Overweight is unfortunately a very common problem nowadays. Not all people can afford active lifestyle – and because of that, researchers have to find new diets and medications on a constant basis. As with any popular product on the market, people sell weight loss treatment methods with no clinical evidence of their effectiveness. This is definitely not the case with HCG protocol, which is one of the most effective ways to change the way of how your body responds to excessive amount of fat.
However, even though the method itself has proved to be great (HCG has a half-century track record of its successful effect of weight loss), some counterfeits often appear on the market. You will need to understand what real HCG drops are and where to find them, and our website will help you.
HCG drops – how to choose?
How to use HCG drops?
What makes HCG diet so effective?
Our bodies have learned to store fat as an energy source for centuries. This was relevant long time ago, but not now, when people can afford quality, healthy food. HCG drops can help by 'telling' your organism to actually convert extra fat into energy and not store it. The hormone affects our brain (more specifically, hypothalamus) and makes it boost the metabolism. So, to put it simple, the intake of calories is about 500-700 per day, and drops target the fat you already have stored in your body. This is why HCG is so effective even after you stop taking it – your body knows already how to deal with excess fat.
HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone produced during pregnancy. Luckily, it can be synthetized in lab. What is even more important, unlike many other supplements, HCG drops are effective for both men and women.
Follow a diet when taking HCG – this will increase drops' effectiveness dramatically.
First of all, congratulations on taking this very first step! You may think that your journey is only starting, and it's true, but you have already done a great job by choosing the best method to cut excess weight. Unfortunately, too many people never end up taking a real action, but constantly read reviews, researches, etc. So, part of your journey is already behind if you decided to read further. Before taking HCG, it's important that you pick the right product. Currently there's a plethora of different HCG drops and we will do our best to guide you and help pick the right ones for you.
First thing you should know: buy only from US-based sellers and drops which are produced in the US. This way, you will be sure that solution you buy is manufactured according to FDA-approved process and meets highest quality standards.
Don't get into the trap of buying a cheaper product from shady overseas outfit. It really is cheaper compared to the drops from legit sellers, but the risk of taking unknown substance is huge. Not only there will be no HCG inside (which means it will be absolutely useless to help with your goal of losing weight), but its contents can be harmful for your health.
Secondly, you only want pharmaceutical-grade HCG. It's the purest kind of HCG.
However, you have to be careful – first, you need to make sure you buy non-homeopathic HCG – it's not effective due to low concentration of active factor, and sometimes can be even harmful. Homeopathic HCG (banned by FDA) is advertised as effective, but that is not how it is in reality. Many studies have shown no real presence of HCG in these products. In fact, the effect of these drops is same as placebo, which, according to recent researches, is only ¼ of what people using taking real HCG can reach. What is even worse, after taking these homeopathic drops, that little amount of weight that was lost due to placebo effect, will come back very soon.
When it comes to real non-homeopathic HCG, you basically have two options – drops or injections. It's a common stereotype that the latter are more effective. However, that is not true – drops (assuming they are real hCG drops) and injections are the same when comparing their effectiveness. This is determined by the way the drops are applied – placing them under tongue for half-a-minute makes them absorb very fast through the soft tissue directly to the bloodstream. In addition to that, products like HCG Complex provide the same amount of actual hormone as injections.
Drops are the most convenient way to take HCG, because to make injections you will need to visit a doctor (not all people can do vein shots) – this option is also more expensive. Not only the product itself costs more, you will need to spend extra on the clinical treatment. Another thing – for best effect, drops are applied 3 times a day, which makes injections not very user-friendly in comparison. Make sure to read our detailed review of both pros and cons of each of these options.
You can find the drops in registered pharmacies, retail stores, or online. The last option is the most convenient since you have all the information at you fingertips, can order a product in a few clicks, and all your questions answered on manufacturer's official website.
In 2011 FDA took down several fake HCG drops manufacturers (they were required to close their operation) and required all others who don't put HCG in their drops to state it clearly. However, some companies still put what they call homeopathic HCG in the product. This is why you need to research carefully what you will be taking. Products reviewed on this site have proved to be effective for many people who took them or continue to take.
Usually, drops are available for purchase online. At least some of the best you can purchase online only. Below you can find a detailed comparison table of the best HCG drops available on the market today.
Also, when purchasing, pay attention to return policies the seller offers. Reputable and legit companies have these policies in place since they're sure in the quality of product they offer. HCG drops we review on this site are real and their manufacturers are checked by thousands of happy buyers.
Place the drops under your tongue for 1-2 minutes for maximum absorption, swallow what is left.
Again, please read the instructions on the packaging for the product you choose.
It's a combination of HCG and diet. But, jokes apart, it's true. From one side, HCG targets only fat, not reducing your muscular tissue (unlike many other weigh loss solutions).
Please note that you should avoid exercising for the duration of your HCG diet. Find more about this in our blog post.
From the other side, without proper diet HCG is not that effective. This is basically a low-calorie diet (you need to make sure you don't exceed 500-700 calories a day). You may ask if it's safe to take only this amount (it's a known fact that a healthy person needs 2,000 calories per day). However, the drops will burn additional 1,500 calories from fat you have already. There are people who increase the calorie limit to 1,000 or even 1,200 calories per day and still loose weight with the help of HCG, but their success rates are much lower, so we recommend to stick with lower numbers.
The diet is also relatively easy to follow – you will need a good range of proteins and good amount of fruits and vegetables. The good news is that you will notice positive results almost immediately after taking HCG – your feel better by losing excess weight and your motivation will grow. As a result, same diet will be much easier to follow when you lose weight on a daily basis.
The diet consists of 3 stages and will take around 6 weeks to accomplish. Anyway, you will see real results starting from week 2 and 3. You can read more about the diet here. A general recommendation is to take the drops 30 minutes before eating (3 times per day) and when you're hungry. Up to 6 intakes per day are optimal. By the way, feeling hungry means that your body burns more fat. HCG will reduce the hunger feeling as much as possible, but you can still experience it.
So, combined with diet, HCG drops allow to cut 4x times more fat when compared to cases, where the same diet was applied with no HCG. In addition, HCG makes this diet much easier, since when more fat is burned, you will have more energy, so the effect adds up. But, remember, that following the diet is essential for success. HCG drops won't work well without diet and vice versa.
On average, people who take real drops containing pure hCG and follow the diet plan carefully, are losing around 20-30 pounds of excess fat. This is for a cycle of 6 weeks. After some time, and rest, you can repeat and start another cycle.
However, this depends greatly on a person, adherence to the diet, medical condition, metabolism, lifestyle, activity, etc. HCG diet has proved to be working even for people with diabetes. Below you can read some reviews from people about using HCG drops for weight loss.
Result: 13 lbs in 21 days. I have started to see dramatic changes in the middle of week 2. At the time of writing, I am still underway, but results are very promising so far.
Update after 3 weeks: Feeling much better and lost additional 9 lbs, so 22 in total, for the first run of the diet. Once done with the diet, I've started exercising again and workouts are much more effective.
The diet was a bit strict for me in the beginning, especially after 1st week "Loading days", but I got used to it, AND I don't have much experience dieting, so maybe it's just me. As a result, during the diet and taking the drops, I've lost about 24 lbs. When done I still limit myself a bit in terms of food, but nothing special, and weight doesn't seem to come back.
hCG drops was definitely not the first weight loss supplement I took, but definitely one of the best. The cost is very reasonable and diet was easy to follow. I've lost about 10 lbs in first 3 weeks, but as diet continues, I've lost another 18, which makes it 28 - not bad! I've read a lot of websites that promised more than 2 lbs per day, but this seems not true. However, I'm more than happy with my progress so far.
Real HCG drops, purchased from a legit company (and not from some shady overseas sellers), combined with right diet, is one of the most effective methods to lose body fat in a relatively short term. Usually, the diet lasts for 1 month. After this term your body already knows how to burn fat the right way, so for some time even when you don't take HCG drops you will continue to loose weight. Considering your muscles will be in the same condition like they were before the diet, and it will be easier for you to work out. This is a very affordable weight loss method and unlike many others, provides real measurable results.
Please consult with your doctor before starting the diet, along with HCG to make sure you're in the right physical condition. However, experience has shown that people succeed with HCG diet no matter what health issues they have. The only way to success with HCG diet is using real HCG drops and not homeopathic counterfeits, which pale in comparison.

Michael's brother, born with anencephaly, was a blessing – just not in the way he expected
By Newsroom | May 3, 2019 , 07:35am
Students for Life Ireland recently shared the story of Michael and his brother John Paul Jr. Michael was seven years old when he found out his mother would be having her sixth child. He had four sisters and was thrilled when he learned his mom was expecting a boy. "As the pregnancy went on, we found out that it was going to be a boy and I was buzzed!" he told Students for Life Ireland. "However, straight away they also discovered that he had a sickness called anencephaly and that meant he wouldn't live long outside the womb. When I was told this I was gutted. I really, really wanted a brother and the moment I was given one, he was going to be taken straight away."
Anencephaly is a condition in which the skull and brain don't develop properly. Babies with the condition usually live for a few hours up to a few weeks after birth. The family was heartbroken, but they did everything they could to enjoy the time they did have with baby John Paul Jr. while he was safe inside his mother's womb. They talked to him and included him in the family's activities as much as they could in order to build memories.
John Paul Jr. lived for 17 minutes after his birth and during that time he was surrounded by love.
"I got to hold my little brother," said Michael. "I can't really describe how I felt, except to say that every part of me said "….Yes! Thank you!" And even though I still feel the pain of that loss, that moment where I got to hold my only brother meant worlds to me. The fact that his life was so short made me appreciate life even more, because even though he only lived 17 minutes we were still able to give him a life full of love, and I wish it could have been longer."

Michael said his mother has shared the story of John Paul Jr. on behalf of the ProLife Campaign, and he has always been proud of her for that. However, he didn't feel as strongly about the pro-life movement as she did — not at first.
"But when I heard that in the UK 90% of babies diagnosed with down syndrome pre-natally are aborted, I got really upset," he explained. "I remember thinking to myself 'If only they knew what it's like to hold them. To know that they are my blood, my family, and that there's beauty in this person's life like I did when John Paul Jr. was born, then they wouldn't do this.'"
This became the catalyst for Michael's pro-life stance, because, as he says, "you just can't judge a life and decide this person won't live."
"No matter how short this life is, no matter how much pain it will bring you, there will be love and joy too," he said, "which even in tiny quantities completely outweighs the pain and loss."

Ascent of Capital Rock on 1996-05-10
Climber: Richard Carey
Date: Friday, May 10, 1996
Peak: Capital Rock
Location: USA-California
The name most likely comes from the shape of the peak which when viewed from the south has a large, rounded dome rock which is topped by another rock structure and resembles a capitol dome.
The mountain is located in the Hot Springs Ranger District of the Sequoia National Forest. No permits are needed for hiking to the summit. A permit is required for a campfire. The Hot Springs Ranger District office is at: Route 4, Box 458, California Hot Springs, CA. 93207 Tele.: (805) 548-6503. The office is not open weekends.
To reach the mountain from Kernville, drive north along the Kern River for 19.4 miles and turn west at the junction with the road to Sherman Pass. Drive west about 3.6 miles toward the site of Johnsondale. On your right, just as you approach Johnsondale, look for an unmarked dirt road heading steeply up a slope. With a 4WD vehicle you can drive this for about 0.1 miles to a sloping turn-around spot. Parking is very limited here and it may be best to find a spot along the highway and hike from there. UTM at the 0.1 mile point is: 362460E, 3981630N (NAD27). If you miss this road then continue on past Johnsondale to the junction with forest road 22S82 on your right and go back 1.3 miles. Start the hike NE up the old road which soon fades into a path which goes by a power line pole. Stay on the path which curves north to point 5370 ft. shown on the map SE of the peak. From here stay on the clipped path through the bush and trees which was marked by yellow and pink ribbons. The trail ascends up to the north side and then to the top. The summit has a Forest Service benchmark dated 1954. The hike is about 1.2 miles one-way with an elevation gain of 1200 ft. and takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. 5/96 RLC

Solo Per Due outside Rome is more than just the "Smallest Restaurant in the World"
1 October, 2014 | by John Henderson | No Comments
VACONE, Italy — One of my favourite parlour games with fellow travellers is this question: What's the most romantic restaurant you've ever been?
For me, this isn't close. It's right outside Rome and billed as the "Smallest Restaurant in the World." I've been there twice and I haven't even eaten there. No need. The atmosphere of Solo Per Due restaurant Vacone is like something out of a game show, where contestants see if they can keep from mauling each other before they finish their salad.
Solo Per Due Restaurant Vacone – What to Expect
Solo Per Due is Italian for "Only For Two." It gets its name from how many people it serves a night. That's right, two. That's it. They have one table. That's it. The couple hand picks their dishes made from ingredients found in the surrounding countryside. They hand pick the music. They call the tuxedoed waiter with a silver bell. The 19th century villa is lined with artwork and Roman busts. A fireplace is in the corner.
At Solo Per Due, couples hand pick their menu and music and call the tuxedoed waiter with a silver bell.
It's a place only a poet like Horace could describe which he probably has. He lived on these grounds in the 1st century B.C.
If couples get carried away after dinner and can't POSSIBLY wait until they get back to Rome, a nearby cottage is awaiting a spontaneous rental. There are other hotels nearby if you want to explore your options. You can also rent fireworks, preferably at the exact moment when you pop the question and not at the exact moment of your cottage tryst.
It's located in Vacone, a tiny ville 40 kilometres north of Rome and so small I haven't met a single Roman who's heard of it. It's nestled in the rural Sabine Hills amidst a cluster of cypress and palm trees and can easily be reached by rental car.
The Sabine Hills north of Rome are where the di Claudios gather most of their ingredients for their food.
On a free-lance assignment for the Los Angeles Times, my photographer and I strolled down its walkway lit with ground-level torches and lined with marble statues. Inside, three yellow candles and yellow flowers adorned a white tablecloth with an ice bucket and wine set. Two overstuffed red couches faced each other in front of a fireplace with a mantle covered with flowers and more candles.
Over the top? You bet. Too much? Maybe. Cupid would walk in and point an arrow at his frontal lobe. Apparently, women on first dates get so intimidated by the obligatory expectations (After all, 25 percent of the guests are Italian men.) that they run out and all the way to Rome.
The 19th century villa is on the grounds of a home once owned by the Latin poet Horace in the 1st century B.C.
But over the top is the point to the father-son ownership team, Remo and Giovanni di Claudio. They embrace the romance that is Italy like archaeologists hug the dirt of their digs around Rome. I've interviewed the owners twice and Giovanni, the son, gets so emotional talking about the Solo Per Due restaurant Vacone, I keep thinking he'll start weeping. Short and wiry with carefully coiffed short black hair and a willowy beard, the 46-year-old di Claudio looked up at the ceiling and paused when I asked him what he likes most about his job.
"There isn't a better emotion than working to give happiness to somebody," he said. "If you are a doctor, you can treat somebody. It's a great emotion for you. In this case, this emotion is not felt in the end of your job, but at the beginning."
Giovanni and Remo di Claudio started Solo Per Due in 1988
I interviewed one guest named Chris Endean, an English journalist living in Rome, about the experience and he waxed poetic for 10 minutes about the romance of the place. When I asked about the food, he paused. Frankly, he said, he couldn't remember.
"You realize during the meal that they plan the whole evening around you," Endean said. "You feel duty bound to keep eating. We had five or six courses. Then you wake up to a beautiful sunrise. Olive trees are in front of you. There's a clear blue sky. It's warm. It's a special time."
I didn't eat. I don't accept freebies from people I write about and the L.A. Times couldn't afford this place. It is 250 euros a person. But the price does include the flowers, music and one of 10 wines. Transportation from Rome is an additional 250 to 590 euros. You can request three levels of fireworks, which will add 1,900 to 3,200 euros to the tab. They can be set off the moment a marriage proposal is whispered. The cottage nearby is 180 euros per couple.
The restaurant is lined with artwork and statues of Roman emperors
Solo Per Due restaurant Vacone reminds them of what it means to be Italian, what it means to be in love. Yes, soon, it also reminds them of what it means to be broke. No matter. I've heard tourists say food around Rome is so good it's almost sexual. At Solo Per Due restaurant it is sexual. It's sensual. "Romance" starts with R-O-M for a reason. The di Claudios combined the most romantic city in the world with the most romantic restaurant in the world to create a volcano of a romantic evening.

Champions League, Man United News, Man United Tactics, Premier league news
Van Gaal MUST take blame for Man Utd´s AWFUL Champions League
Louis van Gaal was in fighting mood after Manchester United were knocked out of this season's Champions League. The Dutchman came up with the same sort of bluster and argument refuting that we have seen from him many times before, hinting that a poor decision by the referee to disallow that Lingard effort was a key incident and going on to insist that the stats backed up his claim that United had improved on his watch.
The Premier League table may back him up and we did go a little further in the Capital One Cup and I suppose that he did get us back into the Champions League for this season. But does that really excuse our early exit? And is van Gaal right to lay some blame at the feet of the officials for our defeat to Wolfsburg?
I would have to say not. For one thing, our second goal in Germany was a lucky own goal anyway and according to the rules Mata was offside, touching the ball or not. Apart from that, United made a right pig's ear of the group stage and the manager's claim that it was a tough group just will not wash.
Have a look at this graphic from a Metro report which shows the richness of the UCL clubs and separates them into those that qualified against the others.
Not only does show in stark detail how badly United performed compared to our financial strength, it shows that the three other clubs in our UCL group are among those with the lowest income and that makes the failure to qualify even more hard to fathom.
It is pretty clear where we struggled, as United managed to score just seven goals in the six games. Only one club that did not outscore us got through and that was Juventus and they only went through in second place and only conceded three times.
So come on Louis, accept the blame for a shocking campaign in Europe, realise that we cannot go on like this and do something to make the attacking side of our game better.

Home→Life→HISTORIC BUILDINGS
← EU = PLAN-A
LIED TO FOR OUR OWN GOOD! →
Let's Express Posted on May 4, 2018 by John Mallon May 4, 2018
Until recently, the tallest building in Ireland was the 18-story County Hall in my native Cork. In a country of single and two story housing, an 18 story building is a huge landmark. When it was first built in 1965, the local newspaper called it 'massive' and 'gigantic.' The world trade towers though were taller, (Ahem).
At 110 stories each, our County Hall barely came up to their ankles. Each of those New York buildings had 43,600 windows, (FFS) totaling 600,000 sq. feet of glass. They were constructed with a steel inner core and then unusually, with a further steel outer core also, both cores connected by multiple steel struts on every floor. In all, the steel used in each building weighted in at a hefty 200,000 tons and were mostly military grade. There were six acres of Marble throughout, some in huge slabs on the walls of the lobby. Each floor was one acre in size and the floors contained 5 million square feet of gypsum and 425,000 cubic yards of concrete. They estimate the total (unoccupied), weight of each structure was about 500,000 tons. A million tons between both of them. Fucking ginormous!
There is a fascinating documentary here
which takes you through the design and building of these revolutionary structures in the early seventies. That they took several years to complete and yet just hours to totally demolish is still a mystery, despite the 9/11 Commission, (or maybe because of it?)
A fully laden Boeing 767 weighs about 200 tons. A fully laden 757 is even lighter. When you compare these weights with what they hit that fateful day, and the sheer immensity and weight of those buildings, it is hard to see the little guys bringing down the big guys, but strangely, that's just what they did or so we were told. Proponents of that theory ask you to consider the speed the jets were flying at so, could they have a point? You'd have to believe that 200 tons flying at 500MPH coming into contact suddenly with an immoveable object, would cause damage, wouldn't it?
However, Newton's third law states they every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In terms of 9/11 then, what that means is that the jets hitting the buildings was the exactly the same thing as the buildings hitting the jets. In other words, imagine a hollow aluminum tube weighing 200 tons, hanging solidly still in suspended animation, being hit by a 500,000 ton steel building traveling at 500MPH. You see one is the same as the other and the outcomes should be exactly the same. But of course, when you imagine that scenario, the hollow aluminum tube is squashed to a pulp by the building's steel outer core as the structure itself flies on without even a hiccup. Even if the fuel explodes, it does so on the outside in a quickly dissipating fireball. It is the equivalent of a huge heavy steel hammer swinging down fast and slamming onto an empty beer tin on the ground. So it is this, among other things, that make the official version of the day a load of unbelievable bullshit.
As I sat on a low wall on the other side of the road from our Cork County Hall last week, that I pondered these facts. It lies on the airport flightpath and it is common to see jets glide gently over the building as they prepare to land two miles away. As a Ryanair 737 buzzed overhead, I tried to imagine what it would be like if it swooped down and hit the side of the damned thing. The County Hall does not have a steel outer core to protect it. It is all glass and concrete and no doubt one of Michael O'Leary's cowboys would easily penetrate the windows on any of the floors. But in terms of pure physics, there is no way that his 737 would enter on one side and exit on the other. It would inevitably crumple as it is hit the centre steel lift shaft no matter what speed it came in at.
Even then, I don't believe our proud County Hall would fall within an hour. There would be deaths of course and it is likely that the bill to fix the damage would far outweigh the price professional demolition experts would charge to bring it down in an orderly fashion.
But given what has already been done in the name of 9/11, (between 500,00 and one million Iraqis killed), and the many other countries destroyed as a result, I think we owe it to humanity to demand another inquiry. The destruction of those buildings has justified atrocities all around the world, committed by the US with impunity. Their latest adventure into Syria is as a result also, the so-called and never ending war of terror. But their Syrian adventure has even bigger stakes for all of us as it alone, could result in nuclear mushroom clouds suddenly springing up all around the globe and engulfing us all. And if that weren't bad enough, the decision to begin that lies with none other than Donald Trump!!!!
What if all of it was based on a big lie? Wouldn't you like to know?

Firms face ban for not passing on GST gains
Published: June 21, 201712:08 pm Updated: 12:18 pm
NEW DELHI: The government has threatened to cancel the registration of entities that do not pass on gains from GST to consumers.
The cancellation of registration is in addition to the power to levy penalty that was prescribed under the law.
The government has repeatedly threatened to invoke anti-profiteering provisions to ensure that gains of GST by way of lower taxes and input tax credit for taxes paid at all stages are passed on to consumers. At the same time, it also wants to ensure that in cases where the levy is going up, companies do not take unfair advantage.
The GST Council has approved a three-stage process with the complaints being first verified by a standing committee of officers. If the panel finds merit, it will be sent to director general of safeguards, which will investigate the case. Based on the report, Anti-Profiteering Authority will decide on the case. From the time the complaint is lodged, the entire process has to be completed in eight months, the rules finalised by the Council said.
Tax practitioners said that cancellation of registration is too harsh, given that the rules are too open-ended. A consultant said in their current form, the provisions can be misused by rivals, who can lodge a complaint against a company, which will have to answer queries.
"The current mechanism is too broad-based and difficult to implement. Can you act against an eatery in Mahabalipuram that does not pass on the gains of input tax credit. The focus should be on sectors such as automobiles, cement, steel and real estate where malpractices are more common and some have a history of pocketing the gains," said a tax consultant with a global firm.
The government has opted to play it safe with the antiprofiteering provisions as Malaysia saw a price surge in various segments after it introduced GST. Australia had successfully used the clause to ensure that consumer interest was protected.
The tax regime will get a mega launch on the night of June 30, with a special event planned in the historic central hall of Parliament.
Finance minister Arun Jaitley said President Pranab Mukherjee would be on the dais with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The PM's predecessors, Manmohan Singh and HD Deve Gowda, have also been invited for the function, which will see the implementation of GST at midnight.
Former finance ministers, state chief ministers and finance ministers, who have worked on the implementation process for years, have also been invited.
On Monday, the Centre also notified several provisions of the Integrated GST Act to move towards a July 1 launch even as the Jammu & Kashmir government is trying to push for a passage of the legislation to join other states in implementing the tax reform.

Q: Why my Bar Button item isn't getting hidden? I'm using UIBarButtonItem in my project. I've tried to hide the UIBarButtonItem in iOS 6.1, but I was unable to do the same using the following code:
barbuttonname.tintColor = [UIColor clearColor];
barbuttonname.enabled = NO;

This code hides the UIBarButtonItem in iOS 7.1, but in iOS 6.0 it shows the UIBarButtonItem. How can this issue be fixed?

A: The reason is because use of tintColor for that purpose only became available in iOS 7. in iOS 6, the buttons also typically have borders and backgrounds and each bit is handled separately. In terms of what you're actually trying to accomplish here, I think you should go about it a different way.
Instead of modifying properties on the button to hide it, simply remove it from the navigation bar or wherever you have it. For example, if it is the right button on a UINavigationBar, you would just do:
myNavigationBar.rightBarButtonItem = nil;

Then, when you want to show it again
myNavigationBar.rightBarButtonItem = myButtonItem;

Lumen is a fun and interactive weekly discipleship resource aimed at 11-14's helping to equip them to…
So initially that first problem was myself,
and it was that fear of people are not going to come.
There was a lot of concern because we were using
Christian content that we might offend somebody,
but for 20 years I've been doing this now
and not once has anybody ever said to me,
"I'm really offended, so I'm not coming back."
So I started to come on a Wednesday and a Friday
and then I noticed that they were gonna start
doing a special thing with a Christian message on a Monday
so I thought I'd turn up for that, as well.
It's just a really nice friendly group.
You get everyone chatting to each other.
The children absolutely love it,
they talk about it all the time.
They have, it's called 'Big God', to our kids
'cause of the song that we sing,
that's their group, obviously, it's called 'See and Know'
but the children know it as 'Big God' playgroup
and they love it, they look forward to it.
The toddler group is just basically
like any other toddler group.
There are toys so the children can have free play
to begin with.
Parents can get drinks,
then about halfway through the session we ring a little bell
and that is a sign that it's time to, it's God's time,
so 'See and Know', it's built round a framework
of very simple nursery rhyme type songs,
and there's four songs.
There's a bell song where you ring a bell,
the children come and sit down
with their parents, carers, grandparents,
and then there's a welcome song
where we welcome each child as an individual.
We sing to them, we shake their hand
because God welcomes us, He knows our name,
He welcomes us as individuals,
and that's what we would like to do with the children.
We welcome then as individuals.
There is then a storytime session,
then there is a Bible song, as well.
So we introduce the Bibles to the children,
we put boxes of Bibles out.
The children come and run to get the Bibles,
literally running to get hold of the Word of God,
and then is a prayer song at the end where we pray,
we thank God for we have and who He is
and how much He loves us.
And then there's always a craft, there's a craft
that links into the story that the children do
with the parents and carers,
and then they can take that home
as a witness within their own home.
There's more structure to it, which I think is quite good
so the children know what's going to happen
after each one.
Some play groups I've been to and they're literally just
playing all the time, whereas, they play for a little bit
and they know that it's singin' time and storytime,
so George enjoys the structure.
They love the singalong time and their dance time,
they absolutely adore it.
Oliver through and through, he can't wait,
when he gets up on a Monday morning, that's it,
he's so excited.
I've got so many incredible stories of how God can work
through 'just' a parents and toddler group.
The one that instantly springs to mind
was a lady called Julie who was living away from her family
but she was with a partner in our town,
and she was very lonely, she didn't know anybody in the area
and one day she just happened to be walking past
when we had our session on, and saw all the prams outside
and came in to find out what was going on.
And then she kept coming back each week,
and long story short she made a commitment to Jesus.
She went back to her partner, they got married,
they are part of the church,
she started doing the children's work,
they had another baby and that whole family's life
has been changed just because one day
she happened to walk past a parent and toddler group
and she came in and she heard how special she was
and how much God loved her.
And the God of relationship,
gave her the relationships that she needed.
If you're already running a toddler group
and you don't use Christian content because of that fear,
and that fear can stop us from doing these things,
do you know what?
Do it anyway, don't be frightened.
We're in a church building,
they're coming to a church building,
they're expecting God in one way or another.
We've had, just recently this past two weeks,
we've had one of our new mums who's come along, loved it,
"Can I have my baby baptised?"
"Yes, of course you can."
So never ever underestimate what can happen
in a parents and toddler group
because God's there before you, He's done it,
and those children matter more to Him than they do to us.

Grace Potter And The Nocturnals Biography
This Is Somewhere (Ragged Company/ Hollywood Records) marks the coming of age of the young, Vermont-based rock band Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. To say that this album makes good on the band's immense promise would be an understatement. While these assertions quite naturally invite skepticism, we respond: "just insert and press 'play'."
The album manifests incredible growth in the writing and singing of 24-year-old phenomenon Grace Potter, who has clearly found her true voice in both respects, as well as the instrumental prowess of the band: Potter on the Hammond B3, guitarist Scott Tournet, bassist Bryan Dondero and drummer Matt Burr. On this remarkable record, they make a glorious racket indeed.
The band's timeless, organic brand of American rock & roll is fully in evidence throughout This Is Somewhere. Potter's timely and eloquent songs—some of them intensely personal, others politically charged—immediately lodge themselves in the listener's head (pretty much defining the de rigueur term "sticky") and bore in deeper with each successive play.
This band has something else going for it — Potter's innate star quality. As critic Jeff Davidson wrote last September in a piece posted on TMZ.com, "…she is easily the most glamorous star to rise from the jam scene, and her million-dollar smile makes her as desirable as any pop songstress. The fact that she's amazingly talented…makes her even sexier."
Potter and the Nocturnals grew from the roots of rock & roll in what some might call the old-fashioned way; For the first two years, Potter and the band teamed up with friends to run their "Ragged Company" label from her dad's old sign shop, handling everything from CD graphics to booking the tours. In 2005 they joined forces with indie911 founder Justin Goldberg after reading his music industry book suggesting new artists should tour instead of look for record deals. The group turned down their first label offer and chose instead to sign on with booking agent Hank Sacks, now with Monterey Peninsula Artists, and began playing a countless number of music festivals and opening slots until gradually building great word of mouth. Their sound? They're a neoclassic rock & roll band possessing bona fide chops, a natural sense of dynamics and a palate containing all the useful colors, and these qualities allow them to stretch out onstage, to riveting effect. Perhaps their greatest asset is the ability to transcend genres, never content to settle into one predefined sound. GPN were once the up-and-coming darlings of the modern jazz and blues scene, receiving incessant comparisons to Norah Jones and Lucinda Williams. Yet their magnetic live shows and dedication to the road earned the band a warm welcoming from the jam-band community, leading to two nominations at the 2006 Jammy's. At the same time, This is Somewhere is a testament to the band's true roots – pure rock music. The influence of predecessors The Band, The Rolling Stones, and Little Feat is clear. Still, GPN's raw passion and uncompromising politics more directly evoke the memory of the great Neil Young & Crazy Horse, whose Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere served as one of the inspirations for the album title.
Following those two years of virtually nonstop roadwork on a national scale sharing the stages with such legends as Taj Mahal and Mavis Staples, including a bravura performance at last year's Bonnaroo Music Festival ("Touring is a big part of who we are," says Grace), the band has upped the ante considerably on the aptly titled This Is Somewhere. The sessions were conducted in a Los Angeles studio with song-centric producer Mike Daly, who has forged a booming career for himself after coming on the radar as Whiskeytown's resident multi-instrumentalist; A-list engineer Joe Chicarelli, who joined the project between his co-production of the Shins' Wincing the Night Away and setting up a Nashville studio for the White Stripes album project; and mix master Michael Brauer, whose credits span from Coldplay's Parachutes to My Morning Jacket's Acoustic Citousca.
And just like that, this surprising and deeply resonant album lifts Potter and the Nocturnals into the rarefied stratum presently occupied by Wilco and My Morning Jacket—bands that combine a reverence for rock's rich heritage with a sense of adventure and a need to express something honest and heartfelt.

PARIS (Reuters) – When Emmanuel Macron rose to power, he put the environment at the heart of his agenda. Eighteen months later, anger over those policies has stoked protests that are a huge challenge for the French president. What was once widely seen by governments as a win-win transition to cleaner energies now looks more like causing short-term costs with huge social disruption.
Rioters torched cars and buildings in central Paris on Saturday following two weeks of protests caused partly by higher fuel taxes which Macron says are needed to fight climate change. Some protesters called for him to resign.
It is a question facing leaders across the world as delegates hold talks in the Polish city of Katowice this week to try to produce a "rule book" to flesh out details of the 2015 Paris Agreement on fighting climate change.
"Clearly, countries where inequalities are the highest are the ones where these kinds of push-backs are mostly likely," Francois Gemenne, a specialist in environmental geopolitics at SciencesPo university in Paris, said of the political risks.
There have also been small-scale protests in Canada over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's plan to impose a federal carbon tax on provinces unwilling to combat climate change.
What was once widely seen by governments as a win-win transition to cleaner energies now looks more like causing short-term costs with huge social disruption, followed by possible long-run gains.
Another challenge facing leaders is over how they use the proceeds from policies intended to help the environment: Should money raised from carbon taxes be used directly to combat climate change, or to plug holes in national accounts?
"When we talk about the actions of the nation in response to the challenges of climate change, we have to say that we have done little," he said.
In Canada, addressing the question of how governments use the money raised from carbon taxes, Trudeau's government has promised to return the money collected from the provinces directly to taxpayers.
But in France most of the revenue generated will be used to tackle the national budget deficit, increasing anger at Macron, who left-wing opponents call the "president of the rich".


When a lighthouse is built to protect ships from a dangerous coastline, it is not built on some beautiful sandy beach. The beach may look beautiful, but can it stand the battering of the winds and the waves? It would be foolish.
Instead the foundations of a lighthouse are embedded into the rocks that have withstood the force of the seas for hundreds of years. The beacon of light is built on a sure and firm foundation.
Storms in life do come and they test the stability of the structures of our lives. Faith comes to us by hearing His word and by its application there is strength and solidarity.
Reading your Bible and absorbing the word is the way to cement your life with Christ so that when a challenge to your faith comes, you will stand firm. The waves may dash against the rocks, but the rocks do not move. Is your faith as sure and certain as that?
Dear Lord Jesus thank You for Your word, which are words of life. I know that Your word will never pass away for truth cannot fail. I take Your word to heart today and by Your help I will be a doer of Your word.

Short for the "Triangle below Canal," Tribeca, New York is known for more than its legendary film fest

In the 1960s and '70s, artists colonized the former industrial wasteland known as Tribeca, New York—or the triangle below Canal Street. These days, Tribeca's more affordable apartments have been replaced by six-figure lofts, occupied by the rich and famous like film star Robert De Niro, a founder of the Tribeca Film Center as well as the legendary Tribeca Film Festival. De Niro is the celebrity most closely associated with the neighborhood, but the area has much more to offer including some of the city's best restaurants, cute first-date spots, bars and stores.

Japan gave us sushi, but the country also created green-tea desserts—and for that, we are forever grateful (and our pants are slightly tighter). Matcha-flavored sweets are just a few of the many sugary offerings at this café. You'll drool over the matcha-and–red-bean swiss roll or the matcha crêpe. Éclairs, mousse and other French-style desserts are also up for grabs.
Tiny's and The Bar Upstairs
This 1810 bi-level townhouse is home to one of the most romantic dinner spots in the city. Reserve a table on the first floor, near the crackling fireplace, for you and bae before fighting over who gets to order the pumpkin risotto. Or share the dish with a side of brussels sprouts fried with Granny Smith apples and sherry-vin–candied pecans, then treat yourselves to the warm, drunken doughnut holes drizzled with whiskey caramel and brown sugar.
Brandy Library
The walls of this dimly lit bar-and-lounge are lined with bookshelves that contain bottles of brown spirits, not paperbacks. But the menu itself is a thick-bound anthology filled with more than 1,500 whiskey and cocktail varieties listed. Have a Don Draper night and order a flight, then purchase a stogie to enjoy on the back porch.

American Cut
New Yorkers pride themselves on playing it cool with celebrities; to stroll past Beyoncé and baby Blue Ivy without breaking stride is a badge of honor. So when our hometown chefs nab screen time, it's customary not to fawn. In a city brimming with kitchen rock stars, it takes a lot more than a Food Network show to attract attention. At American Cut, Iron Chef Marc Forgione isn't turning heads so much as laying down a safe bet. Unlike his other recent debut—Khe-Yo, the city's first Laotian hot spot—his brassy Tribeca steakhouse delivers more of the same to a city already pumped up with marbled meat and Barolo. A spin-off of his Atlantic City original, it's a playpen for high-rolling carnivores, suffused with wafting scents of singed fat and smoke-laced bourbon. The vast Art Deco space glimmers and glows, with shiny inlaid marble below, and brass chandeliers above. Burnished rosewood tables big enough for a poker game await hedge-funders eager to go all in on beef and booze. The menu caters to lily gilding, inviting you to top any of its wet- or dry-aged steaks with bacon ($6), foie gras ($18) or an entire Singapore-style lobster ($27). If you're keen on embellishments, you'll want the bone-in rib eye that's Katz-ified into a smoky, spice-crusted pastrami steak topped with caraway butter ($44). Simplicity also earns its keep in this temple of gluttony. Chopped tableside, Caesar salad ($14) inspired by the Tijuana original impeccably balances sharp Parm and creamy yolk. An un
Bâtard
Drew Nieporent is back—well, sort of. It's not like the revered restaurateur ever really left, operating celebrated spots like Nobu and Tribeca Grill since the '90s. But this latest venture returns to the hallowed halls of his restaurant past, the space that held his formative debut, Montrachet, until 2006, and most recently was home to his French fine-dining stunner, Corton, famously helmed by punctilious, Michelin-starred chef Paul Liebrandt. Following Liebrandt's abrupt departure from Corton for the Elm in August 2013, Drew Nieporent has changed gears, enlisting chef Markus Glocker (Gordon Ramsay at the London) to infuse a multicourse European tasting menu with touches of his native Austria: roasted beets "Linzer" with caramelized hazelnuts and red currants; baked turbot with egg yolk and salted pumpkinseeds; and a rabbit "flavors of bouillabaisse" with saffron ravioli and sauce rouille. France dominates the wine list, with a solid lineup of white varietals from the restaurant's namesake, Bâtard-Montrachet.
New York chefs, particularly of the haute French persuasion, have long held a special affinity for Japanese cooking—inspired by its zen seasonality, spare and delicate plating, and reverence for the finest ingredients from both land and sea. And like Quentin Tarantino highlighting his favorite Hong Kong directors, a few have imported chefs they admire from across the Pacific and opened restaurants for them in Gotham. In 2011, David Bouley launched his first such curatorial effort: the long-delayed Brushstroke. A collaboration with Osaka's Tsuji Culinary Institute, the restaurant brings kaiseki cuisine—the intricate, formal multicourse meals at the pinnacle of haute Japanese cooking—into a surprisingly relaxed and accessible setting. Bouley puts the remarkable cuisine of young chef Isao Yamada at the fore here, and hasn't muddied the waters by getting too hands-on with the place. The chefs, designers, and manager are all Japanese—and promisingly, for that matter, so are quite a few patrons. The space, by Tokyo design stars Super Potato, features an artful mix of the serene and playful—blond wood walls in the dining room giving way in the adjoining Noodle Bar to 25,000 paperback books stacked pages out so they resemble crisscrossing planks. Despite the clean, elegant cooking, there's great energy to the place—from its breezy service and jazz soundtrack to the furious (but silent) rush in the huge open kitchen. Yamada, brought west from Fukuoka in 2005, has spent his years in
When dapper Yiming Wang and Xian Zhang stealthily debuted Café China in 2011, it held a singularity on the spectrum of Szechuan restaurants. Neither gilded midtown warhorse, outer-borough shanty nor nouveau fusion trendsetter, the elegant spot earned a Michelin star for its boho style and fresh renditions of classic dishes. Like its older sibling, China Blue feels fashionable, but not overdressed in its 1930s decor. Wang and Zhang have switched from Café China's chili-spiked Szechuan to the much tamer flavors of Shanghai for their sophomore effort, but they've retained their trademark aesthetic. The high-ceilinged, teal-swabbed dining room is unlike the city's other exemplars of the regional cuisine (Joe's Shanghai, Shanghai Cafe Deluxe), showcasing antique lamps, worn books and old typewriters like Art Deco calling cards. Young waiters whisk delicate, crab-rich soup dumplings ($10) to tables, while smartly dressed couples sip classic cocktails from etched-glass coupes. Where Café China relies on the one-two punch of chilies and Szechuan peppercorns, China Blue offers subtler interplays among salty, smoky and sweet. Slices of cold poached chicken ($12) go on a 24-hour bender, their soft, "drunken" flesh sloshing in a heady marinade of sweet rice wine and salty broth. Firm shreds of tofu, chicken and cured Chinese ham ($18) soak up the flavors of a brackish, smoky pork stock. The delicate sweetness of Shanghainese cuisine emerges in fried slivers of Asian swamp eel ($14),

Macao Trading Co.
On paper, Jason Kosmas, co-owner of retro-speakeasy Employees Only, has little in common with David Waltuck, the co-owner and chef at the very elegant, very French Chanterelle. Then again, there's not much commonality between Portugal and China either--—save the tiny peninsula of Macao. So maybe it works out that the pair has joined forces to attempt to create a culinary legacy out of Portugal's last colonial outpost—returned to China a decade ago—with Macao Trading Co. Stylistically, there's no question as to who's in charge. Billy Gilroy, a co-owner, has fashioned one of Manhattan's more dazzling settings. The dining room feels like some exotic foreign correspondents' club, with slowly rotating ceiling fans, and a caged catwalk balcony overflowing with antique roulette wheels, trunks and other port-of-call knickknacks. Down a discreet stairway, a lounge adorned with vintage Chinese erotica hosts a few dining tables and a small bar. The cocktail menu rolls with the culinary theme, infusing the deceptively strong drinks with Asian flourishes. The "Hong Kong Cocktail" is essentially a margarita leavened by port and nutty pandan-leaf syrup, while green-tea-infused vodka and Thai basil spike the excellent "Drunken Dragon's Milk," frothy with coconut puree. The meal was less sure-handed. Fusion cuisine is about integration, but Waltuck's philosophy on Macanese food seems to be "separate but equal." Chinese and Portuguese dishes are listed in parallel on the menu. Some showcase
Terroir Tribeca
This populist wine bar, with locations in the East Village and Murray Hill features a winning mix of wines on tap, rock & roll on the speakers and a hyperactive beverage list peppered with entertaining asides. Young, energetic staffers are keen to introduce drinkers to lesser-known wine-producing regions like the Canary Islands, where volcanic soil lends a smoky minerality to the 2009 Frontn de Oro ($13 per glass). You'll find most patrons nibbling on something while they drink, and you should follow suit—try veal-and-ricotta meatballs ($17) or sage-wrapped lamb sausages ($8) from chef Marco Canora.

There's a certain ilk of New York bars that, at first glance, are decidedly ordinary—they offer nothing special in terms of drinks, decor or anything else. Somehow, though, these unassuming, often rundown spots transcend any one of a number of stereotypes and provide pub crawlers with a terrific bar experience. No place fits the bill better than TriBeCa Tavern. While the decor borders on decrepit (TriBeCa Tavern may be a contender for Manhattan's Worst Restroom), it's actually quite homey: Ample tables provide plenty of seating space, but the real prize is up front, where a cozy enclave provides patrons with a view of bustling West Broadway. The friendly bartenders are more than happy to whip up whatever drink you desire, though the reasonably priced draft beer, served by the pitcher, is really the way to go. The standard digital jukebox and surprisingly good sound system, like most things at this great little bar, sound better than you would've thought.
There's much more to running a drinks destination than a great cocktail. Which explains why this austere bar nails all of its drinks but flubs so much else. The drinks list features some inspired creations, like the Singer, combining muddled raspberries and rye, and the Sweeter Heater—a tequila cocktail with white pepper, basil and hot sauce. But only the basic bar snacks—dates wrapped in bacon, flaky spinach-cheese phyllo pockets—are solid food options. It's just as well that the rest of the grub is so hit-or-miss: The generic setting doesn't invite settling in, anyway.

The Roxy Hotel
The true test of whether a New York hotel is cool? Whether actual New Yorkers want to go there! The Roxy easily passes that test. Beyond being a place to stay in Tribeca—one that manages to be swanky but not pretentious or intimidating—it's a place to go in Tribeca. At any given time, there are honest-to-goodness New Yorkers hanging in the lobby (or at least chic tourists who pass for them). And speaking of chic: Super-stylish celebs with rock-star cred stay there, too; The fashion darlings of the 2016 Costume Institute Gala, Haim, hung their hat at The Roxy after spending all night with their bestie Taylor Swift. Upon check-in, you'll get a glass of sparkling rosé (yes, please!) and a questionnaire that asks for your choice of morning paper and pillow type. (Who knew there were multiple pillow types? And why hasn't anyone ever asked us our preference before?!? Rude.) The inside of the hotel has one of those perimeter balcony setups that's more reminiscent of a convention-center Marriott than a downtown boutique hotel, but for the most part, the Roxy does its Tribeca Grand past proud: Comfy eclectic couches dot the lounge, a pool table sits invitingly off to the side. Everything is brown and gold and white—nothing screams, everything calms. And most important, when you retire to your room and collapse into one of the most comfortable beds you've ever had the pleasure to sleep in, the windows and doors are amazingly soundproof, crucial because of the all-hours hubbub outside

Cosmopolitan Hotel
Despite the name, you won't find the pink cocktail at this well-maintained hotel in two adjacent 1850s buildings, let alone a bar in which to drink it (though there is a café). Another handy facility is a business center with two Macs that guests can use free of charge. Open continuously since the mid 19th century, the Cosmopolitan remains a tourist favorite for its address, clean rooms and reasonable rates. A wide range of configurations is available, including a suite with two queen beds and a sofa bed, ideal for families. Rooms: 126.
If there were one word to sum up the vibe at the Greenwich Hotel it would have to be "cozy." Located on Greenwich Street between N Moore and Franklin Streets in Tribeca, the Greenwich Hotel is not known for its skyline views, but that's definitely not a problem. Once inside, its dimly lit atmosphere and warm wood surroundings, far remove you from the frenetic NYC chaos right outside its door. The guest rooms are impeccably sharp, from the furnishings to the overall design: high ceilings, floors planked with thick slabs of what looks like refined barn wood, plush leather chairs, beautiful paintings and sculptures; the bedroom area was fitted with a king-size bed and fully-stocked bookshelves—the perfect getaway for the traveling reader. The hotel boasts a pool and spa on the lower level. After weaving in and out of the Tribeca cobblestone streets burning holes through your shoes, it's nice to come back and take a dip in a serene atmosphere. Upon entering the area, past the glass-encased gym, and through the locker room, meet the floor's focal point: a tranquil lantern-lit pool, surrounded by a 250-year-old wood and bamboo Japanese farmhouse that was actually imported from Japan and reconstructed for the hotel. Down in the tucked away guests-only Drawing Room bar and courtyard on the street-level—yes there's an outdoor courtyard nestled in the middle of the hotel—sip potent cocktails while listening to the crackle from the fireplace. Head over to the hotel's restaurant

In terms of great places to be in the fall in New England, Burlington, Vermont hits the spot. It also happens to be where I was born, so its basically a landmark. It is a great small city that has plenty of restaurants, bars, breweries and shops, in addition to a number of outdoor activities. The air in Vermont always feels fresher to me and Burlington is no exception. Josh and I went there recently for just one day and night in early October on the way back from Canada and had a great time.
Burlington has a number of awesome breweries, that it is known for. We started off at Foam, and then walked to the other spots. Going the direct route is around 2.2 miles. You can take a scenic route right along Lake Champlain which would be a bit longer, but on a nice day would be ideal to burn off some cals after drinking a bit. Biking would be an option as well.
Cool place, delicious beer. Long lines to order. Had a large amount of outdoor space, in the front and in the back. Out of all the places, I liked the beer at Foam the best, and Foam the best in general. The weather was decent when we were there, but slightly chilly. On a nicer day you could spend all day there straight relaxing and enjoying.
Their snack menu was so euphoric to me. I was really in the market for a cheese plate with some olives, and they had exactly that and some more. Just everything I was looking for, and really hit the spot. Big fan of Foam.
Set up like a typical bar/restaurant. Citizens cider is somewhat new on my radar but I am a fan! TBH didn't really even realize this was in Burlington, but it was on the path we were walking so we came across it. Pretty crowded as the other places were so we split a cider at the bar.
Cool spot – set up like a typical restaurant w/ farmhouse casual decor.
More of a warehouse ambiance here. The bar was in the middle of the brewery. They had more german type beers. Honestly none of them really hit the spot for me, but it was still a cool place.
Concluding the brewery tour – was a stop at Switch Back brewery. This was a little ways away from the other ones. Another great establishment.
Bonus: On the way to Switch Back was the "Biggest File Cabinet" in the world. We also made a pit stop at the Lake Champlain Chocolate Factory which was delicious as well.
Church Street is the main drag in Burlington in terms of bars, restaurants, and shopping. You can spend plenty of time here, popping into different art galleries, outdoor gear stores, and a bar or two before a 9:30 PM reservation. Nice, clean street to shop, bar hop, or generally tool around. One place we didn't get to that my sister and I have been known to frequent is a vintage store called "Old Gold"'.
Honey Road: Tapas establishment. Founded by a chef from Oleana in Cambridge. Had a great time here. We had a number of delicious Tapas. Cost was not overly expensive for what it was. One of the highlights was a homemade salted caramel ice cream bar which really was amazing.
Lodging costs in Burlington were super expensive for when we went. Every time I've looked in fall this seems to be the case. We ended up doing a private room on Air BnB to the tune of $250 a night. This was the first time I have done a private room via Air BnB. It wouldn't be my first choice (or really something I typically thought about as an option) but the prices were so ridiculous it just made more sense, and it worked out fine.
It was a nice 2 bedroom condo in a building a couple of miles from downtown, where we had one of the bedrooms. The other belonged to the lady who owned the condo. We never saw the lady we were sharing the place with. She wasn't there when we arrived. When we got back, she stayed in her room with the door closed until we left, the next morning. So for one night, it was totally fine.
Burlington is one of the prettiest little cities I've ever seen.
