This is a good standard hotel which offers easy access to the city centre.
The hotel has a peripheral location, about 20 minutes by bus from the city centre. It is in a quiet residential district.
Rooms are of average size and contain all the modern comforts normally found in a hotel of this category. Some rooms are in need of renovation. Nevertheless, in general the rooms are acceptable. The bathrooms are tiled in white and are fairly large.
Situated on the ground floor, the restaurant is often used to host large functions and weddings. It serves both international and local Italian cuisine. It is basic rather than luxurious.
This is a modern-style building which has a pleasant facade and is reasonably well kept.
The lobby is large and well maintained, with enough space to comfortably check in and out.

Company | Profile
When former Elle magazine editor Katherine Power and Elle contributor Hillary Kerr started the blog Who What Wear in 2006, they sought to be a friendly voice in fashion. The blog, and the parent company that Power and Kerr founded in 2012, Clique Media Group, has grown to be much more than that—a new media empire that's also shaking up the retail world.
Power and Kerr built up a variety of digital verticals under the Clique umbrella—MyDomaine for home decor, Byrdie for beauty—with the dream of one day expanding them into physical brands. That happened for Clique's fashion destination in 2016, when Who What Wear debuted a runway inspired, real-world-priced Target clothing collection. The line, which gets updated 12 times a year, is informed by data gleaned from Who What Wear's site and social media accounts. (Kerr and Power might take to Snapchat to ask their followers whether they should make a skirt in one fabric or another.) The crowdsourcing has worked: The Target line has recently expanded into shoes, and it has paved the way for more Clique retail collaborations.
Power and Kerr are experimenting with "IRL"—in real life—meetups for readers of Obsessee, Clique's publication for Generation Z (Obsessee exists only on social media platforms, it has no web address). A 2016 Obsessee pop-up shop in Los Angeles, where Clique is based, processed more than 1,700 transactions, but an influx of cash wasn't the goal. Everything in the store was sold for social currency: To purchase an item, consumers had to photograph it, put it on social media, and tag Obsessee. Look for Clique to continue to disrupt traditional shopping going forward.

Ball Heads
Gain the freedom to quickly and effortlessly change your shooting angle with CameraPro's range of ball heads from Gitzo, Manfrotto, Induro, Vanguard, Cullmann and Three Legged Thing. Ball heads are the most versatile of all tripod and monopod head designs. Cameras mounted on ball heads can be rotated quickly and smoothly through 360-degrees around their centre-points, and at up to a 45-degree angle of lateral tilt, making them ideal for photographers who want to mix in angled images with regular levelled shots.
Ball head options
Ball heads range in size and design to support consumer and professional cameras of all weights and sizes. Made from magnesium the Gitzo GH2780 ball head series is a class leader supporting up to 14kg load capacity. For pros, the high-performance Manfrotto 054 and 055 Magnesium Ball Heads with Quick Release plates are also recommended, as are the Vanguard SBH-100 and SBH-200 ball heads.
For more choice why not take a look at Induro's BHD dual-action ball heads. These are pro-quality heads featuring the extremely versatile Arca-Swiss style quick release system. Three Legged Thing's Evo 2 AirHeds are fantastic products too – especially if you own a Keith or a Tim!
Mini ball heads with a payload capacity of 1kg include Cullmann's range of anodized aluminium mini-ball heads. These minis are a great option for compact camera users. But if you're looking for a more creative system of angles from a ball head, do have a look at the Gitzo GH2750 off-centre ball heads. They're a unique design with a range of movement not possible in a conventional ball head.
There are no products matching the selection.

ENFIELD TOWN'S struggles against teams in the lower reaches of the Ryman Premier Division continued on Saturday as they were beaten 3-2 at home by Merstham.
Billy Crook and Karl Oliyide were on target for the hosts, but it was not enough to prevent them from slipping to a third defeat in four matches.

Zambia lies as far south as any other specialty coffee producing country in the world, which creates a unique set of challenges. Some producers, however, are adopting practices used in countries with similar environmental challenges; these efforts are resulting in higher cup quality.
Decaf Zambia Mafinga Hills was produced on the Kateshi and Isanya Estates, near the town of Kasama on Zambia's border with Tanzania. The farms have been under the current ownership since 2012, the year Singapore based Olam International purchased the Northern Coffee Corporation and revived these inactive estates. The company manages five estates throughout
Zambia, which total a massive 14,500 acres of land. The management provides worker housing on the estates, funds a school with 800 students, as well as a medical clinic and research center. The estates employ over 3,000 workers during harvest season.
Olam took over these large farms and have completely rehabilitated them. Technology seldom seen outside of Brazil has been implemented, including mechanical irrigation and nutrient delivery systems resulting in healthier, more productive trees. The majority of the estates were replanted with Catimor 129, a cross between Caturra and Hibrido de Timor, which has high
yields and disease resistance. The producers' commitment to quality at Kateshi and Isanya, and the farms' unique conditions enabled this coffee to shine. High yielding, disease resistant varieties are often vilified for producing inferior quality but, this coffee serves as a reminder that these coffees can be outstanding.
The coffee was decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process of caffeine extraction, without the use of solvents. The coffee soaks in a ͞green coffee extract that coaxes the caffeine out of the beans. The extract then passes through activated carbon filters that remove the caffeine before being reintroduced to the beans. This process continues until the beans are 99.9% caffeine free.

Share on ThriftyFunCheck out these recipes. If you have made this recipe please submit a photo and let us know how it worked. Or, add your own recipe variation.
Crack chocolate by banging pan on countertop a couple times or use back end of table knife on the chocolate, breaking into pieces.
Put pieces into a small or pint jar, cover with lid, decorate the jar. Add nice ribbon or bow with gift tag. Great little holiday gift to give. Great for the family too.
Better yet, use real chocolate, it's cheaper and WAY better for you. The wafers are filled with wax and fillers and expensive to boot (compared to on sale bags of chocolate chips!). But a good idea!
Place both chocolates, the butter, and the cream in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until the chocolate is melted, stirring after every 45 seconds to prevent overheating. (Alternately, you can melt the mixture on the stove top over a double boiler).
Once the chocolate is melted, stir until the mixture is smooth. Sift the powdered sugar over the bowl and stir until well-combined. Chill until the mixture is firm enough to shape, about 1 hour.
Using a teaspoon, scoop up small amounts of the candy and roll them into small balls between your palms.
Press a candied cherry into the top of each ball, inserting it enough so that it is secure but still protrudes from the top.
Place the shredded coconut in a bowl. Roll the sides of the fudge balls in the coconut, so that it sticks to the chocolate but does not cover the cherry. If the chocolate is very dry and the coconut does not stick, try dampening your hands slightly and holding the candy with one hand while pressing the coconut onto the candy with the other. The water from your hands will help the coconut stick in an even coating.
Repeat with remaining candies until all are covered with coconut. Store the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, and allow to come to room temperature before serving.

This seems like a lot of Hershey bar to me, 26 ounces ? Please, tell me it isn't so !!
This recipe is a Christmas favorite of mine. Makes your house smell wonderful when making.
This is a great candy for Christmas!
Glue 1 ribbon onto wide side of gum package, 1 raisin package, 2 more gum packages and 1 more raisin package, spacing cars about 1/2 inch apart.
THREAD marshmallows on lollipop stick to resemble a snowman.
Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. In medium saucepan, melt candy coating over low heat, stirring constantly. Add remaining ingredients; toss to coat. Spread mixture thinly on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
Recipe for Christmas Gumdrops. Combine gelatin with cold water and soak for 10 minutes. Dissolve 4 cups of sugar in the boiling water and stir in the softened gelatin. Simmer SLOWLY for exactly 15 minutes and remove from heat.
Share on ThriftyFunThis guide contains the following solutions. Have something to add? Please share your solution!
Lightly grease cookie sheet, set on wire rack.
In pot, dissolve 2 cups sugar, 3/4 cup light corn syrup, and 3/4 cup butter.
WITHOUT STIRRING, boil to 300-310 degrees on your candy thermometer. Remove and wait two minutes. With WOODEN SPOON, stir in paste food coloring, using 1/2 to 1 tsp. oil flavor (and color) per batch. Pour at once into sheet, letting cool 20-30 minutes.
Lightly dust both sides with confectioner sugar and break into pieces. It's very pretty and good tasting. Excellent for holiday giving!

I would like to know ways to use POUNDS of white chocolate chips that melted (by mistake) and now are a solid mass. Could it be remelted and molded into ornaments or gifts of some sort?
Thank you.
Cheryl from Missouri
You could always freeze it then break it up with a hammer and use the chunks in baking just like you would use the chips.
You could make chocolate cookies and dip the top half or half side of your cookie. Great Halloween cookies are the chocolate cookies in shapes of ghosts and bats. Dip the top for the ghosts and dot eyes & dip wings of the bats.
Also you could make a no bake chocolate pudding pie and put the a spider web on top with your melted white chocolate. For other great idea try checking out
KraftFoods, BettyCrocker, DuncanHines...They have all kinds of holiday ideas! :)
Jennifer CA
Buy a bag of large twisted pretzels and dip them in the melted chocolate. Be sure the chocolate does not get too hot. If it is too thick, thin it with a little vegetable shortening. Never try to thin it with liquid. Dip the pretzel, tap it lightly on the edge of the pan so the coating is rather thin. Lay it on waxed paper and sprinkle with cake candies before the chocolate gets cool. A plate of these makes a nice Christmas gift.

All those restaurants…
Today, dearest loyal readers, you bear witness to the commencement of my newest ambitious endeavor: cataloging every restaurant I have ever visited. Yes, the list will grow long and unruly, and yes, it is both excessive and perhaps unnecessary, but I see it both as a way to share my broader adventures that I'm unable to write in detail about with you, as well as for my own memory, or lack thereof.
In my initial list, you can find all restaurants I've traveled to as of today going back about five years in four convenient geographic locations: Orange County, New York, Providence, and France. I'm only listing restaurants where the average bill per person amounts to more than $15 per person, because there's no way I'm listing all the In-'n-Outs and Wahoo's I've been to. Sorry. Also, I hereby charge you readers with a solemn duty: if you've been to a restaurant with me that is not listed, you must notify me in a comment post-haste and forthwith!
You can find the list in the navigation bar as a new page named "Restaurants" at the top of BlackNapkin.org next to Photos, or you can click here to be brought there directly. Enjoy!

Guess What Robin Thicke Named His New Album!
Fri, 13 Jun 2014 09:46:04
Robin Thicke Photos
Robin Thicke Videos
Robin Thicke is releasing a new album on July 1. The "Blurred Lines" singer split from his wife Paula Patton, with whom he was in a relationship for nearly 20 years, earlier in 2014. Thicke quickly embarked on a very public course of action to get her back, like dedicating songs to her onstage, while on tour. Well, the title of his new album is his boldest wife-winning effort yet.
That's right. He has named the album Paula.
Who's shocked? Not us!
Thicke and Patton share a young son, Julian.
So, yeah, Thicke is really going all out with the romantic displays. For her part, Patton has said that they are first loves and that there is still a deep love there, despite the split.
What do you think of Thicke's latest romantic olive branch? Is naming his new album after her enough to win Patton's heart and to get her back? They were one of Hollywood's most enduring couples, together since they were teens, married for nearly a decade and totally seemed to be in love, so we hope that this gesture melted the ice on Double P's heart.
—Maggie Pannacione

The massage therapists at Destination Massage & Spa ease clients' aches with more than just their hands. They maintain a running dialogue during appointments to answer any questions about the service and adapt the session to their individual needs. Eleven different massages take a variety of tracks to relieve stress, whether it's the organic essential oils of the aromatherapy massage or the penetrating warmth of the hot-stone massage. During a fourhanded session, two therapists or half of an octopus blend a number of styles and techniques to fully relax bodies. Licensed aestheticians wield Dermalogica and Éminence products during facials and exfoliating salt glows to complete rounds of pampering.

I was able to download and run the installer and get the SDK working on my Flash Builder. Two suggestions: 1) On the home page (http://incubator.apache.org/flex/index.html) under community work, point #1, instead of going to git hub (https://github.com/bigosmallm/MakeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder ) it would be helpful if it directly went to the installer (http://people.apache.org/~bigosmallm/installapacheflex/) since most people are just going to want to install the tool. 2) This is probably me being dumb, but I think a little piece of text on http://people.apache.org/~bigosmallm/installapacheflex/ asking folks to "Run As Administrator" on Windows 7 boxes will be helpful. It just got stuck on "Installation Aborted" until I realized the folly of my ways! Other than that, this is excellent work. This is even better than the old Adobe way of installing an SDK!! I just compiled all our stuff and ran our demo and it seems to be working flawlessly. We are going to be running through our test suites over the next few days and I will revert if we find any regression issues. Kudos to the community for making this release a reality.

Never miss another 'Melange' show
Gypsy / East European Night : Melange
Leader Shirley Smart formed the Melange ensemble after spending 10 years in Jerusalem playing and studying the music of the region.
This stunning world music ensemble brings together popular North African rai and chaabi songs, Gnawa music of the South Moroccan desert, exotic Middle Eastern and Turkish melodies and improvisations, lively Balkan dances, Central Asian folk melodies, across to the fiery Tango of Argentina and the street music of Brazilian choro infused with jazz-inspired improvisation into their own unique take on traditional repertoire.
Their last gig at the Vortex was described by a regular attendee as "one of the best musical experiences I have ever had." It really was stirring and beautiful - do see them now in an intimate venue while you still can!
Image © Melange
Formed in 2009 by world music and jazz cellist Shirley Smart, Melange are a fiery and exciting group of musicians with a huge range of music, from the Gnawa music of the south Moroccan desert, popular North African rai and chaabi songs, exotic Middle Eastern and Turkish melodies and improvisations, through Central Asia, to the fiery Tango of Argentina and the street Choro of Brazil,taking in the occasional Balkan tune and jazz number on the way.

Lucky Lab to celebrate her debut with some tasty treats from the swag bag.
Quite a day for a little Boston terrier, right?
Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to leave a comment!
I started this pet blog because I was a little crazy about pugs (and pug pictures!). In time, I started adding in stories about my cats, including my blind cat. And then, I got a Boston terrier. Naturally, had to add in Boston terrier pictures, too! I hope you enjoy reading this dog and cat blog.
Oh my word this is just too adorable! Love the outfit!ReplyDelete
I was going for a ballroom dancing theme. I think the dress helped a lot!Delete
I am so sad that I didn't make it to Pug Crawl! I wanted to go so bad!
Your pups are so cute! :-D
Maybe next year?Delete
That's pretty cute. Hope she had fun with all the pugs!ReplyDelete
She did! Thanks for stopping by!Delete
What a cutie! And that does indeed look like an exhausting day for a little gal! (That dark beer in the background looks yummy!) :)ReplyDelete
Heh, that was hubby's beer choice 😊Delete
Fun! We've never been. Love her outfit!ReplyDelete
If you're in the area next year, you should come! It would be fun to see you.Delete

Review for Strata40 by Dark_Ronius
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Been using this under Windows, Mac and K/Ubuntu, and I absolutely love it. Curiously it looks absolutely gorgeous in KDE whilst pretty average looking in Gnome. It goes without saying this also looks great on Windows. Looks good on Mac too, although it's still a little glitchy.

MIDEAST STOCKS-Qatar strong, Saudi recovers, Egypt extends bull run | Reuters:
"Qatar's stock market rose to a multi-month high on Tuesday in the heaviest volume since late November, buoyed by the banking sector, while firmer oil prices supported the rest of the Gulf and foreign investors bought up Egyptian shares. Qatari Islamic bank Masraf Al Rayan jumped 4.0 percent to 40.45 riyals after its board recommended a dividend for 2016 of 2.0 riyals per share, above the 1.75 riyals paid in 2015. It is in talks to merge with two other local lenders. It reported an 8 percent drop in fourth-quarter net profit to 515.0 million riyals ($141.5 million), mid-way between EFG Hermes' forecast of 478.4 million riyals and QNB Financial Services at 549.7 million riyals."

T-NDPack: Timing-driven non-uniform depopulation based clusteringPublication Year: 2009, Page(s):9 - 14
Low-cost FPGAs have comparable number of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) with respect to resource-rich FPGAs but have much less routing tracks. This leads to the difficulty for CAD tools to successfully and optimally map a circuit into these devices. Instead of switching to resource-rich FPGAs, the designers could employ depopulation based clustering technique which underuses CLBs, hence improves... View full abstract»

ICT Educational holidays
Domestic Services
I am thinking of starting a firm which organises educational holidays and weekend breaks for computing enthusiasts who want to further their programming skills. The courses might be held at a bed and breakfast house out of season I haven't thought of a solution for the summer yet. I understand that the summer is where i would get most of my business but please i can find a solution for that but what do you think of the actual idea. I could expand to teaching basic skills to maybe older people. The IT industry is growing and i think soon it will be impossible to get by without being very competent at the subject. Anyway what do you people think?

So, when I saw this book flow through my Facebook feed, I contacted the author, K Webster, and called dibs on reviewing her mermaid book, Mad Sea. Unfortunately, I haven't been sent any mermaid-themed works before, so I needed to go search out this gem by myself.
Heat Level:♥♥♥♥
Overall Rating: 6/6 Glass Slippers
Genre: Fantasy Romance Novella
When a book opens with a quote from the Disney movie The Little Mermaid, you're pretty much guaranteed a fun time. So, Madden "Mad" Finn is the bad boy; a gun smuggling, swearing, motorcycle club leader who likes to take off on Sunday for a much needed break from his drug and weapon importing business. And how does a badass hardbody relax after a long week of illegal doings? With some goddamn bubblegum flavored frozen yogurt because fuck you, he does what he wants.
Did you just laugh? I know I did. This guy is so into the register girl at the yogurt shop that he goes in once a week for some frozen delights. And not even the sexual kind since the girl, Hali, doesn't even know his name until a meddling old lady pushes the two to really introduce themselves. It looks like Mad has a shot with the beautiful girl he craves, but he has a secret… well, besides the guns and cocaine, that he thinks is too much for any girl to handle. But Hali has some secrets of her own, and an overprotective roommate that comes off more "creepy obsessive psycho" than "good friend who just wants the best for you".
I liked this book, I did! The dual POV gives you a taste of of what Hali and Mad are both thinking and Webster gave them both distinctive voices that don't get lost in the flow of this novella. The only downside? It isn't longer.

Clutter Clutter Clutter
I am just wondering is it only me who gathers so much clutter or is it a part of our human life.Today myself and my husband accomplished a long pending task of clearing the clutter in our home..sort of spring cleaning.And we were amazed by the amount of unnecessary things we have been taking care of. Sometimes we buy things assuming that we really need them but in reality sometimes we might even be removing the tag ever. I think it is just that human tendency of wanting more and more. So i just put a resolution of not buying the "STUFF"..Less is always comfortable.
Anyways I am happy that i was able to clear up lot of clutter from our house and enjoying the clutter free home..Have a wonderful weekend guys..:-)

The website for Qiyitang, a New Zealand food and beverage company in China, was successfully finalized on March 8th, 2010. During the building process, we have used many techniques, such as graphic design, web design and flash design. Flash technology is a powerful tool for websites. By using it, users can get impressed by the website easily. This was applied both on homepage and inner pages of the website, and makes the website alive. Besides all these, we also implemented a CMS for the website. This is a powerful CMS for a company website. The company can easily change the products inside and company news and so on. Now we are working on the website promotion—Search Engine optimization, trying to put the website well-known to the world.
We are also very happy that during the developing of the website, we have established a profound friendship with Qiyitang and their staffs. We were invited to the launch of the website on Jan 14th. Below are some pictures on the launch party. Hope you will enjoy them and also enjoy the Chinese and English websites of Qiyitang.

The Christian Challenge/BSU Ministries of the Baptist Convention of New Mexico are very excited to announce that we have 4 collegiate teams to serve churches across the state this summer. These teams will be available to serve 32 churches! If you are interested in hosting one of these teams please download and fill out the NM Team Church Request form below and email it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We are working diligently to fill all 32 spots by early March. Please send the request form as soon as possible, however please keep in mind that it is not a first-come first-served process. The Collegiate Ministry Office will do our best to honor God and the BCNM by making the best decisions possible. Please be patient with us as we process your requests. We may need to be in further contact with you before a team can be assigned. After the team is assigned we will work with you during the spring to determine all the logistical details for your team's preparation and service. If we are unable to assign a team to your church, please continue to request a team for future summers.
The following is information that might help you decide if your church would be able to utilize one of our New Mexico Teams.
What would the team do?
Each weekly team assignment will look different depending on the church's needs. Ideas on how the church might utilize the team are as follows.
- Sunday morning or mid-week church programs
- Helping facilitate a Vacation Bible School program.
- Outreach opportunities within the community
- Disciple Now events, youth lock-ins or other youth activities
- Sports camps; recreation
- Guided building or maintenance projects for church or community
- Landscaping projects for church or community
There are many other ways the team can be utilized. The sky is the limit.
What is the church's responsibility for the NM TEAM?
We ask that the church provide housing, meals, guidance and support during their assigned week.
*PLEASE NOTE: If the church cannot provide housing and meals this does not disqualify the church from receiving a team. We may be able work out those details.
Housing – Each team will arrive Saturday to stay with host church. We ask that girls and guys have separate rooms, with the exception of married couples. The team will leave Friday for their next destination.
Meals – If possible, the church or host homes would provide breakfast, lunch and dinner for the team members, from arrival to departure.
Guidance and Support – We request that the church give hands-on direction to the team as to how they will be serving and keep them updated if any changes occur.
If you have any questions please contact Terra Mitchell, Christian Challenge Collegiate Ministry Administrative Assistant at firstname.lastname@example.com or 575-642-2788.

Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jason Jones is doubtful to play against the Detroit Lions on Sunday with an ankle injury. Jones has been unable to practice all week after suffering the injury against the San Francisco 49ers last Thursday night. Jones has 2 1/2 sacks on the season primarily as a situational pass rusher. If he's unable to play, rookie Greg Scruggs will pick up the additional workload for Seattle. Scruggs earned his first career sack last week against the 49ers. Receiver Doug Baldwin (ankle) and cornerback Byron Maxwell (hamstring) have been ruled out. Guard John Moffitt is listed as questionable with a knee injury but isn't expected to start even if he's able to play. Moffitt has missed the last four games.

I'm so proud of you. You finally posted. -.-
Anyway, doesn't everyone make that promise? "I'll post more next year?"
| Celestialfae chapter 1 . 12/25/2012
I have a suggestion. Ask the author/authoress; cersedshadow or Guardian if you can use the elements similar to her fic; My Clan, My Mate, My Love but do it with a Chazz/Syrus flare. Except without the dragons where Syrus is an angel and Chazz is a dragon that can morph into a human. I am planning on doing something like that as well but what you do with it is up to you totally.
I swear up and down Chazz/Syrus is utterly cute pairing to behold.

Alstom minority investors criticise GE deal
By Natalie Huet and Benjamin Mallet
PARIS (Reuters) - Minority shareholders in Alstom (ALSO.PA: Quote) criticised its planned tie-up with General Electric (GE.N: Quote), saying they had not been given enough information, and some voiced concern about the French government's influence as a result of the deal.
The French train and turbine maker last month agreed a $16.9 billion deal with GE that will see the U.S. conglomerate acquiring most of Alstom's energy business. The deal, which sparked a two-month tug-of-war with the government, is expected to close in the first half of 2015.
The deal will have to win the two-thirds majority approval from Alstom shareholders during an extraordinary meeting in the fourth quarter, Alstom Chief Executive Patrick Kron told the firm's annual shareholder meeting in Paris on Tuesday.
It is not clear at this stage whether the firm's biggest shareholder Bouygues (BOUY.PA: Quote), with a 29 percent stake, will take part in the vote or accede to calls from some minority investors to step aside because of its role in the deal.
The government gave its blessing to the tie-up only after it won the option to buy 20 percent of Alstom from the construction group.
With the second-biggest Alstom shareholder having a stake of about just 5 percent, minority investors could play an important role if Bouygues decides not to participate in the vote.
A Bouygues spokesman declined to comment.
Throughout Tuesday's shareholder meeting, several minority shareholders voiced concern over the future shape and governance of the firm, which will be refocused on transport and is set to have the French state as its top shareholder. Continued...

Welcome to Life Recovery
We believe everyone can benefit from a Life Recovery experience. We all have struggles in life; struggles with addictions, food, depression, anxiety, and relationships to name a few. But we approach recovery from different angles. Some want a formal recovery meeting with a traditional recovery experience. Others want a recovery experience in a small informal group, or in an existing group they are already comfortable with at their church. And some may prefer learning about recovery at their own pace before jumping into a group or meeting experience. This is the beauty of Life Recovery. Unlike other Christian recovery approaches that mandate how and where their recovery ministry can be employed, Life Recovery brings Christian recovery to you – right where you're at.

Mission statement:
Working collaboratively with individuals, families and the community, Wildwood Programs empowers and enables children and adults with neurologically based learning disabilities, autism and other developmental disorders to live independent, productive and fulfilling lives.
Contact Information1190 Troy-Schenectady Road
Latham, NY 12110Phone 518-640-3400Contact Person- Joshua MuchmoreWebsite- www.wildwoodprograms.org
Organizational Profile
Wildwood Programs was created in 1967 when a group of parents found that their children were not served well by existing programs. What began as a program for a handful of preschoolers has since grown into an organization that provides comprehensive supports and services to well over 1,300 people and their families every year. From the child struggling in school with a complex learning disability; to the adolescent with autism trying to navigate his or her social world; to the adult with a developmental disability; to the family doing everything they can to support their child with a disability, Wildwood Programs helps people grow. Rather than developing programs based on labels or diagnoses, Wildwood has developed supports and services based on each person's characteristics, likes, dislikes and unique personality. Wildwood partners with families and offers supports and services that are individualized and tailored in a comprehensive way for each person.
Created in 1984, the Employment Services department emerged to serve the original group of children as they approached adulthood and the need for employment-related supports was identified. Just as the agency grew, so too did the employment department, as many individuals with disabilities expressed a desire to work in their local community and services were needed to address the barriers that existed. Wildwood's Employment Services staff works collaboratively with families and businesses to empower and enable individuals with disabilities to increase their level of independence and integration as members of their local workforce.
Program Design
The mission of Wildwood Employment Services is to provide businesses with competent employees and give individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities an opportunity to thrive in the workplace. Assisting adolescents and adults with ASD to find jobs and advance in their careers is dependent upon strong partnerships with families and community businesses, as a means to deliver highly individualized services to each person. There is a menu of program services that includes:
Diagnostic Vocational Evaluations: The results of this evaluation are compiled in an easy-to-read report. A vocational rehabilitation counselor, then, assists in formulating a plan of action, making recommendations regarding vocational options.
Situational Assessments: a "fixed term" unpaid placement in the community, provides the opportunity to assess a person's work skills, and allows individuals to see what job would be a correct match for them. This helps ensure a good job match prior to placement at a job site.
Job Development: Employment Specialists assist individuals in searching for community employment by researching job leads, contacting businesses, building resumes, coordinating interviews, and helping individuals to apply for positions that match their interests and abilities. Understanding what an employer is looking for in a potential employee is equally critical, and thus much of job development also becomes training individuals toward being able to understand and meet the expectations of the business environments where they seek to work.
On-site and Off-site Training Support: Once an individual begins working, Employment Specialists are ready and able to supplement the company's existing orientation, training, and/or supervision protocols in order to offer an individual the greatest opportunity for success in that position. Initially, the Employment Specialist may provide intensive support, but as individuals become more familiar with the position, the Employment Specialist will begin to fade back.
Follow-along: The services that Wildwood Programs provide are long-term, and a business can expect the Employment Specialist to continue visiting the job site at least twice a month. This is done to ensure that a stable and supportive work environment continues throughout the duration of an individual's employment to the greatest extent possible. Such follow-along is intended to be conducted in the least intrusive manner possible, so as to not be burdensome to the employee or the employer.
Advocacy: Advocacy is an integral part of Wildwood's philosophy. The Employment Specialist often facilitates and mediates communication within the workplace to promote a stable work environment.
Benefits advisement: Recognizing that many individuals with ASD receive financial and medical benefits from programs like SSA, regular discussions of the work impact on those benefits is included in the development of appropriate goals for employment. Whenever feasible, individuals are encouraged to pursue and maintain employment that increases their level of financial independence and self-sufficiency.
Transition to work: Wildwood Programs collaborates with special education programs at local school districts to help students with ASD make a successful transition into adulthood, one that includes the ability to work productively in their communities. Customized around the needs of each individual student, these services can include things such as job shadowing, supported internships, and training on work-related skills.

What makes program work for persons with ASD?
"What sets Wildwood Employment Services apart from similar programs can be summarized under three headings: staffing, innovation, and a "ready-first" philosophy.
Staffing- Since the relationship between an individual with ASD and their Employment Specialist is integral to their satisfaction with services and success on the job, recruiting and retaining quality staff is vitally important. Wildwood Programs has developed numerous policies and programs to enhance motivation and retention, including comprehensive benefits coverage and active recognition programs; in four surveys in the past seven years, 97% of staff indicated that they would refer a friend or a member of their family for employment at Wildwood Programs. Within the Employment Services department, the organizational structure is built upon recognizing and capitalizing upon each staff person's strengths, interests, and experiences. This allows staff to focus on areas of expertise where they can excel and grow, maximizes the potential of the entire team, and enhances job satisfaction, all of which generate a higher quality of service provision to the individuals that are supported. Staff also receive specialized training in working with individuals with ASD, which enables them to understand the generalities of working with this population, though supports are still personalized to specific needs, learning styles, desires, and interests of each individual.
Innovation- Wildwood Employment Services is committed to continual innovation. Several years before laptops became more commonplace in the workforce, the agency constructed their own database and equipped Employment Specialists with their own laptops, which immediately increased efficiency and promoted flexibility in service provision. Ongoing technological enhancements have reduced the administrative burden associated with documentation, thus enabling more focus on the direct services that are provided to individuals with disabilities. Programmatic innovation is continually sought after, and refinements are always being made within the program to respond proactively to changes in the business community, the fiscal climate, and disability related trends such as the increased prevalence of ASD..
Ready-first philosophy- A third aspect that makes the Wildwood Employment Services program work is its "ready-first" philosophy. Similar to the treatment of addictions, vocational rehabilitation requires a balance between prevention and treatment. For years, the world of employment services for individuals with disabilities has tended to adopt more of a "treatment" model, with a focus on placing individuals and then providing whatever on-the-job supports are necessary to help them be successful. Through actively engaging the business community, however, Wildwood Employment Services has heard the opposite: business owners, although willing to hire individuals with ASD, need employees who come ready to work near maximum capacity. Therefore, a "prevention" model, where individuals' strengths and experiences are geared toward specific vocational opportunities, seemed to be necessary. This realization led to the development of Wildwood Employment Services' "ready-first" approach, where the processes of training, assessment, and skill acquisition largely occur prior to an individual's start on the job. This philosophy promotes an individual's chances for success, helps to avoid unnecessary failure, and better responds to the needs of the business community which, thus, increases the opportunities for lasting partnerships." Joshua Muchmore, Director of Employment Services.
What do parents have to say about program?
"I think the Employment Program at Wildwood is great. Our son is a success because of the supports provided by his Employment Specialist. She helps him maintain the job, navigate through any challenges he may face, and teaches him how to handle problems and to advocate for himself. Our son now has a lot of self-confidence on the job and can handle most circumstances that come his way. Most of all he is very happy at his workplace."
"Wildwood's employment program bridges relationships with employers that are responsive and sensitive to their needs. Their staff are dedicated professionals who possess a wealth of knowledge that they freely entrust to others."
"We're very happy with Wildwood. Our son has been at his workplace for 26 years and there's a big change in how he works now because of the job that Wildwood's staff have done."
Success Story
Glenn on the left with his supervisor Michael
Meet Glenn: Glenn has a diagnosis on the autism spectrum and is a consumer of Wildwood's Employment Services department. Glenn was nearing graduation from school and was participating in vocational trials with different businesses. He was especially successful as a dishwasher in a family owned restaurant. So much so that the restaurant offered him a paid part time position while he was in school. Glenn really liked the staff, as they did him. He became very comfortable working at the restaurant. After having worked there for several years the management changed. Glenn has always thrived when things are predictable, but experienced increasing anxiety with confusion and change. Under the new management, shifts and hours would vary wildly. Checks would not be available on time or would bounce. It became one problem after another and the new management was not supportive. It began having a substantial negative impact on Glenn. But Glenn did not want to leave since he was so familiar with the environment and friends with almost all of the staff. It became a very perplexing problem for Glenn.
With the support of his aunt, help from his residential manager, a family friend, and intensive on-the-job training from Wildwood Employment Services, we were able to help Glenn secure a job at Panera Bread. It was hard leaving that first job, but with all of the support, Glenn was able to make the transition with very few difficulties. Mike, the General Manager at Panera has worked exceptionally well with Glenn, providing clear directions, compliments when due and corrective instruction as occasionally warranted.
Mike states "Glenn is a great example of a person who, when committed, can achieve almost anything." Glenn now works the same hours Tuesday through Thursday, every week. He receives paychecks, which are a predictable amount on a predictable day. This allows Glenn to plan and save for trips, as he loves to travel. Glenn recently commented, "I really enjoy working at Panera Bread. It is a much better environment and everyone is friendly, always treating me with respect." The sense of achievement is clear in the way Glenn does his job. He takes pride in the positive feedback he receives. This has impacted Glenn's life in a positive and meaningful way.
Cost of the Program
The operating budget of the employment services programs is approximately $1.2 million and is funded by State VR Payments, Federal Grants, OPWDD/Medicaid, and school districts.
