It is almost impossible to describe in words how I felt after the Mama's Movement. The event took place on May 27th at the Bolder Climbing gym in Calgary, Alberta. I could hardly fall asleep that evening as I thought about all the incredible women that came out. I was inspired by each woman's ability to put themselves out there and try something new. The thoughtful discussion that occurred was uplifting and the mindful session gave me time to reflect on myself. Trust me that was needed.
In all, I think the whole event run by Born to be Adventurous and Wholistic Health YYC has kind of blown my mind. The 50 tickets for the event were sold out a couple weeks before the event. It is hard as a mom to get time away and I was honoured that those women chose our event for their kid free time. I am so thankful that I have professional photos to look back on from Shirley Lynne who does Day in the Life of Mom photography. If your thinking about getting photos done she is seriously worth considering.
Women started showing up at 6:15pm and the Kombucha bar from True Buch was the first order of business with flavours like Cinnamon Kiss, Root Beer and Mojito. Next up were welcomes and a few climbing tips from Zak at Bolder Climbing Gym. Soon after receiving the tips we broke off into groups and started climbing. Women did not have to stay in their groups and after comfort set in women were finding their routes.
By the end of the climbing session I am pretty sure everyones arms were so pumped out we did not even know if we could hold a glass of Kombucha. But… the body is amazing and after heading up into the loft at Bolder we were soon talking about our epic climbing experience over Organic food from Spud Organic and the delicious Choco Broth from High Vibe Health. I think it is pretty safe to say that the Beet Cashew dip, Cauliflower Cheese Bites and Choco Borth were a few favourites.
At 8:45 pm each women had their swag bag with goodies from our sponsors . The epic swag bag included some ultra comfortable and warm snowboard socks from Burton Riglet and all-natural hand cream from Rocky Mountain Soap Company. The hand cream from Rocky Mountain Soap Company was essential for the mindful living session led by local registered psychologist and yoga teacher Sally from Wholistic Health YYC. Let's be honest. Sally was amazing and engaged the group through an interactive mindful living session and meditation. During the meditation, Sally led us all through a calming hand massage with the cream from Rocky Mountain Soap company. And guess what?! I used the calming hand massage this past week when my kids were whining. It totally helped me keep my cool.
We ended the session with a few mindful eating tips and full bellies and hearts. At 9:30 pm the event finished and I was in awe that a short 3 hour mini retreat could be so uplifting and powerful. I met such incredible women. I am incredibly thankful for the volunteers that helped out. I am also so so so thankful for all the sponsors including BioLite, Gogo Bags, Lace Brick Design, Bolder Climbing Gym, Burton Riglet, Spud Organic Foods , Rocky Mountain Soap Company and High Vibe Health.

This week, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation published its latest Minimum Income Standard (MIS), which shows what the public think you need to have a decent standard of living.
It has big implications for what we should all be able to expect from life – food and essentials yes, but also keeping in touch with family and friends and playing an active part in society. The minimum income calculator allows you to see what this means for different family types and in different parts of the country.
i's opinion newsletter: talking points from today
The research, carried out by the Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University for JRF, acts as a barometer of living standards in the UK. Importantly, it's regularly updated as society and the economy changes. But it is about more than just the family balance sheet.
Families would need to spend at least £105 on food each week (Pexels)
A single person needs to earn £18,400 a year before tax to reach the Minimum Income Standard; each parent in a working couple with two children aged four and seven would need to earn £20,000.
For those in London, even more is needed to cover higher rents and childcare, with each parent in a couple needing to earn almost £31,000.
Looking at a family with two working parents and children aged four and seven, they would need to spend at least £105 on food, almost £60 running a car and £19 on energy bills in a week.
This table summarises the outgoings a family of four needs.
Amenities Cost per week
Food £105.71
Alcohol £9.35
Rent £90.14
Clothing £43.08
Water rates £10.31
Council Tax £25.70
Household insurances £2.20
Fuel £19.18
Other housing costs £1.92
Household goods £26.06
Household services £13.00
Childcare £202.88
Personal goods and services £41.75
Motoring £59.94
Other travel costs £24.06
Social and cultural participation £97.35
TOTAL ALL £772.61
As well as covering essentials, the budgets cover things families need to do to take part in society and spend time together. These are not luxuries or extravagant, but small things we might all take for granted – for instance taking the kids to swimming lessons, having an occasional meal out together for a special occasion, or buying a small gift for a birthday.
Can families reach this decent living standard?
We know having enough money to reach this standard is tough – and if you're on a low income, it has become even harder over the last 10 years. This is despite families tightening their belts and shopping around online for better deals. The soaring cost of living has restricted and restrained people who are already struggling to get by.
'Energy bills are over 40 per cent higher than a decade ago'
For instance, energy bills are over 40 per cent higher than a decade ago, despite the internet making it easier to shop around for better tariffs. The average price of a full-time nursery place for a two-year-old is now £229 a week, having risen by well over 50 per cent since 2008.
At the same time, some working parents are being pushed further away from reaching a decent living standard because tax credits to top up low wages have been cut. These cuts have more than outweighed any gains from the National Living Wage and increases in the personal tax allowance.
What does this mean for families?
These are not just figures. They reflect how precarious life can be. We know managing these costs can be stressful and families tell us the strain this can put on family life. Parents often go without to provide for their children, and activities together as a family often have to be sacrificed to cover the essentials. With the six-week school holidays approaching, many parents will be worried about being able to juggle these demands.
'Everyone should have the opportunity to reach a decent living standard'
The Government must allow families to keep more of their earnings. Restoring the work allowances under Universal Credit (the amount you can earn before your tops up for low wages and housing costs are taken away) would help three million struggling families.
Everyone should have the opportunity to reach a decent living standard – and this would loosen the grip high prices place on families' chances of building a better life.

RALEIGH (WTVD) -- Two men from the Triangle are back home after surviving Nepal's deadly earthquake and avalanche that followed on Mt. Everest.
Ron Wahula and John Dodd returned Monday afternoon, flying into RDU International Airport where their wives were anxiously waiting for them.
Wahula called it an epic adventure. He's wanted to climb to Mt. Everest's base camp for years and the day he would've done just that, the deadly 7.8 magnitude earthquake changed his course.
"No worse for the ware and I'm just glad to be home," Wahula told Eyewitness News as he arrived at RDU.
On April 25, he was 17,000 ft. up Mt. Everest heading for base camp. He was less than two miles away when he heard loud rumblings.
"The earthquake started and it was thunderous!" he said.
That 'thunder' was snow breaking loose, creating an avalanche.
"We looked up and it was this giant black and grey cloud coming at us. Our sherpa said 'hit the ground!'"
As the heavy snow came plummeting in their direction, Wahula threw himself into survival mode.
"I kept sticking my head up, trying to figure out how much snow was being dropped, how I was gonna dig out if necessary."
His climbing partner John Dodd will never forget that moment.
"The ground is moving, you're trying to run, and every place you put your foot isn't there," he described.
When the avalanche passed, everyone in their climbing group was accounted for but the base camp where they were headed was wiped out.
"At that point the trip had changed," said Wahula. "It was no longer a fun thing it was a very dangerous place to be."
Dozens of other climbers were killed in the avalanche. Wahule and Dodd were the lucky ones who now had to turn around and go back down. After five days of navigating an Everest that had shifted with many trails destroyed, they made it home.
"We got through it," said Wahula. "My buddy John got through it and I think we're better people for it."
Wahula's daughter is getting married this weekend, making his homecoming even sweeter for his family.
He said he'll now focus on raising money to help relief workers who are currently serving in Nepal.
Even though he missed his goal of reaching Mt. Everest's base camp, Wahula said he will not be going back to try again.
More than 7,000 people were killed in the earthquake. Millions are now homeless with the quake turning much of Nepal into rubble.

Naomi Campbell's Charity Work
By Staff Reports on April 29, 2019 Spotted
SEATTLE — Naomi Campbell is a world-renowned supermodel, actress and philanthropist whose career has spanned over 30 years, with no signs of slowing down. Campbell can still be found on runways at fashion week and in magazine spreads, but what people may not know is that she has also spent many years leading charity work to benefit organizations around the globe.
Naomi Campbell's notable charity work began in 2005, when she founded the charity We Love Brazil, which sells fabrics made by local women to fight poverty in Brazil. Also in 2005, Campbell founded Fashion for Relief, which raised over $1 million for Hurricane Katrina victims, and has provided millions of dollars for other victims around the world, like those of the Haiti and Japan earthquakes in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Campbell was also a personal friend of late South African president and activist, Nelson Mandela.
Recent Charity Efforts
Campbell's charity work in late 2018-2019 has focused on bringing Africa to the forefront of the global fashion scene, and harnessing the talents of its citizens to turn the continent into a global power. As the keynote speaker at the 2019 Forbes Woman Africa Leading Woman Summit, Campbell said, "The African continent is absolutely, one hundred and one percent, the future."
To that end, Campbell has helped to shine a light on African textiles, fabrics and craftsmanship, explaining that the continent is worthy of more global attention and its own edition of Vogue magazine. After the launch of Vogue Arabia, Campbell said Vogue Africa is the natural next step in expanding the Vogue family, and in influencing global fashion, saying "Africa has never had the opportunity to be out there and their fabrics and their materials and their designs be accepted on the global platform. It shouldn't be that way."
Social Media Activism
Naomi Campbell's charity work has infiltrated her Instagram account and her 6.7 million followers. She started the hashtag #NaomiAfrica to document her travels, highlight the joys of the people she meets and bring attention to important causes. On top of her recent fashion photoshoots in South Africa, Campbell has traveled throughout Africa on behalf of many global organizations.
She is garnering attention on social media in order to help lift the entire continent of Africa out of poverty and support them in growing as a global player in the economy. Campbell recently called for donations to Doctors without Borders and Save the Children for relief from Cyclone Idai in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Zambia which has affected over 1.5 million people.
She also uses her Instagram to publicize campaigns for Global Citizen, an organization whose goals are to end extreme poverty around the world by hunting down the systemic causes of poverty and ending them, while encouraging sustainable economic growth in impoverished regions. Campbell has brought attention to issues like education, health and poverty all in partnership with Global Citizen, and her posts have garnered over 45,000 likes. All of her posts are accompanied by facts about the ways that lack of education, inadequate access to health care and wealth inequality negatively affect the countries in Africa, and around the world.
Campbell is a supporter of UNAIDS and its fight to end AIDS by 2030. In 2016, she donated $100,000 to be split between British organization Save the Children and UNAIDS. In her speech at World AIDS Day in New York, she promised she would do what she can to help fight and end AIDS. She recently visited Lesotho on behalf of UNAIDS, and posted her trip, tagging UNAIDS on Instagram with the hashtag "NaomiAfrica."
This year, Campbell has taken to social media more than ever to promote the causes she cares for and is centering the next chapter of her activism around bringing attention and prosperity to all of Africa, the continent she believes is "the future."

Pok Pok The Drinking Food Of Thailand: A Cookbook
Author(s): Andy Ricker
Thai | Instagram Favourites | New Releases
A celebration of the thrill and spirit of Thai drinking food, Andy Ricker's follow-up to Pok Pok brings the same level of authority, with a more laid-back approach. Just as America has salted peanuts, wings, and nachos, Thailand has its own roster of craveable snacks- spicy, salty, and/or sour, they are perfect accompaniments for a few drinks and the company of good friends. Accessible and detailed recipes like phat khii mao (drunkard's stir-fry), kai thawt (Thai-style fried chicken), and thua thawt samun phrai (fried peanuts with kaffir lime, garlic, and chiles) provide all the tools to create the food and the experience of Whiskey Soda Lounge at home.
"In Thailand, you drink while eating and eat while drinking," writes Andy Ricker. Either way, sounds good to me! This fascinating cookbook is a celebration of Thai cooking called "Drinking Food" - think snacks/one meal dishes. But it's not just a cookbook. The recipes are enhanced by gorgeous photos of people preparing and serving the recipes, as well as providing insight into Thai food and culture. Irresistible. Paul, The Book Grocer
ANDY RICKER worked in restaurants all over the world before opening his first restaurant, Pok Pok, in Portland. He has since gone on to open Whiskey Soda Lounge, Pok Pok Noi, and Sen Yai in Portland, and Pok Pok NY in New York City. JJ GOODE has co-written several books including Pok Pok with Andy Ricker, April Bloomfield's A Girl and Her Pig, and Morimoto with Masaharu Morimoto.

During our recent trip to Bali, land of smiling faces, delicious coffee and scrumptious scenery, we enrolled in a cooking class near Ubud, Bali.
Bali Cooking Class Near Ubud at the end of this post!
Since I know very little about Balinese cuisine, this was a great adventure for me and we had the honor of cooking with Chef Puspa Wati directly in her traditional home — set up with a full outdoor kitchen, an impressive wood-burning stove (where she brews her own oil from coconuts), and an outdoor dining pavilion off a garden filled with fragrant plants like vanilla orchard vines, lemon grass, and salam leaves similar to our bays leaves.
Our day started out the way most great cooks start their day: in the market with the freshest produce available.
Due to Bali's rich volcanic soil, they are able to grow a lot, even crops like vanilla which aren't native to Bali but thrive in the tropical weather. The market was full of fragrant produce, and fruits I never tasted before — like snake fruit and rambutan, a relative of the lychee, which looks strange to the Western eye — like something growing in some Star Trek alien garden. Balinese still import some fruits like apple and citrus, but are real supporters of local agriculture.
Next, we headed to the rice fields with the chef's husband, Wayan Subawa who explained traditional rice-growing practices and the recent switch to growing mostly organic rice.
Now 30% of their crops are organic and although they do export some of the rice, the locals save the best rice for themselves. In addition, the Balinese crops are almost exclusively hand-harvested, and this has to do with the way they plant in self-irrigating tiers — I suspect to protect jobs for residents.
After trying our own hands at harvesting rice, we headed back to the family kitchen. Ginger, galangal, lesser galangal and fresh turmeric pictured in the front of the photo are important ingredients for their yellow sauce, which is the base for so many of their dishes — you can think of it as the "marinara sauce" of Bali.
After we chopped furiously as a team, Chef Puspa demonstrated how she turned the ingredients into a paste with an enormous mortar and pestle. Next, our team of eight people got busy cooking our menu starting with clear mushroom soup, chicken sate, chicken in coconut curry, snake bean salad, steamed fish in banana leaves, and ending with deep fried tempe which tasted much like peanut brittle to me, sweet and nutty.
As we sat down to a table bursting with food, our group participants (hailing from around the globe, Chicago, Calgary, Sydney and of course Hoboken) related stories of their favorite foods and travels. We toasted to our hosts who shared so much of their passion for excellent homemade food, opening their beautiful home to us in the true spirit of Balinese hospitality.

Cityscape: Are Libraries Still Relevant?
In the age of e-books and digital information, are libraries still relevant? The answer is a resounding yes if you ask Michael D.D. White and Carolyn McIntyre. The Brooklyn residents are the founders of the group Citizens Defending Libraries. They're our guests on this week's Cityscape, along with the author of a new book about an especially fierce battle against a project that would have demolished the beloved stacks at the main branch of the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue at 42nd Street in Manhattan. We'll also dive into the history of the marble lions that stand guard outside what's officially known as The Stephen A. Schwarzman Building.


The Guild of St George is a charitable Education Trust (registered charity No. 231758) based in England but with a worldwide membership of Companions, which seeks to uphold the values and put into practice the ideas of its founder, John Ruskin (1819–1900).
The Guild of St George is the charity for arts, crafts and the rural economy founded in 1871 by the Victorian art and social critic, John Ruskin (1819-1900). Directed by a Master and a dozen Directors, all of whom are voluntary, it employs an Administrator and one or two other officers to run its daily affairs. There are now over 270 members, who are known as Companions. It is worth noting that a fifth of these Companions live overseas, so the Guild is now becoming international.
Ruskin's aims and aspirations for the Guild are contained in the ninety-six letters he published 'to the workmen and labourers of Great Britain' under the title, Fors Clavigera (1871-84) His principal purpose in founding the Guild was to make Britain a happier place to live in.
Now a charitable Education Trust, the Guild tries to put Ruskin's ideas into practice in the modern world. It owns and supports the Ruskin Collection, a collection of works of art and other precious objects given by Ruskin in 1875 to the City of Sheffield so that working people could see and handle beautiful objects and now in Sheffield's Millennium Gallery. The Collection has been the basis for three major Triennial Exhibitions at the Gallery, all funded by the Guild. A fourth exhibition, The Power of Seeing, to be shown in both London and Sheffield in 2019, has been planned to celebrate Ruskin's bicentenary.
The Guild is currently running a series of activities and events under the title Ruskin in Sheffield, which builds on the links between the Ruskin Collection, the Guild and Sheffield's communities. This began in 2015 with the financial support of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The Guild supports work on the sustainable development of the Wyre Forest, where it owns farmland, orchards and 100 acres of woodland. A new project, Ruskin in the Wyre, begun in 2018 and funded by the HLF, draws attention to the role of the Guild in the history of the forest, while also celebrating craftsmanship.
The Guild owns and lets some properties built in the Arts and Crafts style in the Hertfordshire village of Westmill. It also care for a wildflower meadow, St George's Field, in Sheepscombe, Gloucestershire, maintained on the Guild's behalf by Natural England.
The Guild sometimes collaborates with partners – for example, The Big Draw (which it founded in 2000 as The Campaign for Drawing), a project which encourages drawing for everyone, and 42nd Street, a mental health charity for young people in Manchester. In recent years it has also created forums for the discussion of Ruskinian ideas and practices in modern contexts. Symposia on craftsmanship, the environment, education and economics have attracted engaged audiences. Similar events have also taken place under the Guild's auspices in the United States, Canada and Italy.
Download the 2019 edition of an introductory leaflet about the Guild here.
The Guild of St George is a registered charity, an Education Trust which exists to put Ruskin's ideas into practice.
The 200th anniversary of Ruskin's birth falls in 2019. To mark this landmark year, numerous organisations are presenting Ruskin exhibitions, displays, conferences and activities.
John Ruskin (8 February 1819 – 20 January 1900) was a polymath. As a writer, he commanded international respect. He was an art critic and an art patron, a skilled draughtsman and talented watercolourist, and a fierce critic of prevailing social and political norms.
Ruskin announced the formation of St George's Company, as it was first called, in 1871, but it was not till 1878 that it was properly constituted and given its present name.

What is a Fire Pit for Wood Deck?
A fire pit for a wood deck is essentially a fire pit like any other except that it is designed to prevent the radiant heat from the flame from damaging the wood on your deck. One of the main uses for these types of fire pits is actually for decks that are made out of plastic to prevent the deck from melting. For wood decks, this type of fire pit will prevent scorching and keep the wood looking like new.
Who Needs a Fire Pit for Wood Deck?
If you have a wood deck or a deck made out of any other material which is weaker and you want to enjoy the warmth and tranquility of a fire, then you need a fire pit. Of course, because the materials of your deck in question are either flammable themselves or have a low melting point, you need to make sure that the fire pit is specifically designed to protect your deck from the radiant heat the fire might otherwise generate.
What Makes a Good Fire Pit for Wood Deck?
The answer to this question will depend heavily on what use you want out of your fire pit. If all you want is a fire pit to generate radiant heat, then you will not necessarily need the same kind of fire pit as one that would be used for light cooking – note, this is not meant to imply that a fire pit should be used for grilling. On top of that, the fuel source will also affect this answer – especially if the fire pit in question burns wood, in which case it will also require a fire pit pad.
!!! Never Use Wood-Burning Fire Pit on Wood Deck without Fire Pit Pad !!!
How Do You Find the Best Fire Pit for Wood Deck?
Figuring out which fire pit for wood decks is the best can be a difficult and confusing task. That is why we have put together a list of the 5 best fire pit for a wood deck, highlighting what each one does best – we even include our 2 best picks for fire pit pads for wood-burning fire pits. Then we provide a helpful buyer's guide, so you can find the best fire pit for a wood deck to suit your needs.
Though not the most recent company on our list, Outland Living is very nearly so only having been around for less than a decade. That said, Outland Living does at least specialize in fire pits and fire tables, so you know that the company makes it a point to put all of their focus and energy in appealing to this niche market by manufacturing some of the best products within it. This has further paid off with the Series 401.
By far one of the more impressive qualities about this fire pit is that every component and section is made of high-quality materials.
The burner is made of stainless steel, so it will neither permanently scorch nor be prone to rusting. The frame is made of strong aluminum which is similarly resistant to rust and corrosion while also serving as a decent heatsink. Finally, the exterior of the Series 401 is wrapped in polyethylene resin woven into a wicker design for a nice aesthetic touch.
This will be a consistent point across the board for our list of the best fire pit for wood deck specifically because each source will provide its own benefits and drawbacks. For the Outland Lining Series 401, propane is the fuel source and this makes it both extremely convenient as well as versatile. This fuel source will allow you to potentially use the Outland Living Series 401 for light cooking while offering an easy way to refuel it as well as a simple hookup – especially compared to some other fuel sources.
Christopher Knight Home may be the officially licensed dealer of the Crawford Outdoor fire pit, but the two are actually distinct, though symbiotic, entities. That said, both organizations have some of the oldest histories on our list providing them plenty of opportunities to figure what works for the fire pit market. That said, it should be noted that neither the manufacturer nor the dealer specializes in fire pits or fire tables, though they still produce a high-quality product.
There are some fire pit for a wood deck that are fairly easy to manage, and then there is the Christopher Knight Home Crawford Outdoor fire pit. This convenience begins at square one as this is actually one of the few fire pits for a wood deck that we saw which requires no assembly. Even some simpler fire pits require at least a modicum of assembly. Finally, as a propane burning fire pit, the Christopher Knight Home Crawford Outdoor is easy to both hook up as well as refuel without having to worry about either a mess or professional install.
Though this is not the only fire pit for a wood deck on our list to use propane as a fuel source, it is arguably one of the best to do so.
For instance, with fire pit using propane as a fuel source, the Christopher Knight Home Crawford Outdoor gets the hottest at 40000 BTU. On top of that, this is also one of the few fire pit that provides you with 3 different settings, so you can get the size and heat flame that you want. On top of that, this is an electric starting fire pit, so you do not have to worry about collecting tinder or applying any accelerant to start your fire.
Out of all of the manufacturers of a fire pit that we reviewed, Real Flame is the oldest and most storied. In fact, this company was founded explicitly to provide a fire accelerant for both indoor and outdoor fire pits or fireplaces. From those humble origins, the company expanded to making products that utilize their original gel fuel and have kept their laser-sharp focus on this market exclusively. This specialization allows them to provide just what you need without anything that you do not.
One of the best and also a potentially difficult qualities of the Real Flame T9620NG-GLG is that it is the only fire pit for a wood deck that we reviewed which is fueled by natural gas.
On the positive side, natural gas is an incredibly clean-burning fuel source that will not produce any of the fumes associated with propane nor smoke associated with wood. On top of that, natural gas is also the least expensive fuel source for a fire pit that we saw.
That said, you will need to hire a professional to install a natural gas line to the Real Flame T9620NG-GLG, increasing the total cost of the already most expensive fire pit that we reviewed.
Though it may require a professional installation, the savings and quality of fuel provided by natural gas are not the only benefits of having the Real Flame T9620NG-GLG. For instance, this fire pit for wood deck actually gets hotter than any other we reviewed by putting out 50000 BTU – though it should be understood that this does not necessarily translate to the greatest amount of radiant heat.
On top of that, this is the only fire pit for wood deck we reviewed that features a body made out of concrete which will not only provide excellent insulation but will also stand up to the effects of weather much better than the different types of metal most of the other fire pit for wood deck are made out of.
Catalina Creations is a unique company on our list in that it is not actually its own corporation. Instead, Catalina Creations is actually a brand owned by the wholesale distributor Asia Direct, Inc. On top of that, the brand itself is only a little more than a year old. However, this brand does at least specialize in manufacturing fire pit for wood deck exclusively as well as accessories for that market. Even better, this is the ideal fire pit for a wood deck to keep you warm.
One of the best things about the Catalina Creations fire pit is that it is one of the few wood burning fire pit that we reviewed. While this does come with a few caveats, a wood burning fire pit will provide the most radiant heat compared to other fuel sources. On top of that, using wood as a fuel source will also give off that nice smokey smell if you are interested in that quality. Finally, using wood as a fuel can potentially be the least expensive fuel source if you are willing to find and chop it yourself.
While using wood as a fuel source will ultimately allow the Catalina Creations to inherently generate more radiant heat than any other fuel source we reviewed, the Catalina Creations goes a step further by using a material which only enhances that quality: cast iron.
Essentially, cast iron is an incredibly dense material that also conducts heat better than most. This allows the Catalina Creations fire pit to radiate the heat from the flame to you and anyone else sitting around the fire pit better and will even do so for a while after the flame has gone out.
Sunnydaze is another product line on our list that is not actually its own company but is instead a specialized brand made by a larger manufacturer. However, it is not part of a true wholesaler company like some of the others that we reviewed and is instead one brand among many belonging to Serenity Health and Home Decor, a distributor of many different types of products. This means that the company does not specialize in fire pits or fire tables, though they have been around for 2 decades, so they likely understand what makes a good product.
The Sunnydaze is another fire pit that relies on wood as a fuel source. This means that you can expect this fire pit to put out more radiant heat than those products which use either propane or natural gas. This also allows you to keep overhead costs down by potentially collecting and preparing the wood you will burn yourself rather than having to purchase it. That said, you will need to also purchase a fire pit pad to prevent the wood burning Sunnydaze from scorching your wood deck.
Beyond using a fairly convenient fuel source, the Sunnydaze has another advantage over the other products that we reviewed. It is the least expensive fire pit on our list. That said, the low price of this fire pit does not necessarily mean that you should expect a poor quality product. For instance, this is the largest fire pit that we reviewed. On top of that, the Sunnydaze is also the lightest product on our list. This makes the Sunnydaze best for 3 different categories – though it may not last as long if you do not regularly maintain it.
Like some of the other products on our list, Infinite Heat Solutions is not actually a company in its own right and is instead a brand owned by a specialized manufacturer. While this can drive the price of the product up a bit, it does at least provide you with the comfort of knowing the product was made by a specialist who understands what makes its niche good and what qualities to avoid. This focus has allowed Infinite Heat Solutions to ensure that their fire pit pad for wood deck performs better than most – in fact, it is the editor's choice best-performing fire pit pad for a wood deck that we saw.
While this fire pit pad is not rated to handle weight being placed directly on top of it and is just a hair under other products in terms of its maximum heat capacity, it still offers a specific benefit that we feel is more important: durability. Since you are already paying for a fire pit, you do not want to have to shell out too much more for the corresponding fire pit pad.
The Infinite Heat Solutions uses a combination carbon filler and lava rocks to provide a solid initial barrier to absorb the heat from your wood burning fire pit. On top of that, the base of the Infinite Heat Solutions fire pit pad is made of aluminum providing another layer of insulation. Even better, all of the materials used are completely waterproof and will stand up to the rigors of regular use better than any other fire pit pad we saw.
As the name implies, Northland Online is a company that makes use of the only online business model. This benefits you in that the company is able to avoid paying for expensive overhead costs and can then transfer those savings to you. This is precisely what Northland Online does, as this the least expensive fire pit pad for a wood deck that we reviewed. Though, it should be noted that Northland Online does not specialize in fire pit pads or even fire pit related products.
Whenever you are looking for a fire pit pad, you need to make sure that the product is rated to be able to handle your fire pit. Thankfully, the Northland Online fire pit pad offers the best ratings for some of the most important categories relevant to this market.
This fire pit pad is able to withstand temperatures of up to 1500 degrees F – a full 300 degrees F hotter than a fire pit. On top of that, this fire pit pad can also support the fire pit for wood deck directly with a maximum weight capacity of 350 pounds.
The sheer number of materials used for fire pits for wood decks can be a bit daunting as they all have their own unique benefits and drawbacks. On top of that, the different materials used will often be applied either to specific parts of the fire pit or for a particular purpose as opposed to an entire component. The issue becomes even trickier when you throw fire pit pads into the mix as the materials used for those products may be the same as for the fire pit itself, but they are usually intended to serve entirely different functions. As such, this is by far one of the most, if not the most, important consideration to make when choosing a fire pit for a wood deck.
While technically resin can be made out of plant materials, the most common type of resin used for outdoor products is actually made out of a synthetic polymer called polyethylene. This material is a bit tricky to gauge when used with a fire pit largely because, if exposed to direct flame or high heat, it will not be able to withstand the stress of the temperatures. In fact, polyethylene resin has the lowest melting point out of any other material reviewed. As such, if you purchase a fire pit that includes resin as part of its material composition, then you will need to make sure that there are one or more insulating layers of material between the resin and the flame or that the flame is produced in such a way that it does not generate a great deal of radiant heat.
Steel is a fairly common material used for fire pits for a number of reasons. For one, this material has a fairly high melting point and it is also one of the stronger materials used for fire pits. This has led to steel being used for both the body, the frame, and even the burner for certain kind of fire pits. Even better, this material is actually one of the lighter materials used for fire pits. That said, steel has a major issue when it comes to liquids and is more prone to rust or corrosion when exposed to the elements than any other material reviewed. This is especially troublesome when the body is made of steel.
Concrete may not necessarily be the most common material used for fire pits, but that is not due to its effectiveness. Instead, concrete is a lesser used material for fire pits primarily because it is exceedingly heavy. That said, this may be one of the best materials to use for a fire pit because it is such a bad transducer of heat. As such, concrete fire pits will remain cooler to the touch under hotter temperatures and will generally scorch before they catch fire – and will never melt under normal conditions. The one instance when concrete is not ideal is if you have a fire pit for radiant heat purposes as concrete will retain heat better than most materials.
Cast iron could easily be considered the ideal material to be used for most purposes when it comes to fire pits. That is not to suggest that cast iron is without its limitations, but it is definitely one of the better materials for all applicable uses of a fire pit. For instance, if you want a fire pit for the purpose of generating radiant heat, there is no other material that can even come close to comparing. Cast iron will absorb heat from the flame similarly to concrete, but once it reaches a conductive capacity, it will then radiate that heat outwards – and will continue to do so for up to an hour after the fire has gone out, depending on the temperature of the flame.
Depending on the fire pit, aluminum can actually serve a couple functions, but it should be stated that it is generally not used for the body. Instead, aluminum is far more likely to be found as the material used for a fire pit frame as it is incredibly strong, resists the environmental stresses of water better than most, and also serves as an excellent heat sink. In fact, not only is this a fairly common material used for the frames of a fire pit, it is also one of the most common materials used for a fire pit pad used to protect wood decks from wood burning fire pits.
As we can see, there is not going to be a single fire pit for a wood deck that satisfies all people – especially considering the subtle but numerous differences between the products. If you are looking for a fire pit that is clean, easy, and versatile, you are unlikely to need the same kind of fire pit that someone who is simply looking for a basic product that will throw off plenty of radiant heat is.
For those of you in the former camp, we recommend the Outland Living fire pit. While it is not strictly the most powerful in terms of heat, 35000 BTUs is certainly hot enough for most situations. When you also consider that this fire pit is made of quality products from top to bottom and features an 8" glass countertop rim, it offers great versatility at a comparably reasonable price.
Of course, if you were looking for a fire pit for a wood deck to actually throw off enough heat to keep you warm, you will need to look at one that burns wood. For this case, we recommend the Catalina Creations. While it may be a bit undersized compared to some of the other products on our list, the fact that its basin is made of cast iron means that there are few fire pits which can compare to its radiant heat capabilities – just be sure to get a fire pit pad since it burns wood.

You would think that it would be hard to start thinking about transportation for hobby. I mean, there are like 6 billion people here, and nobody really has a small talk subject ready for transportation the same way they do about weather. When people talk about transportation, they are not really engaged to small talk, but preferably they are trying to find a scapegoat for why their project is late, sometimes the project being the individuals themselves who are late for meetings, work, children, or something similar, which they try to avoid anyways. Luckily I had time to think about this little intro while I was waiting for a bus for 45 minutes.
Dublin bus just raised their ticket fares a few months ago. Reasoning behind it was, that people would start using more buses, which is good for environment. Hmmm. There is something I would like to point out, but it seems they are right. Education and health is only appreciated if you want to pay money for it. Look at all those pharmaceutical companies which are getting billions of euros, just for promoting health. So if they would double their fares people wouldn't be using anything that buses.
I think people use buses when they are on time and are helpful for people trying to move themselves from a location A to a location B. Those yellow things seem to achieve that goal sufficiently, and local people here know that those timetables that are shown on bus stops are really for movies. Because, wouldn't you, if you were a movie producer or a director making a movie in Dublin, want to have a bus stop for the scene involving a timetable? That's apparently the sole reason for those markers. It's also easier to find a bus stop.
Going in and out of buses is fairly an easy process. When going in you throw some money in a box and tell the driver how much there is in the box, and the driver prints you an ticket stating that amount. Someone, more intelligent and creative than I am, might find a way to abuse this. I'm just trying to have correct amount of small change readily available at all times. I'm very good at it. I never have large amounts of change.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review
Mike Henriquez
SHOW LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens INFO
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Info
Warner Bros. Interactive Enterta
The Force is strong with TT Fusion.
I'm a huge Star Wars fan. I've read the books and comics, collected the toys, and watched the movies countless times—yes, even the prequel trilogy—and I've already bought tickets to Star Wars Celebration 2017 in Orlando, FL. I have seen The Force Awakens in 2D, IMAX 3D, and D-Box (for the unfamiliar, it's a version where your seat moves and vibrates while the action happens on screen). I love the LEGO games so needless to say I was stoked that there was going to be a LEGO game based on The Force Awakens. When I thought about it further, my excitement lessened a bit after thinking back to the previous LEGO games based on Star Wars, remembering that those games were based around both of the trilogies. I wondered whether one movie would be enough to carry a LEGO game, let alone make it worth the full $60 asking price. But my worries were mostly assuaged.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the newest installment that's based on the blockbuster movie from Disney and Lucasfilm. As with past games in the franchise, the movie is broken down into mini-episodes of key elements from the film. You'll play through levels with new heroes Poe Dameron and BB-8, Rey and Finn, along with classic trilogy heroes Han Solo and Chewbacca. If you've seen the film, you pretty much know what to expect, but with that layer of LEGO charm and fun mixed in.
The first addition that's completely unexpected in LSWTFA is story missions that expand on plot threads that were mentioned during the film and other Star Wars stories based around non-key players that had brief screen time. You'll get to play as Poe on a mission to rescue Admiral Ackbar and play as Han and Chewie hunting and catching Rathtars on an outer-rim planet. Who would've thought you'd be introduced to official Star Wars story content in a LEGO game?
Another new, exciting addition to the usual LEGO gameplay is Blaster Battles. At certain points in a level you'll run into an enemy encampment where you'll need to take cover from a barrage of Stormtrooper fire. This is the first time that LEGO has introduced a third-person, cover-based shooter mechanic, which works like a light, bloodless Gears of War. You'll pop out from behind cover to mow down waves of enemies using your blaster, thermal detonators, or even the environment to take out enemies with heavy weapons.
Space combat is nothing new to the LEGO Star Wars franchise, but aside from the standard on-rails shooting segments, they've also added several open areas where you can fully maneuver your ship and engage in some serious dogfighting. The developers at TT Fusion likely took a page out of the playbook from DICE's Star Wars Battlefront when crafting these stages. Piloting ships like a TIE Fighter and especially the Millennium Falcon reminded me of the many classic Star Wars games that have released over the years. It's fun, fast, and can be very satisfying. My only gripe is that there's seemingly and strangely no option to invert the flight controls.

Destroying everything in your path is par for the course in any LEGO game, as much as rounding up specific blocks to build something to advance your progress. Where the devs have expanded on this formula is an upgraded mechanic called Multi-Builds. Now at certain points during stages you'll have the puzzling task of needing to use the same pile of bricks to build different objects. Some might simply allow you to proceed to the next area while others will require you to complete puzzles to acquire specific objects, open doors, or give you the elusive mini-kit. It's nice to have the variety of building a regular LEGO object, then destroying it again to build something else. It might seem a bit redundant at first, but in the later levels they become essential to figure out level progression.
You might not feel as impressed with the game's visuals, especially if you try to compare them to other games in the WB portfolio, like Batman: Arkham Knight. But if you've played any of the previous LEGO games whether it be LEGO Marvel's Avengers or LEGO Jurassic World, you'll see the subtle visual improvements that evolve with each installment. The environments are better textured and I don't think C-3PO has ever looked more shiny and golden in any previous game. Overall puzzle design and world layout flow perfectly and LSWTFA is easily the best-looking LEGO game yet.
For LEGO completionists the grind is absolutely still here. From an abundance of gold bricks to over 200 unlockable characters and vehicles that can be used in the free-play modes and expanded story levels, it's all here if you're willing and able to put in the time. For those of you that like to use the red brick cheats for the fast builds or stud multipliers, they are now accessible right from the character select wheel and can be accessed early on if you're able to locate them within each story level.
Like many other game publishers that crank out annual game releases, Warner Bros. consistently churns out LEGO games across all platforms. It's gotten to the point that I've decided to skip some of the big AAA annual installment releases from EA, Activision, and Ubisoft, because I feel like I'm playing the same thing over and over again. But for some reason I don't feel the same way about WB's LEGO games and LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a testament to that. Moreover, it is a complete Star Wars game. The new Blaster Battles, Multi-Build evolved puzzles, and the flying stages are sheer fun to be had by all and made me feel a bit nostalgic for other classic Star Wars games. The Force is clearly strong with TT Fusion.

The purchase of a home is one of the largest purchases you will make. It is important that you know as much as possible about this purchase. A home inspector is trained to be able to evaluate the home in detail and give you a report that will allow you to make a good decision about purchasing the home. An inspection report will describe the home in detail and will highlight the areas that are problems. A home inspection is a good idea even if you are already a homeowner.
We all get physical checkups - why not give your home a checkup? Many homeowners are living in homes that have serious problems that if identified early can save considerable repair costs. Water leaks can cause serious and costly problems, but if they are caught early can be repaired at little cost. A home inspection will also give you an outline of the routine maintenance that needs to be done to the home. Home sellers will want an inspection to find problems that a buyer's inspection would have found. The seller can then make the repairs prior to the home going on the market.
Each home inspection company has their own pricing structure. Inspection fees vary based on the area of the country and the type, size, and features of the home or building, but a typical inspection fee for a 2,000 square foot home starts at $455. The cost of the inspection should not be the only consideration for hiring an inspector. A good inspection that informs you of all the potential problems in a home is worth the money. A bargain inspector may give you an inferior report. Once you have purchased the home, it may be very costly to repair problems that were omitted from the inspection report. Click here for Westharbour's pricing information.
We are happy to provide a detailed overview of the inspection process, and answer any questions you might have about the inspection report.


The selection of earrings available today is astounding. In addition to traditional designs and styles that date back to ancient times, you have access to virtually thousands of more contemporary options. Of course, earrings are also made from a variety of metals, gemstones, and other embellishments. With so many choices, you can purchase something vibrant, bold, and ornate if wanted or perhaps go with simple yet elegant gold ball stud earrings. Read more.
There was a time when seeing a man wearing earrings was disturbing to some but today, millions of men from all walks of life enjoy this type of jewelry just as much as women do. Although most men do not wear dangling type earrings, many do enjoy gold ball stud earrings.
Compared with other earring styles, gold ball stud earrings actually offer a number of unique benefits as outlined below.
�	These earrings are available in both white and yellow gold. In fact, ball studs are made from sterling silver, platinum, and titanium although gold is the most popular choice of metal.
�	You will also discover many different sizes of gold ball stud earrings. While there are additional options, sizes 2 to 10 millimeters are most common. Gold ball stud earrings of 2 millimeters are extremely small whereas 10 millimeters are quite large.
�	These stud earrings are also available in different qualities of fineness, which equates to the degree of pure gold. Referred to as �karat� or �fineness�, it is important to understand that for any gold jewelry, which includes gold ball stud earrings, higher karat numbers are comprised of more pure gold. However, the higher the karat number goes, the softer the gold becomes.
The following are karats used most often for crafting jewelry to include gold ball stud earrings. Just remember that each karat has a specific fineness percentage. In simple terms, this is the amount of pure gold with the remaining percentage being the composition of other metals.

One year on – tribute to health care workers.
Richard Wyatt March 9, 2021 March 9, 2021 history
Twelve months on from the very first local case of Covid-19, health and care leaders in Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire have paid a heartfelt tribute to staff who went the extra mile during the pandemic.
Last March saw thousands of NHS workers across the region, along with their colleagues from local councils, voluntary groups and countless other key organisations, rise up to meet the challenge of coronavirus, with many embodying a war-time spirit of helping out wherever help was needed.
Now, almost a year to the day later, the actions of these courageous and determined frontline workers and those staff who've worked behind the scenes to support the emergency response are being publicly acknowledged.
Tracey Cox, Chief Executive, Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "It is only right that, on the first anniversary of this heart-wrenching pandemic, we once again acknowledge and say thank you to all those who have played their part in steering us through an unbelievably challenging year.
"Coronavirus has been brutal for all involved and I know that many of our colleagues bear the emotional, physical and mental scars of the last 12 months, but their courage and determination in the face of constant uncertainty will never be forgotten.
"I would also like to take this opportunity to recognise the sacrifices made by our
local communities who, by following government guidance, have helped slow the
spread of the virus."
As was seen across the entire country, the emergence of Covid-19 in the first part of 2020 had huge implications for local health and care services.
Almost overnight, services at the region's three large hospitals – the Great Western Hospital in Swindon, Salisbury District Hospital and the Royal United Hospital in Bath – were scaled back and staff redeployed to prepare for the rapid influx of people needing urgent and emergency care as a result of coronavirus.
GPs quickly followed suit with all of the region's 94 practices taking the majority of services online, with video calls becoming the default appointment format and walk- ins stopping in favour of telephone-based triage and assessment.
In the first weeks of the pandemic, GPs were carrying out more than 3,000 video appointments a week – a 200 per cent increase on what was happening pre-Covid.
Elsewhere, healthcare staff were redeployed from their usual place of work to support colleagues working in alternative settings.
Charlotte Jones, Chartered Physiotherapist with Wiltshire Health and Care, who left her hospital-based role to help colleagues visiting patients at home, said: "The whole of Wiltshire Health and Care responded amazingly.
"Everyone has adapted how they work, and completely changed how services are provided, and I look forward to being able to re-join my other colleagues in the future."
The pandemic also led to the introduction of innovative methods of care, such as drive-thru clinics and dedicated home visits to shielding patients.
Behind the scenes, cross-organisational working helped pave the way for the initial development of the new BSW integrated care system, which will see local health and care providers work together to take joint responsibility for the wellbeing of the local population.

Emerging Technology and a Reimagined U.S.-EU Partnership

The recently announced EU proposal is a welcome development that recognizes the economic dimensions of great power competition.
Blog Post by Guest Blogger for Net Politics
Erica D. Borghard is a senior fellow with the New American Engagement Center at the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security at the Atlantic Council.
This week, the Financial Times reported that the European Commission and the European Union's (EU) high representative for foreign policy will issue a paper proposing a reimagined partnership between the EU and the United States to address a range of shared challenges, especially those posed by China. This proposal echoes similar discussions about the merits of a partnership of "techno-democracies," as well as efforts spearheaded by the United Kingdom to build a D-10 alliance of democracies. This EU initiative reportedly spans a wide range of topics, such as technology, trade, and COVID-19 policy. There are significant gaps to be bridged on a number of fronts, especially data privacy [PDF] laws and regulation of private sector technology companies. Nonetheless, this is welcome news—with some caveats.
This proposal contains a number of positive elements. First, a European-driven effort to revive the transatlantic partnership is a seemingly unintended consequence of the Trump administration's trade wars, which included the imposition of tariffs against EU members, and its "America first" approach to diplomacy. Fear among some in Washington that the Trump administration's actions would indelibly damage American ties with European allies appear to have been misplaced. However, a critical task facing the incoming Biden administration will be to discern how to work with European partners to reimagine the transatlantic relationship in light of changes in the strategic context, such as uncertainty about the role of America in the world after the Trump administration and changes in how Europe perceives the challenge posed by China.
Net Politics
CFR experts investigate the impact of information and communication technologies on security, privacy, and international affairs. 2-4 times weekly.
Second, the EU initiative appropriately frames the crux of great power competition in economic rather than military terms, with emerging technology playing an essential role. Efforts by China and Russia to craft alternative international institutions, exert leadership in existing ones, or form new agreements without the United States, have primarily taken place in the economic and technology realms. Even a cursory examination illuminates this trend—the recent signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) between Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members and China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand; China and Russia's efforts to create alternatives to the SWIFT financial messaging system; or China's efforts to promote new international telecommunications standards for 5G. It's fitting, therefore, that the EU has proposed this new partnership. Typically, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is seen as the bedrock of the transatlantic alliance, and members states certainly confront shared threats in the area of emerging technology. But, as a military alliance, NATO is not well-suited to address these types of challenges. This hopefully reflects a shared transatlantic understanding that economic statecraft will be prominently featured in grand strategies for great power competition.
That said, there are also areas for concern. This proposal appears to comprise a diverse set of issues that will be difficult to resolve under one umbrella. Even for technology, the EU paper proposes a number of initiatives, including digital regulation, anti-trust, limiting foreign investment, and addressing cyber threats. This creates the risk that, in aiming to get everything done, nothing will get done, especially when there could be competing priorities and interests across issues. The reality is that not every emerging technology issue should be tackled by a U.S.-EU partnership. For instance, it would be wise for the United States to distinguish between primarily national security and intelligence issues, such as cyber threats, which would be better addressed through existing military (NATO) and intelligence (Five Eyes) alliances, versus economic ones (such as antitrust regulation).
Of greater concern is that this proposal's overarching framework is based on a partnership of like-minded democracies. This risks muddying the waters between economic and political issues. While there are certainly liberal democratic values that lie at the heart of many of the technology policy positions of the United States and Europe, such as privacy and speech protections, leveraging democracy as the partnership's fundamental organizing principal risks alienating potential partners with overlapping economic interests. In turn, this feeds China's ability to frame the global narrative as a contest between autocratic and democratic systems, enabling Beijing to pull away potential collaborators to a U.S.-EU partnership, such as Hungary. Moreover, framing the entire partnership in terms of a confrontation with China risks vitiating the opportunity for collaboration with China in areas of shared interest—even if they could be narrow.
Finally, there are two critical topics pertinent to emerging technology that appear to be absent from this proposed U.S.-EU partnership but should be urgently prioritized. One is how governments can promote the competitiveness and global market share of Western firms and continue to shape international standards for emerging technologies. This will not only require paying careful attention to technical standards development by international bodies but, more importantly, cultivating partnerships between governments and private firms and increasing investment in research and development in critical technology areas. Another issue is resilience. Great power competition will likely involve disruptive events, whether due to cyberattacks, economic recessions, or pandemics. The private sector, as well as regulatory bodies in both the United States and Europe, have made notable efforts to develop cybersecurity resilience frameworks to anticipate, withstand, and rapidly recover in the wake of disruptive cyber events. However, these efforts have largely focused on the financial services sector and have not been coordinated at the governmental level by the United States and EU. A broader and common effort to harmonize resilience frameworks, especially given the interdependence of the transatlantic economies, should be an integral element of a revitalized transatlantic economic partnership.

Despite the flaws in this latest announcement, the EU's recognition of the economic dimensions of great power competition is a positive development, and the United States should respond to this call to action and work with transatlantic partners to develop a shared strategy to confront their contemporary challenges.

Wayne's newest hot spot 118 North will be rockin' Saturday, February 9 when two of Philly Folk Fest's hardest-hitting bands – Meghan Cary With Analog Gypsies and Scott Wolfson & Other Heroes – head to the Main Line for this one-night-only performance.
Nationally-acclaimed recording artist Cary will be marking her 118 North debut by performing for the first time this year with her full band, which features Peter Farrell (keys and vocals), Bob Beach (harmonica, flute and vocals), Stacy Weathers (banjo,) Jocko MacNelly (bass), and Jimmy Coleman (drums).
The singer-songwriter is currently supporting her latest album Sing Louder, which debuted among the top 10 on the Folk Charts and is being played at mainstream radio in more than 40 markets throughout the country and in Canada.
One of her biggest supporters is radio host John Platt from WFVU 90.7 FM. He says, "These times require songs of compassion and commitment and Meghan Cary has several, especially 'Sing Louder' and 'Responsibility', which inspire us to reach for our higher selves. And Meghan sings them with such infectious joy you can't resist joining in."
Cary, whose debut album earned her Billboard magazine's "Critic's Choice Award" for "Best Newcomer," is one of the folk industry's most sought-after artists. Her raw honesty and ability to connect with her audience through high-energy tunes, masterful storytelling, and deeply personal lyrics has captivated fans for more than two decades. Now, with the recent release of her latest album, Sing Louder, she has inspired others to raise their voices with her to create an authentic connection through music.
Scott Wolfson & Other Heroes has also earned rave reviews, accolades and airplay throughout the Northeast over the past six years and two albums. Described as "welding folk, blues, country, Broadway, and rock'n' roll into a smart, rootsy, compelling sound," the band has been lighting up stages with their high-energy brand of multifaceted Americana music since 2011.
Their latest record Welcoming The Flood, was released in 2016 and was hailed as "a tight, fast musical tapestry" by No Depression.
118 North is located at 118 N. Ave. Wayne, PA. Tickets to the show are $10 in advance and $12 at the door (although advance tickets are highly encouraged). To purchase tickets, visit https://www.118northwayne.com.

Have you noticed that our Dream Greens baby kale does not look a whole lot like any other kale in the produce section? There is a reason for that.
It starts with the seed. We grow a smoother leaf variety than the super curly versions you might be used to. Farmers have traditionally expected this kind of kale to be sweetest after the first frost of the the season, but the folks at AeroFarms have figured out how to get that sweetness that used to be luck, every harvest.
By controlling the nutrition, light, water and stress (think of it as exercise for baby greens), they grow baby kale that is sweet and snappy, never bitter or tough. FInd out more about how all this works here.
Even if you think you are just not a kale fan, give it a try and let us know what you think! It would not be the first time we have converted people who had written kale off for good.
We cannot think of a recipe where this sweet, tender green will not belong. But in case you need ideas, we have got you covered.
Baby Kale for breakfast? Try our Apple & Kale All-the-Time Smoothie.
Kale for lunch? Throw together this Sweet Baby Kale Caesar.
Kale for dinner? Whip up this Kale Pesto Pasta.
