the weather continues through May like it has so far, strawberries should be incredible this year. I am going to pick a ton and make some of this Strawberry Crisp. Thank you again. I always appreciate your gluten free alternatives. Keep them coming, please.
I’ve never had a strawberry crisp. I can’t wait to try this!
Can I substitute more flour for the almonds? Hubby has nut allergies.
I’d probably just leave them out.
Mmmm, this is like summer in a bowl! One of my favorite desserts when strawberries are in season.
Yum! We absolutely love good strawberries too! This crisp sounds to die for – I want some right now with some ice cream!
Oh my goodness, it’s finally strawberry season! Yayyy! I don’t think I can make this fast enough. I have some rhubarb I’ll throw in too!
I love strawberry crisp! But love it even more with an almond and gluten-free topping! Such a great idea! Pinned!
Looks pretty easy and tasty, too! Ingredients I have in my pantry for the most part and just add some fresh strawberries!
I’ve had my share of apple crisp, but I’ve never had a strawberry crisp – this sounds delicious! Perfect way to “Summer-ize” a classic recipe! Pinned!

This is what I was afraid of. No response whatsoever on a simple question. I will have to look further for a stable and supported Laravel CMS, which I really think is a shame, because Asgard is a really great system.
What's the action in the form? Can you show the template code for create.blade.php?
RE: How to protect Backend URL?
First let me state that I'm very impressed by Asgardcms and the work the developers have put into it. I've been using it for a small personal project of mine and it's really great.
But before investing time in a new project based on AsgardCMS there is something I would like to ask.
How stable is the future of AsgardCMS. I would hate to start a project based on it, only to find that it has become abandoned in the near future and basically my project is build on the basis of something that is no longer supported.
Can someone from the development team answer this question for me? Maybe share some insight in the future of AsgardCMS?

In some projects, I use uwsgi behind nginx to drive Django. I also use virtualenv to manage my environments (by the way, Panda's introducing .ix and then deprecating it wasn't fun). In a recent update, I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I'm getting the following error message, and a wrong Python interpreter.
It turned out that the problem was in the binary code of uwsgi in my environment. It was compiled for another environment, with the environment path hard-coded in. Yes, in the binary. I had done that in another environment and the compiled package stayed in the pip cache, and the new environment just picked it up from the cache, causing inconsistency!

“Before commencing the build of our new home we spoke to several people who mentioned how much they were loving their Lawrence Built homes and renovations. Each person we spoke to raved about how Scott was the kind of builder who really listened to what you wanted your home to be. We also had the opportunity to stay in an amazing Lawrence Built holiday home at Point Plommer. The design was beautiful and the quality of work was outstanding. We felt very confident that Lawrence Built could give us more than just a cookie cutter house. We wanted a real home that was unique to our family’s needs and coastal lifestyle. We felt certain that a Lawrence Built home would be the right way to achieve our dream.
For us it was important to engage a builder with an established reputation with local knowledge and contacts.
We also wanted someone who would really listen to our ideas but also give us the guidance we needed with design concepts and selections. Most importantly, we wanted someone we could trust to complete our build on time, on budget and to a quality standard.Based on their solid reputation and the rave reviews of their clients, we know Lawrence Built would the only choice!
We wanted a home that suited the land we had purchased. Scott met us on site and discussed in detail the orientation of the home, how much sun would be on the deck at certain times of the day, where windows should be to get the most of the view, and so on. So many kit homes just don’t work for the block on which they’re built. Our Lawrence Built home is a perfect fit for our land.
Scott is a builder who really listens to what you want from your home. The ability to talk to the builder as often as you need for advice on a selection or to make some changes as we went along was another major benefit.


text: As I went to Sweden, I decided to keep on working with textiles and wood in a three-dimensional shape (kind of continuing on my former project that is called Experimental structures) but change to larger scale. I was still interested in how soft and hard materials could be combined together and my goal was to continue on creating a movable, transformable object. I was curious about people's possible interaction with these experimental pieces, how they would react to it if they could set it in motion. I decided to approach the experience of sitting as an active interaction between the body and the object. I have asked myself: what could I add as a textile designer to the theme of seating? I wanted the textile to be part of the construction not just a covering material, but still keeping its softness and flexibility. Trying out different ideas, I experimented with many shapes to find the best combination of the two materials. Merging them into one object, I expected them to strengthen each other’s characteristics in order to achieve a textile sculpture which is transformable and moving. Hence why I decided to work with round shapes so it would be a playful object for the person sitting on it. Going for simple shapes and using the Scandinavian color theme helped me to emphasize the structure and the connection between the two materials.

Phytoplankton live in a complex environment with two essential resources forming various gradients. Light supplied from above is never homogeneously distributed in a body of water due to refraction and absorption from biomass present in the ecosystem and from other sources. Nutrients in turn are typically supplied from below. In poorly mixed water columns phytoplankton can be heterogeneously distributed forming various layering patterns. The relationship between the location and the thickness of the layers is an open problem of interest. Here we present three models which study how competition for light and resources can form common layering patterns seen in nature and investigate how the location and thickness of the layer changes when the motility of the phytoplankton is varied. Using this we study the phenomenon of coexistence of multiple phytoplankton species and the presence of species spatial separation.

This edition contains eight sacred compositions by the Leipzig cantors who were the immediate predecessors of J. S. Bach: Sebastian Knüpfer (1633–76), Johann Schelle (1648–1701), and Johann Kuhnau (1660–1722). They are edited from manuscripts collected by James Sherard (1666–1738), an English apothecary and amateur musician. Five of the works are large-scale vocal concertos, inluding two highly expressive psalm settings by Sebastian Knüpfer; a Magnificat by Johann Schelle that anticipates aspects of J. S. Bach's Magnificat in D Major (BWV 243); and Schelle's Durch Adams Fall, one of the first Lutheran works to combine chorale melodies, Biblical recitation, and arias. The remaining three compositions are virtuosic concertos for solo voice, including Schelle's Ah! Quam multa sunt peccata for alto, and two major additions to the repertory for tenor: Kuhnau's Laudate pueri and Muss nicht der Mensch. The instrumental writing also includes many notable features, such as two early examples of trumpet solos, one piece with scordatura violins, and two with organ obbligatos.

Tell us a little about your book.It’s about a bumbling British former army officer, Major Jeremy Billycock-Smythe, who marries into cash-poor but artistocratic family in Australia and launches an enterprise to save his wife’s historic homestead Rowbottom from bankruptcy. Along the way, he finds and loses some illegal refugees, and seriously annoys his childhood friend, officials in charge of government secrets, and a bunch of high-powered executives. On one level, it’s all satirical. But if people don’t get the satire, hopefullly it’s just funny on another level. There are no American characters but there is an important US link.
Major BS: A Top Secret Mission went that way too.
You can read the first chapter free at http://www.freado.com/player/bookplayer.php?contentid=4763&authorid=3759&preview=1 and you can also download a free sample from Amazon, which is a feature I really like.
Why did you choose to self publish?When I was growing up, my father wrote two or three novels on his typewriter that never saw the light of day. He sent them to umpteen publishers, a fruitless process that took years. I swore I’d never go down that path of frustration and disappointment. I think that publishers today are all about following marketing trends and winning formulas these days anyway – and they are headed to the same place all the books on my study shelves are going in this electronic world: the garbage can. I self publish now because I CAN.
I like the work of US author Carl Hiassen, Irish authors Roddy Doyle and Colin Bateman, Scottish author ian Rankin, British author John Le Carre. I love the way US/UK writer Bill Bryson unearths and plays out amusing anecotes.
I hate the predictable and formulaic.
What time of day do you write best?Any time I have peace and quiet, and my chores are already done.
Do you have a favorite character and why?I like strong characters. Heroes with flaws. In Major BS’s case, he’s much more flaw than hero.

Mr. President, four Americans died in Benghazi, like you give a damn. That is not campaign "stuff" - that's concern about four great Americans and their families wanting answers. That is wanting answers why Ambassador Stevens and the rest of the Embassy did not get protection when they begged for it and they said they couldn't withstand an assault on their compound. That is wanting answers why for weeks you kept implying that this was not a terrorist attack but was caused by a U Tube video defaming [in your words], the prophet Mohammad and the great religion of Islam.
This has been the ugliest cover up in American political history because this scandal involved Americans being killed. President Obama's administration did everything in their power to steer the American people away from the truth. President Obama had an election to worry about and didn't want the truth coming out that would belie his claim that he stated often that Al Qaeda had been decimated and dismantled. It is also the biggest scandal in American history because of the main stream media's ugly participation in the cover-up to protect president Obama. I submit the main stream media may be the worst actor in this whole affair because of their participation in the cover-up. Tell me how this media is any different from the Soviet's Pravda or any third world dictator's media. Baghdad Bob, where are you when we need you?
President Obama told the American people that his administration wouldn't rest "until we make sure that we bring to justice those who carried out these attacks.". He said that was his number one goal.
That was over 5 months ago, Mr. president. So, either that was empty rhetoric on your part or else I must apologize for those who criticized you for going on a break one month into your new administration to play golf with Tiger Woods. You must be dead tired from looking for those terrorists that killed the Benghazi four.
No this isn't campaign stuff president Obama. This is one of the sickest episodes in American history, and for you to make light of it, makes me sick to my stomach.

The flirtatious men can use boat hats to have a clear winning personality to woo all the ladies. These can be used as casual hats as these flatter and wider crowned hats offer higher protection from sun to undertake activities like boating, fishing as also for casual strolling on the sunny beaches. The colourful floral print hats or plain hats with embroidery, formal teardrop crowned hats and commanding navy caps are some of different patterns with a boater. Styling with a boat hat is also clever way to hide hairs on a bad hair day and also look the most well dressed.

Not defined by religion, culture, age or any other sociology.
So how do we as a society help our friends, family, work colleagues or the wider community deal with depression and anxiety.
Medication is often the first port of call, that has been my experience, and it certainly has its place.
Natural remedies such as essential oils, herbal potions and vitamins and minerals can also help create more equilibrium within our systems both for mind and body.
Exercise is definitely at the top of the list. Getting at least 30-60 min a day whether it’s walking, cycling, running, weight training or other activities that increase the heart rate.
Mindfulness or meditation to help rest our thoughts and redirect them.
Well balanced diet rich in veggies and fruit and optimal hydration to help maintain a healthy body plus including protein which is the building blocks for all our cells.
But by far most important change and often the tell tale signs of anxiety or depression is not having a goal to work towards. You’ve given up. You can’t see the wood for the trees and anything beyond how you are feeling feels non existent.
Lack of sleep not only is a precursor to depression but will deepen the struggles and is one of the signs that medication is necessary to supplement other remedies.
So here is when it gets interesting, especially for me.
It is well documented that sleep and routine to help fight depression are one of the biggest steps you can take to help you.
Goal setting on a daily basis.
Routine to help you manage your day.
Knowing that what works for you is going to make you happy.
These two don’t seem to apply!!!!
Routine- helps you get back on track, you know what’s ahead and you can plan, your body thrives on routines and your mind will follow. Routine creates awareness, makes us more efficient, saves time, instils good habit, plus a biggie for mums – builds confidence.
Sleep-helps with anxiety, rests the mind, helps reduce stress, improves memory, lowers blood pressure, helps you maintain a healthy weight and improves your mood. Plus so much more.
Yet for new parents – this is far from reality.
I urge you when a parent has gained courage to ask for help, ask for an alternative with something that isn’t working for them and especially asking about having no sleep, a baby not sleeping or any other challenges that can make a mum feel anxious and depressed.
That there is help out there and that there is another way.
YOU HAVE COPED DOESN’T MEAN THEY WILL OR THAT THEY HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE.
To turn anxiety and depression around is helping change what isn’t working.
Medication can play a part in that change but ultimately the mindset and ways of life also need to change to help them journey into the right direction.

The flavored vodka trend has arrived! In part because of the rise in imaginative multi-ingredient cocktails, but also from the sybaritic searching for new taste sensations. Many imported and domestic brands have responded by pushing the envelope with exotic flavors and infusions in vodka, the most popular white spirit in the U.S.
28 aficionados tasted 35 flavored vodkas in five separate categories: Citrus, Fruit, Citrus Fruit, Coffee/Candy, and Spice/Misc. The judges were informed of the categories and flavors, but the products were served "blindly", without distractions of brand names. The order of service was randomly selected through a lottery system. Each of the flavored vodkas were poured into fresh glasses from new sealed bottles, and served at slightly above room temperature. The judges wrote down their impressions of each product on score sheets. Ice water on the side and plain crackers were available to cleanse the palate. Food was served during a break.
The scoring was done on a 5-point system, with 5 as the best. The totals for each of the flavor categories were added up separately. Gold, Silver and Bronze medals were awarded based on the scores received. The flavored vodka with the most points per category was awarded a Double-Gold Medal.
Nice aroma, true grapefruit flavor, sweet, light, robust.
Sweet, balanced, nice orange flavor, tangerine, tart, complex finish.
Nice aroma, sweet, light flavor, tasty, good mixer, long finish.
Sweet, light, smooth, very fruity, well balanced, stands on its own, fun, adult Hawaiian Punch.
Balanced, sweet, smooth, nice coconut flavor, piña colada, yummy.
Sweet, syrupy, light flavor, delicious, good for mixing, long finish.
Nice aroma, sweet, delicate, yummy, flavorful, mixable, lingering finish.

If you purchased eligible shares from a labour-sponsored venture capital (LSVC) corporation in 2017 or within the first 60 days of 2018, and you are at least 19, you might be able to claim the Nova Scotia labour-sponsored venture capital tax credit.
With this non-refundable credit, you can claim up to $2,000 to reduce your provincial tax payable. The corporation you invested in will issue you a NSLVS form which will show you the credit amount you can claim. Keep in mind, you’ll need to hold onto your shares for at least 8 years, or else you’ll need to pay back your credit amount.
Unfortunately, if your credit amount is more than your provincial tax payable, you won’t be able to carry forward the unused portion to a future year.
Also, if your spouse’s RRSP became the first registered holder of the share(s), either the contributor or the person designated as the annuitant can claim the credit for the share(s).
Before you begin, make sure that you tell us that you lived in Nova Scotia on December 31, 2017.
Under the INVESTMENT INCOME heading, select the checkbox labelled Nova Scotia labour-sponsored venture capital tax credit, then click Continue.
When you arrive at the page for the Nova Scotia labour-sponsored venture capital tax credit, enter your information into the tax software.

Tributes have been paid to former Fianna Fáil junior minister Jackie Fahey who has died aged 91.
Mr Fahey's career, which included national and local politics, spanned almost 50 years.
He was first elected to Waterford County Council aged just 21 and served as a councillor for 45 years altogether.
Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin led tributes to Mr Fahey, who hailed from Clonmel, Co Tipperary.
"Jackie lived a life of public service and represented the people of his constituency at both a local and national level. He served with great commitment and diligence through many turbulent times," Mr Martin said.
"Jackie spent a total of 45 years on Waterford County Council having been first elected to it at the age of 21, and this record alone is testament to the work he undertook across the community, and the respect in which he was held by the people."
The former TD - who served in both Tipperary South and later in Waterford - was one of the famous 'Gang of Five' who lobbied to have Charles Haughey take the helm of the Fianna Fáil party.
Mr Fahey was first elected to Dáil Éireann in 1965 in Tipperary.
He then took a significant gamble in 1977 by switching constituencies after a boundary change and ran in Waterford. He kept his seat with more than 7,000 first preference votes in that election, which was a landslide for the party nationally.
However, by 1979 the mood in the party had shifted against leader Jack Lynch and Mr Fahey was one of five influential rural TDs known as the 'Gang of Five' who began to campaign for Mr Haughey to take over in the event of Mr Lynch's retirement.
In December 1979, Mr Haughey won a leadership contest in the party and became Taoiseach.
Mr Fahey was promoted to Minister of State in the Department of the Environment where he served until 1981.

Sunday Picnics: Always a part of French life in the new world, these affairs continued to the time of my youth. My mother and grandmother told wonderful stories about them. They were ongoing forums for gossip, socializing, news, discussions, eating, drinking, and the occasional “friendly fights” so common to the French culture in the new world.
The American Government: This presented another ambivalence for the now French-Americans which will play into book five. As Jacques Allard told Hamtramck, most French stayed where they were: either in Détroit or Sandwich (now Windsor) with little regard to the government. Again they remained aloof.
Following the old voyageur river trail to the Ohio our heroes arrive at St. Louis, the last real outpost. From there they take the Missouri River to the Great Falls in what is now Montana. During this time the boys learn trapping, trading and the ways of the Native Americans of the West with no small amount of adventure, danger, and some teenage romance.
During my early days of researching Allard family history I was stymied by Jacques Allard. The records of Quebec showed him born in 1746, and my fellow Canadian researchers thought he died at the age of 15, as he disappeared from the Canadian records after the fall of Quebec in 1760. However my research in Detroit showed him married at Ste. Anne on Feb. 7, 1780 and dying in Detroit in 1814. The records of both Quebec and Detroit are filled with census and other records from that time with no trace of him—where was Jacques between 1760 and 1780?? Finally an obscure note found in the bowels of the Burton Library listed him at Fort Pontchartrain with occupation listed as Voyageur! This morsel of information led me to what may be the most exciting adventure in The Allard Series.
When I conceived of writing the history of the Allards, it was the story of Jacques Allard I was most anxious to tell. A young boy, who leaves his family at a critical junction in history becoming a true voyageur and later the first Allard citizen of Détroit, his lifetime encompasses a vital period in the development of Cadillac’s city in the wilderness as well as that of the American nation.
Following the death of his father during the fall of Quebec in 1761, young Jacques Allard leaves his home forever to travel with the famous voyageur, Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau, through the outpost of Detroit to the great west in search of the elusive Northwest Passage. It is here he learns the true ways of the wild, returning to Detroit to find progress disrupted by the Indian wars under the great chief, Pontiac.
Three years later, the peace is brief as American colonists speak of rebellion. Although the French-Canadians are mixed on their allegiance, many like Jacques are certain they dislike the British and travel east to aid the colonists in their quest for independence.
Okay Allard Fans, I’m back ready to blog about BOOK FOUR: THE VOYAGEUR. In addition to discussing the content and related research, I will try to point out what is fact and what ‘could be’ fact.

China’s Recycling Policy Is Making American Cities Take a New Look at Their Trash | "Global Possibilities"
This story was originally published by CityLab and is shared here as part of the ClimateDesk collaboration.
Over recent months, news coverage has depicted China’s National Sword policy as a crisis for recycling in municipalities all over the United States. Since early 2018, China has banned many scrap materials and has not accepted others unless they meet an extremely strict contamination rate of 0.5 percent. (Contamination rates of US recyclables before sorting vary from place to place, but can reach 25 percent or higher.) The decision reflects China’s desire to recycle more of its domestic waste. Previously, China had been the destination for about 40 percent of the United States’ paper, plastics, and other recyclables.
Meanwhile, many municipal recycling programs in the US have suffered. As of January, Philadelphia was sending half of the recyclables it collects straight to the incinerator. Minneapolis stopped accepting black plastics. Marysville, Michigan, will no longer accept eight of 11 categories of items (including glass, newspaper, and mixed paper) for curbside recycling, in order to cut costs. Deltona, Florida, stopped curbside pickup altogether.
Many recycling and solid-waste organizations, as well as the US EPA, have dedicated resources and staff to “identify solutions to be able to help support recycling here in the US,” according to Dylan de Thomas, vice president of industry collaboration at the Recycling Partnership, a nonprofit that gives grants to and works with communities to improve their recycling programs. The EPA, which has typically left leadership on recycling to local governments, held its first-ever recycling summit in November 2018.
This emphasis on outreach suggests a heavier onus on citizens to stop tossing items absentmindedly into the bin, and start disposing of them in a more informed, deliberate way.
DC. also did a pilot program with the Recycling Partnership to provide curbside feedback for residents. On one route, staff left a note behind for residents who had plastic bags in their recycling bin. Another route was the control, and staff did not leave tags. The route that gave residents feedback in the form of tags saw a 19-percent drop in plastic bags over the course of two weeks. The control route? An increase in bags of 2 percent.
What can and cannot be recycled, as well as how recyclables are separated, differs based on where you live. Montgomery County, for example, has a dual-stream model. Residents have to sort their recyclables into two groups: commingled materials (bottles, cans, and containers) and mixed paper (cardboard and paper). Under a single-stream approach, by contrast, residents throw all household recyclables into one bin, separate only from non-recyclable trash. DC has a single-stream system.
Back in Maryland, China’s policy hasn’t led Montgomery County to stop recycling anything. It continues to generate revenues from all the materials it recycles, Kao said, except mixed-color, broken glass, which it pays to recycle because it has little value. The county sells the majority of its bales domestically. In fact, one silver lining to China’s crackdown is a growing domestic market in the US More than a dozen North American paper mills have announced new capacity to process recycled paper, although it will be a few years before all of it comes online.
In any case, there are strategies that local programs can use, either separately or in combination, to find their way back to health and continue recycling waste. China’s policy change may not represent the much-feared “end of recycling” in the US so much as an inflection point.

Since the 1930s, members of the LDS Church have gathered in upstate New York to stage a pageant that depicts the stories in the Book of Mormon. It's a tradition for many families that will soon change. The Church recently announced that it is now discouraging these kinds of productions, and the Hill Cumorah pageant is scheduled to end after the 2020 season.
Last year, filmmaker Curtis Whitear went to Palmyra and met Brett Hilton, an insurance agent cast as Mormon.
Listen to a conversation with former Hill Cumorah Pageant director Gerald Argetsinger hosted by the Salt Lake Tribune podcast Mormon Land.

Wakanda was a cultural embrace- even the sky scrapers looked similar to African huts. The scar tattoo, the lip discs, T’Challa’s jet looking like a Sub-Saharan African mask, the colour and the prints and the comment of Okoye on guns as primitive- everything felt like a breath of fresh air. The young king’s dilemma on his new role, on whether to protect only his country or save the entire oppressed, on repeating his ancestors’ fault of not respecting the kin or righting their wrong- Black Panther throws a lot of questions. The film criticises the past generation for not respecting the tradition enough and sympathises on the lost new generation that are scattered all over the world.
The Killmonger stands for the African American, being born to an African in a White American woman, split between his paternal home which abandoned him and his navel chord to the outer world which nurtured him and his anger together. Killmonger dies with honour and T’Challa this time corrects his father’s mistake. The civil war in Wakanda is easily solved by ‘love’ when Okoye confronts W’Kabi’s giant rhino. What the animal recognised took a while for the war maddened Wakandan to realise. In short, Black Panther tells us that loyalty is not the only thing deserves honour but love too is seminal for one’s own existence.
The film had a very effortless sense of humour by blending the Afro American etiquettes employed brilliantly by Shuri. Her dap and the sneakers joke tell us that you don’t need to be all prim and proper as Bond’s Q to be an inventor. Another important element is the women of Wakanda- unapologetically loyal, fearless and dutiful rather than freezing while on a mission.
Perhaps Black Panther consciously avoided the matriarch side of the Black women in the film because it only comes after their slavery phase. The absence of children in Wakanda was conspicuous. The Jabari king M’Baku stands for putting his country before his revenge; also for not snatching something you should earn by a ritual fight. The inclusion of an American as a CIA agent who has only one task to do in the film was prudent and it helped Black Panther not to seem smug. At last, the covert politics comes out overt as T’Challa speaks in the UN when he says, “We must build bridges, not barriers, to help others”, reminding us of Trump’s Mexican wall.
While Twelve Years A Slave and Get Out show the whining Black man who escapes from the clutches of the White, Black Panther conjures up an African fantasy world which can be a home to the entire world- Vibranium, here, standing for anything and everything that was stolen from Africa by the colonisers (Kareem Abdul Jabbar, hollywoodreporter.com).
Food for thought- Will a film like Black Panther ever be released in India?
Before we brush off the relevance of that question by blaming on the lack of studios and technology of Indian cinema, we must know that we had a Black Panther movement in our history as well. Inspired from the Black Panther movement of U.S, there formed a party called ‘Dalit Panthers’ in the 1970s in Bombay. After all that hullaballoo over Padmavat, do you think a Dalit Black Panther is ever possible in India?
The rest I leave you to ponder.

As part of the LifeMedGreenRoof Project, the Standardisation Directorate in the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA) has held a second workshop to launch the public consultation on the Draft National Standard for Green Roofs.
As part of the EU's 2020 Strategy, which aims to reduce energy requirements by a minimum of 20 per cent by 2020, the Commission's Energy Efficiency Plan 2011 has identified that buildings have the greatest energy-saving potential. The plan focuses on mechanisms to reduce the energy requirements of existing buildings - public buildings in particular - and the role of dissemination projects in introducing energy-efficient measures.
Many countries encourage the dissemination of green roofs because they offer a number of benefits that increase the quality of urban life. Green roofs are considered an important addition in the effort to create sustainable cities but, unfortunately, in Malta they have not as yet gained ground.
The LifeMedGreenRoof project aims at a better understanding of the performance of green roofs, especially in the local context, and to demonstrate the benefits of the technology to a wider audience.
As a project partner, the MCCAA's role is to draft the Green Roof standard for Malta based on the results obtained from research being carried out at the University of Malta, the project's lead partner. To date, the project has identified base line information, including a list of local flora that can be grown on a roof, confirmed that green roofs improve the thermal insulation of buildings and reduce storm water run-off to mitigate flooding. They also provide important habitats and feeding grounds for wildlife, increase ecosystem benefits and provide visual amenity.
Following the workshop that was held in May 2016 that launched the process of developing the national standard, a technical committee comprised of various stakeholders was established and a number of technical meetings (14) have been held in the last six months to draft the standard.
The second workshop, held on 11 January, launched a public consultation on this draft standard, during which technical committee members explained the benefits of green roofs and the technical details of constructing and maintaining them in Malta.
The final standard will be launched at a public event in the coming months.
Further information about the LifeMedGreenRoof project is available from the website www.lifemedgreenroof.org or the LifeMedGreenRoof project Facebook page. The project is partially funded by the EU through Life+, the EU's financial instrument supporting environmental projects and the partners in the project include two Maltese institutions (The University of Malta and the MCCAA), and two Italian (Minoprio Analisi e Certificazioni and Fondazione Minoprio).

When the phone rings we check the caller ID and know that it’s him, that he’s calling to lure her back, calling to beg some kind of forgiveness for his monstrous behavior, I’m sorry, I don’t know what happened, I never meant to hit you, and she whispers something that’s not quite an understanding of his actions, not an excuse, just something. She has kids and they’re scared and that must be dealt with in some way, and she probably thinks that the same mix of mommy, daddy, and kids under the same roof will do the trick.
Time can cure everything, she must be thinking, and he must be so convincing on the other end of the line, his resolutions always hitting the mark, so he knows, too, he does. We can only imagine that the need for normalcy is what she wants. A reconciliation because it’s happened before and we know that he’s begging for it - for redemption as we wait, all of us, all of us in the office have been down this road with her and we imagine what he’s saying. I’ve always been there for you, Flaca… I was there after the first marriage. One of the facts she repeats over and over to us at random times. We can say nothing, nothing in light of what we know, things like don’t pick up the phone, don’t answer 707-1900. When it comes up 707-1900 you can hear breathing in the office, Christ, can someone say, she’s not here, she’s moved out, she’s bought a gun, she’s moved to a shelter or back home, or out of the state? Can someone say that?
It’s ringing now and the number appears. Everyone freezes and we have to leave it to her to pick up the phone. She presses it against her bruised lobe and listens; she’s always listening at this point. Listening for a story line that she can follow, one that she can buy into. In the end what choice does she have? Come on let’s face it? We all pretend not to know that he talking about a fresh start, a line that she falls for every time, and we all secretly hate her with each second, but isn’t it easy for all of us who have never lived inside her skin?
She must have felt different from the beginning, half black, half white, but not only that, Hispanic white, and when there was abuse in her family home when she was a kid she froze in fear with her hands over her ears, eyes closed, until it was over, and later told herself that when she got married it would never happen in her house - that the yelling, the finger pointing, and turning over of unfixed furniture in a flurry, in an unhinged moment, will not be tolerated in her house .Now this – the very thing she fought against.
We see that docile look on her face, like she’s given into the voices of other people; we just don’t know who they are. Listen to us (we want to say), we’d love to set her straight, give her a new script to follow, a new story line, but we all pretend that it isn’t happening (so we say nothing) and when she comes to work the way she does, scared, embarrassed, she smiles as a reflex and we smile back as a reflex (that’s how we communicate.) Can you get this or that file? Something along those lines. Followed by mutual smiles. It’s either that, or its mutual trembling, so she’s on the phone right now and everyone in the office stops what they are doing and leans toward her cubicle, why won’t she tell him it’s over? That she can’t go back? That he should leave for good?
We’re all listening now and she’s silent and her muffled voice with Spanish words, here and there, means she’s given in again, and the phone is hung up with a light click like she never picked up the number 707-1900 – those dreaded numbers. Now all of us breathe again, move freely, go back to what we were doing, go back to hating him, and hating her, hating them both and their kids too, and go on walking by the picture of the five of them held together by a magnet on her monitor. Hating all of them.
Sean’s work has appeared in various literary journals and magazine. He lives in Ojai CA. with a dog, two cats and two humans.

How to get photos into surveys that publish to Server-Hosted Feature Services?
I have a bunch of existing surveys built around existing feature services and related tables, and was wondering what the requirements are to add the capability to take an attached photo with a survey? I've done some searching online and haven't found any documentation on how to do this with surveys writing to an enterprise database.
You would need to make sure that attachments have been added to the feature classes/tables that you want to have image support- this would be done in ArcGIS Desktop. You would then need to republish the Feature Services to 'update' the capabilities. Then you can add image questions to the survey.
I have enabled attachments on my feature classes and tables. When trying to publish these feature services in Arcmap, I include the attachment tables in the MXD, but it never seems like the attachment tables make it through to the feature service. They don't show on my service's rest endpoint. Is this normal, and will I still be able to do images?
Also, What about in my actual survey form, will I need to put the image question in a repeat?
You don't need to have the attachment table in the MXD- the attachment capability is automatically managed via the geodatabase. It will be noticeable by a 'hasAttachments' property in the layer information and the operations 'addAttachments' on the layer.
Yes, you will need to add the image questions in the form once attachments have been enabled.
