It's okay that this is my first time linking up with Neely over at A Complete Waste Of Makeup for
It's Okay Thursday
It's okay that I made a pretty huge, drastic decision this week and allowed myself to be talked out of it by someone who knows me so well and has my best interest in mind. [no, that's not vague at all ;)]
It's okay that sometimes I play music that makes me feel sad because sometimes you just need a good cry.
[don't judge. 10 things i hate about you is one of my favorite movies. especially because it's basically a modern day version of shakespeare's taming of the shrew. and heath ledger. yum. sad!]
It's okay that I ate an entire batch of oreo truffles in less than a week. Especially considering what this week was like.
It's okay that my dog went from not being allowed on the furniture to refusing to lay down unless she has a pillow.
It's okay that I'm completely excited to go home to my parents' house this week. And it's totally okay that part of my excitement is because there will be food there. Lots of it.
It's okay that in order for my husband to surprise me with a peppermint mocha he had to pay for it with quarters. I love that he still makes the effort to "romance" me, even when we're poor.
It's okay that I purposefully ignore certain phone calls. And I always will.
It's okay that I get totally sucked into an infomercial and don't realize I haven't changed the channel for about 20 minutes.
And it's okay that I haven't started cleaning yet. Which wouldn't be such a big deal except my mom is taking me back/coming with me back to Charlotte on Tuesday. Because Mr. Husband….
FINALLY GOT A JOB!!! [YAY!] but it starts on monday. which means he has to leave on christmas day. [boo!]
It's okay that I haven't planned any posts for the rest of this week. That doesn't mean there won't be any, but there's a chance I won't "see" you all until next week because I will spending much needed quality time with my family and friends. In that case…
I hope you all have
[also? i'm so very grateful for you all. old and new. thanks for stopping by and taking an interest in my little corner of the world. thanky thanks.]

Ever the stomping ground for metal and alternative's most interesting and unique acts, Bristol's ArcTanGent has dropped a massive announcement for some of the bands that will be joining djent godfathers Meshuggah in August.
Topping the list are NY post-rockers Battles, as well as post-metal luminaries Cult of Luna. Black metal experimentalism is in full force as Zeal and Ardor return for the second year in a row, as do blackgaze heroes Møl, both bands having made waves with their fantastic releases in 2018.
A whopping 39-band announcement, the release list also includes the likes of aural terrorists Daughters, incendiary newcomers Conjurer, post-hardcore bruisers Birds in Row and Sweden's premier prog-djent mashup troupe Letters From The Colony. The line-up also features post-DEP bands The Black Queen and Azusa; a welcome treat for anybody missing the maverick group following their 2017 disbandment.
Twinned with sister festival 2000 Trees, ArcTanGent stands as one of the UK's most beloved independent festivals, attracting the weird and wonderful from around the world, earning enough acclaim to land the accolade Best Small Festival at the UK Festival Awards.
Fans of both events can currently purchase a joint ticket for both events, affording them 10% off the total ticket price.
Spread across three days and four alternating stages, ArcTanGent 2019 looks to be as stacked as ever, with plenty more acts still to come. The festival is held from 15 – 17 August. Tickets are on sale now.

If you've seen the documentary, you know of Cole World's conversation with a female stranger who lost her son in accidental death. The woman's story gave J. Cole an unexpected reaction, which he describes to students in the statement below:
"That's already a tragedy I can't relate to, and I'm looking at this lady, she strong, she beautiful, she glowing. Her spirit is bright, and she went through a tragedy like that? Okay, that's amazing, first of all…She just said, "I feel like God sent me here for a purpose, everything happens fora reason, all I can do is move forward." She just hit me with God right off the bat, and all of that to say God ended up putting me right here [Southern University], I didn't know I was coming here today…I look at that as a blessing, and therefore I look at ya'll as a blessing."

The customer was very particular about the quality and the finish of the pool. They wanted a pool that the family could use for most of the year round but could be outdoors in the Summer. The pool was installed with a heat pump that was able to run well into the colder months. We also installed a Summit Leisure pool enclosure that could simply roll back in the warmer months.
The access to the site was difficult as the property is on a busy agricultural road in the middle of harvest season! This was overcome by delivering the pool shell in the evening and setting up a clear diversion for other traffic.
The pool can be enclosed or fully open within a matter of minutes and can remain in use all year. It really shows off the versatility of a pool in the UK and gives the family a year round pleasure.
"We are thrilled! Everything on the installation went perfectly and the pool was completed in a timely manor. Right on schedule!"

Talking About Feelings With Children Experiencing Serious Illness
Having a child who is very ill is one of the most difficult challenges a parent can face. Handling day-to-day medical needs can be exhausting, but often helping the child with their emotional needs can feel most stressful of all. A child's illness will impact the entire family. For children living with a serious illness or for those worried about someone with a serious illness, storybooks can be a starting point for discussion, a safe way to ask questions, express concerns or worries about the character, or talk about their own feelings or experiences. Magination Press picture book, The Gift of Gerbert's Feathers, by Dr. Meaghann Weaver and Dr. Lori Wiener, provides families with an opportunity to explore how a child and his family navigate the feelings around serious illness and death. This excerpt from the book's Guide for Parents and Caregivers provides guidance about how to engage in conversations about feelings with children experiencing serious illnesses themselves or in their families. Parents, Grandparents & Primary Caregivers Parents may want to talk about what is worrying their child the most, but are afraid if they ask too many questions, they could upset their child even more. Children may want to talk with their parents about what is worrying them, but they worry about causing their parents even more stress. Children often worry more about how their illness is impacting their parents and siblings than they worry about what is happening to themselves. In this situation: Children might talk to other important people in their life, such as a grandparent, about deep concerns before sharing them with their parent(s). This is very normal! What children need most of all is the same unconditional love and support parents and caregivers have always provided, without all the chaos of the hospital or medications. Reading a book together can provide a quiet and comforting opportunity to talk about what is happening. Other Special People Families come in all shapes and sizes, and there might be many people who play an important role in a child's life. Sometimes children don't want to worry their parents or aren't sure how their parents will respond to their thoughtful questions, and so the child may inquire of others than directly to the parents. Sharing a story, like The Gift of Gerbert's Feathers, can foster communication, providing opportunities to ask the child questions about their thoughts or feelings. This may be the only time the child feels safe enough to ask or answer such weighty questions. Make a connection to a character or situation in the story and ask the child how they feel about it. For example, "Why do you think Gerbert's mother brings him blueberries when he wasn't feeling well? What would bring you comfort?" Likewise, situations in a story may allow you to share and explore your family's beliefs about death. As a special person, you can bring the child's questions, worries, and concerns back to the child's parents to reduce the chance they willRead More

St Albans City Youth FC - Match Reports w/e 17th March 2019
ST ALBANS CITY 16's EJA 3 (Bradley Young 3) BILLERICAY TOWN 16's EJA 2 (Archie Champion, Josh Banks)
Well this match had everything as the St Albans City 16 EJA came back from being two goals down at home to go on and win 3-2 with Bradley Young scoring a great hat-trick, a back-pass which gifted Billericay their second goal to make it 2-0, a missed penalty by the Saints which would have made it 4-2 and more.
Back to the match proper a long range shot from Archie CHAMPION saw the ball swerve in the strong wind which deceived Billy Thomson the Saints keeper as the ball flew past him to make it 1-0 and then minutes later a back pass from Kyle Rahoo saw the ball go past Thomson as he had come off his line and despite the efforts Harry ''Chippy'' Brady to clear in rushed Josh BANKS to score from close range and make it 2-0.
The Saints tried to hit back and a dangerous free kick from Joe Vance was punched clear by Luis Shamshoum whilst another free kick by Vance was saved by Shamshoum lox down to his left.
Bradley Young then won a corner kick which was curled into box by Joe Vance whereupon BRADLEY YOUNG rose up to head the ball into the bottom right corner to make it 2-1 at the break.
Jack (Mars Bar) McShane then setup Ben Weyman but his shot was deflected just wide and the McShane had a cracking header pushed around the post by a good stop from Shamshoum whilst moments later the scoreline became 2-2. Jack McShane then played a good ball to BRADLEY YOUNG inside the box whereupon he held off two defenders before firing the ball low into the bottom corner despite Luis Shamshoum getting his fingertips to the ball. Jack McShane did find the back of the net from close range after Bradley Young had squared the ball across, but the flag was raised for offside for Young.
Well a third goal did come when that expert of free kicks and corner kicks saw Joe Vance hit a free kick into the box for BRADLEY YOUNG once again to meet the ball with his head and send a powerful header into the far left bottom corner to complete his hat-trick and the winning goal for the Saints to win 3-2. They should have made it 4-2 when they won a penalty when Ben Weyman was brought down in the box, but his spot kick went wide of the far post with the Billericay keeper rooted to his line, still 3-2 will do. Now for the semi-finals.
The 14 EJA played Biggleswade Town 14 EJA at home and after playing some lovely attractive football they gradually went on to win 4-1 without really getting into top gear. Scoring the goals were JOSEPH BEARDON with two penalties plus one apiece from PEREZ WATERBERG and MAX MACHEN saw the young Saints enjoy this comfortable victory in a match they completely dominated.
In the White Division of the WHYL sees the 18 North sit at the top of the table with yet another good win as they beat Chorleywood Lightning 3-1 at home with goals from Tom Hedger, Jack Hughes and Henry Piekarczyk. They have now won 14 out of the 16 league matches and have scored 67 goals and conceded 27 with a goal difference of plus 40 and they now have 43 points which means they are 12 points clear of second place Wheathampstead Wanderers Makos. Leading goalscorer is George Piekarczyk on 21 and he is followed by his brother Henry who has scored 11 goals.
At home to Watford Youth Sports were the 18 West and after a close match saw them eventually lose 2-1 with Ousama Moutiq scoring the West goal.
In division 2 of the WHYL saw the 16 Orient go down 4-1 at home to EB Lions with Joshua Haworth scoring the consolation goal for the Orient.
Away to Evergreen Youth were the 15 Boreal and giving the Boreal the three points was a super finish from Tom Randall for them to win 1-0 whilst Jason Murphy picked up the man of the match trophy.
The 14 South were at home to Harpenden Colts Lightning and despite the Saints scoring two good goals through Mackenzie Gibson and Oliver Wynne saw them eventually lose 4-2 to two late second half goals from the visitors.
Man, of the match Finn Geoghegan struck two excellent goals for the 14 West in there away game at Kings Langley Blue but the hosts hit seven to go on and win the game 7-2.
The 13 Victoria scored three good goals away to Tring Tornadoes Titans and kept a clean sheet as they went on to win 3-0. For the first saw Zak Davies hit a cracking free kick which the keeper couldn't hold onto and Ashton Latter was the quickest to react and he scored from close range. Goal number two came about after good play down the right between Ollie Mullen, Archie Hobbs and Gabriel Urhoma for Freddie Roe to lift the ball over defenders for Alex Strazza to calmly slot the ball past the keeper as he came of his line. Another nice team move ended with Ashton Latter scoring again after his first shot was saved but he quickly reacted again, and the keeper could do nothing about his second stinging shot. The man of the match was Martin Flore who was asked to play in 4 different positions and did not put a foot wrong in any of them and Benjy Stone was a very close second to the title as he had to deal with Tring's best player and most of their attacks down the left flank and he did it brilliantly. The hail stones at the end was a nice touch to a very satisfying afternoon for the 13 Victoria. Phew that's all for now from the VICS.
The 12 South had a superb home win over Berkhamsted Raiders Blue with the South hitting the crossbar and the post before they finally opened the scoring with a goal from Sam Estell and following some great football from the Saints, they doubled their lead with a goal from Owen Weaver. The man of the match went to defender Ryan Kennedy.
The 12 Arrows played a double header against Hemel Aces Lions and they won the first game 3-0 with goals from Cathal Gleeson, Finlay Murphy and Alfie Wollington. In the second match they lost 2-1 with Finlay Murphy scoring yet another goal whilst the man of the match went Ollie Denyer in the first game whilst Liam Powell picked up the award in the second match.
Also playing a double header was the 12 Dragons and they had mixed fortunes as well when they won the first game 2-1 against Bovingdon Thunder but lost the second match 3-0. Scoring in the first match was Steven Jacobs with two good goals whilst Joe McLoughlin was named man of the match for both games.
Away to Herons saw the 12 West win 4-0 with goals from Charlie Rose 2, Tommy (that's my boy) Morgan plus one from Kye Stevens.
The 12 12 Central were in good form as they beat Croxley Green Emerald 4-1 away with Tyler Gullin-Hall scoring two goals whilst both Dean Bladon and Stephen Tchoudi got one apiece. The man of the match for Central went Oliver Chisholm.

The AEK Eagles are now on 22 points whilst the South are on 21 with a game in hand plus a better goal difference of plus 26.

Playing HGS Academy Scrabble Tempo for the second time in 3 weeks in a Spring Shield Group D match were the 15 North and the scoreline was the same with the North winning 3-1 as they did in their first match with them. Tyler Cadiou-McCarthy scored the first goal whilst goals from Josh Doyle and Shay Cassidy wrapped the scoreline up. The man of the match went to the hard-working Joe Knee.
In the Spring Cup Group B match saw the 15 East take the lead after on 55 seconds when Brandon Trainis with a delightful 25 yards lob found the back of the net to give them a 1-0 lead at home over Boreham Wood 2000 Red with Jack Jacobs setting him up. On 70 minutes the young Saints took a 2-0 lead when Dan Gant sent a lovely pass to Tom Merritt who with a cool finish put them two goals up. Boreham Wood pulled a goal back but then on 80 minutes Jamie Hilton put over a cross from the right which saw Dan Gant slot the ball through the keeper's legs to make the final score 3-1 to the 15 East.
The 14 East were playing Hinton & Finchley Revolution at home and the visitors are top of the White division, but the 14 East gave them a good run for their money and although the Saints scored two fine goals through Sam Boca-Mapp and Henry Thomas, but the visitors hit back to go on and win 4-2. The man of the match was given to Finn Denton who did a good defensive job on their top player.
Playing a double header against AC Finchley West were the 13 South and in their first game saw them win 3-0 with goals from George Dalton, Mason Leightwood and Joe Varney. In the other match saw the South lose 2-1 with Mason Leightwood scoring yet another fine goal for the South.

Carter Davies also scored a well taken goal as well for the 9 East with a neat finish following a nice team move.
Away to Maccabi London Lions Panthers were the Under 7's and they took part in a high scoring match with plenty of goals being scored by both teams and scoring for the 7's were Oscar Howlett with an excellent brace whilst both Henry Neville and Eddie Bailey both scored one each.
Taking part in a very high scoring game were the 8 Lions as they played Wheathampstead Wanderers Pumas at home and with both teams scoring plenty of goals saw the Lions score 7 and scoring them was man of the match Joshua Jury with a brilliant hat-trick. Also finding the back of the net for the Lions were Finley Maguire with two whilst both Harry Turnbull and Matthew Denning scored one apiece.
The 9 South were away to Bury Rangers Reds in the White division and although the South worked hard throughout the whole of the game, they just decided they could not give the man of the match award to just anyone player.
The 10 East played at home in the Green Division Cup against Lemsford Youth Jaguars and despite a well taken goal from Tom Luckhurst the East eventually lost 2-1 with Gabriel Odunlami being named as their star player after giving good performances in both defence and attack.
The 10 Romans continue to march along in their match with Codicote Youth which saw Theo Turley score 4 goals with singles from Matthew Ellis, Ross Hayden and Harry Bishop Camba to wrap up their scoreline.

A Connecticut is "golden"
First found by birding extraordinaire Sean Sime, a CONNECTICUT WARBLER (COWA ) , seen only in autumn in these parts is today's top bird. It hung around most of the mid morning in the woods back of the "thumb" along the weld wire fence that runs parallel to the lake shore; but it moved around, seen also near the "hand" cove water edge, walking on a low limb of a hornbeam tree, and a few other spots in the backwoods of the Thumb. A later report from Richard Payne placed the bird at 2 pm along the trail heading into the thumb. I just now received a report from Kathy Toomey at 3:10 the COWA moving to the Peninsula tip , closer to the rustic gazebo.
Now for the second good bird: GOLDEN WINGED WARBLER. Paige Linden tweeted out a report of this rarity at the woods near the Zoo Compost yard outside the north zoo fence, just east of the Dongan Oak monument. She also reported good avian activity including a PHILADELPHIA VIREO.
Speaking of the latter, there were three PHILADELPHIA VIREOS in the park today. Ed Crowne saw two bright plumaged birds together low in the Butterfly Meadow atop Lookout Hill around 10 am. Rob Jett reported a single bird above the Wellhouse about 11:30. The Brooklyn Bird club walk had one in the Peninsula around noon. Its possible the two on Lookout split. But conservatively , we'll go with three birds here.
Also reported were some good warblers. TENNESSEE at Lookout Hill Butterfly meadow ( with the 2 Philly Vireos) and another in the Peninsula; CAPE MAY in Butterfly Meadow early this morning.
Other early birds or unusual species now today is worth mentioning. A RINGNECKED DUCK, an early WHITE THROATED SPARROW and early RUBY CROWNED KINGLET seemed out of place for the early autumn season ( and by the calendar its still summer !)
Lists and maybe more reports are pending, especially the BBC walk is forthcoming.

"Superconductivity is electricity with no resistance."
Superconductivity is electricity with no resistance. The loss in the transference of energy in traditional ways can be as high as 12%. HT Superconductors are cooled to as low as -250C or -480F. We really want to try an organic approach with a few different thoughts and theories to get the temperature closer to a possible usable reality.

City of Sioux City websiteHome Menu
Neighborhood Services
Welcome to Neighborhood Services! Neighborhood Services is located on the 3rd Floor of City Hall in Room 305. Our goal is to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic development opportunities. Working within these goals we create programs that provide affordable housing, neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and services to low-income and special needs populations.
In order to carry out our programs we use three primary federal funding sources from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD):
- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
- Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Program
- Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program
- Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Program
If you would like more information about these funding sources, call us at 712-279-6328 or email us at email@example.com.
The following reports are required by HUD and detail how we use CDBG, HOME and ESG funds:
- Please click HERE for the FY 2020 - 2024 Consolidated Plan and FY 2020 Annual Action Plan
- Consolidated Plan Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) (Please click link for documents): The CAPER summarizes how we have used CDBG, HOME and ESG funds to enrich the lives of low and moderate income families and to further the goals of community growth and sustainability over the past year.
- Year Five (2019) Action Plan: The plan, which outlines how we will provide programs and services using CDBG, HOME, and ESG from July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020, can be found by clicking HERE.
- FY 2015 - 2019 Consolidated Plan (Please click link for documents): The FY 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan addresses how we will provide programs and services using CDBG, HOME and ESG funds over the next five years.
- Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (Please click link for documents): The cities of Sioux City, IA; South Sioux City, NE; and Dakota City, NE; are recognized as a HUD consortium for the purposes of receiving annual federal grants through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the HOME Investment Partnership Program and the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) program.Receipt of HUD funds requires the consortium to certify that it will "affirmatively further fair housing." As a result, the three cities have to conduct an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, develop actions to overcome the effects of identified impediments to fair housing choice and maintain records to support the City's initiatives to affirmatively further fair housing. HUD defines an impediment to fair housing as any action, omission or decision that restricts or has the effect of restricting the availability of housing choices based on race, color, religion, sex, disability (physical or mental), familial status or national origin. In Iowa, protection under state human rights law is extended to include discrimination based on gender identity. In addition to these provisions, the City of Sioux City extends further protection based on age and marital status. Nebraska's Fair Housing Act does not expand upon the federally protected classes.

I've come up for air after the Art Star Holiday Craft Bazaar, if only for a moment. The weekend was a success and I feel pretty good about how my first time at the rodeo went. It didn't hurt to pair up with Art Star veteren Maria Eife wh also has an international show plus the Martha Stewart Holiday Craft Show under her belt.
I presented (and sold!) an assortment of combs, pins, picks, joined earrings, hats, and talon charms. Below is a smattering of the pieces I've been toiling away in my ivory tower creating:
A chicken feather hair pin with vintage jewelry elements,
More chicken feathers with more vintage jewelry,
And look! An equestrian flair! I finally got around to creating those horse shoe themed pieces I promised my polo buddies so many months ago! Perhaps this Summer I'll actually follow through and sell some at the Friday Night matches…
Some of the combs were feather based while otehrs were built around entire taxidermied wings. Below is an in betweener, comprised of the taxidermied tail of a chicken.
Oh look! A frizzle chicken wing! Perhaps now would be a good time to let you know that 90% of my feathered elements come from my dear friends Bailey and Thomas. They are quite possible the sweetest, kindest and most compassionate farmers this world may ever know. Yes, My opinion is totally biased. They keep an outstanding blog in which they document their adventures in farming, please give it a read: The Farmers Husband.
Another winged comb. I would also like to give a shout out to my dear friend Daniel who owns Wilbur Vintage for letting me purchase his odds and ends of vintage gems.
For those who choose not to sport a long mane, fret not! Stick pins are always within reach. Pop one into your hat, your lapel, blouse, sweater, bag, etc.
This one belwo didn't sell, much to my surprise. Instead, it and one cimilar to it are en route to a faraway city as I write this, where it will make Christmas gifts for a pair of very special friends.
The gang! (some of them, anyway)
I also made a trial run of these fur bangles with tails for the show. People responded quite positively so I intend to tweek the design a bit and create a series.
Perfect for gesticulating wildly at cocktail parties…
I also created three new higher end head pieces for the show, as my little neon signs to lure in passers by. They absolutley did the trick, and had many a lady tryign them on.
Right here is a vintage rabbit fur pillbox hat to which I added a chicken tail, with feathers from other birds.
Here's a view of the side. Can you guess what that super fluffy soft yellow plush is?
It's gosling! Compliments of another farmer friend of mine, Jeannie. I sewed another patch on the opposite side:
Next up: A vintage velvet fascinator base with a pair of chicken wings on one side and down on the other:
It's hard to see form these photos (all of these hats need to be reshot on a model's head, but I also added a small metal crown jewel charm to each side; a reference to my new logo, which you'll see below.
Laslty, my fave piece of all, this vintage black felt hat base with chicken wings, vintage jewelry adn a tassel made by yours truly. I have a thing for fringe and tassels, and I think you do too:
That's actually the side view. Below is the hat, straight on. The curved shape frames the wearer's face beautifully. I just adore this hat.
On Friday night my husband came and got a few shots of our booth. Here it is, our gypsy caravan in all its glory:
My "side" of the booth:
Like that fox? I worked with the very talented designer Dave Seater to create it and a more cohesive look for all my online presences, which you will be seeing soon. He's the best. The fox with the crown was entirely my idea though; I think it really embodies the Diamond Tooth philosophy.
Here I am making a sale! Yippee! Like I said, I feel pretty good about how I did this weekend, as a greenhorn. I visited with Sue Eggen at her booth, Giant Dwarf where she not only promised to play hat model for my next set of shots but also to toss some much needed (my words, not hers) pearls of wisdom my way in regard to navigating through this wild and wacky craft show life. Sue, I'm holding you to both these things!
And that is all for the craft bazaar, now its time to work on my entry for this year's Carniverous Nights competition. If you plan on coming, buy your tickets now! ALso coming up: A cat, a fox, a hamster, a rabbit, more bridal pieces and the next 20for20 gift which is going to a mystery man that some of you may have dressed as for Halloween as children…

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure where localized fat is broken up and sucked out of the body. Liposuction is performed by making small incisions in the body in order to insert a thin tube, or cannula, through the incision into localized fat deposits between the skin and muscle of the patient. A suction pump or syringe is then used to suck out localized fat deposits.
Recovery time after liposuction is usually one to two weeks, depending on the area of the body and the amount of localized fat sucked out. You will see the end results of Liposuction within one to four months after the procedure.
Liposuction is painful but most surgeons perform the procedure under general anaesthesia to ensure that patients don't feel pain. They also prescribe painkillers for relieving pain after surgery.
The liposuction procedure permanently removes localized fat. The patient's body will retain its contour after liposuction, provided the patient does not gain weight.
Liposuction procedures that do not use injections or incisions are called non-surgical liposuction procedures. These procedures are performed using laser energy, ultrasound, cryotherapy or radiofrequency.
Following the doctor's post-procedure instructions helps patients to recover quickly and effectively after a liposuction procedure. These will include taking sufficient rest, taking prescribed anti-biotics and pain-killers and wearing compression garments correctly. The patient should also start moving as soon as possible to prevent blood clots but should avoid strenuous activities for at least a month.

"Old Baldy", was not the first beacon to stand on Bald Head Island, NC. The first was the 1795 Bald Head Island Light Station — actually the first lighthouse structure built in North Carolina. The first light station, however, was built too close to the water, was plagued with erosion problems and was torn down by 1810. In 1817 the 109-foot-tall Old Baldy was built of bricks coated with cement on the outside. Inside it has a ground floor of brick and a stone floor in the lantern room, while the rest of the floors are Carolina yellow pine. It still has the original 12″ by 14″ double-glazed windows from Boston. Because of the limited range of its lens, the Bald Head Island Lighthouse was not useful for warning ships away from Frying Pan Shoals, which extend over 30 nautical miles out into the ocean. In 1854 Congress voted to place a lightship on the shoals. When the Cape Fear Lighthouse, a 150-foot steel skeleton structure, was built on the shoals in 1903, Old Baldy was downgraded to a low-intensity non-blinking light. The Bald Head Island Lighthouse was discontinued in 1935, but from 1941 to 1958 the structure housed a radio beacon to guide ships in low visibility. Now, 200 years later, Old Baldy will be the center of the National Lighthouse Weekend Celebration on Bald Head Island, NC. The Celebration will begin on Friday, August 4, 2017 and will run through Sunday, August 6, 2017. Included will be the Maritime Classic Run for the Light.
A free event on Oak Island, NC on Friday, August 5, 2017 could save your life. Ocean Safety Day will begin at 8 AM and run until 1 PM at the 16th Place East Beach Access. Swim and surf instructors partnered with members of the Oak Island Water Rescue, Oak Island Fire Department and the Sunset Beach Patrol will give talks and answer questions. You can even learn the basics of CPR.
Beginning today, August 3, 2017 you have the chance to wax nostalgic at the Amuzu Theater, in Southport, NC, at the show, "It's Gotta Be Rock and Roll Music." This show will run today, August 3 through Sunday, August 6 and August 17 through 20. Thursday and Friday shows begin at 7:30 PM and Sunday shows begin at 3 PM. Seating is limited and the $20 tickets are available from Ricky Evans Gallery and Color Me Carolina. More information at: 910-523-2552.

A Meditation on Psalm 28
To you, O Lord, I call;
my rock, be not deaf to me,
lest, if you be silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.
Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,
when I cry to you for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward your most holy sanctuary.
Do not drag me off with the wicked,
with the workers of evil,
who speak peace with their neighbors
while evil is in their hearts.
Give to them according to their work
and according to the evil of their deeds;
give to them according to the work of their hands;
render them their due reward.
Because they do not regard the works of the Lord
or the work of his hands,
he will tear them down and build them up no more.
Blessed be the Lord!
For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.
The Lord is the strength of his people;
he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
Oh, save your people and bless your heritage!
Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
In David's other psalms of lament, we see him cry out to the Lord in response to his enemies, as in Psalm 3, "O Lord, how many are my foes!" Not so here. In this psalm, David cries out simply that the Lord may hear him and that he may hear the Lord. The point of the psalm is entirely that David wishes to hear the voice of God, because it is life to him. How great is the power of the Lord's voice, and how dependent we are on it! In this psalm, it is the essential difference between David and the wicked. It's the consequence that he outlines in the first sentence of the psalm: "…if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit."
The enemies that we are accustomed to seeing in the laments are not absent from this psalm, but they are present only as a basis of comparison. David does not want to go down to the pit, to be dragged off like the wicked. The wicked themselves are not a danger to David in this psalm. They have little agency at all in this psalm. Instead, they are objects to be rejected, and David does not want the Lord to reject him. He wants the Lord to accept him, and the evidence that the Lord has accepted him is that He speaks to him.
David's faith in this psalm is a reversal of what normally think about faith. We normally think about faith as a matter of our responding to the Lord's voice. The word of the Lord comes first, followed by our faithful obedience in response to it. David teaches us that the voice of God is also the object of our faithful obedience. We are faithful so that we may hear God.
Scripture teaches us that the relationship works both ways. "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ" (Rom 10.17), but even Israel who heard the voice of the Lord refused to listen to it because of their lack of faith. Instead, they crucified the Word. So it is with all the wicked; there is a lack of faith so profound that it will not listen to the voice of the Lord. Let us be faithful so that we may increase in our faith!
Most of the psalm is about why the wicked are to be rejected. David presents a series of contrasts. First, he contrasts their hearts. The hearts of the wicked are full of evil, whereas David's heart is full of trust for the Lord; therefore, he receives the Lord's help, whereas they are dragged off into hell. Then, David contrasts their works. The works of the wicked are evil, opposed to the works of the Lord. Because of that, the Lord will render them their due reward: to be torn down.
In the contrasts of this psalm, David holds up the two pillars of the Faith: belief in God and righteous works. We know that both are essential if we desire the Lord's favor. The one who does not believe in the Father and in His only Son, Jesus Christ, is already condemned (John 3.18), and faith without works is dead (James 2.17).
May our hearts and hands always be like David's, inclined to God! May we listen faithfully for the voice of the Lord! May He answer us when we call! O Lord, save your people and bless your heritage!

Rushing into the hut and out of the torrential downpour, Christel came to a complete stop as Aiden plowed into her back. "Ryder!"
Terror for Christel ripped down Ryder's spine, emotions so high his hands shook. "What are you doing here?"
"C-came to check on, Grizela." Christel shook out her cloak then hung it on a peg. "Didn't know you would be here."
"You must have known Grizela passed on a few weeks ago." Ryder had heard about the old lady as well as Christel's visits.
"Caught." Christel shrugged then sat down, her brows furrowed. "Ryder, I can't stay at the MacLaren castle, not with Richy under the same roof. I just can't. I won't."
"And you came along for moral support?" Blade turned to Aiden his tone fierce.
"Couldn't let her go by herself." Aiden slipped from her coat then placed it beside Christel's. "I'm hungry."
"You could have been the voice of reason." Ryder roughed his hands through his hair then across his face. He didn't know what to do—couldn't send her back to a place where she was terrified. Didn't want to bring her along for fear of reprisals when they stole the baby back. But he sensed if he took her home, she and Aiden would follow on their own. Perhaps he should be thankful he and Blade visited Owen before they left and were caught by the storm.
"I knew she'd go with me or without me." Aiden rummaged through the pack and brought out fried chicken and scones. She opened her water bottle and drank then wiped her mouth with her sleeve. "In this case there was no such thing as a voice of reason."
"Aiden, I swear you still don't have an iota of common sense. You flit about as if the world is a safe place." Blade's gaze could have sent sparks flying Aiden's direction.
"Well, Christel made it here from London by herself." Aiden shot back at Blade. "She's quite capable and so am I."
"Stop arguing and let it be. Now that we are all here together we will continue on the trip—together—when the storm lets up. Probably tomorrow morning." God, it would be hell to sleep in different beds. He'd touched her last night, loved her, and discovered how much he was going to miss her. Now he had to watch her sleep from a distance. Surely the devil danced around them, tempting him. "Just let it be." This last said for himself more than anyone else.
"Thank you. I'm glad you're not going to send us back." Christel slipped her arm through his and smiled at him.
The expression melted his heart. He wanted to pull her into his arms and kiss her then he wanted to make love to her. But none of this was going to be possible, not tonight or any other night until they were married. Maybe they could find a small parish on the way and say their vows.

Dear Diary, Gotta keep reminding myself it isn't that type of blog. So…food. That is kinda my passion. My friends and family view it as cooking passion, but let's be honest if I didn't get to eat the food I wouldn't cook the food. You're not here to read about eating food and because we don't teach any classes for eating food (yet) we'll move on to cooking.
CEWT (pronounced sweet) isn't a culinary arts school. There aren't long courses that go over the basics, hone techniques or explore the full depth of cooking. What you will find are courses with specific goals, like the cooking class I attended, Thai Red Curry Beef. I would normally find it difficult to write about an experience that only lasted roughly 3 hours, but when it produces something your passionate about it, the words just flow.
If you have never been in a professional kitchen, it's different from what you might expect. On TV, kitchens seem very open, organized in a way that looks good to the viewer, and almost always look like nothing had ever been cooked there. This kitchen was very different. I quickly learned the difference between pretty and functional. The class space reminded me of my kitchen at home. Utensils are placed in seemingly random spots that are only later revealed to be strategic, when you realize that spoon within your reach is just the right size to scoop out curry paste.
The instructor was exactly what you would picture and I mean that in a very positive way. She had all the required experience needed to teach the class and an approachability needed to cater to the varying level of skill in her students. She didn't hold anyone's hand, but she made it easy to ask questions. This cooking teacher was good at both cooking and teaching is what I am trying to get at here…and it made for an awesome class.
The class was made up of a rag tag band of misfits. A couple (not the "together" kind of couple) of people were there because they wanted to learn to cook for their significant other (that one is the "together" couple). The third person wanted to expand their repitor…repitour… cooking library. My reasons were pure. It was simple math. Food + Belly = Happy. The cooking part was the least interesting, but I will power through it so that I can finally talk about the eating. The experience was really nice. The made-from-scratch curry paste was a group effort. We each chopped ¼ of the vegetables to make the paste. It was a tasty team building exercise. Moving past that we were on our own. In my mind it was an "Iron Chef" competition. The instructor watched us like an eagle…a hawk…a sealion? a kindergarten teacher. She had all 5 senses on the ready to make sure we all prepared an amazing dish. At one point someone's sauce was starting to evaporate and she was ready with more broth. My heat was too high and I was about to burn my sauce, but she swooped in and saved the day by glancing over my shoulder to say, "You should turn down your heat so you don't burn the sauce." [Mic drop.]
After we finished cooking we sat down in the dining area and had a very pleasant conversation. Well actually they had a very pleasant conversation. I had to shut down some senses to fully enjoy what was in front of me. I won't describe the experience because it won't do it justice so I will move on to the end of the course. To my surprise we all went back in the kitchen and started to clean up after ourselves…you know like adults. I guess you could call it another team building exercise, but I called it free labor. But, weirdly, it was actually really fun. The instructor talked about where we could get some of the ingredients that are more difficult to find. After almost 10 grueling minutes of light scrubbing we said some heartfelt goodbyes and were on our way. I left with high spirits and a full tummy. This is an experience that I am looking to repeat and I hope to see you there too!

The 2018 winter olympics in PyeongChang is forecast to be the coldest on record with temperatures set to dip to an icy minus 14 celsius during the opening ceremony.
As organisers hand out blankets and heat packs to mitigate the risk of frostbite and hypothermia among spectators, we take a look at the athletes' equipment – what they'll be using and wearing. Here regulations are so strict, a stray piece of tape could cost you your medal.
For the ski jump
Possibly the maddest sport in the history of mankind, ski jumping or "flying" as it is also known, is also one of the most tightly regulated events in the winter olympics. As competitors launch themselves from the "normal" hill, or the death-defying "large" hill, their skis and ski suits offer air resistance, helping them to glide for longer before they make touchdown.
Controversy has surrounded the use of extra-baggy suits, and, in the past, some athletes have even fallen prey to eating disorders in their bid to remain slimmer and skim further. For this reason suits, which are cut from a spongy material, must follow the contours of the skier's body, within 2cm of their skin.
By rights, anyone setting out to ski off a precipice ought to be rescued and treated in a private clinic. But it's fine if you're wearing skis. As long as they're a particular length – no more than 145% of your height.
Take the plunge
Chilly though it must be out on the ice, it's always tempting to give your chances of winning a medal for figure skating an extra boost by showing just a little more of your highly toned flesh than is strictly necessary.
Judges, however took a somewhat dim view of this practice in the 1988 winter olympics in Calgary. Katarina Witt donned a costume with a neckline that plunged so low she risked full exposure with every triple-salco.
Despite awarding Katerina back-to-back golds, those overseeing events felt her rather revealing outfits pushed the envelope of acceptability a little too far, insisting that in future, "clothing must not give the effect of excessive nudity".
Taped confession
Long gone are the days when gentlemen risked their necks hurtling down the Cresta Run protected by nothing more than their tweeds and a nip of something warming.
What began as a test of nerve for British aristocrats who missed rugger, cold showers and the rigours of public school, has become a sport whose rules are so strict it would have any slightly twisted headmaster reaching for his cane.
Imagine former American skeleton world champ, Noelle Pikus-Pace's horror when after having hurtled head first down a very steep hill to win a World Cup competition, she was disqualified for having a tiny piece of tape attached to her sled handle. The tape, judges said, might have been performance enhancing.
Underwear optional
The only event, it seems, that's not governed by strict dress rules is the noble sport of curling. This ice-bound equivalent of pub darts requires only that exponents wear matching clobber. And while if your team opts to wear kilts, any tights should be matching, organisers don't appear to stipulate whether or not it's necessary to be traditionally un-clad beneath your tartan.
Having said that, judges are, as ever, on the eagle-eyed lookout for cheats. Among the list of contraband, you'll find heated brush pads, laser guns used to work out the speed of the stones, and battery operated brush heads.
Travel advice
To freeze as many bums to seats as possible, the organisers of this year's winter olympics have been at pains to prevent spectators flying to the wrong city.
To this end, Pyeongchang has suddenly become PyeongChang – the new capitalisation of the 'C' an attempt to differentiate the Southern district where most of the events are to take place, from North Korea's capital Pyongyang – a destination which offers an altogether more frosty welcome.
Travelling to the winter spectacle? Our advice: wrap up warm, see if you can acquire one of the VIP's special blankets (which are apparently thicker than the one you'll be given) and wear plenty of layers to keep out the cold.

Oh Afton, Sweet Afton!
Really, Afton 50K is pretty sweet. John and Cheri have the RDing of the Rocksteady Races down and they go on without a hitch. Afton was my first 50K, way back in 2002. It was a training run, in March of 2002, before my first 50 miler, Ice Age. I bonked big time and actually had to be carried off the trail…I blacked out..it was pretty crazy scene. I hadn't eaten -although I was instructed too-I drank WAY too much water and the course was more than I had ever handled before. However, I learned so much and I did not die.
Afton holds a special place in my heart. I've run the race 10 times, have trained there numerous times with my closest of friends and have had so many laughs and smiles.
I am thrilled that I am feeling so great this year and able to run the race two weeks out from my last. It's not like I'm 'racing', I'm running, building back my endurance and having a ball.
My alarm buzzed me awake at 3AM Saturday. After spending a week at the cabin I was tired! I eventually moved out of bed and got ready for the day, heading out before 4, arriving at the course at 530. Plenty of time to get my packet, my shirts, visit with friends. So many friends!
Maria and I hung at the start line, had the obligatory UMTR photo shoot and were ready to roll.

The morning was warm, it was going to be a hot day. Slow and steady was the plan…with lots of fun sprinkled in!
I didn't feel any anxiety while running Afton. I know the course, I know the peeps, I'm less than 2 hours from home, I felt great. I brought my iphone along to try music if I wanted but I never played any. I just enjoyed listening to my thoughts, my breathing, to nature.
The first few miles were congested as we all found our place. The aid stations came quickly and I was glad that I had decided to wear a pack as I never have while running Afton before. However, my time between aid stations is a bit longer than the past and it was a holy hot day. I cruised through the first few aid stations, not needing anything. At around mile 8 the speedsters of the 25K race began to pass. At first this was fine, I just moved aside, but eventually I found myself becoming SO irritated. There were over 600 of them and most of them passed me during that first loop. I was constantly being run down – sometimes on both sides, so I just stood there, letting them pass as many shouted out that they were on my left or right, expecting me to step off of the trail. After I while I told myself to chill out, but I did find myself not stepping off of the trail as much and just letting them get around on their own one way or another.
I planned to fill my pack at AS 5 where I knew my old running pals would be. Sure enough, as I ran in I spotted Nancy, Tom and Alicia. Tom filled my pack and I was greeted with hugs by the others. It was so great! As I was running out Jeffrey caught up with me for a big wet hug. I've missed these guys!
Speed work hasn't really come into play yet since I began to run in February so earlier in the race I decided to try it out. I was feeling so good, why not? I ran faster minutes here and there in the open field areas, thinking I'd see if I could get 16 miles done in 3:20 or so, then thinking I'd slow down the second loop to finish in 730-800. The 320 would be fast for me in the shape that I am in, but it would be fun to try.
Sure enough, I came into the start/finish at 317. Wow. Super. I feel fine. OK, now I'll do loop 2 in 4:30, I figured, finishing in 745-8. I slowed down, enjoyed the fact that I was no longer being run down by 25Kers and just really enjoyed myself. I was by myself most of the 2nd loop, feeling the heat, feeling my body move, enjoying the run. I didn't have any foot pain, I felt strong. I felt hydrated and had plenty of energy. I took in the course, reliving all of the memories that it brought with it. 2014 was the last year that I ran the race. The course was stunning with the river, the hills, the singletrack, the new downhill trail recently completed and of course all of the happy faces at the aid stations.

At mile 22 I was ready for COKE. I came into the aid station and drank a few glasses, then again at the final aid station. I was ready to run into the finish. Sure enough, a few miles out, I'm running downhill and catch my foot on a root. Boom, I go down, fully sprawled out and sliding down the hill. Good grief! I pick myself up, collect myself and run on. Time to wrap up this race.
At 702 I ran into the finish line; faster than I intended and feeling better than I believed I could. What an amazing day.
Mike Wheeler photo
The finish line was bustling with people so I hung out for an hour or so before heading for home, fully gratified and feeling blessed.

Hannibal: 3.7 Digestivo
The first half of season three came to an astonishing end this week, as the Mason Verger and Florence story arcs came to their dramatic conclusion, enabling the show to pave the way for the upcoming Red Dragon adaptation. And what an end it was - first the first time this year, this was the Hannibal of old; not a moment was wasted as Jack, Will and Alana faced their personal demons and Hannibal was brought into the custody of the FBI, if not in the way we expected.
There was no Gillian Anderson this week, but Jack's role served as a coda for the Florence arc. The corrupt detectives apprehended Hannibal and Will just as the latter was about to head his skull removed. It was the scene the last episode neglected to show the audience in favour of jumping straight into their capture before Mason; personally I would have preferred the scene to have been part of Dolce but at least here it gave Jack Crawford some valuable screen time.
Yet again I feared for Jack, this time when the detective in Mason Verger's pocket ordered him dead as a 'cover' for Hannibal's last kill. It would have been a truly tragic ending but a fitting one, though I am also grateful to have more Laurence Fishburne on the show. Having Chioya save him was a great touch and enabled him to send her into the midst of the horrors at Muskrat Farm.
Refocusing the story back in the US, Hannibal delivered one of its greatest episodes, not just the highlight of the season but perhaps the entire three years.
"You're going to eat him... With my face?" Will asked with disbelief as Mason entertained him and Hannibal at the dinner table. Fuelled by revenge and letting his sadistic tendencies run riot, we witnessed complete and utter madness as Mason unveiled his plan to cut off Will's face, wear it as his own while Hannibal was slowly disemboweled and cooked, piece by piece. Yes it was completely sick but it verged on darkly comic in nature; only a show like this could maintain that level of drama and horror without descending into pantomime.
I adored Hannibal's bemusement at the whole situation as he was carted into Mason's house and his deep appreciation - almost admiration - for the manner in which Dr. Cordell Doemling planned to cook him to 'perfection'; if anything that admiration stemmed both ways. The discussion over how to cook Hannibal's tongue (boiled and cooked in garlic and parsley and olive oil) was dark and delightful topped off by Hannibal's rounding approval of "a simple dish!"
The twisted plan was not the only horrific moment of this episode; Margot discovering the dead baby inside the surrogate pig was in many ways more vile than victims assembled into a totem pole or sewn together in a bizarre collage. It spoke to the true insanity of Mason Verger, arguably one of the greatest TV villains in recent history with Joe Anderson easily quelling any concerns over the recasting of the role for this season.
Of course everything came together magnificently the moment Alan released with great irony that she needed to free the imprisoned Hannibal to save Will and destroy Mason Verger. The villain of the series also became the hero, delivering the audience one stunning, gasp-worthy moment after another. Tricking the audience into believing Will really had lost his face until it was revealed that Hannibal had cut off Cordell's, putting an end to the psychopathic cook - there is only room for one of them in this show.
As questionable as it might have been, Margot revealing that she had harvested her brother's sperm to continue the family line before killing him was a stunning turn of events. I always imagined that Maosn would end up fed to his own pigs but somehow drowning with the electric eel funneling down his throat felt far worse. It was certainly uncomfortable to watch, as satisfying as Mason's demise might have been. There was also something oddly cathartic at Margot and Alan killing Mason together, though I wonder still how the good psychiatrist can come back from that.
And then we had Hannibal carrying Will back home, with his guardian angel of death Chioya shooting Mason's men to allow their escape. I found the reunion between the two killers a little underwhelming; Chioya will likely go down as an intriguing but ultimately undeveloped element of Hannibal season three.
We ended with the 'break up'. Hannibal might have saved Will - if you get past the whole manipulating him into becoming a killer, stabbing him in the gut and then trying to remove his skull - but the question over whether Will would join, kill or arrest him was answered in an unsuspecting way. Will wanted nothing to do with him; he was redeemed. The episode ended with a sense of hope for Will; the events of the show would certainly have taken its toll but he wasn't completely lost to darkness, something which will surely play its part in the final run of episodes.
But then in a final cruel twist of fate, Hannibal refused to give up, choosing to have himself in to Jack Crawford rather than go free, all because it was a way to stay close to Will. "Congratulations, Jack. You caught the Chesapeake Ripper." Hannibal mused as he was handcuffed outside Will's house. "I didn't catch you." Jack retorted. "You surrendered." It was a final dark twist of the knife in a richly dark, tragic, dramatic episode that was as much a season finale - and a finale for everything up to this point - as the end of this little story.
If season three truly is the last of Bryan Fuller's Hannibal then Red Dragon will surely be the all mighty coda to the relationship between Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham. For all my grumblings over the 'art-house' cinema of recent episodes, Digestivo redeemed the show, with one of the greatest episodes of television since...the Hannibal season two finale...

How To Get Your Dog To Sleep–Tips And Tricks
That wonderful dog of yours helped ease your pain. See https://healthybacksupport.com/pets-and-pain-management. However, it's frustrating for you to see your four-legged friend spending one sleepless night after the other. Sleep deprivation can have serious impact on your dog. So, it's a great idea that you know how to get your dog to sleep through the night for his or her peace and yours. If you're like me, you're getting really tired of all those talking animal movies. That said, if your dog could talk to you these are some of the ways it may appreciate your help.
# 1 – Check fоr Changes That Might Make Your Dog Not Sleep
Did you just nod your head and smile? Yap, In some ways you dog is just like you. After all, you sleep like a log when you're in your own bed, with the same setting and following a particular schedule.
Dogs also like familiarity, they like things tо bе the way they аrе, іn that similar order, night after night. Thе first thing уоu do then іѕ tо check іf there has bееn аnу change іn their order. Did you, for example, do the following:
- Change the position of the dog's bedding?
- Shift your dog's sleeping crate?
Think of any change that could have brought on the sleepless nights; then work on restoring everything back to what used to be.
# 2 – Prepare The Bed So Your Dog Sleeps Well
People who suffer from chronic pain know better than anyone else the importance of a comfortable bed. So, you can almost guess what I'm going to say. When it's sleeping time for your dog, make sure that the sleeping area is very comfortable for him or her—use a soft bedding. Make sure that уоu do nоt change anything оf the place and/оr bedding that the dog sleeps іn.
# 3 – It's All іn Thе Training to Make Your Dog Sleep Well
Think about the little things that you might do to train your body to know that sleep time is near. You might listen to soothing music or take a hot bath. I, myself, don't watch anything violent or heavy before going to bed. It's a signal to my body that I'm ready to ease into a calming experience—ready to sleep. You need to train your dog on commands like 'sit' and 'stay' ѕо that hе or she knows when іt іѕ required tо retire fоr the night. Alѕо, do nоt еvеr lеt your dog get into the habit оf barking and yelling and then уоu proceeding tо open the door. The dog will associate the two—I bark and you open the door.
# 4 – Exercising іѕ Important in Helping Your Dog Sleep Well
You're starting to get the drift, right? When you're tired, you sleep better. It's the same with your dog. Get your dog rеаllу tired bеfоrе bedtime and іt wіll sleep better. If the dog sleeps іn the evening, then it most likely won't bе sleepy аt night. That's the last thing you want. Sо, make sure that this doesn't happen. In addition, іf you provide plenty of exercise for the dog—maybe get some tips on dog training videos— it wіll bе rеаllу tired and go off into а deep, undisturbed sleep.
# 5 – Feeding Hours is Huge in Helping Your Dog Sleep Well
Here is where things get tricky. When you eat before going to bed, you might feel sluggish. Running around all night is the last thing you want to do. That's not the case with your dog. Here is the deal. When a dog has its food, it gets а sudden bout оf energy which саn lead tо hyperactivity іn dogs. In short, sleep is the last thing your dog wants to do. Understanding this, уоu should feed your dog аt lеаѕt 3 hours bеfоrе hіѕ or her bedtime ѕо that the food іѕ wеll digested. Actually, that might be a good idea for all of us—just saying. Anyway, another reason fоr why уоu should nоt feed іt right bеfоrе bed іѕ that hе or she wіll want tо do hіѕ or her business іn odd hours оf the night—like when you are ready to sleep.
# 6 – Potty Training а Dog Can Help Them Sleep Better
This is a big deal. Yоu need to work out a schedule for yourself. Put the alarm fоr еvеrу 2-3 hours аt night and take the dog for his or her business. Don't wait fоr your dog tо start yelping and barking fоr уоu tо take hіm or her out. Thіѕ wіll only help tо strengthen the association оf how when іt barks, уоu come tо the rescue. Which саn bе а problem fоr уоu lаtеr. Once the dog has become older, take іt out ѕоmе time bеfоrе bed ѕо that іt іѕ comfortable when іt goes tо sleep.
Final Thoughts
Now that уоu have ѕоmе tips and tricks оn getting your dog tо sleep fоr the whole night, уоu wіll bе better prepared tо handle the situation аt hand. Dоn't worry tоо muсh about іt. Just bе patient and encouraging and you won't have a problem helping your dog get a good sleep аll night through…Night after night.

By Sagar Solanki, Engineer In Training
Multi-Housing Depot, or MHD, started their summer internship program relatively recently, through which the students are able to get decent hands-on experience and relate them to the theoretical ideas they have been taught throughout their engineering courses. Production Manager, Kirk Fistick, employed the interns and utilized the skills they already have to offer while teaching them essential values of the advanced manufacturing in modern day quality cabinetry production, developing a new expertise for the future engineers.
With their help, the company is able to work on numerous other areas that would help it prosper without losing focus on the day-to-day production process. With this summer intern program, the company is also able to get a new perspective on various details, like production layout and the overall process, and make the necessary changes that will help in improving production efficiency. With a new set of eyes comes new ideas that can lead the company to a technically advanced future and help sustain the company's place in the industry. Through the internship program, the company is also able to seek out the talented employees to hire, who would be familiar with company policies and the manufacturing processes already.
Let's take John Leverett for example, a recent graduate from NJIT's Mechanical Engineering program at Newark College Engineering who started working for MHD as a Mechanical Engineering Intern in summer of 2017. With his skills of drafting and 3D modeling, John showed a lot of potential to hold the title of MHD's engineer and became candidate for the part-time permanent employee program which allows him to both, finish his undergrad studies and work for MHD simultaneously.
Leverett started out with programing for the software as an intern to ensure precision cutting of the wood panels for the saw machines. Later, he worked with other employees and operated various machines to better understand the production process, and also helped the product engineer, Sean Lee, in designing new and special products and carried on his projects working part time while finishing off his studies at college. With his promising talent and dedication for the company, John joined MHD in September 2018 of this year and continues to optimize, program, and design products and works closely with the special projects lead and the lead engineer and also overseeing the saw machines' operation.
The summer of 2018, MHD's team was accompanied by a few more students from NJIT with various engineering discipline backgrounds including mechanical; industrial; and computer engineering as part of the company's internship program. These interns were able to enter the site with an open mind and excited to learn something new and help improve things in several areas. Starting with a crash course of the production process, the interns scattered on to other departments of the company for various tasks like designing and statistical analysis and also received hands on training and operated the machines being used for manufacturing quality cabinets. Vaibhav Darji, a Computer Engineering student at NJIT says "it was a pleasure to be a part of such an amazing company. Multi-Housing Depot gave me an opportunity to explore more and be more fearless. I learned a lot from awesome people. MHD is a beast in the intern company culture. Effective collaboration with other interns and employees of MHD generated the innovative ideas."
"MHD taught me so much from office etiquette to working with deadlines and getting hand on training with machines. The knowledge I acquired at MHD definitely has prepared me for future endeavors," says Shadae Farquharson, another intern from NJIT majoring in the Mechanical Engineering program.
Under the Production Manager's supervision, they created numerous documents of job task analysis for nearly all positions in the plant. They also created maintenance procedure cards for all machines used in the facility to ensure the efficiency of the advanced machinery and the cleanliness around workstations. They also helped improving the company handbook that allows the employees to easily familiarize themselves with all departments of the plant as well as the procedures followed throughout the facility.
Designing products and product parts of numerous variety was another field where these students utilized their knowledge to help the company. With assistance from current employees, experts in using these CAD softwares, they were able to gather and expand the data in our CAD design system. Later, in the program, the interns utilized a learning management system they have been familiar with, through their university, called moodle. Through this system, the interns were able to create lesson plans and trainings on nearly all aspects of the company from each individual machining process on the production floor to the marketing as well as designing departments.
