Customer Reviews
I loved the pillow cover even more in person! I love the reminder that He is faithful in ever season & I get to see that every morning when I wake up! Thank you to this awesome company for equipping myself & others with encouragement & truth! I'm so glad I found this website and podcast! :)
I look forward to giving this as a gift.
On my word!! I bought this for a friend for her 50th birthday....I am going to have to buy one for myself! This is truly an amazing purchase! I love the size and quality of the pillow. And the script writing on the pillow is beautiful! Thank you for wonderful meaningful home decor!
Our family has suffered tremendous loss this season-I've lost both my grandmothers and my mother-in-law within a month's time. So basically my mom, my dad, and my husband all lost their moms around the same time. This pillow is the perfect reminder of God's faithfulness through every season. It spoke to me as if it were written in the sky. Wanted this reminder in my home and grabbed one for my mother for mother's day, as well. God is faithful and good, even in the hard times. Also, thank you for the link to purchase the pillow insert! That was a huge help and time saver!

The Best Tea for Sleep
Tea before bed can help you sleep better. Science concurs with thousands of years of folk medicine on this advice, but only for the right type of tea — which is why we have to start this article off with a nomenclature lesson (sorry).
There are two types of tea.
There's "true" tea — that's black tea, green tea, and exotic varieties like Oolong and Darjeeling. All are made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis aka the tea plant. We'll circle back to the sleep benefits of "true" teas later.
"Herbal" tea is most often recommended before sleep. "Herbal" covers all other plant matter people soak in hot water. It's a catch-all term that covers not just herbs, but leaves, roots, peels, flower buds, and so on.
Herbal teas work to improve sleep in different ways. With some plant matter, it's the aroma activated by hot water that is likely causing the body to relax. With others, substances transmitted from the plant to the water are sending us on that non-stop flight to dreamland.
Herbal Teas Recommended for Sleep
Medical researchers have studied lavender extensively in essential oil form. The aroma of the flower disseminated via patch improves sleep quality. Fewer studies exist on lavender tea, but the smart money says that the smell of the tea has the same effect — a one-way ticket on the Quality Sleep Express.
The passionflower isn't one plant or flower but a whole family. Our ancestors used them for their sedative effects. A recent study on modern people showed significant improvement in sleep after just one week of drinking passionflower tea. Passionflower contains GABA, an amino acid that calms the mine.
The chamomile flower in chamomile tea is packed with a substance called apigenin. Studies suggest that apigenin may activate GABA receptors. When GABA receptors are activated, neurotransmission slows down. If the science is right, drinking chamomile tea essentially turns down the volume of your brain and helps you sleep.
Peppermint and its active ingredient, menthol, are usually used to invigorate rather than relax. A preliminary study of mice showed that peppermint oil reduced sleepiness in daytime. So drinking peppermint to hold off that daytime nap could help you sleep better at night.
Prescribed for insomnia since Roman times, studies have shown that valerian root extract enhances GABA activity to calm the mind. Valerian has one strong advantage over other sleep aids with no hangover effect the next morning.
A study where mice were treated with banana pulp showed potential antianxiety effects from bananas. So if you eat bananas for breakfast, save that peel for a quick boil at night.
Herbal Teas Not Recommended Quite As Much For Sleep
The same study that found that valerian acts as a sleep aid found the smell of lemon actually shortened sleep, but some folks swear by a lemon herbal tea before bed. You'll have to make up your own mind.
Linden Leaf
Linden leaves come from a tree also known as lime or basswood. The leaves are used in preparations for general healing, but some people think it helps to calm them before sleep. Science, as of yet, has no comment.
Before it was the greenery on our burgers, lettuce was a well-known psychoactive. There is a species of lettuce called "opium lettuce" that was used as a painkiller and sedative. The lettuce you buy in the store is a distant cousin, and likely contains the same trace amount chemicals of its powerful relative. Some people boil lettuce, drink the liquid before bed, and find that they sleep better.
Herbal Tea Blends Recommended For Sleep
With all these herbs containing many benefits, there's no reason to stick to just one. Herbal tea makers combine various herbs and tout their effectiveness and flavor.
Organic India True Wellness Tulsi Sleep Tea
Anti-stress healing herbs from India blended with traditional Western herbs like chamomile, cardamom, and peppermint in this highly-rated organic tea.
Celestial Seasonings Herbal Tea, Sleepytime
Beloved for generations, this popular blend contains chamomile, spearmint, and fresh lemongrass.
Yogi Soothing Caramel Bedtime Caffeine Free
Productivity guru Tim Ferriss revealed that drinking this blend including chamomile, nutmeg, and ginger is part of his nightly sleep routine.
New Moon Knock Me Out Herbal Tea with Valerian Root
New Moon Tea Company of British Columbia produces small batches of this caffeine-free blend of valerian, lemon, spearmint. lavender, and orange peel.
Birth Song Botanicals Tranquility Tea
Birth Song Botanicals of Fayetteville, Arkansas, offers this blend of chamomile, lemon balm, oat straw, passionflower, and lavender to help you wind down.
Sleep Effects of the "True" Teas
Camellia sinensis is a very basic looking shrub (see below). You wouldn't think it capable of producing one of history's most popular beverages.
Yet for at least the last 2,300 years, people have cultivated, clipped, dried, and dumped hot water over Camellia leaves. Tea has been consumed as a status symbol, as a medicine, as a stimulant, and just for fun.
Relatively recently in the story of tea, science learned that Camellia leaves contain an amino acid called theanine. According to researchers, this magical substance "has positive effects on relaxing, cognitive performance, emotional status, sleep quality, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and the common cold."
However, the positive impact of theanine on sleep is counteracted by another chemical found in tea — caffeine. The magical substance that peps up our mornings does us no favors when it's bedtime. The solution, scientists found, was simple. Drink decaffeinated tea instead.
Japanese researchers found that drinking decaffeinated green tea reduced stress and improved sleep quality in a double-blind study.
Caffeine is the enemy of sleep, so any tea that's marketed as a coffee alternative is one to avoid.
Yerba Mate, for instance, is very high in caffeine. Matcha is a green tea made from crushed leaf powder. This process increases the caffeine level of the tea, so keep Matcha for the morning, too.
Some herbs used in herbal tea, specifically lemon and peppermint, are sometimes used as stimulants. If you've never tried tea as a sleep aid before, don't make those herbs your first choice.
Making Tea Part of Your Sleep Routine
TV commercials used to tell us that cereal was "part of a complete breakfast." The idea was you weren't supposed to eat only cereal every morning, even if that's what most of us did.
Likewise, your sleep routine shouldn't be a tea-only one.
Combine the nightly ritual of tea drinking with other sleep positive activities like listening to calming music, and avoiding the blue light of screens. Tea alone probably won't solve your sleep problems, but it can be part of the complete solution. And a mattress backed by science can be too.

Lyn Steps Up to Her Haters and Closes Her Instagram Account
David Song, Sept. 28, 2015, 11:19 a.m.
Lyn has just shut down her Instagram account, and the reasons why will shock you! Before she closed off her account to the public, she posted a comment on her post by saying, "I can never be thick-skinned against hate comments and its like being continuously stabbed by a sharp gimlet. Honestly, it's very upsetting and disappointing. But I don't want to live not sending greetings during a holiday because of those who leave hate comments. Also, I see some comments about my baby that I don't even have yet. I can still tolerate other things, but if you carry things too far I won't continue to stand idly. If heavens allow, I want to give birth to a child. Is that such a bad thing. I apologize to those who support me for writing such a post on a holiday."
The hateful comments were directed towards her and her husband Lee Soo. Six years ago while Lee Soo was serving in the military, he was paying to have sex with a sixteen year old girl that he had met online. He admitted to the charges and since it was his first offense with such a case, his case ended with a suspension of prosecution. Her comments fueled more hate, and she ended up closing her Instagram account by setting it to private.

Elgin Symphony Orchestra Board agrees to aggressive fundraising to complete season
The Board of the Elgin Symphony Orchestra
(ESO) met on Thursday, March 29 and agreed by consensus to aggressively raise
the funds needed for the Orchestra to finish the 2017-18 Season on May 5 &
6. The 67-year-old cultural gem of the western suburbs, recognized throughout
the nation as a premier regional symphony orchestra, is in
imminent danger of having to suspend operations indefinitely due to lack of funding. ESO Board
and staff continue to work on short-term and long-term solutions to the
financial limitations, including ongoing discussions with the Orchestra's union representatives. "We remain dedicated to the ESO and are
taking all reasonable steps to save the Orchestra. Your assistance, ideas, cooperation
and most importantly, donations, are welcome," affirmed Richard Resseguie, ESO
Board Chair.
For generations, the Elgin Symphony Orchestra has been a committed community partner leaving an indelible mark on the western suburbs. Donations can be made on the website at ElginSymphony.Org, by calling 847.888.0404, by visiting our office at 20 DuPage Court, or by mailing a check to that address. Monthly giving programs are available. IRA distributions, corporate matching, gifts of appreciated stocks and securities can be arranged by calling Niesa Patton, Director of Development, at 847.888.0404. Contributions to the Elgin Symphony Orchestra, a 501(c)(3) organization, are tax deductible to the fullest extend of the law.
The loss of the Elgin Symphony Orchestra would leave a gaping void in the western suburbs. Given the unwavering support of Music Director Andrew Grams, ESO musicians, staff, trustees, and especially the loyal ESO patrons, the Board will continue to search for a financial solution that benefits all those the ESO serves.

IAR team comes to aid of victims of tsunami crisis
As soon as news of the tsunami disaster came in, IAR founder John Hicks who is based in India, mobilised a veterinary team from Animal Tracks, IAR's clinic in Goa. Indian vet Kevin and Dutch vet Miek, who specialises in treating cattle, set off to the south east state of Tamil Nadu in the new IAR ambulance which was packed with supplies and drugs. In addition, with funding from IAR, a second rescue team from Indian groups Wildlife SOS and Friendicoes SECA and led by Kartick from the Agra bear sanctuary, also headed off to the disaster area.
Humanitarian aid had not even reached some of the villages that our teams visited. Consequently essential emergency relief for local people was a first priority and our vets have been treating broken bones and bringing aid to the sick and the injured, particularly children and the elderly. They have also been distributing fodder and water for livestock as well as domestic pets, as well as burning and burying carcases and advising local people on measures to prevent the spread of disease.
IAR's UK office immediately sent £5000 to support the initial stages of this work.
There is no doubt that the aid we are giving is desperately needed and greatly appreciated by the tragic victims of this terrible disaster. Local people rely heavily on their goats and cattle for their livelihood, and many of them also have pets which are of particular comfort at a time of such unimaginable loss.
If you would like to support our work to come to the aid of the victims of the tsunami, please consider making a donation.

ReviewSolicitors is excited to announce a brand new feature that will fill a real need in the legal market.
Our 'Value for Money' pricing charts will give clients relative information on price with the ability to determine the value they are likely to receive from each firm.
Charts will be available for every law firm in the UK, and will be displayed on each law firm's ReviewSolicitors profile page.
Since its inception, ReviewSolicitors has strived to help clients understand that the level of service provided by law firms varies significantly – and so does price. Many clients often view law firms as 'all the same', and fail to understand why one firm would have higher hourly rates than another.
Simply publishing pricing information is not a valid solution as it provides no context as to what a client will actually receive for their money. This also encourages firms to compete on price alone, whilst potentially lowering the level of service, in order to compensate for lost revenue. This has happened in the conveyancing market and has led to a degradation in quality of service in some instances. As a result, we have decided to introduce our new 'Value for Money' chart system. It will allow clients to see the value for money they can expect when instructing a law firm.
Trustworthiness is what clients really want
Aside from those clients who do not want to have to pay for legal services in the first place, most understand that their legal case comes with its own specific requirements, and thus determining an exact price prior to speaking with a firm is inherently difficult.
What clients are really looking for when searching for a firm to use, is reassurance that they will receive a 'fair price'. That is, a price that is competitive and 'good value for money' for the service provided.
Without having some sense of this value, the majority will make their hiring decision based on price alone and instruct the cheapest solicitor. Our intention is to help clients understand that paying more for legal services often leads to a significantly better outcome, due to the selection of a professional firm with plentiful resources and talented, motivated staff willing and able to dedicate the requisite time and attention to each case.
How the new 'Value for Money' chart works
Our newly revised client questionnaire now contains optional questions regarding price. Over the coming months, we will be compiling the relevant data obtained from these and launch the pricing charts soon thereafter.
The charts will be based on clients' opinions of firms' services and whether they thought it represented 'good value for money'.
You have the opportunity to influence where you appear on the scale by signing up for a ReviewSolicitors account (which you can do free of charge) and providing pricing information for the different areas of law in which you specialise. This will allow your firm to stand out from its competitors. Your pricing information will not be displayed on your public profile (unless you want it to be), but will be used by our system to help calculate your 'Value for Money Score'. We will cross-reference this with the satisfaction levels from past reviews.
As more reviews are collected, the chart will be adjusted to reflect the new client feedback. You can influence the chart by asking clients to leave a review on ReviewSolicitors.
The charts will be specific to the service the client is looking for, and will show how your firm compares with other firms, both locally and nationally.
It's not just price
Remember that cost in isolation is not the overriding factor here; rather, it is the value clients place on your service, which will allow your firm to stand out. Our research shows that clients are unlikely to speak with more than three firms when making a hiring decision, so this is an important step to ensure that your law firm is on the shortlist.
To get started, head over to ReviewSolicitors and take control of your listing now:

First, just let me say, bread is a BITCH to make. The mother of all bitches, this was not easy. Although I also had Kevin popping in and out of the kitchen wanting to help with the 'fun' parts (1, he is a child. 2, he never wants to help with anything like, oh say, the dishes) … because browning butter and mixing ingredients is funnn. Hey, so are knives, go play with those. Seriously, he is a 5 year old.
This was way more time consuming than I thought it was going to be; and I am one impatient lady. Let sit for 5 minutes, cover and let sit for 35 mins, let cool for 20 mins, blah blah, blah. ALso, I had to actually borrow flour from my neighbor. "Hi! I've lived here for 8 months and never acknowledged you or your live in girlfriend who enjoys screaming at you most weeknights around 4am…can I borrow a 1/4 cup of flour?" Not awk at all.
Borrowing that 1/4 of flour is worth it though. The end result is truly GLORIOUS. This bread hits all the comfort spots in my soul (and tummy). It's filled with cinnamon and sugar. You pull it apart in sheets. Make this. Make it and eat it all. Make it and eat it all all all all all… then you will know the true definition of a fatty. Hi hello
Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart BreadMakes: one 9x5x3-inch loaf For the Dough: 3 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup granulated sugar 2 1/4 tsp (1 envelope) active dry yeast 1/2 tsp salt 2 oz. unsalted butter 1/3 cup whole milk 1/4 cup water 2 large eggs, at room temperature 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (from Trader Joe's is the bomb!) For the Filling: 1 cup granulated sugar 2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp fresh ground nutmeg 2 oz. unsalted butter, melted until browned
Also, you need lots of bowls for this recipe; I dirtied soooooo many dishes. Did I get any help cleaning them? Annoying.
One thing I do love about this is that it didn't require me to use a mixer or bread hook or any of that nonsense. AND ALSO, I used an empty cucumber vodka bottle as my rolling pin. What the hell happened to mine?? no clue.
So, yeast and I, we seriously hate each other. We don't have a good history. Actually there is really no history there, this is the first time I've sacked up and tried to make bread from scratch. This is a newly developed hate. I predict our relationship will continue to be rocky. I had to use three envelopes to get a successful batch made. As a fail-safe, BUY EXTRA PACKETS. To activate yeast, whisk into 3 tablespoons of warm water (faucet on hot, basically). Add 1 tbsp sugar and allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is foamy and frothy. Set aside.
In a larger mixing bowl whisk together 2 cups flour (NOT ALL YOUR FLOUR), sugar, & salt. Add yeast; set aside.
Whisk together eggs and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt together milk and butter until butter has just melted. Remove from the heat and add water and vanilla extract. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix. Add your whisked eggs and stir the mixture until the eggs are incorporated into the batter. I freaked (doesn't take much) because the eggs seemed soupy and it felt like they would never mix with the dough. Silly Bets, keep stirring. Add the remaining 3/4 cup of flour and mix with spatula for another few minutes. The mixture will be sticky and you will think to yourself "no fucking way this is too sticky", but that's just right.
Place the dough is a large, greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a clean (or not, will anybody really know?) kitchen towel. Allow to rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour (this is where I started to get super impatient) While the dough rises, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg for the filling. FYI, I used pumpkin spice instead of nutmeg because, well, I didn't have any nutmeg. Set aside. Then melt 2 ounces of butter until browned. Properly browned butter takes so much babying. I just want it to be brown. Set aside. Grease and flour a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Set that aside too. (again, so many dishes…such a pain in my ass).
Once your dough has risen knead about 2 tablespoons of flour into it. Cover with a clean (again, clean is optional) kitchen towel and let rest for 5 minutes. On a lightly floured work surface, use a rolling pin (aka vodka bottle) to roll the dough out. The dough should be about 12 x 20, but mine ended up more like 10 x 15; ended up just fine. I'm great at just going with the flow. Use a pastry brush (or spatula) to spread melted butter across all of the dough. Sprinkle with all of the sugar and cinnamon mixture. It might seem like a lot of sugar. It is. It's awesome.
Slice the dough vertically, into seven equal-sized strips. Stack the strips on top of one another and slice the stack into six equal slices once again. You'll have six stacks of six squares. Layer the dough squares in the loaf pan like a flip-book. Place a kitchen towel over the loaf pan and allow in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes or until almost doubled in size. THE WAITING IS SO ANNOYING, I just started drinking at this point.
Preheat to 350 degrees. Place loaf in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is very golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
I would suggest having 10 – 15 people over when you make this; it's the only feasible option to keep yourself for entire the entire thing.

Answer: I'd definitely even the score! Bullying is a major no-no, but I don't think I'd approach things as extremely as she did in Pretty Crooked. Super excited for the release!ReplyDelete

Great trailer. I'd try to even the score, too. :)ReplyDelete

Bullying is never a good thing to do and I would definitely try to even the score!ReplyDelete

Hmm yeah get them where it hurts by taking the stuff they love the most!ReplyDelete
I guess i would even the score.ReplyDelete
As a victim of bullying when I was child, I am absolutely against bullying in ANY shape or form and for whatever reason. The example in "Pretty Crooke" is the rich attacking the poor, but many forms of bullying takes place all the time.ReplyDelete
As for the question posed in the video, I wouldn't "stand by"---but, I don't believe I would go to the same extreme as "evening the score." If I'm being honest, I just don't retaliate that way. I would most likely defend whoever is being bullied, speak out against it to the perpetrator(s), and try to educate people. Bullying should be illegal!
Thanks for your generosity in hosting this giveaway. I want to win not only for the book(s), but to be able to appease my curiosity about what's inside that box!

I would even the score. It'd be hard to stand there and watch something like that happen. Even IF it meant me getting caught, if I helped at least one person, it'd be worth getting into trouble.ReplyDelete
I'd find a way to even the score, too. This sounds like a unique twist on a bullying story - one that both my 12-yr-old daughter and I would enjoy. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your contest!ReplyDelete
I don't know if I would go as far as Willa went, and man did she have some *balls* to do the criminal things she does. However, I would do something to even the score. The girls were probably picking on more than just the poor girls. So ditch the mean friends and get meaningful friends.ReplyDelete
Ah! Love this giveaway! I really want to know whats in the mystery package.

Kitchen Plumbing 101
The kitchen is the most widely used space within a home, serving as the ideal location for meals, gatherings and chores. But when a problem arises in the kitchen — whether it be from a clog below the kitchen sink or a malfunctioning dishwasher — major frustration (not to mention a foul odor) are likely to result.
Problems that go unaddressed too long could cause structural damage so it is important to remedy kitchen plumbing problems as soon as they are detected. This guide outlines the most common kitchen plumbing problems as well as actionable steps to help correct them.
Water under the kitchen sink
Clogged kitchen sink drain: Rather than using chemical drain cleaners which can be corrosive and dangerous to touch, try plunging your clogged sink instead. Begin by filling your sink with a few inches of water to ensure your plunger get a good seal, hold a wet towel firmly over the unused drain to prevent it from splashing, then have at it. You can use a plumbing snake, too, if the plunger doesn't work.
If the clog is unable to dislodge using a plunger or snake, then the clog might be in the P-trap or trap arm (this is especially likely if grease or coffee grounds are disposed of down the drain). To remove this clog, you'll have to disassemble the unit after soaking up any standing water in the sink to avoid an additional mess.
Leaky kitchen sink faucet: To pinpoint the location of a faucet leak, begin by drying all supply pipes with a dry cloth or paper towel. Next, affix a dry paper towel to each fitting then briefly turn the water on. Doing this will show you exactly where the leak is occurring so that fittings can be tightened or replaced.
Corroded pipe fittings: If you've tried to loosen pipe fittings under your kitchen sink and have failed, you may have an issue with corroded pipes. Though this may complicate your plumbing procedure, you might be still be able to fix the problem on your own using pipe lubricant (or heat and a plumber's candle) and a few solid wrenches. If you are still unable to dismantle your pipes after this, it may be time to call a professional plumberto assist you.
Malfunctioning garbage disposal
Garbage disposal is jammed or won't turn on: There are many things that can cause a garbage disposal to jam including avocado skin, bones or pieces of glass. If this is the case with your disposal, then you will have to dislodge the jam from the motor using an Allen wrench to manually turn the blades. If your unit does not have an Allen wrench socket, you can use a broom handle or other tool, but never use your hands to avoid injury.
Some garbage disposals also have a reset button that will need to be pressed before the unit will function again (usually located toward the bottom of the unit). If your garbage disposal still won't turn on after the reset button has been pressed, it may be time to replace the unit as the motor is likely burnt out.
Garbage disposal leaks: Sometimes, a garbage disposal will leak, especially if the gaskets are worn or out of alignment. Though these leaks are fairly easy to locate and remedy, leaks from within the garbage disposal would require replacement of the entire unit.
Garbage disposal is excessively noisy: Noisy garbage disposals are often the result of loose mounting screws or other damaged components. Though you can do your best to tighten up the mounting screws, many other components cannot be tightened or replaced. If the noise is caused by worn-out blades or flyweights, it may be time to replace your garbage disposal.
Dishwasher plumbing problems
Dishwasher won't fill or won't stop filling: If your dishwasher is getting power but won't fill, there could be a problem with the water supply system or a malfunctioning float (thus making it drain too quickly).
First, check that the hot water supply is connected (located under your kitchen sink). Unless there has been a recent kitchen remodel, then this is unlikely to be the case. More likely, it is a problem with your machine's float or the part of your dishwasher that regulates water level. Check the float (typically located toward the front of the machine in the base of the unit) by lifting it up and down. You should hear a clicking noise by lifting the float which indicates that the piece is functional. Clean the float and the tube then replace all parts to see if the problem has been resolved. A faulty float could also prevent your dishwasher from ceasing the fill cycle. It could also be a problem with the timer or the water inlet valve. You can use an inexpensive multimeter to check these electrical problems.
Dishwasher won't drain or dishes come out dirty: If there's an abundance of water left in the dishwasher base after the wash cycle has finished, there is likely a clog somewhere in the system. This can cause problems with the cleanliness of the dishes and should therefore be fixed as soon as possible.
Begin by removing the air gap cover from the back of the unit and the strainer from the base, then clean thoroughly. If this doesn't fix the problem, then there may be a clog in the drain line (which can be cleared by moving the dishwasher out of the cabinet and dismantling the drain pipe just behind the unit) or the drain line valve may need replacing.
Whether designing a new kitchen or repairing problems with an existing system, knowing your way around your kitchen's plumbing is vital to its functionality.

OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — After he pleaded no contest to second-degree murder charges in November, Tyron Wells, 14, was sentenced to 22-45 years in prison Wednesday morning for the shooting death of 17-year-old Zachary Parker.
Authorities say Parker and another 17-year-old teen injured in the incident were in a car near 25th and Crown Point to meet the 15-year-old for the purpose of purchasing marijuana. The unidentified juvenile suspect got in the vehicle to sell the drugs, authorities say, when Wells allegedly pulled a gun, made threats and shot Parker.

Holy Cross College agrees to provide residence hall accommodations and meals according to the academic year schedule. Students agree to become members of the residence community, and to adhere to and support the rules and regulations as found in the Holy Cross College Student Handbook. The student also agrees to pay the College the prescribed fees and be subject to the terms and conditions below. By submitting this contract the student understands and accepts the associated costs and financial responsibility. This housing contract is governed by Indiana Law and any questions about the terms of the contract shall be brought to the attention of the College for clarification before a student accepts its terms. This housing contract is for the entire academic year. The student shall be entitled occupancy of the residence hall after noon on the opening day announced prior to each semester. A $750 Contract Cancellation Fee will be assessed to the account of any student who moves out of the residence halls prior to the expiration of the contract. Releases from residence life contracts will be granted only in the event of withdrawal from the college, or serious extenuating circumstances beyond the student's control. Requests to be released from this contract must be submitted in writing along with appropriate documentation to the Director of Residence Life no later than December 1. Students withdrawing from residence halls or who are removed due to student conduct will be subject to the College's refund policy as stated in the student handbook. This is a residence hall and food service contract. The combined agreement is binding when submitted by the student and assigned by a representative of the College. This contract does not guarantee a specific room or type of assignment, but rather a housing accommodation. Every effort will be made to assign the type of accommodation and roommates based on information provided by the student, provided applications have been received in a timely manner. The agreement may not be transferred, sold or re-assigned to another student. Housing is NOT available during Christmas Vacation as determined by the Residence Life Calendar. All residents are responsible for their own housing during this period. Resident students involved in school sponsored trips/activities may be accommodated. Students who request and are granted permission to stay on campus during Fall, Thanksgiving, Spring, and Easter Breaks will be granted a meal plan for their use over that break that will enable them to dine at a dining hall operated by the College's food service contractor Notre Dame Campus Dining. Closing hours will be posted prior to each break period. Residents with specific needs, may request as much as a 24 hour extension to remain in the residence hall past the posted closing at the end of each semester. The College reserves the right to deny such requests, and if granted, to charge the student $30 per day of approved extension. The College reserves the right: (a) to change or cancel the room assignment of a student for reasons of health, conduct detrimental to the living group, failure to attend class on a regular basis, or violations of regulations; (b) to enter any room for the purpose of inspection, authorized search, inventory, or repair; (c) to levy and collect charges (individually or collectively) for damages to or unauthorized use of or alterations of rooms, equipment, and hall properties; (d) to approve all guests in the residence hall. College housing is available to full-time students. Continued housing for students falling below full-time status (12 hours) will be at the discretion of the Director of Residence Life. Students who withdraw from the College or from all of their classes must leave campus housing immediately. Students in the residence halls will be billed a $350 Damage Deposit and students at University Edge will be billed a $500 Damage Deposit to cover room and common area damages. Damages occurring during the year will be assessed to the student account. Any amount of this deposit not used to repair or replace damaged property will be returned within 90 days of non-returning students check-out of the residence halls, provided the student has not been dismissed from the residence halls due to conduct or grades, or has not voluntarily withdrawn from the residence halls prior to May. The College shall have no responsibility for: theft, destruction or loss of money, valuables or personal properties belonging to or being in custody of the resident from any cause whatsoever, whether such losses occur from the resident's room, the storage room, or public areas. EACH RESIDENT IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO CARRY HIS/HER OWN PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE. Holy Cross College reserves the right to notify parents. The college may notify parents of residents who are found to be responsible for violating college policy regarding alcohol, drugs, acts of violence, and residents who have attempted or threatened to cause bodily harm to themselves or others. The contract is valid when it is accompanied by a $200 Housing Deposit and $200 Enrollment Deposit. Both deposits will be held by the college and applied towards the student's housing/tuition bill. If the student cancels his or her housing contract on or before May 1, 2020 (or December 1, 2020 if moving in at the Spring Semester) the deposit will be refunded. If the cancellation occurs after May 1, 2020 (or December 1, 2020), the deposit is forfeited. All rooms are equipped with a bed, desk, desk chair, and wardrobe or closet. The College also provides internet service, basic cable, and laundry facilities for residents. There are a variety of housing accommodations available on campus.

In July, College staff will begin to hand-match new incoming students with their roommates / room requests, based on the selections made on the Residence Life Contract. Every effort will be made to assign rooms, the type of accommodation and roommates based on information provided by the student, provided applications have been received in a timely manner. However, the College does not guarantee that all requests will be accommodated. Holy Cross offers housing for upper-classmen in a select building of University Edge, an off-campus apartment complex located 1 mile north of Holy Cross College. These 4 bedroom/4 bathroom apartments are considered living on campus for financial aid packages and are available at the same room & board rate. University Edge residents receive a different meal plan than traditional residential students. In order to live in at University Edge, residents must complete a separate documentation process to qualify for and be accepted into the University Edge Residential Community, which includes a successful completion of a background check. Additionally, University Edge residents agree to comply with all non-financial obligations found in the Master-Lease between Holy Cross College and University Edge. University Edge Residents still have the same obligations of any other on campus resident of Holy Cross College. By agreeing to the terms and conditions of the residential contract, each University Edge resident confirms their responsibility to comply with all these obligations outlined within this contract and the Holy Cross College Student Handbook.

|The term 'profit' is originated by the Latin work and its meaning is 'to make progresses'. The word 'profit' has different meaning to different people like businessmen, accountants, tax collectors, workers and economists. The term is often used in a loose polemical (emotional) sense that hides its real significance. In a general sense, profit is regarded as income accruing to the
Business Versus Economic Profit
It is necessary to know the nature of profits because profit influences business activities. How do profits arise, what determines the volume of profits or stream expected future profits are important issues that need explanation. Profits or expected profit stream from a productive activity or an investment project play a crucial role in decision making by managers. But, as mentioned earlier, the term profits, as used in economics, differs from that generally used by business community. Therefore, it is necessary to explain first the difference between business profits and economic profits.
A business profit is an accounting concept of profit and represents the residual sales revenue to the owners of the firm after making payments to all other factors or resources the firm uses. These payments to hired factors include the wages to hired labour, interest on borrowed capital, rent on land and factory buildings and expenditure on raw materials used by the firm. The expenditures on these factors or resources hired on purchased by the firms are call explicit costs. Business profit refers to the sales revenue of the firm minus its explicit costs. In accounting sense, profit is defined as the residual of sales revenue minus the explicit accounting costs (or out-of-pocket expenditures of doing business). It is the amount available to provide rewards to the shareholders who have supplied the firm's equity capital after payment for all other resources the firm uses. The explicit costs are the costs like wages, rent fuel, raw materials, interest on loans and depreciation. Thus,
Business Profits = Total sales revenue – Explicit costs
It is the concept of business profits that is generally used by the business community and accountants.
Economists also define profit as the excess of revenue over the cost of doing business. However, economists include the implicit costs of the inputs provided by the owners including entrepreneurial effort and capital in calculating profit. Economic profit is the difference between total revenues and total economic cost (including the economic or opportunity cost of owner-supplied resources such as capital and time). Economic cost or opportunity cost is the highest valued alternative opportunity that must be sacrificed or foregone as a result of choosing an alternative. The owner-entrepreneur uses his own capital for which he/she should be paid. The normal rate of return on capital is to be given to the owner as the minimum return necessary to attract and continue investment. Similarly, the opportunity cost of owner effort is determined by the value that could be received in an alternative activity. Hence, economic profit is business profit minus the implicit costs of capital and any other owner-provided inputs used by the firm.
In their calculation of economic profit, economists deduce not only explicit costs but also implicit costs from the sales revenue of the firm. The implicit costs refer to the opportunity costs of the resources provided by the firm's owners themselves including capital and entrepreneurial ability. These self-owned factors must be paid if they are to be employed by the firm in its own production process otherwise they will be employed elsewhere on hired basis. Thus, economists take into account the normal rate of return on capital used by the owner of the firm in its own business and the transfer earnings of the owner-entrepreneur as costs of doing business.
The economic profit represents the sales revenue of the firm in excess of both explicit and implicit costs. Therefore,
Economic Profits = Sales revenue – Explicit costs – implicit costs
While explaining maximization of short-run profits or present value of the steam of expected future profits, economists assume that it is economic profits that owner-entrepreneur or managers of corporations seek to maximize. The concept of economic profits brings into sharp center the questions: why the profit which is over and above the normal rate of return on equity capital and reward for entrepreneurial ability in case of owner-entrepreneur exists and what is its role in a free enterprise system. In long-run equilibrium economic profits will be zero if all firms work in perfectly competitive market. Then, how do economic profits, positive or negative, come into existence. The various theories of profit provide explanation for the existence of economic profits.

My Love, as we look out our window and watch the snowfall,
perhaps we should join hands, and lift up a prayer
for the peace of this season, the heart of peace,
the well-wishing, and joy of the season,
to last a little bit longer this year.
Let's bow our heads… and pray.

I try to leave my politics out of my automotive blog, but this news story takes the cake. Apparently a recent Lexus ad, displaying it's new RX 400h SUV hybrid, upset some environmentalists and got it banned. According to those opposed to the advertisement it created an appearance that the Lexus SUV did not have an impact on the environment, or at least it was cleaner than it really was.
The Advertising Standards Authority was responsible for removing the ad amongst a number of complaints. The primary complaint was that the SUV caused 'little to no harm' to the environment, rather than just being a good choice in todays economy and environment. Hell, after all this SUV hybrid goes above and beyond current standards, so I'm not sure why such a rash action on behalf of the ASA would be taken.
People who complain about stuff like this need to get out and get a job. Seriously.

Realme 2 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi A2 vs. Nokia 6.1 Plus, Comparison,full reviews
The new RealM 2 Pro challenges the Xiaomi Mi A2 and the Nokia 6.1 Plus phone with its strong specifications and competitive prices.
India's first smartphone market is particularly competitive in the mid-range, and buyers looking for smartphones for less than Rs 20,000 are finding many options to choose from.
While some brands are usually associated with the price advantage, the past few months have seen some surprises as new brands emerge as price champions.
One of these offers is the Realme 2 Pro, which is the most affordable device in India for 8GB sport of RAM.
We compared the new RealMate 2 Pro to the Xiaomi Mi A2 and Nokia 6.1 Plus.
The three phones are priced at less than Rs.20,000 and are equipped with similar features and programs, with the exception of Internet-focused offerings.
Take a look at our comparison.
the design
While all three devices have large display ratios and large screens, the actual screen design varies significantly on the three phones.

The Nokia 6.1 Plus has a 5.8 "19: 9 IPS LCD display with a standard feature, while Realme 2 Pro has the largest screen here - a 6.3" IPS LCD screen with 19: 9 aspect ratio and a slide of water .
When it comes to building, there are also big differences.
Again XIAOMI Mi A2 goes with a more traditional approach, with a metal structure construction.
The Nokia 6.1 Plus uses a mix of glass on the back swinging from the metal frame, while Realme 2 Pro contains a full plastic structure at the back to resemble the glass.
Specifications and price
The Realme 2 Pro has a great feature here, especially considering the price of the phone.
You can get 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage at Rs 13,990 and 6 GB of RAM and 64GB of RAM at Rs.
15,990 or 8 GB of RAM and 128GB of storage at a price of 17, Rs 990, making it the most affordable device today with 8 GB of RAM.
The phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC, and has a 3,500 mA battery inside.
Unfortunately, there is no possibility of fast charging on the device.
In comparison, the Xiaomi Mi A2 is also powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC, but with 4 GB of RAM and 64GB of storage on the only type available in India at a price of 16,999 rupees.
With the Amazon Great Indian current sale, the XIAomi Mi A2 is sold at Rs. 14999, a good price given the overall package you get.
The phone has a 3000mAh battery and supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0 standards in India.
The Nokia 6.1 Plus works with Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC, 4 GB of RAM and 64GB of storage in one form at Rs. 15999 and comes with a 3,060 mA battery.
All three smartphones contain fingerprint sensors for biometric authentication.
While all three smartphones work here on Android 8.1 Oreo, Realme 2 Pro carries a ColorOS weight.
The user interface is a single layer and comes with quite a bit of bloatware as well.
Xiaomi Mi A2, Nokia 6.1 Plus are both Android One devices and are running Android.
This also gives them the potential advantage of quickly implementing new programs, although neither phone has been updated to Android 9.0 yet.
All three phones here have dual rear camera setups and high-definition front cameras.
The Realme 2 Pro comes with a 16 megapixel camera + 2 megapixels in the rear, and a 16 megapixel front camera.
Both cameras enjoy bokeh effects for vertical shots, while the front camera achieves impact through the programs.
The front camera also allows you to unlock the face.
The Xiaomi Mi A2 is a 12 megapixel camera + 20 megapixel camera, which allows you to shoot images of up to 2x depth, plus a 20 megapixel front camera.
The Nokia 6.1 Plus includes a 16 megapixel camera + 5 megapixel camera at the back and a 16 megapixel front camera.

Continuing His teaching to His disciples, Jesus gives them here a stern warning but also an encouragement. We see:
We are challenged in the light of this to examine our hearts to see whether we are deniers or confessors of Christ. If the habitual pattern of our lives is denial and rebellion, we cannot expect that Christ will confess us before God on the Last Day and we need to repent now and come to Him for salvation. If, on the other hand, we do confess Christ, albeit haltingly and failingly, we are urged not to allow our fear of men to overcome our fear of God but rather to be yet more bold and courageous in our public confession of Him. The encouragement is that Christ will surely confess us freely before God on the Last Day.

The Spring Schedule tees it up at Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast, FL on Friday and Saturday. Buckeyes making the trip are: Will Grimmer, Daniel Wetterich, Will Voetsch, Caleb Ramirez, Laken Hinton, Jack Mancinotti, Justin Wick and Kevin Stone. The format is match play with each team fielding six players.
Ohio State won its first round match against Rutgers, 3 1/2 – 2 1/2 to advance to round two against Wisconsin. The Buckeyes and Badgers split their match 3 – 3, but Ohio State won the tie-breaker (more on that below) to advance to the semifinal match against #1 seed Illinois.
Round 1 vs Rutgers
Will Grimmer
Will ended his match AS (all square) with his opponent, Tony Jiang. The match was closely played, with neither competitor having more than a 1-up lead. Will held a 1-up lead with one to play, but Jiang parred the final hole to end the match AS.
Daniel Wetterich
Daniel lost his match 2-dn. Daniel trailed nearly the entire match, despite a stretch of three birdies on the back nine. Daniel tied the match on the 16th hole of play, but his opponent, Chris Gotterup parred the final two holes to Daniel's bogeys to win the match 2-up.
Will Voetsch
Will won his match 2&1. Will went 1-dn to his opponent, Oliver Whatley early in the match and was 1-dn through four holes. Will brought the match to AS on the fifth hole of play and stretched his lead to 3-up before settling in with four consecutive pars to close out Whatley 2-up.
Caleb Ramirez
Caleb won his match 1-up. Caleb took an early lead over his opponent, Shayler Dance, and was 2-up through five holes. Dance went on a run to hold a 2-up lead with four holes to play. Caleb closed strong with a birdie on the 17th hole of play to bring the match to AS, then parred the final hole for the win. Whew!
Kevin Stone
Kevin won his match 3&1. Kevin had his match over his opponent, Bobby Weise, in hand pretty much from the beginning. He took a 1-up lead on the first hole f play, five holes later expanded it to 2-up, then closed it out with an eagle-3 to birdie-4 on the par-5 9th hole, the 17th hole of play. That's some finish.
Justin Wick
Justin lost his match 1-dn. Justin and his opponent, Putt Sridama, were AS through five holes. A birdie on the 6th hole gave Justin a 1-up lead which he held for three more holes. Putt won the next three holes to go 2-up over Justin, but Justin won the next hole to pull within 1-dn. Both both players matched pars in the final five holes to end the match.
Now, onward to Wisconsin!
Round 2 vs Wisconsin
Unfortunately, the BirdieFire score keeping didn't provide hole-by-hole match detail for this round, so we'll have to do with individual match results.
Ohio State and Wisconsin tied their individual matches 3 – 3, with Ohio State advancing to semi-finals via tiebreaker.
Will Grimmer
Will lost his match against his opponent, Jordan Hahn, 3&1.
Daniel Wetterich
Daniel lost his match 5&4 to his opponent, Griffin Barela.
Will Voetsch
Will won his match 5&3 versus his opponent Pete Kuhl.
Caleb Ramirez
Caleb won his match, rather convincingly, 7&6 over his opponent Sam Anderson. This was actually the "swing" match versus Wisconsin.
Kevin Stone
Kevin won his match 2&1 over his opponent Tom Calbi.
Jack Mancinotti
Jack lost his match 2-dn against his opponent Cameron Frazier.
The tie-breaker is based on an aggregate. "margin of victory". Basically, Caleb's rout of his opponent, 7&6 easily provided the tie-breaker margin for Ohio State to advance. Thank you, Caleb.
For Friday activity, rounds 1 and 2 versus Rutgers and Wisconsin:
- Will Grimmer was 0-1-1
- Daniel Wetterich was 0-2-0
- Will Voetsch was 2-0-0
- Caleb Ramirez was 2-0-0
- Kevin Stone was 2-0-0
- Justin Wick was 0-1-0
- Jack Mancinotti was 0-1-0
I guess the good showing by Will G and Daniel at the Jones Cup didn't translate on Friday. The top of the order performed about as well as the bottom of the order. Fortunately, the middle seeds were undefeated to carry this team. This could wind up to be a very deep team for Ohio State as the schedule progresses.
So, next up is #1 ranked Illinois in Saturday's semi-final round.

From the recording Hard Sweet and Sticky
by Chris LeRoy
When I was a lonely child
I'd sit beneath a tree
I'd watch the clouds
Float away from me
Dreams I held so close inside
Drifting to the sky
God bless the child
Who ever wondered why
The Fire Next Time
If I was meant to burn for you
And you to burn for me
Are we just smoke through all eternity?
Or is there something deeper still
To keep this love alive?
The Lord gave us
A hard rain tonight
The Fire Next Time
When we met a mourning dove
Returned from the sea
I held you close
You were a part of me
Now you're gone the birds fly out
Across the powerlines
How can I love you
If you're the hurting kind?
When I was a lonely child
I'd sit beneath the sky
I'd watch the clouds
See them pass me by
The Fire Next Time
Come on and give me a sign
It's not the rain this time…

Mid-Week Links: DOT Smash
November 16, 2011 Leave a comment
Freeway removal is getting rather more attention from the planning community, but implementing it in the highly linear and non-porous Marin environment is probably impractical. Still, there are a number of freeway-like roadways through towns – Miracle Mile, Novato Boulevard, Second and Third Streets, Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and others – which would benefit from retrofitting.
Marin County
- Newly appointed County Supervisor Katie Rice outlines her priorities to the IJ. Among them: encouraging alternative forms of transportation.
- After 13 years, Supervisor Steve Kinsey has stepped aside as chairman of the Transportation Authority of Marin.
- The SMART board is making its first bond issue. Opponents say its expensive, as the funds will be placed into escrow, but the money will still be there after the repeal effort is resolved, and, meanwhile, the Board can continue to pay down the loans. Oddly, the CFO is now on paid leave.
- Marin is re-enacting the split lot fee, which is levied in lieu of requiring affordable housing. In other words, the County is charging homeowners from building more homes in the name of keeping housing affordable in defiance of basic economics.
- It's almost official: the Marin County Board of Supervisors approved purchase of the $82 million San Rafael Commons for the County's new security center. The purchase hasn't been finalized, but it's about as done as it can be on the County side of things. I'm not holding out hope that the nearby bus pads will be upgraded to be attractive in the least, so the site will remain fairly transit-inaccessible.
- The California Highway Patrol will soon implement Operation Clear, which will focus on removing accidents quickly from Highway 101 during the morning rush hour.
San Rafael & Novato
- Terrapin Crossroads may have been axed from Fairfax, but there's talk Phil Lesh is interested in opening a venue in San Rafael.
- The San Rafael Planning Commission has chosen to delay a vote on the planned San Rafael Airport sports complex pending review of public comments.
- Canal residents celebrated a new community mural on the side of the Canal Alliance offices.
- Opponents to the Albert Park/Pacifics plan have sued Centerfield Partners for an environmental study.
- Novato wants to build a bike park out at Stafford Lake Park for $850,000. It's a roughly 20 minute ride from Novato along a bike path.
- Following a rash of accidents, Novato police are cracking down on red light safety. Such efforts are good, but will do nothing for pedestrian safety.
- The Black Point rail swing bridge across the Petaluma River has been fully repaired and is back in operation.
South Marin
- A Southern California appeals court has ruled that cities can ban pot dispensaries, but the fight remains. Corte Madera is hedging its bets and extending its temporary moratorium.
- Two drivers suffered major injuries after a surface-street crash in Corte Madera.
- The Dipsea Stairs in Mill Valley have been renovated. When not used in the oldest trail race in the country, the Dipsea Stairs are a vital walking path for those that live on the hillsides above downtown Mill Valley.
- The affordable housing debate reaches Mill Valley.
- The Sausalito City Council approved unifying its fire department with the Southern Marin Fire Protection District by 3-2 margin. Unless at least 1,250 signatures are collected protesting the move, the City will join at a cost of $2.7 million per year.
The Greater Marin
- Encouraging bicycling through better cycle facilities is good for business.
- Looks like California's High Speed Rail isn't a terribly new idea.
- Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jane Jacobs' The Death and Life of Great American Cities.
- There's a push in Napa to develop a light rail system between St. Helena and the City of Napa along the Wine Train's right-of-way, but backers are having trouble raising the $2 million required for study.
- Golden Gate Transit isn't the only bus system that has trouble communicating with riders. Virginia's Fairfax County does a horrid job, confusing even seasoned riders.
- The San Francisco Ferry Building sent a letter of complaint to the city regarding Occupy SF protestors nearby. Anyone have any trouble?
- A California appeals court ruled that drivers cannot use their cell phones while stopped at red lights because, apparently, you're still driving even when you're stopped. Go figure.
- UPDATE: Congress has a compromise bill on transportation, and the figures aren't good.
