Charlotte REIA is excited to announce that Tom DiAgostino will be our special guest trainer this month on Thursday, October 3rd at 6PM at the Hyatt Place Charotte/Arrowood located at 7900 Forest Point Blvd in Charlotte, NC. Tom will be teaching us "How to Create a Cash Flow Fortune with Tax Sales", a real estate niche that most investors know nothing about. Join us at the meeting and you will learn…
- Why auctions are not the answer, and the secret to making maximum interest
- How to make easy 18-36% returns without owning real estate, but enjoying its security
- Where to tap into the most motivated sellers on the planet with the LEAST Competition

- How we make our staff available to do it for you if you wish
Tom says… "Regardless of your experience or location, you can earn unthinkable interest, or find unbelievable deals to wholesale, flip, or partner on. Even Homer Simpson can do what I am going to teach you. I mean deals at 10-30% of repaired value."
"I've been around the block for 21 years and done it all. This is not the flavor of the week. This training will change your financial life, and your generations to come.

WEST ORANGE, NJ - Pastor Terry A. Smith of the Life Christian Church, located at 747 Northfield Avenue, Live Ten:
Jump Start the Best Version of Your Life
West Orange, NJ pastor Terry A. Smith calls readers to live a life worthy of being called a "ten"
On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your life?
If you didn't answer "ten," you're missing out. Missing out on the beautiful and exceptional life God has set aside just for you.
In his new book Live Ten: Jump Start the Best Version of Your Life, Pastor Terry A. Smith powerfully challenges readers to pursue a life that's extraordinary.
We don't have to settle for less.
We don't have to accept average.
There is much more to life than playing it safe.
A prominent opinion piece once said that most of our problems result from wanting too much. Smith says he couldn't agree less. He claims that people should want more.
"Not more stuff," he writes. "More life. And not just for ourselves but also for others. "
Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker said, "If you are as passionate as I am about creating a better world, than this book will instruct and inspire you. Terry's ideas have motivated and helped me."
Live Ten speaks powerfully to the "area of destiny," meaning individuals can achieve seemingly impossible things, but only within God's plan for their lives. It's a concept that readers will find both empowering and freeing.
Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch and his wife Suzy, former editor of the Harvard Business Review and best–selling author of
10-10-10, speak highly of this concept.
"Terry Smith's Live Ten introduces the concept of 'Area of Destiny' – one of the best tools for career and life planning I've ever encountered," said Suzy Welch. "This robust, practical book can change your life!"
Throughout the pages of Live Ten, Terry will encourage you to go after the "more and better" that God wants for your life.
"I may even try to provoke you a little, if you'll let me," he writes. "This world needs people who want more than nice little lives. This world needs people who care. People who want something great. People who are willing to go after it."
God has an audacious adventure waiting for you.
Don't miss it!
Terry A. Smith has served as Lead Pastor of The Life Christian Church for over twenty-one years. TLCC - a non-denominational faith community in West Orange, NJ – is known for its vibrant diversity with people from over 135 communities in the NYC Metro area participating in the life of the church.
Terry is a cofounder of the New York City Leadership Center and an instructor in its Leadership Fellows program. A gifted communicator, Terry speaks in a variety of venues nationally and internationally. He holds a bachelor of science in organizational management and master of arts in organizational leadership.
Terry has been married to his wife, Sharon, for more than 30 years, and they have three adult children: Sumerr, Caleb, and Christian.

Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb Recipe
1 rack of lamb cut in half (3 bones per serving)
For the crust
4 slices of stale bread made into crumbs.
Small bunch or parsley
4 Sprigs of thyme
2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
Crispy Potato Rosti
1 large baking potato
3 tbsp camelina oil
Sea salt
Red Wine Sauce
4tbsps balsamic vinegar
150ml red wine
1tsp light brown sugar
150ml beef or lamb stock
1tsp fresh thyme leaves
Cornflour for thickening mixed with water
Why not slice up 2 heads of little gem lettuce thinly and sauteed off in some oil for 2-3 minutes in a saucepan until wilted and season with seasalt to taste. You can serve your lamb on top of this.
For the lamb
Place lamb on a chopping board fat side up. Lightly score the fat layer with a sharp knife. Next, generously sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper. Mop up the excess seasoning with the rack of lamb, ensuring it's thoroughly coated.
Heat some oil in a frying pan. Seal the lamb by placing each side in the oil long enough to develop colour. It's simple, no colour, equals no taste. Make sure you brown the lamb.
Transfer the lamb into a preheated oven at 190oC and bake for 7-8 minutes. Prepare the crust while the lamb is cooking.
Place all of the ingredients for the crust except the mustard into a blender and pulse several times until it looks nice and green. Pour the mixture into a deep dish (bowl or plate) and set aside.
Remove the lamb from the oven and brush generously with mustard. Dip the lamb into the crust mixture coating it completely. Dip several times to ensure an even coating. Allow meat to rest for a bit.
Place it back into the oven for 3-4 minutes when you're ready to serve. Slice through each chop once ready. Best served pink.
For the Rosti
Peel the potato, then grate the flesh using the coarse side of a grater, a mandolin or a Benriner
mandolin slicer, which I find is the best of all Squeeze out all the excess water and place the
grated potato in a bowl, then season with salt.
Heat 4 x 10cm (4in) blini pans (or use a straight-sided cutter placed on a frying pan). Add a
good film of oil to the pan. Divide the potato mixture into 4 portions and using 2 forks,
spread each portion evenly into the pans, separating out the strands of potatoes. Cook over a
low heat for 5–6 minutes, until golden brown, turning regularly and using the forks to
separate out the strands as necessary.
For the Sauce
Heat a small pan and pour in the vinegar and red wine. Boil until reduced by half and then add the sugar, stock and thyme and reduce to a sauce consistency which should coat the back of a spoon. Thicken if needed with cornflour and keep warm until serving
Serve it all up on a nice plate with the little gem it you are using, the rack of lamb on top, lean the rostie on the lamb and then spoon over that amazing sauce.
Why not watch how to make it over here 🙂

Went to Harajuku to meet with another friend of Dave! This time we did all the Takeshita street ahahhaha so many crepes shop!! And clothing shops of course. We didn't really stopped at any shops, Dave's friend knew a good restaurant a little further so we went there. After eating, we went back to get a crepe and it was good! We then headed to Nakano Broadway, a real gem for any otaku. Unfortunately, Dave's friend couldn't stay long with us because she had work so she left us there. Dave finally found Archer's figurine by Good Smile Company! After hours of looking for it in Akihabara, we found it at Nakano XD
I think Nakano Broadway is better than Akihabara when it comes to location. Every figurine shops are in one big mall so it's easy to find. In Akihabara, you really have to know the place to find one specific item and you can easily get lost too! So for figurines, I'd recommend Nakano Broadway ^__^

text: I was in Tiwanaku in November 2007. I went with high expectations, I had read a lot about the sun gate and the Inca rituals which used to be performed at the site. I was stopping in La Paz, and I went with two friends who lived there temporarily. We drove, leaving the Alto was difficult, but once we found our way it was a lot easier. Upon entering, we found a sign that said: "The capital of Tiwanaku empire in classical times was a densely centralised state controlled by top artisans and farmers who supplied a variety of products harvested from different ecological countries." They are still excavating, and I watched how women perform the tasks that are more suitable for men.

This course is designed for personnel involved in CRO / vendor oversight in the Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Animal Health and Medical Device Industries including those working in Clinical Research, Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance, Manufacturing, Clinical Outsourcing, Contracts, Quality, Clinical Operations, Vendor Management, Global QA / Compliance and also CRO / vendor / Consultant personnel. Outsourcing, Purchasing, Finance and Contract Management staff who participate in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process will find this course a valuable introduction or refresher course focusing on best practice. VPs, Directors, Managers and other personnel involved in selecting and managing CROs/Vendors will also benefit from this course. This course will also help professionals from CROs/Vendors/Consultants to work more successfully with Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology and Medical Device companies through gaining a much clearer understanding of their needs when outsourcing.
Course Overview
This workshop is specifically designed for sponsoring pharma companies who are outsourcing critical practices to improve productivity. It will help you get to grips with effective CROs/Vendors management used in the pharma industry and your responsibilities as the sponsor. It will also show you how to clarify roles and responsibilities, focus on oversight preparation and planning. Most importantly it offers an in-depth insight into CROperformance measurement including metrics and key performance indicators.
Why you should attend
With Regulatory Inspectors increasingly finding issues with vendor oversight by sponsor organisations, it is becoming increasingly important for the pharmaceutical industry to employ efficient and accurate strategies for managing outsourced activities. A company's ability to identify and select the right CRO / vendor for the right project and manage them efficiently and effectively will help to ensure compliance with the Regulator's expectations.
On this course you will learn how to prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP), evaluate and select the right CRO and establish procedures for vendor oversight for R & D projects you need to outsource. You will also cover the techniques for successfully managing CROs / vendors and the shared responsibilities required by the sponsor and the service provider. Managing CRO performance issues will also be discussed.
The course is equally useful to CROs / other vendors and consultants to understand how to work effectively with sponsor organisations.

When people ask about veganism, almost 100 percent of the time those questions and concerns are around the stigma of a plant-based diet not being healthy. Concerns include the assumption that it restricts your body so you become weak because of only eating plants.
Other assumptions are that us vegans don't get protein, calcium or iron, and that vegans are depriving their body of nutrients. Some people think we can't eat anything, so we always are hungry.
But. that is the biggest misconception that people have about veganism. In fact, it is actually the polar opposite. To build my understanding and have a credible source of information for you, I interviewed Jerry Casados, a plant-based nutritionist in Aurora.
Casados is a Nutrition Therapy Practitioner (NTP). Jerry received his NTP certification from Nutrition Therapy Institute in Denver (one of the nation's leading private nutrition schools), and is a certified instructor for Dr. John McDougall's Starch Solution Program.
Casados is owner and founder of Plant-Based Nutrition and Lifestyle, a nutrition therapy consulting practice specializing in whole food, plant-based nutrition as an approach to benefit health goals and objectives with a nutrient-dense, balanced, health-promoting diet and lifestyle.
Let's start off with the age old question of where vegans get their protein.
"This idea of vegans being protein deficient is a myth," Casados said. "Plants have complete amino acids, and people have this misconception that we need to each so much protein. But, in reality we don't need as much as people are getting."
Are animal nutrients superior to plant nutrients?
"Plant nutrients are superior because when you eat plants, your body intakes fiber, carbs, calcium, vitamins," Casados said. "With animal-based foods, you will get some nutrients but you don't get all the vitamins, and thus it is a less superior option."
Why aren't more people vegan?
"People have a hard time making a lifestyle change. People also get the wrong information on what we eat — that meat, dairy, and eggs are good for you," he said. "Also, our culture is another reason. Not a lot of our friends are eating this way. People are in the mindset that they will not get enough nutrition with what they will eat, and the mindset of not getting to eat enough to be full."
What are the health benefits of being vegan?
"There are many, including natural weight loss, low blood pressure, low cholesterol, prevention and reversal of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease," Casados explained. "You have more energy, better blood, and your body starts healing itself. Doctors can fix one thing, but your body fixes more."
What are the health costs of eating animal products?
"You intake saturated fats, and chronic disease and Type 2 diabetes can stem from these foods. Your health care and health costs go up because so many people are sick from their diet," he said. "Your health care costs can go down 40 percent with a plant-based diet."
Why did you become vegan?
"My health. Ten years ago, I was in a place where I had heart disease. I researched heart disease and changed my diet to a vegan one," Casados said. "I got off all my heart disease medication. I lost 35 pounds, and now I am the healthiest I have ever been because my body healed itself with the right foods."
What are difficulties being vegan?
"Adjusting to a new lifestyle, and eating out can be hard at first, as well as eating in social settings," he said. "In addition, standing for something different that questions other people's choices (can be awkward). I usually eat before social gatherings."
What are some common myths about being vegan as far as health concerns go?
"Not getting enough protein and calcium, being deficient in iron are the biggest, Casados explained. "And, not getting enough vitamin D. But, your body can easily intake it by just being outside in the sun for 20 minutes. Not getting all the nutrition we need is a big one that every vegan hears."
Do you need to take any supplements as a vegan?
"Only B12. We don't produce it, and people get it because it's in animal bacteria. I take mine once a week. Most doctors aren't trained in nutrition, so when you tell them you are vegan, they start to freak out and give you all these supplements. In reality, you don't need them because with the food you eat, you get enough protein, vitamin D, calcium, iron, etc."
I hope these frequently-asked questions answered by a certified nutritionist, opened your mind and/or informed you on my experience that veganism isn't a restrictive, unhealthy diet, but one that is a a diet/lifestyle on which your body will thrive. And, it has reversed chronic diseases.
Try swapping out your milk in your cereal for almond or soy milk, or getting extra veggies on your pizza instead of extra cheese and meat.
It could be the kick-start to your body healing itself.

I am thrilled that Dave Goldberg has decided to run for Falmouth Town Council. Dave's vision of and commitment to a bright future for Falmouth is self-evident.
In particular, Dave and I share a connection that is rooted in our commitment to investing in top-notch schools. Dave and I, as business owners, are acutely aware of the ties between great schools and a community's economic vitality.
We understand that our outstanding schools attract great families and these families, in turn, become invested in Falmouth and cultivate a sustainable, healthy, family-friendly environment for our citizens.
Furthermore, Dave's experience as a successful business owner makes him exactly the type of knowledgeable, practical, hardworking individual that the council needs to skillfully weigh the nuanced fiscal responsibilities required from our council members. I trust Dave to make fiscally sound, conscientious decisions that will protect key assets like schools while holding the line on taxes.

Suffering-Chaosatanas (Ep-2014)
Suffering brings back memories of the BM sound of the mid-nineties with this Ep. Perhaps they mix aggression with melancholy, the vocals shift between harsh screams and clear singing, although all of the latter aren't always totally successful. The songs found on this Ep offer interesting and varied material, but there's still some way to go before i'd like to hear an album with these guys. It'll be interesting to hear the progression of these maniacs from Poland!!

Shutter 0.80.1
Shutter allows you to take screenshots of the fullscreen, a specified window, a section of window or just a screen region. It will save all the screenshots taken in the current session and will allow you to either save them to the local hard drive, supporting many formats, including PNG and JPG, or to directly upload them to imageshack.us, imagebanana.com or ubuntu-pics.de. Even FTP uploads are alowed.
The nice powerful features of Shutter include the ability to edit and perform various effects on the screenshot. For example, some of the effects plugins it comes with are:
- 3D rotate, rotate the image offering a 3D effect
- negate, replaces every pixel with its complementary colour
- sepia, colour your screenshot using the sepia effect
- PDF export, to export your screenshot to PDF
And many more are available too. You can even print to PDF or PostScript, and Shutter will also allow taking screenshots of web pages.
The Preferences window will allow to customise various aspect of Shutter, like the name and format of the saved image, actions, capture delay (which is important if you want to take screenshots of menus), include or not window border, tray integration, global shortcut for taking screenshots in GNOME, upload services and plugins.
Shutter is an awesome tool, and if you take screenshots a lot, it will surely prove more useful than the default application GNOME comes with.

Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle
Sir Isteval
Isteval is a former adventurer and Purple Dragon
Knight of far-off Cormyr, living out his retirement in
Daggerford. Believing that the shining kingdom of
Cormyr was a lighthouse to the world, a shining example
of everything that a nation should be, he fought
boldly against the forces of chaos and evil wherever
they threatened the stability of his home realm.
As his power grew, he assembled several different
groups of like-minded adventurers to help spread the
vision of Cormyr's glory into the Western Heartlands.
His former companions are spread up and down the
Heartlands, from Cormyr to Baldur's Gate and the
Moonsea to Icewind Dale.
In a fateful battle against an ancient green dragon,
Isteval suffered a grievous wound to his leg that has
never fully healed. His wounded leg means that Isteval's
greatest quests now lie behind him, but he has
never lost his vision of a shining Cormyr that should
be, a beacon and bastion against encroaching darkness.
Isteval believes that Cormyr's greatest challenge
is fast approaching, and unless its scheming nobles
and corrupt knights and wizards can pull together in
unity, the nation is in danger of being conquered by
its enemies. Though he is no longer able to fight as he
did in his youth, Isteval seeks to bring together a new,
great company of brave souls to carry on his legacy, to
preserve his vision for future generations.
Isteval is technically a paladin of Amaunator, but
he views the god in an outmoded light as Lathander,
the god of dawn and new beginnings. In these days
of trials and chaos, Isteval sees the birth pangs of a
new age, and believes against all evidence and reason
that it will bring unprecedented peace and prosperity.
Though many trials yet lie ahead, he is convinced that
at the end of his journey is a far fairer place.
Isteval is slender and tawny-skinned with dark
brown hair salted with gray. He often still wears the
heavy plate armor of a knight, though his left leg is
braced and he carries a walking stick as well as his
greatsword. His armor is decorated with the holy
symbol of Lathander, which some members of the
church of Amaunator would consider heretical.

Attract Money Now by Dr. Joe Vitale(from the Secret) is an excellent book and it's absolutely free. It's a simple step-by-step formula to bring in more money to your life. Dr. Joe Vitale has also written other great books like Zero Limits and The Attractor Factor and he was one of the stars features in The Secret. The seven steps discussed in the book that I will overview here are: the importance of changing the way you think, the power of giving, "prosperous spending", asking for assistance and guidance, visualizing more money into your life, having the mindset of an entrepreneur, and having a big impact on the world around you.
In this article, I'll discuss the main takeaways from the books 7 steps and if you're interested in getting yourself a free copy of this book, I tell you where to find it at the bottom of the page. I also tell you where to find an excellent free teleseminar from Bob Proctor(from the Secret) about more tools that enhance the law of attraction. So these this free book and free teleseminar complement each other perfectly and I highly recommend you get them both.
Most of us walk around with very negative limiting beliefs. Dr. Joe Vitale likens these limiting beliefs to "thieves in the night" who keep money away from us. The 3 main limiting beliefs we carry with us when it comes to money are: I don't love myself, I don't deserve more money, and Money Is The Root Of All Evil. These 3 limiting beliefs whether conscious or unconscious have serious consequences. Before you can even think of earning a single penny, you'll need to work on these beliefs you have.
Wealth has to become something you achieve in the mind before you can ever achieve it in the real world. You need to think like a rich person, and act like a rich person before you'll become a rich person. Otherwise, no matter how hard you try, you'll never reach your financial goals. This part is crucial.
Let's get back to the first point I made, it's essential that you learn to really consciously and unconsciously love yourself. If you don't, you'll feel like you don't deserve more money in your life and you won't get any more money.
If you want to get over these limiting beliefs, you're going to have to confront them and analyze their validity. Most of the time, these are completely false beliefs that need to be eliminated.
You can overcome rather quickly and easily everything that is keeping money away from you.
When you do receive money, let it flow and do not hoard it. If you begin to hoard it, you'll stop the flow of money into your life.
Wealthy people are in control of their revenue streams and let them flow instead of blocking them.
Sometimes, we believe that we have too little money to generate substantial amounts of money but even a little trickle of water turns into a massive stream when used correctly.
"Givers get" says Bob Proctor in the 11 Forgotten Laws. If you're interested in a free teleseminar about the 11 forgotten laws by Bob Proctor, click on the link in my signature.
When you give money to a cause you believe in or to a great charity, you attract more money into your life.
Here's a bonus tip that I've found elsewhere: Give thanks and gratitude for all the money you already do have. "What we focus on expands"-Unknown Author and "What we give attention to grows"-Unknown author. So by giving thanks to the money we have, we'll attract more of it into our lives.
You have to give before you can get more. That means giving about 10% of your income to charity every paycheck. This is called tithing. And it works like a charm!
A lot of people give too little money to charity or to people who inspire them. The truth is the bigger your gift, the bigger the amounts of money you get back in return.
Give for the sheer joy of giving. Don't think that money is too scarce. Instead, focus in on abundance and you will attract more of it into your life.
Like you've probably learned in The Secret, you need to be focused on what you DO want and not on what you DON'T want. Whatever your attention is focused on is what you'll attract. Remember to not drive yourself crazy either by trying to control every single thought you have. What really matters here as Ester Hicks says is that you focus on doing things that make you feel good. You have to follow your inner compass - your emotional guidance system and do the things that make you feel good.
You are the 5 people you spend the most time with. If the people you surround yourself with have a negative attitude about money, you will also end up with a negative attitude about money. So you have to choose your environment wisely. Jack Canfield(from The Secret) suggests you put yourself in places around other wealthy people and in that way "you'll begin to think like them".
You need to allow yourself to indulge occasionally in things you'd like to buy. Remember, this doesn't mean creating debt for yourself or anything like that. But if you just had an amazing week where you made more income than ever before, allow yourself to splurge! You deserve it!
As you splurge on things you love, or indulge in purchasing things you really care about, you'll be feeling really great feelings - positive feelings and this will attract more of these situations into your life!
You have to be able to ask for help if you want success in the money department. The first step to take when it comes to asking for help is to ask God or whatever you believe in for assistance and guidance.
The second step is to ask others for assistance - people you believe can help you get closer to your financial goals. It takes guts to ask the right people for help, but you can do it!
When you ask for help, you are giving the Universe the opportunity to send good things your way.
Start a mastermind group where you join up with 5 other people and help each other to build real wealth. This is like a support group where people help each other reach their financial goals.
You MUST visualize your financial goals and already have all the money you desire in the here and now if you wish to attract them into your life. Spend some time every morning and every night visualizing the kind of rich lifestyle you would be living, like Jack Canfield suggests.
When a source of money comes into your life, you MUST take action on that potential to turn it into real cold hard cash.
Visualization is something you can apply to every area of your life once you realize that it really works for you.
You have to think like a business-person. This is crucial to your success in wealth.
Create multiple streams of income! This is how you will become a millionaire!
When choosing a source of income, look at something with scalability... which means something that has the potential to grow into something bigger and better over time.
Follow your passions. Think of your hobbies and interests first and foremost as a way to create a stream of income. 99% of people have a couple of things that are near and dear to their heart. These are the things that should be transformed into streams of income first.
Another bonus tip is to look into all the opportunities there are to make additional money on the internet!
You have to become responsible for the well-being of not only yourself but also for the people around you... like the people in your community and in the world at large.
If you send out good intentions to others through prayers or visualizations or actions, you will attract this back into your life.
Never give up!
Act on your inspired ideas!
With time, your interests will shift and transform... don't be afraid to pursue new passions as sources of income!
I hope you enjoyed this article. Remember that if you are interested in reading more about Attract Money Now... all you have to do is go to Dr. Joe Vitale's blog. You can find a link to it at www.mrfire.com (that's his website). Finally, I'd like to mention again the 11 Forgotten Laws by Bob Proctor that really complements Attract Money Now and The Law Of Attraction in general. You can find a link to a free teleseminar about the 11 forgotten laws in my signature under my name and next to my picture.
Thank you for reading!

DELAWARE, OHIO – Linda Killian, a Washington, D.C.-based journalist and senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, will discuss her new book, "The Swing Vote: The Untapped Power of Independents," at 7:30 p.m. March 6 at Ohio Wesleyan University.
Killian will speak in the Benes Rooms A and B of Ohio Wesleyan's Hamilton-Williams Campus Center, 40 Rowland Avenue. The event is free and open to the public.
"The Swing Vote" focuses on the Independent voter in 2012. NBC News analyst Charlie Cook praises Killian for doing "a great job of not only examining the importance and historic role of those Independent and moderate swing voters who live between the partisan and ideological forty-yard lines, but she examines their mind-sets as well. … An understanding of swing voters leads to an understanding of the volatility and the turbulence that drove the 2006, 2008, and 2010 elections and will likely drive 2012 as well."
Killian's presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session and a screening of CNN Super Tuesday primary caucus results. Killian has been a columnist for Politico, U.S. News & World Report.com, and Politics Daily. She also has written for The Washington Post, The New Republic, and The Weekly Standard, as well as other national publications.
Sponsored by the OWU Department of Politics and Government, Killian's presentation is part of the Benjamin F. Marsh Lecture Series on Public Affairs, which is endowed by Marsh, a 1950 OWU graduate.
Ohio Wesleyan University is one of the nation's premier small, private universities, with more than 90 undergraduate majors, sequences, and courses of study, and 23 NCAA Division III varsity sports. Located in Delaware, Ohio, just minutes north of Ohio's capital and largest city, Columbus, the university combines a globally focused curriculum with off-campus learning and leadership opportunities that translate classroom theory into real-world practice. OWU's close-knit community of 1,850 students represents 47 states and 57 countries. Ohio Wesleyan was named to the 2010 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll with distinction, is featured in the book "Colleges That Change Lives," and is included on the "best colleges" lists of U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review.

The Walking Dead has been dragging on slowly like a walker in mud since the murderous season opener. Thankfully, there have been some bright spots in the season such as "The Cell", despite that godforsaken "Easy Street" song. Now we can add the Tara-centric "Swear" to that painfully small list of enjoyable episodes that have been aired thus far. You read that right: an episode all about Tara was actually a pretty good one. To be honest, most people had probably forgotten that Tara and Heath had gone off on a "two weeker" scavenging run immediately after the ambush at the satellite bunker.
Let's face it, Tara isn't a very fleshed out character on The Walking Dead. She is part comic relief, part moral compass. Up until this point, the most interesting thing about her was that she defected from the Governor after he decapitated poor Herschel. Tara was also one of the few survivors to be graced with a romantic story arc. Yet we all remember how that played out with Denise taking an arrow to the face. But more on that later.
As always, spoilers for The Walking Dead.
In all honesty, there was nothing especially spoilerish about this weeks episode. Before even starting the episode, the DirecTV summary stated that, "someone discovers a new community like no one has ever seen." When I saw that, my heart skipped a beat as I immediately thought that we may get treated to some Whisperer action. Sadly and unsurprisingly, this was not the case. For one, it is very early in the shows timeline to be showing anything about the Whisperers. For all intents and purposes, they should be touted as the next group of baddies after the Saviors are dealt with. And the Saviors are nowhere near CLOSE to being dealt with. The community that was discovered is Oceanside.
This episode focused on Tara. On paper, that seems like a horrible idea: a second string character gets a full episode to themselves while they are out scavenging? Yet having seen the episode play out, it was one of the better ones of the season.
The first notable thing that happens in "Swear" is the conversation Heath and Tara have in the RV. It goes a long way to remind the audience that these two characters believe that they got rid of Negan and his followers. Both of them have valid standpoints as far as why it was ok or not okay to murder the Saviors in the satellite outpost. The Alexandria group has come a long way in a relatively short time. To ask them to murder people in their sleep is a huge step up from merely defending themselves from zombies.
The episode did a fairly good job with Tara's flashbacks. The flashbacks didn't muddle the story up too badly. However, it is just Tara, so it's not like the audience went in with high hopes for a solid story to begin with. That being said, a lot of things worked well for an episode all about Tara. For starters, she follows the girl who saves her back to her camp. The look of terror on Tara's face the entire time she was sneaking around the Oceanside community was absolutely hilarious. Granted, she is used to just being a sideline comic relief, so suddenly becoming a ninja was probably genuinely frightening for her. But by now, the audience expects a certain amount of badassery from our core group of survivors.
Also, what is up with Heath being a jerk? While fighting weird sand zombies on the bridge, Heath and Tara get separated by a group of walkers. Heath just kind of bails and Tara gets knocked over the edge of the bridge. Not the signs of a team player. Tara at least tried to get to him, but Jerky McJerkerson wasn't having any of it. Right before Tara fell off he bridge, they did have a weird moment where Tara said, "We are in this together," that Heath barely acknowledged.
The entire bridge setup was also confusing. From a strategic standpoint, the goal was to neutralize the zombies. Usually, it does not require some wacky Rube Goldberg machine to get the job done. There was two lines of cars and several lines of hanging tarps to section off the bridge. Then at the end, there were two dump trucks full of sand. So the goal was to lure the zombies through the choke point and separate them with the tarps in order to bury them under a bunch of sand? And it worked? Remember a few seasons back when Rick and company were on foot? They came to a bridge and fought a sizable group of zombies with their knives. They didn't need some fancy setup to do it either.
Having Tara sneak around Oceanside was actually a clever way to introduce the community to the audience. Through her eyes, we were able to see that they are a well supplied group that has an impressive amount of weapons. The all women group was also well-trained and organized quickly against an outside threat, which of course just happened to be Tara. The only problem with the Oceanside response team is that they are all horrible marksmen..er…markswomen? They can't shoot. After the unconventional alarm sounds and the entire community mobilizes, they get the drop on Tara…and miss. Tara runs away like she's dodging explosions in a Michael Bay movie and no one can hit her. They have pistols and scoped assault rifles and they can't hit a single, slightly chubby target in the trees?
For those wondering, Oceanside is in the comics, but not for quite some time. The TV version of Oceanside is quite different from the peaceful and friendlier version of the shoreline community in the comics.
So Tara runs and gets caught. Natanya and the other women try to figure out what to do with Tara. During the talks, Tara blabs about Alexandria and mentions the Saviors. Natanya decides to let Tara go back with a guide. Seems like a nice plan that won't involve any murder whatsoever. Naturally, it's a ploy to just kill Tara, who surprisingly catches on and makes a run for it. Her friend Cindy (who saved her at the beginning) pops up again to save her and get her back to the bridge to hopefully reunite with Heath. Tara ends up making it through the zombies and back to the beginning of he bridge, but guess what? No Heath.
The rest of the episode shows Tara making it back to Alexandria to find out that Denise, Glenn, and Abraham have been killed. While Tara is processing their deaths, the rage of Rosita continues as she drills Tara for any information about any assets she may have seen. Stupidly, Tara keeps her promise to Cindy and does not reveal anything about Oceanside.
Overall, this episode was better than some of what we have seen so far in this season. The sneaking in and escape sequences were entertaining, but sadly wasted on Tara. Imagine an episode like this with Darryl? Or Rick? To the characters credit, Tara at least tried to make peace with Oceanside, even though they were not receptive. The Walking Dead continues its downward spiral as it plods through its seventh season. Here's hoping that we get more episodes like this, but with better characters.

The Parkland College Department of Public Safety strives to be accessible and responsive to the community we're a part of. Towards that goal, we offer a range of services that go beyond traditional policing in order to better connect and engage with students, faculty, staff, and visitors to the college.
This week's post will be an overview of the various vehicle services we offer, which are completely free to anyone on campus regardless of affiliation to the college. Just call 217/351-2369, and one of our officers will come out to help.
Locked out of your car?
In the rush to get to class, did you leave your keys locked in the car? Our officers are trained and equipped with vehicle unlock tools to access your door handles or unlock buttons.
Dead battery?
We carry battery packs in all of our squad cars to jump start your vehicle if your battery is dead. The officer will hook it up to your car battery and help start your car. If it turns out that you have a different mechanical issue, we can call a tow truck for you to get you to a mechanic.
Run out of gas?
If you cruised onto campus running on fumes and need a little gas to get back on the road, we can give you a ride to a nearby gas station where you can put a couple of gallons in a gas can we carry in the squad car. We'll bring you back and you can refill your tank, at least enough to get on the road and make it back to the gas station for a fill-up.
Flat tire?
We have an air compressor to fill up your tire if it's a little flat. Unfortunately, we can't change your tire, but we can provide advice and stand by with you if you need to switch over to your spare.
What to Expect
If you're having any of the above issues with your car, call 217/351-2369. The dispatcher will get some information to find out where you are ,and an officer will be dispatched to you as soon as possible. They'll verify your driver's license and vehicle registration, have you sign a liability waiver, and then get to work to get you back on the road. It's totally free, and you don't have to be a Parkland student or employee to receive this service.

Used Hot Tubs
When shopping for a used hot tub, there's a lot more to the selection process than simply identifying the best-quality brand. Your choice should take into consideration your personal needs, tastes, priorities, and budget. Asking the right questions when shopping for a used spa is imperative to finding your right selection. The thing is, you likely won't find a straight answer to any of your questions from brochures, websites, or salespeople. That's where we come in!
At Hot Tubs Galore, we take the time to explain all of your options to you, while keeping you informed of the most important things to consider. All of our used hot tubs have been thoroughly inspected, pressure-tested, and sanitized. They are all in good condition, run well and look nice.
Although we only stock spas that we can sell with pride and confidence, some of them are better quality than others, and prices vary. We sometimes sell used tubs "as is" for as little as $1000, before we fix them up, but we most commonly sell fully-refurbished, full-size used spas with warranty. These typically cost between $2000-$4500, depending on size, age, quality, and supply and demand.
As used spa specialists, we understand that consumers can be skeptical about buying used, but we know better than anyone what the dangers can be! Even if a used hot tub appears to be running fine and in good condition, lots can go wrong as soon as it's moved. Deteriorating pipes and hoses, old electronics, finicky computers and worn mechanical components may hold out for many years as long as the hot tub sits still and is uninterrupted. The thing is, hot tubs often break down or spring new leaks due to the strain and trauma of being disconnected, physically moved, then resuscitated.
Just like used cars, there are lots of OK-looking used hot tubs out there that would be a huge mistake to buy. Sometimes repairs can cost thousands of dollars, and there are safety issues to consider as well. We hope we haven't scared you too much because we want you to know that there are many really good used hot tubs out there as well!
It is very possible to find a 15-year old spa that will easily outlast a brand new one! An almost-new tub can have more problems than a much older one, so the quality and condition is more important than the manufacturing date.
At Hot Tubs Galore, we are in the business of finding the best used hot tubs in the province and making them available to the general public. All of our used hot tubs have passed a detailed 125-point inspection. After that, we pressure-test the system and do a deep-cleaning flush. This significantly lowers the chance of anything going wrong after we deliver them to their new home. As a result, we rarely have to do warranty work.
Contact us to discover the used hot tubs we currently have in stock. We'd be thrilled to show you what we can offer and get you in the spa of your dreams today!
Hot Tubs Galore is a rustic warehouse concept in an informal setting.
New and used, over two dozen brands, huge selection, lowest possible pricing!

This past weekend, Jemayne and Laura brought their daughter, Jada, over to meet Natalie. It was easily one of my favorite visits to date and thinking about it makes me a little bit weepy. The thing is, I remember the night Jada was born. I remember going to visit Laura when Jada was just weeks old and bringing her blankets, toys and clothes for Miss Jada Bean. I remember seeing Jada at three months old when Mayne and Brandon graduated from Lycoming. I remember Jada dancing at our wedding and being the little life of the party. And now to see Jada holding my little girl is so surreal. In my opinion those two little girls are like cousins and I can only imagine the trouble they are going to get into together... or the trouble that Jada will probably get Natalie out of!

how are we old enough to have a picture like this?!
I was recently talking to a woman I know who is having a hard time with her own family. She was telling me that she felt like her friends are more like family to her than her own blood relatives are. She told me that her brother told her that he loved her son but couldn't care less about her son's wife. She didn't know how to handle that. She told her son what was said and the son told his mother that the only reason he even talks to that uncle and those members of his family is because of his wife! I couldn't help but laugh at the irony. I told her that while I have no doubt the crumbling relationships with her family members hurt her, she has surrounded herself with delightful loving friends who really care about her and that's something pretty wonderful and incredibly special.
Hearing this woman tell me about her family situation and her feelings about her friends only reinforced to me how lucky Brandon and I are to have such great friends. Don't get me wrong, Brandon and I have both been blessed with big families (that are growing like weeds!) full of crazy, enjoyable and loveable people, but we have also created our own framily (thanks Sprint for that awesome word-mash) and for that I am incredibly grateful. Natalie will have no shortage of playmates, friends, mentors and role models and she will be forever surrounded by love and guidance and there is nothing more heartwarming and rewarding than that.

After my last post I went grocery shopping and bought the ingredients I needed for Avocado Mango Salad. I was actually surprised to find perfect, creamy, orange flesh when I sliced into each of the three mangoes (it's been awhile since I've had a really good one – that's why I bought three). The organic avocado, however, was a let-down. I separated the two halves to find a grayish-green hue that reminded me of Frankenstein's goulish complexion. That night we had really sweet mango slices for dessert. No regrets there. The next day, feeling mildly obsessed, I returned to the store armed with my list of salad ingredients ready for a re-do. I am currently giving the new avocado another day to sit on my kitchen counter and become the bright grass-green, butter-yellow delight we both know it can be.
In the meantime, yesterday was Monday, and as I sat at my kitchen table at six o'clock in the morning, having that first sip of coffee, thinking about the week ahead, the question, "What's for dinner?" brought me into focus. However, twelve hours later and I still had no idea, so instinctively I began to boil a large pot of water and took it from there.
Last night's meal was simple and I threw it together as I went along: whole wheat spaghetti tossed with garlic and fresh sage-turned golden in a saute pan of a little butter and olive oil, fresh green beans sauteed with more garlic and olive oil, and I'm just gonna say it – Trader Joe's turkey meatballs that I warmed in the oven and finished with a drizzle of olive oil. A girl has got to take a short-cut once in a while and Trader Joes brand rarely lets me down. I sliced a little fresh mozzarella cheese for the table and done.
And then I wound up at Urgent Care at 9:00 pm with my daughter who accidently swallowed a rock. She's fine and I know I'll be seeing that rock again one day soon. But that is another story.
When was the last time you created a meal on the fly? What did you make? Did you surprise yourself with tasty results?

Nardin Academy Financial Aid Policy Statement
Financial aid awards help bridge the gap between what a family can afford and the full cost of a Nardin education. Families are encouraged to consider the issue of cost and how to fund your child's education at the time of enrollment.
Nardin determines eligibility for admission without regard to a student's application for financial aid. Although need is the first requirement for financial aid, the final selection of a new recipient is based on our evaluation of the student's overall academic and personal strengths. The school makes and communicates financial aid decisions in a manner that allows families to make timely, careful, and fully-informed enrollment decisions.
Nardin uses the School and Student Services (SSS by NAIS) methodology as a guideline for determining how much a family can afford to pay towards a Nardin education.
Financial Aid is funded through a combination of resources, including restricted annual giving, restricted and unrestricted endowment income (if available), and general operating income. Therefore, limited financial aid funds are available.
Nardin Academy does not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, nationality, religion, or ethnic origin in the administration of its financial aid program. The school maintains confidentiality over financial aid applications, records, and decisions. Faculty and students are not informed of financial aid decisions. Nardin expects that families will keep the same discretion regarding awards and decisions.
With any questions or for more information, please email Lynn Bickerton, Director of Finance/Financial Aid or call her at (716) 881-6262 x1060.

Today the Church celebrates the memorial of The Holy Name of Jesus. The Bible tells us that the mere mention of Our Savior's Name can cause powerful things to happen:
Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil 2:9-11)
…then all of you and all the people of Israel should know that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead; in his name this man stands before you healed. He is 'the stone rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.' There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved. (Acts 4:10-12)
Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. (Jn 16:23)
The Gospel from today's Mass reminds us that Our Lord was given His Name before He was even conceived in Mary's womb:
When eight days were completed for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. (Lk 2:21)
Devotion to Our Lord's Holy Name was popularized by St. Bernardine of Siena, a 15th century Franciscan priest. St. Bernardine was responsible for designing the monogram of Jesus' name (see picture above) which consists of the letters "IHS" (the first 3 letters of Jesus' name in Greek), surrounded by rays of sunlight. St. Bernardine would display a painting of this monogram during his sermons, which served as a reminder of the holiness of Our Savior's name.
In today's world, it is sad that so many use the Holy Name of Jesus in a negative manner. Almost every day someone in the workplace uses the name of Jesus as an expression of anger. For many, the only time that they utter the name of Jesus is in the form of a "curse". While it is difficult to control the actions of others, there are a few things that we can do to restore the holiness to Our Lord's name.
We can charitably inform people that we are offended by the abuse, but for many that is difficult. Sometimes what starts out as charity ends up as anger, so we need to be cautious when using this approach. A safer alternative is to vow that we will only speak the name of Jesus with reverence and perform an outward gesture, such as a slight bow of the head, when His Name is mentioned. We can also attempt to educate others about the power of the Holy Name and the Good News of Jesus Christ. Finally, we can make reparation for the blasphemies uttered against His Holy Name by saying the following prayer:
O Jesus, my Savior and Redeemer, Son of the living God, behold, we kneel before Thee and offer Thee our reparation; we would make amends for all the blasphemies uttered against Thy holy name, for all the injuries done to Thee in the Blessed Sacrament, for all the irreverence shown toward Thine immaculate Virgin Mother, for all the calumnies and slanders spoken against Thy spouse, the holy Catholic and Roman Church. O Jesus, who hast said: "If you ask the Father anything in My name, He will give it to you," we pray and beseech Thee for all our brethren who are in danger of sin; shield them from every temptation to fall away from the true faith; save those who are even now standing on the brink of the abyss; to all of them give light and knowledge of the truth, courage and strength for the conflict with evil, perseverance in faith and active charity! For this do we pray, most merciful Jesus, in Thy name, unto God the Father, with whom Thou livest and reignest in the unity of the Holy Ghost world without end. Amen. (Prayer Book, The by Reverend John P. O'Connell, M.A., S.T.D. and Jex Martin, M.A., The Catholic Press, Inc., Chicago, Illinois, 1954)
