Finally took a photo of my little stand at the quilt Show before opening today.
Another angle. Just love my little IKEA storage boxes for my patterns.
Di and Adele working hard. Well as hard as you can surrounded by so many lovely things. The mug bag challenge was a real hoot.
Thank goodness for the girls in the kitchen. The home made cakes and slices were so yummy!!
Vice president, Lyn, hard at it on the sales table. Needless to say I bought way more than I ought to have but always find these great places to get the stash of Birthday and Christmas gifts.
Cheryl hard at the demo table. Needle turn appliques are just so beautiful!
Jane doing the ironing. Jane made a beautiful quilt during the show.
Finally got a shot of the placemat that I made for the Placemat challenge.
All the placemats are being donated to 'meals on wheels' when we have a few more.

I guess this week's What I'm Loving Wednesday should really be called "Who" I'm Loving Wednesday, because I'm really loving Tim Hawkins! If you've never heard of him, you're in for a real treat. He's a Christian comedian, and he is hilarious! He pokes fun at church, prayer, homeschooling, parenting, and just about everything. Joshua and I have had the pleasure of seeing him live several times now, and he never disappoints. We recently sponsored an event through my husband's business and he was the featured guest. And because he lived here for several years, he even threw in a few local jokes.
Here are some of my favorite videos:
Chick-fil-A! This was recorded at a corporate event, and he called out the CFO - LOL!
Tim explains his favorite Bible verse:
Hand sanitizer in the church:
And one of my favorites that I couldn't find a video of is him describing the different types of prayers such as the thesaurus prayer: "Lord, we beseech thee, lead us, guide us, direct us..."
Have you heard of Tim Hawkins? Do you have a favorite song/skit/video/quote?

On Wednesday, I was happy to be the mystery reader for Mrs. Williams class. My five clues that stumped them were:
1. Has two older brothers
2. An excellent cook – according to Mrs. Brown
3. Drum major of his high school marching band
4. Has a big, hairy golden retriever named Toby
5. Has a daughter(Anya) and a son (Aidan)
I read My Pet Book which is a story about a boy who refuses the typical dog or cat as a pet but chooses a book instead.
I hope the kids had a much fun as I did!

Massage Envy, a national membership-based massage therapy franchise, opened a 2,650 square-foot location in Newport Beach last week, according to a news release.
The franchise in Westcliff Plaza at 1052 Irvine Ave. has 11 treatment rooms, and day and night hours.
"Most people will get a massage while on vacation or when visiting a spa, but one massage won't solve the problem of today's active lifestyles," said owner Stephen Karson in a prepared statement. "Regular treatment can reduce stress, increase circulation, lower blood pressure, help manage pain or recover from injuries, and much more."
Massage Envy offers Murad facials and multiple types of massage, including Swedish, deep tissue, sports and prenatal.
The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based franchise has more than 660 locations nationwide.

Shore Temple
Ornamentation on the roof, although eroded, is quite similar to the Pancha Rathas seen earlier. Unlike those temples, the roofs here are capped by finials which show that the temple was complete and functional. Beneath the towers, the sanctuary walls are largely undecorated, although their engaged columns are carved with lion bases.
A group of schoolchildren is visiting the temple.

I headed off exploring to LEA27 and was in for an interesting surprise with Storm's "The Void". Once again the suggested windlight is pretty dark which while that makes it harder for me to see, explore, and take photos, I'm sorta digging it. It seems more and more immersive artists are making dark builds (see Bryn Oh). The darkness and the really scary music this sim offers adds to the already Ominous ambiance.
In Storms profile it's summed up pretty well: "A walk through the Darkness...
Minimal Sim designed and built by Storm Septimus, open till July on LEA27.
Dedicated to the sleepless.
ღ I did my part , now its all yours..
and thank you!
to those who don't need naming ღ "
There is actually a good note at the landing that explains about the exhibit, suggested windlight, helpful hints etc. My main suggestion is to be sure to click around and be sure you make it to the ground level and even under water. I took a friend who thought they had finished when they were still in the main landing area. Follow the glowing cables and click on things to pose and teleport. There are a lot of hearts and keys. I cheated and bumped up my lights for most of these pictures as you can't see very far ahead of you in the intended lighting, but do use the suggested lights as it's very fun that way. The note states it's original intent is to simulate that in- between sleep and waking state of an exhausted person who has trouble sleeping, but the creator would like for each to take away from it what one feels or experiences about it individually. There are informative signs along the way. Enjoy. It's weirdly cool.

5 Myths about Summer Time Debunked for Single Muslims
Summer time is here!
It is a well needed break away from studies and school for many. While work and hustle continue for others.
Whatever situation you may find yourself right now – that urge to take some time off and relax is strong. So strong, that you will rather do it now – during the summer holidays than any other time in the year.
And everyone around seems to be having F.U.N; from young married couples to the older ones with families. You are beginning to think 'summer time' should really be called 'family time' or 'couple time'.
But the harsh reality remains, you are single and its summer time.
I have great news for you!
Summer is an opportunity for you just like any other person, to get stronger, healthier, fresher; and to become more positive and purposeful in life.
And guess who's the captain of your summer adventure? Its no one, but – Y.O.U.
It is important to become aware of the ideas and myths regarding summer time as single Muslims. So that summer time is not misunderstood as a time for watering down your eeman and shedding your haya (modesty).
Here are 5 common myths debunked for single Muslims
Myth 1: Summer is time for 'pity party' galore.
FACT: There is absolutely no need to wallow in pity just because you are single and its summer time.
It is not a time to become heedless, rather it is a time to relax and renew your mind, body and soul and reconnect with your Lord. Because nothing in the life of a believe is done without purpose. Your summer holiday can be purposeful.
The great struggle comes from your nafs, which suggests what your friends and every couple you know seem to be doing; just chilling and having a blast – whether positive or negative.
Try this: Host your own 'gratitude party' galore. A chance to spread the positive effects of being thankful for the blessings you have with others.
Need party ideas/ themes? What about…
– A picnic;
– Pizza party;
– Talent party;
– Bring-a-dish (potluck)?
Myth 2: Summer time is all about fast fun, food and feeling good.
FACT: Personal growth and development is not always about feeling good. Some activities will make you feel uncomfortable and not-too-good many times. You will doubt yourself and your ability several times.
But, that's the price for self growth and transformation. And that's a wise way of utilising your free time before you become busy with school or work. All learning must not be put on hold – just because its summer time.
Try this: Attempt a new skill like a language you've always wanted to speak or improve on e.g Arabic. You can also try a new sport/ game e.g horse riding or swimming. Or take a self defense class – you won't regret it in today's social climate.
Experiment with new recipes, attend seminars, halaqas and engage in extra beneficial learning to boost your self growth.
Myth 3: An exclusive friends' affair.
FACT: Holidays and breaks are opportunities for families to get together too. Its not all about hanging out with friends and socialising till breaking point. It is a great time to visit and catch up with loved ones; and uphold the ties of kinship while earning some blessings.
Try this:
- Interview and record your grand parents or older relatives for some great family history lessons;
- Watch documentaries, play games and spend time outdoors exploring and knowing each other;
- Start a family tree project and see how far you can go into the generations before;
- Organise a family reunion/ get together.
Myth 4: Any company is good enough.
FACT: 'Good company ONLY' please.
Because the wrong company will distract you from your eeman goals and get you thinking about taking the wrong direction in life. Its better to be alone than to be in the wrong company.
Try this:
- Get a Quran buddy to help you bring the Book close to your heart.
- Get a tahajjud or masjid buddy to encourage you with your daily prayers and extras.
- Create a group to share your knowledge, experience and skills in a beneficial way.
- Volunteer with friends in the community.
When alone, make it a productive experience.
Develop a reading habit, write and perform your own spoken poetry, write opinion pieces, sing nasheeds in your "nasheed artist voice", read the Quran in your favourite reciter's voice etc.
Myth 5: Time for relationship makeovers.
FACT: The good weather, sunshine, inspiration from TV + books + social media sets some expectations; and conditions you to associate summer with love and romance. For many, its time to transition from break ups to make ups – even if its the impermissible dating.
Hold up – wait a minute.
Try this: Instead makeover your house, room or car. Whatever you own – prep it up. It could be your reading corner or praying corner. Or better yet, why not try an eeman makeover? You can,
- Take a walk after fajr,
- Journal before bed time,
- Engage in deep reflection,
- Pray qiyam (night prayers),
- Have a pamper day with rewards for yourself.
And more.
So, you are single. Alhamdulillah!
And it summer time – all the better.
Get all the good things going and become a better person – mind, body and soul – this summer.
Make the best of your single life this holiday before you get busy and preoccupied. Use it while the opportunity is still available. Consider it your special time in this special phase of life. You won't regret it.
"Take benefit of five before five: Your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you are preoccupied, and your life before your death"
(Narrated by Ibn Abbas and reported by Al Hakim)
Ever battled with any of these myths – in the past or present? Please share below your personal tips on how best to deal with it?

Breast Cancer Commentathon
If breast cancer has not touched you personally, it has touched someone you know. The statistics are sobering. On January 11, 2005 Greg Hammond, a fellow blogger, hosted a comment based fundraiser on his blog, California Hammonds. The fundraiser was in memory of his wife, Cheryl, who lost her battle with breast cancer after more than 5 years of fighting. The proceeds from the fundraiser were donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation's education and screening programs. Early detection is the key to survival.
The fundraiser worked by spreading the word of the need for donations and asking those who heard about it to please leave a comment on his blog. Sponsors pledged money for a certain number of comments. For example, Greg donated $1 for each of the first 500 comments. A different sponsor donated $1 for each of the first 50. Still another donated $1 for the 50 following those. In the end, over 700 people commented, raising $2846.
On April 1, 2005, the one year anniversary of Cheryl's death, Greg plans to host another fundraiser. Again, the proceeds will go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation's education and screening programs, and the format of comments and sponsors will remain the same.
I am proud to participate as a sponsor this time around, and I hope that you will consider sponsoring as well. If you are unable to, please at least CLICK ON THE BANNER ABOVE AND COMMENT on the California Hammonds site between 12:01am and 11:59pm TOMORROW, April 1st.

August journal in progress and a great learning experience.
I think I've go some motion in here! The beads are on the table and waiting!
I think Camp might get in the way of a Friday Flaunt but what the heck.
From tomorrow I have 2 grand babies with me 24/7 till Saturday morning! At work, from Wednesday morning, I have the Grand Babies plus another 58 other peoples' Grand Babies! And they all will be learning so much fun stuff!
I really do love these camps! It is so much fun watching the kids get confused, work out what they have to do and then just get on with it! The pride they show when they work out the whole problem (read crime) and that they can do it, is awesome!

Painting in Progress
In the second picture, oil colors are blocked quickly one next to the other with a flat brush, in this case a number 4.
The picture on the left shows the blending of the colors. This is done with a soft, round, watercolor brush, number 6 for this one.
In the picture on the right we see the finished head. Details have been added as needed.
The whole process of painting the head has taken one hour. The size of the head is around 3.25" from the top of the head to the chin

KidZania Singapore: Details On This New Kid-Sized City
Singapore has a really interesting family attraction that will be opening soon, one that is unlike anything I've heard of thus far. KidZania is an indoor family 'edutainment centre' that was originally founded in Mexico City by Xavier López Ancona, a young entrepreneur, who dreamed of creating a unique entertainment experience for kids that could promote change, inspire global citizenship and build strong community awareness through an experience that is hands-on, engaging, educational, and most importantly, fun. The first park opened in Mexico 13 years ago and now there are over 11 locations in 8 different countries on 4 continents. Kids visiting KidZania get immersed in a city experience where they are in charge of choosing from over 90 role-playing activities from over 70 establishments. The building will offer over 80,000 square feet and will be just apart of the brand new Family Entertainment Centre development at Palawan Beach, Sentosa Island.
More than just a kid's theme park, KidZania is a true kid-sized city where children ages 4-14 can pick from a large number of role-playing activities, earn money (kidZos, the official currency of KidZania), pay for goods and services and manage an ATM card – all the things they see adults do in real life. KidZania creates a kid-centric city
experience targeted at kids aged 4 to 14 years where they are empowered to take charge and make their own decisions.
KidZania Singapore is set to open in 2015.

I was lucky enough to have been able to try the skin care line by Natural Choices Cosmetics. They are a new Swiss based brand that focuses only on natural ingredients for their products. Because it is important to them for you to have the perfect skin care routine, they even produce their moisturizer especially for your skin type. That is also why you will have to fill out a Skin Analyzing Form one you place an order.
I was really happy when Alana Olivers, the owner of the company, reached out to me and asked whether I wanted to try her products. My skin has been on some kind of a rollercoaster these past months and I have been suffering from acne breakouts and uneven skin texture.
The older I get the more I like to focus on my skin care first rather than my makeup. Of course you can cover up blemishes but if you have a great canvas to begin with, you will not have to use that many other products anymore. Plus: It will eventually look more natural.
So here is what I was sent and their ingredients (in German)
Clean Slate – Cleansing Oil (100ml, CHF40)
Nachtkerzenöl, Calendulaöl, Mandelöl, Jojobaöl, Aloe Vera, Arganöl, Wildroseöl, Brokkolisameöl, Arnikaöl, Vitamin E, Karrotensamenöl, Cranberrysamenöl, Avellanaöl, Himbeersameöl, Ginsengextrakt, Kamilleextrakt, Grüentee Extrakt
Vitamin Infusion – Tonic (80ml, CHF55)
Nerolihydrolat, Rosenhydrolat, Wasser, Kamilleextrakt, Oringaöl, Vitamin E, Lavendelöl, Orangeöl, Hammamelishydrolat, Lavendelhydrolat
Pure Repair Serum – Hair Oil (50ml, CHF50)
Arganöl, Kokosöl, Rizinusöl, Aloe Vera, Sheabutter, Moringaöl, Thymianöl, Rosmarinöl, Pfefferminzöl, Lavendelöl, Rosehydrolat, Roseöl, Kamilleöl
The Perfectionist – Personalised Daily Moisturizer (50ml, CHF80)
Nachtkerzenöl, Wasser, Aprikosenkernöl, Traubenlernöl, Calendulaöl, Moringaöl, Sheabutter, Baobaböl, Mandelöl, Macadamiaöl, Avellanaöl, Aloe Vera, Neemöl, Hammamelishydrolat, Vitamin E, Kakaobutter, Glycerin, Orangeöl, Lavendelöl, Rosenöl, Arnikaöl, Emulsan, Brokkolisamenöl, Grünteeextrakt, Japanischer Beerenwachs, Kamilleextrakt, Hyaluronsäure, Biokons, Kollagen, Vitamin C
Now, I have been using these products for about 2,5 weeks-ish every single day. And I must say I am really impressed!
I was never really sure how Oil Cleansers work but was very interested to try them. And oh my, it is good! Because I have combination skin my face tends to feel very dry after washing it and if I don't apply moisturizer right after, it can be very uncomfortable. The 'Clean Slate' really hydrates your skin whilst thoroughly cleansing it. A lot of my acne scars have healed very quickly and my blackheads have reduced massively. I do not really know what it is but my skin loves it! A big plus for me is also that it does not smell like anything. I don't like putting a sh*t load of fragrance on my face.
The Vitamin Infusion Tonic is also one of my favourites. It smells and feels very refreshing and prepares your skin perfectly for moisturizer. it can be used before makeup or over makeup. although I would not recommend the latter because the
This leads me to my next favorite: The Perfectionist. This cream is packed with amazing nutrients that benefit your skin. Although it might seem quite heavy at the beginning, it really did wonders for my skin. It hydrates and reduces redness and fine lines. Even my under eye area seems tighter and more plump than before. If you know me, you know that I suffer from extreme sensitive skin, so for me it is important that my skin care is really gentle. With Natural Choices I did not have a bad reaction what so ever. (and no, this post is not sponsored! )
Now that my hair has gotten longer again, I obviously have split ends. Of course there is nothing like a trim at the hairdresser's but it is important to take care of your hair beforehand to prevent major damage. If you want to let your hair grow healthy and strong, hair oil is a must. I have tried many hair oils in the past but this one was very different from the ones I know because it does not contain silicone or other chemical additives. I have used the Pure Repair Serum on my 3rd day hair over night before I would wash it the next morning. To be honest I am not a big fan of the smell, although I really love the scent of rosemary but I think it is a little bit intense. But if you have dry ends like I do, this is worth the investment.
Over all I think Natural Choices offer a great product range with high quality, self made products that are customizable to your needs. The price point might be hight at first put if you consider the fact that it is Swiss based and self made with all natural ingredients it does its price justice.
Another thing I will say that has improvement potential is the packaging. I love the black and gold theme and the fact that it comes in solid glass containers, but I wished you were able to see through the glass so you know how much product you have left and when it is time to buy a backup. For me as a customer I would also wish for them to put more information about the product, like ingredients, benefits etc., on the packaging as well.
Anyway I think their products are worth a try and it's always nice to support local businesses, so definitely go check out their website for more information about the brand and the whole product range.

The Ulsterman Report
Copy of post with links:
According to a Libyan intelligence document, the Muslim Brotherhood, including Egyptian President Morsi, were involved in the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, where several Americans, including U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, were killed.
On Wednesday, June 26, several Arabic websites, including Veto Gate, quoted the intelligence report, which apparently was first leaked to the Kuwaiti paper, Al Ra'i. Prepared by Mahmoud Ibrahim Sharif, Director of National Security for Libya, the report is addressed to the nation's Minister of Interior.
It discusses the preliminary findings of the investigation, specifically concerning an "Egyptian cell" which was involved in the consulate attack. "Based on confessions derived from some of those arrested at the scene" six people, "all of them Egyptians" from the jihad group Ansar al-Sharia ("Supporters of Islamic Law"), were arrested.
According to the report, during interrogations, these Egyptian jihadi cell members "confessed to very serious and important information concerning the financial sources of the group and the planners of the event and the storming and burning of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi…. And among the more prominent figures whose names were mentioned by cell members during confessions were: Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi; preacher Safwat Hegazi; Saudi businessman Mansour Kadasa, owner of the satellite station, Al-Nas; Egyptian Sheikh Muhammad Hassan; former presidential candidate, Hazim Salih Abu Isma'il…"
It should be noted that these findings are unsurprising: the supremacism of prominent Brotherhood figure Safwat Hegazi is such that he publicly declares the Brotherhood "will rule the world"; Saudi Mansour's hate-mongering, pro-Brotherhood TV station repeatedly aired footage of the YouTube Muhammad movie inciting violence around the Muslim world; popular Sheikh Muhammad Hassan holds that smiling to non-Muslims is forbidden, except when trying to win them over to Islam; and Sheikh Hazim Abu Ismail is simply an openly anti-freedom, anti-infidel religious leader.
As for President Morsi, a video made during the consulate attack records people speaking in the Egyptian dialect: as they approach the beleaguered U.S. compound, one of them yells to the besiegers, "Don't shoot—Dr. Morsi sent us!"

Tiong Seng Holdings:
Buy S$0.25,
Leading contractor, superior margins
Price Target : 12-Month S$ 0.33
•2Q13 PATMI of S$3.4m in line
•Robust construction orders; stable margins
•New pre-cast plants in Iskandar and Myanmar to be ready in phases over 2013-2014
•Maintain BUY rating and S$0.33 TP
2Q13 PATMI in line. Tiong Seng Holdings (TSNG) reported 1% topline growth to S$131.6m. It booked less construction revenue in 2Q13 (S$103.7m,-18% y-o-y) but that was compensated by higher revenue recognition from the sale of development properties (S$25.1m, >100% y-o-y), attributed to the sale of 230 units at Sunny Int'l Cangzhou.
At the operating level, higher construction margins (14% vs 9% a year ago) lifted group operating profit by 16% y-o-y to S$4.3m. But associate contribution fell 99% y-o-y to S$0.05m due to the completion of several construction JV projects a year ago. Hence, net profit tumbled 65% to S$3.4m. The group declared a final dividend of 1sct per share (30% payout ratio, similar to a year ago), which translates into 3.9% yield.
Our View
Construction orderbook remains robust; stable margins with the use of pre-casts and construction technology. The construction division – with a secured S$1.3bn orderbook – will remain a consistent contributor over FY13-14F, when the bulk of revenues will be recognised. The management expects labor costs - due to levies and tighter man-year-entitlements (MYE) - to pressure margins in the next two years, but forecasts construction margins to remain stable (relative to peers) at c.10% with increasing use of automation and technology (automated pre-cast factory and formworks).
New facilities in Iskandar and Myanmar to drive grow of overseas business. TSNG has construction of two more pre-cast facilities in Iskandar and Myanmar. The former is meant to meet the group's requirement in Singapore, and the latter to cater to expected strong demand for housing in Myanmar. The facilities are expected to be ready and contribute to earnings in phases by the end of 2013 and in 2014.
Maintain BUY, S$0.33 TP. Our TP is based on 45% discount to SOTP value, with the construction division pegged to 8x P/E.

The great depression in the 30's hit everyone. The outer decayed, while the rich still clutching the picture of their own prosperity. This I have tried to retrieve a combination of materials. The thin, delicate cotton with black shoes, gray jersey with gold stripes. Dress in coarse wool and edged in gold. Rich and poor together. A major inspiration was the series Carnivale that reflects this contrast well.

Nine former Nokia employees and shareholders plan to publish their alternative strategy for the company at a May 3 shareholder meeting. Nokia announced last Friday its plan to partner with Microsoft and choose Windows Phone as its primary mobile platform.
The group, Nokia Plan B, says that if it is elected to the board it will immediately fire current CEO Stephen Elop and adopt the company's previous strategy, aiming for growth and high profit margins.
The group's central demand is that Nokia must maintain control of its software platform. According to the group, software is the only way the company can differentiate, innovate and create shareholder value.
The manifesto published by the group pleads that Nokia must not become a low-margin, low-cost, original equipment manufacturer with operations that fail to attract highly qualified professionals as employees.
Cooperation with Microsoft must be restricted to a tactical operation with the aim of retaking the North American market, the group said. Under this plan, Nokia would only release a couple of Nokia-branded Windows Phone devices. More models should be produced only if partnerships with operators make it possible, the group said.
The group proposes that Nokia must lean towards MeeGo instead of Windows Phone as its primary platform in the future.

Online Backup for Ademero Content Management
Taking into account all the data that comes along with business, adequate planning has become a multifaceted operation that is a complex process when not handled properly. Complexity and business are like oil and water — for today's fast paced requirements, complicated tasks slow down business and as such, they simply do not mix. Though the underlying structure of the systems we use may be composed of layer upon layer of code, with multicore processors executing instruction sets in parallel, billions of times a second, business requires these functions to be reflected through simplified mechanics on the user end. The user experience is the goal which ultimately incorporates an enhanced level of productivity and profitability throughout an organization, as a result of a positive experience.
Document Management is an essential service provided by Ademero for business to centralize information on a unified platform. Ademero offers several services that an organization can utilize to streamline data management.
Based out of central Lakeland, Florida in the United States, Ademero provides both software and hardware to assemble company data into a manageable system.
Ademero's flagship product is a system for Document Management called Content Central. This software can work from any system to procure data through a simplified management interface which offers several other tools for organizing and locating information. Once installed on a machine, the system may be accessed through browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome that, once connected, provides a web interface for manipulating and extracting information on the machine. It offers a simplified searching utility for quickly finding information that may have formerly been lost in a sea of data. Administrators can assign privileges and permissions to users to regulate how data is accessed.
Content Central has other unique features as well, such as the ability to capture data from a physical document.
After the document is imaged, the system analyzes the character through an intuitive recognition system which takes you through a process to classify the data. This design improves productivity by automating data entry processes, eliminating the need to manually enter information, piece by piece. Content Central is made to interact with databases such as SQL server systems, which can be used to supplement data storage and retrieval functions.
Ademero provides a couple different utilities to help a business utilize Content Central. It can be installed on a Windows machine or on just about any network infrastructure that can support running the processing requirement, which varies depending on the number of users actively using the system. Ademero also provides custom hardware known as the Content Central DMS Appliance — an out of the box storage server that is preinstalled with the Content Central. This system is best described as a dynamic and powerful NAS that easily integrates into any network for a highly functional Document Management system.
Storagepipe is an unaffiliated third-party from Ademero, and clients should contact Ademero directly for information on Ademeroo's systems.
Storagepipe has been an online backup leader since 2001, and proudly offers cutting-edge data protection and disaster recovery systems for critical servers and systems such as Ademero and others. Contact Storagepipe today for Ademero online backup.

September 20, 2008
Wabash sent notice Saturday it has added a rushing attack to go with its usual powerful passing game. The Little Giants chewed up 184 yards on the ground en route to a 49-7 win over the University of Chicago.
A full weekend of Wabash activities built around the Saturday afternoon football game filled the Crawfordsville campus. The usual 3,500-plus fans jammed Hollett Little Giant Stadium for Erik Raeburn's home coaching debut. See photo albums here, here, here.
A much-improved defensive effort and balanced offensive attack overwhelmed the visiting Maroons (0-2) in their first matchup with Wabash since 1939. The Little Giants ran the ball for 184 yards, setting the tempo on the game's opening possession.
Bobby Kimp carried the ball seven times including the final two yards for the opening score. He finished the day with 74 yards on 17 carries.
"The running game compared to last year is much improved," the senior back said. "We're moving the ball with more consistency, four yards then five yards. Last year we struggled a lot and at times last year we were one-dimensional and down the road it kind of hurt us. This year we have a nice running game and with Matt (Hudson) playing the way he's playing, we seem to be a complete unit."
Hudson, who hit on 19 of 28 attempts for two scores, got the Little Giants on the board again in the second quarter with a 36-yard strike to Brock Graham. But it was the defense that was setting the tone and made, arguably, the biggest play of the rout.
Chicago ventured near midfield with under a minute to play when Dan Ryan Wood stepped in front of a John Keirnan pass and returned it 64 yards down the sideline to ignite the Wabash crowd and give Wabash a 21-0 halftime margin.
"I thought our defense played a lot better," Raeburn said. "We thought we played good run defense last week but one of the things we were disappointed in was we just didn't see the guys breaking on the football in the passing game. I think we'll be a lot happier when we put the films on after this game and see there were several guys breaking on the ball and getting their hands on the football. It looked a lot better in the secondary and at linebacker."
Rich Lehmann led Wabash with seven tackles. He said the difference this week was a "finish the play" mentality the team lacked at Denison. "We believe last week the only reason they scored was we shot ourselves in the foot," the senior linebacker said. "And if you look at all their drives last week they were on penalties and more penalties."
Wabash held the Maroons to 86 yards rushing and 108 passing. The Little Giants accumulated 481 total yards on offense while limiting Chicago to 194. After being flagged 13 times for more than 100 yards last week, Wabash saw only eight yellows for 54 yards in its home debut.
Minus one Kiernan touchdown pass to Clay Wolff against Wabash's second defensive unit, the entire second half was all Wabash.
The Little Giants scored twice in the third quarter. The first drive was again anchored by Kimp's running with Andrew Rode hauling in a short Hudson pass for the score. A little trickery led to the next touchdown. The key play in the drive was Hudson's 57-yard toss to Graham. Hudson then handed off to Kimp who gave the ball on an end-around to Rode who waltzed 23 yards in for the score, 35-0.
Both of Wabash's final scores came on the ground. Derrick Yoder scored on a one-yard plunge then Adam Pilli led a second team effort to close the game when he rushed for 27 yards on the final drive of the game and picked up his final six at the goal line. 49-7
Wabash entered the game wanting to run the ball, but this week they did it. Chicago plays a 3-3-5 defense. "We knew we were going to need to run the football." Raeburn said. "With only three defensive linemen they can play a lot of different coverages, so we felt like running the football was important. We didn't feel like we did a great job of it last week, so yea that was more of an emphasis today."
Kimp, Yoder, and Pilli must be enjoying the new emphasis. The three combined for 154 of the Little Giants 184 yards on a combined 35 attempts. The three backs have done all this while last year's leading rusher Evan Sobecki continues to recover from a pre-season injury.
The game was delayed an extra 45 minutes at halftime by a thunderstorm in the area. It didn't seem to bother Wabash. "That's tough, I've never actually had one of those," Raeburn said. "We were going through our regular halftime before we heard there was a delay . So then we just gave them some time to relax; we talked about some of the mistakes we made in the first half. I thought they handled it pretty well. I was worried we'd come out flat after getting the big play right before the half."
The coach was happy to finally get a game at home after spring practice, pre-season conditioning, and a road opener. "I've been waiting a long time for this. Everyone talked about what a great atmosphere it is on campus and I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Seems like it took forever for us to get here, but it was a lot of fun."
Wabash (2-0) will be on the road Saturday for its first visit in recent years to NCAC foe Kenyon.
Other weekend activities included dedication of the new TKE and Delta Tau Delta fraternity houses and the MXI Reunion. Look Monday for photo albums from all three events.

Although investments in traditional public markets have served us well in providing income for granting, we believe our investments can increasingly support our mission. Impact investing – investing with a focus on social and financial return – is a way to align more of our assets with our mission to drive positive change. In 2015-16, HCF's Board of Directors made significant steps toward this goal.
20 by 2020
In 2016, following a five-year impact investing pilot, the Board established a target of investing 20 percent of the Foundation's assets in impact investments by 2020. To achieve this "20 by 2020" goal while providing returns that ensure long-term financial stability, HCF will employ a mix of strategies aligned with priorities that include a preference for local investments, balanced with national/global investments to provide a diversified portfolio. Focus areas for impact investment include education, affordable housing, youth, health, employment and other areas that align with granting priorities. The Foundation's next steps will be to assess opportunities, investment criteria, local and national partnerships and measuring and reporting on social impact.
Responsible investing
Recognizing that all investments, including public market investments, have a social or environmental impact that can be positive or negative, the Foundation is deepening its examination of its public market portfolio holdings. Again, building on its five-year pilot with an "ESG" portfolio where environmental, social and governance practices are an important part of investment considerations, the Board has undertaken annual audit of its current traditional public market portfolios . The audit was conducted by Sustainalytics, global leaders in helping investors to develop and implement responsible investment strategies.
Audit results identified that portfolios under the direction of each of HCF's three investment managers were outperforming benchmarks for ESG performance. This demonstrates that HCF's portfolios comprise companies with a "stronger than average preparedness to manage material environmental, social and governance risks." The Foundation will be working with its investment managers, who are all signatories to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment, to determine next steps in the evolution of our investment policy.
The Board also has undertaken proxy voting audits to monitor the decisions made by its investment managers. The audit was conducted by SHARE (Shareholder Association for Research & Education), Canadian leaders in responsible investment services, research, and education.
Hamilton Community Investment Fund
Locally, the Hamilton Community Investment Fund offers loans to charities and non- profits thereby "recycling" capital for community use. A breadth of local organizations continue to benefit from financing from this fund, including the Mustard Seed Co-op, the Cootes to Escarpment EcoPark System, and Indwell. Most recently, the fund has approved a loan to Trilliium Housing Non-Profit to develop a project that will deliver housing affordability in Hamilton.
Trillium Housing has acquired a three-acre site in the city where it will develop approximately 70 townhouses. The organization develops units at the entry level of the local market and provides greater affordability through the Trillium Mortgage. The Trillium Mortgage combines with conventional financing to create affordable financing that enables a family to buy a home. The Trillium Mortgage is payment-free until discharge – it's like Trillium Housing owns a piece of the home so that it is more affordable for the family. The value of each Trillium Mortgage is based on each income-eligible purchaser's individual circumstance.
The innovative Trillium Housing model uses a partnership structure to create impact investment opportunities that deliver financial return and housing affordability without the need for government subsidy.

"How should I end my interview?"
It's a question I've gotten from several candidates.
The fire interview is by far the most important step of the entire hiring process. Your chances of getting hired live and die in those precious minutes.
No matter how well you think you did, if you don't end it properly all your hard work goes right out the window.
Let's look at a few principles for ending the interview properly.
There's an old thought out there that candidates or rookies are only to speak when spoken to and nothing more. Thankfully that line of thinking is going away.
Remember, this panel wants to get to know you, and I have a hard time believing that if you include a sentence or two of genuine gratitude and appreciation to the panel that they will find it off putting or irritating in any way.
However, the panel isn't looking for a closing monologue. I typically recommend against a traditional closing statement, but some people seem to think it is still a good idea. The panel has just spent the last 20 minutes or so getting to know you so I really don't see a whole lot of sense in recapping everything you've talked about.
That being said, if you do decide to end with a closing statement, limit it to a few sentences at most. Something along the lines of,
'Thank you all very much for your time. I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to interview in front of you today. I look forward to hearing from you soon.'
Should be just right. It's short, appreciative, to the point and respectful.
So, should I ask questions at the end of the interview?
Yes and no.
If the panel doesn't ask you if you have any questions for them (I'd be surprised if they didn't), then no. Don't ask any questions. That would be the perfect time to stand up, thank them for their time and leave.
More than likely after the panel has completed the interview they will ask you if you have any questions for them. It's important you get these right.
It's important that during your preparation for your upcoming interview you come up with two or three genuine questions for them, and with these questions I want to make a few guidelines.
1. DO NOT under any circumstances ask about any of the following:
– money
– vacation
– time off
– benefits
– bonus/ perks of the job
– or anything that can be misinterpreted as you applying to the job for the 'wrong reasons'
2. DO come prepared with two questions. This makes you look interested, engaged and eager to learn more about their department.
3. DO NOT try to be funny or make any jokes. You don't need to be a robot, but this is certainly not the time for comedy. Remember your goal is to look professional the entire time.
4. DO ask questions that show, or at least hint at a few things:
– You're interested in working for THEIR department
– You want to learn more
– You want to expand your role beyond the minimum requirements
– You're confident in yourself and your ability to be an asset to their department
If you're anything like me I learn best from examples. Feel free to craft your own questions from those guidelines, but here are some of the exact questions I used:
– What does the new cadet training program consist of at _________ Fire Department?
– Does _________ Fire Department encourage their firefighters to further their education through courses offered at the fire academy?
– What community outreach programs does _________ Fire Department participate in?
– What is the relationship like between __________ Fire Department and the community?
And, for those places in the country that don't require firefighter's to be paramedics…
– Does _________ Fire Department encourage firefighters to go to paramedic school?
If you look at those questions they fit all the guidelines. They don't mention anything about perks, money or time off. You're not trying to be funny or clever.
But most importantly they show that you're interested in finding out more about their particular department, and furthering your knowledge and responsibility within that department.
Finally, my last bit of advice would be to watch how many questions you ask. While asking great inquisitive questions can really make you stand out as a candidate, too many questions can put the panel on the defensive.
Remember, YOU'RE the interviewee not them.
My rule was I always stuck to a maximum of two questions. If you can end the interview properly, it will make you stand out far more than most.

What is the Renew Newcastle project
Renew Newcastle was founded in late 2008 by creative thinker and entrepreneur Marcus Westbury inas an attempt to get artists and creative projects into some of the growing number of empty shops and offices within the Newcastle CBD.
Despite the high number of empty spaces there was still a comparative lack of affordable spaces in which creative projects and initiatives could get started.
By the end of its first year, Renew Newcastle had initiated more than 40 creative enterprises and projects in what had been empty buildings.
The creative enterprisesse included art galleries, artist studios, web and graphic design businesses, small publishers, film and video studios, retail shops for locally made arts and crafts, fashion design businessesers, a jewellery workshop, a milliner, and two photographyic studios and galleries.
By the end of 2009 Renew Newcastle had about 25 formerly empty spaces under management.
Just as importantly, it had been the catalyst for renewed commercial investment in the area around Newcastle's formerly dilapidated Hunter Street Mall.
Renew Newcastle had widely been cited by property owners, business groups, media and politicians as having been responsible for a turnaround in a formerly rundown area of the city.
Commercial tenants had returned to the area for the first time in years and Renew Newcastle was gradually moving into other parts of the CBD.

From an incubated company's inception Skyler Brand Ventures (SBV) employs lean start-up methodologies, allowing Skyler to launch blockbuster products faster and more effectively than the large beauty conglomerates. There are tremendous cost and operational synergies associated with the incubator as each venture shares a "common kitchen" approach to R&D resources.
Large beauty companies are hindered by a number of factors that impede a new product's speed to market including heavy investment in R&D, branding, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution, coupled with multi-layered corporate processes, procedures, and paperwork.
SBV instead leverages its partner network and start-up roots to bring superior products to market faster, leaner and cheaper. Advised by Jen van der Meer, one of the leading lean start-up experts in the country, we are able to minimize R&D expenses by leveraging our partner network's infrastructure. For example we have access to cutting-edge, specialized research lab facilities and technical expertise as a result of our partnership with leading academics, which reduces spend while maintaining a high level of innovation. Skyler also outsources other supply chain functions such as branding, marketing, manufacturing and distribution to strategic partners, most of whom are founding shareholders in the companies. Finally SBV itself maintains a flat, nimble organizational structure pulling together all the elements of a lean start-up organization.
Taken together our model reduces the time to bring a product to market from 3 to 4 years (traditional beauty companies) to approximately 1 year.

8:00 – 8:50 am Continental Breakfast
8:50 – 9:00 am Welcome Remarks
9:00 – 9:50 am The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: Professional Liability Insurance
Professional liability insurance policies share several common characteristics. How well do you understand this product, which covers both insurer and policyholder attorneys? What's a Claim? What constitutes Professional Services? Does the Profit and Advantage exclusion apply when a grievant seek return of the legal fees they paid you? We've got these issues covered so that you will better understand your client's, and your own, professional liability insurance programs.
9:50 – 10:30 am Subrogation, Equitable Contribution, and Other Insurance: Untangling The Gordian Knot Without Prolonged Litigation
The panel will explore issues and disputes that arise when a single policyholder potentially has coverage under several different policies as either a named insured or an additional insured, and the insurance carriers assert theories such as allocation, equitable contribution, other insurance and subrogation, among others, to restrict their obligations to provide defense and indemnity coverage. The panel will focus on the underlying bases for the different assertions and reflect on the best way of resolving the issues short of extensive (and expensive) litigation.
10:30 – 10:40 am Break
10:40 – 11:25 am War and Peace (The Abridged Version): Application of the War and Terrorism Exclusions
The war exclusion has existed in many types of insurance policies for over 100 years. Yet it is not often litigated. This presentation would be an exploration of the genesis of the exclusion, its many amendments over the years, where it applies and where it does not apply. In addition, the presentation would discuss the pertinence of the exclusion in today's world of terrorism.
11:25 am – 12:00 pm Building Product Class Actions - Coverage Under the Roof?
The trend in building product class cases is against certification, but Rule 23 creates room to certify at least a liability-only class. Duty to defend issues: is anything sought by the class beyond product replacement? How do insurers over 20-30 years share the cost? Are $1,000/hr lawyers required to defend these cases? Does a settlement class make sense? Is settlement the policyholder's or the insurers' call? How do liability insurers fit into a settlement package a court will approve? Are the costs of administering a settlement fund defense costs? Is there a way to minimize the cost -both to the policyholder and to the insurers - of these actions without motivating the class action bar to file additional cases?
12:00 – 1:00 pm Lunch
Keynote Remarks: Alexander Hamilton and James Donavan: Coverage Lawyers in the Spotlight
Coverage lawyers are not often household names nor part of pop culture. That has changed recently. Randy Maniloff, noted author of Coverage Opinions, will present a presentation on two in this category. Alexander Hamilton was a major figure in the development of maritime insurance coverage law. James Donovan, of "Bridge of Spies" fame, was a coverage lawyer when not representing a Soviet spy and negotiating for the release of a U.S. spy.

2:50 – 3:30 pm Show Me the Money: Latest Developments in the Recovery of Attorneys Fees in Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation

Brian McDermott confirms he's still Leeds boss but admits his future remains unclear
LEEDS boss Brian McDermott remains manager but admits his future remains unclear after three days of upheaval at the Championship club.
McDermott, appointed in April last year after being sacked by Reading, was reportedly fired on Friday.
The club's owners - GFH Capital - put out a statement on Saturday saying McDermott was still in charge, although he was not in the dugout when Leeds crushed Huddersfield Town 5-1 in front over 31,000 fans, many of whom showed their support for the 52-year-old.
GFH has agreed to sell 75 percent of the club to Eleonora Sport Limited which is owned by the Cellino family who also own Italian Serie A side Cagliari.
McDermott returned to the club's training ground on Monday, but later told a news conference that while he was still in charge, there was no guarantee about his future.
"I've no idea if I'm more secure now," he said.
"I can't answer that. The most important thing in football is to win games.
"When I came in I signed a three-year deal and we talked about a long-term vision with a direction for the football club with stability."
"I've no idea if I'm more secure now"Brian McDermott
McDermott said it would have been easy to walk away from the club, currently 11th in England's second-tier, but he had no intention of resigning.
"Some big people in the game have said don't go back. But how can I not go back? There is no way I would leave the group of staff I have here and the supporters. My job now is to get results. The bigger picture is the stability of this club moving forward and that's what I was put in this position for.
"Not too many people have said stick with it. For me, walking away would have been the easy thing to do. I wasn't interested in that, I want to be Leeds United manager."
McDermott said he was responsibly for all "football matters" at the club, and no-one would be allowed into the dugout or dressing room without his permission.
The sale of the club is subject to Football League approval, and McDermott said it was important the ownership situation was resolved as quickly as possible.
Leeds, English champions in 1992, have failed to regain their top-flight status following relegation from the Premier League in 2004.

I'm burnt out. From the office job. Like… I just … can't keep doing this paperwork. And with every passing day there's more paperwork and I'm the only one that does all the paperwork on the sales side. THE ONLY ONE. And I'm tired. Exhausted. OVERDUE by SEVERAL MONTHS for my vacation but I couldn't take it any earlier because of cherry season. Things aren't getting easier in the office, they're getting harder. And I've hit my max tipping point.
So this was probably the worst time to get a 2nd job but it is what it is and I have to learn to handle.
And it's weird because as soon as the office is over I have to switch my brain into linen/textile mode. And then I'm still getting texts and calls from the office while I'm there. And then I sleep and I have linen on the brain but it's like I have to start thinking produce. It's a little confusing. And my brain is seriously like on overtime mode. And it's like leading this double life of two very different things.
I did exercise last night though… so I feel at least a little bit better. My body feels mildly sore which is just what I wanted to feel… like I'm putting in that work and improving the quality of my soul. Sweating it all out has become such an intrinsic necessary means of cleansing out all the bad that when I haven't worked out, I start to accumulate all this stress internally.
Anyway… back to work.
