at Hannah Playhouse, Wellington
From 5 Oct 2013 to 12 Oct 2013

"Coming ready or not!"
And this audience is ready. Ready with enthusiastic shouts and laughter as the characters, 3 cousins – Helen Grant, Anna Neyland and Martin Quicke – race playfully onto the stage.
Hilarity ensues as we yell, "Behind you!! Over there, behind that one, no the other one!" – the classic theatre gag that never seems to lose its appeal. And the delighted giggles and snorts from the full-ish house at the opening performance are so loud at times, the interactions sometimes swamp the actors dialogue.
When the cousins realise they won't see each other for a year, they wonder how long that really is and begin the journey through the seasons.
These seasonal worlds are expertly brought to life with narrative by writer Peter Wilson, and songs by composer and lyricist Laughton and Jenny Pattrick, beautifully interwoven with dance, Debz Ruffell's exquisite puppets, NZ sign and te reo.
Each season is depicted through great use of light, vibrant or muted as required, humour, both scripted and spontaneous audience contributions and delicious swirling textures of fabric props which often become backdrops to set each seasonal mood and image with an informative 'phases of the moon' song being the recurring segue for each change.
Seasons is a wonderland of learning and entertainment with many highlights; particularly the aforementioned puppets animated so splendidly both vocally and physically by the actors; the chuckles from young and old during the bird courtship and egg laying 'labour'; the life-cycle of the butterfly and such memorable songs, like the Spider using fun onomatopoeic 'boing's' while it bounces on a clever web 'spun' between two of the several moveable panels used extensively throughout the production as skylines, trees, wharfs, garden beds, and walls.
For me the only incongruous character, although very cute, is the ballet dancing lamb. The other characters, although their personification is amplified, stay true to their identity.
The suggested age range of 2 – 7 yrs is bang on and my daughter at 2.5yrs relates our recent observations about spring in our garden by calling out "new leaves" and "food" to the birds as they return in spring after finding no food in the winter segment.
Seasons is in its 13th year of performance and I'm sure has had many of its own life cycle changes over this time. This production is tight, excellently performed and the flow is faultless.
It seems fitting that it plays at the Hannah Playhouse – better known as Downstage Theatre – at this time of 'seasonal changes'. Let's hope that the theatre is now just like the little mouse in hibernation, ready to burst forth with new life and vitality when spring comes around again.

From the Publisher:
The civil rights and black power movements expanded popular awareness of the history and culture of African Americans. But, as Stephen Hall notes, African American authors, intellectuals, ministers, and abolitionists had been writing the history of the black experience since the 1800s. With this book, Hall recaptures and reconstructs a rich but largely overlooked tradition of historical writing by African Americans.
Hall charts the origins, meanings, methods, evolution, and maturation of African American historical writing from the period of the Early Republic to the twentieth-century professionalization of the larger field of historical study. He demonstrates how these works borrowed from and engaged with ideological and intellectual constructs from mainstream intellectual movements including the Enlightenment, Romanticism, Realism, and Modernism. Hall also explores the creation of discursive spaces that simultaneously reinforced and offered counternarratives to more mainstream historical discourse. He sheds fresh light on the influence of the African diaspora on the development of historical study. In so doing, he provides a holistic portrait of African American history informed by developments within and outside the African American community.

Apologies, friends, from my weeks long absence. You have no idea how activity-packed my heavenly life is! And mama's had her hands full with puppy Timmy Elijah and exciting work projects. But no excuses, as I have missed you all terribly!
Today is a very special day on earth and in heaven. It's Easter, of course. A day of rebirth and release from earthly attachments. And, it's also Buddha's birthday… did you know that? To celebrate, mama and her grandma (my GG) attended a special rose-petal ceremony at the Spiritual Center for Positive Living. 90 minutes of music, meditation and a ceremony of light and love left mama and GG in a state of blissful joy.
Following service, the humans joined more family for a relaxing brunch full of good stories, giggles and more love. And, I must say, that mama's aunt & uncle asked about me and wondered when they would hear from me again. Overseeing their conversation, I was moved to make time in my schedule to put paws to the keyboard and reconnect.
While my human family was enjoying each other and good grub, Wilbur and Timmy were waiting at home. Since Timmy is still a wee pup and can't be completely trusted, mama crates him when she leaves the house.
Sadly for Timmy, he had a poopy accident in his crate and sat in his mess. Laid in his mess. And, in a desperate attempt to escape his soiled crate, Timmy flung poopy pieces out of his crate and all over the room!
Luckily, mama was floating in a fog of blissful contentment when she returned to a very messy, smelly puppy and house. Mama immediately stripped down to her skivvies (no need to dirty her Sunday best) and scooped a very anxious Timmy into a warm bubble bath. It took nearly an hour for mama to clean Timmy, the crate, his bedding, the floor and the walls. And two sticks of incense barely made a dent in the stench!
I would like to think it's my influence on mama that she handled this situation with love, laughter and gratitude. Grateful that she has a wonderful companion in Timmy and no amount of stinky dung can dim that gratitude and love.
As my readers know, I had my fair share of accidents and naughtiness in my earthly carnation, and
It's been a blessed Easter for my family and I wish the same for you and yours. What did you do to celebrate Easter? Passover? Buddha's birthday? The rebirth of spring?

WEBSITE OF THE DAY: Silk
You may remember Silk. It's an online experimental generative artwork that weaves silk-like patterns simply by clicking and dragging your mouse.
It proved popular as an iPad app too.
And now it's even better. At new.weavesilk.com you get to play with the latest incarnation of this hugely addictive, mesmerising creative tool.
The patterns you create are mathematically generated so they're actually quite tricky to control fully, and the fact that you can't go back just makes it even more engaging. You have to go where the calculations controlling the pixels take you. Even the simplest of shapes takes on an ethereal quality as the colours shoot off in tangential directions with each new click of the mouse.
And with a couple of different symmetry styles to choose from, you'll be creating weird and wonderful masterpieces in no time.
It's perfect for a dreary winter Monday, so enjoy.
If you have a useful, funny, or just plain weird website that you want to tell us about, drop us a line using our feedback form.

10 – George Weah (89 rating)
The Liberian striker first arrived in Europe in 1988, and enjoyed successful spells with AS Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan.
His stints with Chelsea and Manchester City were less successful, before a brief renaissance with Marseille in the new Millennium.
EA's stats certainly reflect his style of play, with 93 pace, 86 shooting, 85 dribbling and 85 heading. Just don't play him at the back, with 71 passing and 59 defending.

Michael K. Williams

|Michael Kenneth Williams
November 22, 1966
Brooklyn, New York, U.S.
|Years active
Michael Kenneth Williams (born November 22, 1966) is an American actor. He is best known for his portrayal of Omar Little on the HBO drama series The Wire[1][2][3] and Albert "Chalky" White on the HBO series Boardwalk Empire.
Life and career[edit]
Born in Brooklyn, to an African American father from South Carolina and a Bahamian mother from Nassau, Michael K. Williams was raised in the Flatbush Gardens housing projects in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York City[4][5] and attended George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School.[6] According to a DNA analysis, he is descended partly from the Mende people of Sierra Leone.[7]
After getting in some trouble as a youth, he enrolled at the National Black Theatre in New York City. He later got a job at a pharmaceutical company. Inspired by Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814, he left school and quit his job, against the wishes of his family, to pursue a career as a dancer. During a year in which he was intermittently homeless, Williams visited record labels and dance studios looking for work. He got a job as a background dancer on a music tour for Kym Sims' dance anthem Too Blind To See It, which led to more work appearing as a dancer in videos and on tours, such as with George Michael, Madonna, as well as some modeling work. He also choreographed Crystal Waters' 1994 single 100% Pure Love.[8][9]
He was given one of his first acting roles after being discovered by Tupac Shakur and was cast as High Top, the brother and henchman to Shakur's drug kingpin Tank, in the 1996 film Bullet.[10]
Williams is well known for his large facial scar, which he received during a bar fight on Jamaica Avenue on his 25th birthday in which he was slashed with a razor blade.[11] The scar led to his being offered roles as a thug in music videos.[11] He eventually embraced the scar, citing Seal's scarred face as an inspiration. His scar became his signature and earned him photo shoots with noted photographers like David LaChapelle.
Michael K. Williams also serves as the American Civil Liberties Union celebrity ambassador to end mass incarceration.[12]
The Wire[edit]
Williams is known for his portrayal of Omar Little in The Wire, which began filming in 2002. The character was based on Donnie Andrews, as well as other crime figures in Baltimore.[13] Williams received the part after only a single audition.[14] He was initially told that the character was slated to appear in just seven episodes of the first season and feared that the character would be killed before the end of the season.[14] However, creator David Simon stated that they always planned to keep the character as part of the continuing ensemble should the show be renewed beyond the first season.
For his portrayal of Omar, Williams was named by USA Today as one of ten reasons they still love television. Omar was praised for his uniqueness in the stale landscape of TV crime dramas and for the wit and humor that Williams brings to the portrayal.[1] Omar has been named as one of the first season's richest characters, a Robin Hood of Baltimore's west side projects. The Baltimore City Paper named the character one of their top ten reasons not to cancel the show and called him "arguably the show's single greatest achievement".[3] In 2007 he was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Omar.[15]
Williams pursued the role because he was intrigued by Omar's contradictory nature.[14] He felt Omar's popularity stemmed from his honesty, lack of materialism, individuality and his adherence to his strict code.[14] He feels that the role has been a breakthrough in terms of bringing attention to him and getting further roles.[16] Williams has received both positive and negative reactions to Omar's homosexuality and feels that he is successful in challenging attitudes and provoking discussion with the role.[16] During the previous year, before the third season, he discovered Felicia Pearson (Snoop) in a Baltimore bar.
In 2008, then-U.S. Senator Barack Obama cited The Wire as his favorite television show, and called Omar his favorite character. About Omar, Obama said, "That's not an endorsement. He's not my favorite person, but he's a fascinating character... he's the toughest, baddest guy on the show."[17]
Williams suffered from an identity crisis during his portrayal of Omar Little, going by his character's name, and developed a habit of smoking cannabis and an addiction to cocaine in 2004.[18][19]
Other work[edit]
Williams had a recurring role on J. J. Abrams' Alias. He also had a recurring role on Abrams' produced Six Degrees.[16] He has also made brief appearances on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (playing two different characters on two different seasons), Boston Legal, The Sopranos, Law & Order (playing three different characters on three different seasons), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (also playing two different characters on two different seasons), Human Giant and Third Watch.
Williams makes a brief appearance as the shooter at the beginning of the music video for Young Jeezy's "Bury Me a G".
He appeared in The Kill Point as recurring guest star Q, a police sniper alongside The Wire co-stars J.D. Williams, Michael Hyatt and Leo Fitzpatrick. He auditioned for the starring role of Mr. Cat but was forced to take a smaller role due to scheduling conflicts; the part of Mr. Cat went to J.D. Williams instead.[20] Williams played a Boston area detective named Devin Amronklin in the 2007 film Gone, Baby, Gone. The film is based on a novel by Dennis Lehane, who has written for The Wire, and was adapted and directed by Ben Affleck. Amronklin is a recurring character in Lehane's Kenzie-Genarro series of books. Williams says that he enjoyed working with Affleck and characterized him as a passionate and hands-on director.[16] The film also featured his co-star from The Wire, Amy Ryan.
He played Teddy, the former boyfriend of Nikki Tru (Kerry Washington) in the Chris Rock film I Think I Love My Wife. He played James, a policeman, in singer R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet". He also appeared in The Game's "Dreams" and "How We Do" music videos, Tony Yayo's "It's a Stick Up" music video and Cam'ron's film Killa Season, as well as Trick Daddy's video "Tuck Your Ice In", Sheek Louch's "Good Love", and Young Jeezy's "Bury me a G" alongside his The Wire co-star Hassan Johnson. In 2013, Williams appeared in ASAP Rocky's video for "Phoenix".[21] Williams played the role of The Thief in the 2009 film The Road, an adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name.[22] In 2010, Williams appeared in the film Life During Wartime. The character he played, Allen, was portrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffman in the film's predecessor, Happiness.
Williams also starred in the film A Day in the Life, which was directed, produced and stars rapper Sticky Fingaz. The entire film is a musical with every line being delivered in rap verse. Williams starred in HBO's Boardwalk Empire for its 5 seasons (2010-2014). He appeared as Albert "Chalky" White, the leader of 1920s Atlantic City's black community.
On July 23, 2011, Community creator Dan Harmon revealed that Williams would star in "at least three episodes" of the sitcom's third season.[23] He plays the role of Biology Professor Marshall Kane at Greendale Community College. In November 2011, it was announced that Quentin Tarantino has written a new character into the script of his new film Django Unchained.[24] Williams, who had previously confirmed that he was actually in talks with Tarantino to take on the titular role of Django,[25] was to portray a minor character in the film, but scheduling conflicts with Boardwalk Empire prevented him from doing so.
On May 16, 2012, Williams announced that he is an executive producer of the independent film Snow On Tha Bluff, Williams' first film under his company, Freedome Productions. On Power 105.1fm's The Breakfast Club, Williams revealed the June 19th release date for Snow on tha Bluff, describing the movie as "real graphic": "everything that is wrong with the 'hood is in this movie".[26] Williams also shared on 105.1The Breakfast Club that he is starring in an African American western "They Die By Dawn" with his co-star Snoop from the HBO series "The Wire". Williams also revealed that he is starring in the lead role as Ol'Dirty Bastard from the Wu-Tang Clan in the movie Dirty Whiteboy in 2014. Which is based on the relationship ODB had with his manager during the last 2 years of his life. Williams mentioned the piece was special to Ol'Dirty Bastard (ODB) because he grew up listening to him and to Wu-Tang and he is also a Brooklyn native.[27]
In 2013, he starred in MGMT's music video for Cool Song No. 2.[28]
Williams has recently been featured modelling for GAP's 2014 fall collection.
On March 9, 2015, it was announced that Williams would appear in SundanceTV's Hap & Leonard.[29]

4b4the4th is an e-mail and social media campaign that helps raise awareness and much needed funding for the Spina Bifida community. By reaching out to friends, family, and colleagues who are linked through electronic means of communication such as Facebook and Twitter, each of us can do our part to increase knowledge and available support for those affected by the birth defect.
SBA launches its 4b4the4th campaign every March, which is four months before the 4th of July (hence the name of the campaign). Team Captains make and solicit donations of $14, $40, $400 or more and ask 4, 14, 40 or more of their friends to do the same…all before the 4th of July.
Team Captains compete against each other to win a variety of prizes, including SBA merchandise and gift cards. The Team Captain who raises the most amount of money will receive a complimentary 3-night hotel stay and registration for two at SBA's 2016 National Conference and a $250 gift card to the retailer of their choice.
Want to Get Involved?
Sign up to be a Team Captain here. We will send you a fundraising toolkit packed with information to make your campaign a success.
Want to make a donation, but don't want to be a Team Captain? Make a general donation or support another participant here.
If you are on Facebook or Twitter, you can also get involved by helping to forward information about 4b4the4th to your social media contacts. 4b4the4th is not only a fundraising campaign – it's about raising awareness about Spina Bifida and its prevalence and how every woman of childbearing age is at risk of having a child born with the condition.
What will your donation do?
Here are some examples:
Not on a Social Networking Site?
Have no fear - you can still participate in the 4b4the4th campaign. Simply send an email to your friends, family, and other contacts asking them to support your efforts. You can also hold a fundraising event if you so choose.

How do you make the O2 Arena your own? It's hard to make a gig feel intimate when you have a 20,000 capacity crowd, but you could start by jumping off the stage with your band and bouncing up to a narrow corner to play 'Green Eyes' and 'Death Will Never Conquer', crammed in to the aisle with your mate on harmonica. Even though your mate happens to be comic genius Simon Pegg, it's hard not to feel you're in a much smaller local space, in a spontaneous lock-in style singalong with the biggest band in the universe on hand to entertain.
Coldplay have always managed to create a sense of euphoria with their anthemic pop-rock and Chris Martin's joyful frontman performance, and this is more than aided by big bucks-fuelled touches and an unashamed nod to cheesy one-liners and crowd-pleasing antics – giant 'Yellow' balloons drop from the ceiling; a magical burst of paper butterflies churn from every side of the arena and fall on the delighted crowd during 'Viva la Vida' and everyone throws their hands in the air, faces turned up towards the sky; Martin sings 'Fix You' and people are moved because let's face it, we all want someone gorgeous to write a beautiful song for us out of of love. The fact that these gestures are so genuine, and so clear is the passion for performance, mean it's impossible to stay doubtful for long about the talent of this singer-songwriter and his band.
They are preppy and clean cut; dare we say it, there is a little of U2 in the outfit, though the sweet dancing clown that is Martin is a thousand times more likeable than the lead singer of the latter. Flinging himself around like he is bouncing off a car bonnet, he excels at his piano solo of 'The Hardest Part' and during the pounding chorus of 'Clocks'. This is pop music, made because it is simple and good, loved for the same reasons. At the end a girl stoops to pick up handfuls of paper butterflies in the aisle. 'I love him', she says solemly as we pass. Whatever you think of Coldplay, they are wedged in people's own soundtracks; for now they are here to stay.

An Interview with Chris Costa on Costa Ludus
Chris Costa talks about his new company, Costa Ludus. Thanks to Juggernaut Media.
About Costa
Prior to Costa Ludus, Chris Costa spent 4 years as the President of Magpul Dynamics. Before founding Magpul Dynamics, Costa spent 7 years in the private sector at Applied Marine Technologies Inc. (AMTI) on assignment with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Risk Management Division (RMD). At AMTI, Costa specialized in teaching Police Tactical Assault Operations for both Maritime and Critical Infrastructure take-back. Costa also provided Red Team Vulnerability Assessments on critical infrastructures for the US Government.
Prior to this, Costa spent 12 years with the United States Coast Guard, conducting counter-drug operations and special missions in Europe, the Middle East, and South America with such units as: the International Training Division (ITD), Maritime Law Enforcement Academy, Plank-Owner of Port Security Unit 302, and the Taclet Law Enforcement Team North.
About Costa Ludus
Due to my background, I found it fitting to choose the trident, shield and net to represent Costa Ludus. My family has been in the maritime industry for a very long time. My grandfather served in the Navy during World War 2; after the war, he was employed as a master rigger by Concordia Company, Inc. One of my uncles was a New England fisherman and tug engineer, while another uncle is a retired U.S. Coast Guard Vietnam veteran. My father retired from the U.S. Coast Guard with 20 years of service, and he is now a licensed Captain. I spent 12 years in the U.S. Coast Guard before joining the private sector at Applied Marine Technologies Inc. (AMTI).
Costa Ludus conducts training for the game of life, where the knowledge and skills learned in training may one day translate over to the streets or battlefield, determining life or death. We train others with the understanding that life is bigger than us. We understand the sacrifices that others make on a daily basis for our freedoms – that is why we take training so seriously.
Sincerely - Christopher Costa
The class we just finished over these past 3 days was fantastic!! I don't know how you live with that crazy man!! We had a blast. He did like my beard, but he talked a lot to my ponytail!!

Procurement Chief: Measure Contractor Performance
April 17, 2013
Joe Jordan, the top White House procurement official, recently told a gathering of government officials and contractors how he and his wife sometimes travel to New England and look for places to stay along the way. He wasn't giving travel advice, though.
The remarks, delivered at an acquisition conference in Washington, aimed to highlight a way the government can improve how it does business.
"It really bothers me at a personal, visceral level that when I look for a bed and breakfast because my wife and I are going away for the weekend, I have vastly more descriptive information ... about the quality of bed and breakfasts within a three-hour drive of D.C. than what many agencies have when they answer to a $20 million IT services contract," Jordan said. "That's ridiculous."
Make sure to read this article and see what NCMA's executive director, Michael Fischetti, has to say on this topic!

One of Fort Wayne's most rad homegrown companies is One Lucky Guitar, a design and marketing boutique founded by Matt Kelley in 2000. OLG is known in this city and beyond for its inspired and stylish portfolio, but there's a hidden gem within the walls of its downtown headquarters. The B-Side is an incredibly intimate and crazy cool venue where an array of performances take place. Concerts of all genres, literary readings, stand-up comedy and dance performances are booked in the exposed brick and beam spot that oozes atmosphere. The space is inviting and cozy, almost like you're sitting in the living room of a really hip friend. Sitting in the second row at the Steve Forbert concert, I could have reached out and touched him (not that I'd do such a thing). Some shows are all ages; some shows are BYOB (or whatever your libation of choice may be). Mandolin Orange, a singing/songwriting duo with bluegrass roots from North Carolina, is scheduled for April 16.Check out upcoming events, buy tickets, look through the show archive and get yourself a T-shirt (downy soft, they are) by going to www.oneluckyguitar.com and clicking on The B-Side at the top. While there, click on The Dial, OLG's blog, for an always-entertaining peek into its creative world.
The food at Salsa Grille is fantastic and fresh and this locally owned eatery is one of my family's favorites. But the best thing about Salsa Grille is its … wait for it … salsa. For me, a Mexican meal lives and dies by the quality of the salsa. Pleasing me, salsa-wise, is hard to do (I hate chunks. I loathe onions. I really hate chunks of onions). I was thrilled from the start with the restaurant's salsa bar. The 12 varieties are freshly made in house and feature unique flavors, and some of them are even smooth, no chunks! While I regularly eat the salsa verde and the avocado salsa, it's Salsa Grille's Pineapple Salsa that is my hands-down favorite salsa, possibly of all time. Charred fresh pineapple, lime and smoky chipotle chilies combine to make a sweet and tangy flavor that pairs well with whatever you've ordered. The Salsa Bar is complimentary with your food order, but if you want to take some to go (you'll want to take some to go), specialty salsas start at $2.99 for 8 ounces and premium salsas start at $3.49 for eight ounces. Salsa Grille, 7755 Coldwater Road, is open 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Mon.-Sat. and 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Sun. (260) 755-6905 or www.salsagrille.com.

Holy hell...
I went through the trial that was the tier 4 B1 heavy french tank - I thought I earned my right to an OK tank.
Have any of you played the hell that is the tier 5 BDR french tank?! I mean, sure, I don't have a 100% crew on it... but I wasted a good amount of credits and now have this useless pile of garbage with the top gun, top turret, top engine, and top tracks. What I get for my effort and the use of my XP was a heavy that is slower than any other tier 5 I know of, while having the armor of a light tank that allows anything to pen it, anywhere, from any angle - oh, yeah, and a super-slow reload to ensure that if, by some off chance, you do catch up to where the action is, you will only ever get off two or three shots before the battle ends, or before you die.
I am seriously considering creating one of those Hitler-reacts YouTube videos about this pile of garbage and the garbage we all had to work with before getting to the BDR.

Teresa, as well as the rest of the Stultz team, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful when helping us look for our first home. She was always a text or phone call away when a question came up and went out of her way to ensure that we had everything we needed from house hunting to closing. Awesome realtor! Highly recommend!

Team reviews
Teresa is absolutely the most professional, dedicated and organized real estate professional that I have worked with. I do not know anyone who works harder for her clients. Teresa has experience in negotiation, understands her market, communicates well with her clients. Teresa sold me my home and, as an attorney, I have been grateful since that time to represent many of her clients in their transactions. Time and again I have seen Teresa help her clients successfully navigate the home-buying process from contract, through inspections, to loan approval and closing. I strongly and without reservation recommend Teresa to my friends, family and clients.
I highly recommend Teresa. She is fantastic with people and very knowledgable about her field along with many other areas that relate. She is very professional and honest, two qualities I require. I'm happy to recommend her to many friends, because there is no doubt in my mind that they will encounter nothing but a great working relationship with her. Many of those now are repeat customers.
Working with Teresa and Steven Stultz has been a joy and they have made the entire process of selling our home as painless and as easy on us as possible. And I want you to know that we have never even met yet face to face (I live in Georgia and the home that needed to be sold is in Illinois). We are to meet next week at the closing – yes the home is sold thanks to the hard work of Teresa and Steven. I found both to be very professional, truthful, courteous and willing to go above and beyond to help us. Being 1,200 miles away when small things happened, Teresa was right there to take care of them, including buying bottled water for the back-up sump system, negotiating with a painter (when it was clear the house needed this to be sold) to paint the home, stopping by when the weather turned cold to make sure the heat was high enough so the pipes wouldn't freeze, being there to listen to an old lady (me) worry about all these things and would the house sell. When we got two offers on the home she helped me walk through and think through the options and which would be in the best interest of my family. Even after the sale, she continued to monitor the home to make sure that all was well as we approached our closing date. I feel as if I have made a new friend, someone who cared about us as much as selling the home. I have already and would highly recommend them to anyone selling or buying a home, you can tell that their passion for Real Estate and helping people comes from their heart.
Working with Teresa and Steve definitely made our experience with selling our old home and purchasing a new home a stress free experience. They educated us on the processes and were able to use their professional expertise on strategies on how to sell our home as quickly as possible with minimal loss. On the other end, they were able to find us a home and were able to negotiate the price down that was beyond our expectation. They were able to provide personal experiences where we felt that they were not just our realtors, but also our friends. They listened to our needs and were able to follow through. We would highly recommend them to friends and family or others who are in the market of selling/purchasing a home.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
29:1-6 Job proceeds to contrast his former prosperity with his present misery, through God's withdrawing from him. A gracious soul delights in God's smiles, not in the smiles of this world. Four things were then very pleasant to holy Job. 1. The confidence he had in the Divine protection. 2. The enjoyment he had of the Divine favour. 3. The communion he had with the Divine word. 4. The assurance he had of the Divine presence. God's presence with a man in his house, though it be but a cottage, makes it a castle and a palace. Then also he had comfort in his family. Riches and flourishing families, like a candle, may be soon extinguished. But when the mind is enlightened by the Holy Spirit, when a man walks in the light of God's countenance, every outward comfort is doubled, every trouble is diminished, and he may pass cheerfully by this light through life and through death. Yet the sensible comfort of this state is often withdrawn for a season; and commonly this arises from sinful neglect, and grieving the Holy Spirit: sometimes it may be a trial of a man's faith and grace. But it is needful to examine ourselves, to seek for the cause of such a change by fervent prayer, and to increase our watchfulness.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 2. - Oh that I were as in months past! or, in the months of old. To Job the period of his prosperity seems long, long ago - some-thing far away in the mist of time, which he recalls with difficulty. As in the days when God preserved me. Job never forgets to refer his prosperity to God, or to be grateful to him for it (see Job 1:21; Job 2:10; Job 10:8-12, etc.).
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Oh that I were as in months past,.... Which is either an earnest wish for restoration to his former state of outward prosperity; which he might desire, not through impatience and discontent under his present circumstances, or from a carnal and worldly spirit; but either that the present reproach he lay under from his friends might be taken off, he observing that they accounted him a wicked man and an hypocrite, because of his afflictions; wherefore he judged, if these were removed, and he was in as prosperous a condition and in as good circumstances as before, they would entertain a different opinion of him; or, that his words might be better attended to, as they were by men, both young and old, and even princes and nobles before, it being a common case, that what a poor and distressed man says is not regarded; or that he might be in a capacity of doing good to the poor and fatherless, the widow and the oppressed, as he had formerly; or, this wish is only made to introduce the account of his former life, by which it would appear, that he was not the man his friends had represented him to be, from the favour he was in with God, and from the respect shown him by men, and the many good things done by him: but since, by various expressions, which before had dropped from his lips, it appears, that he had no hope nor expectation of ever being restored to his former outward happiness; this may be considered as a wish for the return of spiritual prosperity, wishing he was in as good frames of soul, and as much in the exercise of grace, and was as holy, as humble, as spiritual, and heavenly minded, as he was when he had so much of the world about him; and that he had but the like communion with God, and his gracious presence with him, as he had then. The state of the Lord's people, God-ward, is always the same; his election of them stands sure; the covenant of grace with them is unalterable; their interest in a living Redeemer always continues; grace in them is a principle, permanent and perpetual; but there may be, and often is, an alteration in their frames, and in the exercise of their graces, and in the open regard of God unto them; their graces may be low in exercise; there may be a decay of the life and power of godliness; their frames may change, and the presence of God may be withdrawn from them, and they may have no view of interest in salvation, at least not have the joys of it; wherefore, when sensible of all this, may be desirous it might be with them as it was before; that God would turn them again, and cause his face to shine upon them, that they might be comfortable; the particulars of Job's former case follow, which he desires a renewal of:
as in the days when God preserved me; either in a temporal sense; God having set an hedge of special providence about him, whereby he and his, his family and substance, were remarkably preserved; but now this was plucked up, and all were exposed to ravage and ruin; or in a spiritual sense, as he was both secretly and openly preserved, and as all the Lord's people are, in Christ, and in his hands, and by his power, spirit, and grace: the Lord preserves their souls from the evil of their own hearts, sin that dwells in them, that it shall not have the dominion over them; from the evil that is in the world, that they shall not be overcome by it, and carried away with if; and from the temptations of Satan, so as not to be devoured and destroyed by him, and from a final and total falling away; he preserves them in his own ways, safe to his kingdom and glory; but sometimes all this does not appear so evident unto them, as it might not to Job at this time; who observed the workings of his corruption, and the breaking out of them, in passionate words, wishes, and curses, and the temptations of Satan, who was busy with him to go further lengths, even to blaspheme and curse God; so that he might fear that God his defence was departed from him, the return of which he was desirous of; see Isaiah 49:14.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM has a unified user interface experience between its Web Client and CRM Outlook Client. Web Forms can sometimes contain quite a bit of content, data, and code. To ensure you, as the user, have a great experience in our CRM Outlook Client, we have designed a feature that will optimize how you open Microsoft Dynamics CRM forms. When you open more than five Microsoft Dynamics CRM forms, we will be begin to mark as read-only, the oldest forms that have no changes. The form will be designated as read-only by making it gray. If you decide to focus on a read-only form, it will reload into its edit mode. At any time you can many have five forms in Edit mode.
This was introduced to reduce the stress on virtual memory that has caused performance and Out Of Memory issues.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Update Rollup 12 introduces a change that limits the amount of open editable Microsoft Dynamics CRM forms to five.

A survey of 129 companies last month in Australia and New Zealand revealed that Australians were even more inclined to living plants with 41% choosing them first - almost more than twice the percentage of the next choice, a coffee machine (22%). The next choice, a vase of flowers, was the choice of 19%.
New Zealanders were more equally divided with 26% choosing living plants, 26% choosing a coffee machine and 27% for the vase of flowers.
"We were surprised by the result – we certainly thought that people would see greater benefit in something they could consume rather than just enjoy! " said the Asia Pacific Regional Director for Ambius, Mr Ray Borg.
"We found that Australian office workers were much more positive about plants and their value than their counterparts in New Zealand. It is possibly because of an awareness of the research work done in Australia on plants' contribution to indoor air quality and productivity," said Mr Borg.
Other main findings included:
More New Zealanders (87%) thought plants make an office feel more welcoming, compared with 79% of Australians. Only 34% overall thought that plants helped reduce noise around their workspaces.
Ambius, one of Australia and New Zealand's leading indoor plant suppliers, conducted the survey to assess the perceived value of plants in the workplace. There were 62 company participants from Australia and 67 from New Zealand.
"The survey confirmed some of the findings of research conducted at Sydney University of Technology – that plants in an office do have a positive effect on emotions and productivity, as well as clean the toxins from the air," said Mr Borg.
"The study was also conducted after a new plant/life balance campaign had begun by Nursery & Garden Industry Australia so results may also reflect the success of that."

Some 600,000 to 700,000 welding professionals currently work in the United States making welding a critical skill that will always be in demand. Nationally the average age of welders is 54 years old.
SalariesSalaries for graduates range from $12.11-$18.48 per hour.Source: Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation, Labor Market Statistics
Frequently Asked QuestionsWill I be a certified welder when I graduate from the program?No! The students are trained to certification standards but it is much too costly to seek certifications. The instructor can provide more details as needed. I have a felony; will this reduce my employment opportunities?Possibly. The date and type of felony are important factors. Employment opportunities are increased for those who have been released from prison or terminated their probation seven or more years ago, especially if there have been no additional significant charges during that time. What types of welding will I learn? The most common four welding processes taught are:SMAW (Stick)GMAW (MIG)FCAW (Flux Core)GTAW (TIG) Students also learn: OFC/W (Oxy-Fuel Cutting/Welding/Washing)CAC/G (Carbon Arc Cutting/Gouging)PAC/G (Plasma Arc Cutting/Gouging)What is the earning potential for experienced welders? Welding is a very diversified field; salaries are also diversified. Entry-level welders can make between $12-$19 per hour. Experienced welders can make from $18,000 - $80,000+ annually. What skills do successful welding students have in common? They have good attitudes, demonstrate self-discipline, good hand-eye coordination, and the ability to problem solve. A good attendance record and class participation are traits that successful students have in common. Do students buy their own safety and welding equipment? Yes, students need to provide their own personal tools and equipment.What are the job opportunities in this field? Welders are in high demand, therefore; graduates have many options depending on individual skill levels. The welding field is booming in the Tampa Bay Area. Local fabrication and manufacturing shops are hiring from outside the Florida Area. Welders can consider jobs in the power and energy, aerospace, shipping, automotive, entertainment (movie and music) industries. Welding is a part of most trades, and therefore, it is everywhere.
What other career opportunities exist in the welding field? Welding is a stepping-stone for all in the trade. Welding can be a career in itself or welders can go on to become fabricators, supervisors, quality control inspectors, business owners (sub-contractors), engineers, etc.
Where have graduates found employment?Graduates have been employed by Crumpton Welding, Tampa Steel Erectors, Law Engineering Testing Lab, Misener Marine Industry, Florida Structural Steel, Nichols Trailer Shop, Tampa Bay Ship, Tampa Armature, South East Mechanical, Moretrench Environmental, Design Options, Marine Metal, Gulf Marine, and International Ship .
Is job placement available upon graduation?
