Thank you for your help. Pass along this post to family, friends, and co-workers.
We've come a long way since the Massachusetts Healthy Workplace Advocates had their first hearing at the State House in 2010, halfway into the two-year legislative session. But we introduced the bill at the beginning of this legislative session, and with a few hundred supporters to contact, we added eleven co-sponsors to the mix. We're overjoyed at how much progress we made between these two legislative sessions.
But since it generally takes years to pass a bill into law, we knew we were up against a several year process from the getgo. And now with the most progress we've made in one session under our belts, we face two months left in this legislative session. We have until July 31, 2012 to pass this bill before we have to re-introduce it next January — which means that we need everyone's help in spreading the word about the bill. Here's how you can help »

The fate of a possible new soccer-specific stadium for D.C. United at Buzzard Point in Southwest Washington, D.C. could start to become a little clearer at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 26 as the D.C. Council holds its first joint public hearing on the proposal.
[ +READ: Baby steps: D.C. United stadium plan officially presented to D.C. city council]
Convened by the Committee of the Whole, the Committee on Finance and Revenue and the Committee on Government Operations, lawmakers will debate Bill 20-805 — District of Columbia Soccer Stadium Development Act — and hear testimony from those who are in favor and also those who are against the project.
Having first been unveiled at a press conference on the potential site almost a year ago, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray announced the completion of a stadium deal on May 23 through a complex land-swap involving real estate development firm Akridge, electric utility company PEPCO and the D.C. Government. The exchange of the Frank D. Reeves Center of Municipal Affairs formed a key part of the package, with the Center's owners Akridge giving the city the majority of the site at Buzzard Point.
[ +READ: 'MLS by 2016′ says Sacramento Republic FC president]
"This is a major step forward for economic development in the District of Columbia," said Mayor Gray in a press release when the deal's completion was announced. "The new soccer stadium will be the connector between developing areas around our baseball stadium and the new Wharf development along our Southwest Waterfront. The new soccer stadium is the final catalyst for what is certain to become one of the most vibrant and sustainable sports and retail districts in America."
The deal has its supporters and its critics, and this hearing is the first opportunity the public will have to testify to the D.C. Council, who ultimately will have the final say on whether the project will be approved.
For their part, D.C. United looked to get more exposure for the possible benefits of the new stadium as a number of artists' renderings were released earlier this month showing how it might look once built.
[ +View the D.C. United stadium renderings]
The date of the first hearing — June 26 — will not be lost on soccer fans as it is the same day that the United States Men's National Team plays Germany in their final FIFA World Cup group game. The hearing is due to begin at 9:30 a.m. EDT, with the USMNT game kicking off at 12 noon EDT, with the potential for overlap between the two events.
Councilmember Jack Evans, who also chairs the Committee on Finance and Revenue, wrote to D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson on June 17 asking for a recess in proceedings to accommodate the game, and also for the Chamber's projector screens to show the game. However, per Washington City Paper, Mendelson is not "inclined" to agree to Evans' request, according to his spokeswomen Karen Sibert.
[ +READ: Orlando City SC unveils renderings for 19,000-seat MLS stadium]
Those on both sides were encouraged to register to testify either in person on the day itself or in writing by the Council, who are looking to use this first hearing as a way of gauging feelings on the project among D.C. residents.
The deal itself has been thrown into some uncertainty by Mayor Gray's loss in the Democratic primary on April 1 by councilmember Muriel Bowser, who represents Ward 4. With no announcement on whether he will run as an independent or as a write-in candidate in the November 4 mayoral election, Gray is now a lame duck mayor and may lose power to a candidate who has voiced opposition to the land swap deal, both for undervaluing the Reeves Center and stating that she would prefer the money to go towards improving D.C. schools.
This first public hearing should be a crucial measure of both public and political feeling towards any potential stadium development at Buzzard Point, and while it is just another step on a long road, those connected with D.C. United will be keen to see a positive outcome from Thursday's proceedings.
The hearing is due to commence at 9:30 a.m. in the Council Chamber of the John A. Wilson Building. It will be streamed live and in full here. The legislation is also available online, with the option for visitors to add notes on the text, here.

Linebacker/running back Abner Logan Jr. (Newton, Mass./Dexter School) could make his college choice later this month, according to Dexter School coach Casey Day.
Day said Logan, the No. 3 prospect from Massachusetts in the Class of 2012, visited Maryland last weekend. It was Logan's second official visit. He also has been to North Carolina State.
Logan has yet to take an official visit to Northwestern, the only other school he is considering at this point.
"It seems like it's still between those three schools -- Maryland, NC State and Northwestern," Day said. "It looks like he'll be making a decision sometime before Christmas."
Maryland and Northwestern are recruiting Logan to play linebacker. NC State would like him to play running back.
Smith will take fifth visit
Although he said he's still considering Boston College, three-star running back David Smith (Chicago/Bremen) is planning to take a fifth official visit.
Smith took an official visit to West Virginia last weekend. He also has taken officials to BC, Cincinnati and Purdue.
"After taking this trip [to West Virginia] I've decided to take a fifth official," Smith said.
Smith said he will decide on the school he will visit later this week. He's hoping to announce his college decision on Dec. 19, which is his birthday.
Newsome runs to record
Running back Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn./Ansonia) is a sophomore, but he doesn't play like one.
Newsome set Connecticut's state record for yards rushing in a season when he ran for 364 yards and three touchdowns on 42 carries to help Ansonia defeat Ledyard 38-0 for the Class M championship Saturday.
Newsome finished the season with 3,763 yards rushing and 62 touchdowns (58 rushing). Former Ansonia running back Alex Thomas held the previous record for yards rushing in a season. Thomas gained 3,596 yards in 2007.
Newsome is expected to be one of the top recruits from Connecticut in the Class of 2014.

The Great Champagne Disaster of 2010
Yesterday we arrived in Saumur early. We walked to our hotel and left our bags then we headed into town. We walked up to the chateau but found it was close for major renovations so the most we could see were the grounds. We saw the grounds as well as an exhibit on pottery and another on horsemanship. You have to wonder if they didn't look long and hard for the dullest exhibits to have while the castle was closed. The castle itself was very beautiful and looked rather like you would imagine one in a fairy tale would.

A Tale of Two Cities
February 10, 2017
When is punishment justified?
Mayor Fouts, you've got some 'splaining' to do!
The juxtaposition of the two stories about offensive and racist comments and doling out punishment – or lack thereof – should not go unnoticed.
Why university students being held accountable for their fight against racism, even as an elected official bobs, weaves, and ducks allegations – after allegedly using disgusting terms to refer to persons with disabilities, women, and African Americans?
The Mayor of Warren, the 3rd largest city in Michigan who allegedly uttered vile, offensive, and de-humanizing things about persons with disabilities, women, and African American's goes unpunished while students protesting racist comments are punished?
EMU ( Eastern Michigan University) students were being punished for protesting racist slurs spray painted on campus walls. The students occupied the student center and stayed protesting after the building closed. The students, in an act of civil disobedience, violated the EMU student code of conduct. They were facing punishment -up to expulsion for their act.
For details, read, EMU students step up protests against racism: http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2017/01/24/eastern-michigan-university-students-step-up-protests-against-racism/97012402/
EMU officials, citing privacy rights, would not discuss the details of the punishments, but have said they had no choice but to take action.
The fact is they do have a choice. They have discretion on how they choose to implement their student code of conduct. As the story unfolds, you will see the leaders of the university used their discretion.
As I was putting the final touches on this article the university made the right decision and reversed their stance to "punish" the students. Eastern Michigan University has dropped all punishments issued against 16 students who were involved in anti-racism protests, according to a statement released by EMU administration officials. EMU's president and its board are to be commended for reversing course in this case.
This was good to hear.
Who are you going to believe?
Yet across town in Warren where one needs to suspend belief (remember the Groucho Marx line, "Who are you going to believe –me or your lying eyes?") not to conclude that Mayor Fouts' remarks are in fact him, racist, and that civil laws make it near impossible to hold him accountable. The mayor has repeatedly denied the voice, while acknowledging it sounds like him –is him.
The words in the recording that reasonable persons conclude are the mayor's (which he denies) are despicable and should not be uttered by anyone, let alone an elected official. The mayor could end the controversy and shame he is bringing upon his city and our state by undergoing voice analysis – clearing his name (if it is in fact not him) and deflecting the vile language to another to be held accountable. He has refused to do so.
In referring to persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities it is alleged the mayor said:
"What good are they? They're dysfunctional human beings. They're not even human beings … I don't want any part of this. This is one of the worse things about being mayor. This is the bottom of the barrel. … I don't want to be around them, and I wish them well in a cage."
In reference to African Americans: "Blacks do look like chimpanzees. I was watching this black woman with her daughter and they looked like two chimps," the male voice says in one of the tapes. In yet another, the N-word is used. And in referring to older women, the voice calls them "mean, hateful, dried up …" using vulgar and offensive terms for female genitalia to describe them.
Eric Lupher, President of the Citizens Research Council of Michigan is quoted as saying "the ability of the governor to remove someone from office is really extraordinary … You need to have some clear indication that the official has abused power in some way and it's criminal in nature."
So, is it okay in the 21st Century to dehumanize women, minorities, and people with disabilities in vile and disgusting ways and remain in office? While at the same time, expel students for protesting racism on campus? There clearly something very wrong with this picture.
Fouts needs to call for an investigation or resign.
The mayor claims that the tapes are "phony." If so, he owes it not only to himself, but to the public, to report this to the State Police or a federal agency. Only he can file a formal complaint as the alleged "victim." If he did, there would be an investigation.
There is speculation the mayor knows who recorded him but was unaware until tapes surfaced. It is believed the individual who recorded the mayor will produce all the tapes of the mayor if requested to do so by a law enforcement agency. It is alleged the reason the individual can not/will not do so without "protection" is because there is a court order suppressing the tapes due to a prior settlement the City of Warren paid out to avoid deposition on a whistle blower case. The individual turning over the alleged tapes of the mayor would be in violation of that prior settlement and court order.
It is speculated that by requesting the investigation the mayor knows he would be in violation of filing a false police report and legal cover would be given to the individual who has the tapes.
The question needs to be asked of the mayor, "Why won't you file a police report with the State Police?" (Not his own local police department)
The State of Michigan should lead.
Michigan should lead the nation as being an accepting place where we do not tolerate hate or stigmatize and dehumanize our fellow human beings, whether for the color of their skin, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.
If we don't stand up for what is right, who will?
When we see wrong and evil in our state and nation, we have a moral and societal obligation to stand together to address it: hate, vile, dehumanizing language and stigma have no place in Michigan or America.
Here is how to remove Warren Mayor Jim Fouts from office:
There ought to be a law to make it easier.

Tips for Hill Descent on CNC
The sign warns trucks that there is a 7% grade for the next 8 miles. No problem. You shift into a higher gear, lean into the drops and start pedaling faster. Going downhill on a road bike is a combination of comfort level, knowing what your bike can handle and employing a few standard techniques to keep you safe. Before reading further, make sure you've read the information above. Descending on a mountain bike employs much of the same skills you need to descend on a road bike.
Comfort Level and Cycling Ability
Some people get going fast and they tense up; others get going fast and they only want to go faster. It's a comfort-level thing. Your comfort level is determined somewhat by genetics (some are just wired to go fast), but mostly by practice and confidence. The more sure you feel about your bike and your ability to handle it, the more comfortable you're going to feel about the speeds you reach as you fly down a hill.
Your Tires
Traction is generally not an issue when on a road bike. And advances in tires have made them more reliable than ever. However, staying vigilant and scanning the road for debris can help make your ride trouble free. What do you do if you encounter poor traction?
Sand or Gravel: Avoid hitting your brakes too hard when you encounter poor traction as you could become unbalanced while going through the rough. This can end in a crash. If you determine that you have time to brake, throw your weight back and do so. But make sure your weight comes forward and that your feet are in the platform position when you reach the rough. Make sure your body is ready to absorb shock. Keep a firm but relaxed grip on the bars and don't touch the brakes once in the area of poor traction. Also, resist the urge to put a foot out for stability. This is a sure way to crash. Think light and imagine floating over the rough. The key is to keep balanced and stable. This will see you safely through. You can scrub speed if you need to after the sand or gravel is safely behind you.
Other Debris: Wires, boxes, soda cans and more: This is the garbage with which road bikes must contend. The best defense is a good offense where road debris is concerned. Keep your eyes scanning ahead and looking for debris. It's easy, especially on long stretches, to become mesmerized by the speed and the rushing wind. Don't! However, if you find debris in your path, the best you can do is a slight bunnyhop (if you feel comfortable doing bunnyhops), or to run the debris over. Either way, a relaxed grip and coming up slightly out of the saddle will help. If the debris does cause you to crash, remember to stay loose and roll with the crash. Putting your hands out will cause more harm than good.
Your Brakes
Knowing when not to use the brakes is perhaps the most important thing to know about descending on a road bike. Try to keep your hands off the brakes. Why? Even slight use of the brakes at the inappropriate time can throw off your balance or take you off the line you've established. If you do use them, keep the pressure light, move your weight back and apply both brakes evenly.
Your Balance
As with a mountain bike, the steeper the hill, the more your weight should be back on the saddle. Pressure on the rear wheel helps with braking and with cornering. Make sure your grip is relaxed and get into the drops with your hands near the brakes. Flying down a hill is not the proper time to be casually steering your bike from the brake hoods.
When cornering, remember to drive down the outside leg and lean on the inside drop. If you need to throw a knee out, that's fine, but keep your outside elbow in close and your head and shoulders level. This will help ensure your tires stay in contact with the road.
The Basic Idea
If used in unison, all of these techniques will result in a safer and more enjoyable ride. With practice and development of the proper muscles and reflexes, balance and control become second nature. Then you can concentrate on the simple merits of speed—a good, tasty downhill, the wind rushing through your helmet, the exhilarating blur of scenery.

Woody Guthrie music at Opera House, Friday
Randy Noojin does a one-man show as a tribute to Woody Guthrie. He brings the performance to the Mauch Chunk Opera House at 8:30 p.m. Friday.
Hop a boxcar through the Dustbowl with Woody Guthrie and commune with the spirit, stories and songs in Randy Noojin's critically acclaimed one man show.
Experience the essence of Woody and sing along with a dozen of his greatest songs at The Mauch Chunk Opera House, 14 W. Broadway, Jim Thorpe at 8:30 p.m. Friday.
An accomplished playwright and Broadway actor, Noojin's one man show has opened to great revues as he brings his tour of the Northeast.
His captivating solo play with music, tells of the life and travels of America's legendary singer songwriter in a multi-media presentation, a masterful recreation of Woody Guthrie's persona and musical style matched with a powerful narrative delivers a spot-on portrayal of the voice for the most influential songwriter in American folk music.
Based on Guthrie's vast writings, Noojin creates an intimate visit with the spirit of Woody.
His Guthrie is not just a folksy cardboard caricature: it's ornery, pugnacious, sly, and driven by the twin forces of anger and love. Directed at the political and economic injustice he sees all around him, "Hard Tavelin' with Woody" demonstrates the bottomless love Guthrie had for his country and its people.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. with the show at 8:30. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased by calling The Opera House Box Office (570) 325-0249 and on-line by visiting www.mcohjt.com. Tickets are also available at Sound Check Records, 23 Broadway, Jim Thorpe.

I am sorry that it has been so long between updates. Anyone who needs a Lincoln and/or Griffin fix should check out our flickr pages. Those are updated more frequently (just browse the photostream I tend to only update the albums the same time I update this website). Youtube also tends to get updated a little more frequently as well. If you subscribe (Youtube) or follow (Flickr) you can get updates, if you want, alerting you of when there are new pictures of the kiddos.

Quick Linc and Griff stories:
Today when looking at various images I showed Linc a picture of some bees and a honeycomb. I asked him what he saw. Instead of saying: "bees". He said: "hexagons". He is one smart cookie.
Griff has recently started crawling and pulling himself up. I am sure all kinds of hijinks are on the horizon.

Final update: I only progressed to a "stretchy 5". They increased it past the recommended dosage after getting the doctor's order. Thank god for the epidural because the internal monitor they placed eventually showed extremely intense contractions and at one point I could feel seriously uncomfortable pressure during those ones. Her head kept moving down, but otherwise we couldn't get things moving. Around 5am they noticed some decels, but we got her happy again til about 6am. Then between the very high dose of pitocin and no progress, the midwife talked to the doctor and they recommended the c-section. I was completely fine with this. I didn't even get upset. I was ready to meet my baby girl and wanted to make sure she got here safe. Luckily, I didn't wait long. They said they wanted to get the ball rolling before it became an emergency situation, but it might be a while. Turns out everyone that was needed was in the building and I barely had time to let my family know. She was born at 7:14am. 7lbs7oz. 20 inches long. The most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Anthony was amazing during labor and he's been loving on her like crazy. We were able to do skin-to skin as soon as they wiped a little blood off of her and it was amazing! I did get some dry heaves and shoulder pain while they stitched me up. We got back to the room and she was nursing like a champ and has done great since. She's so calm right now. I imagine she's exhausted from 48 hours of trying to make it into this world. I'm just happy she's here and healthy and happy.
Update #3: (Thursday) After the dilaudid wore off, I started to feel a couple small contractions, but nothing serious. Midwife came in around 5am and checked me, still no progress. Stuck at 2. She talked to me about doing a cytotec and then breaking my water around noon. So that's what we did. The contractions I had after the cytotec were nothing compared to the ones with prepidil. Luckily I progressed to a 3 by noon and they broke my water. This almost immediately sent me into strong contractions. Good, right? 5 hours of that and I'm only at 4. I took some pain medication because I was exhausted and started shaking so bad I couldn't see straight. We talked options and the next one was the pitocin. I knew I couldn't handle the contractions if I got the pit, so I asked for the epidural. The nurse didn't fully connect the pitocin and no one noticed for 2 hours, but then it got started around 9pm. They've been steadily increasing it since and it's now 1am. I'm still a 4. She stretched me to a 5. Midwife said that we're getting close to the highest dose of pitocin, but the contractions still aren't ideal. So basically we're waiting until the ctx hit the idea strength and we'll see if I progress then. If no progress, then we'll have to talk c-section.
Wish us luck. We need it.
Update #2: Good morning ladies. The midwife checked me last night around 10pm and I was still no change except that the head is fully engaged and my water was bulging. She said we could break my water and see what happens, or they could give me the dilaudid and benadryl. I had cried through the last few contractions because I was hooked up to the monitors and couldn't move and they were just so intense. I decided to go ahead and get the shot and sleep. It was AWESOME. I still feel groggy, but I know I got at least 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep, plus a couple more of off and on, but I stayed in bed the whole time and I feel 100% better. I feel like maybe I really CAN do this without the epidural now. I knew that if they broke my water last night I would have been too exhausted from lack of sleep and the crazy weird contractions from the prepidil that I would have needed the epidural for sure. They are going to break my water this morning probably around 5 or 6am. I hope it goes well, because I haven't felt any contractions since I got up about 20 minutes ago. But that could still be the dilaudid since I still feel pretty high. Haha.
Update:Had to have another round of prepadil gel around 5:30pm because my contractions slowed down. You have to stay in bed 90 minutes after it's administered...it was hell both times. I'm only 2cm, still only 70% and baby hasn't moved from -2 station. Contractions are regular for a while, then sporadic. I'm going to get dilaudid and benadryl to get some sleep tonight I hope and start fresh in the morning. I'm almost dozing off between contractions and probably would if my back wasn't killing me. So..options right now are: a third round of prepadil at 11pm (NOT happening), start pitocin at 11PM (in this case, I'll probably get an epidural. I'm exhausted and I don't think I can handle anything stronger that what I'm already having right now), or the dilaudid and benadryl shot to get some rest. Really hoping to get some rest and have a baby early tomorrow. We'll see though. Thanks for all the ELV's!!
Just figured I'd update while I can. Induction with Prepadil gel was started about 7:30am. Severe cramps followed. Having tons of cramps now, especially in my back, but it doesn't look like real contractions. I don't know if I can handle the pain all day. I'm exhausted already from only getting 4 hours of sleep. Anyway, I'll keep everyone updated when I can.

Anyone want to help me out? I'm finished with the important parts, but I'm still missing 3 APA citations. Anyone have ideas that should be included in this thing?

Philadelphia Black Lives Matter Activists Protested Illegal 'Stop-And-Fondle' Searches By Giving Police Underwear
Two Philadelphia police officers received an unexpected gift late last month: Men's underwear.
But the skivvies weren't delivered by brazen lovers. Rather, they were part of a clever protest orchestrated by local activists to condemn the department's alleged "stop-and-fondle" practices, as NBC 10 reported.
According to a recent Philadelphia Daily News investigation, the city's officers have allegedly searched the underwear of Black men during traffic and pedestrian stops, which goes against police policy and state law.
Part One:
Part Two:
After reading the Daily News' report, Asa Khalif and other members of the local Black Lives Matter chapter went to police headquarters on May 30 to protest the practice and deliver the intimate "gifts."
"It is illegal to stop and frisk," Khalif shouted during the protest, which was broadcast on Facebook Live (above). "It is illegal to go into someone's underwear and touch their penis. Touch their buttocks. You think it's common practice and it's legal, but it's not."
Though overall use of stop-and-frisk searches in Philadelphia has declined in recent years, the American Civil Liberties Union noted in a May report that the city's police stop young Black and Latino men more frequently than any other people.
The video above is from 2013.
Overall, about 77 percent of police stops in 2016 involved Black or Latino pedestrians. (Black and Latino people make up just over 50 percent of Philly's population.)
"We recognize that the city ... has shown improvement, as stops have decreased and legal justification for those stops has increased," said Mary Catherine Roper, ACLU Pennsylvania's deputy legal director. "But improvement is not the goal. The goal is to treat people fairly and to respect people's constitutional rights."
Police Captain Sekou Kinebrew told the Daily News that he wasn't aware of any stop-and-frisk complaints against his officers, though he encouraged victims to file one if they felt violated.
But Khalif and his fellow activists are taking a more proactive approach, according to NBC 10: They've volunteered to fund trauma counseling for a group of young men who have undergone stop-and-frisk searches.
"This is why we continue to fight in the Black Lives Matter movement," Khalif said at the protest, as HuffPost reported. "We do not accept the sh*t that is happening in our communities. We're not going to tolerate racist-*ss police officers attacking Black and brown people."

EESI gives the most balanced, useful, complete and relevant information on topics concerning the environment and energy. I use their fact sheets and white papers all the time for my work within these fields. EESI is the Go To organization.
I attended to see where colleges and cities are innovating in power generation and conservation. The speakers were wonderfully chosen to provide a broad perspective on methods of achieving power at the lowest cost and least carbon footprint. They were articulate and passionate about their subject and I left with a greater appreciation of how microgrids can help in capacity shortfalls.
After working with EESI over the past year, I have constantly been astounded by the amount of excellent work they are able to provide Congress with the limited staffing resources they are granted. They are an excellent non-profit and partner to work with. They are an extremely passionate and driven group that makes sure Congress is informed and up to date about any and all energy and environmentally related issues. I look forward to continue working with them in the future!
Excellent presenations that bring forth more in-depth understandin of public perception of energy. Fantastic for succient organization and content.

The Hills Food Frontier (THFF) in Tecoma is at the forefront of a 'food revolution' in the Dandenong Ranges.
THFF is a volunteer-based group that inspires, mobilises and equips the hills community to choose, grow, share and eat good food.
Their latest project has just come to an end with the construction of a food forest.
Using permaculture principles, the food forest has incorporated edible shrubs, companion plants and a diverse group of vegetables and fruits.
"The Hills Food Frontier wants to make ugly places beautiful by growing food," president, Shanti Mclaren said.
Over the past year volunteers have been working hard to construct the sophisticated design which ensures the three by 15-metre section of garden is built as efficiently as possible.
Michael Johnson, owner of The Basin Backyard helped the group to maximise usage of space.
"It's about making maximum use of the limited amount of space available so we can fit as many fruit trees as possible … one of the best ways to do this is to have an espalier," he said.
"We put in six varieties of fruit and in the future with grafting we can turn six into 18.
"At the moment it's fantastic but in the future it's going to be spectacular – the amount of produce that will come out of the limited space will be really impressive."
The addition of the organically grown food forest to the flame garden will help promote food security in Tecoma and provide access to healthy free food and education for those who need it.
The Hills Food Frontier also have a free food cupboard which is part of their Food is Free Tecoma program where the produce they get from the community garden goes towards the community and people who need it.
"There are 700 people that are homeless in the Yarra Ranges," Fay Webster who is part of the Tecoma Uniting Church said.
The food forest is utilises the flame garden situated at the Tecoma Uniting Church and has grown over the years from a simple community garden to a fully-fledged food forest.
Though, Ros Carter, a volunteer with the THFF, said there were still plans to make it bigger and better.
"We grow all kinds of vegetables, spinach, lettuce and beetroot – any kind of vegies that we can grow really.
"We're going to work on the understorey; berries and that sort of things … create a little microclimate as part of the flame garden."
All the food grown is collected by the community or placed in the food cupboard.
Cr Noel Cliff, Mayor of Yarra Ranges visited the finished flame food forest and commended the group on the gardens incredible transformation.
"I am blown away with it; it's absolutely wonderful what they are doing here."
"That's why the shire was happy to give them a grant because they deserve it, they are doing positive things," Cr Cliff said.

This is absolutely amazing!!! Good work
Wooow! You look beautiful and really calm - captured the character very well in the picture.
What are the shoulders made from and how long did they take? They are so amazing!
Thank you <3! The bulk of the shoulders is layers of the extra-thick craft foam glued on top of one another, attached to a hallowed out styrofoam ball that sits on my shoulder. The rest of the shape of the shoulder was built up using paperclay, which I sanded and hand painted with acrylics. ^^
I love this! what material did you use for the green armor?
Thank you <3! The green armor is mostly craft foam! Some of the curved pieces have a layer of wonderflex to help the craftfoam maintain that certain shape. I also painted the craft foam with a couple of layers of "easy cast" resin to give it a little extra sturdiness. ^^
Lordy LOO that is impressive! Well done!
Gorgeous! I am in awe of your body paint skills and those shoulders are spectacular <3
So amazing! U are directly from World of Warcraft
This is so freaking amazing!! *0*
Awesome! I love how vibrant the colors are, and all the details!
I'm amazed how well your body paint looks! Which brand did you use?
Overall, great costume, your craftmanship is stunning!
Overall, great costume, your craftmanship is stunning!
Thanks so much ! The body paint I used was Kryolan aquacolor, in Purple #R27. I bought it from SillyFarm.com. It took about 3 coats applied with a big blush brush to get the paint this even, but I am really happy with the results! Luckily I have an awesome husband that was willing to help apply it!! x3
Thats awesome colour, i will be sure to get one for photoshoot. Thanks so much for the answer, your Ysera ispire me to fix mine so much~!(:
Very cool!!

Chick Lit
All's fair in love and work.
Kate is enjoying being engaged—that it's a hoax is beside the point. To succeed at her ultra-conservative finance job she needs to reform her flighty, party-girl reputation, and a good old fashioned marriage of convenience is exactly what she needs to put her one step closer to the promotion of her dreams. But when Adam, Kate's best friend from high school, arrives for a visit, her perfect arrangement suddenly isn't so perfect anymore.
The nerdy boy she remembers from her teen years has grown into a gorgeous and successful man, and he's vying for her affection. Soon all the things Kate thinks she wants will change, and everything she doesn't know she needs, she may not be able to live without.
But will she be able to let down the walls she's built to guard her heart and trade her fierce independence for love?
I received a copy of The Job Proposal by Wendy Chen in exchange for a review of my honest opinion.
When I began this book, I'll admit that I didn't immediately take a shine to the main character, Katie. Despite her together, Sex and the City lifestyle, her single-minded focus on success and unwillingness to form attachments with the men she slept with made it hard to connect with her. She definitely wasn't a warm, fuzzy character. Her 'Legacy Friend' (read the book, you'll definitely know the type!) Adam, however, was boyishly charming and adorable from the get go. His ability to see the 'real' Katie was what convinced me to give her a chance, and keep reading!
Through Adam's eyes, we see how Katie's life growing up led her to put up walls around herself and not take them down for anyone. After so long, she doesn't even remember putting any up, and Adam settles in for the long haul as he steadily starts chipping away at them. As he makes progress, Katie begins to share tidbits of insight into herself too. The finance shark who would do anything for a place in the company hierarchy loosens her chignon and looses the stilettos as she gradually remembers just how great being herself could be.
I'm always a fan of chick lit that's told from both the main female and male perspectives. Perhaps it adds a layer of depth to the story, I'm not quite sure! In this case, it was definitely Adam that drew me in to the story, not Katie, which is unusual for chick lit. However, as the book progressed, Katie became a more complex, interesting character, and I wanted to know what she would do.
As ever, when I sat down to write this review and tried to summarise the plot in a few sentences, I realised that it was a fairly typical chick lit plot: girl thinks she's happy without a man, but eventually can't resist falling for her adorable platonic friend… a subcategory of chick lit's leading theme: 'love will find you when you least expect it'. That said, it's not the happy ending that makes us read the book. Sure, it's nice to go to sleep and not be crying because your favourite character just died in a fiery car crash – but it's more about the journey, and HOW the main character overcame whatever issues she was dealing with and lives happily ever after. Let's face it, we all empathise with many of those issues in our own lives, and it's nice to read a story where everything ends well!
You can find this book on Amazon OR you can enter the giveaway below for the chance to win a digital copy for yourself! This is my first giveaway, I'm pretty excited!
