Boxer Puppy Training – Straightforward Ideas
Boxers are an exceptional mixture of playful persona, higher intelligence and athleticism with a warm affectionate nature. Boxers are in fact, a complete package deal dog simply because there’s so much to admire about them. One particular moment, he will be playing with your kids and the following second, he will be coming to curl up with you. The exact same second, he will be also running to investigate a knock at the door. They are so energetic and agile that they require ample lively exercises to get rid of their extreme vitality.
Boxer dogs are fantastic selection for any families with youngsters when they are offered appropriate education and socialization. They love to be in the company of the humans and they are quite loyal to them. If you train your boxer puppy, then you can get surprising and excellent results from him. You can commence training him once he is five-six weeks old. Start with standard commands like “Sit”, “Stay”, “come”, and so forth. Unless of course you will not educate him the proper and incorrect things, he cannot judge about the issues that can both please you or embarrass you.
The essential level to bear in mind in Boxer canine education is steering clear of harsh and punitive measures in the method of training. Punishing in no way yields you any advantage. Rather it will just expand abnormal behaviors in him and he might resent you for it. He will not obey your commands when you beat him. So, praise him and maintain persistence whilst instruction.
Besides coaching, you need to have to take care of his diet regime as well. Feed him 3 meals a day till six months and lessen it to two occasions right after onwards. As he can’t resist in intense temperatures, you need to give him particular care during the time of winter season and on severe hot days. With proper Boxer canine training and socialization, you can turn him into trustworthy and reputable member of the society.
You can learn to train even the most stubborn breed of canines inside of some minutes if you uncover some truly very good ideas and tips from somewhere. At the moment I am concerned in bedogsavvy which is a website that has a lot to provide with regards to many effective instruction tips for your canines to make the dog training straightforward and interesting.


Franklin’s Main Street Program working to improve downtown
One of the Main Street Program’s primary goals has always been to make Franklin's downtown more beautiful, comfortable, and inviting to visitors and locals alike. When Main Street Program's design committee visited nearby Main Street towns to see what improvements they are working on, they recognized the need for new benches that all have the same look in Franklin's downtown to improve the overall appearance while providing, comfortable functional space for people to relax on Main Street.
The Main Street Program purchased the first bench several months ago to begin their campaign. The bench was purchased in memory of Wayne Tallent, owner of Tallent’s Produce, who tirelessly helped the Main Street Program over the years. Every bench is very sturdy and will be installed by the town’s maintenance department. Each bench will be given or placed in honor of someone who has/had a business in the downtown area, by family members or friends.
According to Linda Schlott, director of the Franklin Main Street Program, she was surprised to learn that the second bench will be named for her husband, Mike Schlott. “He always helped me with all of the downtown events and I appreciate that everyone thought enough of both of us to do this for us,” said Schlott. According to Schlott, family and friends came together to raise the money for the bench and surprised her with the news.
“We have been looking at projects for the design committee to beautify downtown,” said Schlott. “The benches are one aspect of the project, which will also include signs that will give downtown an updated look.”
The Main Street program has three more benches ready to order now. “This is a great way to honor a loved one and help our town at the same time,” said Bo Bryant, member of the Main Street Program.
According to Bryant, several other exciting projects are planned to benefit downtown. New signage around town including a new gateway welcome sign similar to the one on the Highlands Road will soon be put up in front of the Knights Inn just off of the Sylva Road.
Schlott explained that “way finding” signs will be put up to provide visitors with information about downtown. The banners on the light posts will also soon be replaced with a new banner with vibrant colors.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, stakeholders asked CMS to delay or cancel Round 2021 Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program (CBP). CMS had 130 competitive bid areas (CBAs) with over 2,000 competitions. They received over 49,000 bids since Round 2021 began. Unfortunately, the payment amounts did not achieve the savings CMS was expecting for the thirteen categories. Originally, Round 2021 included sixteen product categories in 130 CBAs (non-invasive ventilators were removed in April 2020 due to COVID-19).
But off-the-shelf (OTS) back and knees brace categories had 127 bids and did show the savings CMS was expecting. Those categories are expected to save $600 million over the three-year contract performance period for the Medicare program and its beneficiaries. The new payment amounts and contracts for OTS back and knee braces will go into effect on January 1, 2021, with the new single payment amounts (SPAs) from CMS. In certain CBAs, some OTS back and knee braces will not be awarded contracts if savings weren’t attained. Payments for those contracts will be based on an adjusted fee schedule amount, in accordance with regulations in CFR 414.210(g).
While the OTS back and knee brace contracts are moving forward, CMS will continue to evaluate the remaining results of Round 2021 for future changes; with the goal to continue improving the DMEPOS CBP and providing patients with quality items. By helping Medicare establish market-based prices, it will help save the beneficiary’ and taxpayer’s money and limit fraud and abuse cases within the program.
Moving forward with OTS Back Braces and OTS Knee Braces:
- Bidders who won contract offers in Connexion (the DMEPOS CBP’s secure portal) need to respond no later than 8:59:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on November 10, 2020.
- Bid surety bonds will be collected from the bidders whose bids meet the forfeiture conditions specified in the statute and regulations.
- If the bids did not meet the forfeiture conditions in 42 CFR 414.412 (g)(3)(i), their bid surety bond liability will be returned within 90 days of the public announcement of contract suppliers for the CBA. (CMS will notify the bidders and sureties.)
- Utilizing the lead item pricing methodology, the SPA for the lead item is the maximum bid amount submitted for that item in the winning range. While the cost for non-lead items will be set by multiplying the lead item SPA using a relative ratio. To learn more about Round 2021 SPAs and how its calculated visit https://dmecompetitivebid.com/spa
- Bidders who submitted a complete bid and received a financial score can view that detailed information in Connexion.
- Notices became available on October 27, 2020, in Connexion.
- Administrative or judicial reviews are not provided in accordance with section 1847(b)(12)(B) of the Social Security Act and 42 CFR § 414.424(a)(2).
- Bidders have the opportunity to submit an inquiry for their bid within 30 calendar days from the issue date of the disqualification notice.
- Inquiries can be submitted in Connexion for review.
- The inquiry deadline is 8:59:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on November 27, 2020.
Competitive bidding surveys will be conducted to learn more about the user’s experiences and satisfaction with the DMEPOS CBP and help CMS determine if any changes need to be made moving forward. Beneficiaries, suppliers, and referral agents (i.e. physicians, social workers, case managers, etc.) will complete the survey.
As changes continue to go into effect, Medbill is a source of ongoing education to help and inform DME companies with Round 2021 information.
History on the Medicare DMEPOS CBP
The program was established by the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (“Medicare Modernization Act” or “MMA”). After being delayed from the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008, CMS successfully implemented the Round 1 Rebid in 2011 and in 2013 expanded it to 130 CBAs. In February 2017, Round 2019 would be delayed until 2021 so the SPA methodology could be revised. During that time CMS released information on how it determined beneficiary demand, evaluated how bidder’s roles for CBA and product category combination, and evaluated the financial health for each bidder.

I don't normally publish press releases, but this one is inviting West Orange County residents to something very informative and worthwhile....
National expert to share best practices in street designs that support economic development, safe access to schools, and neighborhood health
(Winter Garden, Fla.) – The public is invited to a series of free workshops that will address how residents and community leaders in West Orange can leverage streets and transportation investments to create places that are more supportive of economic development, active living, neighborhood health and safe access to schools.
Dan Burden, executive director of the national non-profit Walkable and Livable Communities Institute, will share how communities throughout the country and Central Florida are approaching transportation projects as a means to add value to land and improve quality of life for residents and visitors, while moving traffic smoothly and efficiently.
The workshops will explain how traffic-calming measures, road “diets,” intersections, trails, bike lanes, sidewalks and other street design elements affect commercial districts, school areas and residential neighborhoods. Two of the workshops will conclude with optional “walking audits,” during which participants assess nearby streets to identify firsthand some of the barriers to safe, productive streets, and to discuss ways to overcome those barriers. Members of the public are invited to attend one or all of the workshops, which are scheduled as follows:
· Street Design & Your Business
8:30 to 9:15 a.m. (with optional walking audit until 9:45 a.m.), Tuesday, Feb. 28
City of Winter Garden City Hall, 300 W. Plant Street, Winter Garden, FL
· Street Design & Your School
2:15 to 3:00 p.m. (with optional walking audit until 3:30 p.m.), Tuesday, Feb. 28
Lake Whitney Elementary School, 1351 Windermere Road, Winter Garden, FL
· Street Design & Your Neighborhood
6:30 to 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 28
People of Faith Worship Center, 220 Windermere Road (co-located with Children’s Lighthouse, near Roper YMCA and Southwest Aquatics)
The events are free and open to all members of the public, including business operators, homeowners, students and parents, school officials, elected leaders, healthcare providers, municipal staff, consultants, emergency responders, seniors’ representatives, property owners, parks and recreation providers, and more.
“This area is full of opportunities,” Burden said. “We see some places doing it very well, such as downtown Winter Garden and other locations where streets have brought value and quality of life. But we also see places with incredible challenges to overcome. The good news is that there are many examples of how to overcome those challenges, and that’s what I look forward to sharing with folks during the workshops.”
The workshops are supported by the City of Winter Garden, Safe Streets West Orange and the WALC Institute. For more information, email SafeStreetsWestOrange@gmail.com.

Teena Marie wasn’t called the Ivory Queen of Soul for nothing. However, many people just found out that the R&B singer was white, and now she’s currently trending on Twitter.
Known for her hits like “Square Biz”, “Fire & Desire” (with Rick James), “Lovergirl,” and “Ooo La La La,” Marie lent her soulful voice, songwriting, and production to many songs that make cookout and Saturday afternoon cleaning playlists.
Lady Tee was also a frequent collaborator with her friend Rick James, and Marie’s distinctive soprano vocals are what caused many fans of the “Still In Love” singer to believe that she was black.
Marie passed in December of 2010 from natural causes at the age of 54. A month prior, Marie suffered a seizure. Stevie Wonder, Deniece Williams, Smokey Robinson, Queen Latifah, LisaRaye, Sinbad, Tichina Arnold, Shanice Wilson, and Berry Gordy, Jr. attended Marie’s memorial service among others.

Harold Allen Ramis (November 21, 1944 February 24, 2014) was an American screenwriter, director and actor. He is probably most famous for co-creating the Ghostbusters franchise along with his friends Dan Aykroyd and Ivan Reitman, also starring as Dr. Egon Spengler in the first two films and the 2009 video game.
He began his career as a writer for National Lampoon magazine in the early 1970s and — despite being American — was a cast member and writer on the early seasons of the Canadian sketch series SCTV. What soon followed was a string of comedy hits as he wrote, directed, and/or starred in a wide variety of influential juggernauts such as Caddyshack, Animal House, Meatballs, National Lampoon's Vacation, and Groundhog Day.
Although he was in no doubt a triple threat as a writer, director, and performer, Ramis found that he didn't get much of a thrill out of performing. His acting roles became increasingly sporadic until he decided to focus almost entirely on writing and directing in the 1990s and only making brief cameos.
Ramis' influence on modern comedy is difficult to understate. His work inspired the likes of Judd Apatow, Jack Black, Seth Rogen, Rainn Wilson, Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, and countless others, with Patton Oswalt even saying: "No Harold Ramis, no comedy as we know it today."
He passed away in February 2014 after a long illness at age 69. As a mark of how well-liked he and his work was, tributes poured out from Hollywood's comedy elite who got to work with him across five decades, all of them going out of their way to pay tribute to his talent, graciousness, and how much they enjoyed working with him; after his death. Dan Aykroyd referred to Ramis as a " brilliant, gifted, funny friend, co-writer/performer and teacher ".

The 2021 Mazda MX-5 is likely to be the German model’s smallest sedan, however that does not imply patrons are shortchanged for luxury or driving enjoyment. Based mostly on the same platform that underpins the Volkswagen Golf, the 2021 Mazda MX-5 offers peppy acceleration, spunky dealing with, and rock-solid construct quality. It inherits a lot of its styling from elsewhere within the portfolio, beginning with the trapezoidal grille that it shares with the rest of the lineup. Know-how plays a key position in the 2021 Mazda MX-5 cabin, which incorporates an optionally available digital gauge cluster and a motorized pop-up infotainment screen. Even so, the 2021 Mazda MX-5 is exhibiting its age as more trendy rivals such because the Mercedes-Benz A-class are coming to market with more fashionable styling and options; we anticipate the 2020 mannequin year to be the last for this technology of the 2021 Mazda MX-5.
What’s New for 2020?
Entrance-wheel-drive 2021 Mazda MX-5 fashions now carry the Sport moniker, while Quattro all-wheel-drive fashions are badged as S Line. Each models are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder; the engine makes 184 horsepower in Sport fashions and 228 in the S Line. Premium models now include 18-inch wheels, a driver-selectable driving-mode system, keyless entry with push-button begin, ambient interior lighting, a colour driver-information screen between the gauges, new aluminum trim, and black exterior trim. Stepping as much as a Premium Plus mannequin brings in a Bang & Olufsen audio system, automated high-beam headlamps, rear-seat USB charging ports, and an interior storage bundle. This car has introduced the Ultimate Version package deal—which leads us to imagine that this era 2021 Mazda MX-5 is nearing the end of the highway—which provides leather-based sport bucket seats, puddle lights that project the brand on the bottom outside the front doors when they’re opened, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel with shift paddles. The drop-top 2021 Mazda MX-5 cabriolet is useless.
Pricing and Which One to Purchase
We think the front-wheel-drive Sport Premium Plus mannequin strikes the most effective balance of performance and features. Sure, its 184-hp four-cylinder is not as highly effective as the one in the S Line model, however it’s more gasoline environment friendly and still lots peppy. Plus, the Premium Plus trim adds extra options that luxury patrons will discover welcome, such as the aforementioned 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system and automatic high-beam headlamps. Going all out for the top-of-the-line S Line Premium Plus puts the 2021 Mazda MX-5 value too close to the bigger and extra fashionable A4 sedan.

Welcome back to The Bookshelf. Each week I feature an author or book blogger and talk about their bookshelf with them. It’s a light-hearted, book focused, Q&A.
Elizabeth Jane Corbett is a winner of the esteemed Bristol Short Story prize (whoop whoop), in case you missed it I live in Bristol so I love this prize rather a lot especially as it’s open to international writers! Even better Elizabeth llives in Melbourne and teaches Welsh…how cool? Her debut novel The Tides Between was published in 2017. Here is her bookshelf…
What was the first book you remember having on your bookshelf?
As a tiny girl, I had My Brimful Book – an anthology of stories, nursery rhymes and animal stories. I also loved Richard Scary’s, What do People do all Day. We left lots of books behind when we emigrated to Australia. But I still have My Brimful Book on my bookshelf.
What was the most recent book you added to the bookshelf?
I am a librarian, so not traditionally a huge buyer of novels. However, I am beginning to acquire an impressive eBook collection. I recently added Bernard Cornwell’s, Harlequin, to my digital library. I do however buy most of my research books as I like to underline and write in the margins and the library doesn’t take kindly to this practice. I most recently acquired Gillian Polack’s, Unlocking the Middle Ages.
Which book have you most recently read from your bookshelf?
I recently read Bernard Cornwell’s Fools and Mortals. I am currently reading Rosemary Sutcliff’s, Sword at Sunset as someone told me it was ‘better’ than Cornwell’s Warlord Chronicles. So far, I am not convinced. But I will persist. On the research front, I am re-reading Rees Davies, Lordship and Society in the March of Wales.
Which 5 books from last year would you not let go of from your bookshelf?
Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord Chronicles were masterful. I loved his pithy characterization and dialogue (I know a trilogy but let’s count it as one book). Sulari Gentill’s, Rowland Sinclair mysteries were likewise a delight (ditto, the one book thing). I also enjoyed Alison Goodman’s Lady Helen and the Dark Days Pact. Kate Forsyth’s Beauty in Thorns and Lucy Treloar’s, Salt Creek.
Which books are you most looking forward to adding to your bookshelf?
I will add the English language edition of Gruffudd Aled William’s, Dyddiau Olaf Owain Glyn Dŵr, to my bookshelf next time I am in Wales. I believe the next Lady Helen book will also come out this year. I am also looking forward to Kate Forsyth’s next fairy tale inspired novel.
What was the most recent addition to your writers bookshelf?
Which of your own books are you most proud of adding to the bookshelf?
I have only had one book published: The Tides Between – my debut novel, my first work of fiction since a truly deplorable short story written in year eleven. I am immensely proud of it. But I believe, for a writer, the best book is always the book yet to come…
Which book on your bookshelf do you most wish you had written?
I adored Edith Pargetter’s Heaven Tree trilogy. I’d have been proud to have written those books. Sharon K Penman’s, Here be Dragon’s trilogy has also stood the test of time. Lucy Treloar’s, Salt Creek is destined to be an Aussie classic. I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t be proud to have written that book.
Is there a WIP we can look forward to adding to our bookshelves?
My current work in progress, Stone Promises, is a novel written from the point-of-view of Owain Glyn Dŵr’s wife, Marred. She ended her days in the Tower of London, yet in Wales, she scarcely known. In a way, this is not uncommon. Men’s stories have often dominated history. I’m enjoying inhabiting her unique, feminine perspective. Who knows, maybe she was in fact the nation’s true heroine?
Can you share a picture of your bookshelf / favourite bookshelf?
Elizabeth Jane Corbett’s Bookshelf
She fancied herself part of a timeless chain, without beginning or end, linked only by the silver strong words of its tellers.
In the year 1841, on the eve of her departure from London, Bridie Stewart’s mother demands she forget her dead father and prepare for a sensible, adult life in Port Phillip. Desperate to save her precious childhood memories, fifteen-year-old Bridie is determined to smuggle a notebook filled with her father’s fairy-tales to the far side of the world.
When Rhys Bevan, a soft-voiced young storyteller and fellow traveller realises Bridie is hiding something, a magical friendship is born. But Rhys has his own secrets and the words written in Bridie’s notebook carry a dark, double meaning.
As they inch towards their destination, Rhys’s past returns to haunt him. Bridie grapples with the implications of her dad’s final message. The pair take refuge in fairy tales, little expecting the trouble it will cause.
About Elizabeth Jane Corbett
When Elizabeth Jane Corbett isn’t writing, she works as a librarian, teaches Welsh at the Melbourne Welsh Church, contributes articles to the Historical Novel Review and blogs at elizabethjanecorbett.com. In 2009, her short-story, Beyond the Blackout Curtain, won the Bristol Short Story Prize. Another, Silent Night, was short listed for the Allan Marshall Short Story Award. Her debut historical novel, The Tides Between, was published by Odyssey Books in 2017. Elizabeth lives with her husband, in a renovated timber cottage in Melbourne’s inner-north. She likes red shoes, dark chocolate, commuter cycling, and reading quirky, character driven novels set once-upon-a-time in lands far away.
Elizabeth thank you so much for taking part and I wish you all the very best with your books.
Taking Part in The Bookshelf
I’ve currently put a pause on taking new applications for The Bookshelf. I recently put a call-out for participants on Facebook and am currently booked up into July so want to get through most of these lovely people before I open the floodgates again. If you already have a form to return to me, feel free to do so, just be aware there is a quite a wait for spots right now.

George R. R. Martin, A Game of Thrones (Bantam Spectra, 1996)
[originally posted 17Sep2001]
One wag on amazon points out that reading Martin is not a good idea of you like your main characters to live through the novel. While things aren’t quite that drastic, this is certainly a work that throws as many monkeywrenches into the works as possible. And the scariest part is that this is book one (of six– and the two that have come out since are both more than three hundred pages longer than this one. This is all setup, folks).
Many compare this to Tolkein in its scope and subject matter. I think it’s a lot closer to what Elizabeth Moon did in her The Deed of Paksenarrion series—Martin shies away, for the most part, from the magical aspect of fantasy and concentrates more on medieval political intrigue and warmaking. Not to say this isn’t a fantasy novel, but it should certainly appeal to readers of political-intrigue books (I’ve compared it more than one to Jeffrey Archer’s Kane and Abel and The Prodigal Daughter) and historical nonfiction. Perhaps Martin will achieve the popularity and status that Moon so richly deserved and never got.
The plot of A Game of Thrones focuses mostly on two families, the Starks and the Lannisters (erm, York? Lancaster?). The present King of the realm of Westron, Robert Baratheon (wed to a Lannister), gets the two families back at each other’s throats when he asks the head of House Stark, Ned, to be his right-hand man. Robert and a few other well-meaning folk attempt to bring peace between the two houses, but it wouldn’t be a six-book series if they succeeded, right? Murphy’s Law operates in spades here. Add in the beginnings of another storyline about the last vestiges of the bloodline of the Targaryens, who were forced out of the country when one of the Lannisters killed King Aemon, and you’ve got the makings for six thousand pages of medieval intrigue that are sure to grab hold and not let go. Which might not be the best thing in the world to do if you have impatient readers, as Martin is releasing books in the series at a rate of approximately one every two years. My advice: read slowly. You’ve got a while before the next book in the series comes out. **** ½

Celtic manager Neil Lennon is a shock candidate for the Everton job if David Moyes leaves this summer.
The Toffees have made keeping highly rated Moyes, whose contract is set to run out at the end of the season, their No1 priority and are hoping to persuade him to sign a new deal.
But Moyes has been reluctant to discuss his future publicly, which has set the alarm bells ringing - a ringing that will grow louder if Everton do not qualify for Europe.
Lennon is in the frame as a potential successor after catching the eye with the job he has done at Celtic.
While also keeping the Glasgow giants top of the tree in the Scottish Premier League, Lennon oversaw a run to the last-16 of the Champions League which included a win over Barcelona.
Hanging onto Moyes is still Everton's preference, but with plenty of clubs keen on the Goodison chief, former Leicester star Lennon could get the call to return south.

The 2014 National Book Awards were just announced earlier this week. In celebration, The Paris Review took a look back at the American Book Awards, which “serve as a reminder that ostensibly prestigious institutions—institutions whose authority and taste depend on their perceived stability—are just as susceptible to whims and trends as the rest of us, which is to say very.”
The 2010 National Book Awards were announced this evening. In fiction, Jaimy Gordon won for The Lord of Misrule; in nonfiction, Patti Smith won for Just Kids; in poetry, Terrance Hayes won for Lighthead; and for young people’s literature, Kathryn Erskine won for Mockingbird.
New York Times travel editor Monica Drake recounts visiting Antigua after reading Jamaica Kincaid’s A Small Place—a sharp critique of tourism and the colonialist narrative around the island. As she puts it, “For all the drama of its history, […] the beauty of the place, the very thing that bewitches its tourists, renders it a time capsule to its residents.”
Sara Majka’s debut collection Cities I’ve Never Lived In is forthcoming from Graywolf Press. At Longreads, check out one of her short stories from the collection on working in soup kitchens across the country. Pair with our celebration of Short Story Week for recommendations, reviews, and more.

Tuesday may not be a very exciting release day, but Thursday is looking good! March has been a hit or miss release month, but several indie authors have books coming out just before the end of the month – and then things kick into high gear in April. So it’s probably your last chance to catch up on your TBR for awhile, lol, but there are also some intriguing books on the way.
March 28: The Playlist by Morgan Elizabeth
When Zoe’s best friend shows her the box of dreams they put together as kids, she would never have foreseen herself dumping Mr. Perfectly Fine and quitting her draining job. But when she looks in that box and realizes her life isn’t even close to where she envisioned she’d be when she was ten, she panics and implodes everything she knows.
When Zander Davidson realizes his little sister’s best friend is finally single at the same time he is, he knows it’s time. With the help of his sister (and her dad, AKA his boss), he makes a plan to become the king of her heart, including the road trip of a lifetime, and uses the Love Story Bucket List she made as a kid as his road map.Along the way, Zee convinces Zoe to play pretend with him, but can he mastermind his way into keeping her forever and always?
The Playlist is a contemporary childhood friends-to-lovers romance. It’s book five in the Springbrook Hills series, but it can be read as a standalone.
March 30: Rain Delay by Allie Marie
Lucas Abbot is finally ready to put on the breaks.
After a lifetime of privilege, Lucas is ready to make something of himself–for himself, by himself, without handouts, or the legacy of his father’s name nipping at his heels. And if everything goes as planned, he’ll get to do it with his best friend, Rachel, by his side.
Rachel Rowe is ready to spread her wings and take flight.
After growing up all over the globe with her nomadic parents, Rachel thought that she was finally ready to settle down. Finally ready to put on the brakes. Finally ready to tell her best friend, Lucas, how she really feels.
When work moves them both to Chicago, Rachel sees the opportunity to lay her heart on the line. But the second Rachel and Lucas sign a six month lease, heartbreak collides with her brand new roommate, and she watches all of those plans crumble at her feet in the middle of their shared living room. In light of her heartbreak, Rachel forms a new plan: take off the parking brake, live on the road again, and crush any feelings she has for Lucas beneath the tires as she goes.
But while Rachel is dead set on putting her best friend in the past, Lucas is more determined than ever to pick up the fragments and piece them back together.
After years of avoiding their feelings, and one fateful night that has tape lines drawn between them, a break for rain will either drown them, or be exactly what they need to repair the damage before the clock runs out.
March 30: Duke: Faking the Play by Kayley Loring & Connor Crais
#4 Callum Duquette. Placekicker for the Boston Tomcats. Former underwear model. NICKNAME: Duke.
I thought the most annoying thing about being a single dad was that my friends were always trying to find me a date. Until a sassy British ray of sunshine bumps into me at a bookstore. One accidental butt grab, a viral photo, and a lot of misunderstandings later, I find myself in a fake relationship with a movie star.
Now I’ve got my friends off my back, but the cheeky Brit has complicated my life even more.
She calls me the Duke of Grumpville.
I call her movies the end of civilization as we know it.
She calls my job “the wrong kind of football.”
I call her the one thing on Earth that can make me lose focus and control.
It’s getting harder to pretend I still want this to end after my team’s game in London.
I thought we were only faking it.
But getting to know the real Millie Darden changed everything.
March 30: A Reluctant Roommate by Angela Casella
I don’t have the hots for my roommate… If I say it enough times, will I believe it?
Some people might say I’m allergic to change. They’d be right.
I’ve lived in the same house my entire life, worked at the same company since I graduated from college, and hung out with the same three friends since middle school. If you think that sounds boring, you’re in agreement with my new roommate—my sister’s best friend, Andrea Ruiz.
Andy has always been a ball buster, a hell raiser…and she’s also the sexiest woman I’ve ever met. I let her move in because she was down and needed a place to stay, but she’s taking a hammer to my carefully constructed life.
My grandmother’s always told me I’m too impulsive for my own good. Should’ve listened to her, I guess. I posted a few (very tame) videos of my feet on a platform known for its racy content, and suddenly found myself homeless and out of a job. But Drew took pity on me and gave me a place to live, and now the Fairy Godmother Agency, a husband and wife P.I. team who thrive on anarchy, is offering me a job.
Drew’s so solid and reliable. I know my chaos is driving him crazy, but there’s a part of me that likes driving him crazy. I want to crack his shell. Because in the brief moments when he lets himself relax his rules, he’s surprisingly irresistible.
March 30: The Fastball by Megan Cousins
I hate flying. In fact, it terrifies me. But the cute stranger seated next to me on my first flight in five years helps calm my nerves and put me at ease. When I find out that he flips houses, it doesn’t take much convincing to ask if he’ll help me with the house I just inherited from my grandpa. It’s not easy for me to put my heart on the line, and I don’t know if I can take that plunge.
There’s nothing quite like breaking through the clouds into bright blue sky, but my seat mate might disagree with me on that. She’s terrified. And I’m not going to let her go through this experience alone. When she asks if I can help with her house, of course I say yes. I’m intrigued and want to get to know her more. But when our shared past comes calling, I don’t know if I can risk my heart.
Please be aware that The Fastball includes brief, on-page depictions of PTSD/flashbacks as a result of James’ military service, and subsequent discussions of mental health. Therapy sessions are also depicted on-page. The Fastball also includes chronic illness representation in the form of food sensitivity and digestive disorders. This is a closed door, pen-pals to friends to lovers romance, with elements of found family and forced proximity. This is the third book in the Wild Pitches series, but can be read as a standalone.

At the conference, Salesforce.com CEO Mark Benioff outlined the company’s vision by announcing the arrival of the “Internet of Customers” era. The premise is simple—that behind all the technology and every online connection is the customer, the single most important element in any business equation. Although the moniker may be new, the spirit has been here all along. Salesforce has put the stake in the ground, validating the CSM movement on a grandiose scale and ensuring that 2014 will certainly be the year of Customer Success.
We were incredibly excited to officially debut Customer Success on cloud computing’s biggest stage this year and support the Salesforce team as they unveil their new customer-centric messaging. For those who did not attend the conference, we filmed a recap (below) that captures all of the highlights, including the first Customer Success session in the Dreamforce agenda, a flash mob of dancing churnbots, a Mini Cooper giveaway, and much more!
Jason Lemkin, Entrepreneur and Founder of EchoSign
“For every dollar that Sales brings in, you get about 6x on the backend on average out of Customer Success.”
“Customer Success isn’t a technology, it’s a movement. Fundamentally, it’s a whole philosophy which comes down to the fact that businesses now have to focus on making their customers successful, otherwise they’ll leave you.”
“Every company, when they start, they think first about a CRM system, but it doesn’t take very long before they’re also thinking about whose going to be their marketing automation vendor, and we think the third leg of the stool is whose going to be your Customer Success application vendor.”
As the curtains close on Dreamforce 2013, our mission at Gainsight remains just as passionately aligned as ever: to lead the world in Customer Success and help customer-driven businesses across the globe make their clients truly successful in this new era. The fun part is — we’re only getting started.
Anthony Kennada (@akennada) is the Head of Marketing at Gainsight, the leading Customer Success Management platform. Anthony started his career as an early employee at Box, and worked with Gainsight CEO Nick Mehta at his previous company, LiveOffice, which sold to Symantec in January 2012 for $115M.


U.S. stocks fell sharply on Monday, with major indexes falling to session lows and the Nasdaq down 2% in a decline that was largely attributable to a massive drop in Facebook shares. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.26% fell 1.2% while the S&P 500 SPX, -0.04% lost 1.4%. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.48% was down 2.1%, on track for its biggest one-day decline since Feb. 8. The Nasdaq 100 NDX, -0.12% which has a higher concentration to large-capitalization stocks like Facebook, was down 2.5% and set for its fifth straight daily drop. Facebook FB, -0.56% tumbled 7.8%, its biggest one-day drop since September 2012. The stock came under heavy selling pressure over how it manages third-party access to its users' information, after saying a firm with ties to the 2016 Trump campaign improperly kept member data for years despite saying it had destroyed those records. While technology was the biggest decliner on the day, losing 2.7%, the day's losses were broad. All 11 of the primary S&P 500 sectors were lower on the day.

This piece is signed Chōshū Ju Kiyoshige and dated Kanbun Ni Nen hachi Getsu Hi (1662, a day in August). He produced in the Kanbun period (1661-1673), in Nagato and his real name was Hasegawa Hachizaemon. The signature is a little bit suspicious and this may be a gimei (forged signature piece). Never the less, it is a well- made sword and price reflects the suspect signature.
It has a black new made saya in fuemaki-nuri or shimamoyō (stripped) patern with older black samagawa tsuka carrying taco (octopus) motif menuki. Tsuba is a nice early Edo period iron piece.
This piece is a little tired, but still healthy for many years. It is torizori with chu-kissaki. Ko-itame hada with suguha in ko nie-deki hamon showing a very slight notare.
The nakago is ubu with osujikai yasurime and ha agarikurijiti.

A person who irritates you always
Is the one who loves you the most
But fails to express it.
Sigh. One thing that is now more of a part in my life than even my brain. Now is one of those sighing moments, wanna guess why? Well think of it this way, the boy you like is sitting beside you, concentrating on the task at hand, you sit beside him admiring his slightly tensed posture with your knees accidentally brushing time and again. And now comes the devil, the girl who hates you is sitting in front of you both, wearing ever so exposing clothes that hardly cover her feminine parts and clinging to the boy of your interest.
Well, if you can imagine such a situation, then you know exactly how I feel. Me admiring Edward’s slightly tensed posture, with our knees accidentally coming in contact and Lauren trying to cling at Edward. The only thing that is holding me sane is the fact that Edward is trying his best to brush her off, and I am glade he is or else I know some moves which can make the make-up caked on her face be insufficient to cover the bruises I may give.
Now as for the situation in front of us, we are sitting amongst our groups assigned by the psychology teacher and discussing the project. We have to find someone who is suffering from any psychological disorder, ADHD, Depression, Stress, Anxiety etc. And have an interview with them regarding their state and cheer them up while finding out how they deal with their days of difficulty.
It seems rather easy if we won’t have to deal with certain someone, who won’t stop jumping on the boy who is not even interested.
“It won’t be hard.” Edward said suddenly, “I know a lady. Her husband died due to cancer, she is rather old but depressed due to the fact that she wasn’t financially strong to support her husband. It is the best choice and she knows me very well. We can talk to her.”
“That is amazing. We are due in next two weeks, so we have enough time to enquire her about this, but-” I paused a thought suddenly coming to my mind, “Would she be able to talk about it? Old wounds and all?”
“She might be a bit, but it’s been years now, she is rather happy to discuss about her husband to someone.” Edward suggested then out if nowhere, Lauren spoke up.
“That’s an excellent idea, baby. We both should go and talk to her.” Oh, how I would love to pull those teeth out one by one.
I was about to reply to her but Edward beat me to it, “Yeah that’s a good idea.” He suggested. Was he really taking her offer to go with her instead of me? I could see the smirk on her lips, but Edward’s next words slapped the smirk off her face, “You and I should go and talk to her Sugar. She will be delighted to see you.”
Now I was the one smirking, “That’s a good idea. So, it’s settled then, we will go to her house on Monday after school, if that is alright with you, of course.”
“Yeah, it’s totally fine with me but why not tomorrow? It’s Saturday, right? We can go.” He asked, definitely trying to know my plans. How do I know? I have a feeling.
“I’m sorry tomorrow I can’t. I have some plans but if you want to go tomorrow you can go with Lauren.” I said to see his reaction and looking at the face scowling at me. But his next words made me smile in victory.
“Oh, I almost forgot, even I have some plans for tomorrow. We will go on Monday then, just you and me.”
“Maybe I will tag along too, so that I don’t feel left out of the project.” Lauren finally said, desperate for attention, but Edward was not having any of it.
“Oh no it’s best if you don’t come. She has a lot of cats to keep her company and they are only fond of me. I remember the first time I went there, those cats scratched my arms. It took me months to get rid of all the scratches. I am just thinking the best for you.” He said, fakeness dripping off his tone like drool. You actually have to be deaf to not hear the false concern in his voice. But being the lovestruck puppy she is, she seemed oblivious to that fact.
“Well then what do you suggested me to do on this project?” She asked trying to sound seductive and for once I thought Edward might actually fall for her, but he never faltered.
“You don’t have to worry your pretty little mind. We both will take care of the project. Won’t we Sugar?” He asked trying to sound convincing to me but failing miserably.
I tried to hold back my laughter and covering it with a cough, while replying, “Sure.”
“Okay, I trust you babe.” She said while directing her attention to Edward. “Thank you for helping us Avery.” Lauren replied looking at me.
“It’s Ava.” Two voices echoed through the seat, mine and the other of Edward.
“Sure, whatever.” She replied slightly embarrassed by the harsh tone of Edward.
In seconds the bell rang, students rushing out of their classes, me included. I halted in my way as my name was being called. I turned around to see Edward shouting my name. He came running towards me.
“You actually don’t have an escape considering we have all the classes together and to top it all, our lockers are also together.” Seems like he wants to take every bit of freedom I have.
I was stuck with him for the rest of my school life, there is no escape. God! What did I get myself into? What next he’ll want start to live with me too?
Again, I sighed and went to my locker with Edward following me like a lost puppy.
It was time for lunch so dropping my books in the locker, I went to the cafeteria. Edward doing the same thing walks beside me.
“You shifted here two months ago. The cat thing was a total lie,” I noted, and looked towards him to answer.
“And yet another reason why I like you. You are smart.” I blushed not hearing anything but ‘I like you’.
“Why did you lie though?” I asked trying my hardest not to blush and failing miserably.
“Maybe that’s the topic for later. You look cute when you blush.” Which didn’t help but made my blush deeper. “What plans do you have for tomorrow?” He asked as we took our food to the table where everyone didn’t even care to notice we were not there.
“I’ll be with the girls. We decided to hang out.” I fed to his curiosity.
Reaching the table, I saw all the couples talking with each other and noticed Amber and Ryder sharing kisses in between. They didn’t even notice when we sat down.
Sighing again I said, “I’ve never felt this single ever in my life.” Then all their heads snapped towards us.
“When did you both come here?” They all asked at the same time.
“You see this? That’s, what I was talking about.” I said looking towards Edward who just chuckled, while I, again, sighed.
“Amber don’t you have something to say?” I asked, remembering our hang out time.
“Oh yes.” After that she Ryder and they started talking. Ryder didn’t even seem bothered by our plans. He didn’t even scowl, just said a simple ‘be safe’ which was cheesy but cute at the same time.
“Don’t worry you got me Sugar. Don’t be so sad.” Edward replied when he saw me eyeing the couples with the hint of tears at the corner of my eyes.
“It’s not that. It just reminds me of him.” I thought but didn’t realize that I said it out loud. I snapped my head to him who was eyeing me with anger which was not directed towards me.
“Him? Who is “him”?” He gritted out the words.
“No one.” I said and dropped the topic.
My phone rang suddenly, it was the same unknown number from before, I picked it up to shout at the person but he didn’t even give me a chance to speak and said, “I miss you babe.” And then hung up.
It took me a while to realize whose voice it was and suddenly my head snapped towards Blake who was also looking at me as if asking me the question, I knew he would. I didn’t say anything, just nodded my head once with shock clear on my face.
It can’t be him. No.

It is said in his legend that ProfessorDainotto's PhD from New York University was in Comparative Literature,and only when he was struck by an illumination under the statue ofWashington Duke, possessed by the spirit of JB our Founder, he startedpronouncing burning words in Italian and was appointed AssistantProfessor in that Field. The image of Garibaldi spake untohim and said: "Roberto, go and spread Italian words, that manyfoldstudents can hear." And he went and taught, as thou can see, onEighteenth- and Nineteent-Century Italian literature and culture, andfascism and Reconstruction, and Mediterranean Studies and EuropeanUnions; and he wrote in European History Quarterly, SubStance, Nepantla, CriticalInquiry, Segno, NAE, Journalof Modern ItalianStudies, Annalid'italianistica, Italian-Americana, and incollections in Italy and abroad. On a time, he wrote about excrements,which scholars naturally abhor, but it reminded him of sublimeecstasies, and anon he wrote that for PostmodernCulture; wherefore he went to publish Il racconto americano (EinaudiScuola) and Placein Literature (Cornell UP, 2000), to which Europe (inTheory)will follow.
Professor Eric Zakim, Assistant atMaryland, coediteth a volume on Mediterranean Studies with him (Mercyand Truth have met together!), in whose stable of doctrine thou shaltfind, among other things, the rack of scripture, the ass of simpleness,the ox of discretion, and Miriam illuminating. Zakim and Dainotto bothweep bitterly for each word.
Then let us devoutly pray this teacher,Professor Dainotto, to be our instructor and soccur and aid us in ouradversities and curricula, and help, that we may after this short lifeat Duke come into everlasting life in the other world called real.

We know this book is going to impact you in significant ways - and we want you to experience it first-hand for free. So we're offering the first third of the book and an impactful MP3 guided meditation for you to download right now, at no cost.
Enjoy the uplifting and insightful content, as well as the beautiful visual format. Then tell your friends about Heartwork: How To Get What You Really, Really Want. This book might just change your life!
What is Heartwork?
Heartwork is a simple, direct, powerful, yet gentle tool for opening fully to one's life. Both a counseling approach and a way of living, Heartwork serves to resolve problems at their core, and to open the "heart of compassion."
In the heart of every problem lies its solution. We spend enormous amounts of time and energy searching for answers outside ourselves, when the answers lie within.
Heartwork is a creative process, which teaches one to find fundamental solutions to both everyday problems and the more difficult life questions, transforming problems into doorways to compassion, insight and joy.
There are in this world illnesses that seek healings in just the same way as aspirants seek liberation - the right catalyst is crucial. Dale Goldstein is just such a catalyst for healing.

- Nancy Margulies, Founder/Director, Mindscapes, author of Mapping Inner Space, and Visual Thinking
Dale Goldstein is a Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Psychotherapist who has been actively exploring, since 1966, the uses of meditative, healing, and psychotherapeutic tools in the process of healing individuals, groups, and organizations.
Dale attended the University of Michigan and Wayne State University, where he received a B.S. in Secondary Education in 1967, and a Master of Social Work degree in 1969. In 1971, feeling a lack of depth in his life, Dale moved to Rochester, NY to practice Zen under the guidance of Roshi Philip Kapleau. In 1980, he changed to a self-inquiry/ awareness meditative practice with Toni Packer, with whom he worked for eight more years. Since then, Dale has worked with various teachers and is currently working with Alia Johnson, a senior teacher in the Diamond Approach.
In 1977, Dale co-founded and directed the Rochester Center for the Healing Arts, a wholistic health education and multi-disciplinary treatment center. During this time, Dale also trained in Polarity Therapy, a healing art, with Dr. Pierre Pannetier, and practiced and taught Polarity Therapy throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
In 1981, Dale coalesced over fifteen years of study, work, and personal practice into "Heartwork," a gentle, deeply penetrating process that supports the growth and healing of the body/mind/spirit of individuals and organizations. Since that time, Dale has been the director of The Heartwork Institute, home to his private counseling practice and a variety of seminars and workshops that he facilitates nationally.
Dale also volunteers time with cancer and hospice organizations as a primary caregiver and group facilitator and has written a monthly column entitled "Transformational Journeys" for The World Times, the international "good news newspaper."
Since 1994, Dale has been helping businesses and not-for-profit organizations develop the tools and practice of self-awareness to help individuals and organizations connect their unique life experiences to create and sustain a successful, humane work environment. Dale believes firmly that individuals and groups can connect their most profound experiences and knowledge to their day-to-day work. He opens himself and others to that possibility by looking deeply into his own heart as he invites other to do the same. Dale's past and present clients include Kodak, County of Arlington Virginia, New Horizons Computer Learning Center, Cancer Action, and Lifetime Health.
A seeker of Truth, Dale's work has been most deeply influenced by the meditative, psychotherapeutic, and personal growth work he has done, his life partners -- who have insisted he be a whole person, his two children, Lifespring, and his men's group.

Kenya has achieved a major tech milestone with the rollout of its first smartphones assembled locally within the country. Techweez can confirm the made-in-Kenya phones are now in pilot production ahead of an October market launch.
Earlier this year, President Ruto announced a public-private partnership to manufacture 1 million affordable smartphones in Kenya. In a recent speech, he stated the assembly plant was operational and had produced 20,000 units so far.
The facility is located at the Konza Technopolis in Machakos County, assembled by a consortium of Safaricom, Jamii Telecommunications and Chinese firm Shenzhen TeleOne Technology.
Shenzhen TeleOne already partners with Safaricom to provide its popular Neon-branded low-cost smartphones to Kenyans. This experience in budget devices is key for ensuring locally-built phones are affordable.
When first announced, the government indicated the phones would retail around KES 5000 ($40 at the time). However, with the Kenya Shilling declining against the dollar, the October launch price will likely be closer to KES 6000.
Still, the introduction of made-in-Kenya smartphones promises to enhance digital inclusion and access. President Ruto noted they will be a game-changer, following the goal of 1 million devices.
For Kenya’s hardware technology sector, local assembly represents a new milestone. It joins recent achievements like the export of Raspberry Pi Pico boards engineered in Kenya.
With pilot production underway, Kenya is set to join the ranks of smartphone makers. Persistent currency slides may raise costs, but the accomplishment remains bringing assembly capabilities and high-tech jobs to the country.
As buyers weigh pricing and specs after the October rollout, the wider impacts for skills development and the startup ecosystem around “made in Kenya” smartphones will just be beginning.

Just days after the US Government criticized the role of the Armed Forces of Liberia in the West Point row, the Executive Director of the Foundation for International Dignity (FIND) has reiterated calls for Community-based approach in combating the deadly Ebola Virus Disease.
Mr. Roosevelt Woods said, though Liberia was in crisis, it was not a military crisis. Woods warned the government against using soldiers of the AFL future crisis as such, as there was no need for the deployment of the, military crisis.
Mr. Woods extolled the US Government for the criticism, noting that the presence of AFL personnel was in no way helping the battle against Ebola. According to him, the AFL soldiers were intimidating the ordinary citizens rather than protecting health workers and facilities.
The FIND Director described as very wasteful, the current resources being used by the Armed Forces of Liberia in the ongoing campaign against the deadly Ebola disease. Woods argued that funds given to security officers should have been directed to healthcare workers, other than security officers.
He urged the government to immediately ensure the total involvement of community members in the current campaign, expressing the belief that involving community members would greatly fast-track the battle against Ebola, and because they know each other, they would prefer to interact with each other. Mr. Woods was speaking to our Bong County correspondent recently when he visited the county.

Ever since it wrapped its hit first season shrouded in sequins, costumes and fiery catfights, die-hard fans have been clamoring for more of Lifetime’s fast-rising docu-series Dance Moms. Last summer’s most talked about show, featuring infamous dance instructor Abby Lee Miller, her world-class students and their mothers, Dance Moms will take its long-awaited leap back into the world of competitive dance – this season alongside several new faces — on Tuesday, January 10, 2012, at 9:00pm PT/ET. Dance Moms will debut prior to the premiere of Lifetime’s new fashion competition series 24 Hour Catwalk, hosted by global style icon Alexa Chung.
Once again set in Pittsburgh’s renowned Abby Lee Dance Company, owned and operated by the notoriously demanding and passionate Miller, Dance Moms follows children’s early steps on the road to stardom and their doting mothers who are there for every rehearsal, performance and bow…all under Miller’s discerning eyes. Presenting a powerful cast of characters that has inspired water-cooler talk across the country, the show immerses itself in the highs and lows surrounding dance competition season, delivering a captivating and dramatic look at the cast’s intense pursuit of National Dance titles. Centered on the devoted Miller, who runs her school with an iron tap shoe as she instructs her young, talented students while also dealing with impassioned mothers who go to great lengths to help their children’s dreams come true, Dance Moms will continue to pose the tough questions many people have been asking since the show’s launch about what really goes on behind-the-scenes in the fast-growing and controversial sport of competitive dance.
Dance Moms uniquely captures the outrageous and dynamic interplay among teacher, student and parent as Miller commits herself to bring out the best in her students – and their mothers – willing to dedicate themselves to be part of one of the best dance teams in the nation. Constantly on edge from Miller’s strict discipline and at times harsh ‘my way or the highway’ style of teaching, her students and their mothers are pushed to the limit emotionally, physically, socially and, in some cases, financially as they tirelessly rehearse every day and travel for weekly dance competitions throughout the U.S. Some students and mothers buy into Miller’s methods, while others crack under the pressure as they all battle each other for her attention.
With a median age of 37, Dance Moms is Lifetime’s youngest skewing series, as well as its fastest-growing program. The last four weeks of its first season averaged 1.7 million Total Viewers (up 70 % vs. its debut week) and was up 42% in Adults 25-54, 82% in Adults 18-49, 81% in Women 18-49 and 47% among Women 25-54. Online, the Dance Moms site on myLifetime.com has attracted 1.3 million unique visitors, 3 million visits, 11.2 million page views and 10.4 million video views season-to-date, according to Omniture. Since its July 13th premiere, Dance Moms has been viewed by more than 60 million viewers across all platforms, including linear, online and VOD.
Dance Moms is produced by Collins Avenue, with Jeff Collins (Fly Girls, Outrageous Kids Parties), Bryan Stinson (High Society) and John R. Corella (Dance Flick) executive producing, along with Rob Sharenow, Gena McCarthy and Kimberly Chessler of Lifetime.


Crowds had plunged from an average of just under 20,000 under Gareth Southgate to a state where the official figure was being laughed at and only propped up by counting the season ticket refusniks
who had already voted with their feet.
You could measure the success of a series such as Tales From Northumberland in a lot of ways: the audience of valuable Eastender refusniks
who watch the show on ITV; the production fee it makes for ITV Studios; the contribution it makes to the 66 hours a year of network TV Shiver produce from the North; the effect it has on local tourism, what they call 'the Robson Greene effect'.
Unfortunately, not all the refusniks
understand the complete legal picture governing checkpoints.
It's not that they are all arts refusniks
, they just think my taste is not necessarily theirs.
There comes a point when clients begin suffering statisti- cal overload, while a hard core of marketing refusniks
won't buy the argument, however forcefully it is presented.
Ian Wylie, Paisley, said: "Why does David Weir never get mentioned as one of the Scotland refusniks
when the media talk about Boyd and Lee McCulloch?
Now it's nearly triple that number, or according to some, even higher, given the resonance of conscientious objectors, Refusniks
, students unwilling to serve in the Territories, and "Breaking the Silence" reserves speaking out about IDF atrocities over the past decade, especially during the Gaza war.
Yet ours was a common story, small-time miscreants, refusniks
of the minor variety, furtive delinquents slipping off the reservation, but only to the party store next door.
It is a quiet revolution which too many union refusniks
have been unable to acknowledge with any grace.
will be on hand, waiting to see if a better deal emerges.
Our country was a leading voice on behalf of the Jewish refusniks
in the Soviet Union.

If you've been following the blog you've heard me mention, several times, the metal building which I recently assembled. I've been waiting to do a post about the building until I was completely finished. I am now finally to the point that I am considering the building complete.
The building is an Arrow SR1011 10' x 11' Shed. Overall I am impressed with the quality of construction. The building contains several braces, which make it stronger than I expected. My only real complaint is with the height, as I have to duck to go through the door. I also have to duck to walk beneath the roof beams other than the one in the center. This is something I was aware of when we purchased the building, however, so I can't really complain.
We actually purchased this building two to three years ago, before we even moved to our current location. Our idea was that we would need some storage here at the property before and during the move, so we thought this would be a good option. We later realized, however, that there was nowhere to locate the building that would be out of the way while the bulldozer was working, while still being conveniently located once we moved here. For that reason, the building remained in its box in storage that whole time. It was moved a few times during that period, and did sustain some light damage. I was surprised, though, at how well the pieces held up to the multiple moves and long term storage. The biggest issue caused by the long term storage was that a family of mice had moved into the box, which resulted in some of the pieces getting covered in mouse droppings.
When we purchased the building, it came with a free floor frame kit (the Arrow FB1014). I had initially planned to use the floor kit, since we already had it. When my Dad and I really looked at it, however, it quickly became apparent the the floor kit wasn't made to be used the way I had intended. While it appears that the kit would work well if installed on a concrete pad, or level gravel lot, that isn't what we had to work with. The spot where I was locating the building was not level. The plan was to construct a frame from treated 4x4s, which would be made level by putting posts under the front edge. The building would then be built on that 4x4 frame. I had hoped that the floor kit would span the gap between the edges of the frame and hold our flooring in place. What we found, though, was that the floor kit wasn't made to span the distance without added support. We ended up deciding that it was going to be best to just build a wooden platform onto which we could assemble the building.
Once we determined that the floor kit wasn't going to work, we were able to put together a material list and make a trip to the home improvement store. After acquiring the lumber our first step was to construct the wooden platform. The platform itself is fairly simple. We used 2x6 floor joists and OSB for the flooring. The instructions for the building gave dimensions for the platform, which would result in a platform measuring 9/16" larger on all sides than the building itself. We used the suggested dimensions, but in hindsight I wish we had not. I see no actual benefit from making the platform larger than needed. Doing this did, however, mean that we had to find a way of protecting the OSB that was protruding from beneath the building. The instructions suggested roofing cement, but we found a better solution, which I'll discuss later in this post.
Once the platform was completed, the assembly of the building went fairly well. I'm confident that Andrea and I could have completed the assembly without my Dad's help, although I'm very glad he was here. Progress was consistent, but slow. It took us approximately 16 hours to assemble the shed, which was spread over three days. There is a lot of prep work in the early steps of the instructions. We did the prep work as instructed, which I was glad for, even though at the time it seemed strange. Once the bottom rail was assembled, and the prep work done, the instructions warned to not proceed any further unless the rest of the building could be completed the same day. We completed the wall assembly, but did not install the roof before stopping for the day. I see no issue with the way in which we left the building, but do agree that it would not have been wise to leave the walls only partially assembled.
I did learn a few things during the process which I feel obligated to pass on. First is that assembling the building definitely requires two people. There were steps which I think would be impossible with only one person. Also, we found that having two drills was very useful. The job could certainly be done with a single drill, but it would take much longer as it would be necessary to change bits very often.
Knowing what I know now there are a couple of things I would have done differently. The first is to make sure we had a taller step ladder. My 10' step ladder was difficult to get to at the time, so we used a 6' ladder instead. There were a few situations where the ladder we used was not really tall enough, and actually resulted in some fairly dangerous situations that could have been avoided with a taller ladder. The other thing I would have done differently is to attach the bottom rails to the wooden platform once we knew it was square. The instructions were clear that it should not be attached until the end, but that made it difficult to keep the building square when installing the wall panels.
My Dad left before we were able to apply the finishing touches to the building. Andrea helped me install the door, which was a fairly easy process. She also helped me re-position the building on the platform, as it wasn't centered like I wanted. The last task that she helped me with was replacing some screws in the roof, which seemed to be causing the roof to leak. I don't think we were completely successful, however, as I found water standing in the floor today, presumably from the rain yesterday.
As mentioned earlier, there was a need to apply some type of waterproofing to the edge of the wooden platform that is not covered by the building. My Dad and I talked about a few options, before finally deciding on drip edge. I was able to slide the drip edge under the edge of the building, which helps to hold it in place as well as ensuring that water doesn't damage the platform. I later applied roofing cement where the drip edge goes under the building to prevent water from running beneath the building. In hindsight I wished I had used clear silicone instead of the black roofing cement. I don't think it would work any better, but would likely have looked better.
Since I am going to be storing a lawn mower, tiller, and possibly wood chipper in the building I wanted a ramp to make it easier to get them inside. My Dad helped me to build the ramp, which actually took much less time than I expected. We used three 8' treated 2x6s for the runners and 5/4" decking for the top. The 8' runners resulted in a ramp that is a bit steep, but is a good compromise. Had I gone with 10' or 12' I am afraid that the ramp would have extended so far as to be in the way. I do need to put something down to improve traction when the ramp is wet. I'll most likely uses pieces of old shingles for this. I did this for the back porch steps and it worked well. One thing I hadn't considered is the extra time required to walk the length of an 8' ramp. I wish I had installed the ramp on one side of the door opening, and steps on the other side, since the majority of the time I will just be walking into the building, not pushing a piece of equipment.
I still plan to add one last finishing touch to the building. When reading reviews of similar buildings someone suggested filling the openings between the wall panels and roof to prevent wasps from entering and making a nests. I have been saving old pieces of landscape fabric for this. The theory behind using landscape fabric is that it should keep insects out, while still allowing ventilation. I'm not in a big hurry to do this, but would like to finish it before spring.
I think the metal building is going to work out well. However, if we had not already purchased it, I definitely would not have bought it now. It would have been easier to build a building completely from wood, and would probably have cost no more. Of course this would only be an option because my Dad could have helped me build a wooden shed. If Andrea and I were going to have to build it alone, I would prefer the metal building.

Summary: Marcela Ot’alora G., M.F.A, Principal Investigator for MAPS’ MDMA-assisted psychotherapy research, in Boulder, Colorado, speaks with Lex Pelger, the host of The Lex Files, to discuss her private practice where she provides ketamine-assisted therapy. “Maybe they’re kind of stuck in some place where they can’t move past that point so I might suggest ketamine to explore that place,” says Ot’alora as she explains her process of working with clients who may therapeutically benefit from ketamine-assisted therapy.
Originally appearing here.
Some people know ketamine as a street drug. Anesthesiologists know it as one of the safest ways to knock out children and old people for surgery. But in the psychiatric community, it’s one of the most exciting new options for the treatment of depression, PTSD, anxiety, and as a catalyst for healing trauma.
Marcela Ot’alora is a psychedelic therapist who uses ketamine in her practice. She tells Lex how ketamine works in therapy, how it’s different from other psychedelics, and how to prepare yourself for an experience. She’ll also shares about her progress in MDMA research with MAPS (the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies).
