Dartmoor Forest Parish (Princetown, Postbridge and Belliver) is served by the 98 bus route provided by Beacon Buses.
Note: There is a short-notice change to the operation of Bus Service 98 serving Postbridge and Princetown. As a result of a scheduled re-tender of the County Council contract, Jackett's are due to take over from Beacon Bus on Tuesday 27th May. However, Beacon will cease operation after the end of service on Saturday 19th April due to staff shortages which would have led to services failing to operate. As Jackett's are not in a position to start early, an interim arrangement has been made with Oakley's to operate the service from Tuesday 22nd April to Saturday 24th May inclusive. Thus continuity of service is ensured, although during the interim period low-floor vehicle types are not available.
There are no changes to the route or timetable.
There are no changes to the route or timetable.
During the summer season, from May 25th, the Parish is also served at weekends by the 48 and 82 bus routes. The 48 bus runs on Sundays only whilst the 82 bus is on both Saturday and Sunday. This year's timetable is below:

Social Media Management Tools To Use In 2018 (And Beyond)
In this digital age, how do you brand your business?
Online right?
Social media is one of the most important and effective ways to do branding.
Not only branding:
You can generate traffic and leads as well. If you use it wisely, you can generate lots of business from social media platforms itself.
But how do you manage all of your social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus)?
It is a quite tedious task to post and remain active on all the social media platforms at a time.
So, what you can do now?
You need some social media management tools, right?
Social media management tools will help you to manage your posting and monitoring activities very easily…
…And in this post, we will see the best social media management tools that you can use to brand your business in 2018 and beyond!
5 Best Social Media Management Tools:
1. Hootsuite
Whether you want to handle your own multiple accounts or you're an agency and want to handle hundreds of your client accounts.
You can manage it all with HootSuite.
It is quite easy to add accounts in HootSuite and even easier to schedule the social media posts in it.
You can also add managers to it, who will handle the client accounts.
Moreover, the company also schedules online webinar which will help you to understand social media marketing more deeply.
HootSuite has '1 user free' plan in which you can add up to 3 social media profiles.
2. MeetEdgar
There are tons of social media management tools that will schedule and post for you. But what if I tell you, there is one tool which will also reshare your evergreen posts?
MeetEdgar is one tool which will automatically share your evergreen content!
3. Buffer
A buffer is another great tool just like Hootsuite for scheduling your social media post. It covers almost all the widely used social media platforms.
Buffer allows you to set the different caption for every social media platform and shares it at the best time possible throughout the day.
It even tracks the links of your post. So you can analyze, which content is working best for you.
4. TweetDeck
TweetDeck, owned by Twitter is an amazing tool which let you schedule and post the tweets.
It will let you design your own custom multi-layered window. In which you can set your own custom notification, tweets, hashtags, etc.
TweetDeck is totally free and most widely used for handling twitter accounts.
IFTTT stands for "If THIS then THAT".
It is a great automation tool that will save you a lot of time, which you're spending on managing social media platforms, websites, and apps.
This tool is working on 'trigger' and 'action' terminology. So it links your social media platforms, websites, and apps.
Let us understand it in this way:
If 'trigger' then 'action'!
So, if you publish a blog post (trigger), then IFTTT will create a tweet (action).
So, these were the 5 best social media management tools that you must use in 2018.
What is social media management and which are the best social media management tools? I've tried to cover everything above and I hope now it is quite clear.
Which tool are you going to use first from the above list? Do let me know in the comments below.
Also, don't forget to share this post with your social media friends on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn!

Focused sessions 1
2:30–3:30 p.m.
Choose 1 session from the 10 described below. Sessions are available on a first-come,
first-serve basis and space is limited. Please have a second and third choice
ready in case your preferred session is full. A second set of focused sessions
follows this one with a 30-minute break between.
Living higher on the food chain: the power of design research
Brenda Laurel
The distinguished brand/identity designer David Canaan has wryly observed that
"the role of the designer is no longer simply to educate the rest of us
about good taste." Designers who can harness the power of research will
live higher on the food chain, both as independent contractors and within organizations.
A designer who knows how to deploy research appropriately betters the odds for
a successful, even delightful, match between an audience's needs and desires
with a product, service or experience. Good design research can unite all aspects
of an enterprise and align the goals of every contributor. Research happens
throughout the life cycle of a successful design and of an effective designer.
Brenda Laurel's talk will focus on how research can make design more muscular
as a practice and as a profession.
Better living through typography
Tobias Frere-Jones
Jonathan Hoefler
In lean times, graphic design can find itself considered a discretionary investment.
So why is it that against the backdrop of a flagging economy, typeface designers
Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones are doing their best work ever? During
the last recession, Hoefler and Frere-Jones learned that the most significant
typefaces aren't borne of caprice or vanity, but arise from the compelling
need to solve practical problems. For fifteen years, their work has focused
on providing measurable benefits to clients, and has helped to create an environment
in which fine typography has become essential. The strategies they've
developed for helping clients conserve economic, human and environmental resources
are now more relevant than ever.
Used Blues by Studio eg: A case study in creative reuse
Studio eg
As designers in the 21st century, we need to ask the question: "Where
do our raw materials come from?" As citizens of a finite, crowded planet,
we must ask: "What can we do with all the trash we're creating?"
At Studio eg, the guiding principle has been to look creatively at materials
commonly thought of as trash, and to discover new uses for them. The Used Blues
project is one such undertaking, redirecting thousands of pounds of hard-to-recycle
architectural blueprints out of the waste stream, and giving them new life as
marketing materials, notebooks, envelopes and bulk paper. Studio eg designers
Erez Steinberg and Gia Giasullo will discuss the process of developing a system
for transforming waste into beautiful and useful products.
Protecting creative rights in a global marketplace
Jacqueline Famulak
Frank Martinez
The global economy expands the dimensions of a problem that designers have
always faced: protecting their creative property rights. The issue is a critical one
and seems to be increasingly challenging as technology facilitates the ease with
which your work and others' can be exploited without permission. AIGA has
taken a strong position in protecting designers' rights and, as an essential corollary,
assuring that designers respect the rights of other creators. AIGA's special
counsel, Frank Martinez, and the president of the Canadian Alliance Against
Software Theft (CAAST), Jacqueline Famulak, will address what designers
should do, as both creators and clients for creative property, to protect rights
into the future. Questions and examples from the audience are encouraged.
Designing for life
Fritjof Capra
The great challenge of our time is to create sustainable communities, designed
in such a manner that their ways of life, businesses, economies, physical structures
and technologies do not interfere with nature's inherent ability to sustain
life. The first step in this endeavor must be to become "ecologically
literate"; the second step is to move from ecoliteracy to ecodesign. Fritjof
Capra will expand on his theories for a smaller audience and engage the audience
in the discussion.
Give us hope!
Kali NikitasStudents from five post-graduate programs have been invited to design and present comments and/or solutions to living and dealing with the uncertainty that exists in today's culture, economy and environment. Generally speaking, we never know what tomorrow brings. Uncertainty is constant. But, there is always the search for solutions and tools for living productive and meaningful lives. These students have been asked to help us (the audience) cope with life. Most of all, they have been asked to give us some hope! Following the presentations, there will be discussions with representatives from the programs. Post-graduate programs participating
are: Fabrica (Italy), Sandberg Academy (Holland), Institute without Boundaries (Canada), CalArts (USA) and Yale (USA).
From products to the profound: designing an organizational sea change
Lauralee Alben
As designers grapple with the diverse challenges of our modern condition in
business, society, and the environment, design seems uniquely suited to help
us find our bearings. Our challenge is to boldly design for sea change—marked
transformations both rich and lasting. Designer and consultant Lauralee Alben
will share the story of a cultural sea change that reached from the research
labs to the store shelves to the spiritual depths of a product development organization
in Procter & Gamble. It began as a quest to build a sustainable innovation
capability that balanced quality products with quality of life. It continues
on today, sometimes through uncharted territory, with design as its compass.
Cultures of violence, cultures of peace: Anti-war graphics in a digital
This session examines the history of American post–World War II anti-war
graphic design, and how designers have used their skills to create powerful
messaging in opposition to war. Using the last Gulf War as a case study, Plazm
designers will analyze how digital media has changed the fundamental manner
in which we observe, analyze and consume conflict and violence as well as how
it changed the graphic environment of Gulf War protest efforts, both in the
US and abroad. Joshua, Niko and Pete will also discuss anti-war.us, a new site
they are developing to collect and distribute anti-war materials to other graphic
designers as well as to activists all over the world.
Tim Davis
Companies should–and will–be judged on their behavior as rigorously as they are judged on their products. Learn how to separate truth from jargon as Tim Davis brings clarity to a complex subject, and gives designers the knowledge they need to form intelligent, responsible partnerships. Don't wait for your clients to tell you it's something you need to understand. Lead the way.
30-minute break between focus sessions
Focused sessions 2
4:00–5:00 p.m.
Choose one session from the eight described below.
Visceral inquiry
Wowhaus shares their unconventional design process: a multisensory, experiential
approach that taps resources outside the technological realm. Through hands-on
exercises (including a tasting of local fruits in season), Wowhaus invites you
to explore tools and inspiration found in everyday life.
The best of poster design from around the world
Steff Geissbuhler, panel moderator
Can we still think big and handle large formats, or has our little screen spoiled
our ability to think to scale? Is there still a need for the poster? Can you
display them anywhere (post no bills)? What about communicating an idea at a
glance—while zipping by in a car, subway or bus—from across the
street, partially obstructed, in the fog, at dusk? Come and see the very best
in poster design from the most important designers around the world. Too much
talk? These designs will knock your socks off!
Design as a life skill
Eames Demetrios
Eames Demetrios will weave a presentation from various facets of his recent
far-flung design-related endeavors, including his Eames Primer book, his alternative
universe www.kymaerica.com, the Powers of Ten enterprise, his authenticity consulting
work and his ongoing directorship of the Eames Office. Together, the ideas will
give a sense of the value of historical understanding for the contemporary designer,
but, just as important, suggest that design is not just a professional skill,
but a life skill.
Design education and the future of design
Doug Powell, panel moderator
In order for the dramatic and powerful new ideas being presented at this conference
to flourish, they must first take hold at the point where designers are being
molded. This session will address the question, What is the role of design in
the 21st century from the point of view of our current model for design education?
How can a system already stressed by crises in curriculum, enrollment and staffing
respond to this new vision? A panel of top educators and designers moderated
by AIGA national board member Doug Powell will discuss this and other questions
with plenty of opportunity for audience involvement.
Sustainability in practice, from a design, paper and production perspective
Don Carli
Bob Lewis
Jeff Mendelsohn
Steve Turner
While environmental responsibility is a well-established mindset, integrating
these values in design is challenging. This panel will discuss their successes
in incorporating sustainable principles into design projects for leading corporations
such as Gap, Hewlett Packard and IBM. The panelists will take you through the
steps of how to incorporate sustainability into the communication materials
you design, starting from the strategy and design phase, to the choice of paper,
through to the print production phase. The panel will also share some key findings
from recent studies of North American business attitudes, trends and issues
toward environmentally responsible design, publishing and packaging. In conclusion,
the session will use the AIGA Conference Program brochure as a case study. Attendees
are invited to sit down and discuss the paper, printing and design of the AIGA
conference program brochure, as a sample of a sustainable design, with the authors
of the piece; Jeff Mendelsohn, New Leaf Paper; Michael Hodgson, PhD Design;
and Bob Lewis, Anderson Lithograph.
The value of craft and tradition
Chuck Byrne
Jack Stauffacher
This is a session for people who love typography and fine printing. Excerpts
from a recent film by Jim Faris about the legendary printer and typographer
Jack Stauffacher will begin this session. Chuck Byrne will then discuss with
Jack how his background in the historic craft of typography and traditional
book design merged with his interest in Modernism. The resulting philosophy
has led Jack Stauffacher to produce books and experimental works of integrity
and great beauty.
The nature of design
David Orr
David Orr will explore indepth and with the audience how most of our ecological
problems result from design failures, and will make an eloquent and passionate
plea for design in more appropriate and responsible ways.
Managing the design studio of the future
Nick PatrissiLonn Lorenz
The challenges of the future are not just economic, environmental or creative.
We all know clients are demanding faster and faster responses. We also know
that technological improvements both enhance our capacities and demand that
we remain current on the new, new software. This session will bring in experts
from Creo and Adobe who are conceiving new ways to manage the creative and work
processes of the studio more effectively. They will share their vision of the
studio of the future and will discuss the systems they have developed to address
your challenges. Both Creo and Adobe are eager to hear how attendees envision
their needs in managing the creative process in the future.
Images and cultures: the challenges and sensitivities
Lewis Blackwell
Denise Waggoner
Getty Images' Denise Waggoner and Lewis Blackwell must deal daily with
one of the challenges that has become so evident in recent years: in a global
communication environment, the images designers use to enhance the power of
their work in one culture may carry just as powerful an offensive message in
other cultures. What are the dimensions of sensitivity that a designer must
develop in order to work effectively in this global economy?

CO2 Fractional laser is the most advanced conceptual fractional CO2 skin peeling laser system with a wavelength of 1064nm. In addition to its fine skin-peeling effect, it can effectively penetrate the laser beam into the corium. It is the most beneficial skin recovery system and can achieve the long-term effect of collagen remodeling as well as improvement of aged skin conditions due to exposure to light. It can be very safely applied to various types of scars compared to the existing 100% total layer skin peeling lasers (CO2 or Er: YAG). In addition, it does not require a long period of recovery or side effects. It can remodel various types of deformed scars and skin tissue very effectively. Surgery principle:
Through YAG Laser emitter. The micro pulsed laser beam shooting on target skin in nano level to achieve a controllable and precise treatment. The dimension of shooting area only can be measured in nanometer, which is precise enough for operator to control and adjust the treated depth and layer according to the clinical diagnosis.

The GOP is split right now. Oddly enough, Huckabee's stubborn reluctance to withdraw seems irrelevant. The real problem is McCain.
The unethical way McCain sucker punched Romney in Florida. The unprincipled way McCain stood with those who came here illegally and against those who took a "principled stand for the rule of law". The ungrateful way McCain sneers at those who in the private sector who, by the way, create the wealth that pays for our kick-ass military.
One way forward is to put Romney on the ticket. Here's why:
- Romney earned more delegates and votes than any other potential VPs. Had he stayed in, Mitt's lead over Huckabee would have increased.
- Romney can help McCain in swing states like MI, MN, MA, ME, NV and Colorado. Huckabee only helps him in states solidly GOP anyway.
- Romney's tough on illegals – very important for conservatives concerned GOP sold them out for pro-illegal immigration business interests.
- Romney can energize the base (and raise money) while McCain campaigns hard for independents – it's a winning combination.
- Romney fills some gaps in McCain's resume. Mitt's brilliant on the economy and champions, rather than scorns, profit-seeking capitalists.
- Romney as V.P. will reduce anti-McCain vote that Huck's getting
- Romney has raised more money and has more money than anyone.
- McCain looks like he might kick soon – nice to have Romney next in line.
Are there others? Maybe. Dr. Condi Rice is a favorite of mine – nobody has more foreign policy experience and she would effectively counter a woman or a black on the other side. Huckabee ate popcorn-fried squirrel in college – so, by law, he's out. I really like Giuliani but he ended up with zero states after mounting a 50 state campaign. Thompson voted no when asked to impeach Bill Clinton – that's a non-starter for me and most GOP. Bobbie Jindall of Louisiana is a possibility but, like Tim Pawlenty of MN and Charlie Crist of FL, can only offer one state with the promise of more.
Mitt offers the reality of more – he has millions of real votes and hundreds of real delegates. Mitt beat McCain in 5 key swing states – three that Kerry almost lost in 2004 (MN, MI, ME-31 electors) and two states Bush almost lost (NV, CO-14 electors). In addition, Mitt would help McCain tremendously in MA (12 electors), where Mitt was Governor, and neighboring NH (4 electors) where Kerry beat Bush by only 1% point. In contrast, almost every state Huckabee beat McCain (GA, AR, TN, KS) was solidly for Bush anyway in 2004.
Net, net – Romney on the ticket may add 47 to 61 electors. Bush beat Kerry by only 34 electors.
Another appeal of Romney as V.P. is that you have tens of millions of supporters, including more than a few hugely influential talk radio hosts, who feel Romney is due – that McCain hijacked the party and that Romney should have been our standard bearer. Putting Romney on the ticket gives those supporters permission to get behind McCain.
Back to reality – McCain hasn't appointed Romney V.P. or apologized for Florida or signed a no-Amnesty pledge so why should we support him? If he had won, "fair and square", we'd support him – but he didn't.
Honesty matters. Integrity matters. I'm not supporting McCain until he sets things right.
I don't care how many persuasive GOP establishment folks write articles about how much McCain is a "true conservative". This is up to McCain. So, I'll ask his "surrogates" to..stop wasting my time!
Set things right, Senator McCain, then ask for my support.

Charlie with his googles on (reminds me of Snoopy) ready for his first laser treatment (Companion Therapy Laser by LiteCure) at West Ashley Veterinary Clinic. (Thankful for this fine group of doctors)!
Charlie had surgery seven weeks ago today for a torn CCL (like an ACL in humans). He has progressed so much. After surgery, these laser treatments were recommended. They speed healing, help with inflammation and pain. I swear that he healed faster and with less pain than if he didn't have them. It only took a few minutes (depending upon condition and dog, etc.). This was the only time he wore the Doggles, darn cute, glad I snapped a photo! The other visits (he had ten), Fred just held him with Charlie's head facing the opposite direction of the laser (we had special goggles on as well).
Interested? Click HERE to find a practice near you that offers laser therapy. In Charleston, there are quite a few that do offer it.
To read more about all this laser can help, visit the Companion Therapy Laser website!
Catch you back here tomorrow!

While co-hosting The O'Reilly Factor on Friday, Juan Williams mentioned that he gets nervous walking past young black men.
His guest - Caroline Heldman, a political science professor at Occidental College - took issue with the statement, and the pair got into an argument.
On Monday, Williams guested on O'Reilly's program and continued to rant against Heldman.
"[If you disagree with the liberals], you're to be consigned off to the gulag because you're a bad person and you have varied from their orthodoxy," he said. "In this case, she was just reinforcing the orthodoxy and telling me that despite the fact that I'm black, I'm not allowed to say critical things that are going on in my own community. You've got to have a fixed point of view in order to be legitimate. She's gonna tell me what I need to do to be black now."
O'Reilly's other guest, The Daily Caller's Mary Katharine Ham, also went after Heldman.
"She's just a sensitive white liberal, and that's what you say in that situation. There's nobody who's more secure in their racial issues than a white liberal. We came to this ridiculous sort of spectacle where a white liberal is lecturing Juan Williams -- a black man who grew up during the Civil Rights era and spent much of his life chronicling it -- and she's explaining how to be sensitive to black men."
O'Reilly tried to see it from Williams' shoes before once again talking about The View.
"If I see four guys down there, even though I'm black, and they look like they aren't there for any purpose, I'm going to try to go around the block. It's just like the Muslim thing. It's just like The View ladies walking out on me.

Reduce the Risk During Breeding Season
Follow AAEP biosecurity guidelines to reduce the risk of infectious disease transmission during breeding season.
January 1, 0001
From the American Association of Equine Practitioners
The American Association of Equine Practitioners urges those involved in the breeding management of mares and stallions to reduce the risk of venereally transmitted diseases by utilizing the association's "Biosecurity Guidelines for Control of Venereally Transmitted Diseases." Developed in 2011 by the AAEP Infectious Disease Committee, the guidelines focus on controlling the transmission of equine arteritis virus, contagious equine metritis and equine herpesvirus-3.
Whether horses are part of a natural breeding program or an artificial insemination program, EAV, CEM and EHV-3 are highly contagious and have been shown to be transmittable between animals by direct horse-to-horse contact, contaminated semen, and also by indirect contact through the use of contaminated equipment and the personnel participating in the semen-collection process.
AQHA membership gives you discounts on many corporate partner products, the award-winning America's Horse magazine and much more! Join today.
The guidelines provide recommendations for developing a biosecurity program for horses at a breeding facility, including the pre-breeding care of stallions and mares and protocols for natural breeding and artificial insemination. "The horse industry has experienced a number of serious infectious diseases over the last four years, including an outbreak of contagious equine metritis," says Dr. Linda Mittel, chairwoman of the infectious disease committee. "CEM reemerged in late 2008 after being considered eradicated and was a devastating infection for the breeding industry, causing infertility, repeat breedings, as well as trade sanctions for semen and the shipping of horses. Biosecurity procedures are essential for all breeding activities in order to prevent future outbreaks."
Become an AQHA member today and get the most out of your horse lifestyle.

Collective Thoughts is Back!
credit: AFP
I'd like to thank you all for your patience through the times that this site has been quiet. Many of the original authors have gone on and are quite busy, but I didn't see why that had to be the end of our community.
After about 2 years of reflection, we've seen where our strengths and weaknesses were, and wanted to give you a list of what the new Collective Thoughts will be about:
1 – Updates. Things slowed to the point where we were updating only monthly. Look for many more frequent posts in our new organization.
2 – Focus. While the post focus is still going to be revolving around social media, what's meant by focus is the authors and their perspectives. I feel that we had the SEO / Social contingent, but this time around, we have a more rounded model across the realm of social – including more that are new to the game, PR types and the like.
3 – Bells and Whistles. We'll be making some changes and tweaks to the overall UI as well as adding in some of the latest new fangled fun gadgets.
4 – Authors. In the past, we have not had guest posts. We're changing things up a bit adding more regular and guest authors, though at this point it is by invite only. If you're interested in contributing, contact us.
Looking forward to coming back into the fold with you!

Prism Book Alliance® would like to thank Kate McMurray for stopping by today.
Title: The Long Slide Home (The Rainbow League #3)
Author: Kate McMurray
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Cover Artist: Aaron Anderson
Genre: Contemporary, Gay Fiction, M/M Romance
Rainbow League Book #3
Nate and Carlos have been the best of friends since their childhood playing baseball together in the Bronx. For the past few years, Nate's been in love with Carlos, though he's never acted on it and Carlos has never given any indication that he returns Nate's feelings. Nate has finally given up, determined to move on and find someone else, especially now that Carlos has shacked up with his boyfriend, Aiden.
Carlos doesn't understand why Nate has suddenly gotten weird, acting cold and distant at team practice for the Rainbow League. But if that's how things are going to be, Carlos is done trying to figure Nate out. But then Aiden reveals he has a violent side, and Carlos needs his best friend's support. On top of that, he starts to realize his feelings for Nate might not be limited to friendship. But in the aftermath of his relationship with Aiden, and with Nate having problems of his own, the timing is all wrong to make a real relationship work. As emotions run high, both have a hard time figuring out what is real and what is just convenient.
The Long Slide Home and Left Turns
I'll warn you up front, I took a tonal left turn in the third Rainbow League book.
If you've been reading the series, you know these are pretty light, sexy, fun summer books, or at least that was my intention. A bunch of guys play baseball together and have witty banter. That was essentially the premise I started with.
The third book is about Nate and Carlos, two characters who have been dancing around each other since Book 1, and I did originally intend to put them through the ringer before they got their happy ending. However, I don't typically write super angsty books. And this is a series that is mostly angst-free.
I've been telling people since I finished the book that this book is really different in tone from the first two in the series, and I stand by the choice to make the book that way because it works for these characters and their story.
But, when I say this, I also usually add, "I was going through some things."
For me, writing can be really therapeutic. Even just the act of spending time with characters or in a world separate from my own life will take my mind off whatever today's source of anxiety is. It's something I've been doing since I was a kid; I used to make up stories in my head when I was having trouble sleeping. I mean, I write just for fun sometimes, too, and I don't believe art has to come from some dark place. Writing brings me a lot of joy, which is why I keep doing it, regardless of what's going on in my personal life. But I do think there's a connection between what I'm thinking and feeling and what ends up on the page.
I can site a lot of examples of things from my life that wound up in my fiction, some probably more obvious than others. I think it's unavoidable. To a point, that's what writing teachers mean by "write what you know." That is, don't literally write your experience—if my books were all about thirtysomething publishing employees in New York City, that would get boring quickly—but use what you know to write about what your characters are experiencing. In romance, falling in love is a good example. I know what that feels like, so I can apply my experiences to my characters.
Last fall, a bunch of things happened in my family, and I didn't intend to write about them, but they were happening as I was writing The Long Slide Home. I could have made that a joyful book about two characters who were clearly meant for each other finally figure out they're in love, but I didn't think that worked for the characters, and I personally wasn't in a place emotionally where I could write that.
Nate and Carlos needed at least one crisis, but I gave them two: one that sends Carlos to stay with Nate for awhile and one that makes Nate extremely emotionally vulnerable. These two crises combined are what bring them together (finally). But I wanted the situations to be relatable and not over the top. I told all my beta readers that; I needed them to let me know if it was too much. And everyone kind of agreed: it's a lot that you put these characters through, but it feels real. So I thought, all right. I've got something here.
Because there's so much going on behind the scenes of every book. For me, each book I've written has a memory tied to it that has little or nothing to do with the book itself. Four Corners is a book that almost never was because my hard drive died when I was in the middle of writing it. I was listening to a lot of baseball podcasts when I was writing Out in the Field, and I remember the commentators predicting that the Royals were going to be the team to beat in a few years… and lo, they made the World Series in 2014. I wrote Save the Date in one crazy week right before my ex got married.
And The Long Slide Home is the book I wrote when my uncle was dying.
My uncle was truly one of the best human beings on the planet. He was maybe the most selfless person I've ever known, always working to make people's lives better, and he loved his family fiercely. When my mother (his sister) was having some major problems a few years ago, he dropped everything to come help, and I will always be grateful to him for that. He'd been battling leukemia for the last couple of years, and after a successful stem-cell transplant, we thought he was out of the woods. But then in October, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and we knew the end was coming. He passed away mid-December, at the age of 68.
Not to get maudlin, but he was the first family member of my parents' generation to die (who I was close to) and I spent this past holiday season thinking about that a lot, and how the people we love aren't immortal, no matter how much we wish they were. So that was in my head when I was finishing up the book at the beginning of January.
As a result, The Long Slide Home is sad at times, and deeply emotional, but I tried to make it joyful, too. Because I think out of the darkness, joy must come. I come from a big Irish family, where we believe firmly that funerals are not times to mourn the dead, but instead to celebrate a good life lived. (It's why Irish wakes often have open bars. If you're going to celebrate, do it the Irish way!) My uncle was a retired Army officer, and as befits a man of his rank, he had full military honors at his funeral—and was later buried at Arlington—which is a different kind of celebration than a rowdy Irish wake, but still is about honoring accomplishments, respect for a man who had achieved a great deal in his life and is worthy of being remembered.
And so, too, in the story of Nate and Carlos, I wanted there to be joy, because out of the ashes comes love.

Mautic Case Study: Local grocery store increases customer engagement and drives sales with Mautic
"Our customers love receiving special offers and coupons from us… and it helps drive sales"
Owner, independent grocery store
The store had recently decided to try and improve customer engagement through SMS text messaging. They signed up for a solution from SenText Solutions, and soon had around 230 subscribers. In spite of the signup rate, they became frustrated with the limitations of using only SMS messaging:
- They were only able to send a limited amount of information in a message
- There was no way to collect additional information, such as customer names, so messages could not be personalized
- Customers were not able to opt in to only receive certain types of messages, or offers
What they did like, was being able to send time-restricted offers to customers, such as "FLASH SALE: Buy one coffee get one free – offer expires in two hours! Don't miss out!"
The owner of the grocery store wanted to keep using SMS messaging, but didn't want the expense of setting up a website – one of the reasons they chose SMS messaging. That left the problem of collecting information from customers.
Accent Digital Marketing created a simple landing page for the store using a shared domain name. We created a sign-up form to collect customers' emails and cell phone numbers. Customers can also enter their names and birthdays but these are not required.
When a customer signs up, they enter their information, confirm their opt-in to emails and SMS messaging, then have the chance to select which types of offers they want to receive.
As well as building the landing page and forms, Accent created a number of campaigns and integrated Twilio text messaging to send SMS messages. We also trained the staff in how to create emails and marketing messages using templates to ensure consistency.
Instead of being limited to SMS messages, the grocery store now has the option of sending an email, an SMS, or both. And the monthly cost is the same as they were paying for just SMS messaging.
Customer engagement has improved and the ability to select relevant offers is something that customers like.
"Our customers love receiving special offers and coupons from us, but I used to get customers asking if we could stop sending them pet food offers, or alcohol coupons", the owner told us. "Now they select what they want to receive, we keep more of them in the system, and it helps drive sales."
In addition to making offers more relevant, customers are recommending their friends and family sign up with the store. The result has been an increase in the number of customers signing up to receive offers. The initial 230 SMS subscribers has increased to over 750 customers who now receive personalized, relevant offers.

Taking these questions into consideration while in the ONLY "First Time" Open Enrollment period you have is MOST important! This can be the difference of THOUSANDS of dollars out of YOUR pocket annually!

This OS is more sexy and fun..not the hot kinds I usually write..just saying to set expectations. But read on...you won't be dissappointed
Prologue -Arnav knows the truth about Khushi's
innocence Khushi still does not know why Arnav married her and yes their
marriage has not been consummated as yet.
It's day before holi and Arnav is very irritated with
all the holi festivities going on in RM. There were holi things
everywhere..Colors in every room, water pichakari(guns) here and
there..his home was turned into some kind of holi stadium. He needed to
work! Why people did not understand that simple fact!
went to the only place in RM where he could find peace, i.e his room
and stepped outside to the pool side to work on his laptop. Suddenly he
heard the noise of payals and a laughing Khushi quickly entered their
room and locked it while yelling to somebody outside, "Sorry jiji,
clearly this time I won."
irritatedly observed Khushi, damn there was no peace here also. Khushi
and her saree were soaking wet, after locking the door unaware of her
husband's presence, she started removing her saree, standing only in her
white colored blouse and petticoat. The blouse which also somewhat
wet, moulded to Khushi's breasts and wet white blouse gave him glimpse
of the peach skin underneath. Arnav's irritation disappeared in a flash
as he saw Khushi's state and got replaced by smoldering desire to have
her. He slowly, stealthily started walking towards Khushi, so as to not
scare her away. Khushi in the meanwhile removed her blouse and walked
towards the closet to pick another set of blouse and saree and as always
happened with her, bumped in to her husband. Arnav held her from her
bare waist to steady her, and her hands automatically went to his
shoulders. "Aap yahan.." she said in a startled voice and looked at him.
But finding Arnav's heated gaze on her very visible breasts made her
aware of her semi-undressed state. "Hey DM" she gasped and pushed him
away and ran back into a corner, facing the wall, so as to hide herself
from his hot eyes.
Arnav couldn't
help smiling at her shyness and innocence. But her milky white
beautiful skin on her back and waist exposed to his eyes beckoned him,
Ok fine, he would go slow, he thought to to himself, but he could not
leave her totally unmarked! He lazily walked towards her with a wicked
smile, picked up some color on the way from a 'thaal' which lay in the
corner. Khushi was trembling with mixed feelings as she sensed him
standing behind her. He slowly leaned in kissing her neck, his breath on
her neck creating havoc on her senses and whispered with a smirk.."Why
are you so scared, I only want to play holi with you" and slowly wrote
ARNAV on her back with the color in his hands... starting with 'A' at
the base of her neck and ending the 'V' just above her petticoat. "Happy
Holi Khushi!" he again whispered and with that he left again for the
poolside and closed the french doors after him.
moment he left, she grabbed her clothes from the closet and ran to the
bathroom and locked the door. Khushi, leaned against the closed door,
still trembling at feeling of his fingers on her body few moments ago.
What came over him? He never touched her like this, she thought..and now
she would have to have bath again since he put color on her..she
thought a little irritatedly. However she didn't realize he had written
his name on her back or that the color he had unknowingly used was fast
color and would not go with a mere shower.
showered and wore another saree, left her hair open and went downstairs
to help out in the kitchen. While helping in the kitchen, Anjali
suddenly noticed some weird markings on her back. "Arrey Khushiji what
is this on your back?" "What?" Khushi asked in a surprise tone. Anjali
moved her hair aside and could spot something that looked like a
beginning of the letter A rest was covered by her blouse and then the
letters 'AV' were visible. She started laughing, "Aarey Khuhsiji why do
you have Arnav's name on your back?" "Arnavji ka naam??" Khushi asked
in surprise "Nahi..kaise?" and then the 'how' dawned on her..Before she
could reply anything back, a smirking voice from the kitchen door
said'"Khushi why did you write my name on your back? Everybody knows
that you belong to me. No need to mark it in writing." His voice
contained barely suppressed laughter. Khushi irritatedly said'"now see
here Arnavji"'He cut in and said'"NOT Here...let me see here'" and
pushed her hair aside to admire his handiwork.
Anjali could not control
it anymore and burst out laughing and went outside the kitchen. Seeing
that they were alone, Arnav took another opportunity to tease Khush, he
put his hands ahead and caressed her tummy and leaned in whispered
"Waise my name looks good on your back, maybe we should also write it on
the front also?" Khushi blushed and ran outside to safety in the
presence of other people. Arnav lazily followed behind. On the dining
table, Anajli had apparently told the other folks who were now busy
teasing her. Khushi flashed irritated eyes at Arnav with a promise that
she would get back to him..
Next day was
Hoil, Khushi excitedly went down to the kitchen but right then NK gave
her 2 glasses of Milk-like drink and said this is for you and
Nannav..special Holi drink'.and as an afterthought he added, "Anjali di
gave this and said you and Nannav need to drink it now before coming to
play Holi" he said with a smile. She said OK..and took the drink to
their room, but in between she realized she had a perfect opportunity to
get back to him, so she put some poppy seeds in his drink like she had
done once before and smiling to herself she took the drinks up.
Anjaliji has sent this holi drink for us. Here this is for you'" Arnav
was on his guard however. He knew Khushi would get back to him for
yesterday so he slyly took his outside on pretext of network connection
while talking on the phone and dumped the contents outside. Khushi
meanwhile drank the other one and smirked when Arnav gave her the empty
glass. She went to the kitchen to keep the tray but came back to their
room in 20 minutes because she was feeling very strange.
watched Khushi as she came in, she was looking strange. Her eyes seem
glazed, and movements seemed a bit uncoordinated. He asked her if she
was feeling OK..and she replied in a slurred voice, that she was feeling
OK OK OK and then started giggling.
got alarmed..something was not right here, "Kya hua Khushi?" but Khushi
just continued giggling. She was OK just half an hour ago, Arnav
thought to himself, what happened..she was Ok till that holi drink..HOLI
DRINK..DAMN! "Khushii, Khushi did di actually give you the holi drink?
Who gave you the holi drink?" Khushi thought for 5 mins and said
"Nanheji gave me" and started laughing. Arnav's suspicions got
confirmed. "Khushi Khushi..Tum theek ho?" He asked her again. Khushi
went to Arnav and put her arms around his neck and planted a kiss right
on his lips..and then giggled again and answered "Ab hum thik hai" Arnav
was stunned. Before he could react, she bowled him over again.
"Arnavji I have a question for you, Why didn't you do anything on our
suhag raat?"
Arnav was SHOCKED! "WHAT!!
"he exclaimed. "Not What...why why" and she giggled.."actually What
also.. What happens in Suhag raat? I asked jiji what happens..and she
said you should know! Arnavji must have done it too! go ask Arnavji,
don't talk to me about that stuff. So tell me what happens in Suhag
raat..and whatever happens why you didn't do it?" and she asked pouting
her lips sulkily.
For the first
time in his life, Arnav was stumped for an answer. Here, his sexy wife
was asking him to talk about things he had been dreaming since forever
long and she actually wanted him to do it. Her arms around his neck,
her breasts pressed against his chest and and her pouting bottom lip
was not helping at all. He tried to be noble and told her "Khushi ..why
don't you lay down..you will feel better," and he led her towards the
bed. But Khushi refused to lie down alone and tagged Arnav along and
pulled his hand when he was making her lay down..so he fell fully on top
of her. "Uff Arnavji what are you doing? Are we going to do our suhag
raat stuff now? I hope not, cause it's not night..and it's called suhag raat..you know" Arnav rolled over. He was caught between so many emotions, tenderness at her innocence that suhag raat can
only happen in the night, amused with her nonsensical talks but most
potent of all was arousal - he was heavily turned on with all her suhag
raat talks and the heavenly feel of her soft body against him.
rolled over and made to get up but she put one of her legs on top of
his leg and held his arms and smiled sweetly at him. She continued her
chatter on Suhag raat. "You know I have one theory on what really
happens on suhag raat." Inspite of himself he asked her.."ache what is
it?" "No no it is very disturbing..and I don't think it's even
possible..you know it cant fit at all, the sizes don't
match...something's wrong with that theory." she replied. Arnav tried
his best to not laugh out loud. He really wanted to show her that it
would fit..Dear lord..how it would fit!. He noncommittally muttered
"accha?" "Haan" she said. "But I am going to find out from Laat
Governer. After all he is my husband he needs to have some
responsibility. Give me my phone, I am calling Arnavji" she commanded.
Arnav trying hard to suppress laughter, handed her the phone. She
dialed his number, and when the voice mail beep came she
ordered.."Arnavji, you are not fulfilling your responsibilities as a
husband, you need to have suhag raat with me..tonight!" Arnav instigated
her from behind, "any other message you want to leave?" Khushi thought
for some time and said "Haan..why are you not not wearing Indian
clothes more often? you should wear them more often! you look good in
it. Actually on second thoughts.. why don't you just remove your shirt
more often? You will look even better!!" Arnav raised his eyebrows and
asked if there was any other message she wanted to give. She said no and
blew a kiss on the phone, Muaaah! And disconnected and half lay down on
Arnav and instantly falling asleep.
looked at his wife's innocent face, her soft body pressing against
his..he was overcome with desire so strong, he thought to himself,
tonight you will get your wish Mrs. Khushi Singh Raizada and gave a slow

OK, you've got your nail art techniques down and you have an array of design ideas stored up in memory, but how do you put the word out about your talent and sell the service to clients?
OK, you've got your nail art techniques down and you have an array of design ideas stored up in memory, but how do you put the word out about your talent and sell the service to clients? Nail artists share their approaches:
Tanis Darling, (Perfect Ten, Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada): I opened my salon a year ago and at the time there was no nail art to be seen in town. Knowing that I had to create a demand and then fill it, I would whip out my striper brush after polishing each new client's nails and paint some very simple stripes or feathering in gold or silver. Each client asked, "What are you doing?" I'd tell her I was customizing her nails with a little nail art and although I usually charged for the service, since she was new, I would treat her. Nail art turned out to be a great source of income for my salon.
Terri Taricco, (R.G. Shakour, Westboro, Mass.): At my former salon, we applied Velcro to nail art tips and put them on everything — our business card holders, literature holder, and cash register. We replaced the tips with new designs as the season- changed. If we liked a particular nail art photo of our artwork, we'd blow it up into a poster and hang it on the wall. We also made some of the nail tips into tie tacks or pins and wore them on our lab coat or lapel. This always got customers talking.
Elaine Raymond, (Nail Envy, Biddeford, Maine): Because I love nail art so much, my husband built the most fabulous table with a sunken center and glass top to display my nail art. My clients can sit and overlay on one nail so that the art lasts longer. In return, the client usually requests the new system on all of her nails.
DeEdra Carter, (Fortune 500, Rogers, Ark.): I display my nail art tips that can be worn year-round in an 8- by 10-inch shadow box. The shadow box has a black velvet background, so I use contrasting colors to paint the designs, then glue each tip to the velvet. For seasonal nail art, I display my tips in a 5- by 7-inch shadow I box and match the back-ground to the season. The displays keep my nail art clean, and are a professional way to show off my work.
Cathy Reynolds, (Impressions Beauty Salon, I Summerville, S.C.): I have found the best way to market my nail art is to wear it. It attracts a lot of attention and you can hand out a I business card when you accept the compliment. I ah o keep nail art display boards near my workstation as well as a scrapbook.
Rima Kitsko, (Spoiled Rotten Nail Studio, Indianapolis, Ind.): I have a three-ring binder in the reception area that's filled with nail-related items of interest to clients. Inside my "Nail Book" are plastic sheet covers containing magazine and newspaper articles, trends in polish and nail shapes, nail art photos, and nail jewelry catalogs. I also have a client who is my nail art model (and guinea pig). I do her art for free and in return she passes out special cards that entitle the bearer to free nail art with any paid service and gives them the option of becoming one of my models. I also have black and white business cards with an outline of a large fingernail on the front, which I fill in with nail art.

Most people enjoy taking pictures. This can be attributed to the fact that professional photographers put a great deal of effort into each and every shot. The following article contains some key tips used by professional photographers to get stunning shots.
Simplicity is often the key to snapping that great photograph. Often, you can create a magnificent photo without having to play with different color settings and motion settings.
A dSLR is an essential tool if you seek to take more professional photographs or to seriously embrace photography itself. These single-lens reflex cameras allow you to see your subject in real time as you take the picture. For the most detailed pictures and largest image sensors, you want to invest in a full-frame DSLR.
All parts of the landscape will be visible in your picture, so be sure to pay attention to what will be at the front of the image. Compose the frame in such a way as to make the foreground as important to the image as the background is to create a truly striking photo.
You should always be on the lookout for photographers who inspire you. There are so many different ways to take great photos, and looking at these other photographers can remind you of ways you haven't thought of.
Pay attention to your lighting, and adjust the white balance if necessary. When you take shots inside, you usually end up with a yellowish color because of the light-bulbs. It is often not necessary to alter the lighting itself, when the white balance can adjusted to give you a wide variety of options. This should give a much more professional looking appearance to your photographs.
Pay attention to your lighting, and adjust the white balance if necessary. When you are taking photos inside, many times your pictures will end up looking a little yellow from the light bulbs. Instead of trying to play with the light in your space, adjust the feature called white balance instead. You will see your photos come out much more professionally.
Usually in life we have been trained to see things that are centered and even as good. We value perfection, so if you're trying to create great photos, frame your subject so that it is slightly off-center. Beware of auto-focus features that lock in to whatever is in the center of the lens. You can use the manual focus to center the picture the way you want it, then take the photo.
If you keep your batteries charged at all times, you will not miss the picture of a lifetime. Digital cameras are power hungry, and the batteries do not last long. They especially use power with the LED screen in use. Make sure they are charged fully before you start shooting. Another great idea would be carry an extra set of batteries for the camera so you don't miss your shot.
Make sure to read the camera's manual. The reason is because manuals are very thick and inconvenient to carry around. Most people throw manuals away without giving them a second look. Instead of throwing them out, use time to read its contents. Doing this can drastically improve your photos and solve the common problems and questions that come up.
Above all else, photography is an art form meant to be enjoyed. Taking photographs should allow you to capture the essence of a memorable event in your life, or perhaps just to snap a glimpse of everyday life. Have fun when actually taking the pictures and will will soon fall in love with photography.
Look for patterns in the background when taking photographs. Patterns add an appealing aspect to a photograph, particularly if they are repeating patterns. They also make visually interesting backgrounds for other subjects.
Inspire your own creative photographs by joining photography clubs or taking photos with another photographer. Others interested in this hobby can prove a valuable source of information and learning. It is important, however, to never allow their artistic style to affect how yours develops. Compare the same objects together and notice how each picture differ.
Frame all of your photographic shots. Try to use natural frames in the pictures you take. Use natural elements in your backdrop to frame the subject of your picture. This helps to build your compositional skills.
Experiment with different perspectives, scale and photographic expression. A simple object may appear more artistic if it's in a setting which makes it appear a different size than it is or in a funny or original situation. You will be able to take good pictures of familiar objects by working on the composition.
Though it is tempting to put your digital camera on the lowest setting in order to get more images on the card before having to download them, make sure you realize what you are sacrificing in terms of print quality. Only use the low settings if you know for a fact that the only place you are going to look at them is on your computer.
There are three important factors you need to consider when the subject of your photograph is a landscape. A balanced landscape picture should have a foreground, midground and background. Most art uses these three factors when producing any quality work. Photography is no different.
Nearly any subject can look more interesting if you adjust your camera settings, shoot from an alternate angle or use different lighting. Experiment with these options prior to taking actual photographs so that you have a better handle on how they will affect the shot.
Don't hesitate when taking photos; however, squeeze the trigger, don't jerk it. Stay ready to shoot, and you will not miss a fleeting image. You can easily lose the attention of your subjects if you delay the shot, and the perfect moment is then lost forever. Do not pay so much attention to adjusting your settings that you miss the shot you want to take.
Red eye is a minor detail but it can really ruin an otherwise noteworthy picture. Red eye can be prevented by avoiding using flash when you can. If you cannot avoid using the flash, be sure that you request that the subject does not look into the camera lens. Some cameras also have a red eye feature.
Practice Shots
One of the first things you should learn is how sharpness affects your photographs. Generally speaking, you will see the most sharpness in the middle of the lens and the image. Sharpness degrades towards the outer edges of your camera frame.
Adjust to new backdrops and surroundings by taking practice shots and learning how the surroundings react to your camera. Every photographic opportunity is different, and taking several practice shots can help you figure out the best way to approach the picture. You have very little control over your surroundings, so realize that changes in weather or scenery can provide different types of lighting. Make sure to snap plenty of practice shots to make sure you're getting the right shot.
Do not limit your human photography to simply taking pictures of faces. The human body has multiple parts that could be considered beautiful, and could be the subject of your photos.
Create an interesting silhouette. Many people rely on the sun to create a natural silhouette; however, there are many different ways to reproduce this effect. If the difference in lighting between the subject and background is significant, with the background being brighter, it will create a silhouette. Try putting your subject near a window with light pouring in from behind or even just put an external flash to the rear of the subject. However, it's important to remember that unfavorable features may be emphasized in the outline of someone's body or face.
Take close pictures. Don't be afraid to get right in on the subject of your photos. Really try to fill your camera's frame with only your subject. If there is too much in the background, it will make the regular picture too cluttered. If you keep your subject close, its intricacies and specifics can be seen more easily.
Learn how to edit your photographs. There are lots of different editing software programs you can use. Try different software and choose one that allows you to edit your pictures easily and in a variety of ways. A program that is easy to learn is best.
Look to get inspired by ordinary items. Take some pictures with your camera of everyday items you use. You can use anything, like pencils, appliances, or money. Experiment with composition and form. It is entirely up to you to make it as unique as you want it to be. Make it a challenge to turn something from ordinary into interesting.
You can make your pictures more interesting by having focus points in the foreground if you are taking a photo of a landscape. A simple addition to any photo really adds an additional view sometimes. The viewers will now see the frame entirely, and it will really help them to empathize with the main subject.
Crop pictures to make them better. There are times you may think your photo would be excellent if it weren't for that sock laying in the background. Sometimes, you may have taken a perfect picture that is slightly off-center. Simply fix the issue by cropping the photo.
When you are taking landscape photos, mount your camera on a tripod. You don't want a perfect landscape shot to be ruined because the camera jiggled at the wrong moment, so make sure your camera is resting on a steady base.
You need to know your camera well if your goal is to take the best possible images. Take the time to learn everything you can about your camera.
Think of an idea before you start taking photos. Spend a few minutes brainstorming and coming up with ideas that might improve the quality of your shot. Photography is part technical skill and part art, and well-thought out plans and detailed attention definitely produce better shots. You will be rewarded with much better pictures, which can be exciting and inspiring, by following this approach.
Nighttime photography can totally change how a subject looks. When no natural lighting is available, it is vital to make sure that the little bit of light you do have and your camera settings will work well together. Photographs can be successfully taken at night with artificial lighting as well as slow shutter speed.
When taking a photograph with your cell phone you must be even more careful about the lighting you use. Since few phone cameras contain a flash, you have to work with the light available to you. If you can zoom in, it will help to block out sunspots and shadows.
Concentrate on photos that are more interesting, ones that show a typical setting from a new angle or feature unusual subjects. Your memory card has the ability to hold a lot of photos but only put a few of your favorites in your album.
Increase shutter speed when you are taking photos in lowly lit areas. You will not get a blurry photo by doing so. For the best results, set the shutter to 1/250th of a second, or at least 1/200th.
As it is with everything else in life, practice makes perfect. So go out and practice your photography skills. Digital photography has inspired a whole new type of photography. Digital cameras help you avoid wasting money. You can view all your shots on your computer.
Taker your camera and start practicing these tricks. Before you realize it, your picture's quality will increase!
Think about getting a tripod. Tripods eliminate the effects that your shaky hands can have on your pictures. Tripods are useful when your are photographing events in darker areas and when the subject is at a far distance. If you will be taking any pictures of yourself or using timed photography, consider getting a tripod.

Draw #3: USA vs Switzerland, Early Ends
End #3: On both sheets this morning, the ice seems a bit slow, leading to many shots that come up short. So promptly the US over-compensates and puts both lead rocks a couple of feet deeper into the rings than they wanted to. A series of hits and rolls leaves SU with two in the 12' and the US with one, SU lying 1st and 2nd shot. After more hits and rolls, SU keeps the rings split and scores 2.
As we expected, because there are only two games at this morning's draw, and because Canada isn't playing, there are only about 500 people here as the draw begins.
End #2. SU begins with two in the top 12', US with a corner guard but then hits and rolls beyond cover with the 2nd rock of Ryan (US lead). A series of misses leaves the rings empty with a US corner guard, which Polo (US 2nd) draws around. Ramstein tries to follow it down but overcurls. Rojeski (US third) puts up an ineffectual guard, but Ramstein is light trying to draw around it, and Rojeski wrecks on it, but his rock serves as yet another guard that can be raised later. Schwaller tries a really difficult chip of his own rock onto the US rock but doesn't quite move the US rock far enough. Fenson draws around the guards (I'm not quite sure why SU didn't go in first) and lies two. SU tries to draw as well, but comes up short, leaving yet another guard. The US might be able to hit a SU rock on the edge of the 8' and roll in to score 3. Nope. a bit light.
End #1. Standard opening. Nice papering of the guard by Ramstein (SU third) to lie two, but Fenson (US skip hit one and rolled behind cover). In response, Schwaller (SU skip) tapped his own rock behind cover, rolling the shooter behind another guard to lie one or maybe even two again, leaving the US in a dilemma. Fenson hits the SU rock in the back of the 4' but rolls a bit, and the speculation along the media bench is that SU lies one with a draw to the 4' for two. But Schwaller was wide of the broom and rubbed on the guard. Measure to see who scores..... SU scores 1 with the hammer.

Hello to my sister scrappers! Hope you're having a great weekend!
Even though I cannot be truly prolific because of my health issues, I feel that it is time for me to have a couple people join my creative team. Right now it is just my friend, Pat (of "A Rose for Patricia" fame!!), and she needs some company!! LOL
The requirements are really simple...you would receive all of my kits, paper packs, etc. without charge and would be asked, in return, to create a minimum of three layouts from each kit/pack and post them in three on-line galleries. In addition, I would ask that you create at least one layout from each freebie offered (that is not a sampler of a kit) and also post them in your three on-line galleries. I am asking that, if chosen, you agree to sign on for a six month period of time.
To be considered, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and tell me a bit about yourself, your scrapbooking style, and why you want to join my team. Also, please include links to any online galleries that you currently have. Don't worry if you are just a beginner, as I am definitely a beginner designer!! LOL We will learn together. The most important thing to me is that our styles work well together and you have good communication skills. A sense of humor is definitely a plus!!! HA HA HA
Sooo....wanna come out and play???

Meanwhile, unaware of my predicament, Augustus had discovered a dilapidated station with a mining cart and cart tracks leading toward a small town visible in the valley below. Recognizing that this cart system could provide us with useful transportation, Augustus utilized his natural adroitness and began to make repairs.
Back in the mine, after quietly freeing myself from the ropes, I sprang into action with a flip and a few choice chops to the perpetrator's neck and a darting kick to the jaw. The thief crumpled into a pile like so much dirty laundry. I quickly took the ropes that had bound me and securely fastened them around the swindler.
I made my way outside and found Augustus hard at work putting the finishing touches on the mining cart. Needless to say, he was quite shocked by my story. Augustus had news of his own, however. He had fixed the cart so that we could ride it down the rails into the town that he had spied below. Augustus and I went back into the mine to collect our dirty laundry. We felt that the townspeople below would be interested in meeting this ghost.
We threw the thief into the cart, and Augustus and I rode in front. What a ride! Augustus was right, we made it down to the town in record speed and saved ourselves quite a bit of climbing. The tracks led to the town's old refinery and smelting plant, which had not been in operation since the mine closed. I am afraid we gave an old man at the plant quite a scare when we came barreling towards him in the cart.
