Well……I am happy to report that I completed the 2015 Carolina Supernatural Bodybuilding Competition this past weekend, in fact, I won!! Woo Hoo!! I placed second in the Women’s Bodybuilding Masters 50 & Over division, but placed first in the Women’s Bodybuilding Open Heavyweight, then won the Women’s Bodybuilding Open Overall Champion. And, I certainly didn’t expect this, but I received my Pro Card! I am now considered a professional bodybuilder!! Whew! I am very thrilled to have done so well, but I am still in shock!!
As I have stated all along, this was about the journey for me. It just goes to show that with a lot of hard work and discipline, you can reach not only your goals but beyond your goals as well! My goal was to train and prepare to the best of my ability and to give it my best once I got on that stage Saturday night. That’s all I could ask of myself! And, that’s what I did, and it paid off tremendously for me!! And, I can’t tell you how excited and pleased I feel having achieved more than what I set out to achieve!! It’s very rewarding!!
I want to thank all of you for your support and encouragement throughout my training process. I can’t tell you how all of your positive feedback on my blog posts really kept me motivated to stay on track and to strive for my best! I would like to also thank my wonderful husband, Tim, and my boys for all of their unwavering support and for having to put up with me during all of this, especially on low carb days!! I couldn’t have succeeded without their love and support. I love you guys!! I would like to thank my awesome trainer, Anthony Tiller, for his love, support, encouragement, and expertise throughout my journey. He is the master behind the madness and the man with the plan!! Thank You Anthony!! And I can’t thank enough my friend and fellow bodybuilder, Tina Bell, for all of her help—-she choreographed my posing routine, provided tremendous amounts of positive support and encouragement, and was always there whenever I needed her! Thanks Tina! I would like to also thank my sweet friend, Lauren Wood, for always being there for me in and out of the gym and always with her beautiful smile!! Your support didn’t go unnoticed!! Thanks Lauren! And last but not least, I want to thank all of my wonderful friends who are part of the fabulous Underdog Family!! You guys also kept me on track with your support and encouragement and willingness to let me have free riegn of the gym whenever I was in there to workout!! Y’all are the BEST!! I love my Underdog family—-you folks ROCK!!
I have enjoyed these last several days of eating and drinking anything I want—-it’s been fun!! My family and I are headed to Spain for our family vacation for the next 10 days, and I can’t tell you how great I feel physically, mentally, and emotionally, and how excited I am to experience the culture of another country and not have a care in the world about what I eat or drink!! BRING IT ON!!! So, when I return, I plan to get back into a regular workout routine of lifting 3 days a week and watching my macros to some degree. My trainer says he is going to reverse me out when I get back from vacation, and it will make it very easy for me to maintain what I have worked so hard to achieve. Although, I hope to put just a little weight back on. I just don’t want to go overboard with all of the bad eating and gain more than I would like.
Thanks again for following along with me during my journey!!

Rocks ‘n’ Pops
Hosted by Mr Simeon Haslam 07403744801 email@example.com
Rocks ‘n’ Pops have provided tuition and run rock bands at Lord Deramore’s Primary School for several years. In York, we now tutor over 300 children on rock instruments in primary schools each week and run 32 bands from 13 schools.
We teach vocals, keys , drums, guitar & bass each week, usually in 2 group sessions of 30 minutes for non-band members, and in 2 group sessions of 20 minutes for band members. We do teach from Rock School graded materials, but primarily focus on learning the songs children want to sing and play from the radio or TV. Those children who are also in a band, immediately apply what they have learned in lessons at their weekly band practice.
We run a range of concerts inside and outside school and are asked to provide children’s bands for concerts organised by external bodies. When bands reach year 6, they also do a studio recording. These performance opportunities give children goals to work towards and some very special memories and achievements. Bands usually receive 2-3 concerts per term for Autumn and Spring terms and can choose from around 20 concerts in the Summer term including some larger festivals and venues.
Hosted by Mr Peter Richmond 01904 488581
Pupils are taught to read music and play tunes, rather than just strumming guitar. Although based on ‘classical’ guitar, many other styles are looked at, including Jazz, Blues and Folk. Pupils usually take music exams when they reach an appropriate standard.

I started narrating in 2012, recording free spoken versions of various fanfictions I enjoyed as a gift to the authors who had written them. My dream was to become a professional narrator, and that dream was realised four years later in 2016 when my English teacher introduced me to Librivox.org. I began volunteering there, and two weeks later, I received an offer to join The Online Stage. Since then I have been branching out to more websites to expand my work, such as Voices of Today, Spoken Realms, Findaway Voices, and The Audiobook Creation Exchange.
Apart from my ‘natural’ RP British accent, I can imitate a General American accent and Hong Kong accent. I sing in some of my works, too – I’m a classically trained Grade 8 pianist and singer, and I also play the guitar, harmonica, and Chinese flute.

Great service, really helpful staff. Our technician, Joel, made a real effort to ensure all our skiing needs were met, and or boots fit comfortably.
Really lovely personal touch where they checked in on how we were getting on with the equipment during the week.
We especially liked the premium boots offer.
Outstanding rental experience in Tignes! We rented a snowboard and a set of skis for a week and were thoroughly impressed by the service and the quality of the equipment provided.
Instead of the usual low-end gear found at many rental locations, this shop offered genuinely top-notch items.
The Ski Atomic Bent 90s I used were in excellent condition.
Izzi was incredibly knowledgeable and provided fantastic assistance, making our experience even better!
We go skiing twice a year as a group and have never had service anywhere near as good as this!
We arrived later than planned and they were flexible with us, tweaking our planned drop off to collecting us and taking us to the store to get our skis fitted and then dropping us back at our appartment.
We had last minute add-ons that were no problem and one member of our group wasn’t getting on with their boots so the shop came and collected them, took them to store, pulled out every pair of boots until our group member was happy and then bought them back to our apartment.
At the end of the week they came out again and collected the skis from us just as we were waiting for our transfer so super easy!
Next time we are in Tignes we will 100% be using them. Thanks guys!
We were introduced to Tignes Spirit through our son who is working in Tignes this season and they were excellent, beating local competition in all respects.
Communication was much easier in English, they were extremely efficient, friendly and polite.
The equipment was great quality (we had brand new Nidecker snowboard bindings) and pricing couldn’t be beaten.
We’re going back in March and without a doubt will be using them again.
Well done and thank you !!
I highly recommend TS for rental and kit. They go out of their way to set you up with the most appropriate kit.
They stay open late to ensure you can get set up the night before your first day on the snow.
I've never had to wait more than five minutes unlike the large chains which have long queues on busy days.
Although we stayed in le lac this year we wanted down to rent for my son from TS. Worth a short walk/ bus
We were keen to purchase some skis but wanted to try some first.
Staff were super friendly and very helpful and let us try out some skis before we purchased.
Great experience would thoroughly recommend.
This is the 2nd year I've rented from Tignes Spirit. They really know their stuff and ensure you get the perfect fit for your level.
Service is friendly and very professional.
Their aftercare is great and they even phone you the next day to check all is OK with the gear they've rented you.
Although our accommodation was a bus ride away in Val Claret this year, it was worth the short (free bus) journey as their gear is high quality at a very competitive price.
Boots and skis were perfect for me, and last year they even carried out an instant no quibble repair in their onsite workshop when I had a bent brake after a fall!
They also have a very nice shop attached which sells lovely ski wear.
English speakers too which helped us immensely.
I wouldn't rent from anywhere else.
Fantastic service, friendly staff. The equipment was pretty much brand new.
The staff are very knowledgeable. Well stocked shop with all the latest kit!!
Well done tignes spirit!!
I had the best hiring experience with Tignes Spirit Rentals. Ben was phenomenal when I was trying to book some gear online, he was quick to respond and make any amendments I needed.
Quite often with snowboard hiring, you never know what you'd get, but with Tignes, it was exceptionally great gear - both board and bindings. I told them my skill level, type of board I liked and that I was doing back country. As I was going to be in Sainte Foy, not only did they deliver - they made sure it was the right type of board and I got to choose a board I like.
Experience didn't end there, they checked in and made sure everything went well. Couldn't have asked for better gear and experience.
Thanks team and you are my definite go to when I'm up that way again.
Great independent shop - sent them an email with board references that I wanted to try, everything was here and ready.
Went back to the shop to try something new, no issue! I had a brand new ‘Salomon sick stick’ with ‘Salomon Quantum’ bindings, perfect combo to carve and bomb down the slopes!

Dehradun: Childhood is a time when everyone dreams of flying in the air. Everyone has a desire to talk to the wind while flying in the air. Whether it’s the deep blue sea or enjoying water sports in the air, people have to go to places like Goa. Now your wish is about to come true in Uttarakhand. Yes, to promote water sports, the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board is introducing jet skis in Tehri Lake.
The process has been initiated. Initially, four jet skis will be introduced by the board. This will provide tourists with the pleasure of water sports in the lake, similar to Goa. The board will start operating them by the end of September. Trained youth will operate the jet skis. The ticket prices will be determined by the tourism department. This is the first time in the state that jet skis will be introduced, giving wings to tourism. Local people will also be able to enjoy it along with tourists coming from outside. A contract will be signed with a private company for the operation. The company will also provide training to five to ten young people for operating the jet skis.
Jet skis work like watercrafts
If you want to fly in the air, then hydro-powered jet skis are for you. It not only skims on water like skiing but also flies in the air like a jet. It works just like a watercraft, and with its help, you can fly up to a height of 7.6 meters. You can also go up to 10 feet underwater with it. The price of jet skis starts from six lakh rupees. Through the jet thrust adapter, it redirects water from the jet unit of the PWC (Personal Watercraft) and directs it onto the jet ski bike with a 66-foot hose. The pressure of this water is used to propel the jet ski into the air and lift it upwards. This allows the rider to ascend rapidly.

Romance isn’t dead, yet. Don’t let the quarantine stop you from finding love or having an intimate time and romantic date with your partner. Although virtual dating is not as beautiful as meeting physically, it has its perks that you may want to try as we continue to cope with the hardships brought by the pandemic.
The term “virtual dating” can be seen as a plot for a sci-fi film, but there are many ways to make it special, normal, and enjoyable. Here are 10 fun virtual date ideas to try during COVID-19 that can hopefully make up for the lack of hugs and kisses with him or her:
This activity is a fun way to get to know the person you’re dating and prepare you once you eventually meet. Come up with questions that you are curious about your date, and he or she will also do the same. It’ll be great if both of you have an equal amount of items so that the conversation remains balanced.
As a tip, create questions that are reflective of your personality. You may ask common questions, like, “What’s your job?, or “What’s your childhood like?” Or add a little spice to it, such as their thoughts about your favorite films, hobbies, or ideal future partner.
However, since it’s the first date, do have certain constraints on the questions you’re going to use.
This is an excellent way to measure compatibility and initiate intriguing chats with each other. Both of you will make a top-five list of various topics that may range from films, television shows, or people you would want to be with on a deserted island.
If you disagree with a certain rank, you can start asking questions that can poke fun conversations with each other. Don’t be too defensive, though!
This activity can reveal the things deemed valuable in your life or some funny story to share with your date. Both of you would pick things related to the decided theme for a “show and tell” session.
The themes could be showing your pets, artwork, hobbies, favorite clothes, or college sweatshirts. Use your webcam or smartphone to show the chosen items and explain or tell a story about it.
This activity can show your culinary skills or your lack of it. Either way, the most important thing is to try. Both of you would agree on a recipe to do together in your separate kitchens.
If both of you are relatively new to cooking, it’s better to pick an achievable recipe. Afterward, set your table to a dinner-date like with candles and a bottle of wine. You can talk about the cook-off or anything that both of you would like.
Do you know that you can visit world-class museums online while in your pajamas and at your home’s safety?
If both of you want to turn your culture on by witnessing the world’s finest curated collections, you can check out the Louvre’s Gallerie de’ Apollon, the Smithsonian’s Natural History, or the National Women’s History Museum at NASA online.
With the recent online services like Netflix Party or Meta stream, you and your partner can both share a screen while in different locations.
Since watching movies in the cinema is a no-go, you both can have your movie date through online streaming platforms. Choose a theme for the movie date. It can be about films focusing on hope, movies that changed your life, or movies involving your favorite actors.
A good old-fashion game night usually does the trick when both of you want to have fun and bond with each other. More so, you can easily reveal your partner’s secret competitiveness through game nights. Since both of you have to do this virtually, look for apps or video games available online.
The advantage of playing games is that you don’t have to rack your brains out for conversational topics. It generates a shared focus and enjoyment at the same time.
Enjoy your time together by sweating through online workouts. More so, exercising is more important than ever as it keeps both of you healthy amidst the ongoing pandemic.
It’s nice to share your struggles while keeping up with the strenuous workouts. Finish off the exercise date by eating a healthy lunch virtually and giving off some admiration for a job well done.
How sweet it is to listen to your partner’s voice while reading romantic poems or novels. Reading aloud to each other is a heart-sweeping virtual date because it can inspire thoughtful conversations and spark romantic memories together.
Find something that both of you will fancy and have never done before. Then sign up for a course, webinar, or a virtual class together. This activity is a great way for couples to bond. It will also help you learn more about the world, and your partner’s passions.
It could be anything from learning how to draw, paint, cocktail making, or learning a language. It’ll also give you something to practice and do together after the self-isolation days are over.
Even though the world’s current state is dimmed right now, your love life doesn’t have to be the same. More so, as we continue to live through the changes, we would need support from our loved ones more than ever. And constant communication and interaction with them can help with the overwhelming emotions most of us are probably feeling these days.
So, do continue the love even in the times of social distancing. Once everything goes back to normal, be ready to give and receive a big kiss and hug from your partner.

Arduino Uno with ArchLinux (3.8.4-1-ARCH)31 Mar 2013
I quickly explain how to make your arduino card works with your ArchLinux distrib by patching and installing the last version of rxtx.
Step 1 : Arduino package
Install the aur arduino package using the well known and loved binnary : yaourt.
yaourt -S arduino
Step 2 : Download, patch and install rxtx
Download the pre-release zip from http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/Download :
wget http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2.zip unzip rxtx-2.2pre2.xip cd rxtx-2.2pre2
Launch configure with the
--disable-lockfile option :
Here, if you try to compile, you’ll probably have a
UTS_RELEASE undefined error. To correct that, first locate the file
find /usr/ -name 'utsrelease.h'). In my case, it is located in
/lib/modules/3.8.4-1-ARCH/build/include/generated/. Then, include this file to
config.h (It’s a file generated by configure.) , so that that constant will be defined everywhere.
echo "\n#include \"/lib/modules/3.8.4-1-ARCH/build/include/generated/utsrelease.h\"\n" > config.h
Now, we have to add the ttyACMx devices to the list of checked devices. We just need to modify the file src/gnu/io/RXTXCommDriver.java, and add an entry into an array (ttyACM). See the diff file here :
--- src/gnu/io/RXTXCommDriver.java.back 2013-03-31 14:14:38.718567087 +0200 +++ src/gnu/io/RXTXCommDriver.java 2013-03-31 14:08:38.728149384 +0200 @@ -577,6 +577,7 @@ "ttyS", // linux Serial Ports "ttySA", // for the IPAQs "ttyUSB", // for USB frobs + "ttyACM",// linux CDC ACM devices "rfcomm", // bluetooth serial device "ttyircomm", // linux IrCommdevices (IrDA serial emu) };
The line marked with a plus is the one added.
Then, compile and install!
make && sudo make install
Use your arduino
You can now launch the arduino IDE (command arduino) and upload a test sketch (like blink). You can select your arduino uno wich will probably show as “ttyACM0” in the device list.
We disable the flag
--diseable-lockfile so that errors messages diseapear speaking about the impossibility to write lock files. We also added the right .h file containing
UTS_RELEASE to remove stupid compiling errors (the file in wich the macro is defined changed recently). To finish, we had to modify rxtx’s code (read the comments, they ask you to add missing devices) so that you can use ttyACMx. An other solution would be to add a symbolic link in /dev/ from a ttyUSBx to a ttyACMx.
Anyway, if you can’t use your arduino, and you have an error of the style
processing.app.SerialNotFoundException: [..] « /dev/ttyACM0 » not found, it’s probably that ttyACM is not in the list of rxtx’s devices.


There are very few points that people tend to enjoy about winter months, yet something that it brings with it that makes certain to put a smile on individuals's faces is the beginning of ski and snowboard period. Normally, by November, capitals are covered in snow and ready to go. That means you should not squander an additional second thinking about skiing when rather you might directly down to your favorite hill as well as start hitting the slopes.
If you are mosting likely to make the trip around though, you wish to make certain that it's going to be a truly fun time. That is very easy enough to do when you adhere to these four basic suggestions for ensuring that you have a remarkable ski weekend.
Select the Right Ski Hillside
This is by far the most important part regarding your ski trip planning. You can do every little thing else on this list completely, however if you did not choose a great ski hillside, then it isn't going to matter. But choosing the excellent ski hillside is a lot easier stated than done.
Among the important things that you require to quit and also take into consideration is just how well you recognize the ski hillside. It's not always a poor thing to wish to go out as well as explore a hill that you have actually never ever been to in the past, you simply have to see to it that it is the ideal time to do it.
If it has been a couple years given that you last went skiing and also you are taking your 6-year-old kid to learn to ski for the first time ever before, after that maybe it isn't such an excellent suggestion to check out a hill that you have actually never ever been to before. However, if it is simply you and your significant other vanishing on a charming ski weekend, then you can do not hesitate to go try that hillside that has constantly gotten on your container listing.
Another point that you require to consider is just how expensive lift tickets are at the ski hillside. Whereas several ski hillsides that are close to each various other tend to offer similar prices in order to not shed clients, ski hills that are in an additional state might have them substantially cheaper. Specific ski hillsides likewise supply various discount rates to people that acquire their lift tickets in groups of four or more or for truly young children, which can both be super practical for households taking place ski weekends with each other.

Much like with selecting the best ski hill, choosing the ideal location to stay likewise comes with multiple requirements that you need to take into consideration. Among which is its proximity to the ski hill that you have actually chosen to head to. Almost every ski hillside will typically have a wide variety of areas to remain at close by, so locating a suitable place that is close should not be as well tough.
If you are more info planning on carving up some powder in Colorado, after that you ought to seek an inn around Breckenridge that is no even more than a hr's drive away from capital. The last thing that you want to do is go somewhere for the weekend break and also invest just as much time taking a trip to as well as from the ski hillside as you do actually winter sports on it.
You likewise intend to make certain that you are checking out the price because similar to with the ski hillside, the cost of your lodging can make the distinction in between you going there or not. By examining different web sites, you could be able to find some really bargains that you might not otherwise be aware of.
It likewise may benefit you to check out a few of the hotel websites directly. When they are located close to a ski hill, often they will use various discounts and services to those people that are intending on going snowboarding while they remain at their resort in Breckenridge, CO
. Make a decision Exactly How You Want to Travel
This will absolutely be affected by the place of the ski hillside that you selected to visit. If you are intending to go winter sports somewhere that is only one city over, after that your traveling approaches are practically restricted to driving. Nevertheless, if you are headed one state over or perhaps better to some really fantastic hills, then you will certainly have the option to either fly or drive.
Traveling might end up costing a little bit more than driving to your destination would, yet it can also imply that you obtain numerous extra hours to invest in the ski hillside instead of sitting in a lorry. It can frequently be a little bit of a discomfort to attempt and fly with your ski devices, so if you own your equipment and also plan on bringing it with you, then you need to also consider this factor when making your choice.
If you do wind up driving, after that make sure that your vehicle is probably prepared to handle the winter driving. This suggests inspecting the step on your tires, possibly bringing it in for an oil change, and also having an emergency set in your vehicle, or at least, having a blanket as well as flashlight.
Examine the Weather condition
Whenever you are taking a trip anywhere for any factor, it is constantly a good concept to inspect the weather beforehand. No matter what the weather claims, it likely will not quit you from taking place your trip, especially if you booked the resort and also acquired the lift tickets already. But what it could do is inform you regarding what to expect when you are out on the ski hill.
If you see that it is expected to be exceptionally cold for the duration of your trip, then you might want to take into consideration packing a few added layers to use to make sure that you do not need to cut your ski day short since you are no more able to feel your hands.

As promised, I am here to share my current favourite Christmas cookie – The Melting Moment. These delectable bites really do melt and crumble in your mouth and with a recipe this simple, it’s easy to make them at a moment’s notice (did you get that? did you see what I did there?) I included some hydrangeas in my photo today, because down here, the festive season occurs in the midst of summer when these beautiful plants are flowering.
Melting Moment Recipe
125g butter (softened)
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbs icing sugar
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup corn flour
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tsp milk
Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Stir in the flours till combined.
Pipe little rosettes onto a lined tray.
Bake till golden.
For the filling, simply beat all the ingredients until smooth and spreadable.
Join two sides together with a slab of filling and voila!
Notes on the Recipe
I double this recipe, so I have plenty to offer friends and family, or even wrap some up for gifts.
You could make red and green icing for Christmas-themed cookies.
You could probably just dollop small amounts straight onto a tray if you don’t have a piping bag, I’m sure it would be fine. The mixture would be too wet to handle too much or roll into a ball, but you could scrap little mounds from a spoon.
These look lovely if served dusted with a little icing sugar.

Bushkill Park Roller Rink in Easton, PA
You've been asking and we're finally ready! LVRD is getting back on the track after a two-year hiatus. If you've been thinking about playing roller derby, now is the perfect time to join our new recruit program since veterans and new recruits alike will be working on the very basics of roller derby skills. Not interested in skating? We would love to train you to be a non-skating official with our league. Every role is important in getting roller derby back on the track in 2022!
Our February meet and greet will be a fun, regular open skate - not a try-out. Rentals are available if you don't have your own gear. Hang out, chat, and skate with members of our league. Ask all your burning questions, bring up your concerns!
Following our February Meet & Greet, boot camp to become a skating member of our league will begin on Monday, March 7th and continue every Monday and Thursday from 8:00-10:00 pm. You'll be joining our league at a time when we're all working on the basics. Our only requirement is that you have a very basic level of skating. We will teach you the skills you need to increase your confidence on skates and then move into more advanced skills. We're seriously all starting from that same baseline after two years!
Participation in boot camp is $25 which covers the cost of training, skate rental, and loaner gear. The only gear you need to bring is a mouth guard, face covering, and water bottle!
Become a Skater
Learn what it takes to become a member of our team. See demonstrations of the skills that will be needed for our upcoming try outs. Email us to learn about our next Open Recruit Night.
Transfers welcome at any time!
Join the Refs and Other Volunteers

And most times with nothing more than love as payment. Without them, the game could not go on.
Hang out with us
Want to know where you can catch the lovely ladies of LVRD out and about?

The PS-6700PW offers the same features as the PS-5700PW but with a larger 16 x 18 platform. The unique pass/fail mode can store a user-defined minimum weight, maximum weight, and equipment allowance, reducing the weigh-in process to only one step. Net weight can also be displayed if necessary for borderline conditions and older/lighter players. With no moving parts and advanced microprocessor design, the PS-6700PW is virtually maintenance free. The PS-6700PW also operates as normal scale when not in pass/fail mode.
Constructed entirely of aircraft aluminum, the PS-6700PW is extremely durable yet surprisingly lightweight. It has an incredible 500 lb. weight capacity and provides precise and reliable weight measurements accurate to within 0.1 lb. The PS-6700PW uses a rugged (all aluminum) and efficient battery powered console. Battery life is incredible at 2+ years (over 40,000 weight readings) on a single set of alkaline batteries (included). The PS-6700PW is an exceptional scale at an exceptional price.

|We are excited to offer our first edition of "Roastmaster's Talk". Check back frequently for new issues with more valuable information about coffee and coffee roasting.|
Roastmaster's Talk Issue 1.1
Welcome to the first issue of Roastmaster’s Talk. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve had countless “Roastmaster talks” with customers while a batch of beans has tumbled around in the coffee roaster. I will use this forum to discuss common questions about coffee and tea, highlight new offerings, seasonal drink ideas, and post responses to emails.
My passion for coffee began while working in my parent’s coffee shop as a teenager. I was intrigued by the exotic origins of the coffee beans I was packaging for our customers. We were “just” retailers of beans supplied by a variety of regional coffee roasters. Visits to our suppliers’ roasting plants and sessions at their cupping tables gave me a greater understanding of what it takes to unlock the full potential of a coffee bean. My college years provided me an opportunity to research and write papers on the history, cultivation, and production of coffee. The desire to have the greatest control over our products’ quality led to the opening of our coffee roasting operation in 1991.
To be successful as a specialty coffee roaster, I feel one must be dedicated to these principles:
Source great raw arabica green beans from around the world.
It is my hope to address all of these topics, and more, as I share my thoughts in this forum. Please feel free to email your questions and comments to: email@example.com.
Thanks for visiting our site. May your next cup be a great one!


‘The devil is in the details’ is an English idiom that expresses the idea that something may, at first glance, look simple, but that upon closer inspection it becomes clear that getting the details right is not as easy as it may first appear. Few people know the truth of this expression more than serious model railway enthusiasts. For a non-enthusiast, it is easy to look in on the kits and simply see a scale model railway. But the enthusiast knows that the details can really make or break the whole success of the scale railway setup. For many enthusiasts, the couplings are the hardest thing to get right.
The problem is that many couplings do not accurately replicate the way that coaches and engines hook together. In many instances, they are over simplified and detract from the look of the overall railway. Worse still, they may not line up. Many manufacturers do not follow a standard approach, meaning that if you have collected coaches or engines from different suppliers, the couplings may not match. In other instances, the couplings may simply be impractical. For example, with some couplings, the gap between the coaches is enormous. For some kits, if you were to calculate the gap between the carriages in terms of the scale of the kit, the couplings would be positioning the coaches as much as 1.5metres apart! In real life this would simply not happen. For one thing, it would make moving between coaches impossible!
One way around this is by replacing the couplings with something that looks good but also maintains the realism in your setup. After all, when you have gone to the effort of getting the right coaches and engines, and you have created your scenery around your track, why let the couplings be the detail that spoils the entire look of your system?
At CRT Kits we can supply couplings for your kits. We have three options. The simplest is the three link chain couplings. This was a peculiarly British method of connecting freight trains on older lines. The three link chain couplings extended the gap between the carriages. This made it easier for trains to get moving as they could essentially move one carriage at a time as the chains pulled taut, rather than moving all the carriages at once. However, the sacrifice was that the journey was incredibly bumpy and not suitable for passenger travel. As an alternative, the screw-link couplings and instanter couplings offered a compromise. This had a middle link which could be adjusted to shorted the slack in the train and reduce the bumpiness of the ride. Our couplings are available in all three types, with machined brass parts and steel chain links. They are ideal for creating authentic couplings which not only look good, but also connect your coaches effectively.
For all enquiries about our parts and accessories, including couplings, and our kit building services, contact us using the details on the website. We are ready to help you!


Artful Body is a Pilates studio located in the Montrose neighborhood of South Orange, New Jersey.
Artful Body provides a creative, core-centered approach to health and wellness. The Artful Body approach is to empower you to be your own most-effective health and wellness resource. By training you to train yourself, Artful Body workouts support your profound and innate ability to strengthen and heal yourself. In addition to being a challenging workout for the mind and body, every session is fun! Playful metaphors and creative imagery keep levity amidst the concentrated focus while musical dynamics are incorporated to keep workouts flowing.
Relying on Joseph Pilates' philosophy of biomechanics as the foundation, Artful Body is a classical Pilates studio (Mr. Pilates called it "Contrology: the Art of Control" while today the work is simply called "Pilates"). Pilates is well-known to produce long, lean muscles and promote strength, flexibility, and proper postural alignment. Every session is not only classical in content but also in context; we teach classical Pilates, classically, for the benefit of the body andmind. Because of the classical emphasis on aligning mind and body, workouts leave you feeling invigorated and not depleted.
Artful Body is housed in one wing of a three-wing, historic barn that was built in 1907; the space lending an air of creativity married with functionality. Originally built to bathe the horses that lived on site, the studio wing was shortly thereafter converted into a maintenance house for an early era automobile and then, later, turned into an art gallery for a photographer's agent in NYC. Artefacts of each of these eras peak out from the corners and walls and invite you to see yourself in your fullest potential- as a work in playful progress. The broad windows and original sliding barn door flood the space with natural light and views to nature, giving you a peaceful environment to connect mindfully with your body.
Creative. Smart. Historically inspired. Artful Body- who doesn't want one?
Create your health!
Meg Berry is a classically-trained Pilates instructor, singer/songwriter, dancer, and former competitive athlete, as well as an anthropologist, historian, global citizen, social entrepreneur, and mother of three.

Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan is one of the 3 major styles of Tai Chi Chuan. The others are Yang and Chen. Each of these 3 styles is named from the family that has practiced, taught, and passed it on to later generations. Traditionally, the study and practice of the art has been “family property”. Family members devote their lives to teaching and practicing the art. They are also considered to be the ultimate authority on their style. “Tai Chi” is a contraction of the more traditional term “Tai Chi Chuan”. Chuan is a general term that can be translated as “martial discipline”, or “boxing”.
The slow motions one usually identifies as Tai Chi Chuan are known as “The Form” or “The Chuan”. This is a series of movements that may last from 10 minutes to 1/2 hour. The Form is very important and is the basis for training in Tai Chi Chuan. The form has aspects of health, martial arts and meditation. However it is still only a part of the complete training in the art. The martial aspect of The Form is not readily apparent to the uninitiated. A simple answer could be “You must be able to do it slow before you can expect to do it fast”, but there is much more to it than that. Besides the obvious martial benefits of balance, co-ordination, and looseness The Form also cultivates qualities like a relaxed focused mind and healthy resilient body. It trains the core motion and reactions of the practitioner, increasing the person’s martial potential. The Form also contains, in its movements, a myriad of martial applications and the elements of power generation. These are hidden from an untrained observer in much the same way that fine poetry will not be revealed to someone who has not learned the language yet. The Form is the basis of Tai Chi Chuan but “Push Hands” is considered the “gateway into martial arts”. There are also other martial exercises beyond Push Hands. The confusion about Tai chi Chuan being a martial art has probably arisen in part because many Tai Chi Chuan schools only practice The Form and exercises focused on health and meditation. This may be because the founder of the school has not learned the martial practices or that the students do not have the desire or have progressed far enough to learn them.
Two reasons. First, respect to the teacher and the art becomes, since the art is passed on and taught by family members, respect for the generations that have worked and refined, and passed the art on so that you can learn it. Second, that the lineage and teachers of a person is the best measure, short of actually working with them, of their proficiency in the art. This is because the art can not be learned from a book, it requires hands-on training. Books (e.g. the Tai Chi Chuan classics) can be used to help solidify and promote understanding (“sign-posts on the road”) but no more than that. Family members traditionally accord the greatest respect and are the ultimate authority on the art. This authority may seem arbitrary to western thinking but it is based on practical facts. Family members learned and practiced Tai Chi Chuan with the greatest masters alive – the older generations. They would start as young as 3 and practice full-time. Furthermore, advanced training and concepts where only available to family members or those very close to it (“disciples”). It is hard for an outside practitioner to achieve that kind of focus or to have that quality and diversity of teachers.

Camping is a blast, whether you’re roasting marshmallows with the kids, hiking mountains with friends, or just relaxing with your favorite person while you watch the sun set over a lake.
Unfortunately, camping also takes a bit of planning. (Don’t we wish we could just show up!) If you’re new to camping and not sure where to start, this quick camping guide walks you through everything you need to do to have a relaxing, restorative outdoor break.
Book your campsite close to home
When it comes to choosing the perfect campsite, let’s start with a tip that’ll have you thanking yourself later: camp close to home. This way, you can easily get back if you forget something crucial or the weather takes a turn for the worse. Plus, exploring the hidden gems near your backyard might surprise you! Camping near home lets you create memories without too much fuss. Check out National Parks or KOA campgrounds near you.
Wherever you go, make sure you book your campsite in advance. They can go fast!
Get your gear
If you’ve never been camping before (or not since you went with your family as a kid), then you’re going to have to buy or rent some supplies.
Here’s a checklist of the basic camping gear we recommend for any beginner camper (or for a pro camper looking to refresh some worn-out pieces). If you’re an ID.me member, just click the links to get ID.me discounts or cash back!
If you’re going to be hiking, your backpack will be your most important piece of equipment. Choose something light, breathable, and durable that can carry plenty of water and supplies.
If you’re not sure you’ll love camping, then you may be able to rent a tent for this first trip. But if you’re committed, then investing in a good tent is essential. Choose something with plenty of space. If you’ll be camping during cooler months, make sure your tent is appropriate for the temperature.

Sleeping bags and pads
What’s the quickest way to ruin a camping trip? Get no sleep. If you want to have fun, make sure you have a warm, dry, cozy sleeping arrangement. That means a sleeping bag appropriate for the temperature where you’re camping, a well-insulated sleeping pad that protects you from the cold ground, a camping pillow, and anything else you need to wake up well-rested and ready to explore.
- Stoic Groundwork Single Sleeping Bag | Backcountry
- Stoic Double Cloud Camp Bed | Backcountry
- ALPS Mountaineering Camp Pillow | Backcountry
If you’re backpacking, you can’t take a cooler, unfortunately. Stock up on dry food like trail mix, oatmeal, and dehydrated veggies! But if you’re camping near your car or RV, then you can bring along some fresh fruit and milk. Get a nice big cooler (bigger than the one you use for a quick picnic) so you can store all the food you need and plenty of ice.
Nice big water bottles are essential for camping. If you’ll be doing lots of hiking, consider getting a water bladder that you can drink from hands-free.
Shop travel mugs
You’ll get sick of GORP pretty fast, so make sure to get a camping stove to make some filling dinners (you’ll be hungry!) and hot coffee. Don’t count on making everything over a fire, because lots of campsites ban fires during the hot months. (Always check before lighting one!)
Pots, pans, spatulas, forks, knives, spoons… You’ll need all of it. Choose lightweight cookware and utensils that won’t take up too much space. Kits that nest together are a great option.
Chairs are optional, but they can make your camping trip much more comfortable. If you’re backpacking and can’t carry a chair, consider a mat that will insulate you from the ground when you sit.
- Trailhead Camp Chair | YETI
It’s smart to bring flashlights, but don’t stop there. Headlamps are great to free up your hands, and lanterns make it much more pleasant to sit outside as it gets dark. Don’t forget to bring extra batteries or a portable charger.
Hiking Shoes or Boots
If you’ll be doing lots of hiking, sturdy and comfortable boots are a must. Sore feet and blisters will ruin your trip just as quickly as a bad night’s sleep. If you buy new boots, make sure to wear them a bit first in case they need some breaking in.

Clothes for rain and cold
Come prepared for any weather you might encounter. Even if it’s pretty warm in your area, it will be colder after dark. Bring warm layers and reliable rain gear.
- Crew Neck Sunshirt | YETI
- Men’s PFG Zero Rules™ Ice Hoodie | Columbia Sportswear
- Women’s Arcadia™ II Rain Jacket | Columbia Sportswear
Sunscreen and bug repellant
When you’re packing your usual toiletries, make sure to bring these along too!
Plan your trip
Some of us are natural-born adventurers who love to go with the flow – and that works! Embracing spontaneity can lead to unexpected surprises, and there’s nothing wrong with planning to spend your camping trip just kicking back by the lake.
However, a little bit of preparation can go a long way in ensuring you have a fantastic time. Consider looking up some hiking trails in the area ahead of time or researching outdoor sports you might want to try. Who knows, you might find a breathtaking summit or discover your inner rock-climbing superhero! Don’t forget to pack some games and books for rainy days. They can transform a dreary afternoon into a cozy, laughter-filled gathering.
Camping Tips from Reddit
Experienced campers have offered awesome tips on multiple Reddit threads to help you make the most of your newbie camping experience. We’ve curated some of the best for you!
- Consider purchasing wood closer to your camping location to prevent the spread of pests and insects. Transporting wood can also be illegal in some places.
- Some effective fire starters include cotton balls wiped in petroleum jelly or dryer lint. Remember to start with small kindling and gradually increase the size of the fuel, ensuring the fire gets plenty of oxygen.
- Invest in a good tarp and learn how to pitch it for protection from the elements. Insulate the ground underneath your sleeping bag. Sleeping pads are not just for comfort but also for thermal insulation.
- Bring essentials like towels (preferably microfiber), duct tape, a tarp or two, soap, and hand sanitizer. These can prove extremely useful.
- Be prepared for water-related situations, whether during hiking, at night, or while you’re sleeping. Cold nights and unexpected rain can pose challenges.
- Avoid bringing food or smelly items into the tent to prevent attracting wildlife like raccoons or bears. Lock your cooler in the car to keep it safe from animals.
- Consider a minimalist style of camping, even if you’re car camping, to avoid carrying too much unnecessary equipment.
- Look at State and National Parks for your camping excursion. They’re usually affordable and tended by park rangers who may be able to help if you run into trouble. (Just be warned that these sites can book many months in advance.)
- Learn camping tips from the experts – REI! Videos like How to Build a Fire will help you navigate your first camping experience like a pro.
Enjoy Your Summer Camping!
Pack up your gear, get out there, and enjoy yourself! Organizing a camping trip can be stressful, especially if you’re a beginner or you’re bringing along kids or pets. But remember that the point of all this prep and planning is to have a wonderful time out in nature (which is proven to reduce stress!) If you’ve followed this guide, you have everything you need and a beautiful campsite booked close to home. Drink in that fresh air and have a wonderful time!


I bring 20 years of experience and an authentic, approachable attitude to the tarot. My readings find their roots in solidifying the relationship between you, the cards, and spirit. I act as a communication channel to notice and express energies manifesting in your life, and what you can do about it all to be your happiest.
Why choose me as your tarot reader?
I have always been a witch, and I grew up in a Spiritualist home. I went to my first table-tipping and facilitated energy healing sessions before I hit puberty. I’ve been reading cards for nearly 20 years. My experience with magical and divination practice is infused with constant and diverse spirit listening. My mediumship primarily manifests in clairsentience (clear feeling) and claircognizance (clear knowing), with some clairaudience (clear hearing): all of this means I feel my mediumship in my body, primarily through physical sensation on my skin and in my muscles. My card reading always starts from this intuitive place, not from the dozens of tarot books I’ve read over the years (though those certainly haven’t hurt). My readings find their roots in solidifying the relationship between querent (that’s you!), cards, spirit, and myself as a communication channel to notice and express energies manifesting in your life, and what you can do about it all to be your happiest self.
I really believe that every tarot reader has a different perspective on reading the cards, and that all of these methods are valid. What matters is finding the right reader for you at a certain point in time. I may be the perfect reader for you this week! Maybe next year someone else’s vibes may mesh with your wavelength a little more. Who knows, maybe we’ll just get each other. It’s all good. I don’t pretend to have a monopoly on understanding the One Way of the tarot. Follow your intuition. There is some spectacular magic that can happen when you follow your bliss and your gut and find a reader who connects with your spirits and your energies and your concerns at just the right time. Tarot reading is, for me, a truly intuitive and collaborative experience. I love flowing with the different energies that clients bring to a reading. I always hope to facilitate strong connection, breakthrough, and clarity.
Sliding scale rates
In the interest of making healing and spiritual clarity through tarot more financially accessible, I am offering tarot readings on a sliding scale on a selective basis. If this is an option you feel you require at this point in time, please contact me via email and we can discuss how I can best support making this service accessible for you.
Time based readings
Instead of arranging my prices based on how many cards we draw together or what spread we use, I arrange my pricing based on how much time we spend together. This leaves space for the reading to really open up and meet your needs – which may change, as our session moves along! What starts off as a three-card reading, looking at one general question, can get more complicated and nuanced depending what cards emerge and what further questions those cards stir up in you. Based on what cards we draw and how they relate to your inquiry, you may wish to shift focus within the reading: we can either draw more cards for clarity, or spend a lot of time unpacking just one. More cards doesn’t always mean more useful information.
60 minute readings
Usually starts with a 3-card reading to set the tone, moving into expansion with an intuitive spread that is responsive to your situation(s)
In-depth exploration of one or two general areas of your life
In-depth exploration of one specific nitty-gritty question
Looking at the pros and cons of responding two different ways to one situation (i.e., choosing one job over another, attending a festival or not)
90-120 minute readings
Usually starts with a general 3-card reading or customized-to-you tarot spread; expansion into multi-card reading as we fine-tune your concerns
General exploration of 2-3 general areas of your life
Very in-depth exploration of one area of concern, both general and specific (i.e., love life in general as well as getting down and dirty into the nitty-gritty details; or: health in general and delving into different modalities of self-care and community-care)
Looking at the pros and cons of many different options (i.e., choosing between different schools, programs of study, jobs, or new cities to live in)
How to book a session
I offer sessions in person in Toronto. We can have a session at a cafe, over a drink, or somewhere more private (my place or yours)! I know everyone has a different type of space that helps them feel more comfortable. Or, if mobility or distance is an issue, I’m happy to Skype, and regularly work with clients all over the world (including India, Australia, USA, UK)!
If you’re interested in booking, please browse over to my Online Appointment Booking System!
Choosing your deck
I am currently doing readings with three tarot decks (all illustrated by women), though I live with many more. These decks are the Rider-Waite-Smith, a classic and one of my favourite decks of all time due to how iconic and communicative the illustrations are; Thea’s Tarot, a 70s queer deck illustrated in black and white paper cuts by Ruth West; and The Wild Unknown by Kim Krans, which has simple, sketchy, animal and plant-centric imagery. You can see the three decks on this images on this page. They each have different personalities and imagery, and will result in different energy and different readings. Please choose the deck that you feel drawn to the most! The RWS deck is more traditional in its imagery, while Thea’s Tarot has a more obviously dykey, non-binary, gender-fluid vibe. Or, avoid human imagery altogether and lose yourself in The Wild Unknown’s stark, evocative images of nature. (Addendum: I recently added The Dark Days tarot to my roster, more on that soon!)
Do your part: how to prepare
Let me help you make the most out of our time together! Before our session, I ask you to please spend some time connecting to your heart and your body, so we can really work together on addressing your most pressing concerns. Calm your mind and body, if you can, and move forward with an open mind and heart, without blocking off any potential avenues for action and growth without fully exploring it and giving it a chance. Try to make a short-list of priority topics. A tarot reading can offer insight on any area of life, including classics like employment, love, and family; but we can also consult the tarot about community organizing, self-care, self-love, artistic process, and chosen family.
If you’re not sure how to formulate the best questions, I can help you during our session. However, in order to get the biggest bang for your buck, I’d suggest coming prepared with a few open-ended questions (i.e.: not of the yes-or-no variety). Some inspiration: What do I need to know about _ right now? What do I need to keep in mind when addressing _ this week/month/year? What type of attitude and perspective is necessary on my part to achieve a positive and healthy experience in relation to _?
I also ask that, together, we respect the cards, the spirits, and the process of mutual creation and discovery that happens within a tarot reading. The cards may not tell you what you want to hear, and I may not either! Tarot does not always pad our egos. Tarot can tell us where we fucked up, and what we’ve done well. I ask that you enter into this process with me with an open heart, an open mind, and an understanding that in my practice my methodology is one of intuition and of love and collaboration. Whatever I share with you from the cards and the spirits comes from a place of true belief that we can all be better, and that you have the tools you need to understand and change your situation with increased clarity. Cultivating reflexivity and self-understanding is an important part of transformation – and the tarot is really great at helping to push this process along!
Something else to consider: please take the reading process seriously! Please don’t waste my time, your time, or the time and effort of our spirits and guides. If you’re going to book a reading, please don’t disrespect the process or what emerges as we work together. Tarot does not always tell you exactly what you want to hear!
I am a queer identified non binary femme and have experience with trauma and different forms of disability and chronic illness. All of the work that I do, including my tarot readings, is invigorated by a fierce anti-oppressive ethic and I strive to fight sexism, racism, colonialism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, fatphobia, ableism, white supremacy, and cis supremacy in all that I do. Your readings with me are strictly confidential; I will not share your deets with anyone. I will never push one solution on you. I will never act as though I know more about your situation than you do. I will not act as though your future is set in stone. Instead, I will work with you to notice the energies (both flowing and blocked) in your life, as shown to us by the cards, and work with you to make a plan to face it all head-on and with renewed sense of self-knowledge, self-affirmation, self-love, and confidence. My practice is focused on noticing the magic within mundane life and sharing that magic with you. If you have any input to how I can make my readings more accessible, please let me know!

We all know how hard it is to keep resolutions once the new year is underway. If you resolved to do something different – or be more active – in 2017, come out to Open Farm Day at Windrush Alpacas on Saturday, January 14, 10 am to 3 pm.
Visiting an alpaca farm is certainly a different kind of entertainment and exercise. A tour of our farm will keep you moving! You will learn why we chose to raise alpacas, how we care for them and what we do with their fleece in the spring. Our alpacas each have a name and very different personalities. A visit to the farm is a unique experience.
While here, stop in our Farm Store. We sell toasty, warm alpaca products. Warmer than wool and softer than cashmere, we have luxuriously soft alpaca scarves, gloves, mittens, and hats… and everyone’s favorite, socks and slippers.
Admission is free and refreshments will be served at the Farm Store. If it’s a little too cold, we’ll bring one of the alpacas inside too for you to visit with and feed.
Start your new year in a new way. And if you’ve been here before, come again! There is always something interesting to learn and see at Windrush Alpacas. Stop by anytime on Saturday, January 14 between 10 am and 3 pm! Be ready for plenty of picture taking too!
