May 17, 2012 —
At the two most recent Upper Delaware Council (UDC) meetings, some new wetlands mapping that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has done in the Wallkill watershed—mostly in Orange County, but some in Sullivan—has come under fire. The mapping would increase the amount of designated New York State wetland, subject to DEC jurisdiction, by about 16,000 acres in that watershed.
It is not yet known whether the DEC will even adopt the new mapping, but outrage was expressed at the meetings that so much land could potentially become difficult or impossible to develop, and the impact of that fact on property values and tax rolls. To the extent that some affected wetlands may lie in the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational river corridor, it was decided that the issue is a matter of concern for the UDC; and the council took up a suggestion by Bill Rudge, the council's DEC representative, to arrange for a briefing on the subject.
We think the fact that rural landowners frequently take the full financial hit for stewardship of the ecological services from which everyone benefits is unfair and needs to be addressed. We don't, however, think it's the primary business of the UDC. The council's main focus, surely, is the preservation of the quality and quantity of the water in the river and the condition of its banks. And in that regard, the preservation of wetlands—not just in the river corridor, but in the headwater areas of the river's tributaries—is a huge plus.
In arguing against the expansion of designated wetlands, one councilmember noted that people are more important than frogs. The problem is that an environment in which frogs can't survive is one in which people's survival is threatened as well.
For instance, wetlands are indispensable to flood protection. Take a look at the Mississippi: according to the Environmental Protection Agency, that river's wetlands once were ample enough to hold 60 days of floodwater, and now hold only 12. New Orleans has been perhaps the chief casualty of this fact, but by no means the only one; many Mississippi River communities suffer catastrophic flooding again and again. We have a chance to be more provident here.
People die in floods. How much are those lives worth? And even in purely financial terms, millions of dollars worth of property are lost to flooding in the Delaware River basin virtually every year.
Also remember that the inverse of flooding is groundwater recharge: water having time to settle into the aquifer rather than rushing over the land's surface and out to the sea. As climate change leads to more severe and extreme weather events, from downpours to droughts, both of these services have become more essential than ever before—to humans, not just frogs.
Wetlands are also essential to pollution control. They trap sediments, trap and break down pollutants and recycle nutrients. And these benefits are generally provided to larger downstream bodies of water even when no surface connection is apparent, via groundwater.
It is these considerations that are surely the primary province of the UDC.
That said, we also think that somebody or other needs to take another look at how the cost of stewardship of resources like forests and wetlands is being distributed throughout society. In the current system, it's handled through property taxes—which means that though individual landowners who preserve forest or wetland may receive some monetary offset in the form of tax reduction, the rural area in which they live does not, with the burden merely shifted onto their neighbors' shoulders. Nor does the offset necessarily compensate them fully for the loss of financial value. Meanwhile, it is frequently the downstream urban and suburban areas that benefit most. In our overpopulated, over-polluted world, to say that properties with wetlands on them are less valuable is lunacy; they are, in fact, just about the most valuable real estate on the planet. We just need to find a way to make dollar flow reflect that.
Society needs to make a major shift in how it values natural resources, building the costs of depleting them and the rewards for preserving them into actual financial transactions, and seeing to it that all who benefit pay to maintain them. It's a problem that needs to be addressed at the state, national and even international level, and perhaps we should be writing to our representatives about doing just that.
But the UDC's business is the river. And for the river and the health of the species, including homo sapiens, that rely on it, wetlands protection is absolutely essential. [See related story on page 4].

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Akakor is an alleged ancient underground city somewhere between Brazil and Peru. The German journalist Karl Brugger describes this city in The Chronicle of Akakor (1976) after interviewing Tatunca Nara, a Brazilian Indian. The book is a fact fiction: the interview with Tatunca Nara is the only source and the city is not confirmed separately.
Tantunca Nara speaks about possible contact with extraterrestrials in the ancient past and these extraterrestrials are believed to build this mysterious city. Other two similar cities are mentioned in this book - Akanis and Akahim.

Four of Arizona's Representatives in Congress co-sponsored a bill that addresses the rights of sexual assault victims in the military. The bill passed with House unanimous approval Thursday.
Arizona Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick, Ron Barber and Raúl Grijalva co-sponsored the bill to extend whistleblower protections to military service members who are victims of sexual assault.
In a statement, Barber said HR 1864 will protect those who report assaults, a number, many have said, is low because assaults go under-reported.
Earlier this month, he spoke on the House floor about sexual assaults in the military.
"Last year nearly one out of every 16 active duty women reported having been the victim of an unwanted sexual contact," Barber said. "This is a deplorable situation."
Measures to protect those who serve, and who are victims of assault, are important, he said.
"The vast majority of men and women who are in our armed services, serve us with honor and distinction," Barber said. "But their dedication is undermined by those who commit sexual assaults."
The bill would also require a U.S. Inspector General investigation of all allegations of sexual assault in the military. It next goes to the U.S. Senate for consideration.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) encourages grant applications for research to anticipate, analyze, and address the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of the discovery and use of new information and technologies from human genetic and genomic research. This announcement is made together with 8 other components of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).*
The publication of an accurate, comprehensive sequence of the human genome in April 2003 marked the completion of the international human genome project. The biomedical research community is now interpreting this fundamental source of knowledge about human biology and developing new approaches for applying genomic technologies and information to improving human health throughout the lifespan. In the next few years, people will have to seriously consider numerous ethical, legal, and social questions raised by the availability and use of this information, and then formulate and implement policies to address many of them. Proactive and sustained efforts will be needed to ensure that the potential benefits of these new technologies are maximized and potential harms minimized.
Examples of research areas of interest include: intellectual property issues surrounding access to and use of genetic information; ethical, legal, and social factors that influence the translation of genetic information to improved human health; issues surrounding the conduct of genetic research; issues surrounding the use of genetic information and technologies in non-health care settings; the impact of genomics on concepts of race, ethnicity, kinship, and individual and group identity; the implications, for both individuals and society, of uncovering genomic contributions to "normal" human traits and behaviors; and how different individuals, cultures, and religious traditions view the ethical boundaries for the uses of genomics.
For more information, potential applicants should contact Dr. Robert Finkelstein, Program Director, Neurogenetics Cluster, NINDS, Neuroscience Center, 6001 Executive Boulevard, Room 2143, Bethesda, MD 20892; telephone: 301-496-5745; fax: 301-402-1501; e-mail: email@example.com.

Designers showcase paint from the British company Farrow and Ball because of its luscious colors. But Farrow and Ball costs two to three times more than other paints. Consumer Reports included it in its tests of more than 60 paints to see what you get paying top dollar.
On Farrow and Ball's website, these designer photos show off the beautiful colors of its paints. But the Farrow and Ball's paint is pricey — about 100 dollars a gallon! Consumer Reports compared Farrow and Ball to far less expensive paints from Home Depot and other stores.
All face the same tough tests. This checks for stain resistance. Stained swatches go into this scrubbing machine to see how easily — or not so easily — the stains scrub off. And this test checks to see how well each paint can cover dark stripes. "It is very important to get good coverage from a paint because it'll reduce the number of coats that you'll have to put on to cover the existing color." The expensive Farrow and Ball paint couldn't cover well with one coat. You can still see the lines. Look how much better this 34-dollar Behr paint from Home Depot did.
And as for Farrow and Ball's beautiful colors, Consumer Reports sent a secret shopper to Home Depot to see how closely it could match a sample of Farrow and Ball with its Behr paint. Back at the labs, testers compared the color of the two paints using a colorimeter. Rico De Paz, "They're very close." The color difference was within one percent. As for the stain-resistance test, the Farrow and Ball paint did do a good job, but so did the 34-dollar Behr paint. In the end, the Satin Enamel Behr Premium Plus Ultra earned top ratings. There's another advantage to Behr Premium Plus Ultra. Unlike Farrow and Ball, it's a primer as well as a paint. So you don't have to cover bare surfaces with a primer first.

SYSVOL junction inherits NTFS permissions from the drive root
This article was previously published under Q319808
If you run the Dcpromo tool, you can specify a different drive and a different path for the SYSVOL folder. The Dcpromo process sets special NTFS file system permissions on SYSVOL and its subfolders except for the following two junction points:
- %SystemRoot%\Sysvol\Sysvol\Mydomain.com
The junction target is %SystemRoot%\Sysvol\Domain.
- %SystemRoot%\Sysvol\Staging areas\Mydomain.com
The junction target is %SystemRoot%\Sysvol\Staging.
The File Replication service (FRS) and the Group Policy object (GPO) are not affected if the changed NTFS permissions are inherited from the drive root.
FRSWinnt\Sysvol\Staging areas\Mydomain.com is used only by FRS. FRS uses the NTBackup function and does not need explicit permissions to access the required folders.
GPOThe inherited NTFS permissions on %SystemRoot%\Sysvol\Sysvol\Mydomain.com do not affect how a GPO is applied. After the client computer's Group Policy dynamic-link library (DLL) file connects to the SYSVOL, the Group Policy DLL uses SMB NT create against Mydomain.com\Policies\GUID (where GUID is the globally unique identifier [GUID]) to read the appropriate policy setting from the GUID folder. Because the bypass traverse checking policy setting does not step through all the subfolders explicitly, it allows access to the target folder (by default, this policy setting is turned on; Microsoft recommends that you use this policy setting). Therefore, the inherited NTFS permissions on Winnt\Sysvol\Sysvol\Mydomain.com have no effect on the GPO.
NETLOGON Share AccessThe %SystemRoot%\Sysvol\Sysvol\Mydomain.com\scripts folder is not affected by the inherited NTFS permissions. The settings are the same as the settings of a default installation. The NETLOGON share can be accessed.
Default PermissionsBy default, the following NTFS permissions are set on junctions. Microsoft recommends that you use these settings.

The unrelenting barrage of category four and five hurricanes in the southeast had management at Florida-based mega-retailer ABC Fine Wine & Spirits shaken and stirred—and keenly aware of their vulnerability. Over 150 retail stores in latitudes as far north as Tallahassee and as far south as Miami could be isolated without access to the company's IBM System i 550, which is housed in the executive office complex next to its 250,000 square foot distribution center in Orlando.ABC's i550 hosts core business applications, including Manhattan Associates' supply chain management software, Infinium Financials, Kronos Timekeeper, WebSphere-developed Web store applications, wireless systems support for store ordering and delivery verification, POS batch processes, and others. This system runs 24x7 without an operator."Damage to our main office could very possibly take this system offline," says Jeff Armentrout, ABC's man in charge of high availability. To underpin business continuity for the largest privately owned liquor, cigar, and gourmet food operation in the UnitedStates, ABC installed an i520 to act as a fallback. This machine operates in a distant building on a separate power grid about a quarter of a mile from headquarters. A direct-connect fiber channel with one gigabyte of bandwidth links the i550 and the i520 together, and iTera High Availability faithfully replicates every critical transaction.
In the interest of due diligence, ABC weighed the virtues of several System i HA solutions and decided its money would be best spent on iTera High Availability. According to Armentrout, "We also looked at MIMIX from Lakeview Technology and *noMAX from Maximum Availability. iTera High Availability is great technology, and the pricing structure is a lot more attractive. When you buy a license for a primary machine, you can get several backup node licenses inexpensively. Other vendors charge an expensive fee for each backup node."

Latest from the Conspiracy
More Hidden Fees and Taxes in the Fed medical Fascism Law - aka 'Affordable Care Act'
As Social Security was a lie, a ponzi scheme from the start; as it, medicare, medicaid and the "CHIPS" program are all unconstitutional, so we see the unconstitutional medical fascism law forcing insurance companies to act in certain ways (which will raise costs dramatically, inspiring more people to drop their policies), and we see false promises and hidden fees in the law.
Some of those fees are clearly designed to raise further the prices of individual policies, inspiring more young people to not buy, which, in turn, will increase the prices once more...
The plan has been well-crafted for the elimination of private insurance companies in a few years.

ESS Crossbow Photochromic Ballistic Eyeshield - ESS Eyepro
The ESS Crossbow Photochromic eyeshield is created using Transition Optics...
Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2285 is a liquid containing 15 compounds from common accelerants in various certified concentrations. SRM 2285, developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will be used to calibrate instruments that help analysts classify residues found at the scene of a fire into six categories of fuels.
The hydrocarbon compounds are separated and identified based on how long it takes for them to pass through an instrument called a gas chromatograph. Users analyze the SRM, analyze the residue from the crime scene, and compare the results from the chromatograph to help identify the components used to set a fire.
In helping investigators accurately identify the components and thus the original fuel used to set a fire, the SRM may help improve the 2 percent national conviction rate for arson cases.

2. In a Bar- Try to overhear a conversation between two people that sounds like your native tongue, but doesn't make any sense. For example, "Are you?" "On On." "Did you catch a down down for short-cutting Wrect Him's Eagle?" "Yeah, I shortcut like a wanker, missed the whichy-way, hit the false and snared the hare during a live lay." "Hashit for sure."
3. At the Grocery Store- Look for the shopping cart full of PBR 30 packs, 10lbs of flour, children's sidewalk chalk, one bag of cheesy puffs, three bags of assorted Doritos, cookies and a handle of Jim Beam.
4. In the Fabric Store- Look for the girl holding eight different swathes of tulle and testing them for durability in the alphabetic beads aisle.
5. When your friend drags you to join his "running club" and things like this happen:
6. Back at the Bar- Aim for the fit girl absolutely owning a handful of dudes during a beer chugging contest.
7. During a Marathon- Around Mile 21 follow the chalk arrows to the small cups of beer. Your targeted Hasher will be knocking back at least 8 of these, surrounded by her kennel.
8. On the Street- Listen for the person using the phrases "kennel" and "pack" in the same sentence, without any mention of dogs or wolves.
9. Among Acquaintances- It's that friend of a friend who introduces himself as such: "Hey, nice to meet you I'm Asstitfu--Mike. I'm Mike."
10. At the Running Store- Look for the girl trying to take the insert out of the shoes she just tried on; she's not checking for a proper heel cradle, she's making sure those new boots are a proper vessel.
11. In the Department Store- Look for the fellow shopping for women's dresses. If he seems to lean towards the color red- he is most likely a Hasher. If they are any other color he might be a tranny (and that's OK).

I just returned from a trip to Hilton Head, South Carolina where family tradition has us gather for Christmas every couple of years. I know they aren't perfect, and there are not necessarily an unmitigated good, but I wanted to take a moment to appreciate our Interstate highway system. What a remarkable piece of work. That a sleep-deprived schmuck like me can barrel across a third of the continent while my family snoozes at my side is kind of breathtaking when you really stop to think about it. And I more or less take it for granted.

Churches allowed to meet in NYC public schoolscomment (0)
July 12, 2012
A federal judge ruled on June 29 that churches and other faith groups can continue to meet in New York City public school buildings for worship services. The ruling followed a Feb. 12 deadline that banned the use of New York City schools by churches.
The courts lifted the ban in February while a judge reviewed the law. On June 29 Judge Loretta Preska of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the churches a permanent injunction against the New York City Department of Education, determining the city's policy of prohibiting worship violated the Free Exercise Clause and the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
According to a study by LifeWay Research, two-thirds of Americans believe public schools should rent to churches and other community groups.
After this study was released following the developments earlier in the year in New York City, officials from the State Board of Education in Alabama granted some insight into Alabama's policy on this issue.
According to Larry Craven, general counsel for the Alabama State Board of Education, in Alabama, churches are treated the same as other entities when it comes to access to public school property.
"If a school system has in place a policy of allowing any entity the opportunity to rent space from the church for a meeting, then it must allow churches of all denominations to do the same," he said. "Under these circumstances the denial of access to any organization will be viewed as discriminatory."
The study by LifeWay found that 65 percent of those surveyed agreed with the statement "public schools should rent to churches and other community groups," while 16 percent responded that schools "should rent to other community groups but not churches."
Additionally, 12 percent believe "public schools should not rent to any churches or community groups." One percent believe "public schools should rent to churches but not other community groups."
New York state residents are less likely to embrace a law allowing churches to meet in schools, although a plurality (49 percent) there still believe public schools should rent to churches and other community groups. Twenty-seven percent believe "public schools should rent to other community groups but not to churches." Nineteen percent believe "public schools should not rent to any churches or community groups" while 1 percent said they should rent only to churches. The New York State sample included 123 respondents and the sample was not large enough to break out New York City residents.
This assessment of whether churches renting space in schools are prevalent in Alabama is not assessed at a state level. "In Alabama, the State Department of Education does not have a record of renting of schools by churches," said Malissa Valdes, public information manager for the State Department of Education. She said the local board district offices maintain that data.
The reactions to the January survey were in response to the question: "New York City is no longer allowing churches to rent space in any public schools out of concern that a school would be identified with one particular religious belief or practice. Which of the following statements best describes your opinion?"
LifeWay Research President Ed Stetzer said the ban had considerable implications for churches in urban contexts and new startup congregations. "Historically schools have been welcoming locations to churches, especially in larger urban centers where schools are in the heart of the communities," he said. "A trend of banning church use of public schools could have significant implications."
According to the study, there are several statistically significant differences between subgroups of Americans.
Americans who live in a large city are less supportive of church and community group use of public schools, with 21 percent saying "public schools should rent to other community groups, but not churches." Americans who "never" attend a worship service are the least likely (32 percent) to agree that churches should be able to meet in public schools and the most likely (39 percent) to select "public schools should rent to other community groups, but not churches."

LONDON (AP) — A massive, partly fossilized egg laid by a now-extinct elephant bird has sold for more than double its estimate at a London auction.
Christie's auction house said yesterday that the foot-long egg, nearly 9 inches in diameter, fetched 66,675 pounds ($101,808). Valued at 20,000 to 30,000 pounds ($30,538-$45,807) pre-sale, it was sold to an anonymous buyer over the telephone after about 10 minutes of bidding.
Flightless, fruit-gobbling elephant birds resembled giant ostriches and could grow up to 11 feet tall. Christie's says their eggs are 100 times the size of an average chicken's.
Elephant birds were wiped out several hundred years ago. The oversize ovum, laid on the island of Madagascar, is believed to date to before the 17th century.

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
Distinctive architecture can put previously obscure destinations on the map; that could well end up being the case for Changsha. The capital of China's Hunan Province, the city's origins stretch back some 3,000 years and it's home to over 2million people, yet remains largely unknown to travellers outside of Asia.
As part of an ambitious development plan, a new district is being constructed in the city and its focal point will be a sinuous, Mobius strip-style pedestrian bridge that arcs over Meixi Lake. With a span of 490ft (150metres) and a height of 79ft (24metres), the undulating bridge incorporates a variety of routes at different levels and its looped design also references traditional Chinese knots, which are used in decorative Chinese folk art. The design was conceived by Amsterdam-based firm Next Architects and will be constructed in 2014.
The area directly around the bridge will contain recreational facilities, ecological features and further tourist attractions and will become one of the region's main leisure centres. The surrounding district is being developed by New York-based architects Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and, in addition to a 40 hectare lake, will include a business sector with tram network, canals and eight neighbourhoods.
The forthcoming Changsha bridge is one of a number of confirmed and proposed distinctive bridges that may function as symbolic shorthand for certain cities in future. Thomas Heatherwick has submitted designs for the development of a "Garden Bridge" in London, and a "Fan Bridge" is due to be built in Paddington. Designers in Porto, meanwhile, have suggested relocating a decommissioned Gustav Eiffel-designed bridge from a ravine on the outskirts of the city to a river-free district in its centre.

Hey Fratricide.
Please show us what you have tried and what you have thought about to solve the problem.
The cost, $C, of manufacturing each jacket of a particular type is given by the formula
C = an + b for 0 < n ≤ 300
where a and b are constants and n is the size of the production run of this type of jacket.
For making 100 jackets, the cost is $108 each.
For making 120 jackets, the cost is $100 each.
a) Find the values of a and b.
b) Sketch the graph of C against n for 0 < n ≤ 300.
c) Find the cost of manufacturing each jacket if 200 jackets are made.
d) If the cost of manufacturing each jacket is $48.80, find the size of the production run.
If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your help. From there I was able to finish the question... mostly. The part of the question asking me to sketch the graph has me stumped. I thought I knew what I was doing, but then a wild 28 appeared!
Where does the 28 come from?

For the last week and a half I have been on location at Rocklane Church in Greenwood, Indiana filming a series of bible studies for Dynamic Women in Missions. Dynamic Women (DWIM) is a ministry of One Mission Society that strives to inspire women to become more involved in international ministry by connecting women with a passion for Christ with other women on mission fields all around the world of OMS.
Practically speaking, this is lived out through the organization of women's based short-term mission trips to Haiti, Ecuador, Colombia, Spain, South Asia, and Hong Kong (to name a few places they have travelled recently). While on the mission fields, the DWIM teams minister to the lives of OMS missionary women in their fields of service as well as female international partners through a series of bible studies, and other hands on acts of love, that they have developed over their years of travel. "Beautifully Broken" and "The Main Ingredient" are two such bible studies that have had a great impact on the lives of women all around the world.
I have had the privilege of filming the "Beautifully Broken" and "The Main Ingredient" bible studies with Annie in the chapel of the Rocklane Church as well as a series of historic portrayals of biblical women by Gemma. It is a beautiful old chapel that has been recently renovated, which allowed for a great venue.
Our time hasn't been without it's challenges. There is major road that runs right next to the church and an elementary school a couple of miles down the road, so we have had buses and heavy trucks periodically interrupt our filming. We had interference with our wireless microphone, which created for an interesting experience trying to come up with a solution. And then last night and this morning it decided to snow (not as much as my friends in Kentucky got yesterday) but enough to make the country roads around the church a bit treacherous till the snow plows came through in the late afternoon, which then posed an annoying audio problem.
But through it all we have persevered and I believe have gotten some great footage of some powerful teaching. I look forward to seeing how the Lord will use what we have done here today. The next step, editing through the hours of footage. I may not make it out of my office for awhile.

Great Place02/16/2010
What a great place to take your pet!! They are kind, compassionate and thorough. Since being recommended by a friend, we have taken several animals to them and continue to do so. They have never, NEVER asked us to spend any more than is necessary to care for our animals. The vet is conservative, but unwilling to take chances. Thank you Summerfield Vet, you guys make taking our animals to the vet a pleasant experience.

He's only going to be a key contributor if he plays the right game. We don't need him stagnating ball movement at the start of games. The fundamental triple threat has been lost on Gallo. He's not even a single threat ATM.
He looks slower, less confident and worse on defence this year. That's a lot to work on. Never mind, obviously, his rude shooting and shot selection.
Give him one more week, and if he hasn't brought himself back, he's not worth the experimentation. One and a half years of that is enough. I doubt any other coach would put up with a starter coming in to the season so out of sync.
I agree that we need his contribution. Right now, however, I'm more looking forward to AR coming back than holding out any hope for Gallo who lost his game in an absentee off-season.
I don't think that's unreasonable.

Isetan's basement-level food floor offers the usual wide mix of Japanese, Western and Asian prepared foods, and it's a convenient place to buy a bento or other take-away food before catching the train upstairs.

Celebrating Stories: Transforming our Lives | Terry Laszlo-Gopadze
In her presentation, "Creating Your Destiny," Terry Laszlo-Gopadze, editor of "The Spirit of a Women: Stories to Empower and Inspire," will share stories from her book with the hope that they will inspire you to live your life with more meaning, passion and purpose. Each of us has a great calling, or dream. Our dreams, our longings and even our challenges can lead us to where we belong in the world. We are creating our future, whether we realize it or not, by the stories we choose to guide us.
Author and poet, Mark Nepo, tells us of the importance of story, "Knowledge that matters, that helps us to live, comes to us through honest stories. And those only surface because of the courage of those who admit to the messy splendor of living." Let's gather together and celebrate the messy splendor of living!
The workshop series will bring participants together to hear stories with the diverse themes: "Connections," "The Gift in the Challenge," "Changes and Choices," "Divine Interventions." We will gather in a circle to conceive, compose, and tell stories, while being offered ideas to start your own stories. In our final session, we will carry our stories in to the Labyrinth in the Ranch's oak grove. Every story has a gift. What will yours be?
Terry Laszlo-Gopadze, a compelling storyteller and award-winning author, brings humor, courage and compassion to her listeners, as she inspires them to create their own stories and to live their most meaningful dreams. She is a public speaker, therapist and personal development workshop leader. Offering workshops on storytelling, creating your destiny, finding the gift in the challenge, forgiveness, and healing are her passion and joy.
In her work as a licensed psychotherapist, Terry has spent over thirty-five years listening to the stories of others going through difficult passages and helping them to positively transform their lives. This led her to celebrate the heartfelt stories of women, who live inspiring spiritual lives in challenging circumstances, and to gather them into the book "The Spirit of a Woman: Stories to Empower and Inspire." You can join her story-telling network and visit Terry and the authors online at http://www.womens-spirit.com
Terry is currently a faculty member and coach for Leap to Success, a leadership and empowerment program for women. The participants are rebuilding their lives from homelessness and domestic violence.

Shop Small: Small Business Saturday
November 15th, 2012 | Add a Comment
This week, the week before Thanksgiving, we are being bombarded with more than just turkey recipes and guest RSVP's. The moment we get the mail from the mailbox or turn on the TV, we are hit with loads of Black Friday advertisements. The super sales, the amazing deals. And each year, the doors open earlier and earlier, and the deals from major companies seem to get better and better. Millions of dollars in revenue are made the day after Thanksgiving, ushering in the holiday season.
But what about our small local businesses?
I can't begin to express the importance of 'Shopping Small.' Shopping the small local businesses in your community is beneficial for so many reasons. First, you are putting money directly back into your community. Shopping local isn't helping expand a large corporation. Rather, it is encouraging local economies. It means the people in your community are employed, and the hardworking small business owners are gaining support.
One of the greatest aspects of 'Shopping Small' is the personal relationship you have with your purchases. I love knowing where my purchases are coming from. I like going to the bakery on my main street and picking up bread because I know she made it by hand herself. I like going to the children's boutique down the street because the owner knows me by name and is particular about the items she chooses to sell in her store. I like going to my local coffee shop because they roast their own coffee and know what i order. I like my shopping experiences to be personal, and like the TV show Cheers: "where everybody knows your name."
A community without small businesses would be vacant. And these communities would struggle to flourish and thrive.
How can you support your community?
Small Business Saturday is November 24th. Spend a day in your town. Start by having breakfast at the local cafe. Grab a hot beverage at the local coffee shop. Spend the morning (or afternoon. Or evening) poking around all the shops. Get to know the shop owners (they'd love to talk to you!). And then make purchases that will support your community!
If you are on twitter and 'Shopping Small' on November 24, use the hashtag #SmallBizSat
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of American Express. I received a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Major hotel brands have been unveiling expansion plans in China at a key conference over the past week.
Many chains are planning to considerably beef up their presence in the country, with a series of deals unveiled this week at the Hotel Investment Conference Asia Pacific.
Hyatt announced a total of 11 new properties, confirming that four new hotels would be opened next year in Ningbo, Jinan, Guiyang and Qingdao, a mix of areas designed to target both business and leisure travelers.
InterContinental unveiled new properties for its "lifestyle" brand Hotel Indigo October 13, aiming for expansion into "energetic cities" such as Xiamen and Taiwan.
Wyndham announced plans for a further three properties in one place — the popular island of Hainan, already home to some of the country's best resorts.
It will build three resorts in Boao, including the 350-room Wydham Boao Resort and Conference Center and the 106-room Wyndham Boao Resort, set to open in 2013 and situated on a private beach with three outdoor swimming pools.
The grandest project is the 300-room Wyndham Grand Boao Resort and Spa, a luxury retreat scheduled to open in 2017 which features an indoor pool, extensive spa and fitness facilities, two restaurants and a bar.
The announcements confirm China's already-leading position in the global hotel market — according to global hotel analyst STR, there are already a whopping 92,559 rooms under construction in the country.
