The trio of runners drawn to the outside should attract the bulk of the play in this compact optional-claiming field. While they all look fairly well matched in terms of speed figures, I believe that COZZY SPRING (#6) is far and away the best of these fillies. She showed promise as a 3-year-old last season, but it’s clear that she has taken a step forward as a 4-year-old despite losing both of her starts. I felt that she was too conservatively ridden two back when she was rated along on the lead through slow fractions.
Cozzy Spring is best when she is aggressively ridden away from the gate and can use her speed to open up an advantage on her rivals. It appears that Dylan Davis was planning to do this last time, but Cozzy Spring was away from the gate a bit sluggishly and could not match strides with eventual winner Picco Uno in the opening yards. She’s not at her best when she has to stalk, yet she still battled on gamely to be second while fending off the race’s favorite, Holiday Disguise. This time, Cozzy Spring is perfectly drawn in the outside post position, and the TimeformUS Pace Projector clearly indicates that she’s faster than her two main rivals. If she gets away to a daylight advantage early, I don’t think they can catch her.
Greatreviews (#5) is likely to be regarded as the main rival, but I don’t think she’s quite as talented as her published form might suggest. Her blowout win two back came against a very weak field, and the mediocre speed figure that she earned for her last race was not flattered by the subsequent performances of some of the also-rans. Queen Laila (#4) showed promise earlier in her career as a 3-year-old in Southern California. However, I don’t love that she was offered for a tag off the layoff two back. David Jacobson’s barn has been pretty cold over the last few months.

SpaceX recently received a multi-million dollar contract from the Air Force to experiment with connectivity and communication options via satellite constellations in space.
According to Yahoo News, SpaceX won a $28.7 million contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory to experiment with data connectivity entailing ground sites, and aircraft and space assets. The contract was awarded in December 2018, with work scheduled to finish by mid-2021; the work is contracted to be completed in Hawthorne, Calif., where SpaceX’s headquarters are located.
The contract also demonstrates how the U.S. military wants to take advantage of the global broadband access that other star constellations in low orbit provide, similar to the one Elon Musk wants to build for usage in the civilian market.
The experiments that will be conducted with data connectivity “mesh well with SpaceX’s Starlink development effort, which calls for putting as many as 12,000 satellites in low Earth orbit,” Yahoo News says. There’s a chance the first satellites could be launched next year, and the initial data network could be ready to use sometime between 2020-2021.

2Kings 17:35 says “The LORD made a covenant with them and commanded them, ‘You shall not fear other gods or bow yourselves to them or serve them or sacrifice to them.'” It isn’t that we don’t worship God. We do. Our problem is that often we have a personal pantheon of gods. These pantheons are fluid. One day the primary god I worship might be my child’s health, the next day it could be getting a bill paid, and the third day it could be my marriage. These are good things but they are not God. Because they are worthy desires, we are tempted to worship them by believing that they will bring delight to our lives. This magnifies our idols and minimizes God.
While we’re bowing to these other gods, we are paying lip service to the LORD. Because of this intellectual commitment to God we often don’t sense the emotional commitment to our idols. So often our emotional misery in life is tied to the fact that we’re worshiping idols that either can’t do anything for us or gods that are evading us. You see, when God isn’t the only god of my life, when I’m not getting what I want, unhappiness and misery are sure to follow. Our idols are always cruel. Psalm 37:4 is truth we need to get into our hearts: “Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” The LORD is our only sure thing in life. Because of this, anything else we delight in is sure to disappoint. What god are you running after today?
I’ve been more out of the office than in lately. Once again, there are many good articles worth considering.
First, some free stuff (I love free stuff). This month’s free audio book from Christian Audio is Stott’s insightful book “Basic Christianity.” Also Sinclair Ferguson’s wonderful book “In Christ Alone” is free. Finally, Wiersbe’s “Be Equipped (Deuteronomy): Acquiring the Tools for Spiritual Success” is free for the taking.
Based on my limited experience, one of the most difficult things we have to do in life is forgive others. Many of us have a list of personal Hitlers in our lives. Here Tullian illustrates the truth that people who are forgiven, forgive.
As we leave church on a Sunday morning we might very well discuss with our family whether or not we liked the sermon. Tim Challies says that this sort of critiquing isn’t what we should be doing with sermons. As you might suspect, I appreciate what he says.
People who are opposed to Calvinism typically don’t use scripture to argue against it. I suspect this is because scripture is the Calvinist’s home court. Usually the mode of attack is more straw man based. Caricatures, misinformed myths of Calvinism are attacked. Michael Patton discusses twelve common myths about Calvinism. Even those who believe in the doctrines of grace should read what he has to say.
Finally, here is a encouraging post about the power of singing. The piece was written with Sunday mornings in mind, however, I think that the power of gospel-centered music he articulates is available the rest of the week as well.

The Planning Commission sanctioned an outlay of 5 crores for National Service Scheme (NSS) during the Fourth Five Year Plan. It was stipulated that the NSS programme should be started as a pilot project in selected institutions and Universities. On September 24, 1969, the then Union Education Minister Dr.V.K.R.V.Raio, launched the NSS programme in 37 Universities covering all States and simultaneously requested the Chief Ministers of States for their cooperation and held. It was appropriate that the programme was started during the Gandhi Centenary Year as it was Gandhi ji who inspired the Indian youth to participate in the movement for Indian independence and the social uplift of the downtrodden masses of our nation.
Now we have one unit of NSS (Unit no-553) under the technical cell with strength of 100 volunteers. The NSS unit of our college places an active role in shaping our students humane and responsible citizens. The overall aim of NSS is the Personality Development of students through community service. We are conducting special camping programme of seven days duration in adopted places and it provides unique opportunities to the students for group living, collective experience sharing, sharing responsibilities, addressing various developmental issues of regional and national importance and constant interaction with the community.
The Motto of NSS "Not Me But You", reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for self-less service. NSS helps the students develop appreciation to other person's point of view and also show consideration to other living beings. The philosophy of the NSS is well doctrined in this motto, which underlines/on the belief that the welfare .of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of the society on the whole and therefore, the NSS volunteers shall strive for the well-being of the society.
Any student enrolled as a NSS volunteer, should put in at least 240 hours of useful social work in a continuous period of two years (i.e. 120 hours per year). A work diary is to be maintained by each NSS volunteer, which will help him/her in the assessment in his/her performance. Such volunteer is eligible to get NSS Service Certificate from the colleges/University.

We may have had to wait two decades between 1989's Trouble Walkin' and 2009's Anomaly, but Ace Frehley is a busy man these days and won't keep us waiting so long for a new album this time.
Speaking to frequent GuitarWorld.com contributor and blogger Peter Hodgson, Space Ace revealed he was indeed working on a new album and a new book.
“I’ve started working on a new album, I’m writing a new book … there are a lot of good things on the horizon," he said. "At this point, I think it’s just going to be an extension of No Regrets. There’s so much I left out because of the deadline, but after talking with so many different people, I’ve got so many stories that have eluded me over the years. And there just wasn’t enough room to put them into No Regrets, and I was past the deadline as it was."
Ace released his memoir, No Regrets, last year.

When someone asks, what’s our story we usually start with the ERKI fashion show in May 2008. Both of us were models in the same collection, walking the same runway and had never met before. In the backstage, we were chit-chatting with other people in the same collection and suddenly this cute red-headed girl was folding a paper plane out of Tiina candy wrapper using my knee as the table. It did not fly miles but impressed me still. After the show, we exchanged contacts and headed to town. The very next day she sent me an SMS, being concerned that the dance night was too short. I promised to make up for it and go on an actual date with her. A night full of talks, mint lattes, driving around Tallinn in the night, watching the sunrise together and the rest is history. I proposed to her in 2016 and a year later we had our dream wedding in Kolga manor.
The wedding was like us – bit crazy, weird, humble and romantic all at the same time. Family, relatives and the closest friends. Kolga manor is not the prettiest manor in Estonia, quite contrary I would even say. But the place spoke to us already several years ago. Maybe because it’s haunting. The legend says that there is a red-headed lady who bites men at night and then the bitten ones die a year later. Let’s hope it doesn’t hold water.
The sky definitely didn’t. It was pouring cats and dogs all day long with some 10- minute breaks between the showers where we could go outside with Mait and make art. Not just photos, but art. Watching his work is like going to a museum. The epic landscapes, the angles, the people as tiny creatures in this great space of nature. This is why we wanted Mait to capture the day for us. The pictures really bring back the energy and emotions from that day.

On the border between Mingu Province and a sixth-grade province under Zhong Province's jurisdiction, there stood a nameless mountain range.
Hundreds of years ago, Zhong Province's Directorate of Celestials had turned this nameless mountain range into a testing ground for new Oracles, where they carried out experiments for various strange curses, spells, and sacrifices; and even fought with strong demons. It had been inaccessible for a long time.
It was a region riddled with dangers, a barren land devoid of natural products, and a mountain range that neither Mingu Province nor Zhong Province would pay attention to. All year round, novice Oracles from Zhong Province infested this place. No immortals or itinerant cultivators were to be found here; even all the little demons who had just gained their sentience and learned how to cultivate with natural energy had been wiped out. There was nothing worthy of attention in this mountain range that spanned for millions of miles across.
However, as the common people always said — the darkest spot could always be found right beneath a lamp. An itinerant Heaven Immortal named Immortal Gourd had gathered a group of itinerant cultivators and established a pretty large immortal market right within this mountain range. After centuries of development, thanks to the 'protection' provided by those novice Oracles and Immortal Gourd's extraordinary caution, it had become the largest, safest, and most secretive immortal market in both Zhong Province and Mingu Province.
However, Gourd Immortal Market had very strict rules and complex safety regulations. Only immortals introduced by friends who were absolutely reliable could enter it through teleportation formations built in different places. So far, no one had ever found out where the immortal market was located in the mountains, nor who or which powerhouse was behind it.
Deep beneath an unknown mountain, some five hundred miles underground was a naturally formed, gourd-shaped cave. This was where the Gourd Immortal Market was located. The cave measured three hundred miles long, with the smaller part being about one hundred and thirty miles in diameter and the larger part being about two hundred and seventy miles in diameter.
Numerous shops floated mid-air in the huge gourd-shaped space, divided into nine distinct levels from top to bottom.
The shops on the topmost level were all tall, luxuriously built buildings that looked as grand as palaces, owned by the most powerful immortal leagues and cultivator clans in Zhong Province and Mingu Province. One of the most luxurious shops with nine courtyards and four miles around was the 'Myriad Immortal Palace', which was owned by, unsurprisingly, the Myriad Immortal Alliance. Its main business was the selling all kinds of flying swords and magical artifacts, as well as the buying all valuable natural treasures.
From top to bottom, the shops shrunk in size, and those at the lowest level were simply small, two or three-storied buildings made of green bricks that looked ordinary. These shops were effectively the strongholds of some weaker itinerant cultivators, who were here to do some small business in order to earn energy stones for cultivating. And whenever they were lucky enough to purchase valuable treasures, they would immediately send them to shops owned by those powerhouses such as Myriad Immortal Palace in exchange for large sums of energy stones and immortal stones.
The whole Gourd Immortal Market consisted of about seven thousand shops. The vast space was divided into nine levels from top to bottom, each separated by streets condensed from clouds. The space between shops was wide enough, and with the complex defensive mechanisms in place, all guests' privacy was well protected.
It was clear that Immortal Gourd had spent a lot of effort and money here, for he actually obtained hundreds of giant stone pillars from Directorate of Celestials and erected them on the streets on all levels. Dazzling green light filled the cave, rendering all invisibility magic or escape arts completely useless. In addition, these pillars also connected with underground spirit flames, forming a powerful Earth Fire Formation. If anyone dared to create trouble here, hundreds of stone pillars would shower the troublemaker with green fires that could melt even ordinary Gold Immortals instantly.
With such tight protection, there had never been an accident in centuries since the Gourd Immortal Market was built.
Sitting in the backyard of a small palace on the third level of Gourd Immortal Market, Lu Buwei flipped through a thick ledger placed in front of him as he mentally calculated all the income and expenses for the month, while jotting down lines of numbers in another. Gradually a smirk of satisfaction appeared on his face. Shaking his head and humming a little tune, he pleasingly jotted down the last few numbers in the ledger.
After being badly injured in the Dark Abyss and forced to flee for his life, it took Lu Buwei almost no time to get himself into Gourd Immortal Market with his extraordinary approach and ability. At first, he took temporary shelter as a shopkeeper in an ordinary shop; when he had spent a year mending his wounds, he killed the owner and his whole family, seizing their souls to reform his heavenly ghosts.
With his extraordinary business skill, Lu Buwei thrived in Gourd Immortal Market in just a few years, turning a medium-sized shop on the seventh level into a large trading shop on the third level. At present, his 'Spring and Autumn Trading' employed hundreds of people, including dozens of Heaven Immortals; his monthly income in the form of energy stones and immortal stones was astronomical.
The Lu clan who stayed in outer heavenly realm had also sent a large number of elite experts to Pangu Continent in the past few years. Secretly, Lu Buwei gathered his people and made them set up shops in Gourd Immortal Market, instructing them to do all kinds of business outside at the same time. On the surface, Lu Buwei had only one shop; but in fact, there were eighteen large trading shops controlled by his people in this immortal market alone.
The eighteen shops were originally owned by the itinerant cultivator clans in Pangu Continent. But, Lu Buwei had gradually infiltrated and eroded their power by various shameful means. Of the over five thousand people from these clans, only about a thousand were left now, who had turned into Lu clan's slaves and lackeys with their souls controlled by him.
Lu Buwei's ability to rebuild such a large business in such a short time was truly amazing.
After verifying the current month's income and expenses, he opened the door of a secret room and put all the ledgers in it. He spent some time in the room to admire the heaps of immortal stones and valuable treasures, before laughing triumphantly and leaving. Being in a good mood, Lu Buwei went back to his bedchamber and told his juniors to bring the few girls who had just been sent to them yesterday, and then took some time to spend his seeds on them.
These girls were all very beautiful, captured from the Featherman tribes and sold as slaves by some slave traders amongst the immortals. Lu Buwei had an unusual appetite for girls, so when he saw them, he bought them at once. Today was the first time he had enjoyed these unfortunate girls.
After torturing the girls to his heart's content and seizing their virginity in the most brutal way, Lu Buwei, in an even better mood, took a shower and dressed himself up like a wealthy landowner; he then waddled into the lobby of his shop to entertain the customers with great hospitality.
The shopkeepers and assistants in the lobby were all the younger generations in Lu Buwei's family. When they saw their Patriarch coming into the lobby to personally entertain the customers, they immediately used the best attitude to attract customers, lest Lu Buwei caught them in the wrong.
Spring and Autumn Trading was very lucky today. Within a quarter of an hour of Lu Buwei's arrival in the lobby, more than a dozen itinerant cultivators came here to sell the spirit herbs they had harvested, which included several rare herbs of great value. Lu Buwei generously offered them good prices and brought all the spirit herbs. One of them, Violet Dragon Blood Fruit, was worth 100,000 times as much as all the energy stones he paid!
Violet Dragon Blood Fruit was an upper-grade spirit herb that could be used to concoct Gold Immortal pills, but Lu Buwei only bought it for the price of an ingredient used to concoct middle-grade Heaven Immortal pills, along with several other herbs of similar quality. The profit he made from this single deal was simply incredible!
Just as Lu Buwei was returning to the backyard with a few spirit herbs in his hands for a closer look, Patriarch Yuan Hua, his face gloomy, followed an itinerant Heaven Immortal slowly through the front door of Spring and Autumn Trading. Lu Buwei's body gave a sudden shiver. He took a deep breath and said to himself, "How could there be such a strong smell of blood? It would be very beneficial to my Heavenly Ghost Grand Magic!"
Patriarch Yuan Hua shuddered, too. He stopped to look at Lu Buwei, then pricked up his eyebrows in surprise and said with a nod, "He has actually formed the body of heavenly ghosts? Hehe, if I can have tens of thousands of heavenly ghosts guarding my sea of blood, its power will be able to increase at least a hundredfold! And, my Blood-draining Ghost Flag also needs a lot of fiends and heavenly ghosts inside. I was worried about where to find those heavenly ghosts, and here's where I finally find them!"
Hundreds of feet apart, Lu Buwei and Patriarch Yuan Hua stared at each other as if they were lovers reunited after a long separation.
It was only after a full quarter of an hour when Lu Buwei dropped his spirit herbs and hurried out of the door to bow to Patriarch Yuan Hua with a cupped fist. "It is my honor to have someone as prestigious as you visiting my shop! Please forgive me for not welcoming you earlier!"
Patriarch Yuan Hua was grinning from ear to ear as he said, "We are destined to meet each other! Fellow Daoist, if you can work together with me in terms of cultivation, it will be of great benefit to both you and me! Hahaha, the combination of Blood Sea Grand Magic and your countless heavenly ghosts will certainly bring us the Great Dao!"
After a moment of pondering, Patriarch Yuan Hua threw out a question, "Fellow Daoist, if you are willing to acknowledge me as your master, I'll teach you all the secrets of Blood Sea Grand Magic. What do you think?"
With his body of heavenly ghosts, Lu Buwei was actually the best candidate to cultivate the Blood Sea Grand Magic. Patriarch Yuan Hua was all alone now, and he genuinely wished to take in some disciples. He knew very well that in order to complete his tasks, he must have several disciples with him.
'Acknowledge him as my master?' Lu Buwei thought as he knitted his eyebrows into a tight frown. After all, he was the Patriarch of his own clan, and had his own ambition. So, how could he acknowledge someone as his master so easily?
Patriarch Yuan Hua did not persuade further with words. Instead, he smiled and released all his power; the enormous pressure forced Lu Buwei back a few steps.
Lu Buwei looked at Patriarch Yuan Hua in astonishment and delight, then hastily bowed to him and said, "That's a good suggestion! Senior, please come to my shop to discuss in detail!"
Patriarch Yuan Hua burst into laughter as he strode into the shop, paying no more heed to the itinerant Heaven Immortal who had brought him here.

text: (Natural News) Meditation is often thought of as a simple way to relax and clear your mind — and no one would ever try to argue that point. But, it turns out that the benefits afforded by practicing meditation extend far beyond the ephemeral. Indeed, long-term health benefits can be had, by just taking a few minutes a day to spend on your inner self. The impact of meditation on patients struggling with hypertension (high blood pressure) has recently shed light on how beneficial taking that time for yourself can really be.

Recruitment from Sri Lanka is very simple and straight forward. Perhaps; one of the easiest country from the Asian region to hire manpower at the shortest possible time. Approvals to hire can be obtained within a day and the rest of the process in search of suitable candidates depends on the strengths of the agency. Deployment process, after receiving the visa, would be merely 01 or 02 days, to obtain approvals from the SLBFE.
The entire foreign recruitment process in Sri Lanka is governed by the rules and regulations of Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign employment (SLBFE). This institution was established by a special act of Parliament to oversee and regulate foreign employment trade.
It is mandatory to obtain approvals from respective Sri Lankan missions overseas prior to the commencement of marketing the vacancies, searching for candidates and hiring manpower from Sri Lanka. The employer concern has to obtain said approvals, providing required job order documents, which would be explained in the job order documents down load page.
Currently Sri Lanka Bureau had implemented a Web based Recruitment System (WRS) for most of the countries hiring Sri Lankan manpower in bulk. WRS is operative in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Bahrain, Cyprus, Jordan, Lebanon. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar.

In the first part of the series, we have shown how to install Debian Linux on a compact flash in one of our system: the OpenBrick-E 600Mhz Celeron-M. In this second installment, we will show how to configure Linux to minimize the "wear-and-tear" of a compact flash. Similar strategy is used in Embedded Linux areas. The next part, the third of the series, describes the setup of a Java Application Server; specifically the OpenVPN-ALS, used to be called Adito, which provides the SSL VPN services.
Our strategy is rather simple. There are many places on the filesystem that will experience a lot of updates, specifically the /var/log and the /var/spool directories. We will move these into the tmpfs which is like a ramdisk.
So, the first thing we did after the first boot up is to create a /var/log_compressed directory to store the compressed log and spool files. You will probably recognize that we have "borrowed" this idea from the IPCop people.
During boot up, it copies the compressed log and spool files to the ramdisk.
During shutdown, it makes copies of the current log and spool directories and stores them back on the flash drive.
echo "Starting script flash.up "
echo "Completing untar the log and spool files to ram disk..."
echo "tar the log and spool files from ram disk to /var/log_compressed..."
And make it a start-up file the "Debian" way.
Since we also want to keep a record of the log and spool directories, a cron is configured to back them up once every hour onto the flash memory.
Remember to make the cron file executable or it does not work!
The final step is optional. Logrotate is used to make a backup of the log and spool once a day.
Make sure to reboot after all of the changes!
The Compact Flash Linux images can be downloaded from http://www.hacom.net/catalog/pub/debian. They are similar to what was outlined in these articles. Except, they were actually built using debootstrap.
Using some of the simple changes, we have limited the writes onto the compact flash about once an hour. Even with the 100,000 lifetime re-write cycles, it should last more than 10 years. Our compact flash Linux is working in similar fashion as a "standard" flash-based embedded Linux system. The main difference is that we have more available flash memory. In most embedded systems, since flash memory is limited, they tend to use the wear-leveling technology in a filesystem like jffs2, to lengthen the live of flash memory.
For the compact flash Linux, further optimization would be to mount the root filesystem as read-only. Our experience has indicated that it is not neccessary.
Now, we can start to install packages to make the compact flash Linux into: firewalls/routers, database server, web server, or Java application server. The next part of the series does just that. It describes the setup of a Java Application Server; specifically the OpenVPN-ALS, used to be called Adito, which provides the SSL VPN services.

A family in Texas is saying... they've found Jesus in a cheese snack.
A Dallas couple, Sarah and Dan Bell, were leaving town and stopped to fill up their tank with gas.
They went inside to grab some snacks, and picked up a bag of Cheetos brand cheese snacks.
Moreover, they say it looked like Jesus!
The two have decided to name the snack "Cheesus."
They joked about putting Cheesus on E-bay, but they say they'll probably just eat it anyway.

Boo. We should get captivate.
What is the difference between Captivate 7 and Captivate CC?
It also seems like a “bait and switch” … get people committed to using Captivate on the monthly plan (with existing work to maintain) , then remove that option and multiply their costs. It’s the Heroin Dealer Model of running a business.
Just so that you know: we’ve been using Captivate for many years, but can’t justify the cost of upgrading all of our potential users ( designers/programmers, who use it a lot, and business staff who use it only very occasionally when building new modules for their own dept.) to the latest version.
The monthly subscription looked like an ideal solution to this – get the regular users onto an annual subscription, and pay monthly for the times when someone else needs it for a particular job. But when we went to try to sign up, we found that it has been withdrawn.
I have a feeling that Adobe are trying to kill off Captivate by driving its users elsewhere. I’ve switched to Lectors Inspire.
I purchased a month-to-month Captivate subscription on Jan 10. I received NO notification during the purchase process that the option was no longer going to be available 4 days later. When I contacted Adobe today to ask why my month-to-month subscription kept deactivating itself, they send me a link to this article. I never received any email notification about this. Truly astonishing lack of communication on Adobe’s part.
Go to http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate ; click on the yellow ‘buy’ button on the top right. Then click on the drop down next to ‘I want to buy: ‘ and select ‘Subscription’.
I know this is out of your department, but the user interface to buy the subscription on the website is TERRIBLE. The options are in tiny fonts, the drop-down combo-boxes lack contrast to the background and the options to BUY or SUBSCRIBE are almost invisible.
The Adobe sales are clearly hurt from this interface. The selection options should be white or gray, about 2X taller and further apart. I snapped an image for this process below because the website interface almost guarantees that people don’t see the subscription option.
Adobe needs to look at how poor the usability of this really is. Take a look at Southwest Airlines and book a flight. Super clean where the options are needed on the Southwest site. Adobe, you can do so much better and maybe improve sales of all products that have options by fixing this too.
The process to convert from my existing subscription to a the one-year plan is not easy or convenient. Why can’t you simply use the credit card that is being billed already? Now I need to put in a request with my finance dept again, causing a significant delay. Also, it would be helpful if the “Buy” link above went to a page where you can BUY the product.
Under this plan, if you only need Captivate for two months (for example) and then you want to cancel, you pay $120. Adobe charges 1/2 of the annual fee for subscription cancellation before 12 months. Bleh.
I enjoyed the free trial but the program still needs some work, like more templates or options to customize buttons and such.
When, I wonder, will Captivate become part of the Creative Cloud package?
I sometimes wonder if Adobe is losing the plot by continuing its never-ending search for new ways to upset hitherto loyal customers?
Does it mean that even if I don’t use captivate for say, 2 consecutive months, I would be / have paid the fees for that period?

I’ve been too busy to focus on this “favorites” exercise for awhile but I’m so close to finishing the Eighties and tackling another decade long list that I just have to dig in and give it another 100%. As always, first a list of movies I’ve seen and those I probably should still get around to seeing.
I remember seeing Batman in the theater during college. Being before the Internet if you wanted to argue over whether Michael Keaton was an inspired or awful choice for the lead role, you had to do it in person with people in the geographic vicinity of you. How quaint! I also remember coming out of the theater and being interviewed by the local news about my reaction (I’m sure they interviewed others too – I don’t even remember if they used my footage on-air or not). I do remember saying “yes” as to whether I liked it but I can’t remember what I said when the reporter asked “why”. Hopefully something that made sense. I still like this Batman best of all. I enjoyed the newer trilogy of Dark Knight movies but they did take themselves so incredibly seriously. I think Tim Burton took it seriously enough but struck a more pitch perfect tone for what is ultimately a fantasy tale.
I also loved the dark, cynical War of the Roses movie (quite a different film than the co-stars previous Romancing the Stone movie. Quite coincidentally when I moved to Washington DC in the nineties my first apartment was in a building just down the street from the Vermont Circle mansion that was supposedly the inspiration for the movie. The couple that lived in this mansion had in fact divorced (I think in the eighties) and the judge had let them split occupancy of the house. What was really coincidental was that the couple had finally gotten around to selling the now falling-apart mansion and the woman had an “estate” sale so I, along with the rest of the public who noticed, got to inside and look around at some of the stuff for sale.

Meat-and-cheese trays make an appearance on the buffet table at many family gatherings, graduation celebrations and parties. But they can be pricey. If you're tired of paying the big bucks for deli-produced meat-and-cheese trays, or you hunger for a custom charcuterie creation, a homemade platter is just the ticket. By pairing the proper meats with the correct cheeses and adhering to some basic folding techniques, your meat-and-cheese trays can rival anything made by the professionals.
Cold cuts for a meat-and-cheese tray can range from basic to unusual. For a basic platter, start with three types of meat such as baked ham, turkey and roast beef. Change it up a bit by replacing the roast beef with corned beef or pastrami. Alternatively, exchange the typical oven-roasted turkey breast with a honey-roasted or smoked variety, or substitute thin slices of deli chicken breast.
Cured meats are more extravagant and offer a sophisticated flair to the typical meat-and-cheese tray. Create a charcuterie platter with a combination of three or four thinly sliced meats such as prosciutto -- Italian cured ham; Genoa salami, capicola -- made from pork shoulder soaked in brine and then cured; soppressata -- dry-cured sausage; mortadella -- Italian bologna; or pepperoni.
If you're creating a basic meat-and-cheese tray of ham, turkey and beef intended for sandwich fixings, opt for thin slices of traditional cheeses such as American, Swiss, pepper jack, Colby or muenster. These cheeses -- particularly the white variety -- also are a suitable complement to corned beef or pastrami.
When pairing cured meats with cheese, offer cheeses with a variety of textures that range from soft to hard. For example, plain fresh or marinated mozzarella, brie or Edam cheese are a fitting contrast to salty, whole-muscle cured meats such as prosciutto. Also provide a semi-soft cheese such as Havarti, provolone or Gouda, and a hard/sharp cheese such as white cheddar or Parmigiano-Reggiano. If you are serving a spicy meat, offset the heat with ricotta or goat cheese.
When you are making a meat-and-cheese tray with slices of cold cuts, the Gordon Food Service website suggests four basic methods for folding the slices for display on the plate.
Rolling method. Start at one end of a piece of meat and roll it in until it reaches the other end. Ensure that you place the meat on the try seam-side down.
Single fold. Start at the short end and fold the slice in half.
"S" or fold accordion-style fold. For the "S" fold, think in terms of "thirds." With the piece of meat lying flat in front of you, fold one-third of the slice so it lines up evenly with one edge, and then fold the top third of the slice in the opposite direction so it resembles an "S" shape.
Ruffle fold. Do the basic "S" fold for the ruffle, except fold the slice of meat in half again. However, the ruffle fold does not work well with smaller pieces of meat.
There are several ways to arrange a meat-and-cheese tray. A basic method is to place a layer of fresh parsley or kale around the outside edge of a large, round tray. Divide the plate into sections by placing one type of meat in a fan shape in one section, followed by one type of cheese. Alternate the meats and cheeses until the tray is filled. Garnish the center section with cherry tomatoes for a splash of color. The meat-and-cheese sections also can be divided by a very thin layer of parsley or kale, if desired.
Alternatively, if the meat-and-cheese tray consists of salty cured meats and cheeses, counterbalance the salt with a sweet center garnish such as dried apricots or nuts such as cashews, almonds or spiced pecans. The green garnish is not necessary for a charcuterie tray, as these types of meats and cheeses present better in a more rustic arrangement.
Place bowls of juicy accompaniments next to the meat-and-cheese tray. Offering such things as olives, capers, marinated artichoke hearts, pickles, melon, fresh pineapple or honey on the side keeps the juices from saturating your meats and cheeses.

Whether you have a timeline or just want to know your options,we can help.
They're your eggs. Know your options.
Your body makes the best quality eggs in your twenties. Egg freezing lets you take them with you and take control of your biological clock.
Together we’ll discuss any questions,review your medical history, and run a few simple tests (a blood test and a pelvic ultrasound),to count your antral follicles. These “resting follicles” each contain an immature egg that has the potential to mature and ovulate in the future. From there, we’ll be able to predict how many mature eggs you might get at your egg retrieval.
Based on your initial consult, we’ll choose from over fifteen treatment protocols the one that’s best for you. Our goal is to help all your follicles grow together, so we can retrieve the most high quality eggs possible.
For most patients, stimulating follicle growth requires 2-3 self-injected, daily hormone medications – don’t worry the needles are tiny! There is also a “minimal stimulation” approach, with fewer injections. We’ll monitor progress through blood tests and ultrasounds. The final step is a special “trigger” shot that prompts your eggs to reach final maturation before retrieval.
36 hours later, we retrieve your eggs. It’s a 20 minute procedure under general anaesthesia, followed by an hour of recovery. Most patients take the rest of the day off to rest, and are back to their normal routine the next day. Meanwhile, your eggs will be safely stored with us until you’re ready to use them.
With age, women have fewer eggs and a higher ratio of abnormal to normal eggs.
Your antral follicle count is one of the best predictors of your fertility potential and when you might want to freeze your eggs. At your first consult, we’ll assess yours and discuss your future family building goals then form a plan together.
We believe everyone should have access to fertility treatments. That’s why we offer a no interest plan with no down and monthly payments.
Freeze our recommended number of eggs and we’ll guarantee a successful pregnancy when you come back to use them, or your money back.
Curious about egg freezing and whether it’s right for you? Your first consult is the best way to know your options. Together we’ll make a plan that’s right for you.
Did you know...nearly 1 in 10 IVF babies come from donor eggs? For some people, donor eggs are their only option to conceive. Pay it forward and your costs can be covered. Preserve your options while helping others achieve their dreams of a family.
Options. You may not be ready to be a mom yet but want to preserve that option. Egg freezing provides the greatest opportunity to have a baby using your own eggs instead of donor eggs in the future. Freezing your eggs is about giving yourself some peace of mind and minimizing stress,so you can pursue your goals. It’s okay, now we can hit snooze on that biological clock.
Yes. Numerous studies investigating the long term consequences of ovarian stimulation show little to no significant risk. Serious complications are rare. Most women report mild bloating and fatigue.
We recommend numbers of eggs based on your age,reproductive history, ovarian reserve and family building goals. Everyone is different and your unique situation will help us arrive at an appropriate number for you, but we generally recommend 20 eggs for women under 35 and more for women over 35. For older women, this may mean multiple cycles,depending on your ovarian reserve.
What happens when I’m ready to use my eggs?
When you’re ready, your eggs are thawed, fertilized with sperm, and ultimately transferred back to your uterus as embryos.

Romania’s Adriana-Maria Matei and Beata Vaida spoiled an otherwise all-Brazilian semifinal party at the Miguel Pereira One Star on Saturday.
The fifth-seeded European pair, which has already secured its best ever FIVB World Tour finish ahead of a fifth place at the Aalsmeer One Star in October, earned its spot in the final four with a tiebreak win (15-21, 21-17, 16-14) over Brazilians Vitoria/Juliana Simoes in the quarterfinals. The team began is day with a crushing straight-set win over Jenny Stralman/Therese Stralman of Sweden in Round 1.
Brazilians Naiana/Rachel, Taina/Victoria and Aline/Diana round out the race for the podium.
Top seeded Taina Silva Bigi/Victoria Lopes Pereira Tosta are looking for their first FIVB gold medal after joining forces in December 2016 and playing only in continental and national events. Taina played her first FIVB event of the year, the Itapema Four Star with a different partner, Rebecca, last weekend.
No. 13 Aline Lebioda/Diana Bellas Romariz Silva and No. 14 seed Naiana Rodrigues de Araujo/Rachel Nunes are making their first FIVB World Tour appearances as pairings.
Naiana/Rachel played through a pair of straight set wins over Chile’s Paula Vallejos/Rivas Zapata (Round 1) and countrywomen Talita Calixto Simonetti/Hegeile Almeida dos Santos (quarterfinals).
Aline/Diana earned a free pass to the quarterfinals with a pool title on Friday and took out Columbia’s Diana Rios/ Yuli Ayala in an extra-point tiebreak to make the semis. Aline/Diana won 21-11, 19-21, 20-18.
On the men’s side, a Brazilian sweep of the podium is guaranteed as all four semifinal spots are held by duos from the host country.
No. 6 Ramon Ferreira Gomes/Alvaro Marcelino Santos Andrade, No. 10 Rodrigo Vieira Bernat/Harley Marques Silva, and qualifiers Vinicius Rezende Costa Freitas/Luciano Ferreira de Paula and Felipe Cavazin Numasawa/Vinicius Gomes Cardoso de Araujo make up the field.
Bernat/Harley are the lone team of the four to play in Round 1 on Saturday morning, besting Columbia’s Edgardo Cuello/Yhan Cuesta in straight sets to set up a quarterfinal meeting with fellow Brazilians Oscar/Leo Gomes.
All four quarterfinal matches went the distance, with Vinicius/Luciano and Ramon Gomes/Alvaro rebounding after dropping the opening set. Vinicius/Luciano took out the lone non-Brazilian team remaining in Austria’s third seeded Jorg Wutzl/Simon Fruhbauer.
This is the second FIVB tournament for Vinicius/Luciano, who finished 49th at the Huntington Beach Open on May 6. The other three semifinalists are new pairings.

I seldom get a doubt about this. On what basis people call a Perfume as a classic. Is it because of the notes used or its because of the price or any other reasons for it?

The new Black Opium fragrance from YSL sold out in 3 days on their website. They have more limited stock available. Anyone tried this yet?
Tommy Bahama is launching a fragrance called Island Life. There will be a version for women and men. The women's version will have top notes of juicy pear, sparkling mandarin and star anise; a heart of white rose, peony and peach blossom blooms, and a drydown of vanilla bean, sandalwood and musk. The men’s version has top notes of bergamot, artemisia and tarragon; a heart of geranium and nutmeg, and a drydown of patchouli, cedarwood, vetiver and ambrox.
Ariana Grande will debut her first fragrance later this year. It's set to be released in September. No word on the actual scent yet.
I got a sample of this Elizabeth and James Nirvana White fragrance from Sephora. It's exclusive to Sephora. It's a feminine scent with peony. I find it fresh and not too over powering for day time. It's not too sweet either (I don't care for really sweet scents). I'm looking forward to using up this sample. Not sure if I would buy it after the sample runs out but for now it's a nice scent to add to my rotation of fragrances. Anyone else tried this? What are your thoughts?
Hi, I'm looking for perfume/shower gel/lotion scent dupes! I know that Urban Planet and the buck store have 'impressions' of popular scents but I'm looking for stuff that smells similar. I'm currently looking for a dupe or something similar to NEST Amazon Lily.

So I saw this on a friend's facebook and I had to toss it up here. Man, is it good. As a side point, I think I might be setting a blogging record for myself for how many posts have been added lately.
The idea of cultivation and exercise, so dear to the saints of old, has now no place in our total religious picture. It is too slow, too common. We now demand glamour and fast-flowing dramatic action. A generation of Christians reared among push buttons and automatic machines is impatient of slower and less direct methods of reaching their goals. We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy by attending another gospel meeting or listening to another thrilling story told by a religious adventurer lately returned from afar.

In February 2016, the Granite State’s House rejected legal weed in New Hampshire. Two of three House Bills that proposed legalized marijuana got shot down by the House.
House Bill 1675 would have allowed personal possession of just over two pounds of marijuana for adults 18 and older. The bill would have allowed six plants for personal use as well as retail marijuana sales. House Bill 1694, which was also shot down, would have legalized the personal possession of up to one ounce of marijuana for folks 21 years and older. The bill also would have authorized growing and using industrial hemp.
Both of the bills would have brought substantial tax revenue to New Hampshire, but the House rejected the notion just the same.
Despite the state’s motto, Live Free of Die, New Hampshire is the only New England state that has yet to decriminalize weed. This seems odd given that a study done in 2015 revealed that 60% of the state’s voters support legal marijuana.
All hope is not lost, however. Two bills, House Bill 1610 and House Bill 1631 still seek to legalize or, at the very least, decriminalize pot respectively.
Each year, New Hampshire spends millions of tax dollars arresting, prosecuting, and sentencing people who possess and use pot. Right now, it appears that the trend will continue but, so long as Granite Staters, continue to demand these bills make it to the house, then there is a good chance the tide will turn.

Congenital Heart Disease | Adventures of a Funky Heart!
Can a woman with a heart defect bear a child?
The answer is… perhaps. The question varies from woman to woman. Having a defect does increase the chances of having a child with a heart defect, and I am sure that is a “gift” that no parent wants to pass on. Perhaps the better question is should a woman with a Heart Defect attempt to get pregnant?
I can’t answer this question… you need to discuss this with your Cardiologist. Sometimes a defective heart can’t take the stress of nine months of pregnancy. Other times, with the help of a OBGYN trained in high risk pregnancies, the mother can have a child. And there are women who have a CHD who won’t need any extra precautions at all. As I have said before, every heart defect is a little different, and affects the owner differently. A friend of mine should not, under any circumstances, get pregnant… but she and her husband are exploring other options. She’s on her way to becoming a momma, just taking a different path. I’ve met Heart Moms who are really Heart Moms – they’re the one with the defective heart. I’ve met young women who are supremely frustrated because their Cardiologist keeps telling them it would be a bad idea, and I have met childless women who seem to be at peace with their situations.
The bottom line is that all CHDers – male and female – are best served by looking after themselves. Our health challenges are so specialized that “sometimes the important things don’t get said.” It’s your health, your body, and you have to look out for yourself. The only exception is when you are young; then it’s your parents job to ask the questions. And teach you how to do the same when you grow up.

1) The premise of the question is flawed. Contrary to what some might think, not everything is on the web. Some material is, obviously ("China is over there. Farther. Little to the left. Up. There."), but certainly not all or even most. The depth of research in GURPS historicals is frequently such that the authors have to pick up dusty old books and page through things which haven't been digitized and exposed to the web for free nor are they likely to be any time soon, or to hit up journals and new books which are still behind paywalls or are undigitized and available only through libraries. You can Google for information on the historical topic, but you'll never find everything you get in a GURPS book on the web, or even from readily available and non-specialist books.
2) Being on the web doesn't make it right. Although easily available sources can give you a decent overview of a subject, individual facts can be suspect. For example, if you do a web search on the origins of paper, just about every source attributes the invention of paper to a Chinese emperor at the dawn of the second century AD. Although that's a widely held traditional belief, much deeper digging into less accessible sources puts the invention of paper at some point in the first century BC. Some topics are more prone to error than others; on-line accounts of historical weapons and armor, for example, are often full of breathless exaggerations and poor scholarship repeated as articles of faith.
3) There's also GURPS content. If you're playing GURPS, presumably you'll need GURPS stats at some point. Some is likely available (What's the top speed of an Albanian Z-22 fighter jet produced during the Cold War? About how big is a Hanseatic man-o-war?) or can be easily generated (for example, HP for any item follows from weight; if you know how big that man-o-war is, you can get hit points), but some stats require a bit of thought and judgement by someone who knows GURPS rules. What's the DR of that Hanseatic ship, and how much damage does the Z-22's 26mm cannon do? The GURPS author takes care of that for you.
4) Even for non-game-stat information which is available on-line, there are important functions of filtering and anticipation. GURPS authors don't just find information and hurl it at you. Believe it or not, there's considerable thought about what is and isn't included. Writing sourcebooks for historical games is a strange mix of technological, political, military, economic, and cultural history which you're unlikely to find in other fields (Some come close; there are writers' guides for historical periods to aid the author of, say, neo-Austen Gothic novels and Sherlock Holmes pastiches, but they tend to lack sufficient coverage of hitting people to be really useful for RPGs). Authors go through diverse sources for information particularly relevant to composing adventures and putting players into the mindset of natives to a place and time period. Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence could have presented extended summaries of various literary works, but it didn't. Instead, it spent pages on describing what PCs would be likely to eat, what people would be likely to wear, what people they might meet would talk about, what they'd do for fun, and other stuff they'd need to know if they were living there. You're paying for the work of doing the research, getting what you need, taking out what you don't, and getting it into a neat, edited package instead of spending countless hours doing background instead of working on specific adventures and, dare I say, actually playing.
I have never questioned the value of GURPS Historicals. I love for someone else to read through the history books and pull out the important, interesting and playable parts for me. I wish more GURPS Hot Spots and other Historical articles would come out.

Relationships are typically divided into two financial roles: the active and the passive. To be more specific, the person who assumes the domestic financial lead by paying bills and making financial decisions and the person who takes a passive approach to the finances… “I don’t know”… “fine” … “you decide.” Although this is typical, it is not optimal. In this traditional circumstance contentiousness can emerge between spouses as a result of misunderstandings and miscommunications about money. Ideally, partners should approach finances like all other areas in a healthy relationship, as a team: collaborating on goals and strategies while openly communicating about money. If they don’t however, the following are important points to consider about each role.
The role of the financial lead, for those who take this responsibility seriously, is not an easy one. You have the challenge of balancing the important financial responsibilities while simultaneously making your family happy. And for domestic tranquility sake, you can’t always say “no, we can’t afford it”, but, occasionally you need to put the reins on the household spending.
It is also important to point out that by assuming the role of the financial lead in a more traditional circumstance, you have a moral obligation to look out for your family’s total financial well-being. It isn’t simply a matter of paying the bills, but making sure that a strategy is in place to protect the family financially, and to bring your mutual financial goals to fruition.
We have met with many widows who were surprised to find that their spouses left them in a precarious financial situation: little asset, too much debt, not enough life insurance and typically, no realistic way to make sufficient income. In cases like these, the financial Lead neglected his/her responsibilities to the detriment of the surviving spouse.
Along with providing the necessities of life, the lead’s role is to ensure that enough is being saved for a comfortable retirement at a reasonable age. That could mean saving 1/3 or more of gross income (depending when one starts saving) and investing it appropriately.
Protecting against that which would be catastrophic to your finances is also among your duties. As such, you need to make sure that, in addition to the obvious, health, automobile, homeowners and umbrella, that you have adequate amounts of life and disability insurance as well.
Lastly, it is important for the lead to be transparent about the finances with the passive partner and to encourage his/her participation.
The passive partner frequently doesn’t even want to know what is involved in the finances because their own professional and domestic responsibilities are already very demanding. There is a risk to assuming this role, however. It is possible that your financial lead is not equipped to handle the responsibility like the ones of the widows earlier mentioned. If your spouse passes away and you have been left with little asset, not enough life insurance, too much debt and no way to make money, you will chastise yourself for not having been more involved.
Although I recommend against it, if one truly wants to take the passive role, then, your most important responsibility related to the finances is to be clear about the budget and try to adhere to it. This is not to say that you never over spend, but that you give due consideration to the mutually beneficial objectives that your spouse is trying to meet. Sometimes, the passive partner’s own lack of knowledge of the financial situation leads to overspending… mostly in trying to “keep up with the Joneses.” A syndrome by which many are afflicted.
Ideally, couples will strike a healthy balance of shared interest in the overall financial picture by adopting a team approach. They collaborate on goals and strategies for achieving them and communicate openly about money. This has the best chance of leading to a nice balance between a comfortable life and financial security into the future.
Lastly, both spouses should attend meetings with the families Certified Financial Planner™ practitioner. Not only will your CFP® professional advise you about next steps in the financial plan, they will be the financial resource that is needed to support a surviving spouse through a difficult transition.

I haven’t seen the films, read any of the books or even seen Dr. Oz when he has talked about it and I love Dr. Oz, even if it’s for nothing more than his energy and excitement about things other doctors and talk show hosts shy away from. I didn’t do more than listen when a friend told me about how she had recently learned so much about nutrition and that juicing was taking her a step further in her healthy transformation. It wasn’t until the high school receptionist, after watching months of poor health taking it’s toll on my daughter’s education, starting talking to me about how she had seen the films, Dr. Oz, and read the books and that daily juicing had made a difference in her life. She really feels that incorporating freshly juiced vegetables and fruits into our daily routine will help my daughter feel better and get better. She pointed me in the direction to get started by explaining the different types of juicers, places to find recipes online and tips that she has learned through trial and error and I followed her lead.
I bought the juicer that one of the films shows, a few books recommend and the school receptionist has and a lot of fresh produce. It’s not hard but there is definitely a learning curve. I am not only trying to find the right combinations that taste good but also the best way to prep and feed the produce through the juicer. The more expensive juicers do the best with getting the juice, especially with the leafy greens, but there are tricks that help the less expensive juicers do so, I just had to find them. I’m still looking and learning but it’s fun and it’s healthy.
Do a Google search and you will find a ton of articles about juicing helping people with autoimmune diseases and message boards with testimonials about how much better they feel and some even writing that they have been able to stop some of their medications. Can drinking the fresh juice of the right fruits and vegetables stop the progression of Multiple Sclerosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis, or will it help fight the fatigue and ease my daughter’s angry, painful joints? I don’t know. I do know that it will give our bodies nutrition that we don’t get enough of and that is good for everyone, especially for those who don’t feel well most of the time. Like I said, there’s a learning curve and we’re still working on figuring it all out but until we do, we’re drinking what we make and it’s not bad. I will write about juicing again, in few months, and hopefully I will have progress to share.

Junior was a lifetime farmer. He and Delpha moved to Swede Creek in 1953 after the Tuttle Creek Dam relocated them from that area. They were longtime members of the St. Peter’s Lutheran Church. He was an avid sports fan. He played softball, basketball, football and track. He could tell you statistics of his kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews and most of the local kids and could always be seen walking the sidelines of his sons and grandsons football games. He sat on the U.S.D. 384 School Board, Blue Rapids COOP, Swede Creek Township Board for many years and was a member of the Riley County Livestock Association.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, Roger Nelson and wife Penny of Randolph; his daughter-in-law, Patty Nelson of Manhattan; five grandchildren, Heather Nelson and fiance Ross Olsen of Pueblo, Colorado, Garrett Nelson of Manhattan, Jesse Nelson and wife Kelli of University Park, Stacy Wurtz and husband Brian of Riley and Adam Nelson and wife Cassandra of Swede Creek; eight great grandchildren, Will, Olivia, Lucy, Rielyn, Cord, Claire (Lil Del), Brynlee and Watson and his brother Raymond Nelson and wife Millie of Riley.

What the f*ck is connection to land anyway? And why should I care?
Last year, I was fortunate to be part of a group of women who got to spend a week with some Aboriginal elders on the land in Central Australia.
The shorter days of winter, accompanied with the cooler weather, can make us less likely to get our outdoor time everyday. Many people who work during the day will find themselves going to work before the sun comes up and getting home after it gets dark.
Last night I went to see Eckhart Tolle speak about consciousness and being present. Having never seen him live before, I was taken by his sense of humour and his relatability. He could have talked about something as boring as how to brush your hair, and I still would have been hooked.
If you follow my blog, you are no doubt already a nature lover. To celebrate all the awesome people like us who appreciate how much Mother Earth does for us, I'm running a competition over on Instagram. The prize pack is pretty awesome too. It features some of my favourite eco-friendly products.
I so often talk about how beneficial it is your you to spend time in nature – physically, mentally and spiritually – so I won’t bang on about it again too much today. It’s true that simply being in nature, without even trying to do anything, does wonders for you. Although, given we are all so time poor these days, I would like to help you out with how you can get the most out of each visit.
Last week, I was down in Byron Bay doing some shamanic training with a couple of A-grade people. There were many takeaway lessons from the trip (like how check that a glass door is open before walking through it), but one really stood out to me. It was from a cricket……in a fire.
Do you tend to find yourself all caught up in your head a lot? I do, but I have worked out that there are things I can do to snap out of it and become more grounded and in the moment. One of those things is hiking.
Yesterday was the first windy day of the cold season in Brisbane. As much as I like to embrace all things in nature, I must admit that I’m naturally inclined to get just that little bit touchy when it’s blowing a gale outside.
I’m talking about wood people!
