The story behind the story…
Read to the end for an exclusive first look at Finding Forever!
Flashback with me to around 2000-2001. I was living in Jacksonville, Florida. Dan was still in the US Navy and stationed onboard the USS John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier. He was deployed for most of the three years he was on the ship, leaving me alone with two kids, two dogs and a full-time job I did from home.
Good times, those years were… So good I don't remember a lot of it. It's all a blur of trying to get through each day without losing track of a dog or a kid or getting fired from my job. I was one of the first people I knew to work remotely for a company in another state. There were a lot of adjustments to be made and deadlines to be met and kids to feed and bathe and play with and… Well, you get the picture. My most (in)famous story from those days was the time I hired a babysitter to watch the kids and told them I was leaving, only to walk around the back of the house to crawl into the office window to work without them knowing I was in the house. Desperate times required desperate measures. I was damned happy—and lucky—to have that job for 16 fantastic years, working with and for great people who I truly loved. But working from home with young children, crazy dogs and a deployed husband wasn't something I'd want to do again any time soon
During that chaotic time in my life, Jack Harrington came to live with me. Thankfully, he didn't need to be fed or bathed (not that I would've minded—LOL). But he took up residence in my mind as a real person with a story to tell. Way back when I went to college for journalism, my parents put up with people telling them they were "crazy" to support me wanting to be a "writer" because "no one makes any money writing." They were incredibly supportive of me pursuing the one thing I was fairly good at, or so my teachers told me. At first, the doubters were right. I made $198 a week after taxes at my first job out of college as a newspaper reporter. My rent at that time was $250, which was a lot when you only made $198 a week. I waitressed on the weekends to supplement my income. I always said I hoped to write a book someday, and no one wanted to see that happen more than my parents did. It was during the aforementioned chaotic time that my dad famously said, "What're you doing from three to six am? Can't you write then?" Hahaha. He was funny. My parents never gave up encouraging this dream of mine, which was so far out of sight during those years as to be laughable.
But Jack… He stuck around, demanding I write his book, which I did in fits and starts for YEARS. I have handwritten notebook pages from those first early tries that are just so bad I laugh every time I look at them. I kept coming back to that story about the architect whose wife suffers devastating injuries in a mysterious accident that leaves him the single father to three teenage daughters as well as the co-owner of a thriving architectural practice. The entire Treading Water series unfolds around a single event that reverberates for years through multiple families and changes numerous lives forever.
When my mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003, I got serious about writing Jack's story, and I'm glad she got to see an early version of the first four chapters before she died in August of 2004. My very first book, Treading Water, was written and rewritten and messed with a million times before I finally published it and two sequels, Marking Time and Starting Over, at the end of 2011, more than six years after I'd completed the first draft of Treading Water. In one of the truly great surprises of my career, readers immediately began asking for more of a story that began in Marking Time, which led to Coming Home at the end of 2012. At the time, I thought, wow, I'm finally done with this story that started my writing journey more than ten years earlier at that point. But oh no, my readers again told me otherwise. For SEVEN YEARS you've been asking me to write one more book in that series, featuring Jack's third daughter, Maggie. Some days I would get four messages asking about Maggie's book before I had my first sip of coffee. (I call that job security.)
Finally, after all these years of living with these characters, I finished Maggie's book last Friday—Finding Forever, the fifth and FINAL book in the series that started everything for me twenty years ago. Last week, I wrote scenes from Jack Harrington's point of view, and what an exciting full-circle moment that was! I know him as well as I know myself. He took up residence all those years ago, and he's stuck around to keep an eye on what we built together. Jack has taken me on a magic-carpet ride I never could've anticipated back when I was crawling in the window to work a day job I thought I'd need to keep until my son graduated from college (next year!). If you've ever wondered what the HTJB, Inc. company name on all my books stands for it is: House That Jack Built. He and I… we did it together.
This backstory is why I'm sooooo excited about Finding Forever. In all the years I spent answering questions about this book, my reply was always the same: As soon as I have a story for Maggie, I promise you I'll write it. And then about a year ago, I had the story, and the writing of it reminded me an awful lot of the elated feeling I had when I finally wrote Treading Water after years of thinking about Jack's story. If you haven't read this series yet, I hope you'll check it out before the April 14 release of Maggie's long-awaited book. I've written "bigger" series that've gotten way more attention than Treading Water ever will, but there'll never be another series like this one for me, the one that started it all.

Thanks for asking me to write Maggie's story. Writing it took me back to the joy I felt while writing Treading Water. The thrill of finishing Maggie's book last Friday was every bit as exciting fifteen years after writing The End for the first time. I think those of you who've been yearning for this book will be happy with Finding Forever. I know I am.

TROY students rally for increased state funding for higher education
News | April 9, 2019
TROY students joined other students from the state's 14 public universities for Higher Education Day on April 4.
Troy University students joined college students from the state's 14 public universities in Montgomery on Thursday to rally for increased funding for higher education.
The Higher Education Partnership of Alabama's annual Higher Education Day began with a parade through the streets of downtown to the Alabama Statehouse and later gave students the opportunity to hear from and interact with members of the State Legislature and Gov. Kay Ivey during lunch on the lawn of the State Capitol.
Gordon Stone, executive director of the partnership, said spreading awareness of the impact of higher education is a key part of the message of Higher Education Day.
"Higher Education has a $20 billion economic impact on the State of Alabama," Stone said. "We have 1.5 million Alabamians employed in the 12 counties where our universities are located. We only have 4.8 million people in the state, so think about the economic engines that universities help to create and are a part of. We just want to remind our leaders that when they make those budget decisions to consider the value and impact of pre-K through Ph.D."
The Partnership advocates for the state's public universities to receive one-third of the appropriations from the Education Trust Fund, while leaving a full two-thirds of the funding to go to Pre-K through 12th grade education. Stone said the state has allowed its appropriations to public universities to fall below 27 percent.
TROY Student Government Association President Gus McKenzie said Higher Education Day offers the opportunity for students' voices to be heard by state officials.
"I think it is important for students to realize that their voices can be heard by those who run our government," McKenzie said. "The education budget is not split the way we would like it to be so we are here today to ask for that one-third of the budget for higher education."
Having representation from all of state's public universities at Higher Education Day activities is important.
"I think it is great to see all of the colleges and students come together and work together in an effort to bring about positive change," McKenzie said. "If it were just one or two colleges that would be one thing, but to see students from all public colleges and universities come together like this is really great."
Justin Brown, a junior criminal justice homeland security major from McCalla, said he hoped that state officials would hear the students' message and come through with the proper funding for higher education.
"I am involved in the Student Government Association, and I felt like it was important for me to be here today to help represent our students and their concerns," Brown said. "I hope the leaders will hear our message and recognize the impact that our universities have on our state so that they can understand the importance of proper funding."
For Ashlan Kelley, an Andalusia native and SGA Senator representing the College of Arts and Sciences, the message on Thursday was about "One TROY."
"To me TROY is one of the most important universities out here because we have campuses that serve students throughout Alabama not just the Troy Campus," Kelley said. "I just want to make sure that the voices of all TROY students are heard and that we receive the proper funding we need to support our efforts at all of our campuses."
Gov. Kay Ivey addressed students during Thursday's luncheon, telling those gathered that their voices were being heard by state officials.
"As Governor, I have made it my mission to improve Alabama's education system and that will not change," Gov. Ivey said. "This year, my education budget will again increase the amount of appropriations that I recommend go to our colleges and universities. I commend all of you for being a part of that success."

Titanium - is considered a premium metal for a knife handle. It is light weight with a high strength-to-density ratio. It offers an extremely high resistance to corrosion and will not conduct or retain cold temperatures. We use grade 5 / 6AL 4V Titanium in a variety of finishes.
G10 - is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate that is hard a durable. It known to be extremely strong, resistant to chemicals and moisture. These features make it perfect for outdoor use. We offer a smooth textured finish.
Resin - each handle is hand poured to achieve a unique patten. Then pressurized for stability. A durable material that is one-of-kind with no 2 set being the same. Not only is this material visually please it also very practical. It is light weight and can with stand impact. In our impact testing we have found it to be contender with G10. The finish is smooth with a micro line finish that is not visible. It adds a micro texture that aids in grip.
Carbon Fiber - is a polymer and is sometimes known as graphite fiber very strong and light weight.
Black PVD is a smooth matte black finish that is durable. It is a vapor process coating which nearly becomes part of the titanium. It is hard and has excellent abrasive wear resistance. It will show a wear patina overtime however It will never flake off.
Stonewashed to achieve our color, smoothness, and pattern we use a 3 step process. This a good working finish.
Satin we use a multiple step processes using 2 media types to achieve a durable fine satin finish.
Semi-Polish we a use an elaborate tumbling process to achieve a semi-polish look that is very smooth to the touch. Although smooth with a little luster we find it to patina very well.
We use high quality blade steel that is suited for the task at hand.
We use Japanese AUS-8a it will withstand rust very well and sharpens easily. We find it to be a balanced steel. We use in on the Bandit ti micro knife that is great for opening boxes, plastic packages and small everyday tasks. It has good corrosion resistance and low maintenance. It can be stropped to a ken edge fairly quickly.
We use Bolher D2 tool steel. It is know to have a high wear resistance/edge-holding ability which makes for a great EDC blade steel. We use it primarily on the Strand and West.
It is an Austrian steel that is a high carbon and high-chromium steel. Particularly due to its strength and durability, K110 has excellent characteristics for a blade steel that is tough. Although high in carbon and technically not considered a stainless steel as it falls just under the composition requirement. K110 is not easily oxidized or corroded. However ideally you will want to keep it dry. If not dry in our experience a little oil will go along way.
N690 Bohler Steel is extremely fine grained creating a blade that will retain its sharpness even with a fine edge. N690 resists deterioration and corrosion such as rust caused by external elements like humidity, moisture and even salt. This a great all around steel that offers edge retention, good stain and corrosion resistance, hardness with added toughness. We use it on the Chase.
ELMAX is a powder metallurgy steel that has a very high wear and excellent corrosion resistance. We harden Elmax to 60-61 HRC resulting in a blade that has an excellent edge holding ability as well as high-impact resistance. We are big fan of ELMAX and it is one of our favorite steel. We use it on the iQ EDC knife making a daily task knife that can go the extra mile.
LC200N steel is a nitrogen based steel that has extreme corrosion resistance. An exceptional steel that has the ability to be hardened at 59 HRC. It is the steel of choice for equipment requiring high dynamic loads in corrosive environments. NASA uses it specifically for ball bearings in their aerospace applications. When used for a knife blade you have impressive corrosion resistance properties with a balance of toughness and edge holding ability. It is a phenomenal steel that is preferred in any salty or wet climate.
As a Powder Metallurgy tool steel, you get a blend of impressive wear resistance and edge retention plus excellent corrosion resistant due to high levels of chromium. We harden CPM 20-CV to 60-61 HRC resulting in a blade that has an excellent edge holding ability as well as one tough steel. We recommend this steel for hard use.

What Are the Best Vintage Lenses? Here Are My Top Five
by Global Photography News August 14, 2020
Chess Style
Vintage lenses can be a great way to get some different glass for you to try without spending much money. But, there are also a number of hidden gems that can create stunning and singular results.
My penchant for vintage lenses started primarily because I didn't have much money when I got my first camera. I was in a small photography community of full-time photographers and long-standing hobbyists with f/1.2 primes and telescopic flagship zooms. I remember wondering if I could ever compete with their kits worth more than most cars. Then, I read an article.
I can't remember where the article was or even who wrote it, which is a shame, but it was on a lens called "the Bokeh Monster." I was intrigued. I jumped on eBay to see if there were any available, and there was. I began bidding on a few and eventually scored one for under the expected price I'd read. In somewhat of a minor miracle given that I had no idea what to check when buying vintage lenses, my copy was cosmetically damaged but optically perfect: no scratches, no clouding, no mold. I bought an adapter and took it into my garden to give it a go and fell in love. This marked the start of my burning curiosity into what other lenses of the past could create unique and beautiful looks for my images.
I have owned a lot of vintage lenses and I have a dry container chock full of them. Some have been great, most of have been middling, and a few have been spectacular wastes of money, but I regret none of them. I have compiled a small list of my favorites, but by the very nature of how deep and varied the vintage glass market is, I could not begin to provide an exhaustive list. For whatever purpose you would like a vintage lens — be it macro, landscape, portrait, and so on — there will be options. There is a smattering of lenses that are still usable from the first third of the 20th century (although most are from 1950-1999) and so there is quite the back catalog. Make sure you do your research, however, as believe me, cloudy lenses with fungus are useful to man nor beast. I bought a 400mm prime without seeing the front or back elements because I won the bid with a low-ball offer. It was softer than freshly tumble-dried kittens. However, if you are careful and ensure the glass is clear and healthy, you might score yourself a real gem.
The aforementioned catalyst for my love of vintage glass. There are a few versions of this lens, and it's easy to get the wrong one. What you're looking for is the M42 15-blade edition. It is these 15 blades that give it the gooey bokeh and a singular look. The 135mm focal length prime has been a staple of the lens industry ever since this era, and the Canon 135mm f/2 remains my most beloved lens to this day. Price-wise, the Pentacon is perfect for a little justifiable foray into your curiosity, with copies on eBay at the moment for around $80, and they're in seemingly good condition.
This Russian prime started being made around 1950 and continued production up until around the 1990s, so there are a number of them out there. It is said to have been based on (read: possibly a copy of) the Zeiss Biotar, but whatever the case, it's brilliant. It's so brilliant in fact, that in 2013, when a new version was announced, I immediately bought one and loved it. It isn't the sharpest lens, particularly at f/1.5, but as far as character goes, it's right up there with the best. It creates a sort of radial bokeh, which became its signature, and even the 2013 modern version retained that. The vintage versions — for a clean copy — you're looking at paying between $300 and $400, so it's not the cheapest on the list, but it is a hell of a lot of fun.
Takumar lenses are made by Asahi Optical, which was founded by Kumao Kajiwara, brother of renowned Japanese-American portrait painter, Takuma Kajiwara. A Super-Takumar lens is one with an improved anti-flare lens coating as well as a more sophisticated stopping-down mechanism, according to Wikipedia. Whatever is going on inside, these lenses have a reputation for incredible optical quality, bokeh, and colors, even when wide open, which is typically uncommon in vintage lenses. It's a superb prime that can be picked up for between $50 and $200.
This lens is famed for being one of the best vintage lenses in existence for portraiture, but I'd argue that it's so much more than that. With a great minimum focus distance for the time, it can really fill a number of roles. Its build quality is great, its sharpness is superb, and its bokeh is buttery. Prices vary hugely, particularly as there is an almost identical version that's f/2.8 instead, but for the f/2, you're looking at around $350-$500 for a well-looked-after copy.
If you ever find yourself in a debate over whether great glass is a long-term investment, you're going to want to roll this lens out. It is probably the best example of an incredible lens staying an incredible lens there is. The 35mm f/2 was in production for 17 years starting in 1979, and it was a hit, to say the least. Known primarily for its bokeh, it became a must-have for Leica shooters, and many of them still seek the original out today over the newer version of it. There's a catch, though, and I'd make sure you're seated for it: this vintage lens will cost you between $3,000 and $4,000 for a clean copy. What was that I was saying about saving money by buying vintage? It is iconic and the gold standard of vintage lenses, though, and I suspect buyers who got one brand new have either lost nothing or even made money.
I'm going to leave the term "vintage" pretty loose, but I'd say most would reject any lenses designed for digital cameras, at least for a while. In the comments, give us your vote for king or queen of vintage lenses and why.

SALISBURY, Md. – The No. 20 Salisbury University baseball team completed a weekend sweep of Capital Athletic Conference opponent Frostburg State University on Sunday afternoon, winning both both ends of its doubleheader by scores of 11-10 and 12-6.
Game 1: Salisbury 11, Frostburg State 10
After winning the series opener on Saturday afternoon, 4-1, the Sea Gulls began Sunday's opener with two runs in the bottom of the first inning. Cameron Hyder led off the inning with a walk, then advanced two bases on a passed ball and a fielding error before Jimmy Monaghan sent him home on a sacrifice fly. Jack Barry scored Brad Haas from second base in the next at-bat with a single into right field for the early 2-0 lead.
The Sea Gulls added three more runs in the bottom of the second inning. After recording two quick outs, Frostburg pitcher Colby Lee walked four straight batters to score the first run of the inning. A passed ball scored run number two in the inning before two more walks forced home a third run to push the Salisbury lead to 5-0 and end Lee's day.
The Bobcats rallied to make it a one-run game in the third inning. A Ryan Roell RBI single was followed up by a three-run blast to right center field by Jason Paredes to make it 5-4 Salisbury.
A Monaghan RBI double in the fourth and a Matt Padeway solo home run to right center field in the fifth pushed the Salisbury lead to 7-4, but a seventh inning Bobcat rally saw six runs come across home plate to make it 10-7 Frostburg.
Salisbury got two runs back in the bottom half of the inning on a Ron Villone single that scored Will Gutekunst. A fielding error on the play allowed Villone to advance to second base, while Jay Perry was able to advance home to make it 10-9.
It was Villone again in the eighth inning, giving his team the lead for good with a two-run single up the middle, scoring Padeway and Trent Saunders.
Reliever Xavier Marmol (2-0) was able to hold down the lead with a one-two-three ninth inning to earn his second win of the season. Marmol finished the game pitching the final 2 1/3 innings while striking out two batters and allowing only one hit.
Game 2: Salisbury 12, Frostburg State 6
Frostburg State (10-7, 0-6 CAC) struck first in the final game of the series, scoring runs in both the second and third innings to take an early 2-0 lead against Salisbury starting pitcher Zach Amisano. However, Amisano was able to limit the damage as the Bobcats left six runners stranded through the first five innings.
Bobcats starting Pitcher Chase Delost cruised through the Salisbury lineup for the first five innings, allowing only two hits while striking out an impressive nine batters, but ran in to trouble in the sixth inning. Delost allowed the first two batters of the inning to reach base before a Gutekunst sacrifice bunt advanced them both into scoring position.
With his pitch count already at 95, Delost was relieved by Franco Velasquez, who didn't fare much better. After striking out the first batter he faced, Velasquez gave up a two-run double to pinch hitter Troy Miller to tie the game at 2-2. Miller was then able to come home and score the go-ahead run for Salisbury (14-4-1, 6-0 CAC) on two passed balls.
After plunking Villone with a pitch in the following at-bat, Velasquez was relieved by Dan Ryczek who allowed a walk and an RBI single to the two batters he faced.
Christian Rivera then took the mound for the Bobcats facing a bases-loaded situation and promptly served up a pitch to Monaghan who sent it back over the center field wall for a grand slam and an 8-2 Salisbury lead.
The maroon and gold added four more runs to its lead in the seventh inning, including a Stephen Rice RBI-ground rule double and an RBI triple by Hyder to make it 12-2.
The Bobcats rallied to score four runs in the ninth inning, but it wasn't enough as the Sea Gulls held on to complete the sweep.
Amisano (4-0) earned the win, pitching seven strong innings that included a pair of strikeouts and only two earned runs. Matt Grogan and Robbie Hollenbeck combined to close out the game in the ninth inning.
Salisbury will take the week off before hitting the road to take on CAC opponent Penn State University-Harrisburg in a three-game weekend series beginning on Saturday, March 30. Game one's first pitch is scheduled for 12 p.m.

Rare WW I flag presented to vets museum in Yukon
Spanish Cove resident Betty Cernosek presents this World War I four-star flag to Yukon Veterans Museum president and curator Rick Cacini. The flag flew in France during World War I and was brought back to Oklahoma by Cernosek's uncle, Army veteran William P. (Bill) Blecha. (Photo by Conrad Dudderar)
Senior Staff Writer
A Yukon woman this week presented to the Yukon Veterans Museum a unique World War I flag that her late uncle brought back to the U.S.
Betty Cernosek gifted this once-forgotten flag that flew in France more than 100 years ago during WW I. It will be on display at the veterans' museum inside the American Legion Building, 1010 W Main.
Cernosek's uncle, Army veteran William P. (Bill) Blecha (March 30, 1895 – May 3, 1989), brought the four-star flag back with him to Oklahoma after the war.
"It is an unusual flag with its four stars and I'm sorry I don't know what it represents," Cernosek told fellow Spanish Cove residents during a Monday morning presentation.
"Someone has suggested that perhaps it was outside the tent of a four-star general, but I don't know."
Cernosek, who has lived at Spanish Cove Retirement Village for the past 14 years, was proud to present the historic flag to the Yukon Veterans Museum.
"I am so glad the flag finally has some recognition and a new home," she said.
Cernosek acknowledged she doesn't know much about the flag's history. But Yukon Veterans Museum founder/ curator Rick Cacini hopes to solve that mystery.
"We're still looking into the history of this (flag)," Cacini said. "We believe it to be the personal flag of one of the six, four-star generals of World War I.
"We don't know which one of those six. We're going to contact the Smithsonian Museum in (Washington) D.C. We're working on that."
Cernosek did share some history about her late uncle during Monday's flag presentation.
She read several fragile and water-stained letters and postcards that Blecha had written in 1917-18 while he was serving in the Army during WW I.
Cernosek's mother had saved these writings that Blecha mailed to family members back home.
According to the earliest letter dated October 1917, Blecha was serving in the 23rd Aero Squadron stationed in Hempstead, Long Island, N.Y. He was not a pilot but was part of the ground grew that repaired and worked on planes.
Another letter dated April 1918 indicates Blecha was a corporal and chief of a hangar with six planes and nine mechanics under him. Their job was to keep the planes in good flying condition.
Cernosek shared a postcard her mother had saved from Blecha dated Nov. 9, 1918, just two days before the Armistice. In one last postcard dated Dec. 18, 1918, her uncle wrote he hoped "to come home in a month."
Blecha did come home, and Cernosek assumed since he was a young unmarried man he must have stayed with her mother and father (Frank and Anna Cernosek) in Oklahoma City and stored the flag with them.
"He left at some time, and I remember hearing that he worked at the famous 101 Ranch for a time, dug for gold in Colorado and I suppose other adventures before he married in 1929," Betty Cernosek said.
"Uncle Bill (later) worked for Manhattan Construction Company. He helped build the First National building; worked on the lobby, and then he built a home on MacArthur (between Reno and NW. 10th) that's now a restaurant called Castle Falls."
FLAG FORGOTTEN
Bill Blecha and wife Opal lived with Betty's parents for a while and later had their own home.
"I guess the flag was totally forgotten about and never passed back to him," she said.
"Apparently, uncle Bill never asked for it and my mom and dad never remembered it either.
"So, there it stayed year after year. Both my parents died and I lived in their home for 13 years after their deaths until 1983 when I moved to a new home."
While clearing out the attic of the old house, Betty Cernosek found the four-star flag and moved it to her new home along with many other items her parents had saved.
"I regret very much not paying more attention to the flag," Cernosek said this week. "Uncle Bill was still living at the time and I could have taken it to him and found out about it, but I didn't do that and I'm very sorry now."
When Cernosek moved to Spanish Cove in 2005, she brought the flag with her and it had been in her walk-in closet until just recently. The Yukon woman is pleased to pass this unique flag on to a museum and hopes someday someone will discover what the four stars represent and perhaps more of its history.
The Yukon Veterans Museum curator said he's glad to accept the gift and is working to learn more about the flag.
Cacini invited Spanish Cove residents to the Veterans Museum's re-grand opening at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 13. The event, which will feature a ribbon cutting, will celebrate the museum's latest additions including its new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant restrooms.

Apex Legends Treasure Packs: How to Find Them and What They Do
By Tanner Dedmon - May 16, 2020 06:09 pm EDT
Apex Legends might not have gotten any new weapons, throwables, or other resources just yet in Season 5, but there is new one thing to look out for: Treasure Packs. It's hard to miss these treasures once they're in front of you, but you've got to find them first if you want to unlock what's inside. The rewards range from progression in the battle pass to crafting materials, and these packs will also be key parts of your PvE experience if you want to keep playing the new Hunts as they're released.
There's a limited number of Treasure Packs you can get in Apex Legends throughout Season 5 with even more restrictions place on when you can get them, but they're worth hunting for. If you stumble across a Treasure Pack in Apex Legends during your normal matches, here's what you need to know about it.
How to Find Treasure Packs
To find Treasure Packs in Apex Legends, just play like you normally would. Open all the Supply Bins you can find in your hunts for loot, and if you're lucky, an orange-red box will pop out of one of them eventually. It's outlined with a big red banner like you'd see on a pair of fully charged Evo Shields, so it's hard to miss.
Just pick one up when you see it and forget about it until you're done with your match. It doesn't take up any inventory space, and when the match is complete, you'll be able to see what's inside. They're pretty common, so you shouldn't have a hard time finding one in about two to three games.

What Can I Get from the Treasure Packs?
Inside the Treasure Packs are things like battle pass progression (called "CP" and usually in increments of the thousands), crafting materials, Apex Packs, and the opportunity to pursue Hunts as they're released. Your reward will be shown to you once the match is finished.
If you want to see what's to come, just head to the "Quest" section of the Season 5 menu spotted in the top-left corner of the main Apex menu. You'll see talk of a story called "The Broken Ghost" with a line of Treasure Pack rewards beneath it that looks a lot like a battle pass progression system. The gold rewards spaced out five Treasure Packs apart are the Hunts, but even if you've already acquired enough Treasure Packs to play one, you have to wait till it's released.
What's a Hunt?
Hunts are the PvE missions added in Season 5 that center around Loba and her mission on Kings Canyon. Nine different Hunts will take place throughout the season, and you can start getting invested in the story now by visiting the prologue section of the above below.
The first Hunt isn't live yet, so don't stress about not seeing the option. It starts on May 19th with more to come after it, so you've got plenty of time still to get Treasure Packs.
How Many Treasure Packs Can I Get?
You can get just one Treasure Pack per day and can collect 45 of them in total throughout Season 5. This means that it's possible to not hit the max number of Treasure Packs if you're not playing consistently, but again, it doesn't take more than a game or two to find one from personal experience.
The restrictions on the Treasure Packs essentially turn the find into a daily login reward, though you do have to work a bit more for these than other games that just dish out the gifts immediately. Those who play more will find greater benefit from them, but since all the rewards are geared around cosmetics with the exception of the PvE Hunts, you'll only miss out to an extent if you don't find them all.
What If I've Hit My Treasure Pack Limit?
We've got a long way to go until players start hitting their limit of 45 Treasure Packs, but it's entirely possible that you'll find several of them in a day if you're playing often. Since you can only collect one per day, you should do with them what you should be doing with all other valuable loot: Ping them for your teammates.
The characters have unique voice lines for the Treasure Packs and will alert their teammates to the prize's location. They're not really worth leaving a fight to get since they're common enough, so don't ditch your team for them, but grab them when you can.

Blackhall Studios CEO Ryan Milsap on Georgia politics & film: It factors in quite a bit
By Staff on	 October 30, 2019 News
The film industry in Georgia has not only broken records in the U.S., but it is currently one of the top locations in the world for production.
Toronto, Paris, London, and Los Angeles make up some of the top other locations for film, but Georgia's tax incentive for film production encourages even more opportunities for the state.
Tax credits of up to 30 percent create significant cost savings for companies producing feature films, television series, music videos and commercials, in addition to interactive games and animation.
About 92,000 people in Georgia work in jobs with ties to the entertainment industry, as reported by the Georgia Department of Economic Development this year.
Pinewood Studios, Tyler Perry Studios, and Blackhall Studios are the industry heavyweights that are leading the film and television economy in Georgia.
Ryan Millsap, CEO of Blackhall Studios, is planning to triple the size of his existing sound stages – from 210,000 square feet to 600,000 square feet, which would make it the largest purpose-built movie studio in Georgia.
Millsap, who opened Blackhall Studios in the spring of 2017, has invested $75 million in the current facility, and he intends to spend another $150 million on its expansion. But that's only a small part of the equation.
"The driver is not my investment," Millsap said. "Right now there is about $500 million to $700 million of content flowing through here each year. When we expand, that will go up to more than $1 billion a year. It is new, fresh money for Georgia."

We'll be growing perennial plants for biomass adjacent to productive plants (fruits, herbs, vegatables, nuts) . The biomass plants will be used to mulch the productive plants and to condition the soil.
The garden layout is shown below.
The planting arrangement is set up to utilise light availability in the early stages of growth by planting densely with pioneer plants, in much the same way that a natural succession would occur. During this period the pioneer plants in the biomass beds will be pruned at regular intervals to provide organic matter to the productive plants.
In the 3rd - 4th year there is still plenty of light available to fuel the pioneer plants in the biomass beds.
As the growth of the productive plants increase the light is reduced to the pioneer plants and they can be cut back for mulch . At this stage a transition to shade tolerant fruiting plants and herbs will occur.
We have selected a range of pioneer plants to grow in the biomass beds and will be studying the suitability of each species for use in such a system. The ideal plant should grow well on poor soils, have relatively low water demand, be fast growing and tolerant of regular pruning. We will be growing three types of plants in the biomass beds.
We'll be planting the pioneer plants in blocks of 1.5 m wide x 8 m long as shown in the below image.
*Whether the Paulownia genus is capable of nitrogen fixation is unclear. Although you may find many reports of this plant being able to fix nitrogen on the internet there are no scientific papers that confirm this. We are hoping the lab that will handle the nitrogen fixation measurement can shed some light on this matter.
The productive beds will host a range of fruit and nut trees with soft fruit bushes and perennial herbs and vegetables in the under story with a range of native local bulbs and herbs to attract invertebrate diversity as well as some simple habitat features such as rock piles and tyre ponds.
We'll be assessing three polycultures in these beds.

A: There is only one explanation for the code you give us, and that is that one item in your list is null.
The statement @item.LongDesc will throw a NullReferenceException then.
If you allow one of the items in the TopTens to be null, add a check for null:
@if (@item != null)
{
  <p>@item.LongDesc</p>
}

Or, if TopTens is a List just don't add more items then there are, preventing one to be null.

Pedi-Quick files are used and recommended by both foot specialists and salon professionals to keep feet soft and smooth.
Pedi-Quick® 2-Sided Foot File safely whisks away corns and calluses to unveil softer feet. Preferred by pedicurists, it features two different emery surfaces (one fine and one coarse) to gently smooth rough, dry, or hardened skin. Ergonomically-designed, non-slip handle provides precise control. Great for nails, too.
Before using the Pedi-Quick® 2-Sided Foot File, soak feet in warm water to cleanse and soften skin. After soaking feet, dry skin thoroughly before filing. For best results, apply moisturizer to feet after each use. Regular use of this device can help keep feet soft and smooth, but to avoid redness, irritation and loss of healthy skin, do not remove too much skin at once, as this is natural protection against friction.
Hand wash product with warm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly. Press flat in a clean towel to remove excess moisture then air dry completely, away from direct heat and sunlight, before reuse..

The Queensland resources sector is extremely disappointed by Aurizon's move to pre-empt the regulatory process by moving to change its maintenance programme before the QCA process is completed.
"QRC calls on Aurizon to step back from regulatory decision"
By its own estimates, for the sake of AUS$25 million in its maintenance allowance, the decision by Aurizon to move away from a flexible maintenance system to an inflexible system, would cost Queensland 20 million tpy of coal exports.
This is worth AUS$4 billion in export income and would cost the State Government around AUS$500 million in lost royalties each year, enough to pay the wages for 7388 teachers, or 7060 police constables or 7430 registered nurses.
This latest announcement shows Aurizon is willing to use its power as the monopoly operator of the network and further highlights why the regulatory process needs to be followed to maintain a level playing field.
The Queensland Resources Council (QRC) is calling on Aurizon to step back from its decision and is seeking reassurances from them to instead engage constructively with the regulator to review any concerns with maintenance.
This will ensure the company gets on with the job of running the central Queensland coal network efficiently and in the interests of all Queenslanders and stakeholders.

Q: resolve ForeignSecurityPrincipals to distinguishedName in PowerShell I have a ForeignSecurityPrincipals and need to resolve it to the distinguishedName but am not sure how.
I have this code to get the NTAccount:
$m = "CN=S-1-1-11-1111111111-1111111111-1111111111-1111111,CN=ForeignSecurityPrincipals,DC=one,DC=two,DC=company,DC=com"
$member = [ADSI]("LDAP://" + $m)
$sid = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier ($member.objectSid[0], 0)
$sid.Translate([System.Security.Principal.NTAccount]).value

A: You can bind to an object using the SID (and then get the distinguishedName), but you have to know at least the DNS name of the domain:
$user = [ADSI]"LDAP://$domaindns/<SID=$($sid.Value)>"

To get the DNS name of the domain, you need to examine all the trusts your domain has and store the DNS name and the SID of the domain in a list. Then you can match the domain portion of the user's SID with your list and get the DNS name (a user's SID will start with the domain's SID).
This page has some info on pulling all of the trusts, but the method he ends up using is WMI, which may not work, depending on your permissions. It didn't for me. You can do the same with ADSI, but I haven't done it. It's a starting point at least.
Update:
You can try this:
$DomainSIDList = @{}

$Forest = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Forest]::GetCurrentForest()

#Get trusts from each domain in the forest -- this will include forest trusts
ForEach($Domain in $Forest.Domains) {
    $adsisearcher = New-Object system.directoryservices.directorysearcher
    $adsisearcher.SearchRoot = [ADSI]"LDAP://CN=System,$($Domain.GetDirectoryEntry().distinguishedName)"
    $adsisearcher.Filter = "(objectclass=trustedDomain)"
    ForEach($ExtDomain in $adsisearcher.FindAll()) {
        $name = $ExtDomain.Properties["name"][0]
        "Found $($name)"
        $sid = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier ($ExtDomain.Properties["securityidentifier"][0], 0)
        if (-not $DomainSIDList.Contains($sid.Value)) {
            "Adding $($sid.Value), $($name)"
            $DomainSIDList.Add($sid.Value, $name)
        }
    }
}

Once that runs, $DomainSIDList will contain a list of trusted domains. It'll contain all the domains in the forest, which you don't really need, but that's not a big deal.


We will determine whether synaptic alterations associated with Alzheimer disease are transferred to neighboring neurons and required the expression of neuronal APP. We will also check wether the amyloïdogenic processing of APP in neighboring neurons and a subsequent production of Abetao is necessary for the spreading of the synaptopathy that characterized AD.
We will perform in vivo viral infection with a lentivirus that express mutated APP(APPswe) tagged with the Green Fluorescent Protein in wild type and APP KO cortical neurons. Since the viral infection does not target all the neurons, our objective will be to find 2 neighboring neurons: one infected next to a non-infected neuron. We will study AMPA and NMDA synaptic transmission in non-infected neurons in order to identify modifications induced by the release of Abetao by the infected neurons. This approach will also allow us to evaluate the impact of an overproduction of Abetao in the dendritic spine density of surrounding neurons. In a next step, we will evaluate that the alteration of neurotransmission by secreted Abetao occurs through a processing of APP via the amyloïdogenic pathway. APPswe-GFP will be transfected in conjunction with either APP wild type-mCherry (APPwt) or APPmv-mCherry (APPmv) in APP KO cortical neurons. APPmv is mutated in the beta-secretase cleavage site leading to a decrease of amyloïdogenic processing of APP. We will study NMDA and AMPA synaptic transmission and dendritic spine density in APPwt and APPmv neurons.
We will perform in vivo viral infection in the somatosensory cortex of wild type and APP KO neurons. We will then prepare somatosensory cortex slices and patch-clamp experiments will allow us to record AMPA and NMDA dependent synaptic transmission. Dendritic spines density will be evaluated by confocal microscopy.


Hotels, hospitals, large office buildings, high-tech manufacturing sites and institutions (universities, jails, etc.) have been the most common early customers of these applications. This is generally because of these buildings' size, thermal loads, and need for dedicated power.
With Carrier, a sister subsidiary within United Technologies, we are currently exploring additional integrated applications with HVAC equipment. At present, the cogenerated heat from the PC25 can be used in certain types of Carrier's absorption chilling equipment. This system delivers not only cooling, but also Premium Power, at an unmatched level of energy efficiency and environmental cleanliness. A schematic of this system is shown in Figure 4.

REGGIE & REINHARDT
Welcome to BIG TIME CITY, a place full of big dreams that never come true. But don't tell Reggie and Reinhardt that – actually, please do – someone has to!
Logline: Two moppers at a mop factory hatch plans in order to break free from their mundane lives, but no matter how weird, wrong or extraordinary their adventures are, they always end up back with their ordinary lives.
Reggie & Reinhardt is an episodic half-hour dark comedy featuring the antics and misadventures of two mispaired best friends. With each episode comes a new dream to be fulfilled or a problem to be solved. Unfortunately for Reinhardt, Reggie's "bright ideas" get in the way of any sensible solutions, and the simplest of problems lead to the worst possible results.
Reggie & Reinhardt is like a Twilight Zone episode featuring Laurel and Hardy and directed by the Coen Brothers. While Pinky and the Brain try to take over the world, Reggie and Reinhardt try to escape it. But just like Skipper and Gilligan, these two buddies will never escape their Island.

ZOMBIE EXTRA
Wanna take a bite out of the hilarious and delightfully disgusting ZombBromCom? What's a ZombBromCom? It's a Zombie Bromance Comedy!
Logline: After getting attacked by a zombie, a struggling, disconnected actor can only get work on horror films, finally feeling alive now that he's undead.
Zombie Extra tells the story of Peter Knight, a struggling actor disconnected from his roles, and his life. In love with a girlfriend who cheats on him, and struggling to find work, he hopes something, anything will happen. Lightning strikes the toxic Gowanus Canal of Brooklyn and Aldo, the victim of a long-forgotten Mafia hit, is reanimated. The zombie Aldo attacks Peter and now the only work he can find is as an extra in horror films. Peter's best friend Nicholas, a zombie enthusiast, tries to help him return to his former human self, but Peter is having the time of his life, even while being undead.
In the tradition of films like Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland, Zombie Extra plays on our greatest fears of getting our flesh eaten while still managing to tickle our funny bones.

HANDBASKET
It's the Fall of 1995 in an artsy college town and the band Handbasket is on the verge of success. They just need a little extra luck, but if it wasn't for bad luck they'd have no luck at all.
Logline: When a drummer's deal with the devil results in the disappearance of the singer, the remaining bandmates must face their own demons in order to break the deal before the next singer vanishes.
The same night Handbasket lands a lucrative record deal, their singer mysteriously disappears. With pressure from the label, the remaining members go into the studio with a replacement singer. But with every new success, another singer is gone, and the only clue left behind is burnt remnants of their shoes. Many new people have started to hang around the band – can one of them be the devil?
Handbasket is a serial science-fiction thriller about good vs. evil, the nineties indie music scene, and the budding romantic relationship between bandmates. In the same way that Stranger Things uses the '80s and shadow monsters to explore friendship, Handbasket uses the '90s and the devil to explore band relationships, romance, and the music industry.

THE ANIMATED ADVENTURES OF MATTY AND PATTY
A little less dark, a little more family-friendly, this story starts when Matty trampolines himself through the sky of his world and right into Patty's hometown. This is just the first of their many adventures!
Logline: Two ten-year-olds from different dimensions, Matty the dimwitted gentle-giant and Patty the wise-beyond-her-years, no-nonsense brains of the operation, travel through different worlds to find Patty's lost cat Bruno and return Matty to his family.
The two friends begin and end each adventure in Patty's hometown of Hubdale. There, the duo must avoid run-ins with neighborhood bullies, mean teachers and Patty's family. In the other dimensions, danger is around every corner until they slowly learn how to control their travels, with the help of a mysterious stranger.
Matty and Patty are fifteen-minute animated episodes, appropriate for all ages but, similar to the Muppet Show, Animaniacs and The Simpsons, this show is intended to work on multiple levels, appealing to children and adults alike. Easy-to-follow adventures, along with social commentary and subtle humor, are mixed into big laughs for the whole family.

What is James Crumbley's profession?
JAMES Crumbley is the father of Ethan Crumbley, the 15-year-old arrested and charged as an adult for the tragic events that took place at the Oxford High School shooting.
James and his wife, Jennifer, have also been arrested and charged with four counts each of involuntary manslaughter.
According to Jay Farr, the CEO of Advantzware, a Florida-based software company, James Crumbley was furloughed from his job as a telemarketer right after the pandemic hit.
Crumbley reportedly started working at the firm in 2017, where he worked remotely from his home in Michigan, generating sales leads.
In February of 2021, Crumbley started working at a San Francisco-based security technology company, according to his now-deleted Facebook profile.
James and Jennifer Crumbley are currently being held on a $500K bond.
Oakland County prosecutor, Karen McDonald, revealed that on November 26, 2021, James Crumbley purchased the 9mm Sig Sauer SP2022 used in the shooting at a gun store in Oxford, Michigan.
According to McDonald, a store employee confirmed Ethan was with his father at the time of the purchase.
Ethan then shared a photo of the gun to his social media accounts, writing "Just got my new beauty today."
McDonald said that Jennifer Crumbley also posted about the gun to her social media, adding: "Mom and son day testing out his new Christmas present."
What are the Crumbley's being charged with?
James and Jennifer Crumbley now face four counts of involuntary manslaughter, one for each of the four lives taken on Tuesday, November 30, 2021.
On the morning of Saturday, December 4, 2021, the parents of alleged school shooter Ethan Crumbley appeared in court for the first time, where the judge read of their charges.
All three Crumbleys are being held in the same Michigan prison, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.
They are each on suicide watch and being checked on "multiple times an hour," Bouchard said, adding that they are in isolation and do not have contact with one another.
On Friday, December 3, 2021, it was reported that Jennifer and James Crumbley were not in custody, nor were they in contact with their attorneys or authorities.
The couple was found in Detroit early in the morning on Saturday after allegedly hiding from authorities.
"Where they were and how they were seems to support the position they were hiding," Bouchard said.
Ethan Crumbley is being charged as an adult with four counts of first-degree murder, one count of terrorism, and could face additional charges in the shooting that killed Hana St. Juliana, 14, Madisyn Baldwin, 17, Tate Myre, 16, and Justin Shilling, 17.
What happened at the Oxford High School shooting?
Four students died at the hands of the school shooting, with seven more people sustaining injuries, including a teacher.
According to authorities, a teacher at the school noticed Ethan Crumbley was searching ammunition on his phone while in class. She allegedly reported the incident and left a message with his parents, to which the school received no response.
McDonald added that Jennifer Crumbley allegedly texted Ethan the same day, writing: "LOL, I'm not mad at you. You have to learn not to get caught," according to Detroit Free Press.
On the day of the shooting, a teacher reportedly found a note left on Ethan's desk, with a drawing of a semiautomatic handgun and the words "The thoughts won't stop, help me."
The note reportedly also contained a drawing of a bullet as well as a person who appeared to be shot and bleeding, with the words "blood everywhere".
Later that morning, Jennifer and James were called into the school's office to talk about the concerning behaviours of their son, where they reportedly "resisted the idea" of taking him out of school.
According to McDonald, Jennifer texted her son "Ethan, don't do it," at 1.22pm on Tuesday afternoon, after news broke of an active shooter shooter at the high school.
"Any individual who had the opportunity to stop this tragedy should have done so. The question is, what did they know and when did they know it?" said McDonald.

Harlan Jacobs is the founder and president of Genesis Business Centers, Ltd., a diversified high tech, for-profit incubator program established in 1993. Mr. Jacobs is a seasoned CFO with over 20 years experience as a corporate controller and treasurer prior to becoming involved in the fields of incubation and early stage venture (seed) capital. He was the CFO for FilmTec Corporation, a successful Minnesota high tech start-up company with a unique reverse osmosis membrane technology. Formed in 1977 with only $100,000 of founders capital, the company went public in 1979.
In 1985, with sales of $10 million and net income of $1.5 million, FilmTec was sold to Dow Chemical for $75 million in cash! Mr. Jacobs was actively involved in the acquisition negotiations.
Over the years he became interested in other early-stage, high tech companies like FilmTec. Most of the companies in which he invested were having great difficulty raising the first $250,000 of capital. Paying the rent and having adequate business advisory services available early-on were common laments among the management teams he interviewed for his prospective investments.
A business opportunity seemed obvious. In 1993 he founded one of the most progressive high-tech business incubator programs in Minnesota, if not in the U.S., by offering to barter rent and "Acting CFO" services for a negotiated equity position in its incubatee companies. This bartering program has become a cornerstone of the Genesis Incubator program.
In recognition of his efforts and success in helping small businesses raise capital and get off the ground, Mr. Jacobs was appointed by Senator Rod Grams to serve as his delegate to the White House Conference on Small Business in 1995, and again as his delegate to the Congressional Small Business Conference, held in Washington, D.C., in June 2000.
Successful graduates of the Genesis Incubator program include SurVivaLink, a manufacturer of portable battery operated defibrillators that was acquired by Cardiac Sciences (stock symbol: DFIB), NT International, a specialty sensor manufacturer that was acquired by Entegris (stock symbol: ENTG), and Excorp Medical, a bioartificial liver company whose system recently received FDA "orphan drug" designation, a significant approval step.
Other promising graduates and client firms of the Genesis program (and their technologies) include CYMBET, (infinitely rechargeable lithium ion polymer battery depositions on silicon substrates), Zivix, a new electronic guitar system for use with iPads™ and the like, GEL-DEL Technologies (tissue engineering), and Electronic Materials, LLC.
Electronic Materials may very well have a "basic patent" and therefore be in a position to engage in significant licensing transactions whenever an electronics company or others utilize a computer controlled ink jet nozzle for the deposition of electronic circuitry on flexible substrates. Genesis is assisting the company to secure licensing agreements on a global basis.
Jacobs' personal track record of investment in private placement offerings such as in Recovery Engineering, Inc. ($1.00 per share in 1986--acquired by Procter and Gamble in 1999 for $35 per share) has helped to engender the confidence of those third parties who utilize the Genesis Incubator program as a high quality screen for selecting investment candidates.
Genesis works regularly with community development organizations that wish to bring high tech jobs to their communities. Genesis helps to establish business angel networks and community-based seed capital funds that receive funding from utility companies and commercial banks (in fulfillment of the letter and spirit of the law in respect of the Community Reinvestment Act) as well as from high net worth individuals who wish to help their communities to grow and prosper.

Ashes: Ponting separates the techniques of the English Burns, Hameed and Pope
By Stewart B. Holmes on	 December 21, 2021 Game techniques
Pope, Burns and Hameed have struggled so far inland (Photo: Getty)
Ricky Ponting highlighted the issues struggling hitters Rory Burns, Haseeb Hameed and Ollie Pope faced in the first two sets of Tests of the Ashes against Australia.
All three hitters face losing their spots for the third test of the series in Melbourne after none of them score over 40 in the first two matches.
Burns in particular struggled with the rebound and swing of the new ball, with his nervous technique looking rather ominous in Australian conditions.
Meanwhile, Hameed and Pope looked good in the spells, but both batters' desire to feel the bat on the ball meant they struggled to stay in the crease for a while.
And former Australian captain Ponting explained why the three of them struggled so hard.
"Rory Burns is a real fighter, he doesn't rely on solid technique, he has his own way of handling his stick," Ponting told Fox Sports.
Ricky Ponting described the issues the three hitters face (Photo: Getty)
"I think he's fighting real demons against the ball leaving him right now with Mitchell Starc's angle and throwing the ball off, he flipped it around his legs in Brisbane, he got it with a good catch on the second slide in Adelaide.
"Almost every time he's tried to dodge it against the first ball in the innings.
"I think with Rory Burns it seems his feet are moving a lot more than he thinks he is going so far on his stumps and blocking his feet that he really struggles to score points on the off – game or down from the ground.
"If you look at where his races are coming from, they're all pretty square on the leg side and good bowlers won't give you that opportunity. I'd be surprised if he stayed in the squad, he just watches everything at sea. Even against Nathan Lyon I'm not sure he has a great game plan either.
"Hameed, for an opener, he doesn't know what to play on and what to leave.
Hameed has been caught behind the wicket in three of his four innings so far (Photo: Getty)
"I think if you look at his layoffs so far this streak has clearly been bullets where if he had been more decisive with his decision making and footwork. Probably two layoffs and Brisbane and even Adelaide's, I know it was a really good Richardson ball but he didn't need to play it, it was a back ball, it was about fifth or sixth strain. He didn't need to have his bat nearby.
"He was playing a defensive shot, great if you're playing an offensive shot and looking to score, but when you're looking to defend the balls on the fifth stump length, it's just recipe for disaster.
Following: english cricket
"Pope just seems in a hurry, he actually started very well on the fifth day [in Adelaide] and it looked like he was going to have a good day.
"There's another one, he didn't need to play that ball, Mitchell Starc over the wicket, fishing through, probably the fifth stump but probably passing over the stumps through another set so he didn't. didn't need to play length or line.
"To be honest I know he fought hard in Brisbane, but on a wicket that has something against good quality bowling I think he's going to have a hard time."

I never thought I'd be wishing for snow and cold weather on Sept 24th, but that's what kept our flood from getting much worse last night. Today's picture is the snow on Mount Nusatsum taken this afternoon when the clouds finally lifted a bit and it stopped raining and it was actually pleasant for the remainder of the afternoon. It always amazes me even after a life on the coast how fast it looks normal after a huge rain like that.
It will be awhile till the full extent of the property damage is evident but once again some people have had homes and properties damaged and a lot of work, time and money will be required to get them back up and running. People will pitch in where needed to help.
Glad things weren't worse. That must have been a worry, wondering if you're all going to see a repeat of last year.
Yes, very happy to hear things didn't get out of hand like last year. My heart goes out to those who have seen more damage this time around. Love the blog and updates of that beautiful place.


I've always hated the idea of buying something "just for now," especially if it's something I'm going to need later on and might want it to look different. For example, when I got married and was choosing my bed linens, I had the hardest time spending money on anything because I wasn't sure if I was going to want the same colors in a few months, especially when living for short periods of time in apartments. I spend a large part of my time in my kitchen and I've been thinking a lot about kitchen design recently.
When I'm designing a room, I really like to have something to base the feel and color scheme of a room on, whether it be a picture, a piece of furniture, or really anything else. Well, what better thing to base a kitchen on than food? One thing I've discovered while living in a small apartment with an even smaller kitchen, is that a clean, well-organized kitchen is crucial. When my kitchen is clean and organized, I don't notice how tiny it is quite as much. Good lighting and the right colors are just as important.
I love how fresh, inspiring, and inviting white kitchens are. Add a mix of open shelves/glass paned cupboards with solid cupboards, a splash of bright color, a nice deep sink and plenty of counter space and there's nothing better!
Lemons and Limes are my food of choice when it comes to adding color to my kitchen. Green and yellow are such bold, fresh colors and I love the excitement they add to the kitchen.
