Are you as knowledgeable as you could be about the latest marketing techniques? Are you using Facebook to its full marketing potential? Maybe you've come from the print or broadcast advertising world and don't know much about online marketing methods. Whether you're a marketing pro or a novice, the tips here are going to help you out in your marketing campaigns.
The best way to engage your followers is to reply to what they write on your wall or about your company. It is important to monitor your wall daily and to check out @ messages for your brand as well. Respond to them quickly for best results. That goes double if the person has a problem with your products or services.
Be sure that anything that you post online has a link to your Facebook page on it. If you're running a blog, for instance, it's easy to set it so that links and summaries of your latest posts are automatically cross-posted to Facebook. You can even link your Twitter account to your Facebook page and have all tweets show up there as well.
Facebook Ads
Take advantage of Facebook ads and all they have to offer. Regular posting, while valuable and beneficial, only goes so far. Purchasing Facebook ads will help you reach your goals. These ads are not expensive and can quickly increase your followers and your sales.
Keep your page creative and different from other pages. Add colors and pictures to your page. Facebook users usually respond better to these pages compared to plain ones.
Consider Facebook to be a platform in sharing content. Facebook is useful for more than chatting with your friends. Don't neglect this powerful marketing tool. Use Facebook to promote your blogs from other channels. Facebook usually drives up a bunch of traffic.
This article can really help even everything out, considering the Facebook helps tie traditional marketing methods with its methods. But you must use these tips the right way. Watch your business grow through your marketing efforts.

Teso la Monja "Almirez"
2012 Teso la Monja "Almirez"...$24.99
The 2012 Almirez (a 1,000-case cuvée of 100% Tinta de Toro) was aged 14 months in French oak. This sensational wine comes from vines planted between 1949 and 1999. Yields were a conservative 1.8 tons of fruit per acre. An inky/purple color is followed by aromas of camphor, ground pepper, blackberries and cassis. This full-bodied, Northern Rhône Valley-like Spanish red exhibits meaty/lard notes, terrific density and purity, and a finish that lasts nearly 40 seconds. It should drink nicely for a decade or more.

Rutherford County Schools
The National Exchange Club recently dedicated a Freedom Shrine to Rock Springs Middle School.
The shrine is a permanently mounted collection of 30 of the most important and historic American documents, including the Declaration of Independence, Constitution of the United States, Gettysburg Address and Martin Luther King's historic "I Have a Dream" speech.
"These documents show our nation's youth the strength and courage of their forefathers," said Stephen Wayne, principal of Rock Springs, "by allowing them to read, with their own eyes, the immortal words of inspired Americans who so decisively changed the course of history."
The dedication ceremony was comprised of eighth grade social studies classes, honor choir, Rock Springs teacher who previously served in the military and LaVergne High School JROTC Color Guard.
"Rock Springs would like to thank everyone who was involved in making this day another successful day at Rock Springs Middle," Wayne concluded.

Something we've been keeping an eye on as of late are the differences in methodology that Lucasfilm takes when it comes to promoting its new Star Wars films. There were some notable differences between Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. But that was to be expected, since one is part of the main episodic saga and one is a standalone spinoff. But what about comparisons between The Force Awakens and its direct follow-up Star Wars: Episode VIII?
We're just about a year out from Rian Johnson's Star Wars: Episode VIII. So where doe it stand, in terms of what we knew about The Force Awakens at this point? For starters, we knew the film would be called The Force Awakens! The official subtitle for the J.J. Abrams-directed film was revealed on November 6, 2014- Over a year before the arrival of The Force Awakens in theaters (December 18, 2015). As of this writing, it's November 28 and we still don't have an official subtitle for Episode VIII.
And what about a trailer?
The first teaser trailer for The Force Awakens actually arrived exactly two years ago today- also north of a year before the film's premiere. When can we expect to finally lay eyes on a trailer for Episode VIII?
Some might assume that a teaser for the film, which wrapped quite a while ago, could be attached to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. That would make sense, right? You want to excite and titillate your target audience, and you're going to have a huge captive audience of Star Wars fans when Rogue One arrives on December 16. Well, turns out there's a reason we haven't heard any kind of official confirmation of a Star Wars: Episode VIII trailer debuting alongside Rogue One:
Because it isn't.
According to the International Business Times, which believes the claims of a YouTube user, Lucasfilm isn't planning on rolling out the first trailer for Star Wars: Episode VIII until Q1 of 2017. If they're going to link it to another blockbuster from its parent studio (Disney), which tends to be the common practice, then that could very well mean that we'll see an Episode VIII trailer will hit the net when Beauty And The Beast comes out on March 17.
The live-action remake of the beloved animated classic is the only Disney release slated to come out in quarter one. So if the IBT report (and, by extension, the YouTuber they cited) is to be trusted, then that's the most likely timeframe for a trailer.
None of this has been confirmed, so take it all with a grain of salt. But there's definite reason to buy into the logic of it. There's very little reason to think that a teaser will be attached to Rogue One, as we likely would've heard about that by now. And we've also had those reports of Spider-Man: Homecoming debuting a trailer with Rogue One, so that film would likely get the biggest promotional spotlight that Disney wants to shine. Meanwhile, you can't think Lucasfilm would wait until Q2. So Q1 makes the most sense.
Still, this is all just a rumor for now.
Do you think it means anything, good or bad, that The Force Awakens and Episode VIII are on seemingly different promotional schedules up to this point? Discuss.

The need
Once a driver elects to use their own vehicle for business use, it is the employer's responsibility to ensure that the driver conducts regular maintenance and safety checks. Historically capturing this vital information has proved difficult, both in administrative terms and driver compliance.
The solution
With this in mind we have developed Fleet2TM - our online risk management product aimed specifically at these drivers and to ease the process.
Supported by a live reporting structure, historic, driver-supplied information is held on the system, enabling you to produce evidence that you have requested drivers to conduct safety checks to ensure their vehicle remains roadworthy and legal. In turn, this means you can identity drivers who have not submitted maintenance and safety information and act accordingly.
The process is entirely paperless and managed electronically.

River flows through three worlds.
It connects three world,
in most evident way possible.
A river is a magical thing,
a magic, moving, living part
of all the three worlds.
River begins, sustains and finishes,
while Doing any of these three
River never cease flowing,
River never cease Being.
Every drop of it
Never cease to be a River.
So was she...
knew very well
how to be a River.
She, when was young,
was very restless,
she would jump and dive
seeking unknown,
seeking untested.
and then she reached
the edge of the Forest,
She grew up and being grown-up,
she did not
run and jump and sparkle
along as it used to
but moved slowly.
but moved slowly.
For she knew now where she was going, and
she said and smiled,
she said and smiled,
"There is no hurry. We shall get there some day."

By Andrew Martin, Head of Outdoor Work
As the Block 5 students near the completion of their BAC projects I thought now would be a good time to share some of the fantastic, challenging work they've been up to.
This time last year students were busy discussing possible projects and forming groups based upon shared interests, rather than friendships. Encouraging students to work in such groups enables them to develop important life skills, such as teamwork, listening, tolerance and resilience. Students are judged on their journal, the outcome itself, and, most importantly, their approach and attitude towards their work. The common thread running through all the projects is that each must give something back to Outdoor Work or to the community and estate: a form of stewardship where they learn about the importance of looking after the land for the next generation.
For example, Olav, Carter and Oscar have created a meadow between the new Art & Design building and Outdoor Work (above). To do this the boys learned how to split and shape chestnut poles to make 'post and rail' fencing. The meadow will soon be home to our two South Down sheep, Sammy and Saoirse.
Other projects include the creation of another chicken pen (right) and the restoration of a polytunnel. This will allow us to cater for an additional 20 Sussex Rangers and 20 Amberlink chickens, in order to increase our free-range egg supply (we are constantly being asked for more eggs!). The shed previously known as the Pineapple House has been converted into a potting shed . To do this, Hannah, Annie and Hanna had to learn a range of skills, including brick-laying, blacksmithing, carpentry and leaded window making. Neri, Jo and Aria have been busy continuing the development of the Bakehouse; adding a considerable amount of storage as well as ensuring our new wood-fired bread-oven, built by Keir Rowe, is completely sealed and weather proof in the new Bakehouse extension.
Our pizza shack has been further developed with a new floor, rendered walls, and the addition of many fixtures and fittings. Flora, Max, Dylan and Cameron have managed all this whilst running it as a business every other week, making on average 45 pizzas each time. A number of chestnut and oak framed outbuildings have been built by Max, Archie, Gus and Finn, to store wood alongside all the reclaimed material that we pride ourselves on recycling. An exciting interactive map has been developed by Michael and Jamie, as well as a bespoke orienteering course around the estate. Thanks to Jamie, Olivia and Oscar there is a new terrace around the ODW office and lots more seating around the barns.
The continued development of the ODW Shop (below) by Helena and Keziah is particularly exciting. Not only does it look amazing, it also provides a permanent space for us to sell products from the farm and our kitchen. This is important for two reasons. Firstly, because every penny of profit goes back into the development of the farm. And secondly, it allows students to display the end product of all their work. This could be meat from our livestock, bread or baked goods from the Bakehouse, or craft products from the spinning room and forge.
We are having a mini launch/opening for the new shop during the last week of term, on 21, 22 and 23 of March. Please, please, do come and visit. Your support makes such a difference to the students, and really helps them feel that all their hard work has been worthwhile.
We look forward to seeing you then!

Dena Schwartz is a member or the International Council of Holistic Therapists and the International Society of Animal Aromatic Practitioners. She is a qualified Aromatherapist, Reflexologist, Reiki Healer, Animal Aromatics Professional and International Wellness Consultant.
Dena is a dedicated, integrated health care practitioner who believes in a truly holistic approach. Dena works closely alongside the medical and veterinary profession, ensuring her patients receive the best possible care to achieve total health and well-being.
With a passion for empowering the individual, Dena writes regularly for regional and national magazines. Dena also travels throughout the UK and Europe, giving lecture demos and teaching. She is a truly inspiring educator, her knowledge, understanding and genuine passion for natural health solutions has helped people and animals around the world enjoy improved quality of life.
I have been working with animals for OVER 20 years. During this time my obsession for a more natural approach to animal care has been paramount. I began by rescuing and rehabilitating horses and soon found myself with a reputation for recovering the sick and injured.
Wherever I worked animals of different shapes and sizes would appear, abandoned from all corners with physical and emotional pain. So I guess you could say my path has always been clearly mapped out for me.
It was the very sad loss of my horse that sealed my incredible journey into the power of holistic medicine. Tzar was a charismatic bright bay warmblood. I was privileged to enjoy him from birth to the age of 9. A strange twist of fate brought him every possible stroke of bad luck and after a string of serious illnesses and injuries, I sadly lost him to a brain tumour. He was the kindest, most generous character I've ever had the pleasure of spending time with.
After losing Tzar, I became determined to find another way. I gave up my yard and studied holistic medicine full time. I continued to teach equitation to fund my studies. I admire and thank my students and there horses for their determination in reaching a better level of understanding and belief in me as an instructor that they would reach that place. I wish you all continued success.
After qualifying as a holistic therapist and Reiki healer, I went on to specialise in the treatment of animals. I have been fortunate to study Animal Aromatics with Caroline Ingraham, the pioneer of this fascinating subject. She is an incredible lady with an enormous wealth of knowledge.
So here I am today helping people and animals throughout the UK and Europe to lead a more natural way of life, combining Eastern philosophy with western science to enable the body to function optimally, maintaining health, vitality and longevity.

Are You Brushing Your Best? Advice from a Fort Collins Dentist.
Heartburn is no fun, and if you have it regularly, then you may have acid reflux. Not only is this uncomfortable, but it can also take a toll on your teeth over time. As the excess acid rises up and causes you discomfort, it also wears out the enamel on your teeth and can even hurt your gums.
Protect yourself by talking to your doctor. You may need to change your diet to take out certain items like garlic, onions, caffeinated beverages, and other acidic foods. Each case is different, but your health is at stake. So take care of your acid reflux now, and don't forget to invest in quality dental care, Fort Collins, with a visit to Rocky Mountain Dental Care.

So only a few things for the blog tonight, we ended up busier than I anticipated this past week, and although we had some pretty tasty dinners, most of them were similar to something that has already been posted here. I do need to apologize, however, for not having gotten a meal plan up for the last two weeks! I feel like I've let you guys down, but I can tell you that after the first of the year, my posts will be much more consistent, or at least that is the plan! I'm sure I don't need to tell my readers how crazy busy this time of year is... pretty sure you can all relate!
Now this first meal is surely a love it or leave it type of meal. I'd say there isn't a lot of room for "in between" here. Many folks don't like the kick to banana peppers, but in this family, all three of my older kids eat them right out of the jar, it's one of their favorite snacks! So when I found this recipe, it was a no-brainer, I had to try it out. Now the recipe suggests eating this on buns, but I didn't have any, so I made white rice, and that worked just fine!
I do think the next time I will try it on Hawaiian sweet rolls and I will try a bit of blue cheese dressing on top, just to test out a new flavor combination. Blue cheese goes well with spicy in my opinion, and this dish is definitely on the spicy side!
Here is the recipe I used: Italian Crock Pot Chicken
These little oven treats were a hit with all four kidlets! Often called "Empty Tomb Rolls" around the Easter holiday, I just called them "Marshmallow Puffs". I, of course, love anything that involves brown sugar. Add in marshmallows and you've got a winner for sure!
Here is the recipe I used: Empty Tomb Rolls
This was one of our "new" meals this week, and we really liked it! I will be making it again, but I will make a couple small changes, deviating from the original recipe I used.
This Taco Bake says to bake the Doritos on top. Next time I will add the doritos after it has baked, or maybe add them with only 5 or 10 minutes to go. The Doritos ended up borderline burnt by the end of the bake time, and I didn't like the flavor of the Doritos that resulted. I also will increase the amount of sour cream the recipe calls for. I don't think I'll quite double it, but close, and I will add some salsa to the mix before baking. The kids were excited for this one, because it involved Doritos, and they all know I won't typically buy or keep potato chips in the house for snacking on. You should've seen their eyes light up when they saw the bag of Doritos! Ha ha!
And last, but not least... one of my oldest's favorite winter meals, potato soup!
I have used the same potato soup recipe for years, since I was 18 actually! I happened to have some ham left over from ham and egg cups made earlier in the week, and it needed used before it went bad. Potato soup was not on my menu plan for the week, but quickly found it's way there when I realized I had surplus potatoes and ham just waiting to be used!
This is a cheddar cheese and ham potato soup, and it typically uses chunked or cubed ham, but like I said, I was throwing this into the plan spontaneously to use up the shaved ham we had leftover.
Basically, boil your potatoes as you would, I usually boil mine longer than average, which will break some of the potatoes down and help to thicken the soup. When you drain the potatoes, reserve the liquid. You will use this with the milk to make the soup. You are going to want to melt some butter in a medium sized saucepan, and add flour to it, forming somewhat of a paste, and then add the milk in, whisking until smooth. You can gradually add flour and more milk as you go, though often times this will cause the flour to clump together in tiny chunks. If you are whisking well, it should help to avoid that problem. Now, let the "broth" simmer, but stir frequently, or it will begin to stick to the pan. While it's simmering, add some of the reserved liquid to your potatoes, depends on how many potatoes you have used, but I usually make my broth half liquid, half milk. Begin to slowly add the mixture in the saucepan to the potatoes and reserved liquid. Stir it all together, and sprinkle a cup or two (depends on preference) of cheddar cheese into the pot. Stir frequently, simmering soup on medium-low heat, until the cheese has melted. Season your soup with salt, pepper, and onion powder.
Depending on who is eating the soup that day, I will often times add chopped (and cooked) onions and sometimes carrots and celery.
That is all I've got for you right now, and definitely will not likely have a meal plan up until at least Thursday this week. Have had some crazy things going on, had to change some plans around, so grocery day will not be until Thursday of this week.
I hope all of my Great Lakes Region friends stay safe tonight!

8-3-10 12:19:42 What a great experience this cache was. After visiting St. Pauls Cathedral in Malta, I was curious to see what I would find. This was a delight for both my eyes and ears, as those who'll visit whispers gallery will recognize. What a great view from above!!! It was worth the climbing (and the fee). On one of the photos you can see Ajsa hapiness on "finding" this cache. Obrigado pela cache. Greetings from Portugal PS: if you are going to London by train, grab the brochures that say "2 for 1" at the train station and keep your train tickets, as you'll safe lots of money (we used it for this monument and for a Thames cruise - both half price!!). Bring a lot of brochures, as each one holds 3 vouchers (1 vouche r=2 persons)

text: [DE]Connor 2,456 Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Hail Tenno! I'm here to talk nitty-gritty on a large systemic change that was discussed on Devstream 101: our upcoming changes to physical damage types and status procs. Setting the Stage: Since Damage 2.0, physical damage has three types (Impact, Puncture and Slash, often referred to as IPS) brought to the forefront of Arsenals for modding and weapon diversity. There are also ten elemental damage types, consisting of four base elements (cold, electricity, heat and toxin) and the six combinations formed by modding two elements together. Each of these damage types is stronger or weaker against specific enemy types. However, each of these damage types also have "status effects" that can be applied based on a "procedural random chance" percentage, often known as procs. Impact procs cause enemies to stagger, Puncture procs reduce the enemy's damage output by a flat 30%, and Slash procs inflict "bleed" damage over time. Slash has long been considered the most powerful of these effects, primarily because Slash procs stack on top of one another and scale with weapon damage, while both Puncture and Impact procs could only have their flat effects refreshed. Leveling the Field: Those of you who watched our most recent Devstream will remember Khora, our next Warframe. Her powers allow players to switch between Impact, Puncture and Slash type modes, influencing the damage skew of her abilities. We saw this exciting new idea as an opportunity to revisit the various status proc types, and shake things up a bit! In an update coming soon, we will be making changes to IPS status effects and proc damage calculation. Our primary goal was improving Impact and Puncture; both of these procs will now scale in effectiveness, based on the damage dealt. An Impact proc with a small damage output (like a single Akstilletto bullet) will still only cause a short stagger, while an Impact proc with high damage output (like a Vulkar shot) can scale all the way up to a ragdoll, temporarily immobilizing them. In a similar manner, Puncture procs will now scale in effectiveness from 10% to 75% damage reduction, based on the damage dealt at the time of proc. Slash will continue working as it does now, stacking multiple status effects on top of one another. Covering our Bases: Here's where the math starts to get complicated - for all you stat-savvy Saryns and min-maxing Mesas out there, read on! Our more observant theorycrafters may see a flaw in the examples given above - these new damage-scaling procs would favour weapons that can output large damage amounts all at once, like snipers. In order to help rapid fire weapons compete in this regard, we are also making a systemic change to repeating procs: additional status effects will not "reproc", but will instead additively increase the effectiveness of the existing proc. The upgraded proc is calculated using the damage total from the original proc and the new proc added together. For Puncture, this also refreshes the duration of the proc. We are also making a change in how a proc's associated damage output is calculated - before, a Slash proc would scale based on the weapon's total base damage output. Now, all procs will be calculated using ONLY the damage type of the proc that is being inflicted. Players may feel encouraged to focus their weapon builds around certain damage types in order to consistently inflict powerful procs, or go for raw damage across several damage types to inflict multiple procs at once! To help visualize how these changes will look, let's deep dive into the physical damage types to see how they play out in-game:Impact now serves as a great means of crowd control. Got a Corpus Tech threatening your excavator? Immobilize priority targets by unloading your Akstillettos, giving you more time to address the threat. Overwhelmed by an army of MOAs? Level entire rooms with something like a Strun! Puncture can be used to minimize enemy lethality for frames with less survivability. Using high status puncture melees like Boltace or Endura, go blow-for-blow with Butchers and Powerfists without breaking a sweat. And if your Lex Prime can't oneshot the Heavy Gunner rumbling towards your defense point, the enemy's damage will be diminished long enough to safely deal the finishing blow. Slash works the same as it ever did, stacking bleed damage over time to make short work of enemies. Your 100% status Tigris Prime will still eviscerate single targets with multiple procs, while something like a Galatine will still inflict more serious singular procs in a wider area - 'tis but a scratch. Final Intentions: It's important that everyone understands our goals and what led us to the above changes. When designing Khora, an Impact/Puncture/Slash based frame, we knew it was time to bring up Impact and Puncture to Slash competitive levels of desirability thanks to long-term feedback. Having a frame specialize in the physical damage types is a pretty appropriate way to debut changes! Please approach all feedback with the understanding that from our end, our goal is a more interesting systemic change. Any edge case things that feel like massive nerfs should be civilly listed so we can address. ...And what about Elementals!? With little time remaining in the year to properly iterate, we decided to split this into two parts. Part 1 is Physical and it is coming soon on PC. Part 2 is Elemental and coming in 2018. We didn't want to release something wholesale over the Holidays that we wouldn't be around to properly monitor. You will be seeing a new Dev Workshop in 2018 on Part 2 - Happy Holidays!

Operation Round Up reaches milestones in 2017
Operation Round Up reaches milestones in 2017
There has been a lot to celebrate in 2017 as Operation Round Up achieved two milestones and continued to impact many worthy causes.
The Cuivre River Electric Community Trust topped $5 million in grants awarded to needy individuals, families and community organizations since the program was launched in 1997. Additionally, Operation Round Up surpassed the $1 million mark in the amount of college scholarships awarded to students furthering their education at a university or technical school.
Both achievements would not have been possible without the generosity of Cuivre River members who voluntarily "round up" their electric bill payments each month to the next highest dollar. Over 95 percent of the cooperative's members participate in Operation Round Up.
"The Operation Round Up story is one that shows the power of what people can do when they band together for a greater cause," Cuivre River Electric GM/CEO Doug Tracy said. "With just a few pennies per person on each bill, individuals and organizations in our community have been impacted with over $5 million going to assist those in need over the past 20 years. It's a testament to our membership and shows that caring and compassion is still alive and well."
Operation Round Up was created to address needs in the areas of health, education, home weatherization, youth, community and emergency services that cannot be met with other resources.
In 2017, 239 grants totaling $307,841.13 were given to individuals, families and community organizations in St. Charles, Lincoln, Warren and Pike counties. Of that amount, 95 grants equaling $117,710.58 were issued to individual and families, 74 grants for $137,630.55 were presented to organizations and 70 scholarships totaling $52,500 were awarded to students.
This was the second year in a row the contribution amount topped $300,000. Approximately $25,000 is awarded each month.
"I would like to thank the Cuivre River Electric Community Trust Board for their service and dedication to this wonderful cause and I look forward to seeing thegood that the next million dollars will accomplish," Tracy said.
The average yearly donation is just $6 per member. Members who wish to donate more each month may enroll in Operation Round Up Plus. This allows for an extra donation amount — such as $1, $5 or more — to be added to their monthly bill. Donations may also be made directly to the Trust or members can choose to donate their capital credit checks to the program.
All contributions are tax-deductible, and 100 percent of the funds allocated to Operation Round Up are used for grants. All program expenses are covered by the cooperative's general operating budget.
Operation Round Up funds are administered each month by the seven-member volunteer Cuivre River Electric Community Trust Board. Current trustees are Chairman Jim Mayes, Vice Chairman Melissa Hollander, Treasurer Frank Klaas, Secretary Doug Steinmeyer, Linda Whalen, Joyce Hollaway and John Deutch.
Applications are accepted monthly, with the deadline the final day of each month. The Trust Board reviews each application and meets on the second Thursday of the following month. Individual applicants may receive up to $2,500 per year, while families are eligible for up to $5,000. Organizations can seek $10,000 annually.
Scholarships are awarded annually each June. The next application deadline is May 1.
Applicants are not required to be Cuivre River members, but they must reside in the cooperative's service area. For more information, call 636-695-4837 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Applications are available at the Troy and Lake Saint Louis offices or can be downloaded at www.cuivre.com.

Life is a journey. We begin this journey the moment we are born.
We are not at liberty to choose our family neither can we decide the day and time of our birth. We do not get to pick what religion we want to be born into, neither can we choose the socio-economic class we prefer.
As babies, we rely solely on our parents / guardians to take care of us and attend to our needs. We can do nothing when it comes to fending for ourselves.
As we grow older, we begin to take on more responsibility for ourselves and those around us.
Sometimes we get to choose who and what require our time and energy. There are a few times when we aren't granted that luxury. There is a special group of people who fall into this category, we call them Mothers.
Growing up, my mom was who I looked up to for everything. I saw her as my shield, my provider; 'MOM' meant all I couldn't do for myself will be done by her. She probably had a choice whether or not to take care of me, she just did regardless.
I recall when I was in Uni, she would stop by and surprise me at school. Those moments were special. One incidence that proved how much of a mommy's girl I
was am, was the day I had to travel to Abia State, Nigeria for Orientation (NYSC). I practically cried, not being able to phantom I was going away possibly for one year in a foreign state (thank God I was redeployed!).
The months leading up to my wedding got me thinking hard.
How was I going to leave my mom? Who was going to take care of me and vice versa? Who was I going to gist with? How was I going to sleep without her by my side? (I did sleep on her bed till the night before my wedding BTW). Thankfully I had my baby nine months after, which meant she had to come live with us for a while! After all, her baby had just had a baby!
I recall how much she did for me during this period. Even though she couldn't stop me from falling into Post-Partum Psychosis, I cannot imagine how I would have coped without her. She assumed her role as a mother and grand-mother and did/ still does so to the best of her abilities.
This has made me realize that the work of a mom never ends (at least not until death).
A mom is a superhero – I know this because mine is. Just as we do not get to choose our families, mothers do not get to choose their children but they love in spite of and their love keeps us going.
This is dedicated to all Mothers and Mothers-to-be.
We appreciate and love you! You are so special, awarded with the hardest task of all – raising a generation.
Happy Mother's Day!!! May your days be filled with Joy, Love and Peace.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City FC celebrated their Big Apple opening in style at Yankee Stadium with captain David Villa scoring and taking an emotional curtain call in their Major League Soccer home debut on Sunday.
New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio presented a plaque proclaiming March 15th NYCFC Day and Villa proved it to the delight of 43,000 fans in the chill of the Bronx in a 2-0 victory over the New England Revolution.
Villa cut inside from the left touchline, played a quick one-two with Ned Grabavoy, burst into the penalty area and confidently slotted the ball past New England goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth to put NYCFC in the lead in the 19th minute.
The Spanish striker blew kisses to a roaring crowd wearing the sky blue club colors and was mobbed by his team mates after the first home goal by the new MLS team.
Villa helped ice the win with a cross to Patrick Mullins, who scored in the 84th minute.
A flurry of other chances failed in windy, chilly conditions in a 70-by-110 yard field squeezed into the confines of the baseball shrine.
New England's Kelyn Rowe missed three good chances in the first half, and Juan Agudelo's header from point blank range was stopped in the 42nd minute for the Revolution, last year's MLS title runners-up.
The pitch, which covered most of the diamond with newly laid sod, did not produce bad footing as feared after being uncovered following a frigid, snow-covered winter.
Damage to the permanent turf — a worry expressed by some Yankees from their balmy Florida spring training headquarters — did not appear to be warranted.
But that concern will be played out over 17 scheduled games for NYCFC, who will share the stadium for the next few seasons while planning their own facility.
The sharing of Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009 across the street from the original 'House that Ruth built', was arranged by NYCFC's parent club Manchester City of the English Premier League and the Yankees, who are minority partners in NYCFC.
The old Yankee Stadium had a long tradition of hosting soccer matches, bringing in some of the world's most famous teams. Soccer legend Pele called the stadium home with the NASL's New York Cosmos in 1976.
In Sunday's other game, late substitute Alan Gordon scored a goal in stoppage time to dash the hopes of the home fans at Providence Park in Portland and earn the defending champion LA Galaxy a 2-2 draw with the Timbers.
The Timbers appeared to have the game won after going 2-1 up when striker Fanendo Adi scored his second goal of the afternoon in the 90th minute, but Gordon spoiled their celebrations two minutes later with his equalizer off a corner kick.

Aloha one and all. My name is Pono. I am 6'5 and very overweight as you can see from the pictures. I am 35 years old and feel scared and the urgency to get into good physical health and stay there for the remainder of my life. My weight scares me daily, and sometimes at night I can't sleep because I feel my sleep apnea will cause me to have a heart attack or stop breathing and not wake up. My greatest fear is I will leave my children too young and will not see them grow up into amazing people who are kind and honest and hardworking. My health scares the living HELL out of me, but leaving my family because of my health scares me more. I was a picture of perfect health in my 20s. I began working out with weights when I was 22 and really grew to love it. I learned all the correct techniques of lifting from my neighbor who lived across the street from us. He incorporated bodybuilding and powerlifting and had been doing it for many years. I ran three to four miles daily and would either lift more or run more depending on what I felt like that particular day. I ended up joining 24 Fitness near my home and really took my conditioning and health to another level. I have not touched a weight in many years nor have I been diligent in playing any sports. I stopped doing all that and just focused on working and going to school and dealing with the stresses of life through the many delicacies of life. So now, I am beginning to understand meaningless eating and eating because of true hunger and not boredom or stress. I hope my blog will allow me to express my feelings as I never have been able to before and be a sort of self-talk therapy for myself. I want to share my daily thoughts with you and hope that something I may say, do, or snap a pic of may inspire you to do better on your weight loss goals. It is also my desire to give you current and factual information through links, pictures and however else I may educate you on subjects such as Asthma, Diabetes and food and workout tips. My name is Pono and I want to be a skinnyaire……….

Of course, I've always loved food.
Who doesn't?
But I have to say that it was not until I spent time in Italy that I really learned to love food.
To love simple, elegant, high-quality food.
And now when I go to Italy, I look for a food tour to learn more because it's a style of cooking that I can incorporate into my own meals at home.
In October I was in Rome and took a Trastevere food tour. Called Trastevere for Foodies, it's a walking tour offered by Eating Europe. I was traveling with Monograms and it was one of the activities I chose from their menu of options. To understand how Monograms works for travelers read Rome and Paris the Easy Way.
The tour started in the morning visiting a bakery, cheese shop, market, and gelateria. And then we were off to lunch at a trattoria followed by, if you can believe it, a visit to a cookie factory.
Yes, I was stuffed but oh so satisfied for each flavorful bite was delicious.
The Trastevere Food Tour in Photos
Located just across the Tiber river from most of the major sights in Rome is Trastevere. The people who live there consider themselves Trasteverini first and Roman second.
The neighborhood has one personality by day and another by night. During the day Trastevere is like a small village. The market opens with the rising of the sun. People share a morning cappuccino or an espresso at cafes and do their daily shopping in the local stores that line the cobblestone streets and have been in the same family for generations. In the evening the clubs and bars open. The piazzas come alive with street performers, poets, skateboarders, and partiers.
But our focus was the food. Here's Eating Europe's Trastevere for Foodies walking tour, stop by stop, in photos.
12 Things I Learned on this Italian Food Tour
The tour was not only delicious, it was also entertaining and educational. Here are a few of the things that I learned along the way.
- If you share a meal you are a family. At the end of the tour, Luca declared that we were definitely all family now.
- There is no Italian cuisine. All Italian cooking is location specific.
- Pecorino Romano is the cheese used in most Roman recipes. It's made from sheep's milk.
- Roman bacon is different. It's made with the cheek not the belly of the pig.
- There are 138 shapes of pasta. Italians take the variety very seriously.
- There is gelato and then there is gelato. Good gelato is made from scratch. Bad gelato is made from an industrial mix. To tell the difference look at the color. It should resemble the base ingredients. Pistachio gelato should be pale, not be bright green. Banana should be more white than yellow. If there is one fake color in the gelateria you can assume that they are all fake. You can also check how they are displayed. Good gelato should be in containers as they don't naturally stay in mounds. Mounds of gelato are fake.
- All cookies are biscotti. What we call biscotti is simply one kind of cookie. The word biscotti means cookie.
- Cappuccino is only for breakfast. You may have it in the afternoon but absolutely never after dinner!
- Most shops are closed on Sundays. The exception is pastry shops.
- The water in Rome is rated the best in Europe. There are 2,500 spring-fed fountains in Rome. They are called nasoni. There's even an app to find the nasoni of Rome.
- There are different kinds of restaurants. A trattoria is a family run restaurant and rustic. A place that calls itself a restaurant offers fancier food. Here's a guide to the types of food establishments in Italy.
- How to cross the street. Go to a crosswalk but no one will stop until you step onto the street. Step out and look the driver in the eye. They will stop. Cross.
I highly recommend this tour. Good fun. Really interesting. Delicious!

Oprah released a few articles on the homes of famous women, and I have to say I was a little disappointed! With the likes of Laura Bush, Marg Helgenberger and Kate Spade, I envisioned elegance, sophistication and colour. Not quite...let's just say it was a more simplistic approach.
On the other hand, clothing designer Eileen Fisher had an equally simple home, but it evokes such a beautiful, serene feeling. In fact, it reminds me a bit of the house I posted a few months back by Barbara Barry. This look feels so achievable - light, creamy walls and rich flooring. Symmetry, fine mill work and a touch of greenery all come to mind. It's a beauty.
On the other hand, this one didn't slip away. Oprah also showcased a very daring home, and appropriately titled it "Where the Wild Things Are". I'm sensing Cole & Son Woods wallpaper overkill, and something tells me this isn't the finest application. That's going to be one greasy forest after a Sunday morning of bacon and eggs.
Oh, Oprah

PGA Tour players try at all costs to avoid 3 putts.
But boy oh boy, would Rory McIlroy gladly have taken a three-jack on the par-4 fifth hole (his 14th of the day) at Monterey Peninsula Country Club on Friday in the second round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Instead, the former world No. 1 and four-time major champion 5-putted -- after driving the green -- for a double-bogey 6.
Check it out here:
Just like that, McIlroy went from 1 under to 1 over.

Cat Power at Burton Chace Park in Marina Del Rey, Saturday August 4th 2018
There is always a certain degree of apprehension when you go see Cat Power, the singer songwriter has become famous for her stage meltdowns and sometimes an unpredictable behavior, but this is definitively the past. Chan Marshall gave a rather intimate concert inside Burton Chace Park in Marina Del Rey on Saturday night, and just like that, she previewed two new songs of her upcoming album, and did many more or less unexpected covers … Don't expect Chan Marshall to play by the rules, she will release 'Wanderer' early October and wouldn't be logical for her to sing her new songs mixed with old ones? Instead, she is going to look for these obscure songs that only a few will identify the correct way
And if you want the unexpected, ask Chan, who did a song by the Boys Next Door, written by guitarist Rowland S Howard and recorded by Nick Cave's early band, later called The Birthday Party… although I am not sure she kept the same lyrics? And to pursue with the same common obsession, she also did 'Great Waves', a collaboration with Dirty Three, the instrumental band of Bad Seeds' Warren Ellis…. But who covers Dead Man's Bones? Ryan Gosling's band and album recorded with the Silverlake conservatory children choir? There was also a cover of Mississippi blues songwriter and guitarist Jessie Mae Hemphill, her well-known version of Phil Phillips' 'Sea of Love', and an unexpected Lana Del Rey tune, 'White Mustang'…. It may have been the first time she was covering the song, but since Del Rey is featured on Cat Power's upcoming album, it all made sense. However, I didn't recognize the song at the time, as Chan habited it in a very different way, without Lana's vaporous glamor. At the risk to upset all the Del Rey's fans out there, there is no doubt in my mind that Chan is the real sadcore queen, as there is nothing like her deep howl when she seems to descend to the most profound places of her throat and mind.
There were old and new songs, but finally far less new songs than I had thought in the first place, this is always what get with Chan, the rare and unexpected covers, and finally not very much was revealed about 'Wanderer', beside the title song, and another very powerful and poignant one, 'Me Voy'.
But it all started with, yes, another cover, 'These Days' that she sang with a very quiet guitar, blending effortlessly to her own 'Song to Bobby'. Of course there is her voice, dark, smoky, fragile and triumphant at the same time, a show-stopper that would easily make you jump at the end of the world with your unrequited love, as a connection with a Cat Power's song is always deeply personal, painful and soothing at the same time.
The Moon Pix songs were sad and slow as they always are, or habited by a deeply anxious bass (Cross Bones Style'), fading away like the sun at this time of the day but Chan was all smile during the entire set, occasionally burning matches. It was a bit strange but this is gonna be the only pyrotechnic effect that you are gonna get at a Cat Power concert.
The title song of her new album, 'Wanderer' was stripped down to the essential as all the other songs she did, only surrounded by three musicians playing quietly behind her haunting croon. She did very few of 'Sun', her previous album, and 'Manhattan' was a one of the highlights of the show, sung with the warmest depths of her voice, as she was freely letting her vocals follow the stamping krautrock-y tempo of the song, as precise as the heart rhythm, as says the song says : 'See your heart has a rhythm/You got your secret on/And you say you got nothing to hide/You, you, you and your secret life'
If each of her stage moves and arm gestures, which can be deliciously strange and awkward at times, demonstrated she was in a very positive place, the mood of the show was very melancholic, and she picked the saddest song ('The Moon') of her most upbeat album 'The Greatest'… after asking people to readjust the lighting several times – she didn't want pink or yellow lights – she left us with broken relationships and the bitter to angry heartbreaks of 'Good Woman' and 'Bully', and she transformed 'Sea of Love' into a serenade about happiness and true love. May be Chan is happy after all.

As you can see, the original yard was sorely lacking in design...
Our biggest challenge was the narrowness of the space -- without any separation it seemed much smaller than it actually was. Fortunately the plot was quite long and already had a great selection of perennials and other design materials, such as common brick and Chicago street pavers. Our main goal of this backyard makeover was to use as much existing material as possible to create separate areas for the client to lounge, dine, and garden.
We began by visually separating the space into four sections. The first section was delineated by a 6' x 8' gabion wall we installed. The original concrete wall blocks were placed in the center and surrounded with existing natural brick. Next, a cedar timber was installed into the wall to use as an attachment point for a shade sail for the main patio.
Before completing the gabion, we added plumbing to create a unique steel water feature.
The downspout drained into a weathered and worn rectangle tub, adding another layer of character to the yard.
A patio area was installed off the back of the house using existing Chicago pavers. We left space all around the patio for plantings. A small hardwood deck was installed in front of the sliding back door as a transition into the new patio area. Prairie grasses were added between the main patio and the house to bring a sense of meadow to the otherwise grassless space.
In the next area, we installed tall cedar posts. The durable wooden structures blend naturally into the garden and create the illusion that there are many more sections to discover. Additionally, instead of laying the walkway bricks in a straight line, we installed two cedar-post half walls to add another visual break.
In the last section (the urban farming section), we defined the space visually by using pea gravel and three custom-built Corten steel circular vegetable beds. To increase food production in the small space, we planted two sprawling espalier apple trees along the fence.
As far as the rest of the plant material goes, we mostly used the saved perennials from the original garden. In addition to those vines -- to keep the entire space blooming green -- we planted climbing plants and ground cover on both the cedar half walls and the gabion.
The finished project resulted in a truly multifunctional space. While maintaining its raw and natural charm, we created a stunning rustic retreat. This Bucktown backyard is a shining example of what a little design can do for a narrow space.

I am 2 months into early recovery.
[As of March 19—Chris]
I was a late starter. I tried coke when I was 23 and it was off to the races! It was love at sight. My low self-esteem and social anxiety just disappeared. I was confident, I felt I had things to say, people to see and I felt desirable. What a combo! I was also living in South Beach, hanging with all the cool kids. I was COOL.
Fast forward 6 yrs…Me, alone snorting coke, nose running, miserable. It turned on me. As all drugs do eventually…So I replaced it with other drugs, even started selling them. Boy, I sure had a lot of friends during that period. LOL. And I hated everyone of them. But I felt powerful. That didn't last long either.
After 7-8 years of this I left the Beach and went to live with my stepfather in Austin. 3 months later I met my normie spouse. The addiction was dormant for awhile…
In 2011, it resurfaced after I got laid off from my job of 11 years. Introducing the opiate family.
At this time I had a 3 year old boy. I worked around it and carried on until I was busted by my husbands family 2 years later. My son was about to turn 5. What a humbling experience that was. They didn't understand addiction, I felt judged and ashamed.
We told my son I was going to"camp' for a month and I went to inpatient rehab.
Now, after a relapse and fresh out of out-patient, this time feels different. I feel this a major game-changer for me. I feel like it's re-birth of sorts. I feel PRESENT and enthusiastic about this new me. I like the person I am becoming and am hopeful for what ever the future brings. I was ambivalent about the 12 Steps and AA in general but I joined a women's group and I have something to share at every meeting. I am going to work the Steps and just take one day at a time. I am hopeful.

It's been a while since we've posted, and I wanted to give everybody a quick update. A couple of days ago, it SNOWED – a real snowstorm that lasted an entire day and actually left some snow on the ground! It doesn't always snow every winter in Nanjing, so it is a real happening here. It also rarely snows this early in the season, so everyone is wondering what this winter holds in terms of weather.
Since we live south of the Yangtze River, our city does not have central heating in any buildings. We rely on space heaters and lots of clothing and hot drinks to make it through the colder months. We arrived in Nanjing in February '08, and narrowly missed the last snowstorm in Nanjing. We lived through the last bit of '08's winter, and then last year really experienced winter in Nanjing for the first time – on the 7th floor of an uninsulated North-facing apartment building. It was cold. We moved. End of story.
This year, we are happily situated on the 3rd floor of a building that has other buildings around it, and so far so good. We are now pros at switching our various space heaters around the house to maximize the heat with the least amount of electricity usage. I'm really into space heaters, and if you ever want to know the various pros and cons of differing types of space heaters, you just let me know – I'm our household expert.
Leo was less than impressed by the snow; he was outside for 10 minutes and decided it was way too cold and wet for his liking. The next day he outright refused to go outside all day. Today, he's much more content now that the sun is shining, and I also think his day indoors was just boring enough to convince him the cold isn't that bad after all. If he would agree to wear his mittens, he might like the snow a lot more.
As for me, I am now wearing my huge black maternity-ish winter jacket, which somewhat hides the fact that I am 8 months pregnant. I look like I might be pregnant, or I might have a huge beer belly. This is causing some problems, because getting on the bus is becoming next to impossible (when I am lugging Leo, the backpack, and the stroller, I can barely make it up the bus stairs now). So I have to immediately open the coat when I get on the bus to get a seat and I really feel like I ought to get 2 seats these days. My days of riding the bus solo with Leo are very numbered. I think taxi rides may be in my future for the remainder of this pregnancy. It literally takes me 5 minutes to recover my breath after I sit down, and if the bus is crowded and thus hot – then I also feel like throwing up about 10 minutes into the ride. 🙂 Ah, pregnancy!
But winter is here to stay, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. We are excited to begin celebrating the holidays, and I am counting down the days until Thanksgiving so that I can put up our Christmas tree. In the US, we had a strict no Christmas decorating rule until just before Christmas Eve. But that was in a country where you couldn't walk two steps after Halloween without being confronted with Christmas. But here there is none of that, and we make our Christmas for ourselves. So we will decorate early and try to squeeze every Christmas-sy little tradition into the next month or so. Not to mention, I could very likely have this baby before Christmas. I will confess I have already been singing Christmas carols to Leo, and have moved our decorations to the front of the closet, but so far I am exerting my self-control fairly well.

We have been trying to come up with a name for our farm ever since we started, and nothing ever seemed quite right.
I set up this website and our Facebook page using Las Tunas Farm, because we are in the neighborhood of Las Tunas, and we are a farm. I love the simplicity of it.
However we have beautiful fabulous dreams of moving out of this little farm to a ranch sometime in the near future. As soon as we sell our house (anybody want to buy a lovely two story in Las Tunas?), we will be able to farm on our own land, instead of borrowed/rented land. Sigh… 🙂
So, we need a brand name that can move with us. After some brainstorming, we came up with Rancho Amanecer, which means Sunrise Ranch. Can you just hear the birds chirping, and smell the dew on the plants, and that fresh dawn air? See the sweet, gentle sunlight beginning to lighten the sky?
I love the way the name rolls off the tongue in Spanish, too. If you need some help, it sounds like Ah-mah-neigh-sair.
This name also lends itself well to a logo. I have been trying to come up with a logo from day one, to no avail, but I think this one is obvious, a sun rising over some mountains.
I mean, something like that.
Which means I now have to somehow change the name on this blog and my Facebook page, and get all my followers to follow the new one. So, stay tuned for those changes coming up.
Oh, and in Farm News, we have fresh salad! Yay. We have baby things in the greenhouse, which will be ready come November, and the tractor is coming today to plough the field! Very exciting. I'll get a picture up of our blank canvas later.
