I’m so great at anticipating, I told the nurse who was about to jab me with a needle, that if there were an award for the skill of anticipation, I’d have it. In fact, I’d worked myself up into such a state of feverish anticipation over the prospect of seeing my own blood and the possibility of passing out (it’s happened before), that I actually gave myself a slight fever.
I’m an amazing manifester.
Anticipating, creating emotional expectation and excitation about the future, is central to manifesting. Using the energy of excitement, you can create a story about what you most want to happen, anticipating an outcome that- through focused energy, inner alignment, law of attraction and Grace- happens. So, yes, I’m amazing at anticipating/manifesting. I may have even reached a point where I have nothing left I want to manifest -other than enlightenment!
Yet as my own humbling example illustrates, much of the time we use our minds to make fearful and negative predictions about the future, or our self. Or, if not fearful and negative, wishy-washy, dubious, doubtful, worried and muddled states of consciousness that create unease and stuck-ness.
It’s not our fault. Neuroscience says we have a natural negativity bias oriented toward keeping us constantly looking for problems and threats. We are so used to thinking in terms of problems that we even tend to overlook positive experiences and place much greater emphasis on negative ones. Learning to overcome negativity bias hardwiring is part of being human.
I experience this myself, and I encounter this with clients. In the middle of an uplifting and momentous life change that will require incredible courage to simply begin, a client will ask me, “Okay that all sounds great- but tell me about the challenges?” Or, “Tell me about my shadow…” (ironically, often when I’ve been speaking to the shadow all along).
How does looking for a problem ever help? When a real problem arrives, it readily announces itself: House on fire. Job terminated. Then, the next steps are obvious ones. Most “problems” aren’t real. They are passing energies, and false perceptions. The truth of problems is that you will always find a problem if you go and look for one.
Yet if you’ve experienced trauma, or even a long stretch of difficulty, you’ve gathered enough past evidence to anticipate and predict, look for problems. When the house is no longer on fire, how do we leave the trauma and drama behind? We must mentally re-train our mind to stop looking for problems, and instead really sink into and absorb the good. To spend more time in THAT energy. Not in a naïve positive thinking way, but in a let’s-get-back-to-the-truth-of-who-we-are way.
A friend recently sent me an email that closed with, “You are a good person, Jessica. I hope you know that.” Perhaps because I’d been thinking about the negativity bias of my own mind, I took a few minutes to let the truth, that I am a good person, really wash over me. I steeped in this truth, like a good tea that I wanted to make stronger inside me. This fact of being a good person was more truthful and more essential than my temporary drama of the moment.
A few days later, watching this video (linked) my perception was reinforced. By absorbing, steeping in, and focusing on a positive experience I was creating new neural pathways. Pathways that would help me anticipate even more good, and these pathways would help me be more flexible and centered when I encountered real problems.
Many of us are working on evolving toward a better, more content, easeful state of being. We can use our ability to anticipate/manifest a future, one in alignment with what we truly want, by asking different questions.
Leo-Aquarius Full Moon Intuitive Energy Practice: What If?
Remember, as a kid, when the world was pure possibility and potential? What if I combined yellow and blue? What if I move to Australia? What if I become a ballerina? Leo. Leo is the Divine Child in all of us who remembers the pristine state of Light that we are. Light can do and be anything. It is everywhere, and nowhere. It is creative potential itself.
Then we “grow up” and our “what if?” takes on a different tone and energy. “What if I could do or be anything I want …?” becomes “What if… (insert complex disaster scenario based on all of my negative past experiences and my unexamined beliefs and conditioning, here)? The mind might be the only obstacle to having the life we desire and deserve.
One powerful way I’ve learned to break up my mind’s negativity bias is by intuitively playing with “what if?” I do this with clients, too. Here’s an example. My client is being bullied at work and thinks she has boundary issues. I ask, “What if the problem isn’t boundaries, but that you are in the wrong place, and with the wrong people, for your gifts to express and they sense that?” She says, you make it (this complex problem) sound so easy. “What if it is that easy?”
Then I pause for some seconds to let it sink in. This pausing, and allowing the Ego to connect with Truth, is key.
Insert “mind-blown” emoji here. I could feel her neural circuitry being challenged in a positive way.
Meeting your “what if?” with more curiosity can transform everything that you thought was true… into Truth.
The practice: In a calm state, think of a future something that fills you with a sort of anticipatory dread. Notice your “what ifs?” – the story you’re attaching to the neutral physiological energy of excitement, how you’re using it to predict a future.
Now, change the energy of the question (or change a statement to a question). An idea that “this will never work” or “what if it doesn’t work out?” becomes “what if this actually works?”
What if it’s so hard? … What if it’s surprisingly easy?
What if I don’t have a good time?… What if I have an amazing time?
What if I get sick on my vacation? …What if I’m still good – no matter what happens?
Allow the energy of the new “what if?” to drop into your belly and energy body. Remember, this isn’t a mental exercise, it is an energy practice. You want to feel that energy of anticipatory dread shift into the anticipatory energy of openness to another possibility. Wait for it to shift. Invite it to happen. Don’t push yourself into believing anything you don’t want to believe. Just be open and curious, allowing yourself to be shown whether this other “what if?” could be as true or truer.
Then, with practice, you can take it to the next level.
What if this relationship doesn’t work out?… What if I’m amazing and awesome as I am?
What if the next shoe is about to drop? … What if no shoes drop, only more chocolate comes my way?
What if I never heal this thing I’ve tried my whole life to heal?… What if there’s nothing wrong with me, and never was, and all I need to do is bask in the glorious light of my whole and complete perfection?
What if that person is a better healer than me?…What if I am the powerful healer?
Really, you can “what if?” anything in yourself right back into alignment with Truth.
This is so much more effective than using affirmations. The curious nature of a question will always invite you to feel into your personal connection to Truth by asking whether it is true for you, or by asking whether it might/could be true?… while affirmations/statements require only your compliance, which can sometimes feel rigid and untrue.
Aquarius is the archetype of innovation, of using our mental intelligence, our brilliance, to have a better future. It’s time to use the energy and excitement of anticipation, of “what if?” to play with the possibility of living at your highest vibration. What if it were possible? What if you can have everything you’d ever dreamt of having? If you are able to anticipate the worst, take it from me, you are fully and capably equipped to anticipate – and manifest- the most amazing outcomes you can imagine for yourself. You can use the energy and excitement of anticipation to either experience dread -or- all kinds of wonder and possibility.

After a handful of records that were probably more disturbing than effective, Bay Area art-rockers Xiu Xiu broke out last year with Fabulous Muscles, the most accessible work yet for a group that decidedly needs that access. Out-of-the-blue electro-beats, creaky drones and spasmodic dissonance wrap around the freaky, almost-cabaret delivery of crooner Jamie Stewart. With powerful lungs and the willpower to creep out the world, this guy is a prime-time slot away from being the next Daron Beck.

By Barbara Falconer Newhall
I’ve thought of George Leonard often over the years. And when I read in the New York Times last month that he had died on January 6 at the age of 86, I thought of him yet again.
George and I knew each other in New York at Look magazine, where we both worked during the 1960s. That is to say, we were aware of each other at Look – I more aware of George than he of me.
I was a very young editorial secretary — and not a very good one. (My bosses were people like Betty Rollin, Jack Shepherd and Pat Carbine.) He was a Look writer and a star. He was documenting – no, inspiring – the youth and human potential movements that were fermenting in the San Francisco Bay Area at the time.
George went on to write a number of books, including Education and Ecstasy, The Way of Aikido, Mastery and The Ultimate Athlete. He was a long-time influence at the Esalen Institute. And he was as formidable physically as he was intellectually; he took up aikido at mid-life and earned a fifth-degree black belt.
Though he barely knew me, George was kind enough to meet with me when I first moved from New York to San Francisco in 1969. During that conversation, he gave me some advice I’ve kept pasted to the inside of my forehead ever since.
We were talking about story ideas, and I told him I had one I thought was pretty hot, but I didn’t want to reveal it to him. At Look, story ideas were gold, we treated them like state secrets. If we didn’t keep them under wraps, our competition — Life magazine — might get wind of them and scoop us. We hoarded our ideas.
George’s response took me by surprise. “Don’t worry about it,” he said. “Ideas are not in finite supply. The more you give away, the more you generate. That’s the way the universe works.”
Those aren’t George’s exact words. But they are the way I’ve remembered, interpreted and reinterpreted them over the years.
Following George’s advice has been a useful practice. I’ve learned over time that the more willing I am to help out other writers and share my ideas and (hard-won) expertise with them — the more thoughts, ideas, inspirations and writing tricks (hot ones all!) pop into my mind.
I think of it as the Tao of writing.
Thanks, George. I’m going to keep on thinking about you.

Liverpool win the double: Sturridge and Rodgers take Player and Manager of the Month awards
Daniel Sturridge and Brendan Rodgers have won the Barclays Premier League Player and Manager of the Month awards for August.
Liverpool are top of the Premier League following a fine start to the season in which they have recorded three 1-0 victories at home to Manchester United and Stoke and away to Aston Villa.
It took classy finishes from Sturridge and an organised defence to inspire those victory and is the first time the forward's form has led to him winning the award.
Rewarded: Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge and Brendan Rodgers have both enjoyed fine starts to the season
Rodgers won the Manager of the Month award in January 2012 when in charge at Swansea but this is his first since succeeding Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool.
It was a potentially tricky start for Liverpool, with Jamie Carragher's retirement and the departure of Pepe Reina leaving the club without two long-term first-team regulars at the back.
In addition to that, Rodgers had to overcome Luis Suarez's disruptive attempts to leave.
Liverpool on Monday travel to Swansea, where they may have to win in order to return to the top of the Premier League depending on the weekend's results.
Clinical: Daniel Sturridge has quickly established himself as a key player for Liverpool
Thumbs up: Liverpool look ready to mount a real challenge for the Premier League's top four
Goalscoring hero: Sturridge netted Liverpool's winning goal over Manchester United
Time to celebrate: Sturridge gives Rodgers a hug (right) after scoring against Manchester United
Flying: Sturridge has produced the best form of his career since his January move to Liverpool
Improvised finish: United couldn't react quickly enough to Sturridge's smart header at Anfield

WWII spitfire to grace classic car show
And piloting the aircraft will be the son of the man responsible for its meticulous rebuild and return to the air after quarter of a century on the ground.
Nick Grace spent five years restoring the aircraft after finding it in a museum in Scotland in 1979. The Spitfire took to the air again in April 1985 with him at the controls and his wife, Carolyn, in the rear cockpit.
Tragically Mr Grace was killed in a car accident in 1988. He had been displaying the Spitfire for three years.
His widow, Carolyn, decided to learn to fly their Spitfire to keep it operational with a Grace in the cockpit in memory of her husband, in recognition of his outstanding achievement and for their two children Olivia and Richard, who were then aged five and four years old.
Richard, now 31 and running the maintenance organisation which maintains the aircraft and who displays the family Spitfire, will be flying his dynamic aerobatic display at Castle Howard.
The aircraft, which became known as the Grace Spitfire, is one of what is now a rare breed.
Mrs Grace said: “There are approximately 25 Spitfires that are operational in the country at this time and there were 20,000 built during the war as was this one. It did 320 combat hours to fight for this country and the average was 45.”
Built as a single seat low level Mark IX fighter at Castle Bromwich, the Grace Spitfire ML407 served in the front line of battle throughout the last 12 months of World War II.
ML407 was delivered into active service on April 29, 1944, by the famous pilot Jackie Moggridge to 485 New Zealand Squadron at ALG Selsey to Flying Officer Johnnie Houlton with the squadron code OU and personal insignia letter of V for Johnnie’s wife Vicki.
Mr Houlton was credited with shooting down the first enemy aircraft - a Junkers 88 - over the Normandy beachhead just south of Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944, while flying his Spitfire ML407 coded OU-V.
ML407 did a total of 176 operational sorties, predominantly ground attack, amassing more than 320 combat hours.
The restored aircraft will cut a stunning sight when it takes to the skies at Castle Howard.
Hundreds of classic cars and vintage vehicles will be on display in the grounds of the estate when the Grace Spitfire heads up a packed programme of entertainment on June 19.
Tickets for The Yorkshire Post Motor Show and Classic Car Rally can be bought online by visiting www.castlehoward.co.uk/motorshow. Those booking online will receive a 10 per cent discount. To enter contact Karen Goodridge Cross on 0113 238 8201 or [email protected].

Did Babe Ruth let his piano sink into Willis Pond after a winter party on the ice?
(written by Katina Fontes)
This tale has been passed down from generation to generation in Sudbury but questions remain about its veracity. I myself have heard different versions of the story since my move to Sudbury in 2003. Did Ruth push the piano into the water in a drunken rage? Or was he having an alcohol-free party for children on the ice and was unable to move the piano back up the hill to his cottage? Want to learn more? Check out this article recently published by the New England Genealogical Society about Ruth and the piano mystery. The SHS plays a role in the investigation of this story as we have not only a collection of Ruth related artifacts and documents, but also a piece of wood veneer retrieved from the bottom of Willis Pond in 2010.
While the mystery continues, fans of baseball and Ruth can do their part in helping us learn more about the Bambino and his life in Sudbury by adopting the SHS Babe Ruth and Early 20th Century Baseball Collection of photos, objects, and documents at our upcoming 20th Century Exhibit and Benefit for Phase III of the Sudbury History Center on October 20th. On that evening we will be auctioning off the adoption of this and other collections. Adoption will help with preservation and future research and acquisitions. All donations will be recognized in the Sudbury History Center (scheduled to open in the Fall of 2019).

How Does Diabetes Affect Your Body?
Oct 06, 2022
Diabetes is a condition that is characterized by the need for insulin to be injected into the body to keep blood sugar levels under control. The disease can lead to a variety of complications, including type 2 diabetes, which is the most severe form of diabetes.
But we cannot forget that it does affect our bodies in various ways. In this article, we will help you to know about how diabetes can affect your body. Let's have a look!
Problems arise with diabetes:
There are problems that people experience and these are as follows
1. Heart and blood vessel disease:
Heart and blood vessel disease is a problem people experience with diabetes. This is because when you have diabetes, your body doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it properly. Over time, this can damage your heart and blood vessels.
Also, if you have diabetes, you’re more likely to develop heart and blood vessel disease than someone who doesn’t have diabetes. In fact, about 65% of people with diabetes die from heart disease or stroke.
Nerve damage is a problem people experience with diabetes. It can cause pain, tingling, and numbness in the extremities. In severe cases, it can lead to problems with the autonomic nervous system, which controls automatic body functions like blood pressure and digestion. Diabetic neuropathy is a serious complication that can be disabling or even life-threatening. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent or slow its progression.
3. Kidney damage:
Diabetes is a problem that many people face which can lead to kidney damage. This is a serious problem because the kidneys are responsible for filtering blood and removing waste from the body. When they are not functioning properly, it can cause a build-up of toxins in the blood which can lead to severe health problems. There are two types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2, and both can cause kidney damage.
4. Eye damage:
Eye damage is a problem people experience with diabetes. This is because when blood sugar levels are high, it can cause changes in the blood vessels of the retina. These changes can lead to diabetic retinopathy, which is a leading cause of blindness. Diabetic retinopathy can be prevented by controlling blood sugar levels, so it is important for people with diabetes to monitor their blood sugar levels carefully.
Depression is a problem people experience with diabetes. It can be hard to cope with the day-to-day management of the disease, as well as the longer-term complications. For some people, depression can be so severe that it interferes with their ability to care for themselves. The good news is that there are treatments available that can help.
6. Foot damage:
Foot damage is a problem that many people with diabetes experience. Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation, which can lead to foot problems. Foot problems can include pain, ulcers, and infections. People with diabetes should take steps to prevent foot problems, such as wearing proper footwear and checking their feet regularly.
Alzheimer's disease is a problem people experience with diabetes. The main symptom of Alzheimer's disease is memory loss, which can be a major problem for people with diabetes. There are two types of Alzheimer's disease, early onset, and late-onset. Early onset Alzheimer's disease is more common in people with diabetes, while late-onset Alzheimer's disease is more common in the general population. There is no known cure for Alzheimer's disease, but there are treatments that can help manage the symptoms.
8. Skin and mouth conditions:
If you have diabetes, your body isn’t able to regulate blood sugar effectively. This can cause problems with your skin and mouth. You may develop conditions like diabetic rash, dry mouth, or thrush. These problems can be uncomfortable and can lead to other health issues. Taking care of your diabetes can help prevent these conditions.
9. Hearing impairment:
Hearing impairment can be caused by either damage to the inner ear or a problem with the nerve that connects the inner ear to the brain. Hearing loss can make it difficult for people to communicate and interact with others. It can also lead to social isolation and depression.
10. Extreme thirst:
A person with diabetes may experience extreme thirst as a symptom of high blood sugar levels. This can lead to dehydration and other health problems. Treatment for extreme thirst includes managing blood sugar levels and drinking plenty of fluids.
11. Dry and cracked skin:
Dry and cracked skin is a common problem caused by high blood sugar levels damaging the nerves and blood vessels in the skin. This can lead to the skin not being able to retain moisture, resulting in dryness and cracking. Treatment for the condition includes using moisturizers and avoiding exposure to harsh weather conditions.
Ketoacidosis is a problem people with diabetes experience when their bodies produce too many ketones. This can happen when blood sugar is too high and insulin levels are too low. Ketoacidosis can be dangerous and even life-threatening if not treated quickly. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. If you have diabetes and experience any of these symptoms, seek medical help immediately.
Gastroparesis is a disorder in which the stomach cannot empty properly. People with diabetes are at risk for developing gastroparesis because high blood sugar can damage the nerves that control the stomach muscles. This can lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, bloating, and pain. Gastroparesis can make it difficult to control blood sugar levels, so it's important to work with a doctor to manage the condition.

Q.1 - What are the first signs of being a diabetic?
Ans: If you're wondering whether you or a loved one may have diabetes, it's important to know the early signs and symptoms. The early signs of diabetes include fatigue, blurred vision, and sores that do not heal quickly. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor for a diagnosis.
Q.2 - What are the 3 main signs of diabetes?
Ans: There are three main signs of diabetes: increased thirst, increased urination, and hunger. Other symptoms include fatigue, weight loss, and blurred vision. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor for a diagnosis.
Q.3 - What is diabetes caused by?
Ans: There are a few different things that can cause diabetes. The most common form of the disease, type 2 diabetes, is caused by a combination of genetics and lifestyle choices. Things like being overweight, having high blood pressure, and not getting enough exercise can all contribute to type 2 diabetes. Another form of the disease, type 1 diabetes, is usually caused by an autoimmune reaction where the body attacks the pancreas. This destroys the cells that produce insulin and causes diabetes.
Q.4 - Can diabetes be cured?
Ans: While there is no known cure for diabetes, there are treatments available that can help people manage their symptoms and live healthy lives. With proper treatment, many people with diabetes are able to live long and prosperous lives.

Around here, June is a month full of celebrations — several birthdays, an anniversary, and Father’s Day — so I’ve been busy making cards. A couple of weeks ago, I posted a sneak peak of the image for my husband’s birthday card. With his birthday rapidly approaching, it’s time to put a card together for him.
To some, this image would probably make more sense for a July birthday. However, my husband is an NPS park ranger and he spends his days teaching the public about the history of the American flag. So this seemed like an appropriate birthday image for him despite the strong July 4th connotation.

I have the honor of being one of the guest designers for the Gruffies and Guests Challenge #18: Lavendar & Lace. This particular theme was a challenge for me since my style tends to be clean and simple. I needed to find my inner froufrou without creating a fussy and overdone card.
I recently purchased several Spellbinder dies, so I knew that I wanted to use them to convey the concept of lace without actually using any. The Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles die has multiple layers so I used the largest dies in the set and opted for a simpler die for the main image. I was stuck on which die to use until I saw a recent card by Kathy Jones of the Power Poppy Bloom Brigade which used the Spellbinders Labels Four die for the main image.
So here’s what I put together for the design team card. Details for my card are at the end of this post.
So here we go for our next challenge, the theme has been chosen this time by Lesley and is
* Lavender & Lace *
Don’t forget you do have the option of anything goes + if you do use the theme you will get 2 chances in the prize draw. We also take email entries, facebook entries and if you fancy joining us on the team for a month please put GD after your name in the linky.

SAN ANTONIO — Hepatitis C is a deadly but curable disease. Thousands of people in San Antonio are walking around not even knowing they have it.
"It hit me like a ton of bricks," said 54-year-old Guadalupe Guzman, who found out he had Hepatitis C one year ago. The disease attacks the liver. "I was scared because my sister died of liver cancer, so it was like, 'uh-oh, I'm next.'"
Clarissa Carvalho, a family nurse practitioner with University Health System, has been seeing Guzman from the moment he was diagnosed. "We saw his liver functions were a little abnormal, so we ran a hepatitis C anti-body check, which turned out positive," she said.
Guzman said, "Drug use, sleeping around with different women all the time, unprotected sex. That's what I think I got it from."
You could be at risk for having Hepatitis C if you had a blood transfusion before 1992, used needles to take illegal drugs, have body piercings or tattoos, were born between 1945 and 1965 or have a spouse or partner who has it.
It took Guzman nine months to get into treatment because he was afraid treatment would greatly impact his life. "I was thinking, you know how they go for dialysis? I'm going to have to sit somewhere where they pump the stuff in," he said.
But that's not the case. The cure for Hepatitis C is simple. Just one pill a day and you don't even have to take it for very long: A maximum of just three months. "When I started the meds I was like, 'man, this is easy,'" Guzman said.
Now, he has this message for anyone who thinks they may be at risk, too. Guzman said, "Take the time to take care of yourself, because like they say, if you don't take care of yourself how are you going to take care of somebody else?"

Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton could take a sabbatical from the sport after losing out to Max Verstappen in the race for last season’s Formula One world championship that is the claim of Sky Sports News F1 reporter Craig Slater.
Hamilton has not been heard from since losing the championship in Abu Dhabi on Sunday 12 December 2021.
Speaking to Sky Sports News on Monday, Craig Slater said that the longer that the FIA takes to come to a conclusion with their investigation into what happened on the final lap of the race in Abu Dhabi the less likely it is that Lewis Hamilton will be on the grid this season.
Slater revealed that he has been told by someone close to Hamilton that the seven-time champion took it very badly after losing the championship despite congratulating Max Verstappen on the podium.
New FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem believes that Hamilton will not quit while he has also confirmed that he will personally investigate what happened in Abu Dhabi last month.

The Columbia River Drug Task Force reports a joint operation with Homeland Security Investigations resulting in a search warrant service of a residence in the 900 block of Methow Street in Wenatchee, WA. This residence has been involved in numerous firearms, gang and narcotics investigations in the past. The residence is a known gang “hang out”.
The search warrant was served by the newly formed East Cascade SWAT Team in the early morning hours of June 30, 2022 resulting in two known gang members being arrested on Felony warrants. Jorge Verduzco Mendoza, a 24 year old male and his brother, Osvaldo Verduzco Mendoza, a 28 year old male were booked into the Chelan County Regional Justice Center on their warrants.
Three handguns were seized during the course of the search warrant to include a stolen firearm from Ephrata, WA.
CRDTF expects to file more charges after the investigation is complete. CRDTF detectives are working with our federal counter parts with HSI and Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) as part of the investigation.
Sheriff Brian Burnett reports on July 4th, 2022 a 44-year-old Vancouver, Washington man was killed in a climbing accident on the Icicle Buttress south of Leavenworth. The man’s climbing partner flagged down a USFS Officer who happened to be in the area to report the accident.
Chelan County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue personnel responded to the scene and found the male deceased from what appeared to be injuries sustained from the fall. With the assistance of Chelan County Fire District 3 personnel, the climber was brought to the roadway.
The female told rescuers the two were climbing on the Buttress when a heavy rain storm moved in. She was lowered to the bottom of the pitch and the male climber was to follow. As she was descending the trail, she heard a noise and saw him fall. It is estimated he fell approximately 100 feet.
The name of the climber is not being released pending family notification.
The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest is preparing an environmental assessment (EA) for the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest Danger Tree Felling and Removal Project.
The project proposes to remove danger trees that may jeopardize public health and safety along up to 452 miles of National Forest System roads.
It is located within seven post-wildfire recovery areas (Diamond Creek, Mcleod, Cub Creek 2, Cedar Creek, Crescent Mountain, Twentyfive Mile, Schneider Springs and Jolly Mountain), on the Chelan, Cle Elum, Methow Valley, and Naches ranger districts and Chelan, Kittitas, Okanogan, and Yakima counties in Washington State.
More details on the proposed action are available at https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=62402.
OLYMPIA – The Washington State Department of Transportation would love to hear your thoughts on the proposed plan for electric vehicles in the state, including the location of future charging stations.
WSDOT is developing a statewide electric vehicle infrastructure plan by Aug. 1, 2022, to unlock federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program funds. Once the Federal Highway Administration approves the new Washington State Plan for Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment in fall 2022, WSDOT could receive $71 million to act on the plan. The main purpose of the plan is to build out alternative fuel corridors in a way that links electric vehicle fast charging stations every 50 miles on major highways and within one mile of exit ramps.
People can add their picks for charging station locations by visiting the interactive map and can give their input through this online survey. WSDOT is seeking feedback from the wider community on the Washington State Plan for Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment.
To meet the August deadline, comments and questions should be submitted by email to

Online open house available through Sept. 5
OLYMPIA – An online open house is now available for travelers, freight haulers, business owners and others to provide feedback on the future of safety rest areas across Washington state. Input will be used to make decisions about the program’s maintenance and operations and to update the Washington State Department of Transportation’s strategic plan for rest areas.
The online open house is available through 5 p.m. Sept. 5 and allows participants to learn more about the strategic plan process as well as leave comments or feedback.
“This outreach will inform our strategic plan, which shapes the overall operations of our 47 safety rest areas,” said Safety Rest Area Planning Manager Angela Vigil. “It’s an important conversation as we work with our regional maintenance crews, agency leaders and partners on priorities and establish a clearer vision for the future of this program for all travelers.”
The public will have the opportunity to comment on safety, facility conditions, freight parking, site operations, traveler needs, WSDOT’s free coffee program and funding challenges. The agency will begin writing the draft strategic plan this fall, which also will be available for public review and comment. The plan is expected to be finalized in spring 2023.
Online open house information

About WSDOT’s Safety Rest Area Program:
WSDOT owns and operates 47 safety rest areas statewide. While services at each site vary, most offer general visitor information, electric vehicle charging stations, a place for travelers to rest (8 hours for vehicles and 11 for freight haulers in accordance with federal law), picnic areas, restrooms, drinking water, RV dumping stations, vending machines, and free coffee as part of WSDOT’s free coffee program by local volunteer groups.
OLYMPIA – With the Fourth of July holiday fast approaching, the Washington State Department of Transportation’s highly anticipated travel charts are now available to help people plan ahead. The weekend prior to Monday, July 4 is expected to see increased travel on many key routes including Interstate-5, I-90 and ferry service throughout the Puget Sound and San Juan Islands.
The closure of the U.S.-Canadian border the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in unreliable travel data and wait times for travelers. For this reason, WSDOT will not produce travel charts for the border crossing this year. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination remains a requirement for entry into Canada.
WSDOT encourages travelers to “know before they go,” and follow these tips whether traveling across town or the beautiful Evergreen State:
Highway construction paused
Most state highway construction work is suspended through the holiday weekend – including Friday, July 1 – to ease congestion. However, Revive I-5 work which requires multiple lane closures in downtown Seattle will take place beginning 9:30 p.m. Friday, July 1 through 6:30 a.m. Monday, July 4. Please stay alert for new lane shifts or work zone staging areas that may remain in place. And please give any emergency repair crews plenty of space to work safely.
No construction or lane closures are planned on I-90 from Friday, July 1, until Tuesday, July 5. However, the usual holiday increase in traffic volumes means travelers should expect eastbound delays beginning on Thursday, June 30, then westbound Tuesday, July 5 (see charts for more detail). Receive text message alerts about significant delays by texting the number 468311 with the words "WSDOT Snoqualmie."
In the Puget Sound, weekend toll rates will be in effect Saturday through Monday, July 2-4, on the SR 520 bridge and SR 99 tunnel. The I-405 express toll lanes will be free and open to all drivers on the weekend and Monday holiday.
People boarding a state ferry by vehicle should prepare for long waits. Peak travel times on most routes are expected to be westbound Thursday and Friday, June 30 and July 1, then eastbound, Monday and Tuesday, July 4-5. Customers also can bypass vehicle lines by traveling as a walk-on passenger.
Trains, airports and transit
Travelers making a trip by train, personal aircraft or bus also should plan ahead to avoid holiday delays:
At 3:39 this afternoon, Chelan Fire and Rescue, Lake Chelan EMS, and Chelan County Sheriffs responded to a report of a glider plane crash approximately 200 yds off shore from the 25 Mile Creek State Park area.
Chelan County Sheriffs Marine 1 with Chelan EMS Medics and Chelan Fire and Rescue’s Boat 71 with Rescue Swimmers responded on the water while other resources drove to the 25 Mile Creek State Park.
Upon arrival, one of the reporting parties stated that the glider and patient had just been towed to a house up lake.
The pilot of the glider had left the Methow Valley area when he lost air flying over Lake Chelan. The glider had a hard landing on the water and the pilot was able to free himself from the cockpit.
A quick-thinking witness jumped into his canoe and was able to paddle out to the pilot who was sitting on top of the cockpit in choppy water safely rescuing him.
The pilot suffered no injuries but was extremely cold due to the still frigid water temperatures.
The glider was towed to the State Park where it will be broken down for transport and removal from the water.
Chelan Fire and Rescue would like to commend the quick actions of the witnesses in getting the pilot safely to the shore.
The Columbia River Drug Task Force reports a joint operation with Homeland Security Investigations, started in March of 2022, has resulted in disrupting and dismantling a drug trafficking organization in the Wenatchee Valley that has ties to Arizona.
Three suspects have been arrested so far in the investigation. Tyson Horner, a 27 year old resident of Wenatchee , Nabiel Akhdary, a 44 year old resident of Phoenix, AZ and Brandon Lux, a 35 year old resident of Yakima have been arrested in connection of seizures of close to 10,000 Fentanyl pills, 2.5 pounds of methamphetamine, 2 pistols, and over $16,000 in cash.
At least 3 other suspects involved in the drug trafficking organization are in the process of being tracked down for charges related to possession for illegal narcotics with the intent to deliver.
Horner and Akhdary were Federally indicted in US District Court, Eastern District of Washington in Spokane, WA for Fentanyl distribution charges. Akhdary and Lux were both in possession of a loaded pistol when they were arrested and both subjects are convicted felons.
The Columbia River Drug Task Force works closely with our Federal partners, with Homeland Security Investigations, and both local and federal prosecutors to investigate, arrest, and convict Fentanyl
dealers in the Wenatchee Valley. As Fentanyl overdoses continue to climb both loc ally and nationally, CRDTF, our local prosecutor’s offices, and our local HSI office are committed to holding these drug dealers accountable.

Richard Tunnicliffe - J.S. Bach: Cello Suites - All Music
As a skilled performer on both the cello and the viol, and as a respected leader of Britain's movement for period practice, Richard Tunnicliffe brings a wealth of scholarship to his tasteful performances of J.S. Bach's Cello Suites, and his knowledge is of critical importance in his interpretations. Many cellists with romantic inclinations, who often follow the liberating example of Pablo Casals in his landmark recordings, tend to treat these extraordinary solo works as vehicles for rhapsodic expression and play with too much freedom, ignoring the essential nature of the suites. Tunnicliffe, as a clear-headed interpreter who observes historical research and understands the forms and particular characteristics of Baroque dances, plays with a clear rhythmic emphasis and always keeps in mind the pronounced styles of the allemandes, courantes, sarabandes, and other dances Bach employed. This distinguishes his performances from many popular sets on the market, and even though other cellists have greater name recognition, Tunnicliffe should be appreciated for his artistry and given a thorough hearing. Linn's sound is resonant and warm, and the cello is close-up and clear, but has little grittiness.

Your Favourite Photoshop Tutorials in One Place
Create a Cosmic Cross Sign in Photoshop
Something simple can be turned into a nice art. Here will show you to work on a special cosmic cross sign using space as a background. This is created by regular shapes with overlapping each other in some cases. After color adjustment, then we are done, the result looks like a pattern.
Designing a signature is like any other artwork which needs techniques to work on. Therefore, it is good to have a look on different results and tutorial to improve your skills. This signature tutorial for a panda worrier will give you some hints.
In this little Photoshop tutorial we’ll be designing a quick art piece, then we’ll be adding some texture to it, this is to demonstrate the use of texture in artwork,you can finish off by adding a few layers with solid colors in them, then mess with the layer modes and opacities.
In this time, we will focus on the big picture steps taken to create this image. You’ll learn some incredible techniques in this tutorial, and get a view into how the designer creates beautiful photo-manipulation based images. You can also apply the techniques into your image.
In this tutorial I will create an effect like the one in the header of the MSNBC.com website. This effect is a reader’s request tutorial. If you are using the CS3 version of Photoshop you can use the Smart Filters to test different values and see the effects without worrying about losing the previous version.
In this tutorial we are going to create a textured tag that you can use in your website designs. Adding textured elements to modern web designs is a current trend. Creating texture is a lot of fun. It makes design elements that you create unique. Let me know if you find a cool use for your own tag design.

Patients with antibody associated paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes make a profound immune response against their tumor, which cross-reacts with the nervous system and may result in neurological dysfunction. These patients provide the opportunity to study the mechanisms of the anti-tumor immune response and to elucidate the structure and function of human tumor antigens. This application focuses on the paraneoplastic syndrome, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). LEMS is a disorder of neuromuscular function found in high association with small cell lung cancer. Preliminary studies have resulted in the cloning of two proteins which are highly homologous to the beta subunit of the voltage gated calcium channel. These proteins are likely to represent the target of the immune response in LEMS. Studies are proposed to investigate why patients with antibody associated paraneoplastic diseases mount such a profound immune response against their tumor and how this immune response results in the disruption of neuromuscular and brain dysfunction. Experiments will focus on establishing any structural or functional differences between tumor and normal cell proteins. Cloned antigens will be characterized by DNA sequence analysis. The expression of these antigens in normal and neoplastic tissue will be studied as well as the expression of other tumor proteins that may influence the development of the immune response (i.e., MHC-I). The role of the (3 subunit in calcium channel function and the effect of LEMS IgG on this function will be examined. Of direct clinical relevance will be the development of a specific and sensitive serologic test for LEMS.

Volume 8 (2011): Article 6
Intermediate fen patches on a sloping rock outcrop in Koitelainen, Finnish Lapland
by J. Laitinen, H. Kondelin and R. Heikkilä
Published online: 25.08.2011
Patches of intermediate fen, dominated by Molinia caerulea, Trichophorum cespitosum and Loeskypnum badium and resembling low aapa mire strings (lawn strings), were found on a sloping rock outcrop near the summit of Koitelainen Hill, central Finnish Lapland. Using eighteen 56-cm diameter plots and NMS-ordination we compared the vegetation of the patches to that of (A) corresponding larger fens belonging to a well-known north-Finnish mire site type Loeskypnum badium fen, (B) to that of narrow seepage soaks dominated by Warnstorfia sarmentosa, and (C) to that of a local heath patch. Ordination of the sample plots suggested a ‘horizontal gradient’ (general wetness) and three ‘vertical gradients’ (1: stability of the water regime; 2: poor-rich species; 3: frost action). Species richness increased along both the horizontal and the vertical gradient, from wet seepage areas to drier Loeskypnum badium fens, to intermediate fen patches and finally to the heterogeneous heath patch. We regard the fen patches of Koitelainen as belonging to an ecologically extreme group, the water-fluctuating lawn-fens. The water-fluctuating lawn-fens are characterised by a thin peat layer with high humification degree, caused by intermittent aeration during drought periods, as well as by the specific community composition, which is evidently partly structured by the seasonal drought tolerances of individual fen species.

The Association of African Universities (AAU) says sound, strategic investments in improving the quality of higher education in Africa will pay off in the form of having strong world class academic institutions and socioeconomic development.
Professor Etienne Ehouan Ehile, AAU Secretary General, said the Association would diligently play its part in ensuring that the aims and aspirations of the various quality assurance initiatives and projects were achieved.
These, he said, included the African Quality Assurance Network (AfriQAN), the HAQAA initiative, African Union Commission’s African Quality Rating Mechanism (AQRM), the Pan African Quality Assurance Framework (PAQAF) and the Tuning Africa Project.
Speaking at the ninth International Conference and Workshops in Higher Education in Africa (ICQAHEA) on Tuesday in Accra, Prof Ehile said the topic of Quality Assurance continues to be one critical area which lay at the heart of the organizational mandate of the AAU and thus receives priority attention in the Strategic Plan and Core Programme of the Association.
He announced that the AAU had also been recently appointed by the African Union as the Coordinator for the implementation of the Higher Education Cluster of the continental Education Strategy (CESA 16 -25).
“This appointment is welcoming news and we are ready to work with all parties involved in pushing the core agenda of CESA forward. The CESA strategy is in line with the African Union 2063 Agenda and the Common African Position on the Post-2015 Development Agenda,” Prof Ehile stated.
The five-day conference on the theme, “Quality Higher Education, Harmonisation and Attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals in Africa”, is being attended by over 200 academics, vice chancellors and rectors of universities across Africa.
The objective of the ninth ICQAHEA and Workshops is to review recent developments/achievements in enhancing quality and promoting regional harmonization in Africa and beyond.
It would also promote awareness among the African higher education community of recent developments in enhancing quality assurance and accelerating regional harmonization under the Africa – EU partnership, including the continental strategy for Education for Africa 2015-2025 (CESA).
It would also address the role of quality assurance and regional harmonization in higher education in attaining the sustainable development goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015 in order to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all.
The conference is being organised by the AAU in collaboration with the Global University Network for Innovation (GUNi)-Africa, African Quality Assurance Network (AfriQAN) and the African Union (AU) and Peregrine Academic Services.

This weekend I participated in my first ever full 42kms marathon . The longest distance that I had done in training was 30 kms, so I knew the last 12kms were going to be tough - and that is where I hit the wall, as you can see from my times on the attached link. (I started 6 minutes after it commenced)
It was not an easy run, but I was buoyed on by many friends who braved the wind & rain to give support - I saw Kunix three times, Spencer & Yuri twice, Nic, Mori, Martin, Miwa and know that others were there too. I was also motivated by the generous donations from many friends towards the Lung Cancer charity that I chose (although disappointed that wealthier others did not contribute). My Grandfather died from lung cancer and so when times got tough, I thought of him, a WWII veteran and the bravest person I have ever known.
My other motivation was my music, good old rock with a bit of cheese thrown in, including the Rocky soundtrack. Sometimes a good song really lifts you and I pick up speed. At one time I had just seen Nic and his gf sporting a banner with my name, I could see Asakusa temple ahead, and then Vangelis (Chariots of fire) came on my ipod, I waltzed the next 3mins 34 seconds.
This marathon has really inspired me to make sure I continue to stay fit, and ensure that it wont be my last

The executive director of the International Olive Council told the Olive Oil Times this week that his agency plans to spend 1.2 million euros ($1.7 million) to promote olive oil use in the United States and Canada, building on what the latest IOC market report calls its “proven success” in the world’s biggest market.
Olive oil consumption in the US rose by 15 percent, according to the report, for the five year period through 2009. From 2010 through 2013, consumption is expected to climb another 10 percent. The IOC report includes a graph indicating a sharp increase in olive oil use that coincided with the beginning of the promotional activities by what was then called the International Olive Oil Council. Other factors that might have led to the trend were not examined in the summary. Meanwhile, consumption of all vegetable oils during the same period was only up about 4 percent (PDF).
The IOC will publish in the coming weeks a call for tenders, or request for proposals, for the promotional campaign which the agency wants to launch during the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade’s Fancy Food Show to be held in Washington this Summer. Promotional initiatives are expected to focus on the retail level where the agency’s research has indicated it is easier to influence buying decisions.
Other findings in the IOC market summary for March included data supporting the well-known American preference for Italian olive oil, which accounted for more than half of US imports in the most recent two years — more than double the imports from Spain, the world’s largest olive oil producer. Then again, during the same period investigations have shown olive oil shipments from various origins were routinely labeled as Italian, so whether or not Americans actually consumed more olive oil made in Italy than from others regions during the period would be hard to determine.

Madonna Stalker Loose
February 10, 2012 by staff
Madonna Stalker Loose, A crazed stalker who scaled a wall at Madonna’s Hollywood Hills home and threatened to slit her throat escaped from a psychiatric hospital a week ago, the Los Angeles Police Department said Friday.
Robert Dewey Hoskins, 54, was convicted in 1996 of stalking the Material Girl after a member of her security staff shot him in the leg when he tried to break into her home. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
At the trial, Madonna testified that her bodyguard told her that Hoskins wanted her to be his wife and said that if “he couldn’t have me, he was going to slice my throat from ear to ear.”
While in prison, he continued to threaten the star from behind bars, prosecutors told the Daily News in 2000.
After his release, Hoskins was transferred to a hospital where he was determined to be “mentally disturbed,” police said in a statement. He was released, but arrested again in 2011 and sent to another mental institution.
Authorities said the creepy stalker walked away from Astascadero State Hospital undetected Feb. 3.
Madonna, at the time, was preparing for her Super Bowl halftime show in Indianapolis. She has been informed Hoskins is on the loose, cops said.
She may not be the only one who could be in danger. TMZ.com reported that Hoskins has also threatened actress Halle Berry, sparking her desire to move to France with daughter, Nahla.

I am back from my holiday in Italy I have as yet to look at our photos so that I can share some with you we had a great time even if Hubby did get blisters the day we went to Rome!! I would definitely go to Italy again.
While we were away this is what I stitched in my spare moments when we were travelling around, I have also bought the pin cushion bed so all I need do now is make it up.
This is the 2nd ornament in the LHN Monthly ornament series I need to put the beads on yet. I have nearly completed the 3rd one.
I took part in the HOE LHN Exchange but unfortunately my partner did not complete the Exchange so Carol was kind enough to find a Stitching Angle to complete my Exchange her name was Melissa Cahill from the USA, she has made me a Tin finish which is beautiful the inside is covered in magnetic strip, I also received some goodies from both Carol and Melissa. I found this Exchange in the post when I came home from Holiday so it was a lovely surprise.

Michael Lamb was a white gay man who thought he knew it all. Then he was diagnosed with HIV, and he realized that if he wanted to end HIV stigma and racism, he had to start with himself.
This refreshing series following an African-American millennial woman living with HIV avoids the sappy or sentimental.
Intergenerational Jealousy and Serodiscordant Black Gay Romance: Creators of Daddyhunt's Season 3 Serial Spill the T
We chatted about all the new developments with principal storyline creators Casey Crawford, Daddyhunt's general manager, and Dan Wohlfeiler, cofounder of Building Healthy Online Communities.
The executive director and founder of the Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective (BEAM) recently oversaw a multimillion-dollar NIH research initiative focusing on improving health outcomes for young black and Latino men.
"This song is more than a protest. It deals with the prejudices surrounding HIV and AIDS as well as having an educational angle," Adam de Paor-Evans writes.
An interview with Marnina Ross-Miller about the obstacles young black women still face in taking on leadership roles in the HIV movement, as well as opportunities they have.
"An exhilarating new short film produced especially for people living with HIV is about to grab your heart and make you stand up and cheer," Mark S. King writes.
"The best gift we could give this movement is to step aside," said prominent HIV activist Phill Wilson at the U.S. Conference on AIDS. "This younger generation is smarter, younger, wiser, more capable, and they have the foundation that we built."
Ending the HIV epidemic in black communities is more than about health care, it's also about stomping out HIV stigma, according to experts and advocates who spoke at a recent panel discussion presented by the Congressional Black Caucus.
Racism as a barrier to accessing testing and treatment for HIV is an issue that is rarely discussed in white-dominated gay communities.

The healing power of spirituality and religion may be helpful as we manage the symptoms of bipolar and depression. Here are some compelling reasons why:
Source of hope
According to psychiatrist Mario Cruz, MD, the benefits of spiritual participation for those with bipolar can include a supportive network of friends and acquaintances, financial and other types of practical support, reinforcement of the messages of many substance-abuse programs, and uplifting messages that may help regulate emotions and provide a source of hope.
Higher quality of life
A study of 168 people with bipolar (published in 2013 the journal Bipolar Disorders) found that those who report believing in a benevolent world and feeling a spiritual connection have a higher quality of life and less depression.
Help for depression
Researchers looked at the association between mood and faith participation in more than 7,000 adults and found that those who prayed often or were “active in their faith communities” had less risk for depression over a two-year period. The results were published in a 2014 issue of The Gerontologist. Another study that reviewed existing research, and published in the Journal of Religion & Health (2013) found that people with depression received “particular benefit” from faith participation.
A 1998 study of 87 older adults suffering from depression, found that the rate with which those who recovered from depression the fastest corresponded to the extent of their religious belief.
More religion, less depression
According to Dr. Harold Koeng, founder of the Center for the Study of Religion/Spirituality at Duke University, there have been about 1,200 studies on the healing power of faith and the health effects of spirituality. In 2002, he said, there were 116 depressed geriatric patients studied who received standard medication treatment. The recovered patients reported significantly more religious practices and greater positive religious coping than those who remained depressed.
Religion and health
As mentioned in a review of more than 100 studies published in the Handbook of Religion and Health (2001), two-thirds of those found people who have a relationship to religion have “less depression than those who are nonreligious and if they become depressed, they recover more quickly.”
Enhanced primary care helps reduce ER visits October 1, 2020, CHAPEL HILL, NC—Integrating primary care services and behavioral health services appears to reduce emergency room visits among people with severe psychiatric conditions such as bipolar disorder, a new study suggests.

At-risk kids may have dysregulated coping mechanisms December 1, 2020, RIZE, Turkey—A new study has found distinct psychological features among children at high risk for bipolar disorder due to observable symptoms or family history. The Turkish study compared high-risk kids to children without risk factors. They found the high-risk kids were less likely to suppress...
Internet, mobile-based interventions help panic disorder November 1, 2020, ULM, Germany—Internet and mobile-based interventions appear effective for adults with diagnosed panic disorder and/or agoraphobia, a new study suggests.

Whether you live with bipolar or love someone who does, you can find comfort, wisdom, and strategies (maybe even a good laugh!) in these inspirational books. We can lose ourselves in the power of the written word, compelled by the raw emotions, deep insights, and humorous takes offered by others like us—people who share our...

Kaleta out of hospital, no timetable for return
Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta was released from Buffalo hospital today after being hit hard from behind by Toronto’s Mike Brown in the first period of Tuesday’s game at the First Niagara Center.
Kaleta, 26, will not travel to Boston for Thursday’s game against the Bruins, according to the Buffalo News.
There’s no timetable set for his return.
Brown was given a minor penalty for boarding on the play, but he won’t face a disciplinary hearing for the hit.
After the game, Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said Kaleta was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons.
“It’s a neck injury,” said Ruff. “He was X-rayed here and they took a precaution. They took him for some further tests.”

If you put fruit on cake, it's ok to eat it for breakfast, right? It is with this dairy-free vegan almond peach cakes! So perfect with ripe, summer peaches.
If you put fruit on cake, it’s ok to eat it for breakfast. That’s the rule, right?
Of course, the cakes I make aren’t super decadent. This one, for example, is whole-grain enough that it could just as easily be baked in a muffin tin or mini loaf pans… the shape alone would make you feel differently about what time of day is cake-appropriate.
Aside from the sprinkle of brown sugar on top, there’s no refined sugar. It’s moist on the inside thanks to a combo of coconut oil, almond milk and applesauce. And then, the best part – the peaches. Ripe, summery, juicy peaches.
This cake has one issue and that is that the peaches don’t last much longer than a day after they’re baked in. In our house, that doesn’t seem to be a problem…
almond peach cake
- 2 ripe peaches
- 1 cup whole grain spelt flour
- ½ all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup masa harina corn flour
- ¼ cup stone ground polenta
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ cup original Almond Breeze Almond Milk
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup applesauce
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- sprinkle of brown sugar, on top (optional)
- ¼ raw sliced almonds, on top
- Preheat oven to 350 & prepare a 12-inch round cake pan (or equivalent)
- Thinly slice your peaches and set aside.
- Combine the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the wet ingredients.
- Stir the dry into the wet, don't over mix.
- Pour batter into prepared pan(s) and place peaches, brown sugar, and sliced almonds on top.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
a note to simplify flours:
- sub spelt & all-purpose: with 1.5 cups all-purpose or white/wheat mix. (or a gluten free mix you like).
- sub corn flour & polenta: with ½ cup cornmeal.
Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. I used this to teach my Year 4 students about blog. I prefer a food blog to enthusiast them on the amazing way to use blog as a medium to develop their reading interest as well as to encourage them to write as a way to communicate their thought and share their feeling. Thanks again! I found the recipe is excellent to be tried out.
This peach cake looks like a dream! We love your blog and would love to have you as a recipe partner. Are you interested?
It’s absolutely beautiful – I will be proud to serve it to my guests tomorrow. Thanks!
Hello colleagues, how is all, and what you want to say on the topic of this paragraph, in my view
its in fact amazing designed for me.
Feel free to visit my page: game progresses (Margret)
Hello Jeanine, just wanted to let you know I baked your recipe last night for a dinner with friends and it was a great success! I’m keeping this recipe in my Evernote recipe folder 🙂 Cheers!
Hi Melanie, yay, so glad you (and everyone) liked it!
Although I prefer savory breakfasts over sweet ones, it would totally be fantastic to have this as a mid morning snack.
Just last night, I was planning on what to do with the peaches we are going to pick this Saturday, and then I found your blog. I am excited to make this. I am going to post it in my website how it turned out… thank you.
what stunning photos yet again! and a recipe full of all the ingredients I love to cook with!
How gorgeous is this?! So lovely!
I need to experiment with different flours – peaches are lovely this time of the year and its little saddening to see them go away soon
I made something really similar a little bit ago with spelt flour! Hooray for peaches.
Fruit means breakfast not dessert. So yes, cake for breakfast it is!

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what's going on...
I started another blog. It's called "How inTents" and it's an ideas exchange site for tent camping enthusiasts.
Yes, I was insane enough to use a very bad pun for the name, but I couldn't help it! I was certain "Tents R Us" was taken.
So, if you have a minute, go over and check it out. At the moment, it's just starting so you won't find much except for a pretty nice picture of our tent in Canyonlands NP, Utah.
Yep, yep, yep... I'm insane.

Ocean currents affect the temperature in the following ways
Currents influence the climatic conditions of the regions in which they blow. The warm equatorial currents raise the temperature of the region in which they blow. Similarly, the cold currents lower the temperature of the places where they blow. For example, British Isles would have been extremely cold without the warm North Atlantic Drift. The hot climate of Peru is cooled by the cold Peru Current.
