In the short time that we've owned our motorhome – a 2008 Winnebago View 24J – we've made a few modifications that we're really pleased with. These include replacing the "house" radio/CD/DVD player in the galley with a framed photo of our backyard and installing a unit into the dash that can handle all of our media needs; adding swivel adapters to the seats up front; installing USB power outlets here and there; and a handful of power-related upgrades.
This is kind of a geeky post, so if that sort of thing interests you, do keep reading – if not, you've already got the gist of it.
I replaced the mostly redundant (and, in our case, malfunctioning) OEM Jensen DVD/CD player in the galley base cabinet with the aforementioned framed photo. I also replaced the original 19″ TV above the door with a bigger-screen model that is about the same size overall (so it could fit in the same place!), replaced the batwing TV antenna with a King Jack antenna, replaced the OEM Sony dash radio with a Pioneer radio/DVD/touchscreen/bluetooth/speakerphone/SiriusXM receiver and wired the TV up to that (instead of to a separate unit in the galley). The original wiring was set up so the dash radio can play through the coach speakers (which are not bad!), and that still works as before with the new receiver.
(We have a Flickr album with a few more photos of the AV upgrade: Link)
I ran into a couple of complications with this upgrade. The first was the dashboard. Although the original radio installation on the surface looks like it's a straightforward single- or double-DIN-compatible dash so that all you'd need to do is buy is a Sprinter adapter kit and screw it in place (like you'd do in any normal vehicle), it is NOT. It is a non-standard assembly, made specially for Winnebago I believe, to hold that Sony radio (and only that brand and size radio) without any adapter whatsoever. I was able to convert that assembly into a workable carrier for the Sprinter kit I had bought with about a day's worth of iterative Dremel-tool mayhem, but that was scary. Had I failed, the alternative would have been to chase down an OEM Sprinter dash center console radio bracket from Mercedes (not the Winnebago special) and start over with that.
Second, all the cabling from the TV was routed to the rear, through the overhead cabinet above the sink, behind the microwave, down the closet wall to the back of the base cabinet, then forward again to the Jensen CD/DVD player I was removing. (Not sure I had to pull it all out, but I did, and in the process gained a thorough understanding of the mechanicals in that part of the RV, so it was not a complete waste of my time.) Finding a path from the TV to behind the center of the dash was…challenging. I wound up routing the cables into the over-cab side wall just ahead of the TV, down under the floor of the overhead berth, over to the center of the berth, then forward into the dome light area. The rearview camera wiring also had its connections here, which was convenient. From there, I went across to the passenger side A-pillar, and brought everything down to the footwell behind the A-pillar cover (it includes the windshield privacy screen), across under the glovebox, and up through the center console. The tricky part was finding my way to the dome light – every other path I could imagine involved going outside through the floor or drilling down through the steel roof of the cab.
Rearview camera display:
The new receiver was built for backup camera display, so I scrapped the overhead rearview monitor screen and wired the OEM camera to the in-dash receiver. (Jensen makes an adapter for that.) I added a switch to the rearview trigger wire so we can view the backup camera on the dashboard display whenever the engine is on, even if we're not backing up. It is a SPDT on/on rocker switch up by the dome light; in one position the reverse trigger passes through like normal, in the other position +12V is sent to the trigger regardless of the transmission or reverse lights. Here is a photo of where the screen used to be, and the new switch:
Convenience features:
We elected to install swivel seat adapters on both driver and passenger seats. These adapters are expensive, heavy, a pain to install, complicated to operate – and I wouldn't be without them! They are really great to have.
I added USB outlets under the overhead shelf in the bedroom area for charging phones. These are 12v to 5v converters that I wired into the light circuit that was already there. I also put one inside the kitchen cabinet above the sink, where there is wiring for cable TV and various antennas, which will power the cellular wifi hotspot and a ROKU stick. I put these outlets on switches since they draw a small current when they are live, even with nothing plugged in to them.
Power management:
One of the first things we did when we got the rig was to replace all of the coach bulbs w/LEDs. Running every light in the house now draws less electricity than a single ceiling fixture did before the swap.
Another early mod was to replace the original, single-stage power converter with an updated, multi-stage model. This became necessary because the original converter shorted out when some mice built their nest on top of it and proceeded to saturate the circuitry with their urine… I'm thankful to them, though, because this new converter is much better for maintaining the batteries and at the time I didn't know enough about RV power to be concerned.
I also replaced the original 80-amp-rated battery combiner/boost solenoid (which had failed!) with a heavy-duty unit rated for 200 amps. This relay connects the coach batteries to the alternator for charging, as well as to the chassis battery for a jump start. As a result of the repair/upgrade, the coach batteries once again charge when the engine is running (as they are supposed to do!) as well as from the converter, and the jump-start feature works. Yay! For completeness, I installed a Trik-L-Start unit so the chassis battery charges when the coach batteries are being charged from shore power through the converter, instead of only from the alternator. With this setup, if any battery is charging then all the batteries are charging – and as a result, I sleep better.
Still thinking about:

Mix Daniel Cook with Don Henderson of Alberta's Royal Tyrrell Museum and you get Dan Henderson — the name of the lead character in Dino Dan, the new CG/live-action kids series from Toronto's Sinking Ship Entertainment.
'Dino Dan's not your typical show,' says producer, director and writer J.J. Johnson. 'We bring the dinosaurs to present time, thanks to CGI work.'
The series is led by 11-year-old Jason Spevack (The Stone Angel) who, as Dan, asks a question at the beginning of each show such as 'How tall were dinosaurs?' The following episode sees Dan conjuring up dinos all around him to answer that question.
'You might see dinosaurs up against a school bus or in the street,' says Johnson, who co-created the series with Cook, the 11-year-old best known as host of This Is Daniel Cook.
Johnson's known Cook for more than six years, having worked with him on the hit kids series that saw him interview the likes of former PM Paul Martin and Kim Cattrall. He even co-hosted an episode of Oprah. Johnson is familiar with Cook's love of all things prehistoric.
'The one thing that's always defined him is his love of dinosaurs,' says Johnson. 'He started filming This Is Daniel Cook wanting to be a paleontologist, and 100 episodes later he still wants to be just that.'
Cook doesn't act in Dino Dan, but will appear in webisodes.
Blair Powers, Matt Bishop and Johnson, partners at Sinking Ship, exec produce. The 26 x 30 series is budgeted at just over $210,000 per episode. It is filming on weekends until next September at a school in Toronto's upscale Forest Hill neighborhood. Andrea Martin guests as a quirky art teacher and Kevin McDonald appears as a librarian.
Toronto-based Optix Digital Pictures is creating the CGI dinosaurs and related effects in a process that they estimate will take eight months. There's roughly 2.5 minutes of CGI dinosaurs per episode. Dino Dan's world so far has 18 dinosaurs, 14 that are photorealistic and 'four babies that are ridiculously cute,' says Johnson.
Laurence Cymet, CG supervisor at Optix, says R&D began in April. 'The tricky thing here is there's no visual reference,' says Cymet. 'Much of the artwork around [about dinosaurs] is wrong, so we're working with Alberta's Royal Tyrrell Museum for accuracy on all on our models.'
This is Optix's first major dinosaur project. The constant back and forth with the museum required a pipeline with major flexibility to allow for updates to the models. Each dinosaur went through eight passes before being locked in a process Johnson calls 'painfully thorough, but necessary.'
'But it also means these dinosaurs are going to be cutting-edge,' says Cymet.
'The museum kept saying, 'You're too mammalian-thinking. You've got to remember they're reptiles.' So we went back to the drawing board a few times,' says Johnson. 'Now our triceratops moves like it should, like a lizard.
'We're trying to live up to what kids' imaginations peg dinosaurs at,' he adds. 'And Daniel is always the voice in my mind as to what kids are interested in.'
Dino Dan is expected to go to air in January 2010 on TVO, Access Alberta, Knowledge and SCN in Canada, as well as Noggin in the U.S. and Nickelodeon Australia.

Condition of College and Career Readiness 2017: Underserved Learners Lag Far Behind Peers
Underserved students lag far behind their peers when it comes to college and career readiness, and the more underserved characteristics that students possess, the less likely they are to be ready. These findings are reported in The Condition of College & Career Readiness 2017 from ACT.
Underserved students, who represent nearly half (46 percent) of ACT-tested 2017 U.S. high school graduates, are defined as students who would be the first generation in their family to attend college, come from low-income families and/or self-identify their race/ethnicity as minority. Research suggests students with any of these three characteristics are less likely than others to have access to high-quality educational and career planning opportunities and resources.
Only 9 percent of ACT-tested graduates who possessed all three underserved characteristics showed strong readiness for college coursework, meeting three or four of the ACT College Readiness Benchmarks (English, mathematics, reading and science). Even among students who met only one of the underserved criteria, just 26 percent showed strong readiness. In comparison, the majority (54 percent) of graduates who were not underserved showed strong readiness for college.
Conversely, the majority of underserved students—including 81 percent of those with all three underserved characteristics—achieved only one or none of the four ACT benchmarks. Those students are likely to struggle in college-level coursework.
"While it's no surprise that underserved students fall behind their peers due to the inequities that exist, it is extremely alarming and concerning to see how large this achievement gap really is," said ACT Chief Executive Officer Marten Roorda. "This gap presents a major risk to our nation's goals for postsecondary completion and economic competitiveness. We must work harder to ensure these students have access to quality coursework and information to assist them in planning for the future. We launched the ACT Center for Equity in Learning last year to help do just that."
The results are based on the more than 2 million 2017 graduates—60 percent of the national graduating class—who took the ACT® test.
The report includes ACT score results from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, including 16 states that required all students to take the ACT as part of their statewide testing programs and another four states that funded ACT testing on an optional basis. It also includes the results from more than 1,100 individual school districts across the country that administered the ACT to all students.
Visit the ACT Condition of College and Career Readiness Homepage to find more highlights, read the full national report, find state specific reports, and watch the video.
Assessing the Whole Student
Shifts in education and the workplace have changed how we think about college and career readiness in the United States. In response to the new dynamic, ACT created the Holistic Framework™ to help people better understand education and work readiness, navigate life's transition points, and achieve success. The framework defines a new standard for preparing and measuring student college and career readiness.
ACT recently released videos aimed to help you learn more about the four, key domains that emphasize a broad range of skills and encourage a more expansive vision of the outcomes that help to define student success.
Cross-Cutting Capabilities
Critical thinking, collaborative problem solving, and information and technology skills.
Education and Career Navigation Skills
Skills related to exploration, planning, and decision making.
English Learner Support Now Available
English learner (EL) supports are now available on the ACT® test to U.S. students. The goal of the supports is to help ensure that the ACT scores earned by English learners accurately reflect what they have learned in school. EL supports are limited to students in a local school district's EL program who meet the current definitions of an English learner under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Students must apply for the English learner supports through their high school counselors' office.
Qualifying students who receive the supports will earn college-reportable ACT scores.
The supports for qualified English learners will include the following:
- Additional time on the test (not to exceed time-and-a-half)
- Use of an approved word-to-word bilingual glossary (containing no word definitions)
- Test instructions provided in the student's native language (including Spanish and a limited number of other languages initially)
- Testing in a non-distracting environment (i.e., in a separate room)
"We believe these solutions will help ensure that English learners have an equal opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned in school, leveling the playing field while not giving the students any special advantages," said ACT Chief Commercial Officer Suzana Delanghe. "This change is about improving access and equity for students whose proficiency in English might prevent them from truly demonstrating the skills and knowledge they have learned. The supports are in keeping with the mission of ACT: Helping people achieve education and workplace success."
To help determine what supports could be offered to English learners without violating testing constructs or providing an unfair advantage, ACT assembled a panel of external experts representing state education agencies, colleges, EL and bilingual policy administrators from state departments of education, civil rights advocates, testing and measurement experts, and researchers. This approach reflects input from the nation's largest public university systems.
"Today's universities are serving the most diverse populations in the history of U.S. higher education," said California State University Chancellor Timothy P. White. "It is imperative that we give all students opportunities to demonstrate their true potential, in order to give all students access to the benefits of a university education."
ACT is committed to improving access and opportunity for underserved learners. Of critical importance to ACT is ensuring that the scores earned by English learners using these supports are valid and reliable for postsecondary use. ACT has preliminary data suggesting that academic achievement of English learners may be underreported under standard ACT test conditions. ACT has developed a full research agenda in support of the validity of scores earned by students using the supports based on actual test results.
Best Practices
Helena Public Schools—Assess, Analyze, Achieve
Helena Public School District in Montana faced two challenges: measuring student readiness and developing student growth. In 2014, the state of Montana implemented a grant that allowed the Helena Public School District to administer the ACT to all high school juniors. Helena quickly discovered that achievement on the test was closely correlated to course rigor so the district aligned their curriculum to the ACT-recommended course patterns.
By offering a broad and robust curriculum, Helena Public School District has experienced the following growth in the percentage of students meeting the ACT College Readiness Benchmarks.
Read the Helena story and discover how you can get your school to use a common language for student readiness and curriculum planning that will lead to district and student success.

Research Spotlight
English Language Learner Research Report
A random sample of students who took the ACT® test in April 2016 was invited to participate in an online survey evaluating different English Language Learner (ELL) indicators (n= 52,000). As part of this initiative, students, regardless of whether they were ELL, were also asked how many languages they speak in the home. A total of 10,336 students responded.
This survey revealed several key data insights.
Gaining a Better Understanding of ELL Students: The Number of Languages Spoken in the Home
Gaining a Better Understanding of ELL Students: How Well Do Parents Speak English?
Understanding How to Measure ELL: Evaluating Different Indicators of ELL
Key finding:
At least one out of three survey respondents speak more than one language in the home, even if English is the primary language.
Key finding:
Approximately 43% of students who indicataed that they spoke a language other than English in the home reported that their parents speak English less than very well.
Key finding:
The language most commonly spoken in the home may be different than the language easiest to use when speaking.
Product Spotlight
OpenEd Collaborating with Blackboard
Blackboard Inc., a leading education technology company for teaching, learning and student engagement, and OpenEd, an ACT product and the leading online resource library for K-12 teachers, announced a new collaboration which integrates OpenEd's standards-aligned open educational resource (OER) library with Blackboard's learning management systems and solutions.

Safety & Security
Providing our students with an environment that is SAFE AND CONDUCIVE TO LEARNING is paramount to the Elizabethtown Area School District. Ongoing reviews of our operations, facilities, and safety protocols are constantly occurring. In addition, the District has a safe schools response plan that deals with situations ranging from a medical emergency in a school to a serious incident at Three Mile Island and everything in between. While we cannot share the details of our responses as it would compromise our safety measures, we can share a few ways in which we foster SCHOOL SAFETY:
- ENTRANCES: During the school day, all entrances to our schools, K-12, are locked. Visitors must enter each facility through a single visitors entrance. Each entrance has a camera/intercom/buzzer system that allows office staff the chance to see and communicate with visitors prior to "buzzing" open the door.
- SECURED VESTIBULES: Most of our schools have a secured vestibule that leads into the school office rather than the school hallways. Ongoing and future renovation projects will all entail the addition of a secured vestibule to those schools without.
- SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER: In a collaborative initiative with the Elizabethtown Police Department, the District employees a school resource officer (SRO). A SRO is a sworn law enforcement officer assigned to a school on a long-term basis. The SRO is specifically trained in and performs three main functions: law enforcement officer, law related counselor, and law related educator. The SRO is based out of Elizabethtown Area High School, with access and a presence across all of our schools in cooperation with all four municipalities.
- A.L.I.C.E.: Elizabethtown Area School District has employed the A.L.I.C.E. program (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) since 2010. The A.L.I.C.E. program has placed more tools in the hands of our faculty, staff, and students in the event the traditional, and still relevant "lockdown" is not enough to ensure personal well being. The A.L.I.C.E. program has provided our District with an enhanced approach to school safety.
- SAFETY DRILLS: Each of our schools routinely practices a series of drills as required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education including ones for fire and severe weather. In addition, the District conducts age-appropriate armed intruder drills.
- ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING BY LAW ENFORCEMENT: Elizabethtown Area School District is a host sight – while school is not in session generally over the summer - for local law enforcement to conduct mock active shooter training. Local law enforcement and volunteers including some of our teachers and administrators take part in the drill.
- HOTLINE: The District employs a hotline allowing students/community members to anonymously share information with District officials in an easy manner that is non-threatening to the tipster.
- THREATS: District administration has encouraged parents to talk with their children about the seriousness of threats and the importance of reporting suspicious activities, threats, or disturbing information to a trusted adult. Students should also be aware that law enforcement agencies are pursuing prosecution when such threats are intended as pranks. See Something, Say Something.
- PARTNERSHIPS: The Elizabethtown Area School District has an outstanding relationship with first responders including all three local police departments, our volunteer fire companies, and EMS. Information and conversations occur often and we work hand-in-hand to resolve situations as appropriate and necessary.

Walkaround checks or regular vehicle inspections, also known as pre-trip checks or vehicle verifications, are a great way to get started with regular maintenance and risk assessment in any fleet vehicle and are also part of the compulsory duties of fleets operating on the road as they demonstrate compliance, aside from the obvious advantages of checking vehicles regularly to maintain their functionality.
Walkaround checks essentially include different protocols that include both the outside and the inside of the vehicle. These can be carried out via paper checklists that can be printed and used like this one, or, even better, carried out via a smartphone app with the added benefit of providing a greater degree of personalisation. This could indeed present a distinct advantage for aviation ground fleets or GSE pools that have very specific checks and uses and increased complexity of movements and operations—so, which particular requirements of aviation ground fleets will be the basis for personalised walkaround check apps?
#1 – Traditional walk-around checks. Appropriate for the usual type of vehicles we find on our roads, such as vans, cars or emergency trucks—the "normal" walkaround checks provide a sound generic format from which to compile your own checklist.
#2 – Vehicle checks for mixed fleets like the GSE ones. Motorized and non-motorized assets that all have to be fully operational and at the right place at the right time. Design a standard checklist for all of your GSE vehicles and customise each one depending on the vehicle your staff is going to operate.
#3 – Communication equipment check. This is definitely something people working on ramps cannot skip, no matter what. Testing any type of communication device the team is using has to be a critical part of the verifications done in aviation ground fleets.
#4 – Safety protection clothing/equipment. You can decide to have an option including box-ticking for this particular item, such as if personnel are wearing the appropriate apparel, footwear, visibility accessories, protection for ears, eyes and so on.
#5 – Aircraft arrival. A detailed checklist of the actions to be carried out upon landing of an aircraft helps streamline the array of equipment involved and is a reminder that all safety and location procedures prior to landing have been carried out.
#6 – Aircraft departure. You can customise the checklist for your ground services team to include checks to be carried out before the aircraft has to take off.
#7 – Various services. You can add to your checklist fuel servicing, catering services, de-icing if that applies, potable water replenishment, loading, FOD inspections...
Digital walkaround checks are an invaluable tool to help organise and speed up operations where vehicles are involved—why not capitalise fully on their benefits if you are running an aviation ground fleet and customise them to your personal requirements? Talk to us or start a free trial if you want to learn more!

What is this punk, like, 18?
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

On August 1, 2016, the USEPA finalized a limited approval and limited disapproval of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's (BAAQMD) amendments to the New Source Review (NSR) Rules, Regulation 2 Rules 1 and 2. The finalized changes to Regulation 2, Rules 1 and 2, will become effective on August 31, 2016. Although USEPA is finalizing the proposed revisions, USEPA found deficiencies with requirements related to Minor NSR, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), and Nonattainment NSR. A summary of the key revisions and deficiencies from BAAQMD's submittal along with USEPA's findings can be found here. BAAQMD has 24 months from August 31, 2016 to remedy the deficiencies, resubmit revisions and have these approved by the USEPA, or USEPA will be obligated to promulgate a Federal Implementation Plan. In addition, USEPA will impose sanctions on BAAQMD if the deficiencies are not corrected and approved by EPA within 18 months of August 31, 2016.
The finalization of the NSR rules will have significant impacts on PSD Permitting within the BAAQMD. BAAQMD previously implemented the Federal PSD permitting program based on a delegation agreement with the USEPA that provided partial delegation of authority to the District. USEPA's finalization of these revisions means that BAAQMD will now be the PSD permitting authority. All PSD permits previously issued by the USEPA for sources located within the BAAQMD will be transferred to BAAQMD. In addition, all new PSD permits will be issued directly by the BAAQMD, and all new projects will be required to go through BAAQMD PSD permitting procedures and regulations.
BAAQMD will be hosting a technical workshop and training session to discuss the revised NSR permitting rules on September 9, 2016. More information about the workshop can be found here. If you have any questions on how this final rule may directly impact your Facility, please contact Melissa Hillman.

Guernsey Ladies come out on top in Inter-Island clash
Guernsey Ladies ran away with a four try victory over rivals Jersey at St Peter today. The final score 7-22.
It was a tough, physical game played in some very difficult conditions.
Jersey clawed a try back with the final play of the game but the Sarnians were the better side on the afternoon, forcing the home team to defend their line for most of the game.
Guernsey will be disappointed they just missed out on a bonus point victory but will be pleased a win keeps them in the running for a potential play-off spot in the Women's NC South East South division 1.

A woman who chose to have her baby after she was brutally raped at the age of twelve has said that she has no regrets, and that her daughter helped 'bring healing to her life'.
Lianna Rebolledo was walking near her home one night when two men abducted her. The attack was so violent it left her fighting for her life.
"It was very violent. I honestly thought they were going to kill me," she told LifeSiteNews.com in a video interview.
She later discovered she was pregnant as a result of the attack and a doctor advised her that abortion was her 'right'.
But Lianna decided to keep her baby after she asked the doctor if abortion would ease her pain and he replied 'no'.
"If abortion wasn't going to heal anything, I didn't see the point," she said.
"I just knew that I had somebody inside my body. I never thought about who her biological father was. She was my kid. She was inside of me."
She added that just knowing that her daughter needed her gave her motivation to get a job so she could support her.
Lianna, now 35, spoke of her misery after the attack and how she had contemplated suicide.
But she said looking back she realises how much difference her daughter has made to her life not least in helping her to overcome those suicidal thoughts.
"It was really hard, but just to see that little person telling me how happy she was that I gave her her life. When she said that — and she was only four years old when she told me: 'Mommy thank you for giving me life' — I realized that she was the one who gave me my life back."
"She's always been there for me. She's the only person who has shown me a real love. And I always will be grateful," she said.
Choose Life
The Christian Institute has highlighted a number of stories from people affected by the life and death decisions of abortion in its Choose Life series.
These include an account from Gary Moore, who was conceived through rape and who expresses his huge gratitude to his mother for not giving in to pressure to end his life.

Best friends Corey and Kyra were inseparable in their snow-covered town of Lost Creek, Alaska. When Corey moves away, she makes Kyra promise to stay strong during the long, dark winter, and wait for her return.
Just days before Corey is to return home to visit, Kyra dies. Corey is devastated―and confused. The entire Lost community speaks in hushed tones about the town's lost daughter, saying her death was meant to be. And they push Corey away like she's a stranger.
Corey knows something is wrong. With every hour, her suspicion grows. Lost is keeping secrets―chilling secrets. But piecing together the truth about what happened to her best friend may prove as difficult as lighting the sky in an Alaskan winter...
This is a story about Corey dealing with her grief in the immediate aftermath of her best friend's death. Having moved away and gone to boarding school seven months earlier, this is her first trip back to the small town she still thinks of as "home". She wants to understand why Kyra killed herself, especially so close to Corey's originally planned trip back. When Corey arrives in Lost, the town is acting a bit strangely towards her and the more she learns the less happy she is with the answers she finds.
I don't want to spoil anything, but I think I saw this marketed as a thriller — and This Is Where It Ends certainly was one — but it isn't. I mean, there are weird and creepy aspects and there's a little bit of action, but I would class it as straight contemporary fiction more than anything else. I enjoyed it despite my usual preference for speculative fiction. It dealt pretty well with Kyra being bipolar, although the story was told from Corey's point of view and involved her and others coming to terms with (or not) Kyra's diagnosis. There were also queer characters and Corey herself is asexual, which is unusual and nice to see in a YA book.
The other big character in this book was the setting. This is a story that would not have worked — that could not have been told the same way — if it had not been set in a very small town. The inhospitable arctic setting of the town, which the in habitants have made their own, also contributed a lot to the overall vibe of the book. In fact, I actually really liked what the author did with a few scenes: writing them out as stage directions and dialogue to shift the impact and play with the reader's (and Corey's) perception of reality. It was an interesting device I haven't seen before. I thought it was strange at first, but it grew on me and made sense overall.
Before I Let Go isn't a happy novel, but it also wasn't as depressing as I expected it to be (but your perceptions may vary). It's main focus is on a particular set of ableist reactions to mental illness and it explores these well. It's a story of friendship and grief and a very isolated town. If that sounds like your kind of thing, or if you enjoy contemporary YA generally, then I highly recommend this book. I read it very quickly and will certainly be keeping an eye out for the author's future books.

Greyhound - Care and Grooming
The Greyhound is an agile, graceful, and determined dog, and this breed is best known for its racing abilities and is a racetrack dog. Friendly and gentle yet lively and fun, the Greyhound is a sweet and sensitive creature, and enjoys the peaceful life but also enjoys the companionship of his loved ones.
This said, the Greyhound is not a clingy dog and is independent, serious, and sensible. These docile dogs are the fastest of all the breeds, and will need to be given the space to run a few times each week. However, the exercise requirements for the breed are not overly excessive, and the Greyhound will enjoys spending time relaxing providing he gets the chance to run in a safe area on a regular basis.
The Greyhound gets along well with children, although he is best around older and more considerate children. He also tends to get along okay with other animals, although he can be a chaser when it comes to smaller dogs and other small animals - early socialization is recommended. With strangers the Greyhound can be quite reserved yet polite. The Greyhound is a dog that is best suited to a peaceful environment, and although effective training is important owners should be calm and positive with this breed and never demanding or harsh. One thing to watch out for with the Greyhound is his tendency to steal toys and food.
Greyhound Appearance
The Greyhound is a large, svelte, and very graceful dog, and has a long, thin muzzle and an intelligent expression. The coat of the Greyhound is fine and close fitting, and the coloring can vary and includes brindle, white, fawn, cream, blue, and black. The weight of the Greyhound is 55-65 pounds for females and 65-80 pounds for males. The height of these dogs is around 26-30 inches.
Greyhound Grooming
The grooming requirements for the Greyhound are low, which is ideal for those with time restrictions - an occasional brushing of the coat will keep it clean and sleek.
Greyhound Health Problems and Life Expectancy
The lifespan of the Greyhound is around 9-14 years, and there are a number of health problems that have been associated with this breed. Some of the health issues to look out for include thyroid problems, bloat, PRA, digestive problems, bleeding disorders, and allergies to drugs and chemicals. The parents of the Greyhound puppy should have CERF certificates.
Greyhound History
The Greyhound originates from Egypt, and his ancestry dates back to the days of Ancient Egypt. The breed was used to hunt large animals such as deer and wolves. These days, the Greyhound makes for a good family pet and is also used for racing.

Tiptoeing into the art of great BBQ is essentual to the longevity of getting support of your craft and enjoying it…. Seasoned Smokers…. (pun intended) BOOKMARK this to share with those who aren't seasoned of the craft. They'll thank you for it and before long you'll be enjoying their crafted Que without risk of food poisoning.
As I said, tiptoeing through the process is the advise that should be given ALL new smokers. The most, the element most smokers the world over fail to teach. I'm about to let you in on a secret that all championship pitmasters have to learn, even if they don't know that they know it, and some don't realize this!!!
The most, a concept that eludes many. Think of your first solo smoke, or an experiance of someone you know's first smoke. Likely your thoughts were it was good, but not great. The reason for this is many beginners try for the most… The most smoke, the most bark, the most flavor the most cook time, the most seasoned pit etc.
The most smoke…. If you're reading this you are well on your way to becoming king of the neighborhood maybe even world renouned Championship ring wearing Pitmaster. Heres part one, smoke…. The most smoke isn't needed for great BBQ. Smoke is an ingredient for BBQ but not running the pit as effectively as you should, which creates creasote, dirty smoke, and discolored meats. You're looking for the least side of smoke. Thin blue to clear smoke. Don't worry if its near invisable, its because you are running an efficiant cook, conserving fuel and not oversmoking the meat. Its likely your smoke session will last four+ hours, in which time you can get the sweet kiss of fruit wood smokes, or the great smoke from oaks and hickories, or the strong earthy but slightly sweet of mesquite and hundreds of other combinations. Remember you want to smell that smoke not see it puffing white clouds.
The most bark…. Bark is a combination of the spices you apply, the mythical smoke ring, the carmelization of the sugars in the rub as well as the smoke each must play a roll in the bark. You want the tender jerky like crusted meats with the kiss of the smoke the rub working in harmony with the meat. This is normally a mahogany color to a darker black to dark brown depending on the meat. Its not inches thick, it doesn't need to be that. When you break a piece off that butt you try it and know instantly that all your applied methods to the meat worked. You can clearly identify the smoke, the rubs sweet, savory, spicy or any combination coupled with the meats natural flavors. Bark takes moisture away from the meat in most cases because that jerky texture you enjoy is the absence of moisture, it can and should be still moist, but the deeper the bark the less moiosture is in the final product. Many factors are a part of hte bark, most commonly is the sugars in a rub that work with creating the bark, that also can quickly become a burnt sugar that is not desirable, this is the carmelization of the sugar. It must be done correctly so you dont burn it. Think about how caramel is made…. sugar, heated, for plyable caramel a fat like heavy cream or butters. But its a calculated attempt. You dont have to be a scientist but you need to put thought into the craft of Que.
The most flavor…. "well I injected it with pineapple juice and hot sauce and a whole bunch of phosphates because I saw it on Eating Foods And Watching the Method Channels." Call me a Phosphater but phosphates do not belong in your backyard. Thats another article… because phosphates are a near requirement in competion cooking for moisture retention and added flavor for that most likely one bite, maybe two from the judges at the tables- they have to guess what way their judges like BBQ and they can't add sauce or seasoning to any product. But guess what??? Not a single one of the guests you've invited over for a BBQ will enjoy a singular bite of the work of food art you've pulled off the pit! They'll likely add their sauce in the amount they want or won't add any sauce, may add cole slaw to their sandwich etc etc etc. You are feeding them something that they can eat bite after bite, that little heat builds, that sweet rib it gets sweeter as you eat it. Overdoing the flavors can mask other parts of the meats flavors or even whats served with it. The juice injections are just not needed, they can be easily overdone and likely lead to mushy meat because of the acids in the injection you chose. Start out with a simple flavor, building your BBQ toolbox as you go. Your family won't tire of your efforts if the product gets better and better each time you fire up the cooker. They'll look forward to the newest tool you'll empliment. When you want to step into the competition circuit, we'll have an article for your phosphates and the best kept secrets to competion BBQ. Trust the process.
The most time…. Long ago the methods of BBQ were extended cook times to break down the scraps and less desirable cuts of meats. It did take hours and hours to make an OX's tail edible. (Which are fantastic by the way) But now look at the pork but you have in the fridge, how about that big packer brisket great meaty cuts. Even Select cuts are easily edible without the 21.5 hours of low and slow shovelling coals in an open flame pit. Newsflash, your smoker probably has a lid, doesn't it? You don't lose heat the way you once did when they cooked over open pits. Your cooker likely leaks here or there but a quick Amazon search has a food safe Red RTV sealant on your doorstep in a day or two, or after a handful of cooks the small leaks on the cook chamber self seal with seasoning of the cooker. Hours are required but smoking something is not a two days run, Briskets even the large 15 pounders are finished in less than that long time line you heard on the TV. Its efficiancy in burning the fuels, its keeping the lid closed, trusting the process and monitoring the process- be it windows on the pit or thermometers, learning something every cook. You hear "well I dont use thermometers I just know when its done. You too will get to this level of confidence but why not Shave YEARS off that process by learning the craft by watching your process?
Learning the craft of Que…..Shaving years off of a craft that is this old is worth that $50 thermometer you bought, after all its Wifi enabled and grafts your cook from cook chamber temperature to the rise stall and eventual finished product. This is a process to learn, go back to yor grade school days, get an old fashioned notebook and record your cooks, times, temps, flavor profiles, woods used, etc. Then build off the next cook and build that BBQ toolbox. This isn't a most BBQ wins, its a balance of flavors wins.
In closing, or if you just scrolled to the end to see the payoff without the process, here it is. The most of any component of BBQ will make for less than desirable BBQ. Your friends and family will be more apt to continue tasting the craft as you hone it calculatedly. You don't need The Most. Trust the process of building a BBQ tool Box, learn to use available tried and tested rubs, then go read through our rub building series that is coming soon in full to the site one level at a time.

Greetings Kin,
Tone 9 offers the Intention of Patience to see the bigger picture. The completion of cycles is all important to 9. Tone 9 warns that there could be suffering if we fail to look deeper into the Power and Light we were given.
The Road/EB (Human) trecena is bringing new Power to the Road of our Destiny by elevating our Faith in our Power of Spirit and the ability to Discern our Divine Direction. We are marking an important milestone on our Spiritual Journey. The Cherokee Day Sign the Rattlesnake Tooth, the Day Sign of Spiritual Medicine, defines this cycle as a Healing that will leave a mark and change the way we move forward and the new choices we will make.
8 Storm/CAUAC began a Transformation through a Renewal and Regeneration of Power that flows from Above to Below. Elevating our Belief of the unbridled power that is shared with Human, our Spirits were blessed with a new sense of Freedom and Power. Our minds can be changed to see that a Power greater than all the suffering in the world can find us wherever we are. CAUAC was capable to change the landscape of our lives, by sweeping away the Fear of an Illusion.
Completing the 5th Uinal: Sun/AHAU is the last Daykeeper in the rotation of the 20 Day Signs. AHAU's position is reflected as zero, a symbol of the Omega, the Last, the Whole, and the All in One. 9 Sun/AHAU represents the completion of drawing everything together that we need to make the Journey to our Divine Destiny. The Road/EB trecena promised a Healing through the Truth of the Power and Authority that Human was given to hold and use for a Divine Purpose.
Our greatest fear is powerlessness, the fear that we have little influence over the circumstances of our Lives. Powerful voices tell us that a dream of Harmony is impossible, that danger lies right outside our front door, and the foundation we stand on is crumbling. Most of all, we've been told we can't trust one another, and if we fail to acknowledge it, then We are just as much the "Danger to Society."
Imagine what our future would bring, if we chose to believe it. Though the world may make it easier to believe, there would be no future for us at all if this was the foundation for a direction in life. It's a Lie with no meaning and purpose that would benefit ANYONE to believe. It amounts to an illusion of total destruction of ALL our dreams and any Happiness we could have together. If we believed it, there would be no reason to Dream at all.
Our Consciousness of the Power we hold is only a part of the solution. 9 Sun/AHAU is the Supreme Lord of All. As an archetype, AHAU represents the Master of every Craft and the Hero who serves as the Spiritual Warrior for Humanity.
AHAU in the 9th Tone completes two things. First, AHAU completes the 5th Uinal of Spiritual Empowerment. We were Renewed and Regenerated by the Power of CAUAC. We have all the resources of power we need. Second, 9 Sun/AHAU offers a Revelation, generating the Will and the Way to Use it.
We might think of Sun/AHAU's message as, "Faith without works is dead." It's not enough to know we hold the Power. We have to wield it. Sun can illuminate the Power we hold so we can see what we Believe. If we Believe in our Power, then how will it change the way we live, the way we face new obstacles, and the way we would share the Light of this Illumination?
Sun/AHAU is capable to shine the brightest light that reveals everything in the shadows, as well as what was hidden in plain sight. "We have nothing to Fear, but Fear itself," and Fear is ALWAYS an illusion. We should Know that now by a Transformation of Empowerment.
The path to our Divine Destiny requires us to walk in Faith and Belief of what we now Know is True. This means that every illusion must be confronted from a position of Power and Authority. This has never been so important as we face the biggest illusion of all – that Human has no Spirit, that we are heartless, that we are happier inflicting injustice on one another than we are extending Love and Forgiveness.
As Spiritual Warriors, we would defy the illusion that we need to be afraid of each other. When we see the Magnitude of this False Truth, there's no way we could believe it, other than to believe that we, ourselves, are devoid of any Conscious. We KNOW this isn't True. It speaks to us every day.
We would continue to blaze a trail of Love. We would call out the false truth that the whole world is falling apart. We'd do it all in the name of Love, declaring nothing could ever shake the foundation of the Greatest Power in the World. We would defy the logic that Mother Earth is not worthy of our Love and Reciprocity. We would proclaim the Truth that she holds the Power to Heal Hearts around the world, through her beauty alone. Our effort to preserve it is Divine.
Sun/AHAU is the Omega, the All in One. AHAU asks us to uphold the Integrity and the Divinity of all of Humanity. We can stand on the Promises of the Creator that we can always find Love and Power, residing under the Wing of the Almighty. The 91st Psalm was offered to me as a 30 day meditation to Know this Almighty protection. Among the many promises it includes is that we will be protected from the dangers by day and the dangers by night. We are not only protected from the clear and present dangers, but also from dangers we aren't aware of. Residing in Right Relationship with the Creator, Acknowledging the Greater Power held Above, nothing can stand in the way of Divine Justice.
It's hard to see the Darkness in the world and in each other, a Darkness that only appears to be growing from one day to the next. Like Don Quixote, if we charge forward to strike it down, we're only waving our sword at an illusion, Windmills in our mind. The battle of a Spiritual Warrior is the tearing down of strongholds. We can conquer the Fear by seeing it for the Truth of what it is – an illusion of no substance or power. We can ignore the voices that tell us what we are incapable to do, and continue forward by the Power of our Belief.
It may seem like a Big Battle, but in truth, all these voices that tell us "we can't" are the last ditch efforts of the Darkness that is loosing its grip… willing to go to any lengths to maintain its illusion of Power.
Sun/AHAU can give us the Strength of Heart to be a Hero, to defy the odds as they are seen by the world, and go with the Greater Odds that we can't lose in a Divine Intention that serves the Harmony and Happiness of the Whole of Humanity. There is no Higher Aspiration and nothing Greater that the Creator intended for us to accomplish. Just as a Hero jumps in to save another at the risk of its own survival, the impossible is made possible, believing in a Power that would uphold the Divinity of the Purpose.
Sun/AHAU has brought new Light to an experience I had in the Deer/MANIK trecena. We were being inspired to serve as the Hand of God. My first understanding was a mission to save the world with a Personal Gift of Love. I remember the morning driving to work when a man in the intersection was waving his arms, yelling and threatening people in cars. I saw it as a direct call to me. I remember thinking, what harm should I be willing to face to carry out this mission? I tracked him down at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Face to face, I asked if it was him I saw in the intersection. He didn't speak. I said it looked like he was having a bad day. I said I thought if I could buy his lunch, maybe his day would be better. Still nothing said, but he accepted my small gift. I continued on to buy my own lunch. As I was leaving he turned and our eyes were connected in a softened glance. It was an unspoken exchange that we had both Seen each other.
I thought that the whole lesson was a test to see if I was willing to serve MANIK's mission. Now I know the greater lesson. There is nothing to fear in one another. It's an illusion. Love always gives us the Power to have a Right Relationship with another Human Being. As Human, we are ALL in need of this same Love and Recognition of Light, and changed when we receive it. In a moment's glance, this "dangerous one" gave as much love back to me, as I had tried to gave to him.
One of my lessons in Humility is that it's Good to Love our Self for what we are becoming, surrendered into Divine Hands. We don't claim ownership when we were made by the All in One. We do as much good in any way we add Light to the world. In the Home of our own Spirit we hold the Authority of the Experience. CAUAC gave us a Charge of Divine Light. It's okay to imagine we are Shining.
The Cherokee Day Sign, the Flower, symbolizes the face of the Flower that follows the Sun. From the Sun, the Flower draws the Light of Life, Happiness, and the Nourishment to Grow. Sun/AHAU is the Fire of the Will To Be… the Chalice of Infinite Power that is the very Cauldron of Creation.
The Sun/AHAU represents the Pinnacle of our Power, completed as Tone 9. Number 9 is the square of 3 x 3, the Divine Trinity raised to its own Power.
Though others may fall around us, we only have to keep our eyes trained on the Light with "Holy, Holy, Holy" as the song we sing from our Heart. No matter what the challenges, we will always be given the Power, Courage, and Will to Rise and Shine again.
Sun/AHAU represents the Whole of all the Ascended Masters. This is a day to recognize the strongholds they pulled down for us, and the scars they bore as Spiritual Warriors on our behalf so that we could clearly see the Hope in our Future.
The Sun is the abode of the Great Spirit, the way station that relays messages and energy from the stars in the galaxy. Speaking the Living Language of Light, Sun shares the Wisdom of the Ancestors to ignite the Consciousness of a new generation of Being. Sun is a sign of great courage in the effort to create Abundance.
To all my relations, may we put on the full armor of God, identifying our Self as a Child of God and an Agent of Divine Authority, empowered by Humility and the Blessing of Forgiveness. May we believe in our own Faith, and our ability to Discern the Divine Way. May we Believe in the Power of knowing the the Truth of a Divine Source of Power that works on our Behalf, and the Power of our own Integrity when we do what we Know is Right… Loving, Forgiving, and Believing in our Own Life, for each other. May we Claim Peace as we look for the Light in one another. May we engage the war down on our knees in Humility of the Greatest Love in the world, the Miracle Power of a Divine Creator that shared the Power of Miracles with us. May the Creator complete in us, all the Wisdom and Power we need to win a war on the Truth of the Love we hold within. May AHAU shine the Light for us to see that the war has already been won. May we claim this Supreme Light as our future and the Divine Destiny that will be shared by our children, and Claim it with All our Heart.
in lak'ech, I am another you
Debra, Jaguar Woman, 9 Eagle / MEN
PS. At Sunset, 8 CAUAC, my Love is sent around to you on the Sun.
I'm sharing a the "21-Days of Gratitude" as a perpetual Personal Ceremony through the next journey to 8 Monkey/CHUEN Maya New Year. The "21 days" begin and end on Jaguar/IX.
21-Days of Gratitude: Day 7
I'm grateful that every Fears that Love will or can not find a way are the biggest illusions of all.
Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide for daily aspects and insight on the Uinal and Portal Days of the Road/EB trecena.
9 Sun/AHAU (Cherokee, Flower/GUN'TSI EK)
Galactic Tone 9: Patience. The energy of Nine is one of the getting a better perspective of the bigger picture. With the energy of Nine plans or patterns begin to come to completion. Nine requires patience and perseverance that is found in the bigger picture, otherwise there is great suffering from the lack of insight. The completion of cycles of action is all-important to Nine.
Sun/AHAU: Day of the ancestors and connection to their guidance. The divine face of the sun – lord, musician, singer, dancer, and marksman. Suns are artistic, heroic athletes, visionaries with wise judgment who lead and defend the people. So much is expected from themselves and by other people that unfulfilled expectations are a certainty. An accumulation of these disappointments may lead Sun to evade responsibilities, not accept corrections and even build resentment and disdain towards others. Suns should simplify their lives to be able to rise and shine with unconditional love once again.
Cherokee, Flower/GUN'TSI EK: Symbol is the Sun, place of abode of Great Spirit. The Sun creates, nurtures, and is the super communicator, the way station that relays messages and energy from other stars in the galaxy; provides energy for channeling information from the Ancestors; speaking the Living Language of Light, which ignites the consciousness in others. Gold is the color of courage and opportunity of wealth. Creative arts, master craftsman expressing divinity and wisdom through their creations. The face of the flower follows the Sun gathering the fire of creativity, illuminating harmony and balance, resonating peace and continuity within the human spirit. This is the Sign of the Chalice of the Infinite, Caldron of Creation.
