Choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will have to make as a parent because it affects not just their academic performance, but also their relationship with learning and their character development. This is why you want to make sure you pick one that can offer the kind of environment where your child feels comfortable and happy.

The good news is that you have a lot of options. Unfortunately, too many options can make you feel overwhelmed, especially since you know that this is a high-pressure decision.

So how do you choose the right school for your child?

You can look at test scores, read reviews and ask for recommendations from friends or family, but nothing compares to an actual visit. This is when you have the opportunity to get a sense of the environment and ask a few questions. What should you ask? That’s exactly what we will discuss in this article.

What Do You Do When a Child Gets Upset or Homesick?

Considering how young kids are when they go to primary school, there’s a good chance at least some of them will get homesick, upset, lost or have trouble making friends. This means your primary school choices should also depend on how well the school staff can handle these types of situations.

During your visit, ask the staff if they have any policies to help your child adjust to a new environment and what they do your child gets upset or if they see them playing alone during breaks because they’re too afraid to approach the other children.

How Many Children Are in Each Class?

You’ll also want to ask about the student-teacher ratio. If there are fewer kids in a class, it means that the teachers will be able to give each child more individual attention, which is especially important at such a young age.

Moreover, if there are fewer kids in a classroom, your child is less likely to feel overwhelmed and will have an easier time making friends. Don’t forget to also how many kids will be in each class in later years as well.

What Are the Lunchtime Arrangements?

Of course, you want your child to eat healthy food while they’re at school. Most schools have weekly menus so the parents can see what they’re kids are going to eat at lunchtime. If your child has any food allergies, ask the staff how they can accommodate them.

You should also ask if your child is allowed to bring packed lunch instead, and if so, what type of food and drinks are you allowed to put in their lunchbox. Some schools have very strict rules regarding these aspects.

What About Before and After School Activities?

If you work a full-time job, you’ll need to think about how you’re going to accommodate that. Many preschools offer extended hours so you’ll want to choose a school that also offers extra-curricular activities and clubs before and after school so you can drop your kids off on your way to work and pick them up on your way home.

This will save you a lot of time because otherwise, you’d either have to hire a baby-sitter or look for other options outside school. However, you’d still have to take the time away from work to drive your child from one place to another.

By  |

Introducing Coconutfam, fresh New York recording artist known for unique lyricism and sound, he recently created a buzz with a trio of viral hits in “Gunhill Zone,” “Venus” and “Xantia.” With a new world at his attention, the 21-year-old Bronx-bred sensation makes a critically-acclaimed first impression with his debut release, titled, Go Home Leave Me The Fuck Alone. Led by the lead, “Vanessa,” Coconutfam uses his debut to deliver a candid in-depth look into his past as he prepares for a bright future.

With “Vanessa,” GHLMFA is an eight-track beginning perfect for newly discovered fans and a pivotal moment for grassroots fans. Each track on the new album delivers a unique story that addresses hunger to succeed against all odds, love from both friends and family alike and crafting an undeniable sound that puts him in the same discussions as New York’s most popular artsy.

From beginning to end, Coconutfam is exciting, passionate, unique and refreshing. A radical, the fresh face in Hip-Hop isn’t only creating a new wave for the East Coast but quickly spreading throughout the U.S. And with more great content to arise during this campaign, Coconutfam is promised to be on the top of the charts in no-time.

“This is a project-based off of a cover that was found at a gas station in New Jersey,” Coconutfam says in the press release. “The words ‘Go Home Leave me the fu Alone’ resonates with the feeling of being alone yet Loved at the same time… without leaving the bitterness of Heartbreak and struggle… while still preserving a sense of self-worth. Each song is inspired by various situations with women in my life that have helped mold me into the young strong individual I am up to date. This proves that even a still regular Picture to the naked eye can be found Just as inspiring as a Work of art.”

TopDeck Foundation

TopDeck is a public charity that is dedicated to raising funds to support the morale and mission of the Cornelius Police Department.

What is TopDeck Foundation?

TopDeck is a public charity that is dedicated to raising funds to support the morale and mission of Cornelius Police Department. Today, our police do more with less in an uncertain environment. TopDeck envisions supporting employee recognition programs, incremental training and tools as well as team building activities which are outside the town’s budget but within the Department’s needs.

What is the mission of TopDeck?

The need for TopDeck was recognized after the Cornelius community spontaneously donated money for our Officer who had been shot in the line of duty.  For its part, The Police Department had no formal process to accept and distribute the funds to officers or activities supporting the Force.  The community’s direct support of the Police mission was admirable but ineffective.  With a formal organization the Chief can plan on supplemental funds and determine how best to leverage the generosity of the community.

The CPD has a tax-revenue sourced budget.  There are good policy reasons to keep our taxes low; yet we would like to provide Cornelius Police Department with items and programs that are not covered in the budget. The only way to increase the budget (without raising taxes) is to have the community voluntarily provide additional funds.

TopDeck Foundation was incorporated as a N.C. LLC by Don & Bridget Rainey and Mark & Kim Sailors in late 2015.   It is a public charity (non-profit) that has received 501 (c)3 designation from the IRS.

What are the funds used for?

Each year the CPD liaison committee works with CPD to determine the best use of funds. In the last few years we have provided  QuikClot kits for all patrol cars and lake patrol boats, an ice-maker for the Police Department; Honor Guard uniforms, external armor/Vest carry protective gear distributed swearing-in anniversary gifts to officers and more!

What is the goal of TopDeck?

TopDeck raises funds that enable Chief Black to make his Department the best place in North Carolina to have a law enforcement career and keeps Cornelius a great place to live.

How can I help?

Join our fundraising committee. Buy a car magnet. Attend our events. Thank an officer!

For more information please feel free to email or talk with any Advisory Board Member.

My collection of crystal jewelry is specially designed for an intention of wellbeing, from happiness and kindness to prosperity and abundance.  When you follow your heart, it’s easy to choose the best crystal jewelry for your healing needs. I have the perfect jewelry for uplifting your soul.

It is said that the crystal chooses you and not the other way around. In fact, there’s a reason that you’re drawn to a particular piece of jewelry or crystal—it’s exactly what you need in that moment.  Capture that Moment!

Gold Sheen Obsidian Pendant – Pendant 2 ½” x 2 ½” – 925 Sterling Silver Necklace 16”

Gold Sheen Obsidian assists in clearing issues of the Will.  It is an excellent stone for perpetrators and victims of abuse who wish to clear all aspects of power abuse from their energetic systems.  It is a powerful stone for exposing ego motivations and assisting one in realigning one’s power and action with Divine Will.

Gold Sheen Obsidian can help one feel more capable of creating and directing one’s life.  It is ideal for enhancing one’s direction and clarity of purpose.

There are several methods to cleanse crystals or semi-precious stones.

  • Smudge a crystal with sage to cleanse it, I advise to do the cleansing process once a month or when you feel the need.
  • An easy method to recharge a crystal is to simply set it in the sun or the moon for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Place the crystal or stone in a bed of rock salt for 24-48 hours

How to activate/set your intentions for your crystals and stone.

Sit quietly, holding the stones in both of your hands. Breathe in the highest white light and then visualize your intention for the jewelry. The stones are listening. After programming the crystals with your intention, your crystal is now activated.  Manifesting new intentions by meditating on what you could achieve without negative energy blocking your path.

Actual colors may vary. This is due to computer monitors displaying colors differently and everyone can see these colors differently. We try extremely hard to ensure our photos are as life-like as possible, but please understand the actual color may vary slightly from your monitor.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a primary form of health care that uses natural therapies such as Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Cupping, Moxibustion, massage (Tuina), dietary and lifestyle advice and preventative health care. The primary feature of TCM is the idea that good health relies on restoring balance within the body by assisting it to heal itself.

How does treatment work?

Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of fine, sterile, single use, disposable needles into specific sites (acupuncture points) along the body’s energy pathways (meridians) to clear energy blockages and encourage the normal flow of energy, or Qi, through the body.

The acupuncture points may also be stimulated using other methods, including acupressure, moxibustion, cupping, laser therapy, electro-stimulation and massage, in order to rebalance the flow of qi.

Herbal Medicine may be prescribed, incorporating a range of different herbs which are carefully formulated specifically for your presentation.

At Longevity Chinese Medicine we use only the highest quality herbal granules allowing you a safe and effective way to return to optimal health.

White House has signed off on Joe Biden getting the President’s Daily Brief

White House has signed off on Joe Biden getting the President’s Daily Brief

Three weeks after the election, the White House has given formal approval for President-elect Joe Biden to receive the President’s Daily Brief, a White House official told CNN Tuesday.

Coordination on when Biden will receive his first briefing is currently underway, but the move is another step toward a transition of power that President Donald Trump held up for weeks after it was clear he lost the 2020 election.

It follows a formal notice by the General Services Administration Monday night that the formal transition of government can proceed.

Receiving a classified intelligence briefing is typically one of the first rights of a presidential candidate after winning the election. It contains information about pressing national security issues that the new president will soon face. But Biden has yet to receive an intelligence briefing because of Trump’s effort to overturn the results of the election, which cause confusion inside the federal government over whether a transition could begin.

The PDB, as it’s known, is prepared by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the President, vice president and senior advisers.

An ODNI official attributed the change directly to the White House’s move to formally grant Biden access to the PDB. CNN previously reported the decision was Trump’s and the access to the PDB could have been granted before the GSA administrator made the transition official Monday.

ODNI, which is overseen by Trump’s handpicked intelligence chief John Ratcliffe, previously referred all questions about Biden and the PDB back to the White House, underscoring the fact that the decision regarding Biden’s access to the nation’s most highly classified secrets rested with Trump.

“Following the statutory direction of the Presidential Transition Act, ODNI will provide requested support to the transition team,” an ODNI spokesperson told CNN on Tuesday. “This afternoon the White House approved ODNI to move forward with providing the PDB as part of the support to the transition.”

A Biden transition official told CNN they had no comment on the decision to give the President-elect a classified briefing. Biden declined to answer a shouted question on the status of the briefings as he introduced his top national security picks Tuesday.

The ODNI official said this transition period could include providing an overview of the agency and related operations in addition to supporting the delivery of intelligence briefings.

The PDB is often tailored to the President currently in office. President George W. Bush preferred being briefed orally by his top intelligence aides while President Barack Obama often read through his on a secure tablet. Trump often received his in late-morning sessions with career intelligence officials, though at times it disappeared from his schedule altogether.

For the last three weeks, Trump has sought to overturn the results of an election that his own administration described as the most secure in US history, before he fired the official who made that statement. In recent days, more Republicans had come forward to urge Trump to allow Biden to receive classified intelligence briefings, including his longtime ally South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Escape to warmer climes at the 5-star Litore Resort Hotel and Spa, ideally located on the picturesque Turkish Riviera in the paradise resort of Alanya. Opened in summer 2015, the Litore Resort Hotel sits on a prime spot of the coastal real estate, overlooking its very own 150m private Mediterranean beach. Add this to its three swimming pools and extensive spa facilities, Litore guests will be spoilt for choice when it comes to relaxing by the water, and that’s only the beginning…

Spread over six floors, Litore’s 261 rooms will keep you well-rested in swathes of tranquillity, with three pillow choices, myriad services upon check-in and ultra-all-inclusive options for your utmost comfort. The hotel’s dreamy ambience make it a perfect romantic getaway or honeymoon destination, however, families are more than welcome, with many of the hotel’s facilities and offer aimed directly at children, including children’s pools and three kids’ clubs (ages 1-3, 4-7 and 8-12).

Add this to the dedicated spa area, a plethora of sports and activities, and the vast number of dining options available, and you may need more than a week at the Litore Resort Hotel & Spa to discover everything this incredible five-star resort has to offer. Why not take home a new skill and enrol in one of the hotel’s dance or mixology courses?

If you can bring yourself to leave the comfort of the hotel, some of Turkey’s most vibrant cities - Alanya, Manavgat and Avsallar - fall within a 35km radius. Walk in the footsteps of Egyptian monarchy at Cleopatra’s beach in Alanya, take a hike and discover Turkey’s natural gems in the mountainous Manavgat, or explore the lovely Turkish hospitality in the small town of Avsallar – there are plenty of opportunities to make the most of your getaway! After a long day out, return to the hotel and kick back under the stars with a film showing at the outdoor cinema.

Our humour section is filled with books that contain elements of humour, from hints of smiles and smirks through to full on giggles and guffaws. Do bear in mind though, that while some of these books are pure sunshine and glee, along the way you will meet books that contain all the other emotions too. We’ve included novels from romance, crime, and even horror genres, as well as the more obvious humour tales. A writer who can make you smile and cry in the same book even the same paragraph, is to be treasured indeed. We do realise that humour can be very personal, and what makes one person roar with laughter, will only evoke a raised eyebrow in someone else. So, these are novels that we believe contain some form of humour and even if it lurks in the most unlikely of places, it will be waiting for you.

Read, Learn & Laugh!

Poppy Pym and the Pharaoh's Curse

Written by Laura Wood

Part of the Poppy Pym Series

Crime / Mystery Debuts of the Month Family / Home Stories Featured Books for 11+ readers Featured Books for 9+ readers Recommended Children's eBooks School Stories

LoveReading View on Poppy Pym and the Pharaoh's Curse

September 2015 Debut of the Month - Winner of the Scholastic Montegrappa Prize for New Children's Writing

Laura Wood’s debut combines favourite genres: it’s a boarding school story, a mystery - with a touch of the supernatural, and a circus story. Poppy Pym was left at Madame Pym’s Spectacular Touring Circus as a baby and brought up by the circus folk. Now she’s twelve and Madame Pym decides she must go to school.  Poppy is enrolled at Saint Smithen’s, a boarding school with all the proper characteristics. She soon makes friends with brainy Imogen and short but sparky Kip, and the three make a great team when – for entirely plausible reasons of plot – the famous Ruby Scarab of Ankhenamum is put on display at the school, apparently bringing a curse with it! Poppy is a very appealing heroine, the school setting is spot on, while her eccentric circus family add to the fun. A lively, satisfying adventure and hopefully the first of a series.

Andrea Reece

Poppy Pym and the Pharaoh's Curse Synopsis

Poppy Pym has grown up in the circus, eating candy floss for breakfast and learning about lion taming ...until her circus family decides she needs a more traditional education, and they send her to boarding school. At first, Poppy has trouble fitting in at St Smithen's, a school that is very different from the circus. But when an ancient Egyptian ruby comes to the school and dangerous accidents start occurring, it's up to Poppy to save her new home and solve the mystery of the Pharaoh's curse!

You Can Do Nothing Apart from Him

How it should tease us to think that a branch in a tree tries hard to remain where it is and tries all the more harder to bear fruit! Indeed, no branch does anything like that. It simply remains where it is. That is, it remains connected. In that connection it finds its link with life, nourishment and growth. As a result it naturally bears fruit.

So also with your Christian life. Jesus said, “Apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5b NIV). So the secret is not struggling to produce fruit. Instead your focus should be to remain in Him. How do you do that? Jesus gave us that secret too. It is by allowing the Word of God to dwell in you, to take control of your thoughts and attitudes. When you spent time, much time, with God’s Word each day, you learn the secret of remaining in Jesus just like a branch remains in the vine.

On the other hand it is foolish to try to do things for God without learning the secret of remaining in Him. That is why Jesus said that anyone who does not remain in Him is like a branch thrown away, and once it withers is picked up and thrown into the fire. See, the interesting part is that a thrown-out branch will look green for some more time. But slowly it withers because it has no connection with the vine.

So let us humble ourselves before God and examine our lives. Have we tried to do things for God our own way? If so, let us realize our mistake. And acknowledge that we can do nothing without God. What God is asking of us is that we remain in Him, that is stay connected. Again, that is not what you do only once in a while. Instead, it is something constant. For example, think about a branch taking a walk and then coming back to join the vine! You might have laughed now at the foolishness of that thought.

Yet sometimes that is what we do; isn’t it? We think that we can get connected to God on Sunday mornings and then do our own things during the week. And then come back and join God the next Sunday morning. Such a branch withers. But if you’re serious about bearing fruit for God, the only way to do it is to stay connected at all times. And as you allow God’s Word–the Bible–to saturate your mind and thoughts, all that you do will bring Glory to God. Such fruit will last.

Let us remember Jesus’ words, “No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me” (John 15:4b NIV).

I grew up back in the good-ol'-days, in Pittsville, Wisconsin. My dad was a logger and a professional fur trapper. My mother was a nurse. Mom is an angel, and we still talk every day. But my dad and I had a kinda difficult relationship when I was growing up. One thing we bonded over, though, was fur trapping.

Photos by Megan Monday

Buck Parker | Arpin, WI

“My dad and I would get up at four in the morning to trap, and if we had a good day, we wouldn’t get done skinning until midnight. A lot of times, Dad said that after a long day of trappin’ he’d get about halfway to the truck but then he’d have to find me and carry me out, ‘cause I’d already be asleep somewhere.

We did a lot of beaver trapping. I’d put on my old snowsuit, and we’d go out for the day, catching 15 beavers or so at a time. We’d go to the ponds and set the traps along the bank. To get all the piss-and-vinegar out of us kids, he’d have us pull all the beavers up. We’d drag ‘em out into the snow, clean them up, and make their coats really shine. Beavers brought big money back in those days.

My dad taught me trapping—just like his dad taught him—so when I grew up, I’d have a way to make a living off the land.

I grew up in the time of the Vietnam War. I volunteered every time they were looking for people to go, ‘cause I figured maybe they’d think I was off my rocker and not take me if I volunteered enough! But, I was born on February 20th, and my lottery number was 20. So I went into the service in August of ’70, when I was 20 years old.

When I got to Vietnam, they needed a radioman, and so I volunteered for that too. My buddy said, ‘That was the worst thing you could have done. Who do you think they shoot first? The commanding officer and the radio man!’

I was new in Vietnam, only there about a month. The jungle was so thick, we’d go a hundred meters a day, set up camp, and then we’d always have to go back to our old base camps to get water. One night, they sent the squad back. Meanwhile, I’m carrying a radio up to the commanding officer’s headquarters.

Suddenly I hear machine-gun fire: rat-a-tat-tat-tat. My sergeant was down a ways, writing a letter to his wife, sitting on the ammo can. They shot ‘im. They shot ‘im right through.

I turned to try and see where the fire was coming from, and then—rat-a-tat-tat-tat—I was done. They shot the radio. Then they shot me. My buddy was right.

I admit it; I panicked. I was supposed to be getting another radio, but all I could think of was my natural instinct: go get the M-16! I was shot in the lower half—couldn’t walk or run. So I go crawling down the hillside, dragging myself with my arms. I had been shot from my knee to my hip; it was a miracle they didn’t hit the big artery.

When things quieted down a bit, I yelled for the medic. It was his first firefight, so he’s shaking like a leaf—sticks me with morphine, but busts the needle off in my arm and has to give me another one. Then the firing started up again. I’m laying on my back and just spraying bullets with the M-16; the jungle’s too thick to see. The medic told me to stop and be still, but I said, ‘If I stay still, we’re dead.’

The medic knocked the gun out of my hand, and then everything just kinda stopped.

I was transferred from the 91st to Da Nang, and then to Camp Zama in Japan, and finally back to the States. I came back home in a full body cast.

I got shot September 9, 1971. I didn’t get out of the hospital until April 25, 1972.

My physical recovery was a long road. I was in seven or eight hospitals in several different countries, for over seven months. I was in traction for most of it. Finally, I recovered enough to get out of the hospital, and I was discharged from my military service.”

Become part of the Love Wisconsin

I came back home to Wisconsin, where my dad offered me a job piling pulpwood. My dad was always hard on me, but this time I think he knew that his approach was good. I said, ‘Dad, you know I can hardly bend my knee. I can’t bend over.’ He just said, ‘You can try it.’ It was hard work; everything in my body was outta whack. I fell down a lot. But you know, it was kind of like physical therapy for me. I slowly began to recover.

I went on to do many things in my life: I was a logger, a trapper. I got married, had kids, even lived through a couple rounds of cancer. But my experiences in Vietnam always had a huge impact on me. It left me with some PTSD.

I went on meds for it from the VA, but they left me feeling like a vegetable in la-la-land. I quit taking those meds.

My therapist said the best treatment was to get outside in my orchard. I live on a lot of land and had been growing apples for years. I took their advice, and being outside a lot more did do me good.

I was down at Tomah VA one day after I had retired, thinking about that outdoors therapy, and I said to one of the nurses, ‘Would you be interested in bringing some vets out to fish in my pond?’ She was in recreational therapy, and said, ‘Boy, that’d be a good idea to get them out.’

So she helped me arrange things, and vets started to come out here to my property to do some fishing. Some of my visitors are full-time residents of the VA—their PTSD or other disabilities are too bad for them to leave—and some are there for maybe a couple months for rehabilitation.

We had one guy here in a wheelchair. He was fishin’ on one of the lakes. He cast a line in; his wheels were locked. He got a nice fish on the line, but I don’t know if he tried to stand up or what—he tipped the wheelchair right over, straight into the water!

Some nurses ran over to help him up, and they got his wheelchair upright. He comes back out of the water and—you’d have to see it to believe it—he had his fishing pole in his hand, still winding! It was unreal.

We had another guy, Chuck, who couldn’t talk but had a machine that put words up on a screen. I asked him if he’d ever caught a walleye, and he said no. I usually don’t use live bait because the fish can choke on them, but I got a minnow for Chuck. He’s right by the dock, and he got one on his line. All of a sudden, he catches his walleye, and he’s crying. It’s worth a million.

It’s therapy for them and for me. I’m thankful that I get to hang out with the vets and go fishin.’ Someone’s watching over me, I’ll tell you that.”

The Superintendent may, after request by the naming committee, consider other categories for naming. The Superintendent shall name a mascot for each new elementary school. Mascots shall be culturally and racially sensitive and appropriate and comply with the district’s Human Dignity (4010) and Non-discrimination (5010) policies

    The Superintendent shall name each new secondary school according to:

    1. The neighborhood or district in which it is located or
    2. By selecting the name of a living or deceased person that has made a significant cultural or humanitarian contribution; or,
    3. A place related to the local area or Pacific Northwest history.

    The Superintendent, after request by the naming committee, may consider other categories for naming. The Superintendent shall name a mascot for each secondary school. Mascots shall be culturally and racially sensitive and appropriate.

    In keeping with the district's policy of inclusion and recognition of diversity, at least one out of every three new elementary schools constructed in the Lake Washington School District shall be named to reflect diverse populations.

    Renaming Facilities or Mascots

    Existing facilities shall only be renamed at the direction of the Superintendent. The Superintendent may initiate a procedure to rename an existing facility due to programmatic changes or other reasons deemed appropriate by the Superintendent.

    Should the Superintendent determine that a facility name or mascot does not meet the requirements of this policy; he/she may immediately remove the name or mascot and require the school to go through the selection process in order to adopt a new school name or mascot.

    Imagery, symbols, and costumes used in conjunction with a school's mascot may be modified at any time at the discretion of the school principal.

    Naming a Portion of a School, Site or Facility

    No portion of any building or site shall be named differently than the name of the school unless such naming is initiated by the Superintendent. Any such names need to recognize that the names of public structures are expected to be in place for significant periods of time and should be reflective of the long-term use of the school or other facility. Therefore, any name selected needs to be meaningful to future generations of students and community users. Names with geographical historical reference would be appropriately considered. If a name of a person, living or deceased, is proposed because of a significant past or recent direct contribution to the school or portion of the facility to be named, such person’s direct connection with the district must have been discontinued for at least five years before the person’s name would be considered for Superintendent approval.

    Other Memorials/Dedications

    Any site or facility improvement in memorial or as a dedication of outstanding service shall be in accordance with the following guidelines:

    • The dedication is for the purpose of a memorial of a deceased student or staff member of the school or in recognition of outstanding service of a retired staff member or former board member.
    • The dedication and any associated signage, statuary, landscaping, etc. has received the approval of the building principal and Director of Elementary or Secondary Education with director oversight of the school.
    • The costs of any signage, statuary, landscaping, or other facility or site improvements shall be borne by those seeking the dedication and shall not be paid for from school district funds. Any improvements to facilities or grounds shall require approval by the district facility staff and shall not incur any ongoing costs or create any additional liability for the district.
    • The dedication shall not be used to “name” facilities and shall not be used for identification of location or directions.

    Dedications or portions of district facilities shall be considered to be active for a period not to exceed ten years. Future facility improvements will not be planned to retain the dedication/memorial. Replacement of any such dedication/memorial that is worn or is past its useful life, will be left up to the principal. Such replacement shall not be done at the expense of the district.

Celebrating with Tina Donahue!

Posted Jul 15 2014, 12:01 am

 I’m super excited to welcome Tina back to my blog. She’s celebrating another new release, This Time When We Touch – how about that cover?

td-ttwwtouch_Tina Donahue

It’s an erotic paranormal (reincarnation) romance and Tina’s first with Siren Publishing. The official release day is July 17, BUT you can get a preorder discount of 10% if you buy it by midnight (CST) on July 24th. Tina’s also doing another great giveaway – details at the bottom of her post

Fate has cruelly torn them apart through the centuries…

Endless desire and unparalleled love will bring them together a final time.

Through numerous reincarnations, Jade Jacome has adored one man. His love for her has repeatedly led to her murder, always on the same day and time. Jade’s scientific research proves this is their final rebirth, her last chance to outwit destiny and fulfill their passion. Against a backdrop of Brazil’s lushly decadent Carnaval, Jade has forty-eight hours to meet and tempt her lover, now known as Patrick Kane, then break fate’s deadly pattern.

Irresistibly drawn to Rio, Patrick senses Jade’s yearning that matches his. Seeing her again, time stops. Though they’ve never met in this life, he feels their connection, and that she’s in danger because of him. Baffled and unsettled, Patrick resists his attraction to Jade to keep her safe.

In a contest of wills and shameless seduction, Jade must gamble all, even her life, before the anniversary of their first separation or risk losing Patrick forever.

His dream happened without warning. A voice in it murmured, Prisa. Hurry. Tenemos tiempo tan poco. We have so little time.

In his dream, a pulse beat crazily on the side of his throat. He worked his tongue around his mouth, which was uncomfortably dry and sour, no doubt from the booze he’d drunk. Glancing around for a glass of water, Patrick realized he was in the hotel’s frontal rooms, his naked feet clammy against the highly polished floor.

No guests milled about, leaving the area strangely deserted. A haunting tune came from the piano, something ancient with a Spanish lilt, though no one sat on the bench and played.

He looked down. A whisper of air, akin to a lover’s sigh, ruffled the hairs on his arms and the back of his neck. He pushed his fingers over his skin then through his hair, while he searched.

For what?

Sensing someone watching, he looked over. The music grew louder, frantic, resembling animal squeals. A sudden wind rustled the tropical plants, their swishing leaves seeming to hiss hurry.

He couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe. Beneath the arched walkway, he saw her.

She stood in the light that poured from the crystal chandelier, not moving or speaking, her face unnaturally shadowed masking her features. Even so, he imagined her eyes widened in wonder and renewed hope. The kind a wife shows her husband when he returns home alive from an endless, vicious war.

Chestnut hair, thick and shiny, fell in gentle waves to her narrow waist. Every inch of her caramel-colored skin was exposed. Her areolas puckered beneath his hungry scrutiny, making the tips seem even longer and harder, intensifying the soft swell of her breasts. Her hips flared gently above her lush thighs. Dark curls covered her mound.

Dazed with desire, he knew without question that her hidden folds were thick and wet, ready for his cock.

She inhaled deeply, her rounded belly quivering in response. Three moles circled her navel. He recalled tonguing those precious spots, the salty taste of her skin, its velvety smoothness.

His inertia broke. He ran toward her only to stop as she drifted back, the shadows lifting from the bottom of her face. Her mouth formed a startled O. Arms outstretched, she clawed the air trying to reach him.

We have so little time, her voice whispered in his mind.

His heart twisted in panic. He bolted toward her, his naked toes gripping the slippery floor, his neck knotting as he strained to reach her hand.

“Prisa!” she cried in Castilian. An invisible force moved her away from him through the halls of the hotel and up the stairs.

On the third floor landing, he caught her wrist, shocked at its iciness. Her skin was so cold it stung, as though it belonged to a corpse.

Frantically, he wrapped his arms around her, warming her with his body, hands, mouth. She shivered in his embrace. He buried his fingers in her silken hair and tasted tears on her cheek. Brackish. Frightened. Defeated.

“Never leave me,” she cried, rubbing her cheek against his, her smooth skin a stark contrast to his stubble. Pressing her mouth to his ear, she hushed warm air, proving she was alive. She begged, “Promise me you’ll never go.”

He’d die first.

Preschool is cool!

In the beginning of August 2015, I began working at a preschool that I went to when I was little. I only worked till the end of October in 2015, and I totally fell in love. I took the winter season off and sent the students post cards from every country I was in. I then came back in the Spring of 2016 and started to take college classes to become a certified Early Childhood Education teacher. I worked all spring, summer and fall with the most amazing staff and children you will ever meet in your life. Teaching is such an amazing skill and I have even learned so much from my fellow co-workers and learned from the students. I am surrounded by giggly, happy children that light up your day when they come through the door. I also made a lot of friendships with the families and such special bonds with the children. I love seeing the kids progress and develop through a short amount of time. They truly become your best friends and I miss them so much! I love preschool!!! See you all soon!

10 Cities Where Women Outearn Their Partners

Editorial Note: The content of this article is based on the author’s opinions and recommendations alone. It may not have been previewed, commissioned or otherwise endorsed by any of our network partners.

Written By

Updated on Wednesday, January 9, 2019

women working at an office

Despite the growing prevalence of women in the workforce, the median earnings of women over the age of 25 was $32,679 in 2017, with men’s median earnings for that same age group at $46,152, per U.S. Census Bureau data, who estimated that women only earn nearly 71% of their male counterparts.

The reasons for this discrepancy are stridently debated, with theories ranging from personal preferences to mismatched family responsibilities, cultural pressure, institutional compensation or advancement bias. Whatever combination of factors are keeping women’s pay low, the fact remains that female workers make less than their male counterparts — both at work and at home.

Our new analysis takes a closer look at pay differences between men and women to see how it affects couples. To find out whether some places are more likely to have a balance between male and female breadwinners, we analyzed microdata from the American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census for the 50 largest metros in the country.

In an ideal world, men and women would be equally likely to be the breadwinner of a couple. But our analysis found that in the 50 largest metros, women were the main breadwinner in less than 31% of couples’ households.

Key takeaways

  • Women are far less likely to be the breadwinners in a couple, our study found. Even in the cities with the highest rates of female breadwinners, women outearned their partners in just one out of three coupled households.
  • Hartford, Conn., takes the No. 1 spot. In 31.1% of this city’s coupled households, a woman was the partner who earned more. Minneapolis and Columbus, Ohio, follow in second and third place, with female breadwinner rates of 31.2% and 30.7%, respectively.
  • Only 22.6% of couples in Salt Lake City have female breadwinners, earning it the last place spot (50th) on our list. Following at 49th and 48th place are Houston and Riverside, Calif., with female breadwinner rates of 23.5% and 23.9%, respectively.

Top 10 cities where more women outearn their partners

In the 10 major U.S. cities with the highest rates of couples with female breadwinners, roughly three in 10 couples have a woman earning more than her partner.

This is a contrast to other surveys that have found higher rates of female breadwinners, such as 49% of women who said they were the primary breadwinner in an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll. The difference in these findings could be attributed to single women or single mothers who are the household’s sole income earners. Women may be more likely to be breadwinners in these surveys that include those who report they’re not competing with a partner for that title.

When they are paired up, however, our analysis shows that women are less likely to be the higher earner. Here’s a closer look at the 10 major U.S. cities that had the highest rates of female breadwinners.

1. Hartford, Conn.

Women who are partnered up are the most likely to be the breadwinner if they live in Hartford. Here, 31.3% of coupled women outearn their partner. This could be thanks to the higher parity of pay in this city, where the gap between men and women’s earnings shrinks to just 17.8%.

2. Minneapolis

Next is Minneapolis, which has almost the same rate of female breadwinners, with 31.2% of coupled women earning more than their partners.

Minneapolis also took the No. 2 spot in our ranking of the best cities for working women. Its high ranking is due to a number of factors, but it’s a true standout for low unemployment among women and decent workplace protections for pregnant women and mothers.

3. Columbus, Ohio

In Columbus, 30.7% of partnered women are the breadwinners. Overall, women here make about $0.19 less per dollar than their male counterparts, well in line with the average among all 50 cities included in this analysis.

4. Providence, R.I.

Providence, R.I. has a female breadwinning rate of 30.5%. This is no surprise, given that it was the eighth-best city for working women in our 2018 study.

While the gender pay gap is above average here, at 19.9%, Providence has above-average rates of women in management positions along with better policies for maternity and parental leave.

5. Baltimore

Among women in Baltimore who are part of a couple, 30.2% outearn their partners. Here, women earn just 18.8% less than men, giving them a better chance of landing pay that beats their significant other’s salary.

6. Sacramento, Calif.

The third-best city for working women, Sacramento, also has one of the highest rates of female breadwinners: 30.0%.

It offers a lower pay gap between genders, with women earning just 14.6% less than men. Sacramento also gets a boost from California’s robust policies and benefits for pregnancy, maternity and family leave.

7. Boston

Boston is the next city with the highest rate of coupled households for which women are the breadwinners, at 29.6%. The gender pay gap here is 18.9%, which is just below average.

8. San Francisco

Next is another top city for working women, San Francisco. Here, the gap in median pay by gender is 18.7% and women outearn their partners 29.5% percent of the time. As another Californian city, women workers in San Francisco are also likely to benefit from strong parental and family work policies.

9. Memphis, Tenn.

In Memphis, women are the breadwinners in 29.4% of couples’ households — that’s despite its ranking as the second-worst city for women. It has just a few redeeming factors, however, such as the above-average number of female managers and the below-average childcare costs in Memphis.

10. Richmond, Va.

Couples in Richmond are among those most likely to be led by a female breadwinner, with 29.2% of women out-earning their partners. Women here earn $0.19 less for every $1 male workers earn, only slightly above the average. Still, working women in Richmond are more likely to receive employer-provided health care and more affordable child care costs, which can offset this pay gap.

10 cities where women aren’t breadwinners

Along with the 10 cities that had the highest rates of women out-earning their partners, we also found the 10 major U.S. cities where women were the least likely to be breadwinners. In these cities, around a quarter (or fewer) of women with partners bring home higher pay than their significant other.

Most of these cities were also among the worst places for women to work, including Detroit and Oklahoma City. Still, low rates of female breadwinners isn’t always a sign of a city that disadvantages women, as three of these cities were among the 15 best places for working women: Austin, Texas; Phoenix; and Virginia Beach, Va.

How the gender pay gap affects shared finances

Overall, this study is another sign of how women are often behind when it comes to pay. The gender pay gap is a big contributor to the low rate of female breadwinners, but it affects more than just women.

When a woman is paid less, this impacts her partner too. The entire household comes up short, setting back financial goals such as paying down debt, building security and savings, and managing money day-to-day.

Some women will also feel the pain of the wage gap more than others, too. Same-sex couples comprised of two female earners, for example, will be doubly hit by the setbacks of the gender pay gap. Women who are the sole breadwinners might also find that they’re having to support their family on less pay than many men in the same position. And for women who earn less than their partner, a separation or divorce can be particularly problematic for their finances.

Many of these factors are outside of U.S. women’s immediate control — but that makes it all the more important to focus on improving their finances where they can.

Here are some ways women can work to close, offset, or compensate for the gender pay gap.

Work on increasing your income. The top cities are proof that the gender pay gap doesn’t have to be universal, and many women are finding ways to close or even overcome it. Take a look at your current pay and do some research through sites such as PayScale or Glassdoor to figure out if it’s fair. If it’s not, it might be time to ask to be paid what you’re worth, either with your current employer or a new one.

You can also look out for career training and opportunities that could act as stepping stones to higher-paying positions. You can even create your own opportunities to boost your income and grow your skills with a side hustle.

Share costs fairly. There are a lot of ways for couples to manage their money together, so look into different methods and decide together on one that’s equitable. If your partner earns twice as much as you, for example, does it really make sense to split expenses 50-50? Discuss how you can work with differences in pay to ensure that both assets and expenses are equally and fairly shared.

Make savings a priority. Women in a couple must save for their own future, regardless of what they earn. It can be wise to have your own checking or savings accounts that are held in your name alone, where you can build financial security independent of your partner. It’s also wise to set up your own retirement accounts and contribute to those regularly, as well.

Manage debt wisely. Debt can be a huge source of stress for couples. On top of that, debt accrued in marriage can be considered jointly shared, making you equally responsible for its repayment even if your spouse took it out. So it’s smart to practice good budgeting habits, live within your means and avoid getting into debt. Even if you’re not married, your or your partner’s debt will still affect shared money goals and lower the debtor’s ability to contribute as equally. Work on paying debt off faster, and look into ways to lower costs such as credit card consolidation.

While women with a partner are still less likely to be the breadwinners than partnered men, it doesn’t have to hold back their finances. Choose a significant other who values and equal partnership and practices sound financial management. Aim for higher-paying positions at work to try to close the gender gap. Then improve your own money skills and knowledge so you can make the most of your income.

Analysts used the U.S. Census’ American Community Survey 2017 microdata hosted on IPUMS to determine the percentage of coupled households with a female partner, where a female partner had the higher income. The analysis was limited to the 50 largest metropolitan statistical areas in the U.S.

10 Things to Teach Your Puppy-Housetraining

Whatever you do, this one is a must!

Teaching your puppy to do it’s business in a designated area is an absolute must, planning makes it easy!

This process can be simple if you take the time to set up a puppy area before bringing your new puppy home.  Find a place in your home where you can set up a dog crate and an x-pen. Our recommendations can be found under Puppy Supplies or on Amazon.  The idea is to have a space large enough for you puppy to move around and play but also be contained.    The next step of the plan is to set up an actual schedule of feeding your puppy and taking your puppy outside to eliminate.   Find a place that has easy access for you and that you want your puppy to use as he grows!   So it’s time to take him outside, put a few treats in your pocket and pick your puppy up to carry him to his spot.   Give him time to sniff around and as soon as he squats to go get your treat ready!  Once he is done, “Good Puppy, Pee Pee Outside” and give him his treat!  Pick your puppy up and bring him back inside.  This is not really his time to play outside, but to do his business.

Hale’s California Dreaming aka Rhett from Magnolia Australian Labradoodles!!

Here at Magnolia Australian Labradoodles we start this process for you when your puppy is just 5 weeks old!  We also send Dr. Ian Dunbar’s potty training pamphlet home with every puppy!

Arizona men's basketball self-imposes 1-year postseason ban

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona men's basketball program has self-imposed a one-year postseason ban related to its long-running NCAA rules infractions case. Arizona was accused of nine counts of misconduct, including five Level I violations, in a Notice of Allegations sent by the NCAA in October. The violations include a lack of institutional control and failure to monitor by the university, and lack of head coach control by basketball coach Sean Miller.

The school announced the one-year ban Tuesday. “The decision is an acknowledgement that the NCAA’s investigation revealed that certain former members of the (men's basketball) staff displayed serious lapses in judgment and a departure from the university’s expectation of honest and ethical behavior,” the school said in a statement. “It is also in accord with the penalty guidelines of the NCAA for the type of violations involved.”

Arizona is off to a 7-1 start this season, including a 1-1 mark in the Pac-12, but won't have the opportunity to play in the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats have a revamped roster after freshmen stars Josh Green, Zeke Nnaji and Nico Mannion were all selected in the NBA draft.

The postseason ban includes the Pac-12 tournament. Arizona's season will end against rival Arizona State on March 6. “I understand and fully support the university’s decision to self-impose a one-year postseason ban on our men’s basketball program,” Miller said in a statement. “Our team will remain united and aggressively compete to win a Pac-12 championship.”

Arizona had been in the NCAA’s crosshairs since 2017, when assistant coach Emanuel Richardson was among 10 people arrested as part of a federal corruption investigation into college basketball. Richardson was fired by the university and later pleaded guilty to accepting $20,000 in bribes from aspiring business manager Christian Dawkins. He was sentenced to three months in prison in 2019.

Miller sat out a game in 2018 after ESPN reported that he was heard on an FBI wiretap discussing a $100,000 payment to future No. 1 overall NBA pick Deandre Ayton. Miller vehemently denied the report and university President Robert C. Robbins announced a few days later that Miller would remain the Wildcats’ coach.

Arizona was one of several schools involved in the federal probe, including Oklahoma State, Kansas and Louisville. Auburn also self-imposed a postseason ban in November.
