Public Rights of Way in Cheshire East
Covid-19 and Public Rights of Way
COVID-19 information for users of public rights of way
Public rights of way provide an opportunity for people to take exercise and get some fresh air in these difficult times. The government reports that the risk of the coronavirus being passed on to others from people using public rights of way and other paths and trails is considered to be very low as long as people follow the government's instructions to maintain social distancing.
However, use of paths is high and people live and work in close proximity to many of our public rights of way - many users and landowners will be especially concerned and vulnerable at this difficult time. Please follow the national government advice on accessing green spaces safely:
follow the government guidance on social distancing. Natural England have asked users to, if possible, try to avoid using footpaths etc. that may take you through a farmstead or other rural business where social distancing may be difficult.
be sensible, courteous and considerate when using public rights of way at this time, as at all times. Respect other people and protect the natural environment. Remember your actions can affect people's lives and livelihoods. Take the time to read signage. Respect the measures that may have been put in place.
follow the Countryside Code (PDF, 911KB): leave gates as you find them and keep dogs under close control at all times - Defra advise that you should keep your dog on a lead near livestock and away from other people/dogs, Defra have posted a video containing advice for users. Leave no trace of your visit and take all of your litter home. Do not use barbecues as they risk causing wildfires. Wildlife may have moved into areas where it hasn't previously been found, including nesting birds. Land managers may have taken action to provide extra protection of wildlife. Be vigilant and comply with these protective measures to ensure you do not disrupt the local wildlife.
when using gates and stiles be mindful that other people pass through these and that landowners may need to use them multiple times a day. Wash your hands and or sanitise as soon as possible after touching shared surfaces.
keep to the definitive line of the path or use an alternative route if provided by the landowner.
before travelling, you should check if facilities, such as car parks, are open to visitors. Park considerately.
the government has published advice on how to stop the spread of coronavirus (Covid-19)
COVID-19 information for landowners and property owners
We manage the public rights of way network in line with national government legislation and guidance and at present there is no advice or requirement for the public rights of way network to be closed or restricted in any way. The government reports that the risk of the coronavirus being passed on to others from people using public rights of way and other paths and trails is considered to be very low as long as people follow the government's instructions to maintain social distancing.
People living and working in close proximity to public rights of way are reminded that the public have a legal right to use a public right of way, and that they should not block or obstruct paths. Where residents living near public rights of way have concerns then they should exercise suitable precautions to ensure social distancing from people on the path and may wish to consider putting up signage warning people. They may want to regularly clean any gate latches or other surfaces on any paths across their property, or landowners may wish to consider tying gates open if it is safe to do so, so that users of the path do not need to touch the gate.
Landowners may, in very limited circumstances where large numbers of people are using routes, consider:
informing the public using the public right of way of their responsibilities, by displaying an appropriate notice. This should not discourage use but alert users to their proximity to homes and working environments and to use appropriate and reasonable caution in terms of social distancing and hygiene practices. Download a poster which can be displayed for public rights of way where there is no alternative route: PROW COVID-19 notice no alternative route (PDF, 165KB)
if suitable, installing a permissive path through which you can invite users to use an alternative route. However, the definitive alignment of the public right of way must remain open and available at all times, and any permissive path is arranged under your own liabilities and insurance cover and must have agreement from all landowners. You would be advised to waymark any permissive path as such and the public rights of way team can provide further advice on this. Download a poster which can be displayed for public rights of way where there is a safe alternative route: PROW COVID-19 notice alternative route (PDF, 107KB)
temporarily displaying polite notices that encourage users to respect local residents and workers by considering using alternative routes that do not pass through gardens, farmyards or schools.
Public rights of way provide an opportunity for people to take exercise and get some fresh air in these difficult times. However, people should not congregate on public rights of way. If there is a particular problem with large numbers of people congregating on a right of way then the Police should be informed who have powers to disperse such groups.
If meeting an Officer of the Council on site, landowners are reminded of the need to maintain social distancing at all times. Conversations will be held by phone and email as a preference. Any face to face discussions shall not contravene social distancing and an Officer may withdraw from a discussion if social distancing is not adhered to.
The Council will respond to any further actions necessary in the event of any changes to legislation or Government guidance but at this time there are no provisions to close public rights of way.

Looking toward fall, we're closing the windows more often and putting down the weather stripping. Among the other emotions that come with preparing for the colder seasons, what you don't want to be experiencing is the negative effects from VOCs lurking in your home as you're sealing it up tight to keep out the cold.
We're making the effort to make our homes more energy efficient and to save on our heating and cooling bills. However, this can sometimes have some unintended consequences. We're talking VOCs: Volatile Organic Compounds, and not only can they damage your home's indoor air quality, they can make you and your family sick.
In addition to carpets and cleaning products, VOCs can come from new beds. Mattresses can be big contributors to decline in indoor air quality as most are treated with chemical fire retardants. Good for your bed's chances of surviving a blaze, not so good for your lungs. Carpets are big culprits for similar reasons, fibers trap and store chemicals, and synthetic carpet pads can off-gas harmful chemicals, mainly polybrominated diphenylethers, (PBDEs) that can cause illness and respiratory problems like asthma in high concentrations. Eeek. New furniture can also add to the problem for the same reasons.
Another big contributor? Paint. We all know it smells, and there's a reason. Traditional paint is packed full of VOCs whose effects can linger long after the paint has dried.
Step 1: Replace all vinyl shower liners in favor of non-toxic nylon ones. Your vinyl liner releases chemicals (toluene and methylene chloride to name a few) that can cause allergic reactions.
Step 3: Stop chemically cleaning carpets and furniture- look for organic cleaning solutions that don't use harsh, highly concentrated chemicals. Try to ditch home chemical cleaners entirely in favor of more organic options like vinegar, baking soda, etc.
Step 4: Stop dry cleaning. Not only is it expensive, but evidence suggests that the chemicals used in the process are carcinogenic and can accumulate in your home whenever you bring your comforters, bedspreads, drapes, rugs and clothes back from the cleaners.
Step 5: Cut down on carpet. If you've got the option, switch it out for hardwood or tile flooring options that don't require chemical rich mats or stain treatments. If you can't kick your carpet habit, clean it thoroughly with an organic cleaner and air out extensively afterwards. You can also opt for organic fiber rugs to keep the soft under your feet.
Step 6: Invest in solid wood furniture. Believe it or not, manufactured and pressed wood products can off-gas chemicals like formaldehyde over time as well, leading to decline in your home's environment. Make sure you air out rooms where you've got a lot of particle board products frequently, and if you've just bought a similar product, set up a fan to vent fumes out of your home.

San Francisco neighbors erect boulders to keep the homeless away
Posted 8:04 PM, September 25, 2019, by CNN Wire
A group of San Francisco neighbors came up with their own solution after they said the city wouldn't help them with the local homeless and drug dealer population, according to CNN affiliate KGO: They put boulders on the sidewalks.
The group has been going to city meetings and filing reports with the city for six months, according to KGO, but they haven't had any luck.
After a turf war one night, one of the residents told KGO the neighbors had had enough.
"It got to the point where everybody was just done," the person told KGO. "People had knives and guns and people were out fighting, carrying on and waking up people in the neighborhood."
Asking not to be identified, that resident told KGO a group of neighbors pitched in to buy 24 boulders that are now placed on their sidewalk to discourage the homeless from pitching tents.
It's well known that housing costs in the Bay Area are significantly higher than most cities in the United States, and the homeless population in the city is growing fast, according to a recent study by Zillow.
Last Wednesday, President Donald Trump escalated his political fight with California by threatening to have the Environmental Protection Agency pursue action against San Francisco for its homelessness problem.
"It's a terrible situation that's in Los Angeles and in San Francisco," Trump said aboard Air Force One, according to a pool report. "And we're going to be giving San Francisco — they're in total violation — we're going to be giving them a notice very soon."
Through Facebook, the neighbors organized and raised more than $2,000 for the boulders, according to KGO.
"I don't know if it's a long-term solution, but at least in the short term, they seems to be working in keeping the tents off the sidewalk," Lisa McEachron, who works in the area, told CNN.
Another neighbor who did not want to be identified told CNN they like the boulders.
"They really need to be there," the neighbor said. "They have helped."
Danielle, who said she wasn't comfortable sharing her last name, lives a few blocks away and walks the area daily. She told CNN she thinks the neighbors could have focused their efforts on fighting for housing or on calls to city officials.
"I know the reality of homelessness and moving people from one sidewalk to another doesn't solve it," she said. "It's as if the people who are for them have the attitude, 'We want to be privileged' not to deal with problem."
The City of San Francisco doesn't plan on removing the boulders. In fact, city spokeswoman Rachel Gordon told CNN officials are looking for ways to sanction them so they can remain in place.
CNN reached out to San Francisco's Coalition for Homelessness but has not heard back.

Former Fulham star has 'unfinished business' with Chesham
Hayles wants to show what he can do after spurning cub three years ago
Barry Hayles insists he has unfinished business at Chesham United – having finally signed three years after rejecting their advances.
The former Fulham striker, who has more than 100 Premier League and Football League goals to his name, first pulled on a Chesham kit as a trialist in 2012, having drifted into non-league football with Truro City two years previously.
However, he instead signed for Chesham's Southern Premier rivals, St Albans, as his good friend David Howell, was manager at Clarence Park.
But last month, via two more spells at Truro, plus a brief stay at Arlesey Town, Hayles finally signed on the dotted line for Chesham as the club's new player-coach.
He said: "Me and the manager at St Albans went way back. He said I needed to come and play for him and that was it. Andy Leese (Chesham manager) understood, but I feel like I have unfinished business here, and I'm looking forward to it.
"I've played in the Southern League for the past four years, so definitely know what it's all about, and I feel I know what Chesham are all about from playing against them.
"They have always been a good passing side who create chances, and last season they did the double over us (Truro), which not many teams did.
"I know the squad had a big shake up, but I hope to bring a lot of experience to the side. Sometimes you need an older head to tell the younger players what to do and feed them the right ideas.
"I've enjoyed doing bits and pieces of coaching but I'm looking for permanent role where I can help develop players, and I've heard good things about what they do at Chesham."
Another familiar face returning to The Meadow is midfielder Bruce Wilson, who this week re-signed for the club after spending last season with St Neots.
Boss Andy Leese has also moved to bring in much-travelled former Reading Maidenhead, Bishop's Stortford, St Albans, Boreham Wood, Tamworth, Yeovil, Crawley, Hayes & Yeading, Tonbridge, Slough Town, Weston-super-Mare, Halesowen and Hednesford defender Curtis Ujah.
Meanwhile, Chesham have been drawn away to Billericay Town in the FA Trophy preliminary round, to be played on October 31. Elsewhere, Holmer Green will play at Newport Pagnall Town in the FA Cup extra preliminary round on August 15, and host Wellingborough in the FA Vase first qualifying round on September 5.

Re: Thursday Fulham Stuff 09.07.2015
Scouting Report: Cairney
Paul Wheelock, Blackburn Rovers reporter for the Lancashire Telegraph, gives us the lowdown on former Ewood Park favourite Tom Cairney.
How would you describe Tom Cairney in one sentence?
A left-footed, creative midfielder who is very comfortable on the ball and can score spectacular goals.
What sort of player have Fulham signed?
Someone who is very adaptable. He can play wide on the right, cutting in onto his left foot, from deep, taking the ball off the centre-backs and starting attacks, or in the 'hole', playing forwards in.
Where do you see his best position?
I think he was most effective for Rovers wide on the right but his natural position is in the middle. I always liked him in a 'three' – some of his best performances for the club came there, particularly against Premier League opposition in the FA Cup.
What was the Blackburn fans' reaction to his departure?
Disappointment. They voted Tom their player of the year in his first season at the club, and while he did not hit the same heights in the second, when he admits himself he could and should have scored more, he still won their goal of the season award. He was a firm fans' favourite, as evidenced by the reaction on social media after his departure.
What are his main strengths?
His composure on the ball, his eye for a pass, and his ability to shoot from range.
What's he like as a person?
A really nice lad and, from a journalist's perspective, a great interviewee. He gave thought-out answers and, when the time was right, was up for a laugh. I think his Twitter messages to Blackburn fans after he left the club said a lot about him.
How do you think he'll fare at Fulham?
I'm sure he'll be a big success.

Fulham inch closer to more signings - Kit Symons
Five-way call triggers more Whites transfer biz
Kit Symons has revealed he is closer to more Fulham signings to go with the five in the bank already.
Kevin McDonald at Wolves is a known target, while the club are desperate to keep teen star Patrick Roberts out of Manchester City and Paris St Germain clutches, while the future of young striker Moussa Dembele remains uncertain.
As Symons and the squad prepare for a training friendly against Aston Villa in the Algarve on Saturday night, Symons was merely a fifth of a conference call in Portugal designed to press forward with pre-season business.
Balancing act: Cauley Woodrow in action with Wolves' Kevin McDonald
On the other end were chairman Shahid Khan, chief executive Alistair Mackintosh, chief football officer Mike Rigg, and Khan's right-hand man in the USA, Fulham director Mark Lamping.
Symons explained: "We had a rundown on potential signings and anyone going out.
"It's constant and regular communication. Everyone pulls together and sings off the same hymn sheet. Given the way things have been done, we've given ourselves every chance of being successful."
Fulham have signed defender Jazz Richards, midfielders Ben Pringle, Jamie O'Hara and Tom Cairney, and keeper Andy Lonergan, while Bryan Ruiz is the latest high profile name to leave the Cottage.

Taggart In Great Shape
After a deeply frustrating 2014/15 season, Adam Taggart is ready and raring to go for the new campaign.
Due to a persistent groin injury, the Australian striker didn't play one minute of First Team football for the Whites last term following his move from Newcastle Jets in the summer of 2014.
But the forward has enjoyed a productive pre-season thus far and hopes he can finally play a part for the Whites when the new term gets under way in August.
Speaking from the Club's training camp in Portugal, Taggart told the official website: "A lot of people dread all the running of pre-season but it's been fantastic for me, which sounds a bit weird.
"I was obviously struggling last season with my groin but now I'm in the best condition I've been in for a long time. Mentally and physically, I'm in great shape. It's a progression I'm hoping to continue.
"My body is 100 per cent now and I can progress and develop, get the shooting boots back on and contribute for Fulham this season. I had a good base of fitness the last few weeks and now it's about getting the little details right – your finishing, your touches."
Taggart featured as Fulham played a practice match with Millwall earlier this week in Portugal, a game that ended in a 0-0 draw.
"It was good to get back into the rhythm of a match and put all of our hard work of the last few weeks into a game scenario," continued Taggart. "It was hard work in the heat but it was important to get that under our belts and back into the swing of things.
"It reminds me a bit of Australia because most of our season is played in the summer. I enjoy being out in the sun and it's nice for pre-season. It's a little bit harder than being in the cool air so in the end it will be good for us.
"I've got used to the fresh air in London but definitely out here it brings back memories of playing in Australia so it's probably a bit easier for me to adapt."
A similar practice match awaits Fulham on Saturday when the Whites face Aston Villa, and Taggart said: "The last few weeks were hard physically and it's another step up on Saturday.
"Hopefully we've got all the rustiness out of us against Millwall and it's a fresh start when we play Villa. I'm hoping I can show what I can do."

There is a lot in this release for teams using our organization tools, for regional systems of teams, associations, and national agencies. Organizations are getting member status analytics, custom member statuses, custom fields on teams, about this team, team capability tracking, and an organization control panel. While all teams and organizations are getting GPS/GPX tracklogs uploads, team mutual-aid availability statuses and retirement reasons - read on!
We now visualize all your uploaded GPS export files on the activity map, so you can see all the tracks your members carrying GPS took, or where their vehicles drove. To overlay on a map, just upload the GPS export file (.GPX or .KML) as an attachment to the activity in Documents. We'll automatically interpret it, and add it to the layers list where you can switch it on/off. To remove it, just delete the file from your documents. We'll do this automatically for any past GPS files you've uploaded.
An availability status lets your team members know your current status as a team - Available, Limited Availability, or Unavailable. If you've either reduced operations due to personnel or equipment factors, or simply an extended operation such as a multi-day wildfire, search operation, or large scale terrorism event that impacts your resourcing, you can broadcast your availability as limited or unavailable for mutual-aid.
While this feature is available to single teams, only personnel with a sign-in to your team can see it, e.g. your members, administration, support staff, and auxiliaries. Organizations and teams can now configure availability statuses in [Settings] > [Team Statuses]. Its turned off by default in teams, so you need to go in and switch it on to use it.
This is particularly useful for where you're managing a group of personnel who come together to for a special operations unit, or you use auxiliaries at your site, or you depend on professionally trained volunteers to respond. Experienced and trained personnel, no matter what, cost money - and its important to understand why they might retire from duty. You can now build-out retirement reasons in [Settings] > Modules [Members] > Retirement Reasons to customize your own. When you retire a member, we'll now ask you for a reason along with their retirement date. Note that you cannot customize this at team-level if your team is connected to a parent organization.
While a few teams have had this feature for a long time, we've now enabled it for everybody without restriction. If operational and non-operational don't cut it for you, add your different watches, crews, or membership types. Custom statuses can now be configured by owners on all teams and organizations in [Settings] > Modules [Members]. Note that you cannot customize this at team-level if your team is connected to a parent organization.
A new view within Organizations allows you to see lists of members, and analytics across all teams, by status. So now you can quickly reference all your operational members, everyone on Watch A, or just your support staff. Our built-in analytics views will give you real-time charts and gauges as to the average attendance & hours broken down by status. To access this within organizations, visit [Planning] > [Members] > [Members By Status].
Clicking your team name in the header will now bring your members to About page for your team. This is a read-only view for your team members and the organization to understand some basic properties about your team. This page really comes into its own once it has been customized by a parent organization who can add their own fields. Update the properties on this page in the [Settings] area as an account owner.
Organizations can now configure custom fields to display on a team's profile in the organization and to its own members. Custom fields on a team could include anything from radio frequencies to emergency call out numbers. Organizations can get creative here, polling the data from each team to build up their map of teams each with a profile.
This organization feature, team capabilities, allows an organization to list a number of different capabilities teams within it can do. For example, you might have a K9 Unit, an Incident Support Team, or Chemical Response Unit. Team owners can select the capabilities they wish their team to publish that they can undertake. Once in the organization you can filter and browse capabilities to understand what is lacking and surplus within your organization.
This is a simple addition of all the units, currencies, weights, coordinate systems, and more to the [Settings] > [Main Settings] page within an organization. While teams have always had this self-service, we've done this for organizations - but now it's time to hand you the controls.
If you're a central agency, association, or system of teams and like the sound of multiple teams connected together to share information with the parent organization, contact us and we'll explain how it works.
We've always named our software releases after different lighthouses because we work in one! Cape Beale Lightstation is an active manned lighthouse on Vancouver Island in British Columbia., Canada. This release was inspired by BC SAR Association, so we named it after their area.
These are just some of the many features D4H can help you with to respond smarter and safer. If you want to learn more about it or see how D4H can help your response team, do not hesitate to contact us.
A highly collaborative system that will pro-actively engage your personnel to reach the highest standard of training and professionalism. Designed specifically for response teams to manage their training programs, personnel administration, and performance. Learn More.

## Overview

Provides basic functions to generate UUIDs on the client side. UUIDs can be generated in following formats:

- 16 byte Binary string: Big-Endian binary representation of an uuid
- 32 byte hex string: 32 chacter hex representation without dashes. The default in this library.
- 36 byte hex string: The usual string representation of uuids.
- 38 byte hex string: String representation with braces.
- 45 byte hex string: with urn:uuid-prefix
- 22 byte Base64-like string (Experimental)
- 26 byte Base32-like string (Experimental)

The library supports the following uuid sub-versions:

- V4 Random UUIDs
- "Sequential" V4 Random UIIDs (Time/Random-Based UUIDs inspired by COMB-UUIds, but slightly different)

The default version is V4Asc (Ascending Random)

If more sophisticated functions are necessary, the famous [https://packagist.org/packages/ramsey/uuid] may be worth a try.

## Pitfalls and Limitations

###Byte Order

This library assumes Network Byte Order (Big Endian) as described in the RFC 4122 in the
binary string representation. Unfortunately Microsoft uses Little Endian, thus conversion to the
string representation may return another result there. Additionally, On systems using little endian,
the V4Asc algorithm does hot have the desired effect.

###Format

32 char hex strings are used by default which can be stored in CHAR(32) fields. Please make sure
that the field uses an 8bit characterset (ASCII) and a collation with no overhead (binary or similar).

Format (Constant)         | Db Type / charset / collation       | Comment
------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------
Util::FORMAT_BIN          | BINARY(16) BINARY / BINARY          | Binary
Util::FORMAT_HEX_SHORT    | CHAR(32) ASCII / ASCII or binary    | Just Hex
Util::FORMAT_HEX_GROUPED  | CHAR(36) ASCII / ASCII or binary    | Hex + Formatting characters
Util::FORMAT_HEX_FULL     | CHAR(38) ASCII / ASCII or binary    | Hex + Formatting characters
Util::FORMAT_URN          | CHAR(45) ASCII / ASCII or binary    | Hex with urn:uuid:-prefix
Util::FORMAT_ENC32        | CHAR(26) ASCII / ASCII or binary    | Experimental Base32-like sortable encoding (numbers+lc-chars)
Util::FORMAT_ENC64        | CHAR(26) ASCII / ASCII or binary    | Experimental Base64-like sortable encoding (numbers+alpha)

Note about chracter set and collation:

Choosing the right db type, charset and collation can have a huge impact on performance.
It's not reccommended to use UTF-8 for a UUID-Field because it's a waste of space and unicode-comparisons
are usually slower. Usually the best choice is to use a binary or ASCII-collation and
ASCII charset (except for FORMAT_BIN, which has to be BINARY)

- All encodings are sortable and big-endian.
- All encodings except FORMAT_BIN are Url-safe
- For all encodings except FORMAT_BIN it's reccommended to use an ASCII-Character set and a binary collation
  in order to increase performance
- For all encodings *except* FORMAT_BIN and FORMAT_ENC64 it is *possible* to use a case insensitive collation
  because the string representation are never mixed case, but it should not be done.

Another option is to use the 16byte "binary" format.

Advantage of the 36byte hex format:
- No Endian-Conflict
- Readable using the usual representation
- Easy to use in hand-written queries
Disadvantage of 36byte hex format:
- Uses more space
- may be slightly slower

## Example

Generating a UUID is quite simple:

```php
  $newUuid = \helicon\uuid\Util::generate(); // Generates a new in default format and version
```

## Installation

World cat Day is celebrated on the first spring day, 1 March, as suggested by Moscow Cat Museum in 2004 and approved by United Nations. Cat is one of few species that are able to live with humans and take it easy.
On 20 December 2013, the Sixty-eighth session of the United Nations General Assembly decided to proclaim 3 March as World Wildlife Day to celebrate and raise awareness of the world's wild fauna and flora.
World Water Day has been observed on 22 March since 1993 when the United Nations General Assembly declared 22 March as "World Day for Water". This day was first formally proposed in Agenda 21 of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Brazil.
World Meteorological Day celebrates the signature by representatives of seventeen nations of the Metre Convention in 1875. The Convention set the framework for global collaboration in the science of measurement.

War, work and witnessing: aesthetics and ideology in Shindō Kaneto's cinema
Russell Square: College Buildings
Speaker: Dr Lauri Kitsnik
Chair: Dr Marcos Centeno
Shindō Kaneto (1912-2012) was a prolific Japanese film director noted for works such as Children of Hiroshima (1952), The Naked Island (1960) and Onibaba (1964). He maintained an active and uninterrupted career for over seventy years, perhaps the longest in the entire cinematic history. His films have been both praised and criticised for their strong leftist agenda when dealing with social issues such as crime, poverty, disease and discrimination. However, there is currently a lack of consensus as to whether his work displays enough thematic or stylistic unity to be evaluated in auteurist terms. In this talk, by looking at Shindō's films from different decades, I argue that his visual style underlined by excessive repetition effectively created a self-referencial system of cumulative images which offers insights into his worldview in both aesthetic and ideological terms.Lauri Kitsnik (PhD Cantab) is Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Fellow at the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures in Norwich.

Congregational health ministries play a vital role in attending to the health and well-being of your church members. Our ministry has various resources available to support individual members of congregations, pastors, health ministers and parish nurses or faith community nurses. The scriptural truths we teach are not specific to any denomination. It has no denominational bias.
Clergy and Pastor Health – Resources for your personal health as well as the health of your church. The healthier the pastor is, the more likely he/she will be to promote health and wellness within the congregation.
Parish Nurse or Faith Community Nurse Resources – Congregational health-related resources for the Parish, or Faith Community Nurses.
Faith and Health Ambassador Initiative – Invest in the life of a staff member or member of your congregation by enrolling them in this 'train the trainer' initiative. Course participants will grow spiritually and be equipped to lead our PathWay 2 Wholeness program. If you're looking for a way to better equip someone in your congregation to be a champion for the faith and health link, this course would be a great resource to invest in.
Whole Person Health Program – Is your church looking for a Christian wellness program or Bible study to offer its members? PathWay 2 Wholeness, based on the two Greatest Commandments, addresses 40 biblical principles for whole person health.
Faith and Health Link Workshop – This live workshop – presented in a teleseminar or webinar format – is a very condensed version of the PathWay 2 Wholeness program. Participation in this workshop by a pastor or a health ministry leader would give the person initial insight about the connection between the Christian faith and health. If you're considering whether the PathWay 2 Wholeness would be an appropriate program to support your congregational health ministry, attending this workshop will help you make this decision.

Aren't these potted pansies in the shabby hanger enchanting? I love this. Ooh, it just makes me want to grab hold of spring and yank it into my life. Can't wait.
I've been without a computer for a week now, with no hope of recovering my hard drive. I don't want to talk about the fact that I spilled almost an entire cup of Starbucks Cafe Mocha on my laptop, and that I lost all my photos from the past three years. I'd rather focus on the good news that I had some important things backed up on flash drives, and that many of my personal photos are on my other blog Joyful Altitude. There's something to be said for blog archives.
Hubby has kindly loaned me his extra laptop while I wait for my new one to arrive. Once it comes and I get set up, I'll finish a post I started on charming cottage homes designed by an American architectural firm. I think you'll enjoy the tour.
Meanwhile, I've been doing a little redecorating in our living room.
Remember this picture? It's from my post on finding a new writing space. And do you recall my plan to turn the little blue chest into a desk? Well, scrap that idea. I'm invoking my right as a woman to change my mind, and I'll tell you more about my revised plan in a future post.
So the room is nice enough, but "stodgy". (My beloved's word, not mine. But he's right.) It doesn't have the cottage look I love and want. And my husband agrees. (See why I love that man?) He suggested we move out the credenza with the baskets and replace it with a white wicker garden set I picked up at a thrift store for $75 (cushions included). It's in great condition, and the chairs are so comfortable.
I love this spot in the early morning when I can watch the sun rise over the mountain.
More changes on the way.
Sharing with "Green Day On Raindrops and Daisies"
Well, for Pete's sake! I didn't realize you had another blog. I like that pretty table and chairs by the window. I bet you do love to sit there and think and write. Pansies, to me, are the most cheerful flower there is!
I agree with you, Dewena. Pansies are the most cheerful flower. I'd like to try growing some indoors as a houseplant in the winter.
Oh, yes, that pansy photo is just so colorful and wonderful! Love the last shot of the other flowers as well. First of all, I am SO sorry you lost your photos on that laptop and have lost the hard drive. That has to be so upsetting! Secondly, you were so nice to comment on my FF post a week ago when I did the 5 Facts. We have such great memories of being in the Denver area for six months when she was born. Want to get back there if we can some time this year. Have friends in Greeley we want to see, for one thing. Anyway, I love the changes you are making to the writing room! Hope you get things back up to speed soon, computer-wise. Have a great week!
Thanks for leaving such a kind and thoughtful comment, Marie. If you do travel to Greeley it would be fun to meet up, if you have the time. Hugs.
First - I am so sorry about your lost photos. I am happy that you have some saved on your blog. Now - I adore pansies! They are simply the perkiest little happy flowers! Come on Spring! I LOVE your sweet wicker table and chairs! Good idea! Plus your geranium seems to approve also. We had snow this morning in Kentucky. It was beautiful but I hope it will be Winter's last hurrah. Love to you and Dennis. I think about you often and it always makes me smile. Thank you your post.
Sorry about losing your photos . . . sounds like some good news from saves in flash drives and blog archives.
Love the wire holder, clay pots with pansies . . . I would love it!
I don't think I would want to move from that spot and oh how wonderful it must be to see the sun rise over the mountain.
Happy Sunday to you, Betsy. Dennis and I enjoyed a beautiful sunrise this morning over breakfast. Hope the rest of your weekend is peaceful and relaxed.
hopefully it will all get sorted.
and this morning for some reason it wouldn't turn on!!!
Love the table and chair and flowers, so pretty and the pansies in the top photo are wonderful.
ps I didn't know you had another blog either!!
Oh Fiona, I hope your computer not turning on this morning was just a fluke. My other blog is more of a photography blog. Mostly documenting nature and some of our life in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I also had a Christian devotional blog for about two years.
Ooops forgot to say thanks for linking up with Green Day!
And so sorry about your computer. You'd think they'd make them 'coffee proof'. Since so many people use them in Starbucks and coffee houses... I mean, really?
Thank you, Rian, for the sweet comment on my blog header photo. Wouldn't it be nice just to sit there in the blue chairs and enjoy a chat? That is the front garden of The Fawnbrook Inn, and it is absolutely stunning in summer. Hummingbirds everywhere, a little water feature. It's just a precious place. Thanks for sharing in my computer sorrow. It was just a very careless thing on my part, and I learned a very expensive lesson. Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday. Cheers.
So lovely! I would want to spend all day there!!
A delightful change. I always love how one change makes the whole place look new. The pansies make me yearn even more for spring. We had 7 inches of snow this week and I'm so over winter. But it was beautiful--and cold!

Chef Kelly English offers Cajun comfort fare at casual The Second Line.
: Best known for his high-end French-Creole Restaurant Iris, chef Kelly English offers more casual Cajun fare in a laidback setting at The Second Line, which is located next door. A long wooden bar and finished wooden floors give the space a rustic charm with a touch of hipster class. The small but inventive menu includes traditional and Memphis-style po' boys. There are fried Gulf oyster and fried Gulf shrimp po' boys, as well as po' boys stuffed with hot ham and cheese or vegetarian mushroom debris. Diners can skip the bread and order a plate of fried oysters or shrimp or Mississippi catfish. Sides, called "groceries" on the menu, range from crispy fried onions and cheese grits to skillet cornbread and stewed beet greens. The Second Line has access to the full Restaurant Iris wine list, which is well-priced and presents a wide range of selections. Many good half bottles and numerous choices by the glass encourage exploration. The Second Line also serves the same bread pudding as its sibling, and it's delectable.

Wow! I'm finally feeling more like myself now that my fall schedule has resumed, and I'm back in the classroom. The biggest piece of advice I can give you when launching one of your kids is have something ready for yourself-one of your purposes.
We had been cleaning out our house ever since we came back from Guatemala in July so that we could eventually put it up for sale. I took many trips to the thrift store and we sold things online. I bought boxes of garbage bags and scheduled garbage pickups for old furniture. Before I knew it, it was time to move Hannah into college. We came back and I realized what I had been doing for half of the summer was almost done. We only had a couple of areas left to organize and they needed the whole family.
I was left without a purpose for me. I knew I had a purpose as a wife, mom, friend, etc., but I quickly found that it wasn't enough. Thankfully, I turned a corner when I volunteered back in our children's ministry program at church and started back as a mentor with our moms group. Teaching resumed after that and I feel mostly back to myself.
Stay close to God. Yes, you are a mom but you are even more important a child of God. He loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. This time in your life will involve many changes and ups & downs. You may feel empty or experience a void. God wants to fill that first. Bring your broken heart to Him.
Pour out your heart in a journal where all thoughts are important and voiced. Sometimes I wrote in my journal a couple of times a day during the first week without Hannah. Remember that you are going through a period of grieving.
Keep your date night. Jon and I have a standing date night on Monday nights. This has given us a backbone for our relationship. It's crucial to draw close to your spouse as you prepare for the empty nest.
Follow your purpose. What were you created to do? Are you doing it? Are you moving toward it? If you're not sure, try volunteering in an area you suspect is your purpose.
Stay connected to your child. We set up a Skype date with Hannah every Sunday. We know that once a week we'll have the opportunity to see and hear how she's doing. You can also send letters and packages.
Lean into your girlfriends. I am so thankful for my friends. They have been there for to take walks, go on bike rides, meet up for coffee, and hang out for girl nights. They have been crucial in getting me through this transition.
If you feel like you're without your own purpose, I get it. I have specific training in the area of finding your purpose and now have the experience of being without it and finding it again. Get in touch with me. I'd love to chat over coffee!
If you've been through the experience of launching your child into college, what challenges did you face along the way? What suggestions do you have for overcoming those challenges? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Thirteen years ago our three children were the ages of 6, 3 and 1 and we were renting a small cape cod in Skippack, PA. For a bit of sanity, as a mother home with three young children, I did have a small part-time job 3 days a week for approximately 12-15 hours a week. While I worked my oldest daughter attended Camphill Special School, my son attended a preschool at a local church near where we lived, and my youngest went to the neighbor's house and learned to speak Polish.
While getting acquainted with the Skippack and Collegeville areas I came across a massage therapy school on Egypt Road, and very excitedly decided to look into it a bit further. So I stopped by one day on my way home from work and picked up a brochure. It seemed like the absolute perfect career. I just couldn't imagine what life would be like having a career where I could nurture others in a relaxing atmosphere, listen to relaxing music and earn a living at the same time.
After closely examining their brochure I realized the costs associated with massage therapy school at the time were somewhere between $10K-$13K. With three young kids at home and my husband just a few years into his IT career, it just wasn't feasible for us at the time. Unfortunately, that dream got stored on the back burner and was nearly forgotten completely.
Last year I suffered a back injury while assisting a client in the shower. I had changed careers and was now working as a habilitation provider through the ARC. The back injury I sustained was a displaced disc, which resulted in me filing for workers compensation that I received for three months while attending physical therapy. This was the most painful injury I had ever had and left me feeling completely helpless. My new routine became physical therapy three times a week along with regular massage therapy appointments.
During one of my massage therapy appointments, my massage therapist happened to mention that she went to a massage therapy school in Pottstown, PA which is where we are currently residing. Through a flood of emotion and pain as she was working on my lower back I surprisingly remembered the day that I had visited the massage therapy school in Collegeville and how expensive it was and how at the time it just wasn't a possibility. Through this back injury my husband and I decided that it just wouldn't be feasible to continue in my career as a habilitation provider.
Very reluctantly, and so as not to get my hopes up, I researched the website of the massage therapy school in Pottstown and much to my surprise the school was only $6,500. Tears came to my eyes as I realized this could actually become a reality. My husband had just started a new job in January, which we had been praying for, and we have been very blessed with not having any insurance premiums with our HSA plus his company is actually giving us $250 a month towards our health care costs. I then got the courage to give the massage therapy school a call and was able to set up an appointment for a tour of their facility, which also involved a one hour free massage. After attending a mock day in the life of a student in a massage therapy school and learning that if I paid my tuition in full I could get a 10% reduction. I am very proud and ecstatic to say that I am three months in and well on my way to being a certified licensed massage therapist. In fact, I have already been offered two jobs as a massage therapist working in a chiropractors office. Since attending school my confidence has grown tremendously and my fears have been conquered. If you put your mind to work for you instead of against you it is amazing what you can accomplish.
My children are now 19, 16, and 14 and are not needing as much of my time and attention as they did thirteen years ago. God has blessed me with this opportunity and this time for me to soar. I am taking one day at a time and making the most of every day being successful in my new venture. I am living proof that there are still dreams to be attained even after your kids are grown.
What dreams have you put on the back burner due to other responsibilities? What is on step you can take TODAY to make one of your dreams a reality? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Don't let your story go to waste.
Only recently, my counselor told me that when I came in I looked like a deer in headlights. For months, I was a deer in headlights. I was frozen. I was shocked. I was in disbelief. Until that point, I had used every coping mechanism out there to hold everything together. I rationalized. I minimized. I suppressed. I cleaned up any and all messes to make everything look perfect on the outside. And then that one day when I woke up, I was literally shocked to what I had found. It was like I had experienced every trouble in my life all in one year's time. I can't really explain it other than this: I had an awakening. My truth had been revealed to me. And I had no choice but to deal with it. It was the hardest and best thing that I've ever gone through in my life all at the same time.
Looking back, there were definitely a few things leading up to this awakening/breakdown. One was the death of my best friend's baby. The other was my husband became very ill for a few months and ended up on short-term disability. My father-in-law had recently passed away (far too soon) after years battling cancer. And my mom had just gotten divorced for the second time from the man who my kids had called Pop-Pop for the past five years. And, as I started to dive into these issues, I began to find many other past issues that I had never dealt with that were just now beginning to surface.
Forgiveness is accepting the fact that the past couldn't have been any other way. For a long time, I held onto this hope.
Well, because my story isn't always pretty. I'm not always proud. I realize that some have had it worse, some better. But it's my story. And for the first time in my life I'm owning that.
Counseling to improve my self-esteem and reading to invest in my own personal development brought me from a place of looking like a deer in the headlights to having the piercing eyes of a woman who is unstoppable. I determined to end the cycle of abuse and depression that has been going on for generations in my family so that it never even comes close to my 3 daughters. I'm on a mission to bring other women with me up this mountain. Because we are all so much stronger than we think. My life used to be ruled by shame; now it is ruled by truth. I am not perfect in any way. I have good and bad in me. I have things that I need to work out. Shame prevented me from doing that. The truth is that we are here for a purpose – for a reason. I was put here by the King of kings and I am His daughter. Know this: God is pursuing you. He has a purpose for you. And, the truth cannot be changed. It will set you free.
Maybe you are still fighting your battle. Don't wait for the victory to allow your story to make an impact.
Share your story with someone TODAY!
So, what is your story? How are you using it to make an impact? I want to hear from you! Are you owning your story and using it to better yourself and others? Or, are you still holding onto the hope that your past could have been different?
These days I like to call myself an empowered woman… but that wasn't always the case. Through various life trials, lots of studying/counseling and the support of family and friends, I have begun the journey of self-acceptance. Now I am sharing these stories with you so that other woman can know that they are stronger and more valuable than they've ever realized.
If you're interested in sharing your story with others here on my site, send me an email at leanne@leannestolpe.com.
I have been thinking about my story, because I shared part of it last week at MomsConnect for part of our March meeting. I was part of a panel of women. We shared about a time in our lives when God worked in the midst of hardship.
There is a silver lining in your story. No matter what horrific event you have been through, there is a way to see God bringing good out of it.
God wants to use your story to help you help others. There are other people out there who are going through similar circumstances. They need you to share your story.
Your story can bring hope to the brokenhearted and those crushed in spirit from life's trials.
Sharing your story encourages others to share their story. Being real with others will have a ripple effect and inspire transparency in others.

Mom, Do Something Good For You!
Are you a mom? If so, it's time for you to do something good for you!
Recently, I hired a personal trainer.
It has been one of the best decisions I've made.
I knew I wanted to strengthen my core and workout on a regular basis. Knowing that and doing that are two different things. I knew I wanted to make this change in my life, but I kept coming up with excuses. I finally made the decision that I was important enough to take care of my health. I was struggling to do it by myself, so I needed to pay the money to make sure I was healthy. I'm so glad I did!
We put others' needs above our own. Most moms I know put the needs of their family and sometimes friends above their own. I've been there. I went through a time in my life when my kids were young, and I did the same thing – I didn't focus on my needs. I had to learn the hard way that I had to put my needs first. I had to put on my oxygen mask first before helping others. This means I need to prioritize taking care of my body.
We don't want to spend the money. I can resonate with this. We are living on a fixed budget. I had to step up and share how personal training was important to me. I wasn't getting it done on my own. I'm continuing to learn how to ask for help.
We will have to make adjustments to our schedules. Often it feels as if I can't add one more thing to my schedule. Making room in my schedule for visits to the gym has required me to take a closer look at my schedule. I had to eliminate a couple of things to accommodate my training sessions.
We hate change. I've started to substitute teach this year, and it's forced me to embrace change. However, I know that most of us do not like change. We do everything we can to avoid it – even if that means staying in our rut.
We avoid risks. Hiring a personal trainer was a low to moderate risk for me, but it still involved some risks. How would the workouts be? Would I be able to do them? I'm a fast walker, but I didn't know how I would do with weights and workouts.
I wish I would have started sooner! I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience of working with a personal trainer and look forward to reaping the benefits of my workouts.
If you have something you'd like to do, take the next step. You may be surprised to see where it leads you.
What is the next step you need to take for yourself? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
Like most mothers, I have a natural tendency to focus on my children, my husband, and my home. These are important for sure, but I do my family and myself a disservice when I don't have a more balanced approach to life. Specifically, I must learn to focus on me.
Mothers who fail to focus on themselves lose their identity, struggle with their fitness, and become disconnected with friends and loved ones. The moms tend to struggle with regret as they move further down the path of their motherhood journey.
Put yourself as a priority in your life. Put some of your desires and dreams higher on your priority list, so you can live a life without regrets. Yes, there are seasons in mothering that prevent you from chasing all your dreams, but you want to pay attention to some of your own plans and wishes along the way. You have gifts and talents that can be used no matter what stage of mothering you find yourself.
Schedule fitness into your life. When our kids were little, this looked like a double stroller and a walking buddy doing the two-mile loop in our neighborhood – rain, snow, or shine! Now it looks more like a personal trainer and workouts at the gym or walks with friends. This one is a work in progress since I started back to work 5 days. Your health matters. Find time to keep yourself healthy.
Go on dates with your husband. Early in our parenting journey, this looked like a babysitting swap or paying babysitters. Now, we look forward to our weekly date night, and we are excited about life after our kids leave (even though we'll miss them) because we've invested in our relationship all these years. We're planning for our 20th anniversary this summer!
Keep up with your girlfriends! You will need and cherish these special friendships as you get older. Remember that your kids are not your friends and one day they'll leave the nest. Your girlfriends will be there through the day-to-day and all your transitions and seasons of motherhood and life.
Live your life with no regrets. One of my regrets is that I didn't start subbing earlier in my life. I was chicken. I was too afraid. I don't know where my subbing adventures will lead, but I''m moving forward. I know that God has this, and I'm clinging to His hands. What are you waiting for?
As a mom, you have a very important job. In fact, it's one of the most important jobs in the world. Don't forget, you have another important job – to take care of you. If you want to keep the ME in Mommy, you have to take intentional steps today. When you do this, you'll be surprised to see the positive impact on your family.
What action do you need to take today to keep the ME in Mommy?
I had a friend text me the other day about pricing for my life purpose coaching services. We ended up having a conversation on the phone about how life was going for her. (She's a mom of two teens and has a full-time job outside the home.) She talked about how bad she felt for not showing up to her son's parent teacher conference. She expressed frustration at trying to keep track of her kids' events and activities. She had a desire to work on all areas of her life.
I gave her some ideas to try over the phone and encouraged her on the sense of purpose she already has with her family and career. I also emphasized the need to give herself grace when she misses an appointment. This conversation inspired this blog post.
Get control of your schedule with an online scheduling tool. One adult needs to take charge of this and be the one to send out all the appointments. This will do wonders to getting your family on the same page!
Set a family meeting date weekly to go over the upcoming week's events. Our time is Sunday afternoons. We may do some of this casually during the week but every Sunday I get out the white board to go over logistics for the week which includes who is cooking on what day.
Figure out your priorities and include you in your top 5. My priorities are God, Me, Family, Work, Friends. It's important to put that oxygen mask on first before meeting others' needs. It is not selfish to put yourself high on your priority list. Let your priorities guide your decisions everyday.
Hire a personal trainer. If you are having a hard time putting yourself as a priority and getting the exercise/weight lifting you need for you body, consider hiring a personal trainer to keep you accountable and provide you with an exercise plan.
Give yourself grace. Just this weekend I went to the wrong location for my scrapbooking event. It provided a tangible example to practice what I preached. Instead of beating ourselves up when we make a mistake or fail at something, get into the habit of treating yourself well and giving yourself grace!
If you are a mom, what advice to you have for others who feel too busy?
Today I started it again.
It's the third snow day in a row, and I was ready for more of a feeling of accomplishment. To get me started, I wrote out some basic goals: groceries, curriculum planning, walk, etc.
When I talk to moms about getting things of their list of things to do, I talk about the importance of setting three bite-size goals. These goals are set at the very beginning of the day before the rest of the day gets too far ahead. These are goals that you can accomplish. They help chart your course for the day. These goals help you stay focused when a million and one distractions try and lead you astray.
When I spoke at a MOPS group earlier this month, I shared about a time of recovery in my life after our son was born and how important these three small goals became to me in my daily life.
Getting back to today, I had to start over. With three snow days in a row, I thought I'd try it again to help with my focus.
I had a great day, and I accomplished the things I wanted to accomplish.
How about you? What helps give you that feeling of accomplishment? What three little goals do you need to set for yourself today?
Do you have a word that sums up your upcoming year?
I decided to choose a word. I prayed over it. I had a couple of words that changed over time. Finally, I prayerfully went with two words – trust and contentment.
These two words have already helped to ground me in the last few weeks. They've been an anchor in my life in this ever-changing world. They go hand in hand.
Trusting God brings contentment of all types – vocational, material, or relationships. This doesn't mean I'm not going to grow, but I will trust God for his leading and not push my way forward as I am sometimes in the habit of doing.
My challenge to you is to think of a word for this new year. Pick one that can ground you and focus you on fulfilling your purpose.
I'd love to hear what your word or words are! Leave me a comment below.
I know for myself, I have found my purpose in teaching. I love to be with a classroom of kids and to see the light bulb go off when they've figured something out.
Are you trying to discern your passion and purpose in 2016? My clients have been able to find their purpose vocationally from my guidance, listening, and accountability. As a certified life purpose coach, I would love to work with you!

Q: Understanding of QA and publishing process in samsung app store I'm developing an app for samsung bada.
Refer post: Using self developed Bada application for own smartphones
It tells:
- upload app to the seller site;
- now you can download it;
I have 2 questions here:
1) How much time does it take from second to third step?
2) Сan I avoid publishing my app in samsung app store?
I don't want it to be available for downloading by anybody, but regenerating manifest is not appropriate for me.

A: 1) Once the app is uploaded for certification, it usually takes 5 working days to be approved. Once approved it will normally take a further 1-2 working days before it appears in the app store for others to download.
2) As mentioned in the link you refer to above, you have the option to distribute your app using TestKit. This process is managed through the Bada developer site not the seller site so you should not upload to the seller site if you do not want it in the app store. There is an additional option to make your app go through certification and when it is ready to be published you can request to suspend the app in the seller site so it will not appear in the app store.

A: there's no link you can provide to install the application, your client should install the test kit application in his device, once the application is installed, it gives his device a unique id, you have to add this id in your component Setup of your in the bada developer account, once added, he will see the application in his applications list, and he can download it without passing by Samsung Apps, please refer to the link below, it gives all the details :)

Maggie and Matt's elegant destination Sarasota wedding was a vision of beauty with towering oak trees, perfect weather and views of the serene bay. With a color palette of whites, blues, and natural tones, the outdoor Florida wedding featured neutral shades that blended in naturally with the garden surroundings.
Being over 1,000 miles away, the upstate New York couple relied on online research to plan their destination Florida wedding, including reading Marry Me Tampa Bay.
With six months left to plan, the couple knew it was imperative to find a seasoned Sarasota wedding planner who could turn their vision into reality. After hearing multiple gleaming recommendations, Maggie and Matt's hired one of the area's most seasoned wedding planners NK Productions.
Searching for a Sarasota wedding photographer who could capture the raw emotion and sweet details from their wedding day, the pair chose Cat Pennenga Photography.
Looking back on their whimsical outdoor wedding, the bride couldn't help but remember one of their favorite memories from that special day.
A photographer who could communicate the essence and emotion of the wedding through photographs.
We discovered Cat with Cat Pennenga Photography through a Google search and really admired her work. She came highly recommended, so that was a definite plus. Cat and her team were wonderful; they were talented, welcoming, professional, and creative. Matt and I were very impressed and satisfied with our wedding albums. Every photo captured a special moment so well that it feels like we're reliving it all over again.
We really focused on finding a seasoned professional who could take our vision and make it into a reality. We needed someone who could minimize our stress and stay on top of all the details and logistics so we could enjoy this special time in our lives. Since we weren't in the area we really needed someone who knew the area and had a reliable network of vendors.
Where do I even start with my love, respect, and gratitude for NK Productions? From the very start, they were an incredible partner that brought much-needed support, unmatched wisdom, and a whole lot of excitement to the entire planning process. The owner Nicole and lead designer Korrin worked closely with us to understand our dream wedding in terms of design, experience, and budget. They kept us on track by constantly ensuring every detail was checked and double checked. The team made sure the wedding day itinerary was executed perfectly and that everyone was where they needed to be day of. Thanks to their efficiency and professionalism, we were able to relax and enjoy the best day of our lives!
Matt had flown down to Sarasota to ask for my parent's permission. Thankfully, they both loved him and excitedly granted him permission. A week later, he proposed on St. Patrick's Day while we listened to BB King and sipped on champagne. He whisked me away to Canada the next day for a weekend full of celebrating, laughter, and love!
Elegant and romantic with a modern twist. We aimed to find a way to embrace the natural beauty of the venue and really find a way to complement the already beautiful landscape with a classic color palette.
We focused on using whites, blues, and natural tones to mesh with the environment, but added subtle pops of color, mixed metals and candles as well.
We had a tremendous wedding experience in Sarasota! Without a second thought, I'd recommend all of our vendors to anyone in the midst of planning a wedding in Tampa Bay. Marry Me Tampa Bay was a solid resource for inspiration and vetting! Also, remember to pinch yourself every now and then because you're getting married in one of the most beautiful places in the world!


A new video from Pocketnow compares browsing speed on a Windows Phone 7 prototype from LG, the iPhone 4, and Google's Nexus One on Android. Even though the software's not finalized yet, Internet Explorer on Windows Phone 7 is surprisingly competitive with the WebKit-based browsers on the iPhone and Android, beating or matching them in most tests. No Flash, Silverlight, or HTML5 A/V support yet, but the browsing experience is at least on par with the competition and at least won't be a hindrance to the platform's success.
While the rendering engine is a mix of IE 7 and 8, Microsoft has clearly put a lot of effort into the user experience, with silky-smooth scrolling, multi-touch zoom, and tab management. It's a completely different animal from IE Mobile 6 on Windows Mobile 6.x (though most WinMo owners use Opera Mobile or other browsers in any case).

With all of the resources, we as Americans have to better ourselves, we still take the destructive route. I understand there is a recession going on. ( If you already broke, you really don't see the difference) This can be the time to pursue what you really wanted to do instead of pulling everyone into your misery. What are you good at that can be seen publicly? What would you do without pay and still be happy? Build on those things. Misery loves company and right now this company has more friends than FACEBOOK.

Now let's switch gears from Machining and talk about Stamping, which is another metal forming technique. First, we'll cover the overview of the typical parts you might find. Next, we'll speak to the pros and cons for stamping. After, we'll investigate the process and end by covering the common materials that you might use.
Some examples of common stamped parts are brackets, fittings, deep draw containers, or small metal parts. Small metal components are very common to see in our day-to-day lives. The main advantage of stamping is being suitable for high volume production due to the short cycle time and cost effective components. The main disadvantage is that the tooling is expensive.
