This past weekend I took part in the Maritime Race Weekend events in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia. It is arguably one of the most popular events on the Atlantic Canadian running calendar, as the registration sells out each year.
I have friends who have run in the events for MRW in years past, and since I've taken up running it had been an event I wanted to participate in and be a part of but my first year running I didn't feel prepared and last year I was away. I have a friend who shared with me the advanced registration last September, so I signed up for 2016 as soon as it was available to do so.
On the Friday of the Maritime Race Weekend, there is a Sunset 5km event where upon finishing, you are given a pretty sweet looking medal after finishing a course where you get to witness the sun setting on the Atlantic Ocean horizon.
|Yes, I paused mid-race to take a picture...
On Saturday morning, there are 4 different distance events you can register for: the Sunrise 5k, the Coastal 10k, the Scenic Half-Marathon (21.1km) and the Classic Marathon (42.2km) where you're given another medal for completing your distance. If you elect to run on both Friday & Saturday, you are awarded with a third medal as you completed what is called the "Tartan Twosome".
Throughout the spring and early summer, I trained regularly. I ran, did ballet barre classes, practiced yoga. As the summer went on, there were camping trips and other adventures to occupy my time. My training took a back seat, though I was keeping active with lots of walking/hiking, biking, paddling. I was not concerned.
At the "festival grounds" area of MRW, they have set up a ship's bell, with a sign encouraging runners who've attained a personal best (PB in runner lingo), to ring the bell to announce their achievement. My plan was to have a nice easy run on Friday evening (the Sunset 5k) and then go flat-out on Saturday morning (the Sunrise 5k) and ring that bell!
Fast forward to the Friday night of Maritime Race Weekend. I'd arranged to stay with a friend who lives just off the race route in the beautiful coastal community of Eastern Passage. They encourage everyone to dress as a pirate for any events they are running, and BOY were there some fantastic pirates on the race routes! I decided to wear my pirate getup for the Friday night race, and I ended up chatting to a number of people (and overhearing others) who liked my costume. The afternoon leading up to the race I felt reluctant to dress up, but I am SO glad I did; it added such a fun element of whimsy to the night!
|Pre-race pirate runner
The race start was PACKED tight, and in the starting chute you were shoulder to shoulder with lots of other runners and walkers but I was fortunate to connect with two friends who I know through running. The cannon (!!) went off and the runners crossed the start line. My body felt relaxed, my legs felt great, and there was just a hint of warm ocean breeze. At the 2.5km turnaround, my mom was there with noisemakers and bells to cheer on the runners (but most of all me, because I'm hers!) and it was so great to have her there.
Then, around the 3.5km mark… pain. Sharp pain on the lateral side of my left knee. Not an altogether new pain, as I'd felt the same thing last fall in another event I had done. My chiropractor had advised that I work on strengthening my hips, and back in the winter/spring I had been, but the summer held little useful cross training. So here I was, with sharp knee pain. I gritted my teeth and forged ahead, so much for a nice easy run. I crossed the finish line with a grimace but earned a pretty awesome medal.
After some water and a banana from the aid stations, and chatting with some friends in the festival area, I walked back to my friend's house… mildly limping and cursing my sore knee. Once changed and settled, I propped my feet up and rested while my friend and I got caught up and I got to snuggle her new kitten.
|Me and Oswin <3
Saturday morning dawned bright and clear; it was an absolutely ideal day for a run. When I went to walk down the stairs at my friend's house, the realization that my knee pain was still with me knocked most of the wind out of my sails. Still, I nibbled at my pre-race breakfast and got ready to roll. During the walk to the race-start, I was frowning with every step. That left knee was sore! But damn if the scenery of a calm ocean vista wasn't just so incredibly beautiful.
As I approached the starting area my positivity was low, but then I heard my name being called... and spotted one of my best friends and her puppy! They had come down with her dad to cheer on her stepmom, who was running the 10k event (she absolutely rocked it, and got a PB!). Having my friend's love and hugs before my run was a huge bolster of energy.
I spotted my pace bunny (a friend of mine) in the crowd in the starting area, but after I got myself where I'd seen him, he had moved. At that point, there were so many people crammed together that I wasn't keen on trying to re-locate him so I crossed my fingers for a good run and trust I'd find him later. When the cannon went off, the crowd surged and there were friends, family and volunteers lining starting area, cheering on all who passed. It was wonderful!
When we were a couple hundred feet outside the start line, I had the first sharp pain in my knee. I hobbled along for a few awkward running steps, then I had to walk. The pain was so intense and so bright that I knew there was no way to ignore it. The following moments in my brain were rapid-fire snippets of self-doubt, sadness and grief in an angry cycle:
- how on earth can I continue to run?
- how on earth can I continue to run?
- maybe I can walk it, there's no shame in walking
- let's try running again, maybe it was a fluke
- nope, that hurts a f@%ing lot
- well, there goes your personal best (cue tears in my eyes)
- you need to get through this!
- holy crap, can you do 5 kilometers of this?
The pain was enough to take my breath away. If anyone happened to look over at me, they'd see my face contorted with anguish and lots of nostril flaring and lip puckering. But I kept going.
Somewhere around the 1km mark, something happened. I stopped minding the pain. It didn't go away (there's no way I'm that lucky) but I stopped noticing it so much. At the 2.5km turnaround my mom was there again. At this point I knew my time was not going to be something I would be feeling pride about, so I slowed up and dashed over to her for a tearful hug ("running injured was not part of the plan" I sobbed to her) but she kissed my cheek and cheered me as I ran away.
For the rest of the run I tested my body to see how much pain it would allow me to endure. I could run, but all attempts at extending my stride were met with a sharp pain/wave of nausea. I wasn't going to get my PB, but I'd be damned if I wasn't going to give this run everything I could.
Once I turned the last corner and had the finish line in my sights, it was like a switch flicked on in my brain and I flat-out sprinted for the finish line. I didn't feel anything but euphoria… I made it! As soon as I crossed, I spotted my friend from before the race and her dad at the fence and went to collect some hugs before I picked up my medals (!!).
|Love my race bling!
The rest of the morning was spent enjoying the post-race refreshments (thank you to whomever decided to get the mandarins!) and chatting with friends – some whom I've known for years, others whom I've met as a result of running – and cheering on other runners. If you've never stayed behind after your event was over to cheer on other runners, you're missing out. It is a wonderful glimpse into being a runner… there is joy, there is desperation, every conceivable age, ability and body type you can imagine. All with the same singular goal: cross that finish line.
Then on Sunday, I was consumed by an unyielding feeling of despair that I can't quite pinpoint. The post-race blues combined with my own self-loathing over my performance combined with a few other petty things that were mildly upsetting bubbled over and I found myself laying on the couch with my dog, having a crying fit. I texted my sister (a fellow runner on the other side of the country) for comfort and advice and made a Facebook post that – in hindsight – was a beacon for reassurance that all really was well.
I was reminded that setbacks are part of progress and that I truly am fortunate to have a network of friends, some who run & could offer suggestions, others who helped me smile and see the bright side of things. I had a massage appointment tonight (hurt, but helped!), a physiotherapy appointment tomorrow, and a chiropractor appointment booked for the day after. I am looking after myself and resting too.
I also have a pretty awesome take-away from the weekend that I'm choosing to focus on… I have completed a number of running events over the last few years, but this weekend I experienced my first real sense of community with being a runner. I'm a fairly friendly and chatty gal, both pre and post race (sometimes during if I encounter a fellow chatty runner) but it's been mostly fleeting. I don't belong to any running groups, and while I usually see familiar faces, I have very few running friendships (if you've read this far, and you're one of those friends, you know who you are!). After Friday's event, I had a fellow runner who I met at an event in July stop me to chat because she recognized me and we discussed running, injuries, and the weekend festivities. On Saturday I got to cheer on and share victory embraces with many people; some of whom I count among my friends, and others who I don't know well, but I recently met and was grateful for them.
I look forward to future events where I get to meet new friends, embrace old ones and form bonds over both disappointments and triumphs.

Companies for Repairing Surfboards
In the case that a person has inflicted damage that is minor to a surfboard, they can repair it by themselves. There are a number of techniques of repairing and a wide variety of products in the market and at times it is tricky for a person to know where to start. The strategy that a person goes for will depend on the type of damage that a person has inflicted on the board, the type of workspace that a person has for doing the repair, and the time and cash that a person is willing to spare. However, it is advisable for a person to take the surfing board to a professional company because they have experts for dealing with the issue.
A person should not worry about dealing with boards that are broken and delaying the fun of surfing of a person because a person is waiting for repair. All a person needs to do is taking the surfboard that is damaged to a company that deals with a repair. However, before making a choice of a company that will repair your surfboard there are a number of things that a person needs to put into consideration.
The first factor is the services that the company offers and a person will be able to know whether the services are good or not by looking at the reviews of other customers. The second factor that needs to be taken into consideration is the amount of money charged for the repair and if a person is willing to spend that money on the repair. The number of years that a company has been in operation is an indication of the amount of experience that the company has while doing business. A person needs to make a choice of a company that has a number of years of experience so that the person will get the best services.
Making a choice of the best company to repair a surfboard will always make the session of a person fun. It is essential for a person to make a selection of a company to repair a surfboard depending on the wave that a person is going to encounter. The company requires having equipment that is proper for the repair work. This will assist in making sure that a person will not be visiting the company most of the time so that the surf will be repaired.
There are companies that offer their repair services online and all that a person needs to do is to give them direction and they will come where the person is and offer the services. This is the most convenient type of service because a person will not have to deal with the cost of transporting the surfboard to the repair company. The companies come with all the equipment for repair and make sure that they leave a person satisfied with the way that they have repaired the surfboard. It is essential for a person to be checking the condition of the surfboard on a regular basis so as to determine whether there is a need for repair.

And He Thought This Was Junk.....
There is a farmer somewhere who thought this old grain elevator was junk. He left it for us.........perhaps as a gift? BUT....leave it to my fabricator. He is a "wunder kindt" I love him!!! The other day, he said that he could probably use that old elevator down in the field and create feeders for my sheep. Well, I agreed it would be a fine thing to do. Little did I know that it would happen so soon. It probably took him a half hour when he got the elevator up here. Getting it out of the field probably took longer, but I didn't even know he was doing it. He said he planned to to it yesterday....that was in the late morning after church and breakfast. Well.....he did many other things, and I just figured he would not get that task done. Lo and behold, after all the other things were finished, he started on the feeder. Before you could believe it, it was done. He got rid of the junk and put the new feeders into the pastures with the bobcat.
They look like they will be fantastic. The only question was......how will the sheep use them? That had to wait until morning to be decided
In the picture of the feeder in the boys' pasture is the High Ridge version of "Dancing with the Stars" After I took the picture and then came back and put the hay in the feeder, I realized that the lovely example of togetherness that Tommy and Linus were demonstrating was really "Hey, we're hooked together!" Because of the teacup horns that Tommy has, they were really HOOKED together. Luckily, they are wonderful boys and let me pull and tug on them until they were separate. During that exercise, I was wondering what I was going to do if I was unsuccessful. I sure breathed a sigh of relief when they because un-siamese twins. I will have to keep an eye on them especially during this time of the year. I think there may be some issues between dad and son right now.

Lufthansa regains place as Europe's biggest airline from Ryanair

Residential Roofs Rialto
Selecting a new roof for your property could be a daunting task.

Should you utilize clay roof tiles or would cedar shakes be best? We are able to help you navigate all of your choices and discover the perfect roofing system to fit your style and budget. When you call our office, one of our helpful staff can walk you through the pros and cons of all the various residential roofing systems you have to choose from so you can have all the information you need to make an educated decision.
Types of Roofs We Install
When our customers start investigating their choices, many of them are surprised to uncover just how many roofing materials there are to choose from. At Espinoza Roofing Company, our staff of seasoned residential and commercial roofers can install a broad range of various roofing materials. What's more, we can utilize our expertise and experience to help our clients choose the ideal roofing solutions for their unique needs. Truth be told there is a number of advantages and disadvantages for every roofing material, based on your goals. So regardless of whether you are looking to make a bold visual statement, or you really need a roof that will last a lifetime, we can help you pick the perfect roof for your residence or commercial building. A few of the roofing materials we recommend include
Rialto Aluminum Roofing
Aluminum is among the lightest roofing materials available. Less weight means it creates less stress on the framework of your home or commercial building. However, just because aluminum roofing is lightweight, oes not imply it is deficient in resilience. Aluminum roofing can stand up to various different weather conditions and it is fire resistant, a perfect protective feature in case you are living in fire-prone location. Aluminum roofing is also very good for areas that experience significant rainfall or snowfall, as it performs exceptionally well at wicking away liquid. Cost-wise aluminum roofing has a tendency to be more expensive than a few other roofing materials. Nonetheless, these types of roofing systems can last for a long time, so your purchase will pay off in the long run.
Rialto Asphalt Roofing
Asphalt roofing is very favored with our residential clients, and for good reasons. There are two primary elements that homeowners search for in a roof, appearance and durability. Asphalt shingles offer a great balance of both. In addition, it can be extremely reasonably priced as compared to other roofs. Asphalt roofing comes in a range of assorted colors and thicknesses, which also offers homeowners some choices when it comes to the visual appearance of their roof. With each of its benefits, it is no wonder so many property owners change to asphalt roofing when it comes time to re-roof their home.
Slate Roofing Rialto
Slate roofing is another popular material among homeowners. Slate tiles are available in a variety of gorgeous colors, so you can definitely find one that suits your personal styles. This material is durable compared to other selections and stands up very well to most weather conditions. Slate has the added advantage of being naturally fire resistant, which could be a big draw for many property owners. The most significant disadvantage to slate roofing is that it is considered to be a superior product, so it can be expensive. Furthermore, it is a lot heavier than some other roofing materials, so it needs to be installed by a knowledgeable roofing professional to ensure that the structure of your home can sufficiently support it.
Composite Roof Shingles Rialto
Composite Roof Shingles are made to look like natural cedar shingles. However, these shingles can persist even longer than the real thing. With very little attention, a composite roof can easily be expected to last upwards of fifty years. This particular material is lightweight and requires minimal upkeep. If it matches your aesthetic, composite roof shingles are a great solution for any home and even some office structures. These shingles come in a assortment of colors, so we can easily find one to complement your current exterior paint.
Cedar Shakes Rialto
For residents that tend to gravitate more towards natural materials, cedar shakes are a good alternative. A new cedar roof is actually a stunning sight to see, however, you will find that your cedar shakes can become even more beautiful with time as their natural coloring becomes richer with weathering. With little care, a cedar roof could last for many years before needing to be upgraded. As an added perk, cedar is actually a all-natural insulator, keeping your residence cozy in the winter and cool in the summer time months. That can indicate lower energy expenses for residents.
Clay Tiles Rialto
If you're looking for durability, clay tiles may be the ideal roofing solution for you. When installed by a professional roofing contractor, a clay tile roof can last over one hundred years before needing to be replaced. That can become a big selling point in the event you make the decision to sell your home. Often seen in terracotta, clay tiles are fade-resistant, so they will preserve their stunning appearance for countless years to come. Similar to slate roofing, clay tiles is usually incredibly heavy. It is important that a roofing expert inspects your property prior to installation to ensure that a clay tiles roof is right for you.
Concrete Tile Roof Rialto
Done correctly, a concrete tile roof can appear identical to natural slate tiles. Concrete tiles are obtainable in a range of dimensions, shapes, and colors. This grants residential and commercial building owners a lot of flexibility to find a look that's perfect for them. Concrete tiles are highly coveted in areas like here in California where we see our fair share of warm days. That is mainly because this material has natural insulating properties that can help you reduce your energy usage by keeping the interior of your residence cool. When it comes to durability, concrete tiles can stand up to all types of weather such as heavy winds and rainfall.

NLIPW Patents Law Volume 2 Number 12
Patents No.12
(Contents of Franchise Disclosure Documents)
January 14, 2015
A few weeks before a potential franchisee signs a franchise agreement, he will receive a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) drafted by lawyers on behalf of the franchisor. The FDD is different from the franchise agreement as it is presented prior to the signing of the agreement and gives the potential franchisee the opportunity to review detailed information about the franchise.
Not only is it crucial for the potential franchisee to thoughtfully study and research the franchise opportunity, it is important for him to carefully read and understand the FDD before signing or investing any money. Below are some of the contents of a typical FDD:
1. Information relating to the franchisor, its subsidiaries and directors.
The FDD will include an overview of the Franchisor's history and ownership. Information provided will specify the length of time the franchisor has been involved in the type of business offered and that the business format being offered has been tested over an extended period of time in specific territories.
2. Full details of criminal or civil proceedings against the franchisor, directors and arbitration awards.
The FDD will provide detailed information about any litigation involving the franchisor and its directors. Any felony or fraud convictions of the franchisor's top executive officers should be disclosed in the FDD. The FDD should also contain information on whether the Franchisor has taken legal action against entities infringing on its trademarks or against franchisees not in compliance with quality standards. It is always a good idea to be cautious especially in cases were there are multiple lawsuits filed by franchisees alleging fraud or misrepresentation on the part of the franchisor.
3. Trademarks, copyrights, patents and the right to use other intellectual property.
The FDD should provide details of the trademarks, trade secrets, patents, copyright and design registrations the franchisor has obtained and which are necessary for the successful operation of the franchise. It is important to pay close attention to trademarks that are not registered.
4. Bankruptcy, or if the franchisor has been placed in administration, or has given any court-enforceable undertakings.
Although your due diligence should have disclosed whether the franchisor is in bankruptcy, the FDD must fully state whether any officer or director has a personal bankruptcy.
5. Franchise Fees, Start-up costs, Royalties
These expenses vary from franchisor to franchisor. The FDD provides a standardized way for you to compare the initial investment and ongoing fees required from one franchise to another.
6. Restrictions on what the franchisee may sell and details on the supply of goods and services by the franchisor or its associates to the franchisee.
Many franchisors pay close attention to the products and services franchisees utilize in order to ensure that they meet certain standards. As a result, franchisors may sell products to franchisees or they may insist on the use of designated suppliers. If a franchisor is offering products that are too limited, it may be something to consider in determining whether or not the franchise will be a perfect fit.
7. Franchisee's other obligations and prohibitions.
The FDD will include a list of the franchisee's contractual obligations, with cross-references to the franchise agreement. It is important for descriptions in the FDD to be consistent with those in the franchise agreement itself.
8. Audited financial statements and summary of the financing requirements.
A potential franchisee, through an accountant, must examine the audited financial statements to determine whether or not the franchisor is stable. The financial statements must show the profit-and-loss statement and the balance sheet. The FDD must also contain a summary of the financing requirement.
9. Current and ex-franchisees and their contact details.
The FDD should include a list of current and ex-franchisees. It could limit the list of ex- franchisees to a number of years. For example, the past five years. It must include their contact details and whether the franchises were bought back, terminated or sold. This information is important to enable the potential franchisee make a more informed decision.
10. Renewal, termination, transfer of the franchise agreement and Dispute resolution.
The FDD must provide information relating to the renewal, termination, transfer of the franchise agreement as well as dispute resolution. This information is important in determining the future relationship between the franchisor and potential franchisee.
This article is intended to provide general information about the subject matter. Professional legal advice should be sought about specific circumstances

It's that time again where I share another company that has been so good to me! The Daily Goodie Box. I received my box just a few days ago and I cannot believe the greatness in the box! Here is a list of the items and my honest opinion of them.
The Grandpa Soap Co – Thylox Acne Treatment Soap
I loved the scent of this soap. It wasn't overwhelming and it works really well. As someone who makes soap, I always like to try others and this one is great!
Organic OCHO Candy – Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars https://www.ochocandy.com/product/coconut/
YUM YUM YUM! I love everything about this bar! It was way too small, but I know it's just a sample. Now I'm hooked!
The Original MakeUp Eraser – Sample Pack
Again, I wish this sample size was a full size because I loved the way this eraser works. It was smooth and gentle on my skin and all I had to do was wet it. There were not added chemicals that irritated my skin like other types of makeup removers.
Hyalogic – Vitamin D3 Gummies
First off, they are delicious! I love when I find vitamins that I enjoy taking. I'm not sure how long it takes to see and feel results, but so far, I like these.
Sprig – CBD-Infused Soda
This was actually not something I would try again. I didn't like the flavor at all. I think they do have other flavors which could be better.
KiZE – Raw Energy Bars
The idea behind this bar is great, but the taste and texture were not for me! It was really dry and stuck to my mouth. It made me feel dehydrated.
Alcala San Diego – Deodorizing Body Wipes
My husband really likes using these. They smell good too!
Herbal Zap – Party Detox Herbal Supplement
This is not something I generally use, but I tried it and it was okay. I don't know if I used it for what it was supposed to be for.
Chocolat Frey® – Milk & Dark Crunchy Nuts Bars
You can never go wrong with chocolate bars! This one is amazing!!!

Corn is out and Tim Recker is in, planting cereal rye and cutting his cover crop seed costs by 50%. The Iowa farmer shuns a drill or broadcast and opts for the precision of a planter and metered cereal rye. Precision, seed-to-soil contact, savings and a beautiful green carpet.
Farming in Fayette County, Recker uses an interplanter on 15" rows. All told, he estimates $10 per acre in planting costs. "The system is just incredible. [My fields] look like a lawn after seeding," he explains.
Recker began experimenting with cover crops in 2012, searching for the best fit and management for his ground. He says nothing compares with the efficiency of metered cereal rye and he hopes to plant 560 acres this year.
In 2014, Recker's neighbor, Tim Burrack, wanted to switch from 30"-row soybeans to 15" rows, and traded for a 1790 John Deere interplanter, capable of handling either setup. The 1790 vacuum metered planter came standard with corn and soybean disks, but Burrack and Recker had a shared eye on cover crops.
"Critics can say the planter is a $120,000 machine and too expensive. But everyone needs a planter anyhow, and this one covers 40' and loads of acres," Recker says.
After buying an extra disk specific to cereal rye from SeedRight, both producers say the planting system has been transformative.
As soon as seed corn comes off, Recker immediately grabs the available planting window, prior to removal of commercial corn and soybeans. However, he has had success with planting as late as November.
Using RTK, Recker places cereal rye in the same A-B lines used for his corn crop, generally with a seed rate of 25 lb. per acre, roughly half the recommended 50 lb. to 55 lb. Recker hopes to plant 560 acres of cereal rye yet in 2018, and the savings is significant on $13-per-pound seed.
In spring, Recker doesn't terminate before planting green. He jumps over 7.5", straddles the rye row and plants down the middle with corn or soybeans. He never moves a rye plant and always plants in black dirt.
Burrack is equally enthusiastic. He planted 1,600 acres of cereal rye in 2017. "The biggest reason I plant cereal rye this way has to do with money," Burrack explains. "I'm close to retirement, but after 46 years I'm changing the way I farm."
All tallied, Recker estimates cover crops cost him just under $20 per acre. What does he get in return? Since 2014, he says soybean yields have jumped 5 bu. to 7 bu. every year (excluding a negligible bump in 2017), an increase he attributes entirely to cover crops. Even bigger, according to Recker, is a leap in erosion control.
Recker's perspective is precision planting cover crops is a "no-brainer" that requires a change in mindset. "I can only say what works on my ground. For me, precision cereal rye is worthy and year after year, the results are awesome."

Planning ahead
I have a really bad headache but hope that the paracetamol will kick in soon. I have so many things to organize! My list is getting shorter every day. Next Tuesday I'm organizing a day in the park for families with free barbeque-food and refreshments. I have to buy a lot of stuff and need to find people willing to volunteer. I have already recruited some people and hope more will be willing to help. In addition to barbequing, there will be face painting and competing. I really hope that the weather will be good! The weather forecast predicts cloudy weather with a bit of sun, but it can suddenly change. If it starts to rain, we can end the event earlier and postpone it. I want to try to organize something like this later this summer, too, and hope that we can get some sponsors. Luckily there are many energetic people here, that want to make life better for others. I hope that organizing activities like these for everyone, will bring people together. Mental health depends on living a meaningful life together with others, and if you manage to inspire anxious and lonely people, they get a chance to heal.
Like I have written before, I want medication to just be a supplement to more extensive therapy. In my view, we also need to change attitudes and prejudices influencing us at an unconscious level. The best way to do this, is by engaging people and empowering them. Marthin Luther King and Gandhi, both inspired others and changed attitudes step by step. So can we.

Volunteers Help Horticulture Center Blossom
Posted @ Monday, December 17, 2012 9:58 AM by Donna Puglisi
Files in
When there is work to be done in the community, Associated Builders and Contractors' (ABC) Western Washington Chapter finds a way to put its skills to use. In September, the Bellevue, Wash.-based chapter teamed up with the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) and local volunteers to spruce up the University of Washington's Center for Urban Horticulture.
ABC Western Washington has worked with NAIOP to complete community service projects for eight years. Past projects include working on a therapeutic riding stable for the disabled and a residential treatment facility for troubled children, as well as rebuilding playgrounds and bridges at a local Seattle park. This year, ABC and NAIOP saw the amount of work that needed to be completed at the University of Washington and knew they could help.
"We look for projects where we can bring our talents and skills to the community," says ABC Western Washington Chapter President Kathleen Garrity, who was part of the project's or-ganizing committee.
The day began with Garrity and her staff registering more than 200 volunteers and dispatching them to one of the 17 tasks that best fit each person's skill set.
"Volunteers varied from professionals in the construction industry to local moms who brought their kids to help," Garrity says.
Among the volunteers were employees from ABC member companies, including Amanda Grindle from Muir Contracting, Inc., Mike Grindle from Balancing Service Co. and Candi Pfluger from Clothier & Head PS.
Tasks ranged from carpentry to removing invasive plants to placing gravel on three-quarters of a mile of nature trails. The day's largest assignment entailed building a staircase that connects the main courtyard to the lawn below.
At the end of the day, the local construction industry and business community stepped up and offered $90,000 to $100,000 worth of volunteer labor, equipment, time and materials.
"It would have taken the university years to complete the work we were able to provide in just one day," Garrity says. "We hope to show the community the commitment we have made to make it a better place."

The Matryoshka dolls were made with the Paisley cartridge and Peachy Keen faces. I used Mod Podge over the dolls as well before adhering the crocheted flower.
This is what I started with. As you can see it is pretty worn, but it will be fixed up in no time.
I chose my papers and drew an outline around the top first. I cut this out and inked up the edges with a black stamp pad. I used a sponge brush to paint on the Mod Podge to the tin and then the paper making sure I got the edges really good. It's not a bad idea to use a brayer to really get the edges nicely. The picture above shows the pencil outline of the bottom of the tin. As you can see from the outline it is a little bit on the outside of the tin. You can either sand this down or just cut on the inside of the pencil line
Once you have the top and bottom done you can move on to the sides. The measurements for the top lid rim was 1/4" and the bottom rim was 3/4". However, you should double check your tin to make sure that is your measurement too. When you are adhering the paper around the hinge use an Exacto knife to cut a little slit on either side of hinge and tuck the paper on the inside. This will give a cleaner, finished look to your box.
The measurement for the inside papers are the same as the outside top and bottom. I tried to put paper around the top of the lid on the sides, however, it was too thick for the lid to close. This was all adhered with Mod Podge and then coated on the top as well.
I glued a pink button on the side with Glossy Accents mainly for decoration. I also think these would look cute with covered wooden balls on the bottom.
Altoid Tin
Authentique Papers Uncommon and Bazzill
Matryoshka Dolls - Paisley 1.96", 1.81"
Faces - Peachy Keen Princess Faces
Crochet Flower - handmade
Mod Podge, black ink, buttons, creme twine, Stickles Fruit Punch and Cotton Candy
Don't forget you have until Saturday to post your project for the Exploring Cricut challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!

What makes someone excel in their profession? It can't always be measured in conventional ways. Sometimes it is our desire that makes us great.
Your Future is Determined by Your Actions Today!
So many people spend time regretting yesterday, stewing over it, planning their life around it when it's over, gone, finished! Yesterday in no way can impact tomorrow. "Yesterdays" only ruin your ability to create a tomorrow.
Sell To Survive
Nothing will get you through these economic unusual times more than getting back to effectively selling your products, your services and your company. It is more critical during this time more than ever before that you learn everything there is about selling, negotiating and closing. Those that are able to effectively sell will survive and[Read More]
Meet the New YOU
If you woke up on January first this year, and realized, to your dismay, that you have taken the "old you" into the new year. I have good news: the "new you" is just around the corner, waiting to meet you.
Please Do Not Sit On The Fence
Recently, I saw a sign while I was at an amusement park with my kids that made me think. It said simply, "please do not sit on the fence." I thought, isn't this the biggest problem we have in our business and personal lives? Wouldn't it be great if we all took these instructions to heart? We are a society of fence sitters: we vacillate, we avoid commitment, we procrastinate, and we put off important decisions.
The Freedom to Succeed
As we celebrate American independence and rejoice in the freedoms that we enjoy in many countries, we are reminded again that each of us as individuals is free to select our path, choose our own attitude, and to work until we succeed. I am reminded of the story about the Oyster and the Eagle.
Being Who You Were Meant To Be
Self-knowledge is the key to personal success.
Slow and Steady Wins
Remember the old story of the tortoise and the hare? The hare had more speed and ability than the tortoise could ever hope to have. His body was built for swiftness. Many of us find ourselves in a similar situation as the tortoise. Competitors, customers, or co-workers might be smarter, faster, or endowed with natural talents that you don't possess. You may have personal burdens that you have to carry. Yet, you can still come out on top with consistent, steady effort.
If You Can't Stand The Heat…
"If you can't stand the heat, then find a way to get used to, and beat it!" Here's my straightforward 5-step plan as to how to take control of your life and prepare your self to "beat the heat".
The Power of Enthusiasm
Do you have a project that is not progressing as rapidly as you would like? Are you sometimes frustrated when a really great idea only produces mediocre results? Just apply a little more enthusiasm! Soon it will become catchy and infect everyone around you.
The Attitude of Champions
What makes a champion different from the average person? The difference is that the champion keeps trying when the average person quits–his attitude drives him on. He refuses to consider the possibility of quitting because he is so totally convinced that success is imminent. Learn from the examples of baseball greats Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron.
How to Get Up, When You're Feeling Down
We all feel down once in a while. Choose the happy path. Follow these 5 simple ideas and watch your attitude (and your altitude) soar!
Zest for Life
On April 26, 2003, a lone hiker became trapped in the rugged mountains of Southern Utah. Trapped under a bolder for 5 days and facing death, Aaron Ralston of Aspen Colorado was willing to cut off his own arm so that he could continue living. Do you have that same passion for your own life?
The Sweet Smell Of Independence
Break free of the bondage of being an employee by striving to find your own path to independence in today's commerce.
If there's one part of our experience that we view as sacrosanct, it's our feelings. While thoughts and behavior, the other two parts of the golden trilogy that composes our "selves" are as important, it's our feelings that we're closest to. Why else would so much of psychotherapy focus on them?
Olympic Effort
Olympic medals are simply a result of preparation and perseverance. The magic of the Olympics is that it showcases thousands of athletes who have spent untold years of consistent, dedicated effort. Too many of us quit at the first sign of resistance. The message of the Olympics is that we cannot afford to give up so easily.


text: ArgenTum 25 Posted March 2, 2016 First I'd like to point out I did look at posting in this thread, but since my suggestion is a sum of several suggestions, where I feel none would be that interesting without the others, I choose to start a new thread. Feel free to move/merge this if this was wrong. I would also like to point out that I have been thinking of posting this for about a year, so these ideas are not something I threw together hastily. Now, I do feel career mode in general is fun, but I miss something in career mode, and that is a Strategy layer. That's why I have some suggestions to make it feel like you are more in charge of a space program. Some of these things have been suggested before, I know, but again, my point is the sum of all these suggestions, not only one or two of them. So, in order to make you feel like more of a manager of a space program I suggest the following (they are in no particular order, with for example point 1 being dependent on point 2 etc). 1. Have a weekly economics summary, where it is shown how many launches you've made, the cost of rockets/planes launched, the income from recovery, the income from contract advances, the income from contracts completed, the weekly income from NAKA (see below), the weekly salary for all kerbonauts, the weekly pension fund for MIA/KIA kerbonauts etc. This summary would probably have to be tweak-able, so it doesn't show up every week of your year long journey to Jool, perhaps by progressing as the game progresses from weekly to monthly to yearly summaries. 2. Have overarching missions from NAKA (National Aeronauts and Kerbonauts Administration) where you are left with a choice of 1 of 2 to begin with - Explore space or -Explore Kerbin. (Later examples would be -Kerbins moons or -Inner planets, and -Space stations or -Outer planets) You would get (like a contract) some roots in advance and then some (diminishing) roots every week until the overarching mission is completed. You would also loose an increasing amount of reputation each week until you've completed the mission (so you get an incentive to hurry up, but it should be so small that you can ignore it for a while if you like. Perhaps starting at -1 the first week and like -5/week after 10 weeks or whatever balance feels right.) You should be able to change mission should you like, but would then get a reputation hit (-100 or whatever) and loose out on the roots advancement. The point would be to make ordinary contracts "side quests" and these mission "main quests". Completing a main quest would give you quite a lot of reputation (but almost no more roots, since for example NASAs missions hardly gives any roots when completed, but a massive boost in reputation.) 3. Only 1 allowed launch per Kerbin day (there already is the "warp to next morning", why not use it for something useful). Maybe airplanes could be launched 2 times a day, if there is a way to prevent "cheating", by launching rockets from the runway (for example the runway being destroyed very easily by rocket engines). This way, a maximum of 7 rocket launches in a week (and perhaps up to 14 plane launches), which is manageable for the summary in point 1. Perhaps this limitation should be upgradeable to 2 or 3 launches later in the game. Would also give a better momentum of the game in conjunction with the regular contracts, especially if their deadlines would be shorter. (And it is after all a bit unrealistic with unlimited launches each day, while the construction time mod feels a bit too limiting. I want to launch my rocket when I've designed it, not wait for a "random" period of time. Warp to next morning is fine I think, and quite intuitive in a gamey sort of way.) 4. An integrated wiki/self-updating encyclopedia, as proposed by me before here where suddenly the whole point of career mode would be to explore the entire Kerbal universe, filling in all the blanks in the encyclopedia/wiki. This could work well in conjuncture with point 2 in acting like an overarching "main quest", something to go back to when you don't know what more you want to do, but at the same time not something you have to do, being free to explore/play as you want. 5. Exponential cost for the tech tree, where you simply can't unlock everything without leaving Kerbin SOI (unless, perhaps, you chose to focus on -Exploring Kerbin and -Space stations when asked by NAKA, and thereby unlocking better bonuses for the science lab enabling you to get much, much more science. So there should be a choice) so you really would have to "struggle" to get to Eeloo to gather the millions of science required to unlock those last big fuel tanks (and then the next mission to Eeloo would become easier. The point being that the tech tree would be balanced so that you are always challenged to find that next science to unlock that next step, but would also be so abundant on worlds farther from Kerbin that it never would be considered grindy; one hard, long mission would be enough to unlock the next tech, you should not have to do 332 kinds of science on Kerbin to be able to unlock it. Unless you chose to, of course.) 6. Delta-vee readout, coupled to science (based on/functioning like KER). Haven't checked the atmosphere disposition in lower and upper Kerbin atmosphere with the Atmospheric Fluid Spectro-Variometer? Then the delta-vee (KER) readout can't show you how the engines are expected to perform at different altitudes. Haven't landed a probe on Mun and done a gravity scan? Then delta-vee can't show you expected TWR on Mun. Etc. That would really (in conjunction with point 4 and 2) encourage exploring and simply be fun in my opinion. Talk about mission planning, where you have to send out "scouts" to learn more of the planet/moon before actually doing your "real" mission. It also gives unmanned exploration with science-gathering by radio a bigger place in the game by paving the way for the more complex but more rewarding manned missions. Of course, such a system would have to have very clear tooltips telling the player what experiment they need to run to unlock the requested feature in the delta-vee. What a long post this turned out to be. Sorry. Well, the point of these suggestions would be to change focus in career: the contracts would no longer be the point of career mode, the contracts would be a stepping stone, a helpful tool to explore the system, something which at the moment aren't encouraged at all. (In sandbox it shouldn't be encouraged, but in career mode, I really feel it should. As an overarching goal.) In my opinion, when you have done all the experiments in all the biomes, completing the in-game wiki/encyclopaedia in point 4, you would actually win the game (with an option to keep playing of course). It feels like I had a couple of more points to suggest, but I can't remember them right now. Well, if anyone is interested in these ideas, a developer or a modmaker, I can expand my ideas more if you want. Otherwise, thank you for reading. (I do realize the chance of these ideas making it into stock or a mod is slim to none, but if they do, I would play the hell out of it). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warrior Practice in Kauai
Thank you Nisei!
QB Taylor Graham – Looking sharp. Nice tight spirals, even on deep balls. He was picked off twice during the practice (from what I remember). One pick came off of a deflection, the other, I listed below.
QB Sean Schroeder – Did not participate in practice.
WR Trevor Davis – Quick and shifty off the line, couple good catches.
TE's Craig Cofer, Clark Evans, and Harold Moleni – They are looking solid as pass-catchers.
#38 RB Marcus Langkilde – Got perfect blocks from the offensive line on a running play and zipped passed defenders untouched for a 40+ yard rush to the house.
K (Not sure) – Decent leg. On kickoffs, the ball reached the end zone 4/6 times.
QB Jeremy Higgins took most (if not all) of the 2nd team snaps. From what I saw, he no longer has that "long" wind up on his release.
The majority of the offensive snaps during this practice were out of the gun.
Towards the end of practice, the DLine swallowed up RB Joey Iosefa in the backfield for a ~5 yard loss, but Joey bounced back with a 10+ yard rush the very next play. I'm not sure if it's just me, but Joey looks pretty fast.
#42 RB Jason Muraoka had a few excellent runs as a result of his speed and elusiveness. He reminds me of Chad Owens.
#25 DB Anthony Pierce jumped a receiver's route on a Taylor Graham pass and picked it off. The entire defensive unit ran on to the field to celebrate with him.
TE Clark Evans lays out to catch an overthrown Jeremy Higgins pass for a 20+ yard gain with two defenders on him.
Practice ended with a successful PAT and the haka.

Bitter Dragon Description
The poor Bitter Dragon gets a bad rap for its sour facial expression. According to folklore, such a grumpy look hasn't been seen since the countenance of a fabled feline from a far away land. As such, Surfacefolk tend to shy away from this gentle giant due to its resting bitter face. But there's no need to fear - you would make that face, too, if your breath blast smelled like fermented pumpermellons. Lillian is hard at work searching for a magical solution to dragon halitosis, but in the meantime, try not to make this dragon feel self-conscious. It can't help its expression any more than a wizard hat can help being pointy. - in game description

INTRODUCTION: Cesarean rates have been rising steadily in recent years. This study aims to evaluate cesarean section rates performed in the first year in Ýstanbul Sancaktepe Þehit Profesör Ýlhan Varank Research and Training Hospital Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology due to the 10-Group Classification System (Robson classification).
METHODS: Information about the cases was retrieved retrospectively from our hospital records of the Robson classification.
RESULTS: The total cesarean ratios in our clinic were 31.9% in 1 year period. Our Robson Group 1 ratio was 21.5%. When we examined distribution according to the Robson groups, we noticed that the highest contribution to cesarean rates was achieved with 99.1% of Group 5, 100% of Group 6, 92.8% of Group 7, 80% of Group 8 and 100% of Group 9.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The Robson On-Group Classification System is an easy-to-use and convenient method of analysis that can be used freely for all healthcare facilities. In the first year of our clinic, total cesarean rate was determined lower than the 2016 Turkey research data. The major factor in our cesarean rate was established as Robson Group 5. This group is the largest contributor to all cesarean rates in most obstetric populations.

Raising Money For Charity
Here at London Gynaecology we value giving back and focus on fundraising throughout the year. As a women's health clinic, we are particularly focused on supporting charities that raise awareness about women's health and support those affected by women's health issues.
9th June 2019 – Consultant Gynaecologist Narendra Pisal runs The Comrades Marathon for Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust and Eve Appeal. If you wish to sponsor him, please click here.
On June 9th, Mr Pisal will face his biggest challenge yet: the Comrades Ultra Marathon in South Africa. It's the world's oldest and largest ultra-marathon, at a massive 87km long with 2000m of elevation gain, starting in Durban and finishing in Pietermaritzburg. He has chosen to run for a cause very close to his heart, and will be raising money to support the charities Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust and Eve Appeal.
Mr Pisal says: "I have chosen to support Jo's Trust and Eve Appeal. I am passionate about women's health but sadly as a gynaecologist I see many patients who have been affected by a gynaecological cancer. Every day in the UK, 58 women are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer and 21 will die. There is still a lot of work to do in raising the awareness, discovering new treatments and ultimately supporting women and their families through these diseases. These two charities are doing great work to bring gynaecological cancers to the forefront, onto the agenda and support groundbreaking research."
As ever, Mr Pisal's goal in completing this huge challenge is to raise as much money as possible for fantastic gynaecological cancer charities. If you would like to donate, please click here. Every penny counts – and we're also pleased to confirm that London Gynaecology will also match any funds raised up to £5000.
Previous Fundraising
The Whittington Hospital NHS Trust: In April 2018, Mr Pisal ran the London Marathon in aid of the Whittington Hospital, where he has practised for 16 years and is proud to be the gynaecological cancer lead. He raised over £14,000, which went towards new equipment for better endometrial cancer diagnosis.
Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust: In 2017, Mr Pisal ran his 10th marathon in Brighton raising £9,000 for Jo's Trust, he also achieved a personal best of 3 hours and 51 minutes.
Save the Children: In December 2017, the London Gynaecology team supported Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day campaign raising £150 for children across the globe.

That this effect or that phenomenon is "difficult to quantify" is one of those phrases that people use from time to time. But, you know, building a computer is difficult, too. I couldn't do it, and you probably couldn't, either. Computers are, however, readily available for purchase and it doesn't matter if you or I can make our own.
Same thing with measurement. Of course, instrument design and calibration are highly technical endeavors, and despite 80+ years of success, most people seem to think it is impossible to really quantify abstract things like abilities, attitudes, motivations, trust, outcomes and impacts, or maturational development. But real quantification, the kind that is commonly thought possible only for physical things, has been underway in psychology and the social sciences for a long time. More people need to know this.
As anyone who has read much of this blog knows, I'm not talking about some kind of simplistic survey or assessment process that takes measurement to be a mere assignment of numbers to observations. Instrument calibration takes a lot more thought and effort than is usually invested in it. But it isn't impossible, not by a long shot.
Just as you would not despair of ever having your own computer just because you cannot make one yourself, those who throw up their hands at the supposed difficulty of quantifying something need to think again. Where there's a will, there's a way, and scientifically rigorous methods of determining whether something is measurable are a lot more ready to hand than most people realize.
For more information, see my survey design recommendations on pages 1,072-4 at http://www.rasch.org/rmt/rmt203.pdf and Ben Wright's 15 steps to measurement at http://www.rasch.org/rmt/rmt141g.htm.

Catch Your Breath
Posted March 5th, 2014 in Mortgage Rates, Real Estate |
No Change
The Bank of Canada announced this morning that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 1 per cent.
In its accompanying statement the Bank noted that the economy is preceding largely on the path the Bank projected in its January Monetary Policy Report. While inflation and growth were slightly higher than expected in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Bank expects slack in the economy to keep inflation below the Bank's 2 per cent target this year. The Bank does not view the risks associated with elevated household imbalances as materially changed and judges the current stance of monetary policy, with the overnight rate at 1 per cent, as appropriate.
Some People Thought
Speculation of an impending rate cut by the Bank of Canada has receded in recent weeks following a modest acceleration of inflation and stronger than expected economic growth. The uptick in inflation and growth is in part due to a sharply lower Canadian dollar and, while not explicitly targeting a lower value of the loonie, policymakers at the Bank have welcomed the decline in the dollar. A depreciation in the currency tends to be inflationary and impacts consumer prices in fairly short order while traditional monetary policy, through adjusting the overnight interest rate, impacts inflation only with a significant lag of 12 to 18 months. With the lower loonie helping to pull inflation higher, we expect the Bank will likely maintain its target rate at 1 per cent until 2015 when economic conditions may require a gradual increase in the overnight rate.

We want to hear your London Marathon stories
PUBLISHED: 14:31 22 March 2019 | UPDATED: 16:36 22 March 2019
The daughter of a former Thetford head teacher who ran the London Marathon following a cancer diagnosis is running in it herself in her memory.
Sasha Talbot is running the marathon in aid of Cancer Research UK and has so far raised more than £1,250.
The mum-of-two said: "When Mum was diagnosed with Cancer in March 2017, she was determined to continue with her love of running.
"She completed the Great North run in September 2017, the Birmingham marathon in October 2017 and the London Marathon in April 2018.
"I have always wanted to complete the London Marathon, but have never felt that I have sufficient time to train for it. However, after Mum ran it last year, I entered the ballot and I was successful in securing a place."
Des Talbot died of cancer aged 68 on Thursday, November 28. She was headmistress at Queensway School for more than a decade from 1992, ran the parkrun more than 170 times and volunteered at the weekly event more than 50 times since she started running in 2013.
On Saturday, March 23, the Thetford Park run are organising a cake sale to raise money for Cancer Research, which Sasha Talbot will be attending.
To sponsor her visit: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/sashas-london-marathon
Are you running the London Marathon this year? Have you got a story worth telling?
Then we want to hear from you.
Just some of the many runners we covered last year included Stacey Harper, who aimed for a world record by running dressed as Elvis to raise money for her cousin's seven-year-old son, and paralysed singer Simon Kindleysides, who walked it in a exoskeleton suit.
Lucy Ring, from Old Catton, took part in memory of her late father Mark, a keen runner who suffered a cardiac arrest after taking part in a race, and visually impaired triathlete Iain Dawson raised money for the national disability charity Sense.
Whether you are running for a charity that has helped you, or for a relative or friend, we would like to hear your stories, sent via email to email@example.com
Please included a photograph of yourself, with your full name, age, and address.
If you value what this story gives you, please consider supporting the Thetford and Brandon Times. Click the link in the orange box above for details.

LOL Big and cute. They do look very cuddly with their thick winter coats, though. xx
They're gorgeous. Lovely shots... wish my hair was that shiny ;D)
LOL Apparently the secret is pure rainwater, mud, no hair dyes or blow waves (except of the wind kind), and a vegetarian diet. :)

NEW YORK (WFAN) — Basketball in New York City has great history and tradition.
And in honor of NBA All-Star Weekend coming to The Big Apple, the NBA has released an interactive map entitled "A History Of New York City Basketball."
The map is split up by borough, where you can find iconic places and faces from Brooklyn to Staten Island. All the legendary courts and players from Gotham are represented, as well as those who starred for the Knicks and made names for themselves as street players.
You could spend hours perusing the map, which includes detailed write-ups and videos.
