But anyways. I have watched Mclean, Happy, and Miami close. And I think I have it figured out. Miami is top dog of the three. Hands down. They still have an amazing running game. But, their defense, a bit weak. I watched Happy play Kress. Their quarterback can flat throw a ball and have a center who can lay the wood.. And finally, Mclean. They are way down. Now they have athletes, but not a very good scheme. I have a buddy from Silverton that watched them play. He said that they started strong. They had a qb who was decent as well he said. But he told me their weak links was they refused to pass it, and the only touchdown they scored was a passing td.
So these are my favorite teams in this district. And I say Miami and their great runnningbaack pulls it out. But will Mclean figure out a scheme? Will Happy keep strong? Let's find out.

Spirit Week a Success!
Posted by Fran Higgins | November 1, 2013
Okay, maybe that's a subjective title. If you measure success in smiles, however, it's spot on. Just look through the pictures UNMC posted to Flickr! Everybody was having a good time.
Post-Pie Apocalypse: Fran Higgins (Sailor Moon) pied Kim Ager, and McKenzie Stevens pied Jim Temme.
Even the folks with whipped cream dripping off their faces were smiling. The money donated for a chance to "pie" someone did go to the Student Senate, so what's not to smile about.
SAHP had a pumpkin carving/decorating contest and healthy potluck. Allied Health students helped decorate 40 bags to get ready for Child Life Trick-or-Treating. (See photos below)
Over 15 Allied Health students from various programs walked around with the in-patients who were unable to go trick-or-treating. Some carried bags, some pushed IV poles, some passed out goodies as the kids came around the atrium. They also escorted the children to judge a pumpkin carving contest.
Whether you donned your Spirit Week apparel, volunteered, carved, decorated, scavenged, made it to the photobooth for a silly dress-up shot, watched or participated in the costume contest and pie-ing, ate popcorn at the popcorn bar, got a free koozie and hand sanitizer, coffee, and scone, or partook in the truck vendor's wares for lunch, I think you'll agree that this Spirit Week was terrific!
A big thank-you to UNMC public relations for organizing this week of appreciation. Looking forward to next year!

Junkfood Science: Where's the crisis?
For more than a dozen years now, we've been given frightening images of a childhood obesity epidemic: an epidemic of immense, sickly children that's reached pandemic proportions.
When asked, most people probably believe that today's children have become at least twice as fat as in past generations and plagued by health problems. That's certainly the alarming image of the childhood obesity epidemic portrayed in the media. But how many of us have stopped to examine the evidence and see for ourselves just how real and realistic the threat is to our children?
As we learned in the "Anatomy of an epidemic," how an epidemic is defined and marketed, and the intensity of efforts to identify cases, can create an epidemic where the evidence shows only modest increases in actual numbers and actual weights.
In creating the perception of a crisis, media and public health officials have spoken with unified certainty of a fat time bomb and a tsunami that's shortening the lives of our children.
For the first time in our history, we've had several generations of children who've largely been able to enjoy their childhoods free from starvation, food shortages and rationing; able to receive an education rather than toil alongside their parents; and saved from the ravages of high infant mortality and devastating childhood diseases that have been largely eradicated thanks to immunizations, improved health care and safe water. Instead of expending calories battling infections, more children than ever are surviving infancy and childhood and growing up healthier and larger. Population-wide, we have fewer scrawny malnourished children. Thanks to these positive advancements and better childhoods, every actual health statistic shows lifespans increasing and diseases dramatically dropping. And there is absolutely no evidence to support fears that children's lives will suddenly shorten.
The popular assumption that the resulting increases in our children's sizes are somehow pathological can be critically questioned per the scientific evidence. But we never hear the full story, with good reason. If the facts were more widely known of just how modest the actual increases in children's sizes have been over the past forty years, it is doubtful that anyone would be as sold on the idea of a crisis.
So instead, we hear about skyrocketing increases in the prevalence of obesity — but even these figures have been carefully crafted to give us an exaggerated perception. There are all sorts of figures bantered about, too, which can make it hard for consumers and professionals to keep track. The most overstated numbers are based on self-reported surveys, including the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data. BRFSS is a telephone survey that's been conducted by health departments since 1984. Helping to skew the results, only those with land lines are included, eliminating many of higher socioeconomic status; and as more publicity has been given to obesity over the years, people have been more likely to participate and to more accurately report their weights. In contrast, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) have been conducted since 1963 and involve a representative sample of thousands of Americans with actual physical examinations, measurements and labwork taken by professionals.
In interpreting the data, the definitions for "at risk for overweight" and "overweight" for children and teens (and "obese" adults, for that matter) have been changed. For years, kids' and teens' definitions had been based on 85th and 95th percentiles on weight and height growth charts designed forty years ago. As today's children are maturing earlier and are taller and larger than past children were when the growth charts were developed, more were falling in the top percentiles.
In just the 8 years between 1980 and 1988, prevalence of "overweight" nearly doubled. And it increased another 50% in just 5 years between 1994 and 1999.
Doesn't that strike you as odd? It's interesting that no one has looked into just why the statistics show such dramatic surges in such short time periods, because, as we've seen, there have been no notable changes in the calories or diets of children, or in their activity levels, since the 1960s to explain it — just a lot of phoney claims to make us believe something sinister has been going on. It's also just plain easier and profitable to jump on the "epidemic" bandwagon.
But it is disingenuous for health officials to not explain what changed. The NHANES surveys are statistics gathered on a population of people. But the surveys themselves are different. The more recent surveys have undergone significant design changes, in order to better reflect the increasing diversity and aging of our population. They have been done on different people and different demographic groups over the years. Earlier surveys didn't reflect much racial diversity so when they were redesigned, selected population groups were suddenly disproportionately sampled in large numbers: children under 5 years, elderly over 60, and minorities. Black and Mexican-Americans, which according to the CDC are twice as likely to be "overweight" than whites, each now represent 30% of the total sample populations. So trying to compare surveys is like comparing apples and oranges. Never mind that population statistics cannot be used to make any credible conclusions about individuals.
Still, during the height of the government's build-up of its anti-obesity initiatives during 1999-2004, the NHANES data was not supportive of an obesity epidemic. Yet an epidemic was needed to justify their programs and every vested interest continued to make increasingly frightening claims. Meanwhile, a critical study was virtually buried in the media. The CDC National Center for Health Statistics report published in the June 2004 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that there had been no change in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among U.S. children, teens or adults since 1999 to 2002!
It's been equally difficult for consumers and healthcare professionals to learn how much average weights and heights (the two parts of the body mass index computation) among children and teens have actually increased. The available figures based on actual body measurements taken as part of NHANES suffer from the same difficulties in making conclusions because our population has become more diverse over the decades. Even so, the measurements since 1963 paint a considerably different picture of the "childhood obesity epidemic" than we've been led to believe.
The average weight of a 10-year old boy surveyed in 1963, for instance, was 74.2 pounds; and less than 85 pounds in 2002 — an increase of around 10 3/4 pounds over the past 40 years. Similarly, the average 10-year old girl today weighs about 10 1/2 pounds more than girls surveyed 40 years ago. The figures for teens over the past 36 years show nearly identical differences. Meanwhile, over the past 4 decades, the average 10-year old girl is about 1 inch taller, as is the average teenage boy.
These modest increases in population-wide heights and weights have been over nearly 40 years — a period when life expectancies have increased 10%, to the longest in our history, and age-adjusted rates for chronic diseases have dramatically dropped.

Ukraine foreign minister: Trump years were a "difficult time"
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. Photo: Cristian Cristel/Xinhua via Getty Images
The Trump presidency was a "difficult time" for Ukraine, during which the country tried to maintain "bipartisan support" from Republicans and Democrats, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in an interview with CNN on Wednesday.
The state of play: Ukraine found itself uncomfortably involved in U.S. domestic politics on account of Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani's dealings in the country.
Regarding the recent FBI search of Giuliani's apartment, Kuleba said he wasn't aware of any official request for assistance with the investigation, but noted that Ukraine would be "open to helping."
He would not say whether he believed Giuliani acted criminally, but noted that Trump's former attorney "was definitely playing politics and he put the situation at risk for Ukraine, and for the country's relationship with Washington."
The big picture: The interview aired just ahead of Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to Ukraine this week.
Kuleba noted that Ukraine hopes to buy military equipment from the U.S. to aid its simmering conflict with Russia.
The bottom line: "My impression is that Obama administration is about the past, and Biden administration is about today," Kuleba told CNN.

Federal prosecutors have asked that the materials seized from former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani's apartment be reviewed by a court-appointed outside expert, per a letter made public Tuesday.
Why it matters: The Justice Department typically balks at outside review, but prosecutors cited the "unusually sensitive privilege issues" and the "overt and public nature" of the search warrant as motives for the external review.

Despite housing a battery that is smaller than the unit in its predecessor, the frugal screen and chipset of Samsung's Galaxy Note5, as well as the optimized power draw in standby mode result in excellent battery life. Our own battery benchmark returned over 9 hours of screen-on time when testing, which puts it towards the top of the pile, and everyday observations confirm that you can eke out day and a half or even two days of battery with it with normal usage.
Those of you who got Samsung's latest and greatest phablet will be delighted to know that an over-the-air update is rolling out that aims to improve battery life even further through some software optimizations. Besides the battery life improvements, Samsung also mentions call quality and security enhancements that will come with the 144MB update, though it's not specified what these entail.
That is good news! I've always wish for better standby times on Android. With this and the future marshmallow update, I'm pretty excited!
We don't need this $hd its just a waste of time as if samsung can concentrate on the marshmallow that will be better.
What's wrong with improving what we already have? GEEZ...you haters are so critcal of Samsung. If some other OEM (not mentioning any name) offered this, you would be all in their crack praising them. Any improvement to such a good device is welcomed. I loving my S6 Edge+, and I just didn't like the Note 5 much. But I just use my T-Mobile jump and going back to the Note 5. On a recent business trip to New York, it made me realize how much I need to have the mobile S-Pen capabilities when I'm not carrying my Note Pro.
they probably start working on this before 6.0 was released. You prefer discarding everything and make you wait another 3-4 months for 6.0?
Numbers like... Galaxy S6 - #1 smartphone Galaxy Note5 - #1 phablet Both with the #1 screen and #1 mobile pay. Of course, you're #2.
I don't think he is counted ?
Lmao burned that troll badly.
Did the Note 5 Flop?
Sammy peaked at GS3 and GN2. It has been downhill since then: every iteration sold less than the previous one.
The Note 4 was the best phablet on the market (none before it had competition). The GS6 is the best smartphone on the market, and the Note 5 is the new best phablet on the market. They're at the top of the game.
For you maybe, and that doesn't mean much if at all. Downhill is downhill.
Retarded logic of Apple fanboys about sales being ultimate thing regarding quality of a product never miss the chance to amaze me. You need to learn what market saturation means, and that the end user (who got brains)does NOT care for sales, but only for what product he can get, by what price, and what does it offer for that price, that's should be the ultimate thing, not some retarded numbers.
By your logic, the market saturation only applies to Android? And you need to learn that the sales numbers / profits are the ultimate transcript for every corporation. And it seems Sammy is failing at that.
So you must be a concerned investor that gauges the success of a product by how many total units are sold rather than how well the product performs vs the competition. Are you an investor or are you a consumer? You like Apple products because they work for you, and that's all you need to say. Constantly tossing out childish remarks about "Sammy" isn't strengthening your fondness for Apple. It's weakening your ability to appreciate technology. Stay closed-minded about any product other than Apple. It works for you.
Call quality improvement? My Note2 call quality is perfect, does this mean, that Note5 was a downgrade form Note2?
Apparently you have no idea how technology works. There can always be better call quality, better camera, better this better that. A software update isnt always for a bad working feature, many times an update comes to improve an already great feature.
This is also the Samsung Pay update for those of us on Verizon. Unfortunately it's not in the store yet. I've sideloaded it along with the framework, but my small credit union isn't supported and probably won't be. I'm very disappointed in the lack of banks on board with this.
The edit time needs to be longer. It IS in the store. My bad.


The facility designation is certified by a local authorized entity. El Dorado County designated Barton Memorial Hospital a Trauma III Center on Tuesday.
"We have expanded our care team and our staff has undergone extensive emergency medicine training," said Purvance.
Levels I and II trauma centers, located primarily in urban areas, have a higher number of emergency personnel, according to a Barton Memorial press release. Level I centers require research and teaching facilities.

I'm running a little bit in slow motion today, but hey, it's Monday. Some Mondays you don't have that "wake up and conquer the world" attitude, but the good ol' Garfield "I hate Mondays" attitude. Love you forever, Garfield, my spirit animal.
We had a busy weekend over here-- The Mixtapes had back-to-back Friday/Saturday shows. We played outdoors downtown on Friday, so the girls got to come and see us. They got their faces painted and sang along with all the songs, so it was a pretty great time. We spent Sunday spoiling Johnny for Father's Day, so all-in-all it was a good and eventful weekend. How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun? I'll be taking part of today and setting it aside for relaxing!! I missed that part of the weekend! xo.
You are so lovely! I love your style! You have a great blog and such a lovely family!
Fun! That's so cool your girls got to hear you play. Your weekend sounds busy but fun. I made a really fun chevron canvas DIY (I have the steps on my blog if anyone's interested) which was just the craft project I needed -- I was craving an art project.
Garfield is the best! I used to check out all the comic books from the library and read them cover to cover.
Just finished watching American Blogger- loved your interview. It was really neat to hear what your voice sounds like after reading your blog for so long.
Haha, Garfield the spirit animal! :) I can agree with him today. Happy Monday! A beautiful outfit!
ahh, i love your hair!
That bra you show from the back, where is that from? Its beautiful!
Oh I love that dress! And those sunglasses. My weekend itself was pretty uneventful. Ran errands, got water ice, had dinner with the family-- but today my boyfriend and I took my new camera and went to one of our favorite museums! So that made up for a not-very-fun weekend.
I hope you have a great week! Sometimes a slow Monday makes for a very inspiring Tuesday!
Wow! your tattoo looks amazing!
I love those sunglasses and your hair! So cute!
I spotted you wearing this top in the video on A Beautiful Mess and instantly fell in love!
You are so perfect!!! I love your blog, its so beautiful and inspirational, which probably isn't what you were going for but it is! It makes me feel like I can live whatever life I want as long as I have a positive out look. Thank you for your wonderful spirit!

Dan-el Padilla Peralta has received two book prizes and a prestigious summer residency in Rome
Jamie Saxon, Office of Communications
Nov. 2, 2022, 12:10 p.m.
Dan-el Padilla Peralta, associate professor of classics, has received two prizes for his first scholarly book, "Divine Institutions: Religions and Community in the Middle Roman Republic" (Princeton University Press, 2020), which places religion at the heart of the Roman Republic's transformation during the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE. The work shows how religious ritual and observance bound Romans together at a time of rapid expansion and imperial violence.
Dan-el Padilla Peralta
Denise Applewhite, Office of Communications
"Divine Institutions" was awarded the 2022 American Historical Association's Herbert Baxter Adams Prize (given for an author's first book in European history from ancient times through 1815) and was co-recipient of the 2022 Classical Association of the Middle West and South's First Book Prize (2022). The book was also short-listed as a finalist for the American Academy of Religion's Best First Book in the History of Religions (2021).
Padilla Peralta — who recently led a fall break trip to Rome and Pompeii with 16 students who are enrolled in his upper-level seminar "Roman Religion: Sources and Methods (funded by a course enhancement grant from Princeton's Center for Culture, Society and Religion) — was also recently named the Lucy Shoe Meritt Resident in Classical Studies and Archaeology at the American Academy in Rome for May-June 2023.
Prior to his first academic publications, Padilla Peralta had written the memoir, "Undocumented: A Dominican Boy's Odyssey from a Homeless Shelter to the Ivy League" (Penguin Press, 2015), which is being taught this semester in three Princeton courses: "Thinking Translation," taught by Max Weiss, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies; "Translation, Migration and Culture," taught by Sandra Bermann, the Cotsen Professor in the Humanities and professor of comparative literature; and "Latinx Autobiography," taught by Monica Huerta, assistant professor of English and American studies. He is a 2006 Princeton graduate.

Do you see what we see? With the FLIR Radiometric Lepton® Dev Kit you will be able to bring FLIR's thermal imaging reliability and power to your Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or any ARM based development tool all in an easy to access breadboard friendly package. This kit includes a breakout as well as the Lepton® 2.5 longwave infrared (LWIR) imager. All you need to do to get this kit set up, simply attach the Lepton® imager module into the provided breakout, connect the headers, and you will be seeing in full darkness in no time!
The Radiometric Lepton® LWIR module included in each Dev Kit acts as a sort of camera and packs a resolution of 80 × 60 active pixels into a camera body that is smaller than a dime and captures infrared radiation input in its nominal response wavelength band (from 8 to 14 microns) and outputs a uniform thermal image. The Lepton 2.5 can output a factory-calibrated temperature value for all 4800 pixels in a frame irrespective of the camera temperature with an accuracy of +/-5˚C. Meanwhile, each breakout board in these kits provides the socket for the Lepton, power supply's, 25Mhz Crystal Oscillator, 100 mil header for use in a breadboard or wiring to any host system. A few things to consider about this kit: the breakout board will accept a 3-5V input and regulate it to what the Lepton® wants, to read an image from the lepton module all you need is an SPI port, and to configure the camera settings you also need an I2C port, although this is not required.
Note: This kit comes in two separate parts and will need to be assembled once received. The Radiometric Lepton module is extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). When inserting it into the breakout board be sure to use proper personal grounding, such as a grounding wrist strap, to prevent damage the module.

More Dire Signs of Liberal Jewry's Demise
J.J. GoldbergNovember 10, 2014Wikipedia
There's a pair of new studies just out that sheds important light on the future of Judaism in America. One paints an alarming picture of a population headed for precipitous decline, but offers hope that certain measures can turn things around. The other suggests that the most hopeful measure actually might not offer much hope at all.
The first study is a reanalysis of the data in last year's Pew Forum survey, the much-discussed "Portrait of Jewish Americans." The authors are two leading scholars of American Jewish life, historian Jack Wertheimer and sociologist Steven M. Cohen. Their findings, published in the online journal Mosaic, focus mainly on worrisome family patterns of non-Orthodox Jews. Fewer marry, those who marry have fewer children and those with children give them less Jewish education. The likely result — the signs are already visible — is that each successively younger age cohort is smaller than the one before, less Jewishly attached and less likely in turn to give their children a strong sense of Jewish identity.
The numbers they cite are stark. Pew found a population of 1.8 million non-Orthodox Jews in the 50-to-69 age group, but just 1.2 million in the 30-to-49 age group. Those in the younger cohort are markedly less likely to join synagogues or Jewish organizations, donate to Jewish charities, marry other Jews or raise their children as Jews.
Their calculations don't include the Orthodox community, they note parenthetically, "because its overall family patterns are so different."
"If Pew tells us anything," Wertheimer and Cohen write, "it is this: judged by their ability to retain the allegiance of their young, foster a commitment to the group life of Jews at home and abroad, or even meet the elementary needs of survival, American Jews, whatever stories they continue to tell about themselves, no longer constitute a great community."
Their solution: First of all, get more kids into Jewish day schools, which are depicted as the one sure fix for dissolving Jewish identity. They call it "tragic that day schools at every level have become largely the preserve of Orthodox Jews, with only small percentages of others choosing an immersive Jewish education for their children." They call on community leaders to "persuade more Jewish parents" to put their children in day schools. They urge easing school costs through philanthropic dollars and "by fighting for — rather than against — tax credits" for tuition. For teenagers and kids "whose parents are unable, or unwilling, to send them to day schools," they urge greater support for summer camps, Israel trips and youth groups, as well as more Jewish programs on college campuses.
The authors don't mention it, but tens of millions of philanthropic dollars have already been spent to expand day schooling over the past quarter-century, since the famous 1990 Jewish population survey raised the alarm over intermarriage. Here's where our second study comes in. Published October 30, it shows how effectively day schooling is solving the problem. The answer: not so much.
The study, "A Census of Jewish Day Schools in the United States 2013-2014," shows that day schools are booming, but the growth is entirely within the ultra-Orthodox or Haredi community. Modern Orthodox schools are just holding their own. Non-Orthodox schools are declining, despite gobs of philanthropic money. The Jews they're supposed to save apparently don't want to be saved.
The census is the fourth conducted since 1998 by day school expert Marvin Schick for the Avi Chai Foundation. Rare in Diaspora Jewish head-counts, it's a literal census: Every Jewish day school in the United States was contacted directly and asked for enrollment numbers, grade by grade.
All told there were 861 Jewish day schools across the country with a combined enrollment of 254,749 for the 2013-14 school year. Of these, 149 were non-Orthodox schools with a combined enrollment of 33,835, or about 13% of the total day school population.
The first census in 1998 had counted 676 day schools with a combined population of 184,333. That census found 158 non-Orthodox schools with 36,897 students enrolled. That represented 20% of all day school students.
In other words, non-Orthodox day schools — Solomon Schechter schools of Conservative Judaism, non-denominational community schools and Reform movement schools — have lost 3,062 students in the past 15 years, just over 8% of their enrollment. The Schechter schools in particular have seen a catastrophic decline, dropping from 63 schools with 17,563 students in 1998 to 39 schools with 9,718 students in 2013. Community schools have regained some of that ground but not all of it, growing from about 15,000 to 20,000 students.
Orthodox day schools have grown in the same period from 518 schools with 147,436 students in 1998 to 712 schools with 220,914 students in 2013. But that's not the whole story. Modern and Centrist Orthodoxy, both of which operate co-ed schools that prepare their students for college, have barely held their own; they've dropped from 47,000 students to 46,000 and gone from 26% to 18% of the total day school population.
By contrast, the two Haredi streams, Hasidic and so-called Yeshivish schools — known for extreme gender separation, distinctive clothing and devoting most of their school days to religious studies — have experienced explosive growth. Yeshivish schools have grown 59%, from 47,643 students to 75,681. Hasidic schools have more than doubled in population in the same period from 39,059 to 81,940. (Chabad-Lubavitch is considered a separate category, operating 80 schools with nearly 13,000 students, at least half of whom aren't Hasidic but are drawn by Chabad outreach.)
It's not that the Haredi streams are gaining popularity and attracting more Jews. Chabad, the Hasidic group that reaches out to non-Hasidic families, is the exception, so distinct that it's listed as its own category with just 12,000 students, half of whom aren't Hasidic. No, the streams of Judaism that are bursting at the seams are growing through high birthrates and strict self-segregation from everyone else.
How fast are they growing? Consider: Orthodox Jews comprise about 11% of the total American Jewish population of about 6 million, but they're 27% of the 1 million children under 18. In New York City that figure is 60%. And nearly all that growth is in the black-hatted Hasidic and Yeshivish communities, not the Modern Orthodox.
The Pew numbers may leave some open questions about just how children of intermarriage define themselves. There are layers of Jewish cultural identification that aren't easily detected in the survey questionnaires currently in use. Past surveys have too often searched for sparks of the Jewish soul with a pickaxe instead of a scalpel.
If the findings are to be believed, though, we could be at a historic turning point. Judaism probably isn't at risk, but the worldly, liberal Jewry that emerged from the Enlightenment could be. The modern Jewish civilization that produced Freud and Einstein, Roth and Bellow, Dear Abby and Hannah Arendt, Sarah Bernhardt, Estee Lauder, Golda Meir and the Marx Brothers could turn out to be nothing more than a blip in history, a pause in the eternal saga of the Talmud and the ghetto.

Firstly, I do apologise if this post does somewhat appeal to the more fashion conscience peers of mine, however for a woman in a digital marketing sphere it is sometimes good to share some common analogies.
Yes really, what a waste and think about all those compliments you could have received? You could have got yourself a new admirer, felt better about yourself – it could have boosted your self-esteem! Also, what a waste of money, deciding to spend your hard-earned money on having a suit made for the sake of owning a 'custom made suit'.
Now you may be thinking, what is this person talking about? Where is the link to digital marketing?
Okay, rewind a bit – now replace that "expensive luxurious custom made suit" phrase for the word "website". Are you following me now? Not "wearing it" refers to "not promoting it" – and there we have it.
What I am trying to demonstrate from this simplistic analogy, is that if you take yourself and your business seriously and you have really wanted to create something so fabulous to show people, then why would you just have a special suit made, then leave it in the back of the cupboard? This is often what people and businesses do when they pay for a lovely custom made website but then decide they don't need to market it online.
There is a gap somewhere, perhaps they just think people will see it on their business cards and go direct? However, if you want to promote your business, it is about getting it noticed and that means "digital marketing" it through all the search engines and making sure that your customers can find you. Ensure that when your customers are searching on the nature of your business, your company is coming up in their search string. It is the difference between being reactive rather than proactive and it is also about image. If you are not engaging your business in online activities such as having an active twitter account, keeping people up to date with news or even a regular blog on what your company is up to – some potential customers may judge you against your rivals. Your competitors may have a strong, well-structured digital marketing plan in which their site is fully optimised across all platforms – meaning they are being found on online searches for mobile and other online devices. Your competitors may also fair better if they are keeping up to date with the latest trends and showing customers that they are an industry leader – do you not think you should at least follow suit?
My advice to anyone is just like the tailor-made suit in the cupboard, get your website out of the cupboard! In search engine terms – make sure it is seen online and visible to people whom potentially want to buy your product or use your service. If you take yourself and your business seriously, investing in a digital marketing strategy to generate traffic and new customers is key. How can they resist enquiring, especially if you have spent so much time on creating something truly outstanding?
Pitching your digital marketing strategy is of course essential and when it comes to entrusting an external agency with this, just be mindful of what it is you are requiring. If the potential partner is not asking you the right questions such as what you want to achieve, where you want to pitch your services and do not seem to be working with you, I would personally stay clear. The more questions and contact they have with you, the better. The worst experience is when you sign up with someone and you never hear from them! This, is unfortunately what gives the good guys in digital marketing (and there are only a handful of us left) a bad name. A strategy should work for you and your budget, however it is important to remember that it will not be instantaneous. Nevertheless, with a good digital marketing campaign, you should start to reap the rewards after the first three months.
What are you waiting for? Get the suit on and get out there and get noticed!


Most families of disabled children can access the support they need directly without a social care assessment or intervention. There are a number of universal and targeted services available to families through the local offer. These include parenting support services, short breaks and leisure activities and other relevant services.
Families who need specialist support above and beyond what can be accessed in the local offer will need a Child and Family assessment. If this assessments shows that specialist support is required, it will then be used to inform a personalised support plan created with your child or young person and your family. This plan will be recorded in a Disabled Child Support plan.
A Resource Allocation System will be used to help us understand the level of support your child needs to meet their outcomes. This tool will help us make consistent decisions around allocation of resources for all families. These decisions are currently made at a multi-agency care package panel Families may access this support through a personal budget.
Social Care support for disabled children and young people up to 18 is offered by a number of services ranging from Early Help to specialist social work services. All social care services work closely with involved partners including Health, Education and Voluntary services to ensure you receive the right support at the right time.
Most families can be best supported through early help services which may include providing information, advice or even a coordinated Team Around the Child approach. However, some children and families need additional support to ensure their needs are understood and their outcomes are achieved. This may mean that a SEND Keyworker will become involved or a social work assessment is needed. See the Protocol for Assessment and Threshold Guidance for more detail.
The SEND Keyworking team provide a specialist early help service for those children and young people with the most complex needs.
If your family requires a social work assessment, you may be supported by either a mainstream social work team or the specialist social work Children with Disabilities Team. A social work assessment is called a 'Child and Family Assessment' The assessment is informed primarily by the children and young people, their families and relevant people and includes a social work analysis. This assessment looks at what is working well and what the worries may be for your child and family. It also identifies outcomes for your child and family and makes a recommendation around what support may be needed to meet these outcomes.
The decision around which social work team is best to support your family is made at the point of referral by the MASH team. If your child or young person has mild or moderate disability then they may be supported through the mainstream children social care teams. If your child has severe or complex needs, they may be supported by the Children with Disabilities Team.
In most cases there are no concerns about the child's safety or the standard of care parents are providing.
However, sometimes the people working with a child may have concerns that parents are not able to meet their child's needs or that the child may be at risk of harm. In these cases, social care may need to take action under the law to make sure the child is safe and well-cared for. See here for more information on safeguarding disabled children and young people.
Support and activities are available for siblings of disabled children through the local offer, including Young Carer's support. We have a responsibility to identify siblings of disabled children who may be taking on a caring role and ensure their outcomes are being met too. This can be explored through either an early help assessment or social work assessment.
Your needs as a parent or carer providing care for a disabled child will be explored as part of the Child and Family Assessment. This will likely include a specific carer's assessment built in to the holistic family assessment to better understand the impact of the caring role on you.
There are many support services available for parent carers in Greenwich which can be accessed without a social care assessment/intervention.

Baby wearing benefits parents! It enhances parent-baby bonding, is practical, facilitates breastfeeding, helps working parents reconnect, and makes transitions from one caregiver to another easier. But most importantly, it allows you to meet your baby?s need to be held while allowing you to meet your need to get things done! Anyone can wear baby ? mom, dad, sister, brother, grandparents, baby sitters, day care workers. The more baby is worn the happier baby is. And, a happy baby makes for a happy family.

Our Engagement Shoot: Happy Valentine's Day!


Ok, got out before the storm and threw some seed down in some areas of my backyard that were thin. Literally less than 10 hours later, there's 2" of snow on top, and potentially up to 24" due in. I figure the upcoming melt/freeze cycles, and soggy ground will help draw the seed in better contact with the soil in the upcoming month when things finally start to warm up.
Worth a shot...plus I wanted to get rid of that bag of seed. Plus it felt good to break out the Spreader and dust it off.
Front yard is getting Crabgrass preventer later, so no seed there.
So how did things turnout! Snowblower get any use? Mine didn't with only 2" of snow, not the 12" called for initially.
Temps are back to normal this weekend, near 60', which will be welcome as this snow is just a memory. Having several shrubs being delivered this weekend so bring on spring!
Really wish PinInterest would stop sending me these emails about landscaping ideas this week. Photos of manicured lawns, lush greenery and overall general spring/summer outdoorsy stuff, isn't helping my temperament, considering a winter storm warning is now in effect here and my house is in the "at least" 12 inches zone for the next 24 hours. Cherry Blossoms, Dogwoods, blooming tulips, daffodils....all about to be wiped out around my area. Not a happy camper at NC211's house this week. At least there is alcohol to be had and a snow blower... My plan of attack tomorrow. Drink until I'm happy, use the snow blower to carve a path from the back door to the hot tub, and call it a day.
Oh yeah. We got about 12" of HEAVY snow, and then it turned to rain and turned it all into concrete this AM when it froze.
SO pretty much my yard is now covered with 8-12" of solid ice/sleet. I've got some good smow mounds around my property right now, so no lawn prep for me just yet.
Hopefully the freeze/thaw cycles over the next week or so work that seed I threw down in good contact with the soil.

No Crabgrass Preventer spreading going on here. Where is the lawn? lol.
No idea when it will melt. Winters have been snowier and colder past 2 decades here. And we're having a Top 10 coldest March now with no above normal temps in sight.
Sat in the hut tub for 3 hours on Monday night while the storm was starting up . Might've been 32 degrees 10 feet above my head, but it was 103 10 inches below it!
Everyone used our snow blower yesterday as the snow was super heavy. We had probably 4 inches in our neck of the woods. Had it not been for the sleet that started around 3am and didn't stop until around 7am, we'd of easily had a foot. The sleet weighed it all down.
Have tarps over our tulip beds. Hopefully they'll be saved, but not counting on it at this point. Deer are basically standing in our back yard looking at us, waiting for their menus and appetizers. Interestingly enough though, I am kind've glad this has happened as it's bought me time for the interior painting project. I'm down to the basement area and on schedule. I know once I get outside to start working on the lawn, I won't be wanting to be inside painting anymore.
But underneath our trampoline, it's as green as it's ever been, and needs to be mowed!
Had to mow mine today, snow is all melted and gone.
Have you ever used Bayer Advanced 3-In-1 Insect, Disease & Mite Control? Suppose to provide 30 day coverage.
Noticed the wave of warm soil temps is returning...so glad I already got my crabgrass preventer down.

I tried the Bayer last year for our trees (granular) and I think it did a pretty good job, but think I put too much down around one of the trees because it struggled from there after. Heard it is really good stuff though. I am a fan of spraying down with neem oil now though via the sprayer. Bartlett Tree Service has kept a row of our leylands alive (16 years old now) after the round-up accident in 2012 by the previous owner, and they swear by the neem oil for mites and bugs.
I am taking Thursday off and going shopping to load up on the stuff for the yard this year. Planning on spending Saturday getting everything down on the lawn and hoping for another year of success. Hitting the lawn this week prior to with a fresh round of Drive XLR8 and Tenacity to hopefully kill off any seedlings already present before they get the chance to germinate. Have some clover that needs to be dealt with. I decided that after the new seeds have come up and established, I'll go after whatever weeds that survived with the stronger stuff that prevents new seeds from germinating. Likely towards the end of April. Then will hit with the pre-emergent.
I think the Bayer Advanced Tree and Shrub is nothing short of amazing. Only problem is my situation is I have too many trees and Shrubs.
This year I am going with 3-In-1 Insect, Disease & Mite Control, spraying twice in the summer 30 days apart.
My pride and joy is the Bayer Advanced 3 systemic products All-In-One Rose & Flower Care. Makes my roses like no other.
I also use it on all my flowering perrenials...amazing stuff. First application April 1, and then every 6 weeks throughout summer.
The granular form makes it very simple to use and highly effective I have yet to find another product even come close to let alone surpass the overall performance it offers.
Regarding my previous post all of the warm temperatures for April and May and much above average for June, I also agree crabgrass is going to be thriving in the coming weeks and months.
Glad I got my first application of crabgrass preventer down several weeks ago and then I will follow up with a second application in late May.

A Funny Thing Happened on Our Way to the Start Line…
By Monica Grant | July 27, 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area | 3
Marton Neher was part of the crew aboard the Farr 30 Frequent Flyer for last month's West Point Regatta when they experienced a new maneuver on their way to the start line. The crew had sailed the boat to the South Beach Yacht Club the previous day and left the skipper aboard overnight. The next morning they returned in time to ready the boat and get to the start line. What happened next was not what they expected…
It's still one hour from low low tide. Off we go. Not long after we leave the slip, the boat stops moving. People on neighboring boats, having their morning coffees, start looking. The skipper calls for everyone on the rails as we've struck mud.
Out we go, but it's not enough. As the shrouds start to wear off our hands we figure we need more leverage. That's when we decide to hoist a crew member with an offshore PFD (built-in harness) on a fractional halyard to exert some more de-righting momentum on the boat.
Still not enough. We've switched to a masthead halyard. The neighboring boats have all their phones out (it's 2022 — if it's not video documented it never happened!). Boat heels, depthsounder reads -1.2 feet under the keel. Still not enough to get us out of the fairway. Again: Low low tide is still one hour away and the race start is about to happen. This is no joke!
"Everyone on the rails!" comes the command. So out we go hang. The boat heels and slowly starts moving. And that's when we hear the most unusual comments coming from off the boat.
"Do something, my feet are getting wet!!!"
Of course we can't let our shipmate get completely teabagged, so we winch him out of the water promptly. (But not before Marton Neher got some footage of his crewmate dangling over the water.)
Not long after, the boat is out of the fairway with all crew safely back onboard, and we're off to start the race.

We didn't do well because of some undergrowth issues (I think we could legally classify ourselves as a botanical garden). We were the last boat finishing. But at least we fetched the windward buoy in one attempt!
And while the race had its own set of challenges with the flood currents of the Bay, getting underway was a maneuver that not many of us have lived through before. Plus, without a doubt, our morning performance must have made the day of all the non-racers in the marina.

Lake Tahoe Is Home to Godfathers, Dragons and Fire
By Tim Henry | July 27, 2022 | Lake Tahoe, CA | 2
I was rewatching The Godfather Part Two recently, when an unknown boat sailed through the frame on Lake Tahoe. As I was raised on boats in the 1990s in Southern California, to me, the vessel looked something like an Etchells or a Soling, with a sharp, elegant bow and a classic sloop rig. On the sail, there appears to be the letter "D".
Clockwise from top left: You can just make out the bow of an attractive-looking racing sloop; the rig, now in frame, with the letter "D" on the mainsail; either the same boat or the same class, on starboard tack as the Corleone family celebrates on the west shore of Lake Tahoe. (The Godfather is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The mansion from Part 2 was for sale in early 2020 for $5.5 million dollars.)
This was going to be an inquiry about what type of boat might have made a cameo in Godfather, but after a little research, I presume it's a Dragon — a metre boat and former Olympic Class yacht that's never been on my radar, until rewatching an old movie.
So the question has become: Does anyone have knowledge of a Dragon fleet, past or present, sailing on Tahoe?
There is no squiggly line under the D on the boat from Godfather, but otherwise, I see very similar lines, rigs, and letters on the sail.
© 2022 Right photo: Wikipedia/Left Photo: North Sails
Dragons date back to 1929, and might have been seen on Lake Tahoe in the 1950s, when The Godfather 2 was set, as well as in the early 1970s, when the movie was actually shot. Director and co-writer Francis Ford Coppola was known to have a keen eye for detail.
Coppola was also executive producer of the now-iconic-among-sailors movie Wind, so we are obligated to ask the question: Is Mr. Coppola a sailor?
He seemed to have had some interest, according to Kimball Livingston, Bay Area sailing expert, and one of the writers of Wind. "I once saw an E Scow (pretty sure) on a trailer at the house. On another occasion, [Coppola] showed up at the commissioning of a 50-ish-ft sloop to see if he wanted one like it; he sat in the cockpit, while we talked about Wind."
Sailboats make appearances in The Godfather Part 2 even before the Lake Tahoe scene. A handsome gaff-rigged schooner greets young Vito Andolini Corleone upon his arrival to the United States.

I don't know why, but I've long romanticized about cruising on the deep-blue waters of Lake Tahoe, sailing rail-down under snow-capped mountains, anchoring at shores dense with trees and boulders, and swimming in cold, crystal-clear water.
There is such lore in everything about Tahoe. Whether it's The Godfather or Mark Twain, or ski and snowboard magazines and videos, or whether it's some meta-version of the Old West and California's Gold Rush era, where native people and pioneers and immigrants created whatever Tahoe continues to evolve into, the "Ocean in the Mountains" (my nickname) holds a special place in my imagination. Even as Lake Tahoe has become a full-blown enclave and remote office of the Bay Area — crowded, expensive, choked with traffic and smoke, and under more regular threat from fire — the year-round appeal remains.
I dream about sailing on Lake Tahoe more than in the Caribbean or South Pacific.

I wrote a second-hand feature about Tahoe sailing in 2018, and find almost any reason to publish words and photos — kind of like the story you're reading now — about the second-largest alpine lake in the world. And as always, I'm trying to solicit your anecdotes.
Rest assured, there is plenty of sailing to be done on Lake Tahoe. Lessons are available, rentals are abundant, and beer cans are weekly for those looking to catch a ride, round some buoys, and get some local knowledge.
Emerald Bay, as seen while descending from Desolation Wilderness last summer. A friend and I did a two-day trip from August 1 through 3. Completely by chance, we arrived during a window where the smoke from one fire had cleared just days before the horrific Caldor Fire began. Beginning about three days after these photos were taken, the lake was socked in with toxic, bitter smoke for the next several weeks, and much of the lake was evacuated, or people simply had to flee what was then the worst air pollution in the world. What will this summer and the next 10, 20 and 50 years in Tahoe look like?

Here's my piece of Lake Tahoe lore, which kind of sounds like a movie:
Captain Richard Barter, a tough-as-nails retired British sailor, was called a "Robinson Crusoe," and also, "The Hermit of Emerald Bay." (I'll call him the lake's original "Godfather" for a sense of continuity in this story.)
Barter used to row some 14 miles from Emerald Bay to a saloon in Tahoe City, during winter, to drink whiskey. "After a night of drinking, Capt. Barter was rowing back to Emerald Bay when a storm pitched him into the icy waters," reported the New York Times. "Death seemed certain. He cried out, 'Richard Barter, never surrender!' he later recounted to a reporter visiting from San Francisco. After climbing back into the boat, he rowed furiously the rest of the way to Emerald Bay."
The reporter was reportedly skeptical, so Barter handed him a small jewelry box. "Them's my toes!" he said of his salt-preserved digits inside, an apparent keepsake of his brush with death. Barter kept himself busy in his extreme isolation, and built a seven-foot model of a man-o'-war steam frigate.
Captain Richard Barter poses with his meticulously crafted model of a man o' war. "Every rope, block, and sail was in its proper place; a wind-up clock hidden in the hold drove the running gear and propeller," Sierra College said. "On the deck of the wooden vessel stood 225 crew members, officers, marines, boatswains, and sailors, all hand-carved from small pieces of wood."
© 2022 California State Liabrary
The Times said that Barter later built himself a crypt on Fannette Island — Tahoe's only island — in Emerald Bay, and declared, "When he was ready to die, he'd climb inside and close the lid." But Barter was again tossed from his rowboat in 1873. His body was never found.
Lake Tahoe in February 2020, shortly before the world shut down.
And let's not forget: Poor Frederico "Fredo" Corleone sleeps with the fishes somewhere in the deep, ice-blue abyss of Lake Tahoe.

A Sampling of August Regattas
By Christine Weaver | July 27, 2022 | West Coast | 0
An Important Deadline This Sunday
Before we flip the calendar page to August, here's a timely reminder from StFYC:
"Hitting the start line on time and in a strong position lays the foundation for winning races. Experienced skippers know that prepping for the start of a big race begins with completing entry forms and locking in crew lists on time. For boat owners competing in the Rolex Big Boat Series, hosted by St. Francis Yacht Club on September 14-18, 2022, completing the regatta's online entry process by midnight on July 31 saves money and solidifies crew commitment.
"The invited J/70, J/88, J/105, Express 37 and Cal 40 classes must meet a minimum number of entries by the July 31 deadline to ensure they enjoy their own dedicated starts."
A fleet of competitors sails past the signal boat to check in on the first morning of the 2021 Rolex Big Boat Series.

Teams will be assessed a $250 late fee if they pay and register after midnight on July 31. Owners planning to race under ORC (the Offshore Racing Congress's handicap rules) must register by the deadline to avoid late-entry fees, but they have until midnight on August 31 to submit their ORC certificates.
As of this morning, the regatta had received 76 entries.
While we're calling attention to July deadlines, here's a reminder that today is your last chance to register for this Saturday's YRA Encinal Regatta. As of this morning, 48 boats had signed up.
