Each member of your school will receive a personalized login to our portal, catering to the needs of specific individuals. Through use of this portal, our IT team is able to help your staff stay organized in the world of technology, which increases workflow and creates more educated users. Centralizing all technology information to one resource page allows staff to know exactly where to go for technology help. Teachers and staff will be connecting with our IT team, researching solutions, requesting assistance, all in one package with no room for confusion. Our portal encourages training, and a higher level of understanding of technology. With cooperation from your school, it can be used as a platform to educate and reward your staff based off of their dedication to technology in the school.
Personalized Support
Customized support specifically tailored for the needs of your school. From technology resource links and documents to trouble ticket submissions, each user will find multi-tier levels of support needed to solve their technology problems. Our IT team connects with each user of your organization, creating a personalized support experience. This system takes the struggles of typical IT, and replaces them with structure and timeline. Users will see: – Active and completed support tickets – IT resources pertaining to SFT and your own organization – Network Information – IT News/Updates
Incentivized Training
Each portal is equipped to support a hub of online training content for your organization. The hub can be used as a location to share videos and resources with your staff in a place everyone knows how to access. Our IT team aims to improve the workflow of each user, commonly by creating video tutorial content specific to your organization, and creating a database of common problems/how-to's/ect. It is our mindset to include as many resources as possible to our customers, creating smarter and more confident users. As we seek to provide an environment that encourages bettering ourselves and creating a team of confident users, we create incentivized training systems for our customers. Our IT team is able to monitor the training progress of staff members, and see how much training each individual has completed. We refer to the system as "Incentivized", as we typically associate the trainings completed with rewards.I.E. Mrs. Peterson at Greene Middle School has requested 2 brand new desktops for her classroom. Administration approves Mrs. Peterson's request, but only if she completes 5 trainings on basic desktop management ect… Mrs. Peterson completes the trainings which is confirmed by the IT Team, and the school orders the brand new computers. This holds both sides accountable that all purchased tech gets used to its full potential in the classroom.

An Untimely Death in the Midst of Catastrophe
I came across the work of Piroska Reichardt almost by happenstance, as one day, in Room No. 2 at the Balatonfüred Translators' House, I was browsing through a volume entitled Magyar költőnők antológiája (The Anthology of Hungarian Women Poets). There was—surprisingly, for a culture that guards the memories and mementos of its greatest poets so assiduously—very little information about her to be found, beyond what was printed in the brief biography in the volume itself. She was born in Beregszász in 1884, attended middle school in Miskolc, and then graduated from university in Budapest, after which she taught in a girls' gynmasium. A search in the catalogue of the Országos Széchényi Könyvtár reveals that she translated as well from English. At least eighty of her poems, translations, studies and critiques appeared in the seminal journal Nyugat (West, 1908-1941). After appearing in the anthology Heten vagyunk (Seven of Us, 1909) with Margit Kaffka she published three more volumes of poetry: Az életen kívül (Beyond Life, 1911); Őszi üdvözlet (Autumn Greeting, 1922); and finally, A változó napokkal (With The Changing Days, 1936)
In 1943, as her biography states in the Anthology of Hungarian Women Poets, "she escaped from Fascist persecution into suicide." I am intrigued by the idea of her escaping into suicide, and can hardly judge what action I might undertake, given similar circumstances. I search the Web, and am unable to find a picture of her anywhere. Nothing. But her poems, it seems are almost everywhere: I find them posted on blog after blog, in fancy, flowing typefaces, with elaborate illustrations, almost as if they were being passed from hand to hand as a kind of solace for our days.
Before Sleep
The sound of cars, bells ring in the distance
in my room hushed to silence is a lullabye.
The row of streetlights keep vigil
drawing shadows in the shade upon my wall.
Tomorrow's distant pale light gleams
into the sad multitude of memories and sorrows.
And from space, from the silence, from worry and today
Into lifeless being I faintly dissolve.

Passage: https://www.biblegatesway.com/search?%s=Isaiah+58.1-12
"Is this not the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chain of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke
to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?"
The Lord calls for a proclamation against His people for their rebellion and sins. They seek the Lord for answers and seem eager for God to come near. They fast and humble themselves but the Lord seems to not notice.
The Lord tells them that even on their fast days, they exploit their workers. Their fasts end in quarrels and fights. The Lord says they can't expect their prayers to be heard when they fast like that. He isn't interested in that kind of fast. The fast he honours is the one that results in oppression being lifted and yokes of bondage being removed.
God is opposed to religion. He hates practices which we use in order to avoid Him getting under our skin and changing our hearts. Religion seeks to change God's mind; true faith is when God changes our heart.
In the passage, the Lord through Isaiah is taking Israel to task for going through religious fasting but still exploiting others and engaging in quarrels. They were claiming to love God, but failed to love their neighbour who is made in the image of God.
We can think that this is a matter for Government. If we vote for the right party , then the right regulations get passed and social justice will reign. This isn't true of course- daily we hear of employers who rip off their workers even though they know what the mandated pay rates and superannuation requirements are.
The Lord does not want us to contract our consciences out to the political leaders. We are required to love our neighbour where we are. This passage is about my attitude to my neighbour, to the oppressed people in my town.
When I fast, when I pray, when I worship, it is not just me and Jesus. It is allowing the grace of God to fill me, set me free and empower me to pass on that same grace to others.
Lord I confess that I am often unaware of the problems and sufferings of the people around me. I too easily accept the way things are as being the natural order. Help me to see my neighbour as you see them and to let your love flow through me to them. Amen.

Survey: Sleeping together before a first date is a-OK, but cracked phones are a put off
In a world without God, men prey upon one another like monsters of the deep. No restraint, no mercy; blood for drink, or fuel; skulls smashed like eggshells for frying secular omelets. The 20th century stands as evidence. – Anthony Esolen
It's no wonder….No, not really.
It's exactly what we teach.
We're just Carnal Instincts walking
Since we climbed onto that beach.
Who can blame us?…Let's get real here!
After all,…there is no "Law"!
We're Disciples now of Darwin,
And we dance Red Tooth 'n' Claw.
We're The Fittest just survivin',
Friend, it's simply "Nature's Way"!
It's 'The Lesson' we adhere to.
It's imprinted DNA.
We all learn 'The Lesson' early…
(Some as early as the womb!)
Close your eyes if it offends you…
Give yourself some wiggle room!
Just, relax, enjoy the bloodlust.
Come on, man, "Go with the flow!"
It's our Common Core….Don't fight it!
Progress!…To new lows we go!

There are millions of people who are smoking all over the world and for every hour, there are a lot of them who die because of this. I don't get why tons of people are fond of this habit when in fact they can't get even a single benefit in here.
The only thing it does is to damage your health. These people are spending lots of their money in buying cigarettes just to ruin their health.
Well, it is truly hard to remove old habits. For those who are already smoking for so many years, it is really hard for them to just remove it immediately no matter how hard they try to. Old habit don't die that fast as they say.
But then, for those who are really determined to remove this bad habit, don't worry a lot because there are a lot of ways. It is never too late and always remembers that there is always hope.
Aside from really disciplining yourself, one of the most effective ways to remove the habit of smoking is called smoking cessation hypnosis or simply hypnotherapy. Many are not aware of this thing that is why it is often disregarded.
Smoking cessation hypnosis is simply moving the conscious mind to the subconscious to make some necessary changes or convince to make some actions that can help in improving ones health.
The person is being hypnotized and being convinced to change his bad habits. You can have a series of sessions here for you to make sure that you will really be over with your smoking habit.
Smoking cessation hypnosis is said to be more effective than others therapies especially when combined with other cessation tips.
The great thing about this is that there will be no need for you to use some drugs or some over the counter medicines that are known to have side effects just to get over with your smoking habits.
This kind of therapy is not pharmaceutical based. It is not like the common methods that are used for a person to quit smoking.
If you have this severe habit of smoking, it must be treated right away or else you will have lots of regrets in the end.
Try smoking cessation hypnosis and I am sure that after the series of therapies you will have a new life and you will be away from your old habits.

This is my first training review on the blog. For the last few years I have been reviewing training nationwide for Harris Publications. Like all things in the magazine world, interest ebbs and flows. The last year there has been a noticeable lull in interest in straight up training reviews. When a weapon of interest can be used I am able to provide moderate coverage in the gun review, but it is minimal. It is one of the reasons this blog was started, to provide a more detailed review a reader can access before deciding to attend training.
It has always been my practice to interject as little of my "opinion" as possible in training reviews. There are plenty of "personalities" out there, it is not my intention to add myself to that list. I am not selling anyone's training. The idea is to tell you what occurs, what methodology is used, and describe the overall training philosophy. I will try and bring the training to you providing the information needed to determine your willingness to attend that school. Having been involved in firearms training for a couple decades now not everything is for everyone, and just because it is old, new, different, or the same makes it neither useful, or useless. So, read on, and follow the link at the bottom to a video I put together, as well as some more photographs on my Facebook page.
It was close to 15 years ago I had the privilege of spending considerable quality time with Clint Smith at Thunder Ranch Texas. A local arrangement with a TR staff member (at the time) allowed me to attend frequently. Working at the time as a SWAT and Patrol sergeant, and in charge of department firearms training it was invaluable. It shaped what became our department training until my retirement. A former Marine, Clint keeps thing simple, straightforward, and practical. At the heart of his philosophy was the need to Shoot, Move, and Communicate. Hearing Buck Doyle from Follow Through Consulting express the same philosophy brought a smile to my face almost immediately. This was going to be fun!
Follow Through Consulting / Buck Doyle
Buck Doyle is a retired Force Recon Marine with over 20 years of experience. Retiring as a Master Sergeant with 17 years as a Force Recon Marine he has pretty much done it all when it comes to combat as a Marine. He has several combat tours under his belt, along with decades of time training Marines. He is a contractor working high risk environments, and has trained officers, contractors, foreign troops, and just about anyone that carries a weapon. Buck is a decorated Marine, no made up credentials here, he has all the "been there done that" you can get and remain alive. Looking at credibility, it just does not get any better.
Buck's training philosophy was perfectly aligned with the Clint Smith of my day, and my career as an instructor. He is all about mastering the fundamentals, developing the appropriate mindset, and above all practical application. While he certainly may do well in a competitive environment, he is a warrior, and his philosophy revolves around the application of the fundamentals in the real world. He clearly recognizes the value of competition and competitive shooters, especially as it pertains to the 3-gun world, but his focus remains application in the environment you operate in. Its all about taking the best of whats out there and applying it where you live. For officers that is the streets, especially with a rifle, for non-sworn it is your home, property, or work environment. I would boil his basic philosophy down to learning how to master your weapon system, then spending your time applying it in practice.
The primary focus of training in his training is to Shoot, Move, and Communicate. Shooting was all about mastering the fundamentals. Learn how to run the gun on the square range, then start moving. This methodology emphasizes that static targets are easy to hit, so don't stand there and shoot. You need to move, and recognize that your opponent will also. Once you can adequately operate your weapon system, start moving. Communication to Buck is not about screaming on the range. It is about knowing where you are and communicating (verbally or non-verbally) to those around you. There was lots of emphasis on situational awareness and communicating with your partners, team mates, or even those amidst the fight. Another strong focus of Bucks training is the lack of a "conventional" position in a gunfight. His entire course of fire involved shooting in, around, over, and through barricades. This requires shooting from altered positions on your knees, side, back, and squatting where you can. The idea is to deal with what you have the best you can while getting hits on target. Lastly, Buck uses movement to various positions to increase heart rate. There was very little standing in place to shoot. Once the basics were established you ran(or jogged in my case) between positions to increase your heart rate. Buck allowed you to move at your now pace, just so long as you were moving and getting your heart rate up. He also recognized that each of us carry our own baggage (excess weight, injuries, or limitations). That's life, so work around them, and he helped you get into what ever position you could given those limitations.
Carbine I Practical Application
Facility: This was a two day class taught in the mountain / university town of Logan Utah. Although a public facility, the range we used was exclusive to us, with no benches in the way, or obstructions out to 100 yards. Buck keeps his classes limited to 15 shooters, and there was plenty of room. A large garage doubled as a classroom and place to get out of the sun and relax a bit. The facilities were excellent, clean, well kept, and conducive to an enjoyable training experience. Parking was available right next to the range. Logan is a good sized town with tons of food, lodging and entertainment. Unless you are there during a festival lodging should be plentiful and reasonable. It is a common place for people in the valley to go and escape the heat. There is tons of mountain biking, hiking, and sight seeing in the area, along with plenty of shopping if you are traveling in. All the sights of Salt Lake City are within an hour and a half drive.
If you are looking for a school that spends as much time talking as shooting, this is NOT it. Buck spent about an hour in the classroom covering basics and philosophy. After a short break for water we were off to the range. Buck prefers to do his teaching on the range where possible. Range time started with simple operation skills followed by checking rifles for zero. Different zeroing ranges were covered, and you picked the one you preferred, or in the case of most of us confirmed the one you had. This is not a precision class, the idea was to make certain you could get consistent hits out to 100 yards, both on the move and under stress.
Once the zero was established we did a bit of square range covering stance, how you hold the weapon, and basic skill sets required to get hits. When it comes to holds, Buck is an advocate of the now common off hand grip extending to the limits of the rail. Common in the 3 gun world it emphasizes "driving" the rifle between multiple targets. This hold provides a very solid grasp of the rifle, controls muzzle rise, and recoil control considerably. While he prefers rolling over the top of the forend, he also uses a more thumbs forward position – but the emphasis on extension of the off hand remains. My position lies somewhere in the middle. Using my Red Creek Tactical Apache LT (Light Tactical) my arm extends as far as comfortable allowing for a bend in the elbow and an unobscured view from that side. Given most of the class were officers, most on tactical teams with short rifles their holds were similar. Most of my time is spent on a Tavor making the extended position impossible so it remains thumbs forward, just a bit shorter. It is important to be clear, Buck is not dogmatic about this, he just prefers it and explains why. You are free to use whatever position you prefer, he will just make you better at using it.
The second half of the day began with some reload training. Buck did not beat this to death like many schools. He covered reloads with the rifle "in your workspace", and in the pocket. Little time was spent on tactical loads beyond the basic concept and how to accomplish the task. Like many, he believes this is a skill best mastered during dry fire. There was no expectation you complete a tac-load other than when you wanted to, not at every break in the drill. Type one malfunctions (Tap, Rack, Assess) were covered, essentially all you you need to keep your gun running. From this point forward most shooting was done either on the move, or having moved from one barricade to the other. We started working from the top of the barricades, then the sides, and finally through the "port holes" in the center. Targets at this point were primarily steel, with ranges from 50 to 100 yards. Larue knockdowns were used, as well as some lollipops and IPSC silhouette steel. It prepped us for shooting with an elevated heart rate, and for day two.
Day Two:
We started with a confirmation of zero, and a few minutes trying to shoot some groups. Mostly to insure zeroes had not shifted, or equipment come loose. But we also confirmed bullet impact when lying in the roll over prone position. Doing so places the rifle sideways, changing where you need to hold to get hits. Depending on your zero, optic, or red dot, and how you hold the rifle it will change. Shooting at 25, 50, and 100 yards you were able to pretty well know where to hold when on your side making sure you can get hits no matter where you ended up during the remaining drills.
Then it was time to start moving. In the real world you need to get to your firing position, or get to cover, or both. That is not always in front of you. You need to identify where to go, figure out how to get there, then move quickly. It is best known to me as situational awareness. Its too easy to get "sucked into the gun" and focus just on the rifle. You need to focus on your surroundings. We started by simply running from one position to the other, slowing to a stop, then engaging the targets. Moving from 100 yards in we stopped at positions along the way engaging either the center of the target, or the head based on Bucks command. Its a great drill for you to see how difficult it is to get hits on small targets after running, even at 50 yards. You also have to be aware, and thinking all the time. You are slowing, then stopping, at the same time bringing the rifle into position, identifying possible targets, then hitting where you need, checking where you are, and moving again – it makes you stay plugged in.
Next we started shooting on the move. It is something many never get a chance to do with a rifle, even in police departments. These drills began walking in from the 25 yard line and engaging targets as directed. It really shows how hard it can be to get hits on small targets while moving. Once that was down, we ran into the position, then moved and engaged targets. Buck intermixed running into a position, slowing, then stopping, followed by shooting on the move. He also had us sprint into a position, slow, then shoot on the move. Ending the morning session we added turning from various positions to engage the targets, an briefly covered double feeds and more serious malfunctions. By the end of the morning everyone was moving pretty well, and prepped for the afternoon.
The afternoon put all this together. Starting from barricades we moved to cones placed at various areas on the range. Initially you engaged steel at 50 yards, identified your next position (a cone at ten yards) ran there and engaged the paper targets. Once everyone was moving well you began moving in just about every direction. You may move sideways to a cone, turn and engage, then either forward or rearward to another cone, turn and engage. It was all about thinking about where you are, where you need to go, finding the best position, finding the threat, getting in position, taking the shots, then moving to the next spot. The last drill of the day involved doing this starting from 100 yards and moving to various positions engaging both the steel and paper targets. Class ended with a confirmation of zero. It allowed you to leave the range confident of exactly where your rifle shoots.
Overall Impressions:
This was an excellent class, different than most. Much of the training these days is more about the instructor than the student with more dogma than training. You either drill ad-nasuam, or are bored to death with war stories. Movement seldom occurs beyond walking to the next range line. If it does, it is completely focussed on competing with all the emphasis on things that win matches, not gunfights. Focus is often on the doctrine, not the application. Far too often you are learning what the instructor thinks, with application all but absent.
Buck Doyle is exactly the opposite. For a man that could spend days telling real war stories they are few and always relevant. Incessant drilling is replaced with just enough practice to perform the skill, then you move on to applying that skill. Dogma is all but non-existent, as is time wasted bad mouthing other training. As soon as you are able to apply the rifle, you are, from that point forward you are training in application under more real conditions. Movement is 360 degrees, done safely, and accommodates just about any shooter. Class size is purposely kept small so downtime is minimized and personal time enhanced. It moves at a steady but not too brisk pace allowing you to learn at your level. Buck is very professional, and the class was run in a professional and organized manner.
So Who should go?:
There is no prerequisite required, one of the shooters had only used an AR a few times and he did just great. By the end of the class he was holding his own with the rest of the group. Remaining students ranged from officers with little training beyond qualification, to highly experienced trainers and tactical officers. All learned a great deal, all were better at the end of the class, and many had never performed drills like that in their carriers. So, it really works well for just about anyone without regard to experience. For me, it was an enjoyable return to what I taught my officers for a decade.
That being said, you will get more if you already know the basics. Trainers can only move at the speed of the slowest student. If you have yet to pick up an AR I would suggest attending his one day class, or another class that gets you the basic operational skills. Starting from there you will move quickly into movement and drills that many outside the police world will seldom see. The more you put into that aspect of the training the better you will be at the end.
Final Thoughts:
The venue is safe, clean, well kept, with ample parking for the class size. There is shade in the classroom and a place to safely store your gear. Logan has plenty of lodging, restaurants, and shops putting you 5-10 minutes from the range making it convenient. Lodging is reasonable, plentiful (as a rule) and ranges from comfortable to palatial, with plenty to do if you turn it into a bit of a vacation.
Buck is an excellent instructor, calm, controlled, passionate about what he believes and does. His techniques are proven, sound, and solid. While there is lots of movement, you do not need to be some fitness nut. You move at your own pace and Buck is very good at pushing you just enough to make sure you learn. The class is well paced, lots to learn, and lots of trigger time. Round count was 600 for two days, but you can extend that if you like, most were closer to the 700-750 mark.
I would not hesitate a second to return, in fact I likely will. More importantly I will probably have my wife train with him, and that says a ton.

How to Adjust Skid Shoes on a Snow Blower
Skid shoes, also called skid plates, are the adjustable metal or polymer pieces that are attached to each side of the auger housing.
Skid shoes keep the auger from impacting the surface as you're clearing. If a skid shoe becomes cracked, broken, or worn, replace it immediately to prevent further damage.
Adjusting the Skid Shoes
1) Raise the Auger Housing
Prop up the housing by placing a flat sturdy object (piece of wood) under the scraper bar. Use an object whose thickness is similar to the height that you want to set your skid shoes to.
2) Loosen the Skid Shoe Bolts
Remove the nut on the bolts that attach the skid shoes to the auger housing.
3) Adjust Height and Tighten the Bolts
Adjust the skid shoes to the desired height. Retighten the bolts on both skid shoes. Use a tape measure to determine if they are adjusted evenly.
These skid shoes are reversible. If one side becomes too worn, flip them over.
Final Inspection
On final skid shoe inspection, you want to be sure that the auger and housing are off the ground. For safety reasons, if the surface you are clearing isn't paved, use a higher adjustment to avoid throwing gravel.
This inspection and adjustment should take about 15 minutes. You should be able to do it with either a socket set or wrenches.
Keeping the skid shoes properly adjusted and maintained, could help extend the life of your snow blower by protecting the housing, auger and gear box.
Jack's Safety Tips: Before servicing or repairing any power equipment, disconnect the spark plug and battery cables. Remember to wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves to protect against harmful chemicals and debris. View our Disclaimer.

Why don't smaller snow blowers have skid shoes to prevent damage to the housing?
The procedure detailed in this article is sloppy.
Yes, put something under the scraper bar, but a 1/2 block of wood doesn't help you adjust where the skid plates should live, unless you like resting the side of your head on the ground and guessing.
Move your machine to a flat surface. Near each end of the scraper bar place something under the bar which defines the height you want.
Loosen the nuts for the skid plates and lower the plates to the floor. Hold the plates to the floor while you tighten them back up.
Just getting psyched to use my garage sale bought machine. FYI, I used 2 pennies for my initial setting. I'm not saying this is a perfect height. But it's got to be better than scraping the ground constantly. the machine as purchased was set with no lift at all, and the scraper bar is somewhat warn.

Why Julia Reda Supported Juncker for EU Commission President
In her latest blog post, Pirate MEP Julia Reda declared that she voted for the conservative Jean-Claude Juncker in the recent election held on 15 July 2014. Her reasons were partly tactical and partly political.
The European Parliament had fought hard for the right to have input into the nomination process and voting for Juncker was a way to cement that right especially in the face of new anti-EU right wing parties. If he had not been selected, there was the chance that the council would have declared the experiment a failure and resorted to the previous system. A system where national governments selected the President in back room deals, without any form of transparency. A strong European Parliament is a Pirate Party goal and PPEU nominated Amelia Andersdotter and Peter Sunde for the Comission Presidency.
Surprisingly Juncker is open to copyright reform. In answering a question put to him by Julia he said;
Copyright may not impede the digital ambitions of Europe, but must be an instrument to mobilize the European digital potential.
However, leaked documents and previous attitudes of the Commission demonstrate a need to be wary. Up until now only non-binding recommendations have been issued and nothing with any teeth. Other areas that Juncker has ticked Pirate policy boxes are:
- a digital single market
- breaking the blockade of data protection regulations in the Council
- an obligatory lobby register
- making public all documents relating to the TTIP negotiations
- board band rollout
- increased renewable energy power
Julia summed her action up;
At the same time, we have great differences – for example considering his position on asylum policy. However, as the only Pirate in parliament, I need to prioritize some issues over others. Hence, I made my decision mostly dependent on the core issues of the European Pirate Party's common election platform.
The full text of Julia's explanation can be read on her blog. Remember Julia is representing not only the Pirates of Germany but all of Europe. She is interested in your opinion.

From Byron:
Great looking figures Rob, and if you don't work with plastic often, Plastic Soldier Company is a good starting point. They are both cheap and relatively nice for the price (depending on which set, some of the old ones are not great, but the new ones are really nice). The detail is also softer on most plastics since they have to worry more about undercuts when working with the metal injection molds required compared to silicone molds for metals. You just have to paint them slightly differently than metal figures. As for weight, yeah it takes a while to get used to, but one HUGE benefit is that if they get bumped or dropped they normally don't break, and you can say goodbye to chipping! That is the biggest thing that makes me far prefer plastic over metal, all my metal figs end up chipping no matter how careful I am.
Anyway, enough babble.... I think these look really good, so I wouldn't change anything too much. If you're worried about the faces, just give them a dark wash and then pick out the highlights again. I look forward to your terrain piece coming up before the end of the challenge.

I had to choose one of their beautiful fabric designs and 'cut, stitch and blog' my way into their competition. As soon as I saw their selection of fabrics to choose from, and spotted the poppies, I knew straight away what I wanted to create.
I have used the poppies as a backdrop to add some familiar characters (if you've seen my paintings) to. Have a look at the series of pictures below to join my little story. Big thanks to 'Hillarys' for the fabric, and fingers crossed!
The beginning
I start to cut out and place the poppies onto my material
More poppies and some extra flowers using a selection from my stash!
My little family of felt creatures, ready for their adventure.
Putting them all in place
The sewing begins
A little further along and all the animals are in place.
The white horse leading the adventure.
Adding hand stitched detail for the eyes and noses.
And here is the finished piece!
It measures apx 1metre long by 50 cm wide.
Hope you like it, would love to hear what you think, if you want to leave your comments below, thank you xx

Medicare Supplement Plan G
Medicare Supplement Plan G is also a very popular plan because it offers nearly identical coverage to Plan F at a lower rate.
Medicare Supplement Plan G covers the following:
- Medicare Part A coinsurance and hospital costs
- Medicare Part B coinsurance or copayment
- Blood (first 3 pints)
- Part A hospice care coinsurance or copayment
- Skilled nursing facility care coinsurance
- Medicare Part A deductible
- Medicare Part B excess charges
- Foreign travel emergency (up to plan limits)
Medigap Plan G covers everything that the Plan F does except for the Part B deductible (which in 2018 was $183/yr). Medicare supplement insurance Plan G is almost always less expensive than Plan F. Of course, the price of Plan G depends on your current health conditions, age, gender, and which company you purchase your Medicare supplement insurance with. Because it requires you as the client to pay the Part B deductible, it a less expensive alternative to Plan G.
What Medigap Plan G Does NOT Cover
Plan G does not cover the Medicare Part B Deductible.
Medicare Supplement Plan G Standardization
Before you consider Plan G rates from different companies, it is crucial that you understand Medicare supplement standardization. Medicare supplement plans have been completely standardized since 1991. So, as you consider Plan G pricing from the different insurance companies, you can feel comfortable that a standard Plan G from each company will be identical in the following ways:
- Same Benefits – Medicare supplement Plan G will have the same coverage listed above, regardless of the company you buy your supplement from. So, you don't have to worry about whether one company's Plan G is going to have more or less benefits than another company. It doesn't matter which company you buy your plan from, the Plan G benefits will be completely identical.
- Same Doctor's Network – Medicare supplement insurance companies do not have their own doctor's networks. Their plans are only supplements to your primary Medicare Parts A & B coverage. Your network is the nationwide Medicare network. In fact, 93% of primary care physicians still accept Medicare. So, you don't have to worry about whether one company has a better doctor's network than another. They will all share the same network – the Medicare network of doctors.
- Same Claims-Paying Process – Medicare supplement claims-processing is highly automated these days, which makes it easy for you to use the coverage. When you receive your medical services from your physician, they will only submit your claim to Medicare and not to your Medicare supplement insurance company. Medicare uses a clearinghouse that knows which Medicare supplement plan and company you use. Once Medicare approves your claim, they will pay the physician their portion and will notify your Medicare supplement company, through the clearinghouse, of the amount due to the physician from your Medicare supplement insurance company. The Medicare supplement company cannot decide they don't want to, or shouldn't have to, pay their portion of the claim. They have no choice. They must pay the amount due per Medicare's instructions. This is automated and completely standardized from company to company. So, you don't have to worry about whether one company is better at paying for claims than another. Due to the automation and standardization in this area, they're all equal in their claims-paying history.
Knowing about the areas of standardization above makes it extremely easy to consider rates for Medicare supplement Plan G from any company. So, it really comes down to who is going to offer the best rate from a company you can trust for your Plan G.
That's one reason so many Medicare recipients turn to Boomer Savings Center. We care about educating our clients through the buying process and ensuring they have options from over 30 providers nationwide. This ensures that you'll know what you're buying and have the choices available to find the best value.
Medicare Supplement Plan G Pricing
Plan G is historically less expensive than Medicare supplement Plan F. Because your only exposure with the Plan G is the Part B deductible (which is $183 in 2018), the savings from the lower premiums with the Plan G can sometimes outweigh the cost of the Part B deductible. Therefore, although the deductible is not covered, Plan G policyholders will typically save much more money overall with the Plan G due to the premium difference.

Hey, happy Friday and welcome to a new type of post on here called Coffee Date! I wanted to start sharing a little more personal posts every once in a while- almost like we're on a little coffee date! (and you're letting me vent to you and catch up with you, because that's what coffee dates are for! 🙂
So today, to start this out, I'm gonna share some bad news, and some good news too!
As most of you know I've always kept this site, and how I interact with you, completely transparent. Hiding things or being unclear has never been something I've been interested in. Likewise, that goes for what I'm about to tell you. I wanna get real for a sec. If that's cool?
I will be the first to admit, sometimes I take on a little too much. Because, I like everything, and I want to do everything, and I think I have time and energy to do it all. But the truth is, I can't. (Shocking, I know!) And I now find myself at a point where I really have taken on way too much. Like, probably too much for 3 people to handle and I'm trying to do it all on my own.
And I've put a lot of thought into what I want this blog to be, this shop to be, my brand to be, and I want it to be so much better. I'm proud of the kind of content I've been putting out but not necessarily the quality. And part of that is because I'm spreading myself too thin, trying to do too many things, too soon, and it shows in my content. And for that, I'm sorry, I'm trying to improve with every post, but sometimes it's a slow process.
So all this to say, the bad news is- I'm going to be delaying the launch of studioEM: The Shop. This kills me because this was a project I was SO excited about, but when I chose the launch date, I had no idea how many trips I'd be taking right around that time, or how challenging this next college semester was going to be, or how much time the new kinds of content I would be making would take to create (I love making videos but they take 3-4x longer to make than blog posts).
I found myself days away from my projected launch date, with products I wasn't completely happy with, prices I wasn't either, and a barley there shop site. Launching a shop has been a dream of mine since 2012 and that's not how I wanted it to start out- a sort of mediocre thing I hoped people would like. I wasn't proud of it.
So, yeah, it's a delay but this won't be a super-far away delayed date, in fact I'm aiming for only a few extra months to make it perfect. Hopefully early to mid March will be the golden time.
While this is a little bit of a let down to me, I'm excited to give my products the time they deserve and give you all a collection of really awesome things that I'm excited about!
So the good news…
If you haven't seen it in any of my videos yet (or caught the hint from earlier in this post) I am going on two trips right back to back through the last week of January and first week of February! This means awesome content for two reasons: 1. This is the first year of my newly made YouTube Channel, so I will do my best to vlog as much as I can on these trips to share my experiences with you! and 2. I've been planning this trips like crazy and I think I've found just about everything on the internet about these places- and of course I'm going to share them with you!!
So where am I going?
Well, no where international yet. ): Sticking to my all time domestic faves- Georgetown, D.C. and Orlando, FL! I'll share more info about my packing lists, my plans, and more when it gets closer to my trips, but for now I'm just excited to announce it!
Last time I went to Georgetown DC, I blogged about my favorite things there! You can find that post here if you're curious.
So that's it, for today! Tomorrow I'll be back with fun content! Promise! 🙂
Thanks for your continued support!

On Twitter today who cares about National's education policy, what matters is that the excellent Lawrence Arabia – I really am a fan – is cross. First this:
Had to turn off the Panel due to some fool scoffing at ELO/Olivia Newton John's "Xanadu." What a fucking pleb.
Fair point. And then this:
PS. an indication of my rage is that that was the first time I have used the F word in a tweet.
Another fair point. Lawrence is a very polite tweeter. Next he posted a link to Olivia Newton-John performing 'Xanadu'. The vid is a bit Mary Poppins at first with all those umbrellas and then later a bit low-budget Busby Berkeley. But still, Olivia:
But wait, here is Jeff Lynne of ELO with 'Xanadu'. Fair enough, he wrote it:
With all due respect to ELO and Olivia Newton-John, there is another 'Xanadu'. Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich of Wiltshire – Salisbury, most of them – had a hit of that name in 1968 and here is their wonderfully insincere video of it. Parental advisory: contains a whip:
Fun fact: DBMT had more Top Ten hits in New Zealand than anywhere else. Among them was "Bend It", a great favourite of Gilbert and George. Also "Hold Tight" – the Stones weren't the only band playing like that in 1966:

The W-2s are in the mail, and you're about ready to schedule that painful visit with your tax preparation professional. AOPA can't lessen that pain, but it can give you and your tax advisor information that may help you with tax issues concerning your aircraft.
AOPA has just updated its " Pilot's Guide to Taxes" for 2005, with information on income tax, sales-and-use tax, and personal property tax. The guide is written by Ray Speciale, an attorney and certified public accountant who is also a lecturer in business, accounting, and economics at Mount St. Mary's University in Maryland.
The income tax section includes information on the deductibility of aircraft and flight training expenses, the hobby loss rule, and issues related to aircraft leasing. Questions and answers explore such topics as when you can take a tax deduction for depreciation of your aircraft, what is bonus depreciation, and whether you can take a deduction for donation of your aircraft or services as a pilot.
There are suggestions for preventing or dealing with problems with the IRS. And there are summaries of relevant court cases and IRS rulings for you and your tax advisor to review.
Another section of the guide tackles the basics of sales-and-use tax issues. Members purchasing aircraft are particularly concerned with potential liability for sales-and-use taxes. The guide reviews the essentials of personal property taxes and registration fees and includes a listing of states that impose personal property taxes and/or registration fees.
"It is important to keep in mind that the guide will only provide you with general information regarding tax issues that could affect you as an aircraft owner and pilot," said Woody Cahall, AOPA vice president of aviation services. "You should always consult with a tax professional regarding your specific tax questions. But the guide has resources to assist you and your tax professional to find the right answers."

Flying Evaluation Board [F.E.B.]
Civilian defense attorneys Richard V. Stevens and Frank J. Spinner are best known for military court-martial trial defense and court-martial appellate practice successes. This includes high profile/media involved military justice cases, and other serious military criminal cases that have resulted in dropped charges/cases and acquittals (not guilty of all charges and specifications). While general court-martial (and sometimes special court-martial or summary court-martial) successes may result in more public recognition, there are many other military adverse actions that these military defense attorneys handle, that can have a dramatic impact on a military member's career, future, and family.
A Flying Evaluation Board (FEB) is a military board hearing in which a military pilot (helicopter or fixed wing) faces the loss of his/her aviation qualification – losing their wings. This adverse action can result from alleged misconduct, aviation mishap, or alleged violation of aviation rules and regulations. It is an extremely serious adverse action for a military member, and pilot, to face. An FEB can have a significant impact on a military member's career (promotion and assignments) – and could even lead to administrative discharge/separation, particularly in this time of military drawdowns. Because of this, having an experienced and aggressive defense attorney on your side is absolutely vital in these military cases.
Attorneys Richard V. Stevens and Frank J. Spinner defend military members facing FEBs, including written responses to the basis for the action, appearing with the military member at his/her formal FEB board hearing, and appealing adverse FEB outcomes. They also represent and defend military pilots facing Accident Investigation Boards (AIB) and Safety Investigation Boards (SIBs) after an aviation or ground mishap. Attorneys Stevens and Spinner are civilian criminal defense attorneys and former military JAG lawyers who exclusively practice military law and defend military members stationed around the world who are facing military trials, disciplinary actions, appeals, adverse actions, board hearings, and investigations. If you're facing a military FEB (Flying Evaluation Board), AIB (Accident Investigation Board), or SIB (Safety Investigation Board) don't hesitate to seek the legal help you're going to need.

CH Westerlea Elias' Tidal Wave SH FbDCH CD WCX, US WCI
Aug 1991 – Aug 2005
Chelsea came to me as an 11 week old puppy and turned my life upside down, hence the registered name of "Tidal Wave". She was a pup with an "on" button but without an "off" button. A go getter from the start, she was an animated pup with a desire to learn. And learn she did!
Chelsea was the first dog that I trained toward a field title. She learned faster than I did and was a very birdy pup who showed tons of potential at this game. As a 9 month old she picked up her WC (Working Certificate) title. The next season she became the first Toller bitch to pass the WCI (Working Certificate Intermediate) test and then at 2 yrs of age she passed the WCX (Working Certificate Excellent) to become the first bitch titled at that level. When the CKC Hunt Test program came into existence she added the SH (Senior Hunter) title to her name, again the first Toller to reach this level. In the show ring she picked up her Championship as a puppy with a Puppy Group to her credit. In the obedience ring she was a multiple class winner. The FBDCH (Flyball Championship) title came in one weekend of running. She was a keen dog who loved to perform in any venue.
For all Chelsea's own accomplishments her biggest impact on the breed is the quality of the pups she produced. Bred only 3 times, a total of 17 pups, attained over 70 titles in the US and Canada in the field, obedience and show venues. Six of her kids have show championships, 5 have High in Trial wins to their credit and many have multiple field titles. The first two CKC Master Hunters (MH) are a Chels son and daughter, a grandson became the 3rd CKC MH. The first CKC Grand Master Hunter (GMH) is a Chels son. A Chels daughter is an RCMP certified Search and Rescue dog. Chelsea produced pups that were versatile and sound and in themselves left their mark on the Toller breed in many areas.
Chels made a tremendous impact on my life. She introduced me to so many new friends and activities. She was my first hunting dog, my first brood bitch, the first dog that I finished in the show ring, my first flyball dog. Her kids hold tons of other firsts. She is the cover dog of the Toller book that was published by Alpine publications.
Chels, what is there left to say, but Thank You, for the patience you showed the green handler who wanted to try so much with you.
Chelsea is to be found in the pedigrees of many of the dogs here at Foxgrove.
Chelsea's kids have accomplished:
48 field titles
17 obedience titles
5 have won a High in Trial
9 show CH's on 6 different kids
1 is Search & Rescue Certified

A Keynsham father-of-three has launched an action group to push for improvements to road safety around three Keynsham schools.
A Keynsham father-of-three has launched an action group to push for improvements to road safety around three Keynsham schools.
Nick Elliott says urgent action is needed to protect the hundreds of children crossing Chandag Road every day to get to Wellsway, Chandag Junior and Chandag Infant schools.
Weeks ago, his own six-year-old daughter was involved in a near-miss as she crossed the stretch and now he is calling on other parents and residents to back his campaign to improve pedestrian facilities and slow traffic.
Mr Elliott said: "My wife was crossing the road with our three daughters after school when one car coming one way stopped and the other car didn't and my daughter ran across. Luckily the other car managed to stop but it was too close for comfort.
"I have seen a number of incidents involving young people and elderly people in the years I've lived here.
"Other areas of the town have been more of a priority in recent years but now something needs to be done in this area – it's a unique site with so many schools and a nursery in one location and the road safety is not good enough for 2015."
Mr Elliott has approached the head teachers of the three schools as well as writing to the governors and is due to meet with representatives of the council's road safety team.
As well as dedicated crossings, other safety measures could include double yellows to prevent cars being parked on both sides of the road and on its bends and speed bumps, says Mr Elliott.
He added: "There are so many things you can do but I want the council to come to us with what they feel is appropriate."
Anyone who would like to join Chandag Road Safety Action can contact Mr Elliot on 07971 846067 or email email@example.com.
Wellsway School head teacher Simon White said: "Chandag Road is undoubtedly a very busy road at the beginning and end of the school day. We have been informed that the local authority regularly reviews the safety of the road and that a number of initiatives have been tried in recent times to improve the situation. It will be interesting to hear from those with expertise in the area of road safety and to consider, with other local residents, what more can be done to ensure that children and young people remain safe on Chandag Road."
A spokesperson for B&NES Council said: "The council is planning to meet local residents to discuss their concerns and whether additional road safety measures are needed."

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK), a producer of natural gas, natural gas liquids, and oil within the United States, shot out of a cannon and zoomed higher by as much as 18% after announcing a large well sale to Southwestern Energy (NYSE:SWN).
So what: According to Chesapeake's early morning press release, it is selling 435 wells in the Southern Marcellus shale and Utica shale formations, spanning approximately 413,000 net acres, to Southwestern Energy for $5.375 billion. Per the release, the average daily production for the month of September from the active wells involved in this sale was approximately 56,000 barrels of oil equivalent. The deal is expected to close sometime in the fourth quarter.
Now what: For more than a year now, Chesapeake has made paying down its debt and shedding noncore assets its top priority, and today's sale to rival Southwestern Energy demonstrates just how serious the company is in its efforts to reduce its leverage. Through last quarter, and looking back two years, Chesapeake has reduced its GAAP debt by 7% and chopped more than one quarter off of its leverage. This deal will go a long way toward putting a dent in its remaining $11.6 billion in debt as of the end of the second quarter.
Best of all, Chesapeake continues to stick by its production guidance thanks to production growth in other shale formations, such as Haynesville and Niobrara.
Long story short, Chesapeake was already cheap prior to this sale, and with a smaller debt load, it should look even more attractive than before. If you're looking for solid values in the energy sector, I think you certainly could do a lot worse than Chesapeake Energy.

"He who knows how to appreciate colour relationships, the influence of one colour on another, their contrasts and dissonances, is promised an infinitely diverse imagery."
~ Sonia Delaunay
Recently the children in my class enjoyed an art activity where they made hand prints in the style of Andy Warhol's art, using primary (i.e., red, yellow and blue) and secondary (i.e., green, purple and orange) colours. They painted the four sections of their paper different colours, and then made a hand print in the middle of each square, the idea being to ensure that each square used one primary and one secondary colour. This was a wonderful sensory activity and gave children the opportunity to make decisions about which colours they wanted to place together. However, many of them seemed to find the terms primary and secondary a bit mysterious, so we decided to make our own colour wheel in order to get a better understanding of what these terms mean. It was interesting to find a way to give them information that they needed, and to find out what they know already about colours and colour mixing.
I decided to read the book Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh. This story is wonderful because it allows children to easily name the colours they know, and to make predictions about what will happen when two colours are mixed together. And it provides a bit of clarity about what we mean when we talk about primary and secondary colours. As an extension to the reading activity, we did a number of things. We made lists of familiar things that were red, yellow, blue etc. For yellow, the children contributed words like the sun, bananas, lemons, dandelions and these were written on yellow paper. Making such lists for each colour allowed children to see their ideas written down, and to connect the new information to what they knew already. Some children drew pictures of things that represented each colour. Others painted paper plates using the colours that represented different parts of the colour wheel. When all of these things were accomplished, we assembled them into their own unique colour wheel, and created a display that the children can look at as needed.
Why teach young children about the colour wheel? I looked at the book Children and Painting by Cathy Weisman Topol. She writes that when we place the colours we see in the rainbow (the visible spectrum) in a circle, it is easier to see the relationships between them, and to establish basic rules about using and combining colours (p. 43). We can learn about the primary colours – those that cannot be made by combining other colours (e.g., red, blue, yellow); secondary colours – those that are created by combining primary colours (e.g., orange, green, purple); tertiary colours – those created by combining a primary colour with a secondary colour (e.g., yellow-orange or blue-green); warm and cool colours – the degree of warmth or coolness depends upon how much red or blue is in the colour; harmonious colours (those related to each other or close together on the colour wheel) and contrasting colours (those that are opposite to each other on the colour wheel). Being introduced to these concepts broadens children's understanding of the colours they are learning to recognize and to create through active exploration. It gives them the language they need to describe what they are expressing through their art while building their colour vocabulary. The simple activity of making hand prints, using primary and secondary colours revealed significant information about what children knew about colours and what I could do as an educator to add to their understanding.

Senate Republicans want to include portions of their Obamacare repeal bill in legislation to reauthorize the Children's Health Insurance Program, lawmakers told Bloomberg BNA.
If Republicans can't pass a major overhaul of the Affordable Care Act in the weeks after they return from the August recess, they'll look to the CHIP funding bill as a possible vehicle for it, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), the majority whip, told Bloomberg BNA Aug. 3.
"At some point we have to break the stalemate because obviously we're stuck, and I'm for us getting unstuck," Cornyn, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, which is charged with reauthorizing CHIP, said. "I think that presents an opportunity, the next best opportunity."
Senate Republicans fell one vote short of passing an ACA repeal bill in July, and many are hoping a new plan, created by Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), can unite them in September, when they return from their August recess.
However, it's unclear how much support there is for their repeal plan, which would convert the ACA's insurance subsidies and Medicaid into block grants largely controlled by individual states, and whether it can be passed via the filibuster-proof reconciliation process Republicans need to pass legislation without Democrats' support.
Those eager to pass at least some elements of an ACA repeal bill, such as rolling back or ending the requirements that all Americans have health insurance and most employers extend insurance to their employees, are likely to try to attach them to legislation considered must-pass.
Congress will return to face several pressing issues in September: They must pass legislation funding the government and increasing the country's debt ceiling. Some Republicans, including the head of the Senate Finance Committee, have said their main concern after recess will be tax reform, which could put Obamacare repeal on the back burner for the immediate future.
The Senate Finance Committee will hold a hearing on CHIP in early September. Lawmakers hope to produce a funding bill before the end of that month, according to lawmakers and a health lobbyist.
The 20-year-old public insurance program extends coverage for kids whose families fall in the gap between meeting eligibility for Medicaid and being able to afford other types of private insurance, with 46 states and the District of Columbia insuring children up to or above 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Over the years the program has expanded to cover pregnant women and roll out childhood obesity programs.
Funding for CHIP is set to run out Sept. 30. Several states will exhaust their CHIP funds by December and nearly all states will exhaust their CHIP funds by March 2018, according to congressional advisers.
Democrats and Republican committee leaders are pushing for a relatively clean CHIP bill, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) told Bloomberg BNA. Adding ACA elements to the legislation might delay its passage, putting added pressure on states to keep the programs afloat as they wait for federal funds to be approved.
Only the House has held a hearing on CHIP this year, and crucial details remain unresolved, such as how long funding should be extended for the program and whether any changes need to be made to it.
Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, told Bloomberg BNA in July that Congress is considering either extending CHIP two years or seeking a longer-term approval.
Lawmakers are in discussions over which should happen and when the call should be made. Further, congressional Republicans are asking Democrats what they're looking for in reauthorization.
The leaders of the Senate Finance Committee purposefully scheduled hearings on both CHIP funding and on the Affordable Care Act in September in hope of separating the two issues, Wyden said. A clean CHIP bill, one with reforms supported by both Democrats and Republicans, could pass the Senate in a few weeks, he said.
"You can't control a member from trying to offer something, but we both feel it's urgent business to pass CHIP," Wyden said, referring to himself and Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah).
CHIP funding bills are often vehicles for legislation that might not otherwise pass, Hatch, who helped created the CHIP program as a senator 20 years ago, told reporters. Both parties generally agree the program should continue, so the legislation is considered a must-pass.
"CHIP is always being used by both sides," he said. "It's a shame because it's the one bill that does bring us all together."

Welcome to Tyneside Rafa and friends
After years of apologising to my children for their being
born into a Newcastle United supporting household, finally they have one of
those moments. The arrival of Benitez is that Kevin Keegan/Alan Shearer/Sir
Bobby moment. What can we expect?
Before getting carried away, we should point out that there is an escape clause in the contract. Rafa could walk if he fails to keep Newcastle up, which we will come to in a moment.
The first hurdle is Leicester City, against the man who followed him to Valencia. The home side provides an example of what a club can do with an overseas manager who has a good knowledge of the English game. Benitez will surely use Leicester as inspiration for what he can achieve on Tyneside.
Talking of Tyneside, his welcome from home supporters will be in the cauldron of a local derby against a manager with who he has some history. Their previous encounter at St James' Park resulted in a 3-0 win for Rafa with goals from an Englishman and 2 Dutchmen.
Benitez will be aiming for his 7th home win out of 7 against Allardyce, during which a Sam side has only scored once, a goal difference of 12 in Rafa's favour.
The new boss will be assured of a great atmosphere, the sort that only Steve Taylor would have witnessed before when Keegan returned. Of course he will be reunited with Jonjo Shelvey who he signed as a 16 year old for Liverpool. Surely this will be a huge motivation for the players and encourage a longer term desire to remain with the club.
Suddenly, other games ahead look distinctly winnable, fellow
relegation contenders Norwich away and a former Newcastle manager already less
popular than Benitez, Pardew, in free fall before coming back to St James' with
his Palace side. Liverpool away provides a
link with his past.
He inherits a squad that should be able to make the most of the remaining fixtures, to gain instant legendary status for sending the Mackems down. We expect to be able to look forward to retaining his services next year.
At this point it is worth diverting to consider Mike Ashley. Having employed Graham Carr to bring in bargains, the Newcastle United business had become a model for cost control. With an asset that has had growing revenues, predominantly through TV income, we see a potential change from bargain basement to quality. Has he learned his lessons?
Certainly, the arrivals over the last 2 windows suggest a positive change, Shelvey, Wijnaldum, Townsend together with genuine potential in the form of Mbemba and Mitrovic. With his attention to detail, Rafa will surely have plans for them all.
When, after Bournemouth, we looked to be all but down, now we can realistically look at moving on. Anywhere above 17th will pay for his bonus. Further improvements will pay for McClaren's management team to sun themselves for a while. We can then start looking to the summer and beyond.
Rafa's meticulous planning has been demonstrated in the fact that his new management team are already in place. Continuity is provided in Ian Cathro who stays on. It says much that within an hour of being announced, Benitez had his first training session in place.
The depth of his database means that Benitez has his private dossier in every single member of his new squad. He already has his plans to deal with the strengths and weaknesses of every single Premier League team. That first training session will prove constructive.
Needless to say, he will already have some idea of where he needs to strengthen in the summer, which brings us to a major concession that he has achieved. He will have a critical input into who the club signs and who the club sells.
This too has knock on effects for the existing hierarchy. Benitez remains an ambitious man. He does not like to lose and it is not often that he does. He will need a transfer kitty and will want to spend it.
McClaren may have already encouraged a mindset shift, evidenced by the signing of 2 English players in the shape of Shelvey and Townsend. Whilst having dealt with several nationalities in his previous roles, suddenly we can expect to see more players from across the continent and beyond.
Known for our accounting analysis on this site, we have tried to estimate how much can be spent. Yes, we were called on the suggestion that a new manager after Carver could be given up to £100m. Has we signed Berahino, that would have happened. Are the reserves dry?
More will be obvious after last season's accounts are published. Our preliminary work suggests that between the accounts, Financial Fair Play and the new TV deal, a figure of £140m could be achievable with the caveat that there would need to be a short term cash flow injection into the club. This is feasible, either from commercial borrowing or from Ashley's pocket money.
In return, Ashley can expect increased commercial revenues
from sponsorship, aligned with a new quality image with the appointment of one
of the game's best. His return comes from a capital growth in the club, now
being more marketable. If this season goes to plan, then Newcastle United could
achieve a market value in excess on £1bn.
The timing is perfect. From what was the big 4, Liverpool have dropped out since Benitez left. Manchester United have faltered since Ferguson. Leicester and Spurs have shown that a top 4 position is realistic. Champions League potential increases the club's value still further.
We don't know if this all could have happened without the passion of opposition to the direction that the club had taken. Supporters have had their say, some by boycotting, some by being outspoken with varying degrees of constructive criticism.
If we stay up, we can look forward to passionate supporters following a passionate manager and a team worthy of that passion. Benitez can be the uniting influence that we saw under Sir Bobby and KK. We can hope that Ashley can finally see that compromise yields dividends. We have a common interest despite different motives.
Finally, this site has campaigned in its own way, more so since January, to appoint a manager of the calibre of Benitez or Mourinho. The latter was mentored by Sir Bobby and could have been realistic. He could have made himself bigger than the club.
In Rafa, we have a man who can potentially make the club as big as it deserves to be. Newcastle United is a club which dominated prior to WW1, with successes between the wars and FA Cup dominance in the post WW2 years.
On 9th January we invited Ashley to dream (here). The appointment of Benitez allows us the opportunity to dream. Now let's get on with staying up and making a bright future for Newcastle United.

Author: Tess Gerritsen
Series: Rizzoli & Isles (book #8)
Next in series: The Silent Girl
My rating: 4 Stars
Synopsis: At a medical examiners conference in Wyoming, Maura Isles decides to take an unexpected trip with an old college acquaintance and his friends. However, things take a dangerous turn when they find themselves snowbound in an abandoned village, and realize that someone is watching them. Days later, Jane Rizzoli is left with more questions than answers when she is informed of her friend's death, and travels to Wyoming where horrifying revelations slowly come to light and Jane moves closer to discovering the truth about Maura's fate.
Review: An intelligent if somewhat convoluted plot with quite a few twists and an unexpected ending.
Gerritsen is a skilled writer and is exceedingly adept at developing intriguing and complex characters. Maura's characterization and development is a particularly good example of this. However, this skill also highlights one of the main problems in the book, namely the overabundance of new characters some of whom are introduced and well-detailed but suddenly disappear, and others who receive little attention and then become very important to the plot. In both instances, the reader is left with numerous unanswered questions.
While the story begins really well and has an interesting premise involving a cult and its apparently deserted compound, the pacing is all wrong. The plot fails to gain any real momentum until the last few chapters, at which point it progresses too rapidly and the conclusion feels rushed.
Overall, Ice Cold is a light and satisfying read with some tense and thrilling moments, however, I definitely prefer the books in which Rizzoli is the primary focus. My rating for this book wavered between 3.5 and 4 stars but ultimately settled at the latter because this series is immensely entertaining.
