The City of Coral Springs will be holding a special election for a new city commissioner and seven residents have stepped up for the plate and have qualified to run.
After Dan Daley announced his bid for State House – which he ultimately won uncontested, Seat 2 became open. Candidates had a week in March to pay qualifying fees and set up their campaign accounts for the special election on Tuesday, June 18, 2019.
We communicated with six out of the seven candidates (Serena Benjamin did not return her responses) and have published information about their backgrounds, educations and why they are running to be the next city commissioner in Coral Springs.
Shawn Cerra has been a resident of Coral Springs for over 25 years. He is a 1989 graduate of Cardinal Gibbons High School and earned a bachelor's degree in social science education from the University of South Florida in Tampa. He later went on to earn his master's degree in educational leadership from Florida Atlantic University.
Beginning his career with Broward County Public Schools as a teacher, he served as an assistant principal/intern principal at Western High followed at Cypress Bay, and then was the principal of J.P. Taravella from 2002-2016. In 2016, he was promoted to serve as director of athletics and student activities for BCPS.
Cerra said the city has been more than his wife Kerry and their three children could ask for, and because of that, it's his turn to give back.
For the past six years, Cerra has facilitated mission trips for local high school students to different locations all over the country. He said he is passionate about suicide prevention, literacy, and environmental conservation.
Cerra said if he is elected city commissioner, he will work hard each and every day to continue local efforts to improve school safety, public safety, and our economic development.
Currently, a stay-at-home mother to two children ages 8 and 9 – which are her main focus, Cipriano said her family is the main reason behind her decision to run for city commissioner.
"I want to help make Coral Springs a place where everyone is safe in school, parks and wherever they go," she said.
Cipriano said the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting the community endured on February 14, 2018, as well as the hurt and pain that every one experienced, also helped fuel her passion to run.
While working full-time, she has always maintained second and third jobs in varying positions such as sales, retail, waitressing, bartending, and data entry to remain occupied and to maximize her income.
Randal Cutter has lived in the city for 18 years and is the president and senior pastor of New Dawn Community Church in Coral Springs.
Cutter graduated from Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, Minnesota in 1983, and is a 1987 graduate of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, Wisconsin where he received a master of divinity degree. He has done further post-graduate work at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi and Orlando.
Cutter has been involved in Coral Springs since establishing a church in 1987. Over the past 32 years, he has served as co-chair of the Clergy Coalition of Coral Springs, Parkland, and Northwest Broward, as a member of the Multi-Cultural Advisory Committee's National Day of Prayer committee, as a member of the Customer Involved Government Committee, and for the past two years, he has been a member of the Coral Springs Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Cutter is running for Seat 2 because he believes that Coral Springs, as good a city as it is today, can become an even better place.
"We live in a time where people are looking for leaders who truly care about the taxpayer, rather than one who is only interested in his or her own personal interests," he said.
The experience of serving first responders as a Coral Springs volunteer police chaplain for four years has given him insight and understanding about the issues that first responders must deal with, as well as the perspective of those who are victimized by crime.
Cutter has been married to his wife Dawn for over thirty-eight years. They have three adult children, and a newly born grandson.
Due to tax time, Simpson was busy with client's tax returns during this time so we have used information we published during her first run for the seat last year.
Simpson has lived in Coral Springs for the past 30 years with her family. She moved to Florida from New York, and purchased her first and current home when she was 24. A part-time real estate investor, she manages rental properties in Ft. Lauderdale and Margate, and said that her financial acumen, broad knowledge of code enforcement and fines, makes her a formidable opponent.
Simpson has volunteered in many areas the last 30 years, including church, school and non-profit organizations. She is a past-president of the Business & Professional Women's Club, Cypress Creek Chapter. She has given talks for the Broward League of Women Voters, and is always eager to discuss budgets and fiscal responsibility. Simpson is also an artist who loves to paint.
Khurrum Wahid first lived in Coral Springs from 1999 to 2002, then moved to the New York City area while his wife completed her residency in obstetrics and gynaecology. They later moved back and have lived in the city for eight years.
Wahid grew up in Toronto and attended the University of Toronto, where he earned a bachelor's degree in political science and macro economics. He then attended Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego. He is licensed to practice law in Florida, New York, and several federal, district and appellate courts.
Currently, he is a partner at Wahid Vizcaino LLP where he has had over 100 jury trials in a wide range of federal and state matters in civil, administrative and criminal fields. Wahid has been recognized by New Times Magazine as lawyer of the year in 2007 and as one of Florida Trend Magazines Legal Elite in the area of criminal law since 2011.
"It has always been my goal to focus on the greater good and leaving the world a better place, whether through my legal work as a zealous fighter for individual rights, as a civic leader working to promote voter engagement, or as a mentor to many young people who are trying to find their path for the future," said Wahid.
His passion has been to fight to defend our country's constitution everyday as a criminal defense attorney, and he considers it a great honor to be able to protect civil rights on the front line of the justice system.
He is also a small business owner, a husband, a father, a son to his parents who also live in Coral Springs.
Camille Wallace has lived in Coral Springs for six years. She is an attorney and works with Broward County Government as an administrative officer. She holds three degrees: a bachelor of arts in political science from The Ohio State University; a law degree from Nova Southeastern University, and a master of public administration from Walden University, an online college.
Wallace said she has been interested in serving the community for some time and is always looking to help and serve in a way to make things better.
"When I was in college, I got my first real taste into being a public servant when I ran a "Get Out the Vote" campaign and worked for three Ohio State Senators," she said.
Since then, her interest has not wavered and she is still more intent today to do her part in serving Coral Springs in an impactful way.
She sits on the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee; serves as head coach for the Coral Springs Chargers Tackle Football Club; and supports Coral Glades High Cheerleaders as a Booster Board member. She is a former prosecutor, public service lawyer for 18 years, and a grant writer.

America recently swapped out a number of Democrats for Republicans with the promise to voters of decreased government spending. As a result, a number of mental health and addiction treatment facilities could face increased hardship. Their primary source of paying the rent is drying up…Medicaid funding looks to be continuing a downhill slide.
Once again, mental health and addictions facilities are faced with improving the way we do business and securing alternate revenue sources. Every time this challenge has arisen over the past couple decades we've overcome it by improving the way we do business. I'm particularly grateful about this because it's allowed me to make a living helping these folks become more efficient and effective by using the Electronic Health Record (EHR).
I tend to agree with Chuck Ingoglia, Vice President of Public Policy for the National Council for Behavioral Healthcare (NCCBH), when he forecasts that Medicaid funding in our business is likely to decrease over the next few years.
So, as Medicaid dollars shrink, the agencies need to make up for that somewhere, and as the old story goes, it's better to teach somebody how to fish than simply give them their next meal.
One way to make up for losses in funding is to sharpen up with better use of the EHR. A number of mental health and addictions treatment providers are trying to make better use of their software by encouraging use of central management of practitioner scheduling in order to make sure their workload increases. As that workload increases, collaborative documentation, writing the notes and developing treatment plans as part of a therapy session becomes more a part of daily business. Just using the EHR this way leads to shorter wait times for a consumer to see a professional for the treatment they need, and helps focus on the problems in the treatment plan rather than digressing into the crisis of the moment with no direction toward recovery.
Facilities taking care of business with creative measures like this will survive, and some of them will flourish.
Recent gains made in healthcare reform will face some losses, and popular mandates like mental health parity that assures insurance companies must pay mental health and addictions claims on par with physical health claims will likely stick around. Consumers who benefit from reform measures are more easily motivated to write their legislators and encourage them to support reform gains.
For the past couple years, a number of mental health and addiction treatment facilities have been successfully weathering business changes required by decreases in their funding. A small rehab in Wisconsin survived long enough with a grant in order to implement enough of the EHR to assure they collected payments (or at least partial payments) from self pay consumers…sometimes that's as simple as asking for a payment at the time of service. Before the EHR, they simply had no working system to do that. A mental health provider in the Midwest lost their grant funding and started reaching out to gain new self-pay and insurance consumers. They instituted sliding fees where they were warranted, and tracked accounts for this new way of doing business with their EHR. They aren't flourishing, but they're still helping people as a result of these marketing and business changes.
These are examples of a fighting spirit. These are people willing to make significant changes and a few sacrifices in order to continue helping others recover from mental health and addictions problems. Lately I've been helping a couple agencies switch from one method of funding to another, and in the process, helping them make better use of the EHR. Ten years ago, staff would have groused and fought the change. Now, I'm met with growing enthusiasm. You know you're making headway in the battle to succeed when the troops lead the way into change.


ARE JAZZ MUSIC A BIGGEST ZAPPA INFLUENCE TO COMPOSITIONS WITH DIALOGUES (FREE JAZZ AND AVANT GARDE SCHOOLS/ARCHIE SHEPP/SUN RA/ETC...)OR IT´S A SIMPLY COINCIDENCE?
Frank, I want to see your ghost walking on my corridor, and show me unreleased tunes.
Hmm.. I don't understand the exact question here but FZ was obviously influenced by jazz musicians and composers as well as classical composers, bluesmen, doo-wop etc.

I think one of the first FZ compositions that really shows his jazz influence is 'King Kong' on Uncle Meat. The Mothers play the 'head' or main melody and after that it's a free-for-all improvisation-fest, it's a typical jazz structure I guess.

Too bad none of FZ's compositions ever became real jazz standards as far as I know (at least, I've never heard them called at a jam session, unfortunately...), but a couple of them are transcribed in the original Real Book.

I read in Ben Watson's book that 'Nefertiti' by Miles Davis was one of Frank's favorite albums.
I agree with Studebaker, also "You Call That Music?" from YCDTOSA is at its core everythig freeform jazz was all about.
TO me, don´t have any doubts of any nature about the relationship between zappa and the jazz. Certainly Archie Shepp and Eric Dolphy represents a big influence to FZ, not just in a music phase, but in your musical formation as a composer or player. The free form improvisations promoved by the Mothers isn't the only way here; in all the FRANK ZAPPA musical structure is very strong the soul of blues and the sofistication of jazz, even in the ensembles constructions, the vocals elements or guitar solos.
FRANK ZAPPA never talk clearly about it, but is just hear your work.
I stand corrected. Pretty impressive analysis there, MTH, I read it while listening to GW. This is the stuff I love about these boards.

How did God become a man?
You are here: Home / Questioning God / Jesus Christ / How did God become a man?
In a word: "miraculously." When God became a man in the person of Jesus Christ, he overthrew the basic principle on which he had founded the universe: the distinction between the Creator and the creation.
The opening words of the Bible make that distinction clear: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"(Genesis 1:1). That means God is not the world, nor is he anything in the world.
The chasm between God and everything that isn't God is vast and unbridgeable. Martin Luther once said it would be far easier to understand that a man became a donkey, than that God became a man. "Man" and "donkey" have much more in common. They're both creatures, which makes them fundamentally like each other and fundamentally different from their Creator.
The Bible states that at a specific time and place in history, the eternal, almighty, infinite God became a human being like you and me, and yet without ceasing for an instant to be God.
God's own angel explained it to a virgin by the name of Mary. He said: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God" Luke 1:35.
This results in paradoxes we simply can't understand. The Bible makes no attempt to explain them either. It simply says the baby who lay in the manger at Bethlehem is the Creator of the universe. The infinite, eternal God grew up in a village in Galilee. The almighty God went hungry, got thirsty, and even fell asleep.
Most miraculous and amazing of all, the immortal, eternal God died on Jesus' cross.
These truths have important implications and blessings for us. Here are a few of them: Jesus' atoning work is limitless in its scope and application; the sins of the world are completely paid; the redemption of mankind is accomplished; and God's love for people is boundless.

chr Beautiful World


We are fighting an enemy today, and everyday who desires that we, our neighbors and the people of this world live in chaos, brokenness, and destruction. Satan is constantly trying to stop God's work here on earth. God's command to us is to go unto all the nations and make disciples. This is a big task and the battle is fierce. Satan is not one to give up, and he constantly comes up with new ways to get you demobilized as you work for the Lord. The difference between how the Lord shows you what HE has planned for you and how Satan attacks you is this: Christ reveals His plan a little at a time to you, just as much as you can handle without getting overwhelmed or self sustained. Satan, on the other hand, drops an "atomic bomb" filled with things that will make life hard for you. His intention is to overload you and to give you more than you can handle so you will break and give up.
But we have hope. When the battle is fierce and we are called to fight for our homes, for our brothers, sisters, wife and children we can call on our commanding officer The Lord Jesus Christ! He mobilizes His angel armies to fight alongside us. Think about this: if every believer would pray and encourage the groups/people mentioned earlier then we would see the protection and provision of God in mighty ways.
How do you fight this battle and encourage those in your home, church, and life?
1. Call on God. Show your dependence on Him and make Him your refuge. Pray for protection for those around you. Ask God to show you what steps to take to continue the work He has called us to.
2. Encourage one another. There is a saying …. When days are dark friends are few. When dark days come remind your friend of the great God we serve. Remind him of the great things God has done for him in the past and how He will never leave him or forsake him. Tell them that they are not fighting this alone. Get in the fox hole with them!
Christians we are called to battle. If you look at the world today you can see what happens if we do not fight. We see leadership makes decisions to kick Jesus out of everything and the world supports everything that goes against God and punishes those who stand on the truth.
So today I want to encourage you to STAND UP AND FIGHT!! Fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes and stand together as soldiers for Christ so we can gain ground against the enemy one by one.

Halal Friendly Services for Healthcare Visitors in Singapore from the Middle East
An increasing number of people from the Middle East are travelling for Healthcare to Singapore, and Crescentrating is now expanding its services to cater to this segment of travellers.
Crescentrating has just announced that it is partnering with Wellcare Medical & Executive Concierge Services to offer Halal Friendly Travel & Concierge Services for Muslim Healthcare visitors to Singapore.
With Singapore Hospitals already equipped to take care of the specific needs of the Halal conscious visitors, this initiative is expected to further boost Singapore as a preferred destination for those seeking specific treatment or general healthcare services from these regions.
"This is a logical extension to the services that we have already launched. With more and more Muslims travelling not just for leisure and business but also for Healthcare, we wanted to extend Halal Friendly Travel services for these travellers as well" said Fazal Bahardeen, CEO of Crescentrating. "Our goal is to provide a wide range of services covering all aspects for the Halal conscious travellers, so that they can travel with peace of mind, whether for leisure, business or healthcare" added Fazal
Beyond providing medical related information as well as liaising with hospitals and doctors, the services will ensure that the visitors' Halal related requirements are taken into account during their stay in Singapore. It will also promote packages that will combine general health screening services with holidays to Singapore.
Wellcare has been a Healthcare concierge services provider, for well over 3 years. "Singapore is becoming a popular destination for visitors from Middle East, South East Asia and South Asia seeking high quality healthcare. Our experiences with visitors from these regions fits very well with Crescentrating's focus on Halal friendly services for travellers" said Borhan Saini, Managing Director of Wellcare. "Our goal is to provide one-stop and personalized services to healthcare visitors to Singapore" added Borhan.
Mr Sheikh Mohammed Saleem from the UAE-Abu Dhabi shared his satisfactions during the time in Singapore for his father's cancer treatment, "I am very satisfied with the one stop service Wellcare had provided us with. We knew little about Singapore and with the provision of Wellcare's extended services (aligning with our requests) to ensure our religious needs apart from the other needs were being aided, nothing went wrong. From accommodation to Halal meals, right up to the smallest details such as, information on the whereabouts of the prayer rooms were all being taken care of. I will, with no qualms, spread word of mouth and refer Wellcare to my family and relatives, friends and acquaintances."
"Crescentrating will continue to work with other partners to cover all aspects of Healthcare travellers" added Fazal.

Health Services need to develop Home-Sharing to continue to improve life for people.
Home Sharing in intellectual disability services has existed in Ireland for the last thirty years as an alternative option to the traditional residential and respite care models of support offered to people with intellectual disability and their families. The last ten years has seen further developments in Home Sharing, which was formally recognised as a model of residential and respite support by the HSE in 2012, with the publication of the report of the working group 'Respite/Residential Care with Host Families in Community Settings' (HSE, 2012). Service providers continue to offer people with intellectual disability and their families, alternatives to the traditional models of centre-based respite and residential group home living. Service providers have been further guided in the management and governance of Home Sharing placements with the publication of the 'Host Family Support Model of Service Provision – Governance/Guidance Document to Support Implementation' (HSE, 2012).
Home Sharing has been further developed and fostered by the National Home-sharing and Short-breaks Network (NHSN), established in 2003 to promote uniformity and high standards amongst disability service providers throughout Ireland that offer Home Sharing. This alternative to the traditional model of service delivery has assisted HSE services and HSE-funded organisations in the development of person-centred and community-based supports. While acknowledging that Home Sharing is not for everyone, the support model has grown over the years and is becoming more and more popular with people with intellectual disability, their families and service providers (Merriman, B. & Canavan, J. 2007, Murphy, T. 2010 & Coll, M & Scully, S. 2011, ISBA, 2016).
The 2016 International Short Breaks Association (ISBA) conference (a worldwide community promoting the delivery of short breaks) held in Edinburgh, further endorses short breaks as an essential support system aimed at families caring for people with disability. ISBA recognises and promotes the 'Every Disabled Child Matters' (2011) campaign and the English Government has legislated for the provision of short breaks for families of people with disability. They recognise the importance of providing short breaks to families as a means to maintaining and continuing to support people with disability in their home/community, and that the importance of these short breaks cannot be overstated. Broach (2016) states that this has been achieved in England through campaigning policymakers and through political influence (ISBA, 2016).
Home Sharing has developed primarily within the non-statutory sector since 1985 and incremental thereafter over the years in response to service need and demands. It was offered as a means to providing alternative forms of residential care and centre-based respite for people with intellectual disability who found themselves in crisis situations. In some HSE community healthcare organisations (CHOs), Home Sharing has developed positively over the last ten years as a response to service providers listening to, and offering choice to people with intellectual disability in the provision of alternatives to the traditional models of centre-based respite and residential group home living. This development encompasses the ethos and values of the HSE Social Care Division Operational Plan (2016), that people with intellectual disability 'achieve their potential, living ordinary lives in ordinary places, as independently as possible while ensuring the voice of the service users and their family is heard' (HSE, 2016, pg 2). It must be acknowledged however, that Home Sharing as it is currently delivered is inconsistent nationally.
In further recognition of Home Sharing as a model of person-centred and community-based support to adults and children with intellectual disability, the HSE established a National Expert Group in 2016 to carry out a review of Home Sharing in Ireland. The terms of reference for the National Expert Group was to review the HSE (2012) document 'Host Family Support Model of Service Provision – Governance/Guidance Document to Support Implementation', and produce a report with recommendations for the future provision of Home Sharing in Ireland. The report of the National Expert Group, entitled 'Home Sharing in Intellectual Disability Services in Ireland' (HSE, 2016) was complete in June 2016 and presented to the HSE Social Care Management Team in August 2016.
The report is divided into three sections. Section 1 examines 'Home Sharing as a Model of Service Provision' and makes a number of recommendations for the service as it (a) is currently managed and governed, and (b) for it to continue as a model of service on offer to people with intellectual disability and their families. Section 2 entitled 'HSE National Guidelines for Home Sharing' provides a clear set of guidelines that service providers must follow and implement when offering Home Sharing to adults and children with intellectual disability and their families. Section 3, entitled 'Guidance Document to Support Implementation' provides a comprehensive implementation pack to support and guide service providers in Home Sharing as a model of service. Section 3 also includes a training pack that service providers must adhere to and apply to the existing Home Sharing service, and to the implementation and further development of Home Sharing (HSE, 2016).
As recommended by the National Expert Group (HSE, 2016), all placements are collectively referred to as 'Home Sharing' placements. A 'Home Sharing Family' refers to any household providing short breaks or full-time support to a person with intellectual disability in their own (Home Sharing family's) home. In order to bring a consistent approach to the service from a national perspective, Home Sharing as a model of support is sub-divided into three categories, namely a) short breaks, b) shared living and c) contract families.
Home Sharing 'Short Breaks' involves a Home Sharing family in the community offering a placement to a person with intellectual disability in their home (Home Sharing families home) for short breaks, and caring for that person as a member of their family.
The physical, behavioural or healthcare needs of some children and adults with intellectual disability are complex and more challenging. In recognition of this, service providers recruit 'Contract Families' (specialist carers) from their existing pool of approved Home Sharing families to provide short break support. Contract families are expected to be available to provide short breaks for ten (10), sixteen (16) or twenty (20) nights per month.
A Home Sharing 'Shared Living' family is a family that provides full-time care to a person with intellectual disability, similar to a fostering placement. The shared living family make their home available to a person with intellectual disability, to share their home on a full-time basis as a member of their family.
As the programme for reform within disability services in Ireland progresses, there is a commitment from the HSE Social Care Division that Home Sharing, as a person-centred and community inclusive model of service, which is embedded in the principles of normalisation, is available to people with intellectual disability and their families as part of the menu of support options on offer. In recognition of Home Sharing as a support model available to people with intellectual disability, the HSE has made provision in the National Service Plan (HSE, 2016) for the further development of Home Sharing as a model of respite and full time support available. This commitment will enhance and strengthen the existing management and governance arrangements for the cohort of people who currently receive Home Sharing support; at the same time it will improve quality, and strengthen the safeguards that are in place to support people with intellectual disability who receive Home Sharing support, either directly by the HSE or on behalf of the HSE.
It is widely held internationally, nationally and indeed from the experience of local intellectual disability service providers in Ireland, that there are many advantages to Home Sharing as a model of service provision. Home Sharing aims to have opportunities for self-expression in all aspects of the person's life. Home Sharing strives to empower people with intellectual disability to have dignifying relationships and to be included meaningfully in the life of their communities. The uniqueness of Home Sharing is that support is provided for individuals with intellectual disability by families in the community, in their own (Home Sharing family's) home. People with intellectual disability enjoy the opportunity of developing new relationships and being part of new communities whilst enjoying a short break or full time support (HSE, 2016).
Siun is a sixteen-year-old girl who has cerebral palsy, a profound intellectual and physical disability. Siun is extremely medically frail. Attendance at school is sporadic due to poor health and frequent hospitalisations. Siun requires twenty-four-hour care and receives all her nutrition through a peg tube. Her natural family are overwhelmed and exhausted with this relentless cycle of caring for their daughter. A Home Sharing family provides two (2) overnight breaks per week to Siun. Her natural family have described this support as a 'lifeline to them'. Significant training was provided to the Home Sharing family by the clinical nurse specialist with the support of the paediatric hospital. Regular contact is maintained with the Home Sharing family by the clinical nurse manager and the social work team leader.
Families of people with intellectual disability are advising service providers that one of the supports that they need to enable them to continue to care for their family member at home is short breaks. Short breaks give them a break from their role as carer, and provide their family member an opportunity to be with others and benefit from new experiences. In research carried out by UCC Science Shops (2011), parents spoke about the pressure on them as carers.
Families who avail of Home Sharing have reported that close and trusting relationships have developed between them as carers, their family members and their Home Sharing families (HSE, 2016).
While recognising the advantages of Home Sharing for people with intellectual disability there are, however, strategic and operational challenges in the delivery of this model of support within an Irish context. There is currently no legal framework for the regulation of Home Sharing in Ireland, which is urgently required to underpin the safe governance and management of the service. As Home Sharing has developed 'piecemeal' over the years, limited resources are allocated to the monitoring, management and further development of Home Sharing nationally. There is also an inequity in the protection afforded to children with intellectual disability who are in Home Sharing on a full-time basis but are not under the protection of a care order.
Notwithstanding these obstacles, the National Expert Group advocate for statutory recognition of Home Sharing and for the continued development of Home Sharing as a model of support on offer to people with intellectual disability and their families. This is in keeping with international and national evidence to support Home Sharing as an individualised, person-centred and inclusive model of support service, as Home Sharing supports people with intellectual disability to receive support with families in the community. Nonetheless, Home Sharing in Ireland requires a commitment and further investment by the HSE and various Government departments for it to continue as it currently stands, and for its future development as part of the HSE service planning process. Immediate action is required in this regard.
The report of the National Expert Group 'Home Sharing in Intellectual Disability Services in Ireland' (HSE, 2016) has identified both strategic and operational challenges for Home Sharing within an Irish context while at the same time it has provided the blueprint for resolving these issues. The report calls for the further development of Home Sharing as a model of full-time and respite support for people with intellectual disability in Ireland. This must be delivered in line with the HSE Corporate Plan 2015-2017, where the overall aim is 'to provide high quality, sustainable health care which encompasses the values of Care, Compassion, Trust and Learning' (HSE, 2015, pg 4). At the same time, Home Sharing must encompass the mission of the HSE Social Care Division whereby the aim is about 'supporting the ongoing service requirements of people with disabilities with the designs and models of care/support and services to support and maintain people to live at home or in the community and to promote their independence and lifestyle choice in as far as possible' (HSE Operational Plan, 2016, pg 2).

The New Projects That I Promised!
First, I would like to introduce to you Gretchen or Doll with Bear. She was created out of all cotton yarn, for her body and hair. The dress and bears are acrylic as are the shoes and hair ties. She has blue safety eyes, so they will not come off. Her nose and lips are embroidered. They are not perfect, but are any of us made perfectly? No, we all have flaws and true to life, my dolls are also flawed slightly. She is the first doll that I have made from this pattern. you can find it on amigurumiBB's blog under Waldorf Inspired Doll. It is a free pdf file. I really think Vanja, who is amigurumiBB, is so clever. Her designs are brilliant! And this is not false flattery. I crochet her patterns for dolls and she thinks of everything! For instance, the foot of this doll is more vertical than horizontal as a child's foot would be; so she created the shoe to fit the foot exactly! So clever! So, if you would like me to make you a custom doll, just e-mail me at cabincrochetcreations@gmail.com!
Second, I would like to show you the Ruffled Shawl/Cape I made from a Ravelry pattern by Linda Kay-Smith. I just call it my cape! I have always loved capes. When I was in my late teens I got a beautiful Admiral's Cape from an Army/Navy Surplus store in the town where I was going to collage. There were two lion's heads at the neck and a chain that hooked onto them both. It had a huge, deep pocket, on the inside and it was made from a thick, black wool. Do you think I liked it?! That was several lifetimes ago! I was very preppy in high school, but when I went to collage I turned into a rebel and wore only clothes (retro) from second hand stores. i wish I had a picture to show you but they have been lost along the way. So. back to this cape. It was made from 16 skeins of Lion Brand Heartland Thick and Quick Sequoia. Since that is a lot of yarn, it is priced accordingly. I am going to be a part of the "Honeycraft Market" for "Groundhog Days" since I live in the town where the movie was filmed. I will have all my stuff for sale, including this gorgeous cape!
Finally!! I can present to you, The Princess! She is inspired by "My Little Pony"'s "Princess Celestia"! She took 20 days to make! That is SO long. For what I have sold her for I made less than $6/day and that is a 10-12 hour day! I am pretty impressed with her, if I do say so myself! 🙂 The pattern I used is complements of knitoneawesome.co.uk. I think CeeFax, the designer, is a genius! All of the "MLP" inspired characters I make are all her patterns. Pretty cool. If you would like to order one please e-mail me at cabincrochetcreations@gmail.com.
So, even though I haven't blogged in a while, you can see that I have been busy! Please come and see me Saturday January 30th at Mixn' Mingle on the square, in Woodstock, IL for the "Groundhog Days" "Honeycraft Market"! 10 am to 4 pm! There is a Facebook Event posted under the above names and it has maps and pictures of some of the vendors wares that will be there. It will be fun! See you there! Have a safe and blessed time before I write again!

2009 Training Camp Coverage
Training Camp Notes: Day 2, Morning Session
By Seth Sep 30, 2009, 1:37pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Training Camp Notes: Day 2, Morning Session
First things first. I got a few interviews yesterday that I intended to put online this morning. Unfortunately, some communication between the microphone and camera was shot, so instead of witty banter, all you could hear was a continuous, ear-melting squeal. I'm gonna hold on to the tape and see what I can do with it later, but in the mean time, my apologies. As far as other video goes, I got a couple halfway decent interviews today, and have more planned. I didn't originally want to film scrimmages, but I'm getting the sense that there's plenty of demand for those, so I'll do what I can.
Meanwhile, the second morning practice finished up a couple hours ago, and there were once again some obvious discrepancies from last year's drills. We got to see plenty of conditioning stuff- full-court drills, running, and a circuit of weight work, but there was another task that had Mike D'Antoni most occupied. It's a defensive drill: five offensive players stand around the perimeter, swinging the ball rapidly from man to man. Five players on defense must shift and communicate while reacting to the ball movement. Eventually, the offense starts cutting and and making craftier passes, and the D has to keep up. I think I mentioned this on the Twitter, but Mike D'Antoni got seriously animated about this one. It was hard to tell exactly what he said, but there were multiple occasions when he actually cut the drill short to direct traffic and chastise certain guys. It was intense, and it was defense. Hahn's got the word on that here.
A couple player notes:
- Danilo Gallinari shouldn't be chest-bumping or ass-bumping anybody, if you ask me. Gotta protect that back. Stick with the classic high five.
- Darko Milicic is, as many have said before, a very strong lefty. He prefers to finish left on either side of the rim, and isn't the most ambidextrous of dribblers.
- Eddy Curry wasn't present today because of that strained calf.
- Jordan Hill, for all his youthful pitfalls, runs the floor like a pro. He's fast for a big guy, and appears to be pretty well-conditioned. These full-court drills look absolutely exhausting, but Jordan was able to keep up at full speed. He also looked much more adept at stopping on a dime and hitting the short jumper today.
- Al Harrington and Jared Jeffries made a point of screaming "AHHH!! AHHH!!" and "IT HURTS!!!" while doing the strength drills on balance balls.
Couple things I forgot to mention from yesterday: The players have personalized smoothies with their names on them, each calibrated to fit their nutritional needs and flavor preferences. In the lost interviews, Warren Carter told me his was peanut butter flavored, and Darko Milicic said his was made of "English fruit", whatever that is. Sun Yue's, incidentally, was labeled "#32, CUTTINO MOBLEY". He didn't seem to mind. (Insert "I drink your milshake!" joke here.)
- Also last night, I overheard Eddy Curry and Chris Duhon discussing how strenuous Mike D'Antoni's full-court drills were. Both agreed that it was harder than anything Scott Skiles had ever made them do.
I've got a few classes to go to, then it's off to scrimmages this evening. I'll have more notes, and hopefully some action-packed video up by tomorrow morning. I think I'm gonna save all the interviews for last, so sit tight and satiate your Knick craving with the scrimmage vids for now. Keep commenting and emailing, and watch the Twitter for live updates starting at around 10 a.m. each morning and 6 p.m. each evening.

A service which has now been updated by the inclusion of an iPhone app, RunPee will let you know when it is a good time to take a restroom break. It not only tells you about which moment is the best to deal with the call of nature, but it can also let you know about what you missed when you visited the toilet.
The movies which are featured can be browsed both by release date, running time and alphabetically. There is also a "classic movies" category for old timers and grey heads.
As well as providing toilet-related information, this app has information about additional scenes that run once the credits have finished rolling. I personally always stay for the credits, mainly out of respect for the people involved in the movie, yet I understand (and see, obviously) that people usually don't do that.
I find this a very novel and convenient app. That has got nothing to do with the fact that my best friend specializes in missing key movie parts because he keeps on going to the bathroom out of turn. It is an original concept that deserves to gain traction.
It is a fresh idea and concept if I ever saw one. And I will no longer have to spend three minutes explaining key scenes to my best friend after he comes back from his untimely incursions.
Which countries are supported so far? Which ones are going to be supported next?
