Joe Manganiello Drops Out of History Military Drama 'Six'
History's forthcoming military drama Six has hit a snag.
Joe Manganiello has dropped out of the series, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Production has subsequently been put on hold as the project, which received a eight-episode order in January, looks to recast his leading role.
Produced by The Weinstein Company, the drama centers on a brotherhood of modern American warriors — Navy SEAL Team Six — who take on the most high-risk military special-ops missions in the world. However, their 2014 mission to eliminate a Taliban leader in Afghanistan goes awry when they uncover a U.S. citizen working with the terrorists.
Manganiello was set to play Rip Taggart, once the squad leader of SEAL Team Six, now working in Africa protecting a small village from Boko Haram.
The part would have marked the actor's first series-regular role after his multiple-season stint on HBO vampire drama True Blood, which wrapped in 2014. Manganiello's recent credits include the Magic Mike films and Pee-wee's Big Holiday, which was released on Netflix.
The cast for Six also includes Revenge's Barry Sloane, who is set as the recently appointed leader of SEAL Team Six, as well as Kyle Schmid, Edwin Hodge and Dominic Adams.
Written by William Broyles (Castaway, Apollo 13) and military special-operations veteran David Broyles, the drama is being produced by A+E Studios, Harvey Weinstein and The Weinstein Co. Bob Weinstein, Alfredo Barrios Jr. (Burn Notice) and George W. Perkins (Live from Baghdad) also will executive produce. Bruce C. McKenna (Band of Brothers, The Pacific) will serve as an executive consultant and will help write the episodes with Barrios, the Broyles and Karen Campbell (Dexter). Retired U.S. Navy SEAL Mitchell Hall (Zero Dark Thirty, Lone Survivor) will serve as the series' technical adviser.
The news was first reported by Variety.

Yellow jacket problems on the rise at Lake Tahoe
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Officials at Lake Tahoe have been responding to an uptick in reports of problems with pesky yellow jackets.
Karen Bender of the El Dorado County Department of Environmental Health says people there have been receiving about 10 calls a day after fielding 16 in a single day last Monday.
Bender said a mild winter allowed more of the queens to survive into the spring and build the nests that can house as many as 5,000 worker yellow jackets in the summer and fall.
El Dorado County residents pay a $6 fee for vector control as part of their property taxes, so Bender recommends they take advantage of the extermination service provided by environmental health specialists who apply a pesticide that comes in a white powder and is not sold to the public.
"One reason we want vector control to go out is because we don't want to kill honeybees," Bender told the Lake Tahoe News. She said honeybees are the "good" bees needed to pollinate plants.
Yellow jackets, considered pests, are part of the wasp family. They make nests in the ground, under decks, in walls, under eaves and in trees.
Warren Withers, director of Barton Memorial Hospital's emergency department, didn't have specific numbers but said he has noticed more people coming in with stings this year compared to last year.
"When we do see the stings they can cause a variety of reactions — from minor irritation to more serious allergic reactions," Withers told Lake Tahoe News. "They do tend to be more numerous and more aggressive in September-October, especially as the weather cools, until the first hard freeze."
Barton Urgent Care and Family Practice has also had an uptick in sting cases recently, but so far their numbers have not surpassed 2012 figures.
Holly Holwager, a harvest inspector with the U.S. Forest Service's Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, said they've encountered a typical amount of bees but "they seem less aggressive than last field season."

I myself find that I trust my own writing most, and others seem to trust it most, too, when I sound most like a person from Indianapolis, which is what I am. What alternatives do I have? The one most vehemently recommended by teachers has no doubt been pressed on you, as well: that I write like cultivated Englishmen of a century of more ago.Or, if Vonnegut's not your bag, T-Rex is dishing out his take on literary stylings.
I used to be exasperated by such teachers, but am no more. I understand now that all those antique essays and stories with which I was to compare my own work were not magnificent for their datedness or foreignness, but for saying precisely what their authors meant them to say. My teachers wished me to write accurately, always selecting the most effective words, and relating the words to one another unambiguously, rigidly, like parts of a machine. The teachers did not want to turn me into an Englishman after all. They hoped that I would become understandable -- and therefore understood.
Unhappy Reformation Day!

He Reigns
This week I stood on the ground I have feared for the past six years—ever since my husband came home and told me he thought God might be leading our family to work in this region. But even more powerfully, I worshipped there. I would have given almost anything for you to be in the same small, non-descript building with its understated glass cross at the front, and a group of about 50 foreign believers in a city of roughly one million Muslims. It's the only one of its kind.
I've been in some powerful worship services before: standing as one of 23,000 youth in an arena in St. Louis for the Urbana Conference; being one white face in a sea of displaced Rwandan refugees worshipping in a Congolese church in the midst of the Rwandan genocide; raising my hands with a group of my high school peers in an evening of songs and praise that had become a weekly tradition at our boarding school growing up. But nothing quite compares to joining this local body of faithful workers in North Africa, worshipping their God underneath the watchful eye of surveillance cameras, knowing the challenges they face, and feeling, despite the fact that I have never been there before, that I was standing among family. There's just something about worshipping in a foreign context to add weight and depth to the lyrics we can become over-accustomed to. It was so good to be in Africa again—to be "home."
"It's the song of the redeemed, rising from the African plain…"
I felt like I was singing the words for the first time. "Here we are, Lord, praising your name from the soils of Africa and it is good. "
"The song of Asian believers, filled with God's holy fire…"
A Korean brother directly in front of me, begins to pray, thanking God for the faith He's given to us, asking the Lord to bring it to completion because he knows the answer to any lack of faith in our hearts is the work of God to complete, reminding us all that God is the Author and the Finisher of our faith. Conviction wracked my heart as tears began to stream down my face, because I have struggled with the knowledge of how small my faith has been in relation to moving to this region. I have carried large amounts of guilt believing for years that there was something wrong with me, telling myself over and over, "If you are so afraid, you just must not have enough faith!" and entering into the self-defeating cycle of trying to muster more faith on my own. Standing there during his prayer, I felt the Lord whispering into my heart, "There's nothing wrong with your faith, daughter. It's beautiful...it's just not finished yet."
"Let praises echo from the tower of cathedrals, to the faithful gathered underground…"
"This, I found myself praying, this is what faith looks like. I don't have this, Father! " "Not yet, but you will. I started this in you, I will finish it. I'm proud of you for coming this far. That's an obedience I can use to expand My Kingdom—to bring My vision for the nations!" I felt the burden of the guilt begin to lessen, as I surrendered the responsibility to procure something like the faith I was seeing around me, when it wasn't there in my own heart. How arrogant of me to think that I could ever muster enough faith in my own life to make this make sense. I felt myself returning to the Author of Faith, trusting Him, but still the fear of what might be left my fists clenched at my side, stubbornly hanging on to what I needed—a false sense of control.
"And all the powers of darkness tremble at what they've just heard, because all the powers of darkness can't drown out a single word…."
I have often wondered if I would struggle with fear of this work forever. I thought for sure if I moved forward in faith for long enough, eventually I would push through it, and be done with it, but that hasn't been the case yet. I continue to wrestle, sometimes even feeling like it holds me captive. But standing there on Sunday surrounded by people that were doing it—living out their convictions, putting their hands and hearts and feet and backs into the work God had called them to; not just talking about, or thinking about it, or planning for it, but actually doing it! The lyrics reminding me again of the ending we have already been assured of. We know who holds the ultimate authority, even over the forces of darkness. For the first time the passion in my heart to see God's vision for the earth a reality more than outweighed the fear or concern I feel when I think of what might come if we choose to be a part of it —it obliterated it. I felt something break loose in my spirit.
"It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation, a love song born of a grateful choir."
How our hearts long for this—and how they leap for joy when we are experiencing a small glimpse of what it will be like when our Lord returns. This is our end-game, and this is our coming reality. How blessed we are to be used in this small way.
"It's all God's children singing glory, glory, hallelujah! He reigns, He reigns!"


text: I was approached by another contractor asking me to give them a price on larger home in Minnesota. They wanted a ballpark price in 1 1/2 hours. They had worked weeks on the biding of this house and were still edgy about the final price. From what they showed me 2 different sets prints that were designed by an architect. The plans were poorly drawn as well as the traffic flow and design aspect of the print. In the details of the prints there is to be a cross elevation of different location of house to understand how the house is to be built. These pages were missing about 80% of the information. Leaving it up to the lumberyard as to the design of the building. Or in other words the architect drew a nice picture. The builder has to draw his own conclusions with no supporting data has to loads and wind resistance of the building. Back to the contractor, he has hundreds of sheets of papers from a bunch of sub contractors, with prices all over the board for the same job to being done. The lumberyard alone has had the print of the house for a month, and final estimate of the lumber bid is still a lure. Information from the contractor to the sub's was sketchy at best. The contractor had photo's of ideas what the owner's wanted but wasn't following the design of the photo's. This whole project is doomed for hurt feelings as well as the contractor will leave the job with a bad reputation.

After making my id and getting the test, I've tried to upload my first translation, but it seems that my submission was not queued and I'm not sure if it is normal or not. Plus the lyrics of this song is not so easy and neither English nor Japanese is my native language, so I think it's not a bad idea to discuss my proposal. So please feel free to pick any mistakes. BTW, I think this is the best song by KOTOKO in spite of Princess bride!, hope more people enjoy it.
Thanks in advance.

Sledgehammer Romance
Lyrics by Masaki Motonaga (元長柾木)
Music by KOTOKO
Sung by KOTOKO
土曜のキスよりも 覚悟して 飛び出した 行き先は
More determined than a Saturday kiss, I ran out to the place
パパもママもいない場所 だけど 一つの夜空を 見えるなら いいよね
Where neither dad nor mom is. Yet I'm happy to see the same night sky.
探さないでね みんな大好き 裏切りちゃって ごめんね
Please don't look for me. I love you all. Sorry for betraying you.
これが最初の 正念場だから わがままを許して
This is my first moment of fate [1], so forgive me for being selfish.
結ばれたボクらの(果てしのない) ロングセイリング(帆を上げて)
The long sailing (endless) of us who are bound together (hoist the sail)
どこまでも行くよ ずっと 小さな心は 離れはしない
Will continue to anywhere ceaselessly. Little hearts shall not be parted.
久遠の荘園は 塵となり 灰となり 潰えても
Though the ancient manor tumbles down to be dirt and ashes,
死が二人を別まで ともに 無明の荒れ野を 二人きり 歩もう
Til death do us part, the two of us shall walk the wilderness of avidya alone. [2]
尾根渡る風 落ち延びる騎士 歴史の終わる 足音
Wind crossing the peak. A knight running far away. Footsteps telling the end of history.
過去も未来も 戦場に消えて 天の星となって
Past and future will disappear on the battlefield and become stars in the sky.
取り戻せ玉座を(かけがえない) 愛しき王子よ(そばに居て)
Regain your throne (no other than you), beloved prince (be beside me).
わたしの名はプリンセス 鋼鉄の愛は 砕けはしない
My name is princess. Love of steel shall not be broken.
甘い吐息と ささやきの海 あふれ続ける 睦言
Sweet sighs and whispering ocean. Overflowing words of romance.
肌触れ合わせ 揺るがない気持ち とめどない口づけ
Touched skins. [3] Unhesitating feeling. Ceaseless kisses.
The beat strikes my heart (this heartbeat) like a sledgehammer (does not stop).
燃えるロマンスは いつも 天文学的 永久にボクらは
Blazing romance is always astrological. Shall we be so forever. [4]
取り戻せ玉座を 愛しき王子よ
Regain your throne, beloved prince.
[1] 正念場 means the most important scene in Kabuki where the basic character of protagonist is expressed, and metaphorically 'a do-or-die situation'. I think it is not so bad.
[2] avidya, sanskrit for 無明, is a Buddhist term meaning the fundamental ignorance of human beings.
[3] Literally, this might more mean that the skins are touched to cause the unhesitating feeling, but I couldn't find a smart expression.
[4] In fact this is an overinterpretation. Original text "永久にボクらは" does not close the sentence properly. I considered 'shall we forever' or 'shall we be forever' but I'm not sure how they make sense.

On the day I was born we bought six hair–bottomed chairs, and in our little house it was an event, the first great victory in a woman's long campaign; how they had been laboured for, the pound–note and the thirty threepenny–bits they cost, what anxiety there was about the purchase, the show they made in possession of the west room, my father's unnatural coolness when he brought them in (but his face was white)—I so often heard the tale afterwards, and shared as boy and man in so many similar triumphs, that the coming of the chairs seems to be something I remember, as if I had jumped out of bed on that first day, and run ben to see how they looked. I am sure my mother's feet were ettling to be ben long before they could be trusted, and that the moment after she was left alone with me she was discovered barefooted in the west room, doctoring a scar (which she had been the first to detect) on one of the chairs, or sitting on them regally, or withdrawing and re–opening the door suddenly to take the six by surprise. And then, I think, a shawl was flung over her (it is strange to me to think it was not I who ran after her with the shawl), and she was escorted sternly back to bed and reminded that she had promised not to budge, to which her reply was probably that she had been gone but an instant, and the implication that therefore she had not been gone at all. Thus was one little bit of her revealed to me at once: I wonder if I took note of it. Neighbours came in to see the boy and the chairs. I wonder if she deceived me when she affected to think that there were others like us, or whether I saw through her from the first, she was so easily seen through. When she seemed to agree with them that it would be impossible to give me a college education, was I so easily taken in, or did I know already what ambitions burned behind that dear face? when they spoke of the chairs as the goal quickly reached, was I such a newcomer that her timid lips must say 'They are but a beginning' before I heard the words? And when we were left together, did I laugh at the great things that were in her mind, or had she to whisper them to me first, and then did I put my arm round her and tell her that I would help? Thus it was for such a long time: it is strange to me to feel that it was not so from the beginning.

(And for those who want to know that round thing is a moon light. It's really cool. It goes through the phases of the moon for several minutes when I turn it on using its remote. It can also stay in a phase of your choice. Coolest nightlight ever.)
I don't know why I started doing the word thing. I wanted something on his wall that I could change. I drew some pictures but they didn't mean much. So I started with the words. I love words. If I ever got tattoos I'd get words (but I'm not going to get any tattoos -- my husband has enough for both of us). And random words can get a person thinking (try it if you dare -- just write five random words down. Now make a silly poem or story with them. You probably haven't written a silly poem for years).
Our days here at home go pretty fast usually. We read. We eat. I do laundry. Hawk rocks on the ground. I do dishes. Today I mopped. Yesterday I cleaned the bathroom. Hawk rolled around while I did that. We watch a show. Presently our show is Enterprise. We are reading the Bible straight through this year together. We are in Job. That's how we start our reading. Then we normally read a science or history book. We just got done with one called Lab Girl. It's written by Scientist and Author Hope Jahren. It's part memoir, part science -- anyone who loves plant science or trees or just a really good true story would like it. I don't know her spiritual beliefs but a lot of the stuff she writes about plants and trees is so applicable to our own growth. Hawk liked that book.
Hawk is happy. When it's nice out we sit outside and get some sun. We listen to the birds. We look at the grass. We talk to the horses. We take walks. We read outside.
When I bake Hawk gets to be my taste tester. He likes it when I bake cookies!
Then of course there is the daily maintenance of taking care of Hawk that now includes shaving and acne control.
Every once in a while I wonder why. I wonder why Hawk was created the way He was. I think if he was a 16 year old boy who was typical he'd be a sophomore in high school. Probably have a crush on a girl. Maybe play a sport. Be a bit rebellious. Would have a driver's license. Would be telling the world what he plans to do for his future. Instead, he's home with me rolling around and making noises; listening to me read and dealing with seizures daily.
He's a mystery to me. I know God's in control. And I know He created Hawk as He did for a purpose.
One big purpose is that He is a living illustration for anyone who takes the time to hang out with him. He could be an angry teenager. He could lash out and be violent. But he doesn't. He's content. He's content just the way He is. He sees his siblings come and go. I don't know what he thinks but when he wants something he makes his wishes known through noises and a whole lot of patience. I know God talks to him and I know God listens.
When a person is content, there is power in contentment. We can learn how to be content (Paul writes that he learned to be content in all circumstances --in poverty and in wealth, etc, etc). When we are content we are thankful. When we are content we are protecting ourselves from temptation of all sorts. When we are content we are remembering this is our Father's world and He's got it under control. When we are content we remember we aren't the ones who rule the universe and if things go our way it is probably not going our way but the way God intended it to go (we just happen to agree with God on what should happen). When we are content we remember the world doesn't revolve around us (thank Jesus for that) and we can step back and let God run the show.
My husband preached on commitment last Sunday -- carrying our crosses daily whatever those crosses may be. He mentioned that it isn't commitment unless we give it all to Jesus -- even that one thing we normally hold back.
Maybe that one thing we want to control is the very thing God wants us to give up -- it probably is. It is what is standing between Him and us hindering us from following Him wholly. As my husband mentioned -- when a woman marries a man she wouldn't tolerate him keeping his girlfriend. That isn't commitment.
Have a lovely weekend. I'm going to see Alice in Wonderland tonight at the Dupree School. My son Pete is the Mad Hatter and my daughter Megan is the Queen of Hearts. It's put on by Missoula Children's Theatre.

What is a cosmetic smile makeover in Farmington, NM?
A smile makeover generally involves a number of cosmetic dental treatments that are designed to fix problems you are having with your teeth and to make your smile more attractive across the board. As the name implies, our smile makeovers are designed to truly "make over" your smile. If you decide to receive a full-smile cosmetic makeover, you will end up with a finished product that is dramatically different and much more beautiful than the smile you started with. Our cosmetic smile makeovers in Farmington, NM are one-of-a-kind and perfectly designed to fit your unique smile needs.
Our dental office is highly skilled when it comes to cosmetic dentistry in Farmington, NM. Our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Jared Lusk, can fully redesign your smile using cosmetic and restorative dental procedures such as porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, inlays and onlays, and dental bonding.
The first step in a smile makeover is to come in for an initial dental appointment with Dr. Lusk, your cosmetic dentist in Farmington. This dental appointment functions as a sort of cosmetic smile makeover consultation where Dr. Lusk will review your overall oral health and discuss with you the cosmetic concerns you have about your smile. Depending on the amount of work that might be needed to repair damaged or misaligned teeth, Dr. Lusk will recommend different types of procedures or treatments.
What are the common dental procedures done during a cosmetic smile makeover at Hosaka Family Dental?
At Lusk Family Dentistry, we have extensive experience giving our patients something to smile about! We are a go-to expert on cosmetic dentistry in Farmington, NM. When you come into our office, we will design a treatment plan that will help you reach your goals. We can discuss many different treatment options to address the different problems you may be having with your smile or with your bite.
Below, we talk a bit more about some of the most common procedures done during our cosmetic smile makeovers in Farmington, NM:
Bonding is a great way to correct cracks or gaps in your teeth. Dental bonding can also be used to cover stained or discolored teeth. Bonding is a relatively straightforward dental treatment that can be done quickly and painlessly to correct a number of cosmetic dental flaws.
The resin used in bonding is used to fill cavities as well. The tooth-colored resin is attractive, subtle, and provides an advantage over the old, dark-colored amalgam fillings. With bonding, a composite, tooth-colored resin is molded and sculpted to fit the affected tooth. Bonding is a safe, attractive solution for a number of dental problems, and patients can expect it to last for 10 or more years. If you have questions about how bonding factors into your cosmetic smile makeover in Farmington, NM, Dr. Lusk would be happy to meet with you to discuss the treatment further!
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are additional common dental treatments used during our cosmetic smile makeovers.
Inlays and onlays, which are also referred to as partial crowns, use an existing tooth as a base just like full crowns do. Unlike full crowns, however, an inlay is placed right on a tooth that has no existing damage to the cusps. If there is some damage, an onlay is used.
Like crowns, both inlays and onlays strengthen the tooth and restore its shape. Inlays and onlays also prevent further damage by their placement onto the teeth. If you require inlays, onlays, or both as part of your smile makeover in Farmington, NM, you can expect the entire process to take about two or three weeks from the time a mold is taken of your tooth until the partial crown is ready to be placed.
Teeth Whitening
Even with proper maintenance, it can be difficult to keep our teeth as white as we'd like. Coffee, wine, tea, and smoking can cause stains that cannot be eliminated with brushing. If your teeth are looking lackluster, teeth whitening is a safe, affordable way to restore their natural color.
Dr. Lusk often recommends professional teeth whitening as part of our cosmetic dentistry treatments. Professional teeth whitening is an amazingly effective way to enhance your teeth as part of our smile makeovers in Farmington, NM.
How is this whitening achieved? The whole process is actually quite simple. Our dental office uses a tray whitening system to whiten teeth. First, we make an impression of your teeth so we can create whitening trays you can use over and over. The dental impression ensures that your teeth whitening trays will be an exact fit for your smile.
Next, we give you the whitening gel to use at your own convenience. This professional-strength teeth bleaching gel will make your teeth four to eight times brighter in just a few days! You'll whiten your teeth in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Whitening your teeth has never been easier!
If you are interested in our professional teeth whitening services as part of your cosmetic smile makeover, don't hesitate to contact Dr. Lusk at (505) 325-8401!
You may also need to incorporate porcelain veneers into your cosmetic smile makeover.
Veneers are simple dental restorations that can enhance your smile as well as fix issues such as chipped teeth, cracked teeth, misshapen teeth, stained teeth, or teeth that are misaligned. Veneers are thin ceramic shells that are bonded directly to the tooth structure with minimal impact to your natural teeth.
In just two or three visits, you can have a beautiful, natural-looking smile that can last as long as 15 years with good oral care. Dr. Lusk will work with you to help you decide the best shape, size, and color of your veneers. Porcelain veneers are another example of how our cosmetic dentistry services in Farmington, NM are helping people learn to fall in love with their smiles!

EDITOR'S NOTE: This article was written before the devastating earthquakes that hammered Nepal. It was intended for publication at a time when the additional burdens of recovery from natural disaster were not foremost in everyone's mind. Although it doesn't address the specifics of these pressing needs, it still addresses a concern of critical importance, as times like these are when predators step up their work taking advantage of the weak. It is a time when girls are most at risk.
We stood at the border between India and Nepal surrounded by a cacophony of sounds and smells, most of which were not pleasant. We were in Bhairawha, one of 23 official border crossings in the southern Terai region of Nepal, a land that feels more like India than the mountainous country most people imagine Nepal to be.
Every manner of transportation makes its way with no regulation into India through these crossings. We watched people on foot dodging colorful lorries with HONK PLEASE painted on the rear gates, rickshaws in various states of functionality, bikes, MINI Cooper–sized cars, cows, and buses crammed with tourists returning from a visit to Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha. It was a sweeping movement of humanity all heading south, facing an equal throng moving north like a river entering the ocean with oncoming waves.
Sabin, our guide from Maiti Nepal, looked at the mess with disdain. With a wave of his hand, he said "Do you see why it is so easy to traffic girls?" It was very easy to see.
Heartbreaking Tragedy
I was leading a group of six travelers on a Crooked Trails donor trip to bear witness to the work of Maiti Nepal in its fight against human trafficking. Founded by Anuradha Koirala 20 years ago, Maiti Nepal has helped rescue or prevent the trafficking of over 20,000 girls.
The heartbreaking tragedy of human trafficking is enormous in Nepal, which suffers from poverty and illiteracy, making its girls such easy prey for traffickers. How many Nepali girls lose their hopes and lives after being sold into sexual slavery each year? No one knows the exact number. Indian officials estimate there are 75,000-150,000 Nepali girls in Indian brothels today. Maiti Nepal has staff at nine border crossings, where it intercepts an average of 2,500 girls a year. Given the total of 23 official open borders and literally hundreds of others, the real number is hard to imagine, with conservative estimates at 40,000 girls a year. That's 40,000 lost, tortured souls and shattered families.
Many girls that were trafficked, sold and living in sexual slavery – serving up to 30 men a night – have been rescued by Maiti Nepal. It was some of these heroic girls whom we watched screening all the traffic as it passed. They were stationed in a brightly painted blue booth about the size of an espresso hut in America. With the support of both Nepalese and Indian police, these girls, working in pairs, stopped busses and looked for girls being trafficked. Having been trafficked themselves, they have eyes and understanding that no one else does.
A Long Road to Recovery
What happens to the girls they intercept? Maiti Nepal helps them find and reunite with their families. If the girls cannot go back to their families, they are brought to the main rehabilitation center in Kathmandu for school and training. The center can and does house over 500 young people.
For girls that are rescued from brothels or slavery, the road to recovery can be long. Earlier in the day, we had visited a Maiti Nepal transit home to which girls are bought when they first return to Nepal after rescue. One eight-year-old girl had burns all over her from her "owners" who had tortured her since she was six. She was so sweet it brought tears to our eyes. How could anyone do this to another human being? Another young woman of just 18 had been sold into slavery by her husband.
For these young women, it takes time to recover, as the Maiti Nepal staff needs to determine what kinds of medical, psychological and legal help are needed. After evaluation, all that help is provided by Maiti Nepal staff doctors, psychologists, therapists and lawyers. The Maiti Nepal girls/staff we met were at the forefront of not only stopping trafficking, but were helping to heal the wounds of injustice they survived by preventing harm from coming to others.
Trafficking Awareness Day
After a day at the border, we spent time following the Maiti Nepal staff on an awareness day that included door-to-door talks and street theater. The day began as we loaded into buses: one with soldiers and police, one for Maiti Nepal girls and staff, and one for our group. We drove an hour southeast of town to an area occupied by landless people. It had grown into a sprawling village and, as a places where jobs are hard to come by and people cannot grow food, it was atypical of communities where traffickers prey on the helpless.
We walked around the village plastering posters on walls, talking to the villagers and handing out pamphlets with drawings clearly explaining situations of which to be wary. Many women in Nepal cannot read, so these easily understood drawings made sense to all.
I was touched by the sincerity with which the Nepalese army did its job. I followed one tall, handsome soldier as he walked up to a straw-and-mud hut and inquired, "Didi?" meaning, big sister. A mother emerged with her two little daughters hiding behind her sari. The soldier smiled at the girls and spoke calmly to the woman. He handed the two brown-eyed girls some sweets and then we were off to the next home.
Street Theater in Action
After canvassing the area, we went to the center of town where a crowd of 200 people had gathered, drawn by loudspeakers on the buses announcing a free show. After a few formal introductions, the Maiti Nepal girls dressed for their parts and acted out a typical trafficking scene. They had the crowd in fits of laughter as one young girl played a drunkard father. The crowd was also moved by the very realistic tears of the young actress who was rescued after her time in a brothel and reunited with her mother.
I had heard of street theater before, and its very successful shows about AIDS and other global health issues, but I had never seen it in action. I was as moved by the performance, as well as the crowd's reactions. All were riveted. So was I. In a small town where a movie outing to the nearby city might happen only a handful of times in one's life, if at all, street theater was real and exciting.
With Maiti Nepal it was also educational. It would be difficult to estimate the number of girls that have not been trafficked because someone saw one of these performances. But with the increased awareness of Maiti Nepal's prevention efforts and its ever-growing global and local support, I can only believe it is in the thousands.
A David-and-Goliath Battle
The fight against human trafficking often feels like a David-and-Goliath type of battle. The profits are so huge on one side, but the desire to protect innocent girls is even stronger. As Anurahda, the founder, always says: "How hard would you fight if it was your girl?" I know my answer.
The generosity of this Crooked Trails group, and in particular one woman – who wanted to do something significant for her 50th birthday celebration – was outstanding. We raised over US$60,000 to support the work of Maiti Nepal, fighting one of the world's worst crimes.
Want to help? With the rehabilitation center that houses, clothes, educates and trains over 500 children, not to mention three prevention schools and 11 border crossings, there is great need.
Please donate to this fundraiser in support of the work of Maiti Nepal, which rescues girls from the brothels of India and brings them back to Nepal. There are often as many as 500 girls in Maiti Nepal's care, but it receives no assistance from the Nepalese government, which would prefer not to admit that sex trafficking occurs. All support, which keeps the girls fed, housed, loved and healthy, comes from donors. Maiti Nepal has a strong border-prevention program and prevents thousands of girls a year from being trafficked each year. All donations are tax deductible.

In One Year Home by Marie Force, When Navy SEAL Captain John West was deployed for an unknown length of time to bring down a terrorist half a world away, he couldn't tell his then-girlfriend Ava anything about it or risk his career. Six years later, John is home, but has lost damn near everything–even though his mission was a success. Deemed a hero, he's at a loss as to how to carry forward without his Ava, let alone after losing part of his leg in the mission. John's life gets increasingly complicated with the media clamoring after him, so he takes Ava's suggestion and hires her new sister-in-law, a PR specialist, to help. Talk about awkward. But after some tense moments to begin with, John is in awe of Julianne Tilden's professionalism–and her refusal to take his crap. It's when his feelings begin to get more personal in nature that he knows they're in for a wild ride. One he's not sure either of them are ready for.
'I gave more than six years and half a leg to bringing a ruthless terrorist to justice, and what do I get as a thank-you? The rest of my life without the only woman I've ever loved.'
Julianne wasn't quite sure what to expect when she agreed to work with John, but she knows it will it be a huge boost to her career. She's also honored to get to work for a hero who sacrificed everything for his country. Although she's surprised by how cranky and resentful he is at first. Jules knows that if he wants to go on a media tour, he's going to have to come out of his funk and prepare for the onslaught. She eventually gets through to John that she's there to help him, not make his life more difficult. But as she begins to see a whole other side to him, the wonderfully charming, kind man who Ava fell in love with years ago, she's pretty sure she's heading down the same path. And given their convoluted lives, with her brother Eric now being married to Ava, Jules will have to be sure of her feelings before she decides to give things a try with John, knowing the backlash it will cause.
'I want him to go back to being an asshole. I could handle that guy. This guy…I'm utterly defenseless against the humble, vulnerable, wounded warrior who's slowly but surely wrapping himself around my heart.'
Simply put: One Year Home made my heart happy. Through all of the ups and downs, angst and darkness, unexpected love and insurmountable odds, this powerful novel pulled at my heartstrings and left me breathless.
"Before I met you, I was drowning. Since I met you, I feel alive again, and the only thing that's changed is *you*. You showed up and made everything better. Can you blame me for wanting more of the person who did that for me?"
I have been waiting for this sequel since reading Five Years Gone–which, by the way, broke my heart into pieces and put it back together by the end. The setup for One Year Home, just knowing that wounded warrior John would have an incredible amount of healing to do: physically, emotionally, and mentally…well, I knew this would be a tough book to get through. But also knowing Marie Force's emotionally-driven writing, I knew it would be meaningful and worth every tear shed. And it so was.
The complexity of the situation John, Julianne, Ava, and Eric found themselves in made for a page-turning experience. Particularly since it was told from all four alternating perspectives. There's something about how genuine Marie Force creates her characters that makes me want to root for each and every one of them, so in this case it was tough to see how she would make it all work out for them. Because, seriously. This was one mixed up, tangled mess. It seemed there was no way everyone would have a HEA–but trust Force and her process. It *did* happen and in a way that was fitting and seemed realistic as well.
Now, I have to say, John West…oh my goodness, what a terrific guy he was. Completely fallible but still utterly heroic, he's the kind of character I simply can't resist–and I couldn't help but cheer him on through every obstacle he faced. His struggles will be difficult for some sensitive readers, as we found John in a very, very dark place at the beginning of this novel. And it took some time for him to come to terms with his new reality. But watching how strong he was in so many ways was inspiring, and I loved how Force showed all the aspects of his journey, whether he was triumphant or in the depths of despair.
Our sweetheart of a heroine Julianne, or Jules to friends/family, really impressed me. She was a bit of a people-pleaser and was super compassionate and exceedingly giving. However she did have a steel backbone, which showed when she met John and he gave her attitude right away. I loved that!! Jules didn't back down and that was the start of it all for them. She used just the right mix of gentleness and tough love tactics with him to be supportive without coddling him and I think John appreciated Jules for it. She made a couple of choices toward the end that might seem rather quick to some readers, but I think if you take into account everything they both had been through in their lives–plus the fishbowl they found themselves in with his media tour–I think Jules and John followed their own unique path perfectly and I applaud them for it.
One Year Home was a prime example of Marie Force's realistic characters and compelling storytelling. An important novel about healing, inner strength and conviction, loss and new beginnings, I think readers will be impressed with this poignant story.
Book Info:
Publication: Published August 6th 2019 | HTJB, Inc. |
He came home a hero and lost the only woman he's ever loved…
I have no idea how to survive without my beloved Ava. She had no choice but to move on with her life during my six-year deployment and has now married Eric. I hate him for taking her from me. I'd prefer to wallow in my depression and heartbreak, but the whole damned world wants a piece of the SEAL Team leader who helped capture the world's most-wanted terrorist. I need help handling the relentless requests, and when Ava sends her new sister-in-law to manage the media circus for me, I'm prepared to hate her on principle. Her brother took my Ava. What else do I need to know about her?
It takes five seconds to realize Ava's ex is going to be the most complicated and difficult client I've ever had, but the opportunity to represent the most celebrated man in the world could make my career. I'm determined to do the job, even if I dislike John from the moment I meet him. And I like everyone. So much so that my brothers worry about me being exploited by those who would take advantage of my unwavering love for others. But John… He's in a class by himself, and his bitterness is a festering wound that I begin to wish I could somehow fix for him. The more time we spend together, the more our mutual disdain morphs into something that feels an awful lot like desire. There's no way I can want this man, or so I tell myself, and when Eric finds out I've developed feelings for the man causing trouble in his new marriage, well…
That's going to be a hot mess.
The hotly anticipated follow up to Five Years Gone is here!

Hike to Overall Run Falls
6.1 miles 1700 ft gain - Out-and-Back Trail
Added by Elyse Clark
This is the tallest waterfall (93 ft) in Shenandoah National Park, but also has great views west towards Massanutten mountain.
Start at the Hogback parking lot at MP 21.1 on the Skyline Drive. Take the Appalachian Trail south for 0.8 miles, and turn right onto the Tuscarora-Overall Run Trail. After 0.5 miles you will come to another intersection-keep right to stay on the Tuscarora-Overall Run Trail. A final intersection with the Mathews Arm Trail is after another 1.3 miles. Keep right at this intersection.
The waterfall will be 0.5 miles after the last intersection. There are multiple viewpoints of the falls and plenty of room to spread out. There are also great views to the west so you get a waterfall and a view at the same time.
Keep in mind the waterfall is on a small stream and will have less water in the summer/fall, and might also be partially blocked by trees, so try to hike it in winter or early spring. Even if water levels are low, the view to the west is still well worth the hike.
Once finished viewing the falls, retrace your steps back to your car by keeping left at all trail intersections. The falls can also be hiked if camping at Mathews Arm Campground and a good trail map for the hike can be found here: https://www.nps.gov/shen/upload/Overall-Run.pdf.

Excellent hike!
Very difficult hike (especially from the bottom up) but what a view! Just an FYI: The park fee is always required even when parking outside of the park.

Awesome Hike
Oh man! Made a wrong turn somewhere and it turned into a 12 mile hike! The hike to the top was in the woods with no scenery so it was incredibly repetitive. But the summit WAS beautiful and the falls were tall and magnificent. If you want to avoid the park entrance fee, you can park for free on VA630 and do the hike bottom to top (instead of top to bottom on skyline drive). There is a "secret" locals spot about a mile in -- a multi-level swimming hole (2-3 pools!) perfect for a picnic or a dip!

Her Husband Jason is a flooring specialist, a handyman par excellence, and the perfect project manager for anything which needs doing around the house. It's inevitable when styling, working on, or upgrading your home that builder / handyman – type upgrade or change work needs doing too. The beauty of engaging Mel is that you also get the bonus of Jason. Mel and Jason are a unique one stop shop for everything both practical and stylish in relation to your home. Hire them, enjoy the process because they are so easy and fun to work with, and marvel at the results."
Jeremy, Gold Coast QLD
"Mel from MH interior Design has been amazing to work with, she made things run smoothly, the designs she came up with are beautiful and really help my family to create the lifestyle of our dreams. Mel took the time to work with my whole family so that the kids rooms not only look great to Mum but they love them even more and want to keep them clean! Plus my husband who has no clue about interior design loves what we have achieved. Mel works wonderfully with everyone from the trades people needed to the suppliers and our family. The floors we had installed by Jason are amazing and Mel even coordinated Jason to work around our injured daughter and our in-home business meetings. I have renovated three houses now and Mel made this renovation the most fun, quick, cost effective and easy one l have ever done, this is where Mel's experience in this industry shines. We can't thank Mel enough for all her beautiful work. I am looking forward to working with Mel again when we start on our landscaping project"

"Relocating from London to Southport and all that entailed was going to be a big enough job, but adding into the mix having to fully furnish and update a 5 bedroom home at the same time (whilst working full time) was going to be too much for us to handle. With this in mind, we brought Mel of MH Interior Design on board to help us with a full interior design, furnishing, renovation update, and co-ordination of deliveries to help make our move as seamless as possible. Needless to say, we have been nothing short of amazed and impressed Mel's flair and creative talent combined with an assiduous attention to detail and meticulous organisational skills. She has been in almost daily contact since being provided with the brief and has consistently delivered. Mel has easily gone above and beyond in her desire to achieve the best outcome for us and she has exceeded all expectations. Mel also gets the balance right in taking on board the client's tastes and what they want whilst also being able to gently suggest more appropriate alternatives when we go slightly off-piste. Having Mel has changed what would ordinarily be something quite stressful into something to be enjoyed and looked forward to. We can't wait to move into our new home which we know she will make absolutely beautiful for us! Highly recommend!"
Rosie, Southport, Gold Coast QLD
"My husband and I wanted to create a space off our kitchen that would accommodate a laundry and also be a butlers pantry, it was important to get it right as we also want to renovate our kitchen at a later time. We knew what we wanted to achieve but we were not sure how to start and knew if we made a mistake with the design it would impact later on the kitchen. At the same time we were doing the pantry we decided to renovate the main bathroom as they share a common wall. It was a lot to think about. We made a very good decision when we bought MH Interior Design on board.
We gave Mel a brief of the things that were most important to us, her attention to detail was wonderful. Mel helped us source everything from builders and trades people to tiles and electrical appliances. She was constantly in touch and always available to answer our questions. The design she created allowed for the new pantry area to be a beautiful space with maximum storage and functionality, we even managed to fit in a new linen cupboard. The bathroom has been transformed. Both areas were designed by Mel, we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Our next project will be our kitchen renovation and we would not hesitate to have Mel create the design. "

« Health-Care Ruling Affects Students, Adults With Disabilities | Main | Even in 'Mean' Schools, Teams With Students With Disabilities Thrive »
'Least-Restrictive Environment' Must Be Considered at Workplace, Too
Too often, when students with disabilities are moving from school to the workplace—a phase typically called transition—some of the basic tenets of the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act are ignored, said Jeff Spitzer-Resnick, managing attorney for Disability Rights Wisconsin.
That includes being placed in the least restrictive environment—in other words, with nondisabled peers to the extent possible.
"We have long been concerned that children with disabilities in general were not getting what they needed in transition," he said. For too long, "transition" meant a pipeline to work in a segregated environment, often at so-called sheltered workshops, which typically pay less than minimum wage, he said, "without any real conversation about whether this was appropriate. What about a job coach? What about assistive technology? [These are] all the things they consider for the classroom environment?
While the problem is a stubborn one, in part because work options in some communities are limited in general and in part because of a lack of teacher training about transition, Spitzer-Resnick said there's hope.
A letter from the U.S. Department of Education to his organization last month about this issue emphasizes that the tenets of IDEA do apply to transition.
Melody Musgrove, director of the Office for Special Education Programs, said that if a school district decides that gaining work experience is the logical next step for a particular student, the least-restrictive-environment tenets of the IDEA apply. They don't preclude a segregated work setting—some students with disabilities are taught in segregated settings, away from students without disabilities, Musgrove wrote. But deciding on that placement should be discussed beforehand.
In other words, schools must consider whether these students could thrive in a more inclusive setting with the right supports.
Spitzer-Resnick said these conversations must happen more often, because often for students with disabilities, especially severe disabilities, the job they get after high school is the job they have for the rest of their lives.
Otherwise, while a lot has been done to improve the education of students with disabilities, serve them more inclusively at school, and demand more of them academically, that effort may be going to waste.
"It is clearly the IDEA's goal that children get an education so they can lead a productive adult life," he said. "If we are doing a good job in the earlier years... and we end like this, what a waste of resources."
The letter said that in statistics about students reported to the federal government about the integration of students with disabilities, states must count students placed in segregated work settings in those numbers, too, something Spitzer-Resnick said he doesn't think is happening often enough now.
"This letter a step in the right direction...to solve this problem," he said.

(CBS) — An Aurora shotput coach hit in the head by one of the 12 pound steel balls at a track meet in Elgin last Friday may go home from the hospital soon.
Coach Ed DeGeeter from Marmion Academy, who was critically injured, talked with CBS 2's Roseanne Tellez in this Original Report.
He's bruised and bandaged, with a fractured skull. But the coach is lucky to be alive.
"I was off to the side sector when a kid tossed. The shot put came off at an odd angle and hit me in the head," said DeGeeter. "Next thing I know I'm in the hospital… in the ICU"
DeGeeter doesn't remember anything else, but others who were there do.
There was a lot of panic because the 12 pound steel balls, used in war in ancient times, can be deadly.
Schaumburg High School student Armando Arrellanos said it was "frightening" and that DeGeeter "had to be a tough guy."
The tough guy has a soft spot for the kid who threw the errant shot.
"It's devastating probably for him, hitting somebody. Unfortunately he didn't finish the competition, which I feel real bad about," said DeGeeter.
DeGeeter hopes that young man gets back into the swing of things as quickly as he hopes to.
He says he still needs another MRI and some vision testing but is hoping to be released from the hospital Wednesday.

Art Gallery
We were very lucky to have an art company 'Art Solutions' visit our school for two days and during this time they taught us how to create exciting 3D collages.
Once children had mastered the basic techniques (making pebbles, sausages and twists) they were able to produce their own creations.
The main material used was old newspaper, so projects were cost effective and eco-friendly. Other materials used include tissue paper, water, glue and occasionally paint.
When all the individual pieces of work were finished, they were made into several displays, so that pupils, teachers and parents could admire and appreciate all the hard work that all pupils and helpers put in over the two days.
I am sure you will agree they look FANTASTIC!

Please see the Calendar for All Events and Coffee Mornings
Canopies and Glazed Extensionson Commercial Forecourts
This is the title of the recent Design Note prepared by Fylde Borough Council at the request of the Councillors. The Civic Society had also asked for this. The note sets out the criteria for acceptable design within our town centres and is a response to the ever increasing number of glazed extensions and verandahs which are appearing in the Lytham Town Centre Conservation Area.
There have been three recent applications, one at the former Royal Bank of Scotland now known as The Deacon, one at Farina on Clifton Street and the latest at the former Nat West Bank on Dicconson Terrace. The Deacon is fully operational and the planning refusal is currently the subject of an appeal. Unfortunately, the Design Note was not in place when either the application or the appeal were lodged; indeed it has only now completed its consultation period!
This glazed extension is large and obtrusive. It is constructed using a black powder coated aluminium structure and, above all, it is raised about half a metre off the ground on a plinth. It dominates that corner of the square and obscures the street level facade. In addition there is an extensive seating area outside on the 'private' frontage. This area is sectioned off using raised planters and prevents the free flow of pedestrian movement. This extension is the subject of a current planning appeal.
Work is now underway on the adjacent building Bank House and, again, a substantial raised plinth has been constructed. In between, a poor lime tree is struggling to find air! There is planning permission here for a raised plinth and balustrade only.
Adjacent to Bank House the canopy and balustrading at Spago are the subject of an appeal against an enforcement notice served by Fylde Borough Council.
Finally, Farina on Clifton Street now has a timber verandah with a glazed roof. This is at least at pavement level but does not comply with the application which was for an aluminium structure. Furthermore, its sides are completely enclosed by boxed planters.
Both of the conservatories and the verandah hinder the free circulation of pedestrians on the private frontages. They are all different and it is difficult to see how they respect the architecture of the buildings they front.
Of course, we have had a wonderful summer and all these facilities have been humming with activity, particularly at night. Somewhere in all of this there has to be a balance; we do not want planning restrictions to stifle enterprise but there needs to be what we have always seen as 'good manners' and 'neighbourliness' in our sensitive, historic town centres.
The Mussel Tank Project 2017-2018 Sue Cornah
This has been the year in which the Mussel Tank Project has come to fruition. Despite a difficult start and protracted negotiations construction began on site in September 2017. Since the last Annual Report we are happy to announce that the site is complete; all we need now is a Grand Opening!
As we have discussed in our many newsletter articles Fylde Borough Council have acted as our accountable body and thus enabled us to avoid the VAT element. At this point I would like to thank in particular Darren Bell, Andrew Lloyd and Jon Rutter from Fylde Borough Council for their assistance during the build.
The site has been in use by the general public for some months now and we are pleased to see a wide range of users, including young children on their scooters and elderly people enjoying the views and the wonderful weather we have been having. However, we are not happy to see the skateboarders! They are damaging the edges of the precast concrete planting beds and we are now in the process of providing slatted seating along this edge to deter them.
We are delighted with the outcome of the design and the calm environment which it provides. The patterning in the blockwork mirrors the historic images of the Mussel Tanks in use and adds interest in an informal way. We would like to thank Tom Hollick and his team from BCA Landscape for all their efforts during this process.
The planting, funded by ourselves but undertaken by Lytham in Bloom, is a great success and was recently part of their submission for the Annual 'in Bloom' awards. Let us hope they are successful!
We have at last had the tiles, made by the Lytham Sixth Form College, installed and we hope everyone agrees that these are a delight and add interest to the site. The Mussel sculpture sponsored by the Ribble Rivers Trust is also a great attraction. We also now have a railing alongside the ramp as officers at Fylde Borough Council felt this area was unsafe. This has been funded by them and we are grateful for this. It adds to the character of the area by featuring a cut-out mussel pattern and the years within which the tank was in full operation.
The final process we are undertaking is the production of an acknowledgement board and interpretation boards. The latter two will explain the history of the site and the historical setting. The plan is now to make these out of bronze for longevity.
All we need to do now is to plan a Grand Opening to make the people of the Borough aware of this project, which is the largest the Civic Society has ever undertaken.
Members, who were joined by an additional walking group, enjoyed a guided tour on 21st June led by Jon Harrison, Chairman of the Friends of Ashton Gardens. He gave us a short history of the Gardens, explaining how Lord Ashton from Lancaster came to be involved at the turn of the century in the development of the town.
We started the walk from the cafe on the site of the original Ashton Theatre which burnt down in the seventies. We could see the garden was very well-cared for, stopping to learn about the former nursery on the site which had been an important aspect of the gardens. Plants were grown here for the many beautiful garden beds in the town. The mature water features at the Beach Road side of the park were most impressive, especially surrounded by grand, period Porritt houses. These houses were built for wealthy business men from Manchester, East Lancashire and beyond.
We walked through the former Japanese Gardens and then, thanks to a generous Heritage Lottery funding, Jon showed us the beautiful newly restored rose gardens which includes an impressive memorial plaque commemorating Lord Ashton. The War Memorial was designed by Walter Marsden in 1924.
From there we walked down through the tree-lined driveway to view the decorative iron gates at the main entrance on Clifton Drive. We would like to thank Jon Harrison for his time. We all enjoyed this interesting walk in the gardens ending with refreshment at the gardens ending with refreshment at the Pavilion Cafe.
CIVIC VOICE AGM 19th/20th October in Birmingham
Help is needed for litter pickers in the wood. At the moment we only have six . The recommended equipment required is a carrier bag and gloves. A high-viz jacket and grabber will be provided. Volunteers would have an allocated week and just do one day of that week, whichever is convenient for them. We are also still looking for volunteers to work on maintenance in the wood. Please think about getting involved and ring Mike Barden
on 01253 711404 who would be delighted to hear from you.
The work at Church Scar is progressing well and the installation of the new promenade commenced in August 2018. They are now ready to begin the site set up for Phase 2 of the work at Fairhaven, ready for the main construction work to begin in September 2018. For further details the Customer Centre at Fairlawn Road is open Monday – Thursday 1.00pm – 4.30pm where you will be able to view aerial photographs for Phase 1 of the works and plans for Phase 2 at Fairhaven.
Archaeology Dig at Fairhaven Lake
Fylde Borough Council is in the developing stage of a Heritage Lottery project to restore Fairhaven Lake. The Japanese garden is a key heritage feature from Mawsons 1923 design that has been lost over the years and it is Fylde Borough Council's ambition to restore the garden to its former glory. They have the original plans but had no information about what still existed under the surface. Recently, the archaeology team did a number of test trenches to see what was underneath; they were going to close them up ready for full restoration. Volunteers worked incredibly hard to complete the trenches and were all delighted that all of the original stonework was still in situ and in such a highly preserved condition: So much so that they couldn't bear to cover them back over! They decided that, for the time being, the stones would be landscaped into the park to leave them exposed, but safe. Hopefully there will be full restoration next year.
