Visitor reviews for Sasquatch Mountain Resort Ski Resort
(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
December 15, 2017
Roy from Canada
Great mountain with wide open usable terrain, short lines, great views and plenty of potential. The terrain is great and snow abundant. The vertical drop posted is somewhat misleading at 1300', as it is 1100' with the highest point of 4320'at the top of the green chair not the red chair, either way that will improve with the future expansions to adjacent mountains.

Hemlock Pow from Canada
Great family hill with so much potential.
This past year: 2016/17 was incredible. Who says Hemlock doesn't get any snow? With 900+cm last winter I had so many 18"-30" of powder days it was unreal. Go to other local mountains with high speed lifts/lines and it is all tracked up within a couple of hours. Even on the busiest of days if all the chairs are running the lift wait is minimal at SMR. It has been good to see some improvements lately like the magic carpet (which needs a cover like Mt. Seymour so the staff does not need to clear snow off it on snowy mornings and could focus on other morning start up operations). They also need a reliable generator for the frequent power outages so Sasquatch (green) chair could remain operational. It would be great to see night skiing on the Skyline (red) chair instead of Sasquatch chair as it is not nearly as likely to be closed due to wind/cold on that side of mountain. Looking forward to the future development and increased terrain once pre-development hurdles are crossed.

Anna from Canada
Great little mountain and good snow, but service could definitely be improved. All ski resorts I've been to clear off their chairlifts when it's snowing. We were there the other day with heavy snowfall and no one lifted a finger. Not only is it incredibly cold to sit on an inch of snow, it's also very unsafe. I tried to clear it myself, but it was too difficult and when I sat on it, I almost slipped off a couple times. We had to leave early because our butts were frozen and our pants soaked. I would not feel safe taking my kids on these lifts in the snow. In addition, their crew is young and not well trained in operating the lifts (one was stuck for 10 min) and customer service: didn't even move to retrieve the pole I lost getting off the chair in front of his booth. A first aid attendant walked up the hill to get it for me.

Back on the slopes at the beginning of Feb and with all the rain that had been reported, the slopes were still in useable condition with a couple of cm of snow added to it. Once again, the whole family was up and we enjoyed riding, lessons, snowshoeing and tubing. There was some left over powder on some of the slopes. Staff is always friendly; sometimes you just have to start the conversation. If you want food, the pub is where to be. The burger to order is the Hemlock Burger: excellent and definitely filling. Service was great considering they were busy.
This mountain is ready to roll. Heard about the expansion and can hardly wait for the 6pack chair on the red and quads on the green. Hope to see you on the slopes soon.

Snow Bear from Canada
Once again we went up to Hemlock at the beginning of February and were not expecting too much riding as there had been a lot of rain, but to our surprise with 14 cm new, we all had a great time on the slopes. The snow held up it's side and we all had a great time. With the mention of the expansion beginning soon, we can look forward to more from this little gem of a mountain. Can hardly wait to see the 6 pack on the red chair and the terrain that they will be opening.
We did some snowshoeing as well and as always we enjoyed the quiet walks in the forest. See you on the slopes and trails.

We, once again, spent the Xmas holidays at this sleepy mountain. Well it was anything but sleepy this year! The snow was absolutely great, along with bluebird skies from the 28th on, wow! It was just amazing to ski in December with these kinds of conditions. The resort was overwhelmed so waiting for food and drink in the bar could have been better but the line-ups for skiing were not bad although Hemlock locals had a different opinion. Anyways, once again our experience was one of fun in the sun and great ski conditions. Thanks to all the lifties and bar staff for making it a great 10 days. Will be back soon.

SnowBear from Canada
Wow, March is here, spring break and up to the mountain we go again, this time we did some tubing. Our adult children had a ball, they said it definitely was the attendants who made the experience so fun. The tube hill is not very long but this sure tells you that the staff make all the difference.
We also did some skiing. The snow, for this time of year, was great, no sticking to the snow, yet. LOL. Again the staff were great.
Well, we had to try the snowshoeing, we went off on our own and the views of the valley and resort area was just awesome, definitely will be doing this again.
The resort offers quite a few other things to do than just riding, we will be doing it all again soon. Sure will be great once the new owner replaces some of these relics called chairs. Hope to see you on the slopes or trails, it's just good to play outdoors here.

ski bum from Canada
Hemlock is a good resort - but could do so much better. Couple of years ago - we left the comment on SnowFlake Resort and Hemlock Hollow. We have used all 3 services and our comments about the 3rd one being grouchy and crancky was based on our experiance and how things went. We do not know how everyone is doing, rather we look for a good time and service and fun. How can we help attitude and what we found? With the 3rd provider we felt like we were bothering them and they were renting to us as a huge favor. When we come we pay full price. We are not there on any deal, it's just our comments on our experience. The 3rd provider may be good but their customer service is like rock skiing in September, not much fun and painful.
As for the mtn, the place can do so well, just so little has changed. Someone said the new owner has done sewer and water upgrades. That is good but when we buy a lift ticket we look for the ski experience. Lifts that run (not broken down) and night skiing, where the lights work, is all we look for. The staff are always very good but just a little more resources. It could be such a great ski area.
We have faith in Hemlock and yes, we will be back and staying with Snowflake resort or Hemlock Hollow; their service makes up for any rough conditions. Here is what we hope is a great 2013/2014 season :)

Snow Bear from Canada
Wow, the powder we have enjoyed is great. Were up at Christmas and it was busy with all the sun and such, but the one thing we were dissappointed in was at the end of the run, we had to plow through Ski School, people just standing around or of all things taking off their equipment and leaving it on the access road to the chair. This is very frustrating to everyone we spoke to as well who were riding on the mtn. Almost ran over a pedestrian while trying to assess the small chair, no matter the other chair.
Have returned again and no matter if they're busy or not, this seems to be a problem. Hopefully, they will figure things out as this was a fun mountain to ride on this past Feb.
See you on the mountain.

Rockin Ronnie from Canada
We ventured back to this mountain over Xmas this year. The conditions were awesome. The grooming was well done and bluebird skies treated us to some glorious days of skiing. There were more people than we remember last time, but they had music on the deck and outside BBQ going which seemed to be a hit with a lot of people. All in all, a great week of fun. So much so we have started looking for a place there.

So let me first start with praise to whom it is due . . . our God, who has showered our girlie with so many graces in her short life already. . . the seizure saga is certainly not void of this ever present grace in her life! Just a quick recap . . . Hope's seizures worsened last October 2015, with the worst months being between January - May 2016, as the seizures built in frequency, unpredictability, and severity. So the first display of God's grace is that her seizure picture has definitely improved in the frequency of seizures! Rather than weekly seizures, she is currently down to about 1-2 days of seizures per month. Thank you Lord!
Another huge praise is regarding the frequency of the unwell symptoms that often surround seizures. This list of symptoms is long, but some of the most common are myoclonic (involuntary) jerks, headaches, losing her ability to speak, eye jerks, dizziness, vertigo, nausea, insomnia, extreme temperature fluctuations, facial freezing, pain, as well as light and noise sensitivity. Hope's unwell pre-seizure symptoms had progressed to a place in Jan-May, that she would either miss full days of school or at least come home early on 1-3 days per week. It was incredibly hard for her to keep up with school work, not to mention it was so hard to see her suffer so often. This has improved greatly! She has missed very little school due to feeling unwell and having pre-seizure symptoms. Some of those days have occurred on weekends in the past 5 months (June-Oct), but in general, she is feeling more well overall. Praising God for His mercy in this!
We have started a few new approaches to stress, rest, balance, etc. in Hope's life. Increasing available sleep time, as well as quiet time where Hope's brain and mind as well as her body can rest has been helpful. We are trying to find more balance in her schedule of church and social activities making Sunday church and Thurs night youth group the priority and only adding in what she can handle around that. The same approach has been helpful with school, where we are focusing on the core subjects, and options get less attention depending on her health that day or week. We've also encouraged her to adjust her expectations for marks and the amount of studying that we do. . . in the past, we have done hours of studying with her for a test, and it was necessary for her retention but then she would get really high marks. Obviously this was not a bad thing . . . her favorite mark to remember is the 120% she got on a Social test because of getting every question correct as well as all the bonuses! But again, we are striving for balance, and now we just consider the regular assignments and a quick review of a study guide to be sufficient studying for tests. Her marks have gone down slightly (which she really doesn't like), but it is worth it for her mind and body to be less stressed and overwhelmed! It still blows us away how she continues to be able to retain and learn with less and less hours of time spent studying and reviewing material! Again, God's continued grace and faithfulness in her life is always SO evident!!! He meets us at every corner!!!
Again, overall, Hope can handle and cope with so much more than she could in those early years, but with her continued progress, it can be tempting for Hope's very driven parents to overwhelm her with just more and more! Recognizing that impact on her health frees us to make more wise decisions with planning, scheduling, and flexing as needed. It remains a continual prayer request for Trevor and I to have daily wisdom and discernment in this area!
So, I actually am writing this post as I sit at her bedside watching over her. She came home early from school this morning with pre-seizure symptoms. She had a seizure last night, but after a good night's sleep, we were hoping for a good day today . . . still struggling though but at least not another seizure yet. Her pre-seizure symptoms have started to exhibit much earlier in the day, often soon after waking, and this is new. They used to come in the afternoon or evening. This is concerning and scary for us as her seizures can start sooner in the day and then build in severity. She only had one day of seizures in September, but she had 6 seizures that day . . . most of them were close to the parameter for administering her rescue med (3 minutes), and most of them affected her ability to breathe properly. That is the most seizures she's had in one day, and are longer than her usual seizures.
As a result of these new concerns, Trev and I decided to go ahead and start a new seizure med. We started her on a very low dose back in August, and have needed to make 3 increases in the dosage since. We think that we should make a fourth increase with her evening dose tonight as a result of the last 24 hours. This new med is in addition to the one that she's been on for nearly 4 years. Hope had some bad side effects back in August after starting this new drug and we noticed some worsening of side effects after each increase of this new medication. However, it does seem like her body is getting used to it very slowly as the side effects have diminished over time and only show up for a few days after an increase in dosage. Our desire is for her to come off of the old seizure medication, to try to lessen side effects. The doctor would like us to wait though, and said that until she is seizure free with tolerable or no side effects, that he feels it would be dangerous to decrease any medication.
Hope will see her pediatric neurologist again on November 18th. My understanding from our last visit with him in June, is that they do not plan on doing any further seizure monitoring or testing (he cancelled the one that was ordered 4 weeks after Hope's hospital stay in May). I'm guessing that he believes her seizures are coming from various parts of the brain and thus surgery is not an option. As a result then,understanding more of why/where these seizures are originating from and what the pre-seizure symptoms are (since they are not full seizures), is not his concern anymore. Rather I think he is focused on seeing if a high enough dose of seizure medication will be tolerated by her body and at the same time stop seizures. I will be honest to say that I'm conflicted about this approach. Drugs and Hope don't go together very well . . . and her long history right back to day one of her respiratory/cardiac arrest has attested to this over and over again. And yet, I can't say that seizures are any less frightening. So the conundrum and the need to continue to seek your precious prayers on her behalf, as well as for the doctor's and her parents' wisdom in the decisions made each step of the way. Another prayer request would be for Hope's heart of fear . . . seizures really scare her now! After some really bad ones, and apparently she is remembering them better, and is very aware of being limited in her ability to breathe. She also has had some seizures that have affected her hearing, and even left a residual hearing loss afterwards. This was extremely upsetting for Hope, understandably so. She has had occasional blips of either lost or muffled hearing since that big seizure at the end of May where she completely lost her hearing for a short time during and following the seizure. So as much as I totally understand her fear, we are striving to encourage her to continue to lean into her Saviour and trust Him, even through some of these new and disconcerting symptoms.
Even right now, I just adjusted her comforter to cover her and tuck her in right up to her chin. She keeps saying she feels freezing cold, even though her face is beet-red and hot to touch . . . almost like a fever, but her internal temperature is normal with a thermometer. So strange! She is keeping her eyes closed today, which is usually quite hard for her to do, but she said that it feels like it is helping to hold off seizures. Trev and I talked that it makes sense that with such substantial brain damage in her occipital lobe (main part of our brain that controls vision), limiting visual stimuli would help to not tire/overwhelm her brain as much . . . probably why noise and light bother her when she's feeling unwell. With her cortical visual impairment, Hope's eyes see everything but somewhere along the transmission to her occipital lobe, those messages get lost or are not understood or computed by her brain. So if her eyes are still seeing everything and trying to send the messages, it makes sense as to why open eyes (vision) would be overwhelming when her brain works so hard to try to see and with little success. Some of you might even remember that light and "looking at something" was actually painful and extremely unpleasant for Hope in the early days. Do you remember her turning her head to the side and squeezing her eyes closed tightly? We have a lot of pictures of her like that from back then because she hated the flash of the camera. Anyways, that reminds me that I also owe you an update on her beautiful big eyeballs!!! : ) Next time!
Thank you so very much, dear ones, for your continued prayers and love for our girlie! We just returned from Harvest University in Toronto, as well as a car trip down to Virginia. We were able to take the girls this year as Hope now qualifies for a FREE companion flight thanks to her doctors telling us about the program and helping us complete all the paperwork! The program only works for flights in Canada, but what a blessing! The girls were able to meet some very special new friends on this trip . . . the Kim family and the Ballantyne family! Both families have precious girls that have prayed for Hope for a very long time even though they had never met. What an incredibly sweet time for Hope and Gabs to meet such faithful young prayer warriors, burdened to pray for someone they had never met . . . and NOW they are also dear and treasured friends!!! We also were able to connect with a couple that used to be at Harvest Calgary, and their two little sweeties; he was our first worship director, and they are very dear to us! God's family is so wonderful and such an incredible gift. I pray that each one of you are able to be plugged into your local church, to both serve and be served by the beautiful body of Christ . . . may our love for fellow believers be such that speaks boldly and clearly the love of our precious Saviour to a lost and hurting world in need of Him!!!
You ARE loved, dear ones!!!
|Hanging out with sweet Nevy and Libby!!! Nevy was born when Josh and Sam lived in Calgary and she is named after Hope! How special! It was so great to see their dear family again!!! We love them lots!!!
|I had to get a better shot of her backpack on her back. She insisted on wearing it the way she used to, before her brain injury. This is the first time Hope has worn her school backpack on her back for almost 5 years now!!!
|So, I need to post an update on Hope's walking efforts. She has a long way to go, however Miss Muffet walks onto and off the plane now while holding her daddy's hands. It is a lot of work for her, but does that smile on her face say it all?!?!

History and Black Consciousness: The Political Culture of Black America
Marable, Manning, Monthly Review
The central theme of black U.S. history has been the constant struggle to overcome the barriers of race, and the reality of unequal racial identities between black and white. This racial bifurcation has created parallel realities or racial universes, in which blacks and whites may interact closely with one another, but perceive social reality in dramatically different ways. These collective experiences of discrimination, and this memory of resistance and oppression, have given rise to several overlapping group strategies or critical perspectives within the African-American community, which have as their objective the ultimate empowerment of black people. In this sense, the contours of struggle for black people have given rise to a very specific consciousness, a sense of our community, its needs and its aspirations for itself. The major ideological debates which map the dimensions of the political mind of black United States have always been about the orientation and objectives of black political culture and consciousness. The great historical battles between Booker T. Washington, the architect of the "Tuskegee Compromise" of 1895, and W.E.B. Du Bois, the founder of the NAACP, or the conflicts between Du Bois and black nationalist leader Marcus Garvey, were fought largely over the manner in which the black community would define for itself the political and economic tools necessary for its empowerment and future development. Sometimes the battle lines in these struggles for black leadership and for shaping the consciousness of the African-American community were defined by class divisions. More generally, the lines of separation had less to do with class than with the internalized definitions of what "race" meant in the context of black political culture to African-Americans themselves.
Ironically, the historical meaning and reality of race was always fundamentally a product of class domination. Race, in the last analysis, is neither biologically nor genetically derived. It is a structure rooted in white supremacy, economic exploitation, and social privilege. It evolved in the process of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. Racism has power only as a set of institutional arrangements and social outcomes which perpetuate the exploitation of black labor, and the subordination of the black community's social and cultural life. But all of this is masked by the prism of race to those who experience the weight of its oppression. The oppressed perceive domination through the language and appearance of racial forms, although such policies and practices always served a larger class objective. As a result, the political culture of black United States is organized around racial themes, either an effort to overcome or escape the manifestations of institutional racism, or to build alternative institutions which empower black people within environments of whiteness. The approach of political empowerment is distinctly racial, rather than class oriented.
Most historians characterized the central divisions within black political culture as the 150-year struggle between "integration" and "separation." In 1925, this division was perceived as separating Du Bois and the NAACP from the Garveyites. In 1995, the division is used to distinguish pragmatic multicultural liberals such as Henry Louis Gates, Director of Harvard University's Afro-American studies department, from the architect of Afrocentrism, Temple University Professor Molefi Asante. However, there are serious limitations in this theoretical model. The simple fact is that the vast majority of African-American people usually would not define themselves as either Roy Wilkins-style integrationists or black separatists such as City University of New York Black Studies director Leonard Jeffries. Most blacks have perceived integration or black nationalism as alternative strategies which might serve the larger purpose of empowering their community and assisting in the deconstruction of institutions perpetuating racial inequality. …

PAID For Grades Student Incentive Program
The goal of Paid for Grades is to help build a stronger and more sustainable community through improved literacy. The program will motivate underachieving students by providing the tools needed to improve their reading level.
Everyone involved will reap the rewards!
Clearwater High School • 2016
Boca Ciega High School • 2017
"Paid for Grades delivers what they promise. We have partnered with this program for the past four years and have found them to be very supportive and genuinely concerned with improving academic achievement amongst Clearwater High students."
Leslie Hopkins, Assistant Principal, Clearwater High School
Educational institutions are the foundation of success for our nation's future generations. We depend on the strength of that foundation to provide the tools and knowledge needed for our society to advance. Get Paid for Grades recognizes that without schools, our future would be uncertain. As such, we recognize education as the single most important cause to support. Providing needed resources to schools is an investment in everyone's future.
Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan said, "Teachers are our nation builders—the strength of every profession in our country grows out of the knowledge and skills that teachers help to instill in our children." Get Paid for Grades realizes that, as a community, we must do more to support the work of our teachers. We are committed to providing the needed resources to complement teachers' current efforts.
The first job anyone has in life is obtaining an education. Students must work hard to receive good grades, thus, allowing them to advance and obtain transferable life skills. Get Paid for Grades is committed to providing resources to students to build a solid foundation for success. Our hope is to inspire change—to encourage students to be leaders in their school, society, and economy.

About Us:
During the Sunday morning service time, we offer educational programs for children and youth aged 3 to 18. Our programs are age-appropriate, involving a range of music, crafts, Bible stories, Bible literacy, study, and discussion. At the start of the service, the entire group meets at the altar for a time with the priest. Then the children move into their separate groups, returning to take Communion with their families.
Special Activities:
These are offered several times a year. Activities have included "Christianity and Croissants" sessions, where parishioners share their faith stories with our young people, and "Children and Churches around the World," where parishioners who have come to Canada from other countries tell us about life where they grew up. Each year, our resident ceramic artist leads us in a clay art project for Easter.
We have two projects that encourage our children and youth to share and to learn about the world around us. Through Plan Canada, we sponsor a child in Kenya. We collect bottles and cans and bring coins to raise the support money, as well as writing letters and drawing pictures to send to Leonard-Kim. We also share with our local school, Cameron Road Elementary; recently, we decorated snack bags and filled each one with a juicebox and granola bar for kids who come to school in need of a snack.
Children in Church:
Children of all ages are welcome in our services. We enjoy the presence of these young members of the family of God. Several times each year, the children make a contribution to the service. There is an area to the side of the sanctuary for children who need to be more mobile, or who like to colour during the service. The women's washroom is equipped with a baby-changing table and supplies for toddlers.

Sustainable Stormwater Options
There are many stormwater options that residents and businesses can install on their property that qualify for funding through Raleigh Rainwater Rewards.
(Please note: While most projects may receive 75-90 percent reimbursement for a project, the total amount funded by the City of Raleigh varies based on project type and materials used.)
Rain Gardens
Rain Gardens are a nice addition to a yard's landscaping. Its plants and soil also remove pollution from stormwater and allow water to soak into the ground.
The rain garden at Joyner Elementary Magnet School in Raleigh treats stormwater runoff from the school's roof using the garden's plants and soil to capture and clean stormwater before it reaches storm drains and local waterways.
Average Price: $20,000 - $50,000
Backyard Rain Gardens
Rain Gardens are a nice addition to a yard's landscaping. Its plants and soil remove pollution from stormwater and allow water to soak into the ground.
Permeable Pavement and Pavers
Permeable Pavement and Pavers can be used in place of typical pavement to allow rainfall to absorb into soil that is on residential or commercial properties.
This 900-square-feet of permeable pavers collects stormwater runoff from about 1,500-square-feet of the impervious space on this residential property.
Average Price: $10,000 - $30,000
Cisterns collect rainwater that is great to re-use for watering landscapes and washing cars.
The 2,200-gallon cistern at Walnut Creek Wetland Park collects stormwater runoff from the building's roof and is used to wash equipment and water plants.
Green Roofs
Green roofs cover a traditional roof with plants and soil that capture rainfall and reduce water pollution.
The green roof at Buffaloe Road Aquatic Center helps to slow stormwater runoff when it rains. It also keeps the building a little cooler, too!
Average Price: $100,000 - $250,000
Stormwater Wetlands (Water Garden)
Wetlands are one of the most effective ways to treat stormwater runoff.
The constructed wetland (water garden) at Fred Fletcher Park in Raleigh treats stormwater runoff while being an amenity to the neighborhood and providing natural habitat for aquatic creatures.
(The Fred Fletcher Park Wetland was not completed through this program, but is a good example of what can be done.)

Natalya delights Creative Writing tutors after scooping £5,000 Bridport Prize
Recent Anglia Ruskin University graduate Natalya Anderson, from Cambridge, has won one of the UK's most prestigious poetry prizes.
Founded in 1973, the Bridport Prize has four categories – poetry, short stories, flash fiction (stories of 250 words or less) and novels – and this year attracted 15,000 entries from over 80 countries.
Natalya, who graduated from Anglia Ruskin earlier this month with an MA in Creative Writing, was awarded £5,000 after winning the poetry competition for her work Clear Recent History.
The former ballet dancer, who is originally from Toronto, previously worked as a medical writer, and has written features for Canada's national newspaper The Globe and Mail. For six years, she wrote a column for Dogs Today Magazine in which she interviewed celebrities about their pets.
Natalya said:
Professor Farah Mendlesohn, Head of the Department of English and Media at Anglia Ruskin, said:
Renowned poet and playwright Liz Lochhead, who judged the poetry prize, said of Clear Recent History:
Below is the first stanza of Clear Recent History:
I was able to dance but not eat during the first stage
of my recovery. I wrote about this in a notebook
with a faded yellow construction paper cover. I took daily
class in studio G, which was broken into that night
you disappeared, the criminals having cracked parts
of the mirror. The next morning I made a mosaic while warming
up, arms raised in fifth position, head cocked to examine
The Bridport Prize is the flagship project of Bridport Arts Centre and known as a tremendous literary stepping-stone – the first step in the careers of writers such as Kate Atkinson, Tobias Hill, Carol Ann Duffy and Helen Dunmore.The competition is open to anyone as long as the submitted work is previously unpublished.

As a society, we love the media. Sometimes it seems like entertainment is the only reason to live. (Grey's Anatomy…Hero's…come on!) However, sometimes we have to question certain myths and stereotypes that arises that inevitability affect our society. Dr. Mary-Lou Galician's text, "Love Sex & Romance in the Media," once again focuses on a stereotype that has affected our society for ages.
"To attract and keep a man, a woman should look like a model or a centerfold."
In entertainment, there are beauties galore. From the fashion world, to movies, TV, book covers … even the hand models for lotion. It's a huge stereotype that has affected real-life relationships and self-perception resulting in hazardous health and depression.
According to Dr. Galician's text, "Unrealistic Playboy-style pictures of attractive women can have attitudinal and behavioral effects on men and on their real-life relationships. Real women can't measure up to these seemingly real fantasies." Unfortunately, this also affects young girls who feel they have to grow up to a certain irrational standard of beauty. On the flip-side, young males are also depicted as having to always have muscular body-builder bodies as oppose to feminized male physique.
Dr. Galician did a survey at Arizona State University on this particular question. Very few men or women agree that woman should look like a model or centerfold to attract and hold a man. As a result, within those small percentages men are far more likely to agree (around 15%-compared with only around 3% of the women).
Photo on the left by By Bru Garcia, AFP/Getty Images. USATODAY .com said the picture is of
USATODAY.com wrote an article asking if thin models warped girls' body image. An excerpt from the article said, "The promotion of the thin, sexy ideal in our culture has created a situation where the majority of girls and women don't like their bodies," says body-image researcher Sarah Murnen, professor of psychology at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. "And body dissatisfaction can lead girls to participate in very unhealthy behaviors to try to control weight."
For the folks that absolutely have to look like the cover model or the actresses on TV, there are actually self-help websites, blogs, books that say, "How to look like a Model."
One blogger posted several pictures of celebrities without their make-up trying to prove how powerful make-up can be. This posted received a comment from an anotomyous blogger who said,
"Totally true. Plus a good hairstylist, good lighting, and good photography can make anyone look, if not glamorous, at least arty. When I was a kid, my father did some professional photography (really high quality stuff). He made everyone look beautiful or, for those with atypical proportions, visually striking. And I still use some of the tricks I picked up during a brief modeling stint 30 some years ago. Even now, I can look much "hotter" than I really am, though it takes more effort than I usually care for."
Another blogger from NYC posts her own experiance. She wrote, "I wish I could believe that appearances don't really matter, but we all know they do." She goes on and mentions an encounter with a friend who constantly apologized for not looking as "hot" as she used to. She wrote, "After eighteen years of marriage, the wife of this ridiculously ripped man kept prefacing sentences with, "I know it's hard to believe, but I was a catch when he found me" or "I used to be much thinner". She felt like she had to apologize to the world for her appearance, even though she had found a beautiful man to love her. Now, no one rolls out of bed looking perfect."
Nicely put.
After the recent post, Cristina, a blogger, posted a comment in reaction to what I had to say:
Comment: "Gee, well…. it's really hard. But I've started to accept my body, even though I can't say it out loud, I just think I do. I've suffered from Anorexia since age 14 (I'm 27 now and recently entered treatment last June) and sure the media does tell women how they should look and how it will make them happy and crap. But it's all a lie."
Here's my question to Cristina's response:
Q: I'm glad you are in treatment and started to accept your body. If you don't mind me asking, was one of the reason why you suffered from Anorexia as a young girl due to what you saw from the media?

Featuring performances by the winners of SoNA's Talent Search, the SoNA Singers, choirs from Bentonville and Har-Ber High Schools, and a world premiere of a piece centered around the Nativity story, narrated by Bill Simon, President/CEO of Walmart U.S.
The sounds of Christmas are as much a part of the holidays as twinkling lights and gifts wrapped under the tree, and what better way to celebrate than with the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas's annual Christmas Concert. The performance takes place at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 14 at Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville – and includes a mix of your favorite sacred and secular music celebrating the beauty and wonder of Christmas.
The second performance of the Symphony's five-concert 2013-14 season, the Christmas Concert will feature the winners of SoNA's inaugural vocal Talent Search competition: alto soloist Beth Gagliano; baritone and solo trumpeter Jeff Shadley; soprano soloist Sara Broome Sydes; and 11-year-old soloist Brian Latimer (singing "Let There Be Peace on Earth").
Also sharing the stage with SoNA musicians will be the SoNA Singers — an auditioned ensemble of choral singers from throughout the region — joined by the Bentonville High School Chamber Choir (Terry Hicks, Director) and the Har-Ber High School Camerata Singers (Randy Erwin, Director). In addition, the concert will present a special performance of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by SoNA Singers Director Terry Hicks and his wife, Peggy Hicks.
And a highlight of the evening features Bill Simon, President/CEO of Walmart U.S., who will narrate a world premiere centered around the Nativity story.
Performed under the baton of acclaimed SoNA Music Director Paul Haas, with heavenly harmonies and vibrant orchestral playing, the Christmas Concert continues SoNA's tradition of mixing some of the most beloved sacred pieces with holiday favorites. There will be something for everyone, from "Silent Night" to "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."
"Our audience has come to expect a Christmas concert that is at once incredibly fun yet spiritually and emotionally moving," says Haas. "We'll be playing a carefully balanced mixture of pops and sacred programming, designed to have our listeners leave the concert in a great mood, singing all the tunes that help make Christmas such a magical time of the year."
"We are so honored to have Bill Simon narrate the world premiere of a piece centered around the Nativity story," adds SoNA Executive Director Karen Kapella.
"I'm delighted to take part in SoNA's annual Christmas Concert," said Bill Simon. "The concert will provide a memorable and heart-warming experience for everyone who attends and promises to be a highlight of the Christmas season."

Ireland's current "brain drain" has become evident in the recent figures from the Central Statistic Office (CSO). Figures show that the number of young adults in Ireland has fallen by ten percent.
The CSO figures shows that the group of Irish between the ages 19 and 24 were the only group to fall. This group decreased by 12 percent. The average age in Ireland has increased to 36.1 years-old.
The number of older people (over the age of 65) increased by 14 percent. The census found that there are now 20,000 older people living in nursing homes and 5,000 in residential hospitals. They also found that the rural population was, on average, two years older than the urban population.
The reason for this drop in the population of young adults in Ireland is mainly due to the fact that every month 3,000 Irish people are emigrating. That works out at 111 people leaving the country day, according the CSO's figures.
Ireland's youth are leaving due to the crippling unemployment they face. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development reports that one in three Irish people between 15 and 24 are out of work.
Sadly Ireland is not the only country being affected by this global youth unemployment. The International Labour Organization's figures show that across the globe 75 million youths are out of works. That's six percent more than in 2008. By 2013 the unemployment rate in this age group will be 12.7 percent.
The number of unemployed youths in wealthy countries spiked 27 percent between 2008 and 2011.
In the United States, a Rutgers report shows that half of all college graduates are not in fulltime employment. And half of recent college graduates who are working are in jobs that don't require a college degree.
With figures of emigration from Ireland at the highest rates since the Famine and unemployment across the globe continuing to climb it looks like a daunting future for the youth of Ireland.

If you're planning on sitting down to watch a Star Wars movie marathon and you need something to snack on, try the delicious life-sized stormtrooper cake.
This cake, designed by Amanda Oakleaf Cakes, stands 6 feet, 4 inches tall and took two weeks of work to create. The giant treat weighs over 300 pounds and looks incredibly realistic. The Arisia Sci-Fi Convention in Boston was fortunate enough to chow down on this clone cake as it was fed to over 300 people.
This stormtrooper cake would have also been an awesome tool for slowing down Han solo and Luke Skywalker, assuming they couldn't resist stopping to have a bite -- and who could? If Darth Vader had used sugar and flour instead of clones, the Star Wars series would have ended much differently.

WILD ANIMALS: Animals vacate areas, gather in groups, or enter into human habitated areas prior to incidents. Wild animals that normally avoid humans will come in close contact with them, sometimes entering into dwellings or barns; Fishing improves in the local area. Zoo and oceanarium animals will try to escape, refuse to be confined and more! Remember, behavioral changes can occur for a variety of other reasons. CATS: Cats will be jumpy. You may see warning signs such as hiding, running
around frantically trying to escape to the outside, hanging on screens and meowing, or behavior unusual for your pet. Many times they will be aggressive, or will want to stick close to or be on top of you. Pacing, hissing, or growling can also be symptoms. Most cats will hide, so check their favorite hiding places and behind cupboards, refrigerators, sofas, beds, in closets, in the backs of washers and dryers, and on top of cupboards, shelves and behind the water heater. Check small spaces in the backs of any appliance since they will often seek out dark and small areas.
DOGS: Dogs will usually not hide. Behavior exhibited before quake activity
includes howling, whining, barking, restlessness, aggression, and increased devotion to owners. They will usually run around, and can bolt through gates, windows, or doors, or stick to you like glue. Some dogs will become more protective or aggressive while others will be fearful or act dejected. Pay attention to their personalities and individual needs and you will be able to avoid trouble. Drastic differences in the number of advertised lost dogs and the animal shelter loads can precede quake activity in a specific area. Large increases in these numbers could give you a clue to up coming earth activity.
HORSES AND LIVESTOCK: Hoofed animals often refuse to enter their barns or pens and often refuse to tie. They tend to group together in open areas, act nervous, or pace.
OTHER ANIMALS: Caged birds will often hang on their cage, sometimes they
will flap frantically, or they can be abnormally quiet. Breeding birds will often
abandon their eggs or discard them from the nest. Other animals will exhibit
abnormal behavior. Some of the unusual changes are that; Hibernating animals will emerge early (snakes , bears, etc.); Spiders and ants will move indoors; Rodents will invade the house or if they are in residence will disappear; Wild birds become quiet or are not visible;

It was in the early evening hours of February 4, 1975, when an earthquake of magnitude 7.3 struck the densely populated town of Heicheng, in the Liaoning Province, in northeast China. As expected, because the magnitude was great and the area highly populated, damage to Haicheng and to neighboring towns was extensive. However, what was different about this earthquake is that very few lives were lost. The reason for this was that the occurrence of this earthquake had been successfully predicted.
The prediction was based on a number of geophysical observations of precursor events as well as abnormal animal behavior. In the town of Heicheng, before the earthquake, wolves were seen running around in packs, dogs were barking unusually, and sparrows were flying around wildly. The most unusual circumstance of animal behavior was that of snakes that came out of hibernation and froze on the surface in the snow.
'Earthquake Clouds'- For years, considered a mystery to science with an unknown form of genesis, strange cloud formations have been thought to precede earthquakes. Even ancient Chinese and Italians were aware of unique clouds that gave sign preceding large earthquakes. Sudden formation of long 'snakes' in the sky, where prior was clear and blue, where the deep earth warns in the sky above - how can this be? Modern science of earthquake genesis, called 'brittle fracture theory', is sudden fracture of a fault. Yet these clouds form days before earthquakes. How?

Rowan and the group departed from Esperanza, Cayo at 5am today (July 13th) and although we had to take a break to rest our sore feet, we were still able to meet our target in Belmopan by midday! We had several fans at the roadside and a lot of donations were received along the way. The media followed us for quite a while, so we expect full coverage tonight and the Newspapers have also been very supportive!
Thank you to everyone who has contributed in whatever way: Martha's Guesthouse for hosting us last night, New Exchange Magazine for coming out to hand deliver their edition with Rowan on the cover, the police officers who escorted us along the treacherous highway, the people who joined in and those who showed their support by cheering us on!
We leave Guanacaste Park at 5am tomorrow - Saturday July 14th.
All BCVI Offices Countrywide will be open tomorrow to accept contributions. We will also have teams out at Brodies Downtown Albert Street and Brodies on the Northern Highway who will be selling TShirts and collecting donations.

It's Not Cheap to be Poor in Allentown
UPDATE: It should be noted that the article in the Morning Call stating the bus stops on Hamilton St. are gone for good was assigned to and written by their transportation writer, as opposed to Paul Muschick, the city beat reporter. This is the Morning Call's way of saying that Pawlowski's position=Morning Call's position=Pawlowski position.
UPDATE: In the Morning Call article Mr. Schweyer states business has improved in the 100 block of 7th St. because of the new terminal. There is only 1 store in that block, one half block away and on the other side, on the far corner of Turner st. That block is the worst in Allentown, 95% vacant. Apparently, Pawlowski and his chosen council candidate, both feel the merchants and public do not even deserve honest answers.
CORRECTION: In the barren landscape of the 100 block I overlooked three businesses. Near the Freedom Grocery Store, which I refer to in the previous update, there is also another small market, Mercadito's Mex. Neither merchant reports an increase, but they hope the new terminal helps them. On the terminal side there is a small hardware store, dressed up, probably from a facade grant(could we see another press conference there soon?) Lastly, and most important, I forget the 7-11. The owner believes he might be selling more coffee in the morning, perhaps his business has improved "1%". I didn't have the heart to tell him about the upcoming subsidized Dunkin Donuts.

Whoa! I thought it was odd that Schweyer would claim business increased but prtovided no proof. Now we know there is only one frickin' business in the block he is talking about.
I also posted a comment on Schweter's blog yesterday, asking him for his positrion. I also sent him an email. I heard nothing but saw his remarks to the MC today. So much for a "responsive" public servant.

I could write a book on that block. the store i refer to has been there many years, but its across wide 7th st. up at next corner. there's a restaurant( ironically first created by house of chen family many years ago) and a store front church, beside a retired lawyer office, everything else is barren, some with actual plywood.
BUT ITS WORSE, pawlowski was community and economic director under afflerbach for 3 years. in 1994 the city proclaimed 7th st. gateway to allentown and held a meeting at st. lukes church. i have since attended 3 more. the city planners have spend millions on 7th, and the 100 block, referenced by schweyer, has never looked worse. i offended damien brown at the 19th st. first meeting when i suggested the city couldn't plan a birthday party, much less improving a neighborhood. todays business section reveals the gift-postoffice was robbed and is now closed and for sale on 19th st., in spite of the pending banners. excuse the 'rambling" but the ambience of 19th st. should not be subjected to allentown city planning.

Dont forget the cuchifrito, the 7-11 and a haircut place called NY spot...hmmm wonder what that means?!!!! The area is a disaster zone and now seniors walking to the new center (from the Pennrose bldg on 7th and hamilton), county workers, students and working folk need to pass the drug corner of 7th and linden....such enlightened leaders rule Allentown....

Interesting....I came across your blog looking for an article on the Allentown Parking authority that ran in the Morning Call a bit ago. (It wasn't coming up in the Morning Call's search engine)The article had something to do with the APA using "common sense" with regards to their ticketing. I witnessed this yesterday morning when they came along and ticketed my husband for double parking in front of our house. He was unloading some heavy/akward items onto our porch and was there for about 3 minutes or less. There were no parking spots his work van could fit in. Cars could get around him. The parking authority's suggestion was that he double park in the alley, and when he pointed out that this would completely block the alley(one that is used-it's behind the Girl's Club)he was informed angrily, "You're getting a ticket!" I'm betting that if I lived in the West end instead of here on Madison, it wouldn't have been a problem. Would you like me to tell you how happy I am about year round street cleaning too?!

sajmom, thanks for your comment, unfortunately the Parking Authority can best be described as a predator. just as communities years ago had speed traps, the authority has parking traps, i.e. the 1600 hundred block of chew st.

PREVIEW: Mercedes-Benz shows us a glimpse of the G-Class 2012 at new GLK launch
In the official photo set of the new GLK-Class 2012 (X 204), Mercedes-Benz have inserted an image that contains not only the compact SUV, but also the vehicle which can be considered its grandparent: the G-Class 2012 generation. This is not the first occasion when the German carmaker intentionately "leaks" a photo of a forthcoming car using the launch moment of another model from the lineup: in 2008, a few days ahead the official reveal, they previewed the A-Class Coupe facelift in a picture emphasizing the Active Parking Assist of the new B-Class facelift that had just been released by mid-March that year (see the respective photo HERE). Sticking to the Gelandewagen, the photographed example is a G 350 BLUETEC, equipped with a 3.0-litre diesel V6 unit rated at 211 hp. The visual tweaks are minor, but enhance the historical refinement of the G-Class - new alloy wheels, new exterior mirrors and a strip LED daytime running lamps under each of the traditional circular headlights. The interior, the safety and assistance technologies, the telematics as well as the powertrain are the key parts that underwent major upgrades to ensure the 30-year old 4x4 stay fully up-to-date. With the unveiling of the new G-Class 2012 set for Beijing Motor Show in April, there's not much time left till we get the first official details - it's a matter of weeks.

Guess some people are wondering about me. I have lived in North Florida for the past 3 years and have two jobs. My main work is at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind as a Residential instructor in the Independent Living Skills Apartment Program, working with Deaf, blind and visually impaired, and dual sensory impaired young adults (17-22 years old), many of them special needs and/or physically challenged. I love working with these kids, they are great! My other job is in a pool/spa supply store where I work on Saturdays during the school year and full time during the summer while school is out. The store I work at has a strong, loyal customer base and we really try to help them with their pools, not just sell them a lot of chems. We carry everything from chems, to equipment to above ground pools and we have pool contractors and pool maintenance services who frequent us.
I previously lived in South Florida (Fort Lauderdale), and grew up between Miami and North New Jersey. I have always loved chemistry since I was a kid and majored in it a the University of Florida (GO GATORS!) back in the 70's but ended up switching majors my third year to Broadcast Production with an Education minor and graduated in that. I have kept marine and reef aquairums since the 70's (you think testing pool water is hard?!) and if I'm not relaxing in the pool or hot tub I'm at the computer! (Used to work as a programmer many years ago. If I tell you I used to program in assembler for the 8088 and 6502 series of microprosseors it will give away my age!) I am also a licensed Barber and Cosmetologist in Florida and used to teach both. (don't ask! ).
Other than that I guess I'm really pretty boring. One day I might decide what I want to be when I grow up.

"Questions that Buyers frequently ask us."
Q. Should I buy first……or sell first?
A. The answer to this question is squarely with you. Do you need the equity that's built up in your present home to complete the purchase of your new home? If so, you either need to sell first or consider a bridge loan or house sale contingency. We strongly suggest that you engage a real estate agent with whom you can enter a trusting relationship. Then discuss the question with him or her, touching on every aspect of what it may mean for your particular situation.
back to top
Q How many homes should I plan to view and how should I make the final decision?
A. Generally you should view a number of homes so you can become familiar with what you can expect to get for your money. When you find a home you really like, it's a good idea to go back and look at it at a different time of day. This will give you greater insight into what it will be like living in the home full time.
back to top
Q. I'm thinking about buying a home. Where do I start?
A. The first step in the plan for potential Home Buyers is a credit check. It's best to keep an eye on your credit reports so you can spot any mistakes and dispute them. Also, avoid running up high credit card bills in the months prior to buying a home. These two things will help you in the next phase of your game plan, pre-approval on a mortgage. Your Hartman & Associates' Agent will be able to help you with this portion of the plan. Pre-approval includes analyzing your income, assets and present debt to estimate how much house you can afford. This means the lender has committed to loaning you the money subject to the house you choose to buy. Being pre-approved for a loan will make you attractive to Sellers because the contract won't be tied up with financial issues. After you know how much you can spend, you are in the homestretch. This is the time for you to become familiar with neighborhoods and the features of the home. Educate yourself by visiting har.com and hartmanassociates.com and viewing the inventory of listings. This is also the time for you to decide what you want and need in a home. A solid game plan needs a good coach. A Hartman & Associates Agent can help you through all steps of the plan, prepare you for any unforeseen problems and eventually help you to buy the home of your dreams.
back to top
Q. Why do I need an agent to help me find a home with all of the technology and advertising available?
A. The internet and newspaper ads are a good place to start researching what the current housing market is like. You can also find information to help answer many of your financing questions. Once you have looked at what's available to you, it's time to get a professional involved. You might spend hours scanning newspaper ads and home magazines, driving through neighborhoods looking for "for sale" signs or phoning on individual listings, and still miss the opportunity to see some of the best homes available. A Hartman & Associates Agent will save you time, money and make a wealth of information resources available to you, so together you can find that special home.
back to top
Q. What should I consider when I start to look for a home?
A. First, put together a list of features and benefits you want in a home. Think of such things as pricing, location, size and amenities. If you can't get a home at the price you want with all the features you are looking for, figure out what features are most important to you and rank them in priority so you know what you're willing to give-and-take. Would you rather have a large kitchen and smaller bedrooms? Also consider your needs in the future. Maybe now is the time to buy a larger home rather than expanding a smaller home in the future. Your Agent can also help you compare the price of homes with the features you are looking for or suggest alternate uses of space.
back to top
Q. As a buyer, do I have the right to obtain past information about the property I am interested in purchasing?
A. Yes. Sellers are required to disclose all known defects associated with the property. With the help of your Agent, you can find out what has happened to the property in the past. You should make careful observations, examine the property and request or otherwise obtain any records important to you. These requests should be in writing. If you decide to put an offer on a home, it is important to have a professional inspection completed before closing.
back to top
Q. If I am thinking of buying a newly-constructed house, why do I need an Agent?
A. Building a home often requires hours of research and decision-making. You must first decide what area you want to build in and which builder you want to work with. After these initial decisions, you still have many choices of floor plans, building materials and fixtures. Personalization and freedom of choice are some of the benefits of building a home, but they can also be very stressful. An Agent will guide you through the entire home building process and help you along the way should you need it. You'll still get to make the choices on your own, but your Agent will be there to help, keeping your best interests in mind. Also, buyer representation comes at no cost to you.
back to top
Q. What should I offer?
A. There are a number of factors that will affect the offer you make. Supply and demand, the condition of the home, how long the house has been on the market, and your personal circumstances with regard to how soon you need to close on a home all come into play when framing your offer. You might also weigh in the demand for the home and how much you really want it. If you "low ball," some Sellers will react with a counter offer; others might dismiss your offer outright. In a Seller's market, you're likely to lose out by making a low bid. If multiple bids are anticipated, it's advisable to go with your "best offer." Your Agent will advise you on ways to make your offer more attractive: for instance, a pre-approved mortgage and flexibility on the closing date can help make your offer stand out and ultimately close the sale. Your Hartman & Associates' Agent, a neighborhood specialist, will provide recent sales comparables to insure you are paying the right price for he house.
back to top
Q. What is title insurance and why do I need it?
A. Basically, title insurance assures that you have clear title to the home you're purchasing. A title search is the primary component of "due diligence," a process that will be started by your attorney, if you are using one, or by the title company you choose. The title search determines whether the seller actually owns the property and if there are any claims against it.
back to top
Q. What is involved in a home inspection and is it necessary?
A. While only certain inspections are required by mortgage lenders, a comprehensive home inspection is considered a wise thing to do when purchasing a home. However, since it is not required, the Buyer must pay for it. It is also recommended at the time of inspection, you accompany the home inspector so that you can learn firsthand as much as possible about the home you are about to purchase – including such basics as where the main water shut-off is and electrical boxes are.
back to top
Q. What if the inspections turn up problems?
A. Few homes are perfect. Some problems may be a matter of simple cosmetics; others may be more serious and call for costly repairs. The good news, however, is that in most cases the seller and buyer are able to come to terms. You and the Seller may decide to compromise, both sharing the costs of the repairs, or the Seller may pay for any repairs. Or you may decide that the issue is not important enough to risk losing the home.
back to top
Q. What happens if the house I want to purchase does not appraise at the amount expected?
A. If the house doesn't appraise at the amount expected, other alternatives are typically found. A second appraisal may be sought, the buyer may be willing to put more money down, the Seller may adjust the price or offer other concessions, or the two sides may negotiate to split the difference between them.

In my novel, Anarchy in New England, many competing security companies exist to bring crime insurance, street patrols, and criminal investigation to consumers. One such company is Atlas Protection, and this is how I imagine their security contract to look. (I have kept it short and basic; in reality a security contract would read much more in depth, including specific definitions and intricacies of each crime, with much more detail etc.).
Atlas Protection Security Fulfillment
Thank you for choosing Atlas Protection for all of your security needs. If you have purchased crime insurance in a bundle through our partners, Atlantic Insurance or Coastal Insurance, welcome, we appreciate your business.
The Section Your Coverage below will explain what Atlas Protection will provide and protect you against. The Stipulations section will review any actions that would cause us to drop coverage in the event an injured party seeks damages.
Atlas Protection investigates most criminal complaints, however we also partner with Cape Cod Criminology Labs for forensic testing. While we do provide patrols in some areas, those further from our offices will have patrols fulfilled by Northern Watch or Mountain Rangers, depending on your location. Atlas Protection is proud to work in collaboration with New England Security Agency, Corner Cop Security, and Minuteman Arms, among others, to ensure the closest security personnel will always respond in cases of emergency.
Atlas Protection retains Hudson Arbitration to settle disputes with other security companies. We advise customers that although we can appeal decisions made by arbitration, the final results are legally binding and may result in the cancellation of coverage if you are found guilty of a crime, or dismissal of charges if a suspected assailant is found innocent of victimizing you. If you wish to purchase accusation insurance for Atlas Protection to continue to represent you in the event of a conviction, please talk to your Atlas Protection representative.
Your Coverage
If you have purchased a Gold account with us, you are covered for daily patrols, and theft protection of up to $10,000. If you have purchased a business account, please speak to your representative if you have questions about the amount and time of patrols, and area to be patrolled. Your representative will also be able to answer any questions about how much theft protection will be included in your plan.
We strive to accurately investigate, and bring assailants to justice, in order to recover the losses you sustain. It is our guarantee that if we do not bring the perpetrator to justice within one year of a complaint, Atlas Protection will pay out a settlement in accordance to the crime. All of our policies will always cover emergency response–including health emergencies and fires–, investigation, and prosecution to protect you against the following crimes:
- Assault on your person, a family member, or anyone you are consorting with, whether on someone else's property or your own.
- Theft of your property, including items on your person or at home, but not including items left on property that is not your own, unless you were deceived into parting with said property.
- Serious threats on your life or property.
- Trespassing, breaking and entering, home invasion, and forced entry.
- Murder, rape, and attempted murder/ rape of you, a family member, or cohort. In cases where the policy holder is murdered, the policy will stay active through the investigation and prosecution, at which time the next of kin will be given the option of continuing coverage. If you have purchased life insurance through our affiliates, this will be paid immediately, and not in accordance with any investigation, except in cases of suspected suicide or fraudulent death claims.
- All other crimes which violate self ownership, and all rights which stem from self ownership. All crimes of aggression, but not defensive action (in cases where policy holder attempts to injure another).
Stipulations: Your Responsibility
I: In addition to protection from crime, Atlas Protection also advocates for you in the event you are accused of a crime.
All crimes and actions which this policy protects against may not be engaged in by the policy holder. In cases when a policy holder commits a crime, including but not limited to assault, theft, trespassing, murder etc., protection will be subject to cancellation after investigations by Atlas Protection and any other security agency have been completed, submitted, and reviewed by Hudson Arbitration and/or another third party arbiter who finds the policy holder guilty.
In such cases Atlas Protection will continue to act as defense in sentencing in order to assure fair treatment, but will yield to arbitration's final recommendation. It is at Atlas Protection's sole discretion whether or not coverage will continue after the verdict, and if found guilty, the policy holder may be subject to a surcharge and price increase if you wish to continue your coverage.
Security coverage will never be dropped because of an accusation alone. Though we retain the right to cancel policies in the event of conviction, up until that point, Atlas Protection will represent you against individuals, companies, and other security agencies who accuse you of a crime.
II: In cases where security personal with a valid warrant signed by a third party arbiter seek access to your home, you must allow them inside, in accordance with the warrant. They must however (1) present the warrant, (2) identify themselves, and (3) wait for a representative from our office to validate the agents' identity as well as the warrant. Without those three steps, you are under no obligation to comply with any security personnel at your home, and Atlas Protection will prosecute the perpetrators if they force entry.
By signing this contract, you agree not to engage in the prohibited violations of others' rights, and agree that coverage is null and void if you are found guilty after investigation and arbitration has completed.

However the penetration is slow, Minister Rishad Bathiudeen said at a ceremony held in Colombo recently.
"As you may already be aware the global Islamic Banking and Finance (IBF) sector has been growing steadily,"
"As for Sri Lanka, the penetration of IBF is very low,"
"Of Sri Lanka's total banking and finance sector assets, less than one percent only belongs to Islamic banking and finance."
The Minister says this is due to lack of awareness among the Muslim people in the country."More than 85 percent of Lankan Muslims alone are unaware about IBF and how to join it. Also much more attention and keenness by our national banking and finance sector is needed for us to see bigger IBF growth here,"
Lankan banking and finance experts inform me that there are two ways to effectively expand the sector in Sri Lanka.
The Minister points out that banking experts say creating a demand from the market -that is from the consumers' side, and facilitation and offerings of Islamic finance products by the financial regulators of the government such as the Central Bank will help the growth.
"Sri Lanka primarily being a non-Islamic country has taken great steps to legislate and regulate Islamic banking,"
"We have amended the Banking Act in 2005 to accommodate Islamic financial transactions. Our key tax laws also were amended in 2011 to include provisions for Islamic Financial transactions."

Well I am looking at my calendar, and the weeks of travel drastically out number the days I am going to be home! I don't think I have traveled this much in a while. Since I am going to be on the road, or in the air a lot I decided to dedicate todays post on staying fit while you travel!
If you are a runner (my favorite form of cardio) Look up trails in the area you are traveling, or plan a running route. I have several different running routes I take when I am in Dayton at Marks house, and the lodge we are staying up North has a great bike path right out side of our cottage! Cardio Check!
Here are my stay fit tricks for while I travel!
1-Pack your gear. I always bring my Nike+, Running Shoes, and exercise cloths!
2-Pack Healthy Snacks. Packing healthy snacks for flights, train rides, and road trips not only saves money but lets you control what goes into your mouth!
Some of my favorite snacks for the road are apples (and peanut butter) veggies, if I take the train PB sandwiches are always a go, granola bars, trail mix and yogurt!
(Picture from fANNEtastic Food)
3-Be inventive. Sometimes I do not have access to a fitness center when I travel. So for strength training I do lots of push ups, and I bring a pack of resistance bands! I will also map out runs on local streets or bike paths!
Check out the resistance band work outs here.
4-Relax a bit, after all you are on vacation!
