Farmer's Market Exploration
We will tour a local farmers' market to introduce you to the many benefits of eating local agriculture. You will meet farmers and learn where they come from, why they choose to farm, how they grow their crops and how to eat seasonally. You will also get to know many artisans, bakers, food purveyors and market managers. By building a sense of connection to the people who grow and make your food, you will become engaged with your community and inspired to make healthy and informed food choices. Remember that you are not alone in your nutritional journey and that you have a tons of local support.
Guided Grocery Trip
How we should may seem complicated, but we can simply it! It all begins at the grocery store. Over 15,000 new food products are introduced every year. In addition, the media offers an abundance of conflicting information about what is healthy and what is not. I will help you navigate the store by helping you understand ingredient label misconceptions, the marketing gimmicks of health claims on food packaging, and what to actually purchase to better your health.
Pantry Peek-In
What's in your pantry? You may sometimes question the nutritional value of several food items in your home. Remodeling your pantry with me will change the way you feel. I will come to your home or business to help make sense of the nutritional value of each food item, clean your kitchen of unhealthy foods, and make suggestions to replenish your pantry. This is a great way to teach you and your family or co-workers about nutrition and eating for energy.
Cooking Lessons
We will prepare a nutritionally-complete meal prep together in your home. By following my "intuitive cooking" method, you will be introduced to using ingredients in your pantry to make new meals. The meal prep will feature seasonal and local ingredients. By the time we are done, you will feel inspired by your cooking and confident in more food prep.
Personal Shopping
Looking to get more local foods into your fridge? Let us stock you up! We will deliver a variety of local proteins, produce, honey, dairy and whole food pantry staples. We will personally shop for nourishing ingredients that are tailored to meet your food preferences delivered right to your door.
Meal Meditation
One hour to practice. Eating meditation is among the simplest, and mindfulness practices to practice at mealtimes. We will include chants, blessings, energy work + nutrition practice into the session. A nutritionally complete meal may be included in the program (additional charge). Experience, strengthen and connect with your meal + nutrition practice.

"We gotta remember and identify and know that the only thing we gotta fear with the craziness and the madness and some of the very difficult evil things that have happened, is not to be human, is not to be cooperative, not to be looking out for one another, but to be spreading the good stuff everywhere…" Midnight Oil's ("the Oils") Peter Garrett, in his preface to "Put Down That Weapon", the band's second single off of their seminal 1987 album, Diesel and Dust. Some 30 years later, lyrics from the song and the ideas that they invoke seem as poignant as ever. The band has been mostly off the scene as Midnight Oil since they dissolved in 2002, so with their 2017 reformation and world tour, they have made an unexpected return to much acclaim and excitement. I was a huge fan of that 1987 album as it blew up in the U.S. at the time, and I had never had a chance to see them perform live until this show at Fox Theater in Oakland on Saturday night. It was nothing short of incredible, and will certainly rank as one of my favorite gigs of the year. They are touring a lot in 2017 and crossing back to cities already visited, so I give my highest recommendation to turn out for one of these events…
Pixies at Ace of Spades | Sacramento, California | 10/26/2016 (Concert Review + Photos)
"I try to think about tomorrow, but I always think about the past… about the things that didn't last… if I could go to the beginning, then for sure I would be another way… make it better for today…" Pixies (the "loud quiet loud" band) are a quiet band on stage in-between the generally quick songs, so we are left with the music, and the lyrics within, to try to figure out what is going on with them. It was less than one month ago that they released their sixth studio album – their second without founding bass player and vocalist Kim Deal – and their first with new full-time member Paz Lenchantin. The new album serves as fuel for this tour, with just four rare dates in Calif0rnia this month as prelude to many shows across Europe, England, Australia and New Zealand, keeping them busy until early next year. So it was interesting seeing them and hearing some of their new music performed at Ace of Spades in Sacramento on Wednesday night. The Pixies in Sacramento. A rare thing indeed. One of my all-time favorite bands playing in the city where I was born, and where I first saw the band way back in 1990, about a quarter of a century ago. A different time. So much has changed, but so much about the band remains the same. I've taken the new album, Head Carrier, for a spin and those lyrics above stuck with me. Interestingly, the vocals on that particular song are delivered by Paz, who is no Kim soundalike (on vocals or bass), though obviously the message in those lyrics is for Kim. So the Pixies in 2016 is older, mature, different… and the band is at once both old and new; looking backwards and forwards. The album sounds quite different from everything that came before (even 2014's Indie Cindy). And I think that the sentiments expressed in that song, "All I Think About Now", kind of sums up this new iteration of the Pixies. With this live show, the old and the new were mixed together to create a different sort of Pixies show, giving something fresh to both new and old fans alike. But there are still those songs that carry on and remain classic to those who were with it at the time, in the band's short-lived first incarnation in the late 80s and early 90s. The concert was a tribute to that as well.
Pixies New Album "Head Carrier" Out; Four California Live Shows Lead World Tour

Tori Amos (Unrepentant Geraldines Tour 2014) at Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay | San Diego, California | 7/24/2014 (Concert Review + Photos)
"He had all these things there… Sandman comics… things like that…" Tori Amos, coincidentally playing in San Diego during Comic Con week, reminiscing about her brother (who was in attendance) back in the day, and the inspiration for her song, "Flying Dutchman", which was third up on her phenomenal setlist at Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay. This was my second show seeing the "Unrepentant Geraldines Tour" (having seen the show in Oakland on Monday night at the Paramount Theatre). As with that show, Tori is ever full of surprises, and the two shows were completely different on many levels. The most obvious being the venues, with the indoor, ornate, classy and historical Paramount Theatre having a certain sophistication, while the outdoor Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay is more relaxed, with the unmistakable coastal air and open feeling sitting out under the stars. With the setlists from the respective shows sharing only three songs (opening with "Parasol", closing with "Cornflake Girl" and having "16 Shades of Blue" in their encores), it was two very different shows in terms of the music as well. The show in San Diego was at least to some degree a celebration of "Under the Pink", as it was highly represented in the song choice. I loved both shows, but I'd have to say – for me – my love for Oakland's was on more of an intellectual level, while San Diego's was because she played more of the songs I truly love (and if I had to pick any one song for her to play, it would be "Bliss", and she totally killed it on stage at Humprey's. One of those rare artists that has the ability to completely change up her show night to night, this is definitely one of the best tours of 2014.
Tori Amos (Unrepentant Geraldines Tour 2014) at Paramount Theatre | Oakland, California | 7/21/2014 (Concert Review + Photos)
"So this is one of your requests… I'll see if we got this right." Tori Amos in the "Lizard Lounge" section of her performance at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland last night, wherein on this "Unrepentant Geraldines Tour" she does a few covers suggested by fans. With Monday night's show, the first was a kind of dark rendition of the Calvin Harris and Rihanna electro-house hit song, "We Found Love". What? Tori Amos doing "We Found Love"? Yeah, I know the song well, but it took my thought process a few seconds to catch up with the familiar lyrics played out in such a different manner. As I settled into that incredible collision of techno pop and, well, however you might categorize what it is that Tori does, when she does her thing… I started imagining what might be the most amazing cover to hear from her following that. Immediately, I thought of "Tiny Dancer" (it has a special connection with my fiancé and I, and she was seated next to me in the orchestra pit for her first Tori concert)… So after finishing "We Found Love" on her electric keyboard, Tori spun around and found her way to the deeper keys on her Bösendorfer piano and started into the classic Elton John tune. I've seen, I would guess, thousands of artists live in concert – that was the first time I'd felt that maybe one read my mind. Very surreal moment, and maybe the coolest moment for me at any Tori Amos concert (and I've been to my fair share). She was certainly full of surprises last night, as a fan might see simply from taking a look at the set list, which had songs from her latest, Unrepentant Geraldines, going all the way back to her failed synthpop band, Y Kant Tori Read. With the new album and this current tour, Tori has certainly hit her stride both in the studio and on the road, and she's always been one of those rare artists that is a master at both.

Tests & Treatments
Ankle fusion is a surgical procedure where the three bones that make up the ankle joint (the talus, the tibia, and the fibula) are held together with metal implants, allowing them to heal and grow into one bone.
Ankle replacement is surgery designed to relieve pain and restore mobility by replacing the damaged parts of the three bones that make up the ankle joint (the talus, the tibia, and the fibula) with artificial parts (prosthetics).
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery replaces the ACL, a small but important ligament in the center of the knee, with a new ligament often taken from a person's own body (autograft) or from a donated source (allograft).
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique to assess - and in most cases, treat - a range of conditions affecting the joints. The procedure allows the surgeon to see inside a joint without having to make a large incision.
Biceps tenodesis surgery is a procedure to remove the damaged section of the biceps tendon, a long cord-like structure which is located in the front of the shoulder, which may be causing pain or reduced range of motion.
Bone Scan is used to determine if prostate cancer has spread (metastasized) to the bones.
A bone stimulator is used to encourage faster growth and healing of a broken bone.
A carpal tunnel release is surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve located inside the carpal tunnel, an area on the palm side of the wrist that supplies sensation to the thumb, index, middle, and half the ring finger.
A cast is a protective shell often made from plaster or fiberglass that encases a bone to hold it in place until healed. By limiting motion, a cast can also help relieve pain and swelling, and protect the bone from further harm.
Closed reduction is the non-surgical approach to put back a broken bone or dislocated joint into its original position using physical manipulation from outside the body.
Debridement is the removal of unhealthy tissue from a wound to promote healing, to reduce the chance of infection, and to help determine the extent of damage in the area.
A bone density test that uses special X-rays (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry [DEXA]) to diagnose or determine risk for osteoporosis.
Discectomy is surgery to remove all or part of a cushion that helps protects the spine. These cushions, called discs, separate the bones in the spine (vertebrae).
Dupuytren's surgical release is performed to relieve the tightening and inward bending of one or more fingers as a result of abnormal connective tissue (fascia) growth and thickening in the palm (Dupuytren's contracture).
Elbow replacement is surgery to replace the damaged or diseased bones that make up the elbow joint with artificial parts (prostheses), typically made of metal and plastic.
Ganglion cyst removal is surgical procedure to remove a fluid-filled lump or sac on the skin of the wrist, finger, or foot. The cyst is attached to a tendon or a joint through its fibers.
A halo brace holds the head and neck in a fixed position to prevent movement and lessen pain while the neck heals from an injury, much like a plaster cast keeps the bones in a broken arm as still as possible while they heal.
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure to replace the damaged or diseased parts of hip joint with new artificial parts (prosthesis) made of metal, ceramic, plastic, or various combinations of these materials.
Knee replacement is a surgical procedure to replace all or part of the worn, diseased, or damaged surfaces in the knee joint with new artificial parts (prosthesis) made of metal and plastic.

Spinal fusion is surgery to permanently join together two bones (vertebrae) in the spine, eliminating motion between them. It involves placing extra bone (bone graft) to fill the space between two spinal vertebrae, held in place with plates, screws or rod, and over time heal into a single, solid bone.
Splints are used to hold a part of the body stable and motionless to decrease pain and prevent further injury. Splints can be adjusted to accommodate swelling from injuries easier than enclosed casts.
Strapping and taping are techniques used to limit movement or prevent abnormal movement in an injured joint. It is typically used on knees, elbows and ankles to provide support.
Stump shrinkers are an elastic wrap or compression sock worn on the residual limb following amputation to reduce or prevent swelling and to help properly shape the stump.

By: Riley Carlton
Last summer I had the pleasure of doing a social media and digital marketing internship under Cory Gregory, the co-founder and former executive vice president of MusclePharm. The experience throughout my internship was completely invaluable. To be in a position to learn from the self-made fitness and business professional was unreal.
Cory, who was once a coal miner, ultimately traded in his hard hat in order to pursue his dream in the fitness industry. Along his journey of personal training, body building shows, and power lifting competitions, Cory somehow found the time to become a social media and digital marketing mastermind. Throughout his ventures with MusclePharm, Cory acquired more than 690,000 followers on Twitter, and 200,000 followers on Instagram. He intrigues his followers with his #SquatEveryday training programs and constant motivational content. Besides his unique social media content, it is Cory's overall approach to social media that has built a loyal following. As much as I tried to be a sponge during my internship to absorb Cory's knowledge bombs, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to gain more insight on his social media and digital marketing methods.
Riley Carlton (RC): What originally drew you to social media and digital marketing? Because it seems like you were way ahead of everyone else in the fitness industry.
Cory Gregory (CG): It's kind of interesting. So there's a lot of people that have a way bigger following than I do, it we have different intentions. My intentions were all for creating consumer loyalty for the business. So the way I got in to social media is kind of a funny story. I was sitting at this UFC event with Tapout president, Dan "Punkass" Caldwell, and I asked him what is your advice to me as I move forward with MP? He asked if I was on social media, and at the time I was just on Facebook and wasn't doing much with it. So Punkass says, "Look one thing I did really well was embedded myself in the brand. You're already gonna be the face of the brand, so I'd get so ridiculously tight to the brand so that you get get the customer no matter what happens within the company." So I went home that night and signed up for Twitter.
RC: Why do you think social media is important in building consumer engagement?
CG: The concept for me, started with this company called Beverly International. Now they were way before the whole social media thing, but what I loved about them, was I could call down there and they would just answer any questions I had about diet plans or whatever it was. So between them and Bill Phillips, I used to think if Bill Phillips had Twitter when I was your age, and I Tweeted at him with a supplement question and he responded with an answer, but then maybe added a workout I could try, I would Bill Phillip's supplement for the rest of my life. It's all about the loyalty you create over time. So ultimately my concept became leading with value before I ever ask the consumer to buy anything.
Twitter literally flew out to have a meeting with my office because we were spending no money with them and all my guys were just killing it. So Twitter was like, "what's your marketing plan, like how are you guys doing this so successfully?" And my answer was, listen…….They tweet at me and I Tweet them back….
RC: "I've been seeing this phrase "brand activation" come up during the launch of your new marketing firm, Activ8. Can you talk a little about the role of social media in brand activation?
CG: So what Activ8 does is, take a business or team or whatever the brand may be, and we tell them exactly what their message to consumers needs to be on social media, advertising, clothing, ect.., or how to utilize their sponsored athletes better. So basically we take the brand, dive in to all of their social media platforms, and then determine what social media plan they should use, what the artwork and design should look like, and then either they can implement these plans, or they can pay us to do it for them. So social media plays a huge part in activating a brand.
RC: So from your experience and recent work with Activ8, how much have you relied on consumer research and data to develop social media plans?
CG: So that's one of the biggest things we've talked about as far as choosing what is the very best platform to reach the consumer. So at MP surprisingly we never ran any analytics. But that was my wheelhouse. Fitness is my hobby, it's my passion, it was my job. However now with Activ8, the consumer research is essential because we have to determine what is and what isn't working on their social media. So then after the research, we'll have a base to measure the progress. We'll also be using the research to measure their website analytics.
RC: What do you think the most important upcoming trend in social media is?
CG: So first, my opinion is that Snapchat, which is obviously huge with your age group and just in general will be a big trend for a while. And second, the common denominator for everybody that is a single figure in fitness that makes a lot of money is YouTube. YouTube has basically become a TV network for people. If I could go back and do it all over again, I would've started putting myself on YouTube a lot earlier, because that's the ticket. I can't see it changing anytime soon.
RC: So I'll wrap it up with this question here, what advice do you have for an aspiring social media professional?
CG: I would say, and it's hard to find, but you need to find someone who is already doing social media really well and learn from them. So that, and you have to basically have your own editorial calendar. You need a blog, and you need to run all of your social media like you are your own business. It doesn't have to be super cheesy, but it's practice. And then also, check out different brands that you like and seeing how they go about doing social media and just take some notes on it for the future. So you just have to be more intentional about checking out brands and studying outside the classroom because you'll gain a lot of knowledge in the real world as well.
All in all, this interview with Cory provided me with great insights. The most important insight I gained was the importance of staying engaged with consumers and actually taking the time to respond. The next insight was the trend of video content. Consumers love videos and graphics. The last insight I gained was the importance and benefit of developing your personal brand.
You know the most interesting man from the Dos Equis commericals? Well that's basically Cory Gregory when it comes to the fitness industry. I highly encourage you to check out his life story, because it's really something special.

Photographer's Note
I met this elderly lady in a meeting with women self-help groups near Bodi in Tamil Nadu. In spite of her old age she was active during the meeting. Later she approached me and asked me to take of photo of her. When I took my camera, she removed the bran dusts around her face ( she was pounding grains before coming to the meeting). When I was about to snap, she asked "do I look beautiful?".

A/N: This was originally not supposed to be PewDieCry, but, the fact that the song I chose talked about love, it's only natural... Also, if you don't like reading about suicide, I would suggest that you don't read this... Song is Not Alone by Darren Criss (or AVPM) and I do not own PewDiePie or Cry... Enjoy...
I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
I've seen how heartless
The world can be
Pewds watched as the rain fell on the ground outside of his window, the thunder rumbling, and lightning striking. The blonde could almost remember everything that's ever happened in the past couple of years. It's been so hard, and he felt as if his world was falling apart. He felt as if he couldn't even turn towards his best friend, Cry. Yes, the 20-something year old was lost and didn't have anywhere to run to. That's why his hands shook as he reached into the trunk. He pulled out a small pistol, cocking it. He laid it beside him, turning on his camera. He looked straight into the lens, and cleared his throat. His voice was cracking, he was beginning to get a slight lump in his throat. "Hahahahow's it going, bros? My name's PewDiePieeee. And this might possibly be my last video. Thank you bros for being there for me all these years, but, a lot of shit has been going on. So, I just wanted to tell you bros that even though I'm not going to be around anymore, you made my life so much better. I always enjoyed getting your mail and looking through it on the camera. So, I know this message is short, but, just remember to stay awesome, bros. Here comes the brofist… for the last time…" And with that, he did the last brofist he would ever do. Just as he was beginning to edit the video message, there was a knock on the door. Pewdie held the gun in his lap, and he looked at the door. "Come in." That was when the familiar form of Cry walked in, with a bag over his shoulder. He had forgotten that he had invited Cry to come visit him.
I've seen you crying
You've felt like it's hopeless
And I'll always do my best
To make you see
"What are you editing buddy?" Cry asked, beginning to walk towards him, setting the duffel bag on the ground.
"Oh, uh, just a video. You know… a gaming video," Pewds said, turning his face away from Cry.
Of course, Cry knew about his depression, knew about the constant shelling up. He stopped, looking down into Pewdie's lap and seeing the .9 millimeter cocked and ready to go. Cry looked at Pewdie and saw the tears welling up in his eyes. He could see the small bags beginning to form under them. Cry then saw something he never thought he'd see, the man that was normally so calm and collected, actually fell out of his chairs onto his knees. Cry's heart broke for him, when he saw it. He was afraid to approach him, until Pewds looked at him, his deep blue eyes tear-filled, drops of water pouring down his cheeks. "Pewds, hand me the gun," he said, holding out his hand. Pewdie held out his hand and that's when Cry's hand touched his and Pewdie pulled him in for a tight embrace, continuing to cry. Cry wrapped his arm around his friend, beginning to comfort him. "It's okay, Pewds. It's okay."
Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need
To make it through
Now I know it ain't easy
But, it ain't hard trying
Everytime I see you smiling
And feel you so close to me
And you tell me
Cry stayed there for a good hour listening to Pewdie mumble through his tears. From what he could understand, Pewds was feeling alone. He didn't want to bother Cry with his problems. Cry laughed and looked at Pewds, shaking his head. "Pewds, you know that I've got nothing else to do than to help with your problems. That's what best friends are for, okay? So, if it's something big, tell me," he said, running his hand through the blonde's hair. His shirt was getting soaked with Pewdie's tears, but, he didn't care. "Hey Pewdie. Guess what?" Pewdie looked up and that's when Cry attacked him in a pounce-hug, beginning to tickle the blonde boy. Pewdie's laughs filled the small room, squirming from the tickling. His laugh was contagious, causing Cry to laugh out loud as well. That's when he stopped and Pewdie looked at him, raising an eyebrow, and that's when he felt better. There on Pewds' lips was a gigantic smile, the same smile that was now facing him from above. In an instant, Pewdie had Cry pinned to the floor, his hands gripping Cry's sides. "Don't do it, Pewds," he said, beginning to tense up.
"Do what Cry?" he asked, raising an eyebrow, beginning to run his fingers along the sides.
"You know what," he said.
"Oh, you mean this?" he asked, suddenly attacking Cry in a wave of tickles. Cry was now squirming, trying to push Pewds' hands away from him, trying to escape.
Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever going to bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need
To make it through
I still have trouble
I trip and stumble
Trying to make sense of things sometimes
I look for reasons
But, I don't need em
All I need is to look in your eyes
And I realize
Pewds chased Cry throughout the house. He escaped from the grasp, but, the blonde boy wasn't giving up on him. He gained on him and tackled him to the floor, straddling him, pinning his arms above his head. Pewds was smiling down at Cry, his blue eyes, like oceans of water. Pewdie was prepared to battle again, but, this time, he spit and dangled it above him. Cry was helpless. He couldn't move under the weight of the blonde boy. "No! No!" Cry said, beginning to toss his head. Pewdie pulled the spit back into his mouth and looked at Cry. He laughed. "Then say it!" he said. Cry shook his head. Pewdie held some spit in his mouth as he looked back down at Cry. "Say it, Cry! Otherwise, my spit is going to go inside of your mouth." Cry looked up at Pewds and sighed. He rolled his eyes. "Fine. Pewds is sexier and smarter than me," he said. Pewdie smirked, letting him up, and turning around. Pewdie walked into the living room where his computer was and deleted the final video, when Cry walked in and hugged Pewds from behind. Pewdie turned around and smiled, running his hands through Cry's hair and kissed his forehead. He definitely felt a lot better now. It was all thanks to Cry.
Baby, I'm not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever going to take us down
Cause nothing can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need
To make it through
Cry watched Pewds sleep, the blonde boy's arms wrapped tightly around his pillow, a stuffed Stephano under his arm. He almost couldn't believe that he had almost witnessed his friend commit suicide. He didn't know it had been that bad. However, it wasn't the only time he had had to talk Pewdie down after being depressed. He was always there on his worst days. Cry ran his hands through Pewds' hair and kissed his forehead, rubbed his eyes, and yawned. He didn't want to leave Pewds' side, but, he was getting pretty tired. He sighed and walked out of the room, and laid down on the couch. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. Pewdie soon woke up after Cry had fell asleep and walked into the living room. He grabbed his camera and went back into his room. He set the camera on record and sighed, looking into the lens. "Cry, or Ryan, I know you've tried to make me feel better, and I'll never forget that. But, the thing is, there's nothing left for me here. Don't worry, I'll always love you. And if you're watching this, then it means you've probably found me dead. And if that's so, then I'm sorry you had to see me like that. But, just know, I'll always remember the fun that we've had. And I'll never forget what you've meant to me. So, Cry, for the last time, I'll be signing off now. Don't cry for me. I'll be fine. Just tell my bros what happened," he said. He lifted his fist and smiled softly, his voice cracking slightly. "One last brofist, coming in for landing." And with that, he brofisted the camera and stopped recording. He took his gun and cocked it again, put a pillow against it so as not to wake Cry up, and pulled the trigger, killing himself instantly, his body falling to the floor.
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever going to bring us down
Cause nothing, nothing, nothing can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
You know our love is all we need
Our love is all we need to make it through
Cry could remember nothing from the day that he found the body of PewDiePie lying on his bedroom floor. His blue eyes closed. Cry could feel himself beginning to tear up, the tears clouding his vision, the sniffles coming. He thought he could save him. He couldn't. And there was nothing he could do now. Cry cradled the body, his friend's blood dripping all over the floor of the room, soaking into the carpet. That's when the cops broke in, and took the body away, leaving a bloodied Cry alone with a camera. He sat there, watching the video, the message that he had for Cry. The tears fell like rain, the pain that he felt; he knew would never go away, no matter how much he wanted them to. Cry stopped the tape and looked at his friend's face, the face that read the pain that he was going through. "Goodbye Pewdie. I'll… I'll never forget you man," he said, beginning to sob. The tears felt hot against his cheeks and he couldn't help but wish that he could've felt his friend's touch again. He tried… he really did. He then felt a thumb go across his cheek, and rub his shoulder, and then it was gone. Cry could swear he heard Pewdie say 'Don't cry'. Maybe Pewdie wasn't gone. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get rid of him that easily. And that made Cry happy inside. And it made Cry happy everyday knowing that Pewdie was still around, playing jokes on him.
A/N: Awwwww... :'(... This made me cry while I was writing it... It's sooo sad in my opinion! Also, I wasn't planning on killing Pewdie in the end, but, I wanted it to go out with a bang! So, leave me a review and tell me what you liked or didn't like about it... And give me some ideas for my next PewDiePie fic... :)...

Shirley's Story
"Working with EJC – they have helped me get my benefits restored that were stolen from me for over seven years and they are still helping me to get my life insurance and my retirement benefits that have been illegally stolen, withheld or have disappeared." -Shirley
Shirley was injured on the job with the DC government through no fault of her own. The Office of Risk Management and the third party contractor it uses to outsource the disability compensation program denied Shirley benefits despite the fact that she was completely unable to work.
Shirley filed to have her benefits reinstated. She was told that a letter had been sent to her that terminated her benefits. She never received this letter. As such, she filed an appeal.
After a struggle for seven years and with the help of the EJC, Shirely was able to win back $45,000 she was owed in back pay and full reinstatement of her disability benefits going forward.
Shirley is also a member of EJC's Workers Advocating for Greater Employment (WAGE) and Injured Workers Advocates (IWA). As a member of both groups she has had the opportunity to testify before the DC Council, speak with executive branch staffers, and testify regarding legislation affecting the disability compensation program.

Part 8: Sufficiency
This series is already pretty long – but just in case you haven't read it (and you happen to be fighting insomnia) you can start with first post here.
The third exhortation for sexual minority folks in this evangelical sermon on homosexuality was, "Jesus is enough for you."
Of course. God's grace is sufficient for us. And when we are weak we are strong.
Living a sustainable faith means that one has inevitably gone through the refining fire of finding our life and our identity as the Beloved of God. It is stronger than our greatest strength, or the strength any of our family or friends can offer. Many followers of Christ will have some story to tell of going through the wilderness and feeling that Jesus was all you had to cling on to.
It doesn't mean, however, that all of followers of Jesus only find our needs met in Christ. Now before anyone freaks out – let me explain what I mean. In my last post I talked about all good gifts ultimately coming from God. In that sense, it is God who meets our needs. God does that through relationship, marriage, family, meaningful work, access to food and housing, mobility, education etc. Christians very rarely go find a cave to live in relying only on the presence of Jesus to sustain us. (Although let's face it – it seemed to do pretty amazing things for Brennan Manning!)

On Monday, March 6, 2017, Republican Leaders in Congress released the American Health Care Act, their proposal to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. The list below represents items where changes could occur, if the proposal were to be passed.
The taxes on high-cost insurance plans (aka the "Cadillac Tax") would be delayed until 2025.
Eliminate the individual mandate (the requirement that all individuals have insurance coverage) penalty.
Eliminate the employer mandate (the requirement that certain employers to offer coverage to certain workers) shared responsibility penalties.
Size of healthcare savings accounts that can be coupled with high deductible insurance plans will be expanded. (Amounts could increase to $6,550 for individuals, or $13,100 for families).
Advanceable, refundable tax credit to assist individuals that purchase health insurance. Amount starts at $2,000 per person, with family credit of up to $14,000. Amount phases out for individuals making more than $75,000 per year ($150,000 for couples filing jointly).
Coverage cannot be denied for individuals with pre-existing conditions, with a new requirement that the individual maintain "continuous" coverage.
Children can stay on the parents' health plan until age 26.
Insurance companies can charge higher premiums (30%) as a penalty to individuals who do not maintain health insurance coverage for longer than a set period of time.
$100 billion fund for states to help their lower-income residents afford health insurance. Fund is intended to help stabilize the state insurance markets. Fund could be used to help lower patients' out of pocket costs or promote access to preventive services.
Expansion of Medicaid, which was designed to expand healthcare coverage, will be rolled back.
Change Medicaid to a per-capita system. States will be given a set amount for the number of people in certain categories, such as disabled, elderly, childless adults, and pregnant mothers.
Download the American Health Care Act proposal: PDF
Everyone knew that changes to the Affordable Care Act would be coming with a new Administration. The American people now have answers to some of their questions regarding the Republican American Health Care Act proposal. There are still many questions, in addition to gathering the required number of votes in the House and Senate, as well as ironing out the details to chart the best course for everyone involved.
We will be listening to the conversation and watching for new developments. Stay tuned…

New Report Highlights Positive Relationship Between Physical Activity & Academic Performance
Rep. Kind Calls for Greater Emphasis on PE in Schools with FIT Kids' Bill
A recent report by "Active Living Research," a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation outlines research linking greater physical activity to improved classroom performance and behavior. The report, "Active Education," indicates that when schools have chosen to replace time available for physical education (PE) with additional academic coursework due to budget concerns or pressure to improve test scores, actual academic performance by students has not improved. U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI), lead author of the "Fitness Integrated with Teaching Kids (FIT Kids) Act," (H.R. 3257) pointed to the report as yet another indicator of the need to strengthen PE in America.
"It's simple: You can't have healthy minds without healthy bodies," said Rep. Kind. "This report outlines an abundance of research that shows why reducing or eliminating PE in schools is completely counter-intuitive. FIT Kids would strengthen physical education - moving schools toward a national goal for weekly physical activity, and engaging parents in the process. We will see the benefits in their math and reading test scores, get to the root of the obesity epidemic, and get kids on a healthy path early in life."
The report indicates that currently more than one-third of children and teens - about 25 million kids nationwide - are overweight or obese. Despite the alarming trend of childhood obesity, a mere 3.8 percent of elementary schools are providing daily PE. Similarly, only 36 percent of high school students are meeting the current recommended levels of physical activity.
Furthermore, the report cites research indicating that sacrificing PE time for additional classroom instruction does not improve academic performance. Instead, research shows that students who are more physically active tend to perform better in the classroom and on standardized tests. Breaks for physical activity, the report continues, can also improve classroom behavior and improve concentration skills.
FIT Kids would modify No Child Left Behind (NCLB) to strengthen physical education programs throughout the country. FIT Kids would measure schools on their progress toward meeting a national goal for required physical education recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control of 150 minutes/week in elementary schools and 225 minutes/week in middle and high schools. The bill would also engage parents by requiring schools to report on students' physical activity.
In addition, FIT Kids would support professional development for faculty and staff to integrate physical education into everyday academic curriculum, and authorize a study and pilot program to support effective ways to combat childhood obesity.
"It is my hope that when Congress revisits No Child Left Behind this year, it will recognize what researchers already have, and put a new emphasis on physical education in our schools," Rep. Kind said. "We must do something to reverse the trends in childhood obesity and chronic illness in our kids before it's too late."

Plane carrying Australian goes missing off Borneo
An Indonesian airport official says a small plane is missing on Borneo island with an Australian and three other people on board.
Officials say the plane was chartered by Elliott Geophysics International and failed to return from a surveying mission in Bontang on Friday.
It is believed the the pilot, two other Indonesians and the company's Australian owner, Peter John Elliot were on board.
Indonesian rescue officials say an eight-member team has been sent to search the area where the plane lost radio contact with the airport.
A DFAT spokesman says Indonesian airport authorities have confirmed the aircraft went missing over the country's East Kalimantan region.
DFAT says a search and rescue operation has been called off for the night, but it is expected to resume later this morning.
The Australian Embassy in Jakarta is aware of the incident and is providing consular assistance to the man's family.

Part-night street lighting consultation
The Council's Cabinet approved the decision to implement part-night lighting across Surrey at its meeting on 18 October 2016. Further details on the programme, roads to be included and answers to frequently asked questions can be found on the dedicated part-night street lighting pages.
Report a fault with street lights
- To report an electrical hazard or emergency, please call our Contact Centre.
- Report a non-emergency fault with a street light.
Who maintains Surrey's street lights?
The majority of street and sign lights (over 90,000 units) are maintained by us. Others are owned and maintained by borough or district councils. For example council car parks or recreation areas, as well as some council or trust owned housing areas.
Routine street lighting maintenance programme 2017-18
We have an annual programme of routine maintenance for street lighting which involves checking, cleaning and keeping the street lights in working order.
We schedule several jobs in one day to minimise disruption and most of our work is carried out with a small amount of traffic management – it is usually completed within 10 minutes. Examples of this type of work includes bulk lamp changes, electrical testing, a visual inspection and checking for any other faults.
View the dates of work in your borough or district below. Those not listed will be allocated to a future programme.
Please note: the dates below are subject to change, please visit our roadworks page for the most up to date information on the works happening in your area.

Chris Klein is to become a father for the first time.
The 'American Pie' actor revealed the happy news that he and wife Laina Rose Thyfault - who he wed last August - are expecting a baby together on his 37th birthday yesterday (14.03.16).
Sharing a photo of Laina's bump on Twitter, he wrote: "My beautiful wife Laina and I are expecting our first child.
"23 weeks along. Gratefully blessed on my 37th B-Day."
Chris previously admitted he was "very grateful" to have married Laina.
"Laina looked beautiful. She holds herself with such grace. I am a very grateful man."
The newlyweds decided to get married at the Rainbow Ranch in Montana, even though they're both originally from Texas.
Chris previously explained: "We fell in love with the area and the nature. Luckily, we have families who love to travel and also love nature, so it was the perfect spot for us."
The Hollywood hunk - who was previously in a relationship with 'Batman Begins' actress Katie Holmes - first met Laina at a mutual friend's wedding and proposed to the blonde beauty in Venice Beach, California, back in December 2014.

Welcome to Sherish!
A Note from our founder, Alan Stanford
If you're like a lot of us, you aren't satisfied, or even comfortable, with trying to manage your photos. With so many formats, cameras, old prints, storage places and desktop apps, it isn't easy. And yet, it should be. We should be able to easily find, enjoy and share all of our cherished photo memories.
Our family was growing and so were our photos, making it even more difficult and time consuming to organize, share and enjoy photos of our children, grandkids, parents, trips, events, precious moments, even selfies - all those memories we captured to savor but found it hard to do. We needed an easy to use, all-in-one app. Even more importantly, we wanted it to be only ours...no advertising...totally private.
Recognizing such an app wasn't there but could be, we assembled a team of talented, dedicated designers and developers and Sherish was created.Co-founder Jared Brown joined and led the team.
Our promise is that Sherish "share & cherish" is the only app you will ever need to safely receive, share, organize, curate, save, back up and print (copies, photo books, etc.). Sherish makes this possible by using the powerful computers in your mobile smartphone coupled with the flexibility and safety of cloud storage.
Sherish is totally private with no advertising and no privacy-threatening behaviors that accompany advertising-supported apps. We refused the "free" advertising-dependent revenue model and chose a simple subscription model offering unlimited storage for a small monthly or a discounted annual charge. We've focused first on photos on iPhones, and we'll be adding video and more features soon as well as extending Sherish to Android devices.
Sherish is a privately funded company based in Indianapolis, Indiana, with a talented virtual team spread across the U.S. and Europe.
We have created a private all-in-one app for all of us, our families and friends to Sherish photo memories now and for years to come.
Please check out our blogs, the rest of our website, and join us. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Let me know how we're doing and what more we can do.

My email looks like the 2nd line in your screenshot (sent at 1:25pm).
I just checked my CJ settings, and didn't have all types of email enabled in the interface, which could be the reason I didn't receive the second, more offensive, version.
Will probably quit the program anyway, my gourmet site is not a priority for the next few months, and it's time to eliminate negative merchants from my life.
August 13th, 2013, 11:53 AM #7
I've been curious for some time about why the "get active or get out" thing happens. There must be a conflict of interest between what the merchant needs and what the AM wants.
A merchant needs to have as many pages on the Internet displaying his brand as are possible to increase the likelyhood that the next Google algo tweak will result in more and more exposure. They need to be playing the law of averages so to speak. Merchants should be in it for the long haul.
Some AM's appear to place their own interests ahead of the merchants and this appears to be what Joanna is doing. Is it because some AM's have a background in brick and mortar direct sales and don't realize how Internet marketing works?

It has to do with stupid metrics. They want to say that before they were managing the program, 7% of the affiliates were active with clicks. Now there are 67% active affiliates. Look what a great job I did.
They also think its a great motivator.
Thanks From:
August 13th, 2013, 12:29 PM #11
I have metrics, too.
One of them is the merchant needs to send out more than 7 emails over two years. Not one of those was a reaching out email...
Get active? That's the pot calling the kettle black...

August 13th, 2013, 03:48 PM #12I've been curious for some time about why the "get active or get out" thing happens. There must be a conflict of interest between what the merchant needs and what the AM wants.
High site conversion on the same traffic (clicks).
Reduce clicks from affiliates not converting sales so those that are converting look like their doing more.
Have been on a four month tear with a merchant and the programs I manage to get conversion increased. We have doubled and guess what, EPC doubled with similiar traffic as this time last year. Now we are set to pound traffic to the merchant via affiliate and watch this puppy go to orbit.

haha, nice reply converge...
As I wrote in a similar thread awhile back:
On the contrast, here is an email I got a couple of days ago from another CJ merchant. A merchant I have never made a sale with as far as I know. I spent several hours today working on some promotions for them, tell me which email motivates you more to promote them? I won't name them as they have a privacy thing at the end of the email that it's for me only:
Dear (me),
(Merchant) Help Leads Tracking!
We want to inform you that as of May 20th, (Merchant product) leads are tracking properly.
In the spirit of our partnership we would like to offer you compensation on the (Merchant offer) conversion at a payout of $10 per conversion. You have been compensated the amount of $130 and it will appear as a Bonus which can be viewed in the Account Manager.
As of May 20th we are compensating on the lead with a payout of $4 per lead.
Feel free to let us know if you have any questions or concerns, thanks.
(Merchant) Affiliate Team
Many AM's just don't get it, they think threatening affiliates is going to motivate them, they are so wrong. I would guess the only affiliates that they might get to work harder for them are noobs who have made very little sales if any and the merchant is a well known brand name.
This post is evidence that if AM's want to motivate affiliates then offer them a carrot not a shovel.Hosting Discounts from Professional Rates Hosts - Deals and Coupons on Domain Names from GoDadday, Namecheap, Domain.com and more top registers.
