The Apparitions at
La Salette Apparition - September 1846
A globe of light opened to reveal a resplendent woman seated on a stone with her head in her hands. The children later described her as very tall and beautiful, wearing a long, white, pearl studded, sleeved dress, and a white shawl, with some sort of tiara or crown on her head. Hanging from her neck was a large crucifix adorned with a small hammer and pincers, with a brilliantly shining figure of Christ on it. The whole effect was as if she was made of light.
Speaking tearfully she told them that unless people repented she would be forced to let go the arm of her son because it had become so heavy. Mary went on to complain that she had to pray ceaselessly to her son for them, but the people still worked on Sundays and blasphemed. She also spoke of coming punishments for these sins, including crop blights and famine. She confided a secret to each of the children, which they were not to divulge, although eventually these secrets were made known to Pope Pius IX
Finally she asked the children to spread her message before disappearing. When the children returned home they told their story, an account of which was taken down in writing the next day. They faced much opposition in making known Mary's message, but they maintained their story with resolution. The local Bishop too faced quite a degree of opposition in investigating the apparition, and it was only after four years, and having set up two commissions of enquiry, that Mgr de Bruillard, as bishop of Grenoble, approved of devotion to Our Lady of Salette, in the following terms.
"We declare that the apparition of the Blessed Virgin to two shepherds, on September 19, 1846, on a mountain in the Alps in the parish of La Salette, bears in itself all the marks of truth and that the faithful are justified in believing without question in its truth. And so, to mark our lively gratitude to God and the glorious Virgin Mary, we authorise the cult of Our Lady of La Salette."

I haven't really written for a long while. and for days now I have been wanting to write about this...and then in my last post I saw the last commenter comment about a similar dynamic when people ask how you are. So I am going to let it out...
It makes me crazy'(er) that I can never be me with anyone. When my sisters or stepmom, or dad call they sometimes ask how am. Sometimes they avoid the topic altogether. My usual response is either, "I'm okay", or "I'm not feeling so great". If I say the latter the topic changes so fast to something else that it is obvious the question was just a polite conversation opener.
My sisters and family are good, loving people...It must be the chronicity of my illness, the awful person it makes me become, and the neediness of myself that has them pull away from me so much.
A couple times I have tried to express how I need help because x, y, z is happening; i.e. I have been honest about how depressed I feel. The topic changes, or the person tries to get off the phone as fast as possible...and the stops calling or e-mailing completely to protect themselves.
What I most often want to write when they ask how I am , and I am unwell, is: " I am feeling really scared and depressed. I cannot stop thinking about suicide. The noise in my head, telling me to kill myself, telling why it is the best thing, planning how to do it, etc., won't stop. I feel like nobody loves "me".
They love the "me" who laughs and is funny and upbeat...that is part of me, but often that part of me comes out when I am trying to help others feel okay around me, or if I am trying to not act as crazy as I feel. When I want to be cared for, or loved, I try really hard to suppress, or minimize all the things about me that others either cannot handle, or understand, or will take as proof that for their well-being, they should get me out of their lives...NOW.
I understand why this happens. It would be hard to have a sister/daughter like me. I understand, but it hurts me so much that my family doesn't try to help me, or somehow let me know I can call them if I need help. I feel so intensely alone.
Even with my pdoc I am afraid if I tell him what I really feel he will think I am overstating, or that I am crazier than I am. I often leave his office thinking God I must drive him crazy. I try to be/say/express less suicidal thoughts/ideas/plans than I really have, or am, or really feel. I tell him I have the thoughts, but I don't think I have been able to express their relentlessness inside my brain; the way, over, and over and over, and over, the thoughts speed through my head, telling me to:
"...wrap a rope around my neck, wrap a rope around my neck, do it, do it, do it, do it do it...shoot yourself, kill yourself, hire someone to kill you, no one loves you, you are alone, completely alone, lonely, this depression just keeps getting worse, and the worse it gets the more people move away from you..."
"...your family doesn't want you anymore, they only want you when you are okay, they don't want to hear about how you need help, they want you to just go away. So my brain says to me, over and over, "...do it, do it, do it, hang yourself, wrap a rope around your neck, etc., etc." All the while, that Violent Femmes Song, "Why Can't I Get Just One Kiss?" is playing rapidly. obssessively, over and over inside my brain...like I can't get away from the song, or the thoughts.
I can't tell anyone these things. I even don't want to write them here, because all I want is to get them out of my head. I am venting; trying to help myself find some relief.
So I answer, "fine, been feeling a bit down, but that's okay"...WTF!!! "...that's okay"?."...a bit down"???? This will never end...end it.

Every night millions of people throughout the U.S. and the world suffer with some type of sleep disorder. It may be difficulty falling asleep, waking up in the middle of night with the inability to resume sleeping, restless sleep in general, or a combination of these difficulties.
Sleep deprivation can spiral out of a control, lasting for months or years while wreaking havoc on a person's overall well-being. It doesn't have to be that way.
Author Rich Nilsen has written a new book, Sleep Great for Life, which offers 14 critical steps for proper sleep hygiene, before laying the foundation for the heart and soul of the book: the easy-to-apply Sleep Great method. The book had previously only been available in e-book formats but is now available in paperback for the first time.
"I suffered with debilitating insomnia and it was wrecking my life," explained Nilsen. "It pains me to see anyone else suffering with a sleep disorder because I know how difficult it can be, how it can affect one's personal and work life, and the depression it can cause. Insomnia is a vastly underrated health problem."
Sleep surveys indicate that fifty-eight percent of adults in the U.S. experience symptoms of insomnia a few nights a week or more. The impact of poor sleep results in numerous health and personal issues, including depression, increased blood pressure, irritability, difficulty concentrating, lack of sexual desire, just to name a few.
One of the goals of the Sleep Great method is to teach readers that they do not have to rely on sleeping pills to get a good night's sleep on a regular basis.
"Despite what the pharmaceutical companies would have you believe, the truth is that you can't buy a good night's sleep," explained Nilsen."The Sleep Great method works extremely well, without the need of any drugs, and readers can begin to apply the concepts the first day they dive into the book."
Nilsen empowers readers to take back their nights and sleep time by teaching them:
- To fix any of the missing 14 sleep hygiene steps in their life
- How to get off all prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids
- To spot stress factors that bring about insomnia
- To understand how to lay a proper sleep foundation for life
- How to properly attack their sleep issue and overcome it once and for all
"I read this book a while back, but wanted to give it a chance to see how well it really worked before reviewing. As a family man that has a full-time job and freelances from home nightly, good sleep has always been an issue. I would go to bed exhausted from the day, but so wired I couldn't keep my eyes shut. These techniques to achieve a restful night's sleep really delivered! The concepts and plans are presented clearly without a lot of unnecessary filler making it a quick read. Also, knowing that the author had gone through some of my same sleep issues made it easy to relate with. Great book for a great night's sleep." — Donald Shofner, Lexington KY
About the Book
Sleep Great for Life is a five-star rated Kindle book on Amazon.com. The book is now available in print for the first time from publisher All Star Press – Books that Change Lives. It is available in print and e-book wherever books are sold, including on the publisher's website at allstarpress.com. E-book available here for instant download.

UT2004 Mods & More Steampunk Goodness!
UT2004 Mods today seem to be getting scarce and those that are still in progress are slowly dying w/o any updates or news. But there are a number of UT2004 Mods that are still quite fun to play and bring life to what some say is a dying breed of gaming. In my opinion, they are wrong, BuF for example is on the main community hubs for UT Gamers on a global scale for getting together and conversing and discussing things game related to Unreal technology and some other gen interests. Recruitment for development teams for mods are still going strong at this community hub as well. They also share ideas and possible new game play modes too.
I like UT2004 for the sheer amount of player character models there are out there for it. I also like certain game types as well. Like UT-Halo, and The XMP mod and Jailbreak and Double domination and DM/TDM Freeze tag with the sniper rifles. Hollow moon Beta Edition Ver 3 for UT2004 is a more recent mod that cam out about 4 months ago.
This I thought was going to be some cheesy piece of crud. I was -=wrong=-, and my apologies to the development team who took the time and effort to not only finish their beta? But to release 2 improved versions as they had refined and worked out bugs that were discovered as the community helped to test this mod out.
I personally love the Helmet HUD they created on this which was very cool and gives the players the off planet feel. The cool feature I thought was also was the moon tanker you can drive to the moon station project. That was just plain fun. I give it 4 out of 5 stars on replay value and overall fun. I do however which to discuss now a sad disappointment on a project I was hoping was going to just be finished and released and "ding fries are done" and that's it? We don't even get the fries at this point. I speak of The Unreal Championship mod Project which has been in development for quite some time.
I had spoken with MonOlympus the team's 3 way man 1 leader 2 part time Coder 3 Part Time modeler, after discuss it with him at length before leaving for work myself? I felt as though there just wasn't much love left for the project due to the lack of interest and dedication from his team over the past year. I can understand it because I tracked the UC mod project myself for quite awhile and had two of their members on my staff at one point at time as well. Overall I was as I've stated quite sad on the end results of what has happened with this project and that MonOlympus wishes to hand the project over to someone who could maybe polish and finish this project off as long as the stimulation that once it is completed that not only that the team that finishes this project get credit for it?
For those old members that did contribute to the assets of the game? Maps, player characters, vehicles and related items also get full credit as well in the readmes and in game credits as well. All I can do as well as everyone else that followed this project? Is hope for someone to take up the mantle that is UC2004 and bring forth the thunder and the power of the maelstrom that is Unreal Championship to the UT2004 Family? The article is open for discussion, and with that the floor ir now open.
I found two excellent SteamPunk techno techs on youtube today. I'll share with you what I found, first a very cool look pair of googles for the steampunk adventurer/decker for cyberdiving. Which was created by The remarkable LostMachine tech guru. These would be quite fun during Halloween or Any Sci Fi / Anime / Fantasy convention cosplaying event.
I also found for the steampunk technophile mp3 debutaunte, the steampunk headphones. Giving your Work at home or just a basic in house office that turn of the century feel of nostalgia. This particular one was built and created by GarageMoneky-san of Youtube. On which to my Tophat gets tipped to.

Oregon retains capital punishment mostly as an exorbitantly expensive legal fiction.[1] In practice, as U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy recently noted, the State falls on the abolitionist "side of the ledger" because "Oregon has suspended the death penalty and executed only two individuals in the past 40 years." More revealing still: Over the past 10 years, Oregon juries have imposed an average of just one death sentence per year, which translates into less than 1.25% of homicides, a rate far lower than that which prevailed nationally in 1972 when U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron White concluded that the infrequent use of the death penalty meant that the punishment had "cease[ed] to be a credible deterrent or measurably to contribute to any other end of punishment in the criminal justice system." By all functional measures, Oregonians have abandoned the death penalty.
And yet, 35 condemned inmates remain on Oregon's death row.[2] What do we know about those people, and about the quality of justice that resulted in their death sentences? This report examines the cases of the condemned men and women in Oregon to see how they ended up there, and what patterns, if any, emerged. We examined legal pleadings and opinions, trial testimony, and media reports, and consulted with several legal experts in Oregon who are familiar with the individuals on death row.
Here's what we found: In Oregon, two-thirds of death row inmates possess signs of serious mental illness or intellectual impairment, endured devastatingly severe childhood trauma, or were not old enough to legally purchase alcohol at the time the offense occurred. The pervasiveness of these crippling impairments among Oregon's death row population is important because though all murders are gruesome and deserving of serious sanction, the Constitution limits the death penalty to the most heinous murders; and even then only when the person who commits the crime is someone who appears to be more culpable than the typically developing adult. So, for example, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that regardless of the severity of the crime, imposition of the death penalty upon a juvenile or an intellectually disabled person, both classes of individuals who suffer from impaired mental and emotional capacity relative to typically developed adults, would be so disproportionate as to violate his or her "inherent dignity as a human being."
Earlier this year, for example, a Multnomah County (Portland) judge vacated the death sentence of a man with a 61 IQ score, which is in the intellectually disabled range. For context, this score is in the lowest 2% of the population. In post-conviction proceedings, the trial court subsequently examined school records that revealed that he "couldn't control his behavior," "stuttered," and "was labeled as educable mentally retarded" and placed in special education classes. He also "was teased in school," "suffered a history of abuse and beating around his head as a child," and appears to have "suffered brain damage during the developmental years" that likely "lower[ed] his capacity to understanding information, communicate, learn from his mistakes and experiences, engage in logical reasoning, control impulses, and understand the reactions of others." He is now awaiting resentencing.
Another example: In 1988, in Deschutes County, prosecutors secured a death sentence against a boy who was just one month past his eighteenth birthday and who appears to have been high on meth at the time of the crime. According to The Oregonian, the teen's father was "a violent, abusive alcoholic and — in the words of former Deschutes County prosecutor Jon Springer — an absolute monster."[3] One expert described the father as "sexually perverse toward virtually every female who came into the household," including his own daughter and another child who lived with the family who he began to openly have sex with in the family house from the time she was 13 years old and in the 8th grade.[4] He also physically abused the children, who developed a ritual of yelling "Bonzai" while sustaining abuse by their father, which allowed the other siblings to come to the room to try to de-escalate the situation. Ultimately, the father would assign his teenaged son to plan a burglary of a woman whom he had met at a flea market, an activity that the family appeared to engage in with regularity. When that burglary failed, the teen and his friends ultimately arrived at the teen's ex-girlfriend's house on the same evening, where they robbed and killed two members of her family.
Even if one stipulates that the homicides described above meet the threshold of being among the most aggravated homicides, it is difficult to understand how an abused, brain damaged man with an IQ score in the low 60s is more culpable than the typical intellectually disabled person who could never receive a death sentence, or how an abused, addicted 18-year-old meets the independent moral culpability threshold when a typical 17-year-old is categorically unable to meet that extremely high bar.
Age at the Time of the Offense
In 2005, when the U.S. Supreme Court banned the death penalty for those under the age of 18 at the time of the crime (Roper v. Simmons), the Court explained that "[r]etribution is not proportional if the law's most severe penalty is imposed on one whose culpability or blameworthiness is diminished, to a substantial degree, by reason of youth and immaturity." This is so because youth tend to be less morally culpable because they are more impulsive, less emotionally mature, and more susceptible to external pressures than adults.
Importantly, the Simmons Court noted that these "qualities that distinguish juveniles from adults do not disappear when an individual turns 18." Indeed, there is now consensus in the scientific community that "the brain isn't fully mature at 16, when we are allowed to drive, or at 18, when we are allowed to vote, or at 21, when we are allowed to drink, but closer to 25, when we are allowed to rent a car."
In Oregon, six out of 35 prisoners (17%) on death row were under the age of 21 at the time of their crimes (not old enough to purchase alcohol); nine (26%) were under the age of 25 (not old enough to rent a car).
Intellectual Impairment and Brain Damage
In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that the death penalty is unconstitutional for individuals with intellectual disability (Atkins v. Virginia) because of their "diminished capacities to understand and process information, to communicate, to abstract from mistakes and learn from experience, to engage in logical reasoning, to control impulses, and to understand the reactions of others." These same deficits also are hallmark attributes of borderline intellectual functioning, traumatic brain injury, and fetal alcohol syndrome.
Our research indicates that approximately one-quarter of individuals on Oregon's death row may have some form of intellectual disability or brain damage. Nine of the 35 (26%) presented evidence of significantly impaired cognitive functioning as evidenced by low IQ scores, frontal lobe damage, and fetal alcohol syndrome.
Severe Mental Illness
In a report released earlier this month on Severe Mental Illness and the Death Penalty, the American Bar Association concluded that capital punishment "does not serve any effective or appropriate purpose when it is applied to individuals with severe mental illness." Like juveniles and people with intellectual disabilities, persons with mental illnesses have conditions that disrupt a person's thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others, and daily functioning.[5]
Approximately one out of every four individuals on Oregon's death row exhibits symptoms of mental illness, or has a confirmed diagnosis. Some exhibited signs of psychotic disorders with delusions and hallucinations at the time of the crime, one had been in a state run treatment program for individuals with mental illness, and another had signs of post-traumatic stress disorder. Furthermore, the vast majority of the individuals exhibiting signs of mental illness, also presented evidence of secondary impairments such as intellectual disability, extreme childhood trauma, and youthfulness.
One death row inmate, sentenced to death in 2011, has a psychotic disorder, suffers from partial fetal alcohol syndrome, visible defects in his corpus callosum, a low IQ, and adaptive functioning equivalent to that of a seven-and-a-half-year old child. In December 2015, the Oregon Supreme Court overturned the death sentence and ordered a new hearing to determine whether he is intellectually disabled. Moreover, the man's co-defendant, who was the mastermind behind the murder, was a childhood friend and exerted pressure on him to participate; his co-defendant corroborated that account. Nonetheless, the co-defendant received a life sentence.
The Impact of Trauma
An April 2015 report titled Understanding the Effects of Maltreatment on Brain Development, which was released by the three U.S. government agencies that form the Child Welfare Information Gateway, noted, "There is now scientific evidence of altered brain functioning as a result of early abuse and neglect." Some of these impacts include: a persistent fear response, hyperarousal, diminished executive functioning, delayed developmental milestones, and complicated social interactions. The report went on to state:
"The effects of maltreatment can continue to influence brain development and activity into adolescence and adulthood. These effects may be caused by the cumulative effects of abuse or neglect throughout their lives or by maltreatment newly experienced as an adolescent."
This nascent research on severe childhood trauma and brain development calls into question whether individuals who have endured extreme trauma can truly be among the most culpable offenders for whom the death penalty is reserved.
Yet, approximately one-third of Oregon's death row prisoners suffered some form of severe childhood or emotional trauma. One individual was born in prison, another suffered childhood sexual abuse, and several of the individuals were in and out of the foster care system. In many cases, this trauma led to, or was compounded by, other disabilities, such as fetal alcohol syndrome.
The Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment restricts the use of capital punishment to the least mitigated offenders who commit the most aggravated homicides. Regardless of the severity of the homicide, which this report does not purport to cover, the requirement that the death penalty be limited to those with the most marked moral culpability is surely not being met in Oregon. Our review of Oregon's death row population shows that a substantial number of the condemned individuals suffer from impairments such as severe mental illness, borderline intellectual functioning, or extreme childhood trauma, or are young adults whose brains have not fully finished developing. Approximately one third of those individuals endure two or more of these conditions. These conditions, like juvenile status and intellectual disability, mean that the inmate's "culpability or blameworthiness is diminished, to a substantial degree." Indeed, many of these individuals may be equally–if not more–impaired than those the Court has categorically barred from execution. These findings raise a legitimate question as to whether Oregon's capital punishment scheme is capable of limiting application of the death penalty to the most culpable offenders.
Additional Sources/Footnotes
- A recently released study by researchers at Lewis & Clark School of Law and Seattle University revealed that Oregonians have spent well over $140 million ($2.3 million per case, not including prosecution costs, x 61 cases) in pursuit of death sentences that, if history is any indication, may never be carried out. The results of the study prompted several editorial boards to question the practicality of the death penalty, and some have even called on Governor Brown to take a leading role on the issue.
- At least six of these individuals have had their death sentences overturned, however they remain on death row pending resentencing.

Essential nutrient
An essential nutrient is a nutrient required for normal body functioning that cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained from a dietary source. Some categories of essential nutrient include vitamins, dietary minerals, essential fatty acids, and essential amino acids.
Different species have very different essential nutrients. Most essential nutrients are substances that are metabolically necessary but cannot be synthesized by the organism. Dietary minerals, for example, cannot be synthesized in biological systems, so (for example) a human must obtain the iron they need to build hemoglobin from their diet. Of course, this iron is recycled, but some is inevitably lost, for example during menstruation.
All essential nutrients are toxic in large doses (see hypervitaminosis or the nutrient pages themselves below). Some can be taken in amounts larger than required in a typical diet, with no apparent ill effects. Linus Pauling said of vitamin B3, (either niacin or niacinamide), "What astonished me was the very low toxicity of a substance that has such very great physiological power. A little pinch, 5 mg, every day, is enough to keep a person from dying of pellagra, but it is so lacking in toxicity that ten thousand times as much can [sometimes] be taken without harm." [1] A similar statement can be made about vitamin C and some other vitamins.
List of essential nutrients
- Essential fatty acids:
- Linolenic acid (the shortest chain omega-3 fatty acid)
- Linoleic acid (the shortest chain omega-6 fatty acid)
- Essential amino acids necessary for all humans:
- Essential amino acids necessary for human children and not adults:
- Vitamins:
- Biotin (vitamin B7, vitamin H)
- Choline (vitamin Bp)
- Folate (folic acid, vitamin B9, vitamin M)
- Niacin (vitamin B3, vitamin P, vitamin PP)
- Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5)
- Riboflavin (vitamin B2, vitamin G)
- Thiamine (vitamin B1)
- Vitamin A (retinol)
- Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, or pyridoxal)
- Vitamin B12 (cobalamin)
- Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
- Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol, Ergocalciferol, Calcitriol)
- Vitamin E (tocopherol)
- Vitamin K (naphthoquinoids)
- Dietary minerals: Biochemical studies reported in 2006 indicate that the following elements (aside from H, C, N, and O) are required for human health:[2]
The body's requirements vary widely. At one extreme a 70 kg human contains 1.0 kg of calcium but only 3 mg of cobalt or 0.5 mg of bismuth.[8]
Elements with speculated role in human health
Many elements have been implicated at various times to have a role in human health. For none of these elements has the specific protein or complex been identified:
- Bismuth (Bi) (suspect)
- Boron (B)
- Bromine (Br)
- Chromium (Cr)[9]
- Fluorine (F) (necessity unknown in humans)
- Germanium (Ge)[dubious ]
- Rubidium (Rb) (suspect)
- Nickel (Ni)[9] common in unicellular organisms
- Silicon (Si)[9]
- Strontium (Sr) (suspect)
- Tellurium (Te) (suspect)
- Tin (Sn)[9] (may depend on definition of essential -- see reference)
- Titanium (Ti) (suspect)
- Tungsten (W) (some organisms use tungsten rather than molybdenum)

This is not one of those stories of an entrepreneur who came up with their multi-million-dollar idea over a couple beers with friends. I have always had more than a dollar to my name and I have yet to create a corporate empire. I am still working on earning my feel good moment.
My story was forged through more than a decade of paying my dues, and that Ah HA moment, hit me like slap in the face! Although it may not be exciting, my story is unique and it is what separates Press Media Communications from everyone else

This makes us the FIRST hospital in Malaysia to receive the distinguished recognition, after passing all 152 health promotion indicators.
Only 44 hospitals around the world have participated in this the global research, and PAH is one of them. The goal of this research is to determine if hospital that incorporates health promotion services would deliver better patient health outcome.
Our achievement has placed Malaysia as one of 10 countries in the world to collaborate with WHO in this ground breaking research.
The recognition by WHO only validates PAH as one of the leaders in health promotion in Malaysia—something which PAH has always believed in and practiced for the past 90 years since the establishment of the hospital.

Bournemouth is one of our favourite spots to visit along the south coast. It's the perfect distance from our house on the Surrey/Sussex/Hampshire borders; far enough away to really feel like a little holiday, but close enough for the car journey to be bearable with two small passengers!
There are plenty of reasons why we love it so much, the main one of course being the beach - or the seven miles of award winning beaches, to be more precise. I used to come here as a child and love taking my own kiddos back to the spots I visited with my parents and siblings thirty years ago. It's a real traditional British seaside town, complete with Victorian pier, amusement arcades, mini golf, ice creams and deck chairs for hire in the summer, and the beach is one of the safest and cleanest in the UK. There are also some really great independent (and child friendly!) restaurants in town.
The coastline is utterly beautiful. All sandy beaches and cliffs and views of the Purbeck Hills and the Isle of Wight and, to conserve energy, you can enjoy them all from the Land Train which travels along the promenade and is always a massive hit with children.
There is a Travelodge right on the seafront which makes the perfect base for a seaside holiday, or to explore the local area. As National Trust members, there are loads of other places nearby that we love to visit. Kingston Lacy, the wonderful stately home, and the dramatic ruins of Corfe Castle are two particular favourites, and there are plenty of walks to be done on other beaches and in areas of outstanding natural beauty. Plus you can jump on a ferry from a little further along the coast and visit the Isle of Wight for the day which is a brilliant adventure in itself!
Just writing this post is making me crave a little excursion with the girls. I think I might book up a couple of nights away for us all before the end of the year!
This is a collaborative post.

If you're considering a network marketing business opportunity and the thought of joining the Utility Warehouse as a distributor to work from home appeals to you, one thing you may be considering is what the customer service is like, did you know Utility Warehouse distributors can offer a better service also.
The Utility Warehouse has had many independent accolades and awards, but if you're like me, stories can make everything more real, and this one really struck a chord with me, written by a new distributor called Mark:
"Feel good story of the day…I recently introduced my third customer, Marco who has been a dear friend for many years now and in fact recently paid for a weekend back in my native London, when I was on half-pay due to injury which meant that I couldn't raise the coffers for an old pals get together.
Anyway, today I noticed that Marco needed to get his code to allow him to transfer his mobile number to Utility Warehouse – and when I called him he seemed a bit agitated. He had misunderstood something he had read about energy pricing, though I couldn't quite get to the bottom of what, and I was upset that he may be upset with me.
I rang Customer Services and I actually found it difficult to speak properly as I was disappointed that my good friend may be upset with me. After several attempts I managed to explain the situation and was assured that there was no issue and given the correct information to share with Marco.
So I rang Marco back, repeated what I had been told but still left the whole matter feeling unresolved. I then had to go out,
About an hour later I got a voice mail from someone called Howard at Utility Warehouse Customer Services whom I'd spoken to earlier when I called.
He said he was worried about me and therefore had called Marco himself to take him through everything and ensure he understood how he would save money with his energy services with Utility Warehouse.
He said that Marco had finished the call very happy! But this isn't all. About half an hour later I got a call from Marco telling me about the call from Howard, and how reassuring it had been and how he was excited to become a Utility Warehouse customer with all utilities on one bill and no more paper mountains to wade through!
He now also wants to become a distributor because he can see what a great company it is to be partnered with. I'm finding out who this Howard chap is to get him nominated for an award. I've never ever known customer service like it. What a great company."
So if you're looking at building an income from home, it'll be a good idea to find a network marketing business who will exceed your expectations!

Pretty much the most beautiful oil that I have ever seen. I only needed 2 drops and I was able to strobe my entire face! I still had some left over too!
If you have completely oily skin; you may not like this because you'll probably feel like a greaseball instead of a disco ball after an hour. It'll still work for you as a brow highlighter that you can quickly dab on though!
If you have dry/dull/normal/combo skin then you may fall in love with this. A little goes a very very long way. You'll look dewy, illuminated, and strobe-y. Fake it till you make it.

Utilizing templates while working within dotloop is fundamental in getting the most out of your account. If you are connected to a brokerage or association that has an agreement with dotloop, you can import all necessary documents for your particular transaction into the loop. Following the necessary steps when working with templates will save you countless hours allowing you to close more deals.
- The templates section
- Adding templates to your loops
- Creating template folders
- Emailing files to templates inbox
- Clause manager
- Pro tips
When logged into your dotloop account clicking the icon second furthest from the right will take you to the templates section. On the left side of the page all of your templates folders are listed with your two default folders, Personal and Inbox, listed at the top. Anything added to your personal folder is viewable on your account only. The inbox folder will house any PDF you have sent to your unique dotloop upload email address found under the Templates heading on the left side of the page.
If you're already connected to your brokerage and/or association, the folders that have been shared with you will appear below. Clicking the title of a folder on the left will then display all documents included in that folder. If you want to search for a particular document just click Search, next to the magnifying glass on the left side of the blue bar that goes across the page. If the title of the document is too long to be displayed, simply hover your cursor over the title of the document to show the full title. You will not be able to modify any documents shared to you by your brokerage or association because these are blank copies available to everyone associated. In order to fill out these documents they must first be added to a loop.
Adding templates to your loops
To add templates to your loop click Add Document, to the right of the folder you wish to add your template to, and choose the Templates option below Add From. Once clicked, a window will then appear listing all of your template folders on the left and the documents included in the folder you have selected on the right. Just like the templates section, you can select a folder on the right and then use the search bar at the top to locate particular documents. Click the checkbox or boxes corresponding with the documents you wish to add, then just select COPY on the bottom right.
Alternatively, you can either click on the three vertical dots to the right of the document from within your templates section and click MAKE A COPY:
Or to select multiple documents by checking the boxes to the left of them and choosing the COPY TO option that appears at the top:
We can copy the documents as dotloop documents, or as flat PDF's. A dotloop document will leave the document interactive and able to be autofilled, whereas a flat PDF will flatten all interactive fields. Once you have chosen the appropriate option, choose the TO LOOP option.
Then select the loop, and the folder you wish to copy the document(s) to, and choose COPY.
If you are a premium member of dotloop you have the ability to create your own folders to include documents specific to any type of transaction you work with. To do so, click New Folder on the right side of the page on the blue bar. In the window that appears, type the name of your folder, then select Create Folder on the bottom. Once created, you now have the ability to add documents either from your computer or other template folders. Once documents have been added, you can change the manner in which they are sorted by clicking the white down arrow to the right of New Folder, and select to sort by Date Added, Alphabetical, or Last Updated. Within this drop down you may also download all documents within the folder, or delete the folder.
Any documents you add from template folders provided by your brokerage or association are able to be modified within this folder. Any information applicable to all of your transactions, like your name or NRDS ID, can be entered into these templates. When adding documents to your loop if you choose to add the document from the folder you created, any of the information you had previously filled in will be automatically included in the document.
Emailing files to templates inbox
An easy way to add documents to your templates is to upload them via email. This is most beneficial when you are emailed documents and would like to immediately move them to Dotloop.
To see your upload email address, you will have to navigate to your templates section.
You can get to the templates section by selecting the icon that looks like two stacked pages in the top right hand corner of the screen.
On the top left hand side of the screen and underneath the word Templates, your own personal Dotloop upload email address will be listed.
Any .pdf attached to an email that is forwarded to that upload email address will appear in the folder titled INBOX in your templates.
A common example would be an agent sends you an email with a PDF attached, and you would like to automatically upload that document to your templates. You can simply forward that email, and enter your upload email in the recipient field of the email.
Once you have uploaded a document via email, you will receive an email confirming that that the process was successful, or there was an issue with any of the documents and could not be uploaded.
With the Clause manager, you can save your commonly used text for easy use later. These clauses will work alongside your templates when you are working within documents.
If you have commonly used clauses, and find yourself typing them in over and over, then clause manager is for you! Create your frequently used clauses in the clause manager under your templates section and each time you fill out a document you have the option to enter a clause in the text fields.
Create your new clause by typing in the default information you wish to save and populate each time and save.
Clauses can be added one of two ways into a text field. They can be manually added by selecting the clause icon with a text field selected, or by beginning to type the clause. We will suggest the rest for you. Only clauses that will fit within the currently selected text field will be suggested.
As an admin, you have the ability to share a clause out to your agents. To do so, click on the menu icon next to the clause and click SHARE.
The only file type that can be uploaded is a PDF. That PDF must be attached to the email and not in the body of the email.
If you have multiple profiles, you will have a different upload email address for each of those profiles.
The upload email address that is assigned to your account is determined by the name you sign up to Dotloop with and cannot be changed.
Make sure to read the confirmation email you receive, as it may give a reason describing why a document could not be uploaded.

Roth IRA for Small Businesses | Orange County, CA
What does Katz Financial like about the Roth-IRA?
Are you and your family prepared? If you die suddenly or are struck down by disability, your family might not be equipped to take over or even sell your business. You may have taken out loans backed by your family's assets to start or grow the business. If forced to sell quickly, your heirs may have to do so at a discount or during market conditions that makes it less attractive. If you have partners, your family might be unable to step into your role or your partners might not be able to quickly buy out your share.
Conscientious business owners need income replacement insurance for their families, key person coverage and buy-sell agreements to protect the future of their companies.
If a partner, owner or key employee is suddenly gone, the business can deteriorate very quickly. With the right insurance in place- the surviving business partners will have enough capital to keep the business going while looking for a replacement for the deceased partner or to buy out the heirs of the deceased partner
Let us help you choose the best retirement plans for small business owners with employees!

Mens's HealthFor any male athlete who is looking to build bigger and better muscle mass, Vitamin C can be a secret training weapon. Studies have shown it can help you absorb iron better which can enhance muscle development. Taking our ascorbic acid and calcium combination before eating red meat may help you absorb more iron from the meat. Experiment with this and it could become your new training secret for building massive muscles. In addition, men are notorious for not eating enough fruits and vegetables that contain high amounts of Vitamin C and calcium. Both of these nutrients are synergistically combined where they can benefit men's health specifically for this reason. Don't overlook this key supplement when you are training hard and trying to build muscle and fitness.
Women's Health For women in particular, the enhanced iron absorption possibilities can be a key to good health above all else. Many women suffer from an iron deficiency which seems to have a lot to do with their menstrual cycle. If you eat red meat, Proteinco Canada suggests you take our Vitamin C supplement prior to your largest portion each day. Women bodybuilders and figure competitors may see additional benefits from this protocol for better muscle development. Not getting enough calcium is another health concern than this Vitamin C supplement can help address. Don't be fooled into thinking dairy products are good sources of calcium. While they do contain good amounts, your body doesn't absorb them well if at all. This combined ascorbic acid and calcium ascorbate supplement is the best you will find in Canada we are certain.
As most everyone knows, Vitamin C is a necessary nutrient, primarily to prevent scurvy. It has a variety of other health benefits that haven't necessarily been proven by studies. The proof is with how you feel and perform however, so most athletes in particular understand the benefits of supplementing with Vitamin C. Proteinco Canada formulated our Vitamin C differently than most with added Calcium. Many athletes and active people deplete blood calcium levels during exercise. Additionally, high intensity exercise can drive your PH into being more acidic and calcium is the most available neutralizer. Therefore, adding calcium to our Vitamin C supplement make good sense for active consumers in particular. Taking Vitamin C prior to consuming red meats can help you absorb iron so it has advantages for muscle building too.
Don't rely on the fact you get enough Vitamin C and calcium from your foods. Buy the best Vitamin C supplement in Canada online at Proteinco.ca.
This Vitamin C is formulated differently for specific reasons Proteinco Canada formulated this top rated vitamin supplement with two forms of Vitamin C plus calcium. The benefits of this combination over taking each nutrient separately are extensive. Rather than having to take vitamins separately, it's advantageous to formulate a specific vitamin and mineral combination. Our scientists studied the effects of ordinary ascorbic acid vs calcium ascorbate combined with different forms of Vitamin C. The result is our superior formula that has many advantages over and above ascorbic acid alone. In essence it becomes a time release Vitamin C so your body continues to benefit for hours. Taking ascorbic acid alone means you process it quickly and only receive the positive effects for a very short time.
Why Take Proteinco Canada's Vitamin C You will have a difficult time finding a vitamin supplement like our Vitamin C. We combine three forms of combined ascorbic acid and calcium to make it as powerful as possible. We first use ascorbic acid as the Vitamin C fast form for immediate absorption. Next we added calcium ascorbate for the time release Vitamin C for extended benefit. Lastly we added additional calcium ascorbate for the calcium component. All our research indicates this is the most effective combination of nutrients to assure ascorbic acid absorption and for preventing calcium leaching from your bones.
Q –Isn't all Vitamin C the same? A – Most every Vitamin C supplement you find is simply ascorbic acid so yes, they are all the same. Proteinco Canada formulated a superior form that has many health and training benefits. We accomplished this by combining ascorbic acid with calcium ascorbate
Q – Can I take as many capsules as I want to? A – NO! This is one of the few Vitamin C supplements where you should only take 1 capsule per day. Simple ascorbic acid supplements can be taken in extremely high doses but not the one you find at Proteinco Canada.
Q – What are the benefits for bodybuilding and weight training? A – It's very likely this Vitamin C supplement can help you absorb iron better. For this reason, it could have dramatic effects on how well you build muscle. Therefore, it's a cheap supplement to try for bodybuilders and weight lifters looking to build more muscle mass.
Q – What is the best time of day to take Vitamin C? A – Any time of day is typically the same with our Vitamin C supplement. If you are looking for the iron absorption improvement specifically however, it's best to take it just prior to eating your largest red meat portion of the day. Otherwise take any time of day it's convenient for you.

10 Personal Pressing Questions
Posted in philosophy, religion, research, speculation, tagged fiction, life of the mind, personal questions, philosophy, truth on September 17, 2009| Leave a Comment »
Here's my top 10 most pressing questions in life.
- Can you be satisfied and functional AND integrate the idea that there is no universal meaning?
- Is ignorance bliss?
- How long will it take for us to give up on free will? will we ever do that?
- Will technology take over for athletic skill in all sports? if it does, will we enjoy it all the same?
- What's the next big thing after the Internet? will we recognize it when it happens?
- If there is a formal limit to knowledge, is there a point in knowing anything at all? see question. 2
- why do people assume "intelligence" in the human sense is a better strategy? the dinosaurs survived hundreds of millions of years without this "intelligence". or did they?
- If the universe expands to the point where observers on earth cannot observe any other object in the universe that isn't on earth or near to it, will observers consider our scientific theories myth? or will we beat that unobservable future with technology?
- Can you have thoughts without language (verbal or other symbolism)?
- What is time? no, really. what is it?
Short Term Business Vision Dominates
Posted in economics, research, science, tagged basic research, bell labs, darpa, innovation, labs, r and d, science, the internet on August 30, 2009| Leave a Comment »
Business Week has a really great article about the value of basic research in R&D Labs to future economies.
Many of the classic scientific research labs, such as Bell Labs and RCA Labs (now Sarnoff Corp.), were started and funded by companies with virtual monopolies and very strong, predictable cash flows. They were able to embrace the uncertainty and serendipity of pure research in the context of their business. But such companies don't exist today. With the increasing focus on shareholder value that began in the 1990s as global competition heated up, Fortune 500 companies could no longer justify open-ended research that might not directly impact their bottom line. Today, corporate research is almost exclusively engineering R&D, tending more toward applied research with a 3- to 5-year time horizon (or shorter). IBM, Microsoft MSFT, and Hewlett-Packard HPQ, for example, collectively spend $17 billion a year on R&D but only 3% to 5% of that is for basic science.
It's not just a shame, it's actually a very bad strategy in play right now and for the future. I once remarked at company retreat I was at that often a company or industry matures so much that it's only strategy is to invent just for the sake of inventing, with the idea that completely new revenue streams might evolve. I was quickly slapped down by a major executive, "We need to work on things that can be commercialized now." I knew then the fate of that company would be mostly an arbitrage of wall street expectations. And that's exactly what it, and 1000s of other companies have become. This is also why this particular recession is so painful – most companies have no institutional ability to innovate. Two decades of chaising the near term exit, the 30% stock market rocket shot leave industry stagnant.
Know one knows what the next big idea is. And no one will figure that out without basic research. And by big ideas, I mean things like the printing press, the Internet, germ theory, genetics, the Wheel. You know – THE BIG STUFF that powers generations of commerce.

Panoramic Wedding Photography at The Golf Club at Newcastle
February 7th, 2012
Namita Singh and Gauhar Junnarkar were married in a traditional Indian Hindu wedding ceremony at The Golf Club at Newcastle. The weather was splendid and the light was grand. The Golf Club has a great white tent where the wedding ceremony took place and it was amazingly decorated with numerous flowers. After the ceremony we went outside with all of the family members for a wedding panorama with the western sky in the background. The towers of the city of Seattle kind of look like a castle in the distance give it a certain look that makes it this is one of my favorite panoramas. Click here Wedding Photography at The Golf Club at Newcastle to see the rest of the pictures of their wedding from a previous post.
The Golf Club at Newcastle Indian Wedding of Namita and Gauhar
December 6th, 2011
I have been photographing weddings professionally since 1997 and have seen hundreds of weddings in that time. Traditional American weddings are great to photograph and I have seen them evolve over the years as people see fit to define how they want to arrange their wedding. Some strictly follow tradition and many feel free to improvise. There is something very special about traditional Indian weddings. No other culture has such elaborate rituals and ceremonies lasting days and such festive garments all of which make photographing them a radical departure from American weddings. In October I had the pleasure along with Monica Frisell to photograph the wedding of Namita Singh and Gauhar Junnarkar. Their wedding was a traditional Indian Hindu wedding with three days of festivities starting on Thursday with the Mehndi ceremony, one of the most important pre-wedding rituals especially for the bride. It was a fun and festive ritual, at Namita's home with family and friends with the women wearing vivid colors. There was a a professional henna artist applying the mehndi to Namita and some of the other women as well. The designs are fascinating and the really good henna artists hide the name of the groom in the intricacies of the design.
Friday night the celebration of Namita and Gauhar's wedding continued at the Bainbridge Island Community Center with more dancing and feasting.
The Golf Club at Newcastle.The weather was splendid and the light was grand. The Golf Club has a great white tent where the wedding ceremony took place and it was amazingly decorated with numerous flowers.
Before people began to arrive, Namita and Gauhar and I went around the grounds and made some pictures with the beautiful scenery in the background. The views from Newcastle are wonderful if the weather is clear and it was slightly hazy, but still very nice that day. In the traditional Indian manner, Gauhar mounted a horse ( if an elephant is not available) and with members of his family traveled around the grounds of Newcastle accompanied by music and drumming and dancing. They finally arrived at the entrance of the Clubhouse and were formally greeted by Namita's family. Then they all proceed to enter the tent for the ceremony. Gauhar and the priests Mr Dilip Bhatt and Pandit Mahesh Shastriji entered along with almost everyone except the bride. The Hindu ceremony was performed according to Vedic traditions in the Sanskrit language. It was a relatively long ceremony made up of 16 different rituals. After the Hindu ceremony there was a cocktail hour on the terrace and then a formal dinner inside the main ballroom.
Here are some of the highlights of their wedding festivities beginning with the Mehndi and on through the end of the festivities on Saturday night.
Here is a link to Namita and Gauhar's previous post of their The Golf Club at Newcastle Wedding. I would like to give a shout out to videographer Aaron Horton of Aaron Horton Productions who was a pleasure to work with. A real professional to work with. Would like to see his film with it is done. Finally hats offf to Erik Franklin and his staff at The Golf Club at Newcastle. They operate a really first class venue. One of the finest.

Golf Club at Newcastle – Hindu Wedding Ceremony of Namita and Gauhar
October 11th, 2011
The Golf Club at Newcastle was beautiful setting for Namita and Gauhar's hindu wedding ceremony last Saturday. We took time before the ceremony to make some pictures on the scenic grounds around the golf course. Here a few of the highlights of their wedding I selected as I was backing up all of the images to my hard drive. It will take some time to go through all the pictures from all of the ceremonies, including the days of festivities leading up to Saturday, and edit them down to a manageable number. Here's hoping these will hold you all until then.
The Golf Club at Newcastle Wedding Panorama Photography
October 6th, 2010
The Golf Club at Newcastle according to Seattle Bride Magazine, is the place that is the "Best Sunset Wedding Spot" in the Seattle area, and Tim and Michele Sheehan were married there. It was a perfect Seattle summer day in the first week in July and the sunset was indeed stunning. This panoramic large group wedding portrait, taken shortly after they made their vows in the wedding tent pavilion at Newcastle Golf Club, shows everyone in attendance at their ceremony, and the hills in back going eastwards toward the Cascades. Here is a link The Golf Club at Newcastle Wedding to see the stunning sunset picture and the rest of the photos from their wedding that I have highlighted previously on this blog.
Newcastle Golf Club Wedding | Michele and Tim's Wedding Photography
March 16th, 2010
Michele and Tim were married at the Golf Club at Newcastle the place that is the "Best Sunset Wedding Spot" in the Seattle area, according to Seattle Bride Magazine and it is hard to argue with them. Tim Sheehan, who has the same family name as I, but we are not related, married Michele on one of those perfect Seattle summer days in the first week in July and as promised the sunset was indeed stunning. After the sun set into the Pacific Ocean behind the Olympic Mountains, there was still some twilight with which to see the sprinklers watering the greens catching highlights off the afterglow on the golf course.
I wanted to post some of the highlights from their wedding here. It was hard to choose so at the bottom if you want to see more I will add a web galley with some additional selects of my favorite pictures that tell the story of their wedding day.
The Golf Club at Newcastle has some fantastic panoramic views and a majestic English Manor-style clubhouse, and of course if you are into golf, a great and challenging course with views extending out over Lake Washington and the City of Seattle to the Olympic Mountains to the west.
As for weddings it was a great venue too with the ceremony outside in a white tent that has perfect light to photograph a wedding in to the terrane as place for cocktails with a view to the dinning room with some of the best food in the region.
Did I mention that the cake was really yummy?

My husband and I are both shift workers and searching for the right kind of child care was proving to be a real issue. Thankfully a friend told me about Nicky and Paul (and family) and so I went to visit before Charlie was even born. They are such a lovely people and I could not have asked for a better family type environment for Charlie which is exactly what I wanted as he would only be 6 months when he started. In fact Nicky and Paul were so flexible I actually took him from 6 weeks so that he could adjust but also so I could have a few hours to myself. Having no family nearby and a husband who is often away with work this actually preserved my sanity! Whilst to some this could appear selfish I believe that Charlie gets to see and experience different things than being at home with me all day. Plus I'm a better mum as a result. They are totally supportive to me and amazing with Charlie. I couldn't recommend them enough!
"Archie has been with Nicky and Paul since he was 11 weeks old. The level of care and support they have given to our son and to us has been second to none. Archie loves the time he spends there and his development has been way above expectation. Much of this is due to the nurture and individual care that they have given Archie. This ranges from simple values like good manners to the implementation of numerical awareness and speech development. Wonderful! "
Nicky and Paul Burgess are exceptional childminders who have looked after all three of my children. I would highly recommend them. The resources are amazing and the children do not just benefit from a sound educational foundation, but they also develop a huge respect for adults and other children. Nicky and Paul are not just childminders but have become more like extended family. My children have a lot of fun and thoroughly enjoy the huge range of stimulating activities and trips out.
My children have been coming to Paul & Nicky's over the last 14yrs and during this time i have seen how they have adapted to meet the needs of the children and to constantly strive to provide exceptional care and education for the children they look after. There resources are outstanding and rival even the larger nurseries in our area and outside. I am very happy to leave my children with Paul & Nicky and would'nt hesitate to reccommend them to any parent seeking childcare. They always go the extra mile and put the needs of the children at the heart of all they do. Thank you for all the care and support over the years.
Nicky & Paul put heart and soul into caring and engaging all the children who are in their care, through the provision of clean, safe and stimulating facilties.
Combining an extension to learning under the more formal educational curriculum, with fun activities, copious amounts of crafting (our fridge and flat surfaces are evidence of this), visits from external educational organisations, and trips to local atttractions. All of which are delivered in a way that the children themselves see as pure fun.
Our daughter Charlotte has been attending daily term time since she commenced primary school 2 years ago, with the addition of ocassional days during holidays, and absolutely loves it! She loves the interaction with children of all ages (birth to pre secondary school), with many firm friends made, and the extended virtual family opened up, through the sense of belonging, community and responsibility engendered in being part of all group activities.
We would not hesitate to recommend Nicky and Paul, for their friendly care, fantastic facilities, and family feel of the whole experience,
My daughter Isabella has been looked after by Paul and Nicky for over 18 months now and Isabella has thrived under their care. She brings home lots of crafts, has a great time interacting with the other children and I know she thoroughly enjoys her trips out. The care she receives is outstanding and has aided her development in many ways. I could not praise Paul and Nicky enough for the consistent care, enthusiasm, committment and expertise provided.
Our daughter absolutley loves her time at Nicky and Pauls. They do so much with the children including going out to the Zoo, park and crabbing on the seafront. She is always coming home with various items she has made; including lovely gifts for Mothers Day and Fathers Day. It is clear Nicky and Paul love their job and the children they look after, which makes the care my daughter receives exceptional!
My son loves it with Nicky and Paul. Everytime I arrive he is doing something different. He has made friends and grown in confidence during his time here. Nicky and Paul have a welcome enviroment which is warm and friendly allowing all children to feel safe and secure. The resources are endless and toys are rotated often ensuring that there is plenty of variety. Their standards are high throughout teaching respect and manners within each child.
Bobbie started at Nicky and Pauls at 18 months old and within a few weeks we noticed a massive change in her development, this, we put down to the fantastic care and attention show towards Bobbie. Bobbie is now 10 years old and the pre-school element of Nicky and Pauls gave Bobbie a major headstart to full time education, we would not hesitate in recomending Nicky and Paul to any other parent looking for quality care and pre-school education for there children. Many thanks Gavin and Sharon.
Frankie loves his time with Nicky and Paul. Since being with them we have noticed his confidence growing, as well as a great change in his physical and verbal development. He really enjoys spending time with the other children and is learning to share and play with the others. We believe this is down to Nicky, Paul, Gemma and Nicky's time and attention. All the children always seem well looked after and to be having fun and enjoy a wonderful range of activities. We find the environment safe, homely, welcoming and fun.
We just wanted to drop you a brief note to summarise how well Maiah (7) and Finbar (5) have been cared for by you over the years.
Maiah and Fin both started coming to you when Emma's maternity leave ended each time. You have been tremendously flexible, allowing Emma to work her variable shifts as a Staff Nurse. Maiah and Finbar have always thrived while in your care, and have developed all their skills. This has continued since they started school, coming to you before and after school as needed. They have been taught excellent manners and discipline and their social interaction has been allowed to flourish.
Thank you for your excellent service over so many years!
Nicky and Paul are fully committed to each and every child in their care with regard to both their physical and mental development, with safety always paramount. The range of resources they provide is astounding and they are extremely creative with the activities that they engage the children in. They give the children the very best start before they enter more formal education.
We chose this particular setting for our children because it offered a friendly home from home atmosphere, with children of different age groups, which has given our own children the confidence to mix with others that they do not know. We have a constant dialogue with Nicky and Paul so that we are working in partnership to make sure there is continuity of care and so that our children are aware of our expectations with regard to their behaviour and manners.
They look forward to going each morning and often do not wish to leave at the end of the day when they are collected.
Surely the sign of somewhere they enjoy being!
Windows of distinction are proud to sponsor Nicky & Paul Burgess. Providing Quality Childcare in Teignmouth.
the level of care is outstanding and the children are learning at such a level you can only give praise for - long may it continue!

It builds on the OCFP's popular program Don't Just Do Something, Stand There! and the Choosing Wisely Canada campaign.
Learn more about Practising Wisely
Participants will identify opportunities on how to "practise wisely", with a focus on reducing over-prescribing, over-imaging, over-screening and over-monitoring using the latest evidence and tools from diverse sources. This workshop aligns closely with the Choosing Wisely Canada (CWC) campaign to implement good healthcare stewardship and avoid over-medicalization.

- Standard presentations: Standard sessions are able to be presented in a brief (20 minute) or extended (50 minute) format, based on the number of presenters at the event and the overall time available for presentations. If sessions are presented in brief format, there will be a Q&A session following every 2-3 presentations; if sessions are presented in extended format, presenters deliver the content with time built in for questions and clarification and will walk through the content with audience members, providing additional audience-presenter interaction.

Assam is a state of India in the north-eastern region. Located south of the eastern Himalayas, Assam comprises the Brahmaputra Valley and the Barak river valleys along with the Karbi Anglong and the North Cachar Hills with an area of 30,285 square miles (78,438 km2). Assam is surrounded by six of the other Seven Sister States: Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, and Meghalaya. Geographically Assam and these states are connected to the rest of India via a strip of land in West Bengal called the Siliguri Corridor or "Chicken's Neck".[3] Assam shares international border with Bhutan and Bangladesh; and culture, people and climate with South-East Asia – elements in India's Look East policy.[4] Assam became a part of British India after the British occupied the region following the First Anglo-Burmese War of 1824–1826.
Assam tea is produced here along with petroleum and Assam silk. The state has conserved the one-horned Indian rhinoceros from near extinction, along with the pygmy hog, tiger and various species of birds. It provides one of the last wild habitats for the Asian elephant. The economy is aided by wildlife tourism while the Kaziranga and the Manas National Parks are designated as World Heritage Sites. Sal tree forests are found in the state, which as a result of rainfall looks green all year round. This rain feeds the Brahmaputra River, whose tributaries and oxbow lakes provide the region with a hydro-geomorphic and aesthetic environment.Book Now Ask a Question
